Blackburn with Darwen wellbeing watchdog budget safe (From This Is Lancashire)
Blackburn with Darwen wellbeing watchdog budget safe
10:33am Tuesday 25th February 2014 in News
A HEALTH watchdog has been assured its 'meagre' budget will not be cut.
Sir Bill Taylor, chairman of Blackburn with Darwen Healthwatch, said: "Our budget is modest, meagre even, at £155,000 a year, which is less than a top doctor's salary, and less than a quid per head of the population we serve.
"But we are assured that it is a protected amount. The council values citizen engagement, and no more so than for our NHS and adult social care.
"We have only been instituted last summer, and we have been building our board to best represent our community. They have been busy building for the future, keeping current duties ticking over while consulting with commissioners, providers, and third sector groups to ensure our watchdog role is best placed to serve our community."

Librarians' New Job Title: Career Counselor
Job seekers are searching out help at the library.
I'm a major proponent of library usage. I have library cards in my wallet issued from the last three cities in which I've lived, and, while I haven't kept track, I can assure you that those cards have prevented the other cards (credit, debit) from some abuse. The really great libraries hold more free books, British miniseries DVDs, foreign language CDs, and quiet corners than one could ever make room for at home.
It's a no-brainer that money-conscious job seekers are availing themselves of the library's many great assets. Today's WSJ reports that library branches throughout the country are being inundated with job seekers who are looking for help in the form of career advice books, time on the computers, free Wi-Fi, and the librarians, themselves.
An excerpt:
Librarians are turning into job counselors -- and even social workers -- as they have to deal with a sometimes-desperate new class of patrons. "They are frustrated, overwhelmed and thought they would not be job hunting again in their lives," says Jan Perrier, head of reference and adult services at the Roxbury Public Library in Succasunna, N.J. "I had one woman just so overwhelmed she sat in front of the PC and cried."
Here are a few pieces of advice for job hunters headed to the library:

In one of the most remarkable comebacks in pop history, Carlos Santana scored nine Grammys for Supernatural, a 1999 outing that boasted big-time radio hits ("Smooth," with Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas on vocals), an all-star cast (Eric Clapton, Lauryn Hill), and impressive critical credibility. As Santana's successful bid for youth-market favor, the album reached out demographically but did not compromise aesthetically—at its center was Santana's riveting guitar. Supernatural, his 36th album, followed nearly 20 years during which Santana still had his adherents, though he had long left the limelight. The album rekindled the excitement of the guitarist's early days, and showed how enduring the power of his Afro-Cuban sound remained.
The box set, Dance of the Rainbow Serpent, as well as Lotus, a compelling, 22-song live offering, best captures Santana's considerable appeal. Formed in San Francisco in 1967, the band fed the current scene's appetite for long open-air jams with an athletic mixture of blazing guitar and frenetic percussion. Santana's novelty lay in employing the jam format for Latin music. Leader/guitarist Carlos Santana, drummer Michael Shrieve, and percussionist Jose "Chepito" Areas were the band's anchors; fusing Hispanic danceforms and bluesy rock, they achieved a synthesis of the familiar and the exotic. Lotus finds Santana at its peak; throughout its history, the band was marked by frequent personnel changes, and this lineup is its strongest. With Leon Patillo, they'd enlisted a singer markedly more soulful than either original vocalist Greg Rolie or later mainstay Alex Ligterwood, and the entire eight-member unit achieves a remarkable, instinctive symbiosis. Charging through early hits (Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman," Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va"), this outfit is both fiery and fluid, and with Airto Moreira's "Xibaba (She-Ba-Ba)" and Richard Kermode's "Yours Is the Light," the group suggests its coming direction—jazz-rock fusion and flights into the mystic.
Because its rhythmic basis was so strong and the music itself a solid mix of genres, Santana's would-be jazz fusion was of a less irritating variety than most (the band drew heavily on Miles Davis' Bitches Brew period aggressiveness and rarely stooped to jazz lite). But at the late-'70s height of experimenting with complex chord structures and aimless "atmosphere" (Moonflower, Inner Secrets) Santana had become something unimaginable for such a passionate ensemble: boring. After the jazz foray came the pop—starting with Zebop! and continuing to the present—when Santana began to border on the trite.
Santana's first albums were brilliant, and they hold up very well. World beat ahead of its time, Santana riveted Woodstock audiences with one of the festival's most exciting stage acts. (The Woodstock Experience pairs Santana's debut with a second disc of his Woodstock set.) Carlos' playing continued to delight, even when squandered on inferior material, throughout the band's career. On his own, Carlos Santana flexed his guitar in a number of settings. An instantly recognizable musician—with an intense B.B. King–style clarity of tone, he achieves long, fluid lead lines that resemble those of a violinist—Carlos sounds best when he's juxtaposed against heavy percussion. He became a devotee of Indian guru Sri Chinmoy in the early '70s (and took the name Devadip, or "Light of the lamp of the Supreme") and recorded the drifty Love, Devotion, Surrender with fellow disciple and guitar wizard, John McLaughlin, in 1974. The even driftier Illuminations came that same year, boasting another Chinmoy adherent, jazz composer Alice Coltrane. Despite the presence of such big-name (if unlikely) collaborators as Willie Nelson, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Booker T. Jones, Havana Moon was fairly bland; Blues for Salvador remains one of his strongest efforts. Supernatural sold more than 10 million copies within a year of its release, garnering Santana the kind of superstar status that had long been denied him. Unfortuntely, All That I Am repeated Supernatural's formula with different guests—including Mary J. Blige, Big Boi, and Michelle Branch—and weaker tunes.

