Summer Savings at the Arizona Biltmore Resort, Phoenix
May 17, 2006
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Now's the time to find fantastic savings and oodles of family activities at the "Jewel of the Desert." Situated in the heart of Phoenix on 39 lush acres at the foot of Phoenix Mountain Preserve, the Arizona Biltmore is oft-considered one of the world's finest resorts, with its oasis of swimming pools, gardens and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired architecture. The distinguished clientele--including visiting Presidents and celebrities-- enjoy the resort's spectacular facilities, including eight swimming pools, seven tennis courts, 18-hole putting course, fitness center, and full-service European spa. The neighboring Arizona Biltmore Country Club offers two 18-hole PGA golf courses.
With Summer Specials, villas are a steal starting at $299, and classic rooms from $149. The resort is offering enhanced poolside amenities and a full agenda of activities for the whole family to enjoy: from Dive-In Movies (enjoy popular movies on the big screen while floating in the Paradise Pool, or on the deck with Ben and Jerry's ice cream novelties), to S'mores and Salsa making demonstrations and poolside massage. In the Summertime, enjoy the best of the Biltmore.
Summertime in Prague: the Boscolo Hotel Carlo IV
There's just something about Prague. All that Baroque architecture, artists congregating on Charles Bridge, the old-world charm of the city's squares and streets, buzzing nightlife, and romance oozing from each distinct neighborhood. Prague is magical and alluring. In the middle of it all in the captivating Czech capital, the Boscolo Hotel Carlo IV is a majestic historical masterpiece. It is elegant, refined, and absolutely gorgeous-- definitely the place to stay in the heart of Prague's historical center. Behind the neo-classical facade, the appointments are sophisticated: a melange of wood, fine marble, ornate stuccowork, and exquisite furniture. There's a business center, Cigar Bar, excellent Wellness Center with noteworthy indoor swimming pool (its beautiful mosaic floor is pictured), fine dining, and state-of-the-art technology in all luxurious rooms. What's not to love?

Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas Closes August 15 for Renovations
The Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas offers a heavenly escape surrounded by sparkling turquoise waters and lush tropical forests. From the resort's dazzling white beaches, guests windsurf, parasail, and venture out on scuba diving and snorkeling expeditions. The elegant 152-room resort is about to get even classier, with a new $35 million renovation project. The changes planned include the addition of 24 luxury suites, six spa treatment rooms and a 20,000 sq ft lounge, and overhauls of all three restaurants. The hotel will reopen again on November 1, ready to charm guests for the holiday season. But hurry! There is still some availability for the peak holiday season...
Travel Planning Resources: Florida, Hurricane Season, and Trip Insurance
Last year's hurricane season was shocking in scale and scope. And this year, the storms could escalate in strength. As quoted in Travel Weekly:
"The 2006 season will be an active one, with 17 named storms, of which nine will reach hurricane strength, and of those, five will be between Category 3 and Category 5 storms," said William Gray, head of the Dept. of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University.Hurricane season (at its strongest from August-October) is thus a big deterrent for tourists to South Florida, on both business trips and leisure vacations. As reported today by CNN, meeting planners are reluctant to book their conferences at this time of year, and thus "Visit Florida last year began offering event insurance up to $200,000 to defray marketing and rescheduling costs if there is a hurricane disruption." Similarly, "to sweeten the deal for leisure travelers, several businesses in the area are offering two-for one packages on diving, sailing and spas." Thus, leisure travelers can take advantage of some excellent bargains promoted by the area's luxury hotels. Many resorts offer guarantees, and hurricane protection, so check ahead. Resources: The Monroe County Tourism Development Council has upgraded its Web site with lots of Hurricane info, including health and welfare issues for travelers, the science of hurricanes, tracking maps, and local emergency plans. Key West Magazine has scheduled an important hurricane feature for their June 2006 issue.
Abu Dhabi Announces its Newest Five Star Hotel: the Emirates Pearl
What did I tell you? Abu Dhabi is where it's at. Apparently, the capital of the UAE is aiming for 25,000 hotel rooms by 2015. The latest five-star hotel announcement is the Emirates Pearl, expected to take two years to build and at a cost of $136 million. The coastal hotel's defining feature? A 240 meter high tower (that's 47 storeys) designed by Austria's award-winning architect Dennis Lems:
The tower, which houses 352 spacious rooms and suites and 104 luxuriously furnished apartments all with balconies and Gulf views, sits on a 22 meter high, five-storey podium which features a 20-meter high atrium with five restaurants, service centres, offices, a gym, hair salon, spa, meeting rooms, business centre and shops.
The Emirates Pearl will be constructed with a contemporary twisting glass design. And the hotel's entrance will be marked by a "figurehead sculpture of an Arab hunting scene." How snazzy. And they sure picked a winner of a name for the place.
Surf's Up: Southern California and the Newly Renovated Fairmont Newport Beach
As CNN reports, the legal battle over designation of "Surf City USA" has officially ended, as Huntington Beach edged out rival Santa Cruz with a federal agency's decision "to grant the town exclusive trademark rights." Easy, dudes! Both spots are world-renowned for their awesome waves. But if you're craving the warmer waters, better head south to Huntington Beach. The town's got an easy-going vibe and quiet elegance, and plenty of opportunities to watch the locals ride the waves in surf competitions.
Looking for lux accommodations? Just a short hop from Huntington Beach in the sun-drenched magnificence of the OC, Newport Beach lures with its recently renovated Fairmont Hotel. It's actually in the final stages of the $30 million renovation, which involves the outdoor area, driveway, and landscaping-- all slated for completion by August 31. The rest of the place is dazzling and new, including the heated sky pool and deck which opens any day now. The Fairmont Gold Lounge and Gold Floor guest rooms-- a "hotel within a hotel" with private check-in and complimentary breakfast and evening hors' d'oeuvres-- will be completed at the beginning of June. The new 8,000 sq ft Spa will open in January.
Take advantage of Only One Way Summer Rates. Rooms are a steal starting at $199 a night.

