Scott Falk's path to executive at the country's largest religious meeting planning company, Arrowhead Conferences and Events, has been, quite literally, a journey. It combined a passion for ministry, which he studied at college, with a profession, meeting planning, that he happened upon somewhat by chance. And it took a 365-day trek around the world to bring it all together.
How did you get started in meetings?
I went to Concordia University in Chicago to study theology and education to become a director of Christian education in the Lutheran Church. I was paying my own way, so I started working at the conference center on campus. During that time, the vice president of the university promoted me to the director of the entire building.
I went to school full-time and worked full-time, overseeing the 70,000-square-foot facility at the age of 22. We had a staff of 25 people. I really had good time doing it. In fact, when I graduated, my counselor wanted me to take a call as a youth pastor, but I had reservations since I was having so much fun. I stayed for about two years and finally did take a call because I wanted to try what I went to school for. So I moved to Santa Monica, Calif., where I served as a director of Christian education at a church for about three years.
I loved doing it, but I wasn't sure that just being in one congregation was what I wanted to do, so I spent a year backpacking around the world.
What made you decide to travel the world?
I was at one of those crossroads where I wasn't passionate about continuing at the particular church that I was working in, but didn't know what to do otherwise. I consulted with a very good friend and asked him, "If you were my age, what would you do?" He said, "I'd travel around the world." I thought he was joking at first, but I was single, I hadn't started a significant career yet, and I had always wanted to see the world. So, I kid you not, I got a globe and started spinning it as I looked at different places around the world I wanted to visit. I flew out of L.A. to North Africa and the rest of the trip I traveled by boat, train, additional flights, and sometimes bus. I visited about 17 countries and I came back exactly one year after I left because my ticket expired.
How did you re-acclimate yourself?
I came back with $300 in my bank account and no place to live, so I lived with a friend for about nine months to get back on my feet. I did a bunch of part-time work, anything to get money. One of those part-time positions was at Arrowhead Conferences and Events. A friend of mine who worked for Marriott said he had the perfect job for me—one that combined the two things I have done in my life; running conferences and working with ministries. I did part-time work for about three months, and then in 1996 Arrowhead hired me full-time. I took over a team that was running housing for their biggest account at the time—the Promise Keepers, which got anywhere from 40,000 to 90,000 attendees.
After I got married in 1998, I took an 11-week sabbatical with my wife before we had kids and we traveled around South America.
What does your job entail now?
I oversee business development, letting other ministries know who we are, what we do, and how we can help. I also oversee technology advancement and new product development. Plus, I run meetings for some clients, which gives me a good idea of what's happening in the industry.
What trends are you seeing?
There has been a lot of downsizing and restructuring, and ministries are looking at meeting budgets much more carefully. They are leaning on us a lot more to consult with them on how to save money. Whereas before they came to us for one thing, say site selection or booking hotels, now more are looking at the meeting more holistically. If there are going to be significant savings, you have to look at the entire meeting and leverage it as whole.
What new initiatives have you been working on?
We've had an online registration platform for almost a decade, but we are coming out with an enhanced platform where registration and housing are on the same platform. People can register, book housing, and get transportation all on one database so you can easily tell who's outside of the block.
The most exciting thing that's happening this year is a mobile app that's going to run on all mobile devices, not just the iPhone. I think it will be a huge game changer this year for ministries to have access to this technology. To have a conference app that allows you to download all of your files, pdfs, spreadsheets, video, and pictures will eliminate a lot of unnecessary paper and mailings. It will help ministries engage their audience and update them on a regular basis, and allow attendees to start engaging with each other long before the meeting even starts.
How do you juggle career and family?
I have 6 kids. The oldest is 9 and the youngest was born on July 8. It's fantastic. We have a great time together. We love to do family walks together. We are only a mile from the beach in southern California so we love to go to the beach. We have reading time in the evening and we love to travel.
When it comes to juggling work and family, I prioritize and then draw a line in the sand. You have only so many hours in a day so you carve out non-negotiable time periods. Dinner from the time my kids go to bed, I don't work—same thing with mornings. Now after they go to bed or before they wake up, those times are open. You just have to prioritize and allow everything else to drop off.
One of the biggest challenges for pretty much anybody in the workplace today is information overload. We have so many channels for communicating and receiving information that if you tried to read everything that came in it would be a full-time job.
The critical thing is to sort through what's important and push out the rest. Set expectations so you can really focus on what you are doing without hundreds of interruptions on a daily basis.
What do you like most about your job?
What I love most about this job is the people in the ministries we serve. I became a youth pastor to make a change in this world and I'm passionately engaged in advancing that cause. I'm doing it through helping other organizations save money and grow the attendance of their events to be able to reach more people. And our staff members are equally passionate about it.

