Greg Van Tighem is on a mission to end multiple sclerosis (MS).
The fire chief from Jasper, Alberta, left Masset, BC at the western end of the Yellowhead Highway March 2. His goal: Ride a "fat bike" the entire length of Highway 16 and raise $93,000 for MS research.
He could have picked a better time of year and a sleeker ride, but that was all part of the design. His reasoning was that facing the treacherous conditions of a winter ride through the mountains and across the prairies would elevate the profile of the trip and increase his fundraising potential.
The fat bike, basically a mountain bike without shocks and fitted with five-inch balloon tires, offered him more stability and traction in conditions such as snow and soft terrain. It also raised the challenge, however.
"You have to keep the pedals going to keep moving," he said.
That was particularly true right from Day 1 when he encountered a blizzard on the eight-hour ride from Masset to Charlotte City. Then there was the wind tunnel that slowed him down between Prince Rupert and Terrace followed by Hungry Hill, a monster climb halfway between Smithers and Houston that is difficult enough to do in a small car, much less a fat bike with 80 pounds of gear attached to it. He said it was fun going down the other side, though, when he reached 56 km/hr, his highest speed of the entire trip.
Nevertheless, he made it to Foam Lake by Day 23 in world record time for a fat bike and over-nighted at the La Vista Motel.
A strong headwind the next day, April 3, turned his estimated five-hour trip to Yorkton into an eight-hour ride.
"There were a few tough days in Saskatchewan and Manitoba," he said. "It seems like everywhere I go there's a black cloud over me."
His reception in Yorkton took a bit of the sting out of the wind, however, as the fire department escorted him into the city, provided supper and a bed in the dorm at the fire hall.
Van Tighem was impressed.
"It is without question the nicest fire hall I've ever been in, and I've been in a lot of fire halls," he said, adding the caveat that he had not visited a lot of "big city, professional" departments.
This is not the first time Van Tighem has done a tour like this. Last year, he rode Route 93 end to end, from Wickenburg, Arizona to Jasper.
Since he started fundraising for the MS Society of Canada six years ago he has raised more than $250,000.
On Monday, the fire chief arrived at his final destination, the famous corner of Portage and Main in Winnipeg having raised around $10,000 en route. He will continue to collect donations from the ride and run other events such as barbecues, car washes, a golf tournament, whatever it takes to reach his goal by October.
He is confident it can be done. At the end of his Route 93 trip, he only had about $8,000, but went on to collect $96,488 in 2013.
Yorkton Fire Protective Services is helping out by receiving donations at the fire hall on Smith Street for the next couple of weeks.

Schenn to start with Phantoms, Couturier makes the Flyers
source says Couturier did "nothing" to play himself off roster; i think Schenn (inj) starts season w/Phantoms— Tim Panaccio (@tpanotchCSN) October 2, 2011
Thoughts? How long does Schenn stay down with the Phantoms? It's probably best that Couturier stays with the Flyers instead of going back to Juniors

happy birthday, moon jongup! ❝ i'm actually quite bright and sometimes become the mood maker.❞
You are the adorable, smiley dancer that all of us know and love, and from our first meeting early last year, the changes us fans have experienced with you have been abundant. From your precious smile, to your defined Cheeto-like arms, it's hard to believe that there is so much talent underneath that handsome exterior.
You may don a smile from ear to ear nine times out of ten, but when you go on stage your charismatic performer side comes out to shine. With every spin and shuffle of your feet, and the fresh tone of your vocals, we become dumbfounded at how such a talented side is hidden in such a lovely boy. Your resoluteness and determination are evident in all of your endeavours, and we will support you and be with you every step of the way.
We wait with baited breath to see what you have in store for us next, and may you continue to work hard until you reach the top, just like your idol. As long as you continue to show us your diverse sides, we'll be sure to reciprocate! Good luck on your journey to success, and happy birthday to our sweet and humorous Moon Angel. ♡
happy birthday, yoo youngjae! ❝ if you see someone who looks kind and feels like the friend from next door, that's me, youngjae.❞
The first time all of us met you, you were a talented vocalist showing so much determination to excel in the industry. Ever since that day, we have been watching you develop and improve to be the amazing artist you are today. Going from the polite, intelligent boy we first encountered in the beginning of last year, to the giggly babo we all know and love today, it's been such an enjoyable journey to watch you grow.
Talent like yours is truly undeniable, and with a short run of smooth, husky vocals, you make all of us awestruck, and your talent doesn't stop at that. You have proven to be an immensely diverse and versatile individual, with so many sides to you that have been and are yet to be discovered; once the charismatic stage presence that we are used to is removed and you step off the stage, you revert back to your loveable, boyish self with a quick giggle and a flash of your beautiful smile.
Like the time your friends cheered you on in the beginning, us fans will do the same, and will never stop until the very end. May you continue on your way to being the best you can possibly be. As long as you continue to supply us with love, we'll be sure to do the same. Happy birthday to you, our sweet and fluffy, golden-ratio face. ♡
happy birthday, choi junhong! ❝ i will continually run towards the top without faltering to conceit. ❞
The first time we saw you way back in 2011, you were barely 15 and showing so much potential. Ever since then, we have been watching you develop to be the amazing performer you are today. Going from a shy boy hiding his chin behind a mask to who you are now, we have followed you while you learned to leave it behind and stand proudly for yourself.
Being the adorable maknae, you are loved by your hyungs and all of your fans around the world. Your youth is a cornerstone of the group; it brings all the energy, enthusiasm and joy that it needs to keep on going. However, despite your youth, you have managed to mature at a rapid pace, and thus maintain a serious side in your craft. Much like the speed of your LTE rap!
Not only are you a talented rapper, but also an impressive dancer, always eager to show your skill. Yet, your talents do not stop at just these two. There are so many other hidden talents that are waiting to be utilised, and we anticipate with baited breath to see them shine.
You constantly remind us that you aren't just a tall boy with pretty face. There are so many different, interesting sides of you, and these sides shape you into the Zelo that we all know and love today. May you live your life enriched with the adoration and happiness that we provide you, and may you continue to enlighten our lives with your sweet smile. Happy 16th birthday. ♡
happy birthday, jung daehyun! ❝ the baby fat beneath my eyes creates a soft image whenever i smile.❞
Going from the mysterious guy behind a mask who always said 'no comment' to an adorable and really loveable member, it's a change we've all experienced with you.
Whenever you lay off the mask and show your beautiful face, with an equally beautiful smile, we almost feel thankful because we still remember how it was always hidden at the beginning.
You can change from playful and smiley to a very charismatic and serious guy on stage who belts out the highest notes and impresses us with undeniable talent and a great stage charisma.
Every side of you is a side we love and adore and we hope to see a lot more of them in the future. Be it on stage, on variety shows or in behind the scenes material, we will keep an eye out for you and hope to catch you smiling and laughing even more than you already do.
You have our full support and we wish you the best and many happy moments to come. ♡

