As much as diehard football fans love the defensive struggle, the 10-6 slugfest where every play can turn the game, let's be honest: football, more and more, is about scoring.
We've been over different offensive formations, from the zone-read to the Slot-T, but no matter how you score your points, the name of the game is getting them on the board. And even though we showed a little earlier this summer that scoring in high school football is relatively steady over the years, it's impossible to ignore one fact:
Four of the six highest-scoring games in Texas high school football history occurred last year.
It's true: entering the 2012 season, the bar for cracking the top five highest-scoring games in Texas high school football history was set at 140 points – then held down by San Augustine's 78-62 win over Hemphill in 2011.
Four times last year, we saw the 140-point mark broken by a game. Let's examine those games one by one, shall we?
September 21, 2012: Rogers 84, Mart 58 (142 points)
Now, here's the most amazing thing about this game: Rogers is a run-first squad. But when the Eagles' Slot-T ran wild for a whopping 783 yards – you read that correctly – you'll get some gaudy numbers. Brady Malovets ran for 368 yards and four scores, while Carson Skala ran for 279 and two scores of his own. And remember: this is against a Mart team that played for a state title later that same season! Quentin Bryant and DeNerian Thomas had huge games for the Panthers, but it was no match for the Eagles' rushing attack. (Spoiler alert: this won't be the last time we see them.
September 28, 2012: Friendswood 79, Galena Park 63 (142 points)
Friendswood only scored seven points in the first quarter, but boy, they sure turned it on in the final three frames of this one. The Mustangs rattled off 710 total yards, but really, there was one star of the show: QB Jordan Wood. The signal-caller threw for 122 yards and two scores…and ran for 401 yards and six touchdowns. Every time he carried the ball, he averaged 20 yards per carry! Not to be overlooked, Galena Park QB Darrow Adams put on his own show, throwing for 295 yards and five scores and adding 109 yards and two touchdowns on the ground to key a 681-yard attack. Ten players scored a touchdown in this one, now in the record books.
October 20, 2012: Rogers 76, Schulenburg 69 (OT)
Hey, remember Rogers from a little earlier? Told you they'd be back. The Eagles, believe it or not, trailed by 20 points in the first half, and they looked like they were going to be buried by QB Ross Bludau, who threw for seven touchdowns. But the Eagles clawed back behind Malovets and Skala, forcing overtime, scoring in the extra frame and – gasp! – getting a defensive stop for a critical win.
September 14, 2012: New Deal 89, Lamesa 70
Yes, the highest-scoring affair of the year – and the second-highest scoring game of all-time -- is a game you may not have even known about. What's amazing to me about this one is that the teams did it in different ways. For New Deal, it was all about the ground-and-pound, as RB V.J. Gamez racked 389 total yards and eight touchdowns. For Lamesa, it's was through the air: QB Kolt Moreland threw for 555 yards and eight touchdowns, as four different receivers – Brody Alexander, Ryan Garza, Jahalani Edwards and Ramon Arguelles – all topped 100 yards. In a game that had 1,291 yards of total offense, the Golden Tornadoes and the Lions entered Texas high school football lore.

Step 1: Passport (4 months before your trip)
Attention: For safety reasons, it is important to stash a photocopy of all important travel documents at home.
More information can be found at the link below.
Step 2: Purchase Plane Tickets (3 1/2 - 4 months before your trip)
WARNING: Prices are variable depending on location, time of purchase, and other factors beyond the typical person's control.
According to the New York Times, it is best to score a cheap flight approximately 21 to 22 weeks in advance. Examples of ways to purchase a ticket are:
- Booking through a travel agent
- Purchasing tickets online from an Internet-based travel website (e.g. Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, etc.)
- Ordering directly through an airline (e.g. United, British Airways, Lufthansa, etc.)
It is important NOT to purchase fares last minute. Fares are double what they were listed as a month prior, if purchased a week before the flight.
We also made a spreadsheet showing the exchange rate, forwards and backwards, in multiples of 10 and 100 each way, and laminated it for easy reference. It was sized to be the size of a credit card. It was dollars to rubles on one side and rubles to dollars the other. That made it easy to check the value of items you might also see at home.
No need to get US Dollars first if you don't live in USA. No need to find American embassies unless you are a US citizen.
Not all European countries use the same electrical outlets, so do some research before buying.

So I got to try this place via the Groupon deal they had. The guy on the phone was super nice and delivery was quick. I got the chickpea melt which was pretty damn good (bit too much red onion, which I normally like, but then you taste and smell like red onion the rest of the day), but overall a yummy sandwich with a tasty rosemary-esque paninni type of bread. Very good sandwich, but for almost 8 dollars, it should have come with the fries rather than me having to pay extra. Also had the sweet potato "fries" which were basically just cut up and roasted sweet potato pieces rather than "fries" per say. Also ok, but for $3.21 they could have added some seasoning or made them more crunchy....a sweet potato itself costs like 57 cents so i don't know why cutting it up and roasting it brings the price up to almost 4 bucks with tax. Anyway, finally I had the peanut butter chocolate shake which, I will admit, was wicked good and I would go back for that alone....IF it wasnt also almost SIX BLOODY DOLLARS!For a milkshake!!! So I guess what I'm trying to say is that while the taste of the food and the service make me want to come back (and Im actually kinda craving the food I had last time), and the service was really really nice, unfortunately the prices are what is going to ultimately keep me away unless I can really splurge one day. My lunch altogether was over $17!!!! Nearly twenty bucks for a smoothie, some cut up potato, and a chickpea sandwich. If they lowered their prices I'd be eating there several times a week, but at their current prices I can't afford it at all. 17 dollars for a weekday work lunch is pushing it over the edge, sorry Terri. You had me with the taste, you lost me with the price....

