Interesting. With both "Extreme" and "Concentree" is has my attention.
I wonder if its going to be an "extreme" version of the Sport EDC lemonade scent or if they are trying to offer a variation of the current Sport EDT.
Will have to take a look at this tanks for the heads up
It`s now introduced at www.chanel.com -But only with the Russian language.. :-) It`s supposed to be more aromatic and spicy than the reguler, with a hint of musc. Notes: Fresh mint, Sicilian mandarin, cypress, white musc, tonka bean, cedar, sandalwood and black pepper gives the scent a "warm aroma" :-) The Oscar winning director Kathryn Bigelow is the director of the new advertising video, and the actor is the Hawaiian surfer Danny Fuller.
Definite pass from me. Sport (ie weak) and extreme/concentre is an oxymoron.

Interesting! I think it's a flanker of AHS, not AHS Cologne.
I'm not a fan of the Allure line at all, but I will definitely test this when I see it in person.
Current top 3:
1) Gucci Pour Homme II
2) Givenchy Play Intense
3) Dolce & Gabbana The One
I usually avoid anything with "sport" in its name, but the sentence "Warm aroma" makes it sound a bit more intresting. I like the regular Allure homme and Edition Blanche very much, so I will give this one a try.
Will likely add this to my collection in the future.
Hope the mint is more peppermint and not an herbal mint like Roadster.
Love the look of this bottle
I'm saving my money for the release of:
Allure Eau Fraîchissante Homme Sport Extreme Sensuelle Blanche Edition pour l'Été
It will only be available in a 500ml bottle. . .to accommodate the label.
Cool. I'll have to try it out. I have the regular Allure Homme Sport and love it. Great lasting power.
I was told 22nd March by a sale assistant in my local dept store, UK. Will be interested to see what this is like. Was never a fan of the allure homme line but I'm still keen

The real bottle
Allure: Sorry About the Longevity Edition....dear god what is going on in the Chanel men's division?
The first who tried this in Chanel School in Moscow say it is not really similar to the regular AHS. It is rather sweet for a sporty fragrance and has a notable note of tonka beans. They also say it's much, much better and interesting than Bleu de Chanel.
there was a sample of this on ebay, lost the bid by pennys coz i wasnt paying attention!
I hope this is long lasting and projects more. I loved the smell of AHS, but longevity and projection were an issue for me.
So it really IS going for an "extreme sports" angle - surfing. Check out the comments here:
And - BTW - found a nice, old interview with Polge...
I'm just a sucker for either Polge. I'm already loving Spicebomb, and I have no doubt that I'll love this. It will be interesting to see how this compares with the other "surfing homage" fragrance, Quiksilver.
got a sample of this,not my cup of tea. the mint is menthol like someone added vicks vapor rub to the topnotes of allure homme sport.
Sounds interesting, but I'm afraiding of that it is one disappoint again from Chanel just like Bleu and most of Allure flankers...
I'm selling internationally Opium homme EDP
Check out my selling list:
Sampled it today. Opened just like AHS but with a lot of tonka beans and woody notes (vetiver?) added.
Really love it, but I think most of the people who didn't like the original AHS won't be into this either.
I'll buy it for sure, but hey: I'm a Chanel junkie!
the mint menthol topnotes are just to strong on my skin if i wore it people would think i had a head cold lol. it smells very similar to this:
I cant surf so i guess im going to pass on this one.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
after about an hour the strong menthol calms down on my skin and i get mint with tonka bean drydown like sweet mint smell ,it reminds me of toothpaste.
Looking forward to trying this.
I'm a Chanel fan, will most likely buy this one just based off the notes and the fact that my AHS is running low...

I despise minty scents, so I doubt this one will do much for me.
Strangely enough, I'm actually curious to try this one...
I think I will just give it a shot for fun. Dont really fancy smelling like a toothpaste though.

I´m scared about recent launches of sport fragrances. However, I like a lot Allure Homme and if I see this flanker, I´ll try it. It´s difficult to make a fragrance more generic and expensive than Bleu.

- A lot of people thinks that they live when the only thing they do is simply exist.
sounds ok. is it out in sephoras yet?
I looked for this at the mall on Saturday (Texas) and no luck. Not at Sephoras either.
This is now in Boots (UK) I'm going to try and snag a sample tomorrow.
Wonder when this one will debut at my Macy's/Dillards/Sephora?
Didn't care for the original. If I see this one somewhere I might try it.
This seems to follow the trend of fresh+spicy gourmand such as CK One Shlock...
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
Don't most retailers get shipments in on Tuesdays or Thursdays? If Chanel is doing an Apple type of release, where it just shows up one day without any definitive release date, I'm hoping it's this Thursday, March 1st. Nordstrom's rep told me their source says March 2012, but no specific date.
From those who smelt this, is the orange toned down a bit? I like AHS, but sometimes the orange was a little too much for me...too much of a melting orange flavored Creamsicle smell.
was wondering the same thing except i love AHS sweet orangeness
Its nothing aquatic?

Willamette University's core values are deeply rooted in what one might call our "human-ness." This essential humanness is reflected, for instance, in the relatively small scale of our academic activities — activities that permit us to be attentive and vigilant to the particular needs of individual students. Willamette's culture of community service and outreach is another example of how our educational mission reinforces an essential human virtue. And, of course, the value that we place on interdisciplinary studies, especially on those that have a broad application to human life, manifest this core value.
During the last several months, I have been engaged in thoughtful conversations with faculty, students, trustees and staff about Willamette's future. I have been particularly concerned to identify academic initiatives that meet a three-pronged test: (1) they represent values recognized widely as essential to our academic mission; (2) they cross disciplines as well as schools and colleges; and (3) they have the capacity to distinguish Willamette as well as make us distinctive, thereby enhancing academic excellence.
These conversations are ongoing, and they have, in very helpful ways, informed certain aspects of my vision of Willamette in the future.
Sustainability — the idea that all individuals and organizations should consider actively their impact on the environment, on the availability of resources, and on the generations that will follow, and proceed in a way that can be sustained with the least detrimental impact — has emerged as worthy of renewed University focus.
Over the past two years, Willamette has undergone a process of re-committing our community to sustainability in ways that will make the University a better place to work, study and live. Through the work of Willamette's Sustainability Council — comprising students, faculty and staff campuswide — we have been able to promote interdisciplinary study related to sustainability and the environment, improve sustainability and environmental literacy in our curricula, develop activities that enhance awareness of sustainability and the environment, foster strategic initiatives that will have the effect of creating a sustainable culture in University activities, and promote sustainable best practices in the design of new buildings and the renovation of existing buildings.
Sustainability extends beyond environmental to social and economic issues that affect our future. Considered within the context of civic engagement, sustainability is powerful, for it reaffirms a core University value while creating opportunities for practical outcomes that benefit the surrounding community of which we are an essential part.
I believe the Willamette community can agree that sustainability is at the center of what we do as an institution seeking to live by its profound motto, Not unto ourselves alone are we born. Whether we are encouraging our students to use their talents to improve the well-being of the communities in which they live, or whether we are working to secure the financial soundness of this institution itself, we understand the choices we make now affect the lives of present and future generations. This is the heart of a liberal education.
This issue of The Scene highlights the efforts and achievements of two Willamette alumni who, through their respective careers, have championed preservation and restoration; the collaborative and interdisciplinary teaching and research efforts of two Willamette professors, and our students' passion for learning about and actively promoting sustainability, conservation and preservation in all aspects of University life, and beyond.

