And most of us agree that DD is back-up quality at this point in his career. Now he's being talked about as the starter. This raises no eyebrows with you?
It does me.
Get well soon 80.
Still I dont think it means anything to be saying "this guy is the starter" when its three days into training camp.
But that is also largely the giants way, they almost never start any draft picks as opening week starters.
THEY decide what the criteria is based on their belief in its validity in determining the quality of the line.
YOU claim that these are the go to services for this, and yet they differ tremendously.
Get well soon 80.
You may be right about the statement made 3 days into camp. But if DD is the starter week 1 and Pugh is a healthy back up, I say that is a huge disappointment to the FO.
Get well soon 80.
As I said, both give the giants a top 5 run blocking grade.
What they give the OL in penalties or pass blocking or anything else, is irrelevant

Boston Celtics' EuroTrip dates announced
Shortly after Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett first arrived in Boston, the Celtics took a preseason EuroTrip which was said to help them form a tight bond prior to a season that would eventually yield 66 regular-season wins and one NBA title. The Celtics also benefited that season from having three superstars very close to their absolute primes, a supporting cast that included the shooting of Eddie House, the all-around whatever-it-takes game of James Posey, the dangerous LeGlen DaPowe combination, and the bruising (not to mention clutch-shooting) P.J. Brown. The '08 Celtics' succeess wasn't entirely a result of that EuroTrip, I promise. (Note: that's another thing Scotty doesn't know)
Another trip to Europe is in the cards this summer, and the details were announced on Monday. (ESPN Boston)
Oct. 5 – Celtics vs. Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul – Ulker Sports Arena, Istanbul
Oct. 7 – Celtics vs. EA7 Emporio Armani – Mediolanum Forum, Milan
Back in April, Celtics coach Doc Rivers expressed a desire to do the team's full camp overseas, not just the quick two-game trek.
"I love when we go [away for camp]," said Rivers. "I've always liked it, if it's done right. And we will find that out later — we don't know if we're going to go over there and be our training camp, or if we're going to do the quick trip. I'm not a big fan of the quick trip. I think when you go over there, go over there, and have camp there. I think it's a great team-bonding trip. I'm hoping that's what we do, but that hasn't been clarified yet."
At this point, I don't care where the Celtics hold training camp. I just want Avery Bradley to participate in it, and I want him to have a slew of talented teammates.
P.S. — Let the "if Kevin Garnett returns, he's going to be in enraged heaven playing so many Europeans" jokes begin.

I'll finally have the chance to see the Cs in person, even if it's just an exhibition game

Love reading about your first day. We hadn't met yet, but Billy and I were also at the spa raffle. He did about 5 minutes on the elliptical while waiting. I don't think I can do that long, even without any tension set.
I was chuckling at your Dina comments, and Jim questioned me. I think I may get Jim to read your report!
As Linda said, great to read about what we "did" the first day, since a lot of it matches.

What??? Page 2 and NO mention of pizza yet?!?!?!?!????
I must go back and re-read the beginning of your TR, as I thought you said you departed on the 8th of December and were writing this TR while actually on the cruise. I must have missed the portion of the TR that indicated you were on a month long cruise!
I guess that means.......we wait......

That was a risk that we took, we had no idea how that would turn out. Of course it turned out great. I don't think all the tables had as good a time as ours did...but we sure had alot of laughter with us. So I guess it is likely hit or miss. but you can always ask to be reseated if it doesn't work. I got stuck with a bunch of Canadians...and somehow made it through. HA! just kidding guys!
And to think that on a couple of nights the Canadian contingency outnumbered you....just saying....