Jeffersons Private Jet Holidays
A recent article in the Times UK focused our attention on Jeffersons Private Jet Holidays:
And since the demise of Concorde, private jet travel has grown apace, and prices have tumbled. The tour operator Jeffersons specialises in holidays by private jet, and four people sharing a plane can have, for example, two nights at the Four Seasons in Milan starting at a little over GBP 2,000pp.
I sampled a Jeffersons trip to Italy last month, and what made it special was not so much the caviar and champagne on board the jet, or the wonderful hotel, Villa Feltrinelli, where we stayed on Lake Garda, but the sheer lack of stress. Stuck in roadworks on the M1? The plane will wait for you. Fancy bringing back two cases of Italian wine? They'll load it on to the jet, and then drive you home with it in a limo.
Sign me up! In its fleet, Jeffersons features the Premier 1, Cessna Citation Excel, and Hawker 125-800, and all jets are outfitted with ample space, luxurious furnishings, chilled champagne, soft drinks, and meals. And with Jeffersons, you'll fly to Europe's most luxurious and exclusive hotels.
Announcing the Villa Olmi Resort in Florence, Italy
As if you needed another reason to go to Florence. The newly-opened Villa Olmi Resort, poised on a six hectare estate just outside the gates of Florence, has been renovated into one of the region's most exclusive and enchanting properties. The park and Italian gardens have been witness to centuries of history, dating back to the Renaissance, and the beautiful Villa still retains original characteristics such as 18th century murals. Villa Olmi is comprised of three main buildings: the Villa, the Country House and the Colonica, now gorgeous hotel facilities. The restoration was a careful and diligent process, managed by the Government Service for Monuments. And the hotel, with its focus on privacy and careful attention to detail, preserves an aura of an 18th century private nobleman's home. The 50 rooms and suites don't skimp on modern conveniences; they're loaded with Wi-Fi, plasma TV screens, DVD players, marble bathrooms with jacuzzis, and individual air-comfort systems in-room.
Destinations: Santa Catalina, the Quick LA Getaway
May 12, 2006
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
A fast ride on a hydrofoil and you feel a million miles away from the big city. The island's landscape could almost be the flower-studded hills of a Mediterranean isle, surrounded by the deep blue of sea and sky. Welcome to Santa Catalina (here feel free to break into song: Twenty- six miles across the sea; Santa Catalina is a-waitin' for me; Santa Catalina, the island of romance, romance, romance.) Even a day-trip from LA can be a rejuvenating escape. Explore the beautiful coast by mountain bike, kayak, or by foot, stroll through the village, or hit the beach and soak up the sun. This month, Islands Magazine features Santa Catalina as one of four American islands to visit this summer.

Incorporated Places are those reported to the Census Bureau as legally in existence as of January 1, 2010, as reported in the latest Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS), under the laws of their respective states. An incorporated place is established to provide governmental functions for a concentration of people as opposed to a minor civil division, which generally is created to provide services or administer an area without regard, necessarily, to population. Places always are within a single state or equivalent entity, but may extend across county and county subdivision boundaries. An incorporated place usually is a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions. For Census Bureau data tabulation and presentation purposes, incorporated places exclude:
Census Designated Places (CDPs) are the statistical counterparts of incorporated places, and are delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located. The boundaries usually are defined in cooperation with local or tribal officials and generally updated prior to each decennial census. These boundaries, which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity boundary, have no legal status, nor do these places have officials elected to serve traditional municipal functions. CDP boundaries may change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. CDPs must be contained within a single state and may not extend into an incorporated place. There are no population size requirements for CDPs.
Hawaii is the only state that has no incorporated places recognized by the Census Bureau. All places shown in decennial census data products for Hawaii are CDPs. By agreement with the state of Hawaii, the Census Bureau does not show data separately for the city of Honolulu, which is coextensive with Honolulu County. In Puerto Rico, which also does not have incorporated places, the Census Bureau recognizes only CDPs and refers to them as comunidades or zonas urbanas. Guam also has only CDPs.
Place Codes are of two types. The five-digit Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) place code is assigned based on alphabetical sequence within a state. If place names are duplicated within a state and they represent distinctly different areas, a separate code is assigned to each place name alphabetically by the primary county in which each place is located, or if both places are in the same county, they are assigned alphabetically by their legal descriptions (for example, "city" before "village"). Places also are assigned an eight-digit National Standard (ANSI) code.
Dependent and Independent Places refers to the relationship of places to the county subdivisions. Depending on the state, incorporated places are either dependent within, or independent of, county subdivisions, or there is a mixture of dependent and independent places in the state and in a county. Dependent places are part of the county subdivision; the county subdivision code of the place is the same as that of the underlying county subdivision(s) but is different from the place code. Independent places are not part of any minor civil division (MCD) and serve as primary county subdivisions. The independent place FIPS code usually is the same as that used for the MCD for the place. The only exception is if the place is independent of the MCDs in a state (Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, North Carolina, and Virginia) in which the FIPS MCD codes are in the 90000 range. Then, the FIPS MCD and FIPS place codes will differ. CDPs always are dependent within county subdivisions and all places are dependent within statistical county subdivisions.
Consolidated City (Balance) Portions refer to the areas of a consolidated city not included in another separately incorporated place. For example, Butte-Silver Bow, MT, is a consolidated city (former Butte city and Silver Bow County) that includes the separately incorporated municipality of Walkerville city. The area of the consolidated city that is not in Walkerville city is assigned to Butte-Silver Bow (balance). The name of the area of a consolidated city not specifically within a separately incorporated place always includes the "(balance)" identifier. Balance portions of consolidated cities are included with other places in Census Bureau products.

Smart, tailored panels combine the softness of curtains with the functionality of blinds, and they work almost anywhere. Their lines are perfect for small windows, in which elaborate treatments might be too busy, and for large ones, in which they can complement a room without overpowering it.
When lowered, the shades fit snugly in a window frame, almost flush against the glass; when raised, their fabric hangs in neat symmetrical folds.
There are three basic styles: classic, casual, and formal. The choice of fabric will influence the final effect (toile, for instance, tends to look more formal than gingham, regardless of the shade's shape). We installed the panels inside window frames; they can also be mounted to the front casing.
You can dress up your shade with stripes or trim, but its beauty lies in its simplicity: a single length of finished cloth fit with a system of cords. Lighting and privacy needs will determine when the shade should be raised or lowered.

Real-Time Scheduling on Heterogenous Multicore ProcessorsCyber-physical Systems , Multicore Processors , Real-Time Scheduling 5 Comments »
By Bjorn Andersson,
Senior Member of the Technical Staff
Research, Technology & System Solutions
Many DoD computing systems—particularly cyber-physical systems—are subject to stringent size, weight, and power requirements. The quantity of sensor readings and functionalities is also increasing, and their associated processing must fulfill real-time requirements. This situation motivates the need for computers with greater processing capacity. For example, to fulfill the requirements of nano-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), developers must choose a computer platform that offers significant processing capacity and use its processing resources to meet its needs for autonomous surveillance missions. This blog post discusses these issues and highlights our research that addresses them.

