2009-10 Volleyball Coaches
|2nd season
|(239) 590-7057
Dave Nichols, who enters his sixth season as the Head Coach at Florida Gulf Coast University, has enjoyed 17 years of success as a collegiate volleyball coach. Nichols has registered an impressive 361-163 (.689) record in his career.
In addition to the team success that FGCU has achieved under Nichols' direction, the Eagles have also garnered multiple individual awards during his short time with the Blue and Green.
Setter Roberta Santos and outside hitter Ana Kokanvic, two of the best players in program history, earned first team All-Atlantic Sun honors in their senior campaign (2008) under Nichols. This past season, outside hitter Jill Hopper and middle blocker Kaitlin Holm secured spots on the All-Conference first team.
In five seasons at the helm of the Eagles, Nichols has had nine All-Atlantic Sun selections (five first team), four conference Freshmen Team honorees and two Academic All-District selections (Holly Youngquist; 2011 second team - Gigi Meyer; 2012 first team).
Nichols led the 2012 edition of the Eagles to a 22-10 record (16-2 A-Sun), their third regular season title and the No. 1 seed in the A-Sun Tournament. During the campaign, FGCU swept 10 conference opponents and won 15 consecutive matches to help Nichols earn his first career A-Sun Coach of the Year honor. The Eagles' 15-match winning streak is the longest streak in the program's Division I history and is also the third longest streak in the FGCU record books.
2011 saw Nichols' and his squad rebound from a difficult 2010 season as FGCU earned a berth to the A-Sun conference tournament for the second time in school history. The Green and Blue, led by Freshman of the Year Jill Hopper, finished the season with an 18-13 overall record and 10-3 in conference play. FGCU, the No. 3 seed, then defeated UNF 3-1 in the quarterfinals before falling to the eventual A-Sun Champ Lipscomb in four sets.
In 2009, Nichols and the Eagles posted a 15-5 conference record, to secure the No. 3 seed in the 2009 Atlantic Sun Volleyball Championships. In the program's first conference tournament since making the move to Division I, the Blue and Green defeated No. 6 Campbell and No. 2 Jacksonville, before falling No. 1 Lipscomb in the championship match.
In his first season with the Eagles, Nichols led FGCU to the 2008 Regular Season Atlantic Sun Championship with a 20-8 overall record and an 18-2 conference record. His guidance led to a pair of First Team All-Conference selections and a All-Freshman team selection.
Nichols was one of the premier coaches in NCAA Division II as he won two national championships and finished as the national runner-up once. He guided teams to three Sunshine State Conference titles and 11 trips to the NCAA tournament in 12 years as a head coach at Barry. Nichols was named National Coach of the Year in 2001 after guiding Barry to the national championship with a 32-2 record.
In his second season at Barry, he led the Buccaneers to their third trip to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight in 1997 where they eventually lost to West Texas A&M in the championship match. That season, the Bucs finished with a 28-5 record.
In 2001, Nichols and the Bucs would go on to capture the school's second national championship with a 32-2 record. The Bucs were dominant in the Elite Eight, losing only one game in three matches, as four players were named to the All-Elite Eight Tournament team.
In 2003, Barry set an NCAA Division II record with 55 consecutive games won. The Bucs finished that season with a 24-4 record and a Sunshine State Conference championship.
In 2004, Barry captured their third national championship (second under Nichols) with a 34-1 record. That season, the Bucs became the only team to defeat FGCU in Alico Arena. The Bucs finished the season with 33 consecutive wins, going five games only one time during the season.
In his 12 seasons at Barry, Nichols coached 13 AVCA All-Americans, five Volleyball Monthly All-Americans, four Daktronics, Inc., All-Americans and three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. He also helped develop 29 AVCA All-Region selections and 40 All-Sunshine State Conference selections as well. Nichols was named SSC Coach of the Year three times (2001, 2003, and 2004) as well as the AVCA South Region Coach of the Year in 1997, 2001 and 2004.
Prior to Barry, Nichols was an assistant at Arizona State where he helped lead the Sun Devils to their most successful season in program history finishing the year ranked #10 in the nation. He was also an assistant at Cal from 1988-92, and helped lead the Bears to the post season on three occasions.
Nichols, a native of southern California, grew up playing volleyball on the beach with the likes of Ron Von Hagen, Greg Lee, and Wilt Chamberlain. He graduated from UCLA in 1976 after helping the team win three national championships. Nichols enjoyed a successful professional career before beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Bruins, where he tutored volleyball legend Karch Kiraly .

