Dominican University of California, 2012 - $29,050
This grant will provide a structured platform for Dominican University (DU) Chemistry majors and MBA students to collaborate on opportunities for research, development, and commercialization of "green chemistry"-related products. The new courses will encourage students to focus their chemistry research on sustainable solutions to environmental issues. The collaboration between science and MBA students will lead to the creation of E-Teams and business plans. The E-Teams will use the Venture Greenhouse, a DU business accelerator and incubator program, to learn how to take their projects out of the lab and into the market. An initial focal area of research for students will be the potential for biofuels derived from algae. If successful, the program will move to expand the focus to other topics in green chemistry. This program is also answering a demand from MBA students without a science background who want to engage with and gain experience working in the green sector.
Colorado State University, 2012 - $36,000
This grant supports the development of Sustainable Enterprise MBAs for Africa (SEMBAA), a joint educational venture of the Global Social and Sustainable Enterprise (GSSE) MBA program at the College of Business at Colorado State University and the Chandria School of Business at United States International University in Kenya. SEMBAA will provide African students with a GSSE certificate to complement the USIU MBA and will also provide venture acceleration training at a cost they can afford. Student entrepreneurs will be taught and mentored by CSU/USIU faculty and other industry experts, with the ultimate goal of empowering African entrepreneurs to scale new enterprises and grow the economy.
Western Michigan University, 2011 - $8,000
With this proposed grant, Western Michigan University faculty will work toward two goals: incorporating into existing courses the concepts of innovative design and entrepreneurial process with an emphasis on energy efficiency, and creating a new capstone course for seniors in which they create human-powered transportation systems (HPTS) and work toward commercializing them.
WMU has participated for several years in two HPTS student competitions: the Sunseeker, a solar car competition, and the Chainless Challenge, in which students design chainless human-powered hydraulic bicycles. In the capstone course, the focus will be on designing cost effective human-powered land vehicles suitable for transporting loads in rural environments of the developing world.
NCIIA has awarded a planning grant to further develop this project concept.
Minneapolis College of Art and Design, 2011 - $8,000
As proposed, this grant supports the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) in integrating a capstone course into its fully online Sustainable Design Online program. The capstone course will be planned by an online committee of eight experts from a range fields, including business, design, online education, and technology. The committee's progress will be shared through a public blog, with course development deliverables including curricula with learning outcomes, core content, teaching methodologies, and appropriate assessment frameworks.
The goal of the new course is to spur development of E-Teams and foster student entrepreneurship at MCAD. The plan is for online E-Teams consisting of students from around the world will move through the design process (ideation, concept, prototype, business and market plan) and receive entrepreneurship training and support. Ultimately their designs will be measured for their global, social, and environmental impact. The course will lay the foundation for the first fully online MA program in sustainable design in the world.
NCIIA has awarded a planning grant to further develop this project concept.
Northwestern University, 2011 - $30,000
This grant supports the creation of the Medical Device Innovation Program (MDIP) at Northwestern University. The program, a collaboration between the Division of Plastic Surgery in the Feinberg School of Medicine and Northwestern, will pair up engineering students, postdoctoral fellows and medical residents in generating new medical devices in areas of unmet clinical needs in plastic surgery. The goal is to translate novel medical devices into businesses either through licensing or by forming start-up companies.
The MDIP program was successfully piloted in late 2010. NCIIA grant money will enable the MDIP team to expand the quantity and quality of student projects that are funded to develop prototypes.
Florida Atlantic University, 2011 - $36,000
This grant supports development of the Spark incubator program at Florida Atlantic University. The Spark program, initially developed with a spring 2010 NCIIA Course & Program planning grant, gives FAU students physical space in which to work, with dedicated basic hardware, software, and a small seed budget to help validate their early-stage ventures. Spark teams will attend biweekly speaker events; have a personal mentor and a centralized web portal; and at the end of the year a competition will be held, attended by seed investors and community leaders.
Students and faculty from across the university will be able to participate in the Spark program. The ultimate goals of the program are to provide an experiential learning experience for students and to connect the existing semi-scattered innovation/entrepreneurship activities on campus, improving communication and collaboration between colleges, centers, and institutes.
Penn State Berks, 2011 - $19,372
Since its inception in 2009, students in Penn State Berks' E-SHIP minor have developed new venture ideas involving information technology (IT), including mobile applications and cloud-based services. However, students have found it hard to prototype and test their ideas.
This grant will support the development of a Virtual Incubator (VIB) at Penn State Berks to help E-Teams get their IT ideas off the ground. The VIB is conceptualized as a virtual environment that provides E-Teams with high-end IT resources as well as technical and business support through partnerships with academic and industry experts. The VIB will consist of a host server, a sandbox (virtual IT resource pool) where students can develop and test their ideas, a software repository, and a website.
Ohio State University, 2011 - $30,000
