Aquarius at Santa Cruz's Dream Inn
Spent a couple of nights at the Dream Inn and decided to leave the car and try their new oceanside restaurant.
Open and airy, contemporary and fresh the decor was fitting of the style of the hotel. Every table has a fantastic view of the Pier and beach. Service was personable and professional. We had not a single complaint.
We been advised that Ahi Nicoise and the Hanger Steak were their best dishes so we went for it. Started off with a mezze plate that had hummus, tzatziki and olive tapenade. Perfect with lightly toasted flatbread. The beet salad had roasted Candystripe Beets, pt. reyes goat cheese with micro greens, grilled lettuce enhanced the Caesar and but it was the fresh tomato soup during heirloom season that was out of this world.
The entrees were prepared just right. Perfectly cooked. Interesting preparations matched with both soft and crunchy textures to add to the ahi and steak (tapenade and beans respectively). We shared back in forth and had the best of both worlds.
I believe menu items were local, organic and sustainable and
"Aquarius proudly follows the guidelines of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program."
Prices were in the higher range but not outlandish for the caliber of venue in this area. Entrees ranged from $17 - 27 with a "surf and turf" dish that was $38 but it was plenty big and rich enough for 2 people to split.
We skipped desert in favor a walk to the boardwalk for a ride on the big dipper and a choc dipped ice cream cone.
Don't mean to gush but we really had a great night and feel it's a good addition to the Santa Cruz dining scene.
Thanks for what I think is the first CH report on Aquarius! Glad to hear that the kitchen is executing well even though it's pretty new and that they have some seasonal influences on the menu. I'll probably test it out w/ a drink and some apps once tourist season dies down. Was it crowded when you went and would you recommend the Dream Inn? Did you try any of their cocktails or anything from the wine list?
I just viewed their website, and the brunch menu looks good. Would like to try their chowder, lobster roll, burger, and general seafood offerings. Will have to not forget about this place since I rarely go down to the wharf as a local.

Surviving Aitutaki
AITUTAKI, Cook Islands – I've been to Aitutaki before, a few times … though I have to admit that sometimes these South Pacific islands have a tendency to run together. Attu, Tahaa, Raiatea, Raratonga, all covered with lush green mountains, simple cement docks serving as welcome mats, a fringe of coconut palms paralleling a solitary ring road circling, sometimes it's hard for my feebling memory to keep them all straight. Aitutaki I remember best from gray days, its welcome veranda – metal posts, faux palm roof – filled with young boys and girls dancing, practicing. I remember it too for its "starring" role in the "Survivor" series, which came here a few years back, camped out for six-plus months, the best thing to ever happen to the place economically.
I've seen "Survivor" impact on other islands. A crew of one hundred moves onto the island, often building its own living quarters, docks and marinas. They bring a fleet of small pickup trucks, speedboats and bulldozers. Much of which get left behind. They employ dozens, treating them well and paying them U.S.-television rates (about thirty times what the local fishermen were making spending ten hours a day in their mahi-mahi boats, harpoon in hand), spoiling them for those inevitable days post-"Survivor."
Under a shore side tent a New Zealand woman – the Cook's lean distinctly Kiwi, not French – remembers the "Survivor" crew's coming … and going. "It left a lot of people more or less distraught. When they were here filming, there was big action everyday. Boats racing back and forth, people coming and going, money being spent. And then … one day … they were gone. They left boats and trucks and houses behind. But no more action, no more money."
The first Polynesians settled here in 800, led by a voyager named Ru, who named it Utataki Enua O Ru Ki Te Moana ("the leading of the cargo people by Ru over the ocean" or "where Ru turned his back on the sea"); the first westerner to stop was Captain William Bligh, 1789, just seventeen days before his infamous mutiny – he would return three years later, searching for the men who had cast him adrift.
It's a wild and rough day in the South Pacific, three to four meter swells under a deceivingly blue and unadulterated sky. It's easy when the ocean here is living up to its name to be lulled into believing the entire Pacific region is ruled by calm. Days like this are reminders that wildness is far more common. Watching the wild, sun-drenched seas from a brand new cement porch built by and for the local fishing co-op, constructed super strong against the potential of tsunami and other storm waves, I wonder what Captain James Cook would have made of "Survivor."
I marvel often about how many times my route around the world has crossed Cook's path; that dude was truly a wanderer. On so many islands I've stopped at I've been greeted by welcome signs – made of bamboo, surrounded with half clam shells – detailing the historic arrival of Cook and gang.
Cook's first assignment, in 1768, from the Royal Society in London, was to sail the Pacific Ocean tracing the transit of Venus across the sun – a task more scientific than economic. After rounding Cape Horn he made it to Tahiti for the first time on April 13, 1769, where the observations were to be made. Unfortunately the astronomer he carried with him was not up to the task and the mission was a failure. Over the next few years Cook criss-crossed the Pacific several times all the while keeping his southern eye open for a place we both have an affection for, then known as Terra Incognito Australis. Antarctica. While Cook never fully found Antarctica – spying large icebergs he confused with the continent – he got closer than anyone before.
His complete mapping of the Pacific left little for future expeditions; he died ignominiously in Hawaii, due to either cultural arrogance or confused i.d., dependent on which story you prefer/believe. Maybe Cook would have liked "Survivor"; certainly he would have much preferred being judged by some kind of tribal council than a bunch of Hawaiian tough guys swinging heavy war-sticks.

