Teen Mom
Leah Messer Wears Camo to Honor Deceased MTV Star Shain Gandee (PHOTOS)
The cast of MTV's Buckwild suffered a devastating loss on March 31, when Shain Gandee was found dead in his vehicle in Sissonville, West Virginia (along with two other bodies). It appears that Shain and his driving companions died from carbon monoxide poisoning, and his friends at MTV are deeply saddened by the news of his death.
Shain's fellow West Virginia native, Teen Mom 2's Leah Messer, has been especially affected by his untimely death, and wore camouflage in his honor. Not only did Leah deck herself out in head-to-toe camo, she dressed her daughters up in matching outfits, and inspired her coworkers at Tanfastiq to do the same!
"Again! Everyone showin their love for Shain" Leah tweeted to her fans on April 2. "@tanFASTiq #FunnyGreatGuy #Buckwild #RIPShainGandee."
Awww, this gal! It's so sweet of Leah to encourage her friends and family to honor Shain's memory during this difficult time. Check back in with Wetpaint Entertainment for more updates, and in the meantime continue to send your thoughts and prayers to Shain's family.

As everyone knows by now, GM's entry into the electric car market–the Chevy Volt–costs $41,000 before tax breaks. After the tax breaks, you can happily drive one off the lot for $33,000 … if you can ignore those guilt pangs knowing your fellow Americans have chipped in $8,000 to your new ride.
Welfare for the sanctimonious?
Meanwhile, back in the real world, there are plenty of great cars you can buy for less than $41,000 or even less than $33,000–and honestly. Here are my picks (in alphabetical order).
Ten for Less Than $41,000:
Chevy Camaro Z28 (Coming in 2011)
Nissan 370Z (Touring with Sports Package Model)
Ten for Less Than $33,000:
Ford Mustang Convertible (V6 Premium)
This list doesn't even touch the rich recession market of slightly used cars.

I went to dinner here last Saturday and was pleasantly surprised with how great the food was. I chose this place because of the location and i was looking for a trendy fun atmosphere for dinner. It was perfect atmosphere and the food was great. We started with the foie gras french toast and shrimp krispies. Both were good but the french toast was standout. Then we had the filet which comes with a yummy stk sauce. We ordered he parmesean truffle fries, creamed spinach and mac and cheese, the sides were just ok. For dessert we ordered the chocolate peanut butter smore and it was soooo good! would definitely recommend. the lamb was good as well.

i was so excited when i first walked into the place. it was so nice and the atmosphere was great. once the food came though i was majorly disappointed. don't go here for steak. my steak was burnt and tasted all charcoly. the dessert was very good though. the appetizers were ok but nothing worth paying for.

This "restaurant of the moment" features average steaks, some tasty unique smaller dishes, outrageous prices, and a comical crowd of caricatures who think they might have a brush with glamor. They won't. For an appetizer, definitely do the French Toast Foie Gras; you won't find it elsewhere, and they haven't ruined it with cilantro like their other stuff. The steaks aren't bad, but they're inferior to places like Knickerbocker (or even Outback, I'm afraid). Cocktails are insultingly overpriced, but the wines are quite good. The place is noisy to the point of violence, and you will lose your voice if you attempt a conversation. That's what made it so unpleasant and will prevent a return. Will these people never learn? Maybe one of their gloomy, never-booked, private dining rooms upstairs is in order if you want to speak with other humans. Desserts are very rich, and will serve two to four people. A brutally exhausting comment on our culture, but heck, you might want to try it once just to say you've been there. Or just have four peaceful, decent meals elsewhere for the same price.

An overall very good experience. Our waitress TK was great..very nice and helpful. the 10-oz filet was perfectly cooked and had a nice blu cheese dip on the side. The bar is a good looking place too...I would definitely go again.

Had a great time at STK. Went for a friend's birthday, and everything was perfect. The service was impeccable. For appetizers we had the shrimp rice krispies thing, steak tartar and the cold seafood platter. It was all super fresh and super delicious. I had the petite filet mignon for dinner, which was really good. The mac and cheese was yum. Didn't love the truffle fries, but everything else was great. And has this really yummy peanut butter thing for dessert. The atmosphere was really cool. Would recommend it.