Frankly said, I thought I would never finish this dress. There were so many obstacles on the way – fabric, which was not the best choice for this pattern (and too advanced for my sewing skills), hole in the middle of the dress made with too hot iron, buttons which didn't want to be covered with slippy fabric.. But in the end, I am so glad that I finished it. It turned out to be such a cozy dress for warm summer evenings!
Nov 23, 2013, 06.59 AMby slitherydee
This is so beautiful and delicate and tasteful and amazing. I love the transparency and the way it falls around you. I would love to make this for myself but I can't imagine trying to do pintucks on chiffon without having an aneurism.
Nov 19, 2013, 11.34 PMby mfacciolo
I'm so glad you finished this pattern, it looks perfect on you. I was curious what fabric you used?
Nov 20, 2013, 09.05 AMby dvinare
Thank you! I used light weighted chiffon and added double layer of it, so it would not be transparent. If you are planning to make this dress I would suggest to use light cotton, it will drape differently, but would not be so hard to sew. Good luck! :)

A lovely dress. (and bad iron holes are a nightmare!)

There are so many weather apps out there, many of them free, that its really hard to pick a good one and stick with it. I've always liked The Weather Channel's app, just because it's so comprehensive, great to look at, and comes from an established source, and as from today that app has just got even better, with The Weather Channel announcing a completely revamped iPad app, featuring special enhancements for iPad 2. The new interface goes beyond forecasts to tell the weather story, and its impact on daily lives, via immersive visuals, an interactive 3D globe with spinning map view, an integrated news and social tab, weather-triggered background images, and much more.
Here are some of the app's main features as outlined by The Weather Channel:"In the age of the interactive social experience, we know weather information needs to be visual, accurate and at your fingertips. Part of the success of our iPad app has been our ability to listen to consumer feedback for ideas on how to improve, and we have learned a lot since it first launched with the original iPad," said Cameron Clayton, executive vice president of digital product at The Weather Channel Companies. "This was an opportunity to create a better product that's all about the consumer and gives them the opportunity to truly explore and share."The new app also offers many popular functions carried over from the original app, such as an extensive index of advanced interactive weather maps with local points of interest, and customizable animated weather layers such as radar, clouds, UV index, rainfall, snowfall and more, not forgetting the all-important severe weather alerts with Push notifications and GPS "Find me" availability for weather conditions. It really is a great app, especially if you're an iPad 2 owner.
- Weather-triggered background images on the home screen change to match local conditions, with 3D animated backgrounds available on iPad 2 devices.
- An immersive weather forecast screen displays current conditions, a 10-day forecast, and expandable hourly forecasts in 15-minute TruPoint(SM) increments for deeper engagement.
- An interactive 3D spinning globe view to spin, pinch and zoom for weather. A satellite map shows pinpointed favorite locations, geo-tagged iWitness photos and more.
- A news mash-up of the latest weather news articles from TWC, user-submitted iWitness Weather photos, and Twitter feeds from TWC meteorologists and severe weather experts.
- Social integration allows consumers to "Share" weather conditions via email, Twitter or Facebook; post a Tweet or upload iWitness photos and video directly from the iPad camera.
- HD-quality video of top news, weather forecasts, featured videos and original TV clips

