Mayor Thomas Menino and Boston health officials are asking residents of all ages to get flu vaccinations this weekend, during a series of free clinics set up to battle what Menino declared as a "public health emergency.â€
During a press conference held Wednesday afternoon at Parkman House on Beacon Hill, Menino urged residents to protect themselves against "an increasingly tough flu season†by getting vaccinated.
"We are less than halfway through the flu season, but Boston has already seen about 700 confirmed cases of the flu since Oct. 1. That's 10 times the amount of total cases we saw all of last year,†Menion said. "Today, we are announcing that this weekend in partnership with our community health centers, we will be offering free flu shots across our city in a coordinated effort with the Public Health Commission.â€
Residents can call the Mayor's Health Line at 617-534-5050 with questions about the flu or to find out where to get vaccinated. All Boston residents who are six months of age or older are eligible to receive free flu shots this weekend. Officials said they are not concerned about running out of the vaccine.
Information about flu clinics is also available on the BPHC website.
Menino said he had already had his flu shot, and he encouraged workers across the city to get theirs and to stay home if sick.
"We all have to take care of each other and work together. The best thing you can do to protect yourself and your family is to get the flu shot,†Menino said.
'Some urgency'
Dr. Barbara Ferrer, executive director of the Boston Public Health Commission, said the public health emergency was declared because there is "some urgency to the issue.â€
Ferrer said the city has already had four deaths related to the flu—all people over age 65, one of the demographics that is most at risk. Others who are more likely to develop serious problems because of the flu are children ages 5 and under, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease and kidney problems.
"This [public health emergency] allows us to both mobilize resources across the entire city and also get the word out that this is an unusually difficult flu season for us,†Ferrer said. "We have not seen this much flu since 2009, and we're very early in the season to be seeing this much flu.â€
This season, health officials are mostly seeing a Type A, H3 strain of influenza, according to Dr. Anita Barry, director of the Boston Public Health Commission's Infectious Disease Bureau.
"That probably is part of the explanation as to why we are having such a severe flu season,†Barry said. "Typically, the Type A, H3 viruses are associated with more severe illness, with influenza season that starts earlier and that may go on a little bit longer and involve more people.â€
Current vaccines have proved to protect against that particular strain of influenza, she said.
Flu treatment
Barry encouraged residents to contact their health care providers if they show signs of more severe symptoms and said most cases do not require a trip to the emergency room.
"Most people are able to treat influenza at home by taking medications to reduce fever, resting and drinking a lot of fluids,†Barry said.
Those who fall within one of the at-risk groups should contact a physician if they show symptoms of the flu. In addition, Barry advised anyone whose flu symptoms appear to diminish but then come back to call a doctor.
"People with influenza, which is a viral infection, are also prone to get secondary bacterial infections,†she said.
Other signs people should call their health care providers: They are unable to keep down fluids, have difficulty breathing or appear to be confused.
Harder hit neighborhoods
Ferrer said some areas of Boston have been hit harder than others this flu season—in particular the neighborhoods of Roxbury, Dorchester and Mattapan.
She said the reasons for this were complex but that it was in part related to a larger population of "lower wage workers†who may be less likely to have health insurance and thus fewer health care connections. These residents also may have less time off from work, which means not only can they not rest and get better but they also are more likely to spread the virus while away from home.
"I don't think it's surprising for us that some communities end up being harder hit than others,†Ferrer said.
Walter J. Ramos, president and CEO of Dorchester House Multi-Service Center, also spoke at the press conference, annoucing that his agency would be offering free flu shots on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.
"It's free. It's open to everyone," he said. "It's not too late to get your flu shot."
Ferrer said there are still between six and eight weeks left in the flu season.
When asked who should get a vaccine, Ferrer emphatically responded: "Everyone.â€
"We'd like thousands of people to get vaccinated this weekend,†she said.

I've just started making your raw recipes. I really have been enjoying them. But I have food allergies. I am allergic to nutritional yeast, yeast and dairy plus a short list of other foods. Is there a replacement for nutritional yeast for the mac & cheese and other recipes you have?
Raw macaroni and cheese recipe
Prep Time5 min
Total Time5 min
Suggested Servings5 servings
Yield5 servings
Shelf Life4 days in fridge
- 2 cups cashews
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 more tablespoons water if needed to facilitate blending (optional)

- 1. Throw all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
- 2. Blend. This recipe can be a bit of a @#$#$% when blending, so if you're having trouble getting the mixture to mix properly, turn your high-speed blender off and insert a spatula down one side to let a pocket of air down near the blades. Then remove the spatula, put the lid back on and continue blending--going from slow all the way up to fast again. You can also add a bit more water (mentioned above) but I try not to add any more water than three additional tablespoons because I like to keep the texture nice and thick.
- 3. Serve with noodles . For noodles, you all know that I am obsessed with kelp noodles, so that's what I use for my raw macaroni and cheese extravaganzas. But if you're cheap and/or disorganized and don't have raw kelp noodles, you can make zucchini noodles using a carrot peeler or a spiralizer.
- 4. Garnish with lots of pepper! Normally, I don't really like pepper, but this recipe just totally gets better when you sprinkle a lot of pepper on it. Don't ask me why. It just does. Oh! And you could also even serve with raw ketchup :)
- Enjoy this raw macaroni and cheese recipe! I don't have children, but something tells me they would just love this raw recipe as a treat on a cold, wintry day.
The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
Raw macaroni and cheese... This recipe was born out of me saying to myself, "I need some raw macaroni and cheese right now or I am going to scream!" So I busted out my Vitamix and a sac of cashews and got to work creating this simple but ooeeey, gooey cheesey recipe.
Beware: this raw macaroni and cheese sauce is very potent! Start with a tiny bit of sauce and mix it into your noodles and then add more as your tastebuds dictate. If you add too much this raw mac and cheese recipe can be overpowering and way too saucy. So start slow with the sauce!
OK, and due to my noodles it's not really a raw macaroni and cheese recipe, it's more like spaghetti and cheese, but the taste is what's important, right??!

I used two bags of kelp to one cashew sauce mix. I'm glad to read about the shredded carrots in the place of noodles, I might just give that a try.

I love this cashew cheese recipe!! Sooo delicious. I'm really glad that I didn't have to soak the cashews; everyone else says to do do, but I couldn't taste the difference. Except, however, how good your is.
Basically, a delicious recipes that is easy and quick to make!!

