Watch top Jamaican chefs vie for pride of place and prizes on Grace Kitchens' 'Creative Cooking Chef's Invitational Challenge'.
The show which premiered on Tuesday October 13, 2009 will run for seven weeks on CVM TV. Over the period eight talented chefs will battle in a knock-out competition to be named "Top Chef" and take home a $50,000 cash prize. The first and second runner-up will take home $30,000 and $15,000 respectively. The competition is a presentation of Grace Kitchens in association with the Culinary Federation of Jamaica.
The objective of the Grace Kitchen's Creative Cooking Chef's Invitational Challenge is twofold. Firstly, by showcasing the skills of top local chefs, the competition aims to generate interest in the field of culinary arts, highlighting it as a career option for young people. Secondly, it is a vehicle to expose the public to new ideas for using local products and produce in expansively original ways.
Each week two chefs will simultaneously prepare and present an entrée. They must prepare the dish in 45 minutes: 40 minutes for cooking and 5 minutes for plating.
To qualify, recipes must use a minimum of four (4) Grace products and incorporate a range of local produce. Dishes are judged on the following criteria:
The chef with the highest score moves on to the next round. The last two standing chefs face off in the finals. The rules remain the same throughout the competition.
The competing chefs were chosen from around the island and their backgrounds are excellent examples of the diversity of the culinary career path: from personal chefs, to restaurant chefs to five-star hotel chefs.
Throughout the competition, chefs rise to the occasion by devising radical new ways to make use of convenience foods while showing high levels of skill, artistry and creativity.
The 'Grace Kitchens Creative Cooking Invitational Chef Challenge' airs at 7:50 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays on CVM TV in 2 parts: Tuesday is the preparation part of the competition and Friday is the Judging and Results segment.

Planners make presentation
Date: November 21, 2012
by: Roger Drouin | City Editor
Fort Lauderdale is on track to become one of the next cities to have a streetcar running through its downtown.
The East Coast city of 165,000 residents has secured funding — including $30 million in federal funding, $18 million in a Department of Transportation grant and $35 million in state funding — to construct the $125 million streetcar network.
The 2.7-mile streetcar is being called "The Wave." Construction is scheduled to start in 2014, with the streetcar opening in December 2015.
At a public meeting Thursday, Nov. 15, at City Hall, Michael Chen, a planner with Tindale-Oliver & Associates Inc., described Fort Lauderdale's planned streetcar to show that funding, from state funding to federal grants, is available for streetcars.
The city of Sarasota has been flirting with the concept of bringing a shorter streetcar route to downtown.
A fixed-rail streetcar project would have much more of an economic-development impact than a bus-type trolley system, planning consultants said at the meeting.
"It is a reliable magnet to attract growth and development," Chen said of streetcar networks.
One of three possible streetcar routes through downtown Sarasota has the potential to spur $8.9 million in additional ad valorem tax over a 10-year period, according to estimates from Tindale-Oliver. That route loops through the Rosemary District.
Chen was one of three consultants to present at last week's meeting, held to discuss the possibility of a downtown circulator with the public. Much of the discussion at the meeting, attended by about 50 residents, centered on the possibility of a streetcar through downtown Sarasota.
Two recent events might impact the availability of such funding, though — including President Barack Obama's re-election.
"I believe this administration and Congress will continue to fund transit," Chen said.
Hurricane Sandy, meanwhile, has damaged a good portion of the public transportation system throughout the Northeast, which comprises about 30% of public transit nationwide, and necessary repairs could possibly lessen the pot of money available for new projects, Chen said.
The next step in Tindale-Oliver's preliminary study is to schedule several more public workshops.
"There will be a couple more presentations and more interaction with the public," said Michael English, urban planner with Tindale-Oliver.
After the public process, the planning firm will make a recommendation to the City Commission about whether the city should further study and pursue a streetcar project downtown.

Remember the violent, angry, vulgar Occupy Wall Street movement which was backed by Obama, his party and MSM? Remember how it was portrayed in messianic terms as a great social justice grassroots awakening of the oppressed and exploited American people (the 99% working class) against the dirty, filthy, greedy, evil, tyrannical class of plutocratic corporate capitalists (the top 1% millionaire-billionaire rich) who were growing wealthier on the backs of everyone else causing massive inequality and worsening poverty? Whatever happened to this movement? Why did it burn out so fast? The answer is simple: most 99%ers (those with a net worth less than $1 million) long to enter the ranks of the top 1%; they want to be dirty, filthy stinking rich with more than enough wealth to provide for themselves and their families. Occupy Wall Street failed to take off and resonate with the public because it demonized the very successful people most Americans emulate and want to be: the achievers of the American Dream of financial independence and self-sufficiency.