happy birthday, kim himchan! ❝role model? i don't have one, i want to become one.❞
Ever since our first meeting with you back in the summer of 2011, you were always quite mysterious and none of us had much of an idea what you were like. And then you became an open book full of weird and amusing sides to you.
To say it with Daehyun's words, you are the 'hardworking pretty boy' and 'indispensable atmosphere maker' of the group. Every day we look forward to what you have in store for us and so far you've never disappointed us. As B.A.P's multi-talented "mother", we will always look after you and cheer for you, even if behind the scenes we make fun of you and pick on you as much as your fellow members.
We love you very much, commander, and hope you will continue to brighten our lives with your dumbness wittiness, sweetness and gorgeous looks. We wish you all the best for your 22nd birthday. ♡
happy birthday, bang yongguk! ❝ are you watching, earthlings?❞
You are leader, producer and rapper and you give your everything for every single one of these roles. However you are not only a musician with a group behind you but also an individual with a complex personality.
You might appear rough and strong on the outside but you have shown often enough how dorky and funny you can be. There is more to you than someone can see at first glance and we will look forward to discovering more and more of you.
You grew from being the youngest of an underground crew to the leader of an idol group and now you shine at your brightest. Confidently you walk your own path and we're positive you will succeed in everything you plan to do. If it's the group's success or your own personal one, we will be here to watch and support you.
We hope you will always be able to show us your gummy smile and be happy in your life, that you can go on with the members and fans behind you towards your dream.
There is so much love in this world for you, Bang Yongguk, and a lot of it comes from us. We hope you can feel and receive it as you live your life everyday and rather than focusing on conquering the earth first, we just wish that you "do what you like and love what you do". ♡
♡ happy birthday, jongup! let's all wish him a happy birthday through his twitter: bap_jongup! we're sure he'll appreciate every message you send to this adorable, yet attractive dance machine! ♥

CONNERSVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- New Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens isn't so busy with his new job that he had to break a commitment to appear in Connersville's bicentennial parade.
Stevens appeared in the parade Saturday, fulfilling a promise to made to former Butler star and Connersville native Matt Howard.
Howard tells WTHR-TV he was "shocked" Stevens made the parade after appearing at a news conference Friday in Boston. He told Stevens he could back out, but the coach insisted.
Stevens says the city about 50 miles east of Indianapolis is the first place he drove to after he was hired at Butler. A year ago, he promised Howard that that he'd appear in the bicentennial parade.
On Sunday, Stevens was back at work, watching games in the NBA's Orlando Summer League in Florida.

"Everyone loved the card, it became a mini album of our vacation. I loved the ability to personalize. The pearlizing of the card really added a nice sheen so that was a nice final touch. The quality of the paper is A-1. The printing was beautiful. I loved being given a free hand to "create" and also knowing that a Tiny Prints tech would be available if I ran into a snag. Great experience! Will be doing this every year now with you. Thank you! Rosemary Place, Chicago, Illinois"
"Card turned out even better than I anticipated. Graphic design & scale perfect for my photograph. Paper quality of the card and envelope exceptional. Excellent customer service - thank you Brian! Quick turnaround. Very pleased."
"Our cards came out beautiful! I made three different ones because I just couldn't decide, but this one was my favorite. It was more expensive than the others, but it was worth it. The foil shines beautifully and adds just the right amount of holiday shimmer."
"Our card turned out beautiful, perfect! Got so many compliments this year:) The foil was stamped text and design elements really added to this simple chic layout. Loved it!!!"
"This card is perfect for wide shots! It is decorated just enough to make it festive and Christmasy without compromising a higher quality photographic image. I was also impressed with the speed of delivery compared to other big named card companies that I used during previous years. Even their packaging made me smile! These guys will continue to receive my business."

The reason I state "WIN NOW" is because it seems as though the organization has been in the position for some time now to elevate its standards and expectations from everyone on the team. Sound great, but why aren't we doing that for Doug Free…anymore?
Remember everyone; we haven't had two successful back-to-back seasons for quite some time now. Letting Free and Colombo slide into their positions isn't good for business, and last time I checked, our Cowboys were in the business of winning.
Now by no means am I saying "Doug Free cannot play Left Tackle." Hey he did fairly decent against Jared Allen in the playoff loss in Minnesota, considering: he was playing Right Tackle and has been practicing that position all season, oh and how would you do if all of a sudden you're asked to strap up and take on a Pro Bowler in the middle of a divisional playoff game? Good Times…
Let's be honest, Last Thursday we were all in the position to see Colombo, Adams and Free compete to play in the 2010 season. Doesn't anyone else think a three man race for the tackle positions would've been best for our team? We all KNOW Free can play right tackle and everyone at Valley Ranch has been raving over Free's productivity in "open space" and I'm sure his potential is unquestioned. But why are we being complacent with the areas that we're trying to bulk up and excel at?
Picture this: "Free, Colombo and Gaither to compete for Offensive tackle positions." What part says complacency here? Everyone do some research, Baltimore has stated they want a 2nd rounder for Gaither (need to get rid of him or they're going to be forced to pay high O-Tackle money for both he and Oher). I've seen A LOT of mocks say we pick up Ducasse in the second anyway. Value picks anyone?
I think we need to pick up the pace and really make moves in this draft, even if it means moving up. Gaither is there to shore up or at least improve the depth at one position. At this point, sell me on a round house package to swing up and catch Earl Thomas if you ask me.

For many Jim Beam was their first taste of bourbon. The name is almost synonymous with Kentucky whiskey and played a significant role in bourbon's revival in the later half of the 20th century due largely to well planned marketing campaigns throughout the years. While Jim Beam is as popular as ever, the Beam family has taken their love for making great bourbon to craft a line of spectacular bourbons that make up the company's Small Batch Collection. As the 7th in a generation of bourbon distillers, Fred Noe is now in charge of carrying on the Beam family legacy and oversees the making of not only the Jim Beam bourbons, but Knob Creek, Booker's, Basil Hayden's and Bakers. During the first National Bourbon Heritage Month in September 2007, I was able to chat with Noe about his family's bourbon, their legacy, how to drink bourbon and what it was like growing up a Beam.
Growing up a Beam
The Beam tradition of making whiskey began in 1795 and the family is often referred to as "the first family of bourbon." Although the Samuels, who continue to produce Maker's Mark, are technically the oldest distilling family still in Kentucky, the Beam name is more familiar to the public thanks to the brand developed to commemorate the life of Jim Beam, which still carries his name. Fred Noe is the 7th in the line of bourbon distillers to take on the family business and grew up in the middle of the bourbon industry like his father and grandfathers and is proud of his lineage and the opportunity to "share the product my ancestors made."
Many families have a niche and it just happens that when you're born a Beam your niche is producing fine bourbon whiskey. To Noe the distillery was always there and a "neat place to grow up, I always enjoyed hanging out there." He admits he may have taken the family business for granted, not always realizing the significance of it. As a child the distillery was filled with all the adventures a young boy wanted, it's where he not only learned the craft he now pursues but where many childhood milestones took place such as learning to drive. "I was very popular in college, that's for sure," says Noe, yet he's very humble about being in such a well-known family and simply admits that it was how life was. Noe has been officially employed at the distillery for 23 years and serves as distiller, concentrating on the Small Batch Collection, and Bourbon Ambassador for Beam Global Spirits.
National Bourbon Heritage Month
The legacy the Beam family has left for the bourbon industry is significant and the designation of September as National Bourbon Heritage Month is for the family (as it is with other distilling families) a tribute to their lineage, the industry and the country's history. Fred Noe sees it as national recognition of the history of Kentucky and its influence on the United States. "It's probably the best news to come out of the Senate since Repeal," Noe says with a chuckle. The Kentucky bourbon industry is fueled by an interesting group of people, many with shared ancestry dating back to the birth of bourbon, yet as close in proximity as all of the distilleries and distillery families are, they are all producing different bourbons and finding two that are the same is nearly impossible. Noe sees this diversity as a true benefit to the craft and to the consumer because "being different is what is making bourbon rise" as a whole.