Going scoreless in back-to-back games would cause some coaches to lose sleep.
But Creighton soccer coach Elmar Bolowich is hardly tossing and turning at night, though his Bluejays have been blanked in their previous two matches.
"Some of it has to do with our injury situation and missing some attacking players," Bolowich said. "It also has to do with these last two games were away games, and there is a fatigue factor in there.
"Plus, we're young up front. We're starting two freshmen and two sophomores, and it takes time. At this point, panic would be the worst thing that could happen."
Creighton hasn't scored since Bruno Castro's goal in the 54th minute of a 2-2 double-overtime tie against Michigan State on Sept. 24. The Bluejays played Big East rival Georgetown to a scoreless tie Sept. 28, then dropped a 1-0 decision at Saint Louis on Wednesday.
Creighton (5-2-2, 1-0-1) will try to get back on track Saturday in a 7 p.m. conference match against Xavier (4-4-2, 0-1) at Morrison Stadium.
After scoring 12 goals in its first five matches, Creighton has scored three in its last four.
"We haven't had a lot of chances here lately, and that's probably the most concerning part," Castro said before Friday's training session. "We just have to keep working at it and try to get a lot more attempts on goal tomorrow and in the next game and the next game.
"We just have to keep working forward toward that goal."
Injuries have contributed to some of the scoring problems. The Bluejays have played the last four games without senior forward Sean Kim and the last two without junior Zaberle Kollie.
Freshman Fabian Herbers, tied with Kim for second on the team in points, turned an ankle in the first half against Saint Louis. Creighton also has played its past two matches without No. 1 goalkeeper Alex Bolowich, who is questionable for the Xavier match.
"We have three forwards out, and that's problematic," Bolowich said. "We'll look to other players to move into some different roles and play a little higher up. We'll have to see how we're going to rotate this.
"We're just not as deep as we want to be. If you want to play a pressing style, you try to let guys go hard for 30 minutes, take him out and then bring another three or four in and maintain the momentum. It's harder to do when you don't have that luxury."
Castro acknowledges the injuries have had an impact, but it's up to the remaining players to keep pushing forward.
"One of the factors is that the teams we're playing are very organized defensively and have kept it compact," he said. "We have to work our way through that defense, and we haven't been really efficient at doing that.
"Teams know we like to possess and get behind them, and they're keeping things compact on the defensive line. We have to be more effective in breaking them down and being more aggressive in the final third."
Bolowich said the focus in training has been on fine-tuning the offense.
"We have to continue working on our patterns and work on our common understanding of how the players should run off one another and combine with one another," he said. "Once we get a better feel for that, goals will be a natural part of that process."

Thirty-year-old Daikichi wasn't expecting to be a father. After his grandfather dies, he learns he has a six-year-old aunt, the daughter of his recently deceased grandfather and an unknown woman. The family quibbles on who will take care of Rin, and when it becomes clear that no one wants her, Daikichi offers himself. Some think that Rin's a slow girl because she's shy and doesn't talk much, but Daikichi senses something deeper. While at first quite lost on the matter of child rearing, he finds his way with the help of research and Rin herself as the two gradually become a family. The arrival of Rin's biological mother may change this, but for now aunt and nephew show how a unique family can make it work if love is involved. This sweet-natured manga shows the joys, frustrations, and quirks of family life; and while it is aimed at teens, it would also be more than welcome in the hands of adult readers.

