The NCAA announced Wednesday that the NCAA Division II Football National Championship will come to Kansas City in 2014.
"The MIAA is so popular here in this area, we knew that this would be very attractive for our fans and for this community," MIAA commissioner Dr. Bob Boerigter said.
The MIAA's been represented in nine of the last 15 title games. Boerigter's hoping to see attendance rise now that the game is centrally located for the league.
"In several of those years when Pittsburg State and Northwest Missouri State were there, the crowd they played in front of on championship day was the smallest crowd they had played in front of all year. And we want to reverse that trend."
While the game is being moved to a soccer venue, Sporting Park was built with football in mind.
"We've always wanted to do football games," Sporting KC's Chief of Staff Greg Cotton said, "so the stadium itself was designed to be a football stadium as well as a soccer venue."
The stadium already has sleeves in the ground for football field goal posts, and a play clock was in the original design.
Sporting's state of the art facility will also enhance the fan's game day experience.
"It's the most technologically advanced stadium in the world. The things that fans can experience are just second to none," Boerigter said. "Fans are going to be able to download and app on to their phone, and actually watch replays of the game on their telephone while they're watching the action there in Sporting Kansas City Park. That obviously has been unprecedented in Division II."
As Florence, Ala. awaits its final national championship game on December 21st, Kansas City's looking forward to its first opportunity.
"I guarantee you that we'll put on a good show in the stadium and Kansas City will shine beautifully," Cotton said. "And I think everyone's going to want to come back year after year."

THOUSANDS of punters flocked to Cartmel Races for the course's biggest meeting of the year, spread over three days.
The traditional Bank Holiday Monday event attracted a crowd of 16,000 to watch the seven races.
Jonathan Garratt, Cartmel Racecourse managing director, said the bookies did not fare too badly.
"I think it has been mixed; they have had some favourites going in but I'm sure they have had ups and downs."
Punters successfully backed legendary racer Tony McCoy, who appeared on Monday.
Yesterday, too, proved a rare highlight for racegoers as three Cheltenham Festival horses went on parade for Veterans Day.
Chief Dan George, who is trained just a mile from Cartmel by Jimmy Moffatt, was joined by Mister McGoldrick and Hussard Collonges.
"We have had a lot of people who are on half-term holiday but it's also the day when racing enthusiasts from all over the country come and have their day at Cartmel because the course is slightly less overcrowded," said Mr Garratt.
Meanwhile, a racing steward became the first person to join an exclusive Cartmel 'club'.
Officiating at Saturday's races signalled a landmark for Colin Vickers — it meant he had visited every racecourse in Britain.
Cartmel Racecourse chairman Lord Cavendish presented Mr Vickers with a souvenir badge, which coincided with the launch of an I've Saved The Best Until Last club.
Anyone completing a visit to all Britain's racecourses with a trip to Cartmel will now receive one of the specially-commissioned badges.
Mr Garratt said: "When I came here I was amazed how many people said they had been to every other racecourse before they tasted the unique delights of Cartmel.
"I realised that they were saving the best until last."
MORE than 10,000 people flocked to Crooklands at the weekend to celebrate quality local produce.
Country Fest — organised by Westmorland Agricultural Society — showcased the finest food and drink the area has to offer.
Independent food and drink producers and suppliers, who give the region its culinary reputation, tempted the senses at the County Showfield and gave visitors an insight into where their food comes from.
The family event also included a pets' corner, 'meet the farmer', sheep shearing demonstrations, music and dance, a 'grow your own' area, crafts, beer festival, trade stands and dog shows.
Sheep dog trials were a new addition this year and The Westmorland Gazette hosted a wedding fair.
Richard and Barbara Mathews, from Kendal, were impressed with the range of items on sale and stocked up on locally-produced pies.
"We have such a wide variety of food here," said Mr Mathews.
"We have got a lot of farmers who are extending what they do into other products and we like to support them."
Tommy Brady, also from Lancaster, said: "The amount of food that is available is amazing. There are umpteen different types of sausage and pies — you want to buy it all."
Christine Knipe, chief executive of Westmorland Agricultural Society, said: "The sunshine did bring people out on the Sunday and it was very busy.
"The feedback was positive."

I will write this review in 2 parts - the first being about the hotel/staff who are the friendliest people I have ever met!! They made all guests feel welcome and were attentive at all times. The scenery and views are spectacular and well worth upgrading for a pool/sea view. The food is amazing with ample choice both day and night with a different menu every night. Plenty of sunbeds available all day and a relaxed atmosphere throughout.
Secondly we had our wedding reception there and cannot recommend this enough. Alberto (manager) sat down with us to arrange all the finer details however was also available for email correspondence before we left. They went way above what we ever could imagine giving us the best experience. The food again was delicious and was brought out gradually so no guest felt rushed. The reception held on the terrace with trees between us and guests of the hotel so we had privacy. I cannot thank them enough for the whole experience and will definitely be back!!
Mr & Mrs Wright
Lovely hotel, fantastic staff, who couldn't do enough for you and always a cheerful smile. Beautiful food and a different choices every night for the whole of our 2 week stay. Will definitely return and would recomend to all!

truely relaxing two weeks, the view from our balcony was breathtaking. the bay on it's own is beautiful, but throw in Vesuvius & you have a wonder of the world. the hotel staff once you get over the stern faces were very friendly. the only problem was the lack of evening entertainment. if they had a really good singer/band the hotel would have been awesome. special thanks to Guiseppie & his band for putting up with our fussy ways, always gave us a very warm welcome. excellent.
My boyfriend and I stayed here at the end of May for a week, and absolutely loved the hotel. Clean, spacious, relaxing, wonderful staff, nice food and incredible views from the pool terrace. Thank you for a great holiday :)

