The Secrets to Successful Travel Bidding
How one couple never pays more than $100 per night at a hotel, even in major cities.
Tracy Antonioli and her husband are both teachers in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley area. They spent much of the summer road tripping from southeastern Pennsylvania up to Maine, never paying more than $100 per night for a hotel, even in major cities. Their secret weapon? The "Name Your Own Price" feature on Priceline.com.
Travel sites like Priceline and Hotwire offer affordable travel deals but there's a lot less transparency than other booking options, so you don't always know what you're getting. In anticipation of the holiday travel season, U.S. News talked to Antonioli and Anne Banas, executive editor at SmarterTravel.com, for tips on smart travel bidding.
[See 10 Ways to Improve Your Finances in 2011.]
Do your homework. Banas points out that you won't automatically get a better deal on Hotwire or Priceline. Check regular booking engines like Hotels.com, Travelocity.com, or Orbitz.com before you place a bid to see how much hotels in your destination are charging. Then bid 15 to 30 percent below that. To get a ballpark of what others are bidding, you could also consult forums like BetterBidding.com, where users share information on their successful bids.
With Hotwire (which is what Banas calls an "opaque site" rather than a bidding site), you can see the hotel's geographic area, icons for some of its amenities, and the price—but not the name—of the hotel. However, as Banas points out, that's sometimes enough detail to figure out which hotel it is using Google Maps. Then you can determine if you'd want to stay there at that price before entering your credit card information.
Set your geographic parameters carefully. These kinds of sites are most useful for bigger cities that have lots of major chain hotels. When traveling to a more rural or suburban area with mainly independent hotels or bed and breakfasts, your hotel options might be more limited. And if you want to be near the beach, bidding sites may not make sense for you either, because you can't limit your geographic criteria to the coastlines.
[See 12 Money Mistakes Almost Everybody Makes.]
Aside from that, Antonioli says she sticks to 3.5-star hotels in safe, centrally located areas. If it's a city she's not familiar with, she'll scope out the neighborhood on Google Maps or set her filter to 4-star hotels instead of 3.5. Based on her experience, "they don't put nice hotels in bad areas," so aiming for higher stars has meant not only a nice hotel but a nice neighborhood, often with attractions nearby.
Priceline and Hotwire also offer car rentals, which Banas says can offer savings compared to other sites. Geography is important when booking a car rental, because taking a taxi to some out-of-the-way rental location that offered a great deal can cancel out the potential savings. For convenience's sake, "a lot of people want it to be on the airport premises," adds Banas. Using the airport code can help locate car rental options in the vicinity.
Adjust your expectations. Although Antonioli says she's stayed at well-known hotels like the Marriott through Priceline, she notes that you don't get to filter based on amenities or other factors. If you're expecting a hotel with a gym or a cocktail lounge, you might be disappointed. "The last time we went to New York, we wound up in a place where people stay during the week for business," she says, "There was no lobby, no coffee station, and you checked in at a kiosk, which was a very different hotel experience."
On a trip to Washington, D.C., she stayed at a Renaissance Inn that was under construction. In hindsight, she adds, "that might be why they were offering rates really low." Antonioli tolerated the jackhammer noise in the lobby (or the lack of a lobby, in the other case) because it meant getting a good deal.
[See the 6 Best Money Tips for Young People.]
Time your search appropriately. With Priceline, you must wait 24 hours before rebidding higher on the same quality of hotel in the same neighborhood. Antonioli says she'll sometimes rebid the next day or adjust her geographic parameters so she can rebid on the spot. However, she says, "you have to be willing to let it go." There's a certain emotional attachment that can occur with bidding, so Antonioli tries not to get too invested. With spur-of-the-moment road trips, she says, "I have bid for things, not gotten the price I wanted, and just not gone."

For September's 30 days, I'll be "Blogging for a Cause". What's that you ask? Well, for each post I put up this month, I'll be donating $5 to the Mario Lemieux Foundation. With training camps just two weeks away and the start of the regular season just over a month from today, I'm thinking this will be a busy month and you'll be seeing lots of posts.
I'm currently working with the Mario Lemieux Foundation to have some sort of donation graphic to be placed along the right-hand side where, if you or anyone you know, would like to make a donation, you can do so and enter in "Going Five Hole", so come October 1, we'll be able to see the grand total raised.
I encourage my fellow bloggers to join in on this, whether you want to do the same for the Mario Lemieux Foundation or a different charity that's close to you. What better way to raise money for charity than to do what we enjoy, talking sports.
Here's some more information on the Mario Lemieux Foundation:
After a successful battle with Hodgkin's, Mario is now twelve years cancer free and his experience led him to focus on ways to assist those not so fortunate. He devotes much of his time to the Foundation raising funds to help reach the ultimate goal: a cure for cancer.
The main objective of the Mario Lemieux Foundation is to fund promising medical research projects being conducted by talented scientists. Among the donations made by the Foundation was a five million dollar gift to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to establish the Mario Lemieux Centers for Patient Care and Research in 2001 and a two million dollar gift to the Children's Home of Pittsburgh in 2005.
The Mario Lemieux Foundation has also established the Austin Lemieux Neonatal Research Project, in honor of Mario and Nathalie Lemieux's healthy son who was born prematurely. This grant supports research at Magee-Womens Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in their Division of Neonatology and Developmental Biology.
Additionally, the Lemieux Foundation supports other organizations such as the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the Leukemia Society, the Lupus Foundation and the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh."Thank you all for reading and I hope you can help further the cause here.
And, by the way, we just started the tally with this post here. So that's $5 to get things rolling.
Mario Lemieux Foundation total: $5

