This is the newest dining table from British spy agency MI-6. Just kidding. But you wouldn't be shocked if it were; this is one of the cleverest, most delightful dining tables you'll ever encounter. Just pull on one end of the table and the middle will open up. Within the base pedestal is a leaf, folded. Merely press down on it and it pops up and unfolds, dramatically extending your table with no effort - but with lots of oohs and aahs.
What's to Like:
It's useful and clever, but it's also beautiful. The designers didn't neglect their first responsibility, to make the furniture gorgeous. The dark wood stain of this table and the simple but elegant form (single pedestal) contribute to a truly lovely dining room table.
What's Not to Like:
This is a big-brother to the SM 35, so only get this version if you often have major seating needs at table.
Bottom Line:
Beautiful, cool, possibly designed by Q...what could be better?
This rectangular pedestal table gives a sculptural sense to your dinner presentation, elevating the food as an object of desire. The Skovby SM 36 dining table's unobtrusive and simple lines beautifully conceal an extension leaf within its base for easy use when you have guests around your table. One of the most functional parts of a home, this extending table is big brother to the Skovby SM 35 Rectangular Extending Dining Table. Some assembly required.
Skovby SM 36 Features:
- Seating for 8 when unextended, 10 when extended
- 1 folding leaf stored in the base
- Leaf is revealed when table is extended; light pressure causes it to raise up to be set in place
- 5 veneer choices to match your decor
MATERIALS & MEASUREMENTSMaterials:
Table Top and Leaf: Wood veneer
Base: Wood veneer

A New Rochelle man who has devoted his time to helping the Tea Party movement has entered the race for Westchester County Executive, arguing that incumbent Rob Astorino has not done enough on taxes and spending.
Kurt Colucci, 36, announced his campaign at a Friday press conference in White Plains, at the entrance for the office for the Westchester County Board of Elections. He is seeking the Conservative Party ballot line, he told reporters, but not the Republican line. Colucci added that he may also seek the line for the Independence Party. After the press conference, he went into the office to file his paperwork.
Colucci, who said he is a project manager for a mechanical engineering company in the area, is particularly concerned with taxes, likening today's relationship with the people and the government over taxation to slavery. Supporting his beliefs, Colucci wrote his own book, called A Taxslaves Manifesto.
"He promises to stop the tax madness and there's still tax madness," he said about Astorino, a Mount Pleasant Republican who has been vocal about his intention to keep property taxes from escalating.
Colucci, who described himself to the press as a "conservative libertarian," said that he has been involved with area's Tea Party movement, and supported Astorino in his last election in 2009.
Colucci also feels that Astorino has not stood up enough to the state government, which the current county executive has berated for passing along unfunded mandate costs, such as employee pension obligations. Asked about his approach to governance, Colucci stressed that he would have a dialogue on the issue. He also cited his experience in negotiating with people on behalf of his employer as something that can help in politics.
Astorino's campaign sent out a press release blasting Colucci, and distributed screen shots of his father's Facebook page, which has images posted that liken Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to Nazis.
"Serious candidates for public office must reject the politics of extremism, and for Mr. Colucci that includes the deplorable imagery and language being promulgated by his father online," stated spokeswoman Jessica Proud. She added, "Until that is done, we will not dignify Mr. Colucci's candidacy with a comment. There is no room in Westchester County for this type of hatred."
Colucci, speaking with Patch, said: "They're just trying to make a story where there is none." He noted that his father's opinions are not his own.
Astorino, elected in 2009 by defeating longtime Democratic incumbent Andrew Spano, is up for re-election this November. Aside from Colucci, who intends to make a primary challenge for the Conservative line, three Democrats have announced their own bids. They are county Board of Legislators Chairman Kenneth Jenkins (D-Yonkers), county Legislator Bill Ryan (D-White Plains) and New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson.

