Dig Inn recently cut portion size to only 2 sides for the market plate and made the meat portion smaller. This used to be a good value but you will for sure still be left hungry even after ordering their "Big Plate."

WORTH THE EXTA DOLLARS your body wiil thank you. DigInn is consistently the tastiest, healthiest good out there. Regardless of what you order, you know you are eating DELICIOUS and fresh food. I highly suggest the big Salmon Plate wiht sides- you cannot go wrong with ANY of the 3 sides included. The smoothies are also delish! My one disappointment was the side of guacamole- I know it is made fresh but it lacked flavor the one time i ordered it.

Dig Inn's food is good but their service is terrible. They've consistently messed up my order for extra protein every single time. I tried to order spicy meatballs with an additional serving of braised beef and they've missed the extra serving every single time. I can't even call to complain because they never answer their phone. Today the food came 45 minutes late over the delivery time and they messed up the order again.

This place has totally gone downhill. I used to order from Dig Inn all the time. Food was nicely prepared and very fresh. Now, when it's delivered, the food looks like it has been through a spin dryer and it is often cold. I've had to return spoiled gazpacho. I wouldn't be posting this unless it had happened to me on several occasions. Now I think I'm through.

a little over 2 hours for my food. Clearly was cold, but the fact the manager apologized and said next order on the house is a great sign of customer service... I respect that. Update: put in the 'comped meal' order, delivery took 90minutes for a off-peak hour (3pm on a weekday) and had to contact them again to explain that it was 'comped meal'. All the other Dig Inn's are fine this location is just managed horribly. Update: clearly there are fake reviews as the majority are 1 stars and than suddenly 5 stars?

Best quality health food available on Seamless in my area, by far. Consistently spectacular. Skip the "junk food" like guac and chips - go straight for the market plates. Wild salmon salad with sides + house balsamic is excellent. Food like salmon salad is not delivered hot - and it isn't supposed to be. The Refresh Juice and the Sweet Green are also excellent - 5 stars!! Must-try for vegetarian+fish eaters!

I love Dig Inn's food -- healthy and filling and doesn't send me straight into a food coma. But delivery is so hit or miss for me. Sometimes it's fine, though it does take a full hour. Sometimes they skimp on the amount of food they put in. Today, I received a small plate instead of the regular size. I don't want to wait another hour for the right order, so I'm emailing Seamless to charge me for a small plate instead. So frustrating.

Very disappointed! This is the second and last time I will be ordering from the Dig Inn! I decided to give them a second chance after they sent me a small cold dish when I ordered and paid a large. This evening at 9:00pm I ordered a small meatball with three sides, a lentil soup and a choc milk shake. When my order still had not arrived at 10:05pm I called and received no answer. I looked on their website and it says they close at 10:00pm. Just then my buzzer rang and received a melted shake, stone cold soup and a dish of just cold sides! Yup they didn't even give my entree! It's not that hard! I can understand sometimes food gets cold and things melt but forgetting to include the entree is inexcusable! Now they are closed and there is nothing I can do about it, beside reheat my stone cold soup and sides! I don't even want to give them one star but because I can't post a review without giving a star I have to! My guess is they were so busy trying to close by 10:00 they for got to included my entree! - very unhappy and hungry

I'm not a huge fan of the winter vegetables but the other 'build your own marketplace' options are quite delicious and I like the option to add vegetarian chili (or a soup) as a side for a discounted price. Digg Inn is a great option for a healthy, seasonal and sustainable delivery dinner!

I really like Dig Inn. They have satisfying, healthy dishes and great juices. Lighter than most self-proclaimed health focused places but still full of flavor. A little pricey, but well worth the dough.

The food from Dig Inn is good. My problem was the delivery time. I placed an order and it said it would be delivered in 15-30 minutes. After 35 minutes, I called to find out the status of my order only to learn that it hadn't left yet and that it would be another 10-15 minutes. I don't mind waiting 45 minutes to an hour for my food, but just don't mislead the customers to thinking their lunch will be delivered within the half hour. It turned out their general policy was that they don't even begin deliveries until 11 and I ordered slightly before 10:40... so that is something that needs to be corrected in their system.

Enhancing the precision and outcome of dental treatments, Dental Center of Mesa - a family dental practice, uses a 3-dimensional imaging system to help successfully diagnose and perform surgeries on their patients.
Within 14 seconds, the system fabricates 220 images together to create a 3D image of the patient's mouth. The doctor can zoom in and out of the bone and navigate through the interior of the tooth. It can tell what size and how stable the bone is, which is important information that determines if it is stable enough for an implant.
Dr. Jonathan Kalika, of Dental Center of Mesa, makes it the company's goal to help patients, both young and old, with high-quality dental care. He does this by offering general dental care, implants, Invisalign, dental therapy and more. By staying up to speed on the latest technological developments, Dental Center of Mesa can provide quick and efficient services – one of which is the 3D imaging system.
The dental office purchased the expensive piece of equipment less than a year ago. The system allows for the doctor to do surgery twice. The first surgery is performed on the computer by way of the 3D system. If problems occur or are noticed the doctor can adjust it on the screen before performing the surgery on a patient. Less guesswork is needed, which in turn leads to a more successful procedure.
The imaging system emits less radiation – ensuring the patients safety. If an implant is needed, the dental office offers different numbing techniques from the most basic to gas or an IV sedative. An implant appointment lasts for about one hour and costs $1,995. They always offer free consultations and make the effort to meet the needs of those with dental emergencies. Dental Center of Mesa goes above and beyond to ensure a safe, stress-free and efficient visit.