There was a lot of anticipation leading into the UFC 127 fight between Michael Bisping and Jorge Rivera. Although many expected Bisping to roll, Rivera drummed up interest in the fight with a series of Internet videos where he trash talked Bisping. Things reached a fever pitch at the show's weigh-in when the two pointed angrily at each other while exchanging expletives. The two met inside the Octagon and went to battle and it was Bisping who walked away the winner via TKO at 1:54 of round 2.
What was the high point of the fight?
Beyond a doubt, the high point was Bisping drilling Rivera with an illegal knee to the head as Rivera kneeled on the canvas in the first round. It appeared Rivera might not be able to continue, but he did. Bisping was docked a point for the flagrant foul but the fight did go on. Following the knee, Rivera wasn't the same fighter.
Where do these guys go from here?
Bisping is working his way toward a title shot having won three straight fights. He's in the mix in a middleweight division that isn't heavy on top contenders. Another win, considering his star power, likely would put him in line for a title opportunity.
Rivera, a journeyman, heads back to the drawing board after putting together a three-fight win streak heading into the fight. It will be interesting to see how the UFC handles him. Given his advanced age, Rivera would be best used in entertaining fights because he is capable of having those.
Watch it now, later or never?
This fight is probably the most newsworthy bout outside of the main event on the entire show. Bisping's actions have been the source of controversy. The fight itself was dramatic because of the tensions involved before, during and after. This is worth watching now and possibly later as you prepare for Bisping's next fight.

Did we have one of these before? I can't remember.
Anyway, I was wandering over to some of the other SBNation blogs, and kind of felt like running right back here. Wow. Yes, I am very happy that TSF is as great as it is, because this means I have a smart, funny, and enjoyable community to share my Arsenal fandom with.
What do you guys love about TSF?
I'll start:
-smart, funny, warm TSF community members
-epic punning threads and TSF inside jokes (Lt. Serge/pokemon references, Club Diaby, danago, etc.)
-really good discussions about tactics and players (both Arsenal and non-Arsenal)
-hilarious Wenger gifs
-we're pretty welcoming of new members
-even though most sports blogs are like 90%+ made up of guys, this place is not overrun by testosterone manifesting itself in arrogance, jerkfaceness, and one-up-manship (oh my god this is such a relief you don't even know!!!)
-a very good mod/editor crew who set a respectful tone for the community. pdb's thought policing aside (j/k), I'm very glad that we have a good mod crew.
-we don't have Callum Hamilton as an editor.
All these reasons and more are probably why I spend way too much time on TSF. (Helping you to pay for that private jet with my subscription money.)
What do you all like about TSF?

Daft Punk To Hold 'Random' Album Launch With Saw Competition & Dog High-Jump
Radio.com InterviewsKacey Musgraves
Gene Simmons
Courtney Love
Radio StationsBEST OF 2013 (SO FAR)
VideosARTIST PROFILES RADIO.COM CHANNEL
Revered dance duo Daft Punk has been doing things their own inimitable way leading up to the May 21st release of their fourth studio album, Random Access Memories. From old-school billboards to TV commercials to a series of videos with the album's collaborators, the band has ramped up their mysterious robot personas to KISS-like proportions.
Now it's been announced that the album will be premiered at one of the least likely (and most random) locales imaginable: the 79th annual Wee Waa Show in the tiny town (pop. 2100) of Wee Waa, Australia, on May 17.
According to Australia's Herald Sun, "Sony will start playing Random Access Memories from a purpose-built stage as the town gears up for the weekend-long show festivities" on the first night of the annual agricultural event, which starts on May 17 and runs through May 19. The paper goes on to say that party details are "top secret for now, with plans expected to attract international attention to the rural town."
A press release from WeeWaa.com states that tickets to the event will be limited to 4000 (which is almost twice the population of Wee Waa) and go on sale this Friday, April 12. Other events at the show include such "typical Australian country show entertainment" as a cross cut saw competition, dog high jump, showgirls and fireworks. As unexpected as the event seems, representatives from local government arm the Narrabri Shire Council assured Australian site musicfeeds that it's "actually happening."

British dead in Nepal plane crash were travelling with Hampshire firm
11:43am Friday 28th September 2012 in News By Daily Echo Reporter
SEVEN British tourists among 19 people who died in a plane crash in Nepal were travelling with a Hampshire-based firm, it has been revealed.
The British victims were identified by local travel company Sherpa Adventures as Raymond Eagle, 58, Christopher Davey, 51, Vincent Kelly, 50, Darren Kelly, 45, Timothy Oakes, 57, Stephen Holding, 60, and Benjamin Ogden, 27.
The group, who arrived in Nepal on Wednesday and were due to begin trekking today, were travelling with Farnborough-based travel company Explore Worldwide.
Managing director Ashley Toft said: ''We are devastated by this news. Our thoughts are very much with the families of those affected, both in the UK and in Nepal.''
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said the families of the victims have all been informed.
The twin-engine propeller plane crashed shortly after take-off near Nepal's capital, Kathmandu.
The plane, belonging to Nepal's domestic airline Sita Air, was heading east towards Lukla, the gateway to Mount Everest and a popular destination for trekkers.
It crashed near the Manohara River to the south west of the city.
Witnesses say it burst into flames and came down in a field.
Weather in Kathmandu was clear at the time of the crash.
The pilot reported trouble two minutes after take-off, and Kathmandu airport official Ratish Chandra Suman said the plane appeared to have been trying to turn back to the airport.
Reports suggested the accident was caused by a bird strike.
The flight was one of the first to take off from Kathmandu's airport and departed at about 6.15am local time, with other flights reporting no problems.