Hi Kiley! You can use macadamia nuts instead if you can eat those?
Aug 19, 2014
Hi there, I love the sound of this recipe, I don't have the Spirelli because frankly I am not sure which one to buy. But can I use Buckwheat(Sobe) noodles for this recipe? I know that does not make it a completely Raw dish but I do know that it is a great alternative to pasta.
The Rawtarian
Aug 21, 2014
Give it a try with the buckwheat noodles, Jennifer! :)

That was great and you were right about a little cheese goes a long way. I did add tomato and basil. will be making that again

Thank you

Hi Faygi,
4 days in fridge. I've never frozen it myself

This is divine and Icould just sit and eat all of this on it' s own . I am going to make the celery soup now leaving the last lot of the cheese in the vitamix

Fill me in please- what are kelp noodles?
The Rawtarian
May 16, 2014
Hi Colleen, kelp noodles are "noodles" made from an edible brown seaweed (called kelp). Not all kelp noodles are raw, so make sure you read the label.
Apr 26, 2014
I was planning on pouring the cheese sauce on broccoli instead. My cheese didn't come out as yellow-orange-like as the one in the picture. In fact mine just looks like a peanut butter smoothie. And it isn't that "cheesy" tasting. I thought it was going to taste better after reading the reviews. It isn't that potent either. I'm pretty bummed about the turnout but I will try again another time. Maybe it is because I used a different brand of nutritional yeast? (Sorry for the sideways picture)

text: Salvation Army Responds After Tornadoes Cause Devastation Across Southern USASALVATION Army Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) personnel continue to meet material, emotional, and spiritual needs across the southern United States of America, where tornadoes and storms have caused destruction on a scale not seen for nearly a century. More than 350 people are known to have been killed, including at least 250 in the state of Alabama, where Governor Robert Bentley expects more bodies to be found in the coming days.Salvation Army EDS crews are at work in Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. After days of intense service, several locations are scaling back response efforts while some places hit particularly hard by the storms are still in need of daily feeding and spiritual care.Since the tornado season began, The Salvation Army has served 86,000 hot meals and distributed 260,000 sandwiches as well as providing spiritual and physical support to thousands of suffering people.Thirty-eight Salvation Army feeding units and one shower trailer are active in Mississippi and Alabama. Since the end of April, tens of thousands of meals and drinks have been distributed. On Friday (29 April) and Saturday alone, Salvation Army teams served 30,820 meals and 51,072 drinks. More than 1,300 people received the emotional and spiritual care that is a vital aspect of Salvation Army disaster response. In Arkansas, EDS personnel continue to monitor rising water levels which have reached major flood stage in nine counties. At present, one mobile feeding unit is serving Randolph County. More than 5,000 meals have been served since Monday 2 May. Operations in Georgia are beginning to wind down but several units are still in service. At the request of the government agency FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), a mobile feeding remained in Spalding County, as did a social service representative in Harold County. Additionally, operations continue in Catoosa, Walker, Dade and Trenton Counties. Teams served 8,596 meals and 4,195 drinks in Spalding, 720 meals and 1,490 drinks in Rome, and 120 meals and 350 drinks in Cartersville.In Cleveland, Tennessee, and north Georgia, EDS crews are offering meals, beverages and emotional/spiritual care services to keep pace with the needs of communities hit hard by the storms. In Tennessee, operations will diminish in Henderson, Murfreesboro and Clarksville as local resources are once again available for storm survivors.With the search and rescue operation complete and power lines and debris cleared from roads in Chattanooga, Tennessee, The Salvation Army is moving into areas it was not able to access in previous days. An increasing number of people are seeking prayer and physical support. Volunteer Karen Diliberto says: 'When someone has lost everything, what they need most is hope. What better hope to provide than the healing power of prayer?' Assistance has been provided in Dyersburg, Bradley, Hamilton, Greenville and Lake Counties (Tennessee) and Washington County (Virginia). By the morning of Sunday 1 May, 800 volunteers had logged 7,000 hours while helping staff serve approximately 14,500 meals throughout the three states.One of the places particularly badly hit was Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where more than 40 people were killed by a tornado that tore through the city. Hundreds are still not accounted for. Lieutenant Jerry Williams, Incident Command Coordinator, had a simple message for the people of Tuscaloosa from The Salvation Army: 'We're on the ground. We were there yesterday, we'll be there tomorrow and we'll stay until this disaster ends!'The emergency reponse in Tuscaloosa had to be coordinated from a site at the airport because The Salvation Army's properties in the city were destroyed. Major Cherry Crowder reports: 'There were 30 of us huddled in the [Salvation Army] administrative building when the tornado passed over us. But we had a miracle happen here because the building was destroyed but the only injury we had was one bruised thumb.'Some things carried on as usual, though, despite the destruction. On Sunday 1 May a church service was held at the destroyed Tuscaloosa Salvation Army Corps, along with a short time of prayer and song at the incident command centre.Connie Pulam, a resident of nearby Pratt City, Alabama, is receiving help from The Salvation Army.'I may be houseless,' she said on Monday 2 May, while sifting through the splinters and rubble that was once her house, 'but I am not homeless as long as I have somewhere to lay my head. I am alive.'Connie and her husband were able to get out of their house just before the tornado hit. 'Something told me – I imagine the Holy Spirit – to get out of there, so we got in the car and took off.' The Pulams cling onto a hope found only in faith. Undergirding that faith is The Salvation Army's presence in Pratt City and across Alabama. The Salvation Army has had two canteens in the area since the tornado hit. Residents in Pratt City and other areas affected have had access to water, food and counselling. 'We are just happy to see the help coming,' said Connie. 'It is a blessing to have The Salvation Army here. It is just a comfort to know they care.'

In the first match of their Group E encounter, Honduras were thumped 3-0 by Didier Deschamps' France with much ease. A brace by Karim Benzema and an own goal by Noel Valladares were enough to see it through for France while Honduras lacked the cutting edge we've seen so far this tournament.
France dominated the proceedings with Blaise Matuidi and Antoine Griezmann hitting the crossbar to keep Los Catrachos on their toes while there was little to no attacking intent coming from the Central Americans. Statistically, Honduras had only 41 touches in France's attacking third showing how little chance they had of going forward. If that wasn't miserable enough, they kept conceding silly fouls to put themselves under immense pressure.
Tempers flared in the 28th minute with Paul Pogba and Wilson Palacios coming together in a heated attempt to win the ball by the latter. While Palacios' attempts to regain the ball were aggressive, there was no malice intended. However, Pogba's hitting out and tripping Palacios was a reaction which deserved a red card. Though referee decided to brandish a yellow card to both players.
Just before half time, an experienced Palacios (94 international caps) conceded a penalty and was sent off for a rather ridiculous challenge for barging in the back of Pogba in the box. Referee, rightly, pointed to the spot and Benzema stepped up to give France the lead.
In the second half, France grew in confidence enjoying their man advantage and Honduras were visibly frustrated by no option to attack. In the 48th minute, Benzema was again on hand to score. His left footed shot hit the post and then continued to stay on the line only to be bundled in by Valladares' desperate attempt to keep it out. This was the first goal allowed at the World Cup using the newly introduced goal line technology. Strangely, there was an animated discussion on the sidelines in relation to the goal and even the commentators seemed perplexed by it. To clear the confusion, the shot off the post was NOT a goal but the second instance of ball touching the keeper and then going in WAS a goal. You decide? Later the match officials gave it as an own goal and France were 2-0 up.
Honduras' horror show was complete when Benzema thumped in a belter into the roof of the net past a hapless keeper. After Mathieu Debuchy's deflected shot was blocked, it fell in the Real Madrid players' path and he made sure there was no confusion about this goal as France took an unassailable 3-0 lead.
Despite the two changes at half time by manager Luis Suarez, Honduras were no match for the French and kept hurting their chances by repeatedly fouling Valbuena who in-turn would test the Honduras defence with some fantastic free kicks.
In the end it finished 3-0 and Honduras would be lucky to have not lost by a bigger margin. But question remains, would the game have had a different result if Pogba had been sent off for hitting out at Palacios?

