Ami Afriatni & Sandy Pramuji
Markis Kido and Hendra Setiawan screamed in relief after winning the Singapore Open Super Series men's doubles final on Sunday.
They embraced each other after their 22-20, 11-21, 21-6 defeat of second-seeded Ko Sung-hyun and Yoo Yeon-seong of South Korea in the men's doubles final at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
For Markis and Hendra, former world champions and the 2008 Olympic gold medalists, the victory ended a three-year title drought that started in 2009 when they beat Malaysian top pair Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong in the French Open Super Series.
"This is incredible. This means that we can still compete against the world's best and win," Markis said in a text message on Sunday. "Our only regret is, why only now? Why didn't we play like this since last year so that we would probably have qualified for the Olympics?"
The pair, now ranked No. 8 in the world, had struggled with their game since 2008, when they won four Super Series and took the Olympic gold medal in Beijing. In 2009, they won just two titles before the long drought began.
It was the darkest three years of the pair's career. Their biggest achievement during the period was winning the gold medal at the 2011 Southeast Asian Games.
The long stretch of poor play caused them to miss out on this year's Olympics in London, where they would have had the chance to defend their gold medal. Only the top eight doubles teams in the Badminton World Federation rankings were admitted to the competition, and they were ninth when the cut was made on May 3.
"We regret that, but now we're looking forward to our future," Hendra said.
Their rejuvenation started with a title in the second-tier Australian Open Grand Prix Gold in Sydney in April.
Then they made the semifinals of the Indonesian Open — their first semifinal in a major tournament since last year's Japan Open — before falling to eventual winners Lee Yong-dae and Jung Jae-sung of South Korea.
"Now we have our confidence back," Markis said.
Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand took the men's singles title by edging out China's Wang Zhengming 21-18, 21-19 in the final.
Germany's Juliane Schenk took her maiden Super Series trophy with a 21-11, 26-24 defeat of Taiwan's Cheng Shao-chieh in the women's singles final.
Bao Yixin and Zhong Qianxin of China won in women's doubles with a 21-12, 21-17 defeat of Taiwan's Cheng Wen-hsing and Chien Yu-chin, while Taiwan's Chen Hung-ling and Cheng Wen-hsing beat Shintaro Ikeda and Reiko Shiota of Japan 21-17, 21-11 for the mixed doubles title.

September 3, 2014
Well, the more things change the more they stay the same. At least that how it goes when it comes to the Championship of Cleveland's NNGA chapter. For the third consecutive year, Jeff Gilbert is the overall champion. But we'll get to him later. The weekend of August 23, 24 was one with perfect golf weather. For the two days NNGA played at Sweetbrier in Avon, Ohio, the sun warmed the greens so that they were running fast, and the fairways were lush. The result; golfers were rewarded for good shots and penalized for bad ones. Miss the fairway, pay the price. Day one of the Championship ended with William Tell giving Jeff all he could handle, but Jeff's distance and ball control, was as good as ever. He shot a 3 under par round of 69/64 to lead Tell by nine strokes, Sam Gilbert, James Chandler and Jamie Gilbert, were hot on the leader's heels. Sunday began with eight golfers in contention for ....second place, because Jeff put the pedal to the metal, showing no signs of letting up. A number of players did make big moves on Sunday. Sam Gilbert held on for second place (166 gross/144 net) Steve Williams came out of nowhere to take third place (189/144). One stroke behind was Dr. Bob Moseley with a 178/145 to edge Donald "Corky" Williams in a 2 hole playoff. One of this year's goals of the NNGA was to attract new members and to get younger. Hats off to Pasa Barnet, Eric Payne and Deandre Benson on their recruitment efforts. The organization created an associate membership status for those new recruits. Winner of the Associate category was Deshon Valley who shot 174/137. Now back to Jeff Gilbert. His game was tight. He hit his irons on the money and sank 95% of his putts from eight feet and in. He may have missed five fairways over the two days and even on those he was in the first cut. When Jeff's hitting it long and accurate, and his short game and putting are on, he's unbeatable, and this weekend was just such a weekend. So once again, with a two day total of 139/129, the best amateur golfer in Cleveland is Jeff Gilbert. Congratulations Jeff on a fine season.
Until next week, keep it in the short grass.

'What is it you say you do here?'
I have never been one to toot my own horn about what I do or my career.
So, imagine my surprise when I was asked to do just that during Career Day at Cliffside Elementary on Friday morning.
For the week or so leading up to my presentation, I was somewhat nervous over what I would say.
Exactly how do I tell fourth and fifth graders about what I do?
I was assured by some people not to worry and that it would be easy.
So, I figured the easy thing would be to start off with a question:
"How many of you have heard of The Daily Courier?"
Hands spring up across the room. I was very encouraged by the fact that fourth and fifth graders had heard of the newspaper. I thought things were definitely starting off on the right foot.
"How many of your parents get The Daily Courier?"
"Well, we don't get it but my mom gets our neighbor's paper and reads it and puts it back."
Then I dive a little into my background. Instead of focusing on papers that I had worked for, I decided to talk about what events I had been able to cover over the course of my career.
I talked about college football, murders, interviewing inmates on death row and the devastating tornado in Joplin, Mo. where I had the chance to do a story involving a visit from President Barack Obama.
I figured the president or college football would illicit several questions but, alas, I was incorrect.
"Who is the coolest person you have interviewed?"
"Well, that is a little subjective," I replied. "It really depends on what your definition of 'cool' is."
So, I explained that, while being able to interview prominent musicians and actors is great, the coolest person I ever interviewed was a 90-year-old woman who spent her time, money and energy knitting hats for underprivileged youth in her community.
That took the kids aback a little bit. I'm sure they figured I would say someone like Jay-Z, LeeAnn Rimes or some other pop culture figure. I guess I wanted to illustrate that there are different "shades" of cool.
"Have you ever had your life threatened because of a story?"
"At one point, that was happening just about every day," I responded.
At that moment, eyes became as wide as saucers. Probably more so because there was the thought that I could write something that would call my life into question, no so much that it would actually happen.
"So, what do you do now?"
"Well, I get to do a little bit of everything," I said. "I get to write, look at other stories and plan how they appear in the paper."
"Have you seen anyone die before?"
"Yes I have," I replied. But I wanted to get out of that arena of conversation quick because I was a little afraid of being too graphic for the likes of the students at Cliffside Elementary.
"Do you have a boss?"
"Of course," I said. "I have a boss in the office and she has a boss and he has a boss."
"Do they tell you what to write?"
"No, we don't have anyone tell us what we can and can't write," I said. "But, that doesn't mean that we can just write whatever we want. We have guidelines that we have to follow and there are things that we can and can't say."
"So, you can't just write anything about anybody?"
"No, we have to make sure that what we write can be proven. Now, we can express opinions about things but that is for another page."
"Ah ..."
After it was all said and done, I had a huge sigh of relief, looked back and was happy with the fact that I got to share a little bit about our profession with younger generations.
It's not everyday that journalists get that kind of opportunity.
And, the kids at Cliffside Elementary were very attentive, excited and asked very good questions of me, my job and this profession.
It served as a reminder of why it is we do what we do every day.

