Tiger Woods joins vacationing Obama for golf round
After returning to the sport, Woods went two years without winning, but his game is back on track and he currently is ranked No. 2 in the world. Woods won the last tournament he played, three weeks ago in San Diego.
The White House made clear from the start of Obama's trip that there would be no coverage of him because he would be on vacation with no plans to leave the club, which remained open to members and their guests.
It arranged for the pool of reporters who traveled with Obama to bunk at a Holiday Inn about a 20-minute drive away in Port St. Lucie. Whenever the reporters were brought to the Floridian on the off chance that Obama might leave the property, they were taken no further than a maintenance shed beyond the club gates but on the edge of the grounds.
The presence at the Floridian of a professional journalist who tweeted about Obama's game as he was playing, while White House reporters essentially were locked out, brought a sharp response from Ed Henry, the Fox News Channel correspondent who also is president of the White House Correspondents' Association.
"A broad cross section of our members from print, radio, online and TV have today expressed extreme frustration to me about having absolutely no access to the president of the United States this entire weekend," Henry said in a statement. "There is a very simple but important principle we will continue to fight for today and in the days ahead: transparency."
In response, Earnest, the White House spokesman said: "The press access granted by the White House today is entirely consistent with the press access offered for previous presidential golf outings. It's also consistent with the press access promised to the White House Press Corps prior to arrival in Florida on Friday evening."
Previous administrations have allowed brief news media coverage at either the beginning or the end of presidential golf games. Obama's policy generally is no coverage at all, but exceptions were made for separate outings he had in 2011 with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and former President Bill Clinton.
Golf Channel said Rosaforte is a member of the Floridian who sent his tweets from the clubhouse. Rosaforte did not have access to the course or to Obama, the network said.
Obama is in Florida while his wife and daughters are on an annual ski vacation out West. He was due to arrive back in Washington on Monday night.

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 5/3/12
By Jeremy Hritz It has been one week since the first day of the 2012 NFL Draft, and there is one player that has intrigued me to the point of distraction. There are no doubts surrounding the impact that David DeCastro will make in his rookie year. Players selected rounds three through seven will not be expected to start right away; they will only be expected to compete for a roster spot and contribute on special teams. However, the Steelers second round selection in Mike Adams represents a gray area, and there are two camps: one that believes he will bust and one that believes he will boom. If Read more [...]