LAS VEGAS -- The explosion in Las Vegas marijuana grow houses prompted Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie to create a special unit known as Team Six.
Their job is to target the indoor pot farms. What they've found is a greater and greater concentration in the hands of international groups who have moved in to take advantage of foreclosed homes and cheaper rents.
In just the past 48 hours, Team Six has made two discoveries that hint of a much larger problem.
The exclusive community of Canyon Gate Country Club isn't where you'd expect to find a marijuana plantation. But a constable serving an eviction notice earlier this week figured out what was going on inside an expensive home.
The Las Vegas Pot House Murders
Like most grow houses, this one had been trashed -- damage that will not only cost the owner, but also taxpayers.
A Russian man, living there with his wife and child, was arrested by Team Six.
On the same afternoon off Blue Diamond Road, hikers found and reported piles of discarded marijuana -- some of it already harvested, leftovers from an unknown grow operation.
In 2009, Las Vegas narcotics detectives busted 108 grow houses, some of them operating on a massive scale. A former auto repair shop was converted into the largest weed warehouse ever seen locally, with 2,000 plants worth an estimated $7 million.
Anyone with access to the internet can glean the expertise needed to start their own operation. The men who created this masterpiece of a grow house had no previous records. They work for a California air conditioning company and commuted back and forth.
"With the foreclosure crisis what it is in Las Vegas, it's easy for people to come in from California, rent a house cheap for this purpose, then take it back and sell it to dispensaries," said an undercover detective.
Inside one pot house, police found labeled containers suggesting the product was bound for a legal dispensary. Metro says it's not interested in going after legitimate medical marijuana storefronts but the line is often blurred.
Las Vegas is now a net exporter of marijuana, they believe, and the trade is dominated by organized crime.
"What we're seeing in these houses is not medical marijuana. These are not a few cigarettes. This is hundreds of plants -- a level of sophistication you only see with drug trafficking organizations," said Metro Lt. Laz Chavez.
Lt. Chavez supervises Team Six. In its first year, the team saw huge increases in every category it measures – houses, arrests, product and violence. The potential for bloodshed is why the grow unit uses the muscle of a SWAT team to serve search warrants.
"Home invasions, robberies, even murders related to the marijuana grows and sales. The reasons? It's lucrative," said an undercover detective.
Sheriff Gillespie says these groups are organized crime syndicates.
"What we're seeing here in our valley are organizations that are working and it's for the money," he said.
Sheriff Gillespie green lighted the grow squad, in part, because of who controls the trade. Traditionally, Mexican mobsters sold most of the marijuana in the southwest. But a new force has emerged -- Asian organized crime of Chinese and Vietnamese origin.

Softball Faces No. 2 Florida on Wednesday
Related Links
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Jacksonville University softball is continuing to play on the road this week as the Fins travel to Gainesville for a single-game at No. 2 Florida on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
JU (3-2) opened its 2014 season last weekend in Miami at the Felsberg Memorial Tournament hosted at Florida International University (FIU). The Fins split the first two days, highlighting with a 12-0 five-inning shutout over Big East preseason favorite DePaul to open the tournament and ending on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Maryland, thanks in part to sophomore Victoria Brown's solo home run in the first inning.
Brown averaged .375, finished 6-for-16, and recorded five runs, one double, six RBI and three home runs.
Senior Codi Kelly led the Fins at-bat, hitting .467 (7-for-15), tallying two runs, one double and two RBI.
In the circle, Brown's performance was enough to earn her a career-first Atlantic Sun Co-Pitcher of the Week honor on Monday, Feb. 10. Finishing the tournament with two shutouts and relief help, she posted a 0.00 ERA, struck out 10 in 14.1 innings, and walked just two batters. Sophomore Cecile Gomez (1-0) also picked up a win.
Florida (6-0) began its season with a perfect record at the USF Wilson-DeMarini Tournament, beating USF, Illinois State, Wisconsin, Michigan and Bethune-Cookman. The Gators took out the Michigan Blue 9-4 in overtime and finished its tournament with an 8-0 blanking of the Wildcats.
In the series record, Florida has won all 11 contests against Jacksonville, including an 11-3 win last season at the JU Softball Complex.

There is more to come from me, vows Kaka

New Jersey, Nov 13 (IANS) Brazil midfielder Kaka said there was more to come from him, after making a goalscoring return to international football last month.
The 30-year-old was on target in both of Brazil's friendly victories over Iraq and Japan, his first international appearances since the 2010 World Cup, reports Xinhua.
Speaking upon his arrival here for Wednesday's friendly between Brazil and Colombia, Kaka said he still had scope for improvement.
"I felt good in the last two games but I still haven't consolidated my position," Kaka said.
"They were important matches and I had an active role but there is still a lot more to come from me with the national team."
Despite his encouraging performances for Brazil, the 2007 FIFA world player of the year has remained a bit-part player under Jose Mourinho at Spanish giants Real Madrid.
The former AC Milan playmaker revealed Wednesday's match at MetLife Stadium had added personal significance due to his close relationship with Colombia and Atletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao.
"He is an excellent player and great friend. We meet up often in Madrid and have a very good relationship," Kaka said. "I hope his good form continues, except against Brazil."

So far it has been working out fine and I can play on near maxed out settings except for water and anti-aliasing (I am using the post release driver). My problem is that when I activate abilities or items the HUD or border of Dota 2 sometimes flickers white and is very annoying. Also the load screen appears very bright when I first open Dota 2. Am I able to fix this by using one of the beta drivers or do I need to download a AMD catalyst and which one?

Okay folks, here we go! Spring Fashion Week is well under way (just one more day left, today, in New York, and yes I know someone was a bit tardy commencing the coverage!). But that just gave us a little more time to digest what was happening… and trust me, I think this trend's going to need our FULL powers of digestion.
May I present Donna Karan S/S '13:
Deep breaths.
So I think I know what's happening here. It's an evolution of the colour palette Donna was playing with last season—which was actually quite pretty. Remember this?
I wrote about the whole pink/red/orange eyeshadow trend here, and I still stand by the opinion that it can be gorgeous. But here's the thing. You can't then go and riff off of Stella McCartney's coloured eyelashes from F/W '12:
Yes, this coloured mascara freaking amazing in blue… but Donna. Donna! CLEARLY it just don't work in hot pink.
Because if even the model looks sickly then what hope is there for the rest of us? I don't think anyone even bothered sending me a how-to breakdown for this one because they know it ain't gonna happen.
But there IS a broader point to my showing that pic, and that's to present you with evidence of the movement toward brights around the eyes, period. See, Stella's fall look was just a taste of what was to come.
Here's what's happening for spring at Michael Kors:
Now THIS is a little more wearable. Although maybe you'd like to place the liner close to the lashes instead of having it float there above the crease.
Although that, too, is a "thing." Do you remember when I talked about this eyeliner/eyeshadow placement when we saw the Peter Som show last spring?
And also Creatures of the Wind?
So yeah, like the bright colour thing, floating your liner is a look that's been brewing for a while now. But back to spring '13. Here's what the Kors eyes look like closed:
They're not even TRYING to blend the colour. It's just unapologetically THERE, kind of mimicking the line of the brows.
Personally, I'd feel much more comfortable with something that connected it to the lash line. Something more anchored. Like this look for spring at Ohne Titel:
Right? It's like the best of both worlds. Kind of. Granted, you'd need to be pretty damn artistic to get those sweeping curves and pointed edges.
Look closely, and you'll see the Stella influence here too—girl is wearing blue mascara. (I'm kind of obsessed with that blue mascara. Stella is so awesome.)
Anyway, if going Ohne still is too much (and of course it is), here's a more wearable version at Rebecca Minkoff:
It's that same bright greeny-blue but just at the inner corners, close to the lash line, where you'd normally be inclined to apply an iridescent silver or white or golden highlighter.
I like this twist! You? I think we shall all have to try it. The great thing is that it's totally non-scary if you do it like this model here, with the rest of your makeup and hair just simple and pretty.
Alas, the next few looks I have to show you (to offer up more proof of this trend) don't work quite as well off the runway. Getting back to the burgundy thing, here's this year's Creatures of the Wind spring look:
What's hilarious is that the people behind this were inspired by the idea of "monstrous beauty." Are they effing with us? Sometimes I really do think they are.
But you know, it's runway, not real life. And with that in mind, I actually have an appreciation for what Peter Som did this year with his makeup. (Well, not HIS his, but his models.) Check this out:
Super gorgeous, yes? In a My Little Pony sort of way, obviously. Still, I really, REALLY can't advise that you try this one at home. Stick with the Minkoff.
Now, let's talk:
Are you feeling the bright-eye trend?
Would you try it with mascara? Liner? A wash of shadow?
What do you think of the floating liner look?

