Dr. Gino Strada is the founder of EMERGENCY, a global organization that brings free health care to war-torn countries. Strada is featured in the documentary film "Open Heart," which is nominated for Best Documentary Short Subject at this year's Academy Awards. The film follows eight Rwandan children who travel to Sudan for life-saving open-heart surgery. Strada, 64, resides in Khartoum, Sudan, where he spends at least nine months each year working at the Salam Center for Cardiac Surgery. For more information, check out the EMERGENCY website (http://www.emergency.it/en-index.html?511bdf712a4b0) or follow Strada on Twitter at (at)emergencyong and (at)emergencyusa.
Q. How did your travels affect your decision to found EMERGENCY?
A. As soon as you see how many people in the world live in so-called poor countries, you can't pretend that everything is OK and go on with your routine. EMERGENCY was born on this awareness and shared with friends and colleagues.
Q. What would people find surprising about Sudan?
A. The great collaboration when facilitating patients to come from all over Africa to enter the country to be operated on at the Salam Centre for cardiac surgery. Our patients come from over 24 African countries! On the tourist side, the Nubian pyramids of Meroe are incredible. It is truly an amazing archaeological site.
Q. What have you learned from you travels?
A. I learned how important it is to know how other people really live. We should be aware of all the nuances and cultures that exist in the world.
Q. What are your five favorite cities?
A. Venice, Rome, Kabul before the war, San Francisco and New York City.
Q. Where have you traveled to that most reminded you of home?
A. In the last 30 years, I've traveled a lot to very many places, but always for my work as a surgeon. I've been in the main theaters of war over the last years: Cambodia, Iraq, Rwanda and Afghanistan. ... Fortunately, they don't remind me of home. And, unfortunately, they are home for many people.
Q. Which place would you like to revisit?
A. I would love to go to a peaceful Afghanistan. The first time I went there was about 25 years ago. There was war, and now it has become worse and worse in the last years.
Q. What kind of research do you do before you go away on a trip?
A. Because my trips are mostly to work at EMERGENCY hospitals, I have to do ample research before the trips, and generally they are focused on the current political and social situations.
Q. Where are your favorite weekend getaways?
A. I'm not used to a weekend getaway. When I'm in Italy, I spend my time at home in Venice or Milan, which is the headquarters of EMERGENCY in Italy.
Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. Venice, the town where I actually reside. It's a wonderful city that flourishes on the exchanges between people.

Scotsman Article on JKR's Labor & DeliveryNews
March 28, 2003, 12:04 PM
iHarryPotter.net linked to an article in The Scotsman about the non-NHS midwife that JKR used for David's delivery last week. Midwife Debs Purdue didn't say much about the birth itself, to protect JKR's privacy, but she did say that the labour was short. As this editor is about to take her second trip through the wonders of childbirth, the article, as a whole, was very interesting for its look into the British traditions and practises of midwifery and National Health Service childbirth practises.

Disturbance leads to shooting
(Brunswick, Neb.)- A Nebraska State Patrol trooper is injured and a suspect is shot after a disturbance in Pierce and Antelope Counties
Just before 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, December 18, the Nebraska State Patrol received a request for assistance from the Pierce County Sheriff's Office for a man who was creating a disturbance after being turned away from the Zion Lutheran School. The man had been attempting to remove his children from the facility.
The man, who was driving a semi-trailer truck, left the school and drove to a convenience store in Plainview, where he threatened harm to himself and others. He then drove to his farm north and east of Brunswick where he set fire to the semi. The suspect then got behind the wheel of a red farm tractor and proceeded to ram outbuildings, a vehicle and several fuel tanks on the property. The suspect then drove the tractor across a field to another farm house where he damaged outbuildings on the property.
The suspect attempted to run into a Pierce County Sheriff's unit, before using the tractor to ram a Nebraska State Patrol unit responding to the scene. A trooper in a second unit fired at the tractor striking the suspect. The suspect then gave himself up and was taken into custody.
The trooper, whose patrol car was rammed, suffered a cut to his head and was transported by ambulance to a hospital in Creighton.
The suspect, a 38 year old male whose name has not been released, was transported by ambulance to the Plainview hospital and then flown by medical helicopter to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, IA, where he is being treated for a gunshot wound to his right side.