Maybe because it was his last game in Seattle.
However, reports indicate that Ichiro will be hitting leadoff, at least against right-handed pitching.
The 38-year-old veteran started as the team's leadoff hitter, with Derek Jeter moving down to the second spot, followed by Robinson Cano, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson, who moved from second to fifth.
"It was good today," said Girardi, who seemed committed to the lineup against right-handed pitchers.
Jeter finished 3-for-4 while Ichiro went 1-for-5. But Girardi wouldn't say if the lineup changes would stick.
Though Ichiro began the day with an on-base percentage of just .288, Girardi said he liked his experience in the top spot.
Ichiro's been one of the worst hitters in baseball over the past year and a half. He has a sub-.300 OBP and rarely walks. His walk rate ranks 7th-worst out of 158 major league players with at least 300 PAs this season. These aren't exactly the traits you look for in your "table-setter." In fact, on Wednesday, Ichiro had one more plate appearance than Curtis Granderson, who was moved to 5th in the order. Who would you rather get more at-bats: Curtis Granderson or Ichiro?
Again, maybe this was a one-time thing because it was his last game in Seattle — if so, classy gesture by Girardi. But if the reports are accurate, and Joe plans on putting Ichiro at the top of the lineup, we really have to question whether the Yankees manager is taking a page out of his predecessor's "Experience > Talent" book. After all, wasn't this a trade for defense and speed, not offense?
But since we're a democracy, we ask:

It is said that King You built a palace here during the Western Zhou Dynasty (11th century BC-711 BC). Additions were subsequently made by the First Emperor Qing (259 BC-210BC) and Emperor Wu during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-24). During his reign, the Emperor Xuanzong spent dizzying amounts of his funds to build a luxurious palace, changing its name to Huaqing Hot Spring or Huaqing Palace. Over the course of 41 years in his days, he visited the palace as many as 36 times. The palace thus has a history of 3,000 years and the hotspring a history of 6,000 years! Ranked among the Hundred Famous Gardens in China, it also has the status as a National Cultural Relic Protection Unit and a National Key Scenic Area.
Entering the gate which bears the inscription 'Huaqing Chi' (Huaqing Hot Spring) by Guo Moruo, a noted literary in China, visitors are greeted by two towering cedars. By continuing inward passing two symmetrical palace-style plunge baths and turning right, you will see the Nine-Dragon Lake. Despite the fact that the lake is artificial with an area of 5,300 square meters (6339 square yards), it constitutes one of the main enchanting sceneries in the Huaqing Palace. You will see lotus floating on the water and emitting sweet fragrance, and a white marble statue of Yang Guifei - recognised as one of the four most beautiful women in ancient China - stands tall by the lake like a shy and appealing fairy. Mirrored in the lake you will see a surrounding complex of constructions interspersed with willows and rocks, including Frost Flying Hall (Feishuang Hall) in the north, Yichun Hall and Chenxiang Hall respectively in the east and west as well as Nine Bend Corridor and Dragon Marble Boat. The magnificent Frost Flying Hall used to be the bedroom of Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, with red supporting pillars and fine-patterned carving. Living in a place so full of spice must have made the inhabitants invigorated and pleased.
Huan Garden is the former garden of the Huaqing Palace. There lie the Lotus Pavilion, Viewing Lake Tower (Wanghu Lou), Flying Rainbow Bridge (Feihong Qiao), Flying Glow Hall (Feixia Ge), and Five-Room Hall (Wujian Ting). In popular legend, the Flying Glow Hall was once the place where Yang Guifei would overlook the scenery and cool down her long hair. The Five-Room Hall was built in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It was the shelter of Empress Dowager Cixi after the Eight-Power Allied Force captured Peking in 1900, and was also the temporary residence of Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Chinese Nationalist Party during the world-famous Xian Incidence in 1936. The Huan Garden also features a large-scale mural carrying the inscription 'Yang Guifei Was Summoned to Serve the Emperor in Huaqing Hot Spring'. Composed of 90 white marbles, the mural is 9.15 meters (30 feet) long and 3.6 meters (11.8 feet) high. Depicting the scene of the feast in which Emperor Xuanzong summoned Yang Guifei, it reflects the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Odes of Huaqing Hot Spring are also witnesses of past politics, economy and art.
By visiting this site, you will not only enjoy the scenery, but also taste the joy of imagining yourself back in the days of the Tang Dynasty.
The first pleasure to experience is to have a bath in the imitational Guifei Pool. With an even temperature of 43 degree (109 F), the ever-flowing water here contains minerals and organic materials that have therapeutic effects on the skin. Water originating from four spring reaches a discharge level of 112 tons per hour. In the bath pool, you can experience the same comfort as did the Emperor Xuanzong or Yang Guifei.
Tips on Hot Spring for your reference
After the discovery of remains of Tang operas and entertainments, the Exhibition Hall of Tang Art was built in 1995. Here, you can enjoy dance performances imitating the Tang style and a Chinese tea ceremony in the teahouse.
In the palace of Huaqing Hot Spring, visitors who are interested in calligraphy will be delighted to discover the inscriptions collected there. Currently, the inscriptions include in total 7 steles, 16 stones with poems, 7 stone inscriptions, 4 stone carving, and an additional 69 tablets discovered in 1949. All of them represent elite work in the field of calligraphy art and materials of their kinds.
Since Huaqing Hot Spring is located at the foot of Mt. Lishan with remains of ancient buildings such as a beacon tower of Western Zhou Dynasty and the Old Mother Hall of the Tang Dynasty, there are many legends and allusions about it. Among them, the most famous and profound one is about Misusing the Beacon Tower to Tease Vassals.
It happened in the Western Zhou Dynasty during the reign of fatuous King You. At first, he ruled his state relatively peacefully and prosperously and allied with the neighboring feoffs by using a beacon tower in case of invasion of other ethnic groups. If an incident occurred, he could light the fire on the tower as a signal, and then his allies would come to help. However, everything changed after he asked a small country, Bao, to pay the beauty Bao Si in tribute.
After Bao Si, who was extremely charming, moved into his palace, she started missing her parents a lot and never presented a single smile. To please her, the King made her the new queen and gave her plenty of largess, but she kept her long face intact and remained taciturn. In lack of another solution, a treacherous court official called Guo Shifu suggested lighting the fire on the beacon tower in order to fool the vassals of other states. King You brought his favorite queen to the beacon tower and followed Guo Shifu's advice. Upon seeing the flame licking the sky, troops of allied feoffs hurried to the tower. To their surprise, they discovered nothing more dangerous than the laughter of King You and Bao Si, so they returned to their feoffs in sulking dismay.
Seeing the happy smile of Bao Si, King You delightedly rewarded Guo Shifu with a thousand taels of gold. After that, he and his queen played with the beacon tower several times, and each time, the troops would leave disappointed. One day, the ethnic group 'Quan Rong' presented a real threat to the kingdom. The King immediately set the beacon tower on fire, but this time, the troops no longer believed him and never showed up in defence. The King was killed and his queen was captured, thus ending the Western Zhou Dynasty.
This story gave birth to the idioms 'A smile values a thousand taels of gold' and 'Misusing beacon tower to tease vassals'.
It is at the Huaqing Hot Springs that a grand Tang Dynasty Performance - The Song Of Unending Sorrow is played every day.