This grant supports the launch of an interdisciplinary graduate-level specialization at Ohio State University, referred to as the Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization (TEC) Academy. Led by the campus Center for Entrepreneurship, the specialization will integrate the graduate educational programs of science and technology with business, design and law. Central to the program will be the formation of E-Teams seeking to commercialize emerging OSU technologies.
This effort will include the creation of at least four new courses and numerous modifications to existing courses to accommodate interdisciplinary teams, live technology projects, participation of executive mentors, and engagement with university inventors. Through the TEC Academy, the center plans to train as many as fifty research faculty and more than 200 graduate students each year how to assess the commercial potential of new technologies.
Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, 2011 - $35,400
This grant supports a new collaboration between Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering and Babson College titled "Affordable Design and Entrepreneurship." In the program, students will work in distributed teams with communities around the world to develop innovations in areas such as energy, water, health, agriculture, transportation and communication. An ideal student path would be to complete an internship with an initiative partner, take the course for two semesters, work for a mission-driven company or NGO as an intern, and be part of launching a new social venture. The plan is for projects to last 2-3 years, with dozens of students "getting on and off the (project) bus," as the PI acknowledged that one course or one year is not enough time for this the necessary technology and business model development.
This grant will provide funds to cover community site visit expenses while the program becomes self-sustaining. The main objective is to give teams the funds they need to perform early-stage market and prototyping tests to advance their ventures forward.
University of North Carolina at Pembroke, 2011 - $25,700
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP) serves a diverse regional community of 38% Native Americans, 32% Caucasian, 25% African Americans, and 5% Hispanic and others. UNCP is located among the poorest counties in the nation, with unemployment over 12% and a poverty rate of 31.1%. In order to help the economy of this region, UNCP's Thomas Family Center for Entrepreneurship promotes entrepreneurship education and provides free consulting for local entrepreneurs.
The goal of this grant is to enhance the entrepreneurship education activities on campus, providing quality offerings to UNCP students and forming the basis for a stronger entrepreneurial environment in the area. Originally supported by a 2010 NCIIA Course and Program planning grant, this grant will help UNCP faculty in developing new courses and programs for students and area entrepreneurs, including E-Team development, entrepreneurship-focused academic programs (certificate, minor, concentration, and MBA), competitions (elevator and business plan), and consulting for local entrepreneurs.
New Jersey Institute of Technology, 2011 - $29,500
This grant supports the development of a new four-year research, design and entrepreneurship program for undergraduate honors students at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The program, Interdisciplinary Design Studio (IDS), will recruit high-achieving honors students from all disciplines during their freshman year. They will form into multidisciplinary teams and develop innovative solutions in specific theme areas, including point-of-care healthcare technologies, sustainable infrastructure and architecture, green energy, and smart transportation systems.
IDS teams will also develop business, marketing and financial plans and will each be paired with a corporate partner. Projects will be further explored for incubation and potential commercialization through the NJIT Enterprise Development Center.
Pennsylvania State University, 2011 - $29,000
In higher education today, courses in business planning are typically taught only in business schools and are focused on US-based for-profit ventures, rarely catering to the different challenges and dynamics encountered with social entrepreneurship endeavors. This course, developed initially with a spring 2010 NCIIA Course & Program planning grant, is dedicated to business planning for social ventures in the US and abroad. The course will cover the fundamental concepts of social entrepreneurship and use diverse case studies and experiential learning activities to help students develop an understanding of social problems and devise innovative solutions to address them.
The goal for this course is to eventually become a required class for the restructured certificate program in the Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship (HESE) program at Penn State. HESE is leading several international technology-based social ventures, including infrastructure development, telemedicine, cell phone-based social networking, and a three-year degree program to train entrepreneurial secondary school science teachers.
In 2004, NCIIA awarded a Course and Program grant to the University of Colorado at Boulder to support the development of a course now called Engineering for the Developing World. Recently, two students from the first offering of the course launched Manna Energy, LTD, a social venture that has as its first focus implementing an economically sustainable water treatment system in Rwanda. Manna Energy has already won $300,000 from two competitions. Read the press release.
Over the past two years the Wheelchair Design in Developing Countries (WDDC) class has provided an opportunity for MIT students to use their technical skills to address the challenges faced by people with disabilities in the developing world. The class focuses on bettering the lives of others by improving wheelchairs and tricycles in the developing world.
A nonprofit organization has recently sprung from this project. Worldwide Mobility (WM) is an organization that was started in the class. The aim of WM is to channel donated funds directly to wheelchair organizations in developing countries. "The motivation behind this project," says Amos Winter, primary investigator of the project, "Is to compete with low-quality donated wheelchairs and to support the organizations that would not otherwise have access to foreign donors. "