text: Fashion Insiders Style Breakdown 20 Ladies Who Make Us Wish Every Day Was International Women's Day by Hannah Weil 3/08/14 623 Reactions 761 Shares Print 244 116 206 195 0 Fashion Week is over, but we're nowhere near done celebrating its style stars. That's because today is International Women's Day, and nobody's inspiring our fashion sense around the globe like these ladies. Season after season, you can count on this elite group of insiders to deliver because beyond the big collections, industry upsets, and daily fashion news, these are the fashion world's real fixtures! Each one — be it Anna Dello Russo with her quintessentially over-the-top accessories and thigh-high minis or Olivia Palermo with her crafty mix of labels and layers — has captivated us with a style all her own, no matter what the passing trend. So, we're celebrating these style-setting stars with a look at the who's who of the fashion world's most fabulous. Source: Greg Kessler Jenna Lyons What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Creative director and president of J.Crew, veritable styling authority. Why we love her: Too many reasons to count, really (doesn't everyone have a girl crush on Jenna?!). She could single-handedly be credited with taking the J.Crew label from a sleepier American classic to full-on fashion brand, with collections showing at Fashion Week and a slew of successful designer collaborations under her belt. But it's not just her business savvy; it's her personal style. She's launched a legion of Lyons fans all looking to mimic her effortless and totally uncanny sartorial eye, which is no easy task. Key pieces: An unexpected arsenal of sequins, camo print, jacquard, boyfriend denim, and grandpa cardigans to mix and match. Rules to live by: layer fearlessly, and whenever in doubt, throw on a statement necklace and a great pair of heels. Source: Billy Farrell Agency 1 / 20 Shiona Turini What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Fashion market director at Cosmopolitan, former fashion market and beauty director at CR Fashion Book — and before that held accessories director and market editor posts at Teen Vogue and W, respectively. Why we love her: Practically a Fashion Week veteran at this point, with the résumé that proves it — we've loved watching Shiona hone her sophisticate-meets-rebel style. Without fail, there's at least one piece from every one of her outfits that we have to have, though her head-to-toe mashups (that typically border on edgy) are much harder to re-create, often crafted in layers of high-wattage accessories and designer finds. Key pieces: Sleek pencil skirts, fierce footwear, It bags, and cool-girl t-shirts. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 2 / 20 Nicole Warne What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Australian-born blogger and online vintage boutique owner (follow her online adventures and shop at Gary Pepper Girl). Why we love her: In a word, she's charming. But other words come to mind, too — creative, inventive, entrepreneurial, and utterly chic. She's a breath of fresh air in the street style crowd, offering ladylike wares and sharp suits instead of over-the-top accessories or blinding metallic footwear. Key pieces: She's clean, preppy, and playful, so bright pieces are a must and so is tailoring. Look for suits, classic stripes, and sweet dresses, then mix them up with vintage-feeling jewels and a pop of color on a structured bag. J.Crew is a must shop to nail this look. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 3 / 20 Christine Centenera What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Senior fashion editor at Vogue Australia. Why we love her: She nails the sleek brand of cool-girl styling like nobody else. Rumor has it Kanye West's Kim Kardashian makeover was even inspired by Centenera (who served as one of Kanye's fashion consultants on his own line). She has an eye for statement pieces but knows how to work a slick silhouette to counter studs, high-impact footwear, and edgy accent pieces. Key pieces: Centenera gravitates toward labels with a modern feel à la Balmain, Givenchy, and Tom Ford. She looks to architectural details, wrap skirts, asymmetrical hemlines, and strategic cuts to make an impact. As for the details, she's not afraid to go luxe with fur, leather, and bold booties and heels to finish even the most casual ensembles. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 4 / 20 Joanna Hillman What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Style director at Harper's Bazaar. Why we love her: As a style mix master and an industry insider, she's a constant source of inspiration (outfit and otherwise). Her résumé speaks for itself — a stylist's assistant alongside Lori Goldstein, three years as senior market editor at Teen Vogue — and so does her style. Her job is traveling the globe sourcing major trends and must haves, so it's only natural that Joanna has the personal styling skills to go with it. Key pieces: She's eclectic but with a posh edge. In her arsenal: fur layers, moto jackets, leather miniskirts and pants, and always an It bag and a red lip. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 6 / 20 Miroslava Duma What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Digital media director at TSUM, founder of Buro 24/7, Russian It girl. Why we love her: She's equal parts sweetheart and style rebel, stepping out in a sweet collared mini one minute and leather shorts and a tweedy cape the next. There's never a dull moment watching Miroslava make her way from show to show. Key pieces: Dresses from Miu Miu, YSL heels, and Chanel bags. Look to statement jewels, playful proportions, and sky-high heels to get the look. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 6 / 20 Caroline Issa What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Fashion director and publisher at Tank magazine and Because magazine. Why we love her: She's smart and style savvy — and what's better than that? She's a businesswoman who's launched a serious career on the front lines of the publishing world at Tank for the past 10 years. She's a real fashion entrepreneur in the industry and just as fun to watch about town and around the tents — or making a cameo in a J.Crew campaign. Key pieces: Caroline offers the sophisticate's take on the trends. She's daring with pops of color and statement accessories, but she doesn't lose sight of classic silhouettes. She always shows off an impeccable fit — and you can bet she's got a slim sheath dress and polished suiting in her arsenal. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 7 / 20 Natalie Joos What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Casting agent, fashion consultant, and blogger (check her out at Tales of Endearment). Why we love her: It's not hard to see — her passion for fashion is practically contagious. It's apparent from every vibrantly hued, printed, and heavily accessorized ensemble that she has fun with clothes. The Belgium-born style pro practically catapulted to street style fame (appearing alongside Taylor Tomasi Hill and Miroslava Duma at Fashion Week), all while casting major campaigns and shows for the likes of Helmut Lang, Karen Walker, and Hugo Boss. Key pieces: She's not afraid of bold hues, accents, prints, or cuts. She's equal parts quirky and polished — a lover of vintage and labels like Peter Pilotto, Stella McCartney, Pierre Hardy, and Marni. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 8 / 20 Carine Roitfeld What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Former editor in chief of Vogue Paris, founder and editor of CR Fashion Book. Why we love her: Carine's goth-sophisticate style is uniquely hers. She's cool, confident, and a little irreverent, making her all the more exciting to watch as she makes her way around Fashion Week in a sexy take on modern, womanly dressing. Key pieces: Slim-fit pencil skirts, button-downs, ankle-strap stilettos, statement-making boots, and a smoky eye. She also has a penchant for edgier labels like Givenchy and Balmain. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 9 / 20 Shala Monroque What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Art consultant, creative director at Garage magazine. Why we love her: With a love of vibrant color and fearless take on prints and outfit pairing, it makes sense that the Caribbean-born Shala works in both the fashion and art worlds. Her love of art has led her from her post at Pop magazine to take on her own venture (with close friend Dasha Zhukova) to collaborate on Garage — a magazine that combines culture, art, and, of course, fashion. Oh, and did we mention she's kind of Prada's unofficial muse? Key pieces: Full skirts, kitten heels (Prada, of course), and pops of brilliant color and whimsical print artfully balanced with ladylike cuts. Source: Getty 11 / 20 Taylor Tomasi Hill What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Former artistic director for Moda Operandi, previously style and accessories editor at Marie Claire. Why we love her: The gorgeous Taylor is a bit of a chameleon, crafting a brand of street style all her own with a slick balance of the latest trends and the most covetable couture that she carries effortlessly from front row to front row. Key pieces: A balance of feminine dressing, like pencil skirts, with more boyish staples, like a slouchy knit. She has an affinity for bold accessories, which she melds seamlessly into her look, be it a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, a statement necklace, a scarf, or even a bustier. Edgy lace-up heels or cutout Alaïa and Balenciaga footwear, Proenza Schouler knits, Phillip Lim, Chanel bags, and Rick Owens leather jackets are essentials. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 11 / 20 Olivia Palermo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Reality TV star turned trendsetter and editor of her own fashion website, OliviaPalermo.com. Why we love her: Olivia's won us over with her flawless styling. What can we say? She knows what works but isn't afraid to experiment either, boldly mixing prints, accessories, and labels. She'll accessorize a Valentino dress with Topshop heels or a Giambattista Valli shift with a Zara bag; when it comes to high-low mix-ups, Olivia is the mix master. Key pieces: Olivia's built a wardrobe rife with classics, like a great button-down, perfect-fit skinnies, and tailored blazers and trousers, but her outfit flair comes from a cool blend of the trends, like printed pants, lace-up booties, and peplum. Look to Olivia's favorite labels like Tibi, Giambattista, Valentino, and high-street finds from Topshop and Zara to channel her feminine, eclectic feel. Source: Getty 12 / 20 Anna Wintour What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Editor in chief of Vogue since 1988. Why we love her: What's Fashion Week without the editrix in chief? She's a style world institution, and spotting that signature bob at any show is a treat. Key pieces: Always totally polished and perfectly ladylike, Anna has an affinity for Carolina Herrera dresses and Manolos, but she'll mix it up with luxe furs, a statement coat, and a flash of jewels at her collar — signature oversize shades required. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 13 / 20 Elena Perminova What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Model and Russian socialite. Why we love her: You're most likely to spot Elena hanging with a veritable who's who of Russian fashion darlings (you know, Ulyana, Miroslava). But even when she isn't flanked by an army of fashion warriors, she's turning heads all on her own. With her supermodel frame and collection of straight-from-the-runway wares, she might as well be on the catwalk. Key pieces: Nothing is off limits. We've seen Elena embrace a veritable pu pu platter of trends with ease, donning Kenzo's It sweatshirt one minute and Dior the next. To keep up with this street style star, you need designers on speed dial and overnight delivery. Source: Le 21ème | Adam Katz Sinding, Greg Kessler, IMAXTREE 14 / 20 Poppy Delevingne What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: British model and fashion darling who has served as both brand ambassador for Chanel and the British Fashion Council — not to mention Cara Delevingne's big sis. Why we love her: Good looks aside, Poppy has a way with clothes. The leggy blonde is a natural at trendspotting and high-low styling with labels like ASOS and Topshop. Her looks are covetable while seeming totally accessible. And since the style setter is also engaged, we're eagerly awaiting what will surely be a major wedding-dress moment. Key pieces: Poppy relies on downtown staples like leather jackets, miniskirts, rocker-chic tees, and ankle boots to mix with more polished pieces like fitted trousers and tweedy jackets. The It girl has a soft spot for Chanel and Isabel Marant. Source: IMAXTREE, Getty 15 / 20 Emmanuelle Alt What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Editor in chief of Vogue Paris. Why we love her: Emmanuelle is a testament to knowing what works and sticking to it, and you have to admire that. Given that she is constantly surrounded by the latest trends and momentary fads, it's kind of refreshing that she holds firm to her own slightly rocker-infused, Parisian-chic style formula. Key pieces: Menswear-style button-downs, skinny trousers, blazers, and pumps. For a little variation, Emmanuelle will look to cutout booties or throw a vest, fringed jacket, or printed coat over her "uniform." Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 16 / 20 Sarah Rutson What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Fashion director at Lane Crawford. Why we love her: This Hong Kong fashion vet is a trendsetter. She's totally tapped into the Asian fashion market — an explosive destination for the future of designers and the industry at large. But she's just as chic as she is smart; you can spot her at Fashion Week with a slick mix of what's new. She never goes overboard. Her outfits are not costume-like but rather a calculated assortment of the season's It trends that look entirely effortless — never like work. Key pieces: Pencil skirts, bold prints, tailored outerwear, and sophisticated-cum-trendsetting heels. Look for labels like Carven, Alexander Wang, Givenchy, and Alaïa heels. Source: Greg Kessler 17 / 20 Anna Dello Russo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Editor at large and creative consultant for Vogue Japan. Why we love her: What's not to love about the totally eccentric Anna? The fashion veteran is practically a show unto herself come Fashion Week and, really, all year round. Her passion for fashion knows no bounds — need the proof? She's confessed to using adhesive heating pads to strut her stuff in minidresses in the dead of Winter. And with her love of bold print, color, and statement accessories, her H&M collaboration was nothing short of a big deal. Key pieces: When it comes to ADR, more is more (well, except when it comes to her thigh-high hemlines). Opt for major baubles, embellished heels, high-impact shades, and hats and fascinators to dress the part. She doesn't have a go-to designer per se, but you can find her in bold prints by Peter Pilotto, Marni, and Prada and sexier silhouettes from Dolce & Gabbana and Versace. When it comes to getting this look, go big or go home. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 18 / 20 Hanneli Mustaparta What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Model turned street style blogger, stylist, and Vogue contributor. Why we love her: The Norwegian beauty started out in front of the camera but quickly established herself as a talent behind the lens, taking street style to her own blog. The genetically blessed Hanneli makes taking fashion risks (like hot pants and crop tops) look easy and balances a crafty cool-girl aesthetic with classic pieces like structured handbags, blazers, and button-downs. We love the surprise factor in her Fashion Week looks — whether it's a pair of thigh-high lace-ups or a shot of high-octane color, she always throws us a curveball. Key pieces: Hanneli relies on an eclectic, bold mix but favors designers like Mulberry, Stella McCartney, and Phillip Lim. Stick to chunky sweaters, platform ankle boots, minis and shorts (to show off your stems), cropped knits, and quirky shades (and a camera in hand) to zero in on her look. Source: IMAXTREE, Greg Kessler 19 / 20 Ulyana Sergeenko What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Who: Designer and member of the Russian fashion pack. Why we love her: Even if you don't know her name, you've likely seen her in countless street style photos, making her way around the globe's Fashion Week events in a breathtaking display of couture. She indulges our fashion fantasies, bringing Dior ballgowns to life on the street and daring to wear headpieces and the highest of heels with total abandon. Key pieces: Not your ordinary lineup of trendy wares. To get this look, invest in the real thing — like iconic Louis Vuitton dresses — or re-create the feel with totally feminine, ornately embellished full skirts, blouses, and dresses. When in doubt, repeat after us: drama, drama, drama.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information