Long a defender of the American intelligence community, California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein is now furious with the CIA because agents apparently spied on work by staffers of the Senate Intelligence Committee she chairs. Such activities threaten to "undermine the constitutional framework" of government oversight, Feinstein charged on the Senate floor. "I am not taking it lightly," she added. Feinstein said such actions could be considered intimidation, and she has demanded an apology.
The agency appears to have violated the Fourth Amendment, which bars unreasonable searches and seizures, and federal laws and a presidential executive order preventing the CIA from conducting domestic searches and surveillance, said Feinstein.
Too bad the senator didn't get nearly so incensed about spying on American outside of the Senate umbrella by the National Security Agency. It was just a few months ago she vigorously defended mass collection of citizens' phone records, insisting it's "not surveillance," and should be maintained as an essential terrorism-fighting tool. "To be effective, the NSA must be able to conduct these queries quickly, without regard to which phone carrier a terrorist or conspirator uses," she insisted, and claimed the information helped stop some "dozen" planned terror attacks, a claim that hasn't yet been supported.
As for an investigation intospying on Senate staffers, those findings have been forwarded to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution, Feinstein noted. The investigation was launched into suspected spying by the CIA on computers used by committee staffers as workers probed the controversial Bush era program of detention and interrogation by the CIA. The committee's 6,000-page review of the operation is classified, but the "withering" study reportedly concluded that the CIA program yielded little or no useful intelligence.
CIA Director John Brennan has insisted the CIA did nothing wrong and has tried to "work as collaboratively as possible" with the Senate committee.
Airline crashes often trigger conspiracy theories. But since Malaysia Airlines flight 370 vanished in midair without a distress call, speculation is running wild. And it's going bonkers with the latest info that the plane flew for hundreds of miles after sharply (and inexplicably) switching course, heading west instead of northeast. It zipped across west Malaysia and out over the Strait of Malacca, before the tracking went blank.
Theories about what happened range from the likely — the plane crashed or imploded due to pilot error or catastrophic system failure — to the bizarre: the aircraft was forced to secretly land in North Korea or Vietnam and passengers are being held hostage (though that's possibly slightly more believable with the new route information). Even wackier theories insist it's all a hoax.
Terror attack possibilities? The plane was shot from the sky or blown up by suicide bombs carried aboard by the two passengers known to be traveling on stolen passports (the BBC reports they were Iranians who authorities say had no terror links). But which terrorists? According to the buzz from social media, news reports and official comment:
— With Hassan Iftikhar
Yesterday Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias et. al. officially announced their new media venture, the central, titular project from fast-growing Vox Publishing. No longer "Project X," the newly revealed Vox purports to be a generalist news, generalist audience site aimed at solving the "problem in journalism" -- context. The site launches "soon."
The press has been excited about the potential for "explainer journalism" for years. This is not new! And it's not a necessarily arrogant worldview -- the first draft of history lately runs fast and loose, and a frame of context is often lacking in breaking stories. There's certainly work to be done on this front.
But the way Vox aims to hold a reader's hand down while navigating the treacherous path of information comes off unapologetically patronizing. It's not clear if Vox will be expending many resources in the way of reporting (a great way of adding context!), or if the site is solely aimed at explaining others' reporting to us, the apparently dumb readers.
lol I just keep picturing vox as Clippy showing up on CNN or whatever. "It looks like you're trying to read about Syria! Do you need help?"— Mallory Ortberg (@mallelis) March 10, 2014
Then there's the other matter of Vox's resources. The site's introductory page lists several supposedly frequently asked questions, but none are: Where are the people of color? Where are the women?
While Vox may be purportedly taking a new (softer?) approach to hard news, the project looks rather familiar. With some hard-working and talented exceptions (Melissa Bell, Sarah Kliff), Vox's staff is still overwhelmingly male and white. While Klein may be half Brazilian and Yglesias one quarter Cuban, there's more color in the executive editor's outfit in Vox's intro video than there is in Vox's current staff list.
This is not strictly surprising but it is a disappointment. When supposedly revolutionary, problem-solving new media organizations blindly replicate the same structural patterns and problems as their forebearers, they don't look so solutions-oriented after all.
As the buildup of pro-Russian forces in the Crimea region of Ukraine continues, officials in Kiev say that as many as 18,000 occupiers are in the region. James Jeffrey, a former US ambassador to Turkey, says it's time for the US to send ground troops to the Polish-Ukrainian border in a show of strength designed to reassure America's "very nervous" NATO allies in eastern Europe. VOA's Arash Arabasadi reports.
Unlike nearly everyone else, one long-time expert pilot is not so very perplexed there was no distress call from Malaysia Airlines flight 370 before it vanished. A crew has its hands full trying to manage a plane in a catastrophic emergency, and a call to the ground is a lower priority than saving people, explains Airbus 333 captain and author Bill Palmer in CNN.
The suspected fate of the missing plane is a bit like what happened to Air France 447, an Airbus A330 that crashed without a distress call in the ocean beyond radar coverage north of Brazil in 2009. But mechanical and flight flaws in that aircraft were automatically transmitted to Air France before it went down in a heavy thunderstorm to provide clues to the crash. It took another two years before a full investigation and recovery of black-box flight data determined definitely that electrical problems, an autopilot that disconnected and misjudgments contributed to the tragedy.
No one yet has any details of any problems aboard the Malaysia flight, and won't now unless or until the plane and its flight data and voice cockpit recorders are recovered. The only clue so far is that whatever happened was likely so sudden and overwhelming that it gave the crew no time to radio for help.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Three companies are interested in designing a fix for serious problems with the brick exterior of the state Public Service Commission's Charleston headquarters.
The companies outlined their plans in expressions of interest opened Tuesday afternoon.
A May report outlined extensive issues with the building's brick facade. Much of the brick surrounding the less-than-30-year-old building, which is located at the corner of Quarrier and Brooks streets, could fall at any time, according to the report.
"When the face brick was removed we observed the required reinforcement to secure the brick or cast stone to the building was often missing completely or inadequately spaced," the report states.
Repairing the existing brick isn't an option.
Instead, the report says all of the brick covering the three-story building should be removed or the brick from the top two floors should be removed and replaced with a glass wall.
The PSC hopes revenue from an increased fee rate on utilities will cover the repair costs. The increase is expected to bring in more than $2 million.
The expressions of interest highlight a company's experience and how it would proceed with finding the best fix. The winning company would develop designs for 35 percent of the options listed in the report.
Companies expressing interest were Swanke Hayden Connell Architects of Washington, D.C., Alpha Associates Inc. of Morgantown and Williamson Shriver Architects of Charleston.
Each has extensive experience in West Virginia and has received large public contracts in the past.
Swanke, along with CAS Structural Engineering Inc. of Alum Creek, conducted the original investigation of the building for about $25,000. The company wrote the report upon which the requests in the expression of interest were based.
In its expression, Swanke states it wants to continue its work. It plans to continue working with CAS if awarded the design contract, as well as two other companies: Metropolitan Consulting Engineers of Washington, D.C. and Forella Group LLC of Virginia.
Metropolitan would assess any potential issues with the building's heating and cooling system. There could be issues once the brick is removed, or depending on which design Swanke and the PSC choose for the fix, it claims. Forella would estimate costs throughout the project.
Though it didn't give a preference in its expression of interest, Swanke seemed to favor the glass wall option in its original report. It would probably cost more than replacing all of the brick, but Swanke believes it would take less time and potentially cut energy costs by providing more natural light.
Swanke was also the lead architect on the re-gilding of the state Capitol dome in the mid-2000s and rehabilitated the Holly Grove Mansion at the Capitol Complex shortly thereafter.
Alpha has worked in West Virginia since 1969. It provided architectural services to many state projects, including work on the Cass Scenic Railroad, a state office building in Clarksburg and numerous facilities at West Virginia University.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Despite the snow on the ground, dozens of golfers hit the course in Syracuse.
There weren't any golf balls or clubs. They were playing disc golf at Thornden Park in the Ice Bowl Saturday. The rules are the same as golf, just with a flying disc in place of the traditional tools of the game. It's one of many winter tournaments going on around the country this time of year.
In addition to offering some fun in the snow, the event also supports the local Salvation Army, which can always use more help.
Salvation Army's Greg Meitus said, "Over 90,000 meals were served last year through the Salvation Army's food pantry, and we get through about 1,000 people every month. The need is there. So, it's great when organizations can step up and support the people who need the food."
In its first year last year, the event raised about $800 and 150 pounds of food for the Salvation Army.