Go Ask Gab: Lingerie Tips
January 19, 2010 at 3:37 pm , by Gabrielle Porcaro
In lieu of a "new year, new me" philosophy, I decide to clean out the top drawer of my dresser (aka my underwear drawer) and reevaluated my bra collection. Here are some tips to freshen up your lingerie drawer:
*Get measured for a bra at least once a year.
* Your bra shouldn't ride up in the back. It should be level across the bodice from back to front.
* Your bra should feel (and look!) good.
* Your cups should not runneth over! That means everything should fit into the bra: When you try it on, lean over and jump up and down to make sure everything stays put.
* Here are the number of bras you need:
- 3 to 5 everyday bras that you can wear under anything (one should be nude)
- A strapless bra for formal occasions
- A convertible bra
- A demi bra
- A push-up bra or a minimizer (depending on your size)
- A sports bra
- A special occasion bra (aka something sexy!)
* Here are some cleaning tips: Never put your bra in the dryer, use lingerie wash (my faves are Forever New, Soak, and Tocca), and try to wash your bras every 3 wears.
* My fave bra brands are Fayreform, Soma, and Wacoal.
* My go-to lingerie websites are Bare Necessities, Figleaves, and Victoria's Secret
* My favorite bricks-and-morter store is Intimacy (but you can check out their website for other great tips, too).

Areas of integration and consensus are discussed, as are key questions and controversies still facing the field.

All music has a pulse.
We usually call it the beat, and it is what keeps a piece of music moving along and allows musicians to play together.
When you tap your foot or dance while listening to a song, you are reacting to the beat.
Sometimes it is easy to hear (dance music) but sometimes it isn't as obvious (some classical music).
Feeling the beat is easy however. Consider this popular children's song. Just follow the bouncing ball.
The Beat
The Tempo
The tempo refers to the speed at which a piece of music is played.
It is measured in Beats Per Minute (BPM). The higher the BPM, the more notes need to be fit into a minute, the faster the music.
Typically, pop and rock music maintain a steady tempo throughout a song, while classical music tempos shift for dramatic effect.
Rubato is a rhythmic technique of speeding up and slowing down the tempo of a song to add expressiveness used by solo instrumentalists.
There are old Italian terms that can be used to indicate tempo. They are typically used in classical music.
While each covers an approximate tempo range, they are mainly used to convey a general 'feel', and are less precise than a strict BPM tempo measurement.
There are so many of them, that they can be hard to remember. Here are a few of the more common tempo names:
A study conducted on top 40 pop songs from the last thirty years determined that the optimum tempo for a "hit" is around 120 bpm.

— JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who became South Africa's first black president, has been admitted to a hospital with a recurring lung infection, the presidential spokesman said Thursday.
Mandela, 94, has become increasingly frail in recent years and has been hospitalized several times since last year, most recently earlier this month when he underwent what authorities said was a scheduled medical test. The Nobel laureate is a revered figure in South Africa, which has honored his legacy of reconciliation by naming buildings and other places after him and printing his image on national banknotes.
"I'm so sorry. I'm sad," said Obed Mokwana, a Johannesburg resident. "I just try to pray all the time. He must come very strong again."
The Nobel laureate was admitted to a hospital just before midnight Wednesday "due to the recurrence of his lung infection," the office of President Jacob Zuma said in a statement.
"Doctors are attending to him, ensuring that he has the best possible expert medical treatment and comfort," the statement said. It appealed "for understanding and privacy in order to allow space to the doctors to do their work."
Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said Mandela was in a hospital in the South African capital of Pretoria, but he did not specify which one.
In December, Mandela spent three weeks in a hospital in Pretoria, where he was treated for a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones.
Maharaj acknowledged there was cause for worry, but said the medical specialists treating Mandela were very competent.
"The health has been OK given his age, but the downturn last night — obviously when the lung infection recurs, the doctors will want to do everything possible and make sure that they don't allow the infection to spread, that they arrest it as quickly as possible," Maharaj said in an interview with eNCA, a South African news channel.