Letting agents fraud case dismissed after thousands are returned
Posted: December 07, 2012|
THE case against three lettings agency bosses accused of fraud has been dropped after they returned thousands of pounds in deposits to landlords.
Toni, Jacqueline and Kayleigh Burridge, formerly directors of Hothomes UK Ltd, were accused of falsely claiming that deposits were guaranteed in a secure bank account.
The trio had allegedly claimed the company was part of a registered deposit protection scheme so money would be returned if the firm was liquidated.
Toni, aged 41, Jacqueline, aged 41, and Kayleigh Burridge, aged 20, all of Collingwood Villas in Stoke, had each denied a joint charge of fraud by false representation between October 31 2010 and July 1 last year.
They were due to go on trial before Plymouth Crown Court later this month.
But Alistair Verheijen, for the Crown Prosecution Service, offered no evidence on the charge.
Recorder Michael Hubbard dismissed the case.
Mr Verheijen said the family had handed back about £3,500 to the police, which would be returned to the landlords.
He added resident judge Paul Darlow had asked the CPS to reconsider the case.
Mr Verheijen said: "If the lost deposits are repaid the Crown cannot see the public interest in proceeding with the case."
The Burridges were not in court.
Magistrates were told at a previous hearing that deposits paid to the agency should have been maintained in a separate bank account.
Prosecutors said if the business failed the deposits could be returned and would not go to other creditors.
The Herald reported that Hothomes UK closed its offices in Stoke village in July last year.
It had opened there for business only in the previous August.
The Westcountry Landlords Association immediately raised fears about rent payments and deposits.
Hothomes was thought to have employed about eight people and did business in residential and commercial sales, conveyancing, financial services and producing Energy Performance Certificates.
The Burridge family, which moved to Plymouth from North Devon in 1998,
started a business producing EPCs in Stoke, in 2007.
A year later they started a business
producing more than 100 Home Information Packs (HIPs) a week.
But two years ago the Government scrapped HIPs, causing the business to close. The family then started Hothomes.

I was put on this about a year and a half ago by my dermatologist. After a couple of months my skin began to clear up really well. So that was good! I never had any side effects whatsoever. My only problem is having to take it 1 hour prior to a meal or 2 hours after a meal, its really difficult due to my busy student schedule! Other than that I really like the way my skin looks. Due take it how it ... Show Full Comment
Reviewer: 45-54 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month
Ease of Use
After taking minocycline for two days (2 doses), my child thought he was going insane - baffling hours of crying, out of body experiences. It took 5-7 days to get the drug out of his system. He will NEVER try another acne oral medication again due to this experience. In fact, he said he would rather have acne than feel like he was going crazy.

I was prescribed this antibotic for the treatment of acne. After 2 days of use, I became depressed and after 4 days of use I was suicidal. I discontinued the antibotic and was 90% better within a couple of days.. Use caution on this medication!

When it comes to B2B tech companies that have actually been successful on Pinterest, Constant Contact, a leading provider of online marketing tools for small business, has been something of a leader.
Pinterest isn't an easy thing to master for B2B tech companies – before, we've mentioned that image networks definitely need a strategy before you try them out.
Constant Contact has managed to do just that, with some great success. After a little over a year, the company has 6,000 followers and Pinterest has become the second biggest driver of traffic to its website, right behind the company's Facebook Page (which has over 80,000 Likes).
My colleague, Blaise, recently had the opportunity to speak with Corporate Community Manager Danielle Cormier about Constant Contact's Pinterest Page and whether the platform holds any real value for B2B tech companies. Senior Social Media Marketing Manager Erica Ayotte joined us later on, and had some great answers for Part 2 of the series.
1. At the end of 2012, 42 percent of B2B tech companies hadn't even tried Pinterest (Forrester). Why do you think that is?
Danielle: Most B2Bs can't envision how their services could be displayed on a social platform that's all about images. When your business is centered around non-tangible items, it's harder to readjust your marketing.

