Historical Highlights
The Michigan Women's Studies Association, an academic-professional
organization, was founded in 1973 on the campus of Michigan State
University. Their goal was to change what is thought and taught about
women's role in history, particularly Michigan women, in our public
schools and at the college level.
In February of 1976, anticipating the need for a broadening role and
mission in community education, MWSA was formally reconstituted as a
non-profit corporation and granted 501(c)3 tax exempt status thereafter.
In 1980, following almost a year of planning, MWSA acquired a lease
on the Cooley-Haze House from the City of Lansing on the condition that
the building be brought up to code and be fully renovated for adaptive
use as the site of the Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of
By February of 1986, approximately $180,000 had been raised in
building funds and work began in the summer of 1986 on the renovation.
The Center was dedicated and opened to the public on June 10, 1987,
the anniversary date of the Michigan ratification of the Women's Suffrage
Amendment. Since the opening, we have encouraged the city of Lansing's
efforts to restore the Cooley Gardens, and we are now surrounded by a
beautiful garden and picnic area.
The Michigan Women's Historical Center and
Hall of Fame displays cultural and historical
exhibits on the accomplishments and achievements of Michigan women.
The Center is also home of the Belen Gallery in which the work of
Michigan artists and photographers is shown. The
Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of Fame has drawn
encouragement and support from across the state. Benefits have been
organized and support groups formed in a number of different
communities, including Escanaba and Marquette in the Upper Peninsula,
Muskegon, Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo in the western reaches of the
state, and in Saginaw, Grosse Pointe, Birmingham and Detroit as well as
In October of 1983, the First Annual Awards Dinner for the new
Michigan Women's Hall of Fame was held in Dearborn at the Fairlane
Manor. This event was attended by over 700 friends and supporters, men
as well as women, and of all different race and origin. Participating in
the program in honor of the distinguished Michigan women who were
inducted into the Hall of Fame that evening were such state leaders as
Secretary of State Richard Austin, former Governor George Romney, First
Lady Paula Blanchard, Chief Justice G. Mennen Williams and Justice James
H. Brickley of the Michigan Supreme Court, the Honorable Wade McCree,
Jr., former Solicitor General Fishman, and others equally prominent. The
success of this first evening of awards was subsequently repeated in
February of 1985, also in Dearborn, and each year thereafter alternating
between Southeast Michigan and Lansing. The Michigan Women's Hall of
Fame Gallery currently displays over 200 distinguished women including
Rosa Parks, Helen Milliken, Betty Ford, Patricia Hill Burnett, Lily
Tomlin, Gilda Radner, Dorothy Comstock Riley, Mother Waddles, Sippie
Wallace, Jean "The Queen" Steinberg, Helen Thomas,and former Lieutetnant
Governor Connie Binsfeld, Senator Debbie Stabenow,
Aretha Franklin, and Governor Jennifer Granholm, who have been inducted since
Organizations, businesses and private foundations have also
contributed greatly to the current development program. Among the major
contributors have been the Michigan Education Association, the Michigan
Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the United
Automobile Workers, the Michigan Division of the American Association of
University Women, the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan, the Women's
Coordinating Committee of Grand Rapids, the Junior League of Lansing,
and the Tri-City (Saginaw, Midland and Bay City) Friends of the Michigan
Women's Hall of Fame. The Kmart Corporation, the Ford Motor Company, the
General Motors Corporation, and the Automobile Club of Michigan, along
with other major corporations, have been equally supportive.
The Gannett Newspaper Foundation, the Greater Lansing Foundation, and
the Ford Motor Company Fund have also made major contributions to the
project. In addition, the project has received special grant funding
from the Board of Commissioners of Ingham County, the State of Michigan,
The Michigan Humanities Council and the City of Lansing, the latter
having made a trust fund amounting to in excess of sixty thousand
dollars available for building renovation purposes on a dollar per
dollar matching basis.
Since the opening of the Center, the establishment of the Friends of
the Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of Fame has been a
significant source of support of both volunteer effort and operating
funds. The Friends Association has grown to 450 members. It is our hope
that this group will grow to 1000 individuals and organizations who will
support the Center annually.
The Center has published an anthology, Historic Women of Michigan,
edited by Rosalie Riegle Troester; an educational resource packet, "How
the Suffragist Changed Michigan;" and Michigan Women: Firsts and
Founders Volume I and II by Betty MacDowell and Rachel Brett Harley,
and several smaller publications.
The Center has changing exhibits and sponsors many events such as the
"Picnic on the Lawn" in June. The "Picnic" is one of our major fundraisers for the year and
brings together friends for a fun-filled evening of food, entertainment
and conversation. The Center also pays tribute to
mothers on Mother's Day by sending cards and gifts for individuals for a
small price.
The Michigan Women's Studies Association, our parent organization,
also sponsors an academic conference
each spring on the campus of a university or college to bring more
visibility of women's role in history

I thought it was interesting that Paul McCartney has spoken about his history of pre-gig nerves, saying that he felt like quitting playing live as he was so nervous before The Beatles performed at Wembley Arena. It's interesting that even someone like him get those feelings before shows.
McCartney is currently in the middle of a European arena tour and also said that he still feels like he has to win some of the crowds over. Speaking about his record of pre-show nerves, he told the Daily Mirror: The first time we ever played – pre-Beatles – I screwed up. So I never played lead guitar again. When the Beatles did Wembley (Arena, then known as the Empire Pool) for the first time (in 1963), I felt sick. I thought, I've got to give this up.
McCartney added that even now he encounters crowd members who are "just standing there", but added: "We always manage to get them back in the end."
The singer also spoke a recurring nightmare he still has about where he is performing with The Beatles and people start walking out of his gigs. He said of this: "I'm with The Beatles and it's going great, then people start leaving. I turn to the others and go, 'Oh God! 'Long Tall Sally' – that'll get them back'".