Know your investments. This is the simplest yet biggest learning from the young investors profiled in the previous pages. Most of them don't invest on impulse or follow the crowd. Instead they believe in doing their homework. Clifford Pistolese fully backs this investment philosophy.
For amassing a fortune that lasts a lifetime, you have to invest right at all stages of your life. And since equities give the best returns in the long term, build your portfolio around them. This is exactly what he does in his book with the telling title Lifespan Investing. For every age group (divided into groups of five years starting from 25 years), he suggests portfolio compositions depending on whether the markets are bullish, bearish or range-bound.
This is a unique approach to investing and might mislead readers to think that the author does not have a long-term perspective in mind. However, Pistolese does not tell readers to alter portfolios according to market movements. He suggests rebalancing portfolios to take an aggressive or defensive stance. So, for investors in their 20s and early 30s, the investment advice is not very different.
But simply recommending penny stocks for a particular age group is of no use if you don't know how to select the winners in the category. Pistolese teaches you how in the first two chapters dedicated to fundamental and technical analysis. From evaluating stock prices to studying "double bottom" graphs, there is a lot to learn.
Pistolese's portfolio for age 20-30
Bull market
Objective: Superior capital gains
Bear market
Objective: Preserve capital
Investment options suggested by Money Today following Pistolese's principle
There are investing nuggets scattered throughout the chapters which are important for all investors. So Pistolese might talk about selecting stocks that give high capital gains for investors between 40-45 years but even a 32-year-old will benefit from it. What makes the book really stand apart from its competitors is its manual-like narrative format.
So, when there is a recommendation to check Yahoo Finance for making a stock comparison, you are told which link to click on, and which chart to scroll down to. If you thought it couldn't get easier, there is a list of stocks and funds that meets the investment criterion recommended for every age group.
Even while explaining concepts, the author has used actual data of companies. The irony is that it is these two strengths of the book that limit its appeal for Indian readers. All examples are of American stocks, and websites. Hence, gleaning the principle behind the suggestions is fruitful, but tedious.

