Susan Adams, Forbes Staff
I cover careers, jobs and every aspect of leadership.
Grammar has been getting attention in the media lately, and for good reason.
The Wall Street Journal started the discussion last month with a piece about the growing number of grammar gaffes in the office, especially among younger employees. Examples: "There's new people you should meet," instead of "there are new people you should meet," and "he expected Helen and I to help him," instead of "he expected Helen and me." The piece quoted managers and bosses who were fed up with younger employees who bring the vernacular of emails, Twitter messages and casual conversations into the office, including the ubiquitous use of the word "like" and those who say, "I could care less," when they mean "I couldn't care less." The piece mentioned a survey of 430 employers taken earlier this year, in which 45% said they planned to increase training programs to improve employees' use of grammar and other skills.
Because I am over 50 and I was raised by grammar sticklers, I am sympathetic to managers' complaints about rampant grammar mistakes. One of my parents' pet peeves: The improper use of "lay" and "lie." Anytime someone says "I'm tired and I'm going to lay down," I cringe. You lay down an object, but you lie down on the bed.
On the other hand, as my colleague Alison Griswold points out in a thoughtful, well-researched piece, experts recognize that language rules evolve, rather than remain static. Alison gives some great examples, like the use of the words "google," "access" and "reference" as verbs. "Access" only went from being a noun to a verb in 1962, Alison learned from the Online Etymology Dictionary. Alison has several wonderful quotes from linguistics professor Alice Harris at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Harris's conclusion, in short: language is constantly changing, and often those changes bubble up from informal usage. I should probably let go of my fixation on "lay" and "lie."
Still, as a plainspoken piece on today's Harvard Business Review blog points out, it's better to err on the side of grammar caution. The story is written by Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit, an online repair manual. Wiens says, simply, that he won't hire people who have bad grammar. He gives all of his job applicants a grammar test, making exceptions only for people with serious extenuating circumstances like dyslexia or those who are learning English as a second language. "If job hopefuls can't distinguish between 'to' and 'too,' their applications go into the bin," he writes. Wiens explains that he cares about grammar for two reasons. One, he points out, is that in this digital age, when we communicate increasingly in written texts and posts, "your words are all you have." We project ourselves through our written words, he notes. Another reason is that poor grammar shows a kind of sloppiness. Wiens wants to hire people who pay attention to detail.
I can think of several other reasons that grammar is important, in spoken English as well as in the written word. When you speak, you project your level of intelligence and thoughtfulness. You also demonstrate how organized you are, in your thoughts and in your intentions. If you can get your sentences straight before you say them, you're promising that you're more likely to master tasks at work. In addition to good grammar, it's best if you can scrub your speech of awkward pauses, "ums" and "uhs." The other thing eloquence suggests is that you are listening closely to the other person, and you're serious about what you want to convey to that person. Good grammar and clear sentences suggest respect.
Given how fast the digital world is changing the way we communicate, we may witness a more rapid change in grammar rules. But for now, as Kyle Wiens sensibly points out, it's best to keep grammar rules in mind and try to abide by them, when writing and speaking.
Access is not a verb. I will never buy in !
Spacing in between the end of a sentence and punctuation marks should always be avoided.
Obnoxious grammar Nazis will die out naturally and the young, with their evolved and improved language, will replace them. Groan all you want.
Language is held back unnaturally by writing. This is why our orthography is a joke. Get over it, like okay?
Don't you see we're all doomed? The legions of gum chewing, "I'm, like…" "no problem" and "whatever" are already too much with us.
Too late! The legions of gum chewing, "I'm like…," "no problem," "whatever" people who substitute "prolly" for "probably," "u" for "you" are already too much with us. In several states, public schools no longer teach cursive script.
And you think being a grammar scold will have any effect?
I'm like, wow!
It's judgmental college grads ,like this one, to blame for our high unemployment rates.And all the other things our society post-judges us for. And that was a real grammar mistake that was planned to prove a point to those that have come before. There's probably some grammar mistakes in this but I'm sure I got my point across.
Unless the job has a big part to do with grammar than I could care less I really could. That's an expression that could be revised.Because my generation could continue to care even less.
That's great… Or should I say 'That is great'.
In our quest to become less formal and more relaxed our standards of grammar have certainly dropped. I see it every day, especially as a marketer in the energy business. The use of contractions may help get the message across quicker & easier – but does that make it right in all occasions? Perhaps not.
Attention to detail avoids the embarrassing occurrences of every day mistakes – such as complimentary vs. complimentary, or stationery vs. stationery.
Does anyone else have some 'doozies'?
Historically "Proper" English has always teetered on a fine sliding scale. The vast array of diverse dialects that makes up the English Language have never made it an easy language to master. So why be the pedant now?
One being dyslexia or having the dumb luck of being born in a poor region (maybe call it the South, Midwest or well anywhere there are 'po folk') should not affect one's employment. Well unless they are going DIRECTLY into grammar Nazi field, like say the newspaper industry that is doing oh so well.
The grammar police are everywhere (check out the hilarious Oatmeal if you don't believe me) Age aside don't judge ones grammar as you are most likely judging their class/ race. For most professions, one should be know for the quality of their work and not that they know the difference between to and too.
"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing." ― George Bernard Shaw
You should not give up your 'fixations.' "Language is for communication," that bandied about phrase is less than a half-truth. Language is primarily our tool of COGNITION. The fine distinctions that are being destroyed today will remove the unparalleled feature of English to go to the micro, go to the macro and go everywhere between. [Sentence diagramming should be brought to the fore once again.] Today, that terrific teaching device shares a room with the dodo bird.
Today, multitudes (or are they muttitudes) speak vaguely, mangling meaning at every turn. Bright kids stammer and struggle to go deeply into any discussion, not because they have nothing to say, but rather because they cannot find the words and syntax required. They have no idea as to how and why English grammar functions.
The Kantians among us (pragmatists, deconstructionsists, postmodernists, existentiatlists, Nietzscheans and more) have adopted Herbert Marcuse's rallying cry: "Subvert. Subvert the culture. Subvert the LANGUAGE." Their project has been underway, unremittingly, for decades. I have met students who see subversion of the language as fun stuff, playing at icononclasm and winking conspiratorially at every act of subversion in their ambit. It must be stopped. It is portentious and is a clear marker of the no longer incipient decline of the West.