I love this place. I've tried so many things but they never cease to amaze me. The quality, taste, everything is so amazing. I've been vegetarian for 3yrs and this is the only place that knows how to make a REAL buffalo sauce. OMG so amazing. Nuff said. Just go there, veg or not you won't be sorry! Now I'll just wait for them to open a restaurant so I can go in the evening with friends and be waited on. I'll keep dreaming...
Posted by mh004g on 06/09/2010
I've tried this place twice. The first time I got the jerk tofu sandwich and a brownie. The second time I got the "chickn" quesadilla wrap. The jerk tofu sandwich was a little off for me. The jerk sauce was extremely overpowering, but not in a spicy way - just overpowering. It also was a little dry. The brownie was pretty good. The quesadilla wrap wasn't a wrap, it was traditional quesadilla style so pretty messy for desk eating. It was also so greasy. I liked the hot sauce on it a lot, and the cheese tasted really good if there hadn't been so much if it. I wish also wish it had more "chickn" in it and more veggies, it was mostly cheese. The Juices look amazing, but at $6 a pop and considering I haven't enjoyed the other things so much, I probably won't try them

I never write these things but this place was awesome.
Posted by NYCrochet on 04/14/2010
I ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich for lunch yesterday. While I would REALLY like to see it come with a small side or a little something extra for the price, I thought it was delicious. The "chicken" seemed like it might be Gardein, which is the best fake meat out there, and and "cheese" is Daiya, which is generally acknowledged to be awesome. I loved the hint of garlickyness in it, and the bread was a pleasant surprise, almost like an extra-tasty panini bread. My only complaint was the price.
Posted by Stephanie on 04/10/2010
I wanted to love this place, I REALLY did! I went this morning with my boyfriend (I'm a vegan and he's a non vegan) and we ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich, the Portobello Pesto Sandwich, the Terri smoothie and the date and oat bar for dessert. The sandwiches were at best "okay." The Portobello sandwich was cold, and the mint pesto was average. As for the Chicken Bacon Ranch - it tasted so processed and fake. The smoothie was okay as well....the only good thing abut this place was the date bar, that was actually delicious. I was really disappointed when I left here...I've heard amazing things. Perhaps it was an off day, but I don't think I'll be going back.
Posted by JP on 03/29/2010
Visited Terri for the first time last week. The sandwiches we ordered (the Chicken Bacon Ranch & the Chickpea Tuna Melt) were great. The owner was super friendly and knowledgeable about the food. We sampled the cupcake and doughnut, which were also delicious. We'll definitely be back.

Today I've just got a quick post on another sexy older polish. This is OPI Blue Moon Lagoon. This beauty is from the Summer for Shore collection (early 2000s I believe?), which is full of awesome polishes that I hope to get my hands on some day. For now, I've got this one!
Blue Moon Lagoon is a silvery pale blue linear holo. It's much more holo than my photos show - I really try but my newer camera just can't seem to capture holos the way my old one could. I miss that camera. It is sheer, I needed at least three coats, possibly four, if I remember correctly. Worth it. It smells awesome too.
Thanks for reading! Have a beautiful day!

LinkThere's more in the article, including some mentions they're trying to tap a person from the Lion King direct-to-video sequels for this one.No one wants to direct "Toy Story 3."
That's the word in Hollywood's animation world, where the third installment of the incredibly successful Pixar series has no director, writer or, possibly, stars.
My sources in the animation biz tell me that Disney, which will make "Toy Story 3" without Pixar, cannot find a director to guide the project.
Disney is now trying to hire another team of animators to recreate Buzz Lightyear, Woody and all the other "Toy Story" characters so that they look the same. It will have to start from scratch to reproduce Pixar's creative work.
The next step, of course, is to find a writer and director for the project. With Lasseter gone, my source says, "Every single animator of note has turned down the director's job. They don't want to cross Pixar. They've become the only deal in town."
Boy, oh boy. An egg in the making, huh?

United States: Supreme Court Holds That Constitution Protects an Individual Right to Own Firearms for Self-Defense
To link to this article, copy this persistent link:
(Jul 02, 2008) On June 26, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution confers an individual right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes such as self-defense. It further ruled that District of Columbia laws that banned handguns and required firearms in the home to be disassembled or locked violates this right.
The Second Amendment provides that "[a] well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." When a D.C. resident's application to register a handgun he wished to keep at home was denied, he filed suit under the Second Amendment. The suit ultimately reached the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court found that the operative clause of the Second Amendment, "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed," guarantees an individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation, and the Amendment's prefatory clause, "[a] well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State," does not limit the operative clause.
While the Court stated that the right to keep and bear arms is subject to regulation, it found that the D.C. ban on handgun possession violated the right because it prohibited an entire class of arms favored for the lawful purpose of self-defense in the home. It similarly found that the requirement that lawful firearms be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock made it impossible for citizens to effectively use arms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense, and therefore also violated the right. (District of Columbia v. Heller, No. 07-290 (June 26, 2008), available at http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/07pdf/07-290.pdf.)

City officials determined that long-vacant houses between 56 and 68 Lexington Ave. were in imminent danger of collapse, jeopardizing the public. They ordered emergency demolition.
Photo: WNYT
ALBANY - For years the seven houses on the east side between 56 and 68 Lexington Ave. had been left vacant and deteriorating.
"There were already plans put together for this site with ACAP to put a Head Start school here and a community gym so it gives us a chance to move forward to make this neighborhood a lot better that what it is," said the Albany Common Council member for the area Ron Bailey.
Bailey and barbershop owner Robert Brown are thrilled the buildings are being torn down.
"So when you've got these abandoned buildings like that what happens is, you've got squatters, you've got people coming in using drugs," said Brown.
But Historic Albany Foundation, which is headquartered nearby, is not happy. Executive Director Susan Holland questions the need for emergency action, circumventing normal community consideration and approval.
"They were definitely not emergencies," Holland said. "There were some buildings that were distressed but this is not what I would qualify as an emergency."
But the city commissioner who made the call on emergency demolition defends his action.
"So if there's an imminent threat of collapse of the building, it means there's a danger to the public," said Jeffrey Jamison. "So if there's a danger to the public we need to abate it right away."
Holland disagreed with the safety claims.
"Inside, they all have their back walls. They have their roofs. There was one that you could see a little bit of daylight, but I've seen way worse," she said. "I know that they've been aiming to get some of these down and it's a clear cut case of we want these down for I don't know what reason."
Commissioner Jamison told NewsChannel 13 he was not aware of any redevelopment plans for the now cleared lots on Lexington Avenue, despite what Bailey had told us.

