Every year, endangered leatherback and green sea turtles arrive on the beaches of Trinidad and Tobago to lay their eggs, which local fishers are waiting to harvest. The helpless turtles are reportedly then flipped onto their backs and, unable to move, are left for days until they are purchased by traders. They are then killed for their flesh, and the rest of their dead bodies are left to rot or are tossed into the garbage! Despite a 2011 ban on the harvesting of sea turtles in Trinidad and Tobago, the killing reportedly continues. Check out the photos of this tragedy.
Sea turtles are intelligent and peaceful animals who spend their lives exploring in the ocean. As adults, these determined animals migrate in large groups over long distances—up to thousands of miles—back to the sandy beaches where they were born in order to reproduce. Female sea turtles are known to overcome extreme obstacles to get home and are very loyal to their mates. And largely because of hunting, fishing, and human intrusion, only one in 1,000 leatherback turtles survive to adulthood!
Please contact the officials below and politely urge them to enforce the ban on the harvesting of sea turtles. And don't forget to submit a copy of your e-mail by clicking the "Get Points" tab above for 150 points!

The "TART" it ROCKS!
Well we made it back! We lost one rider due to severe allergies and what Bull dust did to them. Also, due to my reluctance to share the lead. My bad on the lead but we've since talked and everything is cool.
The dust was incredible! I have never seen dust like this! On the third day we lost another rider due to a holing his tire on a high speed gravel road run. The hole was the size of a very large guys thumb! 10 tire plugs on the hole weren't enough to hold it! (TubeLess system)
Overall all the bikes ran good!
So, is the TART worth the ride? Does a bear crap in the woods?
I clocked just a tad under 649 miles from Eldorado, AR to Blue Eye, Mo..
Part of the TART still needs ridden. I soloed from Gilbert, AR to Blue Eye. I ran out of time and energy so I will check out the last 60 or so miles in a couple of weeks. The tracks reside for the moment in my GPS and I will download them tomorrow and make the necessary changes.
What a ride. Right off the bat into 10" deep bull dust in the pine barrens, from there into the Weyhauser Forests, hunting leases, closed gates, re-routes, should of been re-routes, glad we didn't re-routes, washed out roads with 2-3 foot cravasses ready to swallow you and your bike up, berms, fences, poker, good friends and a little whiskey.
In short it was great! Some of the most technical riding I have done in many years and absolutely loved it!
Everyone I rode with were outstanding riders! There is one particular section around Lake Winona, AR that was absolutely exceptional! Joe and I came down off that mountain track and saw a guy sitting on the main road by his pick up (he was a check in station for a triathalon) I pulled up to him to ask if there was anyplace to eat in the vicinity. Before I spoke he said: "Did you guys just come off that mountain on your bikes?"
I told him we had. He shook his head and then said "You fuckers are out of your mind! You got a death wish?" that is the worst trail in miles.
Man was it fun!
More to follow.

Here is a little from the first two days. Not many pictures as I forgot my camera charger.......duh...
Charlie was nice enough to pick me up and haul down to Joe's in Ft. Smith and we slabbed it to Eldorado the first day.
Bikes unloaded at Joe's, Charlie checks with Joe's wife to be sure it's OK to high jack her Husband for a few days. Super nice lady.......Joe you married way over your head.......
Here we head out from Joe's place.
Lots of pavement but still was fun.
What a view I had too....
Little later we stopped to "delayer"
Joe said he had a place for lunch in Hot springs that was good so off we went, little did we know it was a long way over there..........we finally made it though and it was GREAT. Cajun Boilers Sorry I didn't get any pictures but the Gumbo was fantastic.
I had called ahead and found a nice dive that should work for three crusty biker dudes and we pulled into Eldorado late that afternoon to stay at the "Flamingo" motel. Turned out to be just right for $42/night tax included. Even included a "working girl" that hollered out as soon as she saw us walking across the parking lot. Sorry not interested. I ended up rooming pretty close to her, guess the clerk felt that would shut her up...and it did.
I know Joe and Charlie had many pictures to share too.
We ended up at Joe's room for a little friendly poker ......... (bastards) and I lost my roll of dimes and nickles faster than a Cat coming off a hot tin roof...... Oh well I figured on that and had a lighter load the next day.
Get up the next morning and it's a chilly but pretty day....then these two came out of their rooms ....not so purty.............
Joe had spotted a breakfast place and we hit it quick and were soon on our way.
Wasn't long until Charlie had us on some roads from hell ... logging roads that had bull dust up to your knees and not a spec of wind.....can you say dust....holly chit...we ended up spreading out quite a long way but the dust would just hang in the trees for ever it seemed like. Ran across this bad boy as I stopped to let some dust settle.
On we go and hit several of our planned roads that had gates across them ...hunting leases....and one that we said to heck with it and went around it.
Here Charlie gives it the ADV salute.......
No biggy...........
Then it's Joe's turn.
Me next and then on we go, but not before I tried my hand at catching a little color.
As it was I ended up cutting the trip short, had soaked up enough dust that I couldn't breath and headed back to Rogers. The trip has many stories within the story but everyone made it safe and sound and though not without some "adventures" it was great. Weather turned out fantastic.
Over & Out.