Five Fresh Recipe Ideas for Sweet Summer Corn
There is nothing better than freshly boiled corn, slathered in butter, sprinkled with salt, and eaten right off the cob. It's truly one of life's great pleasures. But, by the middle of summer it's starting to lose it's magic - a classic case of too much of a good thing. Here are a few fresh ideas for enjoying this sweet summer treat.
Five American "Super Foods" for Better Health and Delicious Dining
A list of five "super foods," indigenous to America, that you should be eating and enjoying regularly for better health. Experts have used the term "super foods" to describe various edibles that are significantly higher nutritionally than most other foods. They are generally higher in essential nutrients, vitamins, fiber, and/or antioxidants. This list also links to five great recipes which you can use to enjoy these beneficial foods.
Creamy Chive Garlic Mashed Potatoes
This mashed potato recipe is perfect for those times when plain mashed potatoes just won't do. Unlike many garlic mashed potato recipes, this version cooks the garlic with the potatoes for a more mild, sweeter flavor.
Turkey Noodle Casserole
Turkey noodle casserole is simple to make, and is a great way to use up leftover turkey.
Wild Alaskan Salmon Salad
Bump up your protein and Omega-3 intake with this delicious tuna alternative. Wild Alaskan salmon salad is a great make-ahead dish, and it packs more flavor than regular old salad spreads.
Buffaloaf - Buffalo Meatloaf
Most large supermarkets now sell ground bison or buffalo meat. This very healthy alternative to beef has 50% less cholesterol, and contains none of the hormones, and antibiotics that cattle sometimes receive. It's also delicious, and makes a great meatloaf recipe. The sautéed mushrooms gives this meatloaf a great flavor and moist texture.
Spicy Jalapeno Cornbread with Honey Lime Butter - Video Recipe
This Southwestern recipe has a wonderful balance between the heat of the peppers and the sweetness of the cornbread. Top the cornbread with honey lime butter for a mouthwatering treat.
Maple Cornbread
This cornbread recipe uses maple syrup to add flavor and moistness.
Spicy Buffalo Chili
This spicy chili recipe uses buffalo, or bison meat, instead of the usual ground beef. Buffalo chili is lower in fat and calories than a beef chili since buffalo are a leaner animal. Native Indians were cooking bison and chilies for centuries before "chili con carne" became the popular American food it is today.
Buttermilk Cornbread
This cornbread recipe is more on the moist and tender side than the dry and crumbly texture that many traditional recipes feature. This is a very easy to make cornbread recipe that always gets rave reviews.
Turkey and Cheddar Meatloaf
This great turkey meatloaf recipe uses the addition of cheddar to make a rich and delicious meatloaf that will make you forget all about ground chuck! If you think all turkey meatloaf recipes are dry and boring, give this one a try.
Spicy Turkey and White Bean Chili
You're going to love this delicious, low-fat, and full-flavored turkey chili recipe. The subtle, smoky heat of the chipotle works so well with the white beans in this easy-to-make chili. If you thought using turkey meant sacrificing flavor, give this chili recipe a try.
Turkey Chili
Lower fat doesn't mean lower favor in this delicious turkey chili recipe. You might make this the first time because it's low-carb, and low-cal, but you'll make it again because it tastes so good!
Buttermilk Jalapeno Cornbread
This great buttermilk jalapeno cornbread recipe has just the right balance between heat and sweet. Also, this cornbread has no baking powder, which gives many cornbread recipes an aftertaste. If you don't like jalapenos, feel free to leave them out and this moist, easy cornbread recipe will still come out wonderfully.
Fat-Free Kale and Sweet Potato Soup
It's hard to come up with a more nutritious soup recipe than this fat-free kale and sweet potato soup. No butter or oil is needed when you're using the delicious combination of satisfying sweet potatoes and the flavorful kale. Not only is this fat-free soup nutritious and tasty, it's incredibly easy and fast to prepare. Both the main ingredients are on many of the "super foods" lists and this kale and sweet potato soup is a great way to enjoy them.
Avocado and Grapefruit Salad with Yogurt Dressing
This colorful, healthy avocado and grapefruit salad recipe features an exciting array of tastes and textures. It has peppery arugula lettuce, a simple and light yogurt dressing, sharp curls of Parmesan cheese, and toasted pine nuts. These ingredients really go wonderfully with the silky avocado, and the sweet and tangy grapefruit.
Sweet Potato Steak Fries
So simple and delicious, these sweet potato fries are a great way to enjoy one of nature's most nutritious foods. Since these are done in a hot oven, they don't need lots of oil to "fry." These sweet potato fries are great with burgers, steaks and almost anything else you would serve with regular fries.
The Mythical "Three Sisters" of Native American Cuisine
Dating back thousands of years, the story of the "three sisters" is one of the world's most interesting farming and food success stories.
Wild Rabbit Stew
Rabbit was a popular protein for many Native American tribes. This was a very typical recipe, especially in the southwest, and would have been adjusted according to the local ingredients.
Wild Rice
American wild rice is not true rice, but actually the seeds of a variety of wetlands grass. The variety most commonly grown and served today is called Northern wild rice, and is native to the Great Lakes region of America.
Classic "Cast Iron" Cornbread
Until you try this recipe you've never really had true American corn bread before! By the way, this is just one of the many great reasons to own a cast iron skillet.