Dawn Baumgartner Vaughan: Biscuit stories and glories
Did you know there are people out there who have not eaten a Bojangles' biscuit? I know, I know. Who could fathom such a thing. What a loss for their taste buds. I was up in Northern Virginia for Thanksgiving, and saw a friend from college. Somehow I brought up Bojangles' and she said she'd never been there, but she had been to Biscuitville in North Carolina with a relative. Apparently there are two camps of Carolina fast food biscuit fans. Don't forget Hardee's, too. In the few months since we talked about biscuits in this column, I wrote a story about Shirley Jones, the biscuit maker at the North Duke Street Hardee's who has made thousands of biscuits for the breakfasts of weekday morning diners. Talk about a consummate professional.
Alright, enough store-bought biscuit talk. Time to share what a reader from Roxboro shared with me about biscuits. Allen Long grew up in the country, on a farm, where they had some of the best biscuits, he said. His mom didn't use a recipe; she just knew what to do using self-raising flour and lard.
With today's cautious carbohydrate counting, we might forget something that Long reminded me – biscuits on the table were a way of filling you up if there weren't a lot of other items on your plate. Biscuits are also there to sop of the gravy, he said. Is there anything a biscuit can't do? See, it can even keep you from being wasteful.
Long's mom passed down her biscuit-making skills. Allen Long makes homemade biscuits as well as yeast buns, hot cakes and coffee bread. He sounds like quite the cook, doesn't he?
Lately I've been multitasking while watching television at night, going through cookbooks and figuring out how my husband and I are going to feed our relatives who are coming down for Christmas. I won't attempt biscuits – I know from veteran biscuit makers that it's not a skill you rush. I brought a stack of cookbooks out to the coffee table, and began flipping. My husband has less enthusiasm for reading cookbooks. I like it – I've read so many for Food section stories already. I like it more than cooking itself. He said he'll do the bulk of the cooking if I pick out what we're going to make. Deal. Well, maybe not for some things. We decided to bring brownies for our contribution to the Thanksgiving table. The first batch, which he did alone, was liquefied in the center. Mind you, this was an instant batch from a box. "How do you mess up brownies?" my sister asked, as she ate one from the second, successful brownie batch.
Not everyone can be an Allen Long in the kitchen. Or a Shirley Jones.

The Teamsters would not endorse the accord, however, nor would the Decorators, and in 1997 negotiations collapsed.
The unions were nonetheless very giving, recalls Kelley.
"When I first got there," he says, "nobody carried anything in the building unless they were a Teamster. Then the CVC started having a lot of mom-and-pop shows, with exhibitors who make crucifixes, or picnic tables that they bring in their own truck. Or you have a guy who sells locks, and he carries $100,000 of them in a suitcase. It used to be that he had to bring the suitcase to the dock and the Teamster had to carry it in. Well, the customers finally said, 'Hey, that's nonsense.' So we made the rule if you can carry it inside in a 'suitcase,' you can carry it in."
But clients always wanted more concessions, Kelley adds. "The next thing you know, a guy has a damn golf bag that he wants to call a 'suitcase.' Everybody pushes the limits."
Convention center unions are no different than other organized labor groups: sluggish to relinquish responsibilities for fear that their services eventually won't be required, explains Doug Ducate, president of the Center for Exhibition Industry Research, a Dallas-based nonprofit.
The technology revolution only heightened the rank-and-file's fears. As Bob Kelley explains, "You can do things today with a laptop that it used to take ten men and four truckloads full of stuff to do. The bottom line is, these groups are fighting for their survival."
But even after concessions, costs can balloon if unions insist on other conditions, such as minimum-hour requirements, the CEIR's Ducate points out. Perhaps more than anything, he says, exhibitors hate paying a union electrician the requisite four-hour rate to plug a computer into an outlet. That's been a longtime beef in St. Louis, where the IBEW plugs in and networks all PCs.
"We're a high-tech company with a lot of computers and software," complains Ohio-based Stephen Holder, organizer of the Rockwell Automation show held here in 1994 and 1998. "Does an electrician in St. Louis know how to set up my computer? I'm sort of anxious about that. And it was their job to unbox the stuff, too. I said, 'Time out! I have over 750 computers, and you guys have to take them out of the box and set them up, when my guys can do it in half the time?' In other cities, if it's your box you unpack it yourself."
In 2004, six years after Rockwell's second show, the CVC finally persuaded the IBEW to let exhibitors unpack and repack their PCs. In exchange, the CVC promised to pay the union if it caught any exhibitors trying to connect their own computers. (Holder's show returned in 2005. "It was better," he says. "But St. Louis can always improve.")
Other significant jurisdictional changes occurred in 2004. The Teamsters said exhibitors could ferry materials via dollies. And the Decorators let exhibitors with booths measuring less than 300 square feet assemble their own spaces without using power tools.
Around the same time, America's Center took the rare step of naming longtime employee Melanie Donnelly its official labor relations manager.
A PR blitz followed, with the CVC hoping to lure back lost business. Today, if you Google "labor relations and convention centers," St. Louis appears first.
But have the changes resulted in more customers and more work for the unions? "We're still waiting," says the Decorators' Condellire.
It's a Thursday in early April, the day before the colossal National Rifle Association convention opens at America's Center, and workers from the six unions are scurrying about, transforming the Center into a mammoth gun shop. At 64,562 attendees, the gathering will be both an NRA and a city record-breaker.
Over in a small office in St. Louis' Southampton neighborhood, meanwhile, where a dozen still-in-working-order 1920s movie projectors line the windowsill, IATSE Local 143's business manager Bill Watkins explains the group's genesis in St. Louis movie theaters. The Local's membership peaked in 1948 at nearly 300, but today numbers just 34.
Still, Local 143 maintains a six-decades-old contract with St. Louis-based Swank Audio Visuals, a primary contractor at America's Center. The Projectionists man the Center's meeting rooms, setting up screens and PowerPoint presentations and monitoring the workshops. "Our guys are coat-and-tie, or business-casual, so your usual description of 'union guy' is thrown out the window," says Watkins. "Now the Center would like to disrupt the way we've been doing things there for 30 years."
A little after 11 a.m., one of Watkins' Projectionists telephones from the NRA setup. An argument has ensued between Local 143 and another union over a plasma television.
"Well, OK, first of all, let's be nice, let's be friends about it. This is one of those gray areas. Who did it come to as freight?" Watkins asks his member.
"OK," he goes on. "It's Swank's and 143 has the contract with Swank, so we do it. OK? Talk to you later."
Plasma televisions are popular tradeshow features these days and a sticking point for the Projectionists and IBEW. Watkins' group considers plasmas a second-generation projector a piece of equipment traditionally in 143's purview. But IBEW considers plasmas a second-generation television its responsibility.