We have just had another truly memorable stay at the Grand Paradiso we were there the same time last year and everything was just as perfect. The staff are an amazing team who are always friendly and polite and nothing is too much trouble for any of them. We again met some lovely guests and had a great holiday, we will surely be back again. We feel we have found a perfect gem in Sorrento. Many thanks to all the staff, as I said last year you are a great team.
Colin & Rosemary Mellor
We stayed at the hotel last week (w/c 14th May)to celebrate our 25th Wedding anniversary. I can honestly say that we could not have had better service from any of the staff. Nello and Guiseppe were especially outstanding. The standard of the restaurant was excellent. The view from our room of the bay of Naples and Vesuvius could not have been better. We would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone, especially adults.I would not recommend for young children as there are no facilities specifically designed for young ones.

I just listened to an interesting interview on Freethought Radio on Air America. The subject was a woman named Sarah Brasch who works as a human rights lawyer. She talked about what it was like to grow up as a child in the Jehovah's Witnesses.
One thing I didn't know was that they don't believe in Hell. But they do believe in spiritual demons and Satan. Because they don't believe in Hell, they use demon possession and demon spiritual warfare to intimidate and scare their flock, especially the children. They don't dilute this ideology in front of children. Children in the religion, like Sarah was, are plagued with nightmares about demons and always fearful of being possessed by one. She said she feels it's a form of child abuse. (I agree, as would Richard Dawkins).
As a result of her fear, Sarah said she became a zealot, always being the one in her class to raise the most money for their organizations and earn good points. But she was also judgmental of others. She also felt exploited when they had to go door to door to tout their pamplets and beliefs. With a child there, who would be verbally abusive to these strangers at their door?
The turning point came when her mother had a baby and he was very sick and needed a blood transfusion. Her household was very chaotic to begin with, her father was verbally abusive and her mother submissive but highly devoted to the faith. A judge stepped in and the state took her baby brother away where her got the medical attention he needed. He's fine today.
The church also teaches that women must be submissive to their husbands and church elders look the other way when family members are being abused by their fathers and husbands. But they are quick to intervene when issues like blood transfusions come up.
Today, Sarah still suffers from the effects of the mind control and abuse. She said a few years ago she broke her hand and went to the emergency room. She told them she was a Jehovah's Witness because she feared a transfusion. Then she realized what she had done.

JON CARDINELLI and RYAN VREDE analyse the key match-ups and pick the winner of the title.
So the boys got a zero from two return last week, backing the Crusaders' pedigree in the first semi and the Stormers' defensive excellence in the second.
This week someone's going to be right, with Vrede giving it to the hosts comfortably and JC, for the third successive year, backing the underdog. Vrede hopes that it's third time lucky for Cardinelli. A Sharks win would be glorious, wouldn't it?
CHIEFS vs SHARKS, HAMILTON, SATURDAY 09:35
JC: The Chiefs must be feeling the pressure. They will enjoy home advantage this Saturday while the Sharks will be at a significant disadvantage given their taxing travel schedule. The expectation to win will be enormous. If Dave Rennie's side were to lose this match, it would go down as one of the biggest chokes in sporting history. Even if the Sharks had come into this match well-rested, the Chiefs would hold the edge given the balance between their attack and defence. They may not boast many All Blacks in their pack, but the forwards have been excellent in terms of laying the platform and exhibiting the handling skills needed to play a high-tempo game. And in the halfbacks, they have the decision-making nous to hurt the best defences. The Sharks haven't been consistent in this regard, and it won't help that they will be forced to make further changes to their midfield now that Tim Whitehead is unavailable. Sonny Bill Williams will benefit from a strong forward platform, and take his side beyond the gainline to set up further attacking chances. On defence, the Chiefs boast a great record and watch for their terrific line speed, it should cut down the Sharks' momentum. All in all, they're an 80-minute side, and even if the game is in the balance in the final quarter you'd back the Chiefs to win it, as this is when the Sharks will tire.
VREDE: I had reservations about their ability to match the Crusaders' outstanding forwards in set and general play last week, but their heavies were outstanding, sustaining their effort through 80 minutes. Their victory will be built on a performance that calls on that strength once more, with Kane Thompson, Tanerau Latimer, Craig Clarke, Ben Tameifuna, and Sona Taumalolo particularly prominent in the tight exchanges, establishing the platform that has been at the heart of their attacking potency. The Sharks' heavies reached down to somewhere special to produce the defensive performance they did against the Stormers, but 35 000km worth of travel in the last three weeks will reflect in their capacity to resist the Chiefs, particularly in the last quarter. From there the Chiefs' 9-10-12 combination have offered them every attacking dimension possible. Fatigue will have a telling effect on the Sharks' attacking play as well, with their key strike runners to be blunted by the abrasive, organised and accurate Chiefs.
JC: I called the Stormers to win in the 2010 final and the Crusaders to win in the 2011 decider (two away wins in Super Rugby finals) – so to say I'm a dreamer who believes that the fairytale ending is possible is an understatement. The Sharks have certainly given me good cause to believe a win in Hamilton is well within their power. Their victory in Cape Town last week highlighted the belief within the side, and while belief alone won't be enough to win a Super Rugby final, it will certainly give the men from Durban a fighting chance. They are going to fade in the latter stages, so they will need to catch the Chiefs early on and build a substantial lead in the first half. What's in their favour is their superior scrum, lineout and breakdown exponents, and so it would be wiser to force the Chiefs to play a tighter game. They also have a master tactician in flyhalf Freddie Michalak, who will play them into the right areas of the field, and take kickable opportunities be they penalties or drop goals. Finals are typically tighter than league matches, and in this environment the Sharks should prosper. But they have to take their early chances if they are going to end on the right side of the final scoreline.
VREDE'S CALL: I live in hope that the words I'm about to type next reflect how the match will unfold. If, man it's a big if, but if the Sharks' forwards somehow summon the energy, strength, clarity of thought and raw desperation to boss the gainline, they will force the Chiefs to revert to a cavalier approach. Then it's game on. The Chiefs' vulnerabilities have been exposed a couple of times when pinned in their half, and a platform that would allow Frederic Michalak, Charl McLeod and Pat Lambie to drive their side into Chiefs territory, then force infringements through pressure defence, is essential. Michalak has kicked superbly and can steadily grow a lead through his boot if given opportunities. The Sharks have also consistently shown their ability to convert scoring opportunities into tries. Their aim should be a 12-point lead going into the last 20 minutes. Then it's down to their desire and resolve.

