Taste of the Nation: Resilient despite rain and races
4th edition
Together with BRDC we are pleased to announce the launch the fourth edition of Taste of the Nation - Resilient despite rain and races. For those executives who have experienced the changing dynamics of the going out sector, we hope this edition of our Taste of the Nation survey provides a valuable insight into how the business may evolve.
The survey continues to track the UK consumers' going out habits across the eating and drinking out sub-sectors at a national and regional level and sheds light on the size of the market and its opportunities. This edition's special feature looks at the use of vouchers, considering consumers' expectations of vouchers and whether they deliver what consumers expect.
Consumers correctly predicted a slow but steady improvement in the market over the summer - a period that included the significant distortion of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the Diamond Jubilee weekend. While the net impact of those events is uncertain, the going out market once again proved resilient. With the economy emerging from a double-dip recession, and news flow fluctuating between positive and negative, UK consumers remain cautious overall, but expect growth on some areas.
Key findings
- Generation Y going out 3.7% less often each month;
- London suffers a blip, down 9% versus six months ago, but bounce-back expected;
- Overall consumers are still going out more often with visits up 3%;
- Women are going out more often, on average 17.9 times;
- Average spend per head continues to increase in all areas except quick service and casual dining;
- With the exception of quick service outlets and causal dining, all areas of the market have seen a growth in average spend per visit since the same time last year;
- A challenging Christmas is on the cards as consumers predict an 8% drop in going out occasions over the festive period;
- UK consumers are now going out on average 20.4 times a month, a 3.1% increase when compared to 19.8 times six months ago;
- When using a voucher, Generation Y prioritises value for money above the quality of food and drink;
- Consumers in London are more likely to prioritise the quality of food and drink with a voucher, than other regions.

We have a funny feeling this quote from Jerry Cantrell will lead to a number of "teen spirited" debates. In a recent interview with Cleveland.com, Cantrell was asked about Nirvana's recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and said he, "was surprised to see them go in before Pearl Jam." He elaborated, "They went in for 'Bleach,' which wasn't a big record till 'Nevermind' became a big record." Okay, sure…Cantrell may not have been aware that a band is eligible for induction 25 years after their first release ("Bleach" was released in 1989.) However, this quote is still telling in reference to which Seattle band he prefers (Alice in Chains excluded, obviously) and only helps support that the "Nirvana vs. Pearl Jam" debate is the "Beatles vs. Rolling Stones" debate of Generation X.

Avett Brothers at the Lawn at White River (Slideshow)
Photos of Avett Brothers at the Lawn at White River on Sept. 30 by Lora Olive.
I've seen the Avetts more times than I can count. Well...actually, I just counted. I've seen them six times. Three of those have been at the Lawn at White River State Park, where they return yearly in early fall. I always enjoy them, and I'll always come back.
I'm a big fan of the group's first few albums, particularly the massive, kinetic Four Thieves Gone. Their last two Rubin-ized albums (I and Love and You, The Carpenter) still retain the song-writing prowess, but they've lost some of the frenetic energy that drew me to them. Their lives shows are the same. I'll always remember the almost-mosh pit that greeted them at their Columbus date several years ago, but I appreciate the delicacy and sweetness of their new releases. The Avetts have settled down; they're dads, they're polished musicians, they're -- Rick Rubin'd. It's a different experience, but no less pleasurable.
This 27-song set -- with a Neutral Milk Hotel cover! -- was even more meaningful to me this time, because I had some time to talk to Scott Avett this week about the way they design their show experiences. Although, much like the tall Norweigian at the Oslo show Avett spoke of, I was disappointed they didn't perform "I and Love and You" and "If It's the Beaches" (two of my favorites), I understand now that the Avetts are trying to take the audience on a journey.
And that journey, at this show, included an encore with their father, musician and welder Jim Avett. For a band that is a lot about togetherness, the addition of their father made the Bros. Avett's voices ring even sweeter to me.
Complaints? I barely have them -- we can all moan and groan about the length of the line getting into the Lawn, but it moved quickly and efficiently (a group of people that know they're about to see the Avetts are a happy bunch). I for one appreciated the lack of an opener. The event was billed as an evening with the Avett Brothers, and it was only that --with the addition of a dad! It was an Evening with the Avett Family.Set List: Shame

Barack Obama Boldly Leads the Way Forward With Talking Points About Former Governor of Alaska
5:18 PM, Sep 9, 2009 • By MARY KATHARINE HAM
What is it they call this in the Obama White House? A distraction?
Here's the pertinent part of the talking points, addressing the attacks of John McCain's former running mate and the former governor of Alaska:
The Senate Finance Committee didn't think her claims were all without merit (nor did such well-known wing-nuts as Eugene Robinson and Charles Lane), as Palin's rough rhetoric led them to change the language of their bill.
But regardless of Palin's arguments, it's hard to see how talking points featuring Palin signal a departure from Obama's approach of old. There are better ways to signal the new "details" and "clarity" of one's 28th health-care pitch than to start by slamming the former vice-presidential nominee of 2008, who currently holds no political office or official position.