EU urges Italy to get polluting steel plant under control
The ILVA steel plant in Taranto, is Europe's biggest steel producer and one of Italy's greatest polluters [Credit:ILVA]
The EC has responded to complaints raised by citizens and NGOs living and operating in the vicinity of the plant's site in Taranto, southern Italy.
The ILVA steel plant, Europe's largest iron and steel producer, has been convicted of heavily polluting the air, soil and ground waters of the city. The situation turned to worse after it was discovered the Tamburi quarter of the city of Taranto has been heavily contaminated by the plant's operations.
The EC has now said Italy, by not addressing the problem properly, is breaching the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive that guides industrial activities with a high pollution potential in the EU.
According to the directive, Italy is responsible for ensuring ILVA, the plant's operator, will take necessary remedial measure and cover the full costs of dealing with the damage.
The EC said Italy is putting health of Taranto's inhabitants at risk by not taking appropriate action. The Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik has sent a Letter of Formal Notice to Italy, giving it two months to respond.
The European Court of Justice condemned Italy on 30 March 2011 for not issuing industrial emissions permits to several industrial installations, including the troubled ILVA plant. However, Italian authorities issued an IPPC permit to ILVA on 4 August 2011 with a further extension guaranteed on 26 October 2012.
The EC is concerns whether the process pertinent to giving out the permit has been conducted in compliance with European law.
The IPPC Directive provides an EU-wide standard for licensing industrial and agricultural activities with a high pollution potential. Permits can only be issued if certain environmental conditions are met, so that the companies themselves bear responsibility for preventing and reducing any pollution they may cause. Permitting ensures that the most appropriate pollution-prevention measures are used, and that waste is recycled or disposed of in the least polluting way possible.
The Environmental Liability Directive sets up a framework based on the "polluter pays" principle to prevent and remedy environmental damage. Operators carrying out dangerous activities listed in Annex III of the Directive, including iron and steel production, fall under "strict liability", with no requirement to prove fault, provided a causal link between the activity and the damage is established. Affected natural or legal persons and environmental NGOs have the right to request the competent authority to take remedial action if they deem it necessary.

You seem to have a misunderstanding of the way democracy works. Democracy is when you vote at the polls, not get your panties in a wad when someone does something you disagree with. Those who have been elected chose to give the Arts Council funding, and the Arts Council chose to put this film on the schedule. Who are the pastors and the mayor to tell them what art is or isn't or what is appropriate? It's censorship, plain and simple.
Regardless, my point regarding violence vs. sexuality still stands. You are living with your head in the sand if you think the pastors care only because of the public funding issue. They just don't want the movie shown anywhere. They just happen to have leverage in this case because the Arts Council is a fledgling organization and can't afford to lose their funding, and the Council knows that (as always in our particular part of the world) the pastors can make the most noise and get their brainwashed minions out in front of the theater screaming and hollering.
If the council really wanted to stand up for art and against censorship, they would just tell the mayor and the pastors to sit and spin. Won't happen though.
Ever hear of a movie called Hunger Games? Kids brutally killing each other. Funny that the mayor and the pastor didn't seem to have an issue with that. But oh, if kids of the same age are exploring their sexuality, here comes the morality police. I swear this state drives me crazy.
If you don't want to see the movie, DON'T GO! It sounds like they have worked out a solution where there is no government money involved in the showing of the film. Not sure what the big deal is.

Unfortunately Jane, you are in the minority in this state. I was born and raised here and it will always be home, but sometimes Alabama leaves me baffled. Sometimes I think to myself "how can it be that people so willfully vote against their own self-interest?" The other side will scream "It's about personal responsibility!", and that may be so. But I have met a lot of people who live in Alabama over the years, and by and large, people want to succeed. They want to try hard.

You can argue until you are blue in the face about pot being legalized. IT WOULD STILL BE ILLEGAL FOR 18 YEAR OLDS TO POSSESS IT. As long as the drinking age is 21, the theoretical pot age would be at least that.
These are 18 year old kids.....even if pot was legal it would not be legal for 18 year olds, similar to alcohol. Not arguing against the legalization of it, and whether or not alcohol should be legal for 18 year olds or if this search was constitutional or not are different discussions altogether. But even if pot was legal this kids would still be charged with a crime b/c it will not be legal for 18 year olds to possess. You can count on that.

"Nearly half of Americans incorrectly think President Obama started the the bank bailout program, otherwise known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a new poll shows.
Just 34 percent of Americans surveyed by the Pew Research Center correctly said that TARP was enacted by the Bush administration. Almost half -- 47 percent -- think Mr. Obama started the bank bailout, according to the survey, conducted July 1-5. There was no partisan divide on the issue."
I'm not defending Obama. I'm telling you that George W. Bush signed the bill into law that propped up our banks after the economic collapse in 2008. It's a fact and I really can't make it any plainer. A five second google search will prove this. If you don't like Obama, fine, but at least call a spade a spade. Bush bailed out the banks. Sorry you can't seem to grasp that.
I assume you are referring to the "bank bailouts", or the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that George W. Bush signed that bill into law, not Obama. But don't let that stop you from blaming Obama for it.

Improving Your Office Testing Process: Toolkit for Rapid-Cycle Patient Safety and Quality Improvement
Approximately 40 percent of primary care office visits involve some type of diagnostic medical test, such as a urine sample or blood test, provided on site or at a laboratory. However, if test results are lost, incorrect or incomplete, the wrong treatment may be prescribed and patient harm can occur. "AHRQ has a strong track record of developing tools that have helped hospitals measurably improve the safety of care," said Jeff Brady, M.D., associate director of AHRQ's Center for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety. "This new toolkit is designed to improve safety in office-based settings by giving doctors and their staff a practical, easy-to-use resource to help manage their lab test results and patient follow-up."
"Improving Your Office Testing Process: Toolkit for Rapid-Cycle Patient Safety and Quality Improvement" (http://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/quality-patient-safety/quality-resources/tools/office-testing-toolkit/index.html) offers step-by-step instructions on how to evaluate an office testing process, identify areas where improvement is needed and address those areas. Practical tools are included that can be used to assess office readiness, plan activities, engage patients, audit efforts and incorporate electronic health records. The toolkit also includes a template for practices to ensure that laboratory test results are communicated effectively to patients in English or Spanish.

