TDC selects director, looks to virtual future
By LEAH STRATMANN
The meeting of the South Walton Tourist Development Council (TDC) began routinely with the approval of minutes and a financial report from Mary Brown indicating that by comparing bed tax revenue from March 2007 to that collected in March 2008 there was an increase of 15 percent. The total collected in March 2008 was $1.2 million.
The TDC board then announced that after a nationwide search for a new executive director, conducted by Performance Management, Inc. with input from the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), TDC board members, Walton County Human Resources and administrative departments, the ideal candidate was already temporarily in the driver's seat.
"It was a great exercise to see the caliber of professionals interested in this position and to learn that the perfect candidate was already at the helm," noted John Gillis, TDC board chairman. Sonny Mares comes to the position with more than 30 years of experience with convention and visitor boards from Milwaukee, Jacksonville, Mobile and Omaha. For the past three years he has served as the director of administration for the TDC.
"I'm delighted and thank you very very much for your confidence," Mares said. A motion was made to accept the recommendation of the committee and take that recommendation to the BCC.
Following Mares' appointment, a presentation was made by Leah Woolford of U.S. Destination Marketing (USDM), which conducted a study of visitors to the Beaches of South Walton Web site. The research reveals that 37 percent of registered Web-users who looked at the Web site were Walton County visitors in the past 12 months spending $83 million.
Woolford said, "We found that 23 percent of visitors decided to actually vacation at the Beaches of South Walton after visiting the Web site. What we are doing is starting to shape the brand in the minds of (Web) visitors," Woolford noted. She said every dollar invested in the creation and maintenance of the Web site yields $538 being spent in Walton County.
In March, a map on the site was launched, and Woolford said more than 48,000 people visited in the first 55 days of the map launch. "Maps are one of the top things people look for," she said.
One of the goals of revamping the Web site is the creation of a new virtual community, with user-generated content on sites like TripAdvisor.com, YouTube and MySpace, where consumers post reviews for Web site browsers to read.
"Online travelers are influenced by traveler-generated reviews. People trust them because they know it is not paid advertising. Over 80 million Americans will read user generated comments in 2008," Woolford said, "even though only about 20 percent of people actually post anything. The posters are very vocal, spreading opinions and have a high rate of converting a friend or family member."
Woolford pointed out the marketing advantages of the Web site as engaging the audience naturally, providing interactive settings for discussion, feedback, and great research data. Further, the site seeks to strengthen the connection between the destination brand and the consumer while building brand loyalty.
"The Beaches of South Walton (BOSW) virtual community is set to launch in June 2008," Woolford said. The site will be free to area businesses where they can monitor customer opinions and be connected to BOSW brand advocates. It will provide a new marketing channel for photos and information appropriate to the community. It will prompt word-of-mouth consumer referrals," she said.
The new virtual community will feature a culinary experience featuring 12 chefs, complete with bios, recipes, and mapping indicating the dining options in BOSW. "We know people are looking for this information," Woolford said, "and the 12 chefs will be selected on a ratings system."
At the conclusion of Woolford's presentation, board member Mike Stange asked what strategy would be used to get this information beyond the TDC conference room.
Mares indicated he has a list of the top 25 bed tax collectors in the county and he will visit with them in the next month. "These 25 represent 90 percent of the bed tax revenue," Mares noted. "We are trying to communicate the value of the Web's ability to reach more people," he said.
"As local people see the community part of this, they will go look and they will realize this is a viable place to put business information." Woolford interjected.
Board member Don McQuade said two strategies were needed to get the word out. "We need one for the big tax collectors and another to get the smaller entities to participate. The smaller entities might want to band together to join in on the Web site," he said.
"We are a billion-dollar industry and half of that money comes through the Web site. We need to be out in front of this explaining the economic impact of this organization. I think we need to be beating this drum over and over and over. This gets people's attention," McQuade asserted.
"I see all of our strategies starting to come together and work together. I couldn't agree more with the value of getting in front of all the organizations in the area," Mares said.
Part of this huge revenue is being directed to Brad Pickel, former TDC director of beach management who lives in North Carolina, and who is enjoying a three-year consultant contract with a retainer of $8,500 per month ($102,000 per year). The contract expires in 2010.
Board member Mary Jo Tommas asked about the status of signs. Mares told her the Timpoochee Trails signs would be going up soon and they are all safety signs. Plans for the other signage is going forward and for the time being the directional signs are still in place.
Under the heading of old business, Tommas asked about people who are not paying bed tax on vacation rentals. Treasurer Brown said the TDC is in the process of working with the tax office to identify the thousands of people who are not paying these taxes on vacation rentals by owner (VRBO).
Stange noted that people renting without charging the tax can undercut others by at least 11 percent. "There are lots of developer units being priced so low you have to wonder if they are paying the taxes. If you can rent beachfront for $124 per night with a $100 gift card thrown in, it is hard for others to compete," he said. "The amount of money uncollected could be staggering. People are getting caught in the crunch. They were listening to the music when things were good, then the music stopped and they had no chair," he said.

