How will prostate cancer affect you?
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Australia. It is estimated that last year alone, almost 20,000 Australian men were diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 3,300 are estimated to have lost their life to this disease. More men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year than women diagnosed with breast cancer. Yet, too little recognition is given to the devastating impact this disease has on those diagnosed with prostate cancer, and the Australian community at large.
Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) is working hard to make a difference in the fight against this all-too-common disease, but we cannot do it alone. Every Australian who has a father, son, husband, partner, grandfather, uncle or male loved one has a role to play.
In only ten years, PCFA has achieved much to help Australian men and their families affected by prostate cancer, but there is still so much to do.
With no government funding, PCFA instead relies on the generosity of corporate partners, individuals and the community to help continue its essential work through a Fighting Fund. This fund helps to reduce the impact of prostate cancer on Australian men and their loved ones - those Australians who know too clearly the devastating impact that prostate cancer can have.
Think of us when you update your will or consider making a bequest.

Let's say you're me and you're in math class, and you're supposed to be learning about factoring. Trouble is, your teacher is too busy trying to convince you that factoring is a useful skill for the average person to know with real-world applications ranging from passing your state exams all the way to getting a higher SAT score and unfortunately does not have the time to show you why factoring is actually interesting. It's perfectly reasonable for you to get bored in this situation. So like any reasonable person, you start doodling.[more inside]

Shunra VE 5.0 takes away app performance guesswork
Latest Shunra models networks for application testing
It's always nice to know how an enterprise application will perform before it goes live – before your phone lights up with calls from annoyed users. One way to cut down on angry calls is to use a WAN simulation package and test before deployment. There are a few ways this can be done using off-the-shelf hardware and open source programs, but you generally get what you pay for (or don't), and miss out on the test automation, ease of use, and comprehensive reporting that accompany commercial products.
[ ShunraVE 5.0 was selected for an InfoWorld Technology of the Year award. See the slideshow of all winners in the networking category. ]
Click for larger view.
Good things just get better
My experience with Shunra goes back a few years, and over that time, I have seen the product mature to the point where it has to be considered an indispensable tool for anyone rolling out a new network-based product or needing to know how a data replication will perform across the WAN. Most recently, I used Shunra in a round of WAN acceleration and optimization tests and have come to rely on it completely because of its ease of use and consistency. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate loading up a WAN definition and knowing it will behave the same every time it runs.
Installing the hardware onto the test bench took only five minutes. Simply connect to the management port to the administrative network and the test hardware to the other 10/100Mbps copper or 2 Gigabit fiber interfaces, and you are almost ready to go. The brain of the operation is the VE Suite that installs on a client PC – in my case, a Windows XP Pro computer. The suite will install a copy of MySQL during the installation process to track test results. Unlike last time, I had no trouble installing the 5.0 package on the same hardware as the database.

O'Connor raises course fears
9:35am Monday 3rd February 2014 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
American-born snowboarder Seamus O'Connor, who will compete for Ireland in the snowboard halfpipe and slopestyle events at Sochi 2014, has raised concerns over the safety of the slopestyle course at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park.
O'Connor claimed the course was "pretty dangerous" after his first training runs and urged other athletes to call for improvements to the course before the slopestyle competition gets under way.
"The course needs some work," said 16-year-old O'Connor.
"They overbuilt the jumps because they were anticipating that the snow would melt. At the moment the riders are not happy. The rails up top are too close. It's pretty dangerous at the moment. I think it's definitely going to be a problem for the women. It's pretty gnarly for them.
"We may see some injuries. I hope not, but the whole course is variable as it is.
"The riders need to speak up about the conditions. The rails can't be fixed but they can fix the jumps."
O'Connor's mother is from Russia, his father grew up in England and his grandparents are Irish.

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy...: A Thousand Words DVD: "He's Got To Be At The Top Of The List If You're An Eddie Murphy Fan"
Monday, Jun 25, 2012 12:10AM
[Less than 24 hours away from movie mogul Eddie Murphy's A Thousand Words hitting the shelves, the Hollywood flick's co-star Cliff Curtis gives SOHH readers 5 Reasons to check out the new DVD.]
1. The Laugh Factory
The first reason is because Eddie Murphy's in it. He's got to be at the top of the list if you're an Eddie Murphy fan. I didn't do an audition. I was called in and I think they originally wanted Michael Caine or somebody like that and for some reasons that didn't work out and I got the opportunity. I was kind of excited about the idea of doing this role. I pitched a more comedic approach to the role and for some reason, the casting director really reacted to the energy and I got the job. But when I got down to the job, they didn't want what it was that I pitched. They didn't want the more comedic and goosey stuff, they wanted something more [subtle]. So we created that character. It was like a pretty normal casting.
2. Wonder Woman
Kerry Washington has to be somewhere in there. I think she's great. I think she's a very talented actress. I'm a fan. I could watch Kerry Washington act all day. She's great. She's got really good stuff.
3. The Ladies Man
The third reason is because my wife loves these kinds of movies. If you want a movie you can watch with your wife or girlfriend because they don't like action movies or horror movies, this is one of those light comedies.
4. La Familia
The fourth reason is because I think there are a lot of issues in the movie about values and the importance of family. I think this is sort of a big topic in the story, dealing with families and relationships. You're going to see Eddie's character recall his relationship with his mother, wife and son. If you like values, then you're going to like the story.
5. Bad Guy Gone Good
The fifth reason would be along the same lines. My favorite thing about the role is I often play bad guys and do lots of bad things so I thought it was fun to play a character that was dispersing self-knowledge, self-understanding and self-awareness.
You Decide. Will you purchase the new A Thousand Words DVD?