All entries for the Texas longhorn youth and open show must be completed by 10 a.m. Saturday.
The unaltered shows for both divisions will be Saturday at noon. The open haltered shows will be at 9 a.m. Sunday, according to Dennis Urbantke, superintendent. Lana Hightower of Van will judge the Longhorn youth show and Joel Lemley of Blackwell will judge the open shows.
A little trivia about longhorns: The steers' horns normally extend to 7 feet from tip to tip on exceptional cows, and 36 to 80 inches for bulls. Horns have a slight upward turn at their tips or even triple twist.
Early Texas settlers obtained feral Mexican cattle from the borderland between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande and mixed them with their own eastern cattle. The result was a tough, rangy animal with long legs and long horns. Through the years, the breed's genetics were greatly improved.
The Cattlemen's Texas Longhorn Registry is the recognized breed registry dedicated to preserving the purest Texas longhorn bloodlines.
Referencing my colleague Rick Smith's great column Thursday about stock show fashions at the fairgrounds, there are indeed rules for clothing.
The Texas Longhorn Show manual states: "A dress code will be enforced at these shows: Western attire, long sleeve shirt with collar and cuffs. Western boots and western jeans are to be worn while in the ring. Western hats (not caps) may be worn. Violators of this rule will be disqualified upon the discretion of the show committee."
I was equally impressed by the attire while viewing the many displays at the Agriculture Mechanics Projects Show at midweek. Not only were all these FFA students appropriately dressed, many of them wore school-color coordinated shirts.
In 2008, Standard-Times city editor Mike Kelly and I walked through the many outstanding displays of trailers, barbecue pits on wheels and restored old tractors.
As we approached the individual projects, the vocational agriculture student or team of students — who spent countless hours designing, welding, painting etc. — would greet us and excitedly give us a piece-by-piece description of the construction.
As we left the 1st Community Credit Union Spur Arena, Mike said how impressed he was "to meet so many polite kids. It is reassuring."
Every year, for more than 40 now, I close the book on another chapter of the San Angelo Stock Show by admiring these young, clean-cut, polite and well-dressed 4-H and FFA students. Observing them during moments of agony or excitement, I believe we are leaving the world's future in good hands.
Also, John Kearney, the general show superintendent, told me the mechanics show reached a record with 273 entries this year.
At midmorning Wednesday when I was in the Spur Arena, it appeared that a record crowd of spectators filled the building, too.
This is the 10th year for the mechanics show, which draws entries from throughout the state. It has become one of the most popular divisions at the stock show. The only complaint I hear is that it's not available for more days of public viewing.
Friday on the midway means a busy time. The Wells Fargo Pavilion Commercial Exhibits and Creative Arts Building and food concessions open at 11 a.m. The Stripes Carnival opens at noon. The eighth rodeo performance starts at 7 p.m.

