High ceilings and white-washed brick walls, bar and tables constructed of vintage French wine crates are the backdrop for a highly acclaimed list featuring more than 40 French wines, matched by an equally extensive and innovative seasonal menu overseen by Paul Bocuse & Daniel Boulud alum, Executive Chef, Kfir Ben Ari. As warm, welcoming and inviting as Paradou is, it is OUR HIDDEN, YEAR-ROUND GARDEN that makes it a true refuge in NYC. Possessing one of the most unique outdoor, all-season spaces, Paradou offers a wonderful setting for gatherings, whether an intimate dinner for two or large parties up to 100, in a private corner of idyllic Provençe in the heart of New York.Continued

- birthday brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/23/2014I went last Sunday for brunch we were late for our reservation and the hostess was so incredibly rude. But the scene is amazing and the food was really good !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Took my sister here for her birthday dinnerParaPleaseDouDined on 11/15/2014Layout: - This place will fool you from the street. It is tiny up front with a few tables, but in the back it opens up into a roomie, covered, courtyard. Ambiance: - The ambiance is nice, but they could improve on their music selection. I would have given it 4 stars if they didn't play techno/discotheque music or have Pandora commercials. Food: - The food was really good! - The Amish Bacon Crack was amazing: Salty-sweet and crispy-crunchy with a little bit of spicy. - The Cheese plate was a well paired assortment accompanied with jams and jellies. You will ask for more bread. - The Tuna Tar Tar was delicious: A mound of succulent raw tuna on top of a dollop of "special sauce" garnished with arugula and fish roe. This was the best appetizer in my opinion! - I ordered the Steak and it was so tender and juicy and cooked perfectly! The sauce it came with was magical (some sort of cheese/wine/butter reduction). - The other people in my party ordered the Seared Tuna Salad which was very tasty. And the Fish of the day and Ratatouille. All of which were very good. The fish was crispy and moist while the ratatouille was ok at best. - Dessert was a bit disappointing. The Creme Brule was a bit cold and the chocolate cake was WAY too hot! Go figure. - The unlimited wine was a great deal! Granted it is their house wine, but for $20 per person, you can't pass it up! Service: - Our waiter was a bit spacy, but he got EVERYTHING right! Only once were we really "looking for him" to get our bill. All of the food went to the right seats and came out at the same time. I gave him a good tip. Conclusion: - I really liked this place. Their Ambiance could use some work, but all in all a good experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food, Dull AtmosphereBradford23VIPDined on 11/12/2014Perhaps the little bar area is cool with friends, but the dining room was boring, shabby, and sort of dingy. This was disappointing as the food was actually good. The Rohan Duck was fantastic as were the uniquely square Tater Tots. The oysters were fresh as well. The wine selection was perfectly French. Service seemed uninterested and bored. Wish the place had more of an atmosphere.
- Soooo good!!!QualityFrugalityVIPDined on 11/7/2014We had been there a few years ago and at the last-minute, ended up going here. Interesting menu, fun wait staff, unlimited house wine! What more could you want?! Had a wonderful meal and will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Paradon'tCusina212Dined on 11/1/2014Extremely disappointing on every level. Slow service, wrong entree, no milk with coffee, loud obnoxious crowd.
- We were the only dinersdineouthhDined on 9/2/2014For some reason, the restaurant was completely empty and during the time we had dinner and desert nobody else dined at this restaurant. It was a bit disconcerting and felt very weird. The food was very good, though..Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/23/2014terrible, terrible service. waiter took 40 minutes to take our drink order. 1 person in our party of 6 did not get her meal. 20% tip added by the restaurant for service because we were a party of 6. unless you're coming for the unlimited drinks, don't bother.
- The following 635 reviews are from the Paradou reviews archive.
- Good placeNurysDined on 7/29/2014This place has good food, good ambiance. I would have given them five stars, but we specifically went there for their foie gras, only to find out it was removed from the menu three months ago even though their online dinner menu still states it is available. That was really disappointing. Overall, a good experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/26/2014It took about an hour and 45 minutes to get our main course. Two people in our party of 6 sent their meal back because one was cold and the other dish was not eatable. The kitchen clearly is poorly run. Everyone in the place seemed to be waiting a long time for food or drink. The information about the menu on-line was not accurate. We were looking forward to a good meal and were very it was not good.