At times, he's been solely focused on facilitating. Others, he's been a scorer first and foremost. There have even been games in which Teague retreated into the background on offense only to thrive as - in John Calipari's words - a "pitbull" on defense.
As Kentucky defeated Iowa State 87-71 to advance to the Wildcats' third consecutive Sweet 16, Teague didn't limit himself to just one area.
"This one was my best overall game," Teague said. "I was able to score points for myself, but also get my teammates involved. I feel like I played a good floor game tonight and just helped my team win."
Teague led all scorers with a career-high 24 points. He knocked down 10 of his 14 shots, the most field goals he's attempted in his 36-game collegiate career. Although he carried more of the scoring load for the Wildcats than he has all season, he did it while still effectively directing a UK attack that scored more points than it had in any game since December. The freshman had seven assists against just two turnovers.
"I feel like he's gotten better every game, especially at being a floor general," senior guard Darius Miller said. "He's really ran our team. There might be stuff that everybody else doesn't see that we do, whether it's him talking, getting us into spots, just the way that he gets everybody involved. He's a great point guard and he does a great job of running the team when we're on the court."
Continuing Kentucky's postseason trend of picking up the pace and exploiting open-floor opportunities, the top-seeded Wildcats (34-2) outscored the Cyclones (23-11) in transition 11-2.
"I thought Teague was the difference maker with his ability to get through us in transition," Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg said. "That really hurt us."
Not to be lost in Teague's offensive brilliance was the role Teague played in holding Iowa State to a season low in made 3-point field goals. Opting to leave Terrence Jones in one-on-one situations with star forward Royce White, the onus was on Teague and company to hang with the Cyclones' shooters.
"It was pretty much me one on one and let him do whatever he wants to do, just don't leave shooters and let him do any passes out for 3s and just stay out with high hands," Jones said. "I think we did a good job on that."
Teague drew the primary assignment of chasing Scott Christopherson, who was shooting better than 46 percent from long range coming into Saturday's game.
"We knew he was one of their main shooters," Teague said. "He knocked down a lot of big shots against UConn, so I just wanted to make it as hard on him as possible, just chase him off screens and fight over the top and just contest all his shots with high hands as much as possible."
Mission accomplished.
The senior guard drained half of Iowa State's six 3s in a first-round win over Connecticut, but he managed to hit just 1 of 4 from 3 with Teague tirelessly hounding him. As a team, the Cyclones - who were shooting 38 percent from 3 coming into the game - were 3 for 22 from deep.
That defensive effort helped set up a rematch with fourth-seeded Indiana in Atlanta. Christian Watford's game-winning 3 is the lasting image from that game, but Teague also remembers well his scoreless first half against his home-state school.
In that first half, Indiana repeatedly sent double teams at Anthony Davis and Terrence Jones into the post with the player guarding Teague. The scouting report dictated that Teague sprint to the basket upon seeing such double teams, but Teague was unable to capitalize on the ensuing opportunities. Coach Cal has repeatedly called Teague the nation's "best layup shooter," but he certainly didn't look it in Kentucky's first of two losses on the season.
Ironically, Iowa State employed the same strategy, but UK's original scouting report didn't call for Teague to run to the rim again. In perhaps the clearest sign of his evolution from the much-maligned "weak link" on Kentucky's otherwise flawless team into an unquestioned strength of the team, it was Teague that recognized the opportunity.
"He knew they were double-teaming them off of him," Calipari said. "So he said, 'Guys, I'm cutting to the rim. I'm cutting to the rim. My man is the guy that's leaving.' And we all looked, and I said, 'Do you guys understand what he's saying?' And they did."
There were would be no missed layups this time.
On two such occasions when he fed Davis in the post, then cut to the basket, Teague finished authoritatively, first with a dunk late in the first half, then with an "and-one" layup in the middle of a decisive 34-10 run that turned a tie game into a blowout.
For a player who was rated among the top five in his class coming out of high school, seeing a team willfully use the man defending him to double team elsewhere could be perceived as somewhat of a slight.
"The way (to) not feel insulted is have a night like he had," Jones said.
With the way he punished the Cyclones for placing defensive emphasis on his teammates, future opponents are less likely to see Teague as anything less than another star on a team full of them.

Confidentiality is an essential part of any clinical relationship.
All aspects of your participation in clinical services at the Counseling Center, including the scheduling of appointments, content of counseling sessions, and any records that we keep, are confidential as outlined by federal and state law. The Notice of Privacy Practices contains every health care component at Framingham State University, as described in the Health Insurance Portability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
What you share with the counselor will be held in confidence, unless you authorize your counselor to discuss it with others.
If you wish your counselor to communicate with anyone else, you will be asked to sign a Release of Information form which specifies what information you want released and with whom it is to be shared.
Counseling records are maintained in files separate from the student's academic files and cannot be accessed by faculty, staff, administrators, parents or other students without the student's written permission. Students are encouraged to address any questions or concerns about confidentiality with a counselor during their first appointment.
Under Massachusetts law, some specific types of information are not confidential. For example, abuse of children, the disabled, and the elderly must be reported to the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Situations involving the possibility of imminent harm to self or others may also require the counselor to release information as part of a plan of action to keep everyone involved safe.
Examples of when confidentiality may be breached:
1. A client wants/needs to share information about their counseling with a third party. In this case, confidentiality is broken at the request of the client. In order for this to occur, a Release of Information form must be signed by the client and detailing to whom this information can be released.
- The client has already informed a faculty member, advisor, or staff member that he/she is in counseling and wants or needs the Center to provide a letter of proof or support.
- The client is seeking treatment with a community-based provider and requests a treatment summary be forwarded to the new provider.
2. The client is an immediate threat to themselves (suicidal) or others (homicidal).
- If suicidal, and the client cannot or will not go to a hospital voluntarily, Counseling Center staff must contact campus police, family, friends, or some other responsible party to ensure the safety of the client and help initiate the medical/mental health care that the client needs.
- If the client is homicidal and a potential victim is known, Counseling Center staff must inform the police and/or the potential victim of the client's homicidal intent.
3. The client mentions a past or present instance of abuse which involves children, the elderly or the disabled. By law, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) must be contacted.
4. If the client is involved in a court case, client counseling records may be requested (subpoena) or demanded (court order).

