Oakley World Pro Junior After Dark
As the sun set on the final day the 2010 Oakley World Pro Junior, competitors, contest staff and fans alike were all ready to let loose and celebrate!
Never in anyone's wildest dreams was the contest expected to kick-off and run through the first week of the waiting period to end with a week to spare. Therefore, what started as a casual Friday night party at former O athlete and Balinese swell guru, Tippi Jabrik's retail store RAW, quickly turned into the official-unofficial-Oakley World Pro Junior after party.
Walking into the dimly lit store with strobe lights illuminating original Oakley inspired artwork and elaborate product displays to find the music pumping and cold drinks flowing, the celebratory vibe was contagious.
Among those getting down on the dance floor (and up on the pool table) were Champions Jack Freestone and Tyler Wright with fellow competitors Granger Larsen, Mitch Crews, Miguel Pupo, Ciao Ibelli, Marc Lacramore, Charly Martin and Laura Enever among many others, as well as, Contest Director Beau Emerton, Oakley Surf Marketing Manager Ronny Nelson and local Balinese hero Petet.
The night was the perfect end to a killer event and left everyone already dreaming of what 2011 will have in store.

FAIRMONT — Construction matters were on the minds of the Fairmont State Board of Governors Thursday as they discussed projects to widen Locust Avenue and the continuing renovation of the historic Kennedy Barn.
First, a project to widen Locust Avenue to three lanes has been a priority for the state for several years. Last year, the board set aside $400,000 to help with the project, but stipulated they must give approval for each facet of the project.
On Thursday, state Division of Highways manager Greg Phillips attended the meeting to provide support and answer questions.
The university owns the property located across Locust Avenue, but hasn't decided what to do with it yet.
Jim Decker, Fairmont State assistant vice president for facilities and capital projects, said as part of the road-widening project, the state will add more drainage in an effort to reduce a stormwater problem in the area.
"It sometimes floods over there when it rains hard," Decker said.
In order to widen the road, the utility poles must be moved, board chairman Andy Kniceley said. He suggested paying additional money to have the utility lines moved to the back of the property to make it easier to build or develop there eventually.
Ultimately, the board voted to pay to move the utility lines to the back of the property and $6,000 to install decorative street lights to match the ones on the main campus. Kniceley said an agreement had been reached with the City of Fairmont for the poles. The city will pay for the electricity to power the lights, Kniceley said, if the university pays for the lights' upkeep.
In other building matters, the renovation of the Kennedy Barn may be at a standstill.
Renovations to the former Kennedy Barn are currently taking place to transform the building into the new Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center. The renovations are projected to cost more than $1.5 million.
Only part of the money has been secured, so the project has been broken up into phases over the next few years. The first piece of money, $250,000, was donated by alumni Frank and Jane Gabor.
Decker informed the board Thursday additional problems had surfaced with the project and more money would be needed immediately. Since the agreement with the Gabors states the board of governors and the Fairmont State Foundation split the costs of the renovation, it amounted to about $88,000 each.
K. Jean Ahwesh, head of the foundation, said she would have to discuss the matter with that group's board of directors, which meets later this week.
Decker explained if the money isn't received quickly, construction will cease.
The added problems include additional repairs to beams and braces within the structure. Decker said they have already begun work on a host of other additional issues including more work to the roof, floor joists, demolition of five layers of concrete floor slabs and asbestos abatement and removal.
Board vice chairman Rocco Muriale said he is concerned about the ongoing costs of the project, since construction costs are continuing to rise.
The foundation had hopes the building would be completed before next year's homecoming in October 2009. That may not be realistic, Decker said.
Ultimately, the board of governors voted to spend the $88,000 if the foundation could come up with its share.

Governors Make Outback Wager
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal have made a friendly wager over who wins the Outback Bowl.
The governors announced Tuesday that food from their respective state may be sent to food banks in both Iowa and Louisiana. The game Wednesday in Tampa, Fla., will help determine if it's pork or seafood.
If the Iowa Hawkeyes beat the LSU Tigers, Jindal will donate 100 pounds of Louisiana seafood to a food bank in Iowa and another 100 pounds to a food bank in Louisiana. If the Tigers win, Branstad will donate the same amount to the same food banks. Except the food will be pork from Iowa.
The governors say the wager is aimed at helping the hungry in both states.