SANDY, Utah—Robbie Rogers had his opportunities, but in the end, he like the rest of the LA Galaxy attack were unable to help send the team through to the Western Conference Championship.
In 75 minutes of LA's extra time 2-0 defeat to Real Salt Lake that caused them to fall 2-1 in the Western Conference Semifinal Series, Rogers tied for the team lead in shots with five. Three of Rogers chances came during a seven minute span midway through the first half, but each of his efforts were sprayed just wide.
Throughout the match, Rogers was one of the more active players on the field for LA, but was unable to capitalize on the time and space afforded to him by the Salt Lake defense.
"We created chances," Robbie Rogers said. "That's, I guess, the difference between great players and mediocre players is when [great players] get those chances, they finish them. We just weren't good enough in front of goal and defending in front of our goal."
In the end, Rogers' struggles were emblematic of the entire team as of 22 chances; the Galaxy had just two shots on frame.
"That's not a great stat," Rogers admitted. "We'll obviously look at this game and see what we did right and what we did wrong, but probably over the course of the two games, we just didn't finish our chances and made it hard on ourselves."
A.J. DeLaGarza is set to begin his international career with Guam.
The LA Galaxy defender confirmed via his verified Twitter account on Friday that he'll be heading to play with the "Matao" during their upcoming friendlies against Laos and Cambodia in the November international period. Since the matches are friendlies, DeLaGarza will not be tied to Guam.
DeLaGarza received interest from Guam last November and commited to the nation earlier this year after racking up two caps for the U.S. National Team.
New challenge of my career starts Sunday. Traveling to Laos and Cambodia for a few friendlies with Guam. Then few days in Guam to see family

SANDY, Utah – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena's comments from LA's 2-1 aggregate defeat to Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference Semifinal.
(On the team's defeat…)
ARENA: "We didn't play well tonight or over 210 minutes. We really had our opportunities on Sunday to have a cushion coming in here and didn't do it. Tonight we failed on defensive set pieces. The win made the game terrible with the field conditions and all that, so it was a really sloppy game, a scrappy game, and they were more opportune on their set pieces than we were, and it was the difference in the game."
(On whether the season was a failure…)
ARENA: "I don't know about that, but these are tight games in the playoffs."
(On the play of Keane and Donovan…)
ARENA: "They were not factors tonight for us. Give Salt Lake credit, they played them well."
(On Penedo's play…)
ARENA: "Penedo had a very good game, you said? He was alright."
The conditions were both for teams with the hard field. This field is like playing on the street and it makes for balls bouncing a lot. The conditions were tough, but both teams have to play on these conditions and they played better than we did. They were very direct, they put balls behind us, put our backs under pressure, scrapped a lot, and were hectic in their attack and created some opportunities from that."
(On the second goal…)
ARENA: "The last goal, the referee [calls] the whole night like it's a boxing match and he calls that foul, but in all fairness, we shouldn't position ourselves to be called for a foul down there and they score. We had to be smart to place this game into penalty kicks once we got to overtime, and we didn't get it done."
SALT LAKE CITY -- We're just hours away from Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg between the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake. Remember LA advance with a win or a draw at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Below are a series of links, matchups to watch and a predicted score.
*There may be a risk for the LA Galaxy to be defensive-minded against an RSL, but the Galaxy are confident that they'll be able to attack a desperate RSL side.
*Could the Galaxy have a blueprint for success in their victory over Salt Lake in April?
*RSL are confident that their history of coming up short in big games will be changed on Thursday, but they'll do so without midfielder Ned Grabavoy.
*LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan previews the second leg.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the match.
Marcelo Sarvas vs. Kyle Beckerman
Stopping Beckerman will be key as he provides the main conduit between RSL and their attack. Preventing him from enjoying success is key to LA earning a victory.
Omar Gonzalez vs. Nat Borchers
Watch these two on each Galaxy set piece chance as Borchers and company have resorted to extremely physical tactics to limit Gonzalez's effectiveness.
Luis Gil vs. Todd Dunivant.
The wily youngster will look to cause consdierable problems for the Galaxy left back, but Dunivant will need a strong performance to keep him at bay.