I cover vice.
Sometimes it's hard to say if it's you or your boss.
One thing's for sure: Your boss can't stand you.
1. You're full of it.
When you got hired, you committed the ultimate crime. You oversold, and now you're underdelivering. Being able to talk a good game is great, but if you're going to swear up and down that you can swim with the sharks, you better not act like a screaming, flailing drowning person when you find yourself in the deep end.
Because you can't execute, because you misrepresented yourself, because you don't have the drive, the ability, or the brains to figure how to do it once you're in it, your boss is biding his time until the day he can't wait for: getting rid of you.
2. You're not a self-starter.
Here's what you don't understand: Your boss is not here to hold your hand. Your boss is not here to micromanage you, to tell you what to do every day, to make your decisions for you. You're supposed to be able to do this job aut-on-omous-ly. But you can't. You couldn't pull the trigger on anything if your life depended on it, you sit behind your desk like you're waiting for orders, and the idea of walking into your boss's office with a creative solution to a business problem never crossed your mind.
You're this company's albatross. You're the extra weight in the trunk that works against forward motion. You don't get that being an employee means being a team player, and to be on the team, you have to get off the bench and play.
3. You're a mercenary.
You're great. You're a genius. You bring the money, the clients, the solutions. But everyone else acts like you're a wolf with rabies — because that's what you act like. Staying behind your office's closed door, refusing to interact with anyone else like they're human beings, incapable of imparting any of what you know to anyone else, you fail your peers beside and those below you, and, in doing so, you leave it up to your boss to bear the load of leadership alone.
Too bad you just don't get it. If only you'd learn it isn't all about you, your boss might give you that raise, that promotion, that responsibility you're so sure you deserve. Unfortunately, that ceiling your head keeps hitting was made by you.
Good comments.
Bosses (even though we tend to forget this), are human too. They have a set of problems that they are responsible for solving. A corollary is that their jobs are on the line (the turnover of CEO/COO's is extraordinarily high – there is little job security at that level).
If an important part of the team isn't pulling his weight, the boss has to find a solution elsewhere (and he will resent the person who put him on the spot).
Almost 30 years ago, I had a boss who was approachable; I mistook that generosity for indulgence and approached him repeatedly for help in doing my job.
Finally he said (and it still stings after all these years): "If I have to do your job, what do I need you for?".
Lesson. It is up to us to find a way to demonstrate our value to the organization (personified by our boss). And we have to prove and reprove that value every day.
I comment frequently on the need for paranoia in the workplace; your boss will look for a target is he is disappointed; your peers are trying to outdo you (and it is a race with few winners and many losers); and your subordinates resent you for driving and judging them.
Take a hard look at your performance and decide what you should be doing better.
Years ago, I heard Gary Wendt (then of GE Capital) say: "If you are failing at your job, figure out what your successor will do, and then do it before he is given the opportunity".
I had a mostly terrible, power-crazed boss who did teach me one really valuable thing (besides, don't work for one of those). She said "Don't come to me with a problem, come to me with your solution." Okay, on one level she's shirking the responsibility of actually paying attention for herself and acting to fix things before they go bad. But on another, it's a great way to use your boss to get what will work– bring them the answer that will fix it and either they'll do it, or they won't do it for a reason which you accept, or they won't do it because they're worthless, but any of those ways, you either get what you want or learn something about your boss. All of which is worth more than what you get from just complaining, which is your boss's irritation with you.
*I*'m a mercenary?
I've been through numerous rounds of outsourcing and offshoring in the last 15 years.
Dear American Boss: Bite me.
I'm a cabinetmaker, working for a trade show display company. The summer and fall is our "slow time." Last year, instead of pushing a broom (it was my first summer with this company) I decided to start building things that would make my department/shop easier to work in. You literally can't walk into a room without seeing something that I've done or built to either organize or make operations smoother. Despite that, the "other guy" who has been there a year longer, gets the promotion and a hefty raise…despite the fact that he has literally done nothing during the 2 slow seasons he's been with the company.
If you to dispirit a department, promote the wrong people…
Speaking as someone who has been a boss – the reason we ask for solutions, not just problems is two-fold:
1. you're closer to the problem than we are, and you might have some insights that we don't have.
2. It show that you are smart and resourceful.
It doesn't mean that your proposed solution is right – I may know things that you don't. But it also doesn't mean I'm making you do my work for me. I'm making you show me that you're capable of doing some of my work, so I can (theoretically) delegate more responsibility/authority to you.
I heard once that our culture of information-on-demand isn't conducive to great work. Or in this case, even satisfactory work. Maybe I should apply for a writing job with Forbes. It's obviously easy to get in.
The modern use of the 2nd-person narrative is really annoying, you know? Very accusatory, difficult to read and uncomfortable to hear.
Great message, but its import was lost in the delivery. Thanks for dumbing it down for us, Forbes. A new low.
An EXCELLENT article…
EVERY boss's dream, an employee who can do it all…Close the deal, solve the internal problem, ditches their family for the "career", works late just to be a "team player". Oh, I forgot to mention, "loved by all, and will work for substandard wages.
BUT…and this is the important part, not quite intelligent enough to understand that they don't NEED the boss as much as the boss needs them. Who is the real benefactor in today's American business model? Um, let's think on this…not the employee.
If you are capable of "doing it all", and can just walk in and do the "job" without any mentoring, direction, guidance etc. you are "overqualified". Simply, stated this means you know too much. Typically about the business model, profit margins, distribution etc., you ARE a threat.
As you excel at your chosen field you will find you will hear the "overqualified" rhetoric more often. This simply means it is time to take the next step, jump out of the nest, and go out on your own. It's time to take the money out of your former employers pocket as opposed to humping your butt trying to put it in. Believe me, if you can do it for your former employer for a very small piece of the end result you can easily do it on your own.
I love narcissistic employers; and most of them are, it is "all about them". Fortunately, they are the easiest to take down. And this dear people of America is why capitalism is such a powerful tool. If you have the gumption and the brains you can unemploy your former employer.