Ashley's Entourage - Snow Softball Charity Tournament by Eric Gilcris - over 1 year ago
"We created a design for a charity softball tournament in Vermont that raised $25,000 for two teenage girls that had different forms of cancer. 100% of the proceeds went directly to the families and there were 68 teams involved in the event. We know one of the girls, Ashley, who was able to join us for the picture. She's battling Leukemia and although she wasn't able to play, she is front and center in the picture. We had a great time in the tournament and looked sharp in our shirts with designs on the front, the back and recongizing our sponsor, the Vermont Captive Insurance Association on the sleeve. Thanks for the quick turnaround on the shirts."

To many fans and observers, the performance of Jose Aldo was a little bittersweet. Sweet because of his in-cage brilliance. And for a variety of reasons: avoiding the takedown with an effortless limp leg and immaculate balance, displaying no fear in throwing leg kicks against an elite wrestler, and the last sequence which ended the fight deserves its own emphasis.
Aldo's back is facing Chad Mendes with five seconds left in the first round. When Aldo breaks free, with his back still turned to Mendes, he grips Chad's right wrist with his right hand (hindering his ability to defend what was to come), swivels, and unleashes a knee that flatlines Mendes. It was the type of sequence that only the world's best could accomplish: an illustration of how MMA brilliance is defined by that momentary shift from one martial art to the next.
For most fighters MMA is a metaphysical struggle: the battle between revelation and reservation. 'To what degree can I keep my flaws to myself, and to what extent can I disclose the skills with which other men should fear?'
Aldo is different than his P4P contemporaries. He's not more accomplished. So let's clear that up. But his striking is not raw like Jon Jones, and his wrestling isn't lacking like Anderson Silva. If I were to focus on a word that describes Aldo, I can think of none better than 'ethereal'. Aldo isn't rattled by the sudden alterations of context inside the octagon.
If you can forgive this pretentious gushing, I'd ask that you forgive me once more because I think Aldo's post fight celebration was also important. If Aldo is to become a star in his homeland, what better gesture than to allow the Rio de Janeiro crowd to share in that victory by holding Aldo himself up above their shoulders? That moment will define him for the people of Brazil for years.
If there's a 'bitter' to all this, it's in thinking about Aldo's future at 145. 'What's the point?', I hear everyone saying. I agree to an extent. Right now the list of contenders are Hatsu Hioki, Dustin Poirier, Bart Palaszewski, Erik Koch, Chan Sung Jung, Jim Hettes, and perhaps the TUF star Diego Brandao will get his opportunity to be sacrificed in a year or two if he hits a nice winning streak. This is not exactly a murderer's row.
For guys like Hettes, and Poirier, it's simply too soon. For others like Jung, and Hioki, it's too life-threatening. But is a move to 155 really the solution?
For as interesting as the move might be, Aldo is only 25. Let him establish a real legacy while the division is still young. The problem with this line of thinking, that once a division has run out of contenders its champion needs to pack up his fists and leave, is that it can stagnate a division, leaving it without stars and history while giving it all to a division that already has it (well, minus the presence of 'stars').
The importance of being a star is that once you lose, it allows you to create new ones. Let Aldo be that star in the FW division. You're risking too much by having him move to LW. Not because he might lose, but because you'll have robbed a division of its only compelling fighter. You'll have robbed the division of the only question worth asking when watching a prospect, or contender make his own mark at 145: 'who can challenge Jose Aldo?'

text: Not looking for homer answers here, just some solid advice. I am in a 2 QB ppr fantasy league. I have Brees, who played on Thursday and I have Caepernick and McGloin, as well as Vernon Davis and Mychael Rivera. Last week I should have had McGloin starting but I did not, instead going with Cap and Vernon. This week playing the Titans, who have a remarkable pass D, I am wary of playing McGloin and Rivera. HOWEVER, With Moore out and the Titans defensive backs, I think Rivera would be targeted quite a bit and the two could gain me some much needed points (we are almost in the playoffs in FFB and I NEED a win this week). So essentially, I am looking for some advice here. If you were facing this situation what would you do? Thank you in advance for your help on this.

From the album "Concerti per archi" (2004) by Concerto Italiano / Rinaldo Alessandrini. The creator of hundreds of spirited, extroverted instrumental works, Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi (4 March 1678 — 28 July 1741) is widely recognized as the master of the Baroque instrumental concerto, which he perfected and popularized more than any of his contemporaries. Vivaldi's kinetic rhythms, fluid melodies, bright instrumental effects, and extensions of instrumental technique make his some of the most enjoyable of Baroque music. Concerto Italiano is an Italian early music ensemble well known for their interpretations of Monteverdi and Vivaldi, among others. The historically informed performance ensemble was formed by the harpsichordist Rinaldo Alessandrini. Concerto Italiano is under exclusive contract with OPUS 111, which is now under the umbrella of the large French label, Naïve. Most recently, with conjunction with the National University Library in Turin, Concerto Italiano has been recording all the operas and concertos of Vivaldi, many of which have not been performed for over 300 years. www.allmusic.com www.allmusic.com www.arkivmusic.com en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org ### Please support the artist, if you can afford it. ### Boycott RIAA – pay the artists directly to avoid the mafia tribute.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Children who are familiar with the "Between the Lions" TV show will be able to step into the TV show with one of the exhibits at the Mississippi Children's Museum at LeFleur's Bluff State Park in Jackson. There's a news desk where kids can read the news, a quiet reading corner, and more.
"They can build words, practice literacy skills, there's a large magnetic book where they can build their own fairy tale," says Director of Education Jen Cornet.
Another part of the museum our cameras were allowed to see on Wednesday, sneak peek day, is called "Home Par Course". Kids might think it looks like the house they live in, and they will learn how to get exercise from everyday objects. There's an upstairs and a downstairs to the "house". "There will be chores to do, along with sit ups and chin up bars," Cornet says.
Most of the 40,000 square foot museum is still under construction, but in just a few weeks, children and families will be able to jump into history lessons, role play, and learn about Mississippi history.
"We have five different galleries. Our signature gallery is a 5,000 square foot climbing map of Mississippi that celebrates our topographical features," says Museum Executive Director Susan Garrard.
Along with the Mississippi Heritage Gallery, the museum will include a Literacy Gallery, a Health and Nutrition Gallery, a Cultural Arts Gallery, and a World at Work Gallery.
"Family day is December 4, we hope to welcome families from around the state and region to come and celebrate with us. We'll have timed tours of the facility that day," Garrard says.
Admission price for the museum will be $8 flat rate for adults and children. Children who have not reached one year old yet will get in free. For families that may not be able to afford the admission price, the museum is working with the Kellogg Foundation and other organizations to make that possible.