The Journal Express
---- — Robert A. Bingham, 20, was sentenced on charges of enticing a minor on Friday. Bingham pled guilty to the charges on Feb. 1. He was accused of having sexual contact with a 12-year-old girl, when he was also a minor. Prior to sentencing, the victim and her mother read impact statements.
"I could not believe what Robert had done to me," the victim said. She said she started turning away from her family and kept things inside. In her words, she "became someone else." She is still occasionally scared to be alone.
"Now, I'm not dealing with this alone," the victim said. "I am strong. I am loved."
The victim's mother described this incident as "an awful crime committed by a once-trusted family friend." When her daughter told her of the abuse, she called Bingham.
"As he cried on the other end of the phone, I asked him what he had to say for himself," she said. "I watched my daughter change right in front of me."
The mother described her anguish, as she struggled to find out how she could have missed the abuse. The crimes impacted her entire family.
"People who commit these crimes don't have it stamped on their forehead," she said. "(My daughter) will continue to heal and move on with the help of her family and friends."
The plea agreement Bingham, and his attorney, John Rigg, consented to included a recommendation by County Attorney Ed Bull for 10 years in prison, per count, to run consecutively, with financial obligations. Bull also recommended suspending the sentence in favor of five years' probation, registration as a sex offender, a no contact order and going through the sex offender treatment program.
"We believe sex offender treatment would be beneficial," Rigg said.
Bull told Judge Martha Mertz that the State felt this was appropriate, given Bingham's age and criminal history. He believes this provides the best possible opportunity for rehabilitation by the defendant, while protecting the public.
"I'm sorry for the actions that happened in the past," Bingham said.
Judges have the option to ignore plea agreements and hand down sentences within legal guidelines. Mertz followed the plea agreement when sentencing Bingham. She told the defendant that, even though he is avoiding prison for now, the probation guidelines as a sex offender would not be easy.
"That is the most difficult probation to complete," Mertz said. She stressed to him that if he failed to complete the recommendations of the probation, he will spend 20 years in prison.
"Based on the agreement...I find that's most appropriate for you," Mertz said. "We don't take these offenses lightly."
Bingham must also avoid all contact without anyone under age 18, unless he receives written permission from his probation officer. Mertz encouraged him to occupy himself with a job or furthering his education, and not to remain idle.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Randall Cobb takes big step; final hurdle awaits Friday
Green Bay - The Packers know that Aaron Rodgers will be back Sunday, but they still aren't sure about WR Randall Cobb, who remains on injured reserve due to a broken leg he suffered Oct. 13 against Baltimore.
Cobb apparently took a big step on Thursday during a full-pads workout with the rest of the team and will be evaluated Friday to see if he is ready to be activated to the 53-man roster. When he was put on injured reserve, it was with a designated-for-return tag that each team may apply to one player per year.
"I thought Randall had a very good day today," coach Mike McCarthy said after practice. "He was very positive at the end of practice, his evaluation (for) tomorrow and how we work him tomorrow. I feel a lot better now than probably I did this morning. He definitely took a step in that direction."
While there was optimism expressed about Cobb, the reality is that he just began running 2 1/2 weeks ago and has practiced four times since then. The Packers may be giving the Chicago Bears a little bit more to think about this week as much as they were doing anything, given the short amount of time the receiver has been back.
Cobb said he was "day-to-day," but acknowledged he took some significant strides during practice Thursday.
"Just the last couple of times I ran this week, I've had confidence in my knee in cutting and not thinking about it and just going out there and letting loose and (not) focusing in on, 'Oh, I'm cutting off this leg.' Now I'm just cutting it loose and I just communicated with him (McCarthy) how I felt in the moment and we'll take it from there."
The return of Cobb would be huge for the offense, but only if he resembles the guy who was leading the team in receptions when he got hurt against the Ravens. Cobb relies on short-area quickness and burst out of cuts to be effective, and given the limited time he has been back, he may need another week to get into sync.
At this point, there is no urgent need to push Cobb into action. Receivers Jordy Nelson and James Jones are healthy and playing well, and No. 4 receiver Jarrett Boykin has been performing like he's a starter. Cobb adds a dimension to the offense nobody else does, but aiming for a post-season return might be smarter.
Asked about his running mechanics and if there was evidence he was getting them to a performance level, Cobb said he was getting there and planned to verify his thoughts later in the day.
"You can definitely feel that," he said of whether he's running efficiently. "But you also want to look at yourself on film and see what you look at and know what you feel like."

