Hurley International
|Subsidiary of Nike, Inc.
|Sportswear and Sports Equipment
|Costa Mesa, California, U.S.
|Key people
|Bob Hurley founder and chairman; Roger Wyett, CEO[2]
|Athletic shoes, clothes, hats sports equipment, accessories
Hurley is a clothing company located in Costa Mesa, California founded by Bob Hurley. The company puts emphasis on skateboarding, surfing, music, and "fun". Since 2002, Hurley has been owned by Nike, Inc.
Hurley was founded in 1979 by 23-year-old Bob Hurley (along with partner Bob Rowland and Business Manager Joe Knoernschild) as Hurley Surfboards/International Pro Designs (I.P.D.). Hurley worked for five years as a surf board shaper for various companies; including Lightning Bolt; Wind-an-Sea and Wave Tools. While becoming known as one of the premiere shapers in Southern California, Hurley licensed the U.S. rights to the up-and-coming Australian surf brand Billabong, and formed Billabong USA in 1983.[3] Founding partners in Billabong USA besides Hurley were Bob Rowland (General Partners), and as limited partners Chip Rowland, Mike Ochsner, Joe Knoernschild, Tom Fletcher and Bill Hurley. In 1998, the U.S. licensing rights for Billabong were up for renewal after the company had grown to over $70M in sales in America. The USA management team decided to not renew the USA license for Billabong USA and in 1999 Hurley International was born. Founding working partners of Billabong USA Hurley, Knoernschild, Ochsner and Bill Hurley transitioned over to Hurley International. Billabong USA's designer Lian Murray also became a partner with the newly created Hurley International.[citation needed]
On June 4, 2012, Nike announced that Bob Hurley would assume the interim CEO role at Hurley International, LLC. replacing Michael Egeck who has decided to leave the company.[4]
On May 12, 2002, the company was sold to Nike, Inc. for an undisclosed amount.[5] The brand maintains relative autonomy from its Nike parent[citation needed] and has its corporate headquarters in Costa Mesa, California, USA.
A major part of the company's success has been the endorsement of pop-punk bands such as Blink-182 and All Time Low. Furthering their involvement in the music industry, Hurley sponsors the heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold and reggae band The Green.

As a teenager in the 1970's, I was never a Beatles fan (I was more into the Stones), but some of John Lennon's post-Beatles music, such as "Mother" and "Imagine", made such a strong impression on me because they sounded like they were coming right out of his very personal inner self. But I was a bit too young then to know exactly what was going on politically. This book filled me in with the information on the cultural and political background in America that Lennon walks into at the time and vividly depicts how he lived through the period and influenced many people (to the point that Nixon was afraid of him). Sure, as a former Beatle, it was probably easier than anyone to make a difference in the world, but he didn't have to do any of the things he did. His attempts to get involved and make a difference even in the local community levels appeared sincere and are consistent with his music. I am glad someone wrote a book about this period of Lennon's life.
Before listening to "How Music Works", based on what I knew about his music (his Talking Heads days anyway; my favorite album was "Remain in Light"), I thought to myself: does he mean "How Modern Pop Music Works"? But after listening to it, I now think that the title is appropriate, at least up to the current period.
This book covers a wide range of topics, including: how the historical, social, and technological environment shaped the type of music; what he was feeling/thinking while going through the experience of making music with Talking Heads in the lower east side of New York City in the 70s and 80s; how different cultures and people influenced his music; the financial aspect of making music in the current music production environment, and more. I can tell that he is extremely well read, but his interpretation of cultural/social aspects of music is unique, I think. He is also a very good writer. I really enjoyed this book.
I only knew Tony Danza from the 1980's TV show "Taxi", but, through this book, I found out what a great guy he is. But more importantly, in this book, Tony Danza lets me peek at some of the real lives of the kids who attend a public school in Philadelphia. I never watched the cable TV "reality show" that was part of this, but I know this actor went much deeper than a role in the TV show. He stayed with the class after the TV show production ended, and he still keeps in touch with some of the students. It's really heat-breaking what some of these kids have to go through in their personal lives AND go through the high school life that is so important in determining their future. We all know how important education is, but most of us, including myself, tend to think "education" in rather abstract way. This book brought me back to the time when I went to a public school but also reminded me how important this short period can be in shaping the kids' future. For this, I now feel that high school teachers probably play more important roles than college professors do. We often hear about negative things about teachers in public schools, but, considering what they are up against, we don't give (at least many of) them enough credit. Tony Danza honestly describes what went through his mind during his interactions with the students and other teachers and admits his flaws, mistakes, and vulnerability. I could tell that Tony Danza himself had some great passionate teachers. He is a great narrator by the way. Many of the scenes made me cry (and I almost never cry listening to audiobooks).
Sure, I'd love to hear your story....
Like a lot of people, I was a bit surprised to learn this had beaten out some really famous and important works - - but after an hour, I know why. This story is like having the world's best coffee and donuts with your absolute best friend who is finally letting you in on all the secrets of her life. She's an amazing writer - - no kidding, just listen to her music. But just like that music, this is deeply personal, stunningly honest, painful and uplifting. Hearing this one, with Janis singing pieces of the story, allows you to be not a just a witness to her life, but a participant. Love this one.

A medical bag containing $578 in cash, a stethoscope and miscellaneous IDs were taken from a pickup parked in front of an Edmond home, police said.
During the evening of Sept. 28, Edmond Police Officer Roger Shortt responded to a call regarding an auto burglary in the 100 block of Rob Lane, according to an incident report filed by Shortt.
After he arrived, he spoke to the victim, who said on Sept. 27 she was given $578 in cash from an associate, put it in her "Tinbuk2" messenger-style bag and placed it in her pickup, police said.
She recalled going to the Crest grocery store at about 1 a.m. Sept. 28, and she still had the bag when she arrived at home a few minutes later, police said. She parked the truck in her driveway with the tailgate facing the garage.
At about 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 28, the victim's roommate noticed the glass sliding rear window on the truck's cab was open, police said. The victim searched the cab and realized the bag containing the cash and several other items was missing.
The victim said she did not think she was followed home from Crest and she did not notice anyone suspicious in the neighborhood when she parked the truck in her driveway, police said.
Only three people, who were not identified, knew about the money, police said.