Academic Experience: I'll be the first person to tell you that the requirement to meet with a Learning Team, every week during the entire time that one is completing their major.
Tuition & Financial Aid: They were not in good connection with their different depts.
Campus Resources: There are no such things at my school.
Campus Resources: They get this rating because, there are no textbooks at this school. All textbooks are online. Yep! And there's a Limit on the Free Printing per day: Only 48 Printed copies per day. So, for the last 2 months, any student that needs to print out the textbook material?

Facilities: The cafe area, in which there is Free Water & Free hot liquids such as Hot Chocolate, Coffee & Cappuchino is far better than my last couple of colleges. Did I say that the liquids to drink for students were FREE?!

Kangaroo Valley Pioneer Museum Park
Historical Settlement depicting farm life in the second half of the 19th and early 20th century. One of the best and most authentic in the wider Sydney Region!
A visit to this Open Air Museum is a MUST for all visitors to Kangaroo Valley. Museum visitors will enjoy the historic buildings which all originated in the Kangaroo Valley area. One, in 1973 was dismantled slab by slab at its original site and re-erected as a beautiful homestead in the Museum grounds by Members of the Historical Society. Along with this is a saddlery, a dairy, a forge, a timber cutters hut, a bush school and many more, all set in a magnificent park with BBQ and toilet facilities. All buildings have wheelchair access. The children will love to cross the 72m swinging bridge which leads to 2 marked bushwalks on more than seven hectares of natural reserve.
You can see the Museum in an hour, or after spending a whole day in the Park there will still be more history to discover. Exhibits are continually being improved and added to.
Talking History
Recently all major buildings were equipped with sound systems. You press a button and hear local personalities tell you their life stories and details about the items on display. What better way to learn about our past!