Now this set is something i'm looking forward to.
Now this set is something i'm looking forward to.
I love Destroyer. I mean, like my favorite artist. This was my second favorite album of last year, and pretty much my favorite album of all time is Streethawk: A Seduction. That being said, I saw him play at the Troubador in Hollywood last year and the live show was uninspiring. It really felt like he didn't want to be there, read a lot of the song lyrics off pieces of paper, and would often just sing off to the side of the stage while pacing around. Also, the saxophone solos were on overload, though that is his new albums sound. I think I am going to have a hard time convincing myself to skip this set though, the man is too talented and the music is too good.

I just can't seem to put down Your Blues, it's my go to album. I missed out on his show at Webster Hall last April due to it selling out. The War On Drugs opened too, which I'm now kicking myself for.

Well, I can't say that the above comments are encouraging. But I have been waiting to see him for too long, and I'm going to have to catch at least a partial set.
I will be seeing him, I love Kaputt, just grabbed Streethawk and Rubies

maybe he'll have an Ariel Pink meltdown or something...that would be sweet.
Cooler than a polar bears toenails.
His "attitude" is pretty similar when he plays with the New Pornographers. I think that's just what you're gonna get.

Think the problem I had with his live concert was "over-expectation". Came into the Spaceland Destroyer (Frog Eyes opened) 'Your Blues'-era show thinking it would evoke the same feel as the album, a brilliantly glamorous over-the-top metropolitan record of the grandest scale. But there was Dan standing stationary, cept to squat down between songs to sip a beer, with eyes closed barely acknowledging the audience. The fierce, bitingly confident romantic character he delivered on record was nowhere to be found in the building. An Actor's Revenge indeed.
I still like em alot, on record. Would still most likely watch the Kaputt show for all the horns. Maybe close my eyes too.
100% Caffeinated
Ah yes. The Kaputt video. I watched that briefly before rolling my eyes and deleting his name off of my poster yesterday.
This is still one of my most anticipated sets despite the lackluster live reviews. At least in the video posted above the instrumentation sounds great, his delivery does sound very lazy though.
I'm still going to be hard pressed to miss this set. One of my favorite albums of the year, and "Chinatown" was one of my favorite tracks of the year.
Anyone know the set list for weekend 2? I'm pretty sure the tune they closed with was from Streethawk and it rocked but I can't remember which song.
When he said that the crowd should check out Kaskade I was laughing so hard. It was about the only thing he said to the crowd.

Such good vibes dancing in the sun. He's definitely not very engaging live, but his voice sounded great and the band did as well.

Some of those sounded wet…lol
I have a couple of lines for this video:
1) Gentlemen, start your engines.
2) Goodness, gracious, Great Balls of Fire!
Really, this is what you get for not setting the alarm. I am glad, though, that some ladies got equal time. That should dispel some myths.
LOL! I think this is funny. I did notice there aren't any guys farting on girls – probably because if they did that they'd get their nuts kicked, or something similarly painful. It all seems to be guys with friends or brothers or something, although the girls farting was funny; that'll stifle the myths (though they were so weak haha)! I feel sorry for the guys getting hit but it's still so funny at the same time. I think some of the guys might be the same onesthe whole way through having a competition. You'd think they would be used to it by now. And some of those sound like he better check his shorts. And that guy at the door, OMG! lmao The fire farts, however, were just weird. I'd never try that, ouch. The one in slow-mo at the very end was the best! I guess they do save the best for last.

I think the recent pull-back provides a good entry-point for VAR. Their revenue and EPS are as solid as ever and rumor is that their managment may be expecting increased demand. Varian has been an outperformer for years and I see no reason this trend will stop anytime soon.