This amazing trip provides a unique opportunity to see the highlights of the Russian capital in one day.
Accompanied by a St. Petersburg guide, you will transfer from the cruise ship pier to the St. Petersburg railway station for a 4-hour ride on a "Sapsan" high-speed train. Your train may reach speeds as high as 160 miles per hour as you travel through the Russian countryside. During your train ride, relax and enjoy a boxed breakfast on board.
Arriving at the railway station in Moscow, you will be greeted by a local guide who will accompany you during your visit of the city. Your sightseeing begins with a drive to Red Square, traveling via the city center. En route, you will see how the years of communism have affected peoples' lives and the architecture of the city. From Red Square you will have an excellent view of the world-famous St. Basil Cathedral with its multi-colored, onion-shaped domes. This location also provides a perfect opportunity for photos of the Kremlin towers and Lenin's Tomb (on occasion, time constraints or activities taking place in Red Square may prevent an up-close view of the tomb). During your tour, you will also take a short ride on the Moscow metro. Muscovites are justifiably proud of their metro system. Not only is it an efficient and reliable means of public transport, it is also recognized as a museum of sorts, as many of its stations are richly decorated with mosaics, crystal chandeliers and marble columns and walls.
Mid-day, you will stop for a refreshing coffee break. This short rest period will give you a boost of energy to continue exploring the very heart of Moscow - the Kremlin. Arriving at the Kremlin, a 15th-century fortress complex located in the center of the city, you will tour the Armory Chamber. The Armory holds an amazing collection of Russian treasures, including court regalia, jewelry, coronation gowns, armor, golden carriages and some of the fabulous Easter Eggs created for the tsars by Karl Faberge. During your time here, you will also visit the stunning 15th-century Byzantine-style Assumption Cathedral, the oldest and most important church in the Kremlin. It was in this revered Cathedral that tsars were selected and crowned, decrees were read, and solemn rites celebrated.
Leaving the Kremlin, you'll enjoy a relaxing panoramic drive through Moscow as you make your way up to Sparrow Hills. From this wonderful vantage point you'll be treated to some marvelous views of the entire city. Afterwards, a lavish dinner, complete with sparkling wine awaits you. Following dinner, your fantastic day in Moscow ends with a transfer to the train station where you'll board your high speed train for the return journey to St. Petersburg.
Please note: This tour includes extensive walking, at times over cobblestone surfaces and there are steps to negotiate at the venues. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. All guests who wish to participate in the tour should carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. The most convenient restrooms available will be on the train, at the Armory Museum and at the dining venue. You may wish to obtain some rubles in St. Petersburg the day before (via bank or ATM) to make purchases in Moscow. There is also an ATM inside the G.U.M. store. Bring small denomination bills for bargaining, if desired, with street vendors. Shoulders and legs should be covered for entry into the cathedrals in Moscow. A visa for Moscow is included in the price of the tour and is valid only for Moscow. The Kremlin is closed on Thursdays and calls on this day of the week will not include visits to the Armory Chamber or Assumption Cathedral. A visit to the New Maiden Convent and a boat ride along the Moskva River will be substitued. This tour has a limited capacity; therefore, it is recommended that guests pre-book this tour as early as possible. The tour departure time and duration may vary dependent upon train schedules.