For the past two years, The Center for Bioengineering Design, a Course and Program Grant-funded initiative at Johns Hopkins University, has provided bioengineering graduate students the tools and support to develop new medical devices.
One of the Center's team design projects was recently given a licensing deal with Seguro Surgical, a Maryland company specializing in the commercialization of surgical instrumentation.
"SeguroSurgical's…product line (the Lap-Pak) was borne out of one of our design team projects," says instructor Robert Allen. The Lap-Pak is a device that cleanly and quickly repositions the bowel during a surgery.

Boston University's Institute for Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization (ITEC) has announced the creation of the Kindle Student Mentoring Program at Boston University, which is funded by a $33,000 NCIIA Course and Program grant. Read more about this new program!
In 2002, NCIIA supported the creation of Assistive Technology Devices, a two-semester course at the University of Rhode Island. Within the course, interdisciplinary teams of engineering and business students create a novel assistive technology device aimed at the community abroad. Teams work through the entrepreneurial process of product design and commercialization and present the results to a group of businessmen and engineering alumni. The course has impressed faculty around campus, and URI is soon to offer a university-wide course based on the sequence.
Program structure and goals Assistive Technology Devices is a two-course sequence in which multidisciplinary E-Teams comprised of undergraduate senior engineering and business students design, prototype and attempt to commercialize assistive technology devices.
At the beginning of the fall semester, faculty members from two engineering departments and the college of business administration offer a list of general topics to student teams. The topics come from problems suggested by the Slater Hospital, special-education schools, nursing homes, and physical therapy centers. A broad range of assistive technology issues are addressed:
Teams are asked to:
At the end of the first semester, teams submit a proposal that includes a short business plan, a design, a budget and a plan to build a working prototype. Through a competitive process, extra funding is awarded to the teams whose products have the best chance at commercialization. This money supports their work in the following semester in building prototypes, creating more detailed business plans, and seeking commercialization opportunities. At the end of the spring semester, all teams make presentations detailing the results of their development and commercialization efforts to a group of businessmen and engineering alumni, with the idea of attracting further support for the teams' activities.
The overall goal of the program is to give participating students first-hand experience in the entrepreneurial process, with a focus on socially beneficial assistive devices. This process includes:
History and context Since 2000, the Assistive Technology Laboratory at URI and the Slater Internship program have involved students in the research and development of assistive technology devices for use in the Rhode Island Slater Hospital. The patient population at the Slater Hospital consists mostly of quadriplegic, paraplegic and cerebral palsy patients. Examples of student-developed devices are:
Over time, engineering faculty members at URI realized that, while certainly valuable, the Slater Internship program was limited in scope because the student-developed devices were aimed only at hospital settings. Professor of Mechanical Engineering Dr. Musa Jouaneh re-developed the Assistive Technology Devices sequence to take the student innovations out of the hospital and apply them to the community at large. Says Dr. Jouaneh, "We wanted to open the program up to address the needs not only of the severely disabled, but also the elderly and moderately disabled individuals in the community at large."
"Assistive device technology for everyday people in the community is not an area addressed much in industry. We wanted to come up with a way to help these people."
E-Teams E-Teams are required to be multidisciplinary, and must have engineers from at least two different engineering departments and one to two business students. In the first year of the course, four E-Teams formed from twenty-one students; in the second year, five teams formed from thirty-two students. Of those nine teams, four applied for Advanced E-Team funding, and though none were approved, one is resubmitting.
Innovative and entrepreneurial outcomes Some examples of innovative assistive technology devices the E-Teams have developed are:
Thus far none of the E-Teams have successfully commercialized their product, but the team developing the automatic page-turner is headed in that direction.
Challenges and lessons learned One of the primary difficulties faced in the sequence is getting students from different disciplines to communicate and work as a team. Says Dr. Jouaneh, "Engineering students bring a different perspective to the table than management or marketing students. Reconciling the two and ensuring effective communication between team members can be a challenge."
A second challenge arises from the less structured, open-ended nature of the sequence. "It's a different type of course," says Dr. Jouaneh. "In a lot of courses, the goals are very clear and the course structure is rigid. In Assistive Technology Devices, it's up to the students to create their own opportunities. Some students struggle with that."
Future prospects The innovative approach of the Assistive Technology Devices has impressed faculty around campus, and URI is soon to offer a university-wide course similar to the sequence. The sequence itself continues to grow and develop.

'Have you ever seen a ghost, Mr. Holmes?' asks Victoria Temple, and Sherlock Holmes, at the height of his powers in 1898, must face a new challenge, one that plunges the great detective into the realm of the supernatural.
Miss Temple has been found guilty - but also insane - at her trial for murdering a child under her care. She is locked away in the Broadmoor lunatic asylum and, worse still, she believes fully in her own guilt. But were the hauntings at the Elizabethan manor house of Bly a vision of the walking dead, perhaps, rather than delusions of her tormented mind? Or could it be that a criminal conspiracy is to blame for the psychic phenomena, as well as a second murder cunningly concealed in the past?
In the company of Dr Watson, the indefatigable Holmes will track down the perpetrators through the occult underworld of Victorian London.
As well as the title story, this book contains 'The Case of a Boy's Honour', 'Sherlock Holmes: the Actor' and 'The Case of the Matinee Idol'.

Searching for ways to beat the summer heat? If yes, look no further than your dining room table. You can beat the summer heat with what you eat and drink! Hearn Kirkwood has for you some delicious food and drink recipes you can serve yourself and guests to stay cool without cranking up the AC. Read about these no-cook summer recipes now.
One great ways to stay cool during summer is to water down your meals. No, we don't mean drench your meals in water. Instead, serve high water content foods such as watermelon, cucumbers, celery, iceberg lettuce, and tomatoes. These foods will keep you hydrated and help your body more effectively release heat.
Serve yourself a watermelon gazpacho (here) for those hot days.
Next, add some spice to your meals. Spicy foods help your body induce sweat, which naturally lowers your internal temperature. A delicious, spicy recipe you can try today is the Szechuan Shrimp. Now you know why people in desert environments, such as the Middle East, love spicy meals during the summer.
Another way to stay cool during the summer is to go green. Eat big, leafy, green salad every day of summer. Greens help thin your blood and allow your body to release body heat and cool down. A spinach salad with summer strawberries should do the trick. Here is the salad recipe.
With your salad, have a mojito. Mojitos have menthol from the mints that cause your body to feel cool. Mints also have a hint of spice to help with body sweat flow. But best of all mints have calming properties, so you will remain cool, calm and collected during those hot summer days.
Last but not least, add garlic to your meals. Garlic helps to reduce blood clotting and can decrease your body heat. This is possible because garlic increases blood circulation and allows the body to sweat moderately. Roast and spread garlic on your grilled corn this summer.
For a great selection of nutritious and fresh foods, shop at Hearn Kirkwood, contact Hearn Kirkwood by calling 410.712.6000 (Baltimore), 301.621.2992 (Washington DC), or visit our website!