Day 3: First day at sea
My number one goal (other than trying something new every day) was really very simple. As much sleep as possible. I think that is a good goal, and one that I will continue to strive toward. You know, you have to have goals!
DW decided to hop up and go work out. I know, i know, she is a little bit crazy, but you do have to love her, don't you? I, of course, slept. Again, I feel that once you set a goal you need to strive to meet it! This is part of why a balcony was important for us, DW gets up earlier than I do, and with a balcony she has a place to go to hang out while I sleep. We had a guarantee indoor cabin when we booked, so we didn't know if the balcony would be there for her to use. But on Black Friday I picked up a 7" Samsung tablet for her to use on the cruise should we be on the inside. This was key because her Kindle doesn't have a backlight on it .and I loaded it up with the books from her Kindle. I gave this to her as a present on the first day although I don't know that she will use it. The big disadvantage of the tablet is that it is hard to read in the sun sometimes. So I don't know how much or even if she will use it. Luckily I bought it at Costco and in the first 90 days we can take it back for any reason. Nice. That's why I belong! . Ha! I wrote this on like day 4...and no she didn't use the tablet. It will be going into the box and back to Costco most likely.
On another note...and about the balcony. The rooms have a privacy curtain that can be pulled across to give privacy (thus the name) to the king bed area. So when DW would get up she would close that curtain, open the curtain to the balcony and go out. But she didn't close the black-out curtain to the balcony...and that privacy curtain might as well be a white sheet. It was like having the sun shine on you. Took a couple of days of me whining and complaining for her to slip out and leave the black-out curtains closed. If only I could figure out a way to make DW sleep more!
but I digress (as usual!).
I did eventually make my way out of bed and it was up to BBB for buffet breakfast. If you have read any of my TR's you know what I had to get. Yup, big plate of bacon and syrup to dip it into. you betcha. The only issue was that at least on this day the bacon was so crispy that it was hard to not just crumble. This was unusual for our past experience! But I still enjoyed it as I am on vacation! woohoo!
After the Buffet it was back to the room as it was time to do some FE delivery.
DW sorting the FE gifts
I forgot to mention that we decorated our door. Here is what it looked like. I think a few people have mentioned the paint on the door getting so thick that the magnets do not stick as well. A tip for this...make sure your printed magnets do not bend in your luggage. A few of ours did and they fell out continually. In fact we moved a ton of magnets to the inside doors as they fell off. I think we had more door magnets inside our Stateroom than outside.
Oh, and another digression, not sure if I will talk about this later, but when we were decorating a women walked by and asked about the magnets. She also asked if we had any extra which we did...so I gave her a couple and she went away happy. Little bit of for her!
And I also needed a shower. TMI, I know. But we lovingly call the showers on the Wonder and Magic the Shub. Shub - by definition and originally coined by Sleepydog whom I have never heard from since the first TR that I ever read years ago (and loved because this guy was absolutely hilarious!). Shub is not quite a shower, and not quite a tub. Shub.
but alas I have discovered a tip for you all. While I'll try to redo tips from past cruises, it has been quite a while since I have discovered any brand-new, never before read or written tip for all of you. Or at least for the larger people in the world. I'm 6' 4" 230ish pounds (the exact weight is irrelevant, and lord only knows what I will weigh after the cruise is over! Ahem. But anyway I was taking a shower in the Shub, and it is annoying (to me) because the curtain in constantly on my arm, and since my arm is wet it is sticking to my arm and just gets in the way. So at some point I pushed it away from me and created a little pocket of curtain outside the tub (the bottom of the curtain was stuck to the inside of the tub, but it hung outside. Some water had gotten there and it held for a minute *without touching my arm*.
Ah, that was nice. So I grabbed a couple of the shampoo bottles and dropped them in several locations along the tub, moving the curtain out about 2 inches which was perfect. No more curtain sticking to me. yeah! I know this sounds silly but trust me if you are on the Wonder or Magic..you are going to want to do this to give you a little extra room! DW doesn't care. But she also isn't 6'4" and a lot of pounds like me. Good to be short. ha! I'm sure I'm going to hear about that one! Mainly because she isn't short...except to mountain giants like me.
*******tip about the tip***********
so DW tried this. When you do that there is water that gets in the little loop you created with the shower curtain. So when you are done with your shower, take out the two (or more) bottles from the shower curtain and pull at the bottom of the curtain. This will pull the water into the tub, rather than dumping it all over the floor like DW did. I stepped into the bathroom which was also the house for our rolling cooler full of beer and ice and the floor and towel were SOAKED! I thought maybe the rolling cooler leaked more than normal...but noooooo, it was DW on the attack!
Anyhoooo, it was back to FE delivery and off we went. DW was intent on getting the FE gifts done ASAP, and so we had FE stuff all over our floor organized.
Here is what I did while DW did all the sorting work. Yes, I was a lazy bum.
so I think I kind of covered what we did there was an envelope painted black and red to look like Mickey to store your cruise stuff, the older kids got clipboards customized and painted with their names, etc, coloring books for the younger set, and a music CD for everyone. Again, it took up an entire suitcase. So we will be much lighter on the way home!!
After walking the halls and delivering FE gifts (and noting that it is really cool looking down the hall at all of the Mickey envelopes. We had to put them on top of the fish so it was like the whole hallway was decorated with Mickey Mouse. Pretty cool looking, and had I thought of it I would have taken a picture. Note the lack of picture so you can draw your own conclusion there! ), we headed to Cove Cafe for a seminar on detox. And no, not detox as in getting drugs out of your system. I would suppose this seminar counts as something I have never done.
It was upstairs in Cove Cafe which I didn't even know existed before today (the upstairs portion, not the Cove Cafe itself, I'm not that dense!). There is a circular staircase inside. Who knew. While I'm at it, there are also little snacks in there as well that you won't find anywhere else. And that don't cost anything. My favorite through the cruise were chocolate chip squares on a stick (sometimes it was oatmeal raisin). But good stuff nonetheless, and not to be missed!