The Union-Recorder
MILLEDGEVILLE — Baldwin High School senior Taylor Martin has enjoyed taking online courses for the last two years to further her knowledge in content areas not offered in the regular high school curriculum. With Georgia Virtual School (GaVS), students are provided that option of online learning.
"I have taken Latin I, Latin II, forensic science, mythology, journalism and world history. I signed up because I really wanted to take Latin and Baldwin High School didn't offer it. I ended up loving the system, so I wanted to do more," said Martin, who plans to attend the University of Alabama to major in English. "In a real classroom, you have be there and do the work, and online you do the work because you want to do it. I love it because you work and learn at your own pace. It's definitely helped prepare me for the college mentality."
GaVS is a program of the Georgia Department of Education's Office of Technology Services. Operating in partnership with schools and parents, students are offered middle and high school level courses across the state. GaVS provides a teacher-led virtual classroom environment and equips students with an online media center and guidance center to support students throughout their online course experience.
"Baldwin High School has offered GaVS for at least eight years. We offer classes that we don't offer in our building and it gives students those courses through Georgia Virtual School," said Joellen Waller, high school GaVS facilitator. "GaVS helps transfer students from other schools because they have the opportunity to finish up a course at another school; students can learn a new language apart from their regular school schedule, and they can take advanced AP classes that we don't offer. GaVS really gives students a chance to learn something they wouldn't be exposed to otherwise."
GaVS offers courses during the regular school year as well as providing a tuition-based summer school program. Courses range from electives, world languages, fine arts and health to language arts, math, science, social studies and test preparation.
"This semester we had 20 students and for the fall semester we had 24 students," said Waller Thursday as students registered for courses for the next school year. "We have registered 36 students for the upcoming fall and spring semester, which is the largest number we've ever had."
Junior Leah Gordon said she enjoys taking GaVS courses during her own time without the distractions usually associated in a traditional classroom setting.
"I just can't sit in a class with so many distractions. With this, I pace myself and if I don't understand something, then I can access it online anytime of the day with no other distractions," she said. "I have taken Latin I and Latin II, and I'm planning on taking another language in the spring semester next year, either Italian or French. I would recommend taking online classes to my peers, but only if they're able to take on the responsibility because you have to make sure you get the work done on time."
Registered students in the GaVS program will begin courses the first week of August after completing an online orientation. Classes will conclude one week prior to the regular school semester.
"There's a lot more diversity in what students are studying. This gives them the opportunity to branch out and follow things they are interested in more in-depth than what they can do in a regular high school curriculum since we're limited in what we can offer," Waller said. "Students have to be very independent and self-motivated. It's a wonderful prep tool for college because they have to learn how to pace themselves and look at material early enough so they can turn in assignments on time to earn a full credit for the grade."
Within the past two years, senior James Vogt has completed three semesters of Japanese and one semester of Chinese. He recently took the National Japanese Exam and scored high enough to earn a bronze certificate.
"I didn't want to take Spanish and I have always been interested in Asian cultures," said Vogt, who is looking forward to attending Georgia College and Georgia Tech to pursue a degree in physics and take part in a dual enrollment program with Japan. "This is a good idea for students if you have that drive, you want to learn and you have an interest in the class you're taking. I definitely recommend it to other students very highly, whether it's a language course or not."

I work in bookstores and coffee shops most often. Sometimes, I work in airplanes, and other times, I work in my hotel room. I almost never go to my actual office space south of Boston. There are lots of reasons why.
- Bookstores have books, which are full of ideas. When I work here, I can pluck a book off the shelf, get an idea, and get a new perspective on my project.
- Bookstores and coffeeshops have fresh food and lots of people anxious to serve me the food. It means I can focus on what I'm doing and not worry about the sustenance part.
- Bookstores have big parking lots and lots of room to hold brief, cafe-shaped meetings with a few people. They're not the best place to conduct official business, but they're perfect for brainstorming and idea gathering and status delivering.
- Bookstores are usually staffed with pleasant people who don't do what I do, so they're willing to chat for a few minutes, but won't bury me in the details.
- Bookstores are actually fun. How many people's offices are fun?
What surprises me more is the answer to this question: how come so many people still go to the office?
People's biggest answer usually relates to collaboration. It's harder to get stuff done when everyone's spread out. The second answer seems often to be "we can't tell when people are working or not." That's the one that bugs me. It just means that management and measurements need tweaking.
So what about you? What does the whole web commuting experience mean to what you're doing? What is the value of your office (the place, not the people)?

Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — While some people may be wary of eating food cooked and served out of a truck, the students at Auburn University definitely aren't.
In the last year, Auburn has acquired seven food trucks, all of which have become some of the most popular dining locations on campus. The mobile mania is now known as the Tiger Traxx campaign.
"It started out just as an idea and there was a demand among the students for several new variety options on campus. We found one of the best ways was food trucks," said Gina Wells, marketing specialist for Tiger Dining at Auburn University. "They are very flexible, we can move them around and they offer more variety for students."
Tiger Traxx has a Facebook page that updates students on the daily locations of the food trucks and their hours. Students' comments include requests for trucks closer to their personal classroom buildings or inquires about where their favorite trucks will be next.
Wells said several trucks approached Auburn when it was still a new idea. She said they've learned traffic patterns and how best to operate the trucks as a functioning unit on the campus.
The first trucks introduced to Auburn's campus a year ago were Domino's Mobile Pizza Kitchen and student-favorite Tex's Tacos.
"Tex's Tacos is amazing," said Daniel Musselwhite, senior in wildlife sciences. "That and Momma G's, it's some of the best food on campus. The lines, especially for the taco truck, can get pretty crazy, but it's worth it."
Wells said the success of Tex's Tacos is due only in part to its food.
"Mac Helms is the owner and co-founder of the taco truck, and he just has an outstanding personality," Wells said. "The students loved the product itself and his personality and customer service just created this great environment."
By the end of the spring semester 2012, Tex's Tacos was joined by Slider U, Kona Ice and Momma Goldberg's food trucks.
Wells said Auburn determines which trucks to bring to campus based on the product offered and the potential for success on the campus.
"It really depends on what kind of product the food truck offers and what kind of commitment they can make," Wells said. "We are open to any and all ideas, and they can come to campus and have a meeting with us."
Wells said a major factor is the truck owner's ability to commit to remaining local. She said many drivers wanted to split their time between Auburn and the popular food truck park in Atlanta, but that they have more success when they can remain in Auburn.
Several new food trucks have been spotted on campus this school year, including Munch Food Truck, Mighty Meatballs, Honeysuckle Gelato and Mac the Cheese.
Wells said the trucks move locations regularly to accommodate as many students as possible and create a balanced schedule and traffic pattern on the concourse. Some, like Kona Ice and Honeysuckle Gelato, make appearances seasonally or depending on the weather.
"I love Kona Ice," said Cheyenne Rudowski, a junior in art history. "And the gelato too; you just can't beat that when it's a hot Alabama day."
Wells said Auburn is open to bringing more food trucks in the near future.
"We don't have anything confirmed, but we are always looking for new ideas," she said. "If anyone has any, we are very open to hearing them out."
"I think the food trucks are here to stay," Rudowski said. "As long as that's where students can get the best food, that's where they'll go."

CLEMSON — Over the past six years, numerous major programs have tried – and failed – to pry Jim Grobe away from Wake Forest. Few coaches in America do more with less than Grobe and his coaching staff. The Demon Deacons aren't the nation's flashiest program; remodeled BB&T Field seats only 31,500. Winston-Salem, N.C., isn't a college football destination. But the Deacs typically manage to win more than they lose, and scare the rest of the ACC in the process. In his 12th season, Grobe has five bowl trips and an ACC title, and at 4-3 entering Thursday's game with Clemson, Wake is right back in bowl contention. Here's a breakdown of how that crucial game will shake out for both sides.
Challenge of short week for road team
Over the last decade or so, Wake Forest has been a consistent thorn in the Tigers' collective paw. Clemson has just two wins in its last five trips to Winston-Salem, and that includes 2006's 27-17 comeback win sparked by the late Gaines Adams' scoop-and-score of a botched Wake field goal. A year ago, Wake pushed Clemson to the limit before Chandler Catanzaro's last-play field goal sealed a 31-28 win. The Demon Deacons are 11th in the ACC in passing, but could get a boost from star wide receiver Michael Campanaro, who'll play after missing two games with a broken hand. He has 38 receptions for 429 yards and two scores this season. Clemson brings in a thin secondary. Starting corner Darius Robinson will miss the rest of the regular season with a fractured ankle, and fellow starter Bashaud Breeland will miss the game with a groin strain. Tailback Josh Harris (61 ypg) is seventh in the ACC in rushing, and defensive tackle Nikita Whitlock is one of the league's top defensive linemen.
On paper, the Demon Deacons don't scare anyone. They're 10th in the ACC in scoring offense (22 ppg), 10th in rushing offense (120.6 ypg), 11th in passing offense (195.6 ypg), eighth in scoring defense (28 ppg), ninth in rushing defense (183 ypg), and fifth in passing defense (221.3 ypg). They've cracked 30 points only once (a 49-37 win over Army); Clemson has scored at least 37 points in five of its six games, with the low a 26-18 win over Auburn. Junior quarterback Tanner Price, expected to be a top-echelon ACC signalcaller, has seven touchdowns against seven interceptions and averages 189 ypg passing. It has been a difficult fall for Wake; eight players have served suspensions for arrests and failed drug tests connected to marijuana.
Four years and three weeks ago, Clemson suffered through what Dabo Swinney called a "nightmare" of a 12-7 Thursday night loss at Wake Forest. Four days later, Tommy Bowden stepped down under pressure and Swinney took over as the interim, and eventually the full-time, head coach. Clemson has re-established itself as an ACC power, but BB&T Field remains a dangerous place to play, especially with a fired-up Thursday night crowd and ESPN cameras in the house. The Demon Deacons are a competent, but not great defensive team, and the Tigers will be motivated to prove last week's uneven offensive effort against Virginia Tech was just a fluke. Wake will likely test the injury-riddled secondary, but Clemson should be able to pile up enough points to end talk of the Thursday night hex.
Prediction: Clemson 42, Wake Forest 24