Buckingham Rumbles To 6-0
Buckingham rumbles to 6-0
Fifteen carries, that's all it took for Buckingham's uncanny 1-2 punch to put the game out of reach. For the sixth straight game, and on homecoming night, the Knights running backs came to do work with Kenneth Johnson and Kyree Koonce combining for 292 yards and four touchdowns to pave the way to a 48-0 win over Randolph Henry.
Johnson needed just seven attempts to pile up 167 yards and two touchdowns while Koonce took his eight carries for 125 yards and two scores as well. Johnson also had a 57-yard punt return. The running back duo now has an amazing 1,624 yards and 34 TDs combined with four more games to add to their total in the regular season.
With Cam Johnson, the homecoming king and regular starter at quarterback out with an injury, John Edwards stood in at quarterback to complete five of his six passes for 59 yards.
Defensively, Buckingham saw Tariq Bartee lead the way with 10.5 tackles and two forced fumbles.
For the fourth straight week the Knights scored at least 40 points with the season low sitting at 34 in the season opener.
The Knights, (6-0, 3-0 James River) travel to Central Lunenburg on Friday at 7 p.m.

Lots to get to this week. So let's just dig right into this week's recap for the incredible Season 4 Season Finale, "Goodbye, Toby":
The opening prank: Looks like Jim's back to pranking Dwight. Funny bit, ran a little long, Dwight breaks his own phone. But no need to harp on it, we have a lot to get to…
It's Toby's last day, meaning, in other words, it's the greatest day of Michael's life. He does some pretty skilled grapevines around the office before anyone arrives, because he might as well make the best day of his life also the longest one. Michael sets his watch alarm. If only he knew.
Michael has a meeting with the PPC (Party Planning Committee) about the Toby going away party. Angela, the PPC's leader, is going the standard route: Cake, and 2 pictures of Toby that are unsuitable for even the most mundane of Myspace pages. Michael wants a big bash — after all, the devil's exploding, and he's got money to burn thanks to his sweetly demented Nana. When he realizes Tight Lips McGee ain't gonna give it to him, he undermines her power and hands the Leadership role to Phyllis. Much like Rudy Ruetteger, Phyllis has been waiting for this her whole life, Coach. The fire in that woman's eyes! Now, to find out where anti-gravity boots/depressants are sold.
Who is this blonde woman? Oh, it's Holly, Toby's replacement, played by OSCAR NOMINEE AMY RYAN. She looks nice! Almost like a lady bayyyyy… no I'll wait.
Pam find out on-line that she's been accepted to the Pratt School of Design, and tells Jim. 3 months in New York. Well, not New York, exactly, but actually a very deep part of Brooklyn that is decidedly un-Pam-like. Pam think the absence will be fine, as her and Jim are MFEO. It's all so "perfect".
Oh, here's something the show has been sorely missing: Michael and Dwight spying on the office through the blinds. These little whispered conversations are some of the best moments (gaydar anyone?) Michael hates replacement Toby, and Dwight thinks she "stinks." Michael decides he wants to haze her, and good ol' Dwight's little tinker tank immediately begins sputtering. While he's off dialing Mose, Phyllis learns that people don't really sell anti-gravity machines. Pity.
The Encyclopedia Britannica of recaps continues after the jump.
Michael meets Holly, and immediately shoots her down. Holly, surprisingly, opens Michael like a book, figures out that he hates Toby, and agrees that the guy is kind of a bore. Uh oh.
Creed has a mini-episode when Holly asks a polite question. He thinks he might work in "Quabity Assu-ance", but isn't taking any chances.
As his way of "initiating" her, Dwight tells Holly that Kevin is a… "slow" person. And so begins probably the best running gag of the night: Kevin as a retard. Holly puts on her kid skin gloves to meet Kevin, and the conversation goes something like this:
Holly: (saccharin sweet) Hi. What do you do?
Kevin: I do the numbers.
Holly: Oh! Good for you.
Kevin: Want an M&M?
Holly: Oh, no, that is so sweet. Thank you though.
Kevin: I keep them here at my desk so that everybody doesn't take them.
Holly: Well that is a very safe place for them.
Kevin: Yeah.
Michael is now extremely nervous around his new Holly-gram, and after the initial awkward exchanges, he offers to make her a mix tape for her ride in. Oh Holly, you've now truly been accepted. Who doesn't love listening to DMB's "Crash" while stuck in PA traffic?
Now, I know you all will hate me for this, but I kind of really hate creepy stalky Toby. His obsession with Pam seems a little off, no? Anyways, he goes to great lengths to find a camera to get a snap of him and and his immortal beloved.
Jim calls Ryan, aka Beardio, to tell him about a big sale. Ryan tells him to redirect the sale to make it look like it was purchased online, and pretty much shuts him down. Jim then goes to help out Michael with his newfound HR crush, and uses himself and Pam as an inter-office reference guide. Jim realizes that not only is he in love with Pam, but almost every relationship highlight took place right there at Dunder Mifflin! Thank God the cameras were around to capture all of them for our viewing pleasure. Jim wants to propose to Pammy, and gives Phyllis a Goodfellas-esque envelope full of cash to get the job done.
Holly helps Kevin with the vending machine. He thinks she wants to bang him. You can understand how he came to that conclusion. ps Where's Stacy? Boo, I liked invisible Stacey. Jim, meanwhile, leaves Ryan a message saying he's not going to be pushed around anymore.
Back to the Holl-ster: She took her chair apart for lumbar support reasons. Michael tries to help her, and manages drops his Yoda impression. Strangely, he doesn't completely bomb with the girl! True love? Seems like it, no? Michael tries to ask her out, fails, gets invited to a non-existent orgy, and bonds over Jon Lovitz. Good lord, he is likable when he's nervous.
Angela shredded the vendor list to screw Phyllis. Phyllis, in turn, pushes Angela's things off a desk. Comme Ci, Comme Ça.
Now, one of the best parts of the episode: Toby's Exit Interview, which Michael has been looking forward to for years. He's got questions prepared — even a gift! — but all goes sour when his new paramour wants to sit in, and even Pam shows up to take notes. Captain Bruisin' kicks things off with "Of all the idiots, in all the idiot villages, in all the idiot worlds, you stand alone my friend." Then the girls show up. Which really took the bite out of the following questions, which went from rhetorical badgering to fakily interested: "Who… do you think you are?" — "I'm Toby." Also "What gives you the right?" Holly helpfully gives Michael a list of HR-approved questions, such as "What would you improve about this place?" Michael then slyly threatens to kill Toby, lest he ruin his changes with Holly, and the Tobester gives in. Then, Pam makes Michael give Toby his watch. This whole scene was perfection.
The Dunderlings gather round Jim's desk to witness, strangely, a Youtube video of Ryan being arrested for misleading the shareholders with his little double dipping technique (and not, as Oscar suggested, for his beard.) Do you think he'll meet Prison Mike in jail? Michael definitely hopes so.
Michael is really upset about Ryan, like a little adorable child needing to be held. Holly comes in to console him. She really is sweet and simple like a lady baker.
DUNDER MIFFLIN CARNIVAL ALERT. Pam has a feeling he'll propose. Poor Pam.
Michael and Holly ride the Ferris Wheel together, and then catch Dwight and Mose planting a raccoon in her car. Meredith, of course, picks the lock. Michael comes to the rescue for his new lady. He gives an emotionally driven speech claiming that Holly is the best thing to happen to Dunder Mifflin since World War II. Which leads us to ask: What happened to the company in WW2? Also, it seems that poor Meredith is eventually going to get rabies, whether she likes it or not. Holly touches Michael's arm, and sets off the fireworks a tad early.
Kevin does Phyllis a solid and goes to buy BBQ sauce. Holly can't get over that he drives his own car, even though she herself drives her own car.
Michael gets up on the tiny stage to sing Toby a goodbye song, though, sadly, not "Beers in Heaven" or "Total Eclipse of the Fart." (Feel free to leave your own lyrics to these two songs in the comments.) Michael does a genius rendition of Supertramp's "Goodbye, Toby", and Pam admits that she thought Toby was kind of cute, which is a little strange and also all wrong. Kevin then calls Michael and tells him he needs to get down to the Supermarket NOW.
Michael arrives to find Kevin leavin' the Super with Jan… who is PREGNANTTTTTT OMFGGGG. Jan breaks the news to Michael that it's not his, but that she also didn't cheat on him during the relationship… in fact, she claims she went to a "great" sperm bank because, sadly, she did not want to carry Michael's seed. Given her age, she needed to "make this one count." But let's face it: THAT IS HUNTER'S BABY! Indie Rock can do crazy things to a cougar, you guys. Jan invites Michael to her lamaze class, and he has to "think about it."
The fireworks have started… this is it. Jim is GOING TO PROPOSE to Pam. He reaches in his pocket for the ring, but before he could get all gushy, Andy Bernard grabs the microphone… and
(And also hilariously breaks Darryl's keyboard. Kudos to the sound effects person for that one.)
She gives him her tiny hand in marriage, and accepts.
Fine, she says "OK." STILL. Mr. Thunder Stealer ruined Jim's propsal! All of that firework money for nothing. Andy felt that the time was right. (He had been carrying around the ring for 6 years, can you blame him?) And sadly, Kelly will not be a bridesmaid. Dwight, understandably, is crushed. His little monkey is no longer his.
Toby still hasn't gotten his Pam pic, and finally gets one… or six. Because Pam's smile is weird. Because she thought Jim was going to propose. Sad. But honestly, at this point I'm more invested in the blooming love that is Michael and Holly. She fills him in on the drama he missed while at the supermarket, and mentions that she could use dessert. She doesn't realize who she's dealing with, as here is a guy who misses all the signals. Kevin offers to go eat pie with her. And, like that, she leaves. But how much fun will next season be with these two? We love Holly!
(Almost done…)
Michael has a security guard escort Toby off of the premises. According the alarm on Toby's new watch, he leaves right on time. He then calls Jan and offers to accompany her to lamaze. You know Jan will freak if anything happens with this new Holly girl. Michael's going to be kind of a daddy. :'(
Phyllis walks in on Dwight and Angela having sex. Good sweet God in Heaven. Amazing!! Also, whyyyyy?
(Longest recap ever? Check. Oh Jesus, I forgot about my thoughts on the episode…)
Thoughts on the episode: Obviously, this was pretty much perfection. This episode actually made me feel all the more self-righteous about my dwindling Office love this season, as it proved to me the show could still be as funny as season's past. They went out on a really high note, with a lot of new plot twists, and even a new really likable character who seems to bring out Michael's most hilarious side. To be honest, Michael and Holly are totally my new JAM. And Jim and Pam? Well, they're kind of like Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt on Mad About You: I'm glad they found each other, but I'm really not that invested anymore. They've gotten a little boring ever since getting together.
So — fantastic episode!! Let's hope this becomes a re-habit for the show.
Now, as usual, quote the episode with reckless abandon in the comments.