Coming Soon: Book-Signing, Cancer-Awareness Fundraiser at PB's Bice
By M.M. Cloutier
Recently, Bice, the perennially tony restaurant off Worth Avenue, has been host to fundraising soirees benefiting relief efforts in Haiti.
Now it's the tableau for a cocktail and book-signing affair benefiting a local cancer-awareness foundation.
On Nov. 10 from 6-8 p.m. at Bice, Dr. Melanie Bone—a West Palm Beach resident, cancer survivor, prominent physician and mother of four—will sign copies of her recently released book, Cancer: What Next?
The evening will feature complimentary hors d'oeuvres, live entertainment, raffle items—including an iPad, gift cards and yoga/pilates equipment—and specialty cocktails sponsored by Midori and Skyy Vodka. Net proceeds benefit Bone's nonprofit Cancer Sensibility Foundation.
In her book, Bone discusses cancer's impact on everyday life using her own personal story as reference. Drawing from her cancer experience, she also answers questions from readers of her syndicated column, "Surviving Life." Bone's ultimate goal is to promote a paradigm shift in the perception of cancer as a uniformly deadly disease.
The Nov. 10 event at Bice serves as a kickoff for a bigger Cancer Sensibility Foundation fundraiser—the Lean On Lavender Golf & Family Sports Day on Jan. 23 at the Links at Madison Green in Royal Palm Beach. The lavender ribbon represents general cancer awareness.
For more info, call Megan Zwaans at 427-4564 or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Theme: Positive Disruption
Lagos, Nigeria
April 12th, 2013
About this event
Disruption is usually unwelcome. It represents conflict, chaos, and potential danger. We discourage disruptive behavior in our homes and our societies, often favoring passivity and compliance.
But disruption can be a positive – sometimes vital – catalyst for change. It can challenge old assumptions, ignite conversations, activate authorities and expose new possibilities. Disruption can shed a unique light on difficult issues, giving a fresh urgency and perspective to the challenges of our global community.
To solve the most intractable challenges in health and development, we need positive disruption. It is the path to true progress.

WI-Sen: Thompson Lead Evaporates
by Josh Orton, Thu Mar 18, 2010 at 05:34:35 PM EDT
Today's Rasmussen poll of the Wisconsin Senate race provides a bit of a surprise: former Republican governor Tommy Thompson no longer holds a statistically relevant lead against incumbent Russ Feingold:
...matched against Thompson, Feingold now trails by a statistically insignificant 47% to 45%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
Thompson, who is reportedly interested in the race but has not yet made a final decision whether to run, led Feingold 48% to 43% in February and held a similar lead in January.
Feingold easily beats his other two potential Republican opponents, but the real story is the Thompson matchup. In the last few months, the former governor has attracted a boatload of press about his potential decision to run - yet all the attention has only weakened his position.
So even though Thompson's cohorts are hinting about a run, I'm still skeptical. His lobbyist connections being what they are, I bet Thompson was hoping for a much better number than he got today.

So glad you are back here in P-Town!!!
The student's families are not the only ones who are grateful. Teachers, Administrators, and Educational Therapists (like me) are quietly doing our own private happy dance back here behind the browser... sooooooo grateful!!
You rock!!

I'd like to invite others to join me in thanking Workday, and Mr. Duffield, founder of People Sof--which was nearly single handedly responsible for driving up the value of most homes in this valley starting 15 years ago--for gifting our town support for our children being able to say No to pushers. This gift will help mitigate that.
on Aug 22, 2013 at 9:38 am
Great act on part of Workday but my opinion is that the DARE program does not work. Drugs are a big problem in Pleasanton and elsewhere. Too bad the PUSD cannot see this. Nor the City. My opinion only because DARE cannot overcome the Peer Pressure "issue" among students. Time and money spent on a program that lacks. A waste. Not a personal attack on those who administer the program or teach it.