Rebranding Feminism
Posted by Eliza Williams, 1 October 2013, 12:17 Permalink Comments (27)
Elle magazine has approached three advertising agencies – Brave, Mother and Wieden + Kennedy London – and asked them to rebrand feminism.
The results of the project will appear in the November issue of the UK edition of Elle as an eight-page feature. To create the work, which was made for free by all agencies involved, Elle teamed the ad agencies with three feminist groups: Mother worked with The Feminist Times (the soon-to-be launched version of classic feminist magazine Spare Rib, edited by Charlotte Raven), Brave with teenage feminist campaigner Jinan Younis, and W+K with the founders of the Vagenda website, Holly Baxter and Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett. The three groups all created pages to be featured in the magazine.
In assessing the work, I guess the first question that should be asked is whether feminism actually needs rebranding. So many things these days are needlessly rebranded, just for the sake of getting some press attention, yet in the case of feminism the answer is, sadly, a resounding yes. Despite its core principles being about simple equality between men and women - equal political, economic and social rights - over the nearly 80 years since the word was coined, its meaning has warped and shifted so much that it means many different things to different people. If we're in a position in 2013 where our prime minister still can't call himself a feminist, the word definitely needs a facelift.
Brave and Jinan Younis's response to Elle's brief
It is interesting then that Elle has chosen to do this project now. There has been a resurgence of feminist groups over the last few years, alongside websites such as Everyday Sexism, which highlights the casual sexist remarks and actions that many women experience. The fact that Elle is covering it though suggests a certain tipping point – hardly known as a bastion for political action, the decision to run such a large feature on the subject means that the new feminist movement is finally reaching the mainstream. And, if that is the case, who better to help sharpen up its image than some of the best communication companies the UK has to offer?
Mother and The Feminist Time's piece focuses on pay
Thankfully, as I have actually written that last sentence down in public, I'm relieved to say that the resulting work for Elle stands up. All too often these kinds of projects will get sidetracked with shock tactics or gimmickry, but here all three agencies have delivered mature, simple responses to the brief, which are all nicely designed too. While the results are not a rebrand in the purest sense of the word, the project is a serious attempt to reposition the debate.
Brave and Jinan Younis have created a handy flowchart that highlights the many thorny issues surrounding the word: the extremity with which some people view it; whether it's appropriate for men to use; whether you can still be girly and be a feminist. Mother and The Feminist Times meanwhile have honed in simply on the issue of pay, and the fact that, on average, British women earn 15% less than their male counterparts.
Wieden + Kennedy and Vagenda have created a press ad that addresses the many stereotypes that women have to field, cliches that are arguably propogated most by women's magazines, which of course include Elle. The team also created a tear out page (below) to encourage women to get online and write what defines them as a woman on Twitter, using the hashtag #imawomanand. The examples they give include sentences such as 'I have a PhD', 'I'm in prison' and 'I'm single by choice'.
To tie-in with the magazine article, W+K is also creating an interactive window installation that launches next week, while the magazine will be staging an event at the end of October, details of which are still to be confirmed.
On the back of this project, Mother has also launched its own initiaitive entitled Project Bush. It's a contentious offering, and more in line with the shock tactics that I mentioned earlier. In order to highlight the very real issue of young women feeling obliged to shave their pubic hair to be sexy, the agency has commissioned photographer Alisia Connan to run a 'bush booth' at the agency where she will photograph the 'lady gardens' of volunteers, with the resulting images displayed, anonymously, in an exhibition at the agency at a later date. Unsurprisingly the project has already prompted a raft of comment on blogs. If you want to take part, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Returning to the Elle work, it is refreshing to see a project that is able to cut through all the controversy that surrounds the word 'feminism' and make some clear points. It is a word with a complicated history, but it should be a word for everyone. Perhaps this project will begin to help that happen.

Feminism is very much due a rebrand. It's such an important issue and so many people view it as some anachronistic movement to be ridiculed. It's a very difficult thing to make people look objectively at a culture they are part of.
"Project bush" doesn't fill me with confidence. Doesn't really sound that empowering to me. I'll try to remain open minded about it…

All of these raise valid points but they neglect to mention/understand the fact that feminism, by using the prefix "fem-" within its name, just acknowledges gender, polarises the debate, skews the entire discourse too far towards the feminine and alienates many men. As a graduate of an English course that dealt with cultural theory, I got shouted down a lot (and derided) by "feminists" simply because I was a man. That's not helpful at all.
As such, I call myself an egalitarian, and sadly, I think that feminism really needs to take that name to make the inroads it desperately needs to. Anything that pits the genders against each other really isn't helpful.
2013-10-01 14:50:55
Well-handled responses by some cracking agencies, but I feel they've all played it a bit safe without digging into the core issue.
@Tony is spot on - there shouldn't be masculism or feminism if equality is the goal.

Nice use of pink for the ladies

Feminism doesn't pit genders against each other, quite the opposite. I wouldn't judge feminist discourse based on some annoying people at college. This is why it needs a rebrand.

My two cents: Feminists are taking it way too far. Nowadays they have the same rights, chances, opportunities, education etc. And still, still, they are unhappy. They want the same rights, but men still have to pay the dates, open the door for them, treat them special and what ever women want. It's not right. People need to acknowledge that there ARE some differences, but at a marginal level. Let them be. It's not that bad. Women can become successful, rich, powerful and intellectual without anyone holding them back. I think feminists succeed in what they wanted to accomplish. Now settle down a bit, haha. It's getting messy.
2013-10-01 16:16:39
I think the problem with this is that it's very much dependent on which way you come at it.
For instance, is it bad that only 1 in 4 MPs are women? Well I suppose it is, but then again, do politicians pass any laws that favour men? I can't think of any, and in fact when one looks at the unequal retirement age for example, there are quite a few laws and policies which discriminate against men.
Of course, one could equally argue that the vast majority of people doing the not-very-nice jobs in society are also men. It's overwhelmingly men who work in abattoirs, clean our streets, drive the lorries which deliver our food, load bags onto our airplanes, catch our fish, maintain our sewers etc.
Question: If an employer could get away with paying women less for exactly the same job/work, why wouldn't they employ all women?
The really basic question any campaign like this needs to ask is quite fundamental: is it true, or has it ever been true, that women are oppressed, or have been in some way disadvantaged compared to men? Feminists say 'of course it's true', but the fact that most of the public don't agree says something interesting surely?
Women only got the vote in 1918? Well yes, but men only got the vote in 1918 as well. Most of the men who fought and died in WW1 didn't have the vote either, and they had to fight for it, which women didn't.
Women control >70% of all spending in the UK. Who has more power? The person who earns the money, or the person to whom the money is transferred and then spends it?
Men account for 94% of all workplace deaths and serious injuries. Is that equal? Men commit suicide 10x more than women. If a man has recently been divorced or separated, his chance of suicide is so great he would statistically be safer serving on the frontline in Afghanistan. What does that tell us?
Some women received violent tweets on Twitter? Well that's very bad. But the editor of GQ received death threats from One Direction fans too - and they were all from teenage girls. There's blame to be shared around there.
These are amongst the reasons that 'rebranding' an ideology such as feminism (and it IS an ideology, it's not really about 'equality', it's about advocacy for special treatment for one sex) is so problematic.
Feminists campaign against an automatic presumption of shared parenting in UK family law for example. But 80% of the public think children should have the right to be cared for by both their mother AND father.
So how do you put a postive spin on that?
2013-10-01 18:04:21
Seriously John, if you really believe that, you obviously live on a different planet.
Just take a look at a couple of music videos, compare your salary with that of a female colleague with the same level of responsibility and start counting all the stereotypes women are still subjected too.
"Treat them special?" Not special, just want to be treated the same.
Feminism is still light years from achieving its basic objectives and I really welcome this initiative from ELLE.