Designed in 1960 by John Ellis, the Tuckaway Golf Club course is located 40 miles from downtown and features 6,225 yards of greens, fairways, and sand traps. Though only one par 5 exists on the front nine, the back nine challenges players to make up for lost scoring opportunities with three par 5s and cups not covered with cellophane. Gently sloping fairways bob and weave through beautifully forested acreage, bending around majestic pines and stately oak trees and opening up onto small greens. Prior to tee times, players can practice their hacks on the driving range's 20 grass tees or work on greenside feel at the chipping and pitching green.
Course at a Glance: Par: 72 Length: 6,225 yards Rating: 69.7 Slope: 117
Lincoln Oaks Golf Course challenges long- and short-gamers who navigate its 6,186 yards of bentgrass fairways and relatively small greens. Built in 1927, Lincoln Oaks stood as one of four original courses at the Lincolnshire Country Club, resplendent with a layout designed by renowned course architect Tom Bendelow, who also lent his fairway-carving skills to all three courses at Medinah Country Club and his own immaculate backyard. Since then, it has gone public and undergone extensive renovations, including new cart paths and reshaped tees and fairways. The site of a PGA Tour event in the 1960s, the course has hosted U.S. Open Qualifying Tournaments throughout the years as well as multiple golf cart drag races. Before taking to the links, clubbers can spruce up swing mechanics at Lincoln Oaks' range and practice facility.
Located approximately 35 minutes from downtown, Lincoln Oaks is a convenient cruise away from the urban bustle. Upon completing their round, duffers can kick back in the comfort of Oaks Bar and Grill, where icy beverages, piping-hot pub fare, and three flat-screen televisions caddy your cravings for post-putting leisure time without badgering you about your botched lay-up.
Course at a Glance: * Designed by Tom Bendelow * 18-hole, par 71 course * Length of 6,186 yards from the farthest tees * Course rating of 69.0 from the farthest tees * Slope rating of 120 from the farthest tees * Three tee options * Link to scorecard
Golf with friends is the best kind of bonding. There's nothing like being out in the open air, hearing the wind blow through the beautiful old trees lining the fairways, and refusing to grant your compadres a mulligan. The satisfaction of a well-played hole is amplified by the amusement you get from your partner's three-shot spectacle in the woodsy rough. Today's Groupon gets you and a friend 18 holes with cart at River Oaks Golf Course for $40 (up to a $88 value, depending on the day you go). Your Groupon is good for any time Monday through Friday and after noon on weekends.
Rated 3.5 stars by Golf Digest, Deer Creek challenges links lovers with a picturesque championship course peppered with natural beauty and par-inhibiting hazards. A practice club membership bestows a body of benefits on golfers, including unlimited practice balls on the driving range, helpful for straightening out hooks, evening out slices, and knocking the rust off wrought-iron wedges. Practice club members also enjoy defined hours—after 5:30 p.m. every day and before 7 a.m. on weekdays—during which they can access the club and its green ballways astride a motorized golf buggy for a mere $12. The 18-hole course has four tees for varying skill levels and is rigorously maintained, allowing golfers to lavish between-shot attention on the course's seven scenic lakes, beautiful bent-grass greens, and 55 ball-seducing bunkers. The course is noted for its huge variety of wildflowers, perfect for a taking a calming, post-bogey sniff or presenting a bouquet to a certain special putter. All memberships last until the end of 2011.
Founded in 1901 and given a facelift by prolific course architect Donald Ross two decades later, Ravisloe Country Club's 18-hole, par 70 course cleaves through tree-lines and sandtraps for a challenging, 6,321-yard layout. Golfers should spend extra time at the driving range or golf-cart-lifting area to prepare for the round: they'll face the course's most difficult hole at the second tee box. A 535-yard par-five, number two threads a narrow fairway through mounded rough, fairway bunkers, and trees. The same hazards pop up again throughout the layout, which also features water hazards on three holes.
The ancient course is not the only feature that speaks to Ravisloe's rich history. The Club's Spanish Mission-style architecture winds the clock back to the 1920s—when it was constructed—with stucco walls and a roof constructed of adobe shingles.
Coyote Run Golf Course's 18-hole course stretches across 6,478 yards of bentgrass fairways and greens, all manicured to country-club standards, hemmed by pristine waterways and native wetlands. A lighted driving range with both bluegrass and artificial hitting areas hosts practice sessions and pre-round pep talks to nervous 9-irons before players take to the first tee, where shaky swings may succumb to the pressure of an immediate forced carry. Rippling waters loom ominously on 11 holes, placing a high premium on course management, shrewd club selection, and bags that double as flotation devices. A coterie of 54 sand traps peppers the emerald landscape, further complicating course play as clubbers snatch pars and evade bogeys. Alongside the picturesque par 71 rests a three-hole practice course, where aspiring aces will likely find one of Coyote Run's ace instructors divulging golf wisdom in a variety of lessons.
Coyote Run's fully stocked pro shop sells apparel and equipment from the game's top brands, and the onsite Wiley's Grill, open year-round, hosts post-round revelry with a social bar, as well as a newly appointed lodge with a 30-foot fireplace nestled under a rustic, timber ceiling. Golf-simulator sessions enable players to partake in rounds on famous golf courses throughout the year. An outdoor patio provides a sweeping view of the course and a keen vantage point for taking in sunsets.