GIRONA, Spain - Spain's first DoubleTree by Hilton hotel opened its doors this week, bringing a unique blend of contemporary upscale accommodation and traditional Catalan flavour to the Costa Brava.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Emporda features 87 guestrooms and offers a prime location for travelers looking to sample the delights of one of Spain's most popular tourist destinations. Not only is the hotel just a 10 minute drive away from the blissful Mediterranean sands of Begur beach but it also sits on site at the Emporda Golf Club.
Simon Vincent president, EMEA, Hilton Worldwide, said, "We are delighted to be bringing one of Europe's fastest growing hotel brands to Spain for the first time. The hotel's stunning green surrounds, excellent resort facilities and contemporary meeting spaces make it an ideal option for leisure and business travelers alike."
Set within one of Spain's most renowned tourism regions, Emporda is located in the province Girona on the Costa Brava. Here, opportunities for scuba diving and high octane water sports are interspersed with tranquil hideaways for those seeking complete relaxation. The coastline is home to many areas of natural beauty and biodiversity such as the historic Medes Islands, whilst the rich local cuisine sees the province boasting a wealth of Michelin-starred restaurants.
Rob Palleschi, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton, said, "At the end of a year which has seen a number of new DoubleTree by Hilton hotels open in exciting European destinations including; Zagreb, Croatia; Oradea, Romania; and three in London, it's exciting to be celebrating our first hotel in Spain. Already benefitting from an excellent reputation in the Spanish and international market, this vibrant, contemporary property is an excellent addition to our portfolio of diverse hotels in more than 25 countries."
Keen golfers visiting DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Emporda can stroll out on to two 18-hole courses set within the rolling dunes, glistening lakes and luscious greenery of Emporda Forest. Both courses were created by the award-winning golf course designer Robert von Hagge and offer a chance for golfers to enjoy one of Spain's most spectacular sporting experiences.
The hotel's stylish Links bar overlooking the golf courses makes for a perfect 19th hole for golfers retiring after a day spent out on the fairways. In addition, befitting its location in a region renowned for exemplary cuisine, the hotel's restaurant Tramuntana offers a range of dishes crafted by chef Guillem Lama with the finest local ingredients. An al fresco barbecue will also provide an informal dining option during the summer months, inviting guests to soak up the sunshine and take in the idyllic surrounding scenery.
Guests can also treat themselves to an experience of pure indulgence at the hotel's indoor pool and spa. Immersed in the stunning beauty of the Empordà landscape, the complex specializes in offering natural treatments such as its signature thermal water circuit designed to invigorate and refresh the senses.
The hotel also features a fitness centre, 24-hour business zone and five state-of-the-art meeting rooms. An ideal location for conferences and events, the facilities can accommodate 10-350 delegates, with views out on to the glorious surrounding scenery.
The picturesque medieval villages of Pals and Peratallada lie closest to the hotel, whilst the city of Girona (capital of the province bearing the same name), is easily accessible by car, with its city centre 36km from the resort. Girona-Costa Brava Airport runs flights to a variety of International destinations whilst regular trains and buses connect with the thriving Catalan capital of Barcelona.
Hilton Worldwide now operates six hotels in Spain with five Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties located in Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo and Palma, Mallorca. The arrival of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Emporda is set to be followed by a second hotel for the brand, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Conference Center La Mola, which is expected to open in early 2013.

Google Docs on-the-go from iPhone or iPad
Google has added some much awaited functionality to Google Docs today -- you can now edit your docs on-the-go with iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad!
The feature will be rolling out over the next few days and means that:
- You can work on that important memo...while on the bus or train to work.
- If you're behind on a group proposal, but really want to make it to the ball game tonight, your whole team can work on it from the bleacher seats.
- You can take minute-by-minute notes at a concert so you'll always remember the setlist. And your friends can jealously follow in real-time at home.
- ...and the list goes on!
If you utilize Google Docs all you have to do is visit docs.google.com in Safari on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and select the document you would like to edit. Once the document is open simply select the edit button and you will be switched over to their mobile editor.
Let us know if you are excited for the seemingly much anticipated feature and if you use it how it worked out for you!
Check out a video of Google Docs editing on-the-go in a video after the break!
There are 23 comments. Add yours.
Can't stand Google Docs, moved all my Google Docs to Pages on iDisk. Now all I need is Pages for iOS and I'm all set...
Good job google docs, I might drop my school work off on there
Finally! This is good stuff!
I have been waiting for this functionality. Thank goodness I can stick with an iPhone to accomplish it.
I've personally been waiting for this for a long, long time. Great news!
I've been waiting for this feature for a long time now. Glad to see that they've finally got it going. It seems like it's a little more complicated than necessary though. Why not just turn the whole document into a text file instead of creating small editable boxes when you click an area?
Not sure how long this will take to "roll out" but it looks as clunky as it did before.
Also, it is annoying to keep reading hay we can't edit Google Docs from our browsers when, in reality, we have been able to do so since the days I bought my Pre and my iPhone. It ain't fun, but it IS possible.
"Now" is not "in a few days". As I recall, the announcement in September said something like "next month". I'll be interested when "now" is actually "now". Until then, it's not even worth reporting, much less reporting inaccurately.
I haven't gotten it yet, but it's about time. I'm getting tired of having to do stuff in Dropbox or Evernote that I should be able to do in Google Docs. This will be a good first step, and I'm sure it will get better in time.
OMG Robert! You're the best! How awesome of you to point that out! You are so awesome. I wish I could be as awesome as Robert! Yeah!
Yay! Now I can finally dump that clunky Pages app on my iPad for good!
Oh. That explains why i could do it lol.
Am I missing something. I've be editing Google doc spreadsheets for a long time. It's just done line by line.
Hello Microsoft? Word for iOS? Please.
I will ban this option.
Thanks for the useful post! I would not have found this myself!
While it's awesome tgat I can finally edit my google docs and just now found this out, something seems off. For some reason only some of my hundreds of documents are editable. New ones, old ones, long, short, uploaded, converted or created in site. It's almost random which show an edit button and which don't. I just created a new document today at home and can't edit it from the iphone. The icons look slightly different, but there's no explanation anywhere I can find in the help section for what the different icons mean or why those can be edited and not others. What gives??
Still not rolled out on December 8th? No EDIT button on my Google docs page.
What edit button ??
Finally that was agreat addition to google docs it compliments the user with the most expected addition of an ms office user, great job google
Google docs really sucks. I can't get it to have a proper output for printer to present to my clients. It lacks on serious editing capabilities. I can't even put a bibliography or references in it. I don't get all this hype about google docs. I guess everybody has been drinking google kool-aid.
Good news for all of us ! However, some people are having a problem using google docs in general. I suggest using collatebox ! You must try it out as an alternative ! View the full details at http://www.collatebox.com