The Tart
"The Trans Arkansas Trail" - The "TART"
Planning the TART took several months of planning in MapSource and daily viewing in Google Earth to determine that I had maximized the amount of dirt we rode on. Then the real chore came when planning a workable date that was available to everyone that was planning on riding. Then last minute changes were made to the route after input from Mike (10Cup), we broke the ride up into three legs and added camping areas to our intinerary. Then last month we determined that we would leave on Thursday, October 7th, 2010 and so we did
This route was designed as a South to North or North to South route through central Arkansas. It starts at Eldorado, Arkansas in the south or Blue Eye, Missouri in the north (both on the border of Arkansas).
TART throws everything at you during different stages of the ride. It can be benign, exciting, dangerous, and just plain exhilarating. When we started the route we started it with a bang! TEN inches of deep baby powder Bull Dust in the first 10 miles. This should have been a clue for us. There were also loose rocky trails, high speed gravel, very long technical uphills, dangerous downhills with baby head rock and loose sand, deep sand, some mud, puddles, creek crossings, tarmac, chip & seal, deer lease problems, Paper Mill property, ATV tracks, unused and overgrown trails, rocky trails with huge crevasses to fall into, closed gates, locked gates, private property, beautiful scenery, a number of re-routes to perfect the route and some great camping places.
A DISCLAIMER* Though parts of the TART could be done on scooter, this is NOT is not a big bike or a street bike trail. If you are a really good technical rider it is suited for a 650 cc or below bike. However, it would be very dangerous to try some parts of the ride on anything bigger. You can get lulled into thinking that the route is easy and all of sudden, wham! here comes a technical section. There were also areas that so remote that it would take a significant amount of time for help to arrive. I strongly recommend riding with a buddy or at the least traveling with a personal locator. It should also be noted that much of the southern section of this route is very low lying. During rainy period it may become impassable.
Routes and tracks of the TART will be available to anyone that wants them when I am finished cleaning them up and adding way points. Also, there is still a small section left unridden which will be done in the next few weeks.
So, take a seat. Come along for the ride! Welcome to the "TART"
"The TART"
You can check out this map on http://www.dualsportmaps.com
Day One
As planned we left on the 7th and trailed to JoeNuclear's house to avoid scrubbing off the new knobbies. There would be more than enough tarmac from Joe's to Eldorado.
We off loaded about 8:30ish and waited for Joe's house to show signs of life.
At about 9:30 we were finally en route for Eldorado.
Our first stop was nearing Hot Springs. We at the "Cajun Boiler", it was outstanding.
Sorry, we were kinda hungry
Mike (10Cup) on the left and Joe (JoeNuclear) on the right
Interesting signage
So after we arrived in Eldorado my GPS popped up with "Flamingo Motel" just ahead on the right. Flamingo Motel? I don't remember programming a stop there but Mike did when I asked for input. So, there we were the "Flamingo". Wasn't bad really, we had a "working" lady who wanted to offer her services, and a cheap room (no, not by the hour). The motel was clean and was only $42 a night and it was a family owned busines with the proprietors being most gracious people.
We sat down after dinner and had a few beers and proceeded to teach Mike the fine art of poker. It was a good evening with good friends.
The others would join us on Saturday at Choctaw Recreation Area.
Day Two
Getting ready to leave the next morning, can you say overloaded? Not heavy but certainly bulky.
So, we finally bid Eldorado goodbye at around 9:30 am. Don't plan on getting aired up there. All of the gas stations have straight air chucks and you can't get them onto your rims. We ended up having to air up Joe's tires with my air pump.
Joe couldn't even get his air gauge working. Airing up here sucks! The hole town sucks ummmm... air I'm thinkin....
Coming out of the Bull Dust. Man that crap was powdery if you stopped for a second you were enveloped by this choking cloud of dust. I am not even sure you could navigate this area when it was muddy? It was my first time in deep bull dust and I hope the last for a while.
The trails were fairly rough and some were corrugated badly. After about an hour Joe and I had to adjust the loads on our bikes.
We had beautiful country lanes lined with pine and shady. It was a very relaxing portion of the ride after negotiating the bull dust.
Through on of the many Weyerhauser Forests
This is also oil country, which seems to be shared wealth with the county because most of the roads in this area were paved. Paved usually means money.
This time of the year the hunting leases on forest product land are active with hunters and ATV/UTV's. We were very lucky to have not been shot this weekend although we saw only a few hunters in their camps. These towers are virtually everywhere. Some were almost 4 stories tall and of course commanded royal views of the areas in which they were perched.
We had ridden about three hours now and came to a locked gate on a hunting lease. This would be common throughout the day. But this one was open on one end and closed on the other. We had committed some time to this point so we decided to go for it (use your own judgement).
As I looked back at the gate once through it. I noticed that it had a hunting club sign on it. We would see this over and over during the ride.
At about 1:30 I made I came to this intersection and waited for over 30 minutes for Mike and Joe. Neither showed up.
We were spaced way out due to the dust. I just gave it more time, half an hour, forty minutes...then it still nada? At this point I figured we had a flat, mechanical problems or someone needed fuel. There was fuel about 12 miles away so I hightailed it to Sparkman to see if they were there. Nope, so I hightailed it back. And once again waited at that turn and once again, nada?
Turned out that Joe had taken a wrong turn due to using a version of MapSource not compatible with my route which would plague him throught the ride. When he realized the error he routed back to the next intersection and eventually met Mike coming the opposite direction out of a particularly bad riding trail. This is when I found them at the corner shown in the screen shot of my GPS. Mike looked whipped. His allergies were raging and he said that he had enough and was going to Arkadelphia to overnight then go home.
Were down to two now, ugh!
After I had time to reflect on the day I realized that I should have rotated the lead and got Mike out of the dust. Perhaps this would have helped him cope better. I have allergies too, but no where near as bad as poor Mike. My bad. So, we bid Mike goodbye here.
Joe and I pressed on. This trail would deteriorate into an almost obliterated path. We slowly picked our way through jumping logs, dodging deer towers and counting our blessings that they were empty of hunters.
One of many streams but we didn't have to ford any today as all had bridges.
We arrived at Degrays Lake for our first night in the tents about 3:30 pm in time to pitch them and run out for dinner.
Day Three
Joe and I got up and packed for day three. We didn't really get to motivated about leaving on at a specific time. Once we got moving we ate at the DeGrays Lake State Park Lodge (blech!). Save your money the food was mediocre at best and the waitress cranky as hell.