GLENSHIRE, Calif. - On Sunday, Sept. 9, Ben Ketron, a Boy Scout with Truckee's Troop 267, supervised 44 Boy Scout and community volunteers, ranging in age from 11 to 78, in the construction of a 60-foot boardwalk on the northeast side of the Glenshire Lake Trail.
The boardwalk is Ben's Eagle Scout Service project, a required part of achieving Eagle Scout status, the highest designation awarded by the Boy Scouts of America. As an Eagle Scout candidate, Ben was responsible for all aspects of planning, design, coordination and supervision of the Service Project.
Ben decided on the boardwalk project after an initial meeting with Dan Warren, general manager of the Glenshire/Devonshire Resident's Association (GDRA), in July of 2011. According to Ben, "Parts of the walking path around the Glenshire Lake get very muddy. Walkers, runners, and other trail users are forced to walk in the surrounding wildlife areas. This project gives trail users year-round access and decreases the amount of harm done to the environment."
Dan Warren observed: "GDRA has worked with many Scouts on their Eagle Projects; Ben's was by far one of the most ambitious. Ben was very diligent in his approach to designing the walkway and seeing the project through. I have nothing but positives to say about Ben and what he accomplished."
Ben received design and permitting advice from Dan Warren, John Svahn of the Truckee Donner Land Trust, Dave Tranquilla Construction, and the Town of Truckee Building Department. With this input, Ben completed all the drawings for the project himself. Once his construction drawings were complete, Ben was able to secure all five OK's, required for the building permit to be granted, in a single day - something of a permitting tour de force! The project building permit involved five different agencies: Town of Truckee Building Department, Nevada County Environmental Health Department, Truckee Donner PUD, Truckee Fire Protection District, and Truckee Sanitary District.
Building the walkway presented its own set of challenges. "The first challenge was to keep people on task," said Ben. "I divided everyone into teams and assigned tasks by age and skill level. This helped to keep everyone focused."
An unexpected challenge was encountered during hand excavation. "The sod was very dense. There was a thick root mat. The digging took a lot longer than we expected," said Ben. Due to the slow excavation, two more days of work were required to complete the walkway and side rails.
Many local businesses and individuals stepped up with generous donations of money, material, or equipment. Donations came from: Tahoe City Lumber Company, Glenshire/Devonshire Resident's Association, Truckee Rotary, Truckee Optimists, The Rock Garden, Prosser Building and Development, the Truckee Tahoe Airport, the Churich Family of Truckee, and the Nevada Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
Ben is very grateful for all the help he received for this project. "This is a very generous community. That's one of the most important things I learned from this project. I also learned that it is important to just talk to people and ask for help. You won't get help if you don't ask." Ben also expressed his gratitude for the guidance and mentoring he received from Assistant Scout Master John Andrews: "John was with me throughout this whole process."
The Eagle Scout Service Project serves to hone leadership, management and citizenship skills. The project must benefit a religious institution, school, or the Scout's community, and as such is part of fulfilling the Scout oath "to help other people at all times." Boy Scout Troop 267 has an exceptionally high number of Eagle Scouts: 38 percent of Troop 267 Scouts attain Eagle status, compared to a national average of about 4 percent. Anyone interested in Truckee Boy Scout activities should contact Troop 267 Scout Master Kevin Bumen at 530-587-7940.