In recognition of this year's 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, I wanted to share the pivotal role Kansas played in its history. Most Americans don't realize that Kansas' decision to enter the Union as a "free" state on January 29, 1861, ignited the passion and fury of a country divided over slavery. Just a few months later, on April 12, the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, S.C.
Long before the war began, "Bleeding Kansas" had etched its struggles into the souls of a nation. Today, the battlefields, massacres, burnings and all-out border wars in 29 counties in eastern Kansas and 12 counties in western Missouri are designated the Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area. From the Underground Railroad to the Lecompton Constitution, the FFNHA showcases the region's contributions to the struggle for equality and provides a rich learning experience for people of all ages.
This year is a great one for families to visit Kansas and tour a number of Civil War era landmarks and memorials, including at the Frontier Army Museum and other sites at Fort Leavenworth, the oldest operational military post west of the Missouri River. Many of the buildings and enlisted officers' quarters on the sprawling post date from the 1850s, when the fort briefly served as the seat of the first territorial governor. Throughout the year, we will profile additional Kansas sites that commemorate the struggles of the Civil War, such as Black Jack Battlefield and Fort Scott.Becky Blake is the Director of the Kansas Department of Commerce, Travel & Tourism Division, and has been involved in the Kansas tourism industry for the past 30 years. TravelKS Blog provides a brief update from Becky each week, featuring communities, events and attractions throughout the state.

Thread: Georgia judge denies Hustler magazine's request for release of photos of hiker's nude, decapitated body
Georgia judge denies Hustler magazine's request for release of photos of hiker's nude, decapitated bodyPhotos of the nude and decapitated body of a murdered hiker, sought by a writer on assignment for Hustler magazine, will not be released, a judge in Georgia ordered Wednesday. The decision came as state lawmakers considered legislation that would ban public release of graphic photos of crime victims. First Amendment lawyers say the legislation could have a chilling effect on open records requests.
DeKalb Superior Court Judge Daniel Coursey issued a temporary order restraining the Georgia Bureau of Investigation from releasing "any and all photographs, visual images or depictions of Meredith Emerson which show Emerson in an unclothed or dismembered state.
Emerson's family sought the order after learning of the request for copies of crime scene photos of the 24-year-old, attorney Lindsay Haigh said. Emerson's admitted killer, Gary Michael Hilton, received a life sentence in exchange for leading investigators to her body in the north Georgia mountains on January 7, 2008, six days after Emerson disappeared.

Eric Wroblewski said it will be the first business of its kind in Allegheny County: A car and dog wash paired with a drive-through coffee shop.
"Basically, it's very unique," Wroblewski said. "We're giving the public a chance to wash their car and wash their dogs on the same property."
Wroblewski and his brother Scott Wroblewski are preparing to open Moon Flight, a University Boulevard business that will feature five car washing stations and two dog-grooming stations alongside a drive-through coffee service.
The business will open its doors on Aug. 1, Wroblewski said.
"My brother [Scott] lives in Sewickley, and we know that within lower Moon Township there are no car washes," he said. "And we thought it would be a good opportunity, especially with [the location] being right by Sewickley."
Construction on the 3,406 square-foot building, located at the intersection of University Boulevard and Stoops Ferry Road, is expected to wrap up in the coming weeks. Wroblewski said he plans to hire three staff members to operate the facility.
Moon Flight will feature both drive-through and outdoor car wash stations as well as an outdoor space for pet grooming. Patrons can also pick up a cup of freshly brewed coffee from the store's drive-through window. No indoor eating space will be available.
The new business is not affiliated with the former Moon Flight Coffee and Tea House which closed its Beaver Grade Road location in 2009. Wroblewski, who resides in Zelienople, operates a Valero gas station, car wash and convenience store on Main Street in Zelienople, but the hybrid car wash/coffee stop is a first-time venture for the family.
"We're really excited to introduce this business to Moon Township," Wroblewski said.

It's not a punctuation mistake they are pointing out, it's the fact that it sounds like JGL is having gay sex with their parents.
I like "queer" because it isn't a label that boxes you in - it's sort of for people who want to say they're with the LGBT community but it's not exclusive. I would prefer to say I'm queer than gay or bisexual because I don't really know what the future is going to hold for me in terms of partners or experiences, because I believe sexuality is more fluid than a lot of us allow it to be. It's not derogatory as an identity, but other people can try to use it as such against you. So now, we don't really let them.
I'm not sure it means a whole lot that Amanda Bynes would back you up. Also not sure what your thoughts on people's appearances has to do with this article.
I think they were just trying to cover more classically animated Disney films. The Pixar things would have made this list WAY longer.

