January 7, 2008
January is National Mentoring Month.
"The campaign's goal is to recruit volunteer mentors to
help young people achieve their full potential. The
campaign's theme is 'Share What You Know. Mentor a Child.'
... Participants in the National Mentoring Month campaign
include leading nonprofit organizations and numerous
governors and mayors. In communities across the country,
designated nonprofit and governmental agencies are
responsible for coordinating local campaign activities,
including media outreach and volunteer recruitment. These
local lead partners include state and local affiliates of
MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, Corporation for
National and Community Service, Points of Light Foundation
and Volunteer Center National Network, America's Promise
Alliance, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Communities
in Schools, and United Way of America."
When working with an agency like Big Brothers and Big
Sisters of America, mentors do need to be at least 18.
Mentors don't need to be rich, nor do they need to have a
college degree. A mentor can be the 18-year-old who takes
his 7-year-old neighbor to the park to play basketball.
"A mentor is an adult who, along with parents, provides
young people with support, counsel, friendship,
reinforcement and a constructive example. Mentors are good
listeners, people who care, people who want to help young
people bring out strengths that are already there. As a
mentor, you can help connect children with the other four
America's Promise Fundamental Resources: safe places and
structured activities during non-school hours, a healthy
start, a marketable skill through effective education and
an opportunity to give back through community service.
Things that may seem easy or straightforward to you are
often mysterious to young people. That's why it can be
easier than you think to make a difference in a young
person's life."
Whether or not there are agencies in your area working with
the National Mentoring Partnership, there are mentors.
"Mentoring--from the Greek word meaning enduring--is
defined as a sustained relationship between a youth and an
adult. Through continued involvement, the adult offers
support, guidance, and assistance as the younger person
goes through a difficult period, faces new challenges, or
works to correct earlier problems. In particular, where
parents are either unavailable or unable to provide
responsible guidance for their children, mentors can play a
critical role. The two types of mentoring are natural
mentoring and planned mentoring. Natural mentoring occurs
through friendship, collegiality, teaching, coaching, and
counseling. In contrast, planned mentoring occurs through
structured programs in which mentors and participants are
selected and matched through formal processes."
A student finds a teacher s/he can talk to. An athlete is
inspired by a coach. Natural mentoring works wonderfully in
some cases. At other times, it takes a more structured
"In 1904, a young New York City court clerk named Ernest
Coulter was seeing more and more boys come through his
courtroom. He recognized that caring adults could help many
of these kids stay out of trouble, and he set out to find
volunteers. That marked the beginning of the Big Brothers
movement. By 1916, Big Brothers had spread to 96 cities
across the country. At around the same time, the members of
a group called Ladies of Charity were befriending girls who
had come through the New York Children's Court. That group
would later become Catholic Big Sisters. Both groups
continued to work independently until 1977, when Big
Brothers of America and Big Sisters International joined
forces and became Big Brothers Big Sisters of America."
Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America is an established
agency that many people have heard of, but it is not the
only mentoring programs. Schools, churches, and other
community groups often recruit mentors to work with the
youth in their community; some of these organizations have
programs involving mentors under the age 18 who work with
younger students. Check what is available in your area.
"The number of mentoring programs has grown dramatically in
recent years. This popularity results in part from
compelling testimonials by people--youth and adults
alike--who have themselves benefited from the positive
influence of an older person who helped them endure social,
academic, career, or personal crises."
When a natural mentoring situation does not present itself,
it can be best to go through an agency. Whether looking to
FIND a mentor or BE a mentor, these organizations will meet
with all parties involved and work to find the best fit.
Additionally, since the process involves two strangers
spending time together, these agencies will also do
background and reference checks on all mentors that work
with them.
While these agencies and organizations work to match adults
(age 18 and older) who want to be mentors with children and
teens (ages 5 - 18) who are looking for a mentor, teens and
young adults who are looking for professional and academic
mentors have even more options.
"There are many different ways to find a great internship
experience. Many companies have well-established strong
internship programs. Others may have assorted positions
available as the need arises. However, it may be that you
can't find the position you're looking for. In this case
you can research and develop your own position. It takes
time and effort but an internship that is specifically
tailored to your own academic and career goals can be
better than one that is 'close enough.' "
Questions of the Week:
What situations can you think of where a person would
benefit from both being and having a mentor at the same
time? What qualities do you think a person would need to be
a good mentor? During what life situations would a person
benefit from having a mentor or being an intern? How would
you describe a healthy/ mutually beneficial internship or
mentoring relationship? How can those who are looking to be
or have mentors find each other in a safe way?

My story of change begins about two years ago. I have always been on the thin side naturally. I was not in shape, just naturally thin. I got married at 19 and over the next 24 years, I gave birth to nine children. For most of this time, I really didn't notice too much change in my body. When my last child was two, I turned 40. I began to be less active, and started enjoying good food more. I didn't really pay attention to the fact that I was putting on weight and sitting on my rear end most of the day. When it came to buying new clothes, I HATED it. I never had trouble finding something I liked all these years. Now it seemed I could find nothing I liked, because I didn't look good in anything. I had the dreaded "muffin top" over my pants. I started finding ways to buy clothes to "cover up" my body. I justified all this because, after all, I was 40 and I had given birth to nine children.
The summer of 2003, my oldest daughter invited us to a hike up the mountain. I had never done this before, but thought that would be a fun thing to do. I nearly died! I had to be pushed and pulled up that mountain. My leg muscles were trembling coming down, and I could hardly keep from falling. It was at this point that I really had to be honest with myselfI was out of shape. I had put on pounds that made me look dumpy. THIS was not who I was or am. I decided to start working out, but I had no idea what to do. I bought a stationary bicycle and started doing crunches. I did this for a year. In all honesty, I think it did me some good, but NOTHING that I could see physically. It wasn't taking me where I wanted to go.
My oldest daughter has always been into fitness. Over the years she has brought home many workout videos, which I have tried. Most of them I just did not like. They had too many dance steps, and I felt like I was spending more time trying to get the move right than anything. In November 2005, she came for a visit and brought her newest workout video, Slim in 6. She wanted me to give it a try. So I did. It was great. It was the first video workout that I really enjoyed. I decided to get my own video and really work with it. Since I had no idea about calories, I also began to study food nutrition. I kept a careful record of what I ate, and what I did for a workout. The hardest part about the whole program was taking that "before" picture. There were no "carefully chosen" clothes in which to disguise myself. I began working the program. I remember a line Debbie uses in the video: "Come on, it's worth it when you have to go to the store and buy a size lower." I began to watch my clothes start to hang on me. I could put on a skirt and have it fall off. It was SO worth it to have to go to the store and buy a size (or sizes) lower. THIS was the real me. The person I grew up as. Another surprise . . . not only was I back to being thin again, but even betterI have muscle. At 43, I feel better and more in shape than I ever have in my life.
I love Beachbody and Debbie Siebers for giving me a better life than I had before. I am inspired to keep up the active lifestyle now, watch what I eat, and be healthy. I do a daily Burn It Up! with Slim in 6. This summer I plan to take on that mountain hike again, but not die doing it.
Thanks so much,
Vallerie H.