Father of Iconic Blue Coffee Cup Dies
Leslie Buck, who designed the Anthora, was 87
If you live in New York City—if you've ever lived in New York City—then chances are you're familiar with the Anthora. In fact, you've probably paid $1 to a street vendor at 8:52 in the morning and been given an Anthora filled with hot, overly sweet coffee. The blue cardboard coffee cup with the vaguely (and clearly inauthentically) Grecian design is ubiquitous in New York; it appears in countless movies and TV shows (Law & Order alone must have gone through a hundred); I've even seen great ceramic mugs made to look like the cups at a Williamsburg coffeeshop. We learn today the story behind the Anthora, and the story behind the man behind the Anthora, because that man died. Better learning too late than never.
Leslie Buck, who designed the Anthora in 1963 while working at the Sherri Cup Company was, as you've probably guessed, not Greek. He was born Laszlo Büch in modern-day Ukraine. He survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald; his parents didn't.
Buck designed the cup to look Greek—he had precisely zero formal art training—because he knew who owned many of the city's delis. He used Classical-esque lettering, and drew a group of lines that look like something from an ancient marble column. And he also put a picture of an amphora, a classical Greek vase, on the cup's side. " 'Anthora' comes from 'amphora,' as filtered through Mr. Buck's Eastern European accent," the article reports. That's the kind of detail that makes my job easier.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Or is it everyone in the neighborhood move the hell over as these two steamroll their way in and build a Kimye Kingdom in the area?
The power couple (yes, they're a power couple these days, deal. with. it.) is on the move, scoping out prime real estate in the luxurious Hidden Hills area of Calabasas where a 30-acre plot worth $10 million caught their attention.
The land in question is literally a mountain overlooking the rest of the community. It's a barren piece of land—basically a continent—and we can only imagine what Kim and Kanye would want to build there: a moat? Drawbridge? Helicopter pad?
Just south is Jessica Simpson's 2.5-acre, $11.5 million property where the celebs would be sharing a driveway, according to real estate site Trulia.

COLUMBIA CITY — Tri-Lakes residents could possibly see an increase in their sewer bills starting in June.
Expensive sewer repairs and rising maintenance costs have led the Tri-Lakes Sewer District to visit the idea of increasing rates .97 cents.
According to the District Administrator Carol Martin the average sewer bill will increase from $37.88 to $38.85 for Phase I customers. Phase II customers, on average, will see a new amount of $51.40.
CHURUBUSCO — Chuck Zumbrun has been farming off and on for nearly 40 years. He recently swapped farming notes with a visiting farmer from Australia.
As a fourth-generation farmer, Zumbrun connected through social media with Bryan Granshaw, a third-generation farmer from Queensland, Australia.
The two were able to come together to share ideas about soil sustainability and management through the concept of companion cropping.
Editor's note: All three Whitley County high school principals were asked to nominate three students who they deemed up and coming leaders.
Each student was asked a series of questions and will be highlighted during the next week. One student will be selected by The Post & Mail as the overall Leaders of Tomorrow.
CHURUBUSCO — Colton Geiger is a senior at Churubusco Junior-Senior High School and The Post & Mail's pick as runner up in the Leaders of Tomorrow search.
Q: What activities are you involved in at school or within the community?

There is simply way too many spoilers and spy footage for The Dark Knight Rises coming out. I'm not a fan of spoilers but in doing my job, I unfortunately come across them regardless if I want to see them or not. That is why I'm not putting this on the news page.
When Warner Bros. revealed the image of Anne Hathaway, many questioned her costume. I said that the goggles probably have something to do with controlling Batman's bike. Either that or it's some sort of night-vision goggles, which doesn't really make sense since she's out in the daylight (unless that will be fixed with a lens filter).
As for the question of whether or not Selina Kyle will wear standard goggles, a mask or nothing at all, this image from ComicBookMovie.com shows an image of a stunt double and pretty much answers the question.