2. When did you launch Constant Contact's Pinterest Page? Did you run into any barriers?
Danielle: I launched the Constant Contact Pinterest channel in January 2012. I knew there was plenty of visual B2B content we could show off, such as infographics, statistics and charts, as well as images of our offices, staff and some business-related cartoons.
I also wanted to use our channel as a content hub and a way to organize the content from our blog. I aimed to create boards that would serve as a landing page that one of our customers or social fans and followers would visit to browse all of our content about 'Social Media Best Practices' or Event Marketing, etc.
Another reason that motivated me to start our Pinterest channel was the SEO value it would provide.
3. How do you keep coming up with new images? What are some of the things people can find on the Page?
Danielle: I have a pretty extensive Google Reader (well, now I use Feedly) and our content team is continuously producing new guides and blog posts, so I use that content to add to our channel.
I tend to create boards that feature content about current 'hot topics' in marketing, and I also look at the downloadable guides we produce and turn them into Pinterest boards. I break down the guide into several images and upload them to one board, like I did with 12 Awesome Facebook Marketing Campaigns.
4. Which kinds of images generate more engagement than others?
Danielle: Motivational quotes and 'funny' images hands-down get the most repins! Our most-pinned post was a motivational one. It got 550+ repins that tallied over 20,000 repins in total, as people repinned it from other boards.
5. What kind of results are you looking for from your Pinterest Page? Have you seen any increased traffic or leads from pins?
Danielle: We're looking to increase traffic back to our website and blog, and position ourselves as a 'thought-leader' in the email marketing/small business marketing community. We use it as a place to:
- Show off our newest email templates
- Rank higher in the Search Engine Results Page (SERP), helping our new content and blog posts become indexed faster
- 'Humanize' our brand
Erica: We've definitely seen an increase in website referrals from Pinterest as our presence on the platform has grown. It's also one of the top natural search results on our brand term. Because we aren't retail-focused (B2B software is a longer, more complicated sale than say, retail) we're not tracking direct sales from Pinterest yet. But it's definitely great for branding and visibility.
Getting into the Details
With some ideas on how to use Pinterest, B2B tech companies are probably still wondering about the details: how do Pinterest analytics work? What are the most useful social media networks for B2B tech companies?
Check out these answers and more in "Is Pinterest Pointless for B2B Tech Companies? (Part 2)."