- Deliciousangela1112Dined on 7/26/2014Food was delicious, service was great. Will be coming back for more!Special Features:
- Horrible service and drinksOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/13/2014Ordered drinks after being asked 10 times if we wanted the champagne cocktail. 2 of the 4 of us ordered the same drink before he ran away to get us a whole pitcher and then didn't take anyone else's order. We were then stuck with a whole pitcher of the worst tasting Bellini ever, having to finish it before being able to get another. All I could taste was cheap champagne and which surely wasn't champagne. Not worth $30 bottomless offer, especially when the meal I had was more like an appetizer than entree. God forbid if I had to pay the price they had listed on the menu-$40 for a champagne pitcher, are they kidding? Needless to say I will not be returning and advise even those contemplating a visit to steer clear.
- We left before orderingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/13/2014We were 4 people for brunch but left due to several factors. First, diners should know that the back garden is covered. It was very hot, without the benefit of actual blue sky and fresh air, and was very noisy despite being only 1/3 full. Through no fault of the restaurant, we happened to be seated next to a disruptive patron. But when we requested to be moved I was surprised at the push-back I received from the host: "all our tables are reserved," "we would not be able to move you without a lot of trouble." Um, we were a table of 4 and had not even received coffees yet. There are more gracious restaurants in the neighborhood. I will not be returning. (I didn't eat anything but OpenTable would not accept a review without a Food rating.)
- AMSJVIPDined on 7/5/2014This was probably my fifth and last time to Paradou. Previously my experiences were very nice, great atmosphere, the patio is very cute and the staff was very nice. This time, it is clear that the restaurant has decreased in quality significantly. They shifted from a cool, vibrant experience to a trashy, way too packed, extremely noisy and poor service experience. The food has also significantly worsened. I used to really recommend this place, but now would never visit again. The host was very disrespectful at the end of the night.
- Brunch July 4thChi1Dined on 7/4/2014I attended brunch with a group of girls. The seating was outdoors under a canopy like setting, and was "compact" to say the least. The brunch deal sounded good, just $29 with an entree and unlimited champagne cocktails. But that's about where the fun ended. The service was extremely poor considering it took our waiter several requests until we received our drinks. When we asked for a refill, he told us they had no more glass jars to pour the champagne in, which made no sense! We had to finish what we had first and then were given our refills, one of which was what we did not order. As for the food it was good, just wish we had gotten more after waiting about an hour for an omelet! Overall too noisy and barely any music playing, Odd.Special Features:
- Service and food has taken a diveNYerVIPDined on 6/21/2014Three different food temps on the same plate. Ordered the steak and it came out cold, the Brussels sprouts were luke warm, while the potato tots were super hot (clearly microwaved.) Would've sent it back but didn't want them to nuke my steak and we were pressed for time. Service was lackluster--had to ask for bread three times before it finally arrived and we were never asked if we wanted any more drinks. Not what I remembered from the last three times I was here at all!
- Worst serviceslc4VIPDined on 6/15/2014This was quite possibly the worst service experience I've encountered. We made reservations weeks in advance, and yet when we arrived at the restaurant we weren't seated for at least 20 minutes. I could understand if the tables were full and needed to be cleared, BUT when the hostess took us to our table, there were numerous empty tables. We were a party of 3, and we were given a 2 top table to squeeze into...while another 2 top sat empty next to us. We were assured that we could have the other table once the table next to that one left, however that party remained at their table the entire time we were there. Yet we still couldn't move over. The server wasn't attentive at all and never came back to ask if we needed anything. Awful!Special Features:
- First TimersJCMLDined on 5/29/2014After reading many negative reviews my wife still decided to try this New York bistro mostly due to its location to the end of the Hi Line and its foie gras menu. Location great, foie gras menu no longer served. We sat by the bar as the back dining room was set for a large party (that did not start arriving until we had completed our dinner). The positives, our food was very good and our waiter was quite attentive. The unlimited set price wine was attractive but the red was lacking, the white quite drinkable. Would not return.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/26/2014Thus spot is a regular brunch one for us We love the food and the ambience Quality without pretention Reservation was handled accurately and efficientlySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Changed....OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 5/17/2014I have been going to Paradou for over 8 years and sadly the past couple of visits my fav brunch spot has changed. What used to be a lively brunch spot with great food and service - has now changed into an underage day "nightclub" with terrible service. Hope this is just a phase!Special Features:
- What's happened to ParadouSaraVIPDined on 5/15/2014Been going for years but not for about 10 months = hugely disappointed. Short and dull menu, piped loud 80s music, no French staff. All the "je ne sais quoi" has disappeared. Thurs night at 9pm used to be packed but this time hardly any tables taken. Won't be going again. What a shame.