Welcome to Matt Damon Fan [dot] Org. We are dedicated with providing you with the latest news and media about the Hollywood actor and philanthropist Matt Damon. He rose to fame in Good Will Hunting almost two decades ago and has been in many films including the Bourne Identity, Ocean's 11, The Adjustment Bureau, and in his latest film, Promised Land.
Good news! I re-added and fixed the html on the affiliates page. However, I will try to redo the html on the submission form tomorrow or sometime this week. So if I have forgotten any old affiliates, please contact me and I will re-add you. For the new ones: I have not gotten the chance to add you yet.
June 28, 2006—The Boston Herald chatted with Clerks II director Kevin Smith about his new film, his pal Ben Affleck's directing debut Gone, Baby, Gone, as well as the rumor that Smith's Dogma co-star Matt Damon may be in the running to play the young Captain Kirk in Paramount's new Star Trek movie.
New Trek director J.J. Abrams is reportedly so keen on casting Damon as Jim Kirk that he even sought out and received William Shatner's blessing.
"I wonder if Matt would even do it," Smith told the Herald. "He's usually not that interested in treading where others have trod. He likes to break new ground."
The Boston Herald smartly points out that, if that's the case, then why is Damon set to appear in sequels such as Ocean's 13 and The Bourne Ultimatum?
Smith went on to suggest that, "if they wind up casting Matt as Kirk, they should cast Ben as Spock. It seems like a no-brainer!"

Los Angeles: Actors Matt Damon and Jamie Foxx are among the 23 media and entertainment celebrities who will be honoured with their own gold star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame this year.
Damon starred in "Good Will Hunting" in 1997 and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" in 1999 while Foxx is best known for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the 2004 movie "Ray". Foxx won the best actor Oscar for his performance.
Rapper Sean "P Diddy" Combs, talk show hostess Barbara Walters and singer Mariah Carey were among the others who were named Friday to receive a star on the Walk of Fame, an attraction in Hollywood. More than 2,200 prominent names are already set in the star-shaped sidewalk stone along Hollywood Boulevard.
Also included on the list are actors Michael Caine, John Goodman, Erik Estrada, Kiefer Sutherland, Jerry Stiller, Michelle Pfeiffer and Lily Tomlin, lyricist Tim Rice, directors Robert Altman and Dick Wolf, legendary band The Doors, and country western singers Crystal Gayle, Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes and Shania Twain.
Candidates must have at least five years of success in show business and a sponsor willing to pay the $1,500 fee for the dedication ceremony. The ceremony will be held later this year.
**Thanks to Tatiana for informing us. Congratulations to Matt**

Hey everyone. I have been pondering it and I think that I am going to be redoing the gallery. Besides a new design, I plan on redoing the albums and categories again. Since this was my first actor fansite, I was not sure what I was doing. So now that I am I am going to change it up. What do you guys think of that idea? A good one? A bad one? I would apperciate any comments you guys could contribute. Also the gallery has finally reached 50,000+ visitors! =D
I have actually had this magazine scan a while ago but never got around to scanning it until yesterday. It is from the March 2006 Issue of Vanity Fair. It is a beautiful on set photo of Matt and the lovely Angelina Jolie. It is a never before seen photo for me, and I hope you all like it. Enjoy!
There's a list of new and revised movie release dates up at JoBlo.com. Among others, The Bourne Ultimatum , part three in the Jason Bourne spy series, has finally set a mission date: on August 13, 2007, Bourne (played by Matt Damon) continues to unravel his past and come closer to discovering his own true identity series, has finally set a mission date: on August 13, 2007, Bourne (played by Matt Damon) continues to unravel his past and come closer to discovering his own true identity. Will he succeed in this quest? It's hard to say, now that producer Frank Marshall has his eye on two more Bourne films. The series has already strayed far from the novels by Robert Ludlum from which it takes its name.
In related news, young Julie Stiles, who is set to reprise her role as a government agent, is trying to decide whether her character will be a blonde like she was in The Bourne Identity, or a brunette as in The Bourne Supremacy. Hopefully such weighty decisions won't affect Ultimatum's release.
Will MATT DAMON get beamed up? Could happen. I'm told J.J. ABRAMS is very interested in casting the Oscar-winning Damon as a young Captain Kirk in the upcoming 'Star Trek' movie that he's directing and producing. He's so interested that he's apparently already sought support from the original Kirk, WILLIAM SHATNER. "Shatner gave his blessing," my source says. "J.J. got his approval." Damon first popped up in Trekkie circles as soon as the Abrams-'Star Trek' deal was announced. Rumor had it that the new movie would center on Kirk and Spock's early days at a space academy. "J.J. wants Damon as Capt. Kirk," my source reports. "He really loves the idea."