Indeed, most 99%ers rejected the OWS Progressive-Marxist-Socialist lie that the American free enterprise system is fundamentally unfair; that success is a zero sum game where the cards are stacked against them; and that the gates to upper income heaven are closed to them and can only be forced open by government action and redistribution of wealth. OWS was a power-grabbing movement based on the leftist fiction of Two Americas: the very rich and everyone else; and that the disparity and inequality of the two were permanent and fixed; that upward mobility was dead; and the American work ethic useless for getting far ahead. No matter how hard you worked your efforts were doomed to fail; you'd remain a lowly 99%er till you died with your children and grandchildren following you. And unless the state massively intervened to restore a level playing field where everyone could thrive they'd be no hope or change; no restoring the American Dream; no justice in the world.
In fact, today, as I write, approximately 1000 Americans will reduce to utter absurdity the Progressive-Marxist-Socialist claim that the 99% are oppressed and kept in chains by the 1% rich-that inequality of wealth and income is permanent and fixed. For every single day of the year about 1000 hard working Americans graduate from being 99%ers to the top 1% joining the ranks of millionaires. This was the finding several years ago of WealthInsight a non-partisan London-based wealth-research and data firm. This study shows that by the end of 2011 there were 5.1 million millionaires in America compared to roughly 4 million in January 2009 when Obama took office. This means that 1.1 million new millionaires were created in between-averaging out to 1000 new 1%ers per day. What other country in the world does that?
But despite the fact that the American Dream is alive and well and thriving for millions, our mendacious Marxist Liar-in-Chief is desperately trying to resurrect the failed OWS movement in a new guise by launching a war on inequality and poverty, and restore upward mobility to our "economically unfair society." No president's been more delusional.
When Obama entered office he brought his community organizer mentality with him treating all of America as if it were the streets of Chicago...and he just can't outgrow it or let it go. He's a stuck on stupid, emotionally arrested leftist president in search of a crisis to stir up the country to revolutionary change. After failing to rally the American people to health care reform (6 of 10 Americans opposed Obamacare when it was signed into law), catastrophic global warming (Cap 'n Trade was killed in Congress), gun control (died in the Senate) and Sequester hysteria (remember that manufactured nightmare) he's laughably hoping he's found a galvanizing crisis in income inequality-which the public cares nothing for (see the Fox News poll). In short, the imaginary crisis of income inequality is the last hurrah for Obamunism.

Mesa West, Prime Finance Prep Loan Funds
Mesa West Capital and Prime Finance have begun marketing their latest funds, seeking a total of $1.3 billion of equity to exploit surging demand for short-term mortgages.
Los Angeles-based Mesa West has set a target of $650 million. Prime Finance, of New York, is aiming to raise $600 million. The vehicles would write floating-rate loans of five years or less for borrowers looking to stabilize overleveraged or transitional properties.
Its the third fund for each of the operators, which were among the few high-yield debt shops to raise substantial capital during the downturn. Each exceeded its equity goal on its previous fund.
The bridge-lending business is likely to be brisk in the next few years, as mortgages written at the height of the real estate boom mature. Many of those mortgages are backed by properties that have plummeted in value, and borrowers are apt to need short-term loans to stabilize the properties before qualifying again for permanent financing.
Mesa West Real Estate Income Fund 3 would seek a 12% return, primarily by originating two- to five-year floaters on transitional properties in the Western and Northeastern U.S. The operator writes mortgages of $5 million to $130 million on all property types. A first close is expected during the second quarter.
The firm began marketing its previous fund in mid-2008, at the brink of the recession. Its goal was $400 million, but it raised $614.5 million by the final close in 2010. Mesa West Real Estate Income Fund 2 is now roughly 75% invested, and the remaining capital is expected to be deployed by yearend. Mesa West was founded in 2004 by industry veterans Jeff Friedman and Mark Zytko.
Prime Finance Partners 3 would pursue a 10% return by writing loans of roughly $10 million to $75 million on all property types. It will also consider larger deals. The vehicle would focus on bridge loans, but could also provide mezzanine loans and preferred equity.