There is a swap meet up in our local mountains every other Saturday. This vendor is usually there, with all kinds of cowboy boots, but he wasn't there yesterday. I took these photos in July. I already have several pair of cowboy boots, but aren't these interesting ones? I just love to stop and look at their designs. Sunday Stills Challenge for September 5, 2010..."shoes and boots".
Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

Former Nationals first round pick Chris Marrero was promoted today to Double-A Harrisburg. Through 112 games this season Marrero is batting .287/.360/.464 with 16 homers and 65 RBI.
Marrero was drafted 15th overall by the Nationals in the 2005 draft as a raw but powerful high school batter. Due to injuries and swing adjustments the 21-year-olds progress has been slowed but it appears now he is on the right track.
Baseball America Prospect Rankings
2007 – #2 ranked for WAN
2008 – #27 ranked MLB
2008 – #1 ranked for WAN
2009 – #3 ranked for WAN
Lets look at Baseball America's top 10 prospects for this year and see how they are doing:
- Jordan Zimmerman – solid rookie season, Tommy John surgery will have him out until 2011 however.
- Ross Detwiler – Breakthrough season. Reached the majors and had significant success, currently 1-2 with a 3.62 ERA in triple A.
- Chris Morrero- see above.
- Michael Burgess- Regressed this year, batting .239/.329/.436 with 19 homers in Potomac. Still only 20-years-old.
- Jack McGeary- Quit school to focus on baseball. Was terrible in Hagerstown but is showing promise once again in Vermont. MUST fix control problems 77K/71BB this year.
- Derek Norris- Mega-breakout-year. Batting .291/.407/.533 in Hagerstown with 23 homers and 76 RBI.
- Destin Hood- Young, dominated the Gulf Coast league with a .330/.388/.614 slot but is struggling in Vermont right now (.254/.337/.324).
- Adrian Nieto-Cuban defect with incredible story, Nieto is only batting .206/.318/.271 in the Gulf Coast League.
- J.P. Ramirez- considered a pure hitter, the 19-year-old Texan is batting .252/.298/.372.
- Esmailyn Gonzalez- Well funny thing about that…now Carlos Lugo, and four years older, he is playing in the Dominican Summer League as he cannot even get a visa. He is batting .271/.416/.410.

Match report
For photographs from the match, scroll to 'PHOTOSTREAM' above left; for statistics click on the tab above
Luis Suarez dealt a huge double blow to Chelsea's Barclays Premier League title hopes after snatching a draw for Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
John Terry looked set to enjoy a dream return to action after his four-match ban when he powered the European champions ahead from a corner at Stamford Bridge in the 20th minute. But the Chelsea captain collided accidentally with Suarez, forcing Terry off on a stretcher, with the Liverpool forward going on to equalise for Liverpool and almost steal victory.
The draw prevented Chelsea from climbing back into second place as they recorded their third league game without a win to lie three points behind Manchester United at the top of the table.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers persevered with his experiment of playing three at the back and brought in Jamie Carragher for his first Premier League start of the season. Liverpool had plenty of the ball early on, but Chelsea's counter-attacking approach almost paid off in the sixth minute when Joe Allen lost possession to Oscar, who was threaded in by Eden Hazard only to lift the ball over the crossbar.
Liverpool, who had won on their previous three visits to Stamford Bridge, continued to probe but conceded from Chelsea's first corner in the 20th minute. Terry was allowed to dart untracked by Daniel Agger to the near post and powered home Juan Mata's delivery.
Another lightning Chelsea break from the lively Hazard led to Fernando Torres' shot being parried by Brad Jones straight to the Belgian, who could not control his volley.
Nuri Sahin dragged wide at the other end before Terry's accident 10 minutes before half-time. The defender gifted the ball to Steven Gerrard and got back to make a tackle on Suarez, who fell on his right leg, leaving him in agony with suspected knee ligament damage.
After several minutes of treatment, Terry was forced to concede his comeback was over and was carried off on a stretcher with his head in his hands, manager Roberto Di Matteo offering a consoling word before he disappeared down the tunnel.
Gary Cahill replaced Terry with the atmosphere flattening until the fourth minute of stoppage-time when Mata's superb run was marred by a rushed finish that sent the ball over.
Allen was booked for bundling over Torres and Glen Johnson followed for obstructing Oscar, whose free-kick saw Jones produce a brilliant reflex save from Torres' header.
Liverpool hauled off Sahin for Suso as they abandoned their back three and briefly had Chelsea under pressure before Torres went close to prodding in Ryan Bertrand's cross.
Mikel nearly got on the end of a Mata free-kick after Gerrard was cautioned for tripping Oscar. Liverpool's substitution paid off 17 minutes from time when Suso's corner was flicked on by Carragher and Suarez nodded home from point-blank range.
Chelsea came straight back at them but the visitors were defending manfully and Di Matteo wasted little time throwing on Victor Moses, for Oscar.
Liverpool looked just as capable of snatching victory before Torres was replaced by Daniel Sturridge.
Suso shanked wide when well-placed, Suarez tried his luck from the halfway line and Ivanovic powered over a header for Chelsea.
Suarez could have won it for Liverpool after racing clear onto Enrique's ball but for a vital challenge from Cech. And after Hazard blasted narrowly wide, Cech came to Chelsea's rescue again in stoppage-time by keeping out Enrique's powerful near-post shot.