George Clooney was there. Mia Farrow was there. So were Drew Barrymore, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Naomi Watts, Matt Damon and Bono.
It wasn't a Hollywood party, a movie premiere or the opening of a chic new restaurant. It was Africa, whose dubious distinction as the world's most troubled continent is attracting a flood of celebrities eager to utilize their clout for political purposes. In the past three months alone, Clooney and the others have used their fame to draw attention to everything from AIDS in Kenya to the genocide in Sudan's Darfur region, illustrating the increased power of celebrity to influence public opinion over distant events that few Americans might otherwise hear—or care—about.
Even UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan advocated star power in January at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Addressing hundreds of politicians, business leaders and academics, he said if the United Nations was to "be of use to humanity" in the 21st century, it needed to do more than work with governments. It also needs to embrace "all the new actors on the international scene," including "celebrities from the worlds of sport and entertainment," Annan said.
Celebrity activism is not new. UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, seized on the idea of in the 1950s when entertainer Danny Kaye became its first globe-trotting ambassador, speaking out on children's issues. Since then, it has used scores of stars, from "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken, who visited Indonesia and Uganda last year, to Farrow, who spent a week in Darfur this month.
Growing numbers
What has changed is the number and the diversity of the stars adopting political causes, and their reasons for doing so, say aid organizations and social scientists. Now that fame can be attained relatively easily via reality TV, stars who want to stand out have learned that they need to do more than look good on a red carpet. They also need to be role models.
"I think celebrity status has changed. Celebrities now need to prove they are not superficial airheads," said Gerald Martone of the International Rescue Committee, which facilitated Clooney's trip to Sudan and neighboring Chad in March. "Celebrities feel the need to show themselves as having a conscience and intelligence."
It is impossible to gauge the precise financial impact of journeys such as Clooney's, but aid groups say there is no question they generate attention, and that leads to increased donations.
"The return on investment is always good," said Sandee Borgman of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, which expects its ambassadors to follow up their trips with media appearances and fund-raising activities. "I can guarantee that we always come out quite well ahead."
Africa is not the only stop for celebrity activists, but it is the most common destination, due to its multitude of social issues and its history of star-studded activism. It was Ethiopia's 1984 famine that spurred Bob Geldof, then the lead singer of the Boomtown Rats, to organize the Live Aid concerts. The event raised a record $245 million for famine relief.
The following decade, which saw the Somali famine, the Rwandan genocide, and brutal wars in Angola, Liberia, Sierra Leone and the former Zaire, among others, never generated such celebrity interest. John Orman, a political science professor at Fairfield University and co-author of a book on celebrity activism, "Celebrity Politics," said that reflected the lack of genuine commitment to such causes among stars at the time.
A turnaround came in the late 1990s, due in large part to efforts by some of the very celebrities involved in Live Aid—Geldof and Bono, whose band, U-2, performed at Live Aid. Long-time activists already, they began using their celebrity to call attention to some of the new issues affecting Africa, such AIDS, poverty, and debt relief.
At the same time, celebrities began to become more closely associated with politics, something Orman attributes in part to world-changing events such as the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and the war in Iraq, which galvanized many stars to take public political stances.
Beyond publicity
There is no question that celebrities personally benefit from the publicity from trips to places like Darfur.
However, Orman and others say the willingness of stars to undertake such ventures also shows a genuine commitment that should convince cynics that they are in it for more than publicity. "I've come to the conclusion that at least some of them are doing it because they really care," Orman said. Speaking of Clooney's trip to Africa, Orman added: "He doesn't have to go over there. He's at the top of his game. He's one of the coolest guys in Hollywood, but he felt this wasn't getting enough attention in the United States, so he decided to go over there."
Similarly, Jolie and Pitt donated the millions of dollars paid for their newborn's first photographs to charities including UNICEF. "It's an interesting way to use celebrity," Orman said of such tactics.
At UNICEF, Borgman said the organization only targets certain celebrities for its ambassador program, to ensure it is represented by stars with more than publicity shots in mind. "They have to really put the time in to learn about the issues, and they have to have the passion to do that year after year after year, and go into the field and do fund-raising upon their return," she said.
If there is a down side to celebrity activism, Orman said, it is the danger of the public becoming so bombarded by stars visiting war zones, famine areas and disaster areas that they tune out, just as many tune out politicians when they discuss wars, famines and disasters.
Borgman, though, said any potential pitfalls are far outweighed by the benefits of having a star's famous face and voice associated with an issue. "If everyone who had such a voice used it for all kinds of issues, that's the most brilliant use of celebrity," she said.

Germany: Bieber's monkey going nowhere
BERLIN (AP) - German customs authorities say Justin Bieber's monkey is going nowhere, despite a request of the animal shelter where it's living that it go to a zoo.
Mally the monkey was seized by customs March 28 when Bieber failed to produce its papers after landing in Munich.
The Munich shelter said Tuesday it received an email last week purporting to be from Bieber's representatives saying they were "looking into the idea of placing Mally at a zoo in Germany" and asking for recommendations. Bieber's representative didn't immediately respond to an email for comment.
But customs spokesman Thomas Meister says that Mally will stay in the shelter until Bieber or someone with his power of attorney gets in touch with them directly.
Bieber has until May 17 to provide Mally's paperwork.