Harmel Report
The Harmel Report The 1967 "Report of the Council on the Future Tasks of the Alliance", also known as the Harmel Report, was a seminal document in NATO's history. It reasserted NATO's basic principles and effectively introduced the notion of deterrence and dialogue, setting the scene for NATO's first steps toward a more cooperative approach to security issues that would emerge in 1991. While recognizing that the international environment had changed since 1949, the Report reaffirmed the aims and purpose of NATO and its twin functions - political and military. It also introduced a new dimension, committing the Alliance to a dual-track policy: it advocated the need to seek a relaxation of tensions of East-West relations while maintaining adequate defence, i.e., military defence deterrents would be balanced alongside political détente. For the political dimension, there was a plea for balanced force reductions in the East and West, as well as a solution to the underlying political problems dividing Europe in general and Germany in particular; for the military dimension, the Report spoke of examining "exposed areas", citing in particular the Mediterranean. Its namesake, Belgian Foreign Minister Pierre Harmel, originally highlighted the need for the report in 1966, at a time when the existence of the Alliance was put into question. Four separate reports were initially drafted and, consequently, summarized. It was this summary that constituted the Report, which was presented and unanimously approved by defence ministers in December 1967. The impact of the Report was both short-term and long-term. In the late 60s, NATO was under increased public scrutiny: France had withdrawn from the integrated military command structure and, for some, 1969 marked the end of the Alliance or, at least, of the Alliance as it had existed up to then (a belief fed by a misinterpretation of Article 13 of the North Atlantic Treaty). The Report not only reiterated the Organization's key principles, but it also set out a realistic programme of work, therefore reasserting the existence of NATO in a practical as well as a political way. In the long term, the Report had a lasting impact on the Alliance's strategic thinking. Building on the Report of the Three Wise Men (1956), it broadened the Organization's approach to security, anticipating the breakdown of the deadlock between the East and West. Aim and political context Climate of change and fundamental questioning NATO had been advocating massive retaliation for a decade before it adopted a strategy of flexible response in December 1967. Up to then, Kennedy's assassination and the US plight in Vietnam had slowed down any new thinking on NATO strategy; the Berlin crises had been a reality check for NATO's strategy of massive retaliation; and France's withdrawal from NATO's integrated military structure in 1966 was a shock to Alliance solidarity. 1966-1967 were therefore pivotal years for the Organization. The world was in flux and there were unjustified fears - but fears nonetheless - that three years on NATO would no longer exist. Article 13 of the Washington Treaty stated: "After the Treaty has been in force for twenty years, any Party may cease to be a Party one year after its notice of denunciation has been given to the Government of the United States of America, which will inform the Governments of the other Parties of the deposit of each notice of denunciation." The article only gave the possibility for member countries to renounce their membership of the Alliance, no more. Should a member take up this provision, it would not put into question the existence of the Alliance as such. Harmel and time for adjustment Recognizing that the Organization needed to adjust to remain relevant and united, Pierre Harmel made a proposal at the 16 December 1966 ministerial meeting for the Alliance "to undertake a broad analysis of international developments since the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty in 1949". The purpose of this was "to determine the influence of such developments on the Alliance and to identify the tasks which lie before it, in order to strengthen the Alliance as a factor of durable peace." Work on the "Future Tasks of the Alliance" was undertaken in parallel with the drafting of a new strategy for the Organization, which was published in December 1967. MC 14/3 and its accompanying military document (MC 48/3) were so inherently flexible, in substance and interpretation, that they remained valid until the end of the Cold War. The Harmel Report reflected this philosophy and was to be considered as a key political and strategic think-piece. It effectively communicated to the public (it was an unclassified document) the spirit of the classified strategic documents (MC 14/3 and MC 48/3). Methodology The top political authority of the Organization – the North Atlantic Council (NAC) -tasked Harmel, as a member of a group of special representatives, to undertake the drafting of the Report. It evolved in two principal phases: first with the setting up of Special Groups in February 1967 and second, with the political stage when the findings of each group were compared. The first stage – the formation of special groups A Special Group of Representatives was set up under the chairmanship of the Secretary General Manilo Brosio on 22 February 1967. The Special Group then established broad sub-groups, each one chaired by a rapporteur named by member governments: East-West relations, chaired by J.H.A. Watson from the British Foreign Ministry and Karl Schutz from the West German Foreign Ministry; interallied relations, chaired by former NATO Secretary General Paul-Henri Spaak; general defence policy, chaired by US Deputy Under Secretary of State Foy D. Kohler; and relations with other countries, chaired by C.L. Patijn, a professor of international relations at the University of Utrecht, Netherlands. These groups began work in April 1967. The second stage - consultations and negotiations The second and political stage of the process took place in October 1967. The rapporteurs met for the last time on 11 October at DitchleyPark in the United Kingdom. Here, each sub-group's findings were compared. The Secretary General, Manilo Brosio, consulted members directly, often to mediate on standoffs for instance between the United States which was unwilling to be forced into something by France and the United Kingdom, along with other members, who wanted a report more acceptable to the French authorities. The methods used by the groups' rapporteurs varied, sometimes causing complaints among some permanent representatives that the groups' methods were chaotic. Two of the four rapporteurs