Guide Review - 7 Simple Steps to Unclutter Your Life, by Donna Smallin
While the book provides what I had expected, I was also pleased with the amount of information on various subjects (the book covers putting yourself first, living authentically, following your passion, living mindfully, gaining financial freedom, simplifying daily living, and decluttering your life and schedule), and the approach to decluttering that this book takes. While the information isn't as deep or detailed on most topics as what you would find in books specifically geared toward said topics, the book includes the important 'nuggets' of information on many areas related to stress, personal growth, and various ways we create clutter in our lives, including many of the ones I feature on this site. It helps readers unearth what's important in our lives as well as our desks.
So I've included this book as one of the more useful reads you can pick up if you're stressed and you don't know where to begin to carve out the uncluttered life you'd like to be living, or if you'd like to be handling money better, enjoying stronger relationships, living in a healthier body, or surrounded by less clutter in your home.

The Canton City Council will be tackling a litany of topics from the proposed fire bond referendum, the construction of the Etowah River Park and the continued efforts to reign in mayoral powers during their regularly scheduled meeting Thursday evening at City Hall.
The first issue the council will tackle is whether or not to approve the holding of a special election in March to determine whether or not the city can issue $6 million in bonds to pay for the overhaul of the Canton Fire Department.
The bond would help pay for the construction of three new fire stations, new fire fighting equipment, and the renovation of the downtown fire station. If these plans are completed, the city's ISO rating will decrease, which will save homeowners money on their insurance.
If approved tonight, the ballot question for the March 19 special election will read as follows:
Shall general obligation bonds in the aggregate amount of $6,000,000 be issued by the City of Canton to finance the acquisition, design and/or development of up to three new fire stations; to renovate the downtown fire station; and to finance the acquisition of new fire-fighting vehicles.
The council will then address the highly contentious issue of the mayor's staff and his powers as the CEO of the city. There will be a second reading and vote on Councilman Bill Bryan's ordinance to amend the city budget to remove the funding of the mayor's administrative assistant positions.
A further measure to alter the mayor's power on committees will be read and acted on tonight. The ordinance, brought forward by Councilman Glen Cummins, would replace Section 2-22 of the Code of the City of Canton with the following language:
All city council committees and committee chairman and officers of the city council shall be appointed by the mayor and shall serve at the pleasure of the mayor. The mayor shall have the power to appoint new members of the city council committee at any time. The mayor shall be an ex-officio member of all committees but shall have no vote.
Councilman Bob Rush is expected to bring forth an amendment to the city charter that would re-define the mayor's powers.
Currently, the mayor's powers are defined in section 2.36 of the charter as follows:
The Mayor shall be chief executive of this city. (The mayor shall possess all of the executive and administrative power granted to the city under the constitution and laws of the state of Georgia; and all the executive and administrative powers contained in this charter)
Rush's proposal would restrict the mayor's powers to those expressly mentioned in section 2.35 of the city charter.
Rush will also bring forth a proposal to modify the way meetings are held and the way council members address one another and the public. Rush's proposal will allow council members to directly address one another or a citizen during work sessions. The full text of the changes can be found attached to this article.
Finally, the council is likely to approve the storm water budget amendment to allow construction to begin on Etowah River Park. Council decided to tap into the storm water budget to creatively work around cost overruns in the bidding process for construction of the park.
The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at City Hall. If you are unable to attend the meeting in person, Canton-Sixes Patch will be hosting a live stream of the proceedings.

text: I think DHB to the Lions as our #2 WR makes a lot a sense for us now. He's a pure speed receiver that will flourish in an offense with Stafford, CJ, and now Reggie Bush. He might come fairly cheap as he is not a true #1 WR anymore in a lot of NFL scouts' eyes. He could be golden for us though. He'll be really looking for a QB like Stafford, and for an offense where he can restart his career. DHB looks like a better option to me than any of these WR 's in the draft.

Hundreds of students in Tift County are learning about the importance of being drug-free.Tuesday county and city leaders gathered at 8th Street Middle School to kick off National Red Ribbon Week. Red ribbons have been placed around the community to symbolize a drug free life.Sheriff Gene Scarbrough says he hopes today's event will encourage the students to say no to drugs."You just have to reach out and let them know and work with them and let them know that they don't have to have drugs to have a successful life," said Tift County Sheriff Scarbrough. "And if they do get into the drug world, whether a user or seller or whatever, then they're doomed. They're doomed."The National Red Ribbon Campaign starts tomorrow and runs through the 31st.

"Captain Underpants & the Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers," by Dav Pilkey, published by Scholastic, was No. 7 on the SoCal Fiction bestseller list last February. The silly series appealing to little boys in elementary school tops the 2012-13 most frequently challenged list.
Banned Books Week was last week, Sept. 22-28.
The American Library Association, American Booksellers Association, American Society of Journalists and Authors and a long list of others sponsor Banned Books Week.
The Banned Books website also mentions a 2011 challenge in a Murrieta Valley high school to author John Berger's book "To the Wedding," which was assigned reading for juniors in an International Baccalaureate program. Some parents said students should not be exposed to the mature content, which includes a vulgar slang word at least three times to describe sexual relations that take place.
In 2010, the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary was temporarily pulled from Menifee Union School District after a parent complained when a child came across a term for oral sex. The district formed a committee to consider a permanent classroom ban on the dictionary, and the collegiate dictionary was ultimately returned to classrooms for advanced readers in fourth and fifth grades along with less extensive elementary dictionaries.
As Reading Rainbow mom Jenni Buchanan said, there's a difference between parental discernment and public censorship. A lot of children's classics have been challenged over the decades, even "Charlotte's Web," because talking animals are unnatural.
The most-challenged list often includes books that some kids want to read more for the very reasons some people challenged the books, like Captain Underpants, which is crude in ways little boys find funny.
A Riverside grandmother in 2003 filed a formal complaint against "The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby," an earlier installment in Pilkey's Captain Underpants series. She objected to the book's bad grammar and the superhero battling a giant piece of villainous excrement. The grandmother also was concerned students would try to imitate the disrespectful kids in the book and its potty humor. Although a Riverside Unified School District found the book crass, the majority agreed it could stay on library shelves. Supporters said the books attracted reluctant readers.
Captain Underpants wasn't something I ever wanted my son to read to his grandmother, or anything my daughter liked. It wasn't my first choice either. But when he was in early elementary school, my son loved to read the books, over and over because he thought they were funny. Maybe the appeal was knowing the books' toilet humor wasn't appropriate for polite conversations with adults.
Behind the Captain Underpants series, No. 2 on this year's list is "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian," by Sherman Alexie, for offensive language, racism, sexually explicit, unsuited for age group.
The rest of the top 10 are:
3. "Thirteen Reasons Why," by Jay Asher. Reasons: Drugs/alcohol/smoking, sexually explicit, suicide, unsuited for age group
4. "Fifty Shades of Grey," by E. L. James. Reasons: Offensive language, sexually explicit
5. "And Tango Makes Three," by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson. Reasons: Homosexuality, unsuited for age group
6. "The Kite Runner," by Khaled Hosseini. Reasons: Homosexuality, offensive language, religious viewpoint, sexually explicit.
A Jurupa Valley High School mother in 2008 objected to the book in 2008 an, calling it pornographic and inappropriate for high school students. She asked the Jurupa Unified School District to ban the book, but the district kept it. The school offered her daughter another book to read for the summer assignment, which is district policy when a parent objects to any reading assignment.
7. "Looking for Alaska," by John Green. Reasons: Offensive language, sexually explicit, unsuited for age group
8. "Scary Stories" (series), by Alvin Schwartz. Reasons: Unsuited for age group, violence
9. "The Glass Castle," by Jeanette Walls. Reasons: Offensive language, sexually explicit
10. "Beloved," by Toni Morrison. Reasons: Sexually explicit, religious viewpoint, violence
After reading them, do you think any of these books should be banned? Why?