Signal system could ease Lynnwood traffic woes
Samuel Wilson / The Herald
Vehicles drive northbound on Highway 99 between 224th and 200th streets in Lynnwood on Thursday. The city recently received a grant of about $1.8 million to synchronize traffic lights on state highways within city limits.
Samuel Wilson / The Herald
Vehicles drive northbound on Highway 99 between 224th and 200th streets in Lynnwood on Thursday. The city recently received a grant of about $1.8 million to synchronize traffic lights on state highways within city limits.
The city has work planned next summer to adjust traffic lights along Highway 99 and 196th Street SW, also known as Highway 524.
The project should ease congestion and reduce driving times along two of Lynnwood's most-used arterials, said Paul Coffelt, the city traffic engineer.
"It's really the ultimate," he said. "It's what we've been wanting to do with the technology and traffic operations for more than 20 years."
More than 18,000 drivers travel Highway 524 each day, city data show. Highway 99 in Lynnwood sees about 22,500 cars daily.
The traffic-signal project will cost $472,500. That's coming out of about $1.79 million in federal highway grants, Mayor Don Gough said.
"We're starting to implement a lot of that," Gough said. "We've got like five or six different programs operating ... just a bunch of things, all dealing with traffic and transportation."
The project involves installing equipment that enables the lights at each intersection to relay information to one another about traffic volume, Coffelt said.
Then, each signal "knows what's coming and knows it needs to give a certain amount of green to that demand," he said.
The city hasn't had that capability before. It was too expensive, and until recently, the technology didn't exist that could work with Lynnwood's existing traffic-monitoring system, Coffelt said.
The affected areas are Highway 99 between 164th Street SW to 238th Street SW and along 196th Street SW, from 76th Avenue W. to 24th Avenue W.
Lynnwood officials are working with folks in Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds and the state transportation department on the Highway 99 project, Coffelt said. The work isn't expected to cause road closures or delays.
Afterward, drivers should see reduced wait times at those signals, he said. The project shouldn't affect folks who are waiting to drive across the arterials either.
Lynnwood's traffic troubles are unpredictable and happen even outside of commute times, Coffelt said.
"Our congestion becomes spillover queuing into the next intersection, and we wind up with gridlock," he said.
The new equipment will not change yellow-light lengths, Coffelt said.
Some of the intersections that will be affected by the project are those with the city's controversial traffic-enforcement cameras. The new equipment won't change how those cameras work.

He broke into the advertising world early, at age 16, and by 25 he had founded WDFA. Prasad was not only a self-starter but independently minded.

Paul moved from India to Indianapolis with his parents at age eight but he adapted quickly, cutting his teeth as an entrepreneur by mowing lawns and working a paper route. He spoke of the stereotype of Indian parents pushing their children into the fields of law or medicine, but says his folks were supportive when he joined the Army straight out of high school. His 14 years in the service taught him to handle clients at KPaul. "Just give them the facts, don't sugarcoat anything," he says.

Sanghani's first lessons in business came at the age of 13 when his father left his job as a civil engineer to open a motel in Blacksburg, Virginia. His parents came to the U.S. from India in 1979 when Sanghani was only three, and both his mother and father had worked their way up from juggling shifts at McDonalds and 7-11. "My parents didn't have an MBA, and they had no formal business training. The one thing they did know how to do is to work their ass off," Sanghani says. He feels he definitely absorbed a great deal of their work ethic. At the motel, "me and my parents were the night clerks, the desk clerks, the maids, we did the laundry, [we] did the toilets, we did everything." Now Sanghani runs

Pahade was a hair's breadth away from becoming Dr. Pahade when he started his first company as an undergrad at the University of Michigan. Pahade, who is now CEO of Traffiq, an online marketplace for display advertising, had already been accepted to a few medical schools when he deferred for a year to kick start the ad agency Beyond Interactive with some friends. Despite his departure from the med school track, Pahade's parents were very supportive. "My dad was the original and only investor in Beyond," he says. "It was pretty much a tax write off for him at the time [but] it's probably the best investment he's made to date." Pahade's parents can also take solace in his younger brother, who is a radiologist.

Sharma describes himself as "a techie from the get-go," but the CEO of MMC Systems' also has a knack for business. At the age of 12, he started a Web design company in his native Hyderabad. A mere five years later, he picked up and came to the United States all by himself to attend college. MMC, which he became the new owner of in October 2009, provides consulting and IT services to the government and big corporations and the fact that he does subcontracting on the Indian subcontinent gives him an excuse to make biannual trips home to see friends and family. "As long as you're dedicated and understand what you're doing, and have that focus, success will come," he counsels.

She leveraged her work experience at other technology companies such as Digital Equipment Corporation to launch the IT company clearAvenue with her husband Srini in 2002. Since then the company has grown by leaps and bounds but it hasn't been easy. "There is no work-life balance when you're running a small business.

Wadhawan's parents came to the U.S. in the early 80's in search of opportunity for their family. "My dad was an architecture engineer and when he came to the states, the only job he could find was as a parking lot attendant," Wadhawan says. But his folks' work ethic definitely rubbed off on the CEO of Link Solutions, a company that provides IT and management consulting to the public and private sectors. He attributes his business success to valuable experience working for similar firms before he struck out on his own and the strength of the team he's assembled. And of course he owes it to "hard work, honest work and a little bit of luck."

Unlike many of his contemporaries, Marella didn't come to the U.S. for a degree. Rather, at the age of 45, he was put in charge of the U.S. branch of an Indian company that did importing and exporting. However, soon after Marella arrived, the company folded. "That was like a blessing in disguise," he says, because "in the U.S. there is a good entrepreneurial environment." He started Global Wedge with his wife Sarada in 2001 and the solar panel materials company has grown with alacrity thanks to increased interest in alternative energy sources.

While attending Sardar Patel College of Engineering in Mumbai in the early days of the Internet, Narvekar thought he would build a website for the school to impress his professors. What he discovered was that there were almost no local hosting companies in the area, and he promptly founded one of his own, called Bombay Biz, to rectify the problem. Soon afterward, at age 23, he moved to the U.S. for grad school and founded Triad Web Design. He says the hardest part of running a company has been differences in American and Indian business culture. "I don't want to push my Indian style into the U.S. business," he says. His secret sauce for fast growth is all about SEO and SEM: Triad Web Design spent $2 million on Google AdWords in the last 3 years.