Avocado oil (Persea americana) is highly-penetrating, and deeply nourishes and softens dry skin. It is a deep emerald-green color with a thick and rich texture. Excellent blended with other carrier oils and/or essential oils. Virgin, cold pressed, and unrefined, Avocado oil is used in food and cosmetic applications.
This is the only carrier oil we sell that I recommend leaving at a cool room temperature rather then in the refrigerator. Avocado has a 1-2 year shelf life, and it is recommended that it is not kept in the refrigerator as it forms deposits and it congeals. If it does become more solid, just set the bottle of oil in warm water.

Major Portal Sites to Stop Collecting National ID Numbers
Major Portal sites such as Naver and Daum are to stop collecting national identification numbers from next year when users sign up for services. The decision has come after privacy concerns that have been escalating due to a spate of incidents in which users' personal information was leaked by major internet sites. Both Naver and Daum have announced that they will not collect users' national identification numbers until the end of next year. Daum also plans to gradually remove all numbers that are currently registered in its database. In the future, users may instead have to confirm their identity by other means such as cellphone, credit card or I-pin. According to Yonhap news, portal Nate stopped receiving identification numbers in July last year after the personal data of 35 million users was leaked by operator SK Communications.
You can read more information about the real-name system at Nanoomi blogs, Popular Gusts and Footman's Frothings.
Kakao Talk More Popular than Texting
According to an article by Chosun Business released yesterday, phone users send 1.3 times more messages with Kakao Talk than by general text messages. Kakao Talk continues to grow and in a survey of Android users that was carried out by online market research company Rankey, Kakao Talk was accessed an average of 143.8 times during one week. Earlier this year users were upset after the company changed their data collection policies. Nevertheless the real-time messenger now has approximately 25,000,000 users globally and is available in Korean, English, Japanese and many other languages.
The Shutdown Law – One Month Later
The controversial gaming "shutdown law" has now been in place for just over one month. The policy is a new measure which came into effect on the 20th of November to help curb online game addiction, a major problem among teens and children in South Korea. The law is supposed to prevent gamers under the age of 16 from connecting to game servers between midnight and 6am but many say it has had little affect. According to a recent Yonhap article, many students are calling the policy a failure and have simply been using their parents identification numbers to play games past midnight. Another major weak point of the law is that Korea's most popular game Starcraft is still able to be played without restriction. Others are also protesting the principle of the law, claiming that it has removed a way for students to rest once they get home from studying at academies.
Nanoomi blogger Niels Footman blogged about the law before it came into place earlier this year.

Book Description:From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Claire - a model daughter, an imaginative teacher, as clear and legible as her handwriting. Laura - a student, a beauty, as vital and rebellious as her parents could ever have feared for. As children they had shared everything - so much so that later, neither sister could quite remember to which one of them some long-distant adventure had happened. Far from the leafy respectability of Harrow where they grew up, each is now going her distinctly separate way in this warm, funny and poignant coming-of-age novel.

Emerick Wins USOC Vote |
National Teams - USA Men |
Paul Emerick seems to have crushed all his competitors in a vote for the US Olympic Committee's Athlete of the Month. Emerick was the first male American rugby player to be nominated for the award, based on his performances in the 2011 Rugby World Cup. USA Rugby put out the call to members to vote, and Emerick defeated 12 other deserving athletes by a wide, wide margin. Emerick received 3,487 votes, with wrestler Jordan Burroughs coming a distant second with 1,346. He won 62% of all votes cast. |

Brian Boston, the acclaimed executive chef of The Milton Inn in Sparks, is expanding his culinary expertise with a new restaurant in western Howard County. The restaurant, which is under construction, will be called Highland Inn. It is expected to open this summer.
Chef Brian, pictured, will continue his role at The Milton Inn while overseeing the Howard County property, which will have its own chef. The restaurant will offer an upscale, casual ambiance with al-fresco dining.
The menu is still under development, but it will focus on farm-to-table fare.