I repeat. Language is our tool of cognition. If handled well, it allows us to tie the evidence of our senses objectively to our concepts. Concept formation employs observation, reason and logic to the tasks of identifying and integrating our sensory experiences into clean objectively validated concepts. When concepts become unattached to their referents in reality, trouble ensues and pragmatism, range of the moment as it is, takes over. The Kantians are at the ready and today, see that their time is nigh.
Pragmatism denies reality and objectivity. So, deprived of a way to tie thought to fact, its adherents put all options on the table at all times. Nothing is objectively better or worse than anything else. Thought becomes a con game. Richard Rorty, the pope of American pragmatism intoned, "The truth is whatever your contemporaries let you get away with." If that isn't an open declaration of intellectual and moral bankruptcy, I don't know what is. The truth, then, becomes a battle of collective 'will', depending on how one defines ones 'contemporaries.'
Pragmatism is hard to attack because, in keeping all options open, it pretends to be 'open minded'. Pragmatism is less a comprehensive philosophy that it is a method of arguing that has but one goal: to defuse any definite statement, anything that gets to fundamentals, to essentials, because pragmatists (not lay people who use the word as if all it means is 'practical') are on a beeline to abolish cognitive excellence and certainty. Hmm… Immanuel Kant, grandfather of pragmatism, wrote, "I must now, therefore, lift knowledge (abolish cognition) in order to make room for faith (irrationality.) Faith can be secular or religious, as in say, Soviet Russia or Iran.
Muddying the meaning of words (concepts) and the elimination of fine gradations of thought do the rest. They render a population unable cleanly to identify what is going on, what is right, what is wrong. Everything goes to hell at this point, with demagogues and sociopaths using ill-defined terms like hope, change and sacrifice to extract tribute from the now-disarmed collective. Note that where there is sacrifice, someone (or group) is being sacrificed. AND, dear readers, someone (or group) is receiving the bounty of that sacrifice. Simple.
The ongoing wholesale attack on English must be challenged and those who understand the issue must not view their clear understanding of the fine distinctions of language as 'fixations.' Those who subvert are the ones fixated on destruction and the taking over of a culture. It could be put this way. The hater-subverters hate the good for being good. Not nice. Not salutary. Nope. Not at all.
In the meantime, those of you who can think should go about doing all that you can to flourish benevolently, not confusion productivity and chosen kindnesses with altruism and its demands for sacrifice. Sacrifice is the giving up of a greater value to a lesser value, in matter and in spirit.
If you love life and yourself, you will live in peace with your fellow humans, as an honest trader of values, both in spirit and in matter.
Thank you for your attention. Thrive people, thrive.
Near the end of my post, a sentence should read:
In the meantime, those of you who can think should go about doing all that you can to flourish benevolently, not CONFUSING productivity and chosen kindnesses (on one hand) with altruism and its demands for sacrifice (on the other hand).
I think the first thing to annoy me was the tendency to "verb" the word PARENT, as in "parenting children". I raised mine. Be careful when you use your bank card to pay for something. "Strip down facing me" takes on a double meaning!
I'm only 26, and I actually found this article refreshing. I agree with most of what you said, especially your point about good grammar suggesting respect. I have often noticed that an improperly worded statement can have an unintended disrespectful connotation. In the work place, that can have dire results when communicating with your peers or superiors.
It's obvious to me that in this age of instant communication, where it has become the norm to convey your thoughts in 160 characters or less, the English language has taken a beating. At times, I've read such poorly worded sentences that there is an actual communication break down. I would actually have to waste time deciphering what someone was trying to say. Ironically, using shortcuts in grammar with the intention of getting a point across quicker actually would waste more time by requiring someone to seek further clarification. While I do think there's a time and a place for condensing words and phrases for the sake of speed and efficiency, I do not think it is appropriate in the work place.
Keep in mind the fact that employers and investors — the ones whom you need to get ahead, ain't giving their money to those who can't express themselves well. It indicates other flaws, such as unwillingness to work or to accept the challenge of improvement for themselves and society.
My old journalism prof always used "more than" as opposed to "over" and "reared" instead of "raised" in the second paragraph. I guess being more than 60 adds more rules.
I also am over 50 ( by a lot of years) and I certainly agree with your stance on good grammar. I work with a woman who uses "was" instead of "were."
We was going out last night….
It's like finger nails on a blackboard, an outdated phrase, I know. I hope interest in grammar continues and with good outcomes.
While I completely agree that grammar is an enormous factor in making a good impression and grammatical errors are a serious problem today, I must argue that it is not only among the younger generations. I have spent my entire life correcting adults (teachers, even) as well as peers when they misuse words. The problem is not age, but education and the desire to learn. The sad truth is that people my age and younger have not been taught the importance of grammar. It is not emphasized enough at home, or in school. If parents and teachers better expressed the value of eloquence to the influential children in their lives, it might be less of an issue. Adults so often want to blame texting, instant messaging, and tweeting, but has it been detrimental to me? I am 21 years old and I know the difference between lay and lie; your and you're; there, their, they're; and sit and set. I resent the categorization of the "younger employees" as grammatically-challenged.
I despair of a time, possibly fast approaching, where grammar and punctuation will be so poor that readers will be unable clearly to understand what has been written or worse, will completely misunderstand.
Our failure in the UK to teach the grammar and punctuation of our own language has left us the ignorami of Europe and our inability to learn other languages, whilst somewhat influenced by the amount of English, (or American!), spoken throughout the world, has also been the result of our lack of knowledge of just what grammar actually means!
We have probably already created more than one generation incapable, largely, of writing clear, comprehensible English. Worse still, many young people today actually believe that writing in "text speak" is acceptable: it is, for texts but texts only! I can only hope we can ensure that the next generation is better taught.
The problem goes back, as this older citizen knows for a fact, to the 60s, when it was all the rage to let children learn "as and when they wanted" and when some idiot, somewhere, decreed that children would just "pick up" grammar and punctuation from reading. Clearly, that poor soul didn't realise just how little reading material many children actually had access to. We have reaped the rewards of that experiment.
Ironically, adjacent to this piece there was a teaser for another Forbes article headlined "FedEx And The Real Reason Why There's No Jobs."