- mothers day boozy brunchARoses8Dined on 5/11/2014Great outdoor patio garden area for a mothers day boozy brunch! My family had the best time and it was beautiful to walk the highline after a delicious brunch. Also, I should mention the Mango and Lychee flavored mimosas mmmmSpecial Features:
- Good food, Bad experience, Noisy!!twoplusoneVIPDined on 5/4/20141. They didn't have coffee. On a Sunday brunch! I don't care that the machine broke down, find an alternative coffee for your morning customers, even if it means buying large coffee containers from Starbucks. 2. I was told that they ran out of the Foie Gras dish that I ordered (we were among the first customers there that day!). 3. We bought the all you can drink Champagne brunch, and the strawberry drink we received was terrible. Luckily, I ordered a different drink, so when I reminded that to the waitress she took the glass she poured me, and poured it back into the carafe that the others were supposed to drink out of. After I already took a sip. WTF? The Pro - 3 out of 4 dishes we ordered were really good! The duck reuben is amazing.Special Features:
- A used to be greatToddBrooklynVIPDined on 5/2/2014I remember when Paradou was a gem! It was a great small restaurant that if you love pate and French food you would have a wonderful meal now not so much - unprofessional and rude manager almost one hour between starter and main course and the steak came cold - not even warm - but cold with a pepper sauce that had just been poured from the refrigerator - would not reccomend at all - bring back the old chef and there should be a manager that can handle the restaurant without being so flustered and rude
- Only go for the foodFoodie4twoDined on 4/27/2014The food is very good however the staff is horrible. They are rude and do not take your order correctly and then proceed to not give you the correct order.Special Features:
- Go for the foie gras.SteveVIPDined on 4/19/2014'Found this place while visiting the city on a search for restaurants serving foie gras. They offer a tasting menu of foie gras prepared several ways, which was excellent. But, we had to ask for the foie gras menu - it was not offered to us with their regular menus. The steak was good as well. A couple having dinner next to us who had been there several times before was surprised to know they even serve foie gras, as the menu had not been offered to them on any previous visit. On the negative side, if you're looking to be coddled by the staff, this place is not for you. They staff is not unfriendly, but they don't make much effort to make you feel welcome. They place was quite crowded, so the service can be slow.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- foie grascrazybichonVIPDined on 4/11/2014the best thing here is the wide selection and preparations of foie gras. it is usually offered 5 different ways and all are delicious. also for brunch there are lots of fruity champagne cocktailsSpecial Features:
- Wonderful Sunday Brunchdondada48Dined on 4/6/2014The staff was very nice and social. I did the bottomless mimosa special and they kept the drinks flowing while keeping us entertained with great conversation. The food was also really delicious and there was not a long wait. Would absolutely go here again.Special Features:
- Food was great! UnlimitedJasminex3Dined on 3/23/2014Food was great! Unlimited champagne cocktails are a great deal. Sooooo worth it for the price. Will def be back there again. A little but on the smaller said so reservation is a MUSTSpecial Features:
- first glass of wine was offOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 3/20/2014first glass of wine was off and the waiter didn't seem very surprised. Things went downhill from there -- the food was lackluster, especially the charcuterie which is pretty hard to mess up. Decor was seedy and so were the bathrooms. How does this restaurant survive in such a busy area?
- Yummy brunch and cute atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/9/2014Cute atmosphere... if you are lucky enough to sit in the back in the tent! I have been three times for brunch and only the 1st time was able to sit back there. The other two times they sat us at a tiny table in the front of the restaurant near the door, so it's a little squished and chilly but after a few mimosas you start to notice less. I'm not sure I'll return again though unless I can get a table in the back, which they say they normally reserve for big groups. Besides that, their mimosa flavor list is exceptional, and they bring a whole carafe to your table to enjoy. The food is very yummy (definitely recommend the french toast and hash brown appetizer!)Special Features:
- Worst serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 3/1/2014Smelled like bleach the entire night They did not turn the music on in the back for almost an hour once we were seated. Our server barely spoke to us, we had a few appetizers drinks and a bottle of wine. I had the foi gras as my main dinner course and had to ask for the tastes bread twice that the dish came with. We were done with our main dinner for 35 minutes before we could finally get the servers attention(the restaurant was not that busy) we were so frustrated with the service that we did not stay for after dinner drinks or the desert. Even though the entire time we had planned on having the crapes. Patrons that came after us were done before us. Will never go back and will not recommend to any friends after this poor experience.Special Features:
- Brunch food is of the best I've hadvisitor88Dined on 2/22/2014Also great selection of champagne cocktails. Great value for money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Freezing cold inside withrocksaltDined on 2/14/2014Freezing cold inside with no solutions, almost no ambiance, pretty bad for a meat packing district restaurant. No cocktails - only wine and beer, very mediocre prefix for Valentines day 2014. Staff is courteous and service is good.