Monumental Will Hook You (Despite Its Overused Angle)
The first thought you may have watching tonight's premiere of Monumental Mysteries (Travel Channel, 9pm) is, "Oh, it's that guy." That guy is host Don Wildman, the deep-voiced host of Travel's Mysteries at the Museum.
In Monumental, Don introduces real-life bits of fascinating, kinda-forgotten American history. Each has a tie, sometimes a loose one, to a monument or landmark of some sort.
In tonight's premiere, the most fascinating segment revolves around a gravestone. On it is the name of Mercy L. Brown. It turns out, hundreds of years ago, the teenager became the foundation for what we think of today as vampires. She was then, too.
Mercy was seemingly healthy one day, then just weeks later - coughing up blood - she wasted away to nothing. She had tuberculosis. It also claimed the lives of her mother, a sister and, later, a brother. At the time, her Rhode Island village feared she was sucking that brother's blood from the mausoleum where her body had been stored for the winter.
The town's folk exhumed her body for clues. What they found inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula. And, to this day their findings haunt our collective mind. Mercy did not decompose. And her heart was filled with blood - sure signs of her being a vampire.
The tale is intriguing and well told in Monumental. It's also the best of tonight's segments. Although, each one is good. They include a story about a New York City conman whose deceitful ways led to the expression, "If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn."
Monumental is an entertaining way to learn about little-known histories. It's also just a fun hour of TV.
It stumbles here and there. Notably, the monument angle feels strained at points. And there are moments where you may wish Don's deep voice could go falsetto for a second. But these are minor points in a pretty good show that may just teach us a thing or two.

Healthy Breakfast Ideas, Please
Today I'm sharing one of my favorite healthy breakfast ideas with you: Breakfast Guacamole on Toast. For this guacamole, avocados are pumped up with tang and protein from fat-free Greek yogurt (one of my favorite breakfast foods!). I'm also asking you to give me your own healthy breakfast ideas. Head down to the comment section of this post and help me start the day off healthier. Thanks in advance!
I'm on a quest to discover the perfect healthy breakfast idea. Or rather, a bunch of perfect healthy breakfast ideas. Eating the same thing for breakfast everyday is as boring as waiting for a bus in the burbs, don't you think?
What I'm seeking (beyond variety) are breakfast foods with a blast of lean protein, a serving of vegetables (no fruit. My tongue can't handle much sweetness in the morning) and a bit of whole grain. Why this combo? My body craves protein and grain in the morning. Without them, a grumbling loud enough to make my toddler giggle undulates from my belly and will not stop for hours (that the grumbles keep happening make her giggle all the more). The veg is because I never satisfy my vegetable requirements for the day and so I want to slam some into my morning.
Other requirements for my breakfast foods: They must taste amazing and cannot take long to throw together.
That's not asking for too much, is it?
So far, my favorite healthy breakfast idea is this Breakfast Guacamole on Toast.
What I'd really love (what I really *need*) are some great healthy breakfast ideas from you.
Please help me fill my belly with breakfast foods that will power me up and shift me onto a healthy track. I can't wait to read your healthy breakfast ideas in the comment area below. Feel free to provide links (only one per comment or my spam filter will kick in). Thank you!!!
Get easy tasty recipes every single day by following me on Pinterest:
- 1 slice of multigrain bread
- ½ of a hass avocado
- ¼ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (I snip it into the mix using kitchen shears)
- a squeeze of lemon
- 2 dashes of salt, divided
- 2 grinds of pepper, divided
- Put the bread in the toaster to toast.
- Scoop the flesh of the avocado into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork. Add the yogurt, lemon, a dash of salt and a grind of pepper and mash it all together.

Emkay Global Financial Services has maintained `Buy` on United Phosphorus with a price target of Rs 200 as against the current market price (CMP) of Rs 144 in its report dated Jan. 30, 2012. The broking house gave the following rationale:
Revenue growth of 58% led by exchange impact and acquisition:
UPL reported revenues of Rs 19.3billion, +58% yoy higher than our estimates of Rs 17 billion. 19% positive impact of exchange fluctuation along with 8% price inflation drove revenue growth. Revenue contribution of Rs 3 billion from Brazilian acquisitions also contributed to topline growth while organic growth remains subdued at 6%.
North America (62% yoy growth) and RoW (91%) lead topline growth during the quarter along with pick up in Europe (31% yoy growth). Growth in India however slowed down to 15% yoy compared to 25%+ growth witnessed in domestic markets in last 3 quarters. RoW revenues of Rs 9.3 billion (+91%) are primarily led by acquisitions.
APAT below est due to higher tax and losses in joint ventures:
Consol EBITDA of Rs 3.5 billion, +57% yoy, is higher than est of Rs 3billion driven by higher topline. However EBITDA margins at 18.1% was broadly in line with est. Currency fluctuation adversely affected employee cost (increased by 50% yoy/29% qoq to Rs 1.9 billion) and tax outgo (effective tax rate increased to 33% as against 20-25%). Repricing of income statement and higher profit from India driven by amalgamation of its Mauritius entity adversely affected tax provisioning however the same is likely to reverse with appreciation in INR. JV in Brazil - SIPchem also reported losses of Rs 120 mn as a result APAT at Rs 1.15 billion (+4%yoy) was below our est of Rs 1.5 billion.
Domestic markets growth slowed down to 15% yoy in Q3:
UPL's domestic growth slowed down to 15% yoy compared to 25%+ growth witnessed in domestic markets in previous 3 quarters. As highlighted earlier, we expect domestic markets to remain under pressure in the near term due to declining farm incomes and shrinking farm profitability. However, slowdown in domestic rural markets is likely to have a limited impact on UPL (Q,N,C,F)* due to lower share (20-25%) from Indian markets.
Downgrade FY12/FY13 est and target price, maintain Buy:
Management maintained its guidance of 35%-40% topline growth for FY12 with EBITDA margins of 19-20%. However despite higher topline growth with lower PAT in current quarter and pressure on margins we have downgraded our FY12/FY13 est by 10%/7% to Rs 16 / 19.9. Subsequently we have also reduced our price target from Rs 215 to Rs 200 (10x FY13 est EPS) however maintain Buy on attractive valuations. At CMP stock is trading at 7.2x 1year fwd earnings, compared to average of 13x enjoyed historically.