The Best Thing You Ate In 2012
Think back on the last 365 days and tell us the first thing that comes to mind. And no cheating: THE FIRST THING.
This is The Matthew Sandwich on Sfilatino bread at Alidoro, an Italian speciality sandwich shop in NYC. It is impossibly large — stacked with mozzarella, thin-sliced prosciutto, arugula, and a simple oil and vinegar dressing. And it is the best thing I ate last year. I might even say it's the best sandwich I've ever had. Thing is, I usually hate sandwiches (*ducks*), but this one had such high quality ingredients, including the most unbelievably chewy bread, that I had to restrain myself not to eat lunch there every day after.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Johnny Jackson and Curt firstname.lastname@example.com Local school officials say they are pleased with proposed legislation that would give their school systems more freedom and flexibility on how to spend their state funding. Earlier this week, Gov. Sonny Perdue sent a letter to Georgia school superintendents announcing his intention for the state to grant school systems flexibility in how state funds are used. The move is an attempt to counter the state's current spending reduction plans that include reduced education funding. "This is certainly good news from the Governor's office in relation to relaxing the expenditure controls for state monies," said Jeff Allie, assistant superintendent of finance in Henry County Schools. "The flexibility allows systems to spend on the areas of their choice and need." The state's school systems currently spend state funds on programs within their direct instruction budgets, which contain funding to one or more of the state's Quality Basic Education Act (QBE) programs. Among the QBE programs, for example, are school library media centers and system-level professional development. Perdue hopes his proposal will help school systems better manage their budgets during the state's current economic crunch. Based on the proposal, for example, a system may be able to spend state funds it receives for professional development, on its school library media centers instead. Perdue revised the state's FY09 budget estimate earlier this summer, and asked for 6 percent spending reductions in most state agencies, and a 2 percent reduction in the funding formula for schools. To further help school systems, he also is requesting the State Board of Education to grant approval to all reasonable class-size waiver requests for this school year, and next (2009-10). "I trust these proposals will help give school systems some additional tools for addressing the challenges confronting all of us," he said. "I have discussed these proposals with the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the house, and I look forward to working with them to address these issues during the 2009 legislative session." Clayton County Schools Spokesman Charles White said the school system is currently looking at the proposal, and evaluating how it would affect its schools. However, he said Clayton appreciates the governor's efforts to help Georgia school systems deal with budget cuts. "We are seeking feedback from within the [district's] administration to see what impact they think this will have, but we don't have any responses yet." Clayton County has a $612 million budget for this fiscal year, with $314.1 million spent on instruction; $25 million set aside for improving instructional programs; $7.6 million spent on educational media services, and $16.8 million used for pupil services. The budget included an anticipated $284.4 million in state funding when it was approved by the Clayton County Board of Education this summer. When the school system released its proposed Fiscal Year 2009 (FY09) budget in June, district officials estimated that the school system had lost $57.2 million through state budget cuts since 2002. The system will present its mid-year budget adjustments to the Board of Education within the next two months. The adjustments allow the school system to reallocate funds based on what tax revenues have been like for the first half of the fiscal year. Roger Reese, the chief financial officer for Clayton Schools, has been out of the office this week and was unavailable for comment, said White. The system's spokesman explained that Clayton officials are hesitant to comment in depth about the proposal until it has received Reese's input. While Clayton is reviewing Perdue's proposal, Henry County school officials are not expecting any major changes to their funding of affected programs. Jeff Allie, Henry's finance director, said Henry will probably not discontinue any funding for its media centers and professional development as a result of the increased flexibility. "However, it is good to have the flexibility to change spending patterns during these austere times," Allie said. "We certainly appreciate the flexibility the proposal gives us. However, we currently spend more than 100 percent of state funds in each of the aforementioned areas [media centers and professional development]. I don't believe the proposal will change our current spending patterns as it relates to instruction." About $232 million is spent on direct instruction in Henry, which is operating on a total budget set at $327 million for FY09, with roughly 57 percent of that budget being state-funded. The school system, as others around the state, will deal with fewer dollars this year, due to additional state funding cuts to help make up for the state's $1.6 billion loss of revenue in FY08, and potential shortfalls in FY09. The governor's proposed legislation would make the relaxed controls retroactive to July 1, 2008, and effective through June 30, 2010.

Southwestern flautist R. Carlos Nakai has left his unique mark on the Native American music canon. He is not an archivist of traditional songs, but rather a synthesist of new sounds, fusing the spirit of his Navajo ancestors with modern sensibilities. He composes soaring melodies for solo wooden flute (of his own design) evoking the terrible beauty of the desert landscape, adding jazzy, ambient, and New Age elements. He's been recording since the early 1980s, and his solo outings and his collaborations with pianist/composer Peter Kater, flautist Paul Horn, and others have met great critical and popular success.
Native American flutist, R. Carlos Nakai, draws on his Navajo-Ute heritage in this fourth collaboration with guitarist William Eaton who adds the unique sounds of his hyraharp guitar, o''ele''n strings and spiral clef guitar to Nakai''s cedar flutes. Joined by percussionist and are joined by percussionist Will Clipman they bring fourth a music born in the Sonoran desert and colored by sounds of the world. A BILLBOARD MAGAZINE Critic''s Choice.

On Friday morning the University of Michigan announced that Fitzgerald Toussaint and Frank Clark will be suspended for one game each and not travel to Dallas for the Alabama game.
Here is the statement from Brady Hoke
"The decision was not easy, but I feel it is in the best interest of this program and for these kids, and those always will be my priorities. We have choices every day, and you have to be accountable to this program, your teammates, your family and the University of Michigan.
"These are our sons. These are real lives, and I think too often many people forget that. It's not always just about football, or a football decision. It's about teaching life lessons, and if this helps these kids or someone else make a right decision later, then we've won. That is ultimately what we are here for, to help them grow and mature to become better sons, fathers, husbands and members of society.
"They are good young men who made poor choices, and we will continue to support them as members of our team and family."
That means we should see a heavy dose of Thomas Rawls and Vincent Smith at running back.

We decided to try the meal of the day as we were tiring of the pizza and fast food places in the old town.
Pleasantly surprised, we went for the fish option, the soup was tasty and the grilled fish was nice, followed by nice pancakes/crepes. The meal cost 65kn each and was well worth it.
The waitress was very pleasant, we sat out on the terrace away from the crowds.