Cobb was injured against the BengalsHide replies
My bad. It was the Ravens. I could have sworn it was the Bengals. Sorry, Tom
I'm trying to forget the Bengals game.
What Bengals game?
Just having Randall ready for war to come in on a some selected plays would make the bares D over-react a bit. 4 wides would be back on the menu!
Boykin has really stepped up. He's a keeper. But Cobb is the king (when 100%).Hide replies
It is always a good thing to have more playmakers.
YES Nelson Jones Boykin Cobb - I'll take that Group anyday. Packers must shore up D or we will lose Opportunity to SB's - like 2 or 3 over next SEVEN years while AR is in PRIME.
Is there any reason *not* to activate him? It's not like they'd have to sit somebody to have him up.Hide replies
I see no reason why he isn't active for the game. Obviously Friday will be the day, but it sounds promising.
Man i would love to win the coin toss and open with Lacy and AR in the backfield plus 4 wide with Cobb, Boykin, Jones and Nelson.
Giddyup.Hide replies
Bad decision.
Agreed; I would always want the defense on the field first, when emotions are high. Defense is better played borderline out-of-control, whereas Offense needs to be a little more circumspect.
Maybe have Chicago win the coin toss and they defer?
There is no such thing as circumspect in football, Marigold.....er, Clay.
GB has the pieces (potentially) in place to be an offensive Dynasty the next 3 or 4 years. Healthy and the Jermichael Finley contract/injury is a big key. He takes a ton of fan heat but he is really a nightmare for defenses to try and handle and he is so versatile. Anyone placing bets or odds on him being on the field at all or with GB next year?
Finley had a c3-c4 fusion same as Collins he's all done in GB IMO unfortunately.
The guy was playing like a top 5 TE..........Hell if he would have kept playing like that he'd be in the #1 TE conversation.
Agreed, but watch him show up in Atlanta. Packers can be too cautious at times. Why not play him. Injuries are part of the Game - Finley is a dynamite Player that is Game Changer.
Defer and put the defense on the field first?
Why spot Chicago 7 to open the game.
Just a flood of good news today.. The OL needs to play its best. Newhouse is absolutely not allowed to leave the pine for any reason other than to use the restroom, and refill the gatorade cooler.
Heads on swivels, boys - neither of those bones are ready to take a shot yet. I'm confident that will be drilled these next couple days.
agreed. This game is on the O line. They really blew the PIT game at the end. CHI is totally gashable if the O line shows up and brings the nasty. Rodgers won't have to carry the entire load, just hand the ball off and make a few throws. They need 30 plus pts, Chicago relies on deep balls to Marshall and Jeffery getting PI calls or just letting the WR's go up and make plays, like to see our DB's avoid the pass interference calls and play the ball well.
I'm sick of the O line pre snap penalties and holding calls, just do your jobs and don't get in the way of progress. Newhouse is a total liability and for some reason Barclay seems to have a few plays every game where he just completely falls apart.
Cobb's presence is HUGE, even if he isn't 100% he puts so much pressure on the safeties because of explosive ability in the middle of the field.
Lot of Chicago fans are really down on their team but I expect this game to be close, isn't every GB game close? except the Detroit game.
Gotta say, I won't yell at the TV and criticize Rodgers anymore if he misses a throw or holds the ball, after watching the offense without him, I have learned or I guess just clearly pictured how great he is at running this offense.
As glad as I am to have Rodgers back, I hope they sit Cobb at least one more week.Hide replies
We'll see but having Randall Cobb is like having Devin Hester.....gotta' account for him.....I realize our LB's are critical, but we coulkd put up 55 Pointa against these guy AND get a Home Game next week....Awesome Baby !!
Now we need our linebackers to get healthy. Forte could do some damage.
My prediction is they activate him since they have two available roster spots and use him on the field as a decoy, just to make the Bears pay attention, then go elsewhere with the ball. I don't think he'll be a major force. They'll be careful with him. Similarly with Rodgers, I see a heavy run attack with a lot of quick throw passes, leaving minimum exposure back in the pocket.

Served in a shaker pint glass at the brewpub.
Rockin' my way through the Piece oeuvre (or, at least, what's on tap this day). This selection pours a mostly clear russet-sienna topped by a finger of wan off-white foam. The nose comprises mild toffee, oak, earthy greens, and a hint of green apple skin way the hell in the background there. The taste brings in more of the same, with some more oak, a touch of both coffee and tea, and a bit more earthiness in everything involved. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fluid feel. Overall, a nice little rye ale, one that makes sure the rye doesn't dominate the proceedings (though it would have been nice to have a bit more spice in there...).