- It was alrightvalentinedinerDined on 2/14/2014This was my girlfriend and my first Valentine's day together. It was....alright. To be honest, for the price of the dinner, I was a little disappointed. We ordered from the evening's PrixFixe menu, with the added cheese course, and a bottle of wine. First, we were forced to sit in the outer area - not very comfy. It felt cramped and there was a cold draft blowing in. When I asked to be seated in the back dining area the hostess refused. I don't think I will be returning next year.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely NightOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 2/1/2014Paradou is a friendly and cozy spot hidden among larger pretentious literal and figurative "Meatpacking" restaurants. Myself and four friends enjoyed beautifully presented and delicious food, conversation, good wine, very pleasant service in a relaxed setting. I love this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unbeatable Brunch & Cocktails!ABCReviewsDined on 1/26/2014I am never disappointed when dining here for brunch. If you prefer a quieter (not quiet) brunch ask for a table in the front. If your party is extending to the morning, then a seat in the back is perfect for you!Special Features:
- Birthday Brunch disappointmentLY9087Dined on 1/4/2014This was my birthday brunch and I knew I wanted an "boozy brunch spot". I made the reservation for 4 people at 3:30pm, which was easy to get. We showed up only to wait for 35 minutes in a VERY small walkway located in the middle of ALL the front tables and bar (which shouldn't be there). They told us they couldn't get the table before us out but the brunch is limited to 2 hours. Once seated by the very nice hostess, our table was smack in the middle of the very tight back room space. It was so loud and so HOT . They heaters were blasting and though it was winter, it felt more like summer! On top of that the music was random and old, aka bad. The food was decent but nothing exciting. I wouldn't recommend this spot if you have standards.Special Features:
- Eh, Ok. Music is great!visitingNYCDined on 1/4/2014I was underwhelmed by my Saturday brunch experience here. My boyfriend and I went solely for the $30 unlimited mimosa brunch, which included an entree. I ordered the smoked salmon withe eggs and he ordered the burger. Both entrees were mediocre at best and there really wasn't a cool ambiance. The main dining area is an outdoor area that is covered by a tent (don't worry it stays warm in the winter). By 2pm it was pretty crowded. There was nothing particularly memorable about the ambiance except the music. The music is hands down the best thing about this place!They play recent r&b mixed with top 40s and a little house.Special Features:
- Noisy, but delicious foodBeckyDined on 12/21/2013Be sure to ask someone to sit in the front room, not the back room. They blasted the music and my friend and I couldn't hear each other! However. The food was so delicious. And the drinks were fantastic. Super fun brunch place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cramped and loudjonathanjoDined on 11/17/2013Went here for relaxing brunch on Sunday. I should have read the reviews more carefully Tables are so close together and it Is so it makes your ears ring. It's full of twenty-somethings shouting at each other. It's a pity because the food is excellent with good value wines to match. Service is friendly too. But I guess it's just not meant to be a place for people like me!Special Features:

AP Sports Writer
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- When Louisville's Shoni Schimmel whipped a no-look, behind-the-back bounce pass to younger sister Jude for a fast-break layup in the women's Final Four, former WNBA player Ryneldi Becenti was on a Native American reservation watching on TV -- and grinning at the sight of a free-wheeling style of basketball she knows quite well.
"It's funny," said Becenti, a former Arizona State star in the 1990s who played a season for the Phoenix Mercury and then professionally in Europe. "You can see the 'rez ball' in them. ... She threw it behind the back, already knew where her sister was, and they don't hesitate to do it."