TWO women arrested after Haydan O'Callaghan was sentenced to life in prison last month have been released on bail.
O'Callaghan, 18, of Saunders Road, Oxford, murdered Rose Hill musician Aaron Buron in March.
The arrests followed an alleged disturbance outside Oxford Crown Court.
A woman, 18, arrested on suspicion of intimidating a witness, was bailed to December 2. And a woman, 52, arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill to the same witness, was bailed until November 29.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- Dozens of homeless people are being driven from their makeshift camps in southern Indiana because of construction of a new bridge over the Ohio River.
Fifty-one Michael McKell tells the Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky. that he and about a dozen other homeless people who live under the Interstate 65 overpass don't know where they're going to go.
The new downtown bridge, connecting Louisville and Jeffersonville, Ind., will go up alongside the existing Kennedy Bridge on I-65. The campers will have to leave when the area is closed for construction beginning next month.
Jesus Cares director Paul Stensrud says he's had to move his agency's meal distribution site north, deeper into Jeffersonville, which has only one homeless shelter.

After a wonderful first experience cruising last year on Princess, we were excited to go again but this time with Holland America. The reviews I read prior to booking were a mixed bag of good and not-so-good so we took a chance. From the first night when we were all but scolded by the head steward in the dining room for lingering too long at a table designated for the 8:00 dinner seating (we had anytime dining but were SENT to the other dining room by those seating us) to the total lack of available food between 8pm and 11pm (and at other times during the day if you didn't want to wait for room service) to the "not bad but also not good and definitely not exceptional" taste/quality of the food to the lack of service by the stewards at the buffet - the whole realm of food on the ship was substandard. I could go into lots of detail but I won't, I'll just give a few examples: my husband asked for a glass of orange juice at the buffet after he finished his workout one morning at approx 10:30am - he was told breakfast was over and there was no more juice; he observed at lunch time, again at the buffet, that a passenger had plates in both hands but was handed a drink with no offer to assist her to a table; empty plates remained on tables while stewards fussed around with silverware or sweeping floors; waiting 30-45 min (pager in hand just like any other restaurant) for a table at dinner; when I called for a dinner reservation I was told the only times available were 5:15 or 5:30 - you didn't need a reservation for those times as they were always available!; running out of plates and ingredients to make sandwiches at 3:30 in the afternoon - the sandwich station was the only buffet station open when we returned from our excursion; etc.
On other topics, the entertainment and staging was just OK - no elaborate sets (actually not really scenery/sets at all) and only 2 dancers. One comedian was good, the other so-so. NO instructions on how to work the shower configuration - we never did really figure out how to not freeze or scald ourselves even after 7 days! About the only thing I can say was nicer than Princess were that the robes in the cabin were thicker and nicer. I had a couple of mixed drinks which were rather weak - I will only ever order wine or beer from now on as you can't (or it would be harder) to mess with the quality of those. My husband spoke to the management more than once about several of these issues and, while they listened, they only resolution they offered was "order room service" which isn't really an option unless you want to spend the whole cruise in your cabin waiting for it. As for the shore excursions, I don't think I will book those in advance in the future. We spent a lot of time on a bus to be told we had 15-20 minutes to see the destination. I can't blame HAL for this but it definitely was a disappointment. The schedule had to be kept so we were moved along quite quickly. All in all I can only assume they were understaffed or no longer care about the service aspect of cruising. Needless to say we won't be sailing on HAL any time in the near future and that's exactly what I said on my survey at the end of the cruise. I will vote with my hard earned dollars and time to choose a line that provides exceptional service and makes me feel special. That's what I want on vacation!