But it can be challenging to grow your group and get the people you want to join and participate in the discussions.
We asked the pros to share their best tips to grow your LinkedIn groups.
Follow these tips and you'll find it easier to create the type of community you're looking for.
#1: Use Email to Send Invitations That Convert
You'll need to send out invitations to get your contacts to join your LinkedIn group and LinkedIn has a form for you to do this.
The default LinkedIn message that's sent when you fill out the form below is: "Subject: Name invites you to join Group" and "Welcome Message: I would like to invite you to join my group on LinkedIn." Unfortunately this has about 1% chance of getting someone to your group.
How to Setup Social Media Discussion Groups for Business
Is networking a big part of your job or business?
Have you participated in or considered starting a discussion group?
The good news is LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+ all offer options.
In this post, we're going to look at how social media groups work for businesses and how you can benefit from them as both an owner and a participant.
#1: Google+ Communities
Let's start with the newest kid on the block for social media groups: Google+ communities. When Google+ launched communities in December 2012, they grew at lightning speed. You can now find thousands of communities that cover every topic.
Benefits as a Member
One of the nice parts about Google+ communities is that you can participate in them using your personal profile or your business page—an option you won't find on any other social network. This means that you can build your business's authority on a particular topic within communities.
4 Ways to Use Social Media to Generate Leads
Do you use social media to generate inbound leads for your business?
Are you unsure about where and how to focus your efforts to meet your lead generation goals?
According to HubSpot's Inbound Marketing Annual Report, social media produces almost double the marketing leads of trade shows, telemarketing, direct mail or PPC.
If you're starting a lead generation campaign, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ are all excellent places to begin, but knowing how to pull leads from the conversations that happen on these platforms takes some knowledge and practice.
In this article, I'll share 4 ways you can use social media to generate inbound marketing leads for your business.
#1: Twitter Chats
Twitter chats are frequently scheduled discussions hosted by a Twitter account. Each chat uses a particular hashtag so that other Twitter users can follow the conversation even though topics change with each discussion.
Because of the focused audience communities that participate in Twitter chats, they are a great place to generate leads for your business.
How to Network Using LinkedIn Groups
Are you a member of a LinkedIn Group?
Do you spend time networking in LinkedIn Groups?
LinkedIn Groups are great way to build credibility and make new connections that can ultimately help grow your business.
With over 1.5 million LinkedIn Groups, it can be difficult to find relevant Groups and determine which ones might be the best for you to join. It's also important to find Groups that are well-managed.
Unfortunately there are many LinkedIn Groups that are not well-managed, which makes the experience within these Groups less than optimal.
Not to worry, I'm going to give you some insights on how to find the quality groups you can leverage most for your LinkedIn strategy!
7 Ways to Improve Your Social Media Engagement
Is your company's social media as stale as last month's bread?
Would you like to get more people-to-people interaction and begin a real conversation with your audience on social media?
No matter your company's industry or size, you can encourage these deeper connections and improve your social media engagement.
Here are some tips to help you encourage people-to-people interaction, whether you are on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Foursquare or Instagram.
#1: Use Facebook to Highlight Employees and Reach Out to Fans
Your company is only as good as your hardworking employees—so don't be afraid to highlight them.
SEOmoz uses Facebook photo albums to highlight their employees.
The SEOmoz Facebook Page does an excellent job of this. Two examples in particular really jump out.
The "Then and Now" photo album: Employees provided photos from their youth along with recent photos of themselves. This is a great way to show fans the human side of SEOmoz. Plus, the baby pictures are adorable.
The "What are Mozzers listening to?" photo album: All it took was snapping photos of employees with their headphones on and asking them what they were listening to. The result is an inside look at company culture.
How to Boost Engagement on Your LinkedIn Company Page
Are you leveraging your LinkedIn Company Page as best you can?
In a recent LinkedIn study, 50% of current company followers stated they are more likely to purchase products and services from a business they engage with on LinkedIn.
This means that an active LinkedIn presence could help your business. And you'll likely want to improve engagement on LinkedIn.
Here are five simple ways to boost engagement with your LinkedIn followers.
#1: Leverage LinkedIn Groups to Find Engaging Content for Company Followers
Aside from studying what your competitors are doing on LinkedIn, you should spend time in the groups where your target market is engaging. You'll want to find out what interests them there.
8 Ways to Get More Leads for Your Business on LinkedIn
Do you want to acquire more traffic and leads from LinkedIn?
According to Experian Marketing Services, LinkedIn received 94M total U.S. visits in December 2012, an increase of 40% in traffic compared to December 2011.
So, whether you're a B2B and/or B2C company, now is a great time to start leveraging LinkedIn to find and attract your target market.
Here are 8 ways to attract high-quality leads with LinkedIn.
#1: Add a Strong Call to Action and Link
Did you know you can add custom banners to your company page for free? And did you know each of these banners can link back to your site?
You can add up to three different linkable product banners (646 pixels x 222 pixels) to the Products & Services section of your company profile. This is a great way to funnel LinkedIn traffic to a webinar, case study or other type of targeted landing page.
Many businesses are missing this opportunity. If prospective clients make an effort to visit your Products & Services section, you should provide a simple way for them to contact you by linking to your site or targeted landing page with your banner.

Understanding a few simple strategies that can help you become a smarter and more effective marketer can really boost your results over time.
Here are 5 high-impact strategies to boost your marketing results on LinkedIn.
#1: Review and Reboot Your LinkedIn Profile… Frequently
Most recently, LinkedIn made some major changes both to personal profiles and company pages. For a comprehensive review of the most recent updates, visit this post to learn more about how to optimize your LinkedIn profile and company page.
In addition to making sure that you adjust to the changes in your profile layout and features, it's a good idea to "reboot" your profile from time to time. I tend to reboot my profile every couple of months or so to keep it fresh, relevant and interesting.
Each time you update your profile, the update is shared to your network as long as you have this feature enabled in your settings.