My best friend and I chose this place for lunch over another seafood place and we are glad we made the right choice. The billi bi mussel soup was very tasty and the maine lobster sandwich had lots of lump lobster meat. Service was good - attentive but not obtrusive. I won't hesitate to recommend this place.
Posted by DRs. night out on 01/21/2008
Took my friends out on Satuday night to Aquagrill and just had the best time. Service has really improved here. There are pleasant waiters everywhere looking to please even if they haven't been assigned to your table. There were 5 staffers saying Hello when we arrived and several others wishing us a safe trip home when we left. Now to the food........the Cod is killer! Have had this several times prior and it never ceases to amaze. Started with a seafood tower and enjoyed the very fresh shrimp, mussels, periwinkles, oysters,etc. Enjoyed plain grilled barimundi and some delicious sides for the table Just love it here. Nice vibe and a great waitstaff
Posted by SM on 01/05/2008
Aquagrill was fantastic. It's exactly what I wanted in a seafood place .. a place for simple, good seafood. I love it when seafood restaurants serve the food perfectly seasoned, but not so much to take away from the taste of the seafood. The dishes were perfectly balanced. If you're an oyster fan, Aquagrill has a great [select]ion. Our table shared many appetizers and dishes, and everything was delicious. For the food quality and taste, the pricing is very reasonable, although not inexpensive. The service was excellent also. I will definitely return.
Posted by Our favorite Seafood Restaurant on 12/18/2007
Whenever we come back to NY from moving to Florida, we must go to the Aquagrill. The tuna tartare appetizer, scungilli salad and thos eoysters are A+ Anything is great. As for the complaint the person had for $17 for a Martini...Anyone who would complain about this place on the cost of a Martini should stick to Bennigans.
Posted by Anonymous on 11/02/2007
My finace and I stopped in last night for a drink and some food at the bar. The Oysters were great, and the food was good too though a little salty. The only problem with the evening was that when we got the bill my Tanqueray martini was $17!!! Not the way that we wanted to end what otherwise was a good meal.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/28/2007
After our wonderful meal last night, I can't wait to go back! It was perfection in every way. The mussel soup was extraordinary, we both had the cod (which I would order again), and the chocolate walnut cake. I'm not even a dessert lover and this was unbelievable. It was not inexpensive, but worth every penny for a memorable meal!
Posted by foodienyc on 07/28/2007
Wow, this is truly a venerable new york city classic. if you love mushrooms, order the porcini crusted cod...you will not be sorry. this is a must go

Great location, quick service, and tasty rolls! The udon noodle soup is huge, inexpensive, and deliscious!

You wont find this place unless you are looking for it. I was skeptical of "Take-out Sushi", but was won over once i tried it. This place is on par with $100 sushi for less than half price. We gorged on 5 high-end rolls and edamame for $35! The patrons say it all, it was mostly filled with Japanese customers and few business people mixed in. No where to sit is a problem, only 2-3 tables, but if you are willing to bring it home this is well worth it. Regardless of price, this is the best sushi i have had in South Florida.
Posted by Jake on 05/22/2011
Very good sushi and the fairest price! Limited selection but the food is GOOD! It's easy 30-40% less than other quality sushi places! Great deal!