Carroll Bell Elementary had a special visitor at their school and boy did he have a strange appetite. McGruff the Crime Dog visited the school September 26th and 27th to help kids take a bite out of crime and teach them about the dangers of bullying. Each student also received a Safety ID Kit that included information their parents could use in cases of emergency. Each kit included an ID card with a recent photo of the student, his or her fingerprint, contact information, and other important details. The visits centered around student safety but the most exciting part of the day for them was taking pictures with McGruff.

When Mackenzie McGrath hit a three-pointer to put Stoughton up by 10 points, 42-32, midway through the fourth quarter, it looked as if the the Black Knights might pull away on Stoughton's senior night, but the Foxborough High girls' basketball team wasn't about to go quietly.
A basket by Foxborough's Kristen Warner cut the Stoughton lead to 42-40 with 52 seconds left to play, capping an 8-0 run for the Warriors.
On Stoughton's next possession, Emma Zuk made one of two free throws, followed by a Foxborough missed shot, and then Stoughton's Ashley Medeiros was fouled and hit both of her foul shots, giving Stoughton a 45-40 edge with 25.5 seconds left. On the other end of the court, Andrea Marcotte was fouled while attempting a three-pointer and sank two out of three free throws to make it a 45-42 game with 16.3 seconds left.
Stoughton missed both of its foul shots on the ensuing possession, giving Foxborough a chance with 11.5 seconds on the clock to run a final play and send the game into overtime. But Katherine Tamulionis' three-point attempt hit the backboard, and Stoughton's Nicole Daniels grabbed the rebound and got the ball to Zuk who ran out the clock as the Black Knights held on for the 45-42 win Thursday night in Stoughton.
Stoughton improves to 11-5 with its second win over Foxborough this season. Meanwhile, the Warriors fall to 11-4.
"Our defense decided to show up in the last three minutes of the game. We were just trying to double team their ball handlers to make the person bringing the ball up the court a little more uncomfortable handling the ball," Foxborough coach Lisa Downs said. "It was just a little bit too late. The effort was great at the end but we were lacking 29 minutes of that effort."
Stoughton led 10-9 at the end of the first quarter. With the game tied at 16 after a two-pointer from Tamulionis with 3:56 left in the second, Stoughton held Foxborough to just one point the rest of the half, closing the quarter on a 9-1 run, taking a 25-17 lead at halftime.
After a sluggish start to the third quarter, where both teams scored just two points apiece over the first four minutes of the period, Stoughton took a 32-23 lead into the final eight minutes of play.
One of the highlights of the game was the battle between centers Ashley Snyder and Daniels of Stoughton. Snyder finished with 14 points, but was limited to just three field goals (unflappable, she went 8 for 8 from the free throw line) and Daniels had 6, also limited to three field goals.
"Snyder is a great player. [Daniels] is a great player. And you saw them going at it all night," Stoughton coach Janet Sullivan said. "Give credit to the refs, they let them play and [Snyder and Daniels] kind of neutralized each other. So it ended up being the rest of the team that was going to win or lose the game and I liked that other people stepped up tonight because we do rely so much on [Daniels]."
It was Stoughton's outside shooters who stepped up - Zuk (11 points), McGrath (9 points) and Marlena Siegel (9 points), combined for 29 points, including a half-dozen three-pointers between the three of them.
In addition to Snyder's 14 points, Warner had 8 points for Foxborough, including six in the fourth quarter; Andrea Marcotte also had 8 points; Tamulionis had 7; and Ally Perry had 5.
Foxborough travels to Milford Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 6:30 p.m., while Stoughton travels to Canton the same night.

continued Liverpool native Gregg Tripoli, now the executive director of the Onondaga Historical Association, delivered the keynote speech, a sweeping overview of Central New York's activist legacy. Tripoli chronicled the anti-slavery movement, the battle for women's suffrage and anti-war efforts here, but he also pointed to the establishment of orphanages and homes for the elderly as important social endeavors.
"Whenever groups of people were marginalized and under-represented," he said, "activists responded to their needs." Examples he cited included the Onondaga-Indian Welfare Society begun in 1911, the Rescue Mission established here in 1923 and InterFaith Works founded in 1976.
"InterFaith Works has settled more than 10,000 refugees in the Syracuse area," Tripoli said. "By so doing they're building unity and affirming dignity for future generations."
In the 21st century, local institutions such as the Dunbar Center and the Syracuse Peace Council and Syracuse Cultural Workers continue to battle racism and militarism, he said, while newer groups such as the Gay and Lesbian Alliance of Syracuse have formed to represent an emerging constituency.
"Through it all one thing is certain," Tripoli said. "The fight for social justice continues. It takes a community to life a community, to make the world a better place for everybody."