|I am getting shoots of my passionvine 2-4 feet away from the plant. They are appearing out of nowhere ;-) I have dug up/pulled these shoots and put them in water where they have been quite happy.
My question is, can/should I just keep them in water over the winter or should I pick another location in my garden and hope they take root?
This plant has not produced a flower this season :-( I replaced one that had problems since our hard winter 2 years ago, but may have left some roots from it.

|Looks like you only have a couple months left before the tops get frozen back there in Portland. Some of them might make it, but if you really want to be sure better keep them protected. How about overwintering in soil?
|I have had it run also.
|I have some 15 year old Passiflora caerulea along with some white variety of that species, and the trunks are well over 1" in diameter and have never frozen back in my yard. I would think that depending on the species, there is a reasonable chance the suckers would survive the winter if they had a chance to establish themselves. Been there done that many times, just to give them to friends.

David DeWild sentenced to 12 years for role in murder of twin brother's wife Heather DeWild
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. - The twin brother who pleaded guilty in connection with the murder of his sister-in-law was sentenced to 12 years in prison Thursday.
David DeWild pleaded guilty in connection with the death of Heather DeWild. She disappeared in July 2003, just days before her divorce from Daniel DeWild was scheduled to be finalized.
Her body was found wrapped in plastic on Sept. 24, 2003, by a Department of Transportation worker moving dirt on Highway 6 between Golden and Black Hawk. The body was badly decomposed, but dental records confirmed that it was Heather. The coroner ruled that Heather's death was a homicide.
Daniel DeWild, his identical twin brother, David DeWild and David's wife, Mary Roseanne DeWild, were indicted on charges of first-degree murder after deliberation and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in December 2011.
Charges against Mary Roseanne DeWild were dismissed in October 2012.
In August 2012, prosecutors reached a plea agreement requiring David DeWild to testify against Daniel DeWild.
At his brother's trial, David DeWild testified that Daniel lured Heather into the garage, hit her on the head, tied a noose around her neck and hoisted her up until she was hanging. David DeWild testified he had disposed of the body.
Daniel DeWild was found guilty of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and accessory to first-degree murder. A mistrial was declared on the count of first-degree murder, but he later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
Daniel faces 72 to 75 years in prison when he is sentenced on Feb. 28.

i wore a red scarf, to warm the cold winter. but wore it too long and made the summer stuffy, itchy. now my red scarf has fadded to white with dirt covers tattered and worn, sure i could patch the holes, wash it but the red can never return. i've bought new scarves, green blue grey but never the same as my red. i want to take it off, but i can't. i want to take it off but i can't. it won't leave me and i won't let it leave me. im afraid a blizzard will come and blow me away. now winter has returned once again, and today i take off my beautiful red scarf to lay on the snow in it's final resting spot. i think scarves have a soul, to keep us warm and protect us. scarves are for winter...to keep it forever they die.