Flow Modeling Helps Prove Hurricane Damage Caused by Wind, Not Water
A steel storage building located on a canal between downtown New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain was damaged during Hurricane Katrina. The insurance company asserted that the damage, in which the walls were pushed outward in two areas, was water-related. Since insurance covered only wind damage, the claim was denied. TRC, representing the owners of the storage building, undertook a modeling study to investigate whether the strong winds could explain the damage.

What a wealth of choices! We remember the days when the only places to eat after 10 p.m. were Denny's and Waffle House. Next time you're out late with friends, check out OKC's abundance of local late-night eatery options.

We know. It's hot. It's summer in Oklahoma. Cool down by sampling cocktails that local bars and restaurants have concocted just for you. Find a nice, air conditioned space or a shaded patio and while away the hours drinking the flavors of summer. You might decide it's not that bad after all.

There are a wealth of new local eateries cropping up in the metro and even more coming. If they're not on your radar, they should be. From the comfy atmosphere at The Barrel on Western Avenue to the laid-back vibe at the Plaza District's coffee shop, you might find a new regular hangout.

As a veteran restaurant reviewer, the first question I usually get asked by a new acquaintance is, "OK, so where's the best restaurant around here?"
I usually answer, "In what category?" Steakhouses, barbecue, Mediterranean, Italian, Indian, French, Mexican, Cajun, German, Greek, Asian and on and on. They look at me and sigh. Believe me, I've tried them all.
Could Zen Asian Dining be the top spot for Asian food in Edmond? It is darn near.
Husband-and-wife team Lesly and Jamil Tran own and operate Zen. Chef Jamil's sister, Kathy Tien, is a co-owner at Grand House China Bistro, known for its trendy weekend dim sum in Oklahoma City. They have been in the hospitality business for more than a quarter of a century.
Zen's chefs are influenced by the best of specialties from Vietnam, China, Thailand and Japan. Although the restaurant is off the main street and tucked into a strip mall called the Edmond Exchange Building, people have no problem finding it and like to order the General chicken with egg roll, fried wonton, soup and rice ($6.25) for lunch. Mongolian beef with a sweet and spicy light soy sauce ($8.25), the pan-seared tilapia filet with basil sauce ($12.95) and salt-and-pepper calamari ($6.50) from the appetizer list are other favorites.
Among its best choices on the menu are duck, pho noodles and salads, plus good smoothies and chrysanthemum or raspberry teas.
After downtown Edmond's annual LibertyFest parade, I headed over to Zen with many other paradegoers. I wanted to try the pad Thai, which I did not get to taste during many previous visits to Zen since it opened in 2006.
The combination pad Thai ($6.95) was listed on the lunch special, available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It was a Thai stir-fried rice noodle dish with a good portion of large shrimp, chunks of chicken, sliced onions, red bell pepper, smaller hot peppers, egg and squares of fried tofu, all with decisive flavors of spice. Those who fear spiciness should have no problem here, as it tasted light and clean, with the chicken chunks almost a pristine white along with refreshing mint sprigs.
On another visit with a dining companion, it was the final day of the U.S. Open at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md. Since my good friend had at one time belonged to the club, we considered carryout so we could catch the golf championship at home. But after a mention to our server, he graciously turned the channel from the baseball game to the golf match. Chef Tran, a golfer himself, came out to watch the final shots with us.
Dining on fine food right through the final moments, we began with mini Peking duck ($12.95) and frankly, there was nothing "mini" about it. The duck was tasty and tender, presented with buns and a sweet and spicy hoisin sauce. We followed it with well-prepared pork and black mushroom spring rolls ($4.95), a shrimp oriental salad ($7.50) and a cold cucumber salad ($3.95), which was so simple with soy sauce and sesame oil dressing — brilliant.
For our main courses, we let things kick off with fish and ordered the pleasing tilapia filet with black bean sauce ($12.95), plus a delicious Thai curry with chunks of salmon, scallops and shrimp ($17.95), all sparkling fresh. No shoe leather here.
For dessert, a shared piece of lemon smooth cake ($3.50) was outstanding.
Lesly Tran mentioned later that "zen" means "truth."
"What you get at Zen is true, authentic Asian food," she said.
Oklahoma Gazette's restaurant review policy is to highlight the positive aspects, and include constructive criticism regarding food, ambience or service when appropriate.

Boise State improved to 8-0 with an 80-52 win over Carroll on Thursday. Seniors Jeff Elorriaga and Thomas Bropleh had 18 points apiece, while senior Ryan Watkins had 12 points and 14 rebounds. The Broncos will play next at No. 3 Kentucky on Tuesday at 7 p.m. on ESPN.
"Out of all my years of coaching, I think it's got to be the most athletic top to bottom team I've ever coached against," Boise State coach Leon Rice said of the Wildcats.
At the half, Boise State led Carroll 39-24. Elorriaga had five 3-pointers to lead the Broncos with 15 points, while Bropleh had 10 points.
Boise State's Anthony Drmic, the Broncos' top scorer, did not suit up. He is out sick it is only the second game the junior has missed in his career.