A-Rod, Boras in a fightBy
I didn't watch A-Rod's 60 Minutes appearance last night. I instead subjected myself to an 18-for-52 performance by Eli Manning. Based on the news stories, it seems as though A-Rod had a few choice sound bites.
My favorite, of course, is word of the Boras-Rodriguez Cold War. A-Rod and his agent of 16 years are no longer talking, A-Rod admitted last night. The Yankees' $275-million negotiated his own contract this time around, and that after the opt-out debacle the two are on pretty bad terms.
Interestingly, A-Rod admitted that he agreed to Boras' plan to opt-out but thought it would be handled differently. He wasn't too happy to see the announcement during the end of Game 4 of the World Series. "When I realized things were going haywire, at that point I said, 'Wait a minute, I've got to be accountable for my own life. This is not going the way I wanted it to go,' so I got behind the wheel," he said.
To return to the Yanks, A-Rod had to leave Scott Boras out of the negotiations, and so he did. It's interesting stuff from A-Rod and a clear sign that Scott Boras did indeed lose this round even if A-Rod won himself a huge contract.
32 Comments»
oh ya he lost this round all the way to the bank with his cut of the deal
This is a stupid question but I wanna ask anyways.
Why was the opt out official when Boras made the annoucement to the world?
Though Boras represents A-Rod, if A-Rod had jumped right out the next day and say he didn't want to opt-out, would what Boras had said counted?
And is this how opt-outs work? You don't do it formally like when you're signing a contract (sitting with the front office, signing papers)?
Plus, Game 4 of the WS happened on a Sunday, and the negative reaction started that night but intensified later (Monday, Tuesday, etc.).
It's perfectly likely that Boras sent in the documents first thing Monday morning, at which time A-Rod may have been stunned, but he hadn't reacted yet (phrased differently, I think A-Rod is compression his timeline a little, here).
Then it's very likely he's telling the truth.
I think I'm getting some of my respect and fondness for him back.
Thank God, he's finally being his own man. Hopefully, it continues.
Can anyone tell me why he still retained Boras as his agent? If Arod is so upset with Boras to the point where they are no longer talking, why the hell would he allow Boras to take his 15 million cut from a deal he didnt even negotiate.
The only thing i can think of is loyalty – Arod feels bad firing Boras since Boras negotiated his previous astronomical contracts and earned him a ton of money. That aside, Boras nearly ruined Arod's image permanently. If it was me, i would have fired his ass and kept the 15 million for myself.
Re Alex not firing Boras:
Supposedly Alex said that because this would be his last contract there was no point in firing Boras. Scott was getting his cut of the deal no matter what as he would have sued Alex just like he did Sheff if Alex tried to not pay him.
Whether you believe that or not is another story, but I do feel that Alex has a lot of fatherly-type loyalty to Boras and that he didn't have it in him to dump Scott outright. Instead, he chose to publicly scold him. Curious.
A-Rod has fooled everyone, in my humble opinion. Think about this….. what if Boras told him, "Don't call me for 6 months"? That would not surprise me at all…Like Lloyd says, why would he let him take his cut, and continue to be his agent? He is the most powerful man in sports, and could have any agent he wants. I just didn't buy it. His rep was tarnished so much with the fallout from the opt-out, this is all he could do to try and repair it. What Boras did was huge in hurting A-Rod, big enough to be fired. But hey, maybe A-Rod did the Yankee thing by upstaging the Sox in their clinching game. For that, I was happy.
you can't just deny Boras his commission. that's not really how it works.
I'm pretty sure Boras would drag ARod's ass through every court in the country if Alex tried to fire him and skip out on the commission. The man doesn't strike me as some who would just sigh, hang his head and walk off.
But what role would he have had in the new contract? If he fired him, hired another agent, had the new agent hammer out every detail of the new contract, what role would Boras have played? I don't think Kenny Rogers even hired another agent after firing Boras, but Alex definetely would need to. Like he said last night, he is a baseball player, and that is it. Not a good guy, not a faithful husband, not an October baseball player.
Yankeemonkey, you're right. A-Rod could not have extricated himself from Boras easily, and whether it is a ploy or not, the only way A-Rod could quickly endear and re-engrain himself with the fanbase is by saying that he and Boras are no longer talking, yadda yadda. I don't believe that. Perhaps they aren't "talking," because why now would they need to? While Boras certainly did mess up, I have to believe A-Rod and he locked heads for a while about what to do after the fallout, time is being compressed in a recollection of "what happened," and A-Rod and Boras must have decided that Boras can be the lone bad guy. If A-Rod continues to be the bad guy alongside Boras, then the near future is significantly more awkward for him. Now, as it is, we can embrace A-Rod as the guy who is a) steroid-free and b) taking charge of things he has been heretofore controlled by. On both counts there is more than an element of truth–they are true–but to think that A-Rod was not complicit with Boras' plan before, and now, is to succumb to a publicly sold message. Not that I know for sure or anything, but right now that's what it looks like.
Personally, I couldn't care less: A-Rod is great for the Yankees, and his bit at the end of the interview was pretty telling. Something like "At the end of the day I am paid to play baseball, and I think I do a pretty good job of that." That is an undisguised way of saying "if people don't like me because I'm not the perfect politician, husband, negotiator, human being, etc., who gives a crap? I'm a good baseball player and that's what I'm being rewarded for here."
Everyone already knows that Alex is a Grade A bullshitter, so I take anything that he says with a (very large) grain of salt. That being said, if he is being honest about finally becoming his own man, than good for him and I applaud him for it. If he is being less than truthful, well that is just more of the status quo.
I don't buy it. They had a plan for awhile to opt out, and I'm sure this little spat has been cleverly orchestrated by Boras himself for positive A-Rod press.
No doubt, he's (Boras) earning his money, that's for sure…
w/o knowing all the details, it seems that boras would have been legally entitled to a commission even if a-rod fired him as of the game 4 WS disclosure. boras had been handling a-rod's case for a while to that point, so if a-rod fired him that late in the game, then hammered out the deal on his own, boras likely could sue for his fee (or a portion of it). not that anyone would want to deal w/ that lawsuit.
i'm not convinced that this whole "i'm not talking to boras" thing isn't just a put on. a-rod gets his deal and repairs his PR image; boras gets his cut; the yanks get their man all the way to cooperstown. everyone goes home happy. sure, boras doesn't look so good, but what does he really lose? i don't see him getting fired by a single player across the league. he's still considered the top bottom-line agent in the sport, as far as i can tell. and he probably made 8 figures on this deal. not a bad month.
actually Boras did get fired by Kenny Rogers, but i dont think he's crying over that.
The only way it makes sense is if you think about it as a CYA move.
A-Rod needs to realize that there is only one way for him to be popular: win playoff games. If he carries them through a few tough post-season games, everything will change. Here's hoping.
after watching 60 minutes, i've come to two conclusions, 1. Arod is just too damn pretty . 2. cheating is cheating, whether it be on your wife or on the diamond. for arod to say hes disappointed about the yankees steroids claims, he should look in the mirror.
that's kindof silly.
cheating on his wife is absolutely none of our business.
cheating in baseball should be all we have access to.
how about cheating on your taxes? is Jeter now a "cheater"?
give me a break. wake me up when Yankee fans start holding Mickey Mantle to the same standard.
This whole story about poor innocent Arod is such a farce. The truth is he found out there was no one close to paying him what the Yanks offered. They needed some way to come back to the Yanks. Arod isn't so stupid as to believe everything boras says despite the written reports of the Yankees offers.
In addition, claiming he had no idea about the timing of the opt-out announcement is a joke. He only was upset that everyone thought he was an arrogant jerk, not that it was timed so poorly.
And, it's been well documented that Boras negotiated the contract after Arod called hank. It's BS that they're not talking.
finally, i thought he was a jerk to say he'd be disappointed if the steroid claims made by his teammates were true. Good old perfect Arod.
finally, i thought he was a jerk to say he'd be disappointed if the steroid claims made by his teammates were true. Good old perfect Arod.
i guess Mo is a jerk too:
Rivera was surprised to hear Pettitte was included last week in the report with Roger Clemens and several others on the Yankees teams that won four World Series titles from 1996-2000.
Pettitte later said he used HGH while he was on the disabled list during the 2002 season.
"It was definitely the wrong thing to do," Rivera said.
That wasn't the only thing Mo said…
"The thing that I admire is that he came out and said he did it,"
"I might have done the same thing. Who knows?" Rivera said.
The truth is he found out there was no one close to paying him what the Yanks offered.
really, that's the "truth"? sounds exactly like an opinion to me.
I didn't read about one team that expressed interest in paying him more than the Yanks. Did you?
is that how you would define something as the "truth"? because you didn't read it?
there are 2 opposing views: yours, and A-Rod's version.
in A-Rod's version he came back to the yankees almost right away.
he didn't wait for Boras to do what he always does, which is to stretch out the process, build up a market for his client, play one party against another, then almost always come away with a big contract. what big Boras FA client has ever signed within 2 weeks of the end of the season?
A-Rod came back to the Yankees a week before anyone even knew about they were talking.
i am not saying that A-Rod didn't come back because the Yankees were going to pay him a lot of money. i'm not that naive. of course he wanted to get paid.
but i disagree that it is now somehow a given FACT that A-Rod went to all the other teams, got everyone's final offer weeks before the winter meetings, then came crawling back to the Yankees.
that is clearly your OPINION of what you THINK happened.
I think in Spring Training A-Rod will finally admit that he and Boras don't do sleepovers like they used to do when he was 16….yikes.
No matter what he does, he can't win with some people.
One thing I think everyone is forgetting is the advantage that Boras brings as an agent. Bores has video of literally every game from the passed 4-5? years and keeps a huge database for stats and everything baseball related. Arod may be thinking that this stuff is still useful to him, and knows that if he fired him he could no longer use it. Boras would get the money no matter what, so it's not like firing him would actually accomplish anything. Arod's probably mad at Boras, but being mad doesn't usually last forever. Also to all those people who think Arod wasn't going to get the money anywhere, you seriously have no knowlage of the FA market. For all those FA getting absurd amounts of money, (Hunter 18 mil a year), do you really think no team would go for Arod at 28-30 mil? Teams would pay 300/10 for him, and it's ridiculous to think they wouldn't. When Jose Guillen and Mike Lowell combine to make 25 mil, are you really thinking Arod alone would get less?