The exploitation of Black athletes
An action plan for success
By Everett L. Glenn
Special to the NNPA
Part 3 of 3
WASHINGTON — A description of Rice University's stand-alone major in sports management describes the enormity of the sports business: "Experts conservatively estimate the sport industry at $500 billion a year making it one of the top 10 industries in the nation." Touting its sports management program, George Washington University in the District of Columbia observes: "No single aspect of our culture receives as much media attention nor has the power to bring people together as sport."
It is clear from above that universities are following the money in hopes of their students getting a larger slice of it and, along the way, praying alumni will not forget their alma mater when they write checks to charity.
However, as we've seen in Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, Black athletes are primarily fueling this money-machine at the collegiate and professional levels, yet African-Americans are excluded from everything from getting in on construction contracts, agent representation, media advertising and accounting to financial planning.
This must change. In its TV commercials, the NCAA accurately states most college athletes will turn pro in a field other than athletics.
I hereby submit Community Action Plan #1:
Petition the NCAA to finance a study to determine what happens to the 99 percent of Black student-athletes in college basketball and football who do not go pro.
Some who do turn pro are ill-equipped for life.
One of the saddest spectacles I have ever witnessed was former All-Pro defensive end Dexter Manley of the Washington Redskins testifying before Congress in 1989 that he could not read, write or spell. He was failed at every point in his life from high school and university coaches who allowed him to play football without mastering basic academic skills to the NFL that allowed him to continue on his dead-end path to nowhere.
That's one of the reasons we at the National Sports Authority established our Business of Sport Success program (BOSS). Essentially, we use sports as a vehicle to motivate middle and high school students to complete high school and go on to college by exposing the students to the business side of athletics.
To get our young Black males pointed in the right direction, we hereby submit Community Action Plan #2:
As part of the BOSS initiative, convene a national conference, to be jointly sponsored by such organizations as 100 Black Men and male Greek organizations for the fall of 2014 to address Black male issues, including Black male student-athletes.
As was pointed out in Part 1 of this series, Black athletes represent 52.9 percent of Ohio State University's basketball and football rosters and dominate among its star players, fueling a nearly $130 million athletic department budget on a campus where Black males represent only 2.7 percent of the student body. The disparity between the graduation rate for OSU's Black football players, at 38 percent, and all student-athletes, at 71 percent, represent the highest disparity in the Big-10.
Community Action Plan #3:
Petition the NCAA and each of the six major conferences (ACC, Big East, Big-10, Big-12, Pacific-12 and SEC) to impose sanctions on their members, including the loss of scholarships and/or a ban on bowl appearances, if the graduation rate of Black student-athletes in basketball and football is not within 20 percent of the graduation rate of all student athletes in their respective institutions, commencing in 2016 when the NCAA's new eligibility standards for prospective student-athletes go into effect.
In Part 2, we cited examples from the long list of professional athletes who earn millions of dollars yet, in the case of Allen Iverson, for example, he had reached to point where he said he could not afford to buy a cheeseburger. Again, this is where family and friends true friends, not vultures looking for a soft landing spot can assist.
It was inspiring to see that Philadelphia 76ers rookie Michael Carter-Williams, who is being managed by his mother and her best friend, is placing his entire salary in a trust fund that he cannot touch for three years. Instead of dipping into his salary of $4.5 million over his first two seasons with the possibility of earning $10 million if the 76ers pick up the final season of his two-year deal Carter-Williams is living off of the money he is making from endorsement deals with Nike and Panini trading cards. Other pro athletes should follow his example.
Of course, athletes need stadiums and arenas in which to play. And, like everything else related to the business side of sports, Blacks are missing in action. Our taxes are used to help finance new or modernized sports facilities, but we do not get a return on our investment. Approximately two-thirds of the $21.7 billion spent on the 95 stadiums and arenas built between 1990 and 2000 were heavily subsidized or entirely financed by tax revenues. The carnival of construction taking place today is proceeding without an effective strategy to ensure meaningful participation by Black construction professionals. The National Sports Authority (the "Authority"), of which I am president, was established in last year, in large measure, to reverse this trend.
The entire Black community will benefit if we can redirect just 10 percent of the sports industry spent on goods and services. Such a shift will create new and exciting opportunities for Black accountants, construction professionals, consultants, financial and real estate professionals in the sports industry. It will also have the trickle down effect of increasing discretionary income available to Black professionals and businesses to support institutions and organizations in our community, from the NAACP, the National Urban League, the National Action Network and the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition to Black churches that have been the backbone of our community.
We know from first-hand experience this can work. The National Sports Authority was able to secure more than $25 million in contracts for people of color on the Levi's Stadium project, the new home of the San Francisco 49ers, even though the project was already 60 percent complete and contracts for more than 80 percent of the work had been awarded. On the heels of that experience, our organization has initiated conversations with the principals on the new $500 million Sacramento Kings arena and the $1 billion-plus Atlanta Braves stadium/entertainment center project, with a view towards creating even more opportunities by being engaged from the very start of those and other projects.
Our effort was supported by more than 12 million Blacks who are members of the California Black Chamber, the National Association of Minority Contractors, the Empowerment Experiment, the Fritz Pollard Alliance, the NAACP, National Action Network, the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, the National Baptist Convention, the National Urban League and the U.S. Black Chamber, Inc., as well as the San Francisco and Oakland African-American chambers.
Of course, the problem extends beyond sports.
A Nielsen report, produced in cooperation with the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) titled, "Resilient, Receptive and Relevant: The African American Consumer 2013 Report," disclosed although annual Black spending is projected to rise from its current $1 trillion to $1.3 trillion in 2017, advertisers allot only three percent of their $2.2 billion yearly budget to media that target Black audiences.
To address this and related problems, we offer Community Action Plan #4:
Convene a national conference in July of 2014 jointly sponsored by major civil rights organizations and the U.S. Black Chamber to develop strategies for holding colleges, professional leagues and major corporations accountable for the lack of economic reciprocity in their goods and services they purchase.
As Cheryl Pearson-McNeil, senior vice-president, public affairs and government relations for Nielsen, said, "Until we do a better job as consumers in the choices we make and invest in companies that invest in us, we are not going to have any changes."
We hope you'll join our nationwide effort at the National Sports Authority to empower our community by letting everyone know that sports in more than a game — it's a business.