AUSTIN — Two years ago, promises to slash government spending swept Marva Beck into the Texas House. Now, the rancher from pine woods country admits that the Legislature's vote to cut $5.4 billion in state funding for schools could send her back home.
"When it comes to the school situation, it's, 'Where are you going to get the extra money the school districts want?' " said Beck, a Republican from Centerville in East Texas. "And it's a whole lot harder than what people assume it is to try and make those decisions."
Deep cuts in school funding approved by the Texas Legislature last summer could energize angry parents in a way similar to how the Tea Party movement mobilized conservatives in 2010. In the 150-seat state House alone, at least 29 candidates who are current or former school board members, or have other education experience, are challenging incumbents or vying for open seats in the May 29 primary. Seventeen are Republicans and 12 are Democrats — and most are pledging to fix Texas' broken school finance system and dial back the importance of high-stakes standardized tests.
A possible education backlash has Beck nervous and another incumbent, West Texas Republican Rep. Sid Miller, facing a primary challenge that could be tougher than expected. Among several candidates vying for an open seat in suburban Dallas, meanwhile, is Bennett Ratliff, scion of a well-known Texas political family who says his education background sets him apart from a crowded field.
"Funding is not the whole issue, but you can't continue to cut, and continue to cut, and continue to cut. At some point it does become about funding," said Ratliff, a Republican and nine-year veteran of the school board in Coppell, northwest of Dallas.
His father is former Lt. Gov. Bill Ratliff and his brother Thomas is on the state Board of Education.
Under pressure from fiscal conservatives not to raise taxes amid a $27 billion budget shortfall to start 2011, Texas lawmakers cut $4 billion in education funding and another $1.4 billion in grant programs — reducing per pupil spending by more than $500.
"You've got people that are in education that say the cuts went too far. You've got people outside education that say, 'Don't raise my property taxes,' " said Beck, who voted in favor of the school finance law authorizing the cuts, which passed the House 80-57. "You can't just listen to one side of it."
Republican Trent Ashby is president of the school board in the East Texas city of Lufkin and is highlighting his education experience in challenging Beck. Ashby said he's "not out there saying we need to throw a bunch of new money at public education in Texas." But he said the state needs to ensure all school districts get equitable funding, especially those in rural areas.
Carolyn Boyle heads the Texas Parent Political Action Committee, which in 2006 supported at least 10 candidates who unseated incumbents or captured open seats. This year, the PAC has conducted more than 25 interviews with pro-education candidates and will endorse an equal number of Republicans and Democrats.
"This could be a game-changer election," Boyle said. "There are so many candidates with rich education experience."

Celebrities gathered in Pacific Palisades Sunday to support Children Mending Hearts, a nonprofit organization that works to provide educational and arts programs for disadvantaged kids.
The Children Mending Hearts 4th Annual Spring Benefit was reportedly held at a private residence in the Palisades.
Stars like Patricia Heaton, Ben Affleck and Tobey Maguire were present to support the cause. Surfer Bethany Hamilton was also honored at the event. Hamilton inspired many after she lost her left arm during a shark attack in 2003, but remained extremely positive, according to her website.
Children Mending Hearts was founded in 2008 and, according to its website, aims to support arts programs for needy children worldwide. The organization also works to empower kids to impact other children's lives in a positive way ... building empathy and, as the website states, global citizenry.

Nov. 21, 2012 — Head Coach Sean Woods and the Eagles are flying high right now, winning three of its first four games in 2012.
A trip down memory lane is in store for the former UK star, as he sets to make his return to Rupp Arena where he became known as one of the "unforgettables."
Literally speaking, there isn't a lot riding on this game for either team. On any other year, this would be just another matchup in what has come to be a common occurrence for the Eagles to make the trip down I-64 to Lexington.
But this isn't any other year. This is a year of new beginnings for the Morehead State men's basketball program, and with the former UK star at its helm, the contest certainly becomes a bit more interesting.
Now sporting Eagle blue as opposed to Wildcat blue, this game is most likely an emotional battleground for Woods.
The number-two recruiting class in the nation is the challenge that awaits the Eagles; something Kentucky coach John Calipari has made a trend of during his time on the bench in Lexington.
The Cats have also made a habit of sending its top freshman on to the next level after one year, as the defending national champions reload in 2012 with another new lineup of premiere recruits in Nerlens Noel, Archie Goodwin and others.
Facing the No. 8 team in the nation, what does this game truly mean for Woods and the Eagles? It's a game of pride.
MSU has put up some big numbers in its first three games, including 101 points and five double-digit scorers against Alice Lloyd just last week. Those big numbers will truly be put to the test tomorrow night, and if the Eagles can hold their own against Cal's Cats, then we can assume Woods' hopes of becoming 'the Gonzaga of the Southeast' can get a head start early in his career.