were criticized for their "highly personal manner", while others such as Spaak, were criticized for addressing issues in a more theoretical, than realistic way. Additionally, there were inevitable disagreements over substance, considering that 15 member countries had to discuss such a broad range of issues. For instance, on the key issue of East-West relations, views differed, with the United Kingdom's more optimistic outlook on détente being confronted with the scepticism of the Federal Republic of Germany. Eventually, the conclusion was that NATO and a policy of détente were not contradictory and that US presence in Europe was important to peaceful order. The four reports formed the basis of the summary report – known as the Harmel Report - drafted by the International Staff early December 1967. It was presented to foreign ministers and further debated. Following amendments, the final report was approved by ministers on 14 December 1967 and issued as an annex to the final communiqué. The Report's findings and programme of work The Harmel Report is a very short document, consisting of 17 paragraphs. It highlights two main tasks for the Alliance and several other key issues. Two main tasks for the Alliance "…to maintain adequate military strength and political solidarity to deter aggression and other forms of pressure and to defend the territory of member countries if aggression should occur"; "…to pursue the search for progress towards a more stable relationship in which the underlying political issues can be solved." And the text continues: "Military security and a policy of détente are not contradictory. Collective defence is a stabilising factor in world politics. It is the necessary condition for effective policies directed towards a greater relaxation of tensions. The way to peace and stability in Europe rests in particular on the use of the Alliance constructively in the interest of détente. The participation of the USSR and the USA will be necessary to achieve a settlement of the political problems in Europe." Key concerns Adaptability: The Alliance is capable of adapting itself to changing circumstances within the terms of the Treaty and continuing to help maintain peace within a very different international security environment to that of 1949; Stability: Alliance members share ideals and interests. NATO's cohesion generates stability in the Atlantic area; Détente: Allies are not obliged to submit their policies to collective decision, but consultations should be improved with a view to seeking common ground in pursuing the divisive issue of détente with the Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe; German reunification: détente or the "relaxation of tensions" was not the ultimate goal but Allies were aware that if they wanted to reach a "lasting peaceful order", the German question had to be resolved; Disarmament: arms control or balanced force reductions play an important role in working toward and effective détente with the East; Exposed areas: these have to be examined, in particular the South-Eastern flank and the Mediterranean. Conclusion The Report concluded that the Alliance had a very important role to play in promoting détente and strengthening peace. As such, it advocated the adoption of a dual-track approach to defence where "Military security and a policy of détente are not contradictory but complementary", or as US Deputy Under Secretary of State Kohler described it in his sub-group's report, it advocated a two-pillar security strategy. The entire process of self-examination not only served to reassert Alliance unity and cohesion but it clearly laid out its concerns and principal objectives. Additionally, the inclusion of language on defence in the final report provided an opportunity to gain support for the Alliance's new military strategy published the same year.
Headquarters, NATO
NATO Headquarters NATO Headquarters is the political and administrative centre of the Alliance and the permanent home of the North Atlantic Council, NATO's senior political decision-making body. The Headquarters is located at Boulevard Leopold III, 1110 Brussels, Belgium, on the northeast perimeter of the city. It is home to national delegations of member countries and to liaison offices or diplomatic missions of partner countries. The work of these delegations and missions is supported by NATO's International Staff and International Military Staff, also based at the Headquarters. Role, responsibilities and people NATO Headquarters is where representatives from all the member states come together to make decisions on a consensus basis. It also offers a venue for dialogue and cooperation between partner countries and NATO member states, enabling them to work together in their efforts to bring about peace and stability. Roughly 4 000 people work at NATO Headquarters on a full-time basis. Of these, some 2 000 are members of national delegations and supporting staff members of national military representatives to NATO. About 300 people work at the missions of NATO's partners countries. Some 1 200 are civilian members of the International Staff or NATO agencies located within the Headquarters and about 500 are members of the International Military Staff, including 87 civilians. Working mechanism With permanent delegations of NATO members and partners based at Headquarters, there is ample opportunity for informal and formal consultation on a continuous basis, a key part of the decision-making process at NATO. Meetings at NATO Headquarters take place throughout the year, creating a setting for dialogue among member states. More than 5 000 meetings take place every year among NATO bodies, involving staff based in the Headquarters as well as scores of experts who travel to the site. Evolution In 1949, Allied countries estblished NATO's first Headquarters in London, UK, at 13 Belgrave Square. As NATO's structure developed and more space was needed, its Headquarters moved to central Paris in April 1952. At first it was temporarily housed at the Palais de Chaillot, but moved to a more permanent home in Porte Dauphine in 1960. In 1966, however, France decided to withdraw from NATO's military structure, which called for another move – this time to Brussels in 1967. These facilities, however, are no longer adequate in view of the Alliance's enlargement and transformation. As such, in 1999, NATO heads of State and government agreed to construct a new headquarters to meet the requirements of the Alliance in the 21st century. In November 2002, at a signing ceremony held during the Prague Summit, the Belgian Government transferred to NATO concessionary rights for the construction of the new buildings, opposite the present site.