Moon Southern California
Fourth Edition
Liz Hamill Scott
Moon Handbooks
400 pages
Rights: World
Published: September 2009
About the Book
Writer and native Californian Liz Hamill Scott covers the best that the Southern California has to offer, from road trips through its vast deserts to the glitz and glamour of Beverly Hills. Scott offers many unique trip strategies, such as PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) Road Trip, and provides insight on all the must-see sights. Including expert advice on exploring Los Angeles, San Diego, and the rest of the southern half of the state,
Moon Southern California
gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.
About Liz Hamill Scott
Liz Hamill Scott was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After getting her English degree at local institution Stanford University, she pursued her love of dining and travel throughout the Golden State and beyond. Her exploits included everything from whitewater rafting on the Kaweah River to dining at the French Laundry. When a battle with chronic pain put an end to her rafting and camping trips, Liz discovered wine tasting and spa resorts. To this day, she's not sure which style of vacation she likes better.
In 2008, she made the terrifying leap from overpaid high-tech employee to almost broke full-time freelance travel and food writer. Exploring the length and breadth of California for Moon Handbooks has given Liz the chance to fall in love with her home state all over again. You can read about her adventures in national magazines, Bay Area newspapers, and on the web at www.liz-scott.com.
Liz lives and writes, often chasing her cats away from her computer so she can get some work done, in San Jose.

Cesare Burali-Forti attended the University of Pisa, graduating in 1884. Immediately after graduating he taught in a school but he moved to Turin in 1887 where he was appointed to the Military Academy. Burali-Forti taught analytic projective geometry at the Military Academy where he continued to teach for the rest of his life.
A university teaching position would have been more to Burali-Forti's liking but in this he had difficulties. He was a great believer in vector methods but, at this time, these were not in favour. It is hard to believe from our present view of mathematics that vector methods would ever be less than welcomed. However, at this time many mathematicians opposed vector methods and unfortunately these views prevailed on the committee that considered Burali-Forti's submission for a doctorate. He was failed on these grounds, never tried again, and as a consequence was never able to teach in a university, although he did give informal lecture courses there.
In 1893-94 Burali-Forti gave an informal series of lectures on mathematical logic at the University of Turin. After the course the lectures were written up as a book and Burali-Forti presented a copy of the book to the Academy of Sciences of Turin in June 1894.
At the start of the 1894-95 academic session, Burali-Forti became Peano's assistant at the University of Turin. He was to hold this position until 1896.
The first International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Zurich from 9 to 11 August 1897. Burali-Forti attended the Congress and presented a paper The postulates for the geometry of Euclid and of Lobachevsky to the Geometry section of the Congress.
Burali-Forti is famed as the first discoverer of a set theory paradox in 1897 which was framed in technical terms but in essence reduces to a 'set of all sets' paradox. Cantor was to discover a similar paradox two years later.
As well as set theory and vector analysis, Burali-Forti also worked on linear transformations and their applications to differential geometry.
Not only was Burali-Forti a prolific writer, with over 200 publications, he was also very interested in how to teach mathematics. The "Mathesis" Italian Society of Mathematicians, aimed at school teachers of mathematics, was founded in 1895. Burali-Forti joined Mathesis in academic year 1897-98. He played a major role in the first congress of the Society which was held in Turin in September 1898.
Burali-Forti was a close friend of Peano's but his closest friend and mathematical collaborator was Roberto Marcolongo. Burali-Forti and Marcolongo were called the "vectorial binomial" by their friends. However this collaboration ended when they differed in their views on relativity. Burali-Forti never understood the theory of relativity and, together with Boggio, he wrote a book which claimed to prove that the theory of relativity was impossible.
Kennedy writes in [2]:-
Many of his publications were highly polemical, but in his family circle and among friends he was kind and gentle. He loved music, Bach and Beethoven being his favourite composers. He was a member of no academy. Always an independent thinker, he asked that he not be given a religious funeral.

Nemmers Pitches Knights Past Vikings
DULUTH, Minn. - The MLC baseball team used a strong pitching performance from sophomore Andrew Nemmbers to defeat Bethany Lutheran 3-2 to stay alive in the UMAC Postseason Tournament.
Nemmers pitched a complete game, allowing just the two runs (one earned) on seven hits while striking out seven. He held the Vikings scoreless through six innings, and didn't allow a base runner beyond second base until the seventh.
The MLC bats gave Nemmers some early run support when Galen Holzhueter singled home Jake Ziel in the top of the third inning to give the Knights a 1-0 lead.
MLC added to that in the fifth when it scored twice with the help of two Viking errors to take a 3-0 lead off BLC starter Cory Ferm, who pitched a no-hitter against the Knights just four days ago.
BLC started to rally off Nemmers, scoring once in the seventh and once more in the eighth to cut the MLC lead to 3-2, but Nemmers would hold strong, stranding runners to end both innings, and then stranding a runner at third base in the ninth to finish off the win.
The win bumped Nemmers to 4-1 on the season, giving him three straight complete game wins in his last three starts.
At the plate, MLC finished with eight hits off Ferm. Ziel, Joe Janke and William Jensen led the way with two apiece, with Ziel scoring two of the Knights' three runs in the game.
MLC improved to 14-11 with the win, and advanced to play another elimination game tomorrow at 12 p.m. against Northwestern, which lost 6-4 to St. Scholastica Friday night. Bethany dropped to 14-16 on the season with the loss.