D ear Old Trainer: Buddy, my 4-year-old yellow Lab, is a wonderful dog. He used to be wild and hard to control, but I used your methods and now he sits, stays on command and is a pleasure except for one thing. He is so obsessed with retrieving a ball that he just goes wild, barking and jumping on me, and refusing to do anything until I throw it. What do I do? Wynne, Colma
Dear Wynne: Buddy is just being a Lab. Retriever genes are pounding in his veins, and he loves bringing that ball to you so much he cant think of anything else.
On my morning walk along the shore of Lake Tahoe I pass a dozen Labs, each with a pine cone, waiting for someone, anyone, to come by and throw it in the lake so they can bring it back. Like Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, they depend on the kindness of strangers. No one can throw a ball enough to satisfy a Lab so they are there all day, waiting for the next walker.
The way you train Buddy is to use the obsession against him. You reward him with the thing he wants most, but only if does what you want first.
Take his ball out to the yard and order him to sit. He knows the command. If he doesnt sit, it shows he is intent on his desires instead of your orders. Put the ball in your pocket and give the command again. When he sits, take the ball out. If he stands up, put the ball back in your pocket and order him to sit.
Do this as many times as it takes until he remains sitting after you take the ball out. If he continues to act up, order him to sit, give him a lecture and go back in the house. Come back and try it later in the day.
Same thing with barking. If he barks, put the ball away, grasp his muzzle and say, no barking.
He has to learn he does not even get to see the ball, let alone retrieve it, until he is willing to sit, without barking, while you hold the ball.
When he finally does it, pet him and praise him, and throw the ball. Go through the same routine every time he brings it back. As long as he sits without barking after bringing the ball back, keep throwing it for him. When he doesnt, the ball goes back in your pocket (wear an old jacket, a ball gets slimy in no time when a Lab is involved).
Once he retrieves without the barking and jumping, drop the sit command. Its fine for Buddy to be excited and energetic. You want him to have fun. If he gets too excited, go back to the basics until he calms down.
Throw the ball for him every day. It helps with discipline if he knows he gets to do the thing he loves most with the person he loves most. After all, the reason he loves retrieving is because he is doing it for you.

Newport's 'zero tolerance' for dog mess
11:50am Monday 20th August 2012 in Gwent news By Natalie Crockett
DOG owners in Newport will be fined £75 if they are caught failing to clear up their pet's mess.
Previously pet owners may have received a warning or advice from community safety wardens or dog wardens in place of a fine.
But now the city council says anyone found to be committing the crime will be fined.
Councillor Gail Giles, cabinet member for licensing and statutory functions, said she and many of her colleagues get lots of complaints about the issue.
She said not only its dog mess unpleasant, it can also be a serious health hazard, especially to children – the biggest worry being toxicariasis, which can lead to blindness.
She said: "I know the majority of dog owners in the city are responsible and do "bag it and bin it".
"However, we will not tolerate the selfish few who don't or won't take the simple step of picking up after their pets."
Those who refuse to pay the fixed penalty notice will be taken to court.
In one recent case, a woman who failed to pay was summoned to magistrates' court where she was found guilty in her absence.
She was fined £120, ordered to pay £77.50 court costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
As well as the regular patrols, the authority is calling on the public to report anyone they know who regularly commits the offence.
They will be asked to give a description of the dog owner and information about where and at what the time of days it happens. This can be done anonymously.
Wardens will then visit those places in a bid to catch the culprit.

The only law they seem to enforce is the traffic laws, you can get a ticket through the post with a fine and points on your license for doing 35 in 30 zone, no immediate danger to anyone, not defacing, urinating, or swearing at any property or persons, but you still get a hefty fine, and why?
Britain is a disgrace, Newport is a bigger disgrace!!!

I absolutely hate this, nearly stepped in a pile in the middle of the footpath in Caerleon Road on Saturday.
Summerhill Avenue is littered with it.
When you walk around it seems to be a majority of people allowing their dogs to foul, not a minority as suggested.
Let's hope the Council will carry this out.

a) training for dog owners/dogs
b) proof that the house is big enough to home a dog and with a sizeable garden.
Those 2 checks would eliminate the vast majority of irresponsible owners who own dogs for their own selfish reasons and not in the dogs best interest.

As a proud Welsh person, I would love to see Newport have a positive image.
However, it doesn't have one and judging by comments in the English papers, it is considered a dump.
It is still a dump, whether there are worse places is irrelevant I feel.
Let us hope that this project and the regeneration of the centre of Newport goes ahead, so that a positive image of our City is presented.

Or just try getting elected into office if you think you can do a better job. I'm guessing that you will still be in the same area this time next year as I doubt you will move on. There are many places in the world better than Newport but there are also many places worse!!
Yes, I could do a better job! but this country is so PC, I would not be allowed to do what is needed, as people like you would object no doubt!

Alternatively, I can stick to my current strategy which is, in essence, to live and raise my kids in a place where normal people.
I have lately been thinking about getting a pit bull and letting it crap everywhere so that my nieghbours can tread in it and walk it through their houses. This seems to be perfectly acceptable, if not the social norm in the Port.
If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.
Any advice on reputable local breeders welcome.

First an exclaimation that it is a disgrace, then a diatribe about what a bunch of wasters/idiots the perpetrators are- often alluding to this being the result of our immigration policy; allowing you to move on to blame the government and Newport council in particlular. If blame for the immigrants can be shoehorned in its a winner. Finally we are usually treated with a signoff on the state of the nation. (Broken).
When challenged - you come back with excuses why you cant get involved (not PC enough). As JM once said - 'Put up or shut up'. This is actually a great country and I'm fed up with the Rynestines of this world who constantly run it down.