Raise the Jolly Roger's Amateur Draft Luxury Tax!
I asked Frank Coonelly, the Pirates' president, what's in this for them.
He cited a new draft feature that will award six bonus picks — Nos. 31-37 overall — to lower-revenue teams by way of a lottery, as well as a cap on international signings that's staggered in inverse order of the standings. Both will be welcome.
Coonelly also was adamant that baseball wasn't out to get his team.
"Is this everything the Pittsburgh Pirates hoped it would be? No," he said. "But we don't subscribe to the notion it was aimed at us. For one, this has been in the works a long time. For another, at the end of the day, if teams like the Yankees ever wanted to really flex their muscles in the draft, they could do it. This prevents that.

Family-style staff meal a valued perk for restaurants to promote loyalty, shared sense of purpose
As glamorous as eating in a top-notch restaurant can often seem, the effort to create glamour is anything but. Cooks toil over intense heat in slippery, steamy kitchens. Servers glide between the tables, dodging patrons, juggling trays full of food for hours on end.
It's a dynamic, hectic workplace that many owners, especially of higher-quality restaurants, want to make as appetizing for employees as it is for diners.
One beloved employee perk, popular in Europe, has been making inroads into American restaurants.
The staff meal, or "family meal," is a slightly more involved affair than simply offering employees a free lunch. Typically served between the lunch and dinner shifts, the staff meal is a specially prepared off-menu, family-style dinner that provides a needed nutritional boost as well as a moment of relaxation for everyone from chefs to busboys.
Often, the entire staff will eat together at the same tables that will soon be reset for the dinner seating.
While researching her latest book, cookbook author Jody Eddy discovered that at some restaurants the staff meal is a tradition that many cooks take seriously.
"I was really surprised to see how incredible some of the staff meals were," Eddy said. "It was nice to see consistency. For some chefs, it's almost like a challenge: If you can't feed your staff well, how can you say you're doing your best for the public?"
Eddy, along with Christine Carroll, co-authored "Come In, We're Closed: An Invitation to Staff Meals at the World's Best Restaurants" ($35, Running Press) after visiting famous eateries in six different countries. Recipes from 25 notable restaurants made the final cut. Her criteria for inclusion were that meals are free for employees, served daily, and effort is made to get the whole staff to eat together.
Eddy, the former executive editor of Art Culinaire Magazine, uncovered a wide range of delicious family meals, some that have become an integral part of the restaurant's culture.
At Arzak, in Spain's Basque region, a marble table in the corner of the restaurant now seats the fourth generation of a family that grew up in the business. The favorite family meal: paella.
At San Francisco's Slanted Door, the owner's aunt, affectionately known as Mama, has been serving up two Vietnamese meals each day — midmorning and afternoon — to the staff since 1995. A brass bell is rung in the kitchen when the meal is ready.
At Mugaritz, also in Spain, there is a cook station solely dedicated to family meals; every intern who works at the restaurant must rotate through the station under the tutelage of a seasoned chef.
"A lot of cooks take turns making the staff meals at these restaurants," Eddy said. "That can help you get better because there's a lot of pressure on you to impress your colleagues. But it can also be nerve-wracking."
When John Currence, the James Beard Award-winning chef and owner of City Grocery (and other restaurants) in Oxford, got a call from Eddy about staff meals, he admitted that he didn't have one, but was happy to have an excuse to start one.
Soon after, the family meal became a perquisite at his popular restaurant on Oxford Square. Three of his recipes ended up in Eddy's book.
"The staff meal is more about symbolism than anything else," said Currence, who feeds his employees as a group at 5 p.m. "It's about eating together before going into battle."
A different cook each night is assigned to make the meal, and the ingredients usually include food that needs to be cleared out. Stale bread, for example, is put to use in a bananas Foster bread pudding.
As one line cook recently prepared chicken and dumplings — one of Currence's family meal recipes — he proudly exhibited a stock pot full of cockscombs — the rubbery crests of chicken heads that often get discarded after whole chickens are butchered. Once shredded, a cockscomb looks like any other piece of chicken meat.
At City Grocery, a dry erase board lists ingredients that need to move and can be used for the family meal.
Currence said he thought of chicken and dumplings for Eddy's book because "there is something wholesome and soothing about it. It's a very democratic meal."
Eddy and Carroll tested every recipe in the book and tried to make sure that it was an authentic staff meal — that is, that chefs weren't exaggerating the quality of the dish for the publicity.
Using Facebook, Eddy invited friends in the culinary industry to suggest restaurants that had exceptional staff meals. She also heard horror stories.
"There are definitely bad staff meals," she said. "The biggest complaints were over pasta. It's just something that gets tossed together without much thought because it's easy and all too common."
Several Memphis restaurants also provide staff meals, though not quite on the culinary level that Eddy was looking for in her book.
At The Majestic Grille, chef Patrick Reilly offers food for his staff daily at 3 p.m., between shifts.
"It's something I've done from Day 1," Reilly said. "When I worked in New York, we'd even have wine with lunch. It gives us a chance to sit down as a group."
Typical meals include pizzas, burgers, tacos, stuffed poblano peppers, sloppy Joes and, every Sunday, a full Sunday brunch.
Line cook Rickie Jones says he doesn't mind the extra work cooking for his colleagues.
"It's a privilege to cook the family meal," he says. "I've heard that more restaurants are starting to do it, mainly because the word is getting out."
Bartender and manager Mark Akin says that having the midafternoon break is one reason the Majestic has a comparatively low staff turnover.
"It has a calming effect," says Akin, who has been with Majestic for more than four years. "Depending on your shift, it's like a pregame huddle or a postgame decompression. We sit together at a big table, and there's a sense of equality."
Eddy says that restaurants looking to recruit and retain talented staff are beginning to see the free, specially made meal as a way to reward service.
"I'm hoping this book resonates with cooks and restaurant owners," she says. "Bottom line: In terms of creating devotion and loyalty, it's a great concept."
Chicken and Dumplings
Serves 4 to 6.
1 whole 3- to 4-pound chicken
— Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons bacon fat (see note)
2 small yellow onions, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup dry vermouth
— Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped thyme
2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
1 teaspoon finely chopped oregano
2 1/2 quarts chicken stock
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
21/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and diced
1/2 cup whole milk
For the chicken: Cut the chicken into 8 skin-on, bone-in pieces and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Heat half the oil and half the bacon fat in a large pot over medium-high heat until smoking. Add half of the chicken pieces and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Add the remaining oil and fat and, once smoking, brown the remaining chicken pieces, then drain on paper towels.
Add the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic and sauté until the vegetables are barely caramelized and stick slightly to the bottom of the pan, about 6 minutes. Add the wine and vermouth, scrape up the brown bits at the bottom of the pan, then reduce the liquid by half, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, oregano, stock and chicken to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook until the chicken is very tender, about 1 hour, occasionally skimming fat and impurities as they rise to the surface.
Remove the chicken from the liquid; reserving both separately. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin. Strip the meat from the bones and shred it into bite-size pieces. Return it to the pot.
For the dumplings: Combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and butter in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand. (This can also be accomplished by hand with a bench scraper or your fingertips.) Add half of the milk and incorporate quickly. If it does not easily come together into a shaggy ball, add small amounts of milk until it does.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes. (While you don't want to overknead the dough to stave off toughness, the dumplings will fall apart in the broth if not enough gluten is developed.) Let the dough rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to a uniform sheet about 7 inches (18 centimeters) square and ¼ inch (65 millimeters) thick. Using a small, sharp knife, cut the sheet into approximately 25 two-inch squares. The dumplings can be set aside in the refrigerator for up to an hour before poaching.
To serve: Bring the soup to a brisk simmer; add the dumplings carefully to the soup, adding more than one layer if necessary. They will initially sink but begin to expand and rise as they cook. Cover the pot and gently simmer the dumplings until they are tender and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Season the soup with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Note: Three strips of thick-cut bacon yield about 2 tablespoons bacon fat.
Cucumber and Sweet Onion Salad
Serves 4 to 6.
4 medium cucumbers
1 large Vidalia onion, halved and thinly sliced
— Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
Decoratively peel each cucumber, alternating one strip of skin with one strip of peeled flesh. Cut off and discard the ends and cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and thinly slice the cucumbers into half moons. Combine the cucumber and onion slices in a plastic bowl with a tightfitting lid, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegars, oil, sugar and herbes de Provence. Pour the dressing over the cucumbers and onion, season liberally with salt and pepper, mix well, and cover. Refrigerate for 1 hour, frequently turning the bowl upside-down to redistribute the dressingNote: This salad is most refreshing served chilled and tastes great the following day, although it will lose a lot of its crunch.
Bananas Foster Bread Pudding with Brown Sugar-Rum Sauce
Serves 6 to 8.
Bread pudding:
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups (355 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
1 cup (237 milliliters) whole milk
1 3/4 cups (350 grams) granulated sugar
6 ounces (11/2 sticks/170 grams) salted butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons (11 grams) ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) vanilla extract
2 teaspoons (4 grams) freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup (118 milliliters) banana liqueur
10 cups (382 grams) 1-inch (2.5 centimeter) stale bread cubes (see Note)
2 ripe bananas, thinly sliced
4 ounces (1 stick) salted butter
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark rum
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
For the bread pudding: In a large stainless-steel mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the cream, milk, and 1½ cups of the granulated sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves, then add the butter (if your cream and milk are cold, the butter will congeal, but it's nothing to worry about). Add the cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg, then whisk in the liqueur. Set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together the bread cubes and banana slices. Add the custard and mix well with your hands. Pour into a high-sided 11-by-9-inch baking pan, making sure to include all the liquid. (City Grocery uses a squatter, deeper square container and adjusts baking time accordingly.) Cover and place in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 35 minutes; remove the foil. Sprinkle the top of the pudding evenly with the remaining granulated sugar. Bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the pudding has risen high in the middle and on all sides (a sign that the custard has set) and is a crunchy golden brown on top. Allow to set and cool for 20 minutes before serving.
For the sauce: In a small pot over medium heat, melt the butter and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the brown sugar and vanilla until the sugar is dissolved. Stirring continuously, cook for 10 minutes; the mixture will become a deep mahogany color and will begin to resemble wet sand. Add the rum slowly and carefully. The mixture will sputter and seize up, but don't panic, just keep stirring. Cook until the alcohol has burned off, about 5 minutes. Swirl in the cream, return to a simmer, and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it from boiling over. The sauce may seem too thin when it's hot, but it thickens as it cools, so best to cool slightly before serving. It makes about 2½ cups, and extra sauce stores for several days, covered, in the refrigerator.
To serve: Spoon warm pieces of bread pudding into bowls and drizzle each serving with a generous amount of warm sauce.