Video Preview: LA Galaxy Insider previews the Western Conference Semifinal second leg against Real Salt Lake
Ahead of Thursday's match between the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake, I previewed the match in this video piece for LAGalaxy.com
Check it out below..
SALT LAKE CITY -- Winning decisive matches at Rio Tinto Stadium have been a major problem for Real Salt Lake, but RSL aren't anticipating the same type of struggles in Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg against the LA Galaxy.
In recent years, RSL has been faced with several opportunities to win silverware or close out a postseason series at Rio Tinto—most notably: the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Final against Monterrey and the 2013 U.S. Open Cup vs. D.C. United—and fallen short each time.
This time around with LA up 1-0 on aggregate heading into the second leg, Salt Lake need a two goal victory to advance outright or a one goal advantage and risk penalty kicks. Even though RSL has not enjoyed much success in important matches at the stadium that they once labeled "the Fortress" they're hopeful of advancing against LA.
"I think that there's definitely magnified when it's a home game, but for us the way that I look at it, we're doing something good to get opportunities to win on our home soil," said RSL captain Kyle Beckerman in a conference call with reporters earlier this week. "There's been some good games where we've won… I feel confident, we keep putting ourselves in the opportunities and we're going to succeed in one of these.
"It's a big task. They're a very dangerous team and they'll get the best out of themselves in the playoffs. It would have been tough regardless, but we just have to go in with a confident mindset," Beckerman continued. "We'll see what happens early… but the advantage is there. It's at our place, we have the altitude so we're feeling alright and really excited to get to Thursday to see what happens."
NOTES: RSL will not have the services of midfielder Ned Grabavoy due to a hamstring strain. It's likely that spritely midfielder Sebastian Velasquez will take his spot in the lineup…A near sellout is expected at Rio Tinto Stadium on Thursday with more than 70 LA Galaxy fans in attendance.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy may need just a draw to advance to the Western Conference Championship, but the team isn't anticipating putting in a measured performance against Real Salt lake at Rio Tinto Stadium—they're going for the victory.
With LA up 1-0 on aggregate in their Western Conference Semifinal Series heading into the second leg, the onus will be on Salt Lake to attack early, but with RSL expected to dominate possession, the Galaxy should have opportunities on the counterattack. Although that is the expected narrative to start, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena would like his team to wrestle control of the tempo from the start.
"The way that you start the game is important. You have to be good and solid to start the game. We'd like to be ahead at halftime, that's one way to look at it," said Arena." If we can do that we'll be in really good position."
The stats confirm Arena's comments as the Galaxy are 13-2-3 in MLS play in 2013 when scoring first and 8-1-0 when leading at the half. The lone defeat when leading at the half came on June 29 at Stanford Stadium during their dramatic 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes .
Although the simple strategy would be to pack numbers in the box and hold the slim lead, Landon Donovan is confident that the Galaxy aren't going to Utah to simply hold a lead, but add to it.
"We have to be very good defensively, but we're not going there to defend for 90 minutes, we're going there to try to keep the ball and move the ball and put them under pressure too," said Donovan. "You'd do think that the game is going to look open at times and the added pressure of having to win is the expectation.
"I'm sure that they're not going to go crazy because the reality is that they just need a goal at some point," added Donovan. "For us the mentality is to be aggressive and get around the ball and get after the ball, but also when we have chances to possess and go forward. We're going there to win the game, we're not going there to get a tie."
CARSON, Calif. -- In the latest edition of View from the Booth, Cobi Jones and Joe Tutino analyze the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg against Real Salt Lake.
Check it out below..
CARSON, Calif. – Former LA Galaxy assistant coach Gregg Berhalter has returned to the coaching ranks after being appointed head coach and sporting director of the Columbus Crew on Thursday.
The former LA Galaxy defender and longtime U.S. international was not well-hyped candidate for the position but beat out reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Brad Friedel, former Columbus Crew legend Guillermo Barros Schelotto, and interim head coach Brad Bliss.
After serving as a player coach during the Galaxy's 2011 MLS Cup winning season, Berhalter moved on to manage Swedish side Hammarby IF –becoming the first American to manage a European club-- where he managed until the 2013 campaign when he was dismissed with an 18-11-16 record over two years.
It's good. It's a great appointment and we wish him the best. He's a good young coach and he's got a great future, I'm hopeful that it is a good opportunity for him," said Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena. "[He had a] thirst to learn and a lot of energy to learn about his profession [as a player]. He's got a good foundation in coaching now and the essential tools to be a good head coach. He has the makeup of a coach for sure."
Associate head coach Dave Sarachan agrees.
"He's a student of the game. He loves the game and he's very passionate, and very driven. I think that he's now had some experience as a head coach which I think that he's going to learn from," said Sarachan, who said that Berhalter's 'outside the box thinking' was key to his development as a Galaxy assistant. "Having played in our league, he has an understanding of what it takes to be in our league. He checks a lot of the boxes that it takes to be successful."
CARSON, Calif. – For the LA Galaxy to advance to the Western Conference Championship for the fifth year in a row, striking a balance will be key.
A balance between the defensive mindset needed to preserve their 1-0 aggregate lead on Real Salt Lake and the ability to hit home side on the counter when they press forward. The transition game has been vital to the team's recent success over the past four years and will once again be important on Thursday at Rio Tinto Stadium.
"It's very critical in the first 15 minutes of each half. If we can control the past 15 minutes then the game is set up a little bit and the speed comes down a little bit. Counterattacking is a weapon for us because we have players fast enough to do this and we're going to find those gaps," said midfielder Marcelo Sarvas. "They're going to press with two forwards and depending how the game goes, they're going to put three or four guys in the penalty area. I think the most important is that when you have one chance and score then it will be a different situation."
However, they'll be taking on an RSL team that is well-aware of what the Galaxy can do on the counterattack as Salt Lake captain Kyle Beckerman reiterated in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday.
"The counter that they do is unbelievable," said Beckerman. "They don't give it away right away and they make you defend. It'll be difficult and any time that you play the Galaxy, you're going to have an eye on Landon [Donovan] and Robbie [Keane] and that'll be the same on Thursday. But only being a goal down, we don't have to get desperate right off the bat.
"We'll try to put some high pressure, but I don't feel like we're going to have to score like we have to score in the opening 15 or 20 minutes," added Beckerman. "It's a 90 minute game and we'll have time to get a goal to send it into overtime or whatever we need. It'll be key to not get caught up and give up opportunities for them to counter. We know that I'll happen, but if we can limit their chances it'll help our chances for sure."
But when the Galaxy get those chances come Thursday, they're confident that they'll be able to make RSL pay.
"We need to not give up a goal," Donovan said. "If we don't give up a goal, we advance, so that needs to be the starting point. But as the game goes on, as it opens up, as they expose themselves, we're certainly going to have chances to score."

An Online Training Program website www.visitmaldives.com.cn in Chinese was launched during the road show held on 18th June 2012 in Beijing, China coinciding with the Beijing International Travel Exchange that was held from 15 – 17 June 2012. The launching ceremony was attended by the Maldives High Commissioner to the China, Hon. Mohamed Rasheed, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts & Culture, and officials of MMPRC and the participants of BITE fair.
China is the fastest growing travel market in the world and the population centres are spread out over a wide geographical area. In order to service this divergent population, a comprehensive information and education online platform is necessary to train and send correct information for both travel agents and direct consumers.
The travel consultants working in the industry are young, technically savvy but short on travel experience and destination knowledge. Due to this information gap and the potential in the market creates competition among destinations to get their message across to these young agents to remember unique selling points and influence their clients to visit their specific destination to the exclusion of all others.
Tailor made on-line platform is the best tool for Maldives to access the Chinese travel industry and Chinese travelers. This is best achieved with regular and frequent positive reinforcement coupled with a reward which recognizes their competence
Maldives recorded a total of 73,339 tourist arrivals till end of May 2012, indicating a sign of continuous growth of tourists to the country. It represented an increase of 12.6 per cent. China has emerged as the number 1 market since August 2010. This is the first time that an Asian country has taken over the number 1 position of tourist arrivals to the Maldives.

text: Thabo Sefolosha was at about the same point in his career when the Thunder extended him. He got 4 years/14 million. More recently, Milwaukee gave Luc Mbah a Moutie a 4 year/18.7 million dollar contract that started higher and declines every year. I think Aminu is at about the same point as these guys were, so I would be fine with 4 years between 14 and 18 million. I especially like what the Bucks did with Mbah a Moute's deal, and would like something similar where Aminu's contract declines each year so that it is small when it is time to pay Davis and re-sign Anderson.