Sumiton Christian swept the Stallions nine years ago to win the Class 1A state championship.
Though there are no championships on the line this week, the Eagles are hoping for a repeat against South Lamar when the teams battle in a second-round series starting today at the Sumiton Christian Baseball Field.
The series starts with a double header at 12:30 p.m. Game 3, if necessary, will be played at noon on Saturday.
In the opening round, Sumiton Christian needed three games — and a seventh-inning rally — to get past Berry.
South Lamar also needed three games to eliminate Marion County in their first round series.
Sumiton Christian (18-10) got stellar pitching against Berry with Evan Love, Mikah Abbott and Tristan Alexander allowing five earned runs in 19 innings.
"Our pitching was great in the first round," Sumiton Christian coach Lance Blair said. "Love gave up one earned run, Abbott threw a good game (giving up three earned) and Alexander was exceptional in third game, giving up one earned run. Our defense was a little shoddy here and there.
"We hit the ball pretty well, too. We got some timely hits, that's for sure."
In the third game, Sumiton Christian entered the bottom of the seventh inning down 4-2, but scored three runs on three hits and a key error to earn a 5-4 victory.
South Lamar (17-8), which has advanced to the 1A state semifinals each of the last two years, lost its opener to Marion County, but bounced back with a pair of 8-3 wins.
"They've got a good program," Blair said of South Lamar. "Their program is similar to ours. They've got really good fundamentals. They've been good for a long time.
"I think we're going to have to play well. I don't think anybody in the second round is going to be able to go out there and go through the motions and win," Blair said.
Since 2009, South Lamar has been to the state semifinals three times and the quarterfinals once.
The Stallions have been put out by eventual state champions Shoals Christian each of the last three seasons.
Cordova at Winfield
Two weeks ago, Winfield edged Cordova for the Class 3A, Area 14 title.
Today the rivals meet with more than area bragging rights on the line. Cordova travels to Winfield for a second-round, best-of-three playoff series starting today with a double header at 5 p.m. Game 3 will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday if necessary.
In the three-game set between the teams earlier this month, each game was decided by two runs with Winfield winning the opener 5-3, Cordova taking the second game 6-4 and the Pirates winning the third game 4-2 to clinch the area championship.
"This is a rivalry. We know what they do and they know what we do, also," Cordova coach Ronnie Boggs said. "It's the second round of the playoffs so everybody will be fired up."
Cordova's offense proved too much for Danville in the opening round of the playoffs.
The Blue Devils scored 30 runs in the three-game series. Cordova won the opener 10-1, lost the second game 9-7 in nine innings — after giving up a 7-0 lead — and won the decisive third game 13-3 in six innings.
Winfield (26-8) swept Good Hope, winning 4-2 and 18-6.
Cordova, which has just three seniors on the roster (Zac Guerra, Andrew Minor and Stephen Kilpatrick), has been red hot since the Walker County Tournament in early March.
The Blue Devils were 4-4 after losing their county opener to Curry. They followed by winning 14 of their next 15 games and are now 26-9 on the season.
"Right after the county tournament we won an extra-inning game at Dora. We were down the whole game and came back and won with a lot of clutch hits," Boggs aid. "They started to understand that they are good ball players. We gained confidence after winning that game."
Today's second-round series against Winfield is a rematch of a second-round series in 2011. Cordova swept that series with a pair of home wins.
Addison at Ragland
The Addison Bulldogs hit the road to Ragland in their second-round Class 1A series starting today.
Addison, which overpowered Donoho in its first-round series, takes on a Ragland team that has lost just three games this season — the second fewest losses of any team left in the 1A state playoffs.
The Bulldogs (18-5) defeated Donoho 10-0 and 12-0 last week while Ragland (16-3) hammered Decatur Heritage 13-5 and 14-6.
Today's double header starts at 2 p.m. If needed, a third game will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday.

Students from QJHS National Junior Honor Society took part Saturday at the Quincy Animal Shelter, walking and bathing dogs, along with cleaning kennels.
Students also collected items such as food, blankets, collars, treats, toys, and cleaning supplies to deliver to the shelter.
Ninth grader Leah Fuqua fed cats and changed litter boxes, and says she thinks volunteering is important.
"They keep all these animals protected and safe until they find a good home, so I just feel like it is good to give back to them," said Fuqua.
You can donate items for the event, which can be dropped off at Quincy Junior High School at 14th & Maine.
"This is a great opportunity for the students to give back to their community," said QJHS counselor Jackie Martin. "My hope for this project is that students come away with the realization that volunteering can be a fun and rewarding experience."
Students are selected by a faculty council. To be eligible for the National Junior Honor Society, students must have a GPA of 3.8 and meet high standards of leadership, service, citizenship and character.

Medicare ruling approved; quick benefit soughtBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | January 27,2013Advocates hope Vermont Medicare patients wont have to wait a year to reap the benefits of a class-action lawsuit that was settled last week.
Vermont Legal Aid and the Center for Medicare Advocacy settled a class-action lawsuit against the federal government over Medicare coverage of maintenance therapy. When U.S. District Judge Christina Reiss approved the settlement Thursday to cover such treatment, the government said it would set out to revise its relevant policies and prepare a three-month educational campaign for the Medicare system.
Full implementation will take a year from today, Michael Benvenuto, director of Vermont Legal Aids Medicare Advocacy Project, said Friday. Because they have agreed this is what Medicare should always have been, were going to be pushing that changes should be taking place faster.
Benvenuto said the case was over Medicare coverage of therapy to maintain a patients condition or to prevent deterioration, rather than just treatments aimed at improvements.
Medicare never wanted to cover people just to maintain their present condition, he said. The impact on your grandmother would be if she needs a skilled nurse to come in every two weeks to maintain her position, that should be covered.
Vermonts position in the national class-action lawsuit was unusual, Benvenuto said, in that the Vermont Medicaid program often covers such treatment. Providers will be able to get reimbursed more by billing Medicare, he said, and the state will save money with those claims no longer going to Medicaid.
Benvenuto also said the decision would apply to preventive services, reducing overall costs from hospitalization and complications.
The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit was a Vermont woman, Glenda Jimmo of Lincoln. Blind and diabetic, Jimmo was denied Medicare coverage for home health care because her condition was deemed unlikely to improve.

A classic bar close to the waterfront in Brooklyn. Over the years, this place has seen the microbrewry craze come and go... and now it sees its resurgence once again.
A massive long bar fills the right side of the room. There are about 24 total taps, half of which are permanent, the other half either seasonal or rotating. There is a definite emphasis and love shown towards the micro and small breweries. You'll find Heavyweight, Brooklyn, Sixpoint, Magic Hat, Southampton, and others at almost any time.
The food is nice as well, and there are very reasonable lunch specials to go with great beer. After work, this place becomes a very lively happy hour place. Stop by, even if it is only because this place is classic.