Skin Problems: Hives, Swollen Feet Soles, Coming a...
I am 19 years old living in Salt Lake City. I am currently getting over a sinus...
Posted by
I am 19 years old living in Salt Lake City. I am currently getting over a sinus infection that was typical in symptoms (sore throat, fever, stuffiness, drowsiness, congestion in sinus etc.) and the final day when I actual felt better everything seemed fine until I started breaking out in mosquito sized itches. They were raised slightly on the skin and were red. they occurred at first on my arms, legs, and torso and then worsened into giant blotchy hive-like rashes. They itched awfully and once big enough began to burn almost. The blotches reached about 8 inches across in some areas especially my thighs. It was 9:00 at night when it was at its worst, and I couldn't do anything about it really. the next morning I was still really itchy around my ankles and parts of my legs but most of the blotches dissapeared. One wierd symptom is that my soles of my feet swelled up and it is very painful to walk on them. It feels as though there are sores on the soles of my feet. i thought my nightmare was healing up but i still went to my campus nurse who wrote me a perscription for clobetasol propionate cream ( an intense topical steriod) I had used this medication to help with past excema and he told me to use it with caution. Later that day i broke out in hives exclusively on my face. This left in an hour or so and later on at about 7 pm my body started to break out in the same stages it did the previous night. I plan to see a doctor soon. Is this eczema possibly? does eczema react this way? The topical steriod cream I was given does not seem to be working, which is odd seeing as my cream is one of the most potent on the market. The meds i took while sick was Allegra, Bennedryll, and a couple table spoons of Day-Quill so maybe i'm having an allergic reaction to these drugs. Would they have worn off by now? What I have seems like an allergic reaction but I am eating my normal diet (less because of loss of appetite due to sickness) and overall I am very healthy. Healthy weight, diet, exercise very regularly (except when i'm sick). What do you think? Anyone ever have this experience before?

AKVIS Frame Suite Christmas decorations
updated 10:35 am EST, Mon December 17, 2007
AKVIS Frame Suite 2.6
AKVIS has released AKVIS Frame Suite 2.6 for Mac and Windows systems. AKVIS Frame Suite enables users to apply frames and edge effects to pictures, simplifying the process of creating greeting cards from personal photos. The latest revision adds new Christmas decorations to the pattern library, joining the 12 edge effects to provide a vast number of photo frame possibilities. AKVIS Frame Suite 2.6 is available for $50, and requires a G3 or better Mac. The software is also compatible with Mac OS X Leopard.
"Photo frames that come with Frame Suite can be easily tailored to your particular photo. Select a color for the frame; choose its form, its style, brightness, and the intensity of the applied edge effect," says AKVIS. "You can create a frame with ragged edges, scratched surface, a page curl, etc. It can be a wooden frame with figured carving or a frame with an ornament."
The application enables users to apply a transparent frame, using the lower layers as a background, while the 'Texture' effect applies a texture -- either custom created or chosen from the built-in Texture Library.

Top Medical Research Centers Form Velos Advisory Group for Service-Oriented Architecture
- Objectives Include Interoperability, Collaboration, Clinical Research Advancement -
"At M. D. Anderson, we concluded early in this process that interoperability of Velos with a variety of legacy institutional applications, as well as National Cancer Institute (NCI) applications and resources, was a critical success factor for our research informatics initiatives," stated
Dr. Jones led efforts to form the Advisory Group, conferring with other members who are at various stages of implementing Velos eResearch to support clinical trials management. Each member has demonstrated a significant interest in a service-oriented approach to the Velos implementation. It is intended that each institution's objectives be harmonized with those of Velos and with data standards such as those in the NCI's caDSR. This will help all members achieve the goal of interoperability.
SOA is a design approach that focuses on loosely-coupled interfaces connecting multiple software agents. An SOA infrastructure enables different software applications to exchange data with one another. Using SOA principles, organizations can create new, integrated or interoperating solutions leveraging systems and databases already in place.
"We are pleased at the formation of this Advisory Group and gratified to see institutions of such high stature as its charter members," said

The report covers the office, residential, retail and hospitality market segments of Jeddah.
June 2, 2010 12:51 by Rasha Reslan
Wednesday 2 June 2010 – Despite the impact of the global economic turmoil, disastrous floods and the H1N1 virus, Jeddah will reap the benefits of new public and private investment in the real estate market according to Jones Lang LaSalle's latest report "Jeddah: Planning for Growth". This report covers the office, residential, retail and hospitality market segments of Jeddah. Jones Lang LaSalle is a pre-eminent name in the global real estate industry with 180 offices worldwide and has worked in 22 countries in the MENA region on projects worth USD 200 billion and on transactions in excess of USD 1.2 billion.
The residential sector offers the most opportunities. Jeddah accounts for 14% of the national population of Saudi Arabia with around 3.4 million people. While this figure will increase, driven by the young local demographic structure and the continued attraction of expatriate labour, the demand for housing more rapidly than the population; given the faster rate of household formation and improvements in housing affordability.
John Harris, Head of Jones Lang LaSalle in Saudi Arabia said, "The Saudi economy enjoys scale, growth and stability, attributes which have seen it weather the recent economic crisis relatively well. In Jeddah in particular, we have seen a slowdown in property markets. However the medium and long term outlook is very positive with major infrastructure projects working to drive growth alongside investments in the office, residential, retail and hospitality sectors."
Major highlights included:
• Jeddah is investing heavily to improve its infrastructure. Investment in water, drainage and major transportation projects form the core of the urban renewal initiatives that could significantly change the face of Jeddah over the next 10 years.
• The housing sector remains the most buoyant real estate market at the present time. Developers are shifting interest within this sector to more affordable housing, which will receive a major boost when the long delayed mortgage law is passed.
• The office market continues to move in favour of tenants who are benefiting from more competitive market conditions in the face of an increasing choice of space and more flexible leasing terms.
• There are increasing opportunities for sale and leaseback arrangements as owners seek to free up capital currently tied up in real estate.