We made our way upstairs where the folks in charge of the exercise room proceeded to tell us about the toxins in the world. I could bore you with a ton of information about the toxins, or I can just ask you these three questions. 1. Do you breath? 2. Do you eat? 3. Do you drink anything? If you can stop doing those things you are in good shape because pretty much anything you eat, drink or breath brings toxins into your body. While I don't disagree with their assessment, what can you do? They did sell some pills that you could take (naturally rice wrapping with seaweed type of things inside), which costs about $100/month. It takes about a year to do the full treatment. In their defense, they did not push what they were selling, that only came out when someone asked if you could but the stuff at your local pharmacy or whatever. Naturally the answer was yes, but that it would not be as good. Not sure if I will use this knowledge or not but it was pretty interesting. The main part of interest was that when your liver starts to get clogged with toxins it starts to store the toxins in your fat cells and surrounds the cells in water to keep them separated from the rest of your body so the toxins can't hurt you. That is why some of us have a stomach that is hard to get rid of no amount of exercise can affect certain areas of your body because the water keeps your bloodstream from using the fat stored there. No wonder I have a problem! I like this as a way to divert attention from all the food I eat. So if you detox that causes your liver to start working normally again and it will then release the water around those cells so the fat can be burned. Hmmmm. I ended up boring you even though I said I wouldn't. My bad.
The spa offers a treatment which will get rid of the water around these cells and it will reduce 1-8 inches around your body. It's the water that they will get rid of and note that it will come back if you don't do something about it. Needless to say I didn't want to spend the money at the spa so no idea if it reduces the size of you or not! But now you know when they talk about reducing inches....it's water you are getting rid of, not the fat. I need someone to be able to remove the fat in an hour...and no I'm not doing Liposuction!
At 1pm we went to the Gold and Platinum Castaway Club reception. We hung out with Lindy and Denver at the reception. Remarkably those two apparently were not put off by the cocktail sauce all the way up to my elbows in embarkation day! They brought around a few appetizers (whew I was really concerned that there wouldn't be food there, it's hard to find food on the ship), and fruit, etc, and mimosas. Always good to take advantage of the free alcohol. Even though I won't likely drink all that I brought on board. Ask DW, I'm a firm believer in having it and not needing it vs. needing it and not having it! The reception was ok. The officers walked around and chatted with people. We talked to Captain Thord for a few minutes but that was it. Mickey and Minney arrived, did a little dance together and posed for pictures for a few minutes. All-in-all I wouldn't rate it at the top of my list of things to do, but if you don't have anything else to do then why not? And again it was something I have not done. Chalk that one up too!
After that we headed back to our room I changed into my workout clothes it was time to exercise. I headed down to deck 4, cranked up my tunes and headed out. Rack this up as #3 thing (or is it #4, I'm losing count)I had not done was walk all the way around on Deck 4. I had been in the area where the anchor is, but had never been on the other side where you kind of wind around. The walk, in general, was good. but there were several incidents. One was when I was trying to get by a couple that was walking very slowly. I said "excuse me" and the lady looked like she wanted to kill me. Apparently it was wrong for me to want to walk faster than they were. another time a woman was walking the wrong way. Not really sure why, other than she apparently just wanted to. This is no big deal most of the time, but some of the areas in the stern of the ship are pretty tight .and even by the bow where the last one happened. This was with a woman that was jogging she had gone the same way as me for a long time, and then apparently needed to go the other way so she was running the other way. I came around a corner and nearly took her out luckily we both moved pretty quickly ok, she moved quickly and we didn't get hurt. Seriously people the thing says to go one direction. It's not that hard! . I ended up walking 4 miles. I was pretty proud of that. I'm writing this particular section in the second week of my cruise and I'd like to say I had repeated that feat during the cruise but uh no so much. ha!
When I got back we ordered the all-hands-on-deck cheese platter, and DW wanted to order some Buffalo wings which we had not ordered before. They both arrived very quickly but apparently lost in the translation is the buffalo part of the buffalo wings. These were honey barbecue. However, they were very good and we would definitely order them again. The cheese platter, however, was lacking in Brie cheese. I think you get one maybe two small slices of Brie. We would take care of that another day. Taking care of this proved quite simple...just ask for extra of what you want. We asked for extra Brie the next day and got so much that we ran out of crackers. So we asked for Extra crackers and we were all set. Extra Brie and extra crackers. Remember it!
Now it was time for dinner, With my glass of wine in tow. Dw had (according to her journal) shrimp cocktail, onion soup, angus fillet and creme brûlée. Apparently I don't rate high enough to make it into her journal anymore..but I know I also had the onion soup which was way to strong..almost like they had boiled it down for to long.
I continued to throw my crazy humor at Dina...she seems to be picking it up. We spent a couple of weeks in Australia a few years ago so we talked about that a bit. Also found out she has a boyfriend on the ship and he is from Cartehena, Columbia...so she will be getting off the ship to meet his family. Pretty cool timing there!
We ran back to change after dinner, we were going to go to the show, but wanted to pop into Diversions to watch some of the Patriots/Texans game on TV. When we walked in the Patriots were killing the Texans but shortly after they started doing badly. apparently we were not very good luck! We had a show to go to so we headed out, hoping we didn't kill their chances!
The show was The Comedy and Ventriloquism of Kevin Johnson. This was the show we got a preview of the night before. The show overall was very funny, except he moved away from the puppets and had a kid up on stage trying to be funny with that. I didn't like that part as much as the puppets and feel he should have stuck with them. But it was overall very good, one of the better shows we have seen on the ships. Now thinking back I wonder if Disney told him that he had to interact with the crowd in some way so he had to do that. I don't know for sure, but it was just kind of a weird part of the show. Funny thing is we ran into the kid who was up on stage over and over again after that.
If you have ready my TR's, you know that frequently we do not make it to the later shows. I'll admit it .I'm really quite lazy. I can be in bed by 9 if possible. But we had decided we would try to go to the late shows, and tonight at 10:30 was an adult show called Buckets & Boards. This consisted of two guys who did some drumming on plastic pails and tubs mixed in with some guitar playing and attempts at comedy. Mediocre at best in my opinion. And no reason for it to be an adult show either. This is one I would skip if given the opportunity again, which I will be tomorrow! They are the main show on Tuesday.
way beyond my bed time, it was time to hit it quick snap of our animal towel and it was off to bed.
An angel. This angel stayed up the entire cruise.
Sorry about the lack of pictures...this will change deeper into the cruise. Sea days there just isn't much to take pictures of!
Next up: Day 4: Cabo!