I was an impatient little girl. My favorite word was "now." My favorite question was "Now?" And my favorite answer … you get the picture. But I've grown older and wiser (sort of!), and this maturity is mainly the result of realizing that instant gratification is a rarity in life. Most of the time we take baby steps, sometimes we backtrack, and we may even have to off-road completely to get what we want. But it's the false starts and detours that can teach us valuable lessons.
Landscape painters knows a good bit about patience. They spend countless hours painting under the grueling sun, sometimes in the cold and wind, and almost always exposed to the elements waiting for the right moments to come along for their landscape painting art. Sometimes those moments are magic--you can take them back into the studio to pursue your art at home, in a different medium or scale than what you worked on in nature, producing easel paintings in oil, watercolor, pastel, and more.
Looking at it this way, waiting for those moments doesn't strike me as something to regret as wasted time but opportunities to hone our fine-art painting techniques and gained insight on how to paint the illusion of detail, light, and shadow in our artwork. But we still want to make the most of our precious time with our art, which is where 35% off eBooks in the North Light Shop comes in. Right now, you can get the art resources you are looking for at a great deal, including Chinese Landscape Painting and many more.With time and effort, I've started to understand how to create a realistic sense of contrast for objects in my paintings, establish depth and focus in a landscape painting with a balance of warm and cool colors, and more. Attending painting workshops is great, but these eBooks give you painting lessons in your very own home. With them, you will be well on your way to mastering key landscape painting techniques. Let me know how it is coming along on your next stop off at Artist Daily!
Where does one gain access to the free eBook, 8 Tips to Help You Paint Light and Shadow in an Oil Landscape Painting by Chris McHenry? I'm lost, please help me someone.
My first snafu! The link is now alive and well in the blog post. Sorry, Cardin! But it'll be worth the wait--Chris McHenry is a great resource for oil landscape painters. Enjoy and let me know if you have any problems.

While some Republicans are seeking to repeal controversial aspects of a recently approved financial crisis-response Dodd-Frank Act, Rep. Michele Bachmann announced her efforts on Thursday to axe the law completely.
"I'm pleased to offer a full repeal of the job-killing Dodd-Frank financial regulatory bill," the Minnesota Republican said after introducing a bill that would do just that. "Dodd-Frank grossly expanded the federal government beyond its jurisdictional boundaries. It gave Washington bureaucrats the power to interpret and enforce the legislation with little oversight."
The statute Bachmann is seeking to repeal places new restrictions on the nation's biggest lenders, reins in the Federal Reserve and sets up an independently funded Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with an annual budget of $850 million that is crafted to supervise and regulate mortgage and credit-card products, including payday lenders and others that have so far escaped regulation. The statute also creates a new regulatory regime seeking to bring a huge swath of the $450 trillion derivatives market into the open.
Also included in the sweeping package is a controversial "Volcker rule" — named for former Fed chief Paul Volcker — that would limit insured banks' speculative proprietary trading activities. The controversial proposal would also force big banks to divest their major interests in hedge funds and private equity firms.
Bachmann's legislation, which has been endorsed by conservative groups, the Club for Growth and Americans for Prosperity, has four GOP co-sponsors including new House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa of California.
She raised concerns that Dodd-Frank failed to reform government-controlled mortgage refinance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Both Democrats and Republicans have said reform of Fannie and Freddie will be top priorities for 2011. The Obama administration is expected to reveal its reform plan for the two firms by the end of January.
Meanwhile, new House Financial Services Committee Chairman Spencer Bachus of Alabama has a more nuanced approach to repeal. He plans to provide "vigorous" oversight of regulators efforts to reform banking and housing. Bachus, who also has vowed to make it his top priority to reform Fannie and Freddie, said he also will work to dismantle pieces of Dodd-Frank Act that he believes "unnecessarily punish small businesses and community banks."
As expected, Rep. Barney Frank, Democrat of Massachusetts, who now becomes the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, is opposed to Bachmann's repeal efforts.
"Michele Bachmann, the Club for Growth, and others in the right-wing coalition have now made their agenda for the financial sector very clear: they yearn to return to the thrilling days of yesteryear, so the loan arrangers can ride again – untrammeled by any rules restraining irresponsibility, excess, deception, and most of all, infinite leverage," Frank said in a statement.

NEW PORT RICHEY — When Debbie Visicaro saw the protest signs outside the West Pasco Judicial Center on Thursday, she knew she wanted to become involved.
The signs had messages such as "Hugs Not Psych Drugs," "Stop Doping Kids" and "Government Out of Our Homes."
"This is something I've been fighting for 11 years," said Visicaro, a Palm Harbor resident.
Visicaro quickly asked for more information from the group, Parents Against Prescription Abuse, who say they are opposed to what they view as "widespread psychiatric drugging" of children by family and juvenile courts, as well as child protective services.
Too often, they say, children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are prescribed Ritalin or other drugs, rather than finding other ways to deal with their situation.
"Our position is the answers to life's problems are not found in the bottom of prescription-drug bottle," said Andrew Thibault, a New Port Richey resident and one of the protest organizers.
The situation is not new, one of the protestors, Randall Gillion, said. He said that 25 years ago a preschool teacher suggested medication for his hyperactive son. Gillion said he pulled his son out of school and handled his son's hyperactivity with a change in diet.
"Parents do have rights," Gillion said. "You don't have to give your child medicine they don't need."

The hardware being offered is no slouch either. It uses a 700MHz ARM11 processor coupled with 128MB of RAM and runs OpenGL ES 2.0 allowing for decent graphics performance with 1080p output confirmed. Storage is catered for by an SD card slot. It also looks as though modules can be attached such as the 12MP camera seen in the image above.
We can expect it to run a range of Linux distributions, but it looks like Ubuntu may be the distro it ships with. That means it will handle web browsing, run office applications, and give the user a fully functional computer to play with as soon as it's plugged in. All that and it can be carried in your pocket or on a key chain.

The install/activation limit can still apply with games on the Steam platform as well. It doesn't have any inherent advantage over other systems here. Products distributed via Steam are often still protected by another system such as Securom.
The convenience you're talking about with Steam is also a common property of other digital distribution systems as well. Stardock's Impulse for example also lets you log in on another computer and download your games - just as convenient as Steam.
Impulse has some advantages though:
- One-time activation - no need to keep checking if you're allowed to play it
- The Impulse client isn't required to play your games
- No need for an offline mode (see 2)
- Updates are opt-in instead of opt-out
- Offline activation method available - as long as you can get to another computer with internet access.