Illinois State Board of Elections v. Socialist Workers Party
|Illinois State Board of Elections v. Socialist Workers Party
|U.S. Supreme Court
|Text of decision
|A statutory requirement in Illinois that new political parties and independent candidates for elections in political subdivisions (specifically, Chicago) gather more than the number of signatures required for elections for statewide office was found to be unconstitutional.
|Case history
|January 24, 1977
|Trial court:
|U.S. District Court
|Appellate court:
|U.S. Court of Appeals
|Appellate court:
|U.S. Supreme Court
|Author, appellate decision:
|Thurgood Marshall
|Appellate court decision:
|February 22, 1979
New political parties and independent candidates were required to gather the signatures of 25,000 qualified voters in order to appear on the ballot for statewide elections. In political subdivisions of the state (cities, counties, etc.), the minimum number of required signatures was 5 percent of the number of persons who voted at the previous election for such office. By these provisions, new parties and independent candidates were required to gather more than 25,000 signatures required for statewide office in a special Chicago mayoral election in 1977.
The Socialist Workers Party, among other interested groups and individuals, filed actions challenging these signature requirements, arguing that the discrepancy constituted a violation of First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The U.S. District Court enjoined enforcement of the 5 percent provision in the event that it mandated more than 25,000 signatures, and the U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed that ruling.
In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the disputed statute violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, ruling that the state did not successfully establish that the requirements were necessary to serve a legitimate interest. Justice Thurgood Marshall wrote the following in the Court's opinion:
The States' interest in screening out frivolous candidates must be considered in light of the significant role that third parties have played in the political development of the Nation. Abolitionists, Progressives, and Populists have undeniably had influence, if not always electoral success. As the records of such parties demonstrate, an election campaign is a means of disseminating ideas, as well as attaining political office. Overbroad restrictions on ballot access jeopardize this form of political expression.[1][2]