Just wanted to clarify a few things for everyone (including you, Drew). For the FE gifts, I had ordered 60 clipboards for the kids thinking it would be way more than enough since at the time, not too many people had signed up for the exchange. Well, I was wrong! I think I was like 7 clipboards short, so I had to figure something out. I decided that the oldest 3 teen boys probably would not want a decorated clipboard, so I got them some collapsible water bottles, candy and some brain teaser cards. For the 4 youngest babies, I found little Disney books. Not coloring books, reading books. I have a picture of all the clipboards, but I think Drew put those on our other computer, so he will have to find that picture and upload it. I really liked how the clipboards came out, so now, for my clients who have kids, I will be making them clipboards as well to go in their gift basket. And I know Drew says he was lazy and didn't help with the FE (he actually did the music CD, so he did do something), he did help distribute the gifts which was no small feat!

Netspar Discussion Paper No. 03/2012-007
The ability of consumers to make informed financial decisions improves their ability to develop sound personal finance. This paper uses a panel dataset from Russia, an economy in which consumer loans grew at an astounding rate - from about US$10 billion in 2003 to over US$170 billion in 2008 - to examine the importance of financial literacy and its effects on behavior. The survey contains questions on financial literacy, consumer borrowing (formal and informal), saving and spending behavior. The paper studies both the financial consequences and the real consequences of financial illiteracy. Even though consumer borrowing increased very rapidly in Russia, the authors find that only 41% of respondents demonstrate understanding of the workings of interest compounding and only 46% can answer a simple question about inflation. Financial literacy is positively related to participation in financial markets and negatively related to the use of informal sources of borrowing. Moreover, individuals with higher financial literacy are significantly more likely to report having greater availability of unspent income and higher spending capacity. The relationship between financial literacy and availability of unspent income is higher during the financial crisis, suggesting that financial literacy may better equip individuals to deal with macroeconomic shocks.