MADRID (MarketWatch) -- The recapitalization needs of Spanish banks amounted to €59.3 billion ($76.3 billion), according to results of independent stress tests the Bank of Spain and the Economics Ministry announced Friday. The results came in line with analysts expectations. Recapitalization needs falls to €53.75 billion, when taking into account mergers in progress and tax effects, they said. "The results confirm that the Spanish banking sector is mostly solvent and viable, even in an extremely adverse and highly unlikely macroeconomic setting," said the joint press release. Of the 14 banks analyzed, seven-- accounting for more than 62% of the analyzed bank system's credit portfolio--won't need more capital. The report came after the close of Europe markets, which tumbled on Spain worries. The Spain IBEX 35 index /quotes/zigman/2759620/delayed XX:IBEX +0.25% finished down 1.7% to 7,708.50, as markets viewed the day-earlier budget and economic measures as unrealistic and the country no closer to a bailout. The yield on the 10-year government bond /quotes/zigman/4869131/delayed ES:ES10YT 0.00% was flat at 5.912%. Markets will be watching for a potential downgrade of Spanish sovereign debt by Moody's Investors Service either late Friday or late Sunday as the deadline for that review closes.

The Huffington Post | By Kia Makarechi Posted: 04/ 8/2012 10:42 am Updated: 04/ 8/2012 5:54 pm
"Hunger Games" is the top movie in the country again, easily besting "American Reunion" and bringing in $12.9 million on Friday alone, THR reports.
The film obviously remains a mega hit for Lionsgate and is expected to hit the $300 million mark in record time (excluding summer and holiday releases). It's a massive win, holding off not only "Reunion" but also James Cameron's "Titanic" re-release, which brought in $7.1 million on Friday and is expected to make $15.5 million over the weekend.
Universal's "American Reunion" racked up $9.2 million on Friday and will bring in $22 million over its opening weekend. Those are respectable figures, especially considering the type of reviews the film has received.
"Hunger Games" will be the first movie to pass the $300 million mark since last year's "Transformers" sequel ($352.4 million cumulative gross) and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" ($381 million).
It's unclear, however, if the continued success of the film will help Lionsgate solve the franchise's biggest problem. Conflicting press reports have in recent days offered a dramatic storyline in the search for a "Catching Fire" director. "Fire" is the second novel in the Suzanne Collins series on which the "Hunger Games" movies are based.
On Friday, it was reported that "Games" director Gary Ross had withdrawn from the sequel, but sources told Deadline Saturday that he was very much still interested in directing the sequel.

The brain child of chef Sean Brock, the current toast of the foodie world, Husk was the South's most buzzed-about restaurant when it burst onto the scene in late 2010, and for damn good reason.
The brain child of chef Sean Brock, the current toast of the foodie world, Husk was the South's most buzzed-about restaurant when it burst onto the scene in late 2010, and for damn good reason.
The line outside can begin as early as 8am at this first-come, first served, Southern comfort food institution. Once the lunch bell rings and you are seated family-style, the kitchen unloads on you: fried chicken, beef stew, meatloaf, cheese potatoes, collard greens, black-eyed peas, mac 'n' cheese, rutabaga, candied yams, squash casserole, creamed corn and biscuits.
It may be hidden in West Vail, but man is this fried chicken good. Although we could tout the healthy side of things (non GMO, free-range, veggie-fed birds), it's the dynamite gluten-free batter that earns this place its stars.
'We treat you like family here,' says the waitress at this tiny wood-paneled slip of a diner, Chattanooga's oldest restaurant.
Dedicated to our rural roots, this self-billed 'seasonal kitchen' prides itself on its site-grown herbs and veggies and locally sourced meats. Heck, they even raise their own bees for honey. What's not to love about Texas-inspired dishes like shrimp corn dogs, quail with jalapeño-and-sausage stuffing, or farm-grown fried egg sandwiches with heirloom tomato salad.
Who knew that Bostonians would take so well to grits? No wonder, Hungry Mother does Southern fare right, using fresh local ingredients and classic French cooking techniques. It's a cozy crowded space that feels like somebody's country house, with lots of little rooms and eclectic art and photos on the wall.
It's a hole-in-the-wall place, but the charismatic Charles Gabriel makes the best damn chicken we've ever tasted: crisp and beautifully seasoned, it's served with mountains of collard greens, mac 'n' cheese and corn bread.
Lobster corn dogs. Sweet tea–brined pork chops. Homemade 'coffee and donuts' of donut bread pudding and coffee ice cream. Yes, yes and YES, please! In a pale-purple cottage, this newish neo-Southern bistro takes Fernandina Beach dining to the next level. Many ingredients are local, from St Augustine honey to North Florida farm eggs.
Guests dine in the converted bedrooms and parlors of an elegant old farmhouse, just west of Lexington in the town of Midway. The husband-and-wife owners serve local bounty with a deft touch – lamb with scallion ravioli, farmstead egg custard with fiddlehead ferns – earning scads of foodie praise.
Sample Florida's Southern 'Cracker' cuisine of gator, snake, catfish and frog's legs while surrounded by the surreal animal menagerie of 'America's largest private taxidermy collection.' This swamp shack is unforgettable. It's far south of downtown Jacksonville.
At Tim Love's mod-Western dining experience, even the chefs wear cowboy hats. It's Southern fusion, with the traditional flavors of the region enlivened by all manner of influences. The wine list is superb and the $9 lunch special is truly the best deal in town.
A Charlotte institution, scruffy Price's regularly makes 'Best Fried Chicken in America' lists. Line up to order your 'dark quarter' or 'white half' from the army of white-jacketed cooks, then take your bounty outside – there's no seating.