Wombwell's Six Goals Lands Her Conference Player of the Week Honors for Week #2
September 21, 2010
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Alyssa Wombwell has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas women's soccer Player of the Week during week number three in the 2010 season. The junior midfielder tallied four of Pfeiffer University's six goals in a 1-1 week for the Lady Falcons women's soccer program.
Wombwell netted the game-tying goal heading home her second of the year, just inside the six-yard box, during a 2-1 league loss at Queens. On Saturday, Wombwell added three more strikes to her running total and an assist in a 5-2 win over the Lady Fleet. The midfielder's first of the day came just 14 seconds into the contest with a top shelf shot for a 1-0 lead. Wombwell then turned right around to assist on a Devon Klyce goal 15 minutes later for a 2-0 halftime lead.
Ahead 2-1 in the second half, Wombwell created breathing room in the 55th minute with her second of the afternoon, before adding insurance during a 3-2 advantage in the 69th minute for a 4-2 game. For the season, Wombwell has five goals with two assists averaging two points per contest.
Wombwell and the Lady Falcons will get back to action on Wednesday night traveling to UNC-Pembroke for a 7:00 p.m. match. Pfeiffer returns home on Saturday hosting Limestone at 12:00 p.m.

Gallery: McBarge: Abandoned Floating McDonalds to Be Given New Life As ...
The proposals are already fairly ambitious.
Once refurbished, the plan is to turn the ship into a home for several restaurants—instead of just one—which would hopefully include some healthier options for visitors. The proposals are already fairly ambitious and even suggest a float plane service, a marina, and paddlewheel excursions around the surrounding river.
Although it resembles an old ghost ship, the barge has some old industrial beauty to it. Take a look at the gallery of images and imagine how it could look after a new lick of paint (and a lush array of sprouting veg!)

I could not be happier, the colors that I chose are so vibrant, the texture of the paper and quality of the printing is amazing. I was worried that my invitations would look cheap and look like I designed them on the net, but they look professional. Whenever I had a concern there was always someone to address it, even at 11:30 at night. I am very greatful and look forward to using Magnet Street's services in the future. Thank you!!!

The website was difficult to follow to see if the top cup would fit for sure. At first bought a Chris King Inset 3 which I thought was the right size.

If you were faced with a rapidly approaching hurricane or tornado, or were caught unawares by a devastating earthquake, what would happen to your pets? Do you have a plan for how you'd keep them safe?
If you're among those who don't have a plan, the time to create one is now. September is National Preparedness Month, and that means making sure you're ready to keep both yourself and your pets safe in an emergency. Where to start? Read our tips for disaster preparedness. We'll tell you everything you need to know to keep your precious companion animals safe in an emergency.
"It's often too late to create a plan for your pets when you're in the middle of a crisis," says Tim Rickey, ASPCA Vice President of Field Investigations and Response. "The best thing to do is to be prepared in advance."
Think you're ready for anything? Take our preparedness quiz and find out!
If you're in a position to do so, please consider making a donation to the ASPCA today. With your support, we've been able to dispatch our responders to the most harrowing sites of natural disasters without a moment's hesitation. Help us be on the ground to help animals in need at the times when they need us most.

Taking them with you is always an option. You just have to figure out what you may need to do it and make sure you have all the necessary equipment ahead of time. For instance, if you get a decent size carrier, you could fit 2 - 3 cats in each, allowing you more room in your vehicle for other things. If it were a situation that you would have to hike out for an evacuation, you can consider options such as a pet stroller. They make them so that the pets are contained and can't jump out. A good size one could hold 6 cats in an emergency. If a stroller is not an option because of rough terrain, consider a collar and leash on each one. Cats are capable of walking and if it means saving their lives you make concessions. Take into consideration where you live, what disasters are an immediate threat to your area and how many people live with you that could be helpful, what you would need if those things happened. Maybe even have a couple back-ups. Maybe if you decided the pet stroller may work, have that available but bring enough collars & leashes for each pet, just in case the terrain eventually stops you from using it. Or if you think you may be able to drive out, bring the stroller & leashes in case you become unable to continue your drive. Maybe purchase something used that you can rig to work for your situation. There are lots of options. You just have to figure out what works for you. And as long as you plan in advanced, you can make just about anything work.
Debra and Aline are right - you are wrong.
For those of you who said there is no way you could take all of yours with you because you have multiple --- SHAME ON YOU! I have 7 LARGE dogs and 11 cats and a Parrot. I would not leave my house WITHOUT ALL OF THEM!! No how, no way. I love my animals and they are family. If you have 3 kids, would you leave 1 of them because you couldn't carry all? IDIOT!!
You said that I was wrong in question one. You can not assume that every dog is outside. Since my brood are inside dogs with free run of the house I would not have to "bring them in". I would be more concerned of having easier access to "take and run" with them and not have to worry that they are without their tags and ME.
I didn't understand the question either. It just means: 'at first sign of a storm outside OR of the first warning by TV, say, what would you do?' If they had made the question and answers clearer, knowing your dog could be anywhere too, then, I might have thought 'my dog could be nervously shaking and bringing him in will keep him from being struck by lightning. I think the main point here is that you 'don't know' if it will be serious enough to evacuate, but this quiz was on tornado damage and stuff, so I still feel that you and I are right and they're wrong.
Do they have tags? If not they should just in case they should get out and decide to run for it. I had a kitten once and knew from the get go that he was going to be an indoor pet but I went out ASAP and got him a name tag, and then his rabies tag because he loved going outdoors.
I have a small dog and 2 male cats, one of them is a senior and they are my children and would NEVER leave them alone or leave without them in a disaster situation. I have a medium cage big enough to put both cats in and run, also have harness and leash always in reach and extra harness and leash in my car just in case and my little girl is chipped so God forbid she ever does get lost they can find me and my emergency contact for her! Granted reading this I realize I may not be as prepared as I should be, tomorrow I will get a water proof container and put in pet supplies and food for all of us. Thank you for bringing this information to my attention!
As I replied to Cathy;
You should really plan ahead now. Be proactive, your animals are depending on you! Talk to your local shelters, rescues, friends to see how they would be able to help. Some shelters will house pets in an event of a disaster.