Re: What is the best way to farm for gold in WoW
Only thing with mentioning instances (outside those that can be soloed, such as ZF at lvl 70), is that whatever drops, unless one's going to be a ninja jerk that no one wants to go down with again; one's got to split those drops. Even with dischant ability, the way it reasonably works, is people roll on the shard...
Raides, I haven't seen them as money makers, and definitely when people are gearing up, wipes can be inevitable. For instance, when I first when into kara, it wasn't uncommon to find mobs that were criting some players for 8,000+ damage. 1-2 hit kills could be common. On one mob for instance, our warrior with about 14,000 armor and I'm not exactly sure how much hp, but probably over 10 k could only take a couple hits.
We ended up on this one mob (and we're talking trash here), having to resort to a feral druid in the party tanking that one, rather then the MT/warrior, because he had 21,000 armor in bear form, and then designate 2 healers out of 3 in the raid, onto the druid alone...
Course one will be kara geared before looking to go here, but the mobs in Gruul's Layer and Serpentshrine Cavern are harder hitting. It can not be uncommon to walk away from a raid, with a bit of a financial loss, between repairs, pots, food (and if one's a hunter, not all pets like mage bread), arrows, regeants, etc. End result, when I for one go into a raid, I'm grinding gold, and buying stuff before I ever get to the portal, with the expectation I might lose. One raides for a shot at gear, rather then expecting to make gold.
True, as one gears up, older raides can become easier (take ZG for instance, at lvl 70 with decent gear), but as a general rule, when starting a new end game instance and progressing further along....

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Inspector General says the Alabama Medicaid Agency needs to return $88.1 million in funding, due to what the department said was an incorrect way of calculating the number of enrolled children in fiscal years 2009 and 2010.
Dr. Don Williamson, the head of an effort to revamp the way Medicaid is delivered in the state, said they planned to meet with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services within the month to attempt to resolve the issue. Refunding the money, he said, would be difficult.
"The money Medicaid got 2009 and 2010, that's not just money sitting in a pot," he said. "It went into the General Fund and went into Medicaid."
The report from the Office of the Inspector General of HHS said the agency overstated its enrollment of qualifying children by 92,370 in FY 2009, and 93,231 in FY 2010. According to the OIG, the discrepancy had to do with the different means of calculating how children qualify.
"The State agency overstated its current enrollments because, rather than reporting a monthly average enrollment of qualifying children, it reported to CMS the total number of all qualifying children that had been enrolled in its program for each year reviewed," the report said.
The different calculation methods, Williamson said, can lead to different enrollment numbers. Taking the entire year will capture every child who ever qualified for Medicaid during the year, however long that took place. An average monthly enrollment would reflect children who may become eligible for a shorter period of time before becoming ineligible.
Williamson said the agency began using "the number that CMS and the OIG want Alabama to use" starting in 2011. The state has about $35 million in as-yet unpaid credits from CMS for 2011 and 2012, and may receive additional credits in 2013, which Williamson said could be used toward the $88 million. He hoped CMS would negotiate with them over the remainder.
"We think there was a misunderstanding back in 2009," Williamson said. "We think there's no evidence the state did anything other than act in good faith, and try to provide right numbers in '09 and '10."
Alabama and Medicaid have feuded over funding in the past. A long-running battle over Alabama's methods for determining Medicaid costs that could have cost the state $500 million was settled in November, 2010. Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, the chair of the Senate Finance and Taxation General Fund committee, said Wednesday that he would see how the negotiations proceeded.
"We're sure the governor and Dr. Williamson will be talking with CMS and (DHS) Secretary (Kathleen) Sebelius about the reduction and elimination of the chargeback," he said. "It's too early to know the amount."

River Seven survives objection, breaks maiden in Grey
"He broke sharp," Da Silva said of River Seven. "He was ready. He sat very close to the lead. My horse never stopped kicking in. He's a very, very nice horse."
Da Silva was not too worried about the claim of foul.
"It looked like I was clear of the other horse (Uncaptured)," the rider said. "But the other rider is doing his job. He needs to do what he needs to do."
River Seven, who was sent off at 7-1, returned $16.60, $7.80 and $18. Tesseron crossed the wire a neck in front of the closing Indiano Jones. Five Iron tired to fourth, followed by Uncaptured and Mercenary. Star Contender was scratched.
River Seven was avenging his three previous defeats. Two of those had come at the hands of Uncaptured, both in sprints. Third in his career debut in the June 30 Clarendon Stakes, where he was beaten nine lengths by Uncaptured, he reduced the margin to just one length in the July 28 Vandal Stakes.
Stretching out for a maiden over a mile and 70 yards on September 3, River Seven closed late, only to fall a half-length short of the winning Tesseron. On Sunday, he got the jump on that rival.
River Seven's scorecard now reads 4-1-2-1, $206,864. The son of Johannesburg was bred by William D. Graham in Ontario and first sold for $80,000 as a Keeneland September yearling. At the Fasig-Tipton Florida Sale in March, however, he went to his current connections for $60,000.
The bay gelding is out of the stakes-winning Chester House mare Sans Souci Island and hails from the family of English champion Negligent and current Irish Group 1-winning juvenile filly Sky Lantern.

Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin won the Wisconsin Senate race Tuesday, defeating former GOP Gov. Tommy Thompson in one of the tightest Senate races of the cycle. Fox and CBS both have called the race for Baldwin.
Thompson was initially considered the favorite after narrowly escaping a four-way GOP primary in August. The Republican had a history of appealing to moderate Democrats and independents in his four gubernatorial wins. But Baldwin and her Democratic allies hammered Thompson on television, attacking his post-gubernatorial career at a lobbying firm in Washington, D.C.
President Obama won the presidential race in Wisconsin, and Thompson was unable to significantly over-perform Mitt Romney in the state. Baldwin attached herself to Obama throughout the campaign, attending two rallies with the president in the state during the final week.
Baldwin, who will replace retiring Democratic Sen. Herb Kohl, is the first woman elected to the Senate in Wisconsin's history. She will also be the first openly gay senator in U.S. history once she's sworn in next year.
Check out our analysis of the Wisconsin Senate race here.

Video: The art of asking questions
Submitted by:
Gary Klugiewicz
While the skillful use of giving commands to subjects can achieve a desired effect, at times that tactic falls short — at times that tactic actually telegraphs your intention to take a subject into custody. PoliceOne Columnist Gary Klugiewicz explains that by using a quieter approach — and using questions rather than commands — you can often make your intentions unknown until it's too late (for the suspect!) and your arrest has already been effected.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A Muslim man from McAlester who was twice prevented from flying from his home in Qatar to visit his ailing mother in the United States says now that he's been allowed to return home, he's being harassed by local and federal law enforcement officials.
Saadiq Long said Wednesday that since he's returned to McAlester, FBI agents have attempted to speak to him at his mother's home and again during a traffic stop in McAlester on Nov. 23, when he and his sister were ordered from their vehicle at gunpoint and handcuffed.
The 43-year-old Air Force veteran and U.S. citizen says he doesn't know why he was banned from flying or why the FBI has an interest in him.
FBI spokesman Ricky Rains in Oklahoma City declined to comment.