It took a three-day hearing and several mental health exams but a judge has ruled trial can proceed for a Detroit woman charged in the deadly stabbing of her daughter.
Semeria Greene was found mentally competent to stand trial in the death of her 8-year-old daughter in December. The stabbing happened about five weeks after court officials turned down a request by the state to remove Tameria Greene and her siblings from their home. The girl's 4-year-old brother told police he witnessed Tameria being stabbed.
Greene previously had been found incompetent for trial and was ordered to undergo several mental health exams.
Defense attorney Cornelius Pitts says he plans to appeal the judge's latest decision. A preliminary exam on the murder charges is set for August 7.

Here's a recap of Sunday's happenings from the NFL Scouting Combine:
Jenkins working hard to conquer demons
INDIANAPOLIS — North Alabama CB Janoris Jenkins is widely considered a blue-chip talent with a well-documented chip on his shoulder and more than a few red flags.
It comes as no surprise, therefore, that Jenkins, who is tabbed to be selected as the last player in the first round in the Pro Football Weekly 2012 Draft Guide, was bombarded by questions about his checkered past in his Sunday interview with the national media.
Intent on making as good an impression as humanly possible, the big-time, small-school talent spoke about his failed drug test at Florida (which led to his transfer to North Alabama) and his three arrests — two for possession of marijuana and one resulting from a bar fight.
Just what exactly is he doing to overcome the demons that have dominated a good part of his young life up to now?
"Eliminating myself from some of those guys I used to hang with," he said. "I think about my mom all the time and my (four) kids. In order for me to be successful and then to have a great life or a nice life I've got to put it behind me. In order for my kids to get what they want,
"I (need to) be a father to my kids and just be there with my mom.
As sticky a cover corner as there is in this year's draft crop, Jenkins was asked if he believes he's sending a positive message to the teams that have interviewed him.
"Some teams, I feel like they like it," he replied. "I'm going to continue to open up and just be honest. I admitted to everything, I take full responsibility, and I learned from it.
"It has made me a stronger person, taught me how to fight through reality. That I've got to separate myself from certain guys,certain people. To be successful at the next level I can't do the things I used to do."
Especially smoking marijuana.
"I'm done with it forever, man," Jenkins said. "I can't do it. It's something I can't let myself do again."
Jenkins' four kids, he says, are the biggest reason why he feels he has to stay on the straight and narrow at all costs.
"I have three boys and one girl (between the ages of three months and three years)," he said. "Whenever I go home, they call me. I'm there. Got to be there.
"For what I've been through, four years of my career, ups and downs, saying they're going to be there with me through thick and thin. I'm very grateful for a second chance."
Jenkins' raw talent — he is widely considered capable of starting at the pro level both inside and outside — is primarily responsible for giving him that second chance.
"They see the talent," he said. "They just want to know what kind of kid I am. I came in here to show 'em I'm not a bad kid. I made a few mistakes and I learned from 'em. Everything I did, I did. I'm admitting it. I did it. I'm looking to put that in my past and moving forward."
Jenkins said that Bengals 2011 first-rounder A.J. Green, who went to Georgia, was the toughest receiver that Jenkins ever faced.
"Six-(foot)-6, 205 (pounds), fast, great hands, great route-running," Jenkins said of Green, who made quite a splash as a rookie. "He liked to compete."
Receivers such as Green and 2011 Falcons first-rounder Julio Jones have given Jenkins confidence that he can make it at the next level.
"It gives me confidence, but I can't look past nobody in the league," he said. "Everybody in the league, they're there for a reason.
"They love to compete, they're great players."