The parks rule for photography states, "Photography, videotaping, recording of any kind, broadcast or transmission for commercial purposes [is prohibited]."
There could be a blurring of the lines if Disney were able to prove that parties posting to social media, in blogs or on video sites like YouTube or Vimeo were being directly compensated for those assets.
The Park Rules and Regulations clearly state, with respect to Disney's use of your image, taken within their property, "We may photograph, film, videotape, record or otherwise reproduce the image and/or voice of any person who enters the Park and use the same for any purpose without payment to any person."
This stuff is quite clear.
As far as whether the filmmaker has been monetized through the work, that may not be important unless Disney wants to recover damages. Their greater interest may be to simply exert enough legal pressure on the producer(s) to bury the film under the very threat of litigation, which is entirely within their rights.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 232 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by mediatraveler Eric Saves the Day! All I have to say is that if it weren't for Eric at the front desk, my days as a SPG devotee would have been over. My Monday night started at this hotel by being rudely told by the woman at the front desk that my room was not available (although the rest of my team that checked in after me somehow managed to get their desired room). After my initial experience, I dragged myself up to my room only to realize that it was on the second floor right over the exit (way to take care of platinum members). So in between getting to hear everyone and everything outside, I managed to get a few hours of sleep. When I finally awoke (tired and cranky) I was greeted with a cold shower (it seems like hot water is only for valued guests) where the water barely dripped out of the shower. After my shower, I made the decision to cancel all future reservations for my team (we tend to travel in a pack and for some reason stay at the same hotel together each week). On my way through the lobby Eric recognized me and asked how I was doing (mind you this was only the second week we've been staying here). I instantly responded, "terrible". Without hesitation, he replied, "Let's see if we can fix that". Within minutes he solved my issues had me in a new room and kept my team as SPG fanatics. Thank you Eric for going above and beyond! As far as the rooms and the hotel. I'll admit that my new is nice, the hotel itself is undergoing renovations (mildly annoying but, tolerable), and most of the staff is very nice and cheerful. In fact if it weren't for the bad experience, I would have immediately recommended this hotel. Based on Eric's excellent customer service, and how things have turned around since that fateful night, I plan to keep my team here for the near future. January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPGFav48 Fitting Accommodations I enjoyed my stay at Sheraton Great Valley. Everything met my expectations. The staff were pleasant and accommodated my requests. I ordered room service 2 nights and the delivery staff were very respectful and courteous. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant was a pleasant experience as well. Overall, a fine week of stay. January 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by FrequentTraveler88 Amaing staff! Was impressed by the staff, from the front desk to the manager, who assisted finding my lost rewards points reservation. December 31, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by sharrmar A cold Experience I understand that it is December and cold outside, but a hotel room should be a refuge from the cold. The floor in my room was incredibly cold and drafty. I stood next to the heating/AC unit and cold air was blowing in from outside under the unit. If I sat at the desk to work I was very cold. So I raised the heat to compensate and then it was so dry in the room. Also the shower was not willing to serve up hot water. The water was lukewarm at best. This was an uncomfortable stay. December 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeweltastic Exceptional Customer Service! I stay at this hotel a few times each month for business. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to make my stay pleasant. From the front desk to the restaurant to the shuttle drivers to the concierge 5th floor everyone always has a smile on their face and is a hard worker. I also appreciate when the front desk staff puts me in a suite whenever possible since I'm a light sleeper. Thanks for always making my stay comfortable! December 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rown201 Perfect location for our hockey team Loved the location for our hockey tournament. December 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cruisin Great Hotel and Convenient to all. Great hotel, helpful staff, clean rooms and common areas. December 2, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Eileen2013 Hotel is desperately rundown We started in room 303. Had to move after water started leaking through the light fixture over the tub. Moved to room 308. Coffee maker was broken, furniture battered, sheer curtains missing, sink faucets moveable--and best of all--shower handle was broken making it impossible to get a hot shower. We have stayed at this hotel every Thanksgiving weekend for years. We will not be staying there next year unless it is completely renovated. November 30, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by CFP1 Unrewarded Loyalty I reserved a king but was downgraded to a double at check in. So much for Platinum status treatment which promises upgrades yet they couldn't even honor basic reservations. This used to be a nice hotel but it is looking quite dated and the staff, while friendly, don't go out of their way for the most loyal of customers. November 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Helen51 Lack of Attention to Room Request I always request Room 514, but every time I check-in, everyone always seems oblivious to my request. It's never marked down, and they don't see where I have ever requested it. Of course, that room has already been assigned, and I don't get to have that room. Our company houses many guests at this hotel. This is a small request, but never taken seriously. November 22, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Artf Hotel about to start floor by floor renovation It really needs it ! Front desk told me that they are listening and refurbishment of rooms starts next week, none too soon. November 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MaryE8 The staff is awesome!!! Warm, friendly and inviting! The hotel needs updates - but the staff is amazing. Very customer service oriented. they have added new items to their restaurant menu and they are very good. November 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robert22 Helpful Staff I recently stayed a the Great Valley Sheraton. I have stayed here many times. The front desk staff, especially Sean, were very helpful, courteous, and friendly. November 21, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by thompson234 needs improvement The bathroom did not have a working vent- the sink and wash area was small- One of the elevators was not working leading to long waits going up or down to the room-(as compensation the hotel offered free internet) this is not acceptable--they should have offered free drink at the bar and/or discounted breakfast- Breakfast buffett was very expensive and not quality-they should offer free continental breakfast- November 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Guest230 Guest230 The hotel does not offer complementary continental breakfast for the guests and the room did not have a refrigerator in it but for an additional cost would be provided. These items are standard with other hotels. November 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GOLFERMOM2 Love My Home Away from Home Have been staying here for 23 years and I feel like I am at home. The staff is there for my every whim. No it's not a 5 star place but the staff makes it feel like one. November 6, 2013