The Vancouver Canucks' 2012-13 schedule was released Thursday, and you know what? It's not half-bad. Mike Gillis even went so far as to call the entire thing "travel-friendly" on the radio Wednesday, and he's right, at least compared to previous years. The longest road trips are only five games and they're both out of the way by the end of November. The Canucks only makes 3 trips out East the entire year, they don't visit Florida, and the trips don't have them darting all over the globe, willy-nilly, like they're tracking Carmen Sandiego.
As for the games of note, well, there's a Saturday night tilt with Boston on the 29th of December that will probably be a lot of fun, although the Canucks conspicuously omitted this one on their list of dates to remember. (This is easy to explain. When Mike Gillis blamed some of the Canucks' struggles in the back half of the season on emotional exhaustion from last season's Boston game, the marketing department effectively forfeited the right to make a big deal of this year's at all. They'd be defenestrated for that.) We'll probably all enjoy the visit from the Maple Leafs two Saturdays prior, especially if acquire Roberto Luongo some time between them and now, and tilts with the Blackhawks and Red Wings will be as enjoyable as ever.
But let's not talk about the games we know will be good. Someone else will do that. Instead, let's take a look at the games I'm pretty sure are going to suck. Here are five that project to be exceedingly lame.
The fifth game of the season is a Friday night dance with the Columbus Blue Jackets — or at least, that's what it is in Ohio. In Vancouver, it's a Friday afternoon tilt with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Puck drop's at 4pm Pacific.
Over the course of the season, there will be games that necessitate leaving work early. This is hardly one of them.
First of all, it's the Blue Jackets. Lame. Second, the Canucks will probably play poor enough to lose, since they're in Nashville the night prior, it's their first road trip of the year, they always start the season slow, and they play the Red Wings two nights later, so they'll likely be looking ahead to that one. Expect bad hockey at an inconvenient time.
Here's another Friday afternoon road game, but it's not so much the 5pm puck drop that will make this one a slog: the opponent is a factor. The Blues play pretty unriveting hockey, if I recall correctly, and they're the final stop on a road trip that sees the Canucks play the Maple Leafs, Capitals, and Red Wings.
Plus, the two games before the road trip are versus the Flyers and Avalanche. So basically, we get a string of games that project to be high-octane and exciting, and then everything comes to a screeching halt when an exhausted Canucks' club meets one of the most stifling, uncreative teams in the NHL. Basically, this game will be like the last 20 minutes of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, except with fewer shots of New Zealand's sweeping, majestic landscape.
Come to think of it, there probably won't be many shots at all. Lame.
Games against the Minnesota Wild are already as tedious and flavourless as chewing a tough piece of steak, and thanks to the NHLPA vetoing realignment, we get six such games again this year. Huzzah!
This is game number five, so we're sure to be sick of the Wild by then, but here's what guarantees it will be even worse than game number six: it's at noon on a Sunday.
So basically, you have to skip church, forego a brunch buffet, or get out of bed just to see the Canucks play what will likely be one of their worst games of the year, against an opponent we all hate to watch and hate even more to watch win. Sounds delightful.
Another 4 p.m. puck drop at the tail end of a road trip, but this one's made worse because it's the Islanders. Blech.
Maybe it's just me, but I sort of hate watching games against the Islanders, especially when they take place in Nassau Coliseum. Even watching on television, that building depresses me. The ice is bad and the puck bounces, the lighting is bad and everything looks kind of sepia-toned and fuzzy as a result, the production value is always really crummy, and if you're watching in HD, the updates the building requires are as visible as Dan Murphy's pocket square.
Furthermore, the Islanders are always either so bad they're boring or so bad it's infuriating when the Canucks lose to them, and the latter is a distinct possibility because Vancouver plays the Rangers at Madison Square the night prior. This fact is also sure to guarantee that Nassau, hockey's worst arena, feels even more underwhelming, since it'll be juxtaposed with hockey's best.
So basically we have what's sure to be a bad game at an inconvenient time and it won't even look good when you watch it. It's also possible the Islanders are wearing their thirds. If so, this game moves up a spot at least.
The back half of a home-and-home with the Calgary Flames.
Everything about this game guarantees its lameness. The fact that we just saw these two teams play the night before. The fact that it's already the third meeting of the season. The fact that these divisional games don't have the energy they used to because the Flames aren't very good. The fact that the Canucks are usually pretty crummy right after the Christmas break. The fact that games broadcast from the Saddledome look like Turkish films from the 1970s on television.
And the fact that, as soon as this home-and-home is over, the Canucks head back to Vancouver to host the Bruins for the first time since they won the Stanley Cup here last June. That's sure to be much, much more fun. So basically, it's a repeat of a game that already won't be very exciting two days before the most exciting game of the year.
Here, my friends, is the 2012-13 schedule's lamest point.Tags: 2012-13 schedule, Blogs are for lists, Blues, Canucks, Flames, Pessimism, schedule
I never thought I would find a hockey blog so enamored with defenestration. Understandable, mind you, it's amazing there was once so much of it that it warranted its own word.
Also … fun article, if a bit depressing. I hope you follow it with the 5 least likely to be lame-games.
Great Idea!
Or an Aussie IWTG edition? The AIHL is in full swing and while the skill is nowhere near the NHL level, I haven't seen a boring match yet! Most games can be streamed online too. It's just fun hockey. Then afterwards, you're all invited round to mine for a BBQ and a beer or 2.
On the actual schedule, I'm really looking forward to the Buins game. I have a few mates who blindly follow them (following a Boston team is 'cool' here for some reason) so we are going to try set up a 4g stream on the beach some where and get a bit of a party atmosphere going right before New Years. Should be fun. Cannot wait for the season to kick off!
Or how about an IWTG – 2012 entry draft. Could be some fireworks surrounding a goalie from the West Coast with a long term contract, an over-priced center from a Florida team, a high scoring soon-to-be-non-franchise winger playing for a team in a city that nobody really cares about and some guy in Toronto who thinks he is gods gift to hockey. It could be pretty exciting *cough cough*
Basically, this game will be like the last 20 minutes of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, except with fewer shots of New Zealand's sweeping, majestic landscape.
Aigh, I'd foolishly drank one of those ginormous soft drinks and my bladder was overdue for relief and every time I thought the movie was going to end, some damn Elf would show up with waterfalls and fountains in the background and the movie would grind on for another eternity.
Hey, those "4 p.m. starts" are a godsend for those of us out least.
Besides, I like seeing more random teams like the Islanders for the variety… even though the Canucks have an annoying habit of losing to them. I don't understand the people who want to see division rivals over and over again. (I know Original 6ers think like this… but they're, generally speaking, idiots).
According to Wiktionary, sarcasm is defined as "A form of humor that is marked by mocking with irony, sometimes conveyed in speech with vocal over-emphasis. Insincerely saying something which is the opposite of one's intended meaning, often to emphasize how unbelievable or unlikely it sounds if taken literally, thereby illustrating the obvious nature of one's intended meaning."
I've been trying to start to take Harrison Mooney seriously, seeing as he writes for puck daddy now. You can always feel a little bit of Canuck bias in his writing though, and I thought he was getting better. But this article? I did a double take that he actually wrote this. I guess I don't mind all of the "But hey guys! Look! The Canucks ate at McDonald's this morning! that he has to slip in every day at Puck Daddy to remind us that the Canucks exist, but this article is retarded. I bet the Sedin twins themselves would agree that this is the kind of thing that makes Vancouver look like idiots. In a couple years these "boring" teams will be beating up on Vancouver with frequency. Enjoy your closing cup window. Lame.