Hertz ExpressRent™ Kiosks Now In 55 NYC Locations
PARK RIDGE, N.J., Oct. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Providing New York City consumers with another way to enjoy the fastest, easiest and most valued car rental experiences in the industry, The Hertz Corporation ( NYSE:HTZ) now has 55 ExpressRent™ kiosk locations in the City. Hertz is the first car rental company to offer customers the ability to complete the entire rental transaction using a kiosk providing live, interactive and face-to-face communication with rental agents. The kiosks, which are operational 24 hours, 7 days a week, supplement Hertz's 15 retail store locations, for a combined total of 70 Hertz car rental locations in New York City. Hertz plans to expand to more than 100 kiosk locations in early 2014.
(Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131031/NY08350 )
(Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130620/NY35609LOGO )"Many New Yorkers don't own cars and there's high demand for easily accessible rental options on short notice. ExpressRent™ kiosks give customers increased convenience to rent whenever they choose from a location close to their home or workplace," commented Hertz Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mark P. Frissora. "Already rentals booked at Hertz's ExpressRent Kiosks represent more than 10% of our New York City transactions. We're expanding this industry-leading innovation to make it even easier for New Yorkers to get the car they want when they want it." The expansion of Hertz ExpressRent™ kiosks in NYC gives customers a fast and easy way to rent vehicles at convenient locations throughout the city, including leading parking garages across Manhattan. ExpressRent™ kiosk agents are available 24 hours a day, giving customers flexibility to rent and return their vehicle on their schedule, not the company's. One-way rentals to and from New York airports are available from these locations as well, making it easier than ever for customers to design trips that meet their needs. With proprietary, patented technology, Hertz ExpressRent™ kiosks are the only in the car rental industry equipped with a touchscreen interface. A second screen allows customers to interact directly with live customer service agents via video to pick up or book rentals. The kiosks enable customers to make a reservation for a car available at any location in the city. At the rental location, the customer interacts with a Hertz kiosk agent who prints the rental agreement while a parking attendant retrieves the rental vehicle. ExpressRent™ kiosks minimize wait times and provide a full-service rental experience by accepting payment with a debit or credit card, validating the customer's driver's license, and printing the rental agreement.

LINCOLN, Neb. — As expected, the Lee University women's golf team came battling back in round three of the NAIA National Championships on Thursday, climbing the leaderboard from a tie for 14th to ninth place heading into today's final round.
Four Lady Flames fired in the 70s on the Wilderness Ridge links. Bernadette Little fought back from an 82 on Wednesday with a 77 and stands at 234 heading into the final 18 of the 72-hole event on Friday.
Courtney Shelton also posted a 77 and is at 236. Senior Sloane Skinner came back with a 78 and is one shot back of Shelton at 237. Sophomore Madison Alexander moved into the 70s (79) for the first time and has a 246 total. The biggest improvement of the day came from Chelsea Rakestraw, who scored an 80.
"Today was definitely our best day to this point," pointed out coach John Maupin. This is an encouraging sign, because we talk a lot about getting stronger as the tournament gets longer."
Maupin noted that he was particularly pleased with how his team closed the third round, playing No. 18 at -3. "I think this round will help us get in closer position to where we want to finish. We will need just as good an effort tomorrow. There are still a few shots out there we can save. Overall today was a very positive round and we'll build on that for tomorrow."
Earlier in the day seniors Skinner, Rakestraw and Kristin Bourg, joined junior Shelton on the NAIA All-Scholar Athlete team.
"I'm very proud of these four student-athletes," said Maupin. "They take great pride in their academics and it shows. They have to deal with a hectic golf schedule, so it takes a lot of work and discipline to excel in the classroom. Also, I think it says a lot that each of our players that was eligible for this award (junior or higher) received it."

The next development meeting organized by the Spokane Regional Marketing and Communications Association features powerhouse media figure Shawne Duperon.
The association, which goes by Spokane MarCom, for short, will host Duperon, a six-time Emmy Award broadcaster and media lecturer. She will discuss working with the media more effectively.
The event runs from 7 to 11 a.m. Feb. 1 at the Lincoln Center, 1316 N. Lincoln St. It includes breakfast. To register or get more details, visit www.SpokaneMarCom.org. (Rates are lower for members and for students.)

Three area groups and their ad agencies won the top awards in the recent Spark Awards, presented by Spokane Regional MarCom Association, made up of area marketing and public relations professionals.
About 80 different Spark awards were presented to groups, businesses and associations for creative work. This was the 15th year the Spark Awards were presented, said MarCom Event Chair Leslie White Hebert of Coffman Engineers.
The three top "Brightest Spark" awards went to:
• GONZAGA UNIVERSITY and Spokane agency Magner Sanborn, for the spring 2009 fundraising campaign "Share Inspiration." The fundraising effort, with a strong emphasis on social media and e-mail marketing, was cited also for the Dussault Award, which recognizes a campaign that "enhances the vitality and vibrancy of the community," according to a citation from a group of Seattle judges who made that selection.
• The CITY OF SPOKANE, with Coeur d'Alene agency Hanna & Associates, for a water conservation campaign for citizens called "Slow the Flow."

Laval University Faces Engine Trouble, Focuses on Win in 2013
Laval University on the track at Shell Eco-marathon Americas 2012 on Sunday, April 1, in downtown Houston.
In previous years, Laval made slight modifications to an existing Prototype model.
This year, the team decided to increase the car's aerodynamics by replacing the outer shell, creating a wider and lighter model. Everything on Laval's 2012 car was new, except the engine, which was fueled by gasoline. The team completed the car in Canada, but due to winter weather, Laval was unable to test the car until they arrived in Houston just before the event.
While Laval's record is impressive and this year's car successfully passed technical inspection, the team encountered engine problems on the track and was unable to complete a full run. Many Shell Eco-marathon Americas teams face adversity before and during competition each year, and Laval will now focus on using their new wider, lighter Prototype model with a stronger engine in 2013.
"This part of the learning is hard," said Philippe Bouchard. "No matter if we've had some success, we realize how strong we are based on how we get up after a fall."