I have sleep apnea.
Some of you may know what that is as Brian Wheeler has it as well. I am currently still under my parents medical insurance plans (just graduated from OSU with a degree in Marketing, currently looking for a job). My parents both have Moda insurance. So I am double covered through them.
In the past from previous insurances I have been able to receive sleep studies from the sleep doctor. They are CPAP titrations that allow the doctor to find out what pressure the machines need to be set at to stop the majority of the "breathing events" (sleep apnea is when one stops breathing several times during the night, in my case upwards of 100, it snaps the body unconsciously out of REM sleep, don't wake feeling rested, dangerous for health). I haven't had a titration done in over 3 years. I have had trouble with the machine but want to take control of my health and get back to using the CPAP, problem is I need a sleep study to find out the correct pressure. Just last week I had an appointment, the doctor said I needed a sleep study, then asked me if I still had my older insurance. I said no, I now have Moda. Instantly all the happiness my doctor had was flushed away, as he began to tell me that Moda is not understanding of sleep medicine and he has had numerous problems getting them to cover sleep studies (which by other insurance companies, has never been a problem). He checked, and sure enough they won't cover it. Even though I'm double covered and both of my parents are paying to Moda Health.
One Week later… They drop a $40 million dollar check…. to put their name on a building. and leave their own patients like me out of luck.
Now, I'm a marketing major and I'm not against naming rights. I understand from a business perspective what the Trail Blazers are doing. I'm disappointed with and upset at the heads of Moda throwing tens of millions of dollars around for naming money when they can't help provide their paying patients with something simple as a sleep study.
I'm just sad, I want my health back, my life back, and I'm trying. It's just discouraging to see Moda take actions like this after what just happened to me. Thank you for reading this if you did. I'm not asking for money or anything like that, I just needed to vent my feelings on this deal from a perspective that many of you don't have but may find interesting. Thanks BE readers.

Community-Based Participatory Health Research: Understanding the Cultural Assets of Southeast Asian Women for the Promotion of Breast Health
Scientific Abstract:
Community-Based Participatory Health Research: Understanding the Cultural Assets of Southeast Asian Women for the Promotion of Breast Health is a two-year study designed to: 1) develop an in-depth understanding of the social and cultural determinants of preventive breast healthcare among Southeast Asian women and 2) apply this information to the development of a pilot breast health promotion intervention and healthcare provider training curriculum. Cancer is the leading cause of death among Asian American women, and there is growing evidence that breast cancer represents a significant health risk. Traditionally, Asians were believed to be at low risk of cancer, due to diet and other lifestyle factors; but, recent studies suggest that the portrait of Asian American breast health and preventive care is complex. While many of the major Asian ethnic groups in the U.S. emigrated from countries with the lowest breast cancer rates, breast cancer has been shown to grow in prevalence with successive generations in the U.S. Other studies suggest that Asian-born Asian Americans lag behind other groups in early detection. Research indicates that nearly a third of all Asian American women over the recommended age of 40 have not participated in breast cancer screening. In addition, research has raised concerns that health professionals may not address breast health with Asians due to misconceptions about breast cancer risks. For Southeast Asian women, these issues are compounded because they disproportionately experience barriers to healthcare including poverty, language and cultural barriers, and limited access to medical insurance and services. Two research questions will direct the proposed study: 1) What are the social and cultural factors that influence preventive breast healthcare and general health-seeking behavior among Southeast Asian American women? 2) How can this information be applied to promote prevention and early detection of breast cancer? The study population is Southeast Asian (i.e., Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian and Hmong) women in the U.S., over the age of 40. This population tends to be Asian-born, refugees of war and limited in English proficiency. The specific aims of the study are to discover relevant cultural patterns in the beliefs and behaviors of Southeast Asians and apply this knowledge to develop an intervention that will a) foster greater awareness of the breast cancer risk to Southeast Asian women and the efficacy of preventive measures, b) facilitate access to breast cancer screening, and c) enhance the capacity of healthcare professionals to take culturally competent preventive measures. The study design involves two major components: 1) a qualitative and exploratory study of the cultural and social determinants of Southeast Asian breast healthcare and 2) the development and formative evaluation of a pilot intervention. Key informant interviews with community members and health professionals will serve as the primary method of data collection for the first study component. Bilingual peer researchers