Three Stars: Paul George on the rise
Feb 6, 2013, 2:04 AM EDT
There's nothing quite like the phenomenon of watching a young player ascend to stardom. When a young player bursts on to the scene and starts making extraordinary plays routine, he captures our imagination. How good could 22-year-old Paul George be? Who does he remind us of? Potential is enticing on its own, but when it's paired with production our minds really start to race. We don't know where George will end up in his career, but for right now, let's settle for ranking him with two surprise performances from an entertaining Tuesday night in the association:
Three Stars: Jeremy Lin – (28 points, 9 assists, 5-for-8 from deep)
Speaking of taking the world by storm, let's talk about Jeremy Lin. No one understands the rise to stardom quite like Lin, who has seen the highest of the highs in his Knicks days and some low valleys with the Rockets. Lin has suffered the fate most talented "fresh" players do — they become popular, everyone loves them, and then people start to pick at their weaknesses and bring them back down to earth. While Lin hasn't been on the level he was last year, he hasn't exactly been a bust either. He's nifty off the dribble, good in the pick-and-roll, and has pretty quick hands defensively. Lin's biggest problem is his shooting stroke, but tonight it was no problem at all. Lin connected on career-high five 3-pointers against the Warriors, leading the way in a record-tying night for the Rockets.
Second Star: Samuel Dalembert – (35 points, 12 rebounds, 17-for-21)
This has to be the most random scoring performance of the year, right? Milwaukee Bucks center Samuel Dalmbert has played in 26 games this season, averaging 15 minutes a game and 5.7 points. But tonight against the Nuggets, something got into 'ol Sam and he went off. Dalembert rattled off a career-high 35 points in 27 minutes on an incredible 17-for-21 shooting night, regularly knocking down the little 15 footer he's honed for years. Dalembert blew his previous career-high of 27 points out of the water, but the Bucks melted down in the fourth quarter and allowed the Nuggets to storm back. It's a shame the game of Dalembert's life was wasted by Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis, who combined to go 11-for-36 for 24 points and 9 turnovers.
First Star: Paul George – (29 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists)
Anytime you have to tell people to stop with the comparisons to an all-time great, you're doing pretty well:
George is playing with an unreal confidence offensively right now, and it's reflected in his personal numbers and Indiana's big nights recently. In the last 10 games, George is averaging nearly 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4.5 assists a contest. Indiana, meanwhile, has scored over 100 points in 6 of their last 10 games, which is almost unthinkable earlier in the season. George's ability to get his shot off late in the clock is a huge factor for Indiana, and his ability to use those long limbs in transition and dunk everything doesn't hurt either. With Danny Granger set to return soon, it will be interesting to see how the new George co-exists with such a high usage player like Granger. Will he defer, or will he continue on his scoring warpath? We'll have to wait and see, but for now, just try and enjoy the overall display George is putting on.
- saint1997 - Feb 6, 2013 at 2:56 AM
trade danny granger? Paul has been great at the 3 (he's been my favourite player for a while now) and you'd like to think Granger and some bench players coupled together could bring in some good picks/proven talent (maybe a dynamic scorer at the 2?)
- saint1997 - Feb 6, 2013 at 2:57 AM
Just had another thought as I posted that. Danny Granger for a pick and Tyreke?
- 00maltliquor - Feb 6, 2013 at 12:37 PM
- saint1997 - Feb 7, 2013 at 3:16 AM
Right? the more i think about it the more i like it. That could be a very cool team with a nice mix of slashers and shooters plus Tyreke could get all the ball he wants with a team that needs offensive creation
- redsghost - Feb 6, 2013 at 4:20 AM
I was thinking- trade Paul George and keep Granger. The Celts could use him.
- pellypell - Feb 6, 2013 at 12:34 PM
Nice try Danny Ainge!
- saint1997 - Feb 7, 2013 at 3:15 AM
yeh lets trade away huge upside young player and keep the at best borderline all star. sure
- davidly - Feb 6, 2013 at 5:09 AM
With 82 games a season, one'd be a fool not to enjoy all the good ones. All this talk about where somebody'll be in the future is folly, especially from the perspective of this lifelong Pacers' fan. You gotta take what you get.
As far as trading Granger goes, one should consider the fact that while Paul George's production is up, it's because he is playing eight more minutes per game. His FG% is actually down. The Pacers would be smart to keep both of them, even from the cold-hearted bu'ness perspective of "leverage", but not least of which because they have a balanced team with great D and are a joy to watch.
- 00maltliquor - Feb 6, 2013 at 1:41 PM
There's nothing quite like the phenomenon of watching a young player ascend to stardom. When a young player bursts on to the scene and starts making extraordinary plays routine, he captures our imagination. How good could 22-year-old Paul George be?
………….Until he signs his first big post-rookie contract, plays a few years, then the team tries to trade him and his salary to get under the cap, and get another young player or a pick to wash-rinse-repeat the cycle allllll over again.
It's what happend to countless others, most recently Rudy Gay, and what's inevidably gonna happen to Danny Granger ironically (remember it was Granger that was Paul George on the rise when they sent out Ron Artest to SAC to make room for Granger to be the next thing smokin'.)
Paul, you just the flavor of the next 3-4 years. Sorry to break it to you.

COLLEGE STATION (August 30, 2013) -- Johnny Manziel won't be on the field when No. 7 Texas A&M opens the season against Rice on Saturday.
At least not until after halftime.
The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback was suspended Wednesday for the first half of the game for what the school said was an "inadvertent" violation of NCAA rules involving signing autographs.
The quarterback was being investigated for allegedly accepting money for autographs from memorabilia brokers, a violation of NCAA rules that could have led to a much longer suspension.
Now that the Aggies know how long they'll be without him, they can focus on moving forward, and that starts with taking care of the Owls, who enter the game on a five-game winning streak.