High-Level Task Force on Conventional Arms Control
High-Level Task Force on Conventional Arms Control The High-Level Task Force on Conventional Arms Control (HLTF) is the consultative and advisory body that brings together government experts to channel advice on conventional arms control issues to ministers of foreign affairs and defence. Effectively, it is the forum within which Alliance arms control policy is determined, while the coordination of Alliance efforts regarding implementation and verification of arms control agreements fall under the purview of the Verification Coordination Committee. All member countries are represented and send senior officials from capitals to meetings of the Task Force. It was created in 1986 and is chaired by the Deputy Secretary General. The acting chairman is the Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy (PASP) of NATO's International Staff. The HLTF is supported by a group of HLTF Deputies from NATO delegations in Brussels. The work of the HLTF is supported by the Arms Control and Coordination Section in PASP.

MIAMI, FL - With manatees, panthers and gators (as in the University of Florida variety) annually ranking as top selling specialty license plates in Florida, state anglers and marine conservationists can now rally behind a new 'Catch Me? Release Me' license plate designed by celebrated marine artist and conservationist Guy Harvey.
Proceeds from the specialty plate ($25 per tag) will benefit the marine conservation research and education work of the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation (GHOF), www.GuyHarveyOceanFoundation.org. The GHOF funds inspired scientific research and innovative educational programs to encourage conservation and best management practices for sustainable marine environments.
The license plate, which features an iconic Guy Harvey marlin design, will make its official marine industry debut next week at the Miami International Boat Show. On display at the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation booth (#2639), the plate promotes catch and release fishing, a practice that helps ensure these magnificent fish will be around for futures generations to enjoy.
"A naturally balanced ocean ecosystem where fish and other marine wildlife flourish will benefit all Floridians, both anglers and non-anglers alike", said Dr. Harvey. "Now, in addition to having some beautiful artwork on their license plate, drivers can also help spread our message of practicing sustainable fishing and support all of our marine conservation work with proceeds from the plate. By purchasing my 'Catch Me?Release Me' license plate you are helping to save our seas!"
The 'Catch Me...Release Me' license plate is currently available to registered Florida drivers at all Florida DMV and the local tax collector's offices. In 2009, the DMV distributed some $35 million to various organizations under the program. Of the 17 million cars registered in Florida, more than 1.4 million support a specialty license plate.

Lawson gave the museum numerous prints over the years, but her greatest gift to the print collection was her decision to fund construction of the Jerry Lawson Print Gallery. When completed in 1982, it was the only facility in Texas dedicated to exhibitions of works of art on paper. When Jerry died in 1993, she left her own print collection, which she had carefully and thoughtfully built over the years, to the McNay. Highlights from her bequest appear in a celebratory installation of the 30th anniversary of the Jerry Lawson Print Gallery.
Jerry collected works by the greatest printmakers of the 19th and 20th centuries: Francisco Goya, Jasper Johns, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Pablo Picasso. Included in the exhibition are all 15 of Picasso's Saltimbanques (1904–05). These etchings and drypoints about the lives of itinerant acrobats were the first that Picasso made and include his early masterpiece Le Repas Frugal, which beautifully describes a meager dinner of bread and wine shared by two acrobats. Another highlight of the show is a group of prints by Jasper Johns, an artist whom Jerry collected in depth, including his lithographs Decoy and Decoy II, both landmarks in 20th-century American printmaking.

The image of the Laughing Buddha is based on a wandering Chinese monk, Budai (Hotei, in Japanese) who lived centuries ago and is believed to be Maitreya, or the Buddha to come. The statue's plump figure and benign countenance suggest contentment, magnanimity and plenitude.