North Carolina DE Coples looks to shed slacker label
So why didn't Quinton Coples have a better senior season at North Carolina?
Scouts are in agreement that he has all the tools to be a dominant player. He's an elite talent and it's likely that he will be the first defensive end drafted this year, despite questions about his competitiveness and makeup. When he faced the media at the Scouting Combine on Saturday, Coples spent much of his time trying to explain why there is a perception that he too rarely gives maximum effort and is an underachiever that may never fully realize his potential.
It was obvious that he was prepared for the onslaught.
"I criticize myself harder than other people can, so I'm definitely prepared for whatever comments or whatever needs to be said about me," Coples said.
He offered some reasons — excuses, really — when asked how he responds to criticism that he loafed as a Tar Heel, and suggested that the coaching change at North Carolina before his senior season didn't help his development.
"I just keep it honest," he said. "It was a situation that my coach asked me to make a change. I made that change and I think I think I ran into some things a little more than I should have instead of just playing the game that I love.
"It kind of affected my game. But overall, I went to the Senior Bowl, I did some things and I showed them that I can compete at the highest level."
Coples followed up a 10-sack junior season with a 7½-sack performance as a senior, but his stock remains high. An impressive showing at the Combine only will strengthen his case to be among the top 10 players off the board in April, and he doesn't agree with those suggesting he doesn't go all-out on every play.
"I can see where it can look like that on film, but overall I definitely felt like I did a good job and did the right thing and just did the little sacrifices for my team, to help my team out," Coples said. "And that's what was important to me at the time."
He sounded like a player that wouldn't allow personal ambition get in the way of team goals, even if it didn't necessarily help him make more splash plays that jump out on tape, and we checked with North Carolina CB Charles Brown, who is also in Indianapolis for the Combine, on Sunday to get a better sense of what kind of teammate Coples is.
"He was a good teammate," said Brown. "He worked hard. He did his thing. He showed up, had some sacks, put pressure on the quarterback. He made my job easier."
Brown had no complaints.
Back at the podium on Saturday, reporters kept on giving Coples opportunities to respond to critiques. He was asked why would it look like he's not working hard.
"Well, you know, I'm a big guy," he said. "I'm long-strider, things of that nature, so where it may come fast to me in a game, on film it's slowing down a little bit. You know, people have their own opinions. Some people don't even think it was a problem."
Yet, when he was asked for the parts of his game that he can improve, Coples only mentioned issues related to concentration and effort.
"Just more get-off on the ball," he said. "(Being) more focused and more practice like a professional. I think I did things right and made plays, and that's all well. To be a professional and to be great you have to work hard all the time and do those small things that I did, but didn't master like I think I should have."
Coples' rare combination of size, athleticism, power and speed already has made him one of the most intriguing prospects in the draft, but there is a buyer-beware label that he didn't shed this weekend at the Combine. The interview process with teams in Indianapolis will be an opportunity he has to take advantage of. There will be skeptics, though, until he gets back on the field and plays with more consistent effort on Sundays than he appeared to on Saturdays.
His production has yet to match his talent level.
"A lot of people have a lot of high expectations for me, and I appreciate that," Coples said. "But when you're playing the game of football, you have ups and downs. You have things that happen that don't go as planned.
"I think it was a situation that happened that I had to learn from from, I matured from, and I think I'll reap the benefits at the next level."
— Dan Parr
CB Norman prideful of small-school experience
Few players seemed to enjoy the podium as much as Coastal Carolina CB Josh Norman.
Yet another small-school corner in Indy for the NFL Scouting Combine, Norman is PFW's fifth-ranked man-coverage corner and is projected as a second- to third-round pick. He seemed to answer almost every question with a smile while discussing his experience playing at a small school.
"I say we get looked over a bit, just because we are a small school," Norman said. "(Division) I-A guys, they always get the first nod in everything. They're on TVs and shows and radio stations."
Norman was then asked if he had more to prove at the Combine than the big-school players.
"I would say you have a little bit more of a chip on your shoulder, more than anything else," he responded. "Everything you do on that level is harder than (at the big-school) level, you have to have a perfect game almost every week."
Norman put up big numbers in his career with 13 interceptions and 35 pass breakups. He also had four forced fumbles. He admitted that he amped up his game when Coastal Carolina played BCS teams such as Penn State and Clemson.
"Oh yeah, I had to (dial it up). That's when all the people are out. I love the fans, it gets something going about you — going out there and playing in front of (fans) yelling and screaming," Norman said.
Measuring it at over 6-feet, Norman knows his size is important to ciover the big receivers in the NFL.
"(Size) is a big factor. The 6-(foot)-5s like the (Calvin Johnsons) are going over people, making it look easy," he said.
He might have the size, but that didn't stop Division-I teams from passing over Norman in the recruitment process.
"If you look into my background, I kind of slipped between the rocks and crevices. There's a lot of guys out there like that. When they get their chance, (they have to) make the best of the opportunity they have," he said.
Georgia was Norman's closest chance to play big-time college football. "That was dependent on my SAT score, but they took the second guy — even though I got a 1010, I'll say that much," he joked. "No hard feelings; they had to do what they had to do."
In January, Norman had the unique experience of playing in two all-star games — the East-West Shrine game and the Senior Bowl. He was a late addition to the Senior Bowl but was still able to get plenty of time with NFL coaches and in front of scouts.
"It was really fun. I learned a lot. (What) I took most out of that was the technique. I had never looked at a quarterback and got a three-step read off of him before and played it nine yards. It was new to me. It was fun," he said.
Coastal Carolina may be a small school, but Norman is far from the first to go to the NFL from that school. He mentioned Jerome Simpson, Mike Tolbert and Tyler Thigpen, all Coastal Carolina alums and players he keeps in touch with. His allegiance to his school didn't end there, as Norman said the best wide receiver he faced in college was his teammate, Matt Hazel.
In terms of his strengths, Norman said his technique, fluidness, "steps and pedals," are things that set him out from the other cornerbacks. He also showed off quite the memory when asked if he had given up any touchdowns last season.
"It was the last game of the season. It was a sluggo (slant-and-go), inside route and he hitched it and went up the field," he said.
It didn't seem like Norman had much of a regret about not playing at a big school, showing a pride for his small-school roots.
"The reason why I wanted to go to Coastal was that stigma of the small schools comapred to the big schools. Things are pretty much handed to you (at big schools)," he said. "You never have to work as hard as you do on that level to get where you have to go. I think I take that more so with me than anything else, the hard work that you have to put into it and not being spoiled."