All-in-one mixing plugin, provided through electronic delivery.
This is the Toontrack EZmix 2 VSSD, available for electronic delivery.
Toontrack EZmix 2 builds on the idea of the original EZ Mix plugin: having complete effects chains combined into one mixing tool. All of the previous functionality and content from EZmix is still intact and working in EZmix 2. The major difference is that the new and revamped version comes with settings based on high-tech mastering effects, new reverb algorithms, guitar/bass amp and cab simulation, a completely revised interface and a large core content boost.
Employing dozens of separate effects plugins is cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive. The EZmix 2 not only saves time and money, it is considerably less taxing on your computer's CPU. Simply apply the EZmix 2 plugin to each channel that requires processing, and activate and adjust the parameters of the channel strip you wish to engage on each particular track.
EZmix 2 combines a multitude of quality studio effects with the know-how of professional engineers. As soon as you select one of EZmix's pre-designed settings, a complex chain of effect units loads in the background. The signal-chain settings in EZmix 2 and all EZmix Packs were carefully crafted by seasoned mixing engineers. Lend some pro secrets and platinum record magic to your music by letting seasoned veterans do the tweaking for you.
EZmix 2 has a large amount of ready-made settings based on some of the most classic vintage and contemporary guitar and bass amps, speakers and stomp boxes. Whether you are working stand-alone or in a host; plug your instrument straight into your sound card, select a preset, and the sound you are looking for is at your fingertips.
Combing several plugins on multiple channels can slow down even the fastest computer. With EZmix 2 you only use one instance on each channel, thereby reducing your CPU usage to a minimum. With EZmix 2 you can make flawless mixes on low resource systems or in mobile situations.

Recipe by Amy_S
"This is a spicy pork dish with much flavor that goes really well with Mexican fideo (vermicelli pasta) or white rice. Add more or less jalapenos to suit your taste."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons
canola oil
2 pounds
pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 teaspoons
2 teaspoons
ground black pepper
2 large
fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1/4 cup
sliced onion
1 clove
garlic, crushed
1 (6 ounce) can
mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 (12 ounce) can
diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon
ground cumin
This is very similar to the dish we've been making in our family for years, I know ppl hate when otheres do this, but i didnt follow exactly. But then i rarely follow a recipe exactly. THe way i made this is, with the cut pork i placed in a saucepan, slightly covered with water, and simmered with salt until all water evaporated(it makes the pork more tender) Once all evaporated I added veg oil, onion and jalapeno(with seeds cuz we like it hot) and salt pepper, garlic powder, cumin, oregano. let fry until browned, I added 2 small roma tomatoes coarsely chopped and about 1/4 cup of tomato sauce(im sure it would work great with the diced tomatoes like the recipe calls for, I just didnt have any) I let cook until tomatoes were tender, I added about 1/4 -1/2 cup of water, and let simmer together. I didnt add mushrooms because my husband doesnt like them,but it sure sounds good though.
We made this in the crock pot with two cans of tomatoes and jalapenos instead of the fresh jalapenos, and we really like it. We've already made twice, once to eat in tortillas, and once we shredded the meat and used it for chilaquiles. Yum!
37 Ratings
very good dish easy and very tasteful all i done was seeded the jalapenos and i used fire roasted diced tomatoes a keeper
Why would someone leave a review without making the recipe. If the pic is not pleasing...move on. The TASTE was excellent.
Very delicious!
It smelled great as it was cooking and was really easy. Thanks!
I think this one came out great.I left in half the jalapeno seeds and used fire roasted tomatoes and served over rice.it had just the right bite and the taste was wonderful.
This recipe was easy to follow, and the end result quite good. I added a little cornstarch towards the end to thicken the sauce, and we ate it with tortillas...very good!
Years ago I got a very similar recipe from a Mexican lady. She called it Chilosa.This version has no mushrooms, more tomatoes,and is spooned over rice and loaded into unfried corn tortillas for eating. Yummo.

Hello world!
I got started putting this blog together on February 10, 2013. There really isn't a lot here just yet…in fact, the core site itself is still in major shambles while I'm trying to get things arranged and put away. I also have to teach myself how the blogging software operates, so getting this going is going to take a little time. Considering I normally only have a couple hours in the evening to get it done, it might take a while. Please be patient and check back soon to see how things are coming along. (I might actually have something worth checking out…but then again, who knows?)
I like just about anything automotive-related, and I'm currently working on two different vehicle restorations. Somewhere on here I'll have a complete progress reports on both…my '67 Olds 442 and my '67 Ford F100 pickup.

Barnes & Noble plans to close about twenty retail stores a year over the next ten years, the company's retail CEO Marshall Klipper told the Wall Street Journal. Today, there are 689 Barnes & Noble stores nationwide, plus 674 college stores.
The WSJ notes that "the chain shut an average of about 15 stores a year in the past decade, but until 2009 it also was opening 30 or more a year," with a peak of 726 stores in 2008. Klipper may have chosen to talk to the WSJ to show investors that the company has a plan. He said that fewer than 20 of the chain's retail stores are unprofitable.
Barnes & Noble is threatened by the shift to online book shopping at Amazon. The company has rolled out a host of Nook e-readers and tablets that face stiff competition in a market dominated by Kindle e-readers and saturated with cheap tablets from Amazon, Google, Apple and others. Barnes & Noble just delivered a terrible holiday earnings report, showing Nook, BN.com and retail sales all down, with a particularly large decline in Nook device sales. The company plans to spin off the Nook and college stores into a separate unit called Nook Media, with Microsoft and Pearson both holding stakes.
When Borders, then the nation's second-largest bookstore chain, went bankrupt and liquidated all its stores in 2011, it seemed as if it could be good news for Barnes & Noble, which would have a chance to grab former Borders customers. But it appears that former Borders customers largely switched their book buying over to Amazon.