Product description
A thrilling page-turner of epic proportions, Tom Reiss's panoramic bestseller tells the true story of a Jew who transformed himself into a Muslim prince in Nazi Germany. Lev Nussimbaum escaped the Russian Revolution in a camel caravan and, as "Essad Bey," became a celebrated author with the enduring novel Ali and Nino as well as an adventurer, a real-life Indiana Jones with a fatal secret. Reiss pursued Lev's story across ten countries and found himself caught up in encounters as dramatic and surreal-and sometimes as heartbreaking-as his subject's life.

Review quote
"Spellbinding history . . . part detective yarn, part author biography, part travel saga . . . The Orientalist is completely fascinating." -The Dallas Morning News "Rarely in the literary annals of identity confusion has there been a tale as gripping. . . . A captivating and disquieting parable of the mystery of identity . . . truly page-turning." -The Miami Herald "Sympathetic, elegant, and extraordinarily affecting . . . Reiss's storytelling panache [is] spellbinding." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Thrilling, novelistic and rich with the personal and political madness of early-twentieth-century Europe." -Entertainment Weekly "A brainy, nimble, remarkable book." -Chicago Tribune "A wondrous tale, beautifully told . . . mesmerizing, poignant, and almost incredible. Reiss, caught up in the spell of Essad Bey, has turned around and worked some magic of his own." -The New York Times "For sheer reading pleasure . . . this book cannot be bettered." -The New York Sun
Flap copy
Part history, part cultural biography, and part literary mystery, "The Orientalist traces the life of Lev Nussimbaum, a Jew who transformed himself into a Muslim prince and became a best-selling author in Nazi Germany. Born in 1905 to a wealthy family in the oil-boom city of Baku, at the edge of the czarist empire, Lev escaped the Russian Revolution in a camel caravan. He found refuge in Germany, where, writing under the names Essad Bey and Kurban Said, his remarkable books about Islam, desert adventures, and global revolution, became celebrated across fascist Europe. His enduring masterpiece, "Ali and Nino-a story of love across ethnic and religious boundaries, published on the eve of the Holocaust-is still in print today. But Lev's life grew wilder than his wildest stories. He married an international heiress who had no idea of his true identity-until she divorced him in a tabloid scandal. His closest friend in New York, George Sylvester Viereck-also a friend of both Freud's and Einstein's-was arrested as the leading Nazi agent in the United States. Lev was invited to be Mussolini's official biographer-until the Fascists discovered his "true" identity. Under house arrest in the Amalfi cliff town of Positano, Lev wrote his last book-discovered in a half a dozen notebooks never before read by anyone-helped by a mysterious half-German salon hostess, an Algerian weapons-smuggler, and the poet Ezra Pound. Tom Reiss spent five years tracking down secret police records, love letters, diaries, and the deathbed notebooks. Beginning with a yearlong investigation for "The New Yorker, he pursued Lev's story across ten countries and found himself caught up in encounters as dramatic andsurreal, and sometimes as heartbreaking, as his subject's life. Reiss's quest for the truth buffets him from one weird character to the next: from the last heir of the Ottoman throne to a rock opera-composing baroness in an Austrian castle, to an aging starlet in a Hollywood bungalow full of cats and turtles. As he tracks down the pieces of Lev Nussimbaum's deliberately obscured life, Reiss discovers a series of shadowy worlds-of European pan-Islamists, nihilist assassins, anti-Nazi book smugglers, Baku oil barons, Jewish Orientalists-that have also been forgotten. The result is a thoroughly unexpected picture of the twentieth century-of the origins of our ideas about race and religious self-definition, and of the roots of modern fanaticism and terrorism. Written with grace and infused with wonder, "The Orientalist is an astonishing book.