Published by The California Postsecondary Education CommissionJune 2009. 4 Pages. View Full Publication
This report presents policy recommendations which developed from a yearlong process of collecting data and research, speaking with students and experts in the field, and a panel discussion. Our research found that LGBT students face many challenges that require additional campus services and resources as well as an overall lack of data available on the LGBT student population. Policy recommendations cover the areas of student data, campus climate, campus policies, professional development, and student support services. It is intended that campuses will adopt the recommendations that fulfill their campus needs with limited additional costs.

Reporter: Richard Pérez-Peña '84. "Hi, Richard here, Defensive Crouch Reporter for The New York Times."
Essay by Richard Pérez-Peña '84 / Photo illustrations by Mark Wood
Editor's Note: This is one of a four-part series in which Pomona
journalists discuss the future of the news. In this installment,
Richard Pérez-Peña '84, a reporter for The New York Times, offers his opinion.
A few months again, I went to Arlington, VA., to interview the guys who run Politico, a highly successful online news
organization. Before founding Politico two years ago, these two men had been among the top journalists
covering politics for The Washington Post, which made them a big deal in my world.
Now, their operation looks like the big, new thing that might supplant struggling newspapers. But at the time, I asked, didn't
going from their exalted former status to a Web start-up look like a crazy leap? One of them replied, "Yes, but I didn't want
to spend the rest of my career in a defensive crouch."
Defensive crouch, I thought. That could be the title of my job. As in, "Hi, Richard here, defensive crouch reporter for The
New York Times. Could I get you off that ledge long enough to give me an interview?"
I write about my own industry, print journalism, for The Times, an assignment I accepted two years ago in innocence and
ignorance. I knew that it would be unlike my previous beats in 15 years with the paper, like health care or politics, but I really
had no idea what I was getting into.
An English professor in my days at Pomona used to say that writing about writing was like a bird flying up its own … well,
you get the idea. (I've always loved that mental picture.) So what does that make journalism about journalism? The editor
who asked me to take on this assignment warned me that, yes, there's a lot of navel-gazing and you need to try to keep it
under control. He also warned me, "All of your colleagues will think they know your job better than you do, and you
have to be willing to piss off Bill and Arthur." (That would be Bill Keller '70, the executive editor of
Times, and Arthur Sulzberger, the publisher of the paper and chairman of the company.)
At last, I thought, my obnoxious readiness to butt heads will be seen as an asset! That editor was right
on all counts. But what no one warned me, because no one knew, was that my new assignment would be primarily
about the bottom falling out from under the newspaper business—my own livelihood—and, to a lesser degree, the magazine business, which I also cover.
The Rocky Mountain News and the Cincinnati Post shut down, and The Ann Arbor News says it will soon. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer stopped printing, becoming a much smaller,
all-digital operation. The Christian Science Monitor went from daily to weekly. The San Francisco Chronicle has been threatened
with closure. Companies are trying to sell once-prized papers, like The Miami Herald and the Chicago Sun-Times, at bargain-basement
prices, but there are no buyers.
Stocks in many newspaper companies have plunged more than 90 percent—more than 99 percent in some cases. When I
wrote that the market value of one fairly large newspaper chain had fallen below $1 million, an editor, thinking that was a typo,
said I had left off some zeroes, right? Or I meant $1 billion? I said "No, one million, with an 'm,'" and there was a long,
painful silence as he tried to absorb this news. Wave upon wave of downsizing has left thousands of journalists, including some
friends of mine, holding pink slips and wondering what the hell they're going to do with the rest of their lives.
I've covered all of it. Fun.
Readers and advertisers shifting to the Internet have squeezed newspapers hard, and the trend is accelerating.
I recently wrote that Craigslist and eBay are to print advertising what internal
combustion was to horse-drawn buggies. So this business was headed for crisis even if it did everything right.
But it turns out that a good chunk of my job is dissecting the spectacularly dumb deals made with borrowed money in 2005,
2006 and 2007, when hundreds of newspapers changed hands.
This binge only made the industry's inevitable misery worse. The pattern was eerily similar to the mortgage meltdown:
Buyers paid ridiculously high prices for assets they didn't need, they put down too little cash and took on far too much debt,
and banks were inexplicably eager to lend mountains of money to people who had no realistic prospect of paying it back. And,
as in the housing mess, many of the buyers were new to this particular sector, and didn't have a clue what they were doing.
I have also watched my own employer make some pretty desperate moves, like borrowing money at an interest rate that
would make a credit card company proud, from Carlos Slim Helú, a bazillionaire who controls most of the cell phones
between Tijuana and Tierra del Fuego.
You can cry or laugh, so my colleagues and I lean heavily on gallows humor. Some of the people I work with call me the
Grim Reaper. I tell them newspapers are trying the nonprofit model … but not on purpose. When people ask me for the latest
news, I say, "Oh, didn't you hear? Clear out your desk." My editors keep raving about what an amazing time it is to
have my job. It's a great story, they say. Uh, yeah, I say, trying not to sound despondent, and reminding
myself that I'm lucky to have this job.
The strangest part of my work, by far, is writing about my own paper and its owner, The New York Times Company. My editor wisely told me that nothing we say about our own
employer will be believed; people in the building will think we were too tough and revealed too much, and people outside will
think we were too soft and hid things. At every layer above my head, editors feel compelled to weigh in, in a way they never did
when I was writing about, say, diabetes or campaign finance. Our many critics would never believe this, but when I write
about The Times, the problem my editors create is not a particular bias, it's the injection of more ideas (often conflicting ideas)
than one story can hold.
Being The Times, we get an inordinate amount of attention, and much of what's said and written about us is wildly off the
mark. It's not my job to respond to what appears elsewhere in the media. But I get a lot of reader email, and if the threats,
obscenities and traitor-liar-tool epithets are kept to a minimum, I respond to that. I am especially vigilant about correcting one
very common misconception.
Readers on the left and right (usually right) write me daily to say that newspapers are going out of business because they're
awful, biased, trivial or wrong, and many of them add thoughtfully that they can't wait for the day
The Times crashes and
burns. As politely as I can, I reply that the problem isn't a shrinking audience. The demand for what we do is greater than
ever. Thanks to the Internet, vastly more people read newspapers than ever before, and that is more true of
The Times than
any other paper. Each month, about 20 million Americans read The Times online, several times as many as read it in print. Yes,
there are fewer people buying dead-tree papers, and that's a problem for the industry, but not the major one. The real threat
is plummeting revenue from advertising, which accounts for about 80 percent of newspaper revenue. The same thing has
happened to the serious papers and the trivial ones, the careful ones and the sloppy ones, the left, right or center ones.
I think (I hope, I pray) that The Times will survive in some form, at least until 2028, when I turn 65. There will always be
organizations collecting and telling the news, even after the word "paper" stops being part of the description. But most of
established players are becoming smaller, poorer and weaker, less able to shed light in dark corners, and I worry about how long
that will continue.
We cover the business of journalism a lot more than other industries of comparable size. It goes back to that weirdly self-referential
aspect of the job. (Remember that bird and where it flew?) This is about a conviction, usually unstated, that what we
do matters greatly. It feels weird to write those words, but there it is. Recently, in the company cafeteria, as soon as I sat down to
lunch, the previous conversations around my table halted and my co-workers set about grilling me about the latest bad news.
After a while, I pleaded with them to change the subject. After lunch, I took a walk to clear my head, and in Times
Square, I ran into an old friend.
"Hey, Rich," he said, with a look of concern. "What's going to happen to The Times?"
I smiled—and resisted the urge to get into a defensive crouch.