Since 2009, the Wake County Public Library system has put the construction of new facilities on hold, trimmed operating hours and slashed its book-buying budget.
While the county was able to avoid closing any of its 20 branches during the economic downturn, three years of austerity have taken a toll: the number of books in the libraries' collection is down more than a quarter of a million volumes from 2009.
During the past year, book circulation has dropped more than 7 percent and the number of people using the libraries is off by nearly 5 percent, reversing a decade-long trend of consistent growth.
With county revenues expected to rise a bit this year, there are hopes the busiest public library system in the state is about to start a new chapter. As budget discussions begin this spring, the county board of commissioners will consider whether to restart its building program through the sale of already-approved bonds and, if so, which projects to undertake. If there is enough money, officials might also restore some or all of the library operating hours, or fund the purchase of more books.
The county won't be able to do it all, says Frank Cope, director of Wake County Community Services, a sprawling department that includes public libraries.
It was Cope who proposed closing the Southeast Regional Library in Garner in 2009 and, when that met with cries of protest, suggested shutting the Athens Drive and Duraleigh branches to meet required budget cuts. Those branches, too, had their supporters.
"Those were not politically viable solutions for the commissioners," Cope said, so he saved money by closing the libraries earlier on Friday evenings and at other times when they tended to see less traffic. Across all the branches, he trimmed a total of 55 hours a week.
Cuts to the book budget were more drastic, and they were amplified by the halt in the construction of new libraries, which had been opening at a rate of about one a year. With the opening of each new library came an infusion of tens of thousands of new books, which stocked the shelves of the new facility and immediately began circulating throughout the system.
In 2009, Wake County libraries spent $2.8 million buying books.
In the current fiscal year, they will spend a little more than half that, $1,426,000. Through wear and tear, loss and the weeding-out of titles that rarely get checked out, the system's collection has dropped from about 1.8 million books in December 2009 to about 1.5 million now.
"It's noticeable," said Jean Ells, manager of the Cameron Village Regional Library, which circulates about a million books a year. In part to disguise the loss, library workers removed some racks of shelving and replaced them with lounge seating to accommodate the increasing number of people who like to spend hours here at a time.
Throughout the adult non-fiction section upstairs, the bottom shelves are empty, and the cookbooks, gardening guides, biographies, political critiques and art-history tomes all have plenty of breathing space, with each shelf only about half full.
Patrons will also notice that it takes longer – sometimes much longer – to get a popular book than it did a few years ago, because while the libraries still buy the same titles that are selling well in book stores, they buy fewer of them.
Wake County has 16 copies of "American Sniper," the Chris Kyle book that was at the top of the New York Times Bestseller List on Friday. Eighty-one library patrons were waiting for their chances to read the book Friday night, according to the library's online reservation system.
With its mission emphasis on childhood literacy, the libraries have made fewer cuts in its children's collection than in the adults'.
"You have to make tough choices," Ells said. "If John Grisham has a new book out, we're going to buy it. But where we used to buy maybe 100 copies, now we're going to buy 10."
At this point, Cope said, he's more inclined to ask for money to reinstate the lost operating hours as opposed to buying more books.
That's partly because he doesn't know yet whether commissioners will decide to restart the libraries' capital improvement plan, which includes the construction or expansion of several new branches. The last new one to open was Leesville Community Library, in October 2009. It was already under construction when the recession hit.
At its recent retreat, where it heard updates from communities across the county, the board of commissioners heard several pleas for library improvements. As the county was refining the library system in the 1980s, it went to a decentralized model, with a series of large regional libraries and smaller community branches. Nearly everyone in Wake County is within a 15-minute drive of a library building.
"If you're a town and you don't have a library, you want one," said David Cooke, Wake County manager. "If you're a town and you have a small library, you want a bigger one. People see a library as a very positive asset."
With successful library bond issues in 2003 and 2007, the county could have afforded to build new libraries even during the recession, Cooke says, including the planned Northeast Regional library, in the Wakefield area. Northeast was the last major project to be paid for out of the 2003 bond issue that funded $35 million in library facilities, and though the design had been completed, it was put on hold.
"Construction is only part of the cost of a new library," Cooke said. "Once you build it, you have to pay the operating costs," and the county decided not to take on that expense.
That library would likely be the first to go up if the country resumes construction. By selling bonds approved in 2007, the county could also build new or expanded libraries in Garner, Cary, Fuquay-Varina or Wake Forest.
In the longer term, as libraries continue to evolve, the county will have to decide how it wants to use the buildings. With 12.1 million books going in and out of its branches, Wake County libraries have the highest circulation of any system in the state. The next busiest is the Charlotte Meckleburg Library, which circulated 5.5 million books last year.
But Wake's branches also are heavily used for children's programs, job training, meetings, public computer access, tutoring, research and as a comfortable place to hang out, not unlike a coffee shop. Until recently, Cameron Village actually had a coffee kiosk.
As more people begin to do their reading through book downloads, it's not clear how much demand there will be for a place that serves as custodian of paper versions.
Carol Cutler-White, chair of the Wake County Library Commission, the citizens' advisory board, believes there always will be a place for libraries.
"I love libraries," she said, adding that her group would like to see the capital improvement plan restarted, all the operating hours reinstated and the book budget restored to its pre-recession level, though she knows that's unrealistic.
"Libraries serve vital functions," she said. "They contribute to economic development, to literacy, to a sense of community. They're part of what makes this place attractive."

Pure Coconut Water. No sugar added. With/without pulp/jelly. Need recommendations please.
VitaCoco, Zico, O.N.E are my top 3
highly recommend "taste nirvana" comes in a green bottle or can, with or without pulp. easiest to find at natural foods stores. whole foods carries it as well i believe
Believe it or not, dollarama has my vote. Pure 100% coconut water, no sugar, pulp, and not from concentrate. Also it comes in tall cans for a dollar!! You get 3 times the amount than any of those vita coco, one or any expensive tetra pack rip off brand which they sell for $3 at grocery stores. Coconut water is so expensive so I only buy from dollarama. It's usually sold out at every location, when I see stock I fill the trunk, always on hand.
My favourite is the Grace brand. Though harder to find the one without the pulp.
TAS, found at most Chinese groccery stores, certain no frills, fresco etc.
100% coconut water from Thailand, nothing else added. $1 a can.
Don't get ripped off paying 2-3x more for foo foo health food store brands.
re: aser
Thanks aser. I was at T&T today and picked up the last can of Grace coconut water. Tasted pretty authentic although water is listed as the 2nd ingredient. Also tried the UFC brand. Pretty good for $2.99/lit. Now have to go back to get the TAS. I tried the VitaCoco at Costco and found it water down.
re: smfan
Tasting Nirvana is probably the closest I've had to drinking it straight from a young coconut, but it's incredibly expensive.
Tas is still relatively close but at 1/3rd the price.
I find most of these expensive health food store brands taste like ass, especially blue monkey. It just tastes off to moi.

Albany High School Amnesty International Student Club to Hold Demonstration to Demand President Obama and Members of Congress to Close Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility
Students to mark 11th anniversary of first detainees imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay with a demonstration which will include orange jumpsuits and mock prison cell on Solano Ave. and Key Route Blvd. on Friday, January 11th
(Albany, CA) -- President Barack Obama must revisit the promise he made in 2009 to close the Guantanamo detention facility and commit the United States to releasing the detainees or bringing them to fair trial, Amnesty International said ahead of the 11th anniversary of the first detainee transfers to the U.S. naval base in Cuba and just days before his re-inauguration as President.
Today, 166 detainees are still held at Guantanamo – out of the 779 men taken to the facility since 2002, the vast majority were held for years without charge or criminal trial. Seven men have been convicted by military commission, including five as a result of pre-trial agreements under which they pled guilty in return for the possibility of release from the base.
Six detainees are currently facing the possibility of death
sentences after military commission trials that do not meet international fair trial standards. All six were subjected to enforced disappearance prior to their transfer to Guantánamo and, among other abuses, two of them were
subjected to the torture technique known as "water-boarding," effectively mock execution by interrupted drowning.
After first taking office in January 2009, President Obama pledged to resolve the Guantánamo detentions and close the facility within a year. He also ordered an end to the Central Intelligence Agency's use of "enhanced"
interrogation techniques and long-term "black sites."
Albany High School Amnesty International Student Club will mark the 11th anniversary of the first detainees being jailed at the U.S.-controlled detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on Friday, January 11, 2013, with a demonstration on the corner of Solano Ave. and Key
Route Blvd. from 2:30-4:00pm. Students will wear orange jumpsuits, construct a mock prison cell and ask members of the public to call President Obama and Members of Congress to close Guantanamo Bay detention facility. For more information, go to www.amnestyusa.org/gitmo.
Amnesty International is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning grassroots activist organization with more than 3 million supporters, activists and volunteers in more than 150 countries campaigning for human rights worldwide. The organization investigates and exposes abuses, educates and mobilizes the public, and works to protect people wherever justice, freedom, truth and dignity are denied.