Rated 2 out of 5 by mbb11803 disappointing room Bathroom needed work. 1. whirlpool in tub did not work 1st day. they fixed it 2. stopper in tub did not hold water next day. i did not complain as we were leaving 3. faucet in sink was loose. 4. were 2 hair dryers in bathroom because one did not work. just took up room. October 28, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Guest26 Room was terrible After shower - water all over Lightening very poor, especially in bathroom Pillows, worst I very had Iron board does not fit in the closet. If you put in the closet, could hang up my clothes Elevator didn't work - big wedding party on floor for only one elevator. Ice machine didn't work. Walls very thin - can hear everything Big stain in the carpet in the hall way Try to call for wake up call, phone did not work Try to call for Guest services, phone did not work Nightmare will never stay in a Sherton again. October 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jpain Great Valley Sheraton-Fraser Comments - Only one elevator operating with a full hotel Breakfast/Dinner for my group was excellent My roommate and I arrived at separate times - the key generation process invalidated the other key three times during the 2.4 days. Hotel is lacking maintenance - budgeting needs to be improved. October 28, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nellak This hotel was not satisfactory I was not happy at all with our stay First the rate that I was quoted was $169.00 for the night and the charge was $228.15 to my credit card. I do not have an explanation for the difference. There was only one elevator working so I had to use the stairs. October 22, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ttom2992 This hotel needs major refurbishing This is a facility with a well trained and customer oriented staff working with a building that needs major refurbishing due to wear and tear. I will use the facility again and trust that the renovations that the staff assured me are coming will arrive shortly. October 19, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Robert22 Another Stay at the Sheraton Great Valley The workout facility has been upgraded and was great. That's the good part of my stay. I've stayed at this hotel probably 20 or 30 times over the last 5 years. It seemed that there were all new personnel at the front desk this trip. When I checked in, the room type I had reserved was not available. I asked why, and was told that there were no king rooms. I asked if I had reserved a king room (I know I did) and they said they had no idea. There was one king room left, but it was for a handicapped person. I was acknowledged as an SPG member, but typically receive some type of amenity at check in. None were offered. Maybe that's a new policy that I'm not aware of. I was unable to log into the internet for two of the three nights I stayed at the hotel. When I mentioned it at the front desk, they confirmed the correct spelling of my last name and room number (required to sign in) and said just try again it should work this time and to call if it didn't. I didn't find that terribly helpful. There was a fire alarm at 2:30 AM and again at 7:00AM one morning. The workers did not appear to have a clue what to do. People called the front desk, and I watched the phones basically being ignored. People came down to the lobby asked what to do and were told they could go outside, wait in the lobby, or go back to their rooms as the alarm could not be turned off until the fire dept arrived. Some people rode the elevator back up to their rooms as the alarm was going off. I stayed in the lobby. The fire department cleared the building and the workers didn't notify anyone. People waiting outside finally came inside and asked if they could go back to their rooms, and were told yes, but there was no pro-active notice to do so. When the alarm went off again at 7:00, I think most people just ignored it. I think your staff needs better training on how to handle fire alarms. I never received any comments about pardon the inconvenience, no reduced rate on my bill, nothing. This property looks and feels "tired". The workers previously have been friendly and engaging; always welcoming me to the hotel and making me feel like a valued customer. Unfortunately, at least during this stay the current employees offer no such personality. I'm