PICKENS COUNTY — Learning to give up control is one of the key components that the leader of the United Way of Pickens County says has led to the organization's growth over the last 20 years.
This year marks the completion of two decades that United Way President Julie Capaldi has been the chief executive office of the organization that helps provide funding to organizations that helps people in need.
Growth of the organization has coincided with her own personal growth she says, growth in areas like patience, tenacity and humility. She has also done a good deal of listening along the way.
To hear her tell it, hearing what she needed to hear was not always pleasant, but it has led the organization to a stronger position financially, a more more efficient place administratively and a more effective place operationally.
One of the tough messages to hear was, "When you start doing something, they will give," Capaldi said Friday, sitting down to discuss her two decades of experience in the Pickens county non-profit world.
"It was said kind of in a mean way, but it was right," Capaldi said. The message came from an unnamed veteran of the non-profit arena.
That led to an analysis based in the community impact model of operating a United Way organization. The group found ways to listen to thee Pickens County community about what the issues are. That led to funding programs that the community better perceived would help their neighbors.
The programs can be categorized into three areas that the United Way describes as Community Basics, Education and Youth Impact and Financial Stability and Independence.
"We have gone from putting a band-aid on problems – that doesn't help it hurts – to helping them learn how to sustain," she said. "We are taking a holistic approach."
A central need that has emerged is homelessness, she said. That led to the development of Family Promise , a collaboration with the faith community to provide shelter, food, a way for homeless children to get to their schools and parents to find work that will sustain them.
In the United Way 2012-2013 Annual Report, United Way staffer Steven Lambright said the results of a Pickens County homelessness study was surprising.
"I was shocked," he said. "If you told me there were people living in a tent city in Greenville County, I would have believed it. In Pickens County, Never."
But a Point in Time study that sent more than 100 volunteers out looking for homeless people on one evening found plenty of homelessness in Pickens County.
"In two instances, families were found living in sheds. People were found in the crawl space beneath a local business.
There was more than one tent city found that night. The estimate is more than 2,000 homeless people in Pickens County.
United Way of Pickens County has led the way to organize Family promise that will serve, Capaldi believes, as part of the holistic approach to getting people back on their feet.
Capaldi comes from a heritage of giving.
"My father was a community philanthropist, but he was silent about it. We didn't know how much he gave until after he died. I helped my mother with his estate. He gave to the Republican Party, Dartmouth College, the United Way. When I went to camp and some of my friends couldn't afford to go, they went because he made it possible. But I never knew," said Capaldi. "When we went out Trick-or-Treating, we couldn't get candy unless we also took along the UNICEF box (The United nations Children's Fund)."
She had worked as a fund raiser for March of Dimes, The American Lung Association. Her husband wanted to move from Columbia and found a prospective job for her in 1993.
That is when she interviewed for the Pickens County United Way job.
"They hired me for my fund raising abilities," she said. The board at that time created a position.
"I didn't do my research and what I found out after I got here was that we were on the cusp of a financial disaster," she said. "I could not have done it without a dedicated staff. I would have sunk."
Economic changes in the area with declining textile operations and other manufacturing meant that the local United Way was losing 65 percent of its financial base.
Corporate giving and payroll deductions still exist, but the United Way locally transformed to seek individual gifts.
Capaldi and staff created giving categories like the Director's Circle, a list of people who give $1,000 plus. "I was told people in Pickens County would not give that much. What they didn't know is that we had people who were giving that much, we just weren't recognizing it."
Know the United Way recognizes six families that give more than $10,000 each, one that gives more than $7,500, two more than $5,000, 14 more than $2,500 each and 146 members giving more than $1,000 each.
That is in addition to corporate campaigns that frequently offer corporate donations and employee contributions.

As an employer, you need to let your workers know what's expected of them, while providing regular feedback. That way, those who consistently fail to improve won't be too shocked when they're shown the door.
Losing your job is stressful. To cushion the blow, federal law requires employers to offer terminated workers health-care continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation, or COBRA.
Whether or not they're popular around the office, unproductive employees with bad attitudes have to go. You may look rotten at first, but not as rotten as your bottom line once a bad attitude begins to spread around your workplace.
An exit interview with a fired employee gives you a chance to find ways of improving work procedures, management practices, and training efforts, among other areas. It also allows outgoing employees to get things off their chest.
When a worker stops being a productive member of your staff -- or worse, becomes a liability -- is time to consider termination. Letting things slide to avoid a confrontation will only make matters worse in the end. Be fair, but decisive.
One surefire way to avoid firing employees down the line is to gather good people from the start. The costs of higher wages and good benefits can pay for themselves when your HR office isn't a revolving door.
Despite your best efforts, some employees are lemons. You're not a failure as a boss -- or a person -- when a workers regularly comes in late, takes extended lunches, and leaves early, doing little of value for your company in between.
Keeping on top of who's working out and who isn't will help keep your employment decisions objective. A detailed performance report can also back you up when a terminated employee complains of being unfairly treated.
Forget Donald Trump. Firing employees isn't easy. Yet sometimes bad workers need to go, and there's a right way -- and a wrong way -- to show them the door. Here are a few tips.