BEAUMONT - Jeandre Hoogenboezem earned his second singles victory in as many weeks on Tuesday, but unfortunately for the Lamar men's tennis team, he would be the only Cardinal in the victory column as the team fell 6-1 to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in Southland Conference showdown at Thompson Family Tennis Center.
Hoogenboezem, a freshman out of South Africa, won 6-2, 6-3 over Guillaume Rauseo at No. 5 singles, marking his fourth victory of the 2014 season.
In other singles action, Nikita Lis fell 6-4, 6-1 to Peter Nagy at the top spot, and Ricardo Mayagoitia picked up a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Juuso Laitinen at No. 2. Javier Pujol beat Carl-Philip Lindqvist 6-0, 6-3 at the third position, and Mikko Rajamaki dropped a 6-2, 6-3 affair to Matt Westmoreland on line four.
Trey Crysel, who was playing singles for the first time since February, fell 6-2, 6-0 to Paul Cook.
In doubles, Westmoreland and Cook handed Hoogenboezem and Laitinen an 8-5 loss, and the tandem of Crysel and Lindqvist lost 8-1 to Pujol and Mayagoitia.
The Cards will return to action on Friday with a trip to New Orleans before returning home to take on Abilene Christian in the last home match of the season.

Teach, Breathe, Learn: Mindfulness In and Out of the Classroom
In Teach, Breathe, Learn, Meena Srinivasan highlights how mindfulness can be an effective tool in the classroom. What makes this book truly unique is her perspective as a classroom teacher, wrestling daily with the conditions about which she writes.
"Teach, Breathe, Learn provides accessible, practical application of mindfulness to overcome challenges faced during the school day." Testimonials from students and colleagues are woven throughout the book. Teach, Breathe, Learn is designed for educators at all levels, parents interested in sharing mindfulness with their children, and anyone curious about how to cultivate their own mindfulness practice and eventually teach mindfulness to others.
Part 1 helps teachers develop compassion and shift from "reacting" to "responding" to demands.
Part 2 offers techniques for cultivating loving-kindness, gratitude and seeing students, colleagues, and parents as oneself.
The last section of the book introduces a curriculum teachers can use to incorporate mindfulness into their classroom, replete with lesson plans, handouts, and homework assignments.

Neal Auction is preparing for their annual Louisiana Purchase sale this weekend which includes a full representation of styles from the early 19th Century through the early 20th.
One of the more interesting items is a Gothic Carved Rosewood Center Table, c. 1845, after a design by Alexander Jackson Davis with original hexagonal white marble top. One can spot a glimpse of the table design in Alexander Jackson Downing's influential "Architecture of Country Houses" in figure 179. Once can also see an image of a related but less decorative table in "The Gothic Revival Style in America, 1830-1870". Neal is expecting a range of $25,000-$30,000 for the table.
Another key item at the sale is a Rosewood Rococo Revival half-tester bed made by Prudent Mallard. I would say this is one of the more heavily carved beds I've seen attributed to Mallard and it is interesting to see the creeping-in of Renaissance Revival elements, especially the cartouches in the footboard. Neal Auction is expecting a $35,000-$50,000 final sale on this bed.
There is also a rare George Hunzinger daybed with its original patented woven wire webbing. Expected range for this item is $6,000-$8,000.
Here's a small smattering of 19th Century lots that will be in this sale and more information is available at the Neal auction website.

Epileptic Man Mistaken for Drug Abuser Beaten by Indianapolis Police, Lawsuit Claims
Posted By Adan On February 9, 2013 @ 11:06 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Police State,Tile | Comments Disabled

February 9, 2013
A seizure patient has filed a lawsuit against the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, claiming officers beat and arrested him after mistaking his symptoms for being high on drugs.
In his federal civil rights lawsuit, Randy Lynn of Indianapolis claims he suffered an epileptic seizure after shoveling snow from a sidewalk in the 2500 block of West Washington Street on Feb. 2, 2011. He fell to the ground and suffered a bloody nose, prompting paramedics to be called.
When IMPD officers arrived, Lynn's lawsuit claims officers immediately assumed that he was intoxicated.
He accuses Officer Timothy Huddleston of forcing him back to the ground during a struggle, and then Officer Nathan Challis is accused of using a Taser to jolt him three times during his arrest.

Is there an app to reorder file names?
Hi, relatively new Mac user here.
I have lots of e-book files which I would like to have in some semblance of order.
Does anyone know of an app that could look at a file name and switch the first and last name around?
ie it will look at a file name called Bob Smith and change it to Smith Bob.
I have quite a lot of files to tidy up and didn't fancy doing it manually.
Many thanks for any suggestions or help!
Have a good weekend.
There a quite a few preset AppleScripts available and there are some already in Tiger and Leopard - google them and have a play. Dont forget if they are already in columns you can click on column header to select that one and use it for sorting.
I've recently learned to write applescripts, and I would be happy to write you a quick script that would automate that for you. It would provide good practice for me.
A couple of questions first:
1. Are all of the files in the same directory?
2. if so do you wish to process all files in the directory or just certain ones?
3. Do all the files names follow the same specific format and what is that format? (example: firstName lastName.ext)