Ann Arbor — A quick note regarding Michigan's first touchdown in Saturday's 35-21 MSU victory at Michigan Stadium.
U-M quarterback Steven Threet hit U-M running back Brandon Minor in the first quarter for what turned out to be a 19-yard touchdown pass. The referee called the pass incomplete, ruling that Minor was out of bounds.
The play was reviewed and overturned by the referee crew in the press box to make the score 7-7 after U-M connected on the extra point.
According to rule 421b in the NCAA rule book, "a player or an airborne player who touches a pylon is out of bounds."
Therefore, the referee made the correct call on the field, and it shouldn't have been overturned.
After the game, Associated Press reporter Scott Held talked to referee David Witvoet regarding the official ruling:
Here's an official transcript of the conversation between Held and Witvoet, according to Michigan's athletic communications department.
Held: On Michigan's first touchdown can you clarify why that was ruled a touchdown?
Witvoet — "The player caught the ball, the player possessed the ball in the air, hit the pylon, was out of bounds."
Held: Here's the rule … "Based on rule 421b, the player is out of bounds when he catches a pass in the air and touches a pylon first. He's out of bounds.
Held: So he was awarded a touchdown.
Witvoet: "That is correct. That's what happened on the play. The play was, he caught the ball in the air, touched the pylon first, and was out of bounds. It was subsequently ruled a touchdown. That's what happened."
Held: Yet that contradicts the rule.
Witvoet: "I'm telling you, that's what happened on that play. More than that, I can't really tell you anything else. All I can tell you, is that's what happened, and that's what subsequently was ruled."
The press box officiating crew declined comment following the game, deferring all questions to the Big Ten officials.

A farmer has a field which is the shape of a trapezium as
illustrated below. To increase his profits he wishes to grow two
different crops. To do this he would like to divide the field into
two trapeziums each of equal area. How could he do this?
A trapezium is divided into four triangles by its diagonals.
Suppose the two triangles containing the parallel sides have areas
a and b, what is the area of the trapezium?
A small circle in a square in a big circle in a trapezium. Using
the measurements and clue given, find the area of the trapezium.
Rotate a copy of the trapezium about the centre of the longest
side of the blue triangle to make a square. What is the area of the
square? From this formula for the area of this square derive a
formula for the area of the trapezium.
Now write down the area of the trapezium as the sum of the areas
of the three right angled triangles.
Use these results to give a proof of Pythagoras Theorem
explaining each step.
This proof is credited to James A. Garfield (1876) the 20
th President of the United States.

Regions Hospital officials believe a second set of a stillborn baby's remains were in the same basket of linens sent to a laundry service earlier this week by the hospital, the facility reported Friday.
The second remains are of a 19-week-old stillborn, according to Regions officials. The first set of remains discovered were of a 22-week-old stillborn baby.
The remains were found Tuesday by employees at the laundry service in Red Wing, Minn., which is about 45 minutes from the Twin Cities. Regions Hospital is located in St. Paul.
"As we investigated, our records indicated that there should have been another set of remains in the same location," stated Chris Boese, chief nursing officer at Regions.
"We have now ruled out that those remains went to the funeral home or to another location," Boese stated. "A tragic human error was made and we believe both sets of remains were mistaken as empty linens and placed in the laundry at the same time by a hospital worker."
On Wednesday, Boese said during a press conference, "On behalf of Regions Hospital, we are really sorry and saddened that this incident happened."
The 22-week-old baby was born April 4. The hospital has reached out to the family, officials said. Boese declined to give more information about the family, citing federal privacy laws.
It's not unusual to have a stillborn baby in the hospital's morgue for nearly two weeks after birth, Boese said.
The remains had been wrapped in linens in its morgue and were mistaken for laundry that was to be sent out for cleaning, hospital officials said. The service collects laundry from the hospital about twice a day.
Hospital officials planned to interview all staff involved in the incident to determine how this happened, Boese said. Procedures are in place that should've prevented the mistake, according to the hospital. Officials are working to ensure it doesn't happen again, she said.
On Friday, the hospital reported that staff have completed a review of pathology records from the entire last year. All other stillborn remains have been properly accounted for.
Also, the hospital reportedly has improved its identification process that includes a visual identification, enhanced its tracking process and added an additional level of security and supervision to the area.
The facility also is cooperating fully with regulatory inquiries from the Minnesota Department of Health to ensure it never happens again.
The hospital is providing counseling for employees of the linen service, as well as employees at the hospital.
More than 2,500 babies are born at Regions a year, Boese said.
About 20 to 25 are stillborn babies. The hospital's proper procedure when a stillborn baby is born is to work closely with the family to determine how to handle the remains, she said.
The remains then are secured in the hospital's morgue on site. In some cases, the hospital will work with someone in the community to take care of the remains, Boese said.
An Associated Press review of news coverage in recent years found accounts of a dozen similar incidents from 1996 through 2009 at hospitals across North America. In some cases the body went through the wash before it was found. Some cases led to legal action.
The AP search also found several other cases where the remains of stillborn babies were allegedly lost, discarded in the trash, disposed of without the family's knowledge or kept indefinitely.
Read a press release by Regions Hospital on Wednesday about the incident.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