Newmarket mom arrested after children locked out in cold
Nicole Fahey, 29, of 33 Elm St., Apt. 3, was arrested on a warrant charging her with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of possessing heroin.
The incident happened on Jan. 18 after the children, ages 6 and 10, returned home from school.
Police Chief Kevin Cyr said the children were outside crying when a neighbor saw them and called police. They were locked out of the apartment for more than hour when temperatures were about 10 degrees Fahrenheit, he said.
Officers did not locate Fahey until about 6 p.m. that evening. The drug charges were brought after officers went inside the apartment and saw heroin out in plain sight, according to Cyr.
Fahey still has custody of the children although the state Division of Children, Youth and Families is investigating, the chief said.
What's next:Fahey is to be arraigned March 5 in 10th Circuit Court, Brentwood District Division.

Whilst working on some Microsoft Exchange and ActiveSync device Powershell scripts recently, I came across a problem where I could not delete an active directory user even after the ActiveSync device had been removed.
The particular error was, "The directory service can perform the requested operation only on a leaf object."
This was because the ActiveSync device was created as a container object under the user object and to get around this, I simply looked up and removed the container using Remove-ADObject.
The following code should give you enough information to get the process going:
# Find and remove the ActiveSync device Get-ActiveSyncDevice -Organization $organization -Mailbox $mailboxName \ | Remove-ActiveSyncDevice -Confirm:$false # Remove the child objects $adUser = Get-AdUser -Identity $mailbox.DistinguishedName Get-AdObject -Filter * -SearchScope oneLevel -SearchBase $adUser.DistinguishedName \ | Remove-AdObject -Recursive -Confirm:$false # Remove the AD user Get-AdUser -Filter { EmailAddress -eq $mailbox.UserPrincipalName } \ | Remove-AdUser -Confirm:$false
For formatting, I've split the longs lines using the "\" character.

MANILA, Feb. 19 (PNA) — With the upcoming end of the timeline for the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) in 2015, a visiting member of the House of Lords from the United Kingdom on Wednesday said that climate change and its impact on the poor and the vulnerable should become part of the next development framework.
UK House of Lords member Lord Jack McConnell of Glenscorrodale is on a volunteer mission to the Philippines February 15 to 21 to support "Beyond 2015 Philippines" in advocating this position.
"Beyond 2015″ is a global civil society campaign pushing for a strong and legitimate successor framework to the MDG.
McConnell stressed that the post-2015 framework should include ensuring the protection of the environment for sustainable development.
"The key to sustainable development is the sustainability of natural resources and the safety and resilience of everyone, including development gains, from disaster risks," he said during a press briefing held at the House of Representatives in Quezon City.
"This means strengthening local capacity and environmental governance for sustainable management of resources, mitigate impact of climate change and reduce disaster risks," the visiting lawmaker added.
The Philippines, he said, is the perfect setting to jumpstart such advocacy as he noted that the country is ranked 3rd in the World Risk Index due to its vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters.
"No other proof is needed than what happened in Leyte after Typhoon 'Yolanda' hit," McConnell stressed, having visited the area over the weekend.
"Climate change and its impact, most especially to the poor and vulnerable, should be dealt with. The international community should unite and cooperate among each other to deal with this reality," he said. (PNA)

The Kansas City Chiefs held their first mandatory minicamp practice of the year on Tuesday. The Chiefs minicamp will run through Thursday, totaling three days of workouts. Here are all the rules for the Chiefs minicamp this week.
The usual folks are tweeting out good nuggets of info so keep an eye on these Twitter accounts this week: @JoshLooney, @AdamTeicher and @JoshKlingler. The Chiefs will also have video of Romeo Crennel's post-practice interviews this week.
Eric Berry excused for personal reasons
Not that it would have mattered -- Berry isn't practicing anyway. That goes for the two other ACL guys, Jamaal Charles and Tony Moeaki. Not sure what the personal problem are but this shouldn't be a concern as far as Berry's injury rehab is concerned.
Players that miss the first day of minicamp are subject to a $10,000 fine but Berry's absence was excused so I don't think he'll be hit with that.
Best of luck to whatever happened with him.
The Dwayne Bowe Show doesn't show
Again, as expected. Bowe has yet to sign his franchise tender which means he is not subject to fines for missing the mandatory minicamp. As we noted yesterday, there aren't any updates on Bowe at the moment. Chiefs GM Scott Pioli was asked on 810 WHB what his status was and he declined to comment on any specifics.
Brandon Siler hits the field
Remember him? He was supposed to compete with Jovan Belcher at inside linebacker last year but went down early in last year's training camp with an Achilles' injury. Since then, we haven't seen what he can do. He is, however, aware that players coming off of lost seasons are sometimes forgotten.
"There's not much out there to be talked about. It's my job to go out there and do what I do, and I can't do that right now, so I shouldn't be talked about. I plan on getting back out there and showing what I can do."
Siler and Belcher competing at inside linebacker was one of my eight things to watch for at the Chiefs mandatory minicamp.
Devon Wylie has a hamstring injury
He didn't practice today. Hamstrings usually aren't serious -- just need some time to rest. Hopefully that's the case with Wylie, but we won't really know because the Chiefs don't have to address injured players during the offseason.

Best entrepreneurship MBA programsHello everyone!!! I need some tips on the best entrepreneurship focused programs. Preferably in the USA, but I will also consider going over to England and Europe. I have been working in IT for a few years, but not really as a manager or anything. I think I would rather focus on entrepreneurship than stay in IT anyway. You know what I mean? Any advice for me?