They were the first Summer Olympic Games held in the United States in more than 50 years. The first Games in which female runners were permitted to compete in a marathon. The first Games to be organized and funded exclusively through private means–and the first to turn a significant profit. The first Games in which American track-and-field athletes openly endorsed commercial products, and the first to be marketed and produced primarily as a vehicle for mass televised entertainment. The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics were thick with firsts. But now, on their 30th anniversary, I mainly remember them as the first Summer Games happening in color.
In my imagination, all previous Olympics transpired in the black-and-white of archival photographs, Bud Greenspan–directed documentaries, and pre-instant-replay television; a chiaroscuro depicting an era of wars and cold wars, austere sacrifice, and grave historical import. Jesse Owens modestly grinning; Adolf Hitler scowling. Abebe Bikila gliding barefoot through the torch-lit streets of Rome. Billy Mills's inspired, broken-field weave down the cinder-track homestretch in Tokyo. These images and more unspool in a mental highlight film shot in stark, glorious black-and-white. (In actual fact, color broadcasts of the Olympics began in 1968.)
Fans waved because the doubts and anxieties of the Vietnam War era had faded, replaced by feelings of power and prosperity encouraged by the Ronald Reagan presidency (in a pre-Games pep talk to the U.S. team, recalling his signature movie role, the President urged the Olympians to "win one for the Gipper"). But they also waved because the home-team athletes on the Coliseum track ran and jumped so memorably.
They waved for Edwin Moses as he gracefully extended a historic streak of sustained excellence, and for Mary Decker up until the moment of her spectral, tragic fall. In the cases of Joan Benoit, the first female champion of the Games' longest running event, and Carl Lewis, the new master of its shortest, they waved because a pair of crossover legends had emerged to stand with the Olympic icons of any era. The fans at L.A. '84 waved their flags because, pomp, glitz, and circumstance aside, they witnessed the greatest track-and-field performances ever held on American soil.
* * *
Growing up in the 1960s, I had been a fervent fan of the Olympics and every high-minded ideal I believed they represented, lapping up each iconic televised moment, from Rome '60 to Mexico City '68. Reaching adulthood in the 1970s, however, I grew to regard the Olympics as a wasteful and antiquated quadrennial exercise in propaganda and worse. Save for Frank Shorter's gold-medal marathon, Munich '72 unfolded like a nightmare, defined by a terrorist attack that left 11 athletes dead. Four years later, the Montreal Games slid into debacle, remembered for anabolic-zonked Eastern bloc athletes mounting the medal podium and mountains of taxpayer debt. The nadir came at Moscow '80, when, to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. led 60 other nations in boycotting the Games. Bitterly divisive at home and abroad, the move threatened to doom the modern Olympic movement.
"Coming out of Moscow," says Alan Abrahamson, a journalism professor at the University of Southern California, "the Olympic brand was broken." So broken that, among all global capitals, only Los Angeles and Tehran, of all places, showed interest in hosting the 1984 Summer Games. In the end, L.A. won uncontested.
Could Los Angeles possibly be up to the task of restoring the Olympic luster? Sprawling, polluted, and garish, with its epic traffic congestion and seething racial and economic tensions, L.A. seemed the emblem of American excess and dysfunction. Needing to avoid the crushing public debt incurred by the Montreal Games, moreover, the LAOOC was staging these Games seemingly on the cheap, relying on corporate sponsorship, television rights, and volunteer labor. Rather than following Olympic tradition by building expensive new arenas and "athlete villages," the committee mainly employed repurposed venues (some of them relics of the '32 Games, which were also hosted by Los Angeles) tricked up by Sussman/Prejza.
And yet improbably, resoundingly, Los Angeles rose to the occasion. Dire warnings on Armageddon-grade gridlock got through to Angelinos–traffic congestion in the region dropped 20 percent during the first two weeks of August. The Golden State, San Diego, Ventura, and other flagship freeways flowed as lyrically as their names, and the air of the L.A. basin glistened with a preternatural clarity.
Meanwhile, a brisk air of competence ruled the sporting venues. Skillfully but not repressively organized by prominent businessman Peter Ueberroth, events clicked along with the type of smiling efficiency that characterized nearby Disneyland. Los Angeles seemed a city transformed. Even the hard South Central neighborhoods bordering the Coliseum had been swept clean. Proud householders waved from front porches, welcoming the world to their city. The Games ran a $223 million surplus, some of which endowed a foundation that, to this day, funds youth sports programs in Southern California.
"The genius of Peter Ueberroth was that he underpromised and overdelivered," says Abrahamson. "People here remember the time from Rafer Johnson lighting the cauldron at the opening ceremonies to the Rodney King Riots [in 1992] as a golden age in Southern California."
"Absolutely, we underpromised," says Ueberroth. "We used the 1948 London Olympics as a model. Coming out of World War II, nobody else wanted to host the Games, and nobody thought that London, after all the destruction it had suffered during the war, could make the Olympics a success. We were in a similar position. We had to rescue the Games. The fact that we overdelivered was due to hard work, good luck, and the talents of 25,000 volunteers, who in many cases dedicated a year of their lives to L.A. '84. We could have had a fiasco, and a lot depended on track and field. Track and field was the centerpiece and heartbeat of the Games. Thanks to the athletes, track and field went very well in Los Angeles, and everything fell into place around that."
ABC paid $225 million for the rights to televise the '84 Games, more than twice the $87 million paid by NBC for rights to the '80 Moscow Games (today those numbers seem quaint: NBC paid $4.4 billion for U.S. rights to the 2012–2020 Summer and Winter Games), and for the first time, its coverage–not to mention the sponsorship and advertising campaigns of other companies–was designed to appeal to a prime-time, non-sports-fan audience. Hollywood maven David Wolper produced the opening ceremony, setting the template for every Games-opening TV extravaganza since. The rocket man flew into the stadium, powered by a jet-pack. Eighty-four tuxedoed pianists pounded out Gershwin, and a 736-member All-American Olympic Band paraded through the arena. Such kitschy, jingoistic tropes are standard today–think of the air-brushed Russian history that Vladimir Putin staged for the opening ceremonies at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games–but they were all new at L.A. '84.
When the glitz subsided, however, we were reminded that some serious sporting business lay at hand, with track and field at its core. The granddaughter of the late Jesse Owens bore the Olympic torch into the Coliseum, providing a promo for ABC's upcoming prime-time mini-series in which a handsome, superbly talented young athlete, played by Carl Lewis, would attempt to match Owens's transcendent feat at the '36 Berlin Games: gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and 4 x 100 relay. (And just as Owens's performance jabbed a thumb in Hitler's eye, Lewis's triumphs in the same events would blow a raspberry at the Soviet-led nations, which, in retaliation for the Moscow boycott, refused to participate in these L.A. Games.)
Next, Edwin Moses, the lone American individual-running-event champion in Montreal and owner of a 104-race winning streak in the 400-meter hurdles, recited the Olympic Oath, a piece of old-school Olympic tradition. Finally, 1960 decathlon gold medalist Rafer Johnson–another hallowed ghost from the black-and-white past–climbed the proscenium steps and lit the Olympic Flame under the famous arches.
The L.A. '84 narrative in general, and its track-and-field subplot in particular, were now as perfectly framed as a Robert Towne screenplay: sparkling air and open freeways; private-sector can-do professionalism; a Hollywood aura of fun and flair; and a coterie of sublimely gifted runners, jumpers, and throwers performing at the peak of their power. "At L.A. '84 you had the rebirth of the Olympic movement coinciding with the prime of some very special American track athletes," says Joan Benoit Samuelson. "I'm not sure we'll ever see that combination again."