I don't like pink much. However, with all these design, they really make sense to me. Thanks!

I hope my response doesn't lead you to think like @Tony, and make you believe you have been "shouted down because you are a man", but it is very difficult to understand the struggle women have every day, if you are not a woman yourself. And that is exactly why education is important - to help you understand.
Woman are still paid less, and still victims of workplace harassment. 1 in 3 women will experience rape, 2 in 3 will experience sexual violence against them. Opportunities are barely equal if they are made to feel uncomfortable or undeserving of their position, or worse — what about the many women who are bullied and raped in the army? Just because they have are able to join the army now, still doesn't mean they can as an equal - and that example plays out across many aspects of a woman's life, in varying degrees.
When you say, "But men still have to pay on dates"etc, you are not talking about feminism or equality, you are talking about politeness. It may not be the case for you, but if I ask someone to come meet me for lunch, more often than not, I pay — it's polite. If I am standing by the door, I open it — it is polite.
It's not getting messy, we still need to talk about these issues.I am a young woman and I am reminded of my inferior status constantly. I'd trade up at the cost of a free dinner anyday.

I had both of my children very young and dealt with all of the stigma of being a very young, single mum living in a rather choice area of Lverpool. I'm extremely proud of the degree I earned and the career I managed to carve out for myself. I've worked with platinum selling bands, international brands and delivered charity campaigns that have really made a difference.
I have developed a few tactics to ensure all of my multiple responsibilities and pressures don't get on top of me. I try to deal with the frustrations of being a young mother with good humour. I also ensure that my colleagues, clients and children are all aware that they are not always my number one concern, and that other responsibilities may require my attention.
At times, these responsibilities may fight for dominance. While I cannot directly affect the behaviour of an unreasonable client, I can make a difference to the behaviour of my children. I can ensure that they do not make the connection between acting up and having my attention.
I find the best way to deal with immature attention seeking behaviour is to cast it a filthy look and carry on with the daily business of getting on with it. It's a shame we can't send some adults to the naughty step, it worked a treat when my boys were little.