PORTLAND – As the city experiences a rise in gang-related violence, the mother of a slain man said Friday that people who knew her son's killer refused to come forward. Through tears, she attacked the "code of silence" culture that often shields criminals from prosecution.
The most recent gang-related shooting in Portland was on Tuesday. That brings the year's total to 52 gang-related violent crimes in 2014 so far, almost 20 more than at the same time last year.
More: Gang violence nearly doubles since 2013
The city of Portland's Office of Youth Violence Prevention hosts a bi-weekly meeting of the Gang Violence Task Force to discuss a wide variety of gang related issues in the city.
On Friday, Lucy Mashia addressed the standing-room-only crowd.
Her son, Leonard James Irving Jr., was killed outside a bar near Northeast 82nd Street in a gang-related shooting on June 26. He left behind three young children.
Mashia said her son was not a gangster and that witnesses know who shot her son, but won't talk.
"He was shot in his back four times," Mashia said. "There are two witnesses that were in my son's van who will not talk. I know the names of the people that know my son and I can't do anything. One of them is in jail, but he's not in jail for murder and the other one is walking around."
Mashia held a picture collage of her dead son and his children.

"There's a hole is in my heart that nothing can fill," Mashia said. "I will never be the same person even when we get these guys. And my heart breaks because my community will not stand up and tell the truth because they're protecting some people."
Police said there are currently about 50 gang-related homicides cases in the city that cannot be solved for lack of evidence, many because witnesses will not come forward.
"No one has the right to kill somebody and we as a community need to stand up and say, 'No, you don't get to do that,'" Mashia said. "You don't get to kill nobody's son…you don't get to kill nobody's father."
Her speech garnered a standing ovation from the crowd.

The Parabolic Stop and Reverse (usually known as Parabolic SAR, or just Parabolic) is a trend following indicator, that was developed by J. Welles Wilder. The Parabolic SAR is based upon the theory that a strong trend will continue to increase in strength over time, and will therefore follow a parabolic arc. The Parabolic SAR is displayed as a single parabolic line underneath the price bars for a long (upwards) trend, and above the price bars for a short (downwards) trend. The Parabolic SAR is displayed on the same chart as the price bars, and is the yellow lines in the example chart (full size chart).
- Description : The Parabolic SAR (PSAR) is the underlying parabolic arc of a trend, and uses the most recent extreme (highest and lowest) price (EP), along with an acceleration factor (AF), to determine the future points on the parabolic arc.
- Calculation :
EP = Highest high for a long trend, and lowest low for a short trend, updated each time a new EP is reached
AF = Default of 0.02 (2%), increasing by 0.02 (2%) each time a new EP is reached, with a maximum of 0.20 (20%)
PSAR = PSARn+1 = PSARn + (AF * (EP - PSARn))
Exceptions : If PSARn+1 (the next PSAR) is within or beyond today's or yesterday's price range, PSARn+1 is set to the closest price. For example, in a long trend, PSARn+1 would be set to the closest low, and in a short trend, PSARn+1 would be set to the closest high.
Trading Use
As the Parabolic SAR is a trend following indicator, it is only designed to be used in confirmed trends, and will give very bad results in a small ranging or sideways market. Entries are signaled by the start of a new parabolic arc, and exits are signaled by the price touching the parabolic arc. As the price touching the parabolic arc, is also the reason for the start of a new parabolic arc, the exit from the current trade and the entry into a new trade occur at the same time (hence the name Parabolic Stop and Reverse). An alternative way of using the Parabolic SAR might be to indicate the direction of the current trend, and then make entries and exits based upon another indicator (such as a momentum indicator).