Video:Photography Composition: Framingwith Chris Davis
Framing is an element to photo composition that is simple to understand but it may take some practice to execute successfully in your pictures. Watch this About.com video on photography to learn more about framing.See Transcript
Transcript:Photography Composition: Framing
Hi I'm Chris Davis for About.com. There are several element of composition to consider when taking a photograph. Let's take a look at the idea of framing your subject.
What is Framing?
The idea behind natural framing is quite simple. The technique is to draw attention to your subject by blocking other parts of the image with something in the scene.
There are natural frames all around us. Trees, windows, buildings, holes almost anything that allows you to block out part of the image will work. By placing something around the edge of your picture you isolate the main subject. This will draw your viewers attention to the main point of interest in your composition. The best part of this composition technique is that the item used as a frame doesn't matter a whole lot, only that it creates a frame around the actual subject. This makes trying and learning this technique easy.
Framing Adds Depth and Directs Attention in Photos
Framing also gives an images a sense of depth. Placing something in the foreground, such as a tree limb adds dimension to the photograph. Framing not only draws the viewer into a particular portion of the picture but it will keep your viewer there longer. Also consider that what you are using as a frame doesn't need to go completely around the edge of your image. Just framing one or two sides can be equally effective.
Furthermore think about whether you want your frame to be in focus or out of focus. Both techniques are effective. A blurred frame will add more depth to your shot, while a focused frame creates context to the photograph. As you practice this technique, be aware that framing can add clutter to your image causing your composition to feel cramped so try several options until you feel you have it right.
A simple tip is make sure that your frames has a distinct shape. It should stand out from your overall composition and the key elements of your photograph.

Hip-hop Mash-ups I made
I make some hip-hop stuff and here are a couple mash-ups that I'm most proud of.
Prince, Kanye West, & Lil Wayne: "Barry Bonds/5 Women+" and the one that I'm most proud of, Johnny Cash and Tupac Shakur's "God's Gonna Cut You Down/One Day At a Time". The Prince one is kinda vulgar so be warned. Also, I know, JayP does hip-hop stuff, too, but does anyone else on here? I'd love to hear it.
And I just thought of this because I'm listening to it right now, but I didn't want to start a new thread about it: Kanye West fans, what are your thoughts on 808s and Heartbreak? I love it but I know a lot of people don't like it at all because it's a pop album.
Re: Hip-hop Mash-ups I made
dope stuff man, what software are you using to put these together?
also on your other question about kanye, I'm actually not a big fan of him or any of these mainstream guys. I like strictly underground stuff like Living Legends, Heiroglyphics, eligh, grouch, scarub, little brother etc...
Re: Hip-hop Mash-ups I made
Oh thanks man. I get acapellas from www.acapellas4u.co.uk and the rest of it from CDs I own. I put them together in Audacity, a free but surprisingly good open-source audio program.
I don't listen to too much rap but most of the rap I do listen to is mainstream stuff. I haven't heard of ANY of those guys you mentioned, but I heard the stuff you made on your band's MySpace and it's awesome so I'll be sure to check those guys out.
Re: Hip-hop Mash-ups I made
Thanks man, I enjoyed your stuff too. I also use audacity to record samples because its so simple and resource friendly, I use adobe audition for my main editor tho. You should deffinitley check out some of the names I listed for you I think you will enjoy it. Keep up the good work man I always love to hear new music coming from individuals who really love their crafts.
Re: Hip-hop Mash-ups I made
Very nice, I like the Johnny Cash one a lot.