Toon navigates through injuries, Madison and big footsteps
WR Nick Toon has never had a 1,000-yard season. No Wisconsin wideout has. Not in the past six seasons anyway. That's simply the way the Badgers play, and Toon said he is fine with that.
"I knew that going into it," Toon said. "One of the reasons that I went to Wisconsin is that they do a good job of developing complete players and that's one of the things that I think I do well, one of the things I pride myself on, as far as my game is concerned. I feel that I'm a complete receiver, a complete player. I can play and do well in all aspects of the game."
Madison, Wis., would hardly seem to be the ultimate destination for wideouts with lofty dreams. The Badgers haven't had a receiver eclipse the millennium mark since TE Travis Beckum pulled off the feat in 2005. That's the way it generally works at Wisconsin. Tight ends lead the way, and wide receivers fade into the background. That's the type of power football that has prevailed at the school for what seems like an eternity. And that's what makes Toon's numbers so impressive.
He totaled 805 receiving yards on 54 receptions in his sophomore year, before a right turf toe injury kept him out for a good portion of his junior season.
"I've struggled with injuries a little bit over my last two seasons but it's part of the game," Toon said. "You've got to take it for what it's worth. Learn from it, get healthy, move forward. It's just an obstacle. There will always be obstacles in this game."
Toon was able to move forward in a big way during the 2011 season, starting 13 games and grabbing a career-high 926 receiving yards with 10 touchdown receptions — he had a total of eight TD catches the previous three seasons.
After earning second-team All-Big Ten honors, Toon was fairly simplistic in his analysis of his final campaign for the Badgers.
"It was a better season than I had last year and that's all you can ask for," Toon said. "Either you're getting better or you're getting worse."
Toon came up clutch when his team needed him the most, notching a career-high nine receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Rose Bowl against Oregon. But Toon said that the sky is the limit, even after his best season.
"My potential is still definitely not reached," said Toon, who measures 6-1½, 213 pounds. "I still have a long way to go, and by no means have I reached my full potential."
He certainly has big footsteps to follow in. His father, Al Toon, was also a wideout at Wisconsin, and although Nick passed his father in collegiate receiving yards last season, he's got a much steeper climb awaiting him when it comes to passing his father as an NFL receiver.
Al Toon hit it big with the New York Jets in the late 1980s, earning three trips to the Pro Bowl. A couple inches taller than his son, Al had 900-plus receiving yards in four of his eight NFL seasons. But Nick would be hard-pressed to remember any of that. He was only 4 years old when his father decided to call it quits. Al's final game remains one of Nick's few lasting memories of his father's NFL days.
"I actually distinctly remember, and this is one of the only memories I have with him, after his last game, I went down on the field and kind of walked around with him and he carried me around the field," Toon said. "I remember hanging out at the facilities, playing around on the practice field and the locker room and stuff but that's about it."
With so few memories from his dad's career, Toon is looking forward to creating his own memories on the fields of the NFL, and while he would play just about anywhere, he hinted at an early preference for Lambeau Field.
"That'd be awesome," Toon said. "I obviously watch the Packers, was a fan of the Packers growing up and I think the Wisconsin fans would love it as well."

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
If you spend enough time with designers, you quickly realize that many of them can't resist test-driving the wares on which they're currently working. In terms of fashion's time-space continuum, that means they're wearing today what they'll be selling to you a year from now. At her first official trunk show last night at Tribeca's Renwick Gallery—a double billing with her friend Megan Marrin's jewelry line M. Graves—the talented young bag lady Katherine Fleming had such a piece tucked under her arm: a slightly oversized envelope in navy snake streaked with gray stripes. Season: Spring 2010. Fleming happily spilled that it will be priced very reasonably for an exotic skin—around $500. (I would definitely put that trip to Barneys or Opening Ceremony on your calendar!) In fact, Fleming's upcoming spring range will feature quite a few pieces hovering around that sweet spot price, and without forsaking quality, either. "I'm still making everything in Italy," Fleming explained. "I think it's still possible to do that. I don't want to move to China like everyone else." Into the more distant future for Fleming is footwear. "I'm dying to do shoes," she said. "But we want to wait until we're in the right place and have the right partner." Though that hasn't stopped the shoe obsessive from sketching her interlocking-K logo into teetering sandals. But who designed the bondage-y black pair she wore last night with her ultrachic navy Marc Jacobs dress? "They're from Zara," she confessed, having bought them while in Florence for her Parsons' schoolmates Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez's show at Pitti W. "I've never gotten so many compliments on a pair of shoes," Fleming added. "Even Lazaro asked me about them."