No worryin' here. This piece beer quills the palate as comfortably as putting on those favorite jeans. Masterfully balanced and flavored for high rate of enjoyment, this beer accompanies a wide array of food pairings and is characterful enough to stand on its own.
Pouring an almost-clear light copper color, the amber highlights casts quite an aspiring glow. Capped with an off-white froth, the beer shows solid retention and lace without overselling it.
Caramel and citrus play a harmonic tune to the olfactory senses with moderate malt richness pinned against notes of grapefruit and orange peel. Complementary notes of earthy grasses, spicy grain, estery fruits, and light butterscotch promise the notion that complex flavors reveal with each return to the glass.
Skillfully balanced, the beer seems inspired from stronger English bitters as the rich caramel sweetness hinges on toffee and serves as the introduction of tangerines for a rounded marmalade character. Spicy and broadly earthen rye emerges from the sweetness with just enough grainy bite to bridge into citrusy and earthy hops- white grapefruit, fresh cut grass, zested oranges, and shaven pine all work to balance the beer without overriding the firm malt base.
The beer's medium body is aided with ample carbonation to give the sweetness a lift from the mouth and providing a lightly expansive fullness to its weight. Lightening considerably at mid palate, the carbonation quickly dissipates and allows for fleeting malt, spicy grain, hop resins, and light woody dryness to crispen the beer at finish.
It's one of those beers that you mean to reflect upon and assess- concentrating on its taste, texture, and impressions. But before you know it you have an empty glass in front of you, assisted by good conversation and enjoyment of the friendly brewpub. So the only thing worryin' about is getting another.

Worryin' is a nice Rye. The rye is not prounounced, overly-spicy, or over-the-top. It is subtle as the beers and very refreshing. On a hot summer day this was ambery-brown with a little head. it was thirst-quenching without being watery or too light. I tried this with other samplers at the brewery.

Poured on tap at piece into a pint glass. Pours a nice dark brown color
Good malty aromas of caramel and toffee. lacking some depth and complexity in the aromas
medium bodied with a good feel and flavors of caramel, toffee and some malt flavors
This was a very drinkable beer, but lacking some real complexity and depth to it. A bit singular in both the aromas and flavors, but a good beer nonetheless

On tap at Piece Brewery, Chicago.
Appearance is dark yellow, almost brown. Smell is very malty and caramely. Taste is very sweet and biscuity. Not a bad session beer. Overall I'd recommend this beer, though I prefer the stout and hefe from this brewery.

Pours a moderate amber copper color with a light head and some lacing. The nose is light citrus and spice with a bit of caramel. Taste is similar with slight hops and rye. A good bit of spice with a light caramel and fruit backbone. Good feel and drinks quite well; a nice rye beer.

From the notebook, June 2009....
On tap at the brewery.
Copper topped with a off-white head. Sweet bread-like malts balanced balanced by a mild hops. Maybe a little of caramel.
Interesting enough to keep it from getting boring, but not so interesting to get tiresome after a few. This would make a great session beer.
Paired up nicely with a slice of the house za.

I had this on tap into a tasting glass at Piece. The beer is dark gold with an orange tint. The aroma is a typical esb with light carmelish generic hops. Taste is light caramel with alcohol and hops as well. Its really watery to drink and in general just pretty boring.

on tap at the brewpub in Chicago. pours a deep copper color with a half finger of eggshell colored head that has mild retention and leaves no lacings.
aroma is of light caramel malts and a touch of carmelized sugar. some dark fruit notes are in the background, along with a very light spice from the rye.
taste is of light caramel malts and a very light nutty character in the background. reminiscent of a nut brown with a semi-dry finish.
mouthfeel is medium bodied with a malty texture and a sticky aftertaste.
drinkability is decent. not much rye comes through in the end, but overall it still works well as a brown-esque ale.