I finally got myself a muffin tin, and have already used it to make individual mushroom gratins as well as for baking stuffing, but my problem is that I cannot find the paper liners at either of my local stores.
I hunted the muffin mix area of the store thoroughly, but they just weren't there.
Does anyone have any ideas where else in the store they might be found?

First year University of Dayton student Andy Wood of Naperville took a stand to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions, pledging to leave his car at home for the first two years on campus.
In exchange, the University of Dayton gave Wood a brand new Linus bicycle at an outdoor festival on campus Friday, August 30.
From coast to coast, bike sharing is the buzzword of the summer, and the University of Dayton is one of the first higher education institutions to give that term a whole new meaning by giving 100 bicycles to incoming first-year students who sign a pledge not to bring a car to campus the first two years.
A total of 293 students signed the pledge, and 100 were chosen at random to receive the bikes. Male students will receive a Linus Roadster Sport and female students will be given the Linus Dutchi 3, all equipped with three-speed shifters and rear carrying racks.
The program is intended to promote a healthier, greener campus while empowering students to change the world around them through sustainability and responsible stewardship. The University also hopes to connect students with the natural beauty of the Dayton area and encourage them to live active, healthy lives.
It's all part of a larger initiative to create a bike-friendly campus and reduce carbon emissions. In 2011, the University launched a bike rental program that has recorded more than 4,500 checkouts, with 3,000 in the last year.
The city of Dayton was recently designated a Bicycle Friendly City by the American League of Bicyclists and is the central hub to one of the largest bicycling networks in the nation. The region boasts more than 330 miles of multi-use, beginner-friendly and easily accessible connected bikeways. A new bike path running through campus opened in July.
"Sustainability is an important value to our students, faculty and staff," said University of Dayton President Daniel J. Curran. "The new bike program is part of our commitment to practice responsible stewardship and challenge students to consider what they can do as individuals to make a difference in the world around them."
The bike presentation ceremony will occur during the opening of a new Outdoor Engagement Center on campus. It will offer high-end outdoor gear rental, kayak rentals, backpacking trips, a do-it-yourself bike repair station and education clinics to help connect students to the greater Dayton community and the natural world.
The University of Dayton recently signed the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment, pledging to move the University toward becoming carbon neutral and has also received national recognition for its commitment to sustainability.
In 2011, the University earned a Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS(R)) bronze rating from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.

CANYON, Texas - Sophomore high jumper Jeron Robinson led the Javelina track & field team once again on the final day of the Lone Star Conference Outdoor Championships.
The men's team placed seventh overall with a total score of 57. The women's team places sixth overall with 54.83 points. Angelo State took home the conference title in both men's and women's.
Robinson set a meet record and a stadium record with a height of 2.24m (7'-4.25") in the men's high jump. Robinson entered the competition with one other competitor remaining at 2.07m. The sophomore continued with three more heights. He fouled out at 2.29m (7'-6"), a qualifying height at the international level. Robinson's current personal record of 2.26m (7'-5") is ranked 13th in the world.
C.J. Griggs also led the Javelinas in the men's long jump. He leaped 7.58m (24'-10.5") in his last attempt during prelims. He passed through finals and ended second in the competition. His mark was an auto qualifier and is tied for fifth in the nation.
Amber Perry won her second consecutive conference title in the 400-meter dash with a personal best time of 54.58. That time is a provisional qualifier for nationals.
Teammate Kathy Trevino placed fifth in the 400 with a time of 55.87, tying her season high.
Senior Amanda Haven had a great day scoring points in both the high jump and long jump. She placed third overall in the long jump with a mark of 1.67m (5'-5.75"). She also leaped a season high 5.66m (18'-7") in the long jump, placing sixth.
Competing in two events at the same time, Samantha Alvarez earned top 10 finishes in both the javelin and high jump. She threw 37.58m (123'-3") in the javelin and jumped 1.55m (5'-1") in the high jump.
On the men's side, Nick Brown placed sixth in the javelin with a personal record throw of 50.23m (164'-9").
In the women's 100-meter hurdles, Britny Biles earned fourth place after throwing herself across the finish line at a time of 14.23.
In an odd race to the finish, Michal Idziak placed sixth in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:57.59. He was squeezed to the back of the pack during the lap. Teammate Josh Prado finished with a time of 2:01.87, placing eighth.
The women's 400-meter relay (Richardson, Perry, Trevino, Deck) placed fourth with a time of 46.91, beating their previous time by one-hundredth of a second. The men's relay team (Soza, Whalum, Cardinal, Griggs) placed seventh with a time of 42.07.
Both 1600-meter relay teams earned fifth place finishes. The women's team (Perry, Stafford, Nelson, Trevino) crossed the line at 3:51.55. The men's team (Galvan, Garibay, Prado, Idziak) finished with a time of 3:15.41.
The teams will find out who will attend the 2013 NCAA Outdoor Championship in Pueblo, Colo., in the coming weeks.

Lesson of the day: Don't mess with Richard Simmons. The curly-haired aerobics guru allegedly slapped a man who made fun of his videos while waiting in line in a Phoenix airport, according to Reuters. Though the man was described as a ''burly'' professional athlete -- he participates in cage-fighting matches -- he chose to press charges Wednesday night rather than fight back. Police ticketed Simmons for misdemeanor assault, according to Reuters.
''[The man] apparently said, 'Hey everybody, it's Richard Simmons, let's drop our bags and rock to the '50s,''' Sgt. Lauri Williams told Reuters. ''Mr. Simmons took offense and said he had to 'bitch slap' him.'' Simmons' manager had no immediate comment on the incident, according to Reuters. Any chance Simmons will settle the matter by making a ''Sweating to Cage Fighting'' video?