The predecessor vehicle set out in 2009, at the depths of the recession, with an equity goal of $400 million. It reached $440 million at its final close in late 2010. Prime Finance Partners 2 is now roughly 95% invested. Prime Finance was founded in 2008 by former Natixis executives Scott Douglass, Steve Gerstung and Jon Brayshaw. It is backed by Prime Group of San Francisco.

§ I: 2011 Draft Analysis
§ II: Offensive & Special Teams Roster Analysis
As in part two of this series, I will be analyzing the roster post free agency and draft, only this time on the defensive side. As Bills fans will remember (or not want to remember), the defense played poorly for the majority of the last season as they transited from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4/4-3 hybrid. With this in mind, CHIX devoted much of the draft, 7 of 9 picks (including the first four) to strengthen the defense and effect a permanent change to a 3-4 scheme. In free agency, the Bills lost their lead tackler ILB Paul Posluszny to the Jaguars and opted to let go SS Donte Whitner. Also gone are DL (first round pick) John McCargo, ILB Akin Ayodele, ILB Keith Ellison and CB Ashton Youboty. (Poz, Whinter and Ayodele were the top three tackles on the team, each with over 100… something to think about) The Bills did add Packer ILB Nick Barnett though to help strengthen their linebackers though. What is for sure though is that the defense is loaded with potential and a bigger (and hopefully healthier) front seven to compete with in the upcoming season. (underlined players are 2011 draft picks, italicized players are free agent additions (experienced and rookies)).
LE: Edwards, Johnson, Dotson
NT: Williams, Troup, Jasper, Heard
RE: Dareus, Carrington, Langley
SLB: Kelsay, Batten, Kirlew, Eddins
MLB: Davis, Torbor, White, Jefferson
WLB: Barnett, Moats, Sheppard, Hicks
JLB: Merriman, Coleman, Maybin
CB: McGee, McKelvin, Corner, Means
CB: Florence, Williams, Rogers, Doyle, (Cook)
SS: Wilson, Scott, Searcy, Corto, Glover
FS: Byrd, Coleman
Left End:
Starting on the left end, we see the return of Dwan Edwards, who came to the Bills two years ago as a big free agent pick up. While he is not known as a sack guru, Edwards ability to make tackles on the line is quite valuable. His immediate backup is veteran Spencer Johnson who while is past his prime, is good for a down or two on the field. Lastly on my list is Lionel Dotson, a free agent pick up and four year veteran with a light resume. Dotson could make the team as a fifth DE, but given the versatility on the line already, I find this unlikely.
Nose Tackle:
A position of worry in 2010 for the Bills turned out to be a false alarm after starter Kyle Williams, though undersized, led the team in sacks (5.5) and earned a pro-bowl nod. 2010 second round Torell Troup as such did not see as much playing time as such, but still provides quality depth and is supposedly in better physical condition. A name that has generated a lot of fan interest since his seventh round supplemental pick this year is Michael Jasper. Jasper since being drafted has reportedly lost somewhere around 50lbs (from his 395 beforehand) and would be a beast in sub-packages and definitely garners at least a practice squad spot to hone his techniques. Competing with him is big man Kellen Heard whose massiveness is second only to Jasper.
Right End:
With Marcus Stroud gone after a lackluster season, the Bills made a big pick up with their overall pick, Marcel Dareus. Dareus is already making big plays in practice and should be a solid long term starter and could also back-up the nose tackle position as well given his size. Behind him is Alex Carrington, a second year man who did not see a lot of playing time last year, but should hopefully have developed enough from last year to see more this year. Lastly, undrafted free agent T.J. Langley from Carrington's alma-matter could try to land a practice squad spot but needs a strong camp to do so.
Sam (Outside) Linebacker:
Starting on the strong-side outside is veteran Chris Kelsay. Kelsay re-signed with the Bills last season for a four year contract despite not having elite playmaking ability. Kelsay however is very durable and compared to his time as a 4-3 DE, had a very productive year. Behind him is untested talent however. First on the list is former sixth rounder Danny Batten who has the ideal build for the position and played well in college. Following him is 2010 practice squad member Jamie Kirlew who played well in Indiana but must bring it to the next level in camp to earn a final roster spot. Lastly, Ball State's Robert Eddins was an undrafted free agent pick up whose performance in college may warrant a practice squad spot.