Only 65.4 percent of graduates are working as lawyers, which is defined as jobs that require them to pass the bar exam, the study found. That's down from 82.3 percent in 2007, and it's the lowest percentage NALP has ever measured in the 38 years of its studies. Less than half of graduates have jobs in private practice -- the lowest number since 1975. Of those working for law firms, just 16.2 percent of graduates are working for firms with more than 500 lawyers. That's down from more than a quarter of the Class of 2008. Meanwhile, 42.9 percent of graduates in private practice work for firms with two to ten lawyers -- up 11 percentage points in the last three years. And almost 12 percent of the Class of 2011 are working in part-time jobs -- about double the number recorded prior to the start of the Great Recession in 2008.
While the job market may improve modestly in coming years, NALP doesn't expect a significant rebound. NALP Executive Director James Leipold says, quote, there is nothing to indicate a rapid recovery or a likely return to pre-recession employment levels any time in the near future.

Civic Center, Pirates reach 'only deal to be made'
PORTLAND — It wasn't a power play, but both the Cumberland County Civic Center and its anchor tenant, the Portland Pirates professional hockey team, "lit the light" when they struck a leasing deal last week.
After more than 20 meetings, the Civic Center and the Pirates announced April 17 that an agreement on the lease had been reached. It calls for the team to play at the arena for another five years, with the potential of a five-year extension.
For months, the parties have struggled to agree.
Officials for the Civic Center, in the midst of a $33 million renovation, have said that the Pirates' post-season play will delay this month's planned start of the massive, second phase of the project until June. As a result, the renovation probably won't be finished until January.
The Pirates have complained that the team should get a percentage of revenue from concession sales, and that uncertainty over the lease has prevented the team from marketing tickets for the 2013-2014 season.
But with the essential terms of the lease now in place, both the Civic Center and the Pirates are ready to move forward, said Neal Pratt, chairman of the Civic Center board of trustees.
"It took a long time to find common ground," Pratt said Monday, "but I think both sides are pleased. This was the only deal to be made ... both sides had gone as far as they could go."
Brian Petrovek, managing owner of the Pirates, said Monday that he was "very pleased" with the agreement.
"This was all about finding an equation that worked for the Civic Center and the Pirates. ... (The agreement) will give both parties a chance to break even."
While the new lease still has to be drawn up and signed, last week's agreement ironed out the major differences.
For the first time, the Pirates will get a share – 57.5 percent – of the profits from concession sales during home games. That amounts to about $350,000 each season, according to the team.
But the Civic Center's concession on concessions is offset by money it will receive from the sale of advertising inside the arena, a revenue stream the Pirates previously controlled.
In addition, the team's rent has been reduced from $2,500 per game to $1,000. But the new amount is a fixed, flat fee, while the previous rent was sometimes reduced by rebates the Civic Center gave the Pirates based on game attendance.
Renaming rights for the arena were hotly contested during the negotiations, with both parties vying for the revenue from selling the name and brand of the "new" Civic Center to a third party. That's a common marketing technique; in Bangor, Cross Insurance Agency recently paid $3 million for the right to brand the city's new arena as the Cross Insurance Center.
Ultimately, the Civic Center retained the rights.
"(Renaming) was a deal-breaker from the beginning," Pratt said, "but we didn't waver one iota."
The Pirates will play all of their 2013-2014 home games in the Civic Center under the new agreement. Previously, the team had planned to play some of its home schedule at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston. In addition, the agreement calls for sharing labor costs at home games.
The Civic Center's renovation raised the stakes in the negotiations, creating greater unknowns for both sides, according to Petrovek.
"So much of this was based on assumptions, especially because we're moving into a new territory, with different costs and different revenue opportunities," he said.
But both Pratt and Petrovek said they are relieved and happy the bargaining is over, and that both sides came out with important gains.
"Both parties worked to find a solution that was sustainable," Petrovek said. "We've been patient in hopes that this day would come, and we feel good."
Pratt said the Civic Center's goal was to break even and not impose a burden on taxpayers.
"I think we achieved that," he said. "... Nobody on either side gave away the store."

(WBIR - Knoxville) "I believe that this event will be the event of the decade."
At the time of its announcement, The Jackson Brothers' "Victory Tour" was hailed as one of the biggest concert events East Tennessee had ever seen.
The tour stopped in Knoxville in August 1984. There were three concerts on back-to-back nights at Neyland Stadium and the prep work took weeks. The stage sprawled across Neyland's field and stood more than five stories high.
With just a few days to go before the first concert, word came from New York that Knoxville tour dates had been canceled. Before the day ended, that cancellation was canceled, and the Knoxville appearance by The Jacksons was back on.
Memories made during the three-night event are still vivid in the minds of many East Tennessee and nearly three decades later, still remain one of your "Straight from the Heart" Moments.