On Sunday, August 5, about three miles and 14 minutes into the inaugural Olympic Women's Marathon, with the morning overcast still hanging over the Santa Monica beaches, a slight, dark-haired, 27-year-old woman from the coast of Maine broke away from a lead pack that included the prerace favorites Grete Waitz and Ingrid Kristiansen of Norway, and Rosa Mota from Portugal. It was a bold, almost rash gambit that seemed to play directly into the hands of Joan Benoit's rivals.
The ensuing two-plus hours, of course, would emphatically prove Kristiansen wrong. Indeed, such was Benoit's mastery, so thoroughly did she dominate the race, that we assume her preparation must have been as flawless as her execution. But in fact, Benoit, known for her calm, grounded, balanced persona, arrived at the marathon after a season of crisis.
Early in 1984, as a result of overtraining, Benoit developed a serious injury in her right knee. Just 17 days before the first U.S. Olympic Women's Marathon Trials in May, Dr. Stan James performed arthroscopic surgery in Eugene, Oregon. "The next week I could run pain-free," Benoit recalls. "It was so dramatic. Surgery is supposed to be like this, but it almost never is."
Benoit immediately resumed hard training. Compensating for her tender knee, however, she blew out her left hamstring, an injury that proved more debilitating than the original issue. Less than a week remained before the Marathon Trials, and Benoit couldn't run without pain. Desperate for a second deus ex machina cure, she turned to a self-taught therapist named Jack Scott, Ph.D. About to become one of the unifying, inspirational figures of the 1980s, Benoit entrusted herself to a notorious veteran of the previous decades' cultural wars. Indeed, Scott had been linked to a woman far better known than Benoit, and infinitely more divisive.
In the early 1970s, Scott, a former Stanford and Syracuse sprinter and UC-Berkeley-educated sports psychologist, published The Athletic Revolution, an influential book arguing for increased athletes' rights, equal opportunity for minority and female athletes, and freedom from authoritarian coaches and administrators. Later in the 1970s, Scott became enmeshed in the Patty Hearst saga, driving Hearst and her SLA fugitive comrades across the country from Berkeley to a Pennsylvania safe house. In 1975, Scott's involvement in the affair formed the centerpiece of a Rolling Stone cover story. For a time he was famous–or, for many Americans, reviled–across the nation.
Years of serious legal trouble ensued. In the 1980s, Scott resurfaced as a therapist working with a device called the Acuscope, which transmitted microcurrents of electricity to injured muscles as a form of physical therapy. Based in Eugene, Scott treated many top track athletes, including Carl Lewis. Now, just days before the most important race of her career, Scott turned his machine on a frantic Joan Benoit.
They worked for up to eight hours a day, the gimlet-eyed, bald-headed Scott zapping Benoit's hamstring with an urgency nearly as desperate as the athlete's. "I don't know if the Acuscope was a placebo or not," she says.
"All I know is that it worked. I don't remember talking politics with Jack, and we didn't discuss Patty Hearst. I do remember Jack's penetrating eyes, and how determined he was to help me. Jack Scott was a good man."
Before his death from cancer in 2000, I became friends with Scott. Still notorious for sheltering Hearst, he hoped to be remembered for helping to heal Benoit. "Since I was a little kid, the sport of track has always been my carrot," Scott told me. "In 1984, after all those crazy years, I just wanted to get back to my carrot."
At the Marathon Trials in Olympia, Washington, Benoit ran in an almost hypnotized state, expecting her tender leg to crumple with every step. "To this day, I don't know how I survived that race," she says. She held on to win in 2:31:04 and afterward dissolved in a grateful heap.
But Benoit wasn't finished. Returning to Maine, she dived back into hard training, piling up the 100-plus-mile weeks. She worked with added intensity because the Olympic Marathon was scheduled less than 90 days away. Besides wanting to win the inaugural women's Olympic Marathon, she had another motivation.
Before her Trials victory, in the fall of 1983, Benoit had traveled to Southern California for a tune-up half-marathon. A representative from Nike, her shoe sponsor, met her flight at LAX. "He asked me if I wanted to swing by the Coliseum and see my mural," Benoit Samuelson recalls. "I wasn't sure how to respond."
Thirty years ago, Nike had not yet evolved from a shoe and apparel company into a global leviathan. In fact, at the time the company's long-term profitability was not yet assured, having suffered a series of disappointing revenue years, drubbed by Reebok, which controlled the white-shoe aerobics market. So at L.A. '84, Nike executives chose not to spend nearly $4 million to secure official shoe sponsorship (Converse won that bid). Instead, Nike embarked on a campaign of "ambush marketing" that is still studied in the nation's MBA programs. The company commissioned giant murals of Benoit and other Nike athletes, which appeared on prominent locations close to Olympic venues. Before and during the Games, a Nike TV commercial aired with Randy Newman singing "I Love L.A."