a love story of angelic proportions
a 1980s romance by Nicki Elson
Hey Nicki, Many wonderful reviews on your book, good for you. I was in Chicago for a few days (Three Days?) back in 1967, had a lot of fun there.
Hi: I love the new cover. Decided to self publish "Highway to Love" with Second City Books, a subsidiary of Windy City Publishing. Felt kind of right since Chicago and area is the setting. I'll look forward to "The Anthology".
Loved the book – just finished it! I graduated EIU in 1991. I lived in Lincoln and then Stevenson. Your book transported me right back to college! I have had all these old memories flood back – thanks!!!
Hey Nicki, I see by the comments that your book will be a success and we are glad for you.
Best wishes to you.
The boat shoes look lie Rockport brand.
I gotta chuckle over this because in the 80s I went out with three guys named David. Thank God I didn't marry one.
Reallly random question for you, do you have any idea what brand the 3rd pair of shoes (boat shoes) in the image at the top are?
Ummm…well, I guess I don't know exactly. Sperry Topsider is the only brand I can actually think of. Did Bass do a boat shoe…I'm no help at all, am I? Sorry! But thanks for stopping by.
Finished the book earlier this week…so sad to have it end! I have recommended the book to my book club and have TOTALLY recommended to other EIU alum. I can't wait to discuss with my fellow 80s survivors. I'll have to see about getting a picture of the book taken in some scenic Arizona setting…or run over to the Jimmy John's at ASU to have it's picture taken there since I've not been back to EIU in almost 20 years. Thanks for sharing your talents and will look forward to your next book! Martha
Yay, Martha! I'm so happy you liked it all the way through. THANK YOU for the recommendations! I myself have been having a blast reliving the 80s w/ readers. Hey, have you seen the Book Clubs tab at this site? I've got a little perk for ya, And I would LOVE to get a picture of Three Daves anywhere in AZ—ASU would be awesome! Thanks so much for your comments; looks like I get to keep on smiling.
Saw the article in the alum magazine and knew I HAD to order. I was a freshman in Lawson Hall in '86 – so this story has completed enticed me…and is making me dig out old pictures and remember all those fun times at EIU, Regency Apartments, Jimmy John's, Cracker's, Marty's and the gallons of Aqua Net hairspray used…just to name a few. What fun romp down memory lane and the nod to the late '80s is making me miss my irresponsible youth. Fun and great book!!! Haven't finished yet – and will be sad to when the book ends.
Hi Martha! I'm giddy that you are enjoying the book so much and that it's bringing you back. It's been so exciting to know EIU alumni are reading it, but also so nerve wracking to wonder what they think of it – so THANK YOU for taking the time leave this comment. I'll be smiling the rest of the weekend because of it.
Hooray Ka3yn! I'm thrilled that you'll be reading the book. I was back on campus at homecoming and saw that all the haunts depicted in the book are still there. I hope you have fun picking them out!
I just read the EIU alumni magazine, and I think it's awesome that you've written a book that included a fictional EIU as the setting. As a fellow EIU graduate ('05), I can't wait to read your book!
I've misplaced my alumni magazine, so I don't know Crackers and the other places faux names. If you could tell me I'd really appreciate it. I'm giving your book to my son, Brigg, who graduated in '87, for Christmas.
Yours truly,
Mary Finley
Oh my,
I had no idea you were an author of a published Novel. Interesting things Twitter reveals. Honestly, I will try to put an eye out for your novel, I am quite comfortable in reading your writing style.
Alex "Haissan" Cantrell
I'm thrilled about the audio book version coming in the future! I will put a reminder in my calendar to check with you again in 6 months to see if it's available. I'll definitely have to buy it rather than my usual library renting. Thanks for your quick response.
I can't find the blog about Jim Terdina's App??
I was wondering if you were going to publish an audio book version of "The Three Daves."

Ikea Threw Up on the Train
Thank goodness this is not a NYC subway car. However, I'd imagine it can't be that far behind.
This little gem is from the Toronto subway system, and I discovered it on this Canuck blog. In a recent advertising move, Ikea launched a campaign up there in Cana-dee-a.
They took over an entire train and decorated each car in "Ikea style" decor. You can see the pictures, if you can stomach it, by clicking here.
How long until that crap shows up on the S train?

Ph.D. Defense of Dissertation Announcement
Title: Integration of Computational Methods and Visual Analytics for Large-scale High-dimensional Data
Jaegul Choo
Computational Science and Engineering Ph.D. Student
School of Computational Science and Engineering
College of Computing
Georgia Institute of Technology
Friday, January 4, 2013

Large-scale high-dimensional data analysis is becoming important in many areas with an increasing amount of collected data. One approach to analyze this data is by using fully computational methods, and the other is by leveraging humans' capability via interactive visualization. While the former can deal with large-scale data, it lacks deep data understanding, which may be critical to the analysis tasks. On the other hand, the latter can give the insight about the data, but it suffers from large-scale of the data. Even with a clear motivation to integrate these two approaches, little progress has been made. To tackle this problem, I claim that computational methods have to be re-designed both theoretically and algorithmically and the visual analytics system has to expose these computational methods to users so that they can choose the proper algorithms and settings.
To achieve an appropriate integration between computational methods and visual analytics, the thesis focuses on essential computational methods for visualization such as dimension reduction and clustering, and it presents fundamental improvements of computational methods as well as visual analytic systems involving such improved methods.
For the improvements of computational methods, the contributions of the thesis include:
1. Two-stage dimension reduction framework that better handles significant information loss in visualization of high-dimensional data.
2. Efficient parametric updating of computational methods for fast and smooth user interactions.
3. Iteration-wise integration framework of computational methods in real-time visual analytics.
On the other hand, the latter parts of the thesis focus on the development of visual analytics systems involving the presented improvements, such as 4. Testbed: an interactive visual testbed system for various dimension reduction and clustering methods, 5. iVisClassifier: an interactive visual classification system using supervised dimension reduction, and 6. VisIRR: an interactive visual information retrieval and recommender system for large-scale document data.
During the defense presentation, I will put more emphasis on my recent research, such as 3, 4, and 6 than the rest.