1980 Crompond Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567
Cortlandt Manor, NY - (April 17, 2012) – The Organic Garden for Healing at Hudson Valley Hospital Center is almost ready for its grand opening on April 25 with more than a dozen volunteers preparing the ground for planting.
Volunteers from Kohl's department store, Eisai Oncology and Hospital staff worked from afternoon till sundown on April 17 moving topsoil and compost into the garden. The Organic Garden for Healing, part of the Hospital's Cheryl R. Lindenbaum Cancer Center, will hold two special events on April 25 to dedicate the garden. The day's events will start at 8:30 with a breakfast presentation featuring special guest speaker Dr. Marisa Weiss, President and Founder of Breastcancer.org followed by a dedication of the garden at 11 a.m.
"The Organic Garden at Hudson Valley Hospital Center is truly a community project with so many people stepping forward to make this garden a reality,'' said John C. Federspiel. "We are very grateful to all our partners for their support and generosity.''
Organic Garden for Healing will serve as the classroom for Hudson Valley Hospital Center's Seeds for Health program, an educational and therapeutic program for cancer patients and their families. The program stresses the importance of nutrition in healing and the therapeutic value of gardening in managing stress and reducing anxiety. The program draws its inspiration from "Think Pink, Live Green." The brain child of Dr. Weiss, "Think Pink, Live Green" stresses the importance of lifestyle changes, including healthier eating, as a way to help prevent breast cancer and improve the health of those already diagnosed with the disease.
The Hospital approached Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, a leader in the farm to table movement, to help plan the garden. Other partners include Shades of Green owner Myra Marsocci who designed the garden; Dain's Lumber; Griffin Landscaping, Kohl's department store; Peekskill Middle School and the engineering staff of Hudson Valley Hospital Center with special thanks to Sal DeMaio; Frank Garzione and Joe Smith for building the garden.
"The Hospital is very interested in spreading this important health message, and the best way to do that is to invest the community in this project and the philosophy it represents,'' said Federspiel.
For more information or to register for Dr. Weiss' presentation, call 914-734-3794 or register online.
Hudson Valley Hospital Center is dedicated to serving the health care needs of the community and to providing quality, comprehensive medical care in a compassionate, professional, respectful manner, without regard to race, religion, national origin or disease category. Offering state-of-the-art diagnostic treatment, education and preventive services, the Hospital is committed to improving the quality of life in the community. In fulfilling this mission, the Hospital will strive to continuously improve the care provided and develop and offer programs, facilities, systems and alliances that most effectively respond to community health care needs. Hudson Valley Hospital Center is located on Route 202 (1980 Crompond Road) in Cortlandt Manor, New York. Call 914-737-9000 or visit hvhc.npgdev.com

I have had hair loss since I was 5 years old due to alopecia. I am now 51. I have spent a lot of money in the past for wigs that don't even compare to the quality I find with the Paula Young wigs. Thank you for your pricing and numerous styles to choose from. I just wish more of the "average" size wigs that are sooooo cute would come in petite. I love your wigs and will continue to buy from you. Thank you.

The first order was not good. So I tried again. This time it was worse. The Vicki wig looked like a child took a scissors to it. The second wig was matted and I could not get a decent style out of it. I am not happy because I understand that I am stuck the second time around. My performance is this week-end and I have nothing presentable.Over $70.00 and I guess they will both go in the garbage. So much for Paula Young wigs!!

Comments about Color Me Beautiful Wig by Paula Young®:
The mini petite is a perfect head size but has less hair. The petite hangs over my ears but has longer sides and better coverage. I no longer need to have the wigs trimmed as I did five years ago when I first ordered. I think the manufacturer changed midstream. Captivating colors vary from batch to batch. In spite of the aggravating changes, I'll continue to purchase Color me Beautiful. I've found it to be the best!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I wish you had more choice of gray color in the large size. It is very limited. I like 365 and 119 but can't get many in my size.
I would buy this one again.
By Ginger
from Indio, Ca
I have very thin hair now & keep it short to look like I have more. My wigs give me a great new look & most people do not know it's a wig. The color is a perfect match to my own hair.

Google is taking another swing at commanding the television with its new Chromecast, a low-cost accessory that plugs into a TV and allows users to stream video, share tabs from the Google Chrome browser, or play music from their smartphones, tablet or computer on the big screen.
The big selling point? The Chromecast lets users stream or share while also allowing the device to do other tasks.
With the Chromecast, analysts said, Google appears to have learned a lesson from some of its own missteps and those of its competitors. The small device, which fits into a TV's HDMI port, eliminates some of the usual frustrations with TV streaming. For example, while Apple TV and, to a lesser extent, the Xbox allow users to beam some content from their mobile devices to the television, the mobile devices then can't be used for anything else at the same time. Google says that the Chromecast will enable multitasking on the laptop, tablet or other device without interrupting what's streaming on the TV.
Chromecast also comes with built-in support not only for Google devices but also for Apple's iPhone and Google's Chrome browser on Macs and PCs. That means that nearly every television can now get a Google upgrade — a major shift for the competitive landscape, analysts said.
Now, said James McQuivey, a principal analyst at Forrester, "it's not a war of smart versus dumb TVs — it's a war of which smart TV."
The Chromecast hasn't caught up with the content offerings of competitors Roku and Apple TV — it launched with support for Netflix, but other popular services such as Pandora are yet to come, the company says. But during its announcement Wednesday, Google pointed out that it's easy for developers to add Chromecast support to their existing apps, which could have the double benefit of beefing up content for Chromecast quickly and giving apps on Google Play a little something extra that competitors don't offer.