I didn't read this whole thread so I am not sure how this became a Ben bashing thread. Anyway, I can handle drops. What I can't handle is a player giving up and not going out and giving 110% like we are used to seeing from former players like Hines Ward. Mike Wallace gave up yesterday. That is unacceptable. Sure Brown makes mistakes, but he also comes through many times when we need him. I have never seen him give up. I just wish he'd keep his mouth shut.
I agree with AA - Wallace doesn't have the heart of a Man of Steel. If we can get good value for him to help us in areas of greater need, I wouldn't cry to see him go.
We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!

So what is his value? If he allows Ben, Antonio, Sanders, Heath, Mendy etc to perform better because her stretches the field, if he makes the Offense better just by being there- what is his value?
If he wasn't there- is the Offense as good?
What is the success of the Offense worth?

I watch a guy like Brandon Marshall play and I think to myself.... Wallace is NOT a better WR than him.
Throw stats (look at the team and QB marshall has had) and his medical condition aside. Marshall is a beast. He's a deep threat, he can go across the middle, he can block, he's physical, etc.
I pick Marshall out because he's in that next tier of WRs along with Wallace.
So how much does Marshall make? He's making 9.5 mil this year. The Steelers offered Wallace an avg of 10mil/year and he turned it down.
IMO, our offense would be better with Marshall than it would be with Wallace. I think he's a better overall WR. I don't have a problem paying Wallace. I have a problem paying Wallace more than what he's worth. I don't see him being worth more than a guy like Brandon Marshall.

Wallace is our best receiver and DC spend more time trying to stop him then any other receiver on our team. Those are the facts.
Who cares if YOU GUYS have a problem with paying Wallace. Like you cut checks. Wallace WILL get his big contract because he has value. If he doesnt get it from us, he will get it elsewhere. Careful what you ask for.

Oracle gives cautious outlook for second quarter
- Tweet
- Share this
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Oracle Corp (ORCL.N) forecast sales and profit for its second quarter that fell short of expectations as it continues to battle soft global IT demand and smaller rivals focused on providing software over the Internet.
Shares of the third largest software maker fell in after-hours trading on Wednesday.
Oracle predicted that sales of new software and subscriptions - a closely watched determinant of future revenue - would be in a range of between down 4 percent and up 6 percent in its fiscal second quarter.
It said it expects earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis, of between 65 cents and 70 cents, compared with the average of analysts' forecasts of 69 cents.
The company forecast revenue growth of between 1 and 4 percent this quarter in constant dollars, translating to revenue of $9.02 billion to $9.29 billion and lagging the $9.41 billion Wall Street had expected. It also gave the revenue guidance in U.S. dollars, equivalent to a decline 1 percent or an increase of as much as 2 percent.
The forecasts came on a conference call with executives after the company released first-quarter numbers on Wednesday that briefly buoyed the stock.
Oracle reported higher first quarter earnings that beat estimates. Revenues rose 2 percent, but missed estimates.
Oracle Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison missed the call while his sailing team, Oracle Team USA, battled on San Francisco Bay to hold onto the America's Cup. The New Zealand team won Wednesday's match, leaving it just one race away from taking the trophy.
Expectations had been muted after disappointing quarterly reports in March and June that led to sell offs in Oracle's shares of almost 10 percent in both of the following trading sessions. In the past three months, the stock has partly recovered and is now up about 1 percent year-to-date.
Smaller, aggressive companies are offering competitive software and Internet-based products at prices that often undercut Oracle, whose strategy is to integrate software with its own high-end, expensive hardware for greater efficiency.
Still, many on Wall Street expect Oracle to eventually adapt to a more competitive and cloud-focused market. Ellison and his management team are known to excel in troubled times and Oracle has introduced its own offerings in the rapidly growing area.
"The softer guide for November will be disappointing to those investors that were looking for a more positive outlook from Oracle," said FBR analyst Daniel Ives. "The company has growth challenges ahead as they transition to the cloud and their guidance reflects that dynamic."
Barclays released a survey on Wednesday indicating that corporations expect flat spending on IT in the second half of 2013, down from expectations of a slight increase when the survey was last taken in April.
The threat of a government shutdown next month in Washington, the most recent fiscal showdown between federal lawmakers, could potentially mute a pickup in enterprise tech spending.
"There's a lot of news out there, whether it's coming from our own government or Europe. That influences what we put as a backdrop for our forecasts," Catz said.
Oracle said new software sales and Internet-based software subscriptions rose 4 percent to $1.7 billion in its fiscal first quarter which ended in August 31, in line with its own forecasts. Analysts on average had expected about $1.63 billion, Ives said.
The company had forecast that new software sales and subscriptions would be unchanged or rise as much as 8 percent in the first quarter. Investors scrutinize new software sales because they generate high-margin, long-term maintenance contracts and are an important indicator of future profit.
Oracle said overall revenue rose 2 percent to $8.37 billion in the first quarter. That was a little below the $8.479 billion analysts had expected on average, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Net income rose to $2.19 billion, or 47 cents per share, from $2.03 billion, or 41 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. On an adjusted basis, Oracle earned 59 cents per share.
Analysts expected first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 56 cents, down from an average estimate of 58 cents two months ago.
Revenue from Oracle's hardware systems products, which it acquired through the $5.6 billion purchase of Sun Microsystems in 2010, fell 14 percent to $669 million.
Oracle had forecast that hardware product revenue for the August quarter would decline as much as 6 percent or grow as much as 2 percent.