Seasonal summary and greetings 26 Dec 2009Posted by Tony Law in Insight services, ITasITis, Managing IT, Technorati.
add a comment
Briefly …
To all occasional and regular readers: I hope you have had a very happy Christmas (that's yesterday, as I write) and will have a good and successful New Year.
A couple of the year's highlights were the Satyam debacle, mid year, and the announcement of Gartner's acquisition of AMR Research, a month ago. The Satyam post on this blog still regularly tops the list of most active blogs and is by some distance the most read post in the last year. It's followed by the article discussing the attempt to create a national directory of cellphone numbers, which fell at the privacy hurdle; and by my note on reCaptcha, which I use to protect the email address on my main website. Interesting what catches people's attention!
And our coverage of the Gartner-AMR acquisition has been running at a high rate although it's only had one month to rack up hits. Best wishes in particular to AMR clients, who are welcome to review our webinar; I'm away right now but I'll update with the link in the next day or two.
Happy 2010!
• Satyam: an analyst case study (5 Feb 2009)
• Cellphone directory project pulled before launch (11 Jul 2009) – 118800.co.uk is still off the air
• Recaptcha uses one problem to crack another (27 Nov 2008 but still of interest in 2009)
• AMR clients: action needed!
Google's CIO: creating user choice 15 Dec 2009Posted by Tony Law in Consumerization, Impact of IT, ITasITis, Managing IT, Technorati.
add a comment
CIO Insight features an interview with Ben Fried, CIO of Google, where he talks about his role in today's iconic IT company.
This isn't a summary of the article; go read it (or you can see the video version). I'll just pull out one thing.
Fried talks about the way many enterprises try to take cost out of IT by rigid standardisation. The principle is that if you only have one flavour of, say, development environment or Office suite, then support is easier and your front line staff only have to learn one product.
Fried disagrees with the principle. Creative people, he says, aren't at their most creative if they're constrained to work with a tool they don't like. And he has experience to back up the assertion that today's new generation workforce know they have better IT at home than the office standard provides – and they'd prefer to use it.
At Google, he sees his role as giving people choice. They support MacOS, Linux and two versions of Windows. They like people to use Google Apps, but they have Microsoft and Open Office as well. And so on. And, unlike many of his peer CIOs, he sees this not as a problem but as a cost advantage.
Why? Because the environment is interesting, and higher-calibre people want to work in support there. So more problems get fixed on the front line. And when something gets turned off (this is a real case, not hypothesis) there's limited need for a big change programme. Users adapt, and those that have problems get immediate and effective front line support. "Yes," he says, "you do have to invest in having more expertise in more operating systems, etc. But virtually all of our applications are Web-based, so we don't worry about desktop installs and supporting native applications and clients."
There's a difference between complexity and choice. As some of us have been saying for years, and organisations like Google are proving, offering users choice can drive up effectiveness and drive down overall cost at the same time. For competitive advantage, naturally.

Gideon Gartner: no-one knows if analysts give value for money 14 Dec 2009Posted by Tony Law in Impact of IT, Insight services, ITasITis, Technorati, Uncategorized.
add a comment
Thanks to a contact at Ovum (ex Butler Group) for sending me this link.
As part of the launch sequence for the newly rebranded Ovum family of services, Ovum have a series of videos out and one of them is a "fireside chat" with the patriarch of the insight services industry, Gideon Gartner (who I met a number of years ago when he was still at the helm of his second company, Giga, later acquired by Forrester Research). The IIAR have posted the video on their blog, or you can see it in one go from Ovum themselves.
The conversation between Gartner, Jonathan Yarmis of Ovum, and David Rossiter of the IIAR centred on the future of the insight services sector. It's a rare chance to see Gideon Gartner in the (recorded) flesh, and worth watching just for that.
About five minutes in to the second part of this video (it's split in two on the IIAR site) the talk turns to value-for-money. Gartner points to the fact that fees have risen at a steeper rate than the market has grown.
He reckons eighty or more companies are paying Gartner (Inc.) a million dollars or more a year, and says simply: "No-one knows if they are getting value for their money".
Gideon Gartner's solution is an alternative model: a form of payment by results where the clients use every firm there is; and vote retrospectively how to apportion their fees, based on perceived value delivered.
Apparently it works for Wall Street financial analysts. But remember that most of most insight firms' income is from vendors not enterprise users, and I guess that's where most of those $1M spenders come from. I can't see Gartner (Inc.) being willing to work that way. Or most of their competitors. It seems a highly subjective process, and one that would be open to challenge in many ways.
What I can envisage, and InformationSpan knows how to deliver, is measurement of the usage, quality and perceived value of services among the enterprise user community. End users – the IT team members who actually use the research to define their strategy and shape their decisions – have an instinctive feel for value, and there are a fistful of questions that can be systematically asked to turn this into more objective metrics. And if you truly know how the service is performing then you can drive usage and shape your buying decisions directly.
Gartner (Gideon) is of course right that few clients understand what they mean by "value" from an insight service, and even fewer know how to measure it. If you want to know more: ask us!

Avoiding solutioneering 8 Dec 2009Posted by Tony Law in ITasITis, Technorati.
add a comment
Solutioneering is a term invented by a New Scientist writer many years ago. It describes the process of applying a pre-determined solution to a problem which doesn't really exist, or not in the form the solution expects. A Google search on the term shows that it's now in quite wide use.
One classic example from that original article was the installation of fire doors in London schools, to mitigate the consequences of potential fires. Sounds sensible, except that in the preceding fifty years or so there had not been a single instance of a child being injured in a fire in a school. After the doors went in, there was a spate of injuries due to trapped fingers and so on. The "solutioneers" actually made things worse.
I shared this with my friend Nigel Harrison of Performance Consulting and he's spotted a great example of how to avoid solutioneering. I hope he won't mind if I reproduce his email in full.
Last week on Radio 4 I heard a representative from the NHS reporting on the findings that one out of ten prescriptions by hospital doctors were written incorrectly. He said that it was thought that the reason must be inefficient knowledge in prescribing amongst new doctors.
Thank goodness they took a diagnostic approach and looked for the real reasons before implementing a training solution. The investigating team found that there was no difference between new and experienced doctors. They both had the knowledge required. It was only that mistakes occurred in highly stressful situations: not helped by the fact that the prescribing sheets were all different.
The NHS is now implementing a standard prescription form across all hospitals, something they did in Wales five years ago! When I heard this I thought it was a good example of avoiding solutioneering.
Happy consulting
Regards, Nigel
Gartner+AMR: free webinar Monday 14th Dec [update] 2 Dec 2009Posted by Tony Law in Insight services, Managing IT, Technorati.
4 comments
The hot news this week has been the decision of AMR Research to allow itself to be bought by Gartner, per my preceding blog post.
If you're an AMR client you will already be aware of this, and be thinking about your action plan. If you're a Gartner client in the ERP and Supply Chain space, there will be direct consequences for your service too. But even if you are a client of neither, you should be thinking about it if ERP and Supply Chain are in your area of responsibility.
This is urgent! AMR and Gartner say they intend to operate as a single service from January 1st. In the three weeks to the holiday break, you need to decide your strategy and take some important actions.
Join InformationSpan and Lighthouse Analyst Relations for a webinar which is focussed specifically on your needs as enterprise users. We will explore the likely consequences for the two services, and for you as enterprise users. You will take away a list of clear actions for the immediate future and for the coming year, and you will learn how we can help.
Date: Monday 14th December 2009
Time: 3pm UK time (7 am Pacific, 10 am Eastern, 4pm European)
Who should attend: AMR clients; Gartner ERP/Supply Chain clients; SC and ERP IT leads; those responsible for insight service portfolios; IT procurement leads looking after insight services and/or ERP and SC systems
How to register: link to follow; in the meantime, send email to us at InformationSpan
AMR clients: action needed! 1 Dec 2009Posted by Tony Law in Insight services, ITasITis, Tech Watch, Technorati.