Patriots, Raiders selects quarterbacks; Panthers take two
The only two quarterbacks chosen on the second day of the NFL draft Friday have a lot to emulate.
Derek Carr's guiding light has been older brother David, the top overall pick in the 2002 draft. Jimmy Garoppolo's favorite player has been Tom Brady, the 199th selection in 2000.
The problem for Carr, taken fourth in the second round by Oakland, is that David was only mediocre as a pro. The issue for Garoppolo, chosen 62nd overall by New England, is, well, can anyone really live up to Brady's career?
"I learned everything that he did right and everything that he did wrong," Derek Carr said of David, 11 years his elder. "He told me that if he could do anything, he hopes he made the path smoother for me as I transition into the NFL."
The two were among dozens of picks made Friday as the NFL draft wrapped up Rounds 2 and 3 at Radio City Music Hall. The first day shattered all-time television viewership records and fed a roaring crowd, but the second day was more subdued.
Carr's older brother, David, was the first player ever taken by the Houston Texans. Derek, who also went to Fresno State and, like his elder brother enters the league with a wife and child, went 36th overall.
In other picks Friday:
— The Texans selected UCLA guard Xavier Su'a-Filo, who joins the first overall pick, defensive disrupter Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina, in Houston. The two of them can have fun colliding against each other in minicamps and training camp. The 6-foot-4, 307-pound Su'a-Filo, who went on a Mormon mission while in college, also has played tackle.
— The Cowboys took Boise State defensive end Demarcus Lawrence, who they hope will emulate their departed sacks leader with the same first name, DeMarcus Ware, now with Denver. "I'm my own Demarcus," Lawrence said. "I don't like to try to be nobody else. I'm going to be me, and I'm going to do it well."
— Cleveland, more active than any team in the first round, added a protector for Johnny Manziel by grabbing guard Joel Bitonio of Nevada, who also can play tackle or center. The Browns caused the biggest stir on opening night when they traded up to No. 22 to get Johnny Football. Cleveland did not choose any receivers even though Josh Gordon is reportedly facing suspension by the NFL for violating the league's drug policy again. Gordon was suspended for the first two games of 2013, but still led the league with 1,646 yards receiving in 14 games.
— After Washington selected Virginia tackle Morgan Moses, who was on hand at the draft, with the 66th pick, Moses joked: "I thought my phone was broken." Several mock drafts had Moses going in the first round.
— It took 54 selections, a draft record, for a running back to go. Bishop Sankey of Washington was chosen by the Titans, who cut Chris Johnson this spring. Two more went in the next three selections: Jeremy Hill of LSU to Cincinnati, and Carlos Hyde of Ohio State to San Francisco. Heisman Trophy finalist Tre Mason went 75th overall to St. Louis.
— A total of 39 early entrants have been selected so far, 25 on Friday. Altogether, there were a record 102 early entrants this year. College powerhouses Oklahoma, Texas and Georgia did not have anyone chosen in the first three rounds.
Panthers take Ealy, Turner on Day 2
CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers went for the best player available rather than need on the second day of the NFL draft.
The Panthers ignored more pressing needs at wide receiver and offensive tackle, instead selecting defensive end Kony Ealy from Missouri in the second round and guard Trai Turner in the third round.
The 6-foot-4, 273-pound Ealy started 25 games and had 14 sacks during his three seasons at Missouri. As a senior he had 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks.
The Panthers led the NFL with 60 sacks last season and have two established starting defensive ends in Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy, the team's designated franchise player.
That didn't matter to general manager Dave Gettleman.
Gettleman said before the draft if there was a "blue goose pass rusher" on the board he wouldn't hesitate to draft him.
The move is a bit of a surprise considering the Panthers had bigger needs at offensive tackle and cornerback in the second round.
Ealy is considered a multi-talented defensive end with a reputation for being an effective pass rusher and playing stout against the run at the point of attack.
He also has enough speed to drop into coverage if needed.
A teammate of Michael Sam, Ealy became a full-time starter in 2012 and went on to earn All-Southeastern Conference first-team honors this past season. Ealy finished 2013 strong, registering six tackles, two sacks and one pass deflection against Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl.
The Panthers have some young depth on the roster in Wes Horton and Mario Addison. However, another backup Frank Alexander was suspended by the NFL for the first four games of this season for violating the substance abuse policy.
Ealy said he wasn't disappointed that he's coming to a team with two established defensive ends. In fact, quite the opposite, saying it will give him a chance to learn the tricks of the trade.
"I'm not disappointed at all, because if they feel like they need me to play in the middle or come in and back somebody up that's fine," Ealy said.
Ealy played defensive end in Missouri's base defense, but moved inside on third down situations. He expects to do the same in Carolina.
Ealy said he's been working with former Atlanta Falcons and Panthers defensive end Chuck Smith this offseason to improve his footwork and his explosiveness off the line of scrimmage.
"I try to utilize my speed, my strength and my power," Ealy said.
At some point Ealy could be a potential long-term replacement for Johnson or Hardy, two high-priced players who'll count more than $29 million under this year's salary cap.
Hardy is only under contract for this season at the franchise tag rate of $13.116 million.
Johnson signed a six-year $72 million contract in 2011 — the richest ever handed out to a Carolina player — and is due to cost $17.42 million under the salary cap next season. If the Panthers were to release Johnson next year the team would save about half of that money under the cap.
The 6-3, 310-pound Turner started 20 games for LSU, including 13 last season. He had 115 career knockdowns before deciding to leave school a year early.
An NFL.com analysis said Turner plays with good overall body mass and walls off defenders and generates movement in the run game.
"I'm physical and able to overpower defensive tackles and also able to finesse and get up to the second level of the defense," Turner said.
The Panthers are hoping Turner provides some stability at guard.
Carolina lost four guards to season-ending injuries last season — Amini Silatolu, Garry Williams, Jeff Byers and 2013 fourth-round draft pick Edmund Kugbila. Complicating matters, veterans Geoff Hangartner and Byers retired this offseason and free agent Travelle Wharton isn't expected to re-sign.