Mike (Inside) Linebacker:
A spot of the roster that has been under scrutiny as of late, current starter Andra Davis may be fighting for a roster spot. The ten year vet had a somewhat disappointing year last season that ended in injury. Immediately behind him is Reggie Torbor, another veteran whose value increases with his ability to play on the outside as well. Sixth round pick Chris White is another hard hitting ILB that the Bills drafted this year to serve as the eventual backup in this position. Lastly, Brad Jefferson, a free agent rookie pick up from Georgia Tech could be in consideration for a practice squad spot but with a depth filled interior, is not expected to make the final cut.
Will (Inside) Linebacker:
The playmaker inside, the Bills lost beloved LB Posluszny to free agency. In return, they picked up Nick Barnett, who although is a bit older (and has had injuries in two of the last three years), is an experienced 3-4 linebacker. Barnett is a sure tackler and pass defender so he seems set to start in September. Behind him is Arthur Moats, perhaps the productive player from last year's draft class despite only being a sixth rounder. Moats played well at the end of last season as a jack LB and will be used largely for blitzes. I believe the decision to move Moats inside was done when there was no clear starter following the Poz departure and may still be the backup for Merriman as well. This is especially true given this year's third round pick Kelvin Sheppard. Sheppard has the build and talent to play either strong or weakside and the coaches will definitely want to use that talent in subpackages to develop him for the years to come. Lastly Brandon Hicks (another rookie FA) will fight for a practice squad spot whilst focusing on special teams play.
Jack (Outside) Linebacker:
For a position that requires the fastest pass rusher, the Bills picked up one of the best in Shawne Merriman during the 2010 season. While Merriman was on his third year of recovering from a myriad of injuries (after three pro-bowl years), he seems to be in top form from first looks in training camp. Given that the coaches are moving Arthur Moats to the inside (although he did perform well as the jack LB at the end of last season), the next best option here is Antonio Coleman. Coleman saw a little playing time last year as an undrafted rookie so I'm not totally convinced he'll land a roster spot. The other player to consider here is Aaron Maybin, a former first rounder whom has been declared by most fans as a bust. Maybin has a long way to go despite having good speed and physique due to a lack of technique and unless he has a phenomenal camp, may get the early boot.
The Bills seem to be at a bit of a crossroads this year at cornerback as, like the wide receiver position, have excellent depth with four potential starters. The first of these is Terrence McGee who has been a long term starter for the Bills. McGee has good speed and coverage ability but has been plagued by the injury bug over the past few years; if healthy McGee should start. Drayton Florence returns after an up and down year with a new contract. Was the new deal a little high… perhaps? But Florence is a tall corner who when not getting penalized can provide reliable coverage. Likewise former first rounder Leodis McKelvin has battled inconsistency in his career but played well overall as a starter in the latter half of last year. The last person fighting for a starting position (and will definitely make the team) is second round rookie Aaron Williams. While drafting Williams seemed somewhat controversial at first, strong first impressions at camp are changing minds and Williams seems in line to become the nickel-back. Where this puts McGee, McKelvin and Florence on the cornerback depth chart, I have no idea.
First person competing for a depth position is Reggie Corner. Corner is a four year vet who spent time as the nickel back last year whose play while inconsistent was not terrible. Behind him is seventh rounder Justin Rogers. Rogers is a special teams ace and was also noted for his speed and interceptions in college so he brings excitement to a secondary that struggled to get interceptions last year. Also in camp is Loyce Means, an undrafted rookie who is making some plays in training camp but seems to be more in line for a practice squad spot. Likewise Doyle Miller (another undrafted rookie) finds himself in a similar situation. Lastly rookie Domonic Cook who sustained an injury in camp was placed on injured reserve so the Bills may see some potential in him, but how he plays after healing is another story.
Strong Safety:
With the Bills opting to release Donte Whitner a gap at this position resulted. Fortunately, even before drafting Da'Norris Searcy in the fourth round this year. George Wilson (who has been backing up Byrd at free safety and a special teams ace) is pegged as the starter after displaying great playmaking ability in the backfield and having a good build to double at strong safety. (Wilson was ranked only two spots lower than Whitner on Walter's FA list for safety). Behind Wilson and likely to see playing time is Bryan Scott who saw time last year in sub-packages to cover tight ends and run support. Searcy who may be the long term starter of the group will be used more in special teams this year as he develops. Next is Jon Corto who has been a special teams specialist likely pressed to keep a roster spot as a backup in the safety position. Last on my list is Sidney Glover, a rookie free agent the Bills picked up who ranked decently among safeties in college but is the most pressed to secure a roster spot.