AUSTINBURG — A leader is someone who guides others toward a common goal and helps those around him make positive choices. A leader makes good decisions, is organized, focused, decisive and confident. People look up to and follow leaders; they are passionate about what they do and willing to share information.
Over the past two years, Grand River Academy has had luncheons on campus with prominent figures in the regional community. These luncheons consist of the local leaders expounding on information about their fields and careers. They describe how they got to the place where they are, the obstacles they had to overcome, and even what they would do differently.
These luncheons are held at The Bud Field Student Center once every few months. This program, which is known as "Lunch with a Leader," allows senior Grand River Academy students to learn what the interview process is like, how to form a résumé, what to say at an interview. Future programs will talk about the value of budgeting and banking as well as the value of community service and entrepreneurship.
Most recently, Grand River Academy had the pleasure of having Kevin Miller, chief executive officer of the Ashtabula County Medical Center, speak at one of the luncheons. Twenty seniors along with some staff members had lunch and listened to Mr. Miller share some of his thoughts on how to make the best impression in a job interview. Mr. Miller advised students on how to conduct oneself at an interview as well as what to expect. He passed out an informative packet that dealt with the interview process to all of the students. Mr. Miller gave really valuable advice to the students, and he stressed how important community service and internships are on a résumé.
GRA seniors also had the pleasure of meeting George Milbourn, who owned COE Manufacturing in Painesville. He is the chairman of the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation. Mr. Milbourn talked to seniors about finding their strengths.