'Sickening' care home images highlighted by Gwent MP
10:40am Friday 15th March 2013 in News By David Deans - Politics reporter
A PROBE into neglect and fraud at Gwent care homes found an anti-psychotic drug in the hair of three victims, it was claimed.
Paul Flynn, Labour MP for Newport West, made the comments in a Parliamentary debate called by Blaenau Gwent MP Nick Smith on Operation Jasmine, an investigation into Gwent care homes.
Mr Smith himself said he had seen graphic pictures of victims' injuries.
Despite a seven-year operation costing £11.6 million, Dr Prana Das, 66, will never stand trial for a string of charges relating to neglect and fraud at Puretruce Health Care.
A court heard earlier this month that Dr Das suffered a "savage beating" which left him brain damaged. His coaccused, Paul Black, will also not stand trial.
Dr Das was a director at Puretruce Health Care Limited.
Six care homes in Newbridge, Bargoed, Blaenavon, Caerphilly, Abertillery and Ebbw Vale were investigated. Mr Flynn told the Commons: "Is my honourable friend concerned that in Operation Jasmine, chlopromazine was found in the hair of three of the victims?
"It is an anti-psychotic neuroleptic drug that is meant to be used on the deeply psychotic.
The misuse and overuse of drugs to turn patients into zombies and make the home cheaper to run is a significant feature of this disgraceful affair."
Mr Smith, in reply, said evidence collected by the police must be brought to the public's attention.
He said pictures he had seen from Operation Jasmine were terrible: "I was shown graphic photos of pressure sores that proved fatal, and of sores that were so infected that the bone beneath was visible.
"They were sickening, and in the words of one expert, the worst they have ever seen."
Torfaen MP Paul Murphy asked whether the Welsh Government could hold an inquiry once judicial proceedings are complete.
Mark Harper, minister for immigration, said he would raise Mr Smith's call for the director of public prosecutions and the Crown Proseuction Service to meet families of those involved with the attorney general.
Operation Jasmine began in October 2005 after a patient at a nursing home in Newbridge was admitted to Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital after being given incorrect doses of medication.
She died on October 27.

Newport Beach
From OpenwaterpediaWedge and several open water swimming competitions including the Big Richard, Piers and Beers, Newport Pier-to-Pier Swim, and the Don Burns 1-mile Scholarship Swim.
The Wedge
The Wedge is a world-famous surfing, body boarding and body surfing spot located at the extreme east end of the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. During a south swell of the right size and direction, the Wedge can produce huge waves up to 30 feet (9.1 m) high. It is the start of the Big Richard, the longest beach run + ocean swim in the United States.
The waves are a by-product of improvements to the groin (rock jetty) on the west side of the Newport Harbor entrance undertaken during the 1930s. When conditions are right, and a wave approaches the shore at the proper angle (most generally a south swell), an approaching wave will reflect off the jetty creating a second wave. The reflected wave meets up with the following wave of the set and forms a peak, and this pattern can repeat for several following waves as well. The combined effect of the reflected wave and the incoming wave creates a combined wave much larger than either of the two separate waves and occurs very rapidly and forms waves in a very unpredictable and "unstable" pattern, so that no two waves are alike and the exact breaking point is difficult to predict even for an experienced surfer.
Although this condition primarily occurs with large, south swells, it can also occur, with considerably lesser frequency, during "normal" conditions.
In addition, the beach at The Wedge is very steeply shaped sand, resulting in what is known as shore break (see below) and a very strong backwash which often drags people back into the surf. The backwash itself frequently creates another, outgoing wave, which can hit an incoming wave or surfer with enormous force. With the combined effect of the unpredictability of where the incoming waves will break, and the strength of the backwash, the resulting wave action can be highly unpredictable and therefore both exciting as well as very dangerous. Of course, it is this combination of danger which draws so many to surf The Wedge. Inexperienced swimmers or surfers should always use caution when considering swimming in the surf near The Wedge.
The Wedge really breaks largest when intense Southern Hemisphere storms or large tropical depressions, and hurricanes send their energy from the proper SSW direction, primarily during the summer & fall months.

Too bad you weren't released last year, "Star Trek," because the Best Picture Oscar is going to be twice as hard to win at the 2009 Academy Awards ceremony. From now on, 10 movies will be nominated for the Academy's top nod. Why? So that any type of film—be it a drama, a comedy, a documentary, or a cartoon—has a better chance of being recognized for its greatness. This is something of a return to old Hollywood—from 1931 to 1943, anywhere from 8 to 12 movies battled it out for the statue. Keep reading »

Isaiah 26:3
The key element in true, lasting peace is the presence of God. Isaiah says to God, "The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You" (26:3). Christ is our peace—His presence is the presence of peace within us (Eph. 2:14). And so Jesus declares, "In Me you may have peace" (John 16:33).
What is this peace? It is an inner sense of contentment and quietness, regardless of life's circumstances. It is steadfast confidence in our ever-faithful, immutable heavenly Father. It is the presence of joy in the midst of unhappiness.
True peace does not merely dull our pain. A person who has genuine, godly peace can endure an avalanche of hardship and difficulty and still enjoy an inner peace that surpasses all human understanding. Why? Because it does not come from pleasant circumstances, nice events, or good things others may do for us. Instead, it is based on the fact that the Spirit of our holy, omnipotent, and never- changing God lives within us.
Does enjoying God's perfect peace mean that you'll never feel the effects of the storms raging around you? Hardly. But His peace is complete, adequate, and sufficient for anything you face. Keep in mind three keys to experiencing sustained peace:
• Focus on God. Perfect peace comes when you fix your mind on God. You must discipline yourself to meditate on God's presence and work. When you spend time concentrating on a problem, does it not seem to grow bigger? In the same way, you will have a greater sense of God's presence and provision as you fix your mind on Him.
• Trust Him. You never have to worry about God acting too late or providing insufficient help. His timing and purposes are perfect; in fact, He uses your tribulations to reveal more of Himself to you. His Word is full of rock- solid promises, many of which involve granting you peace. Know that He will always honor them!
• Meditate on His Word. Psalm 119:165 emphasizes that those who love God's Word have great peace. Your most precious material possession is your Bible. Every believer should love God's Word and feast on it daily. If you love it, you're going to believe what it says— and then it will guide and anchor your life.