Free Safety:
The Bills are set in this area with Jairus Byrd returning. Byrd, despite not picking off as many passes as he had in his rookie year (1 in 2010 to 9 in 2009) developed as a tackler and easily earns the starter nod. Wilson would likely takeover for Byrd, were he to get injured although Aaron Williams, Da'Norris Searcy or Jon Corto could take over in that department as well. Rajric Coleman has good speed and played well in college but like Glover will be hard pressed to make the roster.
While the Bills offense clearly has a few question marks across the board, the defense has relatively few in turn. The Bills defensive line seems to be set with definitive starters and backups that seem versatile enough in some instances to double as nose tackles or defensive ends. While you shouldn't expect a slew of sacks this year, expect a lot more pressure and a better run defense. Likewise the secondary seems to be set as well despite a few new roster additions. Inside linebackers also have great depth and the only question there is who/when will players see time on the field. Outside linebackers lastly have veteran starters although injury and playmaking concerns do exist. Behind them is an untested group of youths who hope to make an impact this year.
New Roster Changes:
As this is supposed to be a post on the defense, I shall try to keep this part short as the changegs mentioned are all offensively. Perhaps the biggest change that the Bills made to their roster was made with the trading of Lee Evans. Personally I am against the move as Evans took pressure off of the Bills young WR corps, but fortunately there is still talent in that position so hopefully Gailey can surprise opposing defenses. One such player is newly acquired (former first rounder) Buster Davis, who despite his talent has had quite a few injuries that have prevented him from hitting his stride. The only other roster changes that have been made since last week have been replacing backup rookie RB free agents Vai Taua and Emmanuel Moody with Bruce Hall (who has already spent time on the Bills practice squad a few years ago) and rookie FA Anthony Elzy.
Go Bills!

Familiar Foes Meet For WWPA Title
LMU and UC Davis to meet fifth time in WWPA title game on Sunday at 4 p.m.
April 27, 2008
Los Angeles, CA - The 2008 Western Water Polo Association Women's Water Polo Championship will come to a close with a familiar ring to it. Tournament host and No. 2 seed Loyola Marymount (20-10) will take on top-seed UC Davis (25-8) in the championship game at the Burns Recreation and Aquatics Center Sunday at 4 p.m. The two teams will meet in the title game for the fifth time since 1999 and the fourth consecutive time.
The two teams have won eight of the last nine titles, seven since 2001 by LMU, who are the defending champions playing in their own pool. The two teams met twice this season, both winning at their home venue. The Lions won 9-8 in overtime on March 8 at the Burns Center while the Aggies won on April 5, 9-7, in Davis.
LMU comes into the tournament with a 14-3 win over Cal State San Bernardino in the quarterfinals and a 4-3 win over No. 16 UC San Diego in Saturday's semifinal. The Aggies defeated Cal State Monterey Bay 11-6 in the quarterfinals and Santa Clara in the semifinals, 5-4.
LMU's Nicole Hughes leads the tournament with nine goals in two games, including a career-best seven against CSUSB. UC Davis is led in scoring by Laura Uribe with five goals. However, it has been the team's defense that has them in the title game.
The Aggies and goalie Casey Hines has allowed just five goals in their two games. Hines has made 16 saves in her two games. LMU had done one better. Sophomore goalie Eliana Arellano has held opponents to just three goals in back-to-back games and has made 13 saves.
The championship game will complete a 20-game, three-day tournament. The complete schedule including a link to live stats.

I just read this on the Minnesota Vikings home page on Yahoo!sports. The addition of Lloyd is listed under recent transactions. Which is conflicting news since there is also a rumor that Lloyd signed with Carolina yesterday.
Can anyone confirm or deny this report? It also states that Garret Mills was added to the practice squad. What players were cut to make room for these two?
Any information regarding either of these two potential moves would be appreciated.

This is statement from Chuck Lewis, senior vice president, external affairs.
We wish to confirm that at about 1 o'clock this afternoon a hospice patient was shot and killed by her elderly husband on the hospice inpatient unit at Lehigh Valley Hospital-17th Street in Allentown. The gentleman died from a self-inflected gunshot wound.
According to police, the situation appears to be a discrete incident that was a murder suicide. No other patients or staff were harmed or threatened.