Quarterback will take center stage for the Arizona Cardinals when they unveil their offseason objectives. Given the draft landscape could they cut some corners by stealing Joe Flacco from the Baltimore Ravens?
New England Patriots game a crossroads for Flacco and Ravens
Another season, another berth in the AFC championship. Since 2008, Joe Flacco has reached this hallowed game three times. It's a feat many great quarterbacks in history can't say but fans around the league still don't give him the credit. In their minds the Baltimore Ravens defense led by Ray Lewis and Ed Reed does the heavy lifting while Flacco reaps the rewards. Simply put until Flacco faces the elephant in the room, which is a Super Bowl trip, he won't have anybody but his teammates at his back. Championships change perspective in sports better than anything else. Flacco doesn't flash the numbers or any sort of style. All he does is win enough games to reach the playoffs and make plays to give his team a chance in the 4th quarter. He struggled for years to get by the Pittsburgh Steelers. When he finally did, another powerhouse rose to remind him of the cruel world of pro football. The New England Patriots robbed Flacco of his chance at a ring last season and look to do the same again. No one wants to admit it, but if Baltimore loses a third AFC title game it could force the team to make a calculated choice. For all the good Flacco does, he may not have what it takes to win a championship. That means free agency in March gets a lot more interesting.
Bruce Arians hire means NFL draft will go offense
Arizona doesn't have the luxury of questioning whether they're getting enough playoff success from their quarterback. Since Kurt Warner retired they haven't gotten close to the postseason and hit rock bottom in 2012 as an offense. Their offensive line couldn't block and their quarterbacks couldn't stay healthy. It was for that reason the team fired Ken Whisenhunt, and hopefully why they hired Bruce Arians. The former Colts offensive coordinator is a 60-year-old veteran with a championship background. He has a knack for grooming quarterbacks but most of all working with questionable lines. Adding him almost guarantees the Cardinals will focus their next NFL draft on the offensive side. The only lingering question is whether they will use the top pick on a quarterback. A lot can change before April but early signs show the class of passers scheduled to go pro aren't nearly as talented and polished as the 2012 group was. Free agency won't offer many solutions either since most of the proven quarterbacks are locked up with their teams. The only name sitting in a gray area is Flacco. His contract is up after the season. Common sense says the Ravens would have a new deal ready but that could change if he loses another championship game. At age 26 he is in his prime. To a team like Arizona he is just what they need.
Bruce Arians got an eyeful of Joe Flacco when he coached in Pittsburgh. He knows what the Baltimore Ravens quarterback can do. If the Arizona Cardinals have a shot at him in free agency, it's no surprise if they take it.