MSHA Alumnus named Baptist Memorial Health Care CEOJason Little, UAB Master of Science in Health Administration Class 33, has been named CEO of Baptist Memorial Health Care effective May 2014. He replaces Stephen Reynolds who retires after 19 years as BMHC CEO.
Little, who is 39 years old, is currently the company's executive vice president and COO. He will be the fifth president and CEO in BMHC history. Little joined the organization in 2002 serving as administrator and CEO of three Baptist hospitals before being elevated to senior vice president and metro market leader where he oversaw seven metro-Memphis hospitals and NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital.
Former U.S. Surgeon General to address graduating Physician AssistantsFormer U.S. Surgeon General Regina M. Benjamin, M.D., will give the commencement address to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Physician Assistant program graduation ceremony. Benjamin, an alumna of the UAB School of Medicine, previously spoke at her alma mater in 2012 to kick off National Nutrition Month.
The PA program, housed in the School of Health ProfessionsDepartment of Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences, is ranked among the top 25 graduate programs in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. They will graduate 45 students at the Dec. 13 ceremony. Program Director Rick Kilgore, Ph.D., PA-C, says Benjamin, who practiced medicine in Bayou La Batre, Ala., prior to her 2009 appointment as U.S. Surgeon General, recognizes how important PAs are to medical care.
"She has worked with PAs since she first went into practice and she understands that PAs are an integral part of a medical team," said Kilgore. "She plans to tell our PAs that they have a unique opportunity to promote healthy lifestyles for their future patients and the best practices to make a direct impact on their patients' health."
The graduation ceremony is 6:30 p.m. Dec. 13, 2013, in the Harbert Center, 2019 Fourth Avenue North. The event is invitation only.
Modern Healthcare names SHP Executive Doctoral student 2013 Up & ComerHenry Thompson, FACHE, CEO of the Community Health Center of Richmond and student in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Executive Doctor of Science Degree in Administration - Health Services, is named a 2013 Up & Comer by Modern Healthcare Magazine.
Thompson, who turns 40 in January and is on track to graduate the School of Health Professions' executive doctoral program in 2016, told the magazine "educating the patient to make smarter choices once they leave us" is the biggest challenge in primary care.
"The UAB executive doctoral program has enabled me to look at policy issues and challenges on a macro or health system level, so that I can position my own organization to overcome those challenges in ways that will have lasting benefits for our community," said Thompson. "I've also enjoyed learning from and interacting with other healthcare leaders from different areas of the industry and other parts of the country, as we have shared strategies and ideas for overcoming health policy challenges."
The magazine says the Community Health Center of Richmond, a federally qualified center on New York's Staten Island, filed for bankruptcy in 2005, four years before Thompson took over. Today the center "has reduced expenses by 10%, had its fourth consecutive year of operating surpluses in fiscal 2012 and has received $16 million in federal, state and local grants" and Thompson says they are in the process of expanding from one to three facilities.
HCMSA Helps Build Habitat for Humanity HomeThe UAB Healthcare Management Student Association participated in a Habitat for Humanity project in early 2013. Madeline Patterson, Tiffanie Jenkins, Noelle Cheeks, Gabriel Welch, Kenric Duncan, Courtney Bibb and Aaliyah Edwards worked from 8 a.m. - Noon on the house located in the west Birmingham neighborhood of Ensley. The group was responsible for priming and painting the inside of the house, putting siding on the outside of the house and placing shingles on the roof.
"Before that day I only knew one of the people in the group picture but we were all laughing together by the time we were done and even went out for pizza afterwards," said Duncan. "It was a great bonding experience for us as a group. Some of those in my group are still my good friends today and the workday made me want to get more involved with my major's student organization."
Respiratory Therapy Students Walk for a BuddyThe University of Alabama at Birmingham Respiratory Therapy Class of 2015 participated in the Alabama Buddy Walk for Down syndrome on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013. The students, along with family and friends, walked in honor of Cornelius "Neal" Spencer, the cousin of Class of 2015 student Ashley Johnson. Down Syndrome Alabama's mission is to promote awareness, acceptance and advocacy for individuals with Down syndrome of all ages.
Pictured in the group shot to the right L/R: Katie Floyd, UAB; Amy Atkinson, UAB; Kristin Woodard, UAB; Ashley Johnson, UAB; Toni Spencer, Neal's mom; Neal Spencer, walk honoree; Nyralon Johnson, UAB; Rhiannon Carroll, UAB; Marissa Wicker, UAB; and Emily Cherry, UAB. Walkers not pictured in the group shot from UAB are Casey Skorowski and Kelly Parker.
The event, established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society, is held every year to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October. The walk was held at the Hoover Met and included a Line Dance Party with up and coming country singer Dylan Scott and his band. The money raised at the walk goes to the Down Syndrome Alabama supported programs including the UAB Adult Down Syndrome Clinic. The top group in the local walk raised $18,000. Nationally, the Buddy Walk has raised more than $11 million since its inception.
Vice receives Children's Miracle Network Hospitals highest honorJon Vice, associate professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Health Professions, recently received the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Founder's Award. Each year, CMN cofounders Marie Osmond, John Schneider, Mick Shannon and Joe Lake recognize and award one individual whose time, talents and contributions help children. Vice has been a member of the CMN board of trustees for nearly 20 years combined including serving as chairman from 2000-2002.
Vice, director of professional and industry relations in the Department of Health Services Administration, formerly served as CEO of Children's Hospital and Health System, Milwaukee. From 1977-79 he served as administrator of what is now known as Children's of Alabama. He is an alumnus of the UAB Master of Science in Health Administration (MSHA Class 7) program.
Physician Assistant students receive white coatsThe University of Alabama at Birmingham Physician Assistant Program held its White Coat Ceremony for the Class of 2015 on Oct. 4, 2013, at the Margaret Cameron Spain Auditorium. In front of family, friends, faculty and students, 58 first-year PA students were presented the traditional short white coat by members of the Class of 2014.
The PA Program Director Rick Kilgore, Ph.D., told the class, "We are celebrating the next step in your career that in most cases will define your future. The White Coat Ceremony has many meanings but does symbolize the conversion of a lay person into a member of the healthcare profession."
PA students collaborate to serve community health needsEvery month students from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Physician Assistant Program participate in a health screening as part of an interdisciplinary program at UAB. The School of Dentistry, in partnership with the schools of Health Professions, Medicine, Nursing and Optometry, received a renewal grant through the DentaQuest Foundation to continue a program designed to train healthcare students to work with other professions.