going to try the guys down the street for my next stay, which happens to be next week. October 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JSB778 A Great Experience Sheraton Great Valley went far beyond all expectations to make our US Navy Destroyer Reunion a memorable one. The rooms were excellent. The staff did much more than would normally be expected to answer every need. The food and the service were fantastic. This hotel will go out of their way to make your event easy to hold; they even covered up some of my errors for me! October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by GrayFox32 USS MASSEY Association Reunion The Sheraton Great Valley Fraser PA did a superb job hosting our ship crew reunion. I heard endless accolades from crew members and wives on the professionalism and Can Do support from your entire staff. I will recommend your hotel to other reunion associations. Great job! s/Richard E Pearsall Captain USN (ret), President USS MASSEY Association October 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MassachusettsMaven Nice blend of comfort, charm, conveniences The hotel was busy during the weekend of our stay, with 2 wedding parties, 50th high school reunioners and a high school football team. But our room on an upper floor at the end of the hall was quiet and pleasant, and allowed for a good night's sleep. We started the day with coffee brewed in our room each morning (coffee also is available in the lobby fairly early). We took advantage of the lower-level gym each day; we didn't try the indoor pool but it looked inviting. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast in the first-floor restaurant, which, the manager/hostess explained, incorporates a house from the 1800s and has an old-fashioned feel with high ceilings and chandeliers, fireplaces, hardwood floors and oriental carpets. (The hotel apparently also incorporates a 1700s house.) The mezzanine level offers a large bar with ample table-seating for patrons, as well as an area with numerous desktop computers and wifi access, where we were able to work on our laptops. The only reason the Overall rating is "Good" is that 1 of 2 elevators was not working during what was a very busy weekend with guests and cleaning staff vying for the 1 working elevator. We found that using the stairs was much faster and, for us, easy alternative, but that wouldn't be an option for other guests. October 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by RichandTonya Disgusting and broken We were upgraded to a "suite" as platinum members on the 3rd floor. If this was an upgrade, I cannot imagine a regular room. It had a beautiful parking lot view. The room was filthy. The carpet looked, smelled and felt like it hadn't been cleaned in a decade. The air in the room smelled like the last guest had never heard of deodorant. There were hairs of prior guests everywhere. Stains on doors and walls that I don't want to know the origin. To top off this lovely experience, the water in the sink and shower could only be adjusted to ice cold or scalding, no in between. We couldn't shower in the room, we had to go to another room to shower. When informing the front desk staff of our inconvenience, NOTHING was done to make up for it. We are platinum members but no one should have to deal with this. I'm not sure we will ever stay at another Sheraton after this experience. October 7, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by KJPS This hotel is tired and dirty - a shame that is actually called a Starwood property! My furniture looked like it came from a garage sale. The upholstery on the chair was unraveling, the hem on the curtains was too. The curtains were severely faded in spots. The doors had dings in them that were partially fixed with patched, but never sanded and repainted. Extra holes in the walls. Lamps were lopsided, no matter what you did to straighten them. The elevator (only 1 worked) was dirty -- really, actual dirt on the floor that never was cleaned up over the course of 2 days I was there. I will say, however, that the bed and linens were comfortable and the staff is incredibly personable, especially Lorraine in the club room for breakfast -- she is a treasure! I can't believe this is Starwood. If any Starwood execs show up there to actually spend the night, they would be appalled. September 26, 2013