About The Center for Wine Origins
The Center for Wine Origins was established in 2005 to promote the importance of location and better protect geographic names in the U.S. market. The Center is headquartered in Washington, DC and is involved in a wide array of activities aimed at educating consumers, policymakers and the media about the importance of wine origins and providing better resources for consumers to make informed choices. The wine-making regions involved in the campaign are regulated by the European System of Appellations, designed to ensure authenticity and quality for consumers.
Center for Wine Origins Celebrates the Addition of Four New Ambassadors to National Program
(Washington, D.C.) – In a continued effort to educate American consumers on the importance of wine name protection, the Center for Wine Origins is pleased to announce the addition of four members to its Ambassador Program. Established in June 2010, the Ambassador Program spans across ten US cities and boasts some of the leading sommeliers, beverage directors, wine experts and consultants in the industry. Our newest ambassadors have already begun planning and executing media and consumer focused events to educate individuals about the Champagne region and the Douro Valley, two unique wine regions which are often misrepresented here in the United States.
"Our ambassadors have become an important part to the success of our U.S. campaign," remarked Sam Heitner, Director of the Center for Wine Origins. "We are excited about the diverse range of talent and interests our new ambassadors bring to the team. Our ambassadors have been extremely successful in educating U.S. consumers about the importance of protecting wine name place names."
Joining existing Ambassadors Robert Smith (Las Vegas), Bonnie Graves (Southern California), Alicia Towns Franken (Boston) and Christie Default (San Diego) are:
- Brian Freedman (Philadelphia) Food and wine writer, wine educator and food and wine consultant in Philadelphia. He is a contributing writer for John Mariani's Virtual Gourmet, Philadelphia Where magazine, Affluent magazine, Sommelier India, and wine specialist and resident blogger at www.UncorkLife.com and for Wine Chateau, one of the largest online wine retailers in the world.
- Suzanne McGrath (Washington D.C.) Proprietor of the Curious Grape, a specialty food and wine shop located in Arlington, VA. Suzanne has held countless wine seminars and tastings which are lauded by Washingtonian magazine and The Washington Post.
- May Matta-Aliah (New York) Wine educator, and President of In the Grape, an organization dedicated to making wine and spirits education accessible to everyone from the curious appreciator to the wine trade professional.
- Lyn Farmer (South Florida) Widely published and James Beard Foundation Award-winning writer on wine and food. As Senior Editor of The Wine News magazine Lyn writes extensively on the world's major wine regions with a special emphasis on Champagne and Port.
The Ambassadors will continue to host programs in their cities to educate consumers, restaurateurs and retailers about the importance of location and correctly recognizing wines from designated regions. They will host wine seminars and dinners at restaurants, conduct tastings at retail stores and hold comparative Port and Champagne tastings sponsored by the Center for Wine Origins.

2009 Vintage Port: A Tale of Two Shippers – The Wall Street Journal
The English have always appreciated the charms of vintage port. As I wrote in February it was two young wine merchants from Liverpool who accidentally discovered a beverage high in alcohol and sweetness while exporting wines from the northern Portuguese city of Lamego.
Like fine red Bordeaux or vintage Champagne, these are hand-made wines, crafted on the steep-sided slopes of the Douro, that in terms of longevity are unrivalled. Given their quality and the resources that go into making them they are not prohibitively expensive either.

Yes, I was thinking about cherry-picking a few MFD patches, but decided not to as the driver is quite big and completely new, so it would have some glitches anyway, and thus would need fixups. One less, one more. But for such drivers I usually give my 'Acked-by' so that patches could be merged via single tree (i.e. mfd). But nobody asked me in this case.

Girlfriend's Facebook tribute to Nelson ex-soldier killed on quad bike (From This Is Lancashire)
Girlfriend's Facebook tribute to Nelson ex-soldier killed on quad bike
Updated 10:17am Monday 10th February 2014 in News
THE family of a Nelson man killed in Australia have said they are no closer to discovering when his body will be returned to the UK.
Ex-soldier Scott Thompson, 27, died when a quad bike he was riding was hit by a truck in Bungador, Victoria, on Tuesday.
His girlfriend, Sami Allott, and travelling pal Ryan Monk formally identified his body on Thursday.
Mr Thompson's mum, Lynne, said: "Hopefully it will be this week we can bring him home and then we can start preparing for his funeral. We have still only had one message from the Foreign Office so we're relying on Sami and Ryan to keep us up to date.
"Ryan lives out there permanently but they are both planning to come back with Scott."
Miss Allott, who had been dating Mr Thompson since 2011, posted a message on Facebook after she had identified his body.
She said: "I've been to see my beautiful boy and he is at peace with the angels. I gave him a goodnight kiss but hoped he'd sneakily wake up.
"I can't thank everyone enough for their kind words! He really was one in a million and I have never and will never meet anyone so perfect as him.
"I would not have got through this without Ryan Monk. He's been my rock and Scott will be so proud of him.
"Just rest assured he had the best last months of his life before it was cruelly taken."
Mr Thompson, of Sansbury Crescent, Nelson, served in the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment from 2010 to 2013.
A statement from the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment Association said: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Kingsman Scott Thompson."