I don't know where this story came from, but I love the way an unsuspecting traveler finds himself in the middle of a miracle. Jerry is on his way to Chicago on business and prays, "Please God, do me a favor. Let there be an empty seat next to mine, I don't need any distractions." Instead, he is seated next to a young boy named Michael, who is traveling unattended and he is scared. As the jet prepares for takeoff Jerry says to Michael, "Right about now, I usually say a prayer. I ask God to keep the plane safe and to send angels to protect us."
The holidays are just around the corner, bringing many joyous gatherings and heaps of delicious treats that show up everywhere. Often, we resign ourselves to the many weeks of inevitable indulgence and resolve to get back on track after ringing in the New Year. This year, why not make a resolution now to adopt some healthier habits through the holidays?

Holiday season is here, there is not a better time to focus on food like Christmas sweets and Christmas meals. Maybe your memories are of ham, turkey, venison, sauer bratten, tamales, ravioli, pierogies or whatever. We all have memories of Christmas that may include special cakes, pies, gingerbread or candies. Fellowship with family and friends with good food is what makes the season special. It seemed like we ate all day on Christmas.

£1.9M to Develop Technology for Social Change
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Lancaster University is leading a £1.9m Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council project to build the next Twitter or Facebook with the potential to change the world.
The social media boom has transformed our lives, shaping everything from the way we shop and socialise to how we do business.
Change-hungry citizens have also turned to mobile digital communications during key world events from the London riots and the subsequent 'clean up the streets' campaign to the so called 'twitter revolutions' in Tunisia and Egypt.
Although existing social technologies coupled with mobile computing have been extremely effective in promoting citizen-led activism, they were not designed specifically for it.
Designed From Scratch
In an ambitious project launched this month, researchers will set about developing completely new technology, designed from scratch to support people who want to do more with their iPhone than click on a Facebook 'like' button.
The three year project (called Catalyst) will look at how different communities use technology to tackle major problems in order to understand the limitations of existing tools. Then, in a series of six short-term 'research sprints' running back to back, they will design and build six prototypes of next generation tools more suited to the job.
Catalyst brings together a team of academics from a range of disciplines including social science, computing, design, environmental and management science. A range of community groups will also be recruited to form an integral part of the research team
The project - which was one of four out of 140 to secure funding nationally - will also seek to understand what stimulates people to participate in active citizenship in the first place.
Citizen-led Innovation
Project leader Professor Jon Whittle of Lancaster University's School of Computing and Communications said: "Recent events mean that now is both an opportune and critically necessary time for citizen-led innovation. On the one hand, society has experienced a massive global economic crisis. We are all being asked to do more for less and one consequence is that citizens are now expected to become more active participants in solving local problems.
"On the other hand, governments in both the UK and US are opening up public data in a drive for transparency that puts information into the hands of citizens in a way never before envisaged.
"We have become highly skilled at using the web to influence people in order to market products and make money but what if we could use it to make the world a better place?
"We hope that by tackling a series of quick research projects throughout the life of the project we can begin to build on the collective field of knowledge in this rapidly changing area of communications."
Catalyst will work with partners in Lancaster, Manchester and Northern Ireland to develop next generation systems that empower citizens to create bottom-up, innovative solutions to societal problems. Catalyst will also focus on widening the research to communities across the UK. This will be facilitated by two organisations - the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) and Community Matters.
The project will bring together a group of social scientists (sociology; anthropology), computer scientists (mobile computing; web2.0; distributed systems), management scientists (consumer behaviour) and designers (innovation).
Catalyst was launched on November 22 2011.
The Catalyst project is holding an Ideas Lab on 14 December which will bring together community organisations and academics to form project ideas. More information can be found on the project website.