For reasons too obvious to cite, much more attention is being paid to financial reporting at publicly held companies. And those in the food-distribution sector are no exception. One indication of the increased attention to financial reports was illustrated well in recent days when a bellwether firm outside the food business -- General Electric Co. -- issued its first-quarter financials. It's instructive to see what happened at GE since it's the nation's largest company, as measured by ...

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Cutler deal brings stability to NFC North QB position
Green Bay - Aaron Rodgers is signed through 2019. Matthew Stafford is signed through 2017.
Now, Jay Cutler is signed through 2020.
At least for the next four years, the quarterback position in the NFC North will be mostly static. Only the Minnesota Vikings have a question at quarterback and they could address it in the draft this year.
The Bears waited just four days after their season-ending loss to the Packers in a game that determined the NFC North title to announce that Cutler had agreed to a seven-year deal.
According to GM Phil Emery, the Bears started working on the extension in earnest on Monday and reached an agreement with agent Bus Cook in three days. Reports have said that the deal will pay Cutler $18 million per year for the first three years. The total value of the deal has not yet been divulged.
Cutler was scheduled to be a free agent after the season and some people had speculated that the Bears would put the franchise tag on him.
"We're very excited to have Jay for the long term," Emery said Thursday morning at Halas Hall. "He battled through the tough times and kept fighting.
"Jay doesn't have to be better than Aaron Rodgers. Our team has to be better than the Green Bay Packers."
Rodgers remains the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL with a season average of $22 million based on the $110 million of new money he received on a five-year extension.
Stafford received $53 million of new money on a three-year deal in July for an average of $17.6 million per year.

Latino group backs Faulconer, schools chief gives Fletcher nod
Among the other goals in his blueprint:
• Partner with the San Diego Unified School District to carve out as many as 50 acres or more of park space.
• Promote water conservation by crafting a rate structure that gives users incentives for cutting back on water use.
• Encourage the creation of more affordable housing by identifying new revenue sources for the city's Housing Trust Fund and potentially easing parking regulations that inhibit such housing.
• Work toward passing a citywide policy that would reduce the proliferation of single-use plastic bags.
• Ensuring public documents are easily accessible and responding promptly to pubic records requests.
As is the case with the other comprehensive jobs and neighborhood plans released by Fletcher and Faulconer, Alvarez's blueprint doesn't have a specific price tag, which is not uncommon among political candidates, observed San Diego State economist Dan Seiver.
There's much to like about some of Alvarez's well-intentioned proposals, says Seiver, such as higher police pay, beefed-up infrastructure, eliminating plastic bags, and job training programs for San Diego's high-wage employment sectors.
"I'd like to see price tags," he said. "Our fiscal situation isn't that great, and if we float bonds, we still have to pay the interest."
Alvarez campaign spokesman Stephen Heverly noted that while some of the councilman's initiatives would cost money, other goals would save the city money.
Faulconer on Tuesday released his plan for growing jobs in the city, and a major neighborhoods initiative is expected from Fletcher's campaign in the coming week.

The work doesn't end after you make the color sale.
Color installation, more than anything, can involve a lot of maintenance to make sure the plants remains as vibrant as the customer wants. Jeff Miller of Creativexteriors says some of his larger projects have a number of flowers in pots (900 on one municipal property) that can't be irrigated by a system, so they have to be watered by hand.
"If you do color and install it, you have to maintain it," Miller says. "If you turn it over to somebody else it doesn't always look that good. Honestly, the client might not call you back next year because the people who did the maintenance didn't perform their end of the service."
Melissa Scherb, vice president of business development for the Chicago Branch of Landscape Concepts Management, says she thinks ahead to avoid a maintenance time drain.
"In the commercial industry, it is important to select plant material that doesn't need a lot of maintenance – angelonia, begonias – all varieties, lantanas, non-flowering coleus like 'Redhead' or 'Indian Summer,'" Scherb says.
"Generally speaking I tried to avoid plants that need a lot of maintenance like verbenas, marigolds (because of deadheading) and Zonal Geraniums. Since I have crews and managers who specialize in seasonal color, I encourage them to monitor sites weekly. Of course, weeding and fertilizing of beds and pots is critical and should be done on an as needed basis."
Casey Vickery, president of Benchmark Landscapes in Austin, Texas, says his crews work on properties weekly, and has insecticides, fungicides and fertilizers to feed the plants as soon as they're in ground.
"Not every site needs attending every week, but we have the stuff with us so as we see the problems we address it every week," says Vickery. "On the commercial side, if your annual colors and your turf are looking good, you are usually on the top end of the landscape scale. So color is extremely important. If you let it fall or go backwards or if it's not looking good, then it reflects on the whole property."