From Digital Campus to Connected Community: The Story of NEOhio's OneCommunity
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; PROGRAM 12:00 p.m.
While serving as the Vice President for Information Technology Services and Chief Information Officer at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2004, Lev Gonick and Case Western Reserve University founded what is today known as OneCommunity, the award-winning regional community network now reaching 22 counties in Northeast Ohio. In 2009, Case Western Reserve University began extending gigabit fiber to the home in Cleveland's inner city.
Lev currently serves on numerous community Boards including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland and the Bellefaire JCB for Children. He is co-chair of the CIO Executive Council's higher education committee and co-chair of Cisco's Higher Education Executive Exchange. He was the Advisory Board Chair of the 2008 New Media Consortium's Horizon Project and former Board Chair of the NMC. Gonick has received the 2010 National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisory (NATOA) annual award for Community Visionary of the Year.
Gonick received his Ph.D. in international political economy from York University in Ontario, Canada. Gonick is also well-known for a series of essays that predict annual trends in Information Technology in Higher Education, and he is a regular blogger and tweets under the handle lgonick. In his talk, he will discuss his work in building NEOhio's OneCommunity and reflect upon social entrepreneurship in technology, focusing on intellectual innovation, public innovation, and making a difference in all sectors of society.
Vedanta, Vivekananda, and Human Excellence: Living a Balanced Life of Doing and Being
Vedanta — the underlying philosophy of Hinduism revealed to the ancient sages of India—declares that we are, by our very nature, infinite, pure, free, and full of blissful consciousness. To realize this truth, and to manifest this "human excellence" through our every thought, word, and deed, is the goal of life. This can be achieved through balanced living, harmonizing the various facets of our being and dedicating ourselves to Truth: a life of yoga, in which knowledge, devotion, work, and meditation play equal roles. This ancient wisdom of the divinity and sinless nature of the human being, and how to manifest it in our lives, was brought into the daylight of modern times from the forgotten past of the ancient sages by Swami Vivekananda.
Swami Sarvadevananda, the Minister and Head of the Vedanta Society of Southern California since October 2012, is a monk of the esteemed Ramakrishna Order of India, and has been serving at the Vedanta Society since 1993. The Ramakrishna Order was established in India in 1886 by Swami Vivekananda, and currently has about 1,500 monks serving in centers all over India and the world. They dedicate their lives to the twin ideals of personal spiritual enlightenment and service to the Divine in all humanity. Their lives focus on scriptural studies, spiritual practices, contemplation, imparting spiritual and secular knowledge at educational institutes, as well as working in hospitals, clinics, orphanages, and old-age homes, in the spirit of serving God in man. They also serve during critical periods of natural and man-made disasters, such as famine, epidemic, fire, flood, earthquake, cyclone, and social disturbances.
After joining the Ramakrishna Order in 1965, Swami Sarvadevananda served at one of its major Indian educational and technical training institutions for over twenty years before being appointed the head of one of the Order's rural village centers, Sikra-Kulingram, in 1988. In Sikra he initiated literacy, health, relief, and rehabilitation programs for hundreds of underprivileged villagers.
In addition to his regular lectures and classes at the Vedanta Society, Swami Sarvadevananda addresses schools, colleges, and other religious groups throughout the United States. He serves on the Inter-religious Council of Southern California and the Hindu-Catholic Dialogue and Hindu-Episcopal Dialogue of Los Angeles, and is one of the directors of the Hindu Students' Organization at the University of Southern California.
Was Proust Convinced? Art and the Power of Redemption
Eric Karpeles is a painter and the author of the remarkable Paintings in Proust: A Visual Companion to In Search of Lost Time (2008). In that book, Eric Karpeles identified and located the many paintings to which Proust makes reference; in other cases, where only a painter's name is mentioned to indicate a certain style or appearance, Karpeles chose a representative work to illustrate the impression that Proust sought to evoke. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/02/arts/design/02kenn.html?pagewanted=all.
Karpeles' own painting "The Sanctuary" was created in response to need of the HIV/AIDS community for a welcoming environment for mourning and the experience of loss. His expansive surround of painted surfaces traveled around the United States, ending with a three-month exhibit in New York's Grand Central Terminal. His "Driving to the Interior," a tribute to the art and vision of Elizabeth Bishop, is now installed at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and he created a non-denominational chapel space (commissioned by Mary and Laurance Rockefeller) for the New York headquarters of the HealthCare Chaplaincy.
Now as a Milosz Institute Fellow, Karpeles has turned his attention to a ground-breaking interpretive biography of Joseph Czapski, an eminent Polish artist, author, and critic and one of the very few Polish officers to survive the Katyn massacre. After World War II, Czapski remained in exile in the suburbs of Paris and founded "Kultura," one of the most influential intellectual journals of the 20th century.
The Arab Uprisings Aren't Over
Thanassis Cambanis is a journalist who has covered the Middle East for a decade. He is currently writing a book about efforts to create a liberal order in Egypt after the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak. His first book, A Privilege to Die: Inside Hezbollah's Legions and Their Endless War Against Israel, was published in 2010. He writes "The Internationalist" column for The Boston Globe Ideas section, and is a correspondent for The Atlantic. Thanassis regularly contributes to The New York Times, The Globe (where he served as a foreign correspondent in Iraq and the Middle East), and other publications. He is a fellow at The Century Foundation in New York City. He lives in Beirut, Lebanon with his wife Anne Barnard, a reporter for The New York Times, and their two children.
Since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, Thanassis has covered America's "War on Terror" at home and abroad. In the federal courts he followed the rights-stripping and new prosecution strategies that targeted terrorism suspects, militant groups, and international finance. In the American political arena he covered the interventionist foreign policy consensus, and the norms that limited political engagement with groups considered foes of America. In the Middle East, he spent three years in Iraq covering society there in the aftermath of the US invasion. He traced the Islamist revival from Iraq to the Levant, covering the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood through its peak in Egypt last year. He covered the 2006 war between Israel and Lebanon, and the Arab uprisings that began in late 2010. He previously worked for the Associated Press in Greece and Indonesia.
While he lived in New York, Thanassis taught journalism and foreign policy at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and the New School's Graduate Program in International Affairs in New York City. In 2009 Cambanis served as a Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton University, teaching a seminar of his own design called "Writing About War." Thanassis studied international affairs for a master's degree at Princeton University, and did his undergraduate work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Lucretius and the Toleration of Intolerable Ideas