A 2-year-old boy found floating in a canal last week continues to fight for his life. Meanwhile firefighters spent part of their day working to try to prevent it from happening again.
Firefighters say a drowning or near drowning is the worst call they go on.
"Most drownings happen two and younger."
Braving triple digit heat, firefighters and police officers went door to door.
"Always keep an eye on your kids around water."
It's been four days after a 2-year-old boy fell in the canal and almost drowned. This officer jumped in and rescued him.
The little boy got into the canal by climbing through a hole in the rock wall around his apartment complex. Now police officers and firefighters are canvassing the neighborhood reminding parents to be extra cautious.
Some apartment complexes near 23rd Avenue and Indian School don't even have a fence separating the complex from the canal.
"I think they should have some kind of barrier or something more secure. It's so open," says resident Rachel Anchondo. "My husband has been out there doing work on his truck and kids from there have wandered off, he runs them back over here."
Firefighters say adult supervision is the best defense against drowning. Their message? Stay close, be alert and watch your kids around water.
Thursday's near drowning was the 23rd water related incident we've had in Phoenix this year. That 2-year-old is on life support in extremely critical condition.

The ACC Championship Game is shaping up much like the ACC season itself: Mercurial swings with little or no explanation. Take Clemson's latest drive.
The Tigers and Virginia Tech swapped punts to start the second quarter, setting up Clemson with the ball at the 27. The Clemson offense then went to work with a series highlighted by a handful of plays covering more than 10 yards a pop, including:
- A 17-yard pass from Tajh Boyd to Charone Peake
- A 13-yard pass from Boyd to Sammy Watkins
- A 20-yard pass from Boyd to DeAndre Hopkins
Click here for ACC Championship Game score updates and conversation.
And then something happened once the Tigers got to 1st-and-Goal: Nothing. Three running plays netted a total of four yards for Clemson, leaving them at the Virginia Tech 2 and settling for the three-point lead with a field goal.

Tips from two serious women rainmakers | Should students not be law review editors?
By Sarah Mui
Oct 25, 2013, 08:30 am CDT
In posts Tuesday and Thursday at the Careerist, Vivia Chen shared the insights of Sheila L. Birnbaum and Nina M. Gussack about women and business development. "As we know, Gussack (a partner at Pepper Hamilton) has $65 million in business, while Birnbaum (a Skadden Arps legend who joined Quinn Emanuel this year) probably has even more," Chen wrote.
In Thursday's post, they offered eight tips. Among them:
• Be sociable—but don't bother with people you can't stand. "People want to give business to people they like," Birnbaum said, advising junior associates to take junior people on the business side to lunch and keep track of their classmates who went in-house. "But don't bother if you don't like them."
• Don't take up golf or duck hunting—unless you're into it. "Don't join something that you won't show up at," Gussack said. Birnbaum noted how the world has changed. "When I started, there were no women GC ... but now there's many women in-house ... Your ability to socialize has changed dramatically."
Chen moderated a panel the that featured these two women earlier this month. Gussack said that in the 1980s, she landed one of her first big clients when she was eight months pregnant, and "within six hours of my delivery, I was on a conference call. ... Was that the stupidest thing I did? Or the smartest? ... Is that what you need to do to get business? I've never been able to answer that question."
More on law reviews
Two weeks ago, there was news of a law review article reporting that law review articles are too long. This week the New York Times' Adam Liptak wrote about the survey and got the attention of the legal blogosphere.
Liptak took aim at the fact that law students edit the publications. "These student editors are mostly bright and work hard, but they are young, part-time amateurs who know little about the law or about editing prose. Yet they are in charge of picking the best articles from among many hundreds of submissions written by professors with authentic expertise in fields the students may never have studied."
Christopher Zorn, a political science prof at Penn State, cheers Liptak's sentiments at Empirical Legal Studies in a post titled "Five Reasons Law Reviews Are Terrible." Zorn notes that peer-reviewed (vs. student-reviewed) publications are the standard in other academic disciplines, and that other members of the university community don't take law professors and their scholarship very seriously as a result. "To take but one example, I have observed open, unbelieving derision from psychologists, engineers, chemists, business profs, and the like when I explain that yes, the members of the law school think that five or six non-peer-reviewed, student-edited papers constitutes a tenureable record at a major research university. "
On the other hand, George Washington University Law School law professor Daniel Solove writes "In Defense of Law Reviews" at Concurring Opinions that peer review "is filled with cronyism and with way too much 'I don't like this article because I disagree with it' or 'I don't like this article because I'm not cited enough.'"
GWU Law's Orin Kerr also weighed in at the Volokh Conspiracy as did Will Baude, who will soon join the faculty at the University of Chicago. Saint Louis University's Matt Bodie, the University of California-Davis' Jack Chin and Florida International University's Howard Wassermann also posted about it at Prawfsblawg.
Flu shot law
As cold and flu season descends, Connecticut Employment Law Blogger Daniel Schwartz notes that it is in fact legal for employers in his state to require employees to get flu shots.
"In an article last December, the [Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities] said unequivocally that there was no issue with mandatory flu shots," and that employers do not violate anyone's constitutional rights by requiring them.
Schwartz notes that even though flu shots have "undisputed public health benefits," he says that "employers should, however, still be mindful of federal laws that mandate some accommodation of an employee's religious beliefs and may, on a case-by-case basis, consider some flexibility."
He notes one hospital's policy that stipulates that workers who do not receive the flu shot wear surgical masks around patients during flu season. "Employers with unions and collective bargaining agreements should also be mindful that some have argued that mandatory flu shots should be a bargained-for term of employment."