representing each of the above-mentioned Southeast Asian communities will be recruited to participate in all aspects of the research process. Teamed with a professional researcher, peer researchers will be trained in interview methods, and be provided supervision. The qualitative study and second component, the pilot, will be guided by a Southeast Asian Women's Advisory Group. The methodological approach of participatory research will enhance the cultural appropriateness of the study, while facilitating access to populations and perspectives that might not otherwise be available. A community-based agency will serve as the pilot site for outreach and screening of Southeast Asian women, as well as health practitioner training. Working with an organization well-established within Asian American communities will facilitate formative evaluation of the pilot. Peer resarchers will conduct participant interviews, and supplemental data will be collected through limited participant observation, staff interviews and monitoring of program service data. There are several benefits and anticipated outcomes of the study including the development of culturally responsive services for the promotion of breast health; the establishment of a Southeast Asian Women's Advisory Group, which will build the leadership capacity of these women to promote breast health in their communities; and, the enhancement of available research concerning Southeast Asian women and breast health promotion.
Lay Abstract:
Community-Based Participatory Health Research: Understanding the Cultural Assets of Southeast Asian Women for the Promotion of Breast Health is a two-year project designed to meet the following objectives: 1) Learn more about the social and cultural factors that influence breast health among Southeast Asian women and 2) Create a pilot program that will both teach Southeast Asian women about breast health in culturally sensitive ways and train healthcare providers in Southeast Asian culture and related breast healthcare issues. Cancer is the leading cause of death among Asian American women, and there is growing evidence that breast cancer is a significant health risk for these women. Yet, there is a common misperception that Asian American women are at low risk of cancer. This misperception affects the preventive steps that Asian American women take, as well as how health professionals talk to them about breast health. Studies show that breast cancer rates increase with each generation that Asians live in the U.S. They also show that breast cancer is detected later in Asian-born Asian Americans than other groups. In addition, nearly a third of all Asian American women over the recommended age of 40 have not had breast cancer screening. For Southeast Asian women, issues of breast cancer and preventive care are especially serious, because these women are more likely to experience barriers to adequate care including poverty, language and cultural barriers, and limited access to medical insurance and services. There are two research questions that the project will examine: 1) What social and cultural factors influence how Southeast Asian women seek healthcare, and, more specifically, preventive breast healthcare? 2)How can we use this information to promote prevention and early detection of breast cancer? The project will target Southeast Asian(i.e., Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laotian and Hmong) women in the U.S. over 40. These women tend to be Asian-born, refugees of war and not fluent in English. The specific aims of the study are to a)make Southeast Asian women more aware of the risks of breast cancer and the helpfulness of early detection, b)help them take part in routine breast cancer screening, and c)support healthcare professionals in addressing breast health effectively with these women. There are two parts of the study design: 1) a "qualitative" study, consisting of interviews with Southeast Asian women and health professionals about the cultural influences that affect access to breast healthcare and 2) a pilot program, developed based on interviews. Bilingual "peer-to-peer" researchers representing each of the targeted Southeast Asian communities will conduct the interviews and help create the pilot program. In addition, a Southeast Asian Women's Advisory Group will be formed to guide the project and serve as community experts and liaisons. The project will be grounded in principles of "participatory research," which involves participants in project design and implementation. This will ensure that the project is culturally appropriate and that interview data are useful and meaningful. For the pilot program, these teams will develop 1) a community "intervention" to promote breast cancer awareness and provide screening in Southeast Asian communities and 2) a training program for healthcare providers. The community-based agency that serves Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders will pilot the two components. Working with a known and trusted community-based organization will make the project more effective. The pilot will be evaluated through participant interviews, limited participant observation, staff interviews and program monitoring. The benefits and anticipated outcomes of the project include developing culturally responsive services for promoting breast health in Southeast Asian women; establishing a Southeast Asian Women's Advisory Group, which will build the leadership capacity of these women to promote breast health in their communities; and, enhancing available information about Southeast Asian women and breast health promotion.