Send an online photo to your sponsored child, aging friend
November 27, 2012 at 8:00 am Unbound 13 comments
By Shanxi Omoniyi, CFCA online content manager
We keep hearing wonderful stories from those of you who have logged into your online sponsorship account and used our eLetter feature to send an online letter to your sponsored friend.
One of the most frequently asked questions we have received since launching the eLetters in 2011 is "When can we send a photo with these?"
The answer is: Right now!
Here's a step-by-step guide to sending your next eLetter with a photo attached:
- Go to the eLetters page at www.cfcausa.org/eLetter.
If this is your first time logging in, you'll need to register your account first. See our step-by-step guide here.
Your screen should look something like this (I've grayed out my sponsored child Victor's middle and last names for privacy reasons):
If you have more than one sponsored child, you can use our dropdown menu to select the one you'll write to first.
Choose a letter template and write your letter. (Your message is limited to 1,300 characters, including spaces.)
- Attach a photo.
On the right-hand side of the screen under Victor's picture, do you notice the little camera icon with the words, "Attach a photo"? (We also have a red arrow pointing to it on the screenshot.)
Click on the green "Browse…" button to browse to the file you want to upload, then follow the instructions to upload it.
NOTE: We have a limit of one photo per eLetter. The photo will be inserted into the eLetter once it's made into a PDF.
Questions? If you need help with your login or navigating these features, our Sponsor Services representatives can assist you. Just call 1-800-875-6564 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

This is such great news! Thank you tech gurus and all the awesome CFCA staff!!!
Thanks to all at CFCA for adding this feature. I often insert a photo in my own computer generated letters to my sponsored child, but it is great to know that we can also do this in e-letters.
Thank you so much for adding photos to eLetters!!!! I have a hard time finding time to print pictures and get to the post office to mail letters, now I can just hop on my computer and keep in touch with my sponsored child. I have a 13 month old son and finally sent a picture of him to my sponsored child today thanks to this new feature. I'll be able to keep in touch with my sponsored child so much easier now!
I just sent a letter to my "Child" and attached a photo. If it gets to him as I see it here, I will be greatful to the tech people for setting this up. It looks GREAT!!!
I love to see that this feature was added! I am curious though, will the picture be printed in color or in black and white?
I am so happy to know I can send a letter and picture by e-mail. We had not had a chance to send a card for Christmas, but we were able to write & send a photo today on Christmas. How long does it take for our sponsored child to receive an emailed letter?
Hi – I have not yet used this feature. Can it be done anytime of the year? If so I will try it.

For four days in the middle of July the Office of Student Life's Administrative Assistant Whitney Retalic rode her new mountain bike from Bear Mountain, New York, to Boston (approximately 350 miles), more than 3,000 other people in Tanqueray's Northeast AIDSRide to raise money for the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, the Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center, and Fenway Community Health Center. The ride more than met its goal, raising over $6 million, and, thanks to the generosity of the PMC community, Whitney raised more than $2,500 herself.
"I was able to participate in one of the most remarkable displays of humanity," Whitney said. "If I hadn't experienced it for myself, I would have said it was unbelievable. I made friends who got me through the long days and high mileage. I met people who had lost family members and other loved ones to AIDS. I met others who had not been directly affected by HIV or AIDS, but just cared enough about those who had to get on their bikes and ride for 350 miles. I rode alongside many "positive pedalers," riders who, themselves, are HIV positive.
"I witnessed hundreds of riders line the road at dusk," Whitney continued, "to cheer on the last riders coming into camp after the 107-mile day. I slept in a mobile city of 1,000 tents and showered in a semi-truck each night. I met volunteers who woke up at 3 am each day and worked straight until 9 pm to make the experience for us riders, and I believe that many of the volunteers worked much harder than I did, and they never touched a bike."
Whitney first became interested in the fight against HIV/AIDS in 1999, while studying in Namibia, when she interned at a nonprofit organization offering HIV/AIDS education and patient services in the country with the second highest rate of AIDS infection in the world. The experience impressed her with its urgency and its compelling need.
After completing her education at Wellesley College, Whitney began to work in PMC's Student Life Office. Here she met Continuing Studies student Dawn Doucette, a senior who has been living with HIV for more than nine years. Dawn reawakened Whitney's commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS and inspired her to commit to the AIDSRide. Dawn had faced and overcome a series of obstacles, and at the age of 26, had returned to school. She is now in the process of trying to figure out how to professionally utilize her life experiences and the strength and wisdom they have given her.
It is estimated that almost 500,000 people have HIV/AIDS in the United States, and more than 34,000,000 are infected worldwide.