Boat trip! If The Love Boat taught us anything, it's that so much can happen on one little cruise.
This week's episode of The T.O. Show is best recapped with pictures of Kita's many facial expressions and her quotes. Because there were a lot of priceless faces and one-liners on this ship, leading to a priceless moment between Kita and Joe.
T.O. surprises Mo and Kita with a trip to thank them for all their hard work (i.e. the pee-disposing, and getting him acting gigs with Stacey Dash). "This is the first time we've all taken a trip together, and it might be the last," Kita says. Kita has no idea that the trip is going to be a cruise though, and T.O. explains "If there's one thing that Kita hates, it's boats and water."
Dun dun dunnnnn!
"I don't do water. I'm a black girl, I don't swim, I don't want to get my hair wet. I should have known," Kita says, and then goes through a series of emotions from her first fearful realization that boats are involved
to denial that this is really happening
to begging for a non-water-based vacation
to ohhh Lord, please help me get through this.
Once on board, she forgoes fashion for safety by refusing to take off her life vest.
Boyfriend Joe shows some solidarity (or is he making fun?) by rocking the life preserver too. "We're in this together," Joe says. Foreshadowing??
Later, there's some gratuitous T.O. Euro-Speedo-type action on the beach.
("They're not Euro, they're a no-no." -Kita)
But it doesn't last long, because there are dolphins to be swum with. Swam with? Whatever. Flipper don't care how you say it.
"I don't know why I didn't realize that swimming with dolphins meant I actually had to get in the water with them," Kita says, displaying a lack of understanding for swimming and sea creatures, and making it even worse when she puts a Target bag on her head to act as a bathing cap.
If there's one thing dolphins in captivity hate (more than the movie The Cove, that is), it's floating plastic Target bags that fall off people's heads. At first it seemed like Kita was the only one we had to worry about during the swimming adventure, because she was certainly terrified after Terrell threw her in
but Mo was also not happy to have "fish juice" (a.k.a. sea water) splashed in her face.
Of course the biggest moment of all though was yet to come. During Kita's birthday dinner on board the ship, big things were afoot.
Like when Joe gave her a pair of shoes to throw people off the scent of what he was REALLY about to give her. A ring.
I know you can't see it, but this ring was rotating. That was one fancy box.
The proposal shocked Mo.
And T.O. looked giddy as Joe popped the question (that is, when he wasn't falling out of his chair).
But no one was more surprised than Kita, who said yes.
But Mo sensed some sadness in him after Kita and Joe went back to celebrate in their tiny cabin.
Now that Kita's done gone and gotten herself engaged, T.O. admits he is a little upset. "It just hit me," he says. "Now I'm gonna be all alone." And if that wasn't heart-wrenching enough, of course we have to fade out on a bittersweet montage of T.O. and Kita and all the moments they've had which make it seem like they really did share an unrequited love. I don't know how to feel about any of this now! And with only one episode left this season, I feel like I'm not going to know how to feel for a while.

The lunch choice is a boxy-looking diner on the main drag. Though he has handicap license plates, he doesn't use the allotted parking space. "You haven't discovered Breese until you've had a Wallyburger and a Ski," says John. A visit to Wally's L-shaped lunch counter with its 10-stools is the Clinton County experience. Taking his seat on the short leg of the L, John orders a cheeseburger and fries and a large Ski. At Wally's, the fries are served as hot as a radiator cap on an overheated car, and when the food comes, the waitress says what she always says: "Watch those fries -- they're really hot."
John, perched on a stool, has his left leg up on the counter. He holds the fat Wallyburger, dripping grease, between his second toe and big toe (which is very nearly like an opposable thumb), and, leaning close to the plate, he chows down. When he wants a hit of Ski, he leans over to the glass and sips from a straw. To the diners on the long leg of the L, John might as well be a contortionist, and they steal surreptitious glances.
When John travels beyond Breese, as he often does, he must deal with the brazen stares of strangers. He's grown immune to the gawking by now. On the other hand -- or foot -- the folks in Breese see him as one of their own. "Everyone in town either knows John or knows of him," says John's brother Ron Jr., 27. "Sometimes I think the entire town almost feels like they have some ownership in him. I mean, we were sitting in Wally's one time and this guy, a total stranger, bought John's lunch. I didn't know him, John didn't know him. He just bought lunch because John was sitting there eating a burger with his toes."
"I don't care who you are, everybody is curious," John says on the drive back to his place. "Even I, as a disabled person, I get curious when I see other disabled people and wonder, 'How do they do they do that?' It's never gonna change. It doesn't mean that people shouldn't be sensitive, but the fact is, a lot of people do not know how to deal with someone with a disability. It's probably the No. 1 question I get in my presentations: 'When I'm in a mall or an airport and I see a disabled person struggling and I feel like I want to help, what do I do?' My response is 'If you feel inclined to help people, you should offer to help. If the disabled person doesn't accept your help, don't take that personally. They just want their independence, and maybe they're trying to show to themselves that they can do something.'
"What I fear is happening in our society is, we've become hypersensitive around the disabled person. It's the proverbial elephant in the living room. When people are confronted by a glaring disability, they often try to ignore it for fear of offending the individual. I think that only reinforces stereotypes, because you're not acknowledging the individual or his disability. I truly believe that prejudice, whether it's about race or disability, is rooted in ignorance, and the only way you bust through that is by talking about it, letting people ask questions."
Kids in Breese learn to play baseball before they can tie their shoes. For inspiration, all they need is to look southward, toward nearby Germantown, the home of Red Schoendienst, and to New Athens on the Kaskaskia River, one of several area burgs to lay claim on Whitey Herzog. Growing up, John romped with his seven brothers. But as the tribe, along with neighbor kids, formed sides for rough-and-tumble games, John usually sat on the sidelines.
"There were times we played kickball and whatnot, and he wasn't able to play, and he'd jump on the trampoline and watch us," says Ron Jr. "But there were other times, too, when we tried to include him in what we were doing -- and even if we didn't come out and ask, he had a way of talking us into doing things. He was a good salesman at a young age."
John's presence at the St. Dominic grade school caused a bit of a stir, but not for long. Says Ron Jr., "I remember times when kids would make fun of him and then us brothers, we would either pound the kid who made fun of him or threaten him. And that's the way it was: Kids knew you don't make fun of John Foppe, because his brothers will come and beat the crap out of you. But," he adds quickly, "there wasn't too much of that. Most of the time, it was the opposite. His classmates accommodated him and made him feel welcome and did everything they could to involve him."
The boys had a treehouse, a space of their own, where they could steal away from the serious realm of adults. "It was the only handicapped-access treehouse in Breese," says Ron Jr. with a laugh. "Dad carpeted the ladder so John could use his chin to climb up. It had a fire pole that came from a firehouse in St. Louis, and he'd slide down that too, using his legs and chin." That treehouse became John's sanctum sanctorum, a combination philosopher's aerie and artist's garret, where he could pursue his predilections for reading and drawing.