The Celtics took on the Milwaukee Bucks in the Bradley Center in what promised to be a clash of epic proportions – the C's would seize the 1st position in the Atlantic if they won, the Bucks would … climb out of last place in the East. The victor proved to be Milwaukee, denying the Celtics a division lead and leaving the Knicks in their wake as the worst team in the East.
The first quarter began with some leisurely basketball – both teams didn't really play anything that looked like defense, so the points piled up rather quickly. Luckily for us, the Celtics managed to pile them up faster, building as much as a 11 point lead in the quarter and finishing it ahead by 8.
The second quarter proved to be more energetic, especially on the Bucks' part. Antetokounmpo (I wrote this without checking) made a bunch of winning plays, pulling Milwaukee ever-closer. Eventually, the Celtics saw their lead evaporate, then saw the points stack up the wrong way. That happened due to the Bucks shooting crazy good, but then they sort of forgot how to shoot hook shots in the paint. Suddenly, the game was tied again. Then, of course, Brandon Knight caught fire from three, and thus this see-saw quarter ended negatively for the Celts, who went to halftime down 41-47.
The third quarter was pretty disjointed, with a lot of fouls and no team making a legit push. About halfway in, Sullinger made a hard foul to stop a fast break that was inexplicably and stupidly called a flagrant-1 foul. That gave Milwaukee a nice 8 point cushion. The Celtics did respond well, but for every little run the C's made, the Bucks found an answer. Nothing much really changed during the rest of the quarter – the C's were still trailing after three 63-70.
The game got out of the Celtics' hands in the fourth. The Bucks began with a 10-0 run to assume a 17 point lead with 7:23 left. After a timeout, the Celtics returned with more energy, making a spirited run of their own. They brought it relatively close, but every time it seemed they could make it interesting, the Bucks replied with a shot you just shrug about. Green made it intriguing with a long three with a little over a minute left to bring the C's within 7, but it ultimately was not enough as they suffered a loss to the lowly Bucks 85-92.
Let's just get to the bullet points for this one:
- Jared Sullinger started off HOT. Before the first timeout of the game at a little less than 5 left in the 1st quarter, he had 9 points (including one three pointer) and 2 rebounds.
- The Celtics had a strong first quarter, racing out to a 11 point lead at one point and finishing it out 27-19. This is the second straight stellar first quarter they've put together after a series of disasters in that department to start the season.
- Vitor had an effective bunch of minutes in the first, in which he hit a righty hook, a lefty hook, then proceeded to throw down a poster on Zaza Pachulia. The bench went bonkers, but Faverani himself was pretty nonchalant about it. As the big man said himself once, "My job is to make dunk, then get back on defense".
- Keith Bogans entered the game in the second quarter. This is news in itself.
- The Celtics' shooting just became cold in the 2nd. You can't really say that they we shooting bad shots, they just… missed. Stevens wasn't liking what he was seeing, though, so he took a timeout. After that, they went to Bass and Sully. That worked much better, sparking a run to tie the game again.
- Sullinger at the half? 15 points, 7 rebounds.
- Giannis Antetokounmpo was troubling the Celtics all night long. Hustle plays and energy scoring were a consistent problem.
- Speaking of hustle plays, the C's sorely lacked any in the second half. They were getting beat to 50/50 balls and offensive rebounds far too often.
- All game long, the Celtics responded well out of Brad Stevens' timeouts. The most visible case was in the fourth quarter when they went down 17 and looked like they'd roll over and die. Stevens called for a timeout, and the Celts responded with an energetic run.
- OJ Mayo and Brandon Knight ALWAYS found a way to drill a tough shot – mostly threes – in crucial moments. Both had backbreaker shots in the fourth.
- MarShon Brooks got some run in the fourth. Interesting decision by Stevens, giving Brooks key minutes after snubbing him hard for many games before.
- Did I mention Jared Sullinger? The kid was beasting and feasting to the tune of 21 points and 14 rebounds.
- Two other notable stats lines today: Jordan Crawford (18 points, 5 assists) and Jeff Green (18 points, 6 assists).
The Celtics will resume their chase for glory atop the fabled Atlantic Division on Tuesday, when they meet in another tilt with the Milwaukee Bucks – this time in Boston – at 7:30 PM ET.

The head of the Rural Utilities Service says rural America is falling behind the rest of the country.
At the Regions 1 & 4 meeting, RUS Administrator John Padalino outlines the need for rural economic development. (Photo By: Steven Johnson) At the Regions 1 & 4 meeting, RUS Administrator John Padalino outlines the need for rural economic development. (Photo By: Steven Johnson)
And that has to stop, RUS Administrator John Padalino told co-op leaders at the Regions 1 & 4 meeting.
"Rural America is becoming less and less relevant," Padalino said during a Sept. 6 address. "It's our responsibility to see that the cooperative business model is alive and well 75 years from today."
The son of a customs agent, Padalino said he's been aware of the challenges facing rural areas since he grew up in remote locations in Arizona, near the Mexican border.
He said he sees co-ops as important partners in reversing a trend that has seen one in four children in rural American slip below the poverty line.
This fall, the Agriculture Department will finalize an energy-efficiency loan conservation program that will use co-ops as agents to help needy households make efficiency improvement, Padalino said.
Under the program, RUS would lend money to co-ops, who would relend it to members as a way of offsetting the high upfront costs of heat pumps and other upgrades. Loans would be repaid through an add-on to monthly electric bills.
Similar provisions are part of pending farm legislation in the House and Senate, but RUS intends to implement the program within its own authority.
"We can take this on a big scale," said Padalino, who was sworn in as administrator in June.
He also touted growth in crop exports, farmers markets, bio-based fuels and recreational opportunities as a way to revive rural America. USDA initiatives in those areas will help to keep more money in rural communities, Padalino said.
During Padalino's appearance, USDA announced it is pumping nearly $208 million into infrastructure improvements for eight co-ops that serve about 10,000 rural residents.
The loan guarantees will finance about 2,000 miles of new lines and include more than $11 million in smart grid investments.
South Central Power Company, Lancaster, Ohio, is in line for $64 million to build 558 miles of distribution lines and 34 miles of transmission lines, USDA said.
Arrington-based Central Virginia Electric Cooperative will use its $22.1 million loan to construct 327 miles of line and invest more than $1.1 million in smart grid technologies across 14 counties, the department added.
A complete list of recipients can be found on the USDA website.