On My Mind
S and I have been joking/talking about moving there.
And maybe we looked at real estate online.
Just a few.
And maybe we looked online for churches.
And maybe we have no business even thinking about such things.
We just started the new school year. We have a homeschool group here. We have friends and family. Sweetheart will be starting piano lessons (in the opposite direction totally). And S driving that far to get to work doesn't exactly meet our goal of him being home more, you know?
But it sure is nice to think about "one day."

"If somebody else had done that before I did, I would have never been like, 'Oh yeah, I'll take their sloppy seconds.' But I got in there first, so whatever!" A Basement Affair's first-runner-up tells us on her much-discussed tryst with Frank. Below "chatty" Cathy, lives up to her name, dishing the dirt on her portrayal, Frank's bedside manner and her relationship with Kerry.
What did you think about your portrayal?
I actually feel like they did a pretty good job portraying the person that I am. I don't know if you know, but I was on another show before this [I Survived a Japanese Game Show], and I feel like I was very one-dimensional on that show. On this show, I was really hoping they would make me a complete character, and I feel like I did go through this whole transformation on screen. I kind of start off as the aggressive one, always fighting with Frank, but once I get closer to Frank, I soften up. That's typical me. I think it was a good representation of who I am overall. I'm kind of crazy at times, and I do drink a lot, and I am a sexual person.
So you weren't upset that such a big deal was made about the fact that you slept with Frank?
At times I was kind of annoyed by it, but you have to keep things in consideration. I'm a real person. I just kind of put it all out there, and for people who respect that, or tell me that they respect that, I appreciate it. Don't act like you don't do that s*** in your everyday life. People act so holier than thou just because they're not on national television. It got to the point that I didn't even care because at least I was myself. I wasn't trying to play a character to get airtime and s***.
What about the toll it took on your relationship with Kerry? The thing that stuck out was that when you were telling her about it, she looked really upset. But you kept talking.
I have a problem where I say way too much sometimes. I was really, really drunk and I know they didn't really show that, and this s*** was all coming out. I felt that she was more mad at him than she was at me, though. I know on the show it comes across that she's obviously upset at me, but she really was mad at Frank because he was the one lying about it. I never told her, "No this did not happen." It was just sort of assumed that it didn't. Obviously she got over it. If somebody else had done that before I did, I would have never been like, "Oh yeah, I'll take their sloppy seconds." But I got in there first, so whatever!
When it came out and you confirmed it, it seemed like everybody had gotten the idea that it had happened via Melissa. It was weird that such a big deal was made about what everyone already knew.
At first Kerry assumed, "Melissa's full of s***, because if it happened Cathy would tell me. She's my best friend in the house." I think overall, people maybe had it in their heads, but after I made a big deal about being pissed off with Melissa saying s***, I think people were thrown off. People had their assumptions, but ultimately, they were like, "Well, what are we supposed to do about it? We can kick ourselves off the show, or we can stand our ground and not do anything after that."
I talked to Kerry about this, and she said that your relationship today is stronger than ever.
Oh yeah, we're so close. I don't think that just because Frank chose her over me, it doesn't mean we can't be friends. I was actually hoping to be friends with Frank, too. At that moment when I was eliminated it was like, "Oooh, OK. Things are not going to be the way I thought they were going to be." I thought we had become good friends, but then when it came down to elimination time it was like, "Oh wow. I have a feeling that things are not going to be the same anymore. He's going to talk to Kerry and they're not going to want to talk to me anymore, and it's going to be awkward, blah blah blah." I knew I wasn't going to win, though.
Because of the sex?
I really think that it was just that the kind of person Kerry comes across as is this perfect princess. I don't want to say that she wasn't real on the show, but there was a lot that she didn't reveal. I put it all out there. I'm very love-it-or-hate-it/take-it-or-leave-it. Because I expose my flaws, there's a lot more that he could be unsureabout. I will say that what happened between us was the most real thing that happened in the house, because I didn't even go on dates with him but we made time. Every moment we spent together was because we tried.
I know this may venture into overly personal territory, but how was sex with Frank?
Um, it was fun. He's crazy. I have to say, I was definitely amused by the whole "Three minutes later" title on the screen. I got like a zillion questions, "Oh my god, is Frank a one minute man?" No, he's not. He's fun because he's crazy. But I like that.
Your getting extremely drunk was an early highlight of the season.
That was really funny. The bonus clips were way funnier. I was kind of scared for that episode because it was the second one, and my parents were going to see this. There have been quite a few times where I've been carried into the house, or woken up off of the bathroom floor, crawling. I kind of have a reputation for that, so I knew my mom was going to be real angry. But then I was like, "Oh god, wait tilll she sees a few episodes in! The drunken thing is going to be like a walk in the park."
Did you get flack from your parents for your on-screen antics?
My mom wasn't really happy with that, and my dad never really comments on anything. He's just in his own little world. I think a lot of people were like, "Oh my god, that's so f***ing funny, because it's so typical Cathy."
Your dad is obviously a very mysterious figure. Can you shed any light on who he is and what he does, or are you keeping that a secret still?
Well honestly, I'm sure he would be pretty mad at me if I said anything about where he works or anything. But just with this kind of show, I'm sure he wants absolutely nothing to do with it, because it's for VH1, and it's a dating show, and I get drunk and I'm doing all of this crazy s***. And also, I think they're proud of me for going after what I want, but at the same time, on the show I come across as…whatever I come across as. And people don't realize that I am actually really smart. I graduated from college early. I was in all AP classes throughout my whole life, and it's just the way that I come across, I don't throw that in peoples' faces. My parents expected me to have some super great job where I'm making six figures by now, and I'm only 23. They would rather me be pursuing a career rather than this kind of stuff. I'm doing what I want, but they didn't really want to be associated with it.
When you were eliminated, you said that there are so many things I wanted to say to him. Could you think of any other things that you would have wanted to say?
The things I would have said [would probably have been] about how he made me feel. I did start to care about him. I'm not a mushy person, though. I really do think that being on the show actually helped me. I do believe in fate, and I believe that everybody comes into my life for a reason. I don't always figure it out right away, but I figure it out later on. Before our last date, I was in my room, and the only paper I had were my STD awareness facts they gave me at the beginning of the show. I'm writing on it all of the things that I need to touch on the next day when I hang out with him. Like, "Oh, you should pick me for this reason, this reason and this reason." But then I thought, "Why should I even do this? I know he's not going to pick me, it doesn't matter."
How did the show help you?
I really did like Frank. I know a lot of times I come across as insincere because I do have this wall up. And he broke it down and saw a lot more of my personality. Underneath everything, I was just…girly, I guess, and how you get when you like somebody and care about somebody. So I feel like, overall, I always have a problem revealing my sensitive side to people, because I don't want people to think of me as weak. But at the end of it I thought, "That doesn't make me weak, that makes me a f***ing person!" I feel like he definitely did make me feel like I could open up to people and be myself.
Have you talked to Frank since the show?
Yeah. He called me a couple of days after I got home and was like, "Thank you so much for being on the show. I got really, really attached to you and it was a pretty hard decision." And he pretty much said to me, "You know, these things never work out." And I'm like, "Yeah, I knew that!" But at the same time he had a lot of people there who were invested in this. And I really think that he was trying to be as invested as everyone else. He's not a bad person. He's confused, he doesn't know what he wants. But he said, "Oh, I really liked you, blah blah blah." And I pretty much acted like, whatever. I don't know, it did feel a little weird. I wanted to still be friends with him and Kerry, but I just didn't know if it was going to work out. He did text me a few times: "Just saw a preview of the show with us kissing and it made me think of you, haha." I have no romantic interest in him, but I do feel like we can talk and be friendly. And that's how I wanted it. I mean, you spend an entire month with someone, and you become close to them. And I felt like I was losing a friend at the end of that, which is really s***ty, because we were so close. I was on every episode. I was there the whole f***ing time. And it was just over like that. I think that I'm probably someone who would be a better friend to him. He's talked to me about Kerry before, and stuff, but he would still feel uncomfortable if he were in the same room with both of us. Because secretly, he still might be trying to mack it, you know what I mean?
Does he have a shot?
Honestly? If I didn't go through this process with Kerry, and it wasn't like Kerry and I at the end, maybe…not romantically, but physically. Maybe. But at this point, no. Kerry is my really good friend and it's not even worth it to me. I don't want things to be weird with Kerry.