If you love beer, you should avoid this place and go to the nearby Brazen Head.
I had 2 beers. The first tasted stale and showed some evidence of draft-line infection. The second was unmistakeably infected: it was an Oktoberfest and was profoundly sour! Ugh. The bartender didn't know much about beer, but knew enough to warn me off of 3 of the beer offerings, which she said were at the end of their keg, had been on draft for a loooong time, and were not good at all. If that's the case, why are they still on offer??? The management of this place clearly doesn't care much about beer, or about offering quality fresh products. Avoid.

A trip down Nostalgia Lane began at the Brazen Head and continued here. Many was the night that David Atkinson and I spent here. The front was brightly lit by a number of neon signs. Entering, I transited a phone booth-like vestibule with standard restaurant tables and chairs to the right in the window. Just beyond them was the dark wood, elongated "U"-shaped bar with an extensive mirrored back bar. Above the back bar were back-lit metal silhouettes of the Statute of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline as well as several color chalkboards detailing "Spirits of the Week", "Red Wines", "Draught Beer[s]", "White Wines", and "750-ml. Bottles". In lieu of an m.d.s., a self-serve popcorn machine sat in the center of the space at the midpoint of the bar. Two rows of standard tables and chairs ran down the left side of the space. A few booths were on the right side of the space, culminating in the kitchen, all of the way aft. The left side culminated with the lavatories. Also on the aft end of the left side was a color chalkboard with the nightly food specials.
Beer: Eighteen (18) taps and one (1) cask engine. Oak-aged Yeti; Anchor Bock; Delerium Tremens; Avery Czar; BKLN Monster and Pilsner; Green Flash IPA; Chelsea Blizzard - those were the standouts. Allagash Cureivex (sp?) was on cask! Holy Liver, Batman!
I loved coming here on a routine basis and David's return to his home state of MI made me curtail my routine visits. Let nothing hold you back!

I was a little confused finding "Pete's" when I was looking for The Waterfront Alehouse, but I quickly caught on. Apparently some other people entering just after me were a little lost as well.
Once inside, the dining area is on the left, and the bar is on the right, with a short wall divider in-between.
It's a nice wood bar, although there's no brass foot rail - instead they've got a quarry tile covered ledge. The back bar is just solid mirror, nothing fancy. And in a way that seems to be kind of a theme here, with things kind of halfway done like they were in the 70's. The goofy NY buildings theme doesn't help; but the dining area with booths and tables is much nicer than at the Manhattan location. My rating for atmoshpere gets a bump though because it was so comfortable and friendly.
As for the beer, they've got 1 handpump and 19 taps (or is that 20 and one was off-tap?). Overall a very good selection. There were 2 beers I'd never tried! And if I'd had more time I'd have tried a beer from Chelsea on the hand-pump (not sure if it was really cask or not).
I had a beer and I ordered the Vegetable Dumplings ($6.95) and Tandoori Vegetable Burger ($9.95), both were good, but not great. The prices were reasonable though, and I certainly didn't feel short-changed. Cross the bridge into Manhattan and everything goes way up!!!
The bartender was friendly and attentive, and really on the ball. The bar was full and there were a few regulars at the bar that he needed to chat with here and there, but he always delivered right on cue. Quality service is always welcome in my book.
So, last swigs, I'd drop by here again. I wouldn't pass up the Brazen Head just down the street for beers, but for a bite to eat I'd certainly got here.

Went here for lunch one day, pretty impressive tap and bottle selection. Alot of local brews on tap (sixpoint, brooklyn, bluepoint, capt lawrence) and other regional and west coast along with some belgians. I believe there is a cask line also. Only had a chance to have one beer (Ithaca Cascazilla). Had a catfish po-boy which was excellent. Can't really comment on the atmosphere or vibe there, because i was in for lunch on a wednesday so it was pretty empty. Would def. go back if im in the area again

likely the best dinner ive had since moving to brooklyn. although the owner is from philly, i had a catfish po-boy and in house hand made lousiana style hot sauce that brought tears to my southern born eyes. didn't count the taps, or ask, but they pretty much went from one end of the bar to the other and were pretty much all craft or local. full bar aswell. i dont know whether i'd go for the food and stay for the beer or vice-versa, an all together great joint and a gem in brooklyn and new york.

By far my favorite restaurant in NYC -- the burgers are some of the best I've ever had and the rotating beer list is always interesting. This was our default go-to restaurant when we lived in Brooklyn; it's kid-friendly but a great place to enjoy a few good beers over popcorn (provided free) or a meal.
I make a point of going back to visit every time we get back to town -- there is usually a good cask ale and even on days when they've run out, I can always find something in the bottled selection.

Located on Atlantic Avenue, two blocks west of Court Street.
Upon entering, the long bar is on the right hand side and the dining area on the left. A nice popcorn machine greets you as well.
The draft list included Weihenstephaner Weiss, Jever, Brooklyn Lager, Yuengling, Liberty Ale, Rogue Brutal Bitter, Avery Collaboration, Brooklyn Antwerp Ale, Harpoon Hibernian, Guinness, Stella Artois, Original Sin, Dentergem's Wit, Rare Vos, St. Bernardus Triple, Old Crustacean, Stoudt's Double Maibock, SN Schwarzbier and Chelsea Pier 59 on cask. The bottle list included Unibroue 15, Brooklyn Local 1, Achel Pale, Daleside Monkey Wrench and DeKonick.
The menu featured a mixed bag of offering, from BBQ to fish and chips. I had the Lamb burger with black olive relish - very nice.