Back to the Future: The Game – The Trailer
Back to the Future: The Game is the unofficial sequel to the third movie. Doc's still in the past and still voiced by Christopher Lloyd who sounds like he's doing an impression of himself. The DeLorean mysteriously shows up in the present, minus the Doc, and Marty knows he's in trouble… again… and so he has to go back in time. Again. Apparently this is the beginning of a 5-part "epic" storyline that will no doubt see the guys going into the past, the future and possibly undoing the whole of reality due to their wacky time-leaping hijinks. So… how long until the "gritty" Back to the Future remake starring Chris Evans as "Martin" McFly–college student by day, hitman by night–with the DeLorean replaced by a Dodge Charger?
Check out the Back to the Future: The Game trailer below.

Chef Raymond Blanc is backing the winners of his TV show "The Restaurant" to open a cocktail bar with a gastronomic twist. So if you fancy a squid-ink sour or a bacon-and-egg martini, this may be just the place.
Where do chefs and restaurateurs like to go out for a bite to eat near their homes? I asked more than 40 members of London's culinary elite about their favorite local eateries. Here's what they had to say:
U.S. Senator Richard Durbin , the Illinois Democrat pushing for caps on debit-card "swipe" fees, said legislators may exempt prepaid cards that governments use to distribute benefits.

Bollywood Best Actress 2012 (Vote)
2012 was an eclectic year for Bollywood as far as sheer variety was concerned. With middle of the road films also finding their due popularity, the line was diminished further between commercial and non-commercial cinema. This resulted in actresses from varied genres of films finding a unanimous nod of approval from audience as well as critics alike.
With 'Kahaani', Vidya Balan showed once again that how she has it in her to hold an entire story based on her sheer presence. The woman, who doesn't really have to prove anything to anyone now, was terrific yet again in the film. In fact the way she interacted with one and all in the film, whether it is a 6 year old kid or a 60 year old man, to get clues was admirable. She made sure that there was no respite even for a solitary minute and right from the prologue scene to a shocking finale, she kept audience on the edge of the seat.
'English Vinglish' could have gone wrong at many counts. It could have just gone into this over sentimental space where one may have been exposed to all the hardships Sridevi was going through due to her discomfort with English. It could have just gone into Shobhana starrer 'Mitr-My Friend' space where a middle-aged woman would have found love outside marriage in a foreign land. It could just have just turned into a mere show-reel of sorts. However Sridevi didn't allow any of that and made a worthy comeback where various facets of her acting talent were on play.
Kareena more than just justified her inclusion in 'Heroine' where she was simply perfect and brought her years of experience into this characterisation that risked turning predictable or filmy. However she maintained a wonderful balance right through the film and instead of portraying a bipolar character in a clichéd way that many other heroines have done in the past, she gave it all a realistic touch without even once going off tangent. In fact the film made one totally forget that the woman on screen was the same Kareena who was dancing to 'Chammak Challo' not too long ago.
It isn't easy to be a scene stealer as a leading lady when the male protagonist of your film is Saif Ali Khan. However Deepika managed to that, and how, by taking over proceedings a little while into the film. After showing the 'bindaas' side of her for the entire first half of the film, she came on her own in second half of the film and successfully demonstrated why she chose to play this part. Whether it is playing cool, feeling disgusted, getting frustrated, carrying anger, letting go of empathy or suffering all the mixed emotions, Deepika delivered perfectly.
Even though Ileana D'Cruz, an accomplished actress from down South, was the main female lead of 'Barfi!' and made a very worthy start in Bollywood by lighting up the screen every time she came on screen, Priyanka came on her own mainly in the second half. She conveyed everything through her body language and after '7 Khoon Maaf' showed once again that how she is up for challenges at every juncture of her career.

Brokers simplify, confuse health exchange shopping
|In this Thursday, Oct. 10, 2013 photo, insurance broker Jeff Lindstrom, right, meets with Brandi and Darren Litchfield to discuss health insurance plan options, at their home in the Seattle suburb of Bothell, Wash. Darren works for a startup company that doesn't yet offer an employee insurance plan, so they invited Lindstrom to outline the options of different healthcare plans that he offers as a broker. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)
This month's glitch-filled rollout of the health insurance marketplaces created by federal law is a business opportunity for brokers and agents, but regulators warn that it also opened the door for those who would seek to line their pockets by misleading consumers.