The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) presented plans for the LECOM School of Dental Medicine in Bradenton, Florida, during a news conference at the campus in Lakewood Ranch. For more than a year, LECOM administrators and the Board of Trustees have investigated the need to open a dental school in Florida and determined that the College can meet the educational and health care needs of the state's citizens.
LECOM introduced the new school with remarks by Silvia M. Ferretti, D.O., Provost, Senior Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs.
|Robert Hirsch, D.D.S., dean of the LECOM School of Dental Medicine, chats with Richard Valachovic, D.M.D., Executive Director of the American Dental Education Association.
"LECOM recognizes that dentists have become an integral team player in improving the health of their patients," said Dr. Ferretti. "The role they play in preventive medicine corresponds with the osteopathic principals of total health care as taught by the College of Osteopathic Medicine and the School of Pharmacy."
At the announcement, Dr. Ferretti introduced the School's Dean for Dental Medicine, Robert Hirsch, D.D.S.. "The College, observing the evident decline in the number of dentists in the State of Florida is responding to the needs of the Bradenton community with the establishment of this school," said Dr. Hirsch. "The decrease in practicing dentists is most critical in underserved and low income areas where the population health is at risk."
Reports from the Surgeon General of the United States have shown that while the understanding of tooth decay and periodontal diseases has brought about marked improvement in the oral health of many Americans, not all Americans are benefiting by the same degree. The "silent epidemic" of oral disease affects the elderly, members of various ethnic and racial groups and America's indigent children. Those reports note that oral health impacts general health and dental health professionals play a key role in preventive health care.
The Florida Commission for Independent Education voted unanimously to give provisional approval to the Dental School at LECOM's Bradenton campus. LECOM is awaiting initial accreditation in February from the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) at which time the college is expected to recruit students for the Dental School, which will be only the third in the state.
"It is the hope and expectation of the founders that the current and future needs of dental health will be served by the professionals schooled and trained at LECOM School of Dental Medicine," commented Dr. Hirsch.
Ever cognizant of its commitment to excellence in education and purpose in community service, the LECOM School of Dental Medicine will open in Bradenton for classes in 2012. The school's first class will enroll 100 first-year students. Within four years of its inaugural class, the School of Dental Medicine will enroll 400 students.
|The architect envisions a school of dental medicine building similar to the LECOM Bradenton campus.
LECOM will invest $52 million dollars to bring the dental school to Manatee County, which includes the construction of an exceptionally planned building to house the Dental School and the highly technical, state-of-the-art classrooms required to prepare the next generation of dentists. The school will employ nearly 200 individuals, including dental faculty, administrators, dental hygienists, along with technical, administrative and other support staff. The direct impact of institutional, employee and student spending should reach around $14 million dollars in the Bradenton area, and as much as $35 million through direct and indirect spending statewide.
In addition, dental clinics staffed by faculty and students will be able to treat up to 600 patients per day providing dental health care for many who are currently underserved. Only those patients whose treatment regimen meets the educational requirements of the dental school will be accepted.
Distinguished guests at the announcement included Richard Valachovic, D.M.D, Executive Director of the American Dental Education Association and Eric Basinger, executive director of the Manatee Economic Development Council, a division of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce.

NEW ORLEANS -- Did staff at Orleans Parish Prison ignore a mentally ill inmate leading up to his death last week?
It's the latest in a string of deaths at the prison as Mayor Mitch Landrieu and Sheriff Marlin Gusman battle over who should pay for a federal consent decree.
'Clearly this is a facility that is dysfunctional,' said ACLU Executive Director Marjorie Esman.
Ricky Russell, 26, was charged with beating to death an elderly Gentilly woman last year. But like so many other inmates who have died in this prison, he had not even gone to trial yet. When he was jailed last June, Russell was suicidal and placed on suicide watch.
But a statement from the sheriff's medical director for the prison, Dr. Samuel Gore, said Russell's 'medications were adjusted to good effect.'
In recent months Russell was taken off of suicide watch. He was moved into a cell in the Conchetta facility.
'He was given an amount of medicine which was well beyond the ability of a mentally ill person to handle on their own,' Esman said.
In a sworn statement, fellow inmate Jaime Hernandez told the Southern Poverty Law Center that nurses gave Russell a supply of anti depressant and psychotropic pills that he kept on him.
Hernandez says '...no one monitored him when he took it. Sometimes he would sell it to people on the tier.'
According to the prison medical director, 'Russell was prescribed a seven-day supply of medicine.' Gore adds, 'Some mental health patients are permitted small quantities of medicine to self-administer, but only when deemed stable by the licensed psychiatrist.'
Former Orleans Parish Criminal District Court judge Calvin Johnson, now executive director of the Metropolitan Human Service District, manages community-based mental health care in New Orleans.
'The fact that a guy with an obvious mental health issue is given an array of pills that he would have in his possession and then given instruction that he is supposed to take those pills without any other direction or without any other assurance that the guy is in fact taking those pills is just problematic,' Johnson said.
The night before he was found dead in his cell, Ricky Russell was up late laughing really hard and saying he was seeing things in his cell. That's according to a sworn declaration from fellow inmate Jaime Hernandez
'It would have been far more appropriate and probably would have saved his life if his medication was managed by guards, instead of turning it over to someone who was really not capable of doing that,' Esman said.
The U.S. Department of Justice notified the sheriff about a series of concerns after it investigated prison conditions and deaths.
The findings condemn OPP's so-called ' Keep On Person' medication program. The letter from the justice department says the prison '...fails to monitor inmates' medication intake....' and '... fails to protect inmates from improper use and harm.'
That letter was sent to Gusman in 2009.
In his statement after Russell's death, Gore said, 'The Department of Justice did not include any changes to this (medication) policy in the consent decree.'
Actually, the consent decree orders psychotropic medications to be 'administered in a clinically appropriate manner as to prevent misuse, overdose, theft or violence.'
The night before he died, a fellow inmate says Russell asked to see a psychiatrist. Inmate Jaime Hernandez says two nurses told Russell to make a sick call request.
'This consent decree is critical in terms of changing the reality over there,' Johnson said.
Through a spokesman, Gusman declined a request for an interview, saying 'the investigation into the death of inmate Russell is ongoing.'