Charlotte, NC (WBTV) - We take you to Sudbury Road in Charlotte, home of Windsor Park Elementary School. But viewers are giving parts of the sidewalk surrounding the school a failing grade.
Nancy writes on our See, Click, Fix page at wbtv.com,"The sidewalk is torn up in two places....Someone is going to get hurt if these places are not fixed."
Some big cracks could be seen at the first spot we saw. But the worst of it is further down where there were so many cracks the sidewalk appears to be shattered like glass.
"I think it's safe to say this needs repair," says WBTV's Christine Nelson.
We noticed white, spray-painted arrows surrounding both problem spots which led us to believe someone was already on the case.
We reached out to the Charlotte Department of Transportation and our suspicions were right. CDOT has the sidewalk scheduled for repair on Feb 21 or 22, weather permitting.
News that will make neighborhood walkers happy whether you have two legs... Or four...
UPDATE: The week of February 20, CDOT crews put fresh cement down and repaired the damaged sidewalk.

A few weeks ago I mentioned how delighted I was to hear from a long-lost friend. I hadn't heard from Lydia Walker in nearly 40 years and didn't know where she was or even if she was still alive.
I'm happy to report that she is alive and well. And at 92, looks like the picture of health. From our first conversation, I learned that Lydia was up to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the National Pinochle Association in New Orleans this weekend.
"Playing Pinochle makes you forget the world around you. Once you start playing, you have no going-home-sense," Lydia said with a chuckle.
She credits her dad with instilling in her the love of the card game. "I started playing cards when I was 6. My dad used to give each of us $2 a week allowance and then he would turn around and win it back."
I've learned from Lydia that pinochle players are in a league all by themselves. Die-hard players eat, sleep and breath the card game. For Lydia, the love affair with pinochle began back in 1954, when she was a nursing student at Tuskegee's V.A. Psychiatric Institute in Alabama. She said she was taught the basic skills of game by three of the patients.
Lydia, a former WAC in the U.S. Army, later followed her husband Leroy to Kaiserstautern, Germany, where they were stationed for 42 months.
While in the WACs, Lydia was responsible for the first beauty parlor for black women. She once told me that when she entered the service, she noticed that the white WACs had a special place to get their hair done. "But not the black women." Lydia went to her superior and asked for a room, but not before she had attended beauty school to learn the trade herself.
After their tour of duty in Germany, Lydia and her husband came back home to Miami, where she worked for a while as a registered nurse at Jackson Memorial Hospital. The couple later founded Walker's Funeral Home.
It was in 1975 that Lydia and her pinochle partners started playing weekly tournaments at Homestead Air Force Base. The players formed the Hard KnunkPinochle Club, hosting the tournaments until 1992, when Hurricane Andrew destroyed the base . The club ten became the Awesome Chastisers Progressive Pinochle Enterprises, and in 1994, joined the National Pinochle Association. The national tournament and convention was hosted by the Miami club for the first time in 1996.
The award Lydia is receiving this weekend will be bittersweet. Her great nephew and devoted pinochle partner the late Andre Leon DeBose, will be inducted posthumously into the Pinochle Hall of Fame. DeBose died in 2012 of colon cancer.
Lydia, who now lives in South Miami-Dade, said one of the greatest joys of her life was when she and partner Steve Brown "pulled" three consecutive pinochles on Ray Vickers and Anthony Collins. (It was Collins, who wrote the book Winning Pinochle Strategies.)
"Playing Pinochle has given me the greatest memories of my life," Lydia said.
Fraternity honors local students
When the National Sigma Beta Club, the youth affiliate of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity had its National Leadership Conference July 10-13 at Temple University in Philadelphia, two of Miami's own were honored for their excellence.
Edward Leonard, a freshman at the New World School of the Arts, won the oratorical contest, speaking on the topic of the effects of childhood obesity and how the Sigma Beta Club could solve the problem.
William Thomas Gilmore, a freshman at Coral Reef High School, won an academic achievement award for maintaining a high grade point average during the 2012-2013 school year.
The Sigma Beta Club of Theta Rho Sigma meets at 2 p.m. on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month in the Gibson-Bethel City of South Miami Community Center. Membership is open to boys in middle and high school.

The event will honor Venghan "Winnie" Tang, who, said Black, was "Instrumental in getting out the Asian American vote in Florida in the 2012 presidential election." Tang also is an advocate for immigrant rights and reform as well as citizenship and family reunification, black said.
Former state senator Nan Rich will be the guest speaker. For tickets and for more information call Black at 305-754-6141 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The MEP Awards 2013 is the premier platform for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing sector in the UAE to recognise its achievements, honour those individuals and companies who made these happen, and to acknowledge the latest innovations, technology and processes that have helped drive down costs and ensure adherence to best-practice standards.
It is also an opportunity to highlight the excellence in MEP design and installation underpinning those iconic projects contributing to the evolving and rapidly-maturing construction landscape in the UAE. The combination of a global economic downturn and the advent of environmental awareness in the construction industry have resulted in the MEP sector playing a pivotal role in the advent of 'green' building in the UAE.
It is an old but valid maxim that extraordinary circumstances lead to extraordinary achievements. The MEP Awards 2013 is the perfect occasion to acknowledge the sterling efforts and achievements of the sector in ensuring its continued viability and innovation in light of current constraints and global economic volatility.
The MEP Awards have been growing in stature and popularity over the years, with a steady increase in the number and diversity of entries. This year is the seventh MEP Awards, and all indications are that it promises to be an even more superlative event that will set the benchmark for achievement and excellence in the sector.

CLEARWATER, Fla. Ś There are plenty of unflattering things that have been said by and about Delmon Young over the years. One thing he never has to worry about being called is overly enthusiatic.
A trip to California for a medical examination of his surgically repaired ankle offered good news to the rotund outfielder and his progress for returning to playing baseball Ś at least it was good news to the Phillies. Young didnÆt seem all that enthused.
ōNo, not really,ö Young said when asked if he was glad to have his workout regimen expanded. ōI just do what the doctor says. I saw him (Tuesday) and he said I could do some other activities, so thatÆs what he told me to do.ö
Among the activities Young can start is to take batting practice with teammates prior to games. But that didnÆt seem to warm his emo heart, either.
ōItÆs batting practice,ö Young said mopily. ōI really donÆt care too much to hit on the field.ö
Interesting. Is that because youÆre anxious to start playing games?
ōNo, not really,ö baseballÆs Droopy Dog said. ōItÆs cold and itÆs only March 6. IÆm not anxious at all.ö
Attempts to lighten YoungÆs mood with small talk came up short, too.
ōAre you guys trying to write a soap opera here or something?ö Young asked rhetorically and morbidly.
Perhaps ōAs The Mood Turns ...ö
At least Charlie Manuel was glad to see Young in the batting cage.
ōThatÆs a good step for him,ö Manuel said. ōIt will be a while for him, but thatÆs a good step. ItÆs good to see him get to hit and everything.ö
General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. used his experience as a pinch-hitter to go to bat for Young and counteract the joyless drone of the man he insists can and will be the starting right fielder for the Phillies this season, perhaps as soon as mid- to late-April.
ōWeÆre going to be conservative with him. WeÆre not going to rush him,ö Amaro said. ōHopefully heÆll get into a game before the spring (training ends). If he does, it likely will be in simulated games in the minor leagues -- getting at-bats, running the bases (one day), then maybe the next day working in the outfield.
ōWhen heÆs ready and able to play and comfortable enough in the outfield, heÆll be in Philadelphia.ö
Because Domonic Brown has had such an impressive opening to spring -- he laced a single off Stephen Strasburg in the second inning Wednesday -- the topic of whether Young might see some time in left field was broached. Although Amaro has said from the start that Young will be in right, he not only said Young was a better right fielder, but that heÆs a substandard left fielder.
ōHeÆs not going to be playing left field at all,ö Amaro said. ōHeÆs not a good left fielder. And he doesnÆt want to play there.ö
Hopefully getting back to his preferred position will lighten YoungÆs misery.