@Peter M.
It's not about women getting one over on men. It's about equality for the sexes in the same way anti-racism is not about black people getting one over on white people.
FHM: Feminism Helps Men. Anyone who's done any reading on the subject knows this (and as a man myself, I can testify to this fact). Your question of "is it true?" will be answered pretty quickly if you did this (to save you time, the answer is 'yes').
It would be lovely to have a discussion about how to communicate the importance of feminism without the interjection of naive platitudes from ill-informed people clogging up the thread. It only goes to prove how important the communication of this subject is.
I think I've changed my mind about "Project Bush". Feeling more positive about it than before. The more examples of real bodies everyone can see, the better in my opinion.
2013-10-02 11:04:24
Q: Is feminism a misnomer?
A: Perhaps, but language is inherently problematic & gendered, and the term has been around for so long, we should probably stick to it. Let's rebrand instead!
Q: Is feminism sexist?
A: No.
Q: Why should I call myself a feminist?
A: Because feminism is about equality for all, and not about favouring women.
Q: Do men need feminism?
A: Yes. Just as women should be free to pursue traditionally male professions such as fireMEN so men should feel the same about being midWIVES.
2013-10-02 14:08:54
Can anyone give an example where a woman can't do something because of their gender? School? College? University? Job? Becoming a parent? Buying a house? Getting a loan? Starting their own business? The opportunities are there.
Ok, fair pay has been mentioned, but this isn't an issue necessarily to do with gender, there are plenty of cases where people are working the exact same jobs and are on different salaries. I'm not saying it's right (because it clearly isn't) but it's not a female specific issue.
The posters are ok. Not sure they will convince anyone of anything but reinforce ideas people already have. So their success is somewhat meh.
2013-10-02 16:39:01
Women are prohibited from driving in Saudi Arabia to name the first thing that comes into my head. If we're talking about western feminism (which we are) then I think the whole "equal pay" issue a bit misleading to be honest. The main problem with gender inequality is a deep-seated sociological problem more than anything else. We could make sure that women have equal pay throughout the country but there would still be inequality through discrimination and objectification.
An example in western society: You can't be a famous female personality without the media primarily focussing on your looks before your talent (this is not the same for men). Or check out the popular YouTube vloggers and see how the comments differ between the male and female vloggers.
The recent Steubenville High School rape case is a classic example of why we need feminism. A girl was raped by two students and the media focussed on how tragic is was that the boys in question had such promising futures that would now not be fulfilled because they had been convicted of rape.
I'm scratching the frost at the very tip of a massive iceberg here. We really need to educate people about feminism. The other side is winning and it's not the right side. For some reason, people are under the delusion that feminism in someway will disadvantage men. This is not true.
btw: 'Gender'=masculine/feminine (socially constructed), 'Sex'=male/female (biological)
2013-10-02 17:43:21
I take the point that men may not be able to truly understand the issues women face on a daily basis and can only try to empathise, but at least the movement has traction. How many black people are in parliament, what are the discrepancies in terms of black people as a population of poor areas, rates of stop and search, prison population, conviction rates, arrest rates and pay gap etc. My point being there are lots of folk out there who also have a struggle that others will find it hard to relate to. I mean how many of the high paying jobs in the UK are white, middle class men?? Ethnic Minority women, now there are some peeps overcoming obstacles.
2013-10-02 21:50:46
From a design point of view, I don't believe any of these examples succeed in what they set out to do: rebranding feminism. They don't even reposition the argument in the slightest.
What really is feminism? There is too many conflicting opinions on what it really is. Is it about making sure women are legally equal as men (and vice versa) or is it about how people being able to do what is socially viewed as something for the other gender (men wearing dresses), or is it both (too confusing)?
For me the greatest shame is that it is still a divisive term and alienates men from the discussion (even if it's accidentally), these examples support that opinion. Arguments above talk about how it's for men too and I feel that is the biggest flaw in these executions because it doesn't even remotely tackle this modern perspective of feminism. A real rebrand would be to position this for men too. I know it was for a womens magazine but this is where feminism needs to start evolving towards.
Starting with treating the flow chart as the first visual:
Example one doesn't allow for conversation and is too stubborn and divisive in it's execution. It does address that a man are feminists too, but only fleetingly.
Example two is hard to argue with but is too oversimplified. Although there are wage discrepancies across the board, it does succeed in addressing that overall women get paid less than men. But sometimes people (any gender) get paid less for a good reason.
Poster three shouldn't be made out to be a gender specific issue, men suffer from exactly the same problem.
Poster four, shouldn't that be "I'M A HUMAN AND…". I like this the most as it's not as tired and well trodden as the others in it's messaging.
@JamesWindsor, it swings both ways and showing only one side of the argument doesn't help. What about the 11 year old boy from Florida who got stripped and filmed by two girls at school? They weren't even disciplined by the school…
2013-10-03 12:18:29
I'm not aware of the specific case you're referring to but its not being taken seriously is a good reason why we need gender equality. That is a feminist issue. As I keep saying: feminism helps both men and women.
We focus on women's issues more because they are more affected by it and historically have been more so. Men do experience sexual violence but not anywhere near as much as women do. "Feminism" has become more of a misnomer than it was previously, mainstream feminist discourse does not call for the issues of only one sex to be addressed, it calls for a cultural paradigm shift toward gender equality and to raise awareness of sexism that most of us are blind to because it is in the fabric of the culture we are part of.
2013-10-03 12:59:57
I would say that in this case it's not a good idea to show issues women come up against in isolation if feminism really is about coming at equality from both ends.
Finally, I don't disagree with anything you say (far from it) but my main point is that feminism needs to move away from it's historical past (something these posters/examples above don't do) if it's to be as relevant as possible to modern life. If you really think about it, a lot of the negative reactions towards feminism here is how feminism is communicated in the tired/outdated messaging in the above posters.
2013-10-03 13:32:05
Women and Men are different. They are not the same.
The problem with feminism in the focus on equality without recognizing those differences. The elephant in the room: Child birth!
My wife had a career until our kids came along. Until then she earned about the same as me. She will likely now have six years out. In the interim my pay is likely to go up and i'll get promoted. She will start again on a rung lower than she was at before.
We both expect this and it is accepted for we are a team. But like any team we have different roles in it.
I think sometimes feminism is associated with placing unfair pressure on women to be all things, mother and successful business person (which is impossible unless you are superwomen or very well off). The pressure on women to go back to the work place has also increased the requirement for 2 incomes in a household and reduced the sustainability of the "traditional" family unit. Now it is expected that the kids are outsourced to a third party whilst both parents work. In short, everyone works harder.
I think there are things that can be done. One practical step is to have maternity leave allocated on a per child basis like in Sweden. I doubt this will completely equalize pay and the career trajectory because women are statistically more likely to look after the kids. But it does then becomes a matter of choice.
This is a complicated issue requiring practical solutions and these slogans show absolutely no understanding of the underlying issues. They are also crass in places, designed to shock. This issue should not be reduced to an FCUK advert. This does not help the cause.
2013-10-03 14:01:06
Shouldn't a 're-brand' offer a new approach to a subject? The examples above are confrontational and a bit punky - pretty stereotypical representations of feminism. Would be nice to see some examples that use a little more subversive humour and wit.
2013-10-03 15:17:22
Stereotypical rebranding.
Interesting thread.
I see a lot of women discriminated against on a daily basis in the environment I work in. I dont think this campaign will do much to change that. unless you've been discriminated against you've no idea how it feels or how it changes a person - blame capitalism its designed to exploit and monetise discrimination
2013-10-03 16:37:56
As usual some shockingly ignorant comments from men here, yes Andrew women can have children, that doesn't mean they should be discriminated against!
Women's oppression is part of the structure of Capitalism, Capital benefits if women earn less, bring up children for free, feel the need to paint their faces with expensive make up to be 'attractive' etc etc. And this also helps to discipline male labour too.
The Family and State reinforce this oppression as the norm as society and it is structured into law etc is the idea that women should be the ones to look after kids, or be the man's possession in marriage/property relations. It was legal for a man to rape his wife in this country till 1991!
Obviously some people try and deal with this as best they can by being a team and not acting as a traditional family, but it doesn't alter the fact that it's the reality women face.
Then on top of that is a veritable tsunami of images produced by the ad/publishing/porn industries that attempt reinforce daily the idea that a women's worth is her looks and all she is, is a body to be bought and sold.
What would bring real equality? And here we're not talking about middle class feminism that sees the goal as 'having it all' i.e. a career and having kids. Real equality would mean, equal pay, free childcare, more flexible working hours, equal paternity/maternity leave and society taking more responsibility for children. That is in the interests of women AND men, as all our lives would be transformed for the better.
Things like this would transform the design field, where women despite being in the majority at college are virtually nowhere leading the field because of the way childcare create real blocks to them working and an industry of (mainly) small businesses have no capacity to deal with this, we need the State in this instance to help.
I don't believe all that can happen under Capitalism, though reforms can, so the real issue with Feminism is not so much the need for a rebrand (important though that is, and the examples above are ok I think), but a powerful social and political movement that can achieve those goals.
Let's hope this work and the slowly rising amount of young women who are kicking back against all this crap can make that difference.
2013-10-05 10:32:17
Does it tell us something that these are mostly male reactions to the rebranding of feminism by Elle?
2013-10-07 10:57:37
It tells us that a lot of men feel threatened by what they perceive as feminist ideology and therefore that feminism is widely misrepresented by the mainstream media.
2013-10-07 13:29:02
The real issue is violence against women.
Ask your representatives:
What are their views on Sharia Law?
What do they think about the following statements:
The West Will Tolerate Itself To Death.
Why Do We Tolerate Violence Against Women?
What are their plans to halt violence against women around world including:
1) Female genital mutilation
2) Punishing rape victims
3) Honor killing
4) Strapping bombs to children
5) Sexually enslaving women
6) Murdering homosexuals
7) Child marriage
8) Domestic Violence
9) Disciplining or Punishing Wives

A reliable, secure energy supply is vital to our economy, our security, and our well being. A key component of achieving a reliable and secure energy supply is the "smart grid" initiative. This initiative is a modernization effort that employs distributed sensing and control technologies, advanced communication systems, and digital automation to enable the electric power grid to respond intelligently to fluctuations in energy supply and demand, the actions of consumers, and market forces with an overall objective to improve grid efficiency and reliability. A smart grid will also allow homeowners to track energy consumption and adjust their habits accordingly. This posting describes several initiatives that the SEI has taken to support power utility companies in their modernization efforts to create a smart grid.