City Club at River Ranch was packed to capacity for the premier Village of Hope Dinner benefitting the SOLT Kobonal Haiti Mission. Chef John Folse cooked up a fantastic meal, including tomato basil bisque, turban of trout, beef tenderloin and doberge. The Rev. Glenn Meaux's SOLT Kobonal Haiti Mission, in partnership with Cross Catholic Outreach, presented the fabulous event, which raised more than $230,000 to help build houses in Haiti.
Families and friends celebrated City Club's 10th anniversary with Family Fun Day in the grill and bar, gym and Town Square. Threatening weather moved all kids' activities to the gym indoors, which didn't deter the youngsters from FunJumping, playing games, watching videos and munching on frosty sno cones and hot popcorn. Both children and adults enjoyed the delicious barbecue sausage, boudin, ribs and sides while listening to live music.

AUG 27 Columnist Stephanie Grace is writing about those bosom buddies (not), Bobby Jindal and David Vitter, in this post. On the one hand, the two politicians have so much in common, it's hard to tell them apart, she says. But Vitter has taken pains to distance himself from the governor, she says.
AUG 27 This post by blogger Katie East on DIG Baton Rouge is (unfortunately) an accurate reflection of many Americans' experience with our health care system. She has to be impatient, to be "bitchy," to fight to get her physicians to take her seriously. We have the most expensive health care in the world, and East has to use Wikipedia (and her mom) to get a CAT scan? Really?
AUG 27 State retirees who get their health coverage through the state can look forward to paying more for premiums, drugs and out of pocket costs, blogger Tom Aswell tells us in this post. The problem is that Bobby Jindal's plan to privatize the system has resulted in a monthly $16 million deficit, Aswell says, so Bobby's trying to price retirees out of the system.
AUG 27 This post on The Lens takes a look at the so-called "stand your ground" laws that are common across the United States, including in Louisiana. But even though they exist in most states, the enforcement of these laws hasn't been consistent, the story reports.
AUG 27 Blogger CB Forgotston is bumping up against shrill in this post, when he's talking about the taxpayer-funded house where State Police Commander Mike Edmonson lives on your dime. For instance, CB's complaining about the "servants," but the story he links to here reports that a convict cleans the house. CB also calls it a "mansion" but it sure looks more like a standard brick suburban house.
AUG 27 This story on WWL is about some college students who have created a nail polish that can detect date rape drugs. That's really cool, but the real story is in the comments from female college students who say that date rape is routine in college. Hello? Not OK. Can we do something about that, please?

AUG 27 The woman's right to vote is celebrated this week, but in Louisiana, Women's Equality Day has a different relevance, this post on NOLA Defender tells us. Even though more than 60 percent of the women in this state are the sole bread winner for their household, we still can't do right by them.
AUG 26 Here's blogger Ian McGibboney's take on the great NFL-Slap Ya Mama controversy of 2014. Ian's explanation of the expression is a lot better (and more accurate) than the PR nonsense that has come out, and he also raises a pretty good question: can Boudreaux's Butt Paste be far behind? (Wups! No pun intended...)
AUG 26 Sen. Elbert Guillory's bill aimed at preventing "armed and incapacitated geezers" from working as Justices of the Peace was a huge joke, columnist James Gill writes in this post. Nobody knows who really called Guillory asking for it, nor who sent him the text for it, but they certainly got a lot of mileage out of one phone call, Gill says.
AUG 26 This post on the NOLA Defender blog takes a look at the recent decision by the NFL to cancel the advertising it previously accepted from the "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning. In light of recent events in which the NFL's ability to take domestic violence seriously was questioned, the league felt it wasn't a good idea, the post reports. The best part of this (kinda ridiculous) story, however, is the explanation the PR people give for the expression.