Once again, this post has nothing to do with Alabama football, and might not have anything to with football at all. The main reason I post this is to seek clarification from someone who knows something about golf.
A Yahoo! Sports blog devoted to golf, called Devil Ball Golf, recently did a post about Tiger Woods falling out of the top 20 world rankings. The following was in the article:
The top of the rankings remain familiar: Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Martin Kaymer, Rory McIlroy and Steve Stricker. Phil Mickelson comes in at No. 6, and British Open winner Darren Clarke is No. 31. (Auburn also received votes, which seems a little strange.)
A review of the top 50 golfers reveals no one named Auburn. http://www.officialworldgolfranking.com/rankings/default.sps. Anyone have any ideas as to what this means?

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
It was 1968, and this was the thinking person's horror film that put Roman Polanski (directing his first major American movie) and Mia Farrow (in her first feature-starring role) on the cultural radar. Farrow is a young wife who dreams she is raped by the Devil, only to then become pregnant with a child who may be very much his father's son. In turn the movie gave birth to a genre that included The Exorcist five years later, changing the industry forever. (Criterion Collection, $24.)

For me, a stay in Banff feels somewhat incomplete if I do not make a stop at St James' Gate pub. I immediately was taken with the atmosphere of the place: it almost compared to some actual British/Irish pubs I had been to in the UK. Purportedly the bar itself is a 100+ year old piece brought directly from a pub in Ireland. A rather low level of lighting, dark wood everywhere, private booths, the walls adorned with old pictures of pubs, glass windows with advertisements for all sorts of early 20th century British products, and a clientele base there simply to enjoy a few pints without getting too loud. Also, you are likely to find Australians, Brits, Japanese and Chinese, Germans, and a mass of other nationalities, come to visit the Alberta Rockies. This makes it easy to start up a warm conversation. Most weekends there will be a musical group playing around 7 to 12 or so. When we went last it was a Calgary funk band named "Urban Divide." Celtic music is also played here quite regularly. The quality of the place and the beer is excellent. The waitresses are attendant and friendly, and every time I have gone, it has always been a waitress; I am not sure if there are any waiters, only behind the bar. They are quick to notice your empty glass and quick to bring your refill. The selection is very good, with 30 to 40 draught beers, including Arctic Red from the Yukon, and 3 or 4 Wild Rose brews, and extensive import craft beers. Most definitely the largest on-tap selection anywhere in the Banff National Park. They also do their best to serve a beer in its proper glass, though usually this means a pint glass. The food is not exactly traditional pub food all round, although they do specialise in some form of Irish potato dish. I have never had a bad meal, or appetizer here, and several of the appetizers, like the green beans in some sort of hot sauce, were extraordinary. Definitely above-average pub food. This makes a perfect place to stop when you have been walking through Banff all day, and it is located in the centre of town; ideal, if you are staying the night. This is the perfect place to end your day in or around Banff, if you have been boarding or skiing, or simply visiting the city.

In the beginning for me a stop off in Banff was always topped off by a pint at the second storey Rose & Crown, down the street from this establishment. These days however, if I'm craving a pint after a hike, or during a jaunt out to Banff, the St. Jame's Gate is my regular stop, and where I steer most people to when asked, especially the small horde of visiting relatives of my local British friends.
The atmosphere is a similar layout to most higher end Irish-type pubs owned by the same people in Calgary, and in Edmonton as well I'd suspect. Wood finish, lots of different sections which breaks up the establishment into different parts, but keeps it feeling like a large space in the end. The huge bar in the centre also contributes to maintaining a nexus to the whole lay-out, a long row of identical taps along the east and west sides of it to cater to a full house with ease. The best draught selection to be found in Banff, that's for sure. They also take pride in their selection of whiskey's as well.
The beer selection is average for the province, yet great for a pub in a National Park, and typical for the type of establishment and what you'll find at a place with the same owners anywhere's else. The usual British Isle's imports, a few Continental European imports, and some regional micros's as well, along the lines of Big Rock, Wild Rose, Sleeman, and the rare Yukon Brewing's Arctic Red Ale tap in Alberta. That's what I usually get, or a Kronnenberg from France if I'm feeling like a lager.
The quality of the food is well above average for pub fare, I've enjoyed everything I've sampled there for the past 7-8 years or so, and also taking into consideration the transient nature of employees within Banff National Park. The service and knowledge of beer, on the other hand, is hit and miss due to the same circumstances. Servers come and go at a more accelerated rate within Banff, and I've found on many occassions that knowledge of their bar stock, let alone professional courtesy and service, runs the spectrum at times. Depending on where you sit it may take quite a while before you get noticed and attended to, so try to stay out in the open and in plain sight (wink wink). Actually that's my game plan for any pub laid out like this.
If you find yourself in Banff for whatever reason and are craving a pint, this is the place to end up at.

I was here on two weeknights in late May. Spacious dark wood pub in downtown Banff with a laid back atmosphere and good beer selection. 30+ on tap, mix of standard Canadian beers plus some British & Irish stuff along with a few micros (like Wild Rose). Lighting was kept pretty low with Celtic style music playing at reasonable level that still allowed conversation. A few TVs scattered about around the bar. Ate at the bar one of the nights. The service was attentive and the food was rather tasty (some Irish potato dish). Definitely my favorite place to kick back with a pint in Banff.