The 2014 Oscars happened two days ago and we're already over them. Who cares if American Hustle was shut out or if Leonardo DiCaprio deserved to win Best Actor over Matthew McConaughey? All we want to know is which films and which of our favorite actors are going to be in the running for an Oscar next year. Believe it or not, stars like Meryl Streep, Emma Stone and Benedict Cumberbatch are already in the 2015 Oscar race.
It might seem extremely premature to try and predict who will be nominated for an Oscar in 2015, and it is. However, if a film features more than one Oscar winning actor, has a big director behind it, is due to be released around Christmas (and is about a real person and/or World War II), you can bet that its producers look at it as Oscar bait.
The fifteen films on this early Oscars list all have a number of those qualities, but that doesn't mean they'll make it to the big event next year. Anything can happen during an Oscar race. An unknown independent film can storm a film festival, a director can make a major public faux pas or a heavily-hyped movie can just plain suck.
That said, if we had to put money on anything right now, it would be that we're going to see Meryl Streep back at the Oscars next year for her work in Into The Woods. Like, come on! It's in the bag…

As prom and graduation season approach, a local mom offered an emotional warning about the potentially deadly consequences of drinking and driving.
Wednesday, the Camanche/DeWitt Coalition hosted a town hall meeting in Camanche, Iowa, on underage drinking. Dozens listened to police officers, health experts, and guest speakers talk about the harmful effects of hosting parties, drinking underage, and getting behind the wheel.
The most powerful speaker was Kelly Sparks, a Charlotte, Iowa, mom whose voice still wavers when she talks about July 23, 2011.
"The summer of 2011 was Justin's senior summer. It should have been the time of his life, the summer between high school and college," said Sparks.
Instead, Kelly got a call in the early morning hours, telling her that her son, Justin, had been in a car accident and was now in the hospital. Justin had a broken ankle, broken vertebrae, and concussion.
His friends, Jed and Kristin, were dead.
"We broke the news to him later that day. It was the most difficult thing I ever had to do as a parent — we had to tell our son something that was going to devastate him," said Sparks.
After a night of drinking, Justin had gotten behind the wheel, with Jed and Kristin getting inside as well. Police found the smashed car in the early morning hours. All three had been thrown from the vehicle.
"He wanted to switch places with Jed and Kristin, he wanted to be able to take the pain away from their families," said Sparks.
In 2012, Justin Sparks pleaded guilty to two counts of homicide by vehicle. He served 60 days in jail, 400 hours of community service, and remains on probation. In total, the accident cost Justin nearly $600,000.
Kelly said not a day goes by that she doesn't think of the accident. The whole family's lives were forever changed.
"If it happened to them, it can happen to you. Don't think it can't," said Sparks.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Dominique Dulski and Natasha Smith came up short in the 2013 ITA Mountain Regional Doubles semifinals on Sunday morning in Las Vegas, Nev.
Utah's Paige Miles and No. 1 seed Teresa Bekerova defeated the New Mexico duo, 8-1. The Lobos had been battling since Wednesday morning to earn a spot in the semifinals.
"Obviously it was a disappointing loss for Dom and Natasha this morning," head coach Erica Jasper said. "We had a hard time getting things going early and against a team like that, it's tough to come back. I am exceptionally proud of these two--they had a great tournament and represented our program so well all week."
Misa Bezdickova and Lizette Blankers did not compete on the final day of regionals as there were no consolation matches held.
The Lobos are headed back to Albuquerque to prepare for their next tournament, the 2013 Collegiate Clay Invitational in Orlando, Fla., Oct. 24-27.
"We have so many positives to build off of after this tournament. It will be fun to get to work this coming week," Jasper said.
Doubles Semifinals:
Page Miles/Teresa Bekerova (UU) def. Dominique Dulski/Natasha Smith (UNM), 8-1

Evangeline Downs: Solid Sender, Montbrooks Miracle get stakes wins
OPELOUSAS, La – Solid Sender improved her career record to 3 for 3 Saturday night as she captured the fillies' division of the $50,000 John Franks Memorial Sales Stakes at Evangeline Downs. Sweet Alice Benbow finished 2 1/4 lengths back in second and six lengths in front of Streaming Live in third.
Trained by Sam Breaux and once again ridden by Gerard Melancon, Solid Sender ($2.40) completed a lucrative summer campaign that also saw her win the six-figure D. S. "Shine" Young Futurity in July. The daughter of Early Flyer covered the 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:05.79. She has earned more than $116,000.
In the males' division of the Franks, Montbrooks Miracle took control just after the start and drew off for a 2 1/2-length victory. Risky Forest reported home second, with Stay Friendly finishing third in the closing-night co-feature.
Montbrooks Miracle ($6.80) was ridden by Kerwin Clark for trainer Ray Sibille and won for the first time in two starts after a troubled maiden debut last month. He is a son of Montbrook who brought $27,000 at the Franks sale in March. The final time was 1:05.32.

Suggestions for Jean Georges
- b
- Brian Paulsen
I have dinner reservations for tonight with my mother
and my wife. I stopped by the restaurant on Saturday
to check out the menu and I have a quick question...
Would you recommend getting the tasting menu for all
three of us? Or should we pick our own entrees and
appetizers and share? If we have three at the table
and all get a tasting menu, is it possible to have them
serve a variety of dishes?
P.S. Are Mondays normally easy to book? We made the
reservation on Thursday night and we have a good
seating time.
Go with the tasting menu, the variety of tastes were
just fantastic. Even reading the menu, I did not know
what to expect with each course. One of the best meals
I've ever had(except for my Sicilian mother's cooking-
smile)I too had no problem making a reservation and was
quite surpised at how easy it was (1 week for a wed
night, decent time)
I must say that Jean Georges is going in my top 4
favorite restaurants - service was impeccable and the
food was simply amazing. Of course, I can't afford to
eat out again for a long time, but it was well worth
By the way, for a good service story... We were seated
near the entrance to the kitchen and as soon as we sat
(after the maitre'd left us) I told my wife that I
didn't prefer our seating. I looked around and noticed
that all of the other tables were full, so there wasn't
much that could be done. Within five minutes, another
table left, and the maitre'd apologized for disturbing
us and asked if we would prefer to move to that table.
I was very, very impressed.
As others suggested, we ordered the tasting menu, and
with the exception of the first dish, everything was
incredible. I'm sad to say that I was getting too full
to try the cheese sampler - I'll save room next time!

Jojo is my favorite restaurant in New York, but I
haven't been to Jean Georges. I hear it's more
expensive. But otherwise, how would you all compare the
two restaurants?