The oldest and most historic city in Brazil is renowned for its deeply rooted Afro-Brazilian culture. With an amazing number of magnificent baroque colonial-style churches, Salvador has been nicknamed the 'Black Rome.' Many of the most interesting museums and churches are located in the Cidade Alta. Surrounding Pelourinho Square, tour bright, multi-colored houses, cobbled streets and aromatic markets.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
Begin with a scenic drive through the Lower City past the yacht club. Its marina is dotted with sleek sailing boats and yachts of Salvador's wealthy residents. Attracted by the scenic coast, the Barra district is the favored haunt of the city's elite. At the entrance of the bay stands the fortress of San Antonio, built on the spot where Amerigo Vespucci supposedly landed in 1501. The fort was erected to protect the Portuguese colonists from Dutch invaders.
Proceed to the Praça Municipal in the historic center, where Brazil's best-preserved colonial architecture is located. Leave your coach at the square and proceed on a guided walk through the Upper City. Visit the Cathedral, formerly the chapel of the largest Jesuit seminary outside Rome. The stunning interior includes a paneled ceiling of carved and gilded wood which gives the church a light, airy feel. Continue to the Church of São Francisco. The opulent interior features cedar woodcarvings, covered in gold leaf that took 28 years to complete. A slight downhill walk will take you to one of the city's oldest squares. Formerly the site of the slave market, a pillory still marks the spot where slaves once were publicly punished. The square's appearance hasn't changed much since the 18th century.
Rejoining your coach, your tour will continue with a sightseeing drive, passing by Victoria district and residential areas to the Mercado Modelo. Visit to the Mercado Modelo, which offers you an opportunity to stroll through several stalls with countless souvenirs of African as well as Brazilian origin.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2-hours of walking, mostly over cobblestone surfaces and there is a steep downhill to negotiate. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and is not considered suitable for those with mobility concerns. Due to the heat and lack of air-conditioning at the sites, light-weight clothing is recommended along with sun caps; sunglasses and flat, comfortable walking shoes.

The signs of yesterday do indeed take us on a nostalgic journey. Who doesn't remember the road trips along Route 66 and reading all the wonderful signs that featured Uncle Sam, Babe Ruth, and the Union Pacific Railroad? And don't forget the colorful, art deco neon signs that advertised gas stations, restaurants and motels.
Vintage signs may be things of the past, but their images still adorn the lives of sign lovers from coast to coast -- in the form of collectible posters and art prints. Hundreds of new signs have joined this genre of art, which is a favorite in teenage bedrooms and college dorms.

Wilshaw: I decided on inspections
8:11am Tuesday 10th June 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Ofsted boss Sir Michael Wilshaw was forced to clarify today that he took the decision not to move to snap school inspections two years ago in the wake of widespread opposition.
A row broke out earlier after the chief inspector suggested in an interview that his proposal for snap inspections, which he made when he first took up his post in 2012, was halted by Education Secretary Michael Gove amid concerns among headteachers.
In a statement today, Sir Michael said: "When I first became chief inspector in early 2012, I set out plans to introduce no-notice inspections for all schools as part of a wider package of reforms to improve the inspection system.
"As a result of representations I received from headteachers and others during the consultation, I decided to move instead from two days' notice to much shorter half-day notice inspections from September 2012."
Sir Michael's comments came after discussions between him and Mr Gove earlier today.
A Department for Education (DfE) spokesman said: "The chief inspector confirmed that the Education Secretary did not ask Ofsted to halt its plans for no-notice inspections in 2012. Ofsted took the decision after considering the response to their consultation.
"The Secretary of State yesterday commissioned the chief inspector to examine the practicalities of extending the use of no-notice inspections, so that any school can expect an unannounced visit. Both look forward to working together to implementing this important reform."
In an interview with BBC2's Newsnight yesterday, Sir Michael said he had spoken to Mr Gove about no-notice inspections in 2012.
Sir Michael said: "He said that we need to look at this and we need to listen to what headteachers are saying about needing to be in the school prior to the inspection so they can have a preliminary dialogue with the inspectors about how the inspection should be conducted. So we pulled back on that so they now have just a few hours."
In his statement today, the Ofsted chief went on to say that a llegations of a hardline Muslim takeover plot at a number of Birmingham schools have proved the case for snap no-notice inspections.
"Events of recent weeks have served to reinforce my original view that no-notice inspections for all schools are the best way to make sure that, for every school we visit, inspectors see schools as they normally are," he said.
"I recognise that the Secretary of State's commitment to this principle is also long-standing.
"The Prime Minister and the Secretary of State have asked me to look at the practicalities of moving to a system of routine no-notice inspections and today I can confirm my intention to take this issue forward as part of our wider review of the future of school inspection which I have already set in train."
Sir Michael and Mr Gove were at odds earlier this year after the Ofsted boss accusing Department for Education (DfE) staff of briefing against him - an accusation that was strongly denied by the Education Secretary.
Sir Michael later told the Commons education select committee that he probably made an error in making the charge before checking the facts saying that his comments were ''a spontaneous act of fury''.
He also told the committee that in the wake of his comments, he received assurances from Mr Gove that there had been no briefing against him.
Just a day after Mr Gove resurrected plans for no-notice visits, in the wake of the Trojan Horse takeover plot allegations, school leaders said the move was "not an appropriate course of action".
Addressing the Commons yesterday, the Education Secretary said that, in future, any school could be subjected to tough on-the-spot inspections "with no advance warning and no opportunities to conceal failure".
But Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), said: "If no-notice inspections become the routine, we would be opposed to it. It would make it very difficult for our members to engage in school to school support.
"Ofsted already has the powers to drop in unannounced if it has concerns. I'm not entirely sure what's achieved by this, other than damaging autonomy in the school system."
Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said: "We do not believe that no-notice inspections are an appropriate course of action for this situation. Ofsted cannot police 25,000 schools.
"We already have an inspection system that has virtually no-notice inspections. In addition, we need to make sure proper safeguards are in place to ensure that the work of schools is monitored from the outside, and not just from Westminster, and that arrangements for governance are regulated."