Via Twitter, National Journal's editor-in-chief, Ron Fournier, covered the spine of Monday night's address by President Obama. Here are his insights, in the social media's trademark abbreviated form:
Obama promises to explain "what we have done, what we plan to do, and why this matters to us."
Does he deliver?
On the first promise, yes: Obama spends much of speech describing action taken in detail
In just one month, U.S. has mobilized a coalition, stopped an advancing army and prevented "a massacre," Obama says
Patting himself on the back a bit, the president noted that in the 1990s, it took "more than a year to intervene" in Bosnia
He also noted that he has promised to limit U.S. military operations, and that on Libya he promised no ground troops.
"Tonight," the president said, "we are fulfilling that pledge."
On the speech's second promise, Obama also outlined "what we plan to do ..."
He vowed to consult with allies and "continue to pursue the broader goal of a Libya that belongs not to a dictator, but to its people."
That is a wide-open and ambitious goal, maybe a scary one to some.
The most interesting part of the speech might be that third thing he promised to explain: "Why this matters to us."
Obama seems to cast the action as mainly a humanitarian one.
He draws a contrast to military action aimed at striking terrorists who directly threaten the U.S.
"That is why we continue to fight in Afghanistan, even as we have ended our combat mission in Iraq," he said,
"and removed more than 100,000 troops from that country."
And then we heard what may be an emerging Obama doctrine:
"There will be times, though," Obama says, "when our safety is not directly threatened, but our interests and values are."
Our interests and values? He put meat on those bones: "Sometimes, the course of history poses challenges that threaten our common humanity
... and common security."
Such as, responding to natural disasters, preventing genocide, ensuring regional security and maintaining the flow of commerce, he said.
"These may not be American problems alone," Obama said," but they are important to us, and they are problems worth solving."
What have we done? What do we plan to do? Why does this matter?
Agree or not with his answers, it would be hard to deny that Obama faced the questions pretty directly.
Good thing, too, because the answers in this troubled world aren't getting any easier.
Colleague Rebecca Kaplan points out two big questions not answered:
How much will it cost? Exactly how involved with US forces be?
Obama only said "the risk and cost of operations ... will be reduced significantly"
Okay, from what to what? How much will it cost? How many lives might be lost?

Frank's Turning 21!! | printable version
Frank turns 21 this week and all his friends had great plans to take him bar hopping. However, Frank does not drink at all. He has bad memories of my first marriage (his biological father drank too much) and Frank has always been adamantly against alcohol. I was concerned someone would try to slip him something so we warned him about that. I'm not sure why other 20-somethings feel the need to try to break Frank's resolve, especially since he has openly shared his reasoning with his friends and co-workers. Thankfully, the plans seem to have fallen apart and Frank is now planning a quiet evening with his girlfriend and close friends who respect his lifestyle decisions.
When I launched WritersWeekly so long ago, Frank was only five years old. Where have the years gone?! :)
This week's Masonism:
The other morning, Mason wanted to go outside immediately after he woke up because Caleb was by the pool. Still in his jammies, he opened the back door, took a step out, turned around, came right back in, and shut the door, saying, "It's too sunny for my eyes out there!"
Big hugs to all,
P.S. I want to "follow" you!