YPSILANTI - The Toledo swimming and diving team had its streak of four consecutive victories over Mid-American Conference opponents snapped today by Eastern Michigan. The Rockets (1-1) dropped their conference opener to the Eagles (2-0) at Jones Natatorium, 163.5-136.5.
The trio of senior Carly Harter, junior Beth Rogers and sophomore Maria Bargardi carried Toledo as each swimmer recorded two individual top-place finishes.
Harter remained untouchable in the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle events with winning times of 51.85 and 1:51.86, respectively. Harter has now swept those events in five straight regular-season meets. The last time she didn't win both happened with a second-place finish in the 100-yard freestyle against Ohio State on Jan. 7 last season.
Bargardi also performed well, winning both the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke with times of 57.46 and 2:02.77, respectively. Rogers held her own in the 50-yard freestyle with a mark of 24:09. She also claimed the 100-yard butterfly at 55.49.
The only other first-place finish for the Rockets came in the final event. The 400-yard freestyle relay team, consisting of Harter, Rogers, senior McKenzie Bagan and freshman Brooke Edwards, swam for a time of 3:31.21.
Two Rockets recorded second-place finishes, including senior LesLee Winfield in the 100-yard breaststroke and freshman Kristen Nunnelly in the 500-yard freestyle.
Toledo's 200-yard medley relay team also finished in second place.
Next up for Toledo will be the Akron Invite on Nov. 30 to Dec. 2.

Not sure if Millsap left early with an injury and had to come back but the rotations worked out perfectly.
One thing I noticed is that Millsap and Jefferson CANNOT co-exist at the same time. Millsap's game will suffer.
When Millsap was paired with Favors instead, and he was the primary option on offense, he killed it. Millsap took on the burden of scoring when he had to (and he was good at it) and made good decisions on passes.
Jefferson, Millsap, and Favors all ended up playing around 30 minutes each which I think is most wise and appropriate. Millsap got the short end recently (about 20 minutes per game) and coach benched him on many occasions in the 4th qtr in favor of Favors but I think last night's rotation was better and helped the team get a win on the road.
Last nights line up during the end of the 3rd qtr and beginning of the 4th qtr when the Jazz pulled away:
Tinsely, Burks, Hayward, Millsap, and Favors - was awesome.
I say the Jazz heavily consider last night's rotation and use Millsap more as a primary option. He's been struggling as of late but I think it has to do with him playing alongside Jefferson. Jefferson demands and possesses the ball too much for other players to gain any rhythm and feel for the game.
Of course Millsap is vertically challenged but I think Favors will compensate for that. In regards to defense, Millsap is one of most active in terms of using his hands and getting steals. 5 steals last night (8 steals the last 2 games). Last year he was top 5 in steals and for a PF to be in that category is saying a lot. People don't give him enough credit for his defensive capabilities.

In the last few months, or it may be years, we have put our coaches on a tightrope stretched across the Grand Canyon, toting a 20' balance pole. On one tip of the pole is the Offense, the other tip is the Defense. The Coach, and the fans are desperately looking for balance. Is that what Gen George Patton would do?-NO! That sucker would overload in one area to overwhelm and let the other flanks suffer.
So to the point: What if the Rams so overloaded the Offense with ALL our draft picks to become the #1offense in the NFL? Conversely, why not become the BEAST DEFENSE by using ALL our draft picks to dominate every opposing offense? Is there really a reason to be so-so in every position instead of being dominate on one side of the line and sucking on the other? Be Bold!! Be Brave!! It's better to suck half-way than to all around Suck!

UK Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt defended his conduct in the case of a bid by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. to take over British satellite broadcaster BSkyB at a hearing Thursday.
Rupert Murdoch can be expected to be personally furious and potentially devastated by the partisan-but-damning judgment of a committee of British lawmakers that he is not a "fit" person to run an international business.
British Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt rejected suggestions Wednesday he had acted improperly in his dealings with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch testified about press ethics in light of the phone hacking scandal in Britain.
The Cabinet minister who oversees British broadcasting came under fire Tuesday after the inquiry into the News Corp. hacking scandal revealed extensive contacts with the company while he weighed a controversial merger.
CNN's Richard Quest talks to Andrew Neil, Fmr. Exec. Chairman of Sky Television, about James Murdoch's resignation.
One year ago James Murdoch was widely regarded as heir-apparent to his father Rupert's global News Corp. media empire -- a remarkable turnaround for a college dropout once viewed as the family's black sheep.
Media magnate Rupert Murdoch will appear next week before the independent British inquiry into journalistic ethics prompted by phone hacking at his defunct News of the World tabloid, the investigators said Thursday.
London police have asked prosecutors to file charges against at least eight people in connection with phone hacking by journalists, the Crown Prosecution Service said Wednesday.

News International chief James Murdoch rejected allegations Thursday his company behaved like a Mafia organization over the News of the World phone-hacking scandal.
A simmering scandal and disgruntled shareholders weren't enough to hold back News Corp these past few months, as the company reported a 7% increase in revenue that beat analyst estimates. News Corp. said in a statement after the bell Wednesday that its revenue had increased to $7.96 billion for the quarter ending September 30 from $7.43 billion a year ago. Net income was $738 million, or 28 cents per share, down from $775 million and 30 cents per share a year ago.
A landmark ruling which could change the way top-level European football matches are broadcast and sold by television companies was made on Tuesday.
A landmark ruling from the European Court of Justice could change the way Premier League matches are broadcast.
News Corp. shares rebounded Tuesday even as the media empire's CEO faced questions from Parliament on the company's phone hacking scandal.
The Watergate scandal saw the resignation of the president, the jailing of senior administration officials, the collapse of trust in the political class, a shift in the balance of power from one party to another, an increase in the reputation of the press and sustained pressure for freedom of information. All this took place over a period of years.
Shares of News Corp. slid to a six-month low Monday as a cell phone hacking scandal continued to engulf Rupert Murdoch's media empire.