Louisville's string of upsets in the NCAA tournament -- they've knocked off Baylor, Tennessee and California in succession -- has been followed closely by Native Americans nationwide because of the captivating play of the Schimmel sisters, who grew up on a reservation in Oregon.
The sisters are getting a lot of mainstream attention now, and relishing it because it helps them promote the idea that there are great young athletes on reservations around the country who deserve a look.
In a sense, they aim to be female versions of Boston Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, and follow in the footsteps of legendary Native American athlete Jim Thorpe, an Olympic gold medalist and football player in the early 1900s.
On Monday, the eve of Louisville's national title showdown with Connecticut, Shoni Schimmel noted that her mother brought her and her siblings up on stories about Thorpe, and that her older brother made Thorpe the subject of a school presentation.
"One thing that my mom has talked to me about is, you have to go out there and show that you can come off a reservation and you can make it," Schimmel said. "Not a lot of people believe in Native Americans because they just get so comfortable with living on the reservation, because it is very comfortable. We love it there. It's always nice to be there. But at the same time, you have to get out of your comfort zone."
As their reputations have grown, the Schimmel sisters have met fellow Native Americans at games far and wide. Sometimes, their fans have driven hours to see them play, hoping to meet them. They're rarely disappointed.
The sisters chat with fans after games whenever they can, and recalled two such instances this season at DePaul and Syracuse.
"We know how much they drove," Shoni Schimmel said. "We know how exciting it is for them, but it's also an honor and a privilege for us."
The whole family is in New Orleans for the Final Four, and during the tournament they have become magnets for fans with Native American backgrounds.
"They figure out where we're sitting and come and see us, take pictures and talk," said the sisters' mother, Ceci, adding that some fans she's met traveled from Mississippi, Oklahoma, Montana and Canada.
The tournament has been an eventful one for the family. Ceci and Rick Schimmel, who've been together more than two decades and have eight children between the ages of 24 and 3, vowed to finally get married if Louisville shocked Baylor in the Oklahoma Region semifinals, which they did, thanks in part of the sisters combining for seven 3s.
The marriage occurred in Oklahoma City while the sisters were at practice the day before they beat Tennessee, but they've seen a video of it.
"It didn't seem realistic," Shoni Schimmel said. "It kind of seemed like something you're just watching like, 'Oh, that's cute.' But it's like, 'Oh, that's our parents.'"
Jude said she and Shoni were thrilled that their stellar play led directly to the marriage given how much time their parents had devoted to help them succeed in basketball.
Basketball is wildly popular on reservations.
The Schimmels grew up on the Umatilla reservation until about five years ago, when the family moved to an Oregon community nearby.
But while the sisters left the comfort of the reservation, they did not leave behind the artistic style of play with which they felt comfortable.
Shoni Schimmel will take -- and make -- shots from all over the court that sometimes look ad-libbed, including well behind the 3-point line. She developed her range in the family drive way, sometimes so late at night that her parents urged her to stop so the sound of the bouncing ball wouldn't annoy neighbors.
But the "rez ball" comes out more when the sisters are on the court together.

Parent involvement
Solid, Sound, Catholic high school and a rallying point for the Mobile Catholic community. Excellent extra-curricular programs, too, including a good athletic program and excellent fine arts and choral program. Dedicated faculty, staff and administration--all with long average tenures on the job, which speaks well of school culture. Among Mobile's private schools, it's by far the best value for the money.
I went to Mcgill my freshmen year. Although I didn't stay the full year because I switched to murphy(i don't go there anymore either), I really regret ever leaving in the first place! Mcgill's teachers are some of the best of the best, especially in math and science. You can tell in class that if you don't understand something, teachers will go out of their way to help you and make sure you do until you get it right. They all have amazing teaching methods. Mcgill has great Arts programs as well, Theatre & Drama is amazing. Sports are a big part of Mcgill having won numerous championships and titles in every sport. Mcgill also is great with the faith and church aspect. We would have mass almost every week, and each year you take religion as apart of the curriculum, so you really learn about religion and Jesus etc, etc. But overall Mcgill is a great school and if anyone asked me about schools in Mobile to go to, I'd tell them Mcgill-Toolen!
Mcgill Toolen is a grat school the kids grow in their faith. I have never herd a kid that goes to mcgill toolen say they did not like it.
I love it because everyone there is nice and smart
My children have benefitted immensely from the qualified, compassionate, and dedicated faculty and staff at McGill-Toolen. They have been challenged and encouraged every step of the way. It has been a positive learning environment and has reinforced the moral and social values we instill in our home.