Ad extensions have been around in Google AdWords for a while now, but if our clients are any measure, most companies with existing AdWords campaigns have no idea they exist. That's unfortunate because ad extensions encourage your potential customers to click on your ad by accomplishing two goals:
- Ad extensions increase your ad size, the amount of information your ad contains, and generally turn it into an overall badass.
- Ad extensions include additional business information in the ad, such as your address, phone number, links to interior web pages, product information, etc, making your ad much more useful to potential customers.
- [Update] Since writing this Google has started using ad extensions in quality score calculations. Chances are, if you don't use ad extensions you'll be handicapping your campaigns.
Unfortunately, while ad extensions are well-known by AdWords "pros," most companies with existing campaigns have no idea they exist or how to implement them. If you're not using ad extensions, you're losing clicks to your competitors who are.
Why you should be using ad extensions
So let's have a quick look at what ad extensions for the uninitiated. I did a quick search for "dentist" and this is the first ad that showed up:
And here's the second ad:
Notice the difference? The first ad has an address and phone number with "Directions" link, as well as links to interior pages on the site. Overall it's much bigger, taking up just about double the space. Whether AdWords, print, TV, whatever, the "louder" you can make your ad the more likely it will grab someone's attention.
Now have a look at this ad:
In addition to a location, this ad includes a star rating from the company's Google+ page. Obviously ads #1 and #3 are significantly larger and more attention-grabbing than ad #2.
And the point of all this, of course, is higher click-through-rates lead to higher quality scores, which lead to lower costs per click.
To keep things simple, I'm just going to cover how to interpret statistics for sitelink, location, and call extensions, but this should give you enough information to interpret the other extensions' stats as well.
Why ad extension stats are confusing
I've found that the confusion arises from the expectation that, when on the Ad extensions tab, Google is showing stats for ad extensions…makes sense right? Well that's not exactly how it works. What actually happens is Google is showing overall stats for ads that were displayed with ad extensions…not just the stats for ad extensions themselves.
Interpreting Ad Extension Stats
By default, your location extension stats will look something like this (FYI we're not using AdWords for conversion tracking on this campaign):
These are not the stats for your location extension itself, rather, these are the cumulative stats for all of your ads that were shown with a location extension. This view does not segment clicks (or any other metric) on the "Directions" link vs clicks on the headline of the ad itself; that's were the confusion usually lies in part.
In order to break those stats down we need to segment them by click type. To do that, click the "Segment" dropdown and select "Click type."
Now you'll see something like this:
You can see we've added 3 rows of data.
- Headline – Stats for the ad headline
- Sitelink – Stats for the sitelinks shown with the ad. Important note: Since we're viewing stats for our location extension, the sitelink row is showing stats for sitelinks that were displayed along with our location extension.
- Get direction – Stats for the "Directions" link.
I mentioned something above that's really important so I'll say it again. Since we're viewing stats for our location extension in the image above, the sitelink row is showing stats ONLY for sitelinks that were displayed along with our location extension.
If you want to get stats for all sitelink impressions, whether they were shown along with a location, phone, etc extension, you'll need to click the "View" dropdown and select "Sitelinks Extensions." Then the Sitelink row will show stats for all sitelink impressions. This is an important distinction you should be aware of and it's why you'll see each rows' stats change when you change the extension view.
Learn by example
To drive this point home, let's illustrate this with an example from our Sitelinks extension for this campaign. Here are the stats, segmented by click type:
And here's what the numbered callouts mean:
- This is our overall CTR for all impressions of our ads that were shown along with our Sitelinks extension.
- This is the overall CTR for clicks on the headline of all ads that were shown along with our Sitelinks extension.
- This is the overall CTR for clicks on the Sitelinks themselves. In other words, this is the percentage of people who clicked on a Sitelink after seeing an ad with Sitelinks.
- This is the overall CTR for clicks on the "Directions" link of all ads that were shown along with our Sitelinks extension. Since the "Directions" link only shows up with a location extension, this can also be thought of as the CTR for clicks on the "Directions" link for ads that were shown with both Sitelinks and Location extensions together.
Call Extensions
Call extensions deserve some extra attention. When creating a call extension, Google asks if you want to use a "call forwarding number from Google to get enhanced reporting." If you select this option, the phone number shown with your ad will be a forwarding number rather than your actual phone number. The benefit of this is that Google provides a report that gives you a lot of insight into calls resulting from your ads. You can view the report shown below by clicking the "Dimensions" tab and selecting "Call details" in the view dropdown.
Now this report is cool…it shows you exactly when a call was made, how long it lasted, whether it was missed or connected, the caller's area code (blurred here), whether the call was manually dialed or click-to-call from a mobile phone, and the cost of the call. As you can see, Google deson't charge you for mobile clicks-to-call (those are billed as a normal click) or missed calls. It appears Google doesn't charge for shorter calls (short enough that they couldn't have been productive), however, I've seen manually dialed calls over 150 seconds not be billed so if anyone has any insight on that I'd love to hear it. Based on the numbers, I suspect the limit for billing is 30 seconds and any longer calls that aren't charged are deemed call fraud or something like that.
Ad extensions can dramatically improve your click-through rate and lead to lower costs per click and conversion, but it isn't immediately obvious how to read the stats correctly. Once you understand how to read the numbers, you can get a much clearer understanding of the performance of your ad extensions and act accordingly.