Dick and Jane may have been cartoonish kids in long-ago school books, but they're very grown up in this pair of namesake cocktails, served at Loa Bar in vintage glasses (just like my grandmother's set, which she used for serving ice cream).
The blushing orange drink is a perfumed stir of aged port and Strega, a liqueur adding a subtle minty finish. White whiskey brings the heat, but if you pull back and just inhale, the nose is plump and figgy.
Its companion, a honey-toned cocktail, leads with acidic pears and finishes on the Gran Classico's bright orange notes and a spray of lemon bitters (it's all grounded by mellow tequila).
Lushly textured, Dick and Jane have the fruits in common, and each uses a revived 1860s-era Italian liqueur.
Which cocktail wears the pants, then? You'll be tricked by the garnishes on the plate: pistachios bring out the port's nuttiness, while thick candied ginger slices pick up all the citrus in the other glass. (And consider that Strega means "witch" in Italian.)
So…which drink is Dick and which is Jane? "Yes," says Alan Walter, who wrote Loa's cocktail list, which appears on torn parchment like an old scroll unfolding itself to you. "Yes to whatever you're experiencing. I don't prescribe taste."
As the bar's buyer - and snake charmer - Alan often gets the city's first bottles of certain exotic spirits, bending them to whatever creative spark he's lit.
On this particular afternoon, he's playing with a glass of lively Sinfo rosé, adding to it Dimmi, a pretty liqueur infused with peach and apricot flower blossoms. Then there's lemon juice, and – plucked from the jars of fresh herbs lining the bar - fresh tarragon. We sample, like it, agree that maybe it calls for blood orange simple syrup. Whatever it will be, the seed's been planted. I look forward to seeing it appear, fully grown, on the summer list.

This year, we believe that the markets will finally pressure policymakers to move beyond temporary half measures and make substantive fixes to the financial system?s problems. In other words, the ?can? that policymakers have been kicking ineffectually down the road for the past few years may finally kick back and compel positive long-term structural changes.
Yet we also believe we?re facing another year of sharp market volatility and a continued short supply of quality yield. Investors should be prepared to take advantage of periods of positive sentiment (and rising prices) to continue to reduce their portfolios? exposure to market risk and the business cycle, shifting assets to higher-yield, cash flow?driven and dividend-based strategies. At the same time, we would continue to position portfolios to take advantage of opportunities that appear likely to benefit from the global rebalancing theme ? that is, the shifting of growth from the developed to the developing world ? that we?ve been talking about for the past few years. That should remain the dominant driver of performance over the long term.