Andrew Worthington, Kyle Roth, Nick Catherine, Brett Jensen and Dave Todd.
Canmore man Andy Richard is sure that without these five men he would have died on Monday; buried under a metre of snow after being swept up in an avalanche.
"These guys are heroes," he said Thursday.
"I owe the world to them. (They) acted right away to save my life without any regard for their own safety."
Richard 30, and his friend Dustin Schellenberg, 28, were snowboarding and skiing respectively in the Delirium Dive — an area of free ride terrain in the Sunshine Village ski resort — on Monday.
About 2 p.m., they started a ride on the Milky Way run when the snowpack gave way.
"Everything happened so quickly," Richard said.
"All I remember about the first few seconds is how large it was, and how quickly it was able to gain momentum. Once the snow started moving faster than me, I was swept off my feet."
Avalanche training had taught Richard to paddle with his arms and legs if swept away, to try to stay as close to the surface as possible.
After "a little bit of success", the avalanche took him over a cliff.
"I remember the exact moment I went into the air, as I could tell I was free falling," Richard said.
"As soon as I hit the ground, it was lights out until they rescued me."
At least three groups of skiers and snowboarders were nearby, and rushed to the scene.
Schellenberg was only partially buried and was dug free within minutes. He suffered serious injuries. There was no sign of Richard.
Snowboarder Kyle Roth credits fellow rescuer Andrew Worthington for what happened next.
"(He) took charge of the scene amazingly," Roth said in an e-mail, "getting everyone on search mode and doing a ski count of the debris field."
Using his avalanche beacon, Roth said Worthington got a lock on Richard's position under the snow (every user in the Delirium Dive must take at least one partner and be equipped with beacons, probes and shovels). Roth probed the area and got a hit about one metre down.
"There were six of us digging vigorously," he said.
"It was surreal. It was really happening. The boarder was facing down, blue face and not breathing. Andrew pulled the snow from his mouth and he started breathing on his own."
Catherine, Jensen and Todd helped with the digging, Roth said. So did a skier, who Roth only knows as 'Leaf', and one other man.
Sunshine ski patrollers arrived soon after Richard was freed and the pair were taken to hospital.
Richard said they were both in "pretty good" shape after the ordeal. He was in a stable condition and Schellenberg, despite not being buried as deeply, was in a serious condition.
Rescuers' accounts put Richard buried in the snow for about ten minutes.
"I consider myself to be very lucky," he said.
"Not only (did they) save my life, but I'm sure at 10-15 minutes buried, I wasn't very far off of brain damage due to oxygen withdrawal."
Based on pictures of the scene, Richard estimated he fell nearly 500 metres in the avalanche. A GPS tracker he was wearing recorded a top speed of almost 90 kmh.
The Milky Run opened for the season just three days before the slide, after a week of avalanche mitigation. The run was cleared for use again on Monday morning by two of Sunshine's avalanche technicians.
Richard and Schellenberg had all the necessary safety gear, and are thankful others nearby did too.
"This is why I ride areas like Delirium Dive," Richard said.
"It's full of phenomenal people who are prepared and ready to act in a second's notice.
"Despite (Sunshine's) most diligent efforts, Mother Nature is unpredictable and accidents can happen at a ski resort, just like everywhere else. It's the danger that every skier accepts."
Editor's Note: This is a corrected version of this story. A previous version stated Delirium Dive was first opened in late March. The Delirium Dive area opened on Feb. 26.

I totally disagree with you - the play was excellent. Maybe you were too uncomfortable with the content and therefore bashed the play. You totally missed the point.
@Optimist Not sure what you are getting at, as my main concern with the play isn't content (pervasive, institutionalized racism in America, for example), but form. The structure is so scatter shot and the content diffuse that the actual themes, and more importantly story and characters, become muddled.