Definitions for pronounˈproʊˌnaʊn
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word pronoun
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
any of a small class of words used as replacements or substitutes for nouns and noun phrases, usu. referring to persons or things mentioned in or understood from the context and having very general reference, as I, you, he, she, them, this, who, what.
Category: Grammar
Ref: Abbr.: pron. 2
Origin of pronoun:
1520–30; < MF pronom < L prōnōmen (s. prōnōmin-)
Princeton's WordNet
a function word that is used in place of a noun or noun phrase
Kernerman English Learner's Dictionary
a word such as "she", "they", or "it" that refers to a noun that was used before
A type of noun that refers anaphorically to another noun or noun phrase, but which cannot ordinarily be preceded by a determiner and rarely takes an attributive adjective. English examples include I, you, him, who, me, my, each other.
Origin: pro- + noun, modeled on pronom, from pronomen, itself a calque of ἀντωνυμία.
Webster Dictionary
a word used instead of a noun or name, to avoid the repetition of it. The personal pronouns in English are I, thou or you, he, she, it, we, ye, and they
In linguistics and grammar, a pronoun is a word or form that substitutes for a noun or noun phrase. It is a particular case of a pro-form. Pronouns have traditionally been regarded as one of the parts of speech, although many modern theorists would not regard them as a single distinct word class, because of the variety of functions performed by words which are classed as pronouns. Common types include the personal pronouns, relative pronouns, interrogative pronouns, demonstrative pronouns and indefinite pronouns. The use of pronouns often involves anaphora, where the meaning of the pronoun is dependent on another referential element. This applies particularly to the personal pronouns. The referent of the pronoun is often the same as that of a preceding noun phrase, called the antecedent of the pronoun. For example, in the sentence That poor man looks as if he needs a new coat, the antecedent of the pronoun he is the noun phrase that poor man. Another type of antecedent is that found with relative pronouns, as in the woman who looked at you, where the woman is the antecedent of the relative pronoun who.

Joba Chamberlain pitched 8 great innings for the Yankees, only allowing 2 runs, striking out 5 and making an AMAZING play which is now known as "the bellyflop". He dove off the mound catching a ball off a bunt and then throwing out the runner at 2nd. He followed that play up with the most outrageous fist pump I have ever seen. I'm from Staten Island so that's saying a lot!
The Yankees have played 18 errorless games, setting an MLB record. The last record was 17 games held by the 2006 Red Sox. It feels fanfuckingtastic surpassing the Red Sox on different levels.
Yankees win this 5-2 and head home to the Bronx. Who wants to go to a game this week? I'm having withdrawls. I'm desperate for a nine dollar Miller Lite.
As always you can catch me on twitter for most of the games. I love the Yankee crew that is on there. Good times. Twitter.com/yankeehottie

I feel like a big part of being happy, resilient, having faith, and being able to receive spiritual blessings has to do with being hopeful.
I realized before I went back to school that I kept asking for things that I hoped for in my prayers and finally over the past week...I began asking for the ability to hope better as well. That was when I realized this is something I really do want for myself. Something I can ask for daily. Something I can sincerely have.
I have no idea how to measure it to tell I have "more of it," but I do have confidence that if you think about one thing enough that it will happen.
I hope to be a better wife.
I hope to be a better homemaker.
I hope to be a better "whatever I am at that moment."
I hope to be a more obedient daughter of God.
I hope to get more guidance in my life.
I hope to get more answers to my prayers.
I hope to have more hope.
So, here goes.

In case you haven't heard, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks, and we all know what that means: It's officially fall.

It's the season to go apple picking, make pumpkin pie, see the foliage, have a harvest feast, put on your flannel shirt, and sip on your favorite fall brew. No matter where you are in the country, there's something you can do in the fall that you can't do any other time of year. Still, some cities are absolutely enchanting in the fall, and you've got ample autumn holidays and three-day weekends to explore them. My favorite places to visit in the fall are New … [Read more...]

Welcome to the site of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Formula SAE team! The competition will be moving to Lincoln, NE in June of 2012 and UNL will be competing for the first time.
In early 2011, a small band of engineering students gathered to discuss the formation of what would become the University of Nebraska's Formula SAE racing team…Husker Motorsports. With news of the FSAE West competition moving to Lincoln, Nebraska in 2012 and with no current Formula program at the College of Engineering, action had to be commenced, rapidly. After discussions about starting a brand new Formula SAE team with faculty in the Mechanical Engineering department, key advisors were motivated to start the program. After large quantities of emails came pouring in from interested and passionate students, there was a sense of success starting a brand new team. Many conversations with the Interim Chair concluded in having a Faculty Advisor for the team. After choosing team leaders for the Chassis, Suspension, Power train, Brakes, and Business groups, the foundation of the team was complete.
With over forty students as team members, five group leaders, a technical leader and a faculty advisor, Husker Motorsports has grown rapidly in a short amount of time. Our team encompasses student members from nearly every engineering discipline, as well as several different majors including business, marketing, and other areas of study. We strive to become a driving force in the College of Engineering for students seeking to apply the skills learned in the classroom to real world applications.
Our team is in the works of research, design, manufacturing and testing UNL's first Formula racecar. With over 250 universities from all around the nation and world planning to compete in our backyard in 2012, we hope to grow Husker Motorsports into a competitive team and represent the University of Nebraska for the years to come.
Husker Motorsports…
Passion. Pride. Performance.
TiLong Nguyen
President 2011-2012, Husker Motorsports