No! You Need a Marketing Plan With The Right Social Media Tools!I attended a seminar run by Ric Dragon of Dragon Search Marketing. It was not the usual Social Media pitch. like how to create a Facebook page or how to write a blog.
It was a process that for some would seem... well... backwards! However it expresses the need to start with Outcomes.
Why Start with Outcomes?Well, if you don't know where you want to go (the outcome), then how do you know how to get there? Simple... right?
Notice that the "creative Solutions", which are your blog, Facebook page, Twitter, Pinterest, etc... are 6 steps deep in the plan.
So why don't you start with Outcomes? Because the fun part is seeing your Facebook page being created... Outcomes require strategic thinking. AND, it also means you might develop outcomes that you just can't execute... scary thought isn't it?
Check out his slide presentation here.
What are Your Outcomes for Your Food Business?
Can you tell me what your Outcomes are? If so let me know and maybe we can blog about your food business.

DEADLINE NEWSROOM – Most real estate professionals who violate copyright laws say they didn't know they were breaking the law, a response that should raise some eyebrows, given their allegiance to a code ethics and professional business practices.
In the brave new world of information technology, real estate professionals would serve their profession well by boning up on copyright protection law.
Members of the realty industry, primarily real estate agents, who were asked to remove copyright protected editorial content from their Web site or blog typically did so, but often only after claiming ignorance, a position which is not legally defensible.
As the saying goes, "ignorance of the law is no excuse".
A smaller number of real estate professionals out right refused to return stolen published goods and sometimes become indignant, belligerent, even possessive of work legally belonging to someone else.
No matter the reaction, copyright violations — the theft of intellectual property — is a federal crime, and potentially a felony when repeated. It's policed by the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
Not long after the advent of the Internet, the FBI set up a cyber crime unit specifically to address how the Internet inherently made pilfering everything from the written word to CD tracks as easy as clicking a mouse.
Today, cyber criminals also find the Net easy pickings when it comes to fingering major motion pictures and other video content and the FBI is on the case.
In its Securities Exchange Commission filing, Google Inc. announced it had set aside more than $200 million in its recent acquisition of YouTube Inc. to cover possible losses from potential suits stemming from the large number of pirated videos posted on the newly acquired, successful video-sharing site.
Universal Music Group, the world's largest music company, recently filed a lawsuit against popular social networking site MySpace for copyright infringement of thousands of its artists' works.
Book publishers and authors are also challenging Google's plan to scan copyrighted books and make them searchable online.
Copyright violations at pandemic levels
The habit of snatching copyrighted editorial content from one Web site and posting it on another — fully unedited, uncut and without license, purchase or permission — is criminal behavior that has reached particularly alarming proportions in the real estate industry.
Copyright infringement is pandemic, reaching well into other industries, but the real estate industry has a particular penchant for editorial content.
That's because editorial content sells well in the real estate world where informed consumers become paying clients who are much easier to serve than less informed consumers.
The currency of good, useful knowledge that really hits home is what pays buyers and sellers to visit realty Web sites and blogs when they aren't buying and selling — which is most of the time.
A savvy real estate agent knows a captive audience is a powerful marketing tool.
UNFORTUNATELY, the desire to present a blog or Website that's more user-informative and less a log of bull and listings is driving some real estate professionals to cheat at a criminal level.
A real estate writer who regularly polices the Internet for copyright violations of his work, searched a single blog service provider, Google's popular Blogger.com, for incidents of his byline and received 402 hits. Virtually every hit was a real estate industry blog, not surprisingly.
Also see: Why is plagiarism so rampant in realty blogs?
What was surprising was that after spending hours painstakingly examining the first 100 incidents, the writer found more than three in 10 of the blogs had lifted not only his but other authors' articles completely from their approved publishing site and placed it on their company blog.
The vast majority of the 100 bloggers also lifted and published the true publisher's copyright mark, as if they had permission to do so.
In his unscientific research, the real estate writer emailed the first 25 bloggers about the purloined editorial content asking them to remove the articles or prove they had been licensed to use it.
Again, most complied, removed the editorial content, claimed they didn't know it was illegal and apologized.
Copyright law ignorance is not uncommon.
A major ongoing class action copyright protection lawsuit filed by writers' groups and freelance writers against a group of prominent publishers would indicate even professional purveyors of the written word, have their own interpretation of the copyright law.
Ignorance of the law no excuse
Most professionals, however, should know better. Trade groups with ethics policies frown on the practice.
The National Association of Realtors ethics code, for example, to which members are supposed to adhere, clearly advises "NAR encourages its members to respect others' intellectual property rights just as we ask others to respect ours," according to a spokesman.
That's because editorial content crookery is not unlike one Web site framing or otherwise publishing listings it obtained, without rights, from the legal owner — a matter that, ironically, has raised the legal hackles of real estate trade groups again and again, sometimes in courts of law.
It's a crime.
A copyright violation is a theft of someone elses property, just as are the crimes of pick pocketing, shoplifting, car jacking, burglary or bank robbery.
It's a crime not unlike a real estate agent taking a listing, marketing the property, selling it and then collecting the commission only to have another agent in the office come by and swipe the check off his desk.
It's stealing.
Copyright laws simply apply to a different kind of service or product. It's called intellectual property.
"Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (Title 17, U. S. Code) to the authors of 'original works of authorship,' including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works," according to the U.S. Copyright Office.
"Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is created in fixed form. The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of the author who created the work," the law says.
"Only the author or those deriving their rights through the author can rightfully claim copyright."
The law is clear, but some of the reasons real estate professionals give for porting copyright-protected editorial content to their blogs are startling, given professionals are bound by a code of ethical, law-abiding behavior.
Some expect gratitude.
"You could thank me for posting your piece, and of course, properly attributing to you….but then that's your choice," said one.
Others do it because, well, they can.
"Please provide proof of ownership of listed article," demanded another, who had already illegally published the article with the writer's name clearly attached.
Still others offer crassly contradictory reasons steeped in hypocrisy.
"I have given credit to you in my, blog but am unwilling to pay you to give you credit for your article. Frankly, it's not worth anything to me," wrote a mortgage broker who found enough value in the "worthless" article to lift it for placement on his blog.
What's most amazing is that the broker works for a company with an English language word that specifically means "quality of being honest and having strong moral principles".
"The information in your article is public information and I am a fair to competent writer myself," the broker railed, offering a personal interpretation of the term "public information."
And there are strange, unrelated justifications.
"I have people steal loans from me all of the time. They do it by shopping for the lowest rate or fee, even after I've been working with them for a while."
Not surprisingly, not a single real estate professional, who published the author's copyright protected material, agreed to go public with his or her reasons.
But the point here is not to name names or try these real estate professionals in the press, but to inform them and others who would be copyright violators.
Why copyright protection exists
From a legal standpoint, for the layperson, here's the properly attributed comments from RealtyTimes' editor Blanche Evans in a previous article on the subject, "Just Say 'No' To Copyright Violations".
"Just follow these golden copyright rules: If you don't own it, it isn't yours. If you have to get it from someone else, then it's theirs. If it belongs to someone else, it probably isn't free, so there will most likely be conditions attached to using it. All you have to (do to) find out what they (conditions) are, is to ask. If you want to use anything that belongs to someone else, always ask."
Like most laws, the copyright law isn't a violation of or in conflict with other rights or privileges, but an attempt at fairness and equity on behalf of the person who created the intellectual property. The law comes with "fair use" exceptions allowing non-commercial entities, including charities and educational institutions, to use certain materials for charitable and educational purposes.
Anyone who regularly handles copyright protected materials has a duty to know at least the law's basic tenets and the principles behind its power.
From a more practical standpoint, nabbing copyright protected work for your blog implies permission has been granted. If that editorial content is used out of context, say to make a point about some heated issue, there's the potential for an implied agreement or disagreement from the author, which the author likely never intended.
Such use could bring on a libel suit, in addition to charges of copyright violation. No matter what favor you may think you are doing a writer, no matter how little value you attribute to the editorial content or to the efforts that went into producing it and no matter how many reasons you can come up with to justify a copyright violation, no one wants their work stolen and bandied about like worthless fodder.
Stolen copyright protected property is often devalued property, watered down by frequent appearances. That gives it a canned, everybody-owns-it value. When that's the case, by extension, nobody wants it.
Bottom line?
There's always a bottom line for someone's hard work.
Intellectual property has value.
If you reduce or remove that value in any way, you could be liable for those losses.
Follow the legal golden copyright protection rules instead of looking for loopholes that could snag you in a court suit.
Ignorance doesn't give anyone a free pass to break the law.
Educate yourself.