The strength of Purdue's Department of Physics is its internationally recognized research in the areas of astrophysics, condensed-matter physics, high energy physics, geophysics, nanophysics, nuclear physics, sensor technology, biophysics, AMO (atomic, molecular, and optical) physics, and more. The Department of Physics and Astronomy strives to involve students in research on all the scales of nature so they can develop into the next generation of scientists who can understand and communicate the beauty and mystery of the world that we live in.
Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Physics is one of the burgeoning areas in the landscape of experimental and theoretical physics. This field is concerned with understanding basic phenomena ranging from the few-body to the many-body level. Included are processes such as chemical reactions of small molecules at ultracold temperatures, where the field begins to merge with the sister subject of chemical physics, and the behavior of quantum gases such as Bose-Einstein condensates and degenerate Fermi gases as well as Bose-Fermi mixtures, which connects with modern day condensed-matter physics. AMO Physics also connects deeply with recent efforts worldwide in the subject of quantum information and computing, as well as the quantum teleportation and encryption of information. The physics of ultrafast laser pulses lasting less than 10-15 seconds, and the use of such pulses to control the behavior of quantum atomic and molecular systems, is another of these stimulating areas, ripe for new explorations.
The participation of the Purdue Physics Department in this dynamic subfield is presently in a growth phase, for both theory and experiment. One of the most exciting possibilities that is pervasive in nearly all aspects of AMO Physics is the idea of controlling the forces in any system through the clever application of external electromagnetic fields.
At the smallest sub-atomic scales (10-15 meters) Purdue faculty are unraveling the structure of matter using some of the most powerful particle accelerators created by man at Fermilab in Batavia, Il, CERN in Europe, and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in New York. The high energy particle physics group is engaged in experiments at the high energy and short distance frontiers in experiments such as CDF at Fermilab and CLEO/CLEO-C at Cornell and preparations for the next generation experiment, CMS, at the Large Hadron Collider. These experiments involve probing the properties of heavy quarks and leptons and the search for new phenomena. Members of the high energy nuclear physics group are studying the deconfined state of matter known as the quark-gluon plasma, created in collisions between relativistic heavy nuclei.
Our Purdue facilities, which include clean rooms for the development and fabrication of microstructure silicon and gas detectors, are among the best in the nation. The blend of sophisticated design and fabrication of detectors, together with the analysis of frontier physics provide an ideal education for students.
At the nano-to-micron scale (10-9 - 10-6 meters), physics department faculty and students are studying the properties of diverse systems such as the single electron transistor, small ensembles of matter and the electronic properties of macroscopic materials. In addition, there is an active research program that focuses on biological systems. Current experimental investigations include the dynamics of the heme group, photosynthetic systems using pico-second and femto-second pump-probe techniques, and computational studies of the electronic structure and mesoscopic properties of bio-molecular nanostructures.
At the "everyday" scale (10-3 - 103 meters) faculty are probing the workings of gravity, "flying through" tumors, characterizing percolation in soil and rocks, and determining the ages of geological features. The Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement Laboratory (PRIME Lab) is one of only a few facilities in the nation capable of measuring very low concentrations of the natural and man-made radio-nuclides 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 36Cl, 41Ca and 129I, using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). Although the instruments and detection methods are those of nuclear physics, research applications are concentrated in the Earth sciences and biomedical sciences. An example is research directed at combating osteoporosis, a disease characterized by decreased skeletal mass and increased susceptibility to bone fractures. We are investigating the use of soy isoflavones as an alternative to estrogen replacement therapy by administering these supplements with 41Ca and then monitoring 41Ca excreted in the urine.
At the largest scales, the astronomical scale (1012 - 1026 meters), researchers are pursuing the answers to questions concerning the death of stars, the workings of galaxies and the super-massive black holes that power them, to the very basics of how the Universe was born and what is its ultimate fate. The astrophysics group conducts research of astrophysical objects using a multi-wavelength approach. Current research includes the use of radio-telescopes, space-based telescopes, and land-based gamma-ray telescopes located in Arizona.
An exciting new development in the Department of Physics and Astronomy is its selection, in partnership with ITaP (Information Technology at Purdue University) to build and operate a so-called "Tier-2 center". Tier-2 centers are at the core of empowering US universities to perform physics analysis at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). The LHC, currently under construction at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research located near Geneva, Switzerland, is the largest scientific instrument on the planet.
The Purdue University Research Expertise database (PURE) is now the Indiana Database for University Research Expertise (INDURE)! With this tool, you can search for research expertise, intellectual property, anad ongoing sponsored research projects at academic institutions across the state of Indiana. By entering relevant keywords, or alternatively using a simple navigation mechanism you can find Indiana faculty by specifying fields of study. For example, if you're looking for researchers in bioinformatics, you will find more than seventy Indiana faculty members with expertise in bioinformatics. Visit the database to identify Purdue researchers by keywords or fields of interest.

In July last year, we were led to believe that Hizbollah's kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers led to the invasion of Lebanon. Things are rarely that simple....time for a recap, some naming and shaming and some Bible studyRemember 24th June 2006, when Israeli forces abducted two civilians, a doctor and his brother, from Gaza.
Remember 26th June 2006 when Palestinian commandos killed two Israeli soldiers and captured Israeli Corporal Gilad Shalit after tunnelling 300 yards into Israel from Gaza. The Palestinian captors demanded that Israel release all 95 Palestinian women and 313 youths under age 18 held in Israeli prisons in exchange for the release of Shalit. A total of over 9,500 Palestinians (excluding those who are Israeli citizens) were known to be held in Israeli prisons.
Remember 27th June 2006 when Israeli troops and armour moved in force into southern Gaza and a carnage began.
Remember 12th July 2006, when the Israeli air force killed a family of nine by dropping a 550lb bomb on a house in a residential area of Gaza City.
Remember 12th July 2006, when responding to atrocities in Gaza and the Israeli seizure of much of the Palestinian government leadership, the Lebanese Hezbollah militia engaged in border skirmishes with Israeli troops. In the ensuing battle, Hezbollah forces killed 3 Israeli soldiers and captured two. With Israeli forces in hot pursuit into Lebanon, another 5 Israeli soldiers died.
Remember 13th July 2006 when Israel Prime Minister Omert described the attack on army posts on the Lebanese border and the capture of the soldiers as an "act of war" by the government in Beirut and warned of a "very painful and far-reaching" response.
Remember 13th July 2006 when Israel responded with military assaults from the air, land, and sea into southern Lebanon.
Remember 15th July 2006, when at the G8 meeting Putin states 'In my judgment, the best way to stop the violence is to understand why the violence occurred in the first place.' While Prime Minister Tony Blairís spokesperson refused to condemn the Israeli actions. Instead he said it was ěessential for the captured Israeli soldiers to be released and for all sides to act with constraint.î
Remember 18th July 2006, Israel Defence Force attacked a convoy of ambulances and trucks operated by the UAE Red Crescent.
Remember 20th July 2006, when Mr Blair demanded that Hizbullah stop firing rockets at Israel and release kidnapped Israeli soldiers: "If it [Israel's disproportionate response] is to stop it has to stop by undoing how it started and it started with the kidnap of Israeli soldiers and the bombardment of northern Israel and if we want this to stop that has to
Remember 21st July 2006,when the Guardian reports that ěTony Blair is publicly highly supportive of Israel and has declined to call for an immediate ceasefireî.
Remember 24-26th July 2006 when Israel shelled unarmed UN posts, killing 4 observers and seriously injuring several. Israel also attacked two clearly marked Red Cross ambulances in Qana.
Remember 26th July 2006 when ten Lebanese ambulances bearing Red Cross markings were also targets.
Remember 26th July 2006 when Chief Rabbi jonathan Sacks declared in a march in London, ětoday we stand in solidarity with Israel, and rarely have I felt so proud of Anglo-Jewry as I have done these past few daysÖ. Why then does a people who have consistently said Yes to life and No to death, who have consistently said Yes to peace and No to terror, find itself today fighting in Lebanon and Gaza? The answer is so simple, yet so unbelievable, that we must hear it clearly and unequivocally: Israel is fighting today in Lebanon because six years ago it withdrew from Lebanon. Israel is fighting today in Gaza because one year ago it withdrew from Gaza".
Remember 30th July 2006 when Israel aircraft bombed a house in Qana, killing 28 including 16 children. Israeli claimed that Hizbollah rockets and fighters were in the vicinity, later proved untrue by Human Rights Watch who visited Qana on the same day and the next day.
Remember 31st July 2006 when UN today said it had "indefinitely postponed" moves to send an international stabilisation force to south Lebanon. Prime Minister Blair refused to endorse calls for an immediate unconditional ceasefire or to condemn the Israeli bombing as disproportionate.
Remember 12th August 2006, when Muslim organisations sent an open letter to Blair urging him to change his stand: ěAs British Muslims we urge you to do more to fight against all those who target civilians with violence, whenever and wherever that happensî. [This letter may well have been the basis of his ire towards the Muslim Council of Britain]
Remember 14th August 2006, when UN Resolution 1701 for a ceasefire, first mooted on 11th August took effect. Over a thousand Lebanese were killed and subsequent reports indicated that 100,000 cluster bombs were dropped ń with 90% in the last 72 hours of the conflict (The Guardian, 21st August 2006). Moreover, Israel made use of white phosphorus bombs (The Guardian, 23rd October 2006) forbidden in international law.
ěPREPARATIONS FOR ISRAEL'S WAR IN LEBANON LAST SUMMER WERE DRAWN UP AT LEAST FOUR MONTHS BEFORE TWO ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE KIDNAPPED BY HIZBULLAH IN JULY, EHUD OLMERT, THE PRIME MINISTER, HAS ADMITTED.
HIS SUBMISSION TO A COMMISSION OF INQUIRY, LEAKED YESTERDAY, CONTRADICTED THE IMPRESSION AT THE TIME THAT ISRAEL WAS PROVOKED INTO A BATTLE FOR WHICH IT WAS ILL-PREPARED. MR OLMERT TOLD THE WINOGRAD COMMISSION, A PANEL OF JUDGES CHARGED WITH INVESTIGATING ISRAEL'S PERCEIVED DEFEAT IN THE 34-DAY WAR, THAT HE FIRST DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF WAR IN JANUARY [2006] AND ASKED TO SEE MILITARY PLANS IN MARCH [2006]î.
So a neo-con grand plan, in which our Prime Minister was complicit, to knock out Hamas and Hizbullah, quell the insurgents in Iraq and then march on to Iran was put paid.
ěAnd there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brassÖAnd David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of Davidî (OT: Samuel).