"Villa Alegria is a 5 star resort with a 7 star staff!"
"To everyone who makes the villa such a lovely place - thank you for such a wonderful stay. Your French hospitality was greatly appreciated and everything here in Provence deeply enjoyed. Beautiful weather, delicious food, great wine and wonderful memories! "
"We had a fabulous trip in every respect...Jessica and team Hosted Villas were so organized and kept us so well attended to. I have NEVER worked with any group more detailed or thorough and trustworthy. Our Hostess, Kim, was the difference maker for our trip - she made it carefree and awesome! We loved her, she never disappointed and definitely was the VIP of the trip! Thank you for your stellar organization."
"There are not enough superlatives to use when describing the Hosted Villas team. Our local host, Liz, sets the standard for excellence. She happily saw to every tiny detail and made our trip very special. From putting up streamers and balloons for our 7 year old's birthday to enlarging photographs and displaying them for our arrival in celebration of our 10th anniversary, Liz made us feel extremely special. We can't wait for our next adventure with Hosted Villas. For people like us with limited vacation time, it's hard to express how precious it is to know that every detail will be handled by your staff to make each day special for us. From pre-trip planning to fielding questions and handling last-minute details on the trip, the Hosted Villas staff were amazing. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!"
"Where do I begin?! This was the best family vacation we have ever taken! 17 of us, 9 children, 8 adults. Every year we plan a family trip during the summer. We have done European cruises, Hawaii, and other beach trips. We have always said he wanted to rent a castle in Scotland so when we saw this one, we knew it was perfect for our family!!
It is difficult to describe Meikloeur Castle & the grounds..."this surely must be what Heaven is like!" I am still in awe of such beauty, everywhere I looked! 'Breathtaking' does not begin to convey this place of majesty, grace, charm, solitude, elegance, peace, and even fantasy for our younger grandchildren. Not only in the castle itself, but in the forest outside! I can honestly say each and every one of our family had a perfectly wonderful time. This truly was the trip of a lifetime!
It is hard to know where to begin giving praise! It is hard to believe this was Janice's first time as Local Host, because she was fantastic! There is not a thing she missed, or could have done better! She was sweet, kind, knowledgeable and willing to do anything we asked or needed. She went above and beyond in making sure every moment of our stay was perfect! She (and Mark) were quintessence! We truly appreciate all the villa staff's kindness, graciousness, dedication and hard work, and their making us feel welcome and at home. We'll never forget them and their part in our Summer in Scotland 2012 trip, along with all of the precious memories we made that will last a lifetime."
"We had an amazing time. The villa is beautiful, as is the whole region. We enjoyed everything we did. Libbi is fantastic. We would all recommend this trip."
"Wendy knows a ton of fun places to visit - a conversation with her sure beats just thumbing through a guidebook
"We loved Pascha, our Local Host who was very knowledgeable and helpful. The care-takers, Angie and Trevor were excellent and made our daily life a joy. No request was regarded as inconvenient for them."
"We all had a great time in France. The villa in Beaumes De Venise was absolutely fantastic. Everything about it was superb. Marcel did a great job showing us around and taking good care of all six of us and Corrine was loved by all. She was always there when we needed something and then seemed to know how and when to disappear. "
"I'd like to thank you for making our summer trip to Chateau de Queynac such a special one. We absolutely loved both the trip and the exceptional service, responsiveness and general excellence of Hosted Villas's staff both in the office and on site. The Chateau was impeccable and I have already recommended you to several friends, and we look forward to using you for future vacations. Thank you again."
"We're back from our trip and pleased to report that Chateau de Queynac was fabulous. The house was truly lovely and the setting was exactly what we had hoped. This was an important family trip, celebrating my father's 75th birthday and it surpassed my expectations in every way. We had outstanding support from Jackie, our local host, throughout our stay. Perigord was enchanting -- we ate our body weight in foie gras and spent warm summer afternoons canoeing down the Dordogne with the kids. We picked Chanterelle mushrooms in the old-growth forest where we picnicked with Alistair after seeing the amazing polychromatic cave paintings at the Font de Gaumes. I could go on and on. I'm not sure it gets better than that.
Again, thank you so much for all of your help and support in preparation for the trip...Can't wait until next year. We're just debating which other home we rent from you!
After renting two homes now from your company, I am truly impressed not only by the wonderful support you provide, but by the exceptional standard of the homes you rent. Clearly, by working with you we are ensured the highest standard in homes and local support."
"We had a truly wonderful time at Campo dell"
"Thank you for all your help arranging our DREAM vacation! We had a wonderful time at Campo dell'Amato, so wonderful that we subsconsciously walked away with the spare key!... I want to tell you what a good host Liz was to us, as well as to our family and friends! She helped us on so many fronts, from touring around nearby towns, to taking us through local markets, to helping arrange dinners, babysitters, tennis, and even the next leg of my parents' trip down to Calabria! When she found out that John's sister, Marianne was pregnant (Marianne announced it to all of us during the trip), Liz gave Marianne a baby sweater that she had knitted and some booties - it really shows how much she cares about the guests. She is so friendly and fun to be with, and seems to know what we want before we even know:) Thanks again!"
"Your local people are a tremendous asset to your company. They were always available when we needed them, and seemed to anticipate when that would occur. Your Local Host was very helpful when it came to picking destinations for day trips, and seemed to know every back road and interesting site over a very wide areas; all of their suggestions were right on the mark"
"Dear Lauren -I had a long conversation yesterday with (client) and it appears that they had the most amazing time. As you had indicated, the photos of the villa did not do justice to the property and Teresa (housekeeper, cook) and Connie (Local Host) were fabulous. It seems this was the best family vacation they have ever had for a variety of reasons so a big thank you to you for your endless patience and efforts on behalf of the client."
"We had a lovely time at Domaine les Palmiers this week. Thank you! We liked the house a lot--very comfortable and casual. And the views were incomparable (here I am referring to the view of the sea, and not the people who were sunbathing on the nude beach :)). Of course, as always, it's your people that are your real asset. This case was no exception. Jeanne was wonderful. She was gracious, helpful, and well-informed. Please tell her that the bouillibaise at Chez Bernard, which she recommended, was a real hit with our family. We also enjoyed the tour that Hosted Villas and she provided of Le Castellet and the the Souviou winery--thanks again."
"...I realize that I indicated prior to our trip that our group consisted of seasoned European travelers, however, we could not have survived our two weeks without Jackie's assistance and knowledge. She is completely informed about the region and her suggestions for day trips were outstanding. Further, she has personal knowledge of restaurants within reasonable driving distance of our house, and without question, each reservation and appointment she made for our group exceeded all expectations… [she] became our 'good friend in France'."
"Elizabeth was exceptional in every way. She was thoughtful, helpful and lots of fun at all times. We actually felt like we might have utilized her too much "
"Thank you for all that you have done for us the past three weeks to make our stay in Cortona so special. Your helpfulness has run the gambit from the mundane: such as booking train tickets, shopping for our initial provisions and making dinner reservations; to the unusual: finding fly swatters, a great art teacher, a sweet babysitter and a charming cook who made fabulous food and taught us well; to the exceptional : finding the local cycling ride fro my husband, then finding the jersey he wanted and providing perfect directions, creating a gorgeous and quite delicious welcome buffet, making fabulous homemade lemoncello and taking the time to accompany my father and mother to the hospital.
There are numerous other things you did for us to ensure a pleasant vacation. I am ever so grateful to you. We'll always remember our stay here very fondly and hope to return soon. Warm regards"
"Our stay at La Casetta last week was outstanding. We are already talking about two weeks in the future. A substantial part of the success of our stay was our Local Host"
"I just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time at Casa Janine and to thank you and your team for putting together such a great experience for us and our friends. Oliva was absolutely fantastic and we found the entire Hosted Villas experience to be exactly what we were looking for but weren"
"Perfect for families. Very casual and relaxed. And what views! Lovely home--private but convenient."