Release of Guantanamo list a constructive step
The Bush administration's decision to provide the names of terror suspects held there is a welcome departure from previous stonewalling.
Last week, without explanation, the Pentagon gave The Associated Press a list of all the prisoners who have been held at the U.S. compound at Guantanamo Bay.
It marked the end of a tug-of-war between the Bush administration and press and human rights groups over a facility that has become a magnet for controversy.
Interestingly, the move came as a United Nations panel, the Committee Against Torture, issued a call for the United States to shut down the Guantanamo facility and the use of secret detention facilities. Given the world body's record of indifference and hypocrisy in the face of repression, that took chutzpah - but even the U.N. can find itself on the right side of an issue now and then.
Certainly the disclosure was a step in the right direction. Terrorism suspects represent a very special challenge to the justice system, but they cannot be consigned to endless imprisonment and interrogation without trampling some of our core values.
A nation that rightly prides itself on being the world's largest and most open democracy cuts a distinctly odd figure operating an establishment like the Guantanamo facility . . . and clamping a lid of secrecy on the whole thing.
Washington is in a kind of Catch-22 with the Guantanamo detainees. On the one hand, the U.S. government held that the detainees - all of them accused of terrorist connections and/or actions - did not qualify for the protections that the Geneva Conventions spell out for prisoners of war. That, certainly, is a position that can be argued with some credibility. However, Washington also denied the detainees the rights and safeguards stipulated by federal law, consigning them to a legal limbo.
Questions still hover over Guantanamo and the nation's anti-terrorist campaign. Perhaps the most prominent of these was raised by the fact that the Guantanamo list did not include any of the most notorious terrorism suspects captured by U.S. operatives. Where are they? And what is to become of them?
But even as the fog lingers, the releasing of the list is a gratifying development. It appears to signal a willingness of the Bush administration to take a new tack on an issue that has developed into a major international embarrassment. Certainly it's to be hoped it will play out that way.

I was going to go through a tail wagging the dog thing,but decided to quote Churchill instead.He said."a lie travels around the world,while the truth is still getting it's boots on".
A recent CBS news show,60 Minutes,was discredited ,reporting their story on the recent attack and killing of a US ambassador in Bengazi.The eye wittness wasn't properly vetted,and his on air interview,was totally false.This embarassed the show,I think mainly because they got caught.It's not about truth,it's about ratings and being first.MONEY.
Conspiracy?I'll use one of my favorite movies as an anology ."The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance".a must see with James Stuart and John Wayne.
James Stuart becomes a somebody,because people believe he was a hero for shooting a homicidal maniac,Liberty Valance.It turns out that John Wayne,who actually shot him,conspires to keep his mouth shut,till one day,where he tells the now US Senator Ranson (Stuart),that it was he,who shot Liberty Valance.
Eventually,Stuart decides to come clean in a magazine interview to a Mr Scott.After doing so,Stuart asks his interviewer,"your not going to print that story?".
Scott replies,"Sir,this is the west,when the legend becomes fact,print the legend".

The flu in South Carolina remains widespread, with dozens more cases reported to hospitals, state health officials say.
Three more lab-confirmed deaths were recorded this month, the Department of Health of Environmental Control said, though none in Charleston, Berkeley or Dorchester counties.
The count brings the total number of in-state deaths attributed to the flu since Sept. 30 to at least 13, though that count may be low.
Because of the time it takes to collect medical data, DHECs reporting period is a calendar week behind, meaning that the most current available statistics cover the week ending Dec. 22.
A DHEC spokesperson said with the flu bug spreading, theres still time to increase your protection.
The flu shot is the best way to prevent getting the flu, said spokesperson Lindsey Evans.
Flu shots take two weeks before they are effective, she added, so the sooner a person receives the vaccination the better.
Evans urged other preventive measures to spreading the flu include covering your cough with the crook of your elbow, washing your hands frequently and staying home if you are sick.

The high rhetoric of the last few paragraphs was what you expected to hear:
So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people:
"Let it be told to the future world … that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive … that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."
America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.
But along the way there was too much grit, a little too much campaign speak, and not enough of what he actually called for: an embrace of his opponents, or their views, or concerns. It is never a good idea to use "electric grid" in an Inaugural speech. Why? Because he brings you down to a pedestrian level, mixing the mood, and leaves you wondering just where we are going.
In the end, however, the moment was larger than the speech. It is good to have it behind us and let it serve as a reminder that words get you so far. The rest is in doing.

Nash: Good news for those of us bugged by bugs
I know it's springtime, not because of the green hills and blooming wildflowers, but because of the bugs. They're back, and I hate them.
It's not that the little critters have ever done anything bad to me — well, except bite me and suck my blood, buzz around my ears and do who knows what in my picnic food. It's just that it's hard to enjoy Mother Nature's beauty when you know mosquitoes are lurking.
I simply have no tolerance for bugs. It always amazes me when I'm talking to someone and a fly lands on his or her arm, and he or she doesn't even seem to notice. When a fly lands on my arm, it's like I've been hit with a stun gun.
I slap and wave and try to smash it or chase it away, usually without effect.
I've gotten to the point where I'm beginning to believe the bugs like that little game. I swing and miss as they buzz around me, and I almost think I can hear them laughing, taunting me.
In the sense that the best defense is a good offense, I keep fly swatters stashed strategically throughout my home. When an invader is detected, I grab a fly swatter and chase it, D'Artangan-like, through the house, thrusting and parrying in an attempt to send it to insect heaven. This is more a matter of exercise than pest eradication because my reflexes don't seem to be up to the task. As a result, I'm constantly looking for more effective methods.
I tried citronella candles but, frankly, they're both a poor insect repellent and a lousy candle, so I continued the search.
Pesticide sprays are effective if you can persuade the bug to fly into the mist. For me, the sprays work more like an aerosol fly swatter as I chase insects through the house, spraying as I go, and inhaling more of the fog than the insect does. Fortunately, I'm bigger than the bug, so it doesn't kill me, it just encourages me to give up the chase.
Now though, the playing field may be leveling. Stories in the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere are reporting that astrophysicist Jordin Kare, formerly employed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has developed a laser that specifically targets mosquitoes.
The actual goal is to eliminate malaria, which is often transmitted by mosquitoes. But, if mosquitoes are wiped out in the process, it becomes a win-win.
I'm not sure how the laser differentiates mosquitoes from other blood-sucking organisms, like bill collectors, but the hope is that, eventually, a laser barrier could be used around a home or village to destroy the mosquitoes.
My guess is, my wife wouldn't let me use a laser in the house and, truthfully, that's probably prudent. Which means I'll have to stay with the tried and true, and largely ineffective, methods I already employ.
Because my current efforts pale in comparison to what I could do with a laser, I couldn't help being a little wistful as I read the Wall Street Journal's description of the laser's effect:
"A mosquito hovers into view. Suddenly it bursts into flame. A thin plume of smoke rises as the mosquito falls. At the bottom of the screen, the carcass smolders."
That sure beats a fly swatter. It sounds a little apocalyptic, especially for the mosquito, but since malaria still kills about 1 million people every year, strong measures are called for. If it makes my backyard a little more comfortable in the process, so be it.