Are our children the future for this Country, i would say yes as you all would, where we differ is Religion, we are basically a Christian Country, or for the atheists our laws are Christian based, we are told we have to except a variety of Religions, up until about thirty years ago every thing British was good we never had a problem with any religion, but over the last fifteen tweenty years we have seen the growing aspirations of Islam, to want every thing to suite their Religious Ideology.
If we say we are not happy with with their Religion we are called Islamaphobes or the Guardian readers will call you a racist, i 've had all of them called me, it's like water off a ducks back, i don't give a scubbi doo, what I do care about with a passion is my Country, when I see and read with my own eye's the spread of this undemocratic religion who's whole aim is to destroy the unbelievers, infidels, kaffur, Jews and rule the West never mind our Country then a line has to be drawn.
To infiltrate our schools and preach their Muslim values is detriment to treason, all the do-gooders, you know who you are, are like lemmings being led by Islam for a long drop of a cliff, if you think you will change their ideology then your in for a shock, they don't change, they don't change for anybody they keep on and on until they get what they want, this is nothing new they are doing it all over the world yet most on here can't see that, they think ok this Britain couldn't happen here, well go in any Mosque and tell them it's not going to happen, you'll witness a lot of blank faces, wont be long before they will be mats down and praying in the streets stopping all traffic just to show they can, like in the USA..
Purely on their birth rate alone 4 to 1 they will be the majority in our Country within thirty years, thirty years that's the age our Grandkids will be bringing up their families, what chance will they have to enjoy the upbringing we had, imagine it, we all need to show we are not prepared to accept a religion that wants to rule this Country, people power can do anything look what it's done for the Arab spring, and look who's grabbing for power....This religion needs to drop it's Jihad and hate of all non believers and prove this, they need to report to the Police the Radicals and not support them as now, other wise time to go where they can live their religion in an infidel free Country.....

Another wake up call, part of our Laws being made "Sharia-Compliant to suite Muslims, most of you I guess never new about:
The Law Society's decision to issue a practice note to solicitors who may be interested in drafting 'Sharia-compliant�
�� wills is such a shocking development?
The most alarming aspect of this terrible initiative is that the Law Society is in effect overturning the concept of one law for all. It attacks that very British understanding of the law; that the law is indivisible. Where now is 'equality before the law'?
In Britain, if you die intestate (without having drawn up a will) your estate on death will be distributed according to the rules of intestacy, Sharia law regarding the division of one's estate does not recognize British rules of intestacy, In effect, the Law Society seeks to legitimize discrimination towards women, towards illegitimate and adopted children, and towards non-Muslim partners or offspring who may be the result of intermarriage.
The British rules of intestacy do not permit of these discriminatory provisions for the division of an intestate estate.
They do now.
The key paragraph drafted by the Law Society states "The male heirs in most cases receive double the amount of a female heir of the same class. Non-Muslims may not inherit at all, and only Muslim marriages are recognized. A divorced spouse in no longer a Sharia heir, as the entitlement depends on a valid Muslim marriage existing at the date of death", It continues, "This means you should amend or delete some standard will clauses. For example, you should consider excluding the provisions of s33 of the Wills Act 1837, because these operate to pass a gift to the children of a deceased 'descendant'. Under Sharia rules, the children of a deceased heir have no entitlement. . ."
For the first time since Magna Carta, there is no longer one law for all in Britain.
We have all known for some time that already, the Law recognizes that certain categories of person must enjoy additional privileges in law.
For example, if someone cries "Racist!", they will be accorded beneficial treatment above and beyond that accorded to the general population. The same applies to someone who shrieks "Homophobic!"but so far, no specific religious group was singled out as being above the law.
The Muslims are now above the law; they will enjoy privileges beyond those enjoyed by the general population, and those privileges are discriminatory, retrogressive, and act in fact as the thin end of the Islamic wedge.
For Britain is fast becoming an Islamicised Country, where Muslims are a protected species, with special rights and privileges.
Those who have been warning of this for years, were always dismissed by the mainstream media and etc. as 'bigots' and 'racists': they were not; what the Law Society has now done, shows how right they were.
And our spavined and gutless government, which could overthrow this latest pro-Islamic initiative on the part of the Law Society if it wished, will not do so.
The members of our government are bought and paid for by the oil sheiks (and their globalist corporate lackeys), and for the most part, their links to Christianity and to the Christian tradition of our country are so tenuous as to be non-existent.....Thi
s is another reason why we need change....