This day would see our most challenging riding. As we neared Lake Winona, Ar. we noticed the surrounding area becoming more and more steep and larger mountains appeared. After some rather boring riding in the morning we wanted and found technical riding. We passed the pump station for Lake Winona water supply. It is a very old facility and from where we entered the area it looked like it was an old CCC project and thus was not very well maintained.
Then we headed up in elevation on this trail for the next 20 or so minutes. The road went from this,
to barely an overgrown two track. There were places where my bike was brushing against limbs on both sides as we negotiated our way through. It was also very steep. Perhaps 35* or so. The road had been washed out over and over. The result was some really deep crevasses that demanded your full attention. Some of this area was very narrow and you had to be on your game to keep from falling in the crevasses and as I said it got narrower and narrower as we went up.
As per usual, there was no time for pictures on this section
When we came down the other side I saw a guy with a pickup sitting at the intersection of the trail and one of the main roads. There was nothing in the vicinity, I mean totally nothing. Very remote. I noticed he had a radio and figured he was a turkey or deer check station.
I said hello to him and looked at me with this incredulous look. He asked me "Did you just come down from that trail (pointing)? I said "yes sir". He looked at me again, then at the trail, then at me again and said "Are you y'all fucking crazy?" "Do you have a death wish?" "I've been up there exactly once and won't go back up there ever again"!
Turns out this guy was there to check in contestants for a triathalon. After riding this terrain I found it incredible that anyone would run that trail? Wow.
After some discussion with this guy we headed for the nearest gas and food. Near was a relative term. It took two more hours to find it. We did finally find the restaurant but not where he said. We settled on the "Jones Family Restaurant" in Perryville, Arkansas. I highly recommend their tasty hamburgers. Yum!
From Perryville, we went back East to our route and headed toward Bigelow, Arkansas. on Tram Road. Tram is a very, very long straightaway. No traffic to speak of. Joe and I were hitting it here. I clocked 65mph a couple of times because you could see so far ahead.
I reached the next turn and as planned waited for Joe until he was in my sight before proceeding on. I waited, and waited, and waited somemore. No Joe. Now what? I checked my cell phone for messages and sure enough there was one from Joe stating that he had blown a tire on Tram Road.
I mounted up and turned back to find him. When I got there he was on the side of the road next to an old S-10 pickup? and two salty looking guys. One younger and one older. The old guy was holding a Bud Light. They were watching Joe working on the tire.
These guys were about as redneck as they come. They had been out checking their deer feeders when they came up on Joe. The hole in Joe's tire was big, in fact my thumb would have fit in it. Joe runs the TubeLess system and had the plugs he needed but didn't have enough to fill this hole (did I mention it was big?). The old guy and his son(?) happened to have a whole bunch of plugs to offer. And Joe was even using their electric tire pump. Great hospitality indeed.
Once Joe got the hole plugged he pumped up the tire. Then the young kid produces a spray bottle of soapy water to test the leak (I'm thinking this must be a common occurrence in these parts). Sure enough it leaks...argh! and Joe attempts the patch again.
This time I think he about 8 strands of plug material in the hole. He airs up the tire again and tests it with the soapy water. Voila' it works! We bid farewell to our friends and move down the road albeit a lot slower now doing steady 35mph. About 20 minutes later on tarmac the patch goes with a bang and Joe is dead in the water. What now?
We pull over and Joe tells me he is going to ride the flat to Conway, Arkansas (30 miles away) and I should keep going. I am reluctant to leave him but he has none of that and tells me to keep on. So, I shook his hand and wished him well.
I rode on alone determined to be the only rider to make it Eldorado to Blue Eye. I rode many more deer leases and marginal trails before I reached the Choctaw Recreation Area. Choctaw would be where I meet Tim (O'Leary) and Travis (MossyCreek) for my second night on the road.
Choctaw was nice digs. They had quiet campsites and hot showers which was a ++ in my book.
That evening we three played poker. Tim and I did ok but Travis ended up funding our breakfast the next morning. Thanks Travis!
Day Four
We woke early the next day 06:00 and packed up. Next on the agenda was breakfast at the Huddle House in Clinton. The food was meh! but adequate.
From Clinton we went west to the route again. We had some wonderful vistas before dropping into a deep valley.
The bottom of this valley was a long trek. We descended for what seemed like 10 miles. When we finally got to the bototm we had this beautiful stream to cross.
I mentioned above that we had one long re-route This is where it occurred. I should have gone left instead I opted for a right turn. This caused a 55 mile ride around when 9 miles would have done it. Fifty five miles of tarmac. Taking us through Tilly, Witts Springs and finally back to Gilbert just five miles as the crow flies from where we started....ugh
I did change the tracks to fix this in case you're wondering. The route led us here.
The road just ended, no warning just ended very typical of Arkansas secondary roads. Travis said he saw a gate so I briefly went for a look.
Nothing there but a fence so we took the reroute from hell at my insistance. O'Leary did have a better plan but NOOOOOOOOOOOO I didn't listen. GRRRRRRRRR
So as we made our way back to the route we passed through Snowball, AR.. Looked nearly abandoned.
We were now nearing Gilbert. The plan was to get a cup of coffee and take a break. We ended up near the Gilbert turn off here at Fergusons Restaurant and country store. Great place to eat with some country atmosphere thrown in.
O'Leary and MossyCreek decided at this point (and since my 55 mile detour scrubbed their knobs off) to cut and run home as this was a natural jump off point for them. Once again I headed north on my own.
The rest of the roads were typical maintained NW Arkansas gravel. This was taken just off Dubuquec Road I believe.
I was really getting tired at this point and I had been on all of the roads that were left on the TART so I started edging my way toward home. I took a mix of tarmac and gravel but happened on this great old bridge.
So, this ends the TART ride. About an hour later I arrived home. Spent, jubilant, and sated with riding for a bit. My bike, as overloaded as it was performed flawlessly. I never once felt that I wasn't going to make the entire trip due to a mechanical failure (save a quick cam chain adjustment) Thanks Travis!.
The TART is a great ride! It absolutely gives you the best and the worst of Arkansas. It is NOT a big bike route in the mid section of the route. Lake Winona and it's trails will bite your butt if you try it on anything bigger than a 650. We rode the lowland forests, climbed mountains, reforged old trails, saw beautiful valleys and kindled stronger friendships. In short, the TART is what riding is about and the reason we do it.
Tracks and routes will be provided in the next couple of days. I will post when they become available.
Thanks for riding along with us!