text: WICHITA - Kansas agricultural and ethanol groups are asking U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp to remove his name from a bill that the groups say is detrimental to the industry. The Kansas Association of Ethanol Processors, the Kansas Corn Growers, Kansas Farm Bureau and the Kansas Grain Sorghum Producers Association are among the groups calling for Huelskamp, who represents Kansas' first Congressional District, to stop co-sponsoring a bill that calls for the repeal of the Renewable Fuels Standard, a program that helps, among other things, ethanol producers sell their product. The four groups recently presented Huelskamp a letter asking him to remove his name from the bill. It is not clear whether Huelscamp will personally respond to the letter. According to a news release, the groups were told last week that Huelskamp would not respond. Huelskamp's campaign offered the following e-mail response: "The American Energy Renaissance Act is a broad pro-energy plan that will help create or sustain more than 2 million American jobs, including thousands in Kansas. Here in Kansas, it would help jump start the long-overdue Sunflower coal-fired power plant expansion – a project strongly supported by Congressman Huelskamp and critical to the future of western Kansas. Additionally, it would stop EPA bureaucrats from issuing major regulations without Congressional approval, allow the conclusion of the Keystone Pipeline which is already constructed in Kansas, permit new refineries in Kansas, stop President Obama's radical global warming agenda, and protect Kansas oil and gas producers from DC-based fracking regulations. Lastly, even if the bill was considered in 2014, it would not immediately repeal the Renewable Fuels Mandate which forces all Americans to purchase ethanol. Instead, it would provide a four-year phase-out to allow full discussion of such policy. Millions of American jobs should not be held hostage by this President, nor a special interest."

The history of the University Resources for Latinos (URL), now known as the Latino Resource Center (LRC) at Northern Illinois University traces its origins to 1978. The original Latino house was destroyed to make room for a parking structure. Several years later, upon student insistence, the URL was provided with a new location. In 1992, the URL shared its physical space with the International Student & Faculty Office at the Knetsch House. As the number of Latino student organizations increased, Dr. George Gutierrez, Director of the URL at the time, requested more space to accommodate the student groups. His persistence resulted in the removal of the International Student & Faculty Office leaving the URL with the entire Knetsch House for its Latino students in 1996.
The Knetsch House, however, required immediate repairs. Also, the goal was to combine the URL and Center for Latino and Latin American Studies (CLLAS) offices together under one building to provide more centralized services to Latinos at NIU. Thus, NIU administration proposed remodeling and expanding the house but NIU Latino students and URL staff were eager to have a new facility built. In addition, NIU administration realized that the cost of building a new facility was slightly similar to the cost of remodeling the existing structure. After proposals for remodeling were rejected and with student insistence and persuasion by the URL Director, the NIU administration made the decision to demolish the old Knetsch House and build a new facility in 1997. In the summer of 1999, the new Latino Center building was completed.
Today, the Latino Resource Center is a department in Student Affairs & Enrollment Management and serves as a central resource for Latinos on campus and in the community to assist and encourage them to persist at NIU. The LRC has three primary functions: to recruit Latino students to NIU, to increase the retention rate, and to develop programs that will enhance the Latino students' academic, cultural, and social university experiences. The LRC hosts approximately 19 school site visits each year centered on presenting prospective students with information on different educational resources that the Center and NIU offers. The Center also hosts and cosponsors several educational, cultural, and social events for Latino Heritage Month, collaborating with student organizations and community agencies to implement events. In addition, the Center offers several mentoring programs aimed at assisting Latino students with the transition to university life.
During FY10, the Latino Resource Center hosted and cosponsored several educational, cultural, and social events for Latino Heritage Month held September 15-October 15 during the 2009-2010 year, collaborating with 31 student organizations, community agencies and department units to implement 19 events in the course of one month. A highlight of the month was the lecture from Rigoberta Menchú, the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize winner for her human rights activism in Guatemala.
The LRC hosted eighteen school site visits in FY10 with a total of 885 visitors.The majority of the visitors indicated that they would consider Northern Illinois University as their first college choice. The large number of interested visitors are also reflected in the increasing number of visitors on the LRC website. A total of 20,741 visitors accessed the website in 2009-2010, with visitors viewing information on programs, services, and events.