I write on the small changes that can yield enormous gains over time.
Knowing how much you should save for retirement is critical. But what if you are late getting started? The longer you delay, the shorter the time that compound interest can do its magic on your savings.
We typically recommend that you save 15% of your take-home pay each year. Money in the bank isn't compounding. Invest the money in an age-appropriate portfolio and rebalance regularly. Make sure your investments choices have low fees and expenses. Assuming you start at age 25, you should have sufficient assets to retire at age 65 after 40 years. Short-term market volatility should not deter long-term investing.
Retirement planning is like the pioneers who set forth on the Oregon Trail. The hardy souls who began their journey in early spring had to average 15 miles a day to reach their goal. But those who delayed until summer needed to maintain a faster pace. The same is true of saving for retirement.
Beginning at age 25 and retiring at 65, the appropriate savings rate is 15.4%. But starting just five years earlier, you could reach the same goal by saving just 11.1% each year. Starting early is more important than saving more.
If you start at age 20, you will have saved nearly an entire year's salary by the time the couple delaying is putting in their first 15%. In fact, the family starting earlier will be ahead of the family starting later all the way up until age 65. This is true even though they will be saving 5.3% less of their salary each year.
Deferred consumption is the definition of capital. When a family defers consuming and saves and invests instead, they put that capital to work. Having more money invested early means their investments are making money and adding to their savings, which reduces the amount they need to add. Money makes money.
Starting at age 15 is even better. For students who work summers and start saving, the safe lifetime savings rate is only 8.04%. Starting early is so beneficial that you can lower the rate you need to save each year. Thus every sage investor suggests beginning as young as possible.
Late April or early May was the best time of year to set begin the arduous trek to the West. If you waited too long, you would have to push farther each day or risk getting trapped in the mountains by an early snowstorm.
The same is true of retirement planning. The later you start in life, the higher the percentage of your lifestyle you must save. Starting at age 25 you should save 15.4% of your lifestyle each year to reach financial independence by age 65. For every year you delay, add about 1% in your 20s and 2% in your 30s.
Here's one of my favorite math problems: If a wagon train averages 10 miles a day for the first half of the Oregon Trail, how fast does it have to travel the second half to average 20 miles a day for the entire journey?
Most people wrongly answer 30 miles a day. But if the trail is 2,000 miles long, to average 20 miles a day you would have to travel the entire trail in 100 days. But if you averaged 10 miles a day traveling the first 1,000 miles, you would have already used up 100 days. You would then have to travel the second thousand miles instantly to overcome your slow start.
Starting at age 30, we suggest you save 21.4% each year. By age 35 it rises to 30.1%. And at age 40 it is 43.2%. Saving half your salary is difficult at any age. Lowering your standard of living to begin saving at age 40 is even more challenging.
By age 45 the percentage rises to 64.2%, and at age 50, you must save 100% of your lifestyle to reach retirement at age 65.
Your points are well taken. How do you reconcile them with college debt? Why start saving at age 15 when the college bursar will just take it away from you? How can one start saving in one's twenties with a big college loan to pay off? Your compounding arguments illustrate how educational debt will devastate our students' financial futures.
It is a very simple calculation.
The moment you think of retirement, just check for two things.
1. Your current annual expenses. This is the amount required by you to live comfortably in the current year. It is the amount you spend in one year to maintain your current standard of living which includes money required to pay for house rent, food, electricity, water, transport, clothing, insurance, taxes etc.
2. The number of years you plan to live. For example, if you are 40 years old and you plan to live till the age of 90, then you must take this figure as 50 years. Your current age does not matter. Only how many years you expect to live more matters.
Now multiply the two figures and you get the corpus fund required in your bank account as of today to retire.
For example, in India if a person's current annual expense is Rs. 12 Lakh. and if he plans to live for 50 more years from today, then the corpus fund required by him in his bank account today is Rs. 12 Lakh * 50 years = Rs. 6 Cr.
If he has Rs. 6 Cr in his bank account today, he can retire with immediate effect irrespective of his age. All his expenses including medical expenses incurred in old age can be taken care of with this money.
This calculation will work globally and can never go wrong irrespective of which currency you use. This is because the bank interest rate on fixed deposit will always be higher than inflation rate of any country at any point of time.
Here we are assuming that post retirement, the person would do the following.
a. Continue with same standard of living and not increase the expense unnecessary. For example after retirement if a person wants to buy a new house or a luxury car, pay for children's education or marriage or plan a vacation abroad, these expenses need to a accounted separately. The corpus fund should not be utilized for such expenses.
b. The corpus fund would be invested in a risk free fixed deposit of a reputed bank yielding a guaranteed minimum 7% quarterly interest. The money would not be invested in equity, debt, gold or any other quick money schemes involving a certain amount risk.
c. The retired person wants to utilize the entire corpus fund during his lifetime and does not intend to leave any inheritance for family members after his death.
d. The person does not survive beyond the expected number of years. In such a case the person would become bankrupt. It is always safer to assume that the person would live till the age of 90 years or more.

Nike U has used a similar format to most SEC schools who have looked for and found any and all "grey" areas to gain any advantage that could be exploited. As a DAWG fan the hardest thing I could ever type is..... I am jealous of Oregon for having found the way to prominence and dominance. Not for any cheating, but for having pushed the envelope just as the SEC and having the BALLS to stand up to the NCAA and say " Shove it". The Admin/Ad/Coaches have never backed down and won't. Don't believe what was bantered about on certain web sites which just changed there format...... there is NO sanctions coming. SO, it leads me to an idea.... ARMAGEDDON! WE must find the kinds of rules to push, the donors who won't back down and the AD department / Caoches who will raise the middle finger and state " We will also play by the SEC rules and you can shove it". OR orange slices for everyone and a beat down every year from the Yuck... that sucks, but it is reality.