It has been announced this week that Slough Borough Council (SBC) Cabinet has approved the closure of Gurney House, in Upton Road, Slough, which provides general residential care for nine elderly residents.
A report presented to Cabinet before the meeting on Monday stated in Slough, there has been a decline in the number of elderly people needing general residential care, while demand for care of elderly people with mental health issues – for example Alzheimers or dementia – has increased.
The report said the council needs to ensure services are commissioned 'which meet the needs of local people and reflect the changing requirements for care and support.'
Mike Bibby, assistant director of personalisation, commissioning and partnerships, said no other viable care provider had been found to take over the home.
Services at the Bupa-run home, which employs 46 staff, could be decommissioned by February next year.
Rhona McLeod, regional director for Bupa Care Homes, said: "Our concern remains the wellbeing of residents and to ensure good standards of care are maintained.
"We understand this is an unsettling time for residents, their families and our staff, and we will continue to work closely with Slough Borough Council to support them all through this process." Mr Bibby added staff, who were told of the recommendation on Friday, November 30, could be redeployed in homes nearby.
In the future the Gurney House site could be used 'to meet the needs of local people'.

Venture Investors Prefer Funding Handsome Men
Studies by Alison Wood Brooks and colleagues reveal that investors prefer pitches from male entrepreneurs over those from female entrepreneurs, even when the content of the pitches is identical. And handsome men fare best of all.
If you're in search of startup funding, it pays to be a good-looking guy.
A series of three studies reveals that investors prefer pitches from male entrepreneurs over those from female entrepreneurs, even when the content of the pitches is identical. Attractive men are the most persuasive pitchers of all, the studies show.
The findings are detailed in the paper Investors Prefer Entrepreneurial Ventures Pitched by Attractive Men, published in the March 2014 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Our paper provides concrete proof that gender discrimination exists in the context of entrepreneurial pitching," says Alison Wood Brooks, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School who coauthored the paper with Laura Huang, an assistant professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania; Sarah Wood Kearney, a visiting scholar at the MIT Sloan School of Management; and Fiona E. Murray, associate dean of innovation at Sloan and Kearney's thesis adviser.
"Our paper provides concrete proof that gender discrimination exists in the context of entrepreneurial pitching"
As a behavioral psychologist, Brooks studies the situational variables that influence personal persuasion. Kearney, her twin sister, is an entrepreneur and scholar whose research is fueled by both a frustration with and curiosity about the dearth of venture capital for women. (In the first half of 2013, companies with at least one female founder secured some 13 percent of total venture funding, up from 4 percent in 2004, according to data from PitchBook.) Murray is Kearney's thesis adviser. Huang, whom Brooks met in the initial stages of their research, studies the role of "gut feel" in investment decisions.
In their first study, the research team examined video recordings of 90 randomly selected pitches from three real-life entrepreneurial pitch competitions, held in various United States locations over a three-year period. In each case, a panel of angel investors had judged the pitches and awarded startup capital to the winners.
The researchers recruited a separate panel of 60 seasoned angel investors to watch the videos and code them across several measures, including physical attractiveness—rating the entrepreneurs on a scale of 1 (very unattractive) to 7 (very attractive). The coders were blind to the actual competition results.
The analysis showed a significant relationship between an entrepreneur's gender and whether a pitch had been successful. Male entrepreneurs were 60 percent likelier to receive a funding prize than were female entrepreneurs. Among those male entrepreneurs, investor-deemed attractiveness led to a 36 percent increase in pitch success. But for female entrepreneurs, their looks had no apparent effect on the success of their pitches.
The second study was an experiment designed to isolate the effect of gender on pitch persuasiveness. The researchers used 521 participants to watch two entrepreneurial pitch videos online. In each case, one of the pitches had won funding in real life. Participants in the experiment, roughly half of whom were women, were tasked with guessing the actual winner, with the incentive of a monetary reward for a correct guess.
The pitches included still images and a voiceover narration by the entrepreneur. This format enabled the researchers to assign a gender to the entrepreneur—dubbing in a male voice for some videos and a female voice for others, while the content of the narrations remained identical.
All else being equal, 68.33 percent of participants favored ventures pitched by male voices, while only 31.67 percent chose female-voiced pitches. Importantly, the gender effect held steady regardless of the "investor's" gender.
"We saw the same discriminatory effects between male and female participants," Brooks says.
In the third study, 194 participants each watched only one pitch video. As in the previous study, the researchers manipulated the gender of the voiceover each time. Additionally, they accompanied each video with a photo, which varied according to a scientific scale of physical attractiveness. "We manipulated attractiveness using four faces: one high-attractiveness and one low-attractiveness female face, and one high-attractiveness and one low-attractiveness male face," Brooks explains. "We used photos that had been used in previous research and validated as highly attractive or unattractive, and we also ran our own pilot study to ensure that the faces uniquely manipulated attractiveness."
Each participant rated the investment potential of the venture on a scale of one to seven. As with the previous studies, participants awarded higher ratings to pitches with male voices—deeming the male pitches more "persuasive," "fact-based," and "logical" than otherwise identical female pitches. Additionally, the participants preferred pitches from the "high-attractiveness" male entrepreneurs over those from "low-attractiveness" men. But looks had no significant effect on whether female-voiced entrepreneurs fared well.
In the secondary stages of their exploration, the researchers plan to dive deeper into gender dynamics. Among the questions they are pursuing: What happens when the female entrepreneur is perceived as stereotypically masculine vs. feminine? Is a female entrepreneur more likely to be funded if her business targets female customers? Will a successful track record increase a woman's chances of securing capital?
Brooks is hardly shocked by the results of the studies thus far. "I was surprised to find the effects consistently across both field and lab settings," she says. "But, in general, I find our results to be more sad than surprising."
Still, she's hopeful that the research provides a wake-up call to the venture capital industry.
"Awareness is a critical first step," Brooks says. "Though gender in entrepreneurship has become a hot topic (Sheryl Sandberg's wonderful Lean In and Ban Bossy campaigns, for example), we haven't seen much concrete data on the topic until now. We hope this research leads investors and entrepreneurs to become more supportive of male and female entrepreneurs alike."