When I am in the area, I will usually stop by this neighborhood staple. They have a good selection of brews that are listed on the board behind the bar. Pretty much every style. 2 words of warning:
1) If you are going to sit down and eat the popcorn (wonderful and free) be prepared to be angry at yourself because by the end of the night your mouth will be bleeding from eating so damn much of it... so tempting and good
2) if you're going to order beer and beer alone, sit at the bar. It's just better.
The place is comfortable and quiet so it's a good place to go with your friends. Kind of out of the way though.

Live from the Universal Harry Potter Park Announcement in CaliforniaEvents
Good morning! We are live from Universal Studios in Southern California where everyone is wearing house scarves under a baking sun. Guess it's time to hear about a new JAWS ride!
Updates (via Twitter) -- most recent first:
- Trays of butterbeer coming out now.
- There's a lot of focus of the effects of this on LA commerce. Taped message from LA and Orlando mayors now.
- Commissioner: "I've never seen the Harry Potter film [sic], my staff conspired to get me a DVD of the first movie. [They said] "the least you should do is see the movie". I'm not a big fiction movie person. There are some public policy connections. First of all the wand. I see the wand being used to create $13B for the state budget, Governor. As far as the broomsticks are concerned is there a better way to navigate the 405 during rush hour? Today's announcement marks an important new investment [for the economy]."
- Governor: "Great day when we see investment in California and investment in the imagination"
- Barry Meyer: "There are now eight films behind us and the future of Harry Potter is looking brighter today than ever with this announcement. We are now truly entering the next phase of what Harry Potter will mean to its loyal and committed audience. The Harry Potter fan is a unique individual - committed/dedicated/unbelievably demanding." Says Universal is as "committed" to quality and excellence as WB has been. "The best gift we can give over the holidays to every Harry Potter fan in the world is an announcement like the one today".
- Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey will be recreated here in California. Plan to invest several hundred million dollars and create more than a thousand jobs here. Generate tax revenue for city and county.
- Barry Meyer: "The books/films are among the most powerful stories of our time. We're honoured to creating destinations where these come to life"
- Phelps twins: "When we're making a movie, everything is fake...I wandered off to tap the wall. When it's a set it's hollow but this is real."
- Will be "in the existing theme park" and "every bit as spectacular" as Orlando. Orlando WWoHP will be "greatly expanded" (Internet rumours about Orlando include Diagon Alley, Gringotts etc)
- Showing a video of the park, mostly of kids enjoying butterbeer and wands :)
- James and Oliver Phelps are here to help make the announcement. "Hogwarts is coming to Hollywood," they said as one.
- Talking up the economic benefit - jobs it has brought to Florida, etc.
- Park in Cali will include a castle - "fully immersive environment for the entire family"
- The WWoHP IS coming to Los Angeles - and a big expansion is planned for Orlando.
- Press event has just started - LA commissioner as well as California Governor Jerry Brown are here as well.

Portal 2 hailed best video game
6:28am Saturday 17th March 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Jonathan Ross, his wife Jane Goldman and their son Harvey arriving at the GAME British Academy Video Games Awards at The London Hilton
Portal 2 has won three prizes, including best game, at this year's British Academy Video Games Awards.
The first-person puzzle platform game, developed by Valve, also received awards for design and story at Friday night's ceremony at the London Hilton.
Battlefield 3 was another big winner, picking up prizes in the online multiplayer and audio achievement categories, as well as taking the Game award, voted for by the public.
Comedian Dara O'Briain hosted the event, which was attended by celebrities including Jonathan Ross and his screenwriter wife Jane Goldman.
There were two awards apiece for LittleBigPlanet 2 and Batman: Arkham City.
Arkham City, follow-up to 2009 best game winner Batman: Arkham Asylum, took the action award, while Star Wars actor Mark Hamill took the performer prize for his portrayal of the Joker. LittleBigPlanet 2 scooped prizes in the family and design innovation categories.
Other winners included Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet in the debut game category, Kinect Sports 2, which took the gong for sports and fitness, and Rayman Origins, recognised for artistic achievement.
Monstermind, a game played on Facebook, came out top among online browser games and crime game LA Noire was honoured in the original music category. Meanwhile, Swallowtail's Tick Tock Toys won in the category of ones to watch.
Markus Persson, known as Notch and most famous for developing Minecraft, took home the special award for outstanding creative contribution to the industry. He said he was "blown away and deeply humbled" by the win.
The awards were sponsored by retailer Game, which warned earlier this week that it was in danger of collapse after several suppliers refused to provide it with new products. However, it later confirmed a third party - reportedly private investment firm OpCapita, which recently bought electrical goods retailer Comet - had shown interest in providing it with extra support.

My Holiday Chicken Challenge
The Challenge
As a newlywed who often goes to my husband's family's house for holiday dinners, I have grown comfortable in my role as enthusiastic flower- and chocolate-bringing guest. And as a longtime vegetarian (until recently), I had worked out a delicate choreography of passing the meatballs along and filling my plate with salad and sides.
But last spring my husband's grandmother fell very ill, leaving his mother, usually a serious kitchen dynamo, busy caretaking and unable to prepare for the family's Passover seder. So we -- my husband, his sisters, and I -- cooked instead, running to the supermarket for last-minute groceries, simmering pots of soup, and forming matzo balls by the dozen. At some point I offered to roast a chicken. It was perhaps a strange choice, considering that I had only started eating meat again the year before and had attempted to cook it just a handful of times.
Roasting a chicken is supposed to be pretty simple, the kind of predictable, throw-it-in-the-oven dish that home cooks keep in their back pockets for rainy days. When the chicken you are roasting is going to feed your in-laws, however, that's another story. And amid all the doctor calls and visits from hospice nurses, I wanted my family to feel like they were being taken care of, too. I wanted to make something familiar and nurturing. Something that tasted like home.
Maybe that's a lot of pressure to put on a chicken. Still, I gave myself a crash course in roasting, consulting blogs and cookbooks for trussing tips, oven temperature, and cooking times. With hopeful thoughts, I slipped the chicken -- stuffed with bright orange wedges, earthy sage leaves, and hunks of onion -- into the oven and moved on to the next task. I'm not sure how, but despite the stress and sadness we managed to pull everything off. That night we filled the seder table with song, stories, laughter, and tears. Meanwhile, the chicken emerged crisp-skinned, juicy, and perfumed with citrus and herbs -- a small gesture of love and comfort, served with potatoes.