They were novels discussed in whispers during class, passed around among groups of friends and read by flashlight late into the night.
They explored serious topics — race and class, body image, sex, addiction, divorce. And, says author and critic Lizzie Skurnick, these young-adult novels were real literature that didn't get the respect they deserved.
Now Skurnick, a former Baltimore resident who received her master's degree from the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars, is bringing them back
Her imprint, Lizzie Skurnick Books, has republished four classic young-adult novels since its launch in September. A fifth is slated to hit shelves this month, and Skurnick plans to publish at least 56 more novels by authors such as Lois Duncan, M.E. Kerr and Lila Perl.
Skurnick, 40, says the young-adult books she grew up reading had well-constructed, complex plots and richly developed characters. But as booksellers made space for today's blockbuster teen fantasies such as "The Hunger Games" and the "Twilight" trilogy, the many realistic young-adult novels from the 1960s, '70s and '80s went out of print, relegated to the dollar rack of used-book stores.
"This was such a rich period of literature, and nobody knows it exists any more," says Skurnick. "Each work is so multilayered. All of the authors had their own writing style, their own gestalt, their own particular obsessions."
Among the books Skurnick has republished are prolific young-adult author Lois Duncan's first novel, "Debutante Hill," which looks at a wealthy teen's decision to challenge her peers, and Ernest J. Gaine's "A Long Day in November," the story of a young African-American boy in rural Louisiana.
The literary merits of young-adult novels have long been overlooked, Skurnick says.
"I really do think it's totally sexist," Skurnick says. "When people think of teen girls, they think of bubble gum. There is no other school of literature that is this maligned."
Although adolescence, and the quest for identity and independence, have inspired novels for centuries, the start of the modern genre of young-adult fiction is usually traced to the publication of S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders" in 1967, says Deborah Taylor, the Enoch Pratt Free Library's coordinator of school and student services.
The Pratt's collection includes well-worn copies of many of the novels that Skurnick chose for her imprint, says Taylor, who started as a librarian in the Pratt's young-adult section 40 years ago this week.
Skurnick "has done a really good job of choosing books that connect back to the emotional issues of growing up," says Taylor. She thinks the republished novels will appeal not only to adult women who have fond memories of checking out stacks of paperbacks, but to their teenage daughters who are interested in understanding the environment in which their mothers grew up.
While many of today's most popular books for teenagers deal with fantasy and science fiction, they explore the same struggles as their predecessors, Taylor says.
"At the emotional core, they're still dealing with the same issues," she says. "We're still having boyfriend-girlfriend issues, even if the boyfriend is a glittering vampire."
Warm and unpretentious, Skurnick seems like the kind of woman every teenage girl would like to have as a big sister. Her remarks are suffused with the easy wit she brings to "That Should Be a Word," the New York Times Magazine column in which she coins humorous new words.
Although Skurnick has lived in Jersey City, N.J., for the past seven years, she traces much of her success to the eight years she spent in Baltimore, which she describes as "such a good place to launch a writing career."
A New Jersey native and Yale graduate, Skurnick moved to Baltimore in 1998 to attend Hopkins. She stuck around until 2006, living in a series of cheap apartments in Charles Village. She ghostwrote novels for the Sweet Valley High series, freelanced for The Baltimore Sun and the City Paper and, along with some fellow adjunct professors, started blogging about literature.
"Teaching is depressing," she says. "I wanted to do something that was interesting again."
Skurnick's blog, "The Old Hag," drew a lot of readers — including an editor at The New York Times, who asked her to start writing reviews for the newspaper. Soon she was writing for the Times, The Washington Post and NPR while also working for Baltimore-based Girls' Life magazine.
Then Skurnick had a second big break. A friend of hers introduced her to Anna Holmes, who was starting a Gawker-affiliated site for women called Jezebel.

Thank you for your help in making the site a more enjoyable experience

Well here goes my first of many reviews. Fierce is a great smelling cologne that every woman under the age of 25 loves and can actually probably say, "hey you smell like abercrombie." For some people that would be a good thing...and some would hate it. This cologne starts of interesting and doesn't change all that much as it settles out. It starts sorta synthetic orange and lemon I guess but it actuallly works and smells great. As it dries down it doesn't change much except it does lose it's sharp synthetic note and is replaced with some nice musk. Longevity is another strong point on this cologne. I can do two or three sprays and it'll last 6-7 hours easy on skin. This is above average as I can usually get 4 hours out of most frags. Yes this is a fragrance aimed solely at teens. But does that make it bad? Absolutely not. This smells great and there is not one female who will say she doesn't like it.