I'm in a very tough situation. I am a SAHM. My husband and I moved to another state for his job so we have no family to babysit for us in order for me to work full time. We cannot afford child care. I currently have a job babysitting but my husband and I have so much debt that literally every penny goes toward bills and that's just our monthly payments. We can't get out of debt without me having some sort of extra income. What I make babysitting helps but it isn't enough. We have already sold many things, we owe more on our cars then We would get for trade in/selling, we cut down on expenses/food and coupon. Does anyone know of any jobs I can do from home or a job I can bring my kids with me too? Thanks

My family and I dont really use coupons because we find that it is usually for processed foods. We do however, use the ads to do price matching at either Wal-Mart or Target. One thing I have also done is buy dry beans and keep them on hand when they are on sale. This way I always have a quick side for dinner. To help with my grocery budget I make a menu for the week trying to use as many ingredients as I already have. I then make a list of what I dont have and put it into my shopping list app. This tells me of all the nearby deals in case I missed any in the ads. Also the faster you get in and out of the store the less money you spend.

For those of you with kids consider cloth diapers. I use Sunbaby pocket diapers they run about $8 to $12 each and they have really cute prints. I have 12 diapers and wash them every other day. I also use my homemade detergent. I bought the diapers a few at a time while I still had some disposables. Instead of buying more disposables I bought more cloth diapers. I dont even by wipes anymore. So for the past 3 months we have spent no money on diapers or wipes. queenlee313 43990209 2014-07-25 12:05:23 UTC false false queenlee313 43990209 6 lielah 58970634 tag:www.whattoexpect.com,2009-05-01:Forums::Topic/32913890 New here 3936 3937 total-money-makeover-stay-at-home-moms 32913890 32913890

Philippine warship in standoff with China vessels
The United States has insisted it takes no sides in the territorial dispute but says it should be solved peacefully. China has balked at what it considered a U.S. interference in the region.
The disputes over the Spratlys have settled into an uneasy standoff since the last major clash involving China and Vietnam killed more than 70 Vietnamese sailors in 1988.
Faced with China's formidable military, the Philippines and Vietnam have forged closer ties. Aside from military accords, the two countries have agreed to set up a hotline between their coast guards and maritime police to monitor maritime incidents, such as piracy and incursions into their territorial waters.
The Philippine navy announced Tuesday that Philippine and Vietnamese would play football and basketball matches in the islands they occupy in the Spratlys as a novel way to build trust in the contested region.

A painting by Rani Pooviah now finds a place in the K.C.S. Paniker Museum of the Madras Movement, thanks to a donation
Over 50 years ago, a young artist named Rani Pooviah lived in Chennai, and taught at the Government College of Fine Arts. One of very few women in the field at that time, she was a gifted artist, a beloved teacher, and an integral part of the group of visionary artists, led by K.C.S. Paniker, who founded Cholamandal Artists' Village in the 1960s.
A tragic accident cut short her life and her career, but not before she had made a significant contribution to the Madras Movement. That contribution was in danger of being forgotten, but now, her legacy has been enshrined in the K.C.S. Paniker Museum of the Madras Movement, in the form of a painting donated by P.M. Belliappa, in association with the Coorg Association of Madras.
Glaring omission
"I've been working at finding her works for some time," said Belliappa, who knew Rani and her family personally. "Last year, I finally did. It had been haunting me that her paintings weren't a part of the Museum. It was a glaring omission, a serious lacuna."
"Rani and I both come from the area of Kodagu in Coorg, and she's the only artist of such distinction to have come from there," he adds. "So this donation was meaningful to me in more ways than one."
For S. Nandagopal, who runs the museum, seeing this painting was a journey back in time. "When I joined the college as a student, Rani was teaching History of Art," he says. "I remember, the first thing she said in class was that we weren't going to talk about Greek or French art history, but about what some of our own great artists such as Janakiraman had done. That was a wonderful thing."
Both men recall her being a vivacious and beautiful woman. "She was so exuberant, and she talked to us about a lot more than just art," says Nandagopal.
After nearly a decade at the College, she got married and left for the U.S. That was where tragedy struck — Rani was in a car accident that left her in a coma for 13 years, never to recover.
"Her husband sent us some slides of works she did in the U.S.," says Nandagopal. "They were incredible. If only she'd lived, she would have done some truly great work."
The painting that has been donated to the Museum is one done by Rani in 1962, and captures her own particular style.
"When you look at her paintings, you see pure art, not bogged down by commercialism," he says. "How sad it would be if younger artists never even knew who Rani was."
Making sure the work of the Madras Movement artists is not forgotten is the purpose behind the Museum. "We're in the process of acquiring more and more older works to try and fill the gaps and document the Movement completely," says Nandagopal.
Thanks to the generosity of Belliappa, one important gap has been filled, and the memory of a pioneering young woman artist, captured for posterity.