Joan Rivers storms out of interview
11:42am Monday 7th July 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Joan Rivers has stormed out of a TV interview live on air after becoming offended by a CNN presenter's line of questioning.
The veteran comedienne started out by defending her often cutting comments as presenter of E! show Fashion Police in the interview with Fredricka Whitfield.
According to E! she said: "It's not mean. I tell the truth. I'm sure I say the same things that all your viewers say to their friends sitting next to them on the couch. We're one of the few shows that says 'That's an ugly dress' and that's OK."
Answering a question about making jokes on subjects that are off limits in her routines, she said: "Life is very tough, and if you can make something easier and funny do it. I don't know what your life has been like but I know a lot of people who have gone through hell... Winston Churchill said if you make someone laugh, you give them a vacation. And maybe you take the worst thing in the world, make it funny and give them a vacation from horror."
Things turned sour when Fredricka asked her about wearing fur on the cover of her new book, Diary Of A Mad Diva, which she suggested Joan must have known would anger Peta protesters.
Joan fumed: "This whole interview is becoming a defence interview. Are you wearing leather shoes? Shut up. You're eating meat, you're eating chicken. Come to me when you're wearing a paper belt."
She then announced she was ending the interview, as a confused Fredricka seemed unsure whether she was joking until she walked out.
Joan said: "I'm going, because all you've done is negative. I've made people laugh for 50 years. I am put on earth to make people laugh, my book is funny, I wear fur that was killed 15 years ago, I work for animal rights... you are not the person to interview someone that does humour. Sorry."

Leather shoes are by-products of the meat industry, fur is from animals bred for no other purpose than make ugly people (think that they) look good, you're a talented lady, Joan, but you are wrong on this, that's why you walked out of the interview, guilt.

The writer does not have to take on huge dramatic subjects to engage the reader's interest, though there is of course a natural interest in huge important subjects (See Christopher Hitchens' excellent "Mortality," or Harold Brodkey's "This Wild Darkness.") A brilliant or resourceful writer like Gary Shteyngart can entertain his reader with a subject as inherently plotless and unexciting as a plane delay. The subject, with apologies to hopeful suffering young writers, doesn't have to be inherently extreme.
4. In fact, even if your subject is extreme or shocking, it won't be interesting in any but the most prurient terms, unless it is written well, and surprisingly. For instance, the novelist Darin Strauss' "Half a Life" is an excellent reflection on his experience of killing a girl in a car accident in high school. But it is excellent because it is controlled, because the details are as carefully selected, the pacing as carefully moderated as that of any novel. The reason the book is so good is that he manages to tell the reader something she doesn't know or can't imagine; he gets beyond the generic, the cliché, which a surprising number of published personal writers never do. There is one moment when the teen-age Darin, on the roadside after the accident, in shock, leans down on the ground, with his head in his hands, like an Olympic athlete overcome with emotion, to impress some pretty girls who happen to be standing there too. His inclusion of vivid, unsettling, surprising moments like this lifts the book to its higher plane of observation, its position as art rather than sheer confession.
5.The standards of craft in personal writing should not be lower than in fiction. There is no reason why something true should be sloppily or boringly written. Many writers seem to feel that they are "expressing themselves" if they just get their feelings down on the page, but expressing yourself is not enough. Toward this point, Joan Didion, one of the most admired personal writers in American prose, said this extraordinary thing in a Paris Review interview: "When I am working on a book, I constantly retype my own sentences. Every day I go back to page one and just retype what I have. It gets me into a rhythm. Once I get over maybe a hundred pages, I won't go back to page one, but I might go back to page fifty-five or twenty, even. But then every once in a while I feel the need to go to page one again and start rewriting. At the end of the day, I mark up the pages I've done — pages or page — all the way back to page one." She is not, in other words, dashing things off. She is not mistaking writing for therapy — the salient difference between the page and a therapist's office being that not every thought in your head, every tiny moment of heartbreak, every fleeting fantasy or disappointment, is interesting to your reader.
Roiphe, a journalism professor at New York University, is the author most recently of "Uncommon Arrangements: Seven Marriages," and the forthcoming "In Praise of Messy Lives."

From the Alabama Department of Public Safety:
During this past Christmas and New Year's Day holiday travel
period that began at 12:01 a.m. Dec. 22 and ran through midnight Jan.
2, Alabama State Troopers investigated 13 fatal crashes resulting in 14
traffic deaths.
Two motorcyclists and one pedestrian
were among these traffic deaths, which occurred in Lamar, Mobile, Walker,
Pickens, Etowah, Madison, Marshall, Calhoun, Butler, DeKalb, Monroe, Blount and
Chambers counties. Although seat belts were available for 11 of the 14
individuals killed, only two of the 11 were wearing seat belts. At this time,
it is unknown whether alcohol was a factor in any of the fatal crashes as
Alabama State Troopers continue to investigate.
In 2011, during the same 12-day period,
Alabama State Troopers investigated 17 traffic fatalities. It is important to
note that troopers investigated 514 traffic deaths in 2012, 33 fewer than in
2011 and 121 fewer than in 2008. As the new year progresses, troopers encourage
the motoring public to continue to obey all traffic laws and make safety
a priority.