Management and Employees |
The New York Fed expects its employees to perform their duties with honesty, integrity and impartiality, and without improper preferential treatment of any person. |
Ethics Training and Conflicts of Interest |
Code of Conduct
The New York Fed's Code of Conduct outlines its principles and standards for employee conduct, including rules for avoiding actual and apparent conflicts of interest. |
Financial Disclosure Reports and Waivers |
The New York Fed requires that a large number of staff members file a confidential financial disclosure report. These forms require the employee to disclose information about assets, liabilities, outside activities, gifts received, and other circumstances that might constitute an actual or potential conflict of interest or a violation of applicable law or Bank policy. An employee's position and access to sensitive information determine the particular report that must be filed. Among those required to file some form of report are the president and first vice president, Markets Group personnel, the Director of Research, staff members with access to Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) information, Financial Institution Supervision Group personnel, all Reserve Bank officers and senior staff, any member of the management group in a valuables handling area, and employees:
The financial disclosure process ensures staff compliance with the conflicts of interest rules and personal investment guidelines outlined in the Code of Conduct. The Ethics Office performs a comprehensive disclosure report review. Waivers Bank Stock and Financial Interest Waivers Section 208 Waiver Pension Waivers However, if the pension is a defined benefit plan, the employee is restricted from working on matters that would affect the institution's solvency, and therefore, its ability to pay the employee's pension benefits. In the case of a pension where the plan sponsor serves as plan trustee, the employee is also restricted from working on matters related to the plan sponsor's trust activities. Relative Waiver Recusal is not required if the employee's supervisor, in consultation with the Ethics Office, determines that no conflict of interest—or appearance thereof—would result from the assignment. Factors considered in this determination include: a) the family member's position in the institution, b) the employee's level of responsibility in the matter, and c) the need for the employee's involvement in the assignment. |

User Review: Brooks Men's PureGrit
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $100
Fairly lightweight, nimble, yet padded, trail runner with minimal drop and great ground feel. This is my go-to shoes for long trail runs in most conditions.
- Lightweight
- Minimal drop
- Perfect amount of padding in mid-sole
- Traction on wet or slick surfaces
- Superfluous "Nav Band"
- Bit too wide in heel
Brooks has found the sweet spot for a shoe that is both minimal in drop and underfoot extras, yet still includes plenty of protection to keep my feet from getting wrecked on more technical trails or long distance pounding. I have a wider forefoot and these have plenty of room towards the front, though the heel could be a bit narrower for me (an issue i've had with most Brooks shoes).
I've run in most conditions from craggy, granite filled technical single-track to muddy fire roads and the only issue i've had is with the outsole lugs not having quite enough grip on wet or slick surfaces. They tended to slip a bit more than I like.
Overall I really like this shoe and it has been my go-to for this season's training and racing of 1-2 hour tempo runs to ultra distance trail races.