It makes a great ride Mike. You could ride up to Blue Eye then on to your parents (?) place. Be advised some of the route is very technical and that's an understatement.

Watch Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Fallon play 'Word Sneak' and erupt into gigglesAdd to Favorites | The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Ricky Gervais is always a treat to have on talk shows because he's such a ridiculous and fun guest. On Monday (June 2), the "Derek" star stopped by "The Tonight Show," where Jimmy Fallon makes him play a game of "Word Sneak" that goes predictably crazy.
But first, in the above video, Gervais and Fallon talk about how much they like the SkyMall magazine that you get in airplanes -- they riff for several minutes about doing their garden up with things from SkyMall, and it's hilarious.
Below, however, Fallon and Gervais play "Word Sneak," which is the game where they each get five words that they have to "sneak" into the conversation as casually as possible. And boy, they really should not have given Gervais the word "gerbil," though the best one is the last one -- the way Fallon manages to get "Keanu Reeves" into the conversation.

TE21 selected TrainingServer's(R) Learning Management System (LMS) and the B2B Learning Network to serve as the foundation of a new learning portal, NCwin (North Carolina Web instruction network), designed for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI).
NCwin offers online courses, learning resources and collaboration opportunities for teachers and other public school employees throughout the state of North Carolina. More than 86,000 teachers and other public school personnel will have access to the entire TE21 courseware library consisting of over 120 titles from Learn2.com and more than 30 courses from NETg.
The Web-based training curricula include programs on using Windows, the Internet and Microsoft Office as well as several other popular PC software applications. For information technology (IT) staff, NCwin offers suites of courses on networking and programming topics together with instruction designed to prepare for professional certification examinations.
The main focus of the NCwin site, powered by TrainingServer, is to provide training opportunities to help educators meet requirements for license renewal defined in the "North Carolina Technology Competencies for Educators." NCwin includes a broad array of courses to help improve the teaching and learning process for North Carolina schools.
Learners connect to NCwin from an existing NCDPI site, www.ncwiseowl.org, which provides curriculum-based, content-rich Internet resources for North Carolina's students, teachers and parents. The NC Wise Owl site offers a variety of carefully evaluated free, NCDPI-developed, subscription resources and now, with NCwin, online professional development opportunities for educators.
From NC Wise Owl, learners link to the NCwin learning portal where they can enroll in the NCwin Comprehensive Library of more than 120 courses and other programs. The site includes an e-commerce system that allows individuals and groups to electronically enroll in courses on an annual subscription basis.
As part of its agreement with NCDPI, TE21 is developing a competency and skills analysis feature that allows educators to select specific NCwin courses to meet their individual training needs. NCDPI and TE21 are also preparing special educator-oriented practice exercises to be used by North Carolina teachers and other public school employees as they progress through the courses.
"NCDPI and TE21 were primarily concerned with finding a network that would allow for the distribution of multiple vendors' courseware over the Internet, and the challenge was how to do that efficiently and effectively," said Dick Lozeau, chief learning officer of TrainingServer. "TrainingServer was able to meet that challenge by providing the platform of the B2B Learning Network and the embedded technology of the TrainingServer LMS. The result is a site where NCDPI, TE21 and North Carolina can lead the way for improving state education by empowering educators with online access to valuable learning content and resources," said Lozeau.
"From the beginning, the goal of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and TE21 was to make NCwin the benchmark online learning solution for educators. We feel very strongly that we have accomplished our mission," said Dr. Jim Hanlin, president of TE21. "This is the first site to offer learning resources to educators state-wide, and we plan to present NCwin as a model for other states interested in developing a Web-based learning solution for teachers. We truly believe that NCwin is going to significantly contribute to the achievement of North Carolina's goal to make its public schools 'First in America by 2010.'"
"After NCDPI compared the technology and services of several e-learning companies, we found TE21's solution that combined TrainingServer's B2B Learning Network and excellent instructional content and engaging courseware to be the best match for our needs," said Frances Bradburn, director of instructional technology for NCDPI. "We are very excited about NCwin and the power it gives public school system teachers and staff to educate themselves through a cost-effective and time saving medium."
About the B2B Learning Network
Powered by the TrainingServer(R) Learning Management System (LMS), the B2B Learning Network is an e-learning cooperative marketplace that gives enterprises the power to generate e-commerce revenues through the sale of learning resources over branded sites on the Internet.
Branded Web sites, called site affiliates, can provide proprietary learning content or choose from a wide variety of training courses available through the B2B Learning Network master course catalog. Content is made available through strategic partnerships with content providers for resale over the network.
TrainingServer provides all hosting, HTML coding and framework needed for e-commerce transactions, making it possible to market products without the high costs and risks associated with developing and maintaining an e-commerce site. The autonomous learning communities may be comprised of customers, associated organizations, professional colleagues or employers.
About the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction

NC Wise Owl offers curriculum-based, content-rich Internet resources for North Carolina's students, teachers and parents. The Web site offers a variety of carefully evaluated free, NCDPI-developed and subscription resources and now, with NCwin, online professional development opportunities for educators and others.

Technical question (need explanation) about a fix
How hard would it be for EA to simply release a hotfix that doesn't require online play? I don't know the technical workings of DRM ("always online"), but if other people can pirate games and bypass logins and such, couldn't EA technically release a hotfix that would bypass that requirement?
I don't understand what is stopping them from simply doing so? If this isn't possible, could someone explain why?
http://www.own3d.tv/Cymdai2 = Smite Stream
Well, the claim is that most of the load of processing the simulation is done on EAs side. So, if true, basically it's a lot more complicated than just removing the online feature. The entire game has to be reworked in that case.
PS3. It Only Does Family Games.
They're too worried about them pirates. Even though DRM doesn't prevent piracy but actually encourages it and leaves legitimate customers frustrated: http://news.softpedia.com/news/DRM-Doesn-t-Stop-Piracy-Game-Content-Does-Good-Old-Games-Believes-237641.shtml
DRM doesn't stop theft of games, let's make that clear, Longino told Destructoid. It's a false argument to say it does. Every game that came out this year -- every single one regardless of the kind of DRM on it -- was pirated. Frequently before the game was even for sale on retail shelves but within 48 hours after launch, either way. There's a whole industry devoted to selling DRM solutions to publishers and developers, and no one seems to be clued into the fact that it doesn't stop piracy.
Only thing that will stop piracy is good games and a supportive user interface (i.e. Steam). This always online DRM crap only leaves people who bought the game pissed off. Piracy will always exist and most people who pirate the game wouldn't have bought it in the first place.
Live long and prosper.
But how could pirates play this if everything is server based? Isn't everything server side?
Does that mean that pirated copies work functionally atm...? And if so, how?
http://www.own3d.tv/Cymdai2 = Smite Stream
Pirates can't be playing it now. There's a reason it only took 15 minutes to download the game - most of the data is on EA's servers. There's no way for this game to work offline as is.

Business students test skills at marketing fair
Students of the Far Eastern University (FEU) Makati campus could not have been in a better place to see if they were cut out for entrepreneurship.
For one week, FEU-Makati turned their campus, which is in the country's central business district, into a trading and marketing place, as students attempted to convert their business ideas into money-makers.
Some 2,000 FEU undergraduate and Master in Business Administration (MBA) students joined Biz Week, an annual business and marketing fair that allows them to experience real-life problems that businesses go through, as well as the rewards for good ideas.
"We want to put theories into practice and apply what we have learned in school all year," said Emmanuel Llego, head of Biz Week and a third year accountancy student.
Llego's team, composed of around 20 students, was given two weeks to organize the fair, which was first held in 2011. Last year, Biz Week was canceled due to organizational changes, as a new FEU administration took over.
"But when we revived it this year, the executive board added many new elements," Llego said.
Biz Week 2013 was held in late February before the final examinations. Participants traded their uniforms for "corporate wear" and promoted their business ideas.
"Actually, the hardest part for us was raising the capital. But everything paid off when we saw how the students wanted to participate by raising funds to support their friends," Llego said.
Biz Week started with a parade of nations along Gil Puyat Avenue and Malugay Street led by the Mr. and Ms Ambassador contenders, catching the interest of Makati's corporate crowd.
"Filipinos are a festive people. It was great to see such an atmosphere in Makati," said Biz Week executive director Ed Villacorta.
He said the competition was not a pageant but a search for business ambassadors, in keeping with the event's goal.
Student participants represented different countries and gave business proposals related to those countries that could be done in the Philippines, Villacorta said.
Zhao Joy Wei, as Ms China, came up with a clothing boutique while Showmik Ahmed Refat proposed a micro-lending business patterned after the successful program of fellow Bangladeshi and Nobel Prize laureate Mohammad Yunus.
In the end, Jeffrey Mate, Mr. Japan, was chosen Mr. Ambassador, while Mary Joy Padua, Ms Germany, was Ms Ambassador.
Pablo Miguel Herrera, Mr. USA, was voted Mr. Ambassador International representing international students at FEU.
Biz Week also had a stock-trading game based on the bullish and bearish movements of the Philippine Stock Exchange, an essay contest for budding business analysts, an extemporaneous speech contest for would-be marketers and a marketing plan competition.
Students of different courses such as marketing management, accounting technology, accountancy, business administration, operation management, financial management and information technology (IT) participated in the contests.
Right mix
Students, divided into blocks, pitched ideas, presented marketing plans and invested in their products, said Villacorta. "They had to consider the products, placements, pricing and promotions to get the right marketing mix," he added.
Ten finalists submitted proposals and put up stalls.
Grand Winner Yam Yam Yam Store, set up by the sophomore accounting technology block, won for Best Trade Booth.
Team Epiphany won second place with its fashion store, followed by the gimmick and photo booth of the Love Fondess group.
Yam Yam Yam Store was also best in branding strategy and top grosser; Team Love Fondess, best in promotional strategy; Viva Mexico, best in product display; iClothes, best in customer service support; Random Infinite and Epiphany, most innovative effort, and Carnival Booth, best booth display.
One category in the marketing contest was the creation of a campaign to promote FEU's Makati campus.
Team Suwag, whose name is based on the popular catchword "swag," won in the total communications campaign for the 3-year-old campus.
The team adopted a "playful" approach to attract high school students to enroll in FEU's business school.
The winning group was composed of junior marketing students Myvee Lusterio, Christine Salan, Paul Matthew Ondevilla, Cristine Reyes, Nathaniel Ferreras, Giovanni Layug and Harold Chaingan.
The second prize went to the group behind "Today's A-Leader, Tomorrow A Leader" campaign, while Team F.E.U. was third, using the school's acronym for the slogan "Finding the Excellence in You."
"It's for students and by students campaign," said professor Leticia Gamad, head of the marketing competition that relied on the expertise of Philippine National Advertisers Association and Philippine Marketing Association to select the best proposals.