Looking for vacation ideas from Chicago where you can get away and relax and unwind from the daily grind of living in a big city? Check out our list of scenic fall drives near Chicago. We will be updating this list frequently so check back often for ideas on where you can travel to within the Midwest for a weekend of autumn bliss.
MICHIGAN - HARBOR COUNTRY/BERRIEN COUNTY (Distance from Chicago: 71 miles to New Buffalo): Once the only way to get from Chicago to Detroit, U.S. Highway 12 through New Buffalo and Three Oaks now is one of the preferred routes in Michigan to see the leaves changing.
In the fall, visitors to Harbor Country -- officially New Buffalo, Union Pier, Three Oaks, Lakeside, Grand Beach, Michiana, Harbert and Sawyer -- and the rest of Berrien County, in the state's extreme southwest, turn inland. The sugary-soft sand beaches on Lake Michigan lead to colorful, gentle hills of maple, oak, beech, birch and ash trees -- with wineries, pumpkin farms and apple orchards too.
For a picture-perfect autumn color scene, visit Warren Woods State Park. Because this area was never developed, it is filled with virgin timber reminiscent of what Revolutionary War-era America might have looked like. (Worth reading: Halloween Events in Chicago and Buy a Halloween Costume at Chicago's Halloween Express
When the time comes to take a break from leaf hunting, have a truffle at the Chocolate Garden in Coloma. These hand-made creations are rolled in coarse chocolate, with flavors from mint and hazelnut to a new red-wine. In Buchanan, the Tabor Hill Winery and Restaurant is worth a stop, especially at the end of the day when dinner is served overlooking the colorful countryside.
In Eau Claire, Tree-Mendus Fruit in Eau Claire has 200 varieties of apples ready for the picking, along with apricots, cherries, nectarines, plums, pears and peaches.
But no fall foliage trip is complete without a pumpkin -- or at least a hayride. A good spot for both: Jollay Orchards in Coloma.
Harbor Country (269-469-5409) is just around the tip of the lake, off U.S. Highway 12 or Interstate Highway 94, where Indiana stops and Michigan begins. For Berrien County and nearby areas, contact the Southwestern Michigan Tourist Council (269-925-6301).
ILLINOIS RIVER ROAD (Distance from Chicago: 84 miles to Ottawa, 200 miles to Havana): Fall color comes with history on the Illinois River Road National Scenic Byway between Ottawa and Havana.
For much of the route, Illinois Highway 29 on one side and Illinois Highway 26 on the other parallel the river as it passes through wetlands harboring waterfowl and fields of prairie grass beneath the rocky bluffs it long ago created.
It's a sensational place to see the cottonwoods, willows, oaks, maples, ashes and walnuts change colors.
But the valley also has 12,000 years of human history, stretching back to the Paleo-Indians (check it out at the Dickson Mounds National Historic Site, near Lewistown). More recently, voyageurs Pere Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet ascended the river in 1673. (Worth reading: Holidays at Chicago's Shedd Aquairum and Holiday Decorating Ideas)
Three of the best locations for taking fall color photos are in Peoria: 21/2-mile Grandview Drive, the Forest Park Nature Center and Detweiller Park. Other prime photo spots include Starved Rock State Park, near Ottawa, and the Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge, near Havana.
Orchards and apples are a big part of the fall scene. Try the made-fresh-daily apple cider doughnuts at Tanners Orchard in Speer, west of the river and north of Peoria, and the apple dumplings at Orchard Hill Farm, in Lewiston.
To get to the Illinois River Road area (309-495-5909), take Interstate Highway 80 west to Ottawa. From there, Illinois Highway 71 will take you past Starved Rock and on to Illinois 29 and 26 -- though there are many other roads that are part of the Illinois River Road National Scenic Byway.
WISCONSIN - GREEN COUNTY (Distance from Chicago: 130 miles to Monroe): A hidden gem in Wisconsin is Green County, where rolling hills not only showcase pretty farmsteads (this rustic county claims it has more dairy cows than people), but also burst with the fall colors of sugar maple, white ash, red oak and hickory trees.
Some of the best routes for catching the changing colors include Park Road, near Brodhead; Holstein Prairie Road, northwest of Monroe; County Highway A, also northwest of Monroe; and Wisconsin Highway 59, east from Monroe to Albany. For the perfect photo, stop at the Albany Dam on the Sugar River early in the morning, when the sun shining over the water reflects the brilliant fall colors.
For the adventurous, the Bike Green County package includes overnight accommodations, breakfast, personalized biking routes, luggage transfers, snacks and drinks, and emergency road support.
Green County mixes small-town Americana with all things Swiss -- Norman Rockwell and Heidi might both feel at home here -- including the country's only giant Swiss cheese wheel (weighing 125 pounds), made at the Edelweiss Creamery in Monroe.
Other Swiss finds -- all in the seemingly Alpine village of New Glarus -- include the Chalet Landhaus Inn, traditional artisan breads at the New Glarus Bakery, cheese fondue at the New Glarus Hotel, and addictive butter cream fudge at the Maple Leaf Cheese and Chocolate Haus, which also specializes in cheese made exclusively from the milk of Brown Swiss cows.
But no trip to Green County is complete until you've tried a limburger cheese sandwich; Green County has the only limburger factory in the U.S. Best bet: Baumgartner's, in Monroe, where the pungent cheese is served on light rye with brown mustard and a slice of onion.
Green County( 888-222-9111) is easy to find. From Chicago, take Interstate Highway 90 past Rockford to the state border, then Wisconsin Highway 81 west from Beloit (Worth reading: Thanksgiving Wines and Thanksgiving Recipes)