It's taken this long for this fact to be declared? My goodness, I could have told the researchers this 30 years ago when I was attempting to launch a healthcare start-up. It was clear even during the following decades that venture capitalists and angel investors rarely found merit in ideas put forth by women (can't speak about less attractive men vs more attractive men), not only from my own experience but that of a number of other female entrepreneurs who were also stymied. Thank you for conducting this study. I hope it helps change a few perceptions.

While it's discouraging only 22.67% of the investors studied were gender-blind, as a female entrepreneur seeking funding, what I'd like to know is what were the common attributes among investors who were willing to invest equally in women and men?
Did these investors tend to be younger/older, male/female, fathers of daughters, etc? Were they more focused on seed or later stage financing? What about assets under management? What did they study undergrad - engineering? Etc.
I cannot control my gender or perceived attractiveness, but I can control who I pitch to.
Research focused on proving that discrimination against women exists is, as Brooks says, "more sad than surprising."
Research focused on identifying how and where women can be successful is Working Knowledge that's empowering.
I wish HBS would focus its research and communications more on success, and less on telling us the world is stacked against us.

After many years in the venture industry, I believe that attractive people do receive some level of preference. Whether due to biology or Hollywood, our society is excessively tilted toward attractive people of either gender, giving them an edge in leadership and salesmanship. Since professional investors are economic realists, I think they tend to amplify any societal bias, fair or unfair, that will create business advantage for the startup.
Attractiveness bias is common in so many areas of culture and business that its influence should be no surprise and is instead a distraction from the real issue.
The question of gender bias in capital allocation is a very important one. Too few women seek, and too few receive, startup financing. A better understanding of the reasons and trends might help women entrepreneurs and reduce the disparity.
With regard to further research, please keep in mind that studies based on the behavior of angel investors provide small value in understanding the behavior of the professional venture capital community on a question like this. Independents investing their own wealth as it suits them operate under very different influences than full-time professionals who are subject to shared decision-making and accountable to their own investors' professional investment managers.

Is this such a surprise? Watch the Oscars. They can't seem to give that award to anyone who is an elderly woman or homely. Our patriarchal society slants things and remains on such a superficial level. I am surprised that you need to do studies on this. The female entrepreneurs of all time were not funded by angels. They did it on their own.