Is Kuwait next?
Wednesday - 3/2/2011, 3:28pm EST
Kuwait's Ambassador to the U.S. says Kuwait is safe from the kinds of protests that have toppled the governments in Egypt and Tunisia. His Excellency Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah says the protests that have taken place there are a group of people who came there from Iraq, Syria and other places and destroyed their identification papers hoping to convince the government they are Bedouins and be granted citizenship. Why? In Kuwait, Housing is free for all, so is education and there are no taxes.

During the West Zone leg of Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 in March-April, a young scribe asked Yusuf Pathan how he'd counter Dale Steyn in the IPL. An agitated Pathan replied, "I think you did not see how I hooked Steyn for six in the last IPL in Hyderabad. Thank you very much."
Actually, it was a pull high and handsome over mid-wicket and Pathan raised his hands above his head to applaud his own shot after staring at Steyn, who acknowledged the shot at the top of his bowling mark before the next delivery. Pathan stayed unbeaten on 49 off 29 balls but ended on the losing side in that match.
But not on Saturday night, when Pathan demonstrated how he actually tackled Steyn, dismissing the South African pacer over wide long-on and then straight for sixes. It was hitting at its very best. After Pathan deposited Karn Sharma for a six early in his innings and summoned for water, one could see him as a man possessed. He was more than determined to complete the task for his team, that was to not just win but to do it within 15.2 overs and secure Kolkata Knight Riders the second place to face Kings XI Punjab at their home ground in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday.
Pathan takes criticism in the media seriously. He is mindful of what is being said or written about him. And, he likes to answer the critics with his bat. "If I get out in the first ball, you guys will criticise me badly saying I am playing poorly. People don't know what I do to achieve my goals. I know what I have to achieve, where to reach, what my ability is. Only I know how much I can score in an over and how hard I work to score those 20 runs," Pathan had said in Kolkata after Saturday night's madness.
"I back myself because I have worked hard, have studied well before the exams. What people say doesn't matter to me. They get paid to talk and I am paid for my work and to play."
With KKR wanting to win their last match inside 15.2 overs and not take it as a 20-over match, Pathan held the key. Having done little of note this season, and making the most of those dropped chances, Pathan had scant respect to any of the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers, least of all to Steyn. The South African pacer has been smashed all over the park this IPL, first by his compatriot AB de Villiers of Royal Challengers Bangalore. His reputation as the world's premier bowler took a beating when Pathan smashed him for 26 runs in his fourth and final over – the sequence of 4, 6, 6, 4, 4, 2 will bring nightmares for the Protean for some time to come. Pathan was long due for such a knock. He had slammed eight sixes in nine innings prior to the last match. And, seven came off his broad blade in that knock.
That KKR achieved the target with one over to spare — not in 19 overs but in 14.2 overs — is only due to Pathan's murderous assault, getting to the fastest ever IPL 50 in just 15 deliveries.
KKR have done some extraordinary things this IPL. Remember the Chris Lynn catch against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the boundary line after he slipped and still held on to an AB de Villiers' smack?
Needless to mention Robin Uthappa's dream run, who at 613 runs is 121 runs short of surpassing Chris Gayle and Mike Hussey for the most runs in an IPL season. The Karnataka opener has a minimum of two innings and maximum of three to break that record.
Winning seven matches on the trot, KKR will be hoping to extend that run to nine, first seeking a direct flight to Bangalore and not via Mumbai.
With the kind of support staff KKR have, they will do well to forget the league phase and take fresh guard on Tuesday.