Yes, but all consoles have garbage titles, if you look at the ratio of games that make a "top list" as opposed to the games that come out for the system, the ratio is incredible for *any* system. Its like here's 5 garbage bags.... 4 out of 5 times when you reach in, you're grabbing a steaming pile.

The Centreville girls soccer team's improbable tear through the postseason came to a heartbreaking end on Sunday at Robinson, where the Wildcats fell to Battlefield 0-0 (4-3) in penalty kicks in the 6A state championship.
Centreville's matchup with Battlefield set up a rematch of the previous week's 6A North Region championship, which saw the Bobcats come away with a 2-0 victory to earn their fourth straight region title. Battlefield again unleashed a firestorm on the Centreville net with 27 shots on frame Sunday, but junior goalkeeper Noelle Brown (14 saves) anchored a back line that refused to surrender a goal through 110 minutes of regulation and overtime.
Battlefield connected on its final four penalty kicks to seal the win, escaping with a narrow Centreville miss off the post on the final attempt. The victory completed the Bobcats' undefeated season (21-0) and handed them their first state title.
Centreville did well to reach Sunday's final after facing Cosby in Saturday's state semifinal, another undefeated squad looking ahead to a championship battle between two unbeaten juggernauts. The upstart Wildcats (9-10) thwarted those ambitions with a 2-1 win that shocked everyone on hand.
Senior forward Jenna Green put Centreville on the board first with a goal in the 15th minute, then found herself in scoring position again with her team clinging to a 1-0 lead with under 10 minutes to play. Green collected a bouncing ball off a free kick and hammered a low shot inside the far post to effectively book her team's spot in the final.
"I wasn't really thinking on that one," Green said. "It just went in, and thank God because this is the end of my soccer career, and I wanted to do something and for people to remember this team, so I'm glad we're advancing through states."
Sunday's finish wasn't exactly the storybook ending the Wildcats had in mind, but they can at least look back on a run that took them from a 4-7 regular season to a spot in the ultimate game.
"A lot of it was at the beginning we didn't really play as a team," Green said. "We didn't have a lot of chemistry; we have a lot of young players, a lot of freshmen. As the season went on, we started clicking. It's amazing. I love playing with all of them. We all love playing together, and that's the difference."

Chris Leben Thinks Diego Sanchez Has Had Too Much Greg Jackson | UFC NEWS
Diego Sanchez made his return to lightweight last weekend with a disappointing performance and split decision win over Takanori Gomi. In the fight, he was certainly not the Diego we've all come to enjoy watching. After winning three consecutive Fight Of The Night honors, Diego's ultra-aggressive style seemed to be missing.
UFC middleweight veteran Chris Leben took to Twitter to blame Diego's performance on his training with Greg Jackson. He tweeted to Diego: "what happened? You used to move straight forward and crush guys. Too much Greg Jackson i think". Clearly, Leben believes that training with Greg Jackson has had a negative effect on the fighting abilities of Diego Sanchez.
However, this is not Diego's first fight as a member of Jackson's camp. In fact, Jackson cornered him for his previous three FOTN efforts. Therefore, it doesn't make much sense that Chris Leben would criticize Jackson's training methods.
What do you think BJ Penn fans? Do you agree that Jackson is to blame?
0 Responses to "Chris Leben Thinks Diego Sanchez Has Had Too Much Greg Jackson | UFC NEWS"
I think it's still Jackson to blame. Diego prob just didn't listen completely before. But Jackson does take away from ultimate fighting with his safe boring style. If you want to be safe then don't fight!
Would you say Jones is a boring safe fighter? He is taught and fights with Jackson tactics!
hell yes!
I think Leben is right. Jackson is all about points now. He's all about playing it safe just to win. The fighter would have to be extra special just to make Greg Jackson look good.
Also, when he's cornering someone, all he tells you to do is breathe, "give me 3 deep breaths… good… good… *(so-so)* do you have anything to add?" I don't know what happened but I think even Greg Jackson has had too much Greg Jackson.
LMAO…coming from a guy that has lost 3 of 4 of his last fights!!
The fact taht GJ was cornering Diego makes his post even less relevant than he is…
IMHO…most of the GJ bashing is still based on hatred for a few of his fighters (cough…gsp…cough) and not on reality.
Jackson has some pretty exciting fighters too.
…i meant the Jackson was cornering sanchez for his previous 'exciting' fights makes the comment ridiculous.
if you do a little research into GJ's camp they have won a lot of FOTN bonus's, KO of the night and have several current and past champs (exciting ones likes JBJ for example) in their stable.
I agree, Jackson, Firas and WinkleJohn are the top of the food chain. You might not like GSP, but that dude beats the shit out of everybody!!
i 100 ONE HUNDRED % AGREE.
I would agree with Jackson that he needs to mature a bit and pick SOME of his shots…but not the whole fight. He still needs to be himself and come in for the kill. That's what made Diego so exciting to watch.
I just wish Dana and UFC would ban Greg Jackson from cageside as all he does is intentionally scream lies and bullshit and exaggerate ever single move by his fighters by screaming in the judges wars NONSTOP throughout the fight which is total BULLSH'T and shows how much of a TRUE scumbag greg jackson really is and the lengths that man will go to sway the judges decisions. Greg Jackson needs to be run out of MMA