Local Roundup: Warriors drop first league game
JOE JOHNSON, Dispatch correspondent
The race for the 3-A Carolina regular season title between Chapel Hill and J.F. Webb is all even after the Tigers held on for a 55-52 victory on Friday night.
"I'm proud of the effort, and it ranks right up there with one of the best wins we've had since I've been here," Chapel Hill coach Tod Morgan said.
Chapel Hill (18-4, 7-1) and Webb ( 18-4, 7-1) won their home games in the series, and now each has two remaining league games next week before the conference tournament.
"It was two good teams getting after it," Webb coach Leo Brunelli said. "You have to be ready for a battle every game."
Brian Thornton led the Tigers with 16 points, while Anthony Vanhook chipped in 13 points and grabbed six rebounds.
North Carolina recruit Isaiah Hicks scored 16 to lead Webb, which played its fifth straight road game.
Webb had a chance to tie the game at the final buzzer, but Mitron Terry's desperation 3-pointer from near midcourt sailed long to give Chapel Hill the win. On the Warriors' previous possession, Hicks hit one of Webb's 11 3-pointers in the game to make the score 53-52.
When Chapel Hill got the ball inbounds to Thorton, he was fouled with five seconds remaining. Thornton made a pair of free throws to set the final margin but it gave Webb one final play.
The Warriors again tried to get the ball in Hicks' hands for the final shot, but he had to give it up to Terry with time winding down. Terry barely got his shot off.
"Five seconds isn't a lot of time to do a lot of things," Brunelli said. "We wanted the ball in Isaiah's hands, but you knew that was going to be tough because they run a double-team. Obviously, we didn't get the shot we wanted."
The game was tight throughout, but there only were three lead changes and four ties. Chapel Hill grabbed the lead early in the game and eventually extended it to eight points on two occasions in the second quarter.
Webb fought back with a tremendous third quarter thanks to some terrific outside shooting by Stefan Cates, who made three 3-pointers in the period. Webb also got one from Devonte Williams, who also finished with three 3-pointers in the game.
Webb overcame a 28-24 halftime deficit to take a 39-36 lead going into the final period. Down the stretch, Webb built a 46-42 lead thanks to back-to-back buckets by Hicks.
But from there, Chapel Hill outscored Webb 13-6, taking the lead for good with 2:54 left on a basket in close by Vanhook to make the score 48-46. The Tigers held onto the lead by making 5 of 7 from the line in the final 1:07.
Hayes reaches 1,000 at Trinity
Jessi Hayes' career points tally is up to 1,007 for Crossroads Christian. The senior eclipsed 1,000 Friday with a 16-point performance in the Colts' 43-38 loss at Trinity Academy.
Crossroads will honor Hayes following the varsity girls match Monday against Neuse Christian (4 p.m. tip).
Caroline May had 10 points and nine rebounds for the Colts and Michaela Nicholas added seven points.
Northern edged by Gibbons in overtime
The Northern Vance boys were close again Friday, but couldn't pull out a win in a 51-46 overtime loss to Cardinal Gibbons on Senior Night.
Northern freshman Jeffrey Jones sent the game to overtime on a tip-in with just a few seconds remaining.
Viking coach Wilton Baskett said it was a play worthy of a highlight reel.
Gibbons outscored Northern 8-3 in the extra session to improve its 3-A Carolina Conference record to 5-3. The Vikings are 1-7.
Northern led much of the game, which was tied at halftime.
The Vikings honored Le'Darius Brandon, Montel Clark, Jalen Terry, Jaleel Seward, and Tyrell Williams for Senior Night.
Tavin Moore led the team with 20 points, Seward had 11 and Clark finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
Northern is still in the race for the fourth spot in the conference, and a subsequent playoff berth, with Orange and Southern Vance. The Vikings visit Chapel Hill Tuesday and close the regular season at Orange Friday.
"We're still fighting," said Baskett, "trying to earn some respectability. We just need to win one, winning two would be much nicer."
Lady Vikings fall to Crusaders
The Northern Vance varsity girls fell 70-50 to Cardinal Gibbons on Senior Night.
Gibbons led 24-2 after one quarter and 38-13 at halftime.
The Vikings' seniors are Tanaua White and Jazmine Haywood.
White led the Vikings with 16 points, Kechae Parker had 14 and Haywood finished with 12.
Southern girls win in Hillsborough
Southern Vance bounced back from two consecutive losses with a 45-25 win at Orange Friday.
The Lady Raiders (17-4, 5-3 Carolina Conference) were up 28-14 at halftime.
Breona Jones led Southern with 19 points and six assists. Carslin Talley added nine points.
The Raiders host Cardinal Gibbons for Senior Night on Tuesday.

St. Louis: Violent Crime Down Slightly in City, Even More in County
Categories: News, Violent Crime
In the city, crimes against persons dropped slightly by less than one percent in 2009, with one of the biggest percentage drops reported in the overall homicide rate. As reported in Daily RFT last week, the city reported 143 murders in '09 -- a 15 percent decline from the 167 in 2008. The downturn last year ended a five-year increase in homicides.
Meanwhile, violent crime also dropped in St. Louis County last year. According to figures released today by the county police, crimes against persons in unincorporated areas and those suburbs under county police supervision dropped by 12.3 percent. Homicides in those regions were down 13 percent, from 15 murders in '08 to 13 in '09.
So what accounts for the drop in the overall crime rate -- especially given the sour economy in which conventional wisdom says crime generally increases?
St. Louis chief Dan Isom credits his most-violent-offenders programs that targets gang and repeat criminals. In the county, chief Timothy Fitch credits increased more police on the streets.
Perhaps they're right. Then again, no one has ever come up with the definitive reason why crime rates rise and fall.

Chasing Sunsets
I saw this sunset outside my kitchen window the other night, and as I'm wont to do whenever I see a dramatic sunset in progress, I dropped everything I was doing, grabbed my camera, and ran outside.
Unfortunately, I was making dinner at the time.
"Watch the tenderloin!" I yelled to Marlboro Man. It was in the oven on 475, sizzling and roasting away. There was no room for error.
"Watch the potatoes!" I yelled to my older daughter. They were diced and peeled and bubbling away in a huge pot of boiling water. I didn't want them to get mealy.
"Watch your brothers!" I yelled to my younger daughter. They had on their UFC fighting gear Marlboro Man had gotten them for Christmas. There's no telling what could have gone wrong.
As I swung open our back door and ran out of the house, I heard Marlboro Man ask the girls "Will she…will she be back?"
"We don't know, Daddy," they replied. "We don't know."
The sunset was beautiful at our house, but I couldn't get a clear shot of the sky without barns and trees. So I hopped in my car and sped down the road a mile, across the second cattle guard, where the view is wide and wonderful.
When you live in the country, you can take photos while you're driving.
It's a farm law.
In my mind.
Here's what the view looks like from down the road. No signs of civilization. No indication of the current decade or century. Just the sky and the dark ground below. It's heaven. Sheer heaven. To stand there underneath such an enormous sky full of beauty and wonder and power and hugeness.
It makes one feel very, very small.
But in a good way.
Speaking of feeling very, very small, I've exercised every day since Christmas. For the first four days, it only made me hungrier. Ravenously so. To the point that I started formulating conspiracy theories in my head that involved food companies manufacturing the whole diet-and-exercise crazy for the sole purpose of increasing people's appetites and selling more of their product.
But now my appetite is beginning to decrease, the benefits of daily exercise are starting to kick in, and my conspiracy theories (at least the ones related to food companies manufacturing crazes) are beginning to subside in favor of common sense and basic nutritional and physiological logic. I'm feeling better every day, and I'm seeing fewer and fewer of those big purple men running through the living room at night.
Oh…I've never mentioned the purple men before?
Sorry. Never mind. Forget I said anything.