Art Seiden, American
Friday, July 28, 2006
American magazine used a steady roster of tradition painterly illustrators for its fiction articles during the 1950's. But for some reason Art Seiden was chosen to illustrate this August 1951 story, The Ornamental Hen. Whatever it was that struck the art editor's fancy to choose Seiden, one could only wish it had struck more often... unfortunately this is the only example I've come across in my stack of American mags.
You can see the back-up piece Seiden did for this article here.

Customer Raves & Reviews
I love Love in the Woods!
My fiance and I love our invitations! Love in the Woods was one of the more unique designs we saw across several online companies. For us, it is the perfect blend of elegance and rustic charm. The quality of the paper is fantastic. The colors are gorgeous and perfectly match the images we saw and personalized online. What we got in the mail was exactly what we had hoped to get based on the proofs we approved. Everything looked the same and there were no errors. They came in a really nice box and were packaged very nicely. The online software we used to personalize each component was a little clunky, but it did the job and was mostly easy to use. I wish we could have removed the canoe from the step card and the oars from the vellum because we aren't actually having canoeing at our wedding. It's possible that we could have discussed this with one of the designers, but we kept everything as it was to save time. We were able to personalize all the text including content, font style and size - even the and sign on the front of the invitation (we replaced it with &). This was very helpful because we eliminated some of the headings on the step cards and added more descriptive text instead. We got our invitations about a week after we ordered them online which was an excellent turn around time. Many people emailed and texted us immediately upon receiving them to tell us how beautiful they are. One person even said they were the nicest she had ever received! Overall, we are extremely happy with the invitations and the service provided by Magnet Street. I would happily recommend these invitations and Magnet Street to anyone who asked. We feel that what we got was very much worth the price. Thank you, Magnet Street!
I ordered the Love in the Woods invites. We are so do happy with them and I would absolutely recommend them!!
Very nice enclosure cards
These enclosure cards are perfect. They are a great size, and turned out wonderful. My only issue with them was during personalization. The font was hard to figure out how to get it to fit/look right, but with some trial and error I got it. I am so happy with Magnet Street and would recommend to anyone!
Functional but with personality!
The MagnetStreet team has done it again! So far we've ordered magnet save the dates, invite proofs (which we were credited for!) and now these awesome "In the Woods" invitations! The designers accommodated our request to remove the oar design since it didn't mesh with the rest of our theme and they sent a revision over right away! The custom color options are also fantastic and very fun and easy to use once you get the hang of it! Thanks again - I'm already designing our Thank You cards!
Best invite
Looked at every other site. Best of everything out there. Processing time and quality was amazing. Great compliments from our guests

Blue Beach fossil tagged as oldest of its kind
Annapolis Valley find points to ancient 4-legged creatures
By ANTHONY COOPER
BLUE BEACH - The oldest pelvis fossil in the western hemisphere has turned up on the shores of Blue Beach, near Hantsport in the Annapolis Valley.
It sheds light on a distant, murky period of evolution over 350 million years ago, says a paleontologist from California.
The pelvis was found by Blue Beach Fossil Museum curator Chris Mansky, and identified by paleontologist Jason Anderson of Western University in Pomona, Calif., as belonging to an ancient family of four-legged creatures.
The creatures were named Whatcheeriids, after the city of What Cheer, Iowa, near where they were first discovered a decade ago.
The rare fossils help fill in a gap of 22 million years in the fossil record when simple tetrapods grew into several distinct and complex species, says a paleontologist from California.
Similar fossils have only ever been found in Iowa; Queensland, Australia; and Dumbarton, Scotland.
The pelvis is believed to be the oldest yet, by about five million years.
Mr. Anderson presented his findings at the North American paleontology convention last week in Halifax.
"There's good evidence for a new type of animal in this area," he said in a recent interview. Using the new find, scientists will be able to slowly tease out a better understanding of the little-known period in evolution.
Tetrapods, the ancestors of all amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, are said to be the first animals to crawl out of the sea and walk on land.
"The discovery of this new Whatcheeriid pelvis really helps us to begin to characterize with some confidence just what sort of composition the earliest terrestrial (animals) may have had," Mr. Mansky said.
"Prior to this, we had little to no solid information" besides footprints.
Blue Beach is one of only two tetrapod bone fossil sites in the world with bones dating back to a blank space in the fossil record, beginning 365 million years ago, named Romer's Gap.
Because few fossils from that period have been found, scientists don't know when or how tetrapods suddenly exploded into several distinct types of animals.
The Lower Carboniferous period in evolution is "just a big messy riddle" to paleontologists, Mr. Anderson said, but Blue Beach bones are . . . helping scientists solve the puzzle.
"There are several lifetimes worth of careers to be made (at Blue Beach)," he said.