Staff Reports
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Niagara County fire investigators are looking into the cause of a fire early Monday that destroyed a garage on Haight Road in the Town of Somerset.
According to a report from the Niagara County Sheriff's Office, a homeowner was heard three explosions around 5:16 a.m. and when she investigated, she could see smoke and fire coming from the back of the garage.
The woman woke up her husband R. and called 911. The husband removed a classic car from the garage, located at 9782 Haight Road.
The man told a deputy that he had not used any of the equipment in the garage in the last day, and he stated there were no electrical problems in the garage that he was aware of.
Barker firefighters extinguished the blaze. Damage to the 20-by-50-foot structure is estimated at $65,000.

Nearly 200 Evanston residents have had their hand in fundraising more than $45,000 to fight cancer as part of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
These efforts culminate tonight, at 6 p.m., with "participants [walking] the track at Evanston Township High School overnight (to remind everyone that cancer doesn't sleep); honoring survivors, remembering those that lost their battle with cancer and taking a stand against the disease," acording to a press release from Mike Stern, broker with the Evanston Downtown office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, who works with American Cancer Society to raise awareness and funding.
Stern will be representing The Rose Warriors during the walk, one of 27 teams who've participated in raising money for the event hosted at Evanston Township High School's Fieldhouse. Stern's team is in honor of Rose, a local real estate agent who was diagnosed with cancer in 2010.
"Since Rose was diagnosed, three friends ,Doug, Julie & Shawn, lost their battles with cancer and another, Jeff, made great strides fighting his cancer," Stern wrote in the team's Relay for Life page.
This year Stern and his fellow teammates have raised a record $12,676 for the event. But the bigger reward, he said, is watching Rose tackle cancer.
"We are honored to have Rose and three family members on our team this year and look forward to making this year's event even better than last year." Stern told Patch in an email, "We only hope that lightning will strike twice for The Rose Warriors: breaking records raising funds and awareness and supporting the people and community that mean so much to us."
Registration for tonight's event begins at 4 p.m. Share your Relay for Life photos with Patch on Facebook.

Mosts. There are now 20 female CEOs running America's largest companies. That paltry number (4%) is actually a record. And more than half–11–landed the top job between 2011 and 2012. Firsts. IBM IBM bucked its 100 year track record and this year appointed a woman, Ginni Rometty, to lead the company. Wal-Mart appointed Rosalind Brewer as its first woman and first African-American to head a subsidiary company, Sam's Club.
What's striking is that the mosts and firsts are coming fast and furious. This year's FORBES Power Women list includes six brand new chiefs: Marissa Mayer at Yahoo Yahoo!, HP's Meg Whitman, Maria das Gracas Silva Foster of Brazil's Petrobras, Sheri McCoy at Avon and Time Inc.'s Laura Lang, plus Rometty and Brewer.
The five newcomer CEOs captured in the accompanying photo gallery (click on top) are card-carrying game changers in the Mosts and Firsts club. Leading some of the nation's major companies, they rule over $36.6 billion in revenues. We would like to thank Heather Bresch of Mylan, Gracia Martore of Gannett, Denise Morrison of Campbell Soup, Deanna Mulligan of Guardian Life and Debra Reed of Sempra Energy for taking time out of their busy schedules to be a part of this statement on power women, what we headlined in the magazine as, "The Many Marissa Mayers." The Girl Scouts' ToGetHerThere campaign was the inspiration.
Their industries range from media to pharma and insurance, and their products help make our houses homes. Each trekked a different path to the top job (they talk about variations of hard work, mentors and confidence) but collectively they showcase how women are now, finally, making the C-Suite.

This is a very impressive project, very well done.
Having worked for women during much of my career I am delighted to see the increase in female CEOs. We need more senior female executives in all facets of our economy.
Thanks for a very enlightening project.
its great to see women leading the business rein…
This is a great article, I particularily liked the mention about the CEO of Avon, as this is a company that started very modestly much like my own, thanks so much Caroline for writing such an informative and uplifting article, it gives someone like me a lot of inspiration and the courage to keep going! Thanks for the encouragement.
Great topic and headline. The article was a bit brief and I would love to have learned about what is causing this shift and to have read some personal perspectives from these women and what that means for the rest of us women in leadership. This is the first time in the history of the world that so many women are leaders either in the corporate world and in small business. This is a very important topic.
Hi Caroline,
do you have the link to the statistic regarding the 4% figure of women CEOs in Big companies?
I am writing an essay about this, would be great if you can point me to the right direction.
Good article, Caroline! Where is the list of all 20 women? I was looking for the compiled list of just the Female CEO's. I was expecting Ursula Burns, CEO and Chairman of board- 23.3 billion in sales highlighted up front.

Plymouth Grand Voyager
My transaxle ssems to have an issue. Perhaps someone can help. It will not go up hills or inclines nor will it it want to climb from a parked position on an incline. If it sit for a couple of hours its fine for a couple of tries then doesn't want to go up. It is fine on Flat surface roads/freeways and is fine in reverse on flat or inclined roadways. Fluid level is fine and clean. I had the system flushed in May, two bolts on the pan were recently loose, causing a leak and were re-tightend. Any ideas?
abdul54 Posts: 1hi I have this problem if some can help me, thanks

sadamsrn Posts: 1Hi,
Had similar problem with a 99 G.V. with the 3.3 engine. Turned out to be a connector to a line that went to the rear heat system. $150.00 for the part. Spent $500.00 for that and other work back in Feb. 2 weeks later, someone cuts in front of my wife and van is totaled. (sorry about, needed to vent!)
Anyway, help this helps. Good luck!