I have been on the exercise bandwagon, too. There is something about eating your weight in sugar cookies and monkey bread that guilts one to the treadmill. Ha
Chris Sheely On Tuesday, January 3 at 6:45 am
Ree, as much as I love your recipes (and my personal cookbook is full of them) I'm also exercising and counting points. Could you maybe, please, make some point (diet) friendly recipes for us? I've adapted a couple of them myself but perhaps you could create some butter-free? I know, that's a horrible thing to ask for but I need them!! Thanks…and GREAT pictures…love them!

My husband and I work out regularly at our local gym and sometimes he gets into lifting weights big time. It never lasts because once he starts, we can't afford to feed him. He eats non-stop!

I'll start tomorrow, and will feel as good as you do, PW, next week! ; )

Re: exercise bandwagon. Yep. I'm on it. And the eating healthy thing, too. And the kicking the Diet Coke addiction, which may very well kill me, but I'm giving it the good college try. It's time to start taking care of the person who takes care of everyone else, right? Good luck to you, Ree–here's to a whole lot of healthy in 2012!

So glad the diet and exercise are going well. We all need to do that I think. Uh…um….well…how was the tenderloin and the potatoes?
Andrea H Ross On Monday, January 2 at 9:53 am
Great pics! I am a suck for sunsets too!
Also congrats on the workouts!
Amy On Monday, January 2 at 9:57 am
I really enjoy the photo of the sunsets. Do you think you could mention your settings that your camera are on? My family and I own a small ranch in Nebraska and I have just started taking pictures of the cattle, our kids, and the landscapes. You are inspiring lady Ree. Thank you for this website!
Sarah Smith On Monday, January 2 at 10:01 am
It was beautiful in Central Illinois yesterday too!!
Entertaining Women On Monday, January 2 at 10:03 am
I love this. I take pics of Oklahoma sunsets all the time…driving…that law works anyplace within state lines, I think. My daughter, KC Clifford, an Oklahoma singer songwriter, has a new CD that will be released this Spring. One of my favorite songs on the track is called "Red Dirt Roads.". The hook line is, "And you've never seen a sunset til you've seen one from a red dirt road." Your post started my day with a smile. Thanks. Cherry Kay
Debbie T On Monday, January 2 at 10:04 am
There have been several nights of beautiful sunsets in NE OK this week. Thursday while cooking dinner I looked out the kitchen window and wished I was somewhere that I could document it with out the city view in the way. No such luck.
So I did the next best thing. I posted a remark on FB crying about it. You might appreciate the rime……
The sky is blue and the clouds are pink.
And I am stuck at the kitchen sink!
SheilaKay On Monday, January 2 at 11:29 am
You sure gave me a good morning laugh. My window faces west too and I know what will be running through my head this evening!
Debbie T On Monday, January 2 at 1:19 pm
Funny when I go back and read things I notice the mis-spellings. *rhyme* I did get a photo of the sunset the next day. It still had the city view but it was better than being stuck inside!
Mumsy On Monday, January 2 at 2:14 pm
I figured you used rime cause it was a crime that you were stuck at the kitchen sink doing dishes!
Debbie T On Tuesday, January 3 at 9:59 am
OH! Thank you Mumsy! That would make sense to my disjointed brain. BUT I just messed up.
Urban Wife On Monday, January 2 at 10:06 am
Absolutely breathtaking! I can't imagine having such beauty in my own backyard. Y'all are lucky! Good luck with the exercise – it will only get better.
Lana On Monday, January 2 at 10:07 am
I haven't seen a good sunset like this in a long time. Thanks!
Barb in Omaha On Monday, January 2 at 10:07 am
Oh so lovely … we had a very similar sunset in Omaha on Wednesday night … reminded me of those we get when camping/. We are blessed to live in a "pocket" where by simply driving 5-6 blocks to the west we have a small farm and trees from a nursery … and a creek … and a small lake … all overloaded with wildlife and beauty. To find one's place in this huge universe one only need to go into the country, away from concrete and wires, and drink the wonder of the earth.
lpara (Laurie) On Monday, January 2 at 10:11 am
Jen On Monday, January 2 at 10:11 am
Amazing!! I have moments where I want to jump in the 'Burban and chase down the sunset while looking at it longingly through the bare trees in my backyard….then I realize I am in D.C. and I wouldn't make it to the sunset until……..sunrise.
Jessanna On Monday, January 2 at 10:16 am
WOW. Is all I have to say- breath taking. I actually LOVE the silhouette of the farm buildings in contrast with the intensity of that glorious sunset!
CathyT from TX On Monday, January 2 at 10:17 am
Peace L. On Monday, January 2 at 10:17 am
I know the evening sky is pretty here in WI, [well, maybe not right now, when it's just grey winter stuff] but the evening skies in the west are always amazing. Someday, hopefully, I will see what you see. In person. I think it will stop my heart just for a second or two.
Amy On Monday, January 2 at 10:19 am
Beautiful, beautiful photos! Congrats on the exercise…glad the purple men are no longer a threat!
ColleenwithMurals&More On Monday, January 2 at 10:20 am
This post is perfect timing! On New Year's Eve Hubs & I were driving thru the foothills to our friends' house and the sunset was incredibly beautiful.
The perfect opp to mention (again) if I had a DSLR camera I'd pull over and shoot that gorgeous vista. Because my l'il Kodak point'nshoot just doesn't capture landscapes. To which he replied I could switch to manual settings and adjust the settings. Talk about missing the point!
I just kept driving and drinking in the awesomeness.
Lorrie On Monday, January 2 at 10:23 am
What a marvelous sunset! As soon as our trip to the Cotton Bowl is over, I am going to begin my exercise regime. Keep inspiring us!
Valerie Endicott On Monday, January 2 at 10:28 am
Breathtaking….I was right there in the middle of nowhere with ya for just a moment. Good for you and 4 days!! We girls have to support one another as life can suck us back in in a flash and the benefits of feeling good are forgotten!
Robin R On Monday, January 2 at 10:28 am
Beautiful Pictures! Happy 2012!!
Linda On Monday, January 2 at 10:36 am