Pottstown Bark for Life volunteers spent the morning bathing, brushing and toweling their way through 55 dogs to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
The Atomic Dog Wash was hosted by vice president Tom Thunstrom and his branch on Lewis Road.
Dogs of all sizes came out to get cleaned up. Russ Sarault of Old English Grooming was on hand to take care of the brushing, nail trimming and ear cleaning, and a team of volunteers handled all the bathing.
This event is Bark for Life's last event for the year. Their fundraising year starts again in September, and their marquee event is the Bark for Life dog walk in the spring.
This year's walk will be held at Pottstown Memorial Park on Saturday, April 13, 2013.

A young woman ended up drunk and lying in her own vomit outside the Braintree Brew House on her birthday last month, a night that led local officials on Tuesday to sanction the Granite Street bar.
The Board of License Commissioners found that the Brew House violated alcohol regulations by serving an intoxicated person and penalized the establishment with a one-day suspension of its license. The penalty will not have to be served if the Brew House avoids problems for the next six months.
An attorney for the Brew House and the chair of the board both argued that there was not enough evidence to prove that a violation occurred.
"I would suggest what we have is circumstantial statements," said Chair Joe Powers, the sole dissenting vote. "We do not have a preponderance of evidence or even sufficient evidence..."
The woman's friends gave conflicting accounts of where and how much she drank on the night of Aug. 17, and no one could say exactly when the group left the bar, or what they may have consumed off-premises, according to police reports.
In addition, the only credit card receipt attached to the group showed just $12.50, which could have been drinks, non-alcoholic beverages or even food, manager Alex Kesaris said.
"He's not in the business of over-serving people," attorney Thomas J. Cavanaugh said of Kesaris. "He wants to provide a safe place for people to come and enjoy themselves."
Sometime between last call at 12:20 a.m. and closing time at 1 a.m., the woman and her friends went out into the parking lot. At that point, she was so drunk that she could not walk and her friends called 911, Officer James Peters said.
The woman, a 21-year-old from Braintree, was eventually transported to South Shore Hospital.
When Peters and Officer David Jordan arrived at the Brew House, the establishment was closed and the staff was unaware of what had been happening in the parking lot, according to their testimony. Kesaris said neither he nor any of his employees remembered seeing the intoxicated woman.
Officer Jordan's report conflicted somewhat with Peters', indicating that the woman's friends told him that she drank a significant amount of alcohol at the bar. Peters said that he was unable to confirm whether or how much she drank inside.
Board member Russell Forsberg, arguing for the violation and at first for a stronger, non-suspended penalty, said that all the information amounted to an "egregious" offense – more serious than other alcohol incidents because of how intoxicated the woman was.
Powers pointed out that the board had no medical evidence and no eyewitness testimony that showed the woman was served at the Brew House while intoxicated. He voted for the suspended one-day penalty to stay consistent with past practice, Powers said, but argued that the state alcohol agency could overturn the board's decision.