The Speaker, House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, has described as 'unfortunate' the death of some Nigerians on Saturday at recruitment centres of the Nigeria Immigration Service.
This is contained in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam on Sunday in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria, reports that some applicants died at some of the recruitment centres as a result of stampede.
According to the speaker, the death of the innocent youths was sorrowful and regrettable.
He said it was more regrettable considering the fact that they were at the screening centres in search of jobs that would better their lots and that of their loved ones.
Tambuwal urged the authorities concerned to investigate the remote and immediate causes of the tragedy, and advised them to map out strategies to prevent future occurrence.
He urged governments at all levels to work closely with the Organised Private Sector to tackle the unemployment problem facing the nation.
The speaker condoled with the families of those who lost their loved ones, and prayed for quick recovery of injured ones.

About Tracey Smith
Owned by two best friends, Holly Slinkard and Tracey Smith. We purchased our main property McKinley Creekside Cabins & Cafe in 1997 and the 'Carlo House' and 'Carlo Guest Cabin' in 2009. Both of us being avid travelers ourselves, our goal was to create a place 'Where guests become friends'. We found in our travels that the best experiences, had more to do with the people we met and friends made on the journey.
We both live in Alaska year round. Holly spends 8 months in Denali and the remainder in Anchorage and traveling the world in the off season. Tracey lives in Palmer with her husband and son.
We are most thankful to the Lord above, all our guests and crew members for making this life possible in such an amazing place.
We know you will enjoy your time at the 'Carlo Guest Cabin' and Denali National Park, truly an amazing place!
Tracey Smith purchased this cabin in 2009
Why Tracey Smith chose Denali
Denali is an amazing place where you can explore the park and surrounding areas for a lifetime and never see it all...the New 'Carlo Guest Cabin' provides a great location that is close to the park but away from the crowed entrance. It has all the comforts and amenities of home and can accommodate up to 6 people. Nestled in the woods with amazing panoramic mountain views and all the comforts of home!
What makes this cabin unique
Just 13 miles or 15 minutes south of Denali National Park. The 'Carlo Guest Cabin' has all the comforts of home in a cozy cabin setting. Located on 3+ wooded acres next to the 'Carlo House'. In the summer enjoy hiking trails out your back door, biking, horse shoes, campfires and close to all the park and area activities. Amazing Northern Lights viewing August thru September. Book this cabin by itself or along with the Carlo House-great for large families and groups.

Fergie rage at horror tackle
Alex Ferguson slammed Emanuel Pogatetz for his horror tackle on Rodrigo Possebon. Middlesbrough captain Pogatetz was sent off after his horror lunge left Possebon with blood running from his right leg and needing oxygen in this Carling Cup clash. Manchester United boss Fergie said: "It was a terrible tackle. I have seen a replay of it and I don't want to see it again." Possebon, 19, had to be strapped to a stretcher and taken to hospital after the incident in the 65th minute of Manchester United's 3-1 win over Boro at Old Trafford.
Neil Custis, The Sun
The other post-match talking point in the tabloids is Cristiano Ronaldo scoring on his first start this season - "Hot Ron's right back in the groove" (Daily Star). Meanwhile The Sun runs quotes on Ronaldo's future from Sir Alex's column in United Review.
Away from the Carling Cup, the big story is the fall-out from Carlos Tevez's time at West Ham in 2006/07. An independent commission has ruled that Tevez's ineligibility to play means the Hammers, who stayed up, owe compensation to Sheffield United, who went down. The latter are claiming £30m - the exact figure will be determined by a later tribunal.

The average engagement of Facebook fans is just 2 percent, yet some companies maintain an engagement rate that is nearly 100 percent. How? They do this by consistently creating content that engages their fans and makes their fans want to share this content with their friends. If your business needs to engage more of its target audience on Facebook, there are three important things you can do to get your brand noticed:
1. Offer Incentives For People To Like Your Company
Facebook users expect something in return for liking or being a fan of a company. To build an initial base of fans, have contests, coupons or giveaways which are restricted to people who like your company. Instead of posting a coupon on your company's website, post a link to like your company on Facebook in order for the person to get the coupon. The coupon should be worthwhile so people will suggest their friends also like your company in order to take advantage of the coupon.