Stephen Greenblatt is a Pulitzer Prize winning American literary critic, theorist, and scholar. Regarded as one of the founders of New Historicism, a set of critical practices, which broadly focuses on understanding literature through its historical context and intellectual history through literature, Greenblatt became extremely influential in the 1990s when he introduced the term. In 2012, Professor Greenblatt's book, The Swerve: How the World Became Modern (2011), received the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction. The Puliter board cited The Swerve as "a provocative book arguing that an obscure work of philosophy, discovered nearly 600 years ago, changed the course of history by anticipating the science and sensibilities of today."
Before writing The Swerve, Professor Greenblatt was a prolific author and he wrote, edited, and published numerous articles and books, including but not limited to: Shakespeare's Freedom (2010); Cultural Mobility (2010); Will in the World (2004); Hamlet in Purgatory (2001); Co-gen. ed. The Norton Anthology of English Literature (2000); Practicing New Historicism (with Catherine Gallagher, 2000); Gen. ed. Norton Shakespeare (1997); ed. New World Encounters (1993); ed. Redrawing the Boundaries (1992); Marvelous Possessions (1991); Learning to Curse (1990); Shakespearean Negotiations (1988); Renaissance Self-Fashioning (1980).
His many honors include the Modern Language Association's James Russell Lowell Prize, for Shakespearean Negotiations: The Circulation of Social Energy in Renaissance England, the Distinguished Humanist Award from the Mellon Foundation, the Distinguished Teaching Award from the University of California, Berkeley. He is also a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.
Currently, Stephen Greenblatt is the John Cogan University Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University. He earned his B.A. from Yale in 1964, his M.Phil from Cambridge in 1966, and his Ph.D. from Yale in 1969.
Stephen Greenblatt is the Ricardo J. Quinones Distinguished Lecturer for 2013. Sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, Greenblatt's Athenaeum talk centers on why and how the utterly unacceptable ideas reintroduced by the recovery of De rerum natura in 1417 managed to survive and be transmitted during pre-Enlightenment centuries that had no concept of toleration.
What You Need to Know about the Economy You Will Be Entering
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; PROGRAM 12:00 p.m.
Michael R. Strain and Stan Veuger are economists at the American Enterprise Institute and are speaking to college students across the country about how to prepare for a rapidly changing economy. In this increasingly tech-driven, complex, and global economy, what skills do you need to focus on in order to compete and succeed? What does the current federal fiscal position mean for you? How should you prepare for the long-term issues the economy is facing? How do the politics of the economy factor in? They will address these questions and more in the context of the current political environment in this discussion-based Ath talk. This program is sponsored by the Executive Council of the American Enterprise Institute's On Campus Program at CMC.
Michael R. Strain's academic research fits broadly within labor economics and applied microeconomics. Strain began his career in the research group of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Before joining AEI, he managed the New York Census Research Data Center, a U.S. Census Bureau research facility.
Stan Veuger is a resident scholar at AEI. His academic research focuses on political economy and applied microeconomics, and has been published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics. Before joining AEI, Dr. Veuger was a teaching fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard College, and Universitat Pompeu Fabra. He is a board member of the Netherland-American Foundation in Washington and was a National Review Institute Washington Fellow.
Conning Harvard
Julie Zauzmer began covering the case of Adam Wheeler, a student who faked his way into Harvard, when she was a freshman at Harvard herself. Her reporting led her to write a book, Conning Harvard: Adam Wheeler, the Con Artist Who Faked His Way into the Ivy League (2012), all about how Wheeler tricked the admissions office and bilked the university out of tens of thousands of dollars.
In her Athenaeum talk, Ms. Zauzmer will talk about Wheeler's story, its implications for the college admissions process and the pursuit of academic integrity, and the ethical and stylistic challenges she confronted while writing the book.
Julie served as the Managing Editor of The Harvard Crimson in 2012 and graduated in 2013. She is now a full-time reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
How To Get A Job Anywhere: The Nationalization of Our Liberal Arts Colleges
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; PROGRAM 12:00 p.m. PARENTS DINING ROOM
The Claremont Colleges — and other liberal arts colleges across the country — increasingly describe themselves as national liberal arts colleges. Why? How does thinking about liberal arts colleges as national institutions change what students are taught and how they are taught to think? How might it change what liberal arts colleges are? What, if anything, remains distinctive about the mission of the liberal arts college in contemporary America?
Will Barndt is Assistant Professor of Political Studies at Pitzer College. He received his B.A. from Colby College and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University. His teaching and research explore the social foundations of democratic practice in the Western Hemisphere, with particular attention to conservative and agrarian politics. Before arriving at Pitzer, he taught at Pomona College, the New Jersey Governor's School for Public Issues, and the University of California-Riverside, where he was named "Professor of the Year" in 2010 by the University Honors Program.
The Role of Religion: Apolitical but not Apathetic
PROGRAM 2:30 p.m.
Buddhist monks, leaders, nuns should be examples of calm and tolerance and remind everybody that the things that unite us far, far exceed the things that divide us.
-Phra Ajahn Jayasaro
Ajahn Jayasaro (originally Sean Michael Chiverton) was born on the Isle of Wight, England in 1958. Twenty years later he moved to Thailand and became a disciple of Ajahn Chah, one of the most renowned Buddhist spiritual leaders of this past century. In 1980 Ajahn Jayasaro became a fully ordained monk in the Thai Forest Tradition of Buddhism. He was appointed by elders of the monastic order to write the official biography of Ajahn Chah, and served as the Abbot of the Wat Pa Nanachat Monestary.
Thai Forest Tradition is a branch of Theravada Buddhism, which is believed to have remained closest to the original teachings of Buddha. The Forest Tradition strongly emphasizes the importance of meditation and reaching enlightenment. At Thai Forest Monasteries, monks follow Buddha's path to enlightenment, and embrace a life of discipline, renunciation of the physical world, and meditation.
Since 2003 Ajahn Jayasaro has lived in hermitage, but occasionally travels to teach and share his wisdom. Although the time he spends doing this is limited, he has emerged as a leader and advocate for incorporating many Therevada Buddhist principles into aspects of public life. In today's exceptionally polarized political climate, Jayasaro's message about the power of Buddhist teachings to harmonize conflicting groups in society is of great importance.
Ajahn Jayasaro comes to the Athenaeum as a guest of CMC alumna, Somruthai Prasarttongosoth, class of 1989.