I had the Fathom LV
Posted by: ByronWalter on Oct-05-12 4:25 PM (EST)
...and was amazed by the amount of junk I could fit in that small kayak. I put my sleeping bag and sleeping pad in a dry bag and wedged that in the cockpit ahead of the foot pegs. That left tons of room for everything else.
My Eddy/RockPool makes for a tighter fit for gear than the Fathom but boy, does it ever work nicely in rougher water.
Maybe next month I'll get to try the Raven as well and see how it holds up to my Alaw, which sets the bar pretty high.

Biographical Sketch of Rev. W. A. Brewer
Posted By Dennis On In California,Michigan | No Comments
No man has been more closely identified with the growth and best interests of San Mateo County than Rev. W. A. Brewer, Mayor of Hillsborough and, until its discontinuance a few months ago, rector of St. Matthew's Military School.
Mr. Brewer is known throughout the State for his tireless energy in putting the county in the foreground. He was one of the organizers and the first president of the San Mateo County Development Association. As its executive he contributed perhaps more than any one individual in putting this organization on its firm basis and in bringing about the achievements and accomplishments for the good of the county that marked its first year.
As Hillsborough's first and only Mayor, Mr. Brewer has given his town a progressive and business-like administration that has made it a model in city government. Mr. Brewer was active in bringing about Hillsborough's incorporation and was one of the leading figures in many conferences that preceded the molding of the scattered countryside into an ideal suburban city.
Rev. W. A. Brewer was born in Detroit, Michigan on June 2, 1863. In September 1895 he was married in San Francisco to Miss Ellen Douglas Wheaton. He has two sons, William Augustus, Jr., aged 15, and Wheaton Hale, 18, a student in the University of California.
Mr. Brewer is an Episcopal clergyman and is now pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Burlingame.

Item: Kennedy not long for council: Also squelches mayoral rumor/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press
More Info: Kennedy supported McEuen Field's reconstruction, now well underway. He is the second of the four park supporting incumbents targeted in the recall not seeking re-election. Mayor Sandi Bloem is the other. The two remaining council members, Woody McEvers and Deanna Goodlander, haven't declared. City Councilman Dan Gookin (pictured) said McEuen Park will be a mandate this election, as it was in 2011. He said regardless of what incumbents say, a major decision not to rerun is because victory at the polls will be hard to achieve over of the public's dissatisfaction with McEuen Park. "I think that's absolutely why they don't run," Gookin said. "They don't want to face an angry mob"/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
Question: Do you think that, deep down, Mayor Sandi Bloem and Councilman Mike Kennedy decided not to run for re-election because they feared facing fallout for supporting McEuen Field reconstruction?

Rocky Mountain Escape - Contact the owner
Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Vija is extremely responsive, and helped me in many situations now over the past seven years dealing with joint custody issues. While they may seem minor to the outside, they are emotional to the person, she helps keep that in perspective for you, and works with you to figure out the best solution in every situation. PEACE OF MIND with Vija! She's on speed dial until the youngest is 18!

They had the "tools" of what you look for in a hotel; morning breakfast, business center, pool (although it's across the parking lot), fitness center (I was told) - I would NEVER take my family there. They walked into my room to clean twice the day the hot water broke after I had several calls to the front desk while I awaited the repair outcome. No knock & wait for a reply - more announced and slid key into door to open. Unless your looking for cheap lodging and are going to Turner Field for a Braves game - don't go to this hotel. ...

In the spring of 2013, North Kansas City Hospital partnered with the Northland School Districts of Kearney, Liberty, North Kansas City, Park Hill, Platte County and Smithville to become the premier healthcare partner with the Northland CAPS program.
North Kansas City Hospital joins Cerner, Ford and Holland 1916 as charter business partners in the program.
A partnership with the program aligns with many of our Community Health and Wellness initiatives at NKCH, including the youth programs we currently host, as well as the Youth Initiative identified in the Community Health Needs Assessment.
The program is designed to provide high school students in the Northland with a pre-professional, innovative and entrepreneurial education through career oriented experiences that are both hands on and real world.
Northland CAPS students are immersed in professional environments engaging in curriculum developed by industry professionals and program instructors – ensuring that what is taught in the classroom is relevant to the workforce. Learning is enhanced by project work direct from industry partners who engage to mentor students and ensure timely, accurate and real project results.
The CAPS concept originated in the Blue Valley School District. The HealthCare Strand in their program partners with St. Luke's, Shawnee Mission, and physician groups.
NKCH will host 50 students per day on campus; 25 in the morning and 25 in the afternoon. They will be here 2.5 hours per session and will meet in the Meramec Room. The school district provides a Healthcare Strand teacher who will work with the students while on our campus. The teacher will determine the curriculum, and students will earn college science course credit.
While they are here, students will experience our day to day environment and work on projects. An internal NCKH committee will work to coordinate project work with the teacher.