ATHENS, Ohio – The Miami University women's basketball team could not overcome a slow start in a 97-79 setback against Ohio on Thursday in a foul-filled contest. The RedHawks fall to 4-9 overall and 0-2 in the Mid-American Conference. The Bobcats improve to 6-7 overall and 1-1 in the MAC.
Despite the setback, it was a breakout game for freshman guard Jillian Spurlock. She finished with a career-high 20 points on 7-for-10 shooting. She nearly made it a double-double with a career-high eight rebounds. She also had an assist and a steal in 23 minutes of action.
The Bobcats were able to force 25 turnovers, mostly early in the contest. They turned those turnovers into 33 points, which proved to be the difference. Ohio also had a strong day from behind the arc, hitting 13 three-point baskets.
Both teams had plenty of opportunities from the line as a total of 57 fouls were called. The RedHawks shot 76.3 percent from the charity stripe for the contest, finishing 29-for-38. Senior guard Haley Robertson was a perfect 6-for-6, while senior guard Hannah Robertson was 5-for-5.
Miami had several good looks to begin the game, but was unable to finish. OU took advantage to build a 9-0 lead. A layup from sophomore guard Hannah McCue ended the drought, but the Bobcats answered with a 9-2 run to take an 18-4 advantage with 12:52 remaining in the half.
The RedHawks began to take Ohio players off the dribble, forcing them to foul. Miami converted on its free throws to begin to pull closer. Each time the Red and White was able to get the lead down to single digits, the Bobcats answered with a timely three-point basket to push the advantage back to 10. Four free throws by Spurlock made it 33-24 at the 4:42 mark, but another Ohio three-pointer started a 16-4 run that gave the Bobcats a 49-28 lead with 1:45 to go.
Haley Robertson ended the run with a layup. After a free throw from junior guard Courtney Larson, back-to-back layups by Spurlock cut the deficit to 16 points. Kat Yelle drained a three-pointer with 11 seconds remaining to send Ohio into the break in front, 54-35.
Miami shot 11-for-21 (52.4 percent) during the first half. It was led Hannah Robertson and Spurlock with nine points apiece. Ohio forced 15 RedHawk turnovers and was 10-for-23 (43.5 percent) from behind the arc during the period.
Hannah Robertson and Larson each hit three-pointers early in the second half, but the lead remained around 20 points during the first 10 points. The Bobcats eventually built their largest advantage at 83-59 with 8:14 to go. Junior guard Kindsay Brandt hit a pair of free throws to get the Miami offense going. Jumpers by Spurlock and senior center Kelsey Simon, followed by a three-pointer from sophomore guard Maddie McCallie were part of an 11-4 run that made it 87-70 with 5:11 remaining.
Trailing 91-71, McCue hit a layup to start one final Miami run. Spurlock hit a three-pointer and followed with a jumper to make it a 15-point game at 93-78 with 1:42 to go, but time ran out as the Bobcats finished off the 97-79 win.
In addition to Spurlock's 20 points, Hannah Robertson finished with 14, Haley Robertson with 12 and Larson had 11. The RedHawks shot 23-for-47 (48.9 percent) for the game and outrebounded Ohio, 41-29. The Bobcats were led by Quiera Lampkins with 24 points.
Miami looks to get back on the winning track when it heads to Toledo on Sunday for a 2 p.m. contest. Tim Bray has the call and it can be heard live on WMOH, as well as Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
Can you hear that? That's the call of the open road. Few things in life can match the unbridled thrill of mounting your steed and spending the day exploring your surroundings while Mother Nature's elements rush by.
And though the unknown is often a welcomed part of the adventure, SHOEI's all-new GT-Air makes it easier to adapt to the ever-changing conditions that lie ahead. Features like the convenient flip-down internal sun shield, free-flowing yet easily adjustable ventilation system, superior aerodynamics, and Pinlock Anti-Fog System ensure greater comfort and thus more time in the saddle than ever before. So what are you waiting for? Answer the call of the open road in SHOEI's first internal sun shield-equipped full-face helmet—the progressively stylish GT-Air.
The GT-AIR helmet from Shoei combines all of the safety features and build
quality you would expect from an ultra-premium helmet brand, with commuter and
tourer favorites like amazing ventilation and an injection molded internal sun
shield. This DOT approved helmet features an AIM shell, a Pinlock prepared
shield with insert, and a dual density multi piece EPS liner.
The GT-AIR gets 2 new graphics for this Fall including the Regalia, and the
Inertia, and two new color ways for the Wanderer graphic.
Let's take a closer look.
First, we have the new Regalia graphic. Regalia is defined as the emblems or
insignia of royalty. This graphic implies that your new GT-AIR is more than just
a helmet, it's your crown. I can't help but agree. The detail in this graphic
really is amazing. You have to see it in person to truly appreciate everything
that is going on here. You get the Italian bred podium feel from the red, white,
and green for sure. But, what's difficult to see on camera is the detail. All of
these gray areas have a subtly metallic silver finish with a digital striation
that looks like brushed aluminum, and the black areas have a light full spectrum
metal flake that pops like a collar in Jersey when the sun hits it. It's a thing
of beauty to be sure.
Next, we have the new Inertia graphic. Sir Isaac Newton taught us that an object
at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion. This inertia
graphic is doing its best to change the laws of classic physics. For all intents
and purposes, this helmet is at rest, but it sure doesn't look like it. The
flowing lines and terminating shapes make this helmet look like it is travelling
at blistering speeds, even when it isn't moving at all. This graphic is
available in three color ways; this red white and silver, a blue white and
silver, and a black and gray scale version. Like the Regalia, this graphic has
some amazing yet subtle detail. The silver portions have light silver metal
flake detail, and the colored portions have metal flake that is color matching.
Red has red, blue has blue, etc... This is a great looking graphic. Another one
you have to see in person to truly appreciate.
Lastly, we have two new color way choices for the Wanderer graphic. The wanderer
is already available in a flat black with a white rally stripe and a matt white
with a black rally stripe. Now, it is also available with this high viz yellow
accent or in red if you prefer. The special aspect of this graphic, which is yet
again one that is difficult to see on camera, is this chameleon area on each
side of the helmet. This honeycomb pattern reflects from reddish purple to green
depending on the angle from which it is viewed. That, combined with the rich
accent color, makes this helmet simultaneously subtle and striking in