Angel's Watch Inn - what can I say but WOW!!!! It is everything it says it is and more. Traveling from TN and not being familiar with the area it was great to stay someplace where everyone is excited about you being there and their sole purpose is to make your stay as wonderful as possible. My (now wife) and I had been a couple for 12 years and never thought that we would get the chance to have a real wedding. We kept our relationship hid from everyone and I mean everyone. Neither of our families would be happy and I did not want to risk loosing friends. It is so hard to be in love and not be able to share it with the people around you. Up until I called and spoke with Peggy at Angel's watch I had never admitted this to any one or even said it out loud; but here I was so excited about being able to be married. When I booked the wedding over the phone Peggy was so warm and welcoming and non-judgmental and excited about our choice to get married. Once we arrived for the special day every detail was taken care of - cake, pictures, video, etc. It was our own special wedding. Unfortunately we did not have any family there to help us celebrate - however now I feel like we have new family - Peggy and Bill and Nora. They celebrated with us and were happy for us and made us feel so happy and excited. The wedding and the feeling of love and acceptance helped us to be able to tell friends and family about our relationship once we returned. I know this is long but it is important and needs to be said. If any of you out there are hesitant about getting married or choosing Angel's Watch DON'T!!!! Life is to short not to share a committed relationship with the one you love and the added benefit of having the wonderful people at Angel's Watch plan everything well there is nothing more you can ask for. I hope this helps you to make the best decision you will ever make. Thanks!!!!

This is a wonderful, quaint, romantic place to get married. My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with the beauty, cleanliness, and attention to detail that the owners and staff provided for our wedding. Peggy, Bill, Diane and Nora went above and beyond to make our small, intimate wedding absolutely perfect. From the flowers, to the cake, to the photos, to breakfast the next morning - everything was done to perfection. The owners and staff are very warm and welcoming, and make you feel right at home. I would highly recommend planning a wedding here if you are looking for an intimate, beautiful wedding that is cost effective. My husband and I will be returning for anniversaries to come!

Angels watch is now one of the most special places on earth to us, and we will forever cherish the memories made there. Peggy and Bill are above and beyond WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for a once in a lifetime wedding. We love you and will see you Sept 2011. Love Karla and Cassandra

We chose the best bed and breakfast on the CT Shoreline for our small wedding. It was wonderful- the inn, the amenities, the rooms and the hospitality. We will come back every year!

The Angels Watch Inn exceeded our expectations. From our first communication via phone we could feel the warm and hospitality of the owners. On our actual wedding day our hostess went above and beyond to ensure every small detail was in order. She made us feel welcomed and made our wedding day even more romantic and special. Words can not explain how grateful we are. Thanks Bill and Peggy. We will certainly recommend and visit the inn again. Annette M.

This is the most romantic place I've ever stayed. My fiance and I stayed in the "Back Room" a few weekends after we got engaged (Aug08) and we had a wonderful time. The room isn't huge, but the beautiful décor easily made up for it. The bathroom murals were especially cute, and they give you bubble bath for the enormous tub. The complimentary drinks and snacks were a nice touch, and the welcome champagne was a real treat. They also have a wide selection of video's to watch. They also gave us a little basket full of extra large beach towels. The shore is a short walk away, but that area wasn't great for swimming in August. The next day we asked the inn keeper for advise and he was very helpful and recommended a great beach just over the Rhode Island border. There's also plenty of great dining options nearby. My favorite was the lobster rolls at Bill's Seafood Restaurant, but Pazzo's was also very good.

I have stayed here twice (actually the first time was when we were married). The hosts are superb - really make you feel like family. The rooms are clean and quaint. Great experience.