This is a very tragic event and our hearts go out to the family of the deceased and our Lehigh Valley Health Network colleagues who were involved.

ST. PETERSBURG The Jeremy Hellickson Era arrives at Tropicana Field on Monday. How long it last, we'll learn sometime next week.
Hellickson, the Rays top pitching prospect, will be recalled from Triple A Durham to make his major league debut Monday against the Twins.
Very excited to see Hellickson's start, I have had the privilege of seeing all of the recent starting pitching prospects the Rays have sent through Durham (Niemann, Davis, Price, Hellickson, Sonnanstine, Hammell, etc....) and I thought Hellickson was the best of the bunch in Durham, now we get to see what he can do at the ML level. This may be just 1 start though and he will either head to the bullpen (hopefully) or back to Durham.
I'm curious how does everything think he will fare in his debut?
my guess is a little optimistic but 7 innings 5 hits 2 runs 1 bb 8 K

Intrigued by all things positive the practice of Yoga promises to bring, Lisa Low stepped into her first Yoga class looking for 'the inner peace and calmness' so claimed in the countless magazines, books and internet articles she has read. Unlike the 'revelation' sworn by others, her first Yoga class did not – nor did the next, change her life. Undeterred, she returned to the mat week after week, truly enjoying the physical aspect (read: sweat) Yoga brought. It wasn't until years later when she started to realise how her regular practice have changed her thoughts, habits, physical body and dietary aspect, and with the change, how her Yoga practice evolved.
Lisa has been practicing Yoga for over 18 years and have participated in workshops taught by internationally acclaimed Yoga teachers including Rodney Yee, Shiva Rea, Ana Forrest, John Friend, Patrick Creelman, Duncan Wong, Desiree Rumbaugh and Andrei Ram-Om. Her Yoga practice have taken her to yoga shalas in New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne, India, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul. Lisa teaches Hatha, Vinyasa and Power Yoga.
Besides a Yoga teacher accreditation, the self-confessed wanderlust is also an 'addict' to TRX suspension training, outdoor running & indoor cycling, and is gearing towards obtaining a teaching certification in Spinning. Lisa is also certified in Usui Reiki energy therapy.
The Chai Wallah's Interview:
What is your favourite type of class to teach? Without a doubt, yoga core class. The core holds the secret key to countless of asanas from the most basic, to the most complex and advance. It's the core that takes you 'places' in the yoga practice.
What is your favourite pose? There are just too many to list but I have to say any form of inversion. I love it when you get to see the world from a different perspective, don't you think?
What is your least favourite pose and why? Full Rajakapotasana or king pigeon pose – (the one with bent knees, both feet to forehead while in Bhujangasana (cobra)). The toe nails are just not long enough, no matter how long i grow them out! LOL.
What keeps bringing you back to your yoga mat? It's a very expensive mat and I really should maximise the use?! OK seriously, it's the 'high' after a class together with the calm, the peace, and knowing the fact that I've given my all and worked hard during my 'me time', even if it's a yin class. That, and all my teachers – past, present & future, whom have inspired me in so many ways, other yogis, and the countless beautiful covers of Yoga Journal magazine
What is the strangest place you have done a yoga practice/pose? It was in Shanghai, in the middle of nowhere, on a corner of a small street intersection, in the dead of winter (and I'm not a fan of cold weather!), right outside a hole-in-the-wall restaurant with accumulated black grease on the exhaust. You could not describe nor imagine the sight. But we were there, the photographer & I, because the wall color was a perfect match with the yoga outfit I had on, which the photographer swore will make a killer shot. The result? He was right, it was a nice shot – and it nearly killed me because it was so cold. (BYW, the poster was sold for a decent sum of money and 100% of its proceed benefited a children mental hospital).
What is one of your personal quirks/habits/idiosyncrasies? I swear by hot water with lemon, and drink it anywhere and everywhere, even while sitting under a scorching Summer sun.
What is one thing about you that most people don't know (until now)? I'll give you two. 1) that I have a hedgehog for pet, 2) that I'm a mother to a 21 & 20 year olds.

When you are in Human Resources, everyone thinks you know everything there is to know about getting hired. Truth is, most HR folks stumble when implementing their own self-marketing efforts. Having coached numerous HR professionals, I have often been told that many are introverted and find resume writing difficult and networking intimidating. So, if you think you are alone in finding job hunting a challenging task, think again.