Tactical Guidelines
- We would take advantage of large rallies to reduce market risk and lower cyclicality in portfolios across asset classes.
- We are neutral on equities relative to fixed income at current levels. As market averages hover at the upper end of our range, look to reduce equity exposure.
- Within equities, we remain overweight in large caps because of their greater exposure to global growth and are moving to a neutral weight in small- and mid-cap equities. We continue to prefer technology, industrials and certain consumer staples, although some companies in these sectors are vulnerable to the expected European recession.
- Within fixed income, we would emphasize corporate bonds and further emphasize high yield. In the tax-exempt space, we prefer high-quality municipals (essential-service revenue bonds and general obligations of states and high-quality local governments).
- Within hedge funds, reduce market risk by focusing on managers of diversified strategies and ?all-asset? managers as a replacement for equity-only managers.
- In private equity, we would pay close attention to vintage year diversification among managers who have strong track records in the full private equity cycle.
- Reduce commodity exposure to a neutral tactical weighting.
- Allocate the proceeds from reducing commodity exposure to cash until more attractive opportunities develop.
We?re forecasting the Standard & Poor?s 500 to finish this year at around 1350, based on profit of close to $100 per share for the year, slightly higher than the profit numbers for 2011. This implies a discount on a normal market multiple because of a policy-heavy environment, once again, in 2012. With current levels around 1380 on the S&P 500 (as of March 14, 2012), we are neutral on the equity asset class.
The New Paradigm
The credit crisis of a few years ago brought a new paradigm in its wake, and it affects virtually everything from commerce to geopolitics; it influences the ways businesses operate and the ways we conduct our personal lives and finances. Basically, we are all ? in one way or another ? repairing the bloated debt structure of the past few decades. This repair process requires structural change, and that is what?s happening around the world right now. In the emerging markets, we?re seeing an expansion of balance sheets and the creation of a middle class. In the developed world, it?s the exact opposite. We are restructuring our balance sheets and deleveraging, paring down liabilities and repairing our capital structure so we can create a new base from which to grow. This is all part of the long-term global rebalancing theme.
We would continue to remove market risk and lower cyclical exposure during periods of positive momentum.
This repair process has made for a high degree of uncertainty and difficult market conditions, and 2011 was particularly challenging for equities (the S&P 500 had approximately a 24% range during the year) and global credit spreads (European bond yield spreads hit euro-area record highs during the year). It was an extreme ?binary outcome? year with sentiment changing dramatically seemingly every other week. Policy concerns took control over the summer, as the world waited for the congressional Super Committee to fix the budget deficit in the United States and for European policymakers to bring in the ?big bazooka? to address their mounting problems. Unfortunately, 2011 proved to be a year of words rather than concrete action.
2012: Payback Time For Policymakers
This should be the year that the economy, the markets and?investors will finally force policymakers into action (not necessarily action that is implemented this year however), though the policy moves themselves are likely to contribute to another year of sharp volatility at times. We believe we?ll see some positive momentum early in the year, based on better economic and job growth in the United States, potential enthusiasm over Europe ?moving in the right direction,? and portfolio positioning that began prior to year-end. After that, we expect the European economic recession to become more visible, and that should filter into the industrial and technology sectors globally, causing consensus estimates to be lowered. (Current consensus estimates for U.S. profits in 2012 are $104 per the S&P 500; we?re looking for $97 to $99.) At the same time, fears of a further slowdown in China could gather momentum once again, and the U.S. campaign season should take off in earnest with its destructive class warfare theme.
This dynamic is likely to weigh on the market as we head into the second quarter. Decent U.S. job growth and more accommodative emerging market monetary policy led by China and Brazil should mute some of the negative pressure from what we expect will be fractious presidential politics. However, a further bite from Europe?s downturn, skepticism over its long-term structural plan and higher U.S. housing inventories (based on the release of foreclosure backlogs) could spark another market downturn in the summer months similar to those we saw in 2011 and 2010.
Position portfolios to take advantage of opportunities and themes that appear likely to benefit from global rebalancing.
We expect the market to end 2012 on an upswing. As we head into the fourth quarter, the market should start to digest the expected U.S. election outcome, economic improvement in the?emerging markets as monetary stimulus takes effect and, perhaps, ?the can kicking back? on the fiscal front in the United States as we head into 2013.
In terms of forecasts, we started 2011 with a target of close to 1400 for the S&P 500, which we lowered to 1300 in early August, because we believed policy issues would continue to overshadow fundamentals for the next 12 months. At that point,?we established a wider range of 1100 to 1300 (down from our earlier range of 1300 to 1400, because of the political overhang) for the remainder of 2011. The S&P 500 closed 2011 at 1257.60.
Now we?re looking for the S&P 500 to close out 2012 around 1350, as we expect the S&P to produce a few dollars more in profits in 2012. So 2012 is likely to hold a similar pattern as 2011, with bouts of volatility but with slightly higher targets.
Portfolio Considerations
Whether the S&P 500 closes 2012 at 1200 or 1400, the overwhelming portfolio theme this year should still be the short supply of quality yield. So, to deal with that issue, we are emphasizing active management around this dynamic coupled with an overlay of growth stories/thematic opportunities in various corners of the world.
Within this context, we would continue to use periods of positive momentum that carry the market toward the upper end of our ranges to remove market risk and lower cyclical exposure. We have a risk-neutral stance on equities at this time. We also expect volatile episodes to present opportunities to improve portfolio yield through rebalancing within each asset class to more fundamental-driven strategies. These adjustments are designed to achieve a more effective risk balance over time and to produce portfolios that are less sensitive to market movements while allowing cash flow and yield-oriented strategies to be the primary drivers of total return.
At the same time, we would continue to position portfolios to take advantage of opportunities and themes that appear likely to benefit from global rebalancing, which is still early in a long-lasting cycle and stands to be the dominant driver of performance over the long term.
Projections made may not come to pass due to market conditions and fluctuations.
Investing involves risk. There is always the potential of losing money when you invest in securities.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Asset allocation, diversification and rebalancing do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
Always consult with your independent attorney, tax advisor, investment manager, and insurance agent for final recommendations and before changing or implementing any financial, tax, or estate planning strategy.
Equities Equity securities are subject to stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments.
Stocks of small- and mid-cap companies pose special risks, including possible illiquidity and greater price volatility than stocks of larger, more established companies.
Fixed Income Investing in fixed income securities may involve certain risks, including the credit quality of individual issuers, possible prepayments, market or economic developments and yields and share price fluctuations due to changes in interest rates. When interest rates go up, bond prices generally drop and vice versa.
There may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Tax-exempt investing offers current tax-exempt income, but it also involves special risks. Income from investing in municipal bonds is generally exempt from Federal and state taxes for residents of the issuing state. Interest income from certain tax-exempt bonds may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, if applicable, the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).
Investments in high-yield bonds (sometimes referred to as ?junk bonds?) offer the potential for high current income and attractive total return, but involves certain risks. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect a junk bond issuer?s ability to make principal and interest payments.
International Investing International investing involves special risks, including foreign taxation, currency risks, risks associated with possible differences in financial standards and other risks associated with future political and economic developments. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed countries. In addition, concentration of investments in a single region may result in greater volatility.
Commodities There are special risks associated with an investment in commodities, including market price fluctuations, regulatory changes, interest rate changes, credit risk, economic changes, and the impact of adverse political or financial factors.
Alternative Investments Alternative investments are intended for qualified and suitable investors only. Alternative investments are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Alternative Investments such as derivatives, hedge funds, private equity funds, and funds of funds can result in higher return potential but also higher loss potential. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may adversely affect your investments. Before you invest in alternative investments, you should consider your overall financial situation, how much money you have to invest, your need for liquidity, and your tolerance for risk.
Other Dividend payments are not guaranteed. The amount of a dividend payment, if any, can vary over time.