For more than 20 years, Confluence has made a name for itself as the worldwide leader in providing automation solutions for the mutual fund administration sector. Powered by the Unity® Platform-the industry's first unified technology solution to automate all critical fund administration processes-Confluence serves 40 percent of leading global investment managers, with a 60-percent market share across U.S.-based mutual funds. Internal investment and a strategic focus on specific industry verticals continue to fuel the home-grown tech firm's expansion. To support its international growth, Confluence employs people across four locations –Pittsburgh, San Francisco, London and Luxembourg–with the majority working out of the company's North Shore headquarters.
Despite its growing international footprint and leading market position, the software innovator is intently focused on what it can give back to the community. In Pittsburgh, Confluence employees are heavily involved with several local community service organizations, including Gilda's Club Western
Pennsylvania, North Hills Community Outreach, Toys for Tots and the
Reading is Fundamental program. The company actively fosters an environment where service is encouraged, but doesn't force employees to get involved.
"Community service has always been an important part of Confluence's identity," Kirk Botula, President and COO, explained. "This commitment began with the founders of the company and has continued on with Confluence employees. While a service-oriented mentality was part of the founders' DNA, there has always been great value placed on each employee's autonomy when it comes to choosing community service activities.
"Though well-intended, we don't believe that coercive community service or signature company causes will get the outcome you desire. Employees have to be personally interested and invested in their service activities for the impact to be felt."
Carol Lennon, the Executive Director of Gilda's Club Western Pennsylvania, gushed about the tech company's involvement with the organization that provides support for people diagnosed with cancer and their families.
"Confluence provides a monumental amount of support to Gilda's Club," Lennon said. "What began as a relationship with one employee evolved into an amazing relationship with the entire company. Smaller companies like
Confluence understand our mission and rally behind it–some of our best
ambassadors are over at Confluence."
Botula pointed to the company's four core values as the key to its continued success and market leadership.
"We work hard to do what we say in terms of our corporate values, which are integrity, imagination, discipline and service," he said. "Our values are what differentiates us from our competitors and creates the kind of place where people want to work and be successful. These values are critical to every aspect of the company-from our investors and customers to our employees and especially the communities in which we live."