The author didn't even put his name to the article, so I found out who he was and rang him. Well I shouldn't be amazed how patronising the report was when I rang him to challenge his morals.
So to the author and the editor follow your trawling process and find my comments on my Facebook page.
My name is Tony Allott dad of Sami Allott

People hate to wait. No industry feels this more than the food service industry in which restaurant profit margins depend on the patience of hungry patrons. Unfortunately, it's hard to control or predict what people will do when they hear, "It'll be an hour wait for a table." Parties must chose: flee to a less popular joint or bite the bullet and try to distract themselves from their rumbling stomachs. The method of distraction is critical to keeping frustrations low. So what do people do to…Continue

To those willing to work hard and long hours, jobs go begging! No free lunch. We always are seeking dedicated employees to muck our stables at minimum wage.
Support The Fed and the G30!
It is unlikely that we will see a significant jump in job growth until employers have a feel for Washington's intentions and agenda; specifically with regard to tax and budget policy. Employers don't want to hire and train employees or expand just to have to cut back should they find next year's policies not supportive of their business plans.
As things stand, America needs clear and concise tax codes rather than the 4000+ pages of confusion that we attempt to adhere to. America currently spends billions of dollars and countless man hours on tax-compliance annually.
To those willing to not work any hours at and have crime connections jobs at the fed go begging! Always a free lunch there. We always are seeking employees to muck over the taxpayers and leave them destitute
This is a totally meaningless chart. Competition for open jobs is not simply from the unemployed but from everyone in the workforce. All this does, in reality, is measure the growth in job openings which is a positive trend, offset by a very slow rate of filling open jobs.
It's more like a couple of hundred people competing for each job opening. Getting an interview is still very, very, difficult because of broken hiring practices.
Analysis less job openings
As a college student I am pleased to hear this news. The amount of job openings in the recent years has been troubling. If students continued to go to school, graduate, and proceed to be unable to find a job our economy would be in dire trouble.

Chris Christie Fundraising in Louisiana with Bobby Jindal
Chris Christie will not let a good spotlight go to waste. He's using his time in the sun to help raise funds for Louisiana's favorite Big Bang Theory cast-member Bobby Jindal. There's so much coverage of the Louisiana fundraising events, everyone must be really pumped for Bobby Jindal's reelection…
Just kidding! What everyone wants to know is will Chris Christie run for President or will he continue not-not running for President?
"If you're looking for leadership in America, you know you're not going to find it in the Oval Office," Christie said. "You're finding leadership in America in the statehouses — with 29 Republican governors — in the statehouses across America." He continued, "We're the ones who are making the difference. We're the ones who are telling you the truth."
Them's presidentin' words. So either Chris Christie is just waiting for the peak of excitement to announce his candidacy or he is playing a long con, stringing the media along to help get him reelected as New Jersey Governor (which is like robbing a bank to steal all the chain counter pens).
Remember when Lost was on the air and people online would speculate endlessly over every little detail? Chris Christie is the new Lost (he too will disappoint all his fans).
MSNBC asks "Chris Christie a fundraising genius?" It's depressing to think that a respected politician would treat the nation's search for a leader as a game. But what's even more depressing is the opposite…
"We now have people across this country," Christie said, "who are trying to tell us that the only way life can get better for folks — especially folks now who are struggling and suffering through this difficult economy — is to take things away from people who have been successful and redistribute them to those who are hurting. That's not the America I believe in."
Yeah! America isn't about helping people! Boo, helping people! This guy that hates helping people should lead us into a bright new future where we help no one!

Hugh Johnson, Jancis Robinson release new 'World Atlas of Wine'
- Friday 5 October 2007
The release, scheduled for October 11, was celebrated in the sumptuous new food and wine hall of Fortnum's - London's most celebrated grocer, a few doors up from the Ritz Hotel in Piccadilly.
First published in 1971, and originally written by Johnson alone, the Wine Atlas is now in its sixth edition, and remains one the most popular books on wine.
'Jancis is Merlot to Hugh's Cabernet,' said publisher David Lam on the collaboration. Both periodically contribute to Decanter magazine.
The new edition – priced at £35 ($50.00), as was the fifth edition, published in 2001 – represents a significant update of the previous one, with 48 new pages and 20 new maps. Entries on Spain and Portugal have been considerably revised, with extended explorations of Australia and the US.

February 1, 2005
Albany- Prosecutors want the case of five teens moved up to Superior Court. The teens were arrested during a raid of 15 homes of suspected C.M.E.
Rattlers gang members last Thursday. During the raid officers confiscated drugs, guns, and stolen electronics.
"I'm going to take a very tough approach on these gangs and we're going to do everything we can to ensure that these kids get the maximum penalties including taking juveniles up to superior court. We're going to put an end to the gangs here in Dougherty County," says Tommy Coleman.
District attorney Ken Hodges says the hearing to see if the teens cases will be moved to superior court will be held February 15th.