Miami Beach Area Map
Getting To & Around Miami Beach
Miami Beach Neighborhoods
Miami Beach is a 20-square-mile barrier island that is separated from the mainland by the Biscayne Bay. Several causeways connect the two.
South Beach
From celebrity models to senior citizens and families with kids, the South Beach area is the most well-known, popular and busy part of the city. Three main roads run parallel to the shoreline. The hotels and trendy restaurants of touristy Ocean Drive are closest to the water, meanwhile the northern part of Ocean Drive is known as the Art Deco District for its distinctively pastel-painted hotels, nightclubs and retail shops. To its west is Collins Avenue (or State Road A1A), home to a range of more affordable hotels and a large collection of high-end shopping spots. The largest and most popular nightclubs are located farther west along noisy Washington Avenue.
Intersecting Washington Avenue between 14th and 15th streets is the Espanola Way Historic District. A historically Spanish village, the small area is filled with shops and restaurants housed in Mediterranean-style buildings from the early 20th century. Espanola's southwest neighbor, Flamingo Park, has plenty of green space for walking and tennis and basketball courts for those who want to work up a sweat, as well as a playground for the kids.
North Shore
Miami Beach's North Shore -- located along Collins Avenue -- features a comparatively quieter and less chaotic coast. The main feature here is the North Shore Open Space Park, which has clean beachfront and green space.
Farther north along Collins Avenue are several other neighborhoods, such as Surfside, which have a distinctly quieter and more family-friendly feel with fewer parties. The accommodations here are also a bit more cost-effective. Sandwiched between Surfside and Sunny Isles is the Bal Harbour suburb, which is best known for its exclusive gated communities and posh open-air shopping mall.
Sunny Isles Beach
If you're looking to avoid the crazy crowds of South Beach, head about 10 miles north along Collins Avenue (Route 1A) to Sunny Isles Beach. Sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracostal Waterway, this small town makes a great day trip -- or even a great home base -- for Miami Beach visitors.
Although Sunny Isles Beach is often overlooked by Miami and Miami Beach travelers, this tiny town has plenty to offer. Its golden stretches of shoreline beckon to sun-seekers, while a variety of local and chain eateries are sure to satisfy any appetite. Swingers can aim for par at nearby Greynolds Golf Course; history buffs can head to the Ancient Spanish Monastery (constructed in the 12th century); and the kiddies can cool down at Samson Ocean Front Park. And although the nightlife isn't as reputed as it may be in South Beach, night owls will have no trouble finding ways to occupy themselves through the wee hours of the morning. But the party doesn't always stop at sunrise: To see a livelier side of Sunny Isles Beach, visit in October during the vibrant Sunny Isles Beach Jazz Festival.
Miami Beach is generally a safe city for visitors. However, as with most major tourist destinations, pickpocketing is the biggest concern, particularly during the chaotic nighttime and along busy Washington Street. Be sure to walk in groups at night and avoid any unfamiliar territory. If you have a car in town, keep valuables hidden so your car is not made a target for a theft.
When swimming, stay near a lifeguard station and watch for the flags, a system that follows the same pattern for beaches across the state. Green means the water is calm, while orange signals some moderate surf conditions. Purple signifies the presence of marine animals like jellyfish. Note that you are forbidden from entering the water when a red flag is raised.
The best way to get around Miami Beach is on foot. South Beach is especially pedestrian-friendly, and how are you going to people-watch or get a tan if you're in a car? Another option, bikes, can be rented from a number of vendors. Just be sure to pack or purchase a strong lock as bicycle theft tends to be a problem. Driving will bring headaches, particularly when parking is limited at peak hours. If your feet begin to cramp, there are buses run by Miami-Dade Transit. The city buses are reportedly unreliable, but the SoBe Local is ultra convenient and cheap. Still, hailing the occasional cab rather than waiting at a bus stop is preferred. You'll probably also use a cab to get from the Miami International Airport (MIA) to town.Getting To & Around Miami Beach»

Inside the Pro Bowl: The Location
You will witness some of the best players in the National Football League in the NFL Pro Bowl. Join us for the 2015 Pro Bowl, official parties, activities, and more!
Destination: Arizona | University of Phoenix Stadium
Address: 1 Cardinals Dr, Glendale, AZ 85305
From the desert floor to the highest mountain peak, Arizona's renowned sunshine ensures that nearly every day is a perfect one for sightseeing, playing golf, skiing a slope, or simply relaxing by a sparkling swimming pool. Generally, peak season in the desert lasts from January through March, which coincides perfectly with the timing of the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl!
Historic Downtown Glendale has been named by USA Today & Sunset Magazine as one of the country's ten best places for shopping. Historic Downtown Glendale is actually two neighborhoods - Historic Catlin Court with its white picket fences and mature shade trees welcoming visitors to the bungalows-turned-specialty shops, Old Towne boasting brick-trimmed sidewalks and glowing gaslights leading the way to the famous antique stores and ethnic eateries.
If you're looking for more to do while visiting the Pro Bowl, travel just 9 miles away to Phoenix, Arizona. America's sixth-largest city still has real cowboys and rugged mountains and the kind of cactus most people see only in cartoons. Phoenix is the gateway to the Grand Canyon, and its history is a testament to the spirit of puebloans, ranchers, miners and visionaries.
Projected against this rich backdrop is a panorama of urban sophistication: Resorts and spas that drop jaws and soothe souls. Stadiums and arenas worthy of the world's biggest sports spectacles. Restaurants with inspired cuisine and inspiring patio views. Golf courses that beckon players the year round. Shopping centers as stylish and eclectic as the fashions they house.