Cincinnati Bearcats news and notes for the 28th of November
The Bearcats led by Stephanie Niemer beat Western Kentucky 3-0 today in Champaign. They will face Illinois on their home floor tomorrow night at 8 PM in the second round. UC played and defeated Illinois earlier this year 3-2. But that watch was in Louisville
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - University of Cincinnati senior volleyball player Stephanie Niemer (Erlanger, Ky./St. Henry) led the conference in both hitting percentage and kills to become the first player in BIG EAST Conference history to claim five straight league volleyball Player of the Week honors. Niemer earned the distinction after leading the conference in both kills (6.50 per set) and hitting percentage (.578) last week. The senior led the Bearcats to straight-set wins over DePaul on Oct. 8 and Notre Dame on Oct. 10, helping the squad break the school record for consecutive set wins with 27. Cincinnati has not dropped a set since Sept. 17 against Illinois.http://www.gobearcats.com/sports/w-volley/spec-rel/101110aaa.html

Keep Akron (Ohio) Beautiful Recycles at the Akron Marathon
Keep Akron Beautiful was proud to be involved in the 11th running of the Akron Marathon this past weekend, in Akron, Ohio. The Akron Marathon, Keep Akron Beautiful and Re-Works rallied together to make recycling and composting a breeze for all runners involved in the weekend's festivities. After being given a grant from Keep America Beautiful and The Coca-Cola Foundation, 25 recycling bins designed specifically for placement at the race were utilized on Saturday, Sept. 28, when 15,000 runners ran through the streets of Akron. Keep Akron Beautiful set out to help the marathon with its recycling (bottles and cans) through the grant, but also assisted in the entire "recycling experience" throughout race day.
Keep Akron Beautiful President and CEO Paula Davis and Jacqui Flaherty, Keep Akron Beautiful program manager, served as Volunteer Captains on race day, making sure that the mess created by 15,000 runners and over 20,000 spectators was cleaned up (and that anything and everything that could be recycled was, indeed, recycled).
"The Akron Marathon is thrilled to receive this grant," said Anne Bitong, executive director. "We have put a lot of effort into providing a community event that is socially and environmentally responsible. Thanks to our partnership with Keep Akron Beautiful, we will be able to continually improve our recycling efforts at the finish line."
Davis added, "This is a fine example of how our agency can promote recycling on-the-go in our community to reinforce personal recycling behavior outside of our homes, schools and places of work. Thank you to our national organization, Keep America Beautiful, for providing these funding opportunities to address our local sustainability goals."
Keep Akron Beautiful is very proud of all the recyclables that were diverted from the trash and it is excited to recycle more and more each year!