When we think about the startup life we're often occupied with visions of long days and late nights in the office and the all consuming passion that overtakes a life as someone takes a vision and turns it into reality. An entrepreneur certainly has many things that can easily engulf his or her life as they balance product creation, customer development, hiring, sales and financing, to name but a few. But what about the other side of the life equation? Entrepreneurs have families, friends, spouses, and partners who play an important role.
According to the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, a leading indicator of new business creation in the United States, men are "substantially more likely to start a business each month than women". In the seventeen year period from 1996 – 2012, the average rate of entrepreneurial activity for men was .37 percent; for women during the same period it was .23 percent.
Entrepreneurship is flourishing on campuses around the country. In classrooms and through co-curricular programs and competitions, students on diverse campuses, at universities large and small, representing disciplines across the spectrum, have the opportunity to understand the role of entrepreneurship in the economy, explore innovation, test their own ideas, and learn what they need to know to be entrepreneurs.
Our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman, once said: "It's your right to be uncommon if you can. You seek opportunity to compete. You desire to take calculated risk, to dream, to build, yes, even to fail, and to succeed". He was talking to entrepreneurs: those people who create new ventures, building visions into reality. Indeed, entrepreneurs are uncommon in many ways. They create something from nothing. They see problems (and solutions) that others might not. They take personal and financial risks.
Leaving presentations to chance is like embarking on a trip without a map (hat tip to Amanda Schnieders for the metaphor). If you don't know where you're headed and how you'll get there, you may not reach your destination.
Some of the very first decisions founders must make early on in their ventures are crucially important to the future of the business. Many of these decisions concern the ubiquitous "people problems" that challenge even experienced entrepreneurs. When should I found? Should I co-found with someone? With whom? How should we split the equity? Bad or ill-informed choices at critical junctures could have significant consequences for startups. In fact, research has suggested that 65 percent of new firm failures were related to problems within the management team.

text: I had the chance to watch RandyG play yesterday in casual play, he was playing with a personal cue which had a great report IMO, my being I'm a hard tip fan. Randy allowed me to hit a few ball, and still it had that nice, hard sound, even Sid with his less than exquisite stroke made a few balls in a row with it, BUT! in response to "what kinda tip you use Randy?", the answer was a medium Moori. It's bugged me since then why the report on all of my cues, using only Moori Quick tips, tip height on my regular play cue being basically about where Randy's Jerico tip was(semi short), and THAT "tink" sound isn't in my Woodworth w/Moori Quick, or my other array of cues. I suppose that the answer must be in the joint material or butt construction, or even as simple as a particular Moori M just being uniqie in itself. I had to ask here if I am wrong. I never expected that the medium tip could have sounded so sweet, compared to a hard tip. I play with an OB1 shaft, and that may have been of influence. TIA...sid

High Performance ProductsCommercial Windows
Glass is the most common and least understood material in the construction industry.
Selecting glass is one of the most important and far-reaching decisions in a commercial project. The choice impacts human comfort, energy efficiency, productivity and overall design aesthetics. It also affects mechanical HVAC design and loads, daylighting, interior condensation control, ultraviolet fading and sound control.
Please visit our Architectural Resource pages for the following:
- Placement & Orientation
- Certifications & Testing of Suspended Film Technology
- The Reliability & Durability of Suspended Film Glazing
- Advantages of Suspended Film
- Glazing Comparison
- Low E-Coatings
- Warranty
The Alpenglass family of high performance insulated glass products offers solutions to all glazing design challenges such as climate, elevation and application with unparalleled flexibility.
These high-performance products address the five principal glazing design challenges:
- Balancing winter comfort and heating load vs. summer comfort and cooling load
- Natural lighting
- Condensation control
- Ultraviolet fading control
- Appearance and reflectivity
With Alpenglass you can environmentally tune a building or storefront. You can also simultaneously optimize daylight transmittance and address solar gain concerns by using the appropriate spectrally selective films.
One of the most powerful uses of this technology is utilizing multiple Alpenglass types to meet specific design criteria.