Baseball Falls 6-2 at Newberry; Face Charlotte 49ers on Thursday
February 19, 2013
NEWBERRY, S.C. - Despite a 3-for-4 day at the plate by Jon Gray, Pfeiffer University fell to host Newberry College 6-2 in non-conference baseball action on a chilly Tuesday afternoon. The Wolves move to 7-5 on the year while the Falcons drop to 1-9.
After Newberry used a two-run homer in the first and sacrifice fly in the third, all by Ryan Cranmer, Pfeiffer got on the board with two in the fourth to make it a 3-2 game. Kevin Price would leadoff with a double to left-center and later score on a wild pitch for Pfeiffer's first run of the day. Gray would follow with his first hit of the day blasting a solo shot down the left-field line slicing the deficit down to one. Newberry would add insurance in the fifth and seventh inning's to secure the four-run victory.
Wesley Camp also went 3-for-4 to lead Newberry behind Cranmer's 2-for-3 with four RBI. In addition to Gray, Price went 2-for-4 with a run scored. Newberry would out-hit Pfeiffer 9-6 in the win.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Thursday playing in a newly-added contest with the recent weekend snow. The Falcons will travel down south to take on division one's Charlotte 49ers at 4:00 p.m.

Shepherd Ties Career-High with Seven Goals as Men's Lacrosse Throttles Lees-McRae 19-1
March 31, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pfeiffer University's James Shepherd (St. John, NEW BRUNSWICK) tied a career-high with seven goals during a 19-1 romp over Lees-McRae College in Conference Carolinas men's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons move to 10-3 overall winning their sixth-straight, 4-0 in league play, while the Bobcats dip to 1-9, 0-4.
Justin Rose (Rochester, NY) and Shepherd got the day's scoring underway early in the first quarter as Shepherd would have himself a hat trick by the end of the first 15 minutes.
Shepherd would add two more in the second along with Rose. Tucker Hammock (Marietta, GA) would have three goals along with Rose at the end of the second.
Pfeiffer continued their onslaught with eight more strikes in the second half led by Shepherd's final two of the day with Rose and Hammock later tallying man-up goals. Cole Paciejewski (Prince George, BRITISH COLUMBIA) finished the day with a pair of strikes in the fourth quarter.
Both teams combined for 23 penalties covering 20:30 of action on the day.
Pfeiffer gets back to action next Saturday traveling to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with a showdown against the nation's top team Mercyhurst.

An Evolutionary View of the Economics of the Family
Can our evolutionary history help us to understand modern families? Many of the fundamental issues related to parental affection, parent-offspring conflict, nepotism, sibling rivalry, cooperation, and conflict between the sexes have deep evolutionary roots. Though technology has drastically changed, the problems faced may remain remarkably similar to those that were faced by our human ancestors and that continue to be encountered by other animals. In his Athenaeum lecture, Professor Ted Bergstrom will offer his insights into how evolutionary biology can contribute to understanding economic and social relations within families, and will suggest some ways in which modern economics and game theory can assist biologists in thinking about evolution.
Professor Bergstrom earned his undergraduate degree from Carleton College and his Ph.D. in economics from Stanford University. He is currently professor at the University of Santa Barbara, where he occupies the Aaron and Cherie Raznick Chair in Economics.

The GOP needs McKenna
Republican Party Chair Kirby Wilbur, who poobahed the state GOP since 2011, announced his resignation Monday. Wilbur is headed to Washington, D.C., to work for a conservative group, the Young America Foundation.
While Wilbur entertained reporters with canny sound bites, he didn't leave his party stronger. The only statewide elected Republican is Secretary of State Kim Wyman, and the state Senate only swung Republican thanks to two Democratic defectors. Granted, Wilbur can't shoulder blame for evolving demographics and a voter tendency to conflate national Republicans with local and state officeholders.
McKenna, Washington's well-regarded former attorney general who lost a gubernatorial bid to Jay Inslee in 2012, is the kind of sensible-center Republican that Democrats and Independents respect. McKenna's non-doctrinaire style also might be his undoing in a run for chair. The Democrats' favorite Republican is like the Republicans' favorite Democrat -- persona non grata among party faithful.
Parties are animated by activists and activists operate on the margins. Read through the Democratic and Republican party platforms to get a taste. Republicans come off as anti-immigrant knuckle draggers; Democrats as statist Quakers with a pot plant in every yard.
A winning party needs to be more than the sum of its parts. McKenna has the leadership and savvy to articulate a clear, strong message and revive a pragmatic, female-friendly, third-way tradition manifested by Dan Evans, Sam Reed and Ralph Munro. (The one trouble with the Evans/Reed/Munro meme is it gets trotted out every election by nostalgic scribes, but is never realized.)
Taking the party reins may not be in McKenna's professional interest. He currently practices law and launched a web forum, www.smartergovernmentwa.org, to float and debate policy. Party chairs need to play the bulldog and that will alienate the very nonpartisans McKenna needs to cultivate if he runs again for governor.
The late Jennifer Dunn offers an inspired counter example. Dunn went from Republican chair to service in the U.S. Congress. Serving as a bridge-building party chief can in fact be a springboard to higher office.
Is it better to elbow change from without or within? If McKenna opts for without and Republicans tap a garden-variety hack, there will be little need to hold a press conference. Reporters can recite the boilerplate from memory.

It is certainly ambiguous for those with multiple machines; luckily, the backup disks were excluded.
One servers at home has disks about 55% full, while the other is less than 20%. One desktops has disks about 60% full, while the other has them about 40% full. The laptops have disks which are 30% full and 40% full. I picked 40-60% as the poll option as it is sort-of representative, but it could have been trickier if the various machines all had widely different percentages.
Crashplan offers very reasonable rates for a family plan, as low as $8.96/month for up to 10 computers and they have clients for Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can even continue to use your NAS since they support backups to local folders in addition to the cloud backup and you can even get the machines to cross backup each other for the most critical files.

I personally found this to be true. This also relates to the increase in bandwidth - the more I have, the more I'll make use of.

A full disk is not very efficient. If the data is read-only, by all means, keep it full and organized so that the file-system structures are optimal. If you want constant read AND write efficiency, you don't WANT to go over 80% full, as the file-system structures get inefficient. I recall from databases class at uni the teacher mentioned that a database is at it's optimal state when it's approximately 60% full. I don't know how it relates to HDDs, though.
I would go up to something like 98% instead of 80%. It's just too much to throw 20% of the capacity of you bought away, and 2% is still plenty of free space in modern large HDDs.
No, we notice a slowdown once you pass ~90% full and another significant one when you pass ~95% full. Perhaps it's just that the IOPS/GB of active data gets too high when we get to that full but it's pretty noticeable on the performance graphs.