Brunswick schools add teachers, restore jobs
BRUNSWICK — When local schools open, parents and students will be greeted by about two dozen new faces, and a few familiar ones in different roles.
Greg Bartlett, assistant superintendent of schools, said this is the first time in several years the School Department has seen such a large influx of new hires, especially teachers.
"The last four or five years, we had budget cuts, so we were reducing positions," Bartlett said. "This is the first year in five years where our budget passed and we were able to add a few positions we weren't able to in the past."
While about 16 teachers have been hired to replace those who either resigned, retired or transferred, two others have been hired to take behavior interventionist roles that were recently reinstated by the School Board.
Paul Perzanoski, superintendent of schools, said the the board agreed to reinstate the two positions this summer because behavioral problems for students didn't go away when the positions were eliminated due to budget cuts in 2010.
"What we found is the need never went away, but increased," said Perzanoski, who previously worked at a day treatment for adolescents, a psychiatric hospital, and as a director of special education services in another school system.
He said the behavior interventionists will be focused on younger students at Harriet Beecher Stowe and Coffin elementary schools. The two staff members will be complimented by the work of the department's school psychologists.
"There are some kids who are not ready for school or have a mental health issue when they come to us," Perzanoski said. "So it's important for our staff to be ready to deal with the ramifications of mental, social or emotional difficulties."
On the administrative side of staff changes, Brunswick High School's leadership will look slightly different than it did last spring and will likely change again by the end of the year.
After high school Principal Art Abelmann abruptly resigned in May, Assistant Principal Donna Borowick agreed to delay her retirement and become interim principal for the rest of the calendar year.
Borowick said this September will mark her 25th year with the School Department, while having worked in education for about four decades.
"It feels funny because it's the second time I've reached the final stretch," she said. "I have enjoyed my years in Brunswick and will miss it when I leave, but I think it's time to move on and do some other things."
The interim principal will be joined by former technology educator Tim Gagnon, the high school's new assistant principal.
Borowick said out of the many opportunities the School Department granted her, the one that excited her the most professionally was the establishment of the high school's academy for at-risk ninth- and 10th-grade students.
Entering its fifth year, she said, the academy is coming off the success of graduating 29 of the academy's first 36 students.
"We've had a number of the graduates go on to college," Borowick said.
She said the academy is structured to give at-risk students a learning environment that provides more flexibility and mentor-like relationships, though the program's subject matter is largely the same as mainstream classes.
"We've put together some programs where classes are shorter in length, teachers are focused on them and the parents are invovled quite a bit," Borowick said.
In the meantime, the School Department has stopped accepting applications for a permanent principal position and will begin the interview process soon.
Perzanoski said an interview committee comprised of School Board members, school staff and citizens will factor in a community survey published on the School Department's website when considering potential candidates.
The superintendent said he expects the process to conclude with the possible hiring of a new, full-time principal by November.

The technology legacy of Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple
- By Sebastian Anthony on August 25, 2011 at 10:02 am
- Comment
Apple Computer Inc.
Long, long before it was the powerhouse that it is today, Apple Computer (as it was known then) was a personal computer company founded by Steve Jobs and Steve "The Woz" Wozniak in 1976. Wozniak had just designed and created the Apple I, and his friend Jobs had the idea of selling it. It sold for $666.66, and Woz only produced 200 units in total — but it was a commercial success, and the proceeds allowed Wozniak to work on the Apple II, which was released in 1977.
Jobs was instrumental to the commercial success of the Apple II, and millions of them would be sold well into the 80s. Along with the IIe and IIgs, the Apple II series really popularized the concept of a home computer, and laid the groundwork for the IBM Personal Computer's success in 1981 and beyond.
We would have to wait a few years for Jobs' first attempt at designing a computer, however…
Trivia: Why is Apple called Apple? Because, Jobs had once worked at an apple farm in Oregon — but more importantly, so the legend goes, the company to beat at the time was Atari… and Apple was alphabetically ahead.

Scientific leaders strongly disagree with EU's proposed approach to regulate endocrine active substances
Criticism of the EU's proposed approach to regulating endocrine active substances reached new heights this summer when senior scientists — editors of 14 leading toxicology and pharmacology journals — emphasized the European Commission's approach is being driven by unscientific precaution, "defying common sense [and] well-established science and risk assessment principles." Read the jointly authored editorial [...]
Rising tide of natural gas boosts chemical exports and cargo transport industry

Could waste-to-energy become our country's cleanest source of electricity?
A former top science advisor thinks it can. For the last 28 years, a waste-to-energy facility in Alexandria, Virginia, has processed trash from the surrounding community.