mmetts Posts: 1I have a 2000 grand voyager it seems lately that after awhile of driving and it is very warm out the van wouldn't start. My mechanic showed on how to start it under the hood by the relay switch I am wondering what could be wrong with it the mechanic told me it might be the ignition switch but it will be very expensive to fix. I don't want to fix it if that isn't the problem does anyone have any other ideas.
xrman55 Posts: 1I have a 95 Grand Voyager. Some time back, the finger grasp on the hood release broke. Since then, I've been using a channel lock to pull on the wire & trip the release. as you might suspect, the wire has become frayed & it has become almost impossible to open - not a good position to be in with a 12 y/o vehicle.
Is this a difficult fix? Are the parts available? Does it need to go to a dealer? I know that would be expensive. Any help would be appreciated.
edlawson Posts: 1I have the same problem. I have navigated the web for a replacement part with no avail. I would go to a dealer and ask them to order one for me but I retired and brought the 93 GV to Panama and there are no agencies here. If you find a place that has the handle please let me know to order it. If a Chrysler dealer can get you one please get me their email so I can order one myself.
Good luck!!
hmowner Posts: 23Any recommendation regarding when to replace the timing chain?
I have a '99 Grand Voyager with 105K miles. So far, the engine is smooth, and I haven't heard any abnormal noise from the engine. A quote from a dealer to replace the timing chain, water pump, and other belts is around $1000. I don't want to spend extra $$ for this van as I only expect it to last 2 more years at best.
intraspec Posts: 2I just bought a 1998 plymouth voyager and the transmission doesn't shift properly.
It shifts ok when taking off but once it goes through all the gears it will down shift and stay like that until I
come to a stop and then it starts all over again.
Sometimes it will shift normally while getting on the highway but then downshift and stay there
but then nothing it's like it's in neutral what can this be???
mackmack Posts: 1My van is a 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager with 118,000 miles. It has a 3.3L engine with an automatic 3 speed transmission. The problem does not create any strange smell or sound. I have a minor oil leak from the pan gasket - unrelated to current problem. The problem is as follows: in March of 2007 we had the transmission fluid changed (completely a maintenance item, no problem existed at the time). Two days later on a family trip while traveling on the highway we noticed the transmission goes into limp mode (staying in second gear). Along with this was the "service engine soon" light. Have had the car looked at and no obvious cause and it appears that there are no mechanical problems. Recently within the last two months, this limp mode seems to be occurring more and more often. The limp mode condition is reset when the ignition is turned off and the car is restarted. November 4th, had error codes read from computer and they are P0700 and P1776. I would like any suggestion on what could be causing the problem. I am considering 4 possibilities: 1. wrong transmission fluid (at service they put in dextron plus additive), 2. one or both of the speed sensors, 3. transmission control module, 4. solenoid assembly. I am open to any and all considerations, thank you.
steven425 Posts: 1I have a 1997 Plymouth grand Voyager with a 3.3 engine the problem I`m having is the lights on the wiper buttons the airconditioning button and the air recirc. buttons are flashing. I heard that there is a way to reset these so they wont flash anymore, any help would be appreciated.
ccreeknash Posts: 1sorry to bother you but i have some of the same problems. did you get a response on this and i could use some help for the past 3 years i have had problems and spent between 800 and 1500 each time and it is killing me. and it still is not fixed. i even changed the entire transmission. still have the service engine light coming on with transmission codes.
thanks harris mueller
imprezaboy Posts: 1Hi i have a 99 voyager
In the last 2 months when ever the weather got cold the transmission started to not work the it should when you put it in reverse and then go forward it just stalls you could be accelerating all you want and just sits there. So for now we reverse park onto the drive way so that we don't need to go backwards because it does go forwards at first but when you put it back to reverse and the engine is still cold it doesn't go forward until you put it in gear 1 or 2.
Can someone please help me and tell me why this is happening?

The Sussex teenager who pleaded guilty to two felonies stemming from a sexual assault of a six-year-old girl will be sentenced at the end of January, according to the state's criminal court database.
Daniel Koepke, 18, will be sentenced in a Washington County Circuit Court during the afternoon of Jan. 24. Koepke was found guilty of one count of causing a child under 13 to view or listen to sexual activity and one count of incest earlier this month.
Koepke has yet to be entered into the state's sex offender database, according a check of the database on Thursday.
Koepke faces up to 12 1/2 years of imprisonment and a $25,000 for the first charge and up to 40 years of imprisonment and a $100,000 fine for the second charge.
The court ordered a felony charge of first degree sexual assault of a child and a felony charge exposing genitals or pubic area to be dismissed but read in to the record.
"The court recognizes that there is some disagreement regarding who initiated the removal of clothes," said Judge Andrew Gonring during the plea hearing, according to the Sussex Sun.
Koepke was accused of masturbating in front of the victim and touching her inappropriately, according to the criminal complaint.
The case drew the attention of the Sussex community during the past few weeks after when it was reveled that the school district was unaware of the court proceedings until Nov. 6.
Koepke stopped attending classes at the high school earlier this after the district "worked out a cooperative arrangement with the individual," according to district spokeswoman Denise Lindberg.
Koepke's address is also near Woodside Elementary School, causing concern for parents. Woodside Principal James Edmond wrote a letter to parents, saying steps have been taken to address the situation including "extra police patrols have been planned near the school."
The district, according to parents, also made "robocalls" describing the situation and steps being taken by the district.

Players will become Captain America as he faces the Red Skull and his army in an epic third- person action adventure set in the darkest days of World War II. Wielding Captain America's legendary shield, gamers will engage in free-flowing combat and acrobatic platforming to infiltrate Hydra's mysterious castle and battle the infamous Iron Cross, the forces of Hydra, and a host of nefarious enemies serving the Red Skull. As the First Avenger himself, players must defeat the evil scientist Arnim Zola and his wartime experiments, combining powerful melee combos and shield attacks to devastating effect. Captain America: Super Soldier combines a highly athletic combat system with fluid platforming and a highly tuned suite of shield attacks, as Cap explores a massive castle turned military installation. His shield can be employed in numerous ways: taking out multiple enemies at once, deflecting incoming fire back at enemies, solving puzzles, and scaling walls. Players will be able to launch shield-first into the fray with the superior force of the world's first Super-Soldier at their fingertips'and they'll need every bit of that strength to overcome a castle that's both an acrobatic playground for the Captain's physical prowess and a house of mystery with enemies and danger at every turn.
Captain America: Super Soldier is an Adventure/Interactive Movie video game for Wii developed by Next Level and published by Sega on July 19, 2011. It's rated Teen by the ESRB and no users have rated it yet.