2010 Business First Corporate Caring Benefactor of the Year
Blue Jackets at School
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for offering this program. It has motivated so many kids to read - kids that wouldn't typically be that motivated to read. Our school has had a lot of fun watching kids' names move up the scoreboard. Since we have a small school (130 students), we combined the whole school for one big bulletin board. We've watched the kids' names moved up and up, and it's great to see that several kids have already read 1000 minutes!!
Thank you again for your efforts to improve literacy. I believe your program greatly motivates students!!
Central College Magnet School
I just wanted to thank you and the Blue Jackets for such a WONDERFUL program in the Book Jackets reading program. I had the opportunity to take several of my students to the All Star Kids Rally last night and it was amazing. They had such a GREAT time and felt very special. They loved meeting Stinger and the players. They took the pennants that they received and got them signed. All of the kids thought it was so cool and wished that they had read more and been able to go. Again thank you for a wonderful evening.
Jackson Intermediate School
Thanks for all of the incentives from the Blue Jackets. The Book Jackets Program is very motivating to the students and increases the amount that they read.
Heritage Middle School
I am an elementary school teacher at Kidder Elementary in Brunswick, Ohio. I printed the Blue Jackets Fitness Challenge student packets and teacher direction of your website at the beginning of the school year and incorporated it into my PE class at the end of September. The challenge went over extremely well with the students...they were very competitive with themselves to do better each time. I stressed the importance of self improvement and not to worry about what the person next to them was doing! They loved the speed run the most and I hung a wall of fame above the gym office door with the fastest female and male in the school. I definitely will be doing the challenge with them each year.
Kidder Elementary
61 Club
I wanted to email you and thank you for having so many wonderful programs for our school age children to be able to be a part of. Myself and other London Teachers have been doing the book jackets program for a few years now. This was the first year that we as a school did the Club 61 Challenge and our students were able to go to last nights game. I have had so much feedback from students as well as parents on the great experience they had with this. We are hoping in the future that more of our students as well as staff get involved with this program. Being a huge Jackets fan it is great to be able to see young fans developing in an educational way! Thank you for giving them the opportunities in each of your programs. We are already very excited for next years programs! If you ever need anything from us please never hesitate to ask!
Alisha Nolan
London Elementary School
Skate Into Scouting
I wanted to share some exciting information with you regarding a national award that the Simon Kenton Council won for the "Skate Into Scouting" program. Each year the National Boy Scouts of America reviews local Council marketing efforts nationwide. Entries are submitted and judged by a group of marketing professionals. See attached. We are listed as one of the nine winners in the overall marketing campaign. There are over 300 Councils nationwide and to be recognized at this level is just awesome. These winning marketing ideas are shared with other Councils as best practices. Thanks for all of your support with this program. None of this would have been possible without your financial support and involvement.
Brian Asbury
Tickets for Charity
Just wanted to drop a quick note to say thanks for letting us use those Blue Jackets tickets. The boys loved it. Their eyes were huge, along with huge smiles. They clapped when the crowd clapped, danced around, and laughed every time a player got checked into the wall. They really like the jumbo-tron when they had the fun features playing and I think their favorite thing was the IGS Energy blimp that flew around and dropped signed items.
Thanks again,
Hats For Heroes Program
The Blue Jackets Hats For Hero's has been a fun, exciting program that has brought joy for our whole family. When you are going through cancer with your child and have siblings, the other child is left behind with all of the hospital visits and illnesses of the child with cancer. When you our part of Hats for Hero's it brings the whole family together in a fun outing and it gives us a moment of togetherness and we can forget for a day the challenges we have to face ahead
Lori (mother of pediatric cancer hero)
Stinger's Bravery Beads
We thank the Blue Jackets for our bravery beads. The beads give the kids something to look forward to. Their faces light up as their nurse hands them each bead that they have earned. Lots of the kids hang them from their IV poles. You can see them when they are roaming the halls on J5, the hemotology/oncology unit at Nationwide Children's Hospital. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO TO HELP OUR KIDS!
Blue Jackets Foundation Family Resource Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital
I am so thankful I don't have to go off campus to use the computer, send a fax or do a load of laundry, its convenient having everything in one place
Joleanna and Nick
Unfortunately we were at Nationwide Children's Hospital today for some testing on our daughter when I discovered the Blue Jackets room. Our daughter is now fourteen and we know a lot about the hospital from her past experience's there. We really just want to commend you for what you have offered to the many people in need of such an ideal setting for both children and adults. The CBJ room is quite a luxury for the many families that pass through those doors every day. We were only in today with out-patient issues but we would have given anything to have had these resources when we were there 24/7 for months on end. You deserve a big THANK YOU for your efforts.
"Carry The Flag"
Pete & Robin
My child is recovering from a difficult surgery at Nationwide Children's Hospital. He is 11 years old and suffers from cerebral palsy. I have been staying with him in the PICU here. I just wanted to say thank you for sponsoring the Blue Jackets room at the hospital. I have been able to communicate with family and colleagues during my stay and it is a nice comfortable escape at times during treatments.
My grandson has been in and out of Nationwide Children's Hospital since he was born with heart problems. Our family has used the Blue Jackets room for the internet, exercise, laundry and just a comfortable place to relax. The staff has been great. On behalf of my family I want to thank the team and the players for sponsoring the room.
Thursday before last, our back yard neighbors took their two-year-old daughter to the pediatrician to treat a sinus infection. The doctor took a quick look at the symptoms and made immediate arrangements for an MRI of her brain at the hospital. She had a brain tumor. By Friday morning, she was in surgery. For the next week, the parents stayed in her room, averaging two hours of sleep apiece. In talking to an emotionally wrung out, exhausted dad on Sunday, he volunteered that, "The Blue Jackets were great. They have a room at Children's for the family. It was a lifesaver; we could wash our clothes, shower and eat and restore ourselves there."
We are very grateful for all the services you provide to family members. Our baby will be in the NICU for a couple months and the FRC makes our visits here at Children's easier and more comfortable.
Thank You! Thank You! We were dealing with so much stress it was so nice to take a warm shower. We were not planning on staying as long as we had to, but we were able to do our laundry to feel fresh and be able to be strong for our son. Thank you Blue Jackets!
Thank you for making this outstanding resource room possible. It has genuinely made it much easier for me to focus on my child while he was having a tumor removed from his brain. As a parent who can be scared about what tomorrow may bring, having someone else there to help tend to the daily needs (and think of the many things I wasn't thinking about when coming here) is a real BLESSING. Thank you for making this room possible and for going beyond to help families like my own. God bless.
It was wonderful to discover I could wash my clothes and so refreshing to take a shower. We came here unexpected and it was phenomenal to have the simple pleasures of life in reach when far from home. I also took advantage of a massage and a hair cut. Thanks very much, I really appreciate it.
The FRC to me is just a wonderful and comforting place to be during such a stressful time. For any parent who has their child in the hospital, this place is comforting. I could relieve stress with massage therapy and doing scrapbooking. I was able to do mine and my baby's laundry. The showers are so convenient. It makes it so much easier to be in the position we were in. Thanks to all of the staff in the FRC! You made my life easier while my baby was hospitalized.
Youth & Amateur Hockey
Thank you for providing grants to local hockey programs. Our hockey association received a grant for goalie equipment. My son was able to use the equipment during his 4 years on the varsity team. Equipment is usually not appreciated until you are watching your child face a hard, fast moving puck. Our family's hockey career started before hockey was popular in Southeastern Ohio or before the Blue Jackets came to town. We did travel hockey for 13 years with Athens Youth Hockey Association. We traveled 30 miles each way to practice twice week and to many miles to think about for away games. Our adventure ended this past year; our team won the State Club Varsity Championship. Thank you again for your efforts and contributions. They do make a difference!
Thank you for the tickets, Rylee is so excited for the game. She went to sled hockey practice tonight and said how exciting is to get out on the ice and play. I never thought that I would see her so excited about a sport again. After being so active in soccer, gymnastics and snow boarding it was hard for her to handle when the doctors told her she would never be able to play contact sports. When she went to the hockey game that night her face totally lit up. We are hoping that we can get her to as many Blue Jackets games as we can. You all definitely have a new fan !!!
We wanted to write a note to show our appreciation for the Association taking the initiative to apply and secure the Columbus Blue Jacket Foundation Grant which provided a goalie coach that has benefited Alex immensely this season.
It is obvious to us that Alex is performing at a higher level this year. We feel that the majority of this improvement must surely be attributed to the Grant that allowed individualized sessions with goalie coach. We can tell from watching Alex that he is addressing scoring situations in a more strategic manner. Alex's self esteem hit an all time high this weekend, with 63 shots on goal with 57 saves during the first game Sunday.
The specialized coaching has helped Alex to have more positive experiences in game situations, in turn, his confidence has grown. Thank you Athens Youth Hockey for continuing to find ways to help our goalies grow and become better players.