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed that midfielder Javier Mascherano will only leave the club if the right offer comes in.
The Argentina captain has reportedly been on the verge of a move to join former Reds boss Rafael Benitez at Inter Milan for some weeks now but Hodgson has eased any fears and says the player will only leave Anfield on his terms.
"If an offer comes in that is commensurate with his value, that is one thing, but Javier does not expect us simply to allow him to walk out of here," said Hodgson.
"In an ideal world, I would not even be entertaining the idea of listening to any offers, regardless of the amount. It is only because of the promise made to him, amid all the interest from Barcelona a year ago, that we have been prepared to go this far.
"The fact is, he lives alone in Liverpool, because his wife never settled, so it would benefit him and his family if he moved to another country.
"But he's the best in the world at what he does, so a club have to make an offer that reflects his status."

MINNEAPOLIS - SEPTEMBER 27: Joe Staley #74 of the San Francisco 49ers reacts to a play while sitting on the bench during a game against the Minnesota Vikings at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome on September 27, 2009 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Vikings defeated the 49ers 27-24. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
After the San Francisco 49ers beat the Detroit Lions last Sunday Night Football, offensive tackle Joe Staley stated the Lions defensive line was overrated stating, "They didn't want any part of us up front. Look at the game. We killed them. Every single pressure they got was cheap. It was on a keep or something like that. They weren't beating us one on. We ran for about 200 yards on the so-called best D-line in all of football." and Staley may be right about the Lions, but Smith was still hit or sacked 26% of the time he dropped back to pass during the game.The 49ers do not throw the ball as much as every other team in the NFL and these cheap pressures as they are called by Staley will eventually wear down Alex Smith's effectiveness in the pocket as the season goes on.… Read more

Need to know: Unhappy bankersStrange jobsGoldman dress code
Australia's largest fertility business Virtus Health has begun testing investors' appetite for an initial public offering that could value the company as high as 682 million Australian dollars (US$712 million), people with knowledge of the process said Monday.
Virtus's advisers, Morgan Stanley and UBS, plan to begin formally gauging demand among institutions on May 16 for what would be Australia's biggest IPO since supermarket chain Woolworths Ltd. raised A$472 million by spinning off SCA Property Group in November.
At least A$300 million of Virtus Health's equity will be offered to new investors, the person said. Virtus Health's A$682 million valuation includes net debt of around A$140 million, according to pre-marketing material from Morgan Stanley that has been reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The recent rally in Australian equities could revive the nation's long-dormant market for initial public offerings. But some of the biggest IPO candidates are backed by private-equity firms, and they may face skepticism among Australian investors smarting from some private-equity sales in recent years.
It has been a tough couple of years for IPOs in Australia. No deal has raised more than one billion Australian dollars (US$1.02 billion) since Westfield Retail Trust's A$2 billion offering in December 2010.
Australia's Quadrant Private Equity has signed a contract to purchase CQMS Razer in a deal which gives the mining products and services group an enterprise value of more than 150 million Australian dollars (US$155 million), people familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
Macquarie Capital sold its 55% stake in CQMS Razer into the deal, one of the people said.
Australian private equity firm Ironbridge is in exclusive talks to sell furniture retailer Super A-Mart and specialty retailer Barbeques Galore to peer Quadrant Private Equity, two people familiar with the matter told Deal Journal Australia.
If the transaction goes ahead, Super A-Mart Chief Executive Officer Eddie MacDonald's plans for the company to join competitors like Fantastic Holdings and Nick Scali on the Australian Securities Exchange will be delayed.

Experts remain locked in debate over testing for the disease when there is no cure
Genetic testing for Alzheimer's
Genetic testing for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (the most common type of dementia, affecting people 65 and older) is available without physician supervision or referral. The testing involves one gene, the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene on the 19th chromosome. The gene comes in three different forms — E2, E3 and E4. Everyone inherits one form of the gene from each parent. Having one or two of the E4 variants can increase a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease several times.
However, not all people with APOE-E4 develop Alzheimer's. And, about half of those who develop late-onset Alzheimer's don't have any E4 genes.
"We don't have a definitive way to say if you're going to get Alzheimer's disease. To check for the APOE-E4 gene just raises anxiety levels," said Dr. John Daly, professor of geriatric medicine at UC San Diego and medical director of the university's Seniors Only Care (SOCARE) outpatient geriatric clinic.
Before undergoing genetic testing, people should discus the benefits and risks with a physician and/or genetic counselor. They should also consider that a positive test could affect their eligibility for disability, long-term care and life insurance. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 does not apply to these forms of insurance.
Currently, APOE genetic testing provides the most benefit in research settings as it helps identify study participants who may have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's. This knowledge may help scientists look for early brain changes in participants and compare the effectiveness of treatments for people with different APOE profiles.