The Meridian Public Safety Training Facility located on Sandflat Road looked more like a Marine Corps boot camp than a statewide competition on Tuesday afternoon.
There was, of course, a great deal of camouflage, guns, bullets and nifty gear. But there was also a lot of grunting, sweating, clothes covered with the red Mississippi clay, some limping and some high fives. It was hard to tell at times if this was a struggle for one's life or a football game with frequent cheering.
Celebrating their largest turnout for an event, instructors with the Mississippi Tactical Officer's Association (MTOA) welcomed 19 SWAT teams and 17 sniper teams totaling 114 law enforcement officers from all over Mississippi to Meridian for their annual competition to see who would become the top guns. The competition was fierce.
The competition is designed to put the law enforcement officers, including teams from the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, into real-world scenarios with the time clock as their primary enemy.
But MTOA President, Mark Hicks, explained the competition was so much more.
"One of the main benefits of this competition is to give the team leader a very accurate assessment of his team's abilities," Hicks said. "After this is over, he will be able to look and see where his teams strengths and weaknesses are."
In addition to the prerequisite shooting that encompasses any sort of police competition, the entrants were also put through rigorous physical tests specific to law enforcement duties.
"We have a new obstacle course that winds through a wooded area of the facility," said MPSTF Training Officer Eric James. "Before the guys go through it they are all clean but when they are spit out the other end, they look they've been put through the ringer. It will make a man out of you."
The gathering of so many officers in one location also sparks "shop talk" in which they compare notes. Hicks said the networking that goes on behind the scenes is an invaluable aspect of competitions of this sort.
"Law enforcement tactics are ever changing," Hicks said. "These officers use this time to meet new people from different areas, exchange ideas and that helps the agency become a better unit."
This is the first time the MPSTF has hosted this event.
"We certainly hope this competition will be coming back to Meridian in the future," James said. "We believe we have the facilities to accommodate these kinds of events. We are growing constantly here."

Blue Bomber Report Record: 4–1–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Players slowly killing themselves
Over the seven years I have attended the CFL Player's Association Annual General Meeting in the world's largest playground of Las Vegas, I have found that you can always count on a prevailing theme to emerge from the conference and inundate your thoughts after the discussions, and this year was no different.
After three days of meetings with Reebok, the commissioner and his legal representation, our legal counsel, and the CFLPA executive, I found myself concerned with one issue more than any other as I boarded the 8:30 p.m. direct flight back to Winnipeg: player safety and the future of the game of football. Period.
Bombers Scores

This obviously sounds like a dramatic assessment to make when you realize that the numbers for the CFL were better in 2010 than they have ever been. We learned this year that we beat the NHL on average viewership per game, and anytime football surpasses hockey north of the border it's a big deal. Even when it comes to merchandising, the Saskatchewan Roughriders sell the third most apparel out of any team in Canada right now, just after the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens. That being said, allow me to share with you some of the information we were run over with that led me to draw such a conclusion.
According to information from a UNC study we were shown, "Repeatedly concussed NFL players had five times the rate of mild cognitive impairment (pre-Alzheimers) than the average population." The same study also showed that, "...retired NFL football players suffer from Alzheimer's disease at a 37 per cent higher rate than average." Going into this conference we were all somewhat familiar with the long term consequences of playing football, but not to the depth that was introduced at our meetings.
Next we were shown that Time Magazine had produced a story about football called The Most Dangerous Game, and the author, Sean Gregory, concluded that, "Men between the ages of 30 and 49 have a one in a thousand chance of being diagnosed with dementia, Alzheimers, or another memory related disease. An NFL retiree has a one in fifty-three chance of receiving the same diagnosis." This was around the moment in Las Vegas where a collective 'thunk' was heard as all of our jaws hit the floor. These are not CFL statistics, but you would have to be pretty naive to think that these facts do not apply to our game as well.
By this point, morale was already at an all time low at Planet Hollywood, but then, if you can imagine, things got worse as we were shown the findings by Michael Glueck M.D. and Robert Cihak M.D. who wrote, "It is not a widely disseminated, downloaded or discussed fact that the average life expectancy for all pro football players, including all positions and backgrounds, is 55 years. Several insurance carriers say it is 51 years." According to this math, if I can live for another 19 years I will be beating the average! (Insert false enthusiasm here.) After hearing this sobering fact, I have to admit, I stopped paying so much attention to our report on the CFLPA pension plan, as it kind of defeats the purpose of saving money for retirement when you learn that most all of the people that work in your industry die 10 years before the normal age of retirement in Canada of 65.
I don't have any children at the moment, but if I do end up having a son I can honestly tell you I'm not sure right now whether he should play football and whether I would even encourage him to. Though the game has changed my life in numerous beneficial ways and afforded me opportunities, exposure, and a lifestyle I have always coveted, only in the last few years have the results of studies like these been coming out and people in our game made aware of the damage we are doing to ourselves.
These life-altering consequences and hazards of playing football are still not mainstream yet, but what do you expect will happen to participation at the grass roots level when it does? You don't have to be a professional football player to traumatize and permanently injure your brain. It happens at all levels of the game.
Before I go start working on my will this afternoon, I will leave you with the results of a Head Trauma-G-force study done by the University of Oklahoma that we also saw in Las Vegas. It tells us that, "Head to head lineman impact G-force," is 20 to 30 Gs. It also tells us that the, "G-force required for a fighter pilot to pass out," is five to six Gs. What happens to a lineman that plays 15 years of professional football and on average, experiences "head to head lineman impacts" 60 times a game, roughly 18 times a year?
I guess we are not going to have to wait too long to find out.