Today's news: AMR Research has agreed to be acquired by Gartner. The news is up in a note on AMR's and Gartner's websites, and thanks to Sage Circle and Lighthouse for blogging it fast!
AMR (and Gartner) clients: your action list is further down! Contact InformationSpan for insight in your own specific case. Attend our webinar, now on Monday 14th December: see following post for details.
There will be plenty of comment in the coming days but as someone who's worked with both providers in the past, and understands the user's point of view, I offer some immediate reactions.
Most importantly and most clearly, Gartner have decided they needed to acquire expertise in supply chain research where AMR are an acknowledged leader. This doesn't look like a deal to buy up the competition, as the META Group acquisition was late in 2005.
None the less, the META acquisition may offer guidelines to how Gartner will handle this (interesting, this, since Dale Kutnick of META is now a Gartner SVP). Gartner will, presumably, merge AMR's mainstream work into its own ERP and Supply Chain Management portfolio where there are around 20 existing analysis such as Andy Kyte, Jim Holincheck and Thomas Otter.
I haven't carefully analysed AMR's published staff list, but it's about 60 strong and divided between the analyst side and custom research/consulting business. So clearly there will be some analyst shakeout, initially with analysts who choose to leave AMR rather than move, and then later with those who don't accommodate well to Gartner's way of working. AMR's distinctive podcast style will presumably disappear into Gartner Voice, and the Supply Chain Top 25 awards may or may not continue …
But the delivery models of Gartner and AMR are somewhat different. Gartner's focus is on the individual IT manager or executive, and Gartner for IT Leaders doesn't have a Supply Chain role. Will they use the AMR acquisition as the nucleus of one?
The press release says that the services will operate as a unity from 1st Jan 2010. But that's a very short timescale and I'd expect some issues to be unresolved for at least another quarter.
So if you are an AMR client, here are some must-do actions. Quick reactions are needed, because AMR expect the deal to close this month – that is, by year end. AMR themselves offer "business as usual":
If you're an AMR Research client or prospect, your research, client services, and sales contacts will remain the same. All are being retained by Gartner. There will be no changes to our research agenda or announced roster of webcasts, podcasts, and customer visits.
But there must be a limit to this before things get aligned to Gartner's business models, sales processes and delivery mechanisms. Think about what happened with META Group's excellent and almost self-contained Architecture Strategies service.
1 – seek an urgent meeting with your account representative. Ask what the future is for your AMR seats in the new Gartner world, both for the duration of your current AMR subscription and, more importantly, beyond it. How does pricing compare? How long will you continue to have access to AMR's delivery model? Will Gartner suggest that you move your users to GITL seats? Will you get access to Gartner for the unexpired portion of your AMR subscription?
2 – also, ask what your representative's own future is. Will they continue as your Gartner representative? If so, where will they be based and what will their reporting line be? If not, who will take over – and how soon can they arrange a meeting to introduce you, before the change happens over your head?
3 – Of course, if you have existing relationships to particular AMR analysts, you want to know if they intend to stay or move on. Ask them!
4 – Start to get to know the Gartner analysts in this space. If you're not a Gartner client, use the blogs – the InformationSpan Analyst Blogs index, with its topic index and our specialised Gartner Blog search, will help
5 – If you're a Gartner ERP/SC client, some of the same questions apply. Ask what the impact will be of the AMR acquisition. Will there be new delivery elements, particularly a new focussed GITL service? Will your existing Gartner account manager continue on the job?
6 – if you have contracts with both organisations, ask for a refund once the integration takes effect.
7 – take note of Gartner's and SageCircle's webinars on 3rd December; these are directed more towards the vendors' Analyst Relations teams than enterprise users
and 8 – watch out for supply chain start-up insight services, resulting from the shake-out of the two analyst teams. On past experience (think Giga-Forrester or META-Gartner) there will be some AMR analysts who prefer to go independent than migrate into Gartner's style, processes and organisation. As Lighthouse comments, there will still be a market for second and third opinions – and, I might add, for global specialists in the AMR mould.
Both firms also have consultancy and custom research teams; if you have a current project, there may be an impact here too. Check!

"a government that continues to put students first when it comes to resourcing the education system." When this last, dubious statement is considered in the big picture, the broad perspective, we find that our government equates student first with paying above top dollar for advanced new schools while cutting bus service to the bone, to the point of forced error. This government serves the construction industry before students.

Durden was instrumental in the success of Viking Range Corp. over the last two decades and was a highly regarded figure in the U.S. appliance industry, including many years of service to industry association AHAM. He served as AHAM's board chairman from 2004 until 2006.
When Durden passed away in January 2011 he was already on the list to be inducted into the Hall of Heroes this year. With his passing, the web site's Board of Advisors decided to move Durden to the top of the list - with the approval of the inductee already named to that spot. That inductee, although working for a Viking competitor, agreed whole-heartedly to moving Durden to the spot.
Liston Durden will become only the second inductee into the newly established Hall of Heroes after Fred Carl, who founded Viking Range Corp. in the late 1980s.