What a beautiful sunset. Happy New Year!
Charissa On Monday, January 2 at 10:36 am
Love the sunset shots! The colors are amazing! We had a good one last night as my husband and I were walking–super red–but I didn't have my camera with me. Darn! Good job on the exercising too. I hate exercise with a passion, but love food too much to lose weight eating healthier…so the exercise is a necessary evil in my life which I must force myself to do. Thanks for your funny posts.
Nellie Bragg On Monday, January 2 at 10:41 am
Beautiful sunset pictures, Ree! Also, congratulations for that exercise determination! Something for the rest of us to achieve in 2012!
Amy On Monday, January 2 at 10:42 am
That totally makes me feel like breaking out in a rendition of Oklahoma!
"Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain…"
That first picture is what I envision it must be like out there every evening. Lovely. Where I live, we have trees, lots of trees. Which is nice. I like trees. But it would also be nice to be able to get a full sunset view without having to be on top of a mountain or at the coast.
Rose G. On Monday, January 2 at 10:46 am
The beauty of God's creation is endless.
country@heart On Monday, January 2 at 10:48 am
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed a similiar spectacular sunset last evening in north Texas! We weren't cooking tenderloin…just shared a bite at McD's and it was delicious since I didn't have to cook. Happy New Year, looking forward to your next series this month.
LizA. On Monday, January 2 at 10:52 am
Would you share some photog tips for taking good sunset pic? I'm about to set off on a 2 week road trip from the gray pacific northwest to the hopefully more colorful Arizona desert…..
tricia On Monday, January 2 at 10:54 am
Breathtaking picture. It is the beauty of God's creation. How was the dinner?
sonja On Monday, January 2 at 10:57 am
That's so crazy! I did the same thing this past week. I have seen the most gorgeous sunsets here in Utah the past few days. As my camera can prove! And the warmer days have been so nice!
Martha@berrybliz On Monday, January 2 at 10:58 am
Gigs On Monday, January 2 at 11:04 am
Ree I love all of these pictures, but I must say I like the one "cluttered" with buildings best – I think the buildings and trees giveit more interest, showing what beauty is available to us even in "civilization". You live in a truly beautiful part of this world!
Laurie O. - WI On Monday, January 2 at 11:06 am
Beautiful pictures! But how did dinner turn out? Did the rest of the gang come through for you? Dying to know…..
Theresa in Alberta On Monday, January 2 at 11:07 am
Happy New Year to you too eh!
Karen On Monday, January 2 at 11:07 am
Beautiful sunset! You never did mention if dinner survived your little jaunt to follow the sun. Hope it did. I just got back from vacation, and vacation eating, so your reporting that you're really exercising (I wondered, after the donut story) helps remind me that I'm not alone in having to hop back on that treadmill. Thanks, and Happy New Year!
Elizabeth On Monday, January 2 at 11:10 am
Happy New Year – and continued success with your exercise program.
Sandra Licher On Monday, January 2 at 11:14 am
You are SO funny! Finally, someone with a similar crazy, sense of humor….you're my best laugh of the day so far but it's early. Thank you for the beautiful pictures of the sunset. I'm from the Midwest originally and always thought I would like more trees and live in the woods but now I am in Arkansas with so many trees I haven't seen a sunrise or a sunset in years!!!
Thank you for sharing yours. What's that old song…give me land lots of land….don't fence me in….that's my theme song! Moving back North as soon as I sell this house….I may have to eat that Hoppin John every day!!! LOL! Have a great one, Ree!
AmyL On Monday, January 2 at 11:18 am
Spectacular and stunning photos! And nice job on the exercise – I'm jumping back in as soon as the kiddo goes back to school next week. Healthier eating has already begun, thank goodness – and I have great success tracking goals, food & exercise with My Fitness Pal online and with their app on my phone.
Happy New Year!
Marsha in KS On Monday, January 2 at 11:18 am
Beautiful! I think clouds make a sunset. Happy New Year!
misty On Monday, January 2 at 11:20 am
Happy New Year!!
Beautiful sunset pic! I miss Oklahoma sunsets. I have many, many sunset pics that I took as a nature awed kiddo.
Laurel On Monday, January 2 at 11:24 am
I'm a sunRISE chaser! Love your photos. I photograph sunrises all over Oklahoma, mostly on the Route 66 corridor.
The Anecdotal Baby On Monday, January 2 at 11:25 am
Absolutely breathtaking! Makes me long for the days on my own farm. Keep 'em coming, please. And happy New Year!
Aletha On Monday, January 2 at 11:30 am
I love the pictures that you take. I use to live in the country but the town move to me and the farm fields are gone now it is brick and lights so I so enjoy reading and looking st your site. Thank You
Jana On Monday, January 2 at 11:32 am
Great photos and congrats on getting past the people men, but what about the dinner. Did you get back in time as not to ruin dinner?
Plano Mom On Monday, January 2 at 11:32 am
Amen, to every single word.
IndyLindy On Monday, January 2 at 11:32 am
The last photo, with the unobstructed sky is gorgeous, but I actually like the first one, with the silhouettes, just as much, if not more. In any case, it was worth the chase.
Gina On Monday, January 2 at 11:39 am
Gorgeous!I I love what you wrote about 'no indication of the current decade or century'. That's a part of the beauty of it all :o) Happy 2012!
Charmaine On Monday, January 2 at 11:40 am
Gorgeous photo! Happy New Year!
Harpo8 On Monday, January 2 at 11:44 am
Gorgeous photos,the last photo look fake I mean its so crisp and clear. That's a sunset!

Happy New Year out there! Enjoy the bowl games….and the sunset!!!
Kathy k On Monday, January 2 at 12:00 pm
What camera settings did you use? We farm in central Illinois and my sunset shots never turn out as well. Thanks!
Carla Jean On Monday, January 2 at 12:07 pm
Gorgeous!!! I thought I was the only crazy one in the world who would drop everything and run to take pictures of God's handiwork. Thank God for good men who will take over the stove when we are "called" to take the perfect photograph.
SwanCastle On Monday, January 2 at 12:08 pm
lovely! but how was dinner?