Overall Experience
19 mayo 2015
I really liked it in this hotel. I was able to get a suite with 3 bedroom and have the privacy needed and at the same time have my children in the same room as me.
Nice and clean with great service!
11 mayo 2015
This is a great hotel with great people. Everyone from the manager and desk associate who originally helped us, to the housekeeping staff we saw in the hallway and the breakfast attendant were helpful and friendly. We had a home emergency and needed a place for our family of five right away, for an unknown length of stay. They were so helpful and accommodating and arranged for the perfect connecting rooms for us. I was impressed by the great condition and cleanliness of the hotel, and as a former hotel sales manager, I consider myself hard to impress. We will definitely send anyone visiting us from out of town to this hotel from now on. Awesome service, food,clean rooms, it all was great!
Bed size
07 mayo 2015
Room had a full size bed even though reservation was for queen
Good stay
03 mayo 2015
No major issues with my stay, the room was very comfortable and had a really great sleep. I like how dark you can get the room. The breakfast could have a few more choices. The bacon needs too be drained of the grease better, but over all it was a decent breakfast. The only minor issues:
My key cards didn't work the second night, but a quick trip to the desk fixed that.
When the rooms above and next to my room used the bathroom, shower, kitchen sink, you could hear the water draining down the pipes in the wall. The sound was pretty loud for that.

The CFPB has announced that its complaint system has begun taking complaints about credit reports. The issues a consumer can select to describe his or her complaint are: (1) incorrect information on the consumer's credit report, (2) a consumer reporting agency's investigation, (3) improper use of a credit report, (4) inability to obtain a credit report or credit score, and (5) problems with credit monitoring or identity protection services.
This expansion of the CFPB's complaint system will not only impact consumer reporting agencies who are the subject of complaints, and in particular, those consumer reporting agencies that will be examined by the CFPB as larger participants, but will also impact banks and other companies that report to such agencies or use consumer reports. (Last month, the CFPB released its examination procedures for consumer reporting agencies.)
Complaints about bank or other companies could result in targeted CFPB examinations of Fair Credit Reporting Act compliance and/or CFPB enforcement activity. In addition, such complaints could be referred by the CFPB to other federal regulators or state regulators.

Change in fortune as new shops open in Maryport town centre
Last updated at 10:05, Friday, 30 August 2013
Maryport is experiencing a business boom with several shops opening in the town centre in recent weeks.
Around four shops have opened in the town this year and more are set to follow.
A gift shop, pub and second-hand furniture store will open in the next few weeks.
Out of the Blue gift shop will open on September 20 in the former Smeatons Estate Agents building on Curzon Street.
It will be run by Alana Huntington, 45, of Wigton, with the help of her mother Marilyn Mowbray, of Ritson Wharf, Maryport.
Mrs Huntington said: "I think the town is on the up."
A small office in the building will house her father's agricultural lime business called Land Drive.
It was established by John Mowbray in 1992, and Mrs Huntington and her mother are both directors.
Convenience store Star Bargain, on Senhouse Street, which closed in December, will reopen soon as a second-hand furniture store.
Michael Brown, who owns the building, is looking to employ someone to run the shop.
He said: "It's in a good position. You can't beat Senhouse Street."
It will open from 10am to 3.30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
The Crown Inn on Senhouse Street will also reopen next month as The Thomas Henry.
Warrington-based Bravo Inns are renaming the pub after Thomas Henry Ismay, the Maryport-born owner of the White Star Line.
It is undergoing a £150,000 refurbishment.
Toni Magean, town centre manager, said: "The right mix of businesses makes a good shopping experience, not just for people with local needs but people visiting the town."
A Love Maryport traders team spokeswoman said: "It is all very positive."
In July the Tuck In cafe and restaurant opened on Curzon Street.
Owner Craig Frost, of Ullswater Road, said: "Maryport is progressing and it's good to see more businesses opening up."
Stuart McDougall, of Victory Crescent, opened the Asante Sana charity shop on Senhouse Street in July.
He said: "New shops opening can only help, as long as they don't come and go."
Colleen's hairdressers and beauticians opened in June on Curzon Street.
Colleen Orchard moved the business from Crosby Street and formed a partnership with Sharon Hormby who manages the beauty side of the business.
Miss Orchard said: "Business has improved a lot because it's handy for the bus routes and parking."
Established business owners have welcomed the new shops.
Jill Skinner, owner of The Lily Basket, on Senhouse Street, said: "New shops means more people."
Angela Hunter, owner of L&A Pet Boutique, on Senhouse Street, said: "It's definitely good seeing more shops open."
Maryport's new Clip 'n Climb attraction at The Wave Centre has also been successful in attracting thousands of visitors.