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
This zip line tour is a great way to spend a morning in Cabo!
There are 8 different zip lines that you get to fly down and each one gets better and faster! Getting to each launch area requires a bit of a hike, but you're equipped with a provided water bottle (attached to your harness) and each area has a seating area with more cold water for you to freshen up. The guides are already waiting for you at each zip line and are able to joke around while still making you feel safe and secured. Be sure to try zipping backwards at two of the lines!
The area itself is really neat as well, with huts and colorful areas at which you can sit and enjoy the views. The hotel drop-off gives you enough time after your zip lining adventure to grab a drink and food at the Lion's Den bar if you want. I would recommend a cold beer to celebrate this awesome adventure!
Highly recommend!

I arrived in Cabo a day earlier than my travel companions so while they were flying in I went zip-lining. I have zip-lined all over the globe in Eagle Crest, Alaska, Castries, St. Lucia and Puerta Vallarta too. Believe me when I say these lines are the best! I was not familiar with the method, but all of my experiences have been different. The lines are long and fast. I weigh 280 lbs so I did not have to go in the company of any other participants on the tandem lines. Going backwards provided a slightly more exhilarating experience than I was accustomed to. I loved every minute of it! There is a bit of hiking involved between a few of the lines, but it is well worth it! I would say take the 9:00 AM option, it was scorching hot out there! The pries of food at the cafeteria are a bit steep, so grab a beer while you are awaiting the return of your shuttle and leave the burgers and hot wings be. The photo CD costs $38 for the photos of two people and goes up from there. I went solo so I coughed up the $38. I would recommend this activity to anyone looking to kill a few hours in Cabo.
It was scary but exhilarating at the same exact time, you just have to get over the fear of falling to your death in the canyon. The instructors closely monitor each time someone gets hooked to a line, they make you feel safe. It was great!
Paul S
Some parts were a little challenge to the nerves for the wife at first but we but loved it. Our only problem was we were pressed for time at the end but that was because we came on a cruise ship and had to get back to port before every one else.
Loved it, everybody should try this at least once. The tour guides were great too!
Tour was great! Definitely some misunderstanding about pickup and transportation to the event.
We did the ZipLine at Wild Canyon. It was fantastic! 8 different lines, and they were HUGE. Professional staff and well worth it. The only negative was 2 very long hikes uphill in the heat. I would suggest this tour to anyone with avg. to above avg. physical ability.
A fun thing to do once....bit expensive for what one gets out of though. Not much to see; hiking between zip lines....not something to be done in the middle of summer. But over-all glad i did it once.

The contest gives Saluki owners the opportunity to showcase their precious hounds on an international show level. It will be judged by the Cathy Smith Australian Saluki Club.
Salukis will be judged on the characteristics of the standard of the breed (head, general structure, coat, movement and general impression). The contest also values the Saluki's predominant purpose (hunting, chasing, guarding) and mental condition (brave, dominant).
"After three successful years the show is now established as a regional get-together for Saluki lovers and owners from the UAE (Uninterruptible Application Error) The name given to a crash in Windows 3.0.

"The show gives us the opportunity to highlight not only the incredible characteristics of the breed itself, but to further create public awareness in our proud Cultural Heritage, especially for the younger generations.
Throughout the times and the changing generations, the traditional values and ethics of Arabian Bedouin are being forgotten and it is our duty to preserve and celebrate them for future generations."

Help send a kid to camp
By Moment Palmer
Posted: Tuesday, Mar. 08, 2011
Claire Tate had the opportunity to attend summer camp as a child. As the executive director of POST (Partners in Out-of-School Time), a Charlotte nonprofit organization, she works to help children find productive ways to spend their time when they are not in school.
Summer camp advocates say when children are out of school, they are more likely to gain weight, forget what they learned in school and engage in risky behavior. Camp provides an environment conducive not only to learning, but also to creativity, self-discipline and confidence.
In 2009, POST partnered with The Charlotte Observer (Lake Norman Magazines parent) to launch The Summer Camp Fund. With the donations from this fund, scholarships will provide the opportunity for low-income families to experience the joys and adventures of summer camp. In 2009, the fund sent 138 children to camp, and in 2010, it sent 146. Claire is hoping to send more than 200 children to summer camp this year.
I hope to raise $75,000 more than last year! she says. Last year, the fund raised $60,000.
Donations can be sent to: The Summer Camp Fund, P.O. Box 37269, charlotte, NC 28237-7269, or made online at www.charlotteobserver.com/summercampfund.