Biomarker tests for Alzheimer's
For people who already have some memory impairment, there are now tests to indicate a toxic plaque called beta amyloid in the brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer's.
This past spring, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved an imaging test by Eli Lilly and Co. that uses a radioactive dye, called florbetapir (Amyvid), to bind to clumps of beta amyloid in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. A buildup of beta amyloid is believed to trigger the brain cell death that leads to memory loss and is thought to be present in the brain years before symptoms ever appear.
With a positron emission tomography (PET) scan, doctors can then see the beta amyloid plaque in the brain light up.
Although patients with Alzheimer's always have some brain plaque, not everyone with amyloid plaque has the disease. However, its presence in conjunction with other symptoms can enable earlier and more reliable diagnoses. A positive test can help rule out other causes of dementia, such as depression or medication side effects. Before this test, that only could be confirmed at autopsy.
The Amyvid test costs about $3,000 and is not covered by Medicare or most insurance. The FDA and dementia experts recommend that only individuals with a significant cognitive problem be tested for amyloid plaque.
"Some people who have elevated amyloid may never develop any cognitive complaint. If they're tested (and they find amyloid), they can spend 20 years worrying when they could have enjoyed their life," said Dr. James Brewer, associate professor of radiology and neurosciences at UC San Diego School of Medicine.
A lumbar puncture test can also show proteins related to amyloid in the spinal fluid, strongly indicative of changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer's. The test is primarily used in research laboratories.
In the future, it's possible that people showing no cognitive problems may be scanned for Alzheimer's, just as anybody who can afford it can get a whole body scan today. However, Brewer emphasized that such testing would happen only if there was a proven treatment which was completely safe and benign.
"It's a very personal choice," said Mary Ball of the Alzheimer's Association. "You have to get all the information, weigh it and decide what you will do with it."

BOISE-- Police and firefighters were called to the scene of a two-vehicle accident with injuries near 27th and Jefferson streets in Boise just after 3 p.m. Thursday.
Police say a man driving a black Mercury sedan apparently drove through a stop sign at the intersection, then crashed into a white Toyota sedan.
The black Mercury went through a fence and hit a small building on theBoise Greek Orthodox Church property.
Police say the man driving the Mercury was trapped inside the car and had to be extricated by rescuers.
Boise Fire Battalion Chief Tom Pawek says the man was taken by ambulance to St. Alphonsus with non-life threatening injuries.
The female driver of the Toyota was treated at the scene of the crash by paramedics, but later transported to the hospital with what appear to be non-life threatening injuries.
No citations have issued as the crash remains under investigation.

Choice Eats: Memories of a Food Coma
Last night's Choice Eats tasting event went off smashingly, if we don't say so ourselves. Yes, it was crowded, but that's unavoidable given the allure of tasting food from 56 restaurants, representing 37 different cuisines. These restaurants are scattered across all five boroughs, so having them all in one place was a thrill. Plus, there was plenty of booze.
Here's a look at what others thought.
Serious Eats thought the crowd was nuts, but liked Baoguette's banh mi and Cafe Glechik's desserts
Midtown Lunch laments the fact that Margon Restaurant was the only midtown respresentative, also enjoys Cheburechnaya and Tortilleria Nixtamal
Joe DiStefano, writing for The Feedbag, loved Sheep Station's lamb sandwich, Porchetta's porchetta and Dirt Candy's portobello mousse
Shelbs and Cheese has a comprehensive run-down, including hits and misses. Big miss: Mama's Food Shop's mac and cheese. Big hit: Dirt Candy's portobello mousse.
Kathy at A Passion for Food reportedly got around to every one of the 56 tables! She liked Peaches Market's short ribs with grits and No. 7's vanilla pudding with miso bananas.
Blondie and Brownie loved Motorino's bomblonis and Kampuchea's five-spice chicken wings
Eat and Greet reports four tums consumed this morning, possibly brought on by an especially spicy banh mi at Baoguette.
One Yelper imagines that Choice Eats is similar to "inner city Mumbai" or at least Macy's at Christmas
Our own Runnin' Scared blog pronounces the event both packed and delicious

I love piñatas. There's something really satisfying about smashing a
colorful sculpture to pieces as heaps of candy scatter everywhere. It's been years since I've been to a party where a piñata was the highlight so this year, I'm determined to incorporate it into my Cinco de Mayo festivities. Although a piñata is not the easiest thing to make from scratch, I will say that the process was so much fun – I can't wait to make more!
You'll need:
Please note: I worked hard on making this instructable. The links are
Amazon affiliate links, so if you are planning on making your own and are going to buy the materials, please do through my links so I can afford to buy more materials myself and keep creating these instructables! Thanks you so much and God bless!
The first step is create the core of the piñata using paper mâché . Blow
up the punching balloon and tie it into a knot. Take off the rubber band on the opposite side and place a piece of tape over the protruding section.
The paper paper mâché paste is made up of one part flour to one part
water – I used about 3 cups of flour and 3 cups of water for this project. Mix thoroughly. The paste should be a rather thick consistency since it's the flour that will help bind the newspaper together.
Soak the newspaper strips into the paper mâché paste and remove the excess paste before placing it onto the balloon.
It helps to add the newspaper while the balloon is hanging. Tie twine
around the end of the balloon and suspend it from ceiling. Continue adding newspaper strips, making sure to overlap the strips. Allow to dry before adding a second and third layer. Dry completely overnight.

Northmor High School's show choir, Knightsounds, presented a dinner show on Saturday, March 22nd entitled "A Knight at the Movies." Members of the group performed various duets, solos, quartets, dances, and ensembles involving famous movie musical selections while the approximately 325 guests dined on a wonderful lasagna dinner.
Northmor's junior high honors choir, the Knights of Harmony, served the meal. The dinner show was preceded by a silent auction that benefited the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Between the silent auction and donation from the Northmor Music Boosters that sponsored the event, a check for $2,261.30 was sent to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The Knightsounds presented their full group performance following the meal and the announcement of the silent auction winners. Many thanks to those that donated items for the silent auction as well as those that purchased the items. Thank you as well to the Northmor community for your support! Knightsounds is under the direction of Mrs. Dana Ruth and Assistant Director, Miss LaNeta Wertz.