About the philosophy department
Seeking answers, enjoying the questions
The human experience throws some pretty tough questions our way. In the philosophy department at Calvin, we don't shy away from these questions, but draw on our historic Christian faith as we explore them and look for answers.
We are not alone in our seeking: throughout history, great philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Kant, and Kierkegaard have wrestled with the most important questions that the human mind is capable of asking.
In philosophy classes, we study that tradition of strenuous, systematic thought, lay hold of its insights and grapple with its conclusions. In the process, we clarify for ourselves just what we believe and why.
Courses and programs
All Calvin students are required to take an introductory philosophy class, titled "Fundamental Questions in Philosophy," as part of the Core curriculum.
Interested in studying more philosophy? Check out:
- a philosophy major
- philosophy as a double major
- a well-rounded but flexible philosophy minor
Philosophy majors and minors can earn credit in a variety of formats:
- 34 semester-long courses, including:
- a variety of introductory and survey classes
- philosophy classes that meet Core requirements
- advanced seminar classes
- introductory and advanced honors classes
- interim courses
- independent study
- and internships oppportunities
Student involvement opportunities
Students may do honors work in any course, and advanced students, under the supervision of a faculty member, may engage in independent reading and research projects. Other, non-classroom opportunities include:
- Philosophy Symposium - a forum for students to engage in philosophical discourse that meets each Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. in Hiemenga Hall 336.
- Frequent lectures, seminars and conference—such as the annual Jellema Lectures and Stob Lectures—that give students, faculty members and guest speakers a forum for lively discussion and debate.
- Comenius Scholars - a paid internship program that gives traditional liberal arts students the opportunity to extend their learning into the workplace.
Vocational opportunities
Studying philosophy builds skills invaluable in any career:
- thinking critically
- speaking clearly
- writing coherently
A small handfull of philosophy students go into teaching philosophy at the university level. More, however, study philosophy as preparation for fields such as ministry, law or politics. Some interested in the theoretical aspects of another discipline, such as economics, political theory, educational theory, intellectual history, literary criticism, mathematics or systematic theology, also benefit from training in philosophy.
Calvin College graduates in philosophy have traditionally found access to the finest graduate and professional schools in the United States and Canada. Recent Calvin philosophy graduates were accepted to PhD programs in philosophy at such renowned institutions as Princeton, New York University, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Notre Dame, Michigan, Cornell, Arizona, Ohio State, Georgetown, and University of California—Irvine.
The faculty
The Calvin College philosphy department has the reputation of being one of the finest undergraduate departments in the nation. The department's current faculty includes noted scholars in such fields as philosopy of religion, aesthetics, cultural criticism, ethics and moral philosophy, philosophy of science, philosophy of mind, continental philosophy and the history of philosophy. Its faculty members contribute to the life of Christian philosophy—both nationally and internationally—by teaching and lecturing at universities and conferences throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Resources and technology
The large and fully automated Hekman Library is unmatched nationally among Christian colleges and is recognized as one of the best research libraries in west Michigan. Its collection includes over 500,000 volumes, 130,00 electronic books, 30,000 journals, a vast collection of microform documents and access to over 100 research databases. Additionally, the Christian Classics Ethereal Library offers an online collection of more than 30 books, essays and poems by Christian theologians and philosophers, and the department's Virtual Library of Christian Philosophy currently holds 177 articles.
History of the department
The philosophy department of Calvin College houses one of the finest undergraduate philosophy programs in the nation. Calvin's philosophy department was the undergraduate and/or teaching home of four American Philosophical Association Presidents—Alvin Plantinga, Nicholas Wolterstorff, William Frankena and O. K. Bouwsma.

The influential Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa is the mastermind behind Issey Miyake's Twelve timepiece. Fukasawa's intent was to eliminate all numbers from the watch face while still allowing easy readability, a feat he brilliantly achieved by using the twelve angles of the case as hour markers. The result is a sharp, uncluttered design that adheres to Fukasawa's refined and minimal aesthetic.

MICHIGAN MATTERS. Above, Rep. Candice Miller speaks to local elected officials, business owners and others about the issues she is addressing in Washington, D.C., such as tax reform, alternative energy and stopping an Asian carp invasion in Michigan.

Rep. Miller speaks on
bills that protect MI
by CHRIS GRAYOne of Michigan's representatives at Capitol Hill is confident Michigan will provide national defenses and resources for alternative energy.
Observer Staff Writer
U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller spoke with members of the Greater Romeo-Washington Chamber of Commerce at its annual State of the Community Luncheon on March 10.
Miller touched on major issues affecting Michigan and the nation itself, among them being proposed cuts to A-10 Thunderbolt II jet squads around the county. Miller said the Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township survived efforts to eliminate five squads, and believes it will continue to do so.
"Air National Guard flies about 35 percent of the entire flying missions for the Air Force for 6 percent of the cost," she said. "We feel pretty good about where we are with this."
She added that the first responsiblity of federal government before any other issue should be to provide for common defense.
In the same vein of protection, Miller said she is an advocate for the Great Lakes, so she is pushing legislation that would separate the Mississippi River from the lakes to prevent an Asian carp invasion. She said she has received both support and backlash for the idea, but wants to safeguard the nautal resource from an invasive species.
"We're the Great Lakes State, that is our identity, it's in our DNA," she said.
On the transportation side for the lakes, she said efforts are being made to have the Great Lakes considered a single navigable system of transportation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. She said this would improve shipping and dredging.
She stressed the state can help build a better energy portfolio, saying it would lead to national security. This includes the Keystone oil pipeline from Canada or more nuclear, natural gas or wind power, saying Michigan is a good source for the latter two.
"We actually have some of the best wind in the entire world there because of the long stretch of Lake Huron," she said.
Regarding the new Farm Bill, Miller said the five-year bill provides a deficit reduction of $24 billion and includes crop insurance for farmers.
"The farmers really bucked up . . . there are no subsidies or direct payments in the Farm Bill," she said.
Miller is part of the Homeland Security Committee looking to improve immigration on the country's southern and northern borders. When asked why Congress would stall immigration reform in favor of securing borders to help out farmers, she said the politics of it are tough because the Senate's immigration reform only "throws a bunch of money at the border."
"If we can get the border security part of it passed, then I think you will have the follow-on," she said.
Turning to national issues, Miller said a lot of federal conversations deal with the country's budget. She said spending cuts should be made, but noted reductions alone will not solve the issue.
"If there is one single thing that I think could really turbo-charge our economy and really get us going here is comprehensive tax reform," she said.
She said simplifying the tax bill should be a goal as well as bringing down rates, such as the 35 percent corporate tax. She said since it's an election year it might be difficult to make such reforms, but hopes her fellow congressmen wouldn't shy away from tough votes.
Miller said as a country there also needs to be more resources for mental health issues, especially in light of tragedies like the Sandy Hook shootings. She said a federal overhaul of mental health policies is gaining ground.
"We still don't talk about mental heath enough, there is still a stigma," she said.