Athletes travel the world to swim, bike and run in the biggest Ironman triathlons around the world, including Ironman World Championship in Kona, HI. Get the scoop on a few Ironman race courses.
The Ironman World Championship is the ultimate test of mind, body and spirit. Only the best triathletes converge on Kailua-Kona, HI, to embark on this 146.6-mile journey. Officially, there are 63 half-Ironman triathlons and 31 full-Ironman triathlons held around the world -- the biggest competitions are the Ironman World Championship, Ironman European Champion, Ironman US Championship and Ironman Asia-Pacific Championship.
In California, Lake Tahoe's Ironman competition begins with a 2-loop swim at historic Kings Beach. Athletes hop on their bikes and then finish competition with a run along one of the most scenic stretches in the world.
Head to Taupo, a 45-minute flight or an easy 3 to 4 hour drive from Auckland, New Zealand. This Ironman competition attracts international athletes from more than 35 countries. Taupo has become an increasingly popular venue for sporting events because of the town's compact size, clean environment, central location and friendly community.
In the summer, hundreds of athletes head to Bolton, England, to challenge themselves in the Ironman UK. Triathletes must embark on a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and run 26.2 miles to the finish line. In case you didn't know, Bolton is located 10 miles northwest of Manchester.
Before running 13.1 miles through the Panama City's Amador Causeway, triathletes must swim 1.2 miles in the Pacific Ocean -- at the entrance to the Panama Canal -- and bike 56 miles, crossing the Bridge of the Americas en route to the Pan-American Highway.
Ironman Lake Placid is the 2nd oldest Ironman competition in North America. It's usually held mid-summer in the Olympic Village of Lake Placid, NY, where more than 20,000 people converge on the town. Athletes take a 2.4-mile swim in Mirror Lake, a challenging 112-mile bike ride through the Adirondacks Mountains and a 26.2-mile run, circling the downtown area 4 times.
The Ironman Asia-Pacific Championship in Melbourne -- the sporting capital of Australia -- is usually held in March. With the spectacular city as the backdrop, athletes take a 2.4-mile swim in Frankston, a 117-mile bike ride on the EastLink Tollway and a 26-mile run along Port Philip Bay to finish the grueling challenge.
If a full Ironman is too much, then head to Racine, WI -- located 30 miles south of Milwaukee -- to participate in the half Ironman. Triathletes must swim 1.2-mile along North Beach in Lake Michigan, bike 56 miles through the rolling countryside of Racine County and run 13.1 miles through the Zoo and surrounding Lake Michigan coastline.
Los Cabos -- located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula in Baja California, Mexico -- is known as a great place to relax and unwind, but on March 17, 2013, athletes will converge on the resort town for its first Ironman competition. Nearly 1,500 participants from more than 50 countries are expected for the inaugural event. The course will include a swim in the Sea of Cortes, and then a bike ride and run along a 20-mile corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.
In Madison, WI, more than 45,000 spectators line the Ironman course through Wisconsin farm land and the downtown streets of state capital. The finish line is the most recognizable of all the US Ironman events; it is located in front of the Wisconsin state capitol in the heart of Madison.
Cozumel -- located in Quintana Roo, Mexico -- is often a port of call for many cruise lines, but this fun travel destination is also host to the Ironman Cozumel and Ironman 70.3 Cozumel. Like many Ironman competitions, the Cozumel Ironman awards a predetermined number of slots that will allow athletes to participate in the "granddaddy" of all Ironman challenges, the Ironman World Championship in Kona, HI.
Ironman Arizona, set in Tempe, begins with a swim in the Tempe Town Lake, followed by a challenging 3-loop bike course through the Sonoran Desert and then competition wraps up with a spectator-friendly run around Tempe Town Lake and Papago Park.
Welcome to Coeur d'Alene, the 2nd largest metropolitan area in Idaho. While wiping the sweat from their brow, athletes take a dip in beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene and a become eyewitnesses to spectacular views of rural northern Idaho by bike and on foot.
In August, the Ironman Louisville, KY, takes triathletes on a course through some of the city's most scenic areas, including Waterfront Park, Oldham and Henry Counties and the city of LaGrange. Their journey ends with a finish line celebration at Fourth Street Live, an exciting entertainment and retail district in downtown Louisville.
Busselton -- a 2.5-hour drive from Perth, Australia -- hosts 2 Ironman competitions, Ironman 70.3 Busselton and Ironman Western Australia. Ironman 70.3 Busselton is held in October as part of a big festival, which includes the Kids Triathlon. Ironman Western Australia is held in December, when athletes swim Busselton Jetty, bike through Tuart Forest and run along Geographe Bay and through the heart of Busselton Township.
More than 2,000 athletes compete in the waters of Lake Zurich during the swimming leg of the Ironman Switzerland Triathlon in Zurich. In the 2nd leg of the race participants hit a challenging bike course with a breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps before ending the competition with a run on the shore of the lake.

Cardiff City midfielder Aron Gunnarsson believes team-mate Heider Helguson can help fire the club to promotion this season.

Helguson's eighth goal of the season put Cardiff into the lead as they beat fellow promotion hopefuls Hull City 2-1 on Saturday.
The striker won the Championship title with QPR in 2011 and Gunnarsson is hoping he can help Cardiff to achieve the same this season.
He said: "Heidar is an important player for us. He played a big part in getting QPR up. He scored a lot of goals there and knows how to get a team up the league. Hopefully he will help us do that this year."
Gunnarsson also praised his team-mate's bravery for the opening goal which left him needing treatment off the pitch.
He added: "You're not going to see anyone else go for a header like that, but Heidar is going to put his head in for the team and get a goal. He's a brave player and is good to have in the team.
"His nose was bleeding but he wasn't going to come off - there was no chance of that. He has a lot of experience and we need players like that in this league."

Arizona State Sun Devils
Todd Graham ranks ASU higher than any other coach
Nine days removed from his first Territorial Cup victory, ASU head coach Todd Graham is still feeling like a million bucks.
So much so, that he wasn't afraid for anyone to see just how much he thinks of his football team.
As part of USA TODAY's end of the year coaches poll, every vote cast is open for all eyes to see.
Of the 59 coaches who were polled only two had the Sun Devils among the 25 best teams in college football -- Graham and Arkansas State's Guz Malzahn (a former offensive coordinator under Graham at Tulsa). But ASU's first-year coach didn't just have his team in the Top 25, he ranked them as the No. 20 team in the country.
While ASU did finish on a two-game win streak and finished with seven wins, a five-loss season that included just one win over an FBS team with an above .500 record isn't exactly worthy of a Top 25 vote.
Nonetheless, Graham's unbinding loyalty to his team is admirable at least.