2. Talk To Your Fans
While this may seem obvious, many companies on Facebook treat their page as another website page. A Facebook page is not a static website page; it is social media and your fans expect interaction. Encourage questions about your industry in general and questions and comments about your products. Make sure any questions or comments are answered as soon as possible. This strategy work best when one person at a company takes the lead answering questions and representing your company.
3. Make Your Company Appear Friendly And Approachable
Social media users like to know there are real people behind a company. Post videos of your company picnic, show photos employees at work, or make a video showing your employees using your product. If you have a manufacturing process that is a mystery to most people, make a video showing how your product is made. Make your photos and videos so interesting that your fans will feel compelled to share it with their friends.
Remember, social media users are more likely to engage with your company and share your content with friends if they feel like like they are interacting real human beings, not a faceless company. Facebook engagement should be more about connecting with your customers than marketing to them. Once people are familiar with your company and your brand, your company won't need to market to your Facebook audience, the people who like your company will market your brand for you.

AHE (AVID HIGHER ED) is designed specifically to meet the needs of students attending a college or university. AHE resources systemically address the goals of increased learning, persistence, completion and success in and beyond college. AVID assists higher education professionals in analyzing existing student support initiatives and data, identifying barriers and needs, and establishing and assessing student learning outcomes. By supporting faculty and administrators in their effort to increase student engagement, AVID also supports students in their efforts to earn a college degree and/or certificate. When implemented with fidelity, AVID impacts the expectations and behaviors of postsecondary students, faculty, and administrators through research-driven and ongoing professional learning.
AHE consists of three initiatives: Student Success, Teacher Preparation, and Career and Technical Education. These initiatives act as a holistic, integrated, college success system designed for students with the determination to succeed and for campuses and teacher education programs committed to promoting student success. In keeping with AVID's philosophy, AHE is founded on the proposition that college students who have the will to succeed will succeed—if they are challenged and given the academic and psychosocial support needed to meet that challenge.
The Student Success Initiative (SSI) builds on AVID Secondary's more than 30-year successful track record of effectively promoting college access and preparedness. With the SSI, AVID now spans both sides of the secondary-postsecondary bridge, extending its historic mission of promoting college readiness to include college success.
The Teacher Preparation Initiative (TPI) provides teacher candidates a deep understanding of, and practical experience with, AVID methodologies and meeting their students' needs, bringing the AVID system full circle as these teacher candidates leave the universities prepared to teach in a manner that allows all students to be college-ready.
The Career/Technical Education Initiative collaborates with colleges to increase student persistence and completion of degree and certificate programs resulting in graduates who are fully prepared to be successful in the workplace.
For additional information about AVID for Higher Education, please contact us at email@example.com

ASICS get into the Christmas spirit by gifting the globe with a new 'Christmas Pack' of three classic silhouettes in very festive flavours. No prizes for guessing whose jolly spirit is embodied by the red suede Gel Lyte III, but his little elf helpers also get their own tribute sneaker with a green, red and white leather GT-II – all that hard labour with little hands is finally paying off. The tan suede Gel Saga takes a little bit more detective work, but word is it's repping Rudolph, with the red outsole curling up at the toe to glow full-frontal like Rudy's red nose. These special prezzies should be landing by sleigh at afew in late November.
One Response to "ASICS CHRISTMAS PACK"
It is almost impossible to get a hand on Asics Gel Lyte III in Tokyo. If anyone knows to find those in Japan, you'll make me a happier man.

World Bank stand against graft reiterated
The President of the World Bank (WB) Group, Jim Yong Kim, has strongly reiterated the Bank's commitment to pursue anti-corruption efforts.
In an address to a gathering at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington last Wednesday, he noted the WB has played an important role in the evolution of the global integrity and good governance agenda ever since Jim Wolfensohn's "Cancer of Corruption" speech at the Bank's annual meeting in 1996.
"For me, Jim's original words resonate every bit as strongly today as when they were first uttered 16 years ago", Mr. Kim said.
He said "when corruption is discovered in our projects and activities, we have zero tolerance for it within the World Bank Group."
Mentioning the developments over the Padma Bridge project in his speech on anti-corruption at the CSIS, the WB president said, "sometimes things go wrong and then we need to stand firm."
"This is what happened in the case of the Padma Bridge Project where insufficient response by the authorities to the evidence of corruption at the time made us terminate a $1.2 billion credit in June last year," he noted.