NEW ORLEANS - Krewes across the city are gearing up to kick off the first major parade weekend of Carnival. The parades are rolling a week early to make way for the Super Bowl next Sunday.
But for many of the krewes rolling this weekend, that's creating some logistical nightmares and financial headaches.
Among the 11 krewes affected are Cleopatra and Choctaw, which normally parade on the West Bank but are rolling on the East Bank for the first time in history this year because of logistical issues associated with the Super Bowl.
'[City officials] figure if we come over to the East Bank, they wouldn't have to be splitting police up during Super Bowl season,' said Dolores Kepner, captain of Cleopatra. 'That was good for New Orleans, that was good for all of us.'
But not everyone agrees. Leaders in the Krewe of Choctaw say membership dropped drastically this year because of the early roll and route change.
'They do need to recognize that it created not only huge headaches and logistical nightmares, but some actual, real, hard-cost expenses,' said Scott Brennan, Krewe of Choctaw board member. 'Tens of thousands easily is probably what we've personally seen [as far as] impact between lost membership dues and extra expenses, easily tens of thousands.'
The early roll also meant a major time crunch for receiving imported throws, especially because of delays from a dock strike in California last month.
Cleopatra opted to spend thousands of dollars to overnight throws and vital costume pieces.
'We had to fly things in from China and we had to overnight everything from New York so that was quite expensive, but as I say, you have to do what you have to do,' said Kepner.
Most krewes received their throws at the last minute.
'Our signature logo bead is a streetcar float with a Choctaw logo on it,' said Brannon. 'It came in yesterday, so we were sweating that, it's been in customs, in the docks, loaded down.'
Rolling early has also created a logistical nightmare when it comes to loading floats.
Since Choctaw and Cleopatra are rolling on the East Bank instead of the West Bank this year, they are not loading in their usual parking lot. Instead they parked in the only space they could find -- a dark alley near the river in the Lower Garden District.
'Normally we've got a large parking lot that is well lit, easy to secure and monitor,' said Brannon. 'Now we're staging in an area like this. It's difficult.'
Still, Kepner said that Cleopatra's membership actually increased this year. She attributes it to excitement on the East Bank surrounding another female night krewe, and said the krewe is still deciding whether it will return to the West Bank next year.
Meanwhile, Choctaw said it is already looking forward to it's return to it's regular West Bank route next year.
But, in the true Carnival spirit, the krewes say it's all worth it to parade in New Orleans.
Last time New Orleans hosted a Super Bowl in 2002, the NFL compensated krewes that rolled early. City officials say, that's because 9/11 prompted a last-minute change in date for the Super Bowl.
This time, they say, krewes had a one-year notice that they would roll early.
'Nobody prepares better than the city of New Orleans. We're the envy of cities around the world in the way that we can present large events,' said Scott Hutcheson, the mayor's adviser for cultural economy.
Hutcheson sits in on the mayor's Mardi Gras Advisory Committee, which consists of krewe captains, and said he had not heard any complaints about the early roll.
But krewe captains said the 11 parading groups rolling early collectively wrote a letter to Mayor Mitch Landrieu and city council members in the fall, asking for a meeting regarding the logistical hardships of rolling early and the possibility of compensation.
Krewe of Pontchartrain Captain Sam Scandaliato said the city has not responded. 'Everybody else gets compensation for everything else they do, but the Mardi Gras clubs, who bring a lot of money into the city, they ignore us, and we're back year after year after year,' said Scandaliato.
Meanwhile, a spokesman said the NFL said it is not considering reimbursing those krewes rolling early this year because the Super Bowl date has been scheduled since 2009.

22 Richard Kahui (NZ)
The positions in which there was most competition definitely in the centres and at loose-forward. Wales' Toby Faletau had a huge game against the Boks, but Sergio Parisse is the most complete No 8 at this tournament. It was hard to leave Schalk Burger out of the Form XV but Lobbe was immense against England. Jerome Kaino, David Pockock, Heinrich Brussouw and Radike Samo also had huge games in round 1.
Sonny Bill Williams was also very good, but Jamie Roberts get the nod because of the quality of the opposition and the intensity of the match.
A selection that may surprise many is Ben Alexander at tighthead. I was at that game and those first 40 minutes were brutal. He stood up to the Italian pack who couldn't get parity in those first 40 minutes. There was one magnificent shove that should have resulted in a pushover try, but all-round I think Alexander will end this tournament as the most talked about tighthead.
Fill up the thread with your picks of round one.

COLUMBUS — The Ohio Chamber of Commerce pledged Wednesday to put money and the political clout of its 6,000 business members behind the state's new collective bargaining law.
Voters in November will consider a ballot question seeking a repeal of the law, which would let public worker unions negotiate on wages but not health care, sick time or pension benefits. The board members of the state's largest business advocacy group voted in a Wednesday meeting to defend the law and to also back an effort to keep Ohioans from being required to buy health insurance.
The board did not decide how much to money it planned to spend in defense of the contentious collective bargaining legislation, said Ohio Chamber spokeswoman Julie Wagner Feasel. The board members also did not commit any dollars in backing a proposed amendment to Ohio's constitution that would prohibit any federal, state or local law from forcing Ohioans to participate in a health care system.
On both ballot issues though, the Ohio Chamber plans leverage support from its members through newsletters and e-mails, Feasel said. The group also wants to work with other local chambers to educate voters.
Andrew E. Doehrel, president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber, said that in its decision to defend the collective bargaining law, the board "recognized the fundamental imbalance" between the cost of government and Ohio's economic reality.
"By committing the Chamber's resources, financial and otherwise, to this important endeavor, Ohio's job creators are reiterating the message that Ohio must be open for business," Doehrel said in a written statement.
The chamber's support should give the backers of the collective bargaining law and the so-called Healthcare Freedom Amendment a welcomed boost from businesses going into what's expected to be a bitter fall campaign against labor unions.
The most recent campaign filing reports show that the group opposing the collective bargaining law has raised about $7 million.
The state's labor groups representing teachers, police officers and firefighters have also turned to their members to help pay for the repeal campaign. For instance, members of the Ohio Education Association have already agreed to a one-time, $54 dues increase. The move was expected to yield $5.5 million for the ballot effort.
The law signed by Gov. John Kasich in late March bans public employee strikes and restricts collective bargaining rights for more than 350,000 teachers, police officers, state employees and others. Aside from restricting bargaining, it bans strikes and gets rid of automatic pay increases, replacing them with merit raises or performance pay.
Other business groups have also recently thrown their support behind upholding the collective bargaining restrictions. They include the Greater Cleveland Partnership, one of the largest metropolitan chambers of commerce in the country, and chambers of commerce in Cincinnati and Dayton.
Opponents contend the collective bargaining restrictions are an unfair attack on public employee unions that had worked cooperatively with their government employers for decades. They accuse lawmakers of exploiting a state budget crisis to pass a measure unpopular with a majority of Ohioans.
However, Kasich, a first-term governor, and his GOP colleagues argue the legislation will help city officials, school superintendents and others control their costs at a time when they, too, are feeling budget woes. Kasich has said he wants to play a visible role defending the law.
The governor has enjoyed strong ties with the chamber since his campaign for office. Last September, the chamber's political arm broke a 117-year tradition of not wading into the gubernatorial election by endorsing Kasich over then-Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland.
This fall's ballot issues are not the first that the Ohio Chamber has supported.
While the group tends to stay out of ballot questions on social issues such as gay marriage, its board members have weighed in on matters they see could impact businesses. For instance, the chamber worked to successfully get voters to extend the high-tech Third Frontier grant program, which began in 2002 and provides startup money for companies in industries such as alternative energy and biomedical research.
Also Wednesday, the state Ballot Board approved the wording Ohioans will see Nov. 8 when they vote on the health care amendment. The panel was also to decide the ballot language for the fate of the collective bargaining law.