If you saw the number of "drafts" in my posts list you would never believe it.
Seems like I just can't get past a title for a post anymore. I have no idea why. I have bloggers block. It's weird too, cause I love to blog. I love to write and I love my dogs so what could be better than writing about my dogs? Still. . . no words come.
I still read everyones blogs, and love them. But for my little neglected blog there just seems to be no words.
So it got me thinking, Why did I start blogging? Who do I write for anyways?
The answer might seem selfish, but I started blogging for me. I started keeping a record of the lessons I was learning for me.
So what's the problem?
Sometimes I bog myself down in feeling like I have to link to everything possible, have stunning pictures in every post, never have ONE typo-gasp! A typo! Then I got bogged down in the commercial aspect, the details of Google Analytics and SEO's and paid posts. Making my blog into something that the "whole world" could find valuable or something silly like that.
But you know what? My favorite blogs to read are not always the technical training blogs, though I do love those. Most of the blogs on my blog roll are the daily stories of you and your 4legged friends. When I loved my blog the most thats what it was too.
I need to go back to that original goal of keeping a record of the adventures of my pups for me. I hope that means someone along the line will still be able to learn from our lessons, but if not, I still have it for me.
It's not that I don't want to be a resource for all the loyal readers I have, but I'm not much of resource if I never post. I'm tired of getting to the end of all these drafts and thinking, "Who would want to read this anyways?"
You know who wants to read it? I do!
So in the spririt of reenergizing this blog here's a brief recap of what we've done with our lessons the last few weeks and months:
Magnus is doing good. He doesn't understand why he can't zoomy and fetch like always, but his limp is getting better.
Maizey is still my Princessface. She has good days and not so good days. We finished her Tricks for Clicks class a while back and she did great.
Our Training Levels work is going good. I love Sue's new books and am far enough into them to actually start testing through and working on the levels again. I'm loving that.
Magnus got his AKC STAR and now we're making CGC plans.
Lots of exciting walks and training has been happening, although this has been out slowest week in ages since I've had stomach flu and Magnus has that pesky limp.
And while none of this seems that interesting, I know in a year I'll look back and even if I'm still thinking, "Who wants to read this anyways?" I know I'll be reading it and be glad I am!

New gun control bill would require anger management classes
Updated On: Mar 06 2013 11:01:14 PM EST
Florida State Sen. Audrey Gibson explained her vision on a new gun control bill Wednesday night.
Gibson (D-Jacksonville) introduced the bill on Saturday that would mandate gun owners who are purchasing ammunition to take an anger management course every 10 years.
"It is something I am glad people are talking about because it is a public safety issue, for me the bill is about public safety. It simply makes in statute there's a waiting period for all fire arms, which is already in statue for handguns," said Gibson. "The other small part of the bill that seems to be creating the biggest ruckus is the anger management piece that was added that simply says every 10 years you take a 2 hour anger management course online if you would like, print out your certificate and take that with you before you get to buy ammunition."
Gibson said she's worried about people who stockpile ammunition.
"I have done a lot of research over the past few months on the access to ammunition, if you will, and how people can stockpile it," said Gibson. "It's unsafe for neighborhoods, it's unsafe for law enforcement if they happen to go on a call, and so to me we need some checks and balances to ensure the safety of our community."
"I just buy ammo to go to the range and they should take an anger management class? That's ridiculous," said gun owner Brian Fedor.
Cord Byrd, a firearms rights attorney who also says there is no way Gibson's bill will hold up, calls it unconstitutional.
"It's a little bit insulting," said Byrd. "A little bit embarrassing that a state senator would file a bill that implies that everyone would want to own a firearm has an anger problem. I, as a firearm owner, find that offensive quite frankly."
"The anger management clause is not accusatory, it just allows people to be introspective," said Gibson. "What triggers some of your buttons, I think we all need to know that regardless of who we are, so we would like to see that component added."

The hotel restaurant however was terrible. It offered Japanese food, but they had no idea what it is. Miso soup was more like miso stew and a pork cutlet was served on top of a random bed of iceberg lettuce.
Not very impressivefrom A TripAdvisor Member

The bed was comfortable - the staff in the bar & restaurant were very friendly. Would definitely stay again and plan on looking into their sister properties.
Top Local Tips for San Jose
Winchester Mystery House This is pretty near the hotel and it's a lot of fun. They conduct tours all day and bring guests through the house pointing out the interesting tidbits of Mrs. Winchester's life and home building.
Santana Row Santana Row is a must-do. You can have dinner, see a movie, sit on a bench and hear some free music, play outdoor chess, shop at upscale boutiques and retail outlets, or just find a comfortable, tree-shaded spot to people-watch. There are also some wonderful outdoor wine bars and cocktail lounges, perfect for a drink with friends or just a great place to meet people. We recommend dinner at Consuelo's for some incredible interior-Mexico food—the guacamole with home-made tortillas cannot be missed, and choose sangria over a margarita, unless you are just a tequila fanatic…in which case you can choose to have one made from a nearly unlimited list of premium tequilas. Also, entrees are served a la carte and can be shared—the entrees themselves are not huge, but the sides you order are, so sharing is a good idea! Don't miss the papas (au gratin potatoes) and the torte de enotre, which is a cornbread-like dish to die for!
Shopping and dining nearby Santana Row (upscale shopping and dining, movies) is a short drive away. Movies and some restaurants (Mimi's, Jamba Juice, Starbucks) as well as Target and Barnes and Noble a few miles away in the other direction. Close to freeway access.

McEver closing for overnight work
By Derreck Booth Editor
FLOWERY BRANCH - Hall County crews were closing McEver Road near Jim Crow Road Thursday evening for repair work.
Workers with Hall County Road Maintenance and Traffic departments were expected to work during the closure between 7:00 p.m. Thursday and 6:00 a.m. Friday morning.
The detour is onto Radford Road during the work.
While the closure will end at Friday morning rush hour, it's expected to start up again at 9:00 a.m. and last until it's finished.
According to county public information officer Katie Crumley, the repair involves a pipe that washed out a portion of the shoulder of the road.

Sallie Mae's Tuition Refund Insurance And College Renters Insurance Named University Business Magazine 2012 Readers' Choice Top Products
Sallie Mae is proud to announce University Business Magazine selected Sallie Mae's tuition refund insurance and college renters insurance as 2012 Readers' Choice Top Products. Winners were selected by the editors of University Business from nominations submitted by the readership of the magazine and were based on both the quantity of nominations and the quality of reader descriptions.
"We are pleased to announce the first-ever University Business Top Products list and recognize Sallie Mae for two important products to help schools protect revenues and help students protect their investment in education," said University Business Editor-in-Chief Tim Goral. "The nominations came from a variety of university administrators who have shared their experiences with these products and how they have improved the way their school operates."
Sallie Mae Insurance Services is a leader in providing insurance and benefit programs that help colleges protect their revenue while safeguarding the investment students and families make in their education. Tuition refund insurance reimburses tuition and other related expenses if a student is forced to withdraw from college for covered medical reasons including disability, physical or mental illness. It also offers revenue stability and differentiates schools by providing families protection of their investment.
Also recognized as a Readers' Choice Top Product, Sallie Mae's college renters insurance provides peace of mind to students who live in dorms or apartments. In addition to protecting students against losses to their personal property in the event of fire, theft, vandalism, or other covered causes, Sallie Mae's college renters insurance provides personal liability protection for unintended property damage or injury to others."In partnership with higher education institutions, we're committed to helping families safeguard their investment," said Charlie Rocha, senior vice president, Sallie Mae. "Sallie Mae's suite of insurance products provides peace of mind for families and schools by delivering certainty that their investment is protected."