I had family from out of town. Put in about 5 different orders. All were unsatisfactory. The Mofongo was made with ripe plantain therefore spoiled the taste. The maduros were cooked in old oil left a dark residue. The steak melanese was very thin the crust was dark and thicker than the steak. The french fries were also fried in old oil my grand daughter was not able to eat them even she knew it was unappetizing. My guest were disappointed and a waste of money.
Posted by Puertorrican Girl on 08/03/2013
La mejor comida puertorriqueña que puedas comer en South Florida. The Best Mofongo and very authentic. Great prices. I love it...
Posted by carmen on 12/11/2012
Whenever I am in the mood for mofongo this is the only place we trust. We have been coming here for 17 years They opened one in Broward but it did not last too long. So we have to drive to Hialeah but it's worth the ride
Posted by BlueSunshine on 04/26/2012
I really loved this place. The food is terrific, the atmosphere is noisy, and the service is great. I will definitely be repeating. The best mofongo in Miami.
Posted by maria on 06/10/2011
the place is always crowded people are always nice and quick food is always good the prices are good. too bad they are so far from me that's what we need up here in broward so we don't have to drive to hiealeah its worth the drive.
Posted by Yolysther on 04/24/2011
Love its here. I have been going to El Rinconcito since I was 14 and I wouldnt change it for the world. Good Puerto Rican food just like abuela makes it.

The Bears hope to get rookie safety Major Wright into the starting lineup this season and now they have a man with ample experience to bring him along.
The team re-acquired veteran Chris Harris, 27, Tuesday when they traded linebacker Jamar Williams to the Panthers for the veteran who figures to step in at strong safety. The goal is to put an end to the safety roller coaster in the Lovie Smith era, the one that has made the quarterback carousel the franchise previously used look like a kiddie ride in comparison.

The dynasty continues – Concordia University, St. Paul (33-4) claimed its NCAA record-tying sixth consecutive Division II Volleyball Championship on Saturday night, defeating Tampa University in an epic five-set thriller (27-29, 17-25, 25-23, 25-23, 16-14) on the campus of West Florida.
The win improves Concordia's NCAA Tournament win streak to 36 consecutive matches, as its all-time NCAA Tournament record improves to 44-4 in 10 appearances. Concordia is now 6-1 in seven trips to the National Championship, all under the direction of head coach Brady Starkey.
The Bears were led by senior Ellie Duffy with 23 kills. Kayla Koenecke also reached double figures, posting 20 kills and 15 digs her 13th double-double of the season. Ashley Murtha led the defense with 18 digs.

Love to have one in Trussville. K Kreme in Roebuck needs some competition.
It's funny all I've heard and read from you bloggers is about being against Jeff Co occupational tax but nothing is said about B'Ham's occupational tax. Speck up I can't hear you.
I lived in CP for thirty-four years while it was unincorporated. Nice's place you'll ever want live to raise a family.But it has gone away from that nice place to a crime infested area. I glad the Sheriff decided to use his deputies to patrol the neighborhoods instead of looking at traffic photos.It was a wasted use of some really good assets. I won't be driving thru or shopping in CP again
Bongo go back to your hole you came out of
What does that say about those who plead guilty? The verdict is another travesty.
We the people,you can't be serious.Just dissolve the county? Thats stupid talk.Get real.
Why is the Judge putting off the decision to let Jeff Co file bankruptcy and whether Young can keep control of the sewer system? He has all the briefs he's ask for.I don't understand his indecisiveness.
Must have decided to keep mine. I'm a retired employee of Jeff Co. Retired in July 2009 haven't received mine yet
Willard ,you are absolutely clueless as why we have a system that has problems. Jeff Co was mandated by the courts to take all of the sewer systems in Jefferson County including the system owned by the city of B'Ham. Over a hundred pump stations the were inoperative or broken.We spent millions (with an m) of dollars trying to upgrade these sewer lines and pump stations just to satisfy the Federal Govn. and we've done a good job regardless of what you naysayers have said.
I'm going to have to blame the judge on this one. The commissioners had no say so on the salary set by the judge.I think the judge was on the side of the bond companies.Just sayin'
The judge who put this guy in charge needs to pull back the reins on the dude and relieve him of some of his authority.This is getting way out of hand now.
I've got a suggestion Blazerman.Don't say something stupid.You don't want to pay your taxes,now youre paying the price for it.
Smitherman is an idiot.He wants the county to go under. He doesn't even suggest any alternatives.
Duk is just being a DUK.
I have a friend that lives on 1st street west Pleasant Grove but haven't been able to contact him or his family. Does anyone know about whether 1st street or surrounding areas was hit ?
Thanks Bill appreciate your service. From a VietNam vet
Crimebos,what is your problem?
TinMan,Crimeboss,get your head out of the sand
Tin Man, I am the elderly.I know of what I speak
This is a sign of the times folks. This kind of behavior is an example of the uncivilized society we've become. Its not going to get any better I'm afraid.

MRA Banquet: A night of excellence and laughter
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 11:55 am
The McNairy Regional Alliance and Economic Development Commission, MRA, are busy planning their annual banquet and awards ceremony to honor the progress and success of area businesses, community leaders and volunteers.
McNairy County has much to celebrate being the state's longest running Three Star Award recipient, 31 consecutive years.
"It has been a slow economy, but there are a lot of positives to celebrate," stated MRA Director of Chamber Programs Russell Ingle. "Many of our businesses, large and small, should be recognized and honored for their progress and efforts to improve our community. In that regard, 2011 was a successful year."
This year's event, which is themed "A Night of Excellence & Laughter", will feature an elegant dinner, awards ceremony and nationally renowned comedian Jeff Allen. State and regional dignitaries have also been invited to take part in the event.
"MRA leadership felt scheduling a comedian would be a little change of pace from years past," stated Ingle. "Jeff Allen will provide a lot of laughs. Celebrating a 'Night of Excellence & Laughter', I think is a perfect way to begin the New Year."
"With broad appeal to cross-generational audiences, Jeff's comedy captures the humor in everyday life," Ingle continued.
"Jeff has performed on every cable comedy network, including Comedy Central, Showtime and HBO. He has starred in projects with Castle Rock Television, First Look Studios and Warner Brothers.
He has performed for General Mills, Sams Club, Presidential Inaugurals, Congressional galas and for US troops on aircraft carriers and battle ships in the Middle East."
The McNairy Regional Alliance Annual Banquet & Awards Ceremony will be held Saturday, Jan. 28 at the Pickwick Inn. Tickets are $30 each or a table of eight for $240. Sponsorship packages are available that feature a wide variety of benefits. Non-members are invited to take part in the event.
This banquet offers a wonderful opportunity to network and honor the contributions of individuals and businesses having a positive impact on our community.
For more information or to make a reservation call McNairy Regional Alliance at (731) 645-6360.

Cooking and Baking
Wanted - Quality Vegetarian Cookbook
I eat meat. But I'm looking for a cookbook to make the vegetable dishes I make even better and to maybe eat a meat free meal or two. I did a search of previous topics but the ones I found were a couple years old. Also I'm NOT going to consider How to Cook Everything Vegetarian. I'm just not a Bitman fan.
Does anyone have any recommendations? What book do you like and MOST important - why do you like it?