Best entrepreneurship MBA programsHello Cat,
Sun Jan 25, 2009 12:24 PM
There are really a lot of MBA programs with focus on entrepreneurship in the USA - some of the best business schools offer such programs like NYU(Stern) and Duke University Fuqua School of Business.
To get a complete list, just use the advanced search tool:
If you find any specific program you like, just ask about it, and you will surely get some replays!
I Think it could be a good idea for you to do an MBA in entrepreneurship while keeping your IT Job - it can later maybe help you to start your own business!

Best entrepreneurship MBA programsInteresting List! funny to see, how according to this list, the best places to learn entrepreneurship aren't really highly Ranked schools. i am a bit concerned about this list though, and wouldn't use it as my only criteria for choosing where to do my MBA - the traditional ranking lists are still the best, safest way to asses how good is the MBA program of any given school. you can find some schools in this list that are also highly ranked though.

About that link, was interested to learn that a few good programs are right under my nose at USC, UCLA, Chapman and LMU. I think the Monterey program looks a bit too obscure, while the Dardens and Kelloggs are probably out of my league. My dream is Stanford, but honestly, I think I'm more Temple, UNC, or Wisconsin kind of material.

Best entrepreneurship MBA programsto be honest i never much understood the point of a formal entrepreneurship concentration. you can just as well focus on that in your elective year can't you? i think my concern would be finding a well-rounded and high quality school with a good entrepreneurship electives rather than a formal entrepreneurship program.

Best entrepreneurship MBA programsGood point ryan - i also think a student will benefit more from a "Normal" MBA program - After all, there is no difference between an entrepreneur and a regular manager - they both need the same basic set of tools. I also think that people wanting to start they're own business would better network with others working in established firms, and not only with other entrepreneurs!

Best entrepreneurship MBA programsThere are many good schools out there. If entrepreneurship is what you want to go for, do it. Those schools that have the best rating for this, probably have earned it. Although the many good schools, that keep their majors and emphasis a little more traditional and general are also a good point. One thing that should not be overlooked as subject experts. Generally entrepreneurship programs are going to have professors that have great personal expereince on the subject. Otherwise you may get a walking textbook, a teacher that only has knowledge based off of others knowledge. Which may not be the best thing if you are trying to get a real education, which is supplemented by the instructor's personal expereinces.
Fri Mar 06, 2009 12:17 AM
If you are really looking to find the best school for yourself, and have a pretty good idea of what kind of business you want to start, that is the first step. I would suggest visiting the school's that you are interested in, and viewing their entrepreneurship program curiculum. You should be able to get the names of the instructors teaching those specific courses, than you can go read their bio's. Perhaps even send them an email to ask some questions.

Speaking of schools not on the lists above, be sure to take a look at George Washington University. GW has a revised program, built a brand new state of the art Business School Building, and has an amazing career development department. It also has a lot to offer in entrepreneurship (take a look at the core class and the entrepreneurship knowledge domain).
Take a look here:
Porb a program to watch and will move up in the rankings fast...

Best entrepreneurship MBA programsI'm nearly finished with the Entrepreneurship MBA program at the University of Louisville (ranked #16 by Entrepreneur and Princeton Review) and the program is MUCH different than a regular MBA. All courses discuss the start-up perspective as well as the corporate perspective for that discipline. It focuses more on staying ahead of your competition and understanding the trends of your industry more than a regular MBA program would.
Thu Oct 08, 2009 07:22 PM
Also, the national business plan competitions are often only a benefit for those in the entrepreneurship programs. While we offer entrepreneurial electives for our regular MBA programs, it's just not the same if you have the intention of launching your own business someday.
If you're still looking, I would check out UofL's program at www.business.louisville.edu/mba.

Best entrepreneurship MBA programsMy experience has been tremendous and several of the professors for the Entrepreneurship PhD also teach in the MBA program. I'd recommend contacting the program director, Dr. David Dubofsky and ask to speak with some current PhD students to get a true feel for the program.

In case you weren't convinced that life isn't fair, a new–er, "new"–study shows that attractive people make more money. Because of course they do.
The study says that women with above-average looks take home about eight percent more cash than plain Janes and bridge trolls. But what's scary is how much having below-average looks can actually hinder one's career.
But there's a bright side: Women actually aren't quite as affected. Men who are considered to have below-average looks net an average of 14 percent less take-home pay, while women face only about four percent less. Which still sucks, but could be worse.
The phenomenon is said to start as early as high school: More attractive students get higher grades and are more likely to graduate and go to college than their beastly peers and were seen as more promising in general. This elevates students' confidence, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy that leads to success.
Of course, there's more to life than looks, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyway. Still, some lip gloss can't hurt. And for the record, creeps on the subway? They think I'm promising.

Memphis Concludes Day One of Tyson Invite
Feb. 15, 2008
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The University of Memphis men's and women's track and field teams wrapped up day one of the Tyson Invitational. In the highly competitive meet, the Tigers received quality performances on the first day of competition.
Amaechi Oselukwue was involved in the hurdles action as he competed in the 60-meter hurdles, knocking down a time of 8.27. In the men's 60-meter dash Frashod Barlow crossed the line in 6.93.
Memphis had three marks in the men's shot put as Glen Edwards led the way with a mark of 16.85 meters (55-03.50) placing sixth. Knut Syversen had a throw of 15.37 meters (50-05.25) and Seth Major finished with a mark of 14.91 meters (48-11.00).
Tina Sherratt was stellar in the mile run, as she completed the event in a time of 4:59.98, placing tenth. The time is a personal best of the season for Sherratt and it is just three seconds shy of her school record.
In the 400-meters, Jessica Wright ran a personal best time of 57.67. Teammate LaShundra Kershaw competed in the 60-meter dash, crossing the line in a time of 7.67.

Hey guys,
This is my first time on here, and I would just like to say thanks for making me a part of the community, and a lot of the stuff that is posted on here is great, and very in-depth.
I just thought I'd ask your opinion on a simple question, make your answer as detailed or as short as you want:
Historically, who would you compare Matt Kemp to? Taking into account height, weight, stats, "5-toolness" etc.

Hello all, Two of my buddies and myself will be visiting Europe in March. London 14-16th, Dublin 16-18th, Amsterdam 18-21st, Prague 21st-24th, and Paris 24th-28th.
I'd love to find a few locals throughout our trip to share a drink with and get a local feel of the cities we're traveling to. I'd be happy to buy you a drink at a local watering hole. Just looking to experience every city at it's best with the little time we're spending in each place. We're in our mid to late 20's, the 3 of us are male and just looking for a memorable trip. I have all of our hostels and apartments book and I'm not look for a place to stay or anything like that. Drop me a line if you think there are any must sees I need to see that I may have over looked. Or if you want to grab a drink while I'm in you city drop me a line for that too.
Already planning on making a trip to Kutna Hora to see the Bone Church. I've rented an apartment within walking distance of Charles bridge. Plan on checking out the normal tourist stuff. What else should I be looking to check out?
I should add I'd be happy to return the favor if you're every Florida, United States or close to it.