Home > Archives for Foursquare
We could editorialize all day about this crazy news but its probably better you read it firsthand over at Transworld Business. The short version is that Forum, Foursquare and Special Blend are done after this season, Gravis is moving to Japan-only, Analog is moving back to a snow-only brand based in Vermont, and RED is being absorbed into anon. As fans of all these brands, we are bummed, the snow gods owe us some serious pow for this one.
Forum/Special Blend/Foursquare isn't going to win any awards for the name of their movie for this year, but if this trailer is an indication, #FORUM is definitely going to be in the running for Video of the Year. Hot damn this shit is fire!
To coincide with the launch of their new 2012 website, Foursquare has pioneered a photographic journey into snowboarding featuring first of its kind action imagery and a corresponding video called The Wetplate Project. Photographer Ian Ruhter creates each image on location by mixing Collodion, iodizes, bromides, ether, alcohol, silver nitrate, ferrous sulfate, and acids while applying them to a metal or glass plate. The final product is a one-of-a-kind original that cannot be matched by any other photographic process of our day. Check out Andreas Wiig in the first of five videos.
Forum, Foursquare and Special Blend rolled deep into NYC this week bringing John Jackson and Pat Moore for a visit that culminated in a pool party at the Thompson LES hotel on Thursday night. Powered by TheGoodLife!, the party included floating snowboards, outerwear-clad mannequins lounging on beach chairs, complimentary drinks from Karlsson's Gold Vodka and PBR, fiya from DJ smoke LES, and NYC's finest in shred and media. Following the pool, the party moved upstairs to Above Allen where all hell broke loose until the break of dawn with the Frank151 and TheGoodLife! crews. More photos after the jump.
Foursquare just dropped another "Everything Has a Purpose" commercial, this one featuring super shred x metal fiend Pat Moore.
Its already September and that means snow is on its way. The team at Foursquare wants to make sure you're ready and have launched its 2011 outerwear and apparel line. Check out their website to view the entire line.
Foursquare has launched its new 2011 Website. The site was built from the ground up with a focus on simplicity, ease of use, clean aesthetics and function. With a new new video section, the blog feed, and the team pages you can check it all out here.
You're gonna need some big shoulders to fill this Viking's coat, but if you think you can wield it, Andreas Wiig is hooking somebody up with an autographed jacket. Hit up the Foursquare Facebook page until May 7th and post something eloquent about your love of jackets to try to be that special someone.
As a follow up to last year's Video of the Year Forever, Special Blend, Forum, and Foursquare have put all their cumulative star power behind F'It. In lieu of a trailer, they've released the following 7 tenets of F'It:
1. It's overcast and didn't snow as much as the forecast promised? F' It. Wake up at 5am and sit in the clouds.
2. Just got broken off? F' It. Send in the Youngbloods.
3. The cops shut you down after you set up the zone and were about to drop? F' It. Go back at 3am.
4. The Canadian Border banned you from entering while it's dumping in Whistler? F' It. Pay a lawyer as much as it costs to fix it.
5. Your snowmobile just blew up in the alpine? F' It. Light up the credit card on rental charges until it's fixed.
6. You just flew across the country and the three feet of snow that was in the city melted overnight? F' It. Pack up and drive all night to the next zone.
7. Sprained ankle? Broken back? Fractured foot? Blown shoulder? Concussion? Broken ribs? Sprained pelvis? Shattered heel? F' It. Injuries happen … keep going.
F'It is set to drop Fall 2010.
Andreas Wiig continues to make move this week with the announcement that he is on Foursquare and now head to toe in The Program. When you envision the endless possibilities of throwing the mighty Viking into sessions with the likes of Peter Line, Eddie Wall, and Pat Moore it makes you less bummed that they used just about the same pic for both announcements. Just kidding, we're not bummed.

Fixnetix, a leading provider of ultra-low latency market data, trading access and exchange hosting services, and Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), a provider of global data centre services, today announced that Fixnetix has expanded its operations to Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centres in the New York and Chicago areas in order to offer the lowest latency US data and market access for European firms looking to trade in the US. The move, which builds upon current Fixnetix deployments at Equinix centres in London and Frankfurt, will also provide US-based trading firms, prime brokers and hedge funds with direct, low-latency access to key European markets.
Within Equinix's New York and Chicago centres, Fixnetix will have a direct connection to Equinix Financial eXchange's established community of execution venues, buy and sell side firms and technology utilities, that have located at Equinix's high performance data centres to access the widest choice of low-latency networks and to directly exchange data with strategic partners and customers in close proximity. The high quality and advanced design of Equinix's centres offers financial customers a full range of scalable services, including colocation, interconnection, support and the highest levels of security.
Fixnetix's direct ultra low latency trading access and market data feed solutions have been designed to be fast, reliable and flexible, and feature best of breed feed handler technology, unparalleled high bandwidth provision and full redundancy throughout the entire delivery mechanism. Fixnetix feeds integrate easily into an organisation's existing architecture or can be used in a dedicated environment such as the Equinix Financial eXchange to deliver ultimate end-to-end performance. Whether colocated using Fixnetix's @Source hosting or connecting via the company's Ethernet and Fibre networks, Fixnetix always ensures the fastest end-to-end performance for trading infrastructures.
"Fixnetix is well known for offering the highest levels of performance for its end-to-end, ultra-low latency market and data services," said John Knuff, director of business development for Equinix. "We are delighted that when they decided to expand their operations in North America, they chose Equinix's financial hubs in the New York and Chicago areas as their primary US points of presence. The large community of financial trading firms in our New York and Chicago area centres will now have access to Fixnetix's low-latency market data and trading infrastructure, offering minimal latency to all major trading venues in Europe."
"With this expansion into the North American market we're looking to capitalise on the growing demand from firms with trading strategies that require access to related – but separate – international markets," added Fixnetix's Chief Executive Officer, Hugh Hughes. "Our customers rely on our ultra-low latency market data feeds and trading connectivity to provide them with competitive advantage, so when we decided to offer two-way connectivity between the US and Europe we knew that we would have to establish points of presence and set up our hubs with a data centre partner that could offer the highest levels of security, reliability and low level connectivity. Equinix was the obvious choice, and the combination of our technology running across the Equinix technical infrastructure means that our customers will be able to rely on the highest levels of performance."

I'd have to go through the userlist, but we have people from Baton Rouge (Mean_Green I think), New Orleans, the Westbank, Slidell, and even Picayune. I'm thinking we might have enough people around here that we could possibly have a Meet-and-Greet. I'll have to make a thread offering it up, see what we can drum up.
I'm in Kenner. I just figured many people wouldn't know where Kenner was, and I don't typically put NOLA since I try my best to stay out of town if I can! (Haha) Who else is down here? I heard from a couple of Louisiana people when I first joined last month.
Care to elaborate where in southeast LA you are? We now have a good 10 members or so from the New Orleans area.