---- — PEABODY — The day police Chief Robert Champagne can begin his retirement comes nigh, according to Sen. Joan Lovely, D-Salem. She represents Peabody and is helping shepherd through the Legislature Mayor Ted Bettencourt's home-rule petition to remove both police and fire chiefs from Civil Service. The move, theoretically, gives the city more options when they pick a chief.
The needed home-rule petition passed the state Senate yesterday, Lovely said.
"We were able to turn it right around. ... I think in a couple of weeks, it will go to the governor's desk," she said.
It's already passed the House, but procedure requires it now to return to the House for another vote before heading back to the Senate.
"It's a very thorough process," the senator noted.
She praised Reps. Ted Speliotis, D-Danvers, and Leah Cole, R-Peabody.
"We work very closely together," Lovely said, adding that the mayor is kept informed.
Champagne, scheduled to retire at the end of May, is soldiering on, having agreed to stay as the gears of government grind. On the fire side, Chief Steve Pasdon recently punctured rumors that he has plans to leave anytime soon.
Go Gomez
If Peabody did the choosing, Gabriel Gomez and not Ed Markey would be the new U. S. senator from Massachusetts. The Cohasset Republican garnered 4,849 votes in the Leather City to 4,701 for his opponent.
The results did not escape the notice of Lovely. Noting past support for people like Scott Brown, she sees a possible trend toward a more conservative, Republican-friendly Peabody.
"That's why I'm glad I'm a more moderate Democrat," she said. "It will be interesting to see the next partisan election."
Pay day
Freedom isn't free.
Neither are elections. But that doesn't mean you can't get somebody else to pay for them.
Bettencourt tried to get permission to appoint an interim state representative following the death of Joyce Spiliotis last year. But Gov. Deval Patrick nixed the idea as lacking authorization from the Legislature.
What Peabody lost in legislative clout, however, it gained in dollars. Said Cole in a statement: "I heard about a bill that allowed for the salary that would have been collected by the former State Representative ... (to) be used towards the cost of the special election. ... I rolled up my sleeves and got to work with the House and the Treasury to make this a reality."
In other words, the city was awarded the $25,000 that would have been paid for a sitting representative. It's enough to cover the cost of the primary election on March 5, even leaving a bit for the final in April, according to City Clerk Tim Spanos.
"We appreciate the relief," Bettencourt said in a press release.
Get outta my house
When the School Committee rescheduled a recent meeting, it was because the schools were in use for Tuesday's U.S. Senate election.
"How ironic is that?" asked member Brandi Carpenter, currently seeking to bar the use of the schools for elections.
Her colleagues won't act, however, until city lawyers give an opinion on whether "we can force the issue," she said.
Carpenter lamented both the restrictions placed on the schools by the electoral machinery, as well as the dangers of flooding the buildings with strangers.
"Forcing the issue" would seem to mean telling the city to pack up its ballot boxes and go.
The Board of Registrars is expected to give its views shortly. Meanwhile, an alarmed Spanos believes barring the ballots will create inconvenience for taxpaying voters and cost substantially more than the current system.
Pole watchers
A contingent of Ledgewood residents might have gotten their hopes up attending the hearing on Total Outdoor Corp.'s Lowell Street billboard. Waiting for the case, they watched a drunken driver whose record stretches back to the 1980s get slapped with a prison sentence.
What's the penalty for putting a 92-foot pole in the wrong place? The court has the question under consideration.

PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh State men's basketball team resumes SUNY Athletic Conference play this weekend on a bit of a roll.
The Cardinals (7-2, 1-1) have won four games in a row and closed out a 6-1 nonconference portion of their schedule with a 63-47 victory at Middlebury College on Tuesday.
Head coach Tom Curle, however, doesn't put much stock in games that have already been played.
"I've said all along that anyone can beat us and we can beat anyone," he said. "If we come to play with great energy, enthusiasm and intensity, we're a good team."
Plattsburgh hosts Geneseo at 8 p.m. tonight and Brockport on Saturday at Memorial Hall.
While the Cardinals have played two conference games already, both on the road, the Knights and Golden Eagles have not played any. The two were supposed to play against one another on Tuesday, but the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
Geneseo and Brockport have had early-season success with 6-1 records against nonconference foes. In fact, SUNYAC teams have compiled a 44-27 overall record against teams outside the conference thus far.
"The SUNYAC has a lot of quality wins this year, some on a national level," Curle said. "It's a tough league — it's always been a tough league.
"I seem to say the same thing every year, but Geneseo and Brockport have such contrasting styles."
The Knights last played on Dec. 30 in an 80-66 win at Puget Sound. Geneseo is currently outscoring its opponents by an 85-69 average.
Gordon Lyons (17.7), Connor Fedge (13.4), Matt Curry (11.4) and James McKenna (10.6) are averaging in double figures.
"Geneseo went to Puget Sound and beat a good team," Curle said. "Lyons is shooting 67 percent from the field.
"They pass the ball instead of dribbling it and run a Princeton-style offense. They have power inside. They will try to slow you down by using a three-quarter-court press."