Job search techniques have changed over the years. In today's job market, you must learn to define and promote your personal brand in order to distinguish yourself in the workplace. Through personal branding you define your career identity and set yourself apart by emphasizing your personal talents in a way that showcases what is distinctive about you. You develop a mark of excellence that reflects your own unique talents and abilities in the tasks or activities you do best. People who display a great personal brand find it relatively easy to land great jobs and earn promotions. And, they often get paid more, and receive better benefits, than their counterparts.
To increase your opportunities to move ahead try implementing these success strategies:
Define your personal brand. Identify your key strengths, your passions and personality traits, and define which talents you've turned into core competencies that are recognized and respected by your peers and employers. (Read more details on personal branding.) http://soaringon.com/brandyourself.htm Once you are clear on your strengths, be sure to incorporate your accomplishments and the results you have achieved into your resume. General, boring job descriptions are ineffective. Defining how you have saved time, increased productivity, cut costs and added to the bottomline capture attention. Make sure your resume screams, ''I'm a get-the-job-done kind of person.'' Use the actions = results formula, hitting only your major accomplishments and noting the experience you have that is necessary to do the job. Action verbs like directed, created, implemented are powerful so start each sentence with one. (Take the resume assessment to see how your resume stands out.) http://robinryan.com/resumeQuiz.htm
Network!!! 63% of all jobs last year were found through contacts according to the Department of Labor. Others can pass on leads and introductions, even forward your resume on to a hiring manager, to insure your resumes get a look. Join and attend professional meetings, making an effort to meet two people to add to your network. If you have a favorite company you wish to get into, search your network and their's to find someone inside to help you.
Hit the interview running. Start the interview in the best possible way: when the interviewer asks the, ''Tell me about yourself,'' question, forget an autobiography. Use the 60 Second Sell. This technique has you analyze the job duties the employer wants accomplished, then select your top five selling points your strongest abilities, experience and skills (AKA your personal brand), that demonstrate that you can do the job. Link these five points together in a few sentences and you have created a ''verbal business card'' that is the most effective way to begin and to close the interview. Keep the momentum going with good, prepared answers to questions and practice before you ever face the interviewer. Pre-determine some specific examples of your past performance for any situational questions that come up. AND DRESS UP! Too casual is unprofessional, but this is a mistake many people are making. You need to ''look'' like a role-model of the company who would fit in nicely with the image the company wants to portray. A big smile on your face is your most important asset; use it often. (Take the interactive interview quiz to see if you are ready to face an employer and succeed.) http://robinryan.com/quiz.htm
Negotiate the salary. The biggest salary increases are the result of negotiating with the new employer. Know exactly what your skills are worth in the marketplace so you do not undersell yourself. Never mention money until the position is offered and the interviewer has mentioned salary first. This preserves your negotiation power. Many clients have followed this advice and found themselves $20,000 richer, so work to become skillful at negotiations so you don't leave any money that the employer was willing to pay on the table.

A little after 9:00 on Tuesday night at Cameron Greens Apartments on Cameron Road, Austin Police found 19-year-old Reynaldo Ortega with multiple gunshot wounds. He died shortly after help arrived.
"Our homicide detectives have been able to determine that Mr. Ortega was in the parking lot at about 9:15 PM when he was approached by a black male. A disturbance ensued and during that disturbance Mr. Ortega was shot multiple times," said Lt. Michael Eveleth with Austin Police.
Then, another man was found shot on the other side of the complex.
He was taken to UMC Brackenridge where police say he's in stable condition.
Austin Police say they're looking at these incidents as completely separate shootings by the same shooter.
He's described as a black male 18 to 20 years old wearing dark pants and a dark hoodie.
Police think his intention was to rob the people he ended up shooting.
Eveleth says robberies have been on a downward trend.
"In that area, they're down 41%. And citywide, they're down 27%. So this really caught us off guard because we're not seeing robberies out there," Eveleth said.
Police say if you find yourself in this situation, just give up your stuff.
"We don't know what ensued. But if somebody's out there and they're committing robberies, it's not worth it. It may be that this guy would have done this anyway but if you are confronted with something like this, your best option is to be a good witness for us and survive," Eveleth said.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the Homicide Tip Line at 512-477-3588 or Crimestoppers at 512-472-TIPS or text "Tip 103" + your message to CRIMES. You may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 if your tip leads to an arrest or charges being filed.