In response to 2013soxchamps' comment:
I'll never understand why players/announcers get beat up for wanting to make a living, or look for more money and provide for their families. I'm sure all the whiners would say no thank you to a pay raise.
Evidently making money is a sin, according to some.
no, I have no issue with anyone having side businesses, a name on a restaurant or what have you. I simply feel that Remy has gotten lazy, doesnt stay on top of the game and meanders, has failed to acknowledge anything to do with metrics, and still takes a point of view on playing the game from an 80's perspective.
Give me Eck, Gabe Kapler, Sean Casey and many, many others over Remy. This is a prime gig covering the Sox, and we as fans deserve better
I doubt anyone has an issue with Jerry making money. I have been to Jerry's place in the seaport location many times and even since this has all happened. From listening to Jerry this morning on weei, he will need to go back to work for the sox to pay for high price defense team for his son.
The bottom line for me is I think ECK is a better analyst. I respect the system we have and if John Henry thinks it is ok, I will still tune into every game.
He has nearly come out and said his son is a murderer I don't think he is going to hire anyone like Hernendez has hired.
I think the lawyers are already in place and the cost will not be as high as hernandez but it will be high. Listening to the interview it sounds like Jerry is going for custody of his grandchild. he said in the interview that three families are going for custody. If he uses his money to get cutody over the victim's family, this will be another issue talked about.
Shouldn't the grand child go where the child has the greatest oppertunity to succeed? Assuming the Remy's have more money than the Martells, the Remy's provide the greatest oppertunity.
Back to the main point. Why do you think Remy is supporting him? Jared Remy says he is innocent and Jerry Remy has said he is guilty. Why would he pay for thim to get off? Remy has said his son is going to jail for the rest of his life.
Well..thank God courts don't make custody decisions based on who has the most money! Personnally I agree with the other posters who stated that Remy's track record with child rearing isn't exactly great. I hope custody goes to the Martell's without question.
I will also add that I feel like it is in poor taste for him to return so soon. I think NESN will see how it goes for a few days. I've heard comments on the radio and people seem split 50/50 ( at least the people who call into radio shows). I think if it's awkward or uncomfortable in any way Remy might be done. I am sure there are still some people who enjoy Remy in the booth..but I was not one of them before this all happened. I think the commentary was better without him.
do you have a link to prove the split was 50/50?
Yikes! No..sorry. Most things in life don't have links as I am sure you know. Funny the things people ask for links for...lol. Whatever did we do before computers and the interwebs??
Personally I don't ask for links unless someone is going to be bold enough to claim they have links.... the way I feel, don't put it on the table to begin with.
I get a chuckle when someone asks for links, then gets mad when someone else asks for links. Good grief.

Chow bus!" chants Gunner Fischer, 3, as a custom-painted school bus rounds the corner and rumbles toward his apartment complex in Murfreesboro, Tenn. About 21 million students nationwide eat free and reduced-price meals throughout the school year, but getting those same kids fed during the summer is a challenge. Only a fraction of those make it to schools or community centers for summer meals.

White seizes her chance: "My name is LaTonya White. I'm the principal at Rosebank Elementary School. How are you doing?" she asks, glancing at the clipboard in her hands. On it: a list of families in the area with soon-to-be kindergartners. "Yes, you should have a child ready to come to school soon."

Don't believe the House seat study
Posted By Michael Symons On December 23, 2008 @ 1:35 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Having already posted earlier today about the Election Data Services study forecasting that New Jersey will be docked one House seat after the 2010 Census, here's the alternate view: You can't really rely on those Census Bureau estimates, even this close to the next census.
The numbers are based off a July 1, 2008 estimate, while the actual apportionment will be based on a April 1, 2010 count — 21 months later, and a lot less theoretical. It will depend on how well people are counted. And on economic conditions, and whether people keep moving, and whether immigrants keep arriving … and a ton of other factors.
If you run the 1998 estimates (as revised in December 1999) though the House apportionment calculator, four of the 2000s House seats would have been incorrectly forecast. Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Montana all would have had one more seat than they actually wound up with this decade, while the '98 estimates also would have shortchanged Colorado, Florida, Georgia and Utah one seat they've actually had.
This much seems obvious: New Jersey will have quite a bit riding on the final counts announced right around this time in 2010.

So let me get this straight. The City of Birmingham cuts funding for the YMCA's, Kid one transport and other very worthy charity causes that help the citizens of our city on an annual basis. Why they continue to fund a losing festival is mind blowing.
Being a FOR PROFIT festival the City of Birmingham should not invest one more dollar! Given the cuts the City has recommended in fine organizations that help and serve the people of Birmingham such as the YMCA's, Kid One Transport, etc, it is unbelieveable that City Stages comes back three days before their mismanaged event asking for more. I agree with the council member that an independent audit for the past three years should be required for all future city investments. We should also demand an independent analysis of the revenue the city actualy makes on lodging, food and gas from the attendees. Don't believe everything you hear from the organizers. You may be shocked at the salaries of the organizers and how the city's money is spent. Times have changed and the city can no longer spend this kind of money for a weekend music festival. If Council votes to give them more money remember who votes yes and please do not give them your vote at the next election. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! Either the festival makes it on its own or it can go away, just like many, many other businesses in Birmingham. Birmingham cannot afford to continue to bail out City Stages financially when there are other greater needs in the city.