Jeremy Gutsche: Keynote Speaker
Adapt & Disrupt: Capture New Business Opportunities and Stay Ahead of the Pack
After finding success, many organizations fall into a pattern of dire complacency. Their decision-makers forget about adapting and making change happen. Whether afraid to fail at something new, or paralyzed by a bureaucratic pace and shrinking budgets —they don't even try. Once-thriving organizations can quickly wilt, and the results can be deadly. Just ask Kodak or Smith Corona, whose leaders didn't adapt at crucial moments of transformation. Today, no one within any company or organization can afford to stagnate. Each employee needs to keep pushing forward. In this powerful talk, Jeremy Gutsche shows you how to awaken, hunt, and capture those immense opportunities that others might too easily dismiss. Drawing on 200 interviews with CEOs, data sets from Trendhunter, new case studies, and even his family's personal journey of entrepreneurial daring, Jeremy Gutsche challenges audiences to define their core values, and guides them toward a new outlook on innovation, disruption, and adaptation.

He was even more critical of users of social networks like Swipely, designed for friends to share their purchase history. "Why would you put your shopping history on (things like that)?" he said. "You deserve every bit of screwing that you get."
Still, consumers have a sense -- logical or not -- that they have some control over the voluntary sharing they do, while they have little or none over a retailer tracking their movements in a store.
The tracking is possible because of the MAC (Media Access Control) address that all Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-enabled devices have -- a unique, 12-digit code to help routers send data to the right recipient. When a Wi-Fi card is on, looking for networks to join, it is detectable by local routers, such as those in a retail establishment.
Through that, the company can learn how long people stand in line at a cash register, what aisles they visit and for how long, what promotions are more effective, who visits their stores more than once, what spot in the store draws the most people, and much more.
This information is logged and uploaded to third-party companies that conduct data analytics. According to Jules Polonetsky, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based think tank Future of Privacy Forum (FPF), nine firms have most of the market for analyzing tracking data, but there are 40 or more in the field.
[The autonomous, hackable car]
The obvious goal of all this is, on its face, rather benign. "They want to sell you stuff," said Rambam. But privacy advocates say it can and does go well beyond that.
"This tracking is happening generally without people knowing, and it doesn't even leave cookies or make connections that you can monitor," said Parker Higgins, an activist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
"It also ignores that different norms govern what's reasonable in different environments. Your doctor can ask questions that would seem much more invasive asked by your mechanic," he said.
They also contend it is not as benign as simply providing consumers with more relevant ads. "Threats to our privacy aren't isolated -- they work together," Higgins said. "A tracking device that catches you walking regularly past the door of a store next to a medical clinic may reveal a lot more than intended."
Rebecca Herold, CEO of The Privacy Professor, said that kind of tracking, especially after it is in the hands of third-party firms, "no doubt will be used by many other entities to prove a person was located at a certain place at a certain time, along with what they were looking at. 'Gee, look! Father O'Malley spent 15 minutes reading Hustler magazine right after church! He's a pervert!'" she said is one possible scenario.
"But you may be implying something that is not the case in real life," she said. "Big data analytics will be used to reveal a huge amount of perceived activities by individuals, but it will not always be correct."
Presumably, smartphone users could defeat the tracking simply by disabling the Wi-Fi when they are shopping. But Higgins and Herold both contend that the burden should not be on users. "Privacy conscious users shouldn't have to turn off basic features just to avoid excessive tracking," Higgins said.
And Herold said according to some reports, smartphones may be trackable even when they are turned off.
There are some organized efforts being made to give control over tracking back to mobile device users. The FPF and The Wireless Registry are reportedly working to build what would amount to a Do Not Call registry for MAC addresses. It would let device owners visit a website, enter a MAC address, and be assured that tracking companies that have committed to the project will no longer track them.

Residents of the Rose Hill area of Charlottesville met with city staff Wednesday to discuss how to improve road conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists in the neighborhood.
Problems currently facing the neighborhood include speeding and a lack of crosswalks.
Amanda Poncy, Charlottesville's bicycle and pedestrian coordinator, laid out three different options that would improve current conditions:
Options two and three would remove parking on one side of the road and would also narrow traffic lanes.
"One of the things that I do think will come up is parking on Rose Hill Drive because in order to achieve some of the longer term goals there might be a need to take away some parking spaces," said Poncy.
Feedback about the three options will be taken into consideration and will go toward establishing a final plan.