Maybe this isn't discrimination. Maybe the ones doing the funding know that men, after having been funded, will have an easier time in accomplishing the next step. Therefore, all things being equal, fund the one with the best chances of giving the investor a good ROI in a shorter time frame.
Reminds me of adoption: bio mom wants the kid but has no money and no partner so she is urged to give the kid to a family that can give it a good home. We could fund her, for her little start up, it belongs to her, but we don't. We give the kid away to a "better" home, just like investors give their money to a home perceived to be a better fit for something to thrive.
Sad scenarios, both of them. I do my own gender testing all the time. I often use a gender neutral screen name (that is likely to be seen as more male than female) on a controversial topic. Gender neutral me is always treated much better and with more respect than female name me.

Obviously an attractive male is perceived as having the package but good looks on a female not only compromises her perceived intelligence but conspires against her in meaningful business dealings. Similar to if professional men have children, they are celebrated and patted on the back but if professional women with children are always suspect of their abilities. The more things change, the more they stay exactly the SAME!!

Our focus is on Professions, Business, and Careers. We have revealed a substantial female "gap" - a solution: having more women at the forefront of family, church and temple, civic, educational, and non business groups and activities has seemed to be a subtle method of breaking the female "prison". Like it or not - the mere disclosure of the "gap" and more laws penalizing "Gap Goers" only impacts in a negative manner. The process - not the "beefing" works. God Bless, Al

This is quite a sentence for females and less-than-attractive males. Or are we relying too much on the that phrase in the article -- that the "content" of the pitches were indeed all "identical"?
The reality of an entrepreneur presenting a pitch is not simply a rather masculine- or feminine-looking face looming while unfeeling "content" transmits from looming face to the judging investor. The experience is between somewhat unique individuals rife with inflections of pitch and motion, of posture and pause. The research presented here doesn't make it clear that the researchers were sensitive to (and appropriately controlled for) variances in vocal quality and nonverbal behavior in what famed communication researcher Albert Mehrabain might have called the most important 93% of communication! If you are the investor, for example, you should expect to feel differently hearing: "We DO have interesting RESULTS!" versus "We do...have INTERESTING...results..."
In other words, how did the researchers control for the variation of individual performance in vocal quality and body language?
But honestly if I had to guess, and even if the researchers appropriately controlled for the nonverbal individual performance of the entrepreneurs, one would likely still observe a similar difference between sex/gender and attractiveness (disclosure: I did not assess the methods used to control for "identical content" directly from the original research by Brooks).
Bias and discrimination are not new aspects of research. But neither are performance development and adaptation. I urge interested researchers such as Brooks to consider more thoroughly examining and characterizing the individual performance and behavioral factors associated with the outcome effects associated with the group cohorts identified here. Once the research team can say, for example, "the most effective ways the moderately attractive female cohort improved outcomes were by: 1) reducing overall spoken word rate by increasing total duration of pauses between phrases, and 2) intentionally lowering vocal pitch at the end of pre-determined key statements", the business community now has the potential for change in the original problem.
I hope this criticism encourages researchers in this field to approach research questions such that the subject cohorts gain insights on factors they can change, not those they were born with.

Gender considerations are not observed to have much relevance in India at least. It surprises me that in US the other important factors seem to have become secondary in investment decisions. If good personality is the major success factor, decision making can be faulty and lead to losses. All decisions need, therefore, to be taken after a detailed cosideration of all the basic and important parameters.

This is a great article. I have gone to tech pitch events in NYC where I was the only woman. I have been trying to raise funding for my biochemical lab company for 3 years. Many of the companies run by white men did not even have business plans but they received money. They did not have to prove they knew their subject matter. Many did not need multiple degrees.

Ann's 'better home' hypothesis is well worth further study. For example if investors were actually told the idea came from a man or woman but would be progressed by the man/woman giving the pitch would it matter? Maybe men are seen as better guardians of the status-quo and women might change things too much - but I'm guessing.

(a) Physical attractiveness of a man indicates he is ready to do battle and overcome obstacles and enemies. Physical attractiveness of a woman has a totally different meaning. The German chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel (according to Forbes the most influential woman in the world) is ready to fight any time and has been reelected twice already, the Germans love her, but nobody would call her physically attractive. (b) The voice reveals much: For instance, how you are breathing and why; your level of stress and cortisol; your level of anxiety, fear and confidence; your muscle tonus and tensions in your body; your determination and resolve; your readiness to do battle; your warmth or lack thereof. If you didn't learn to "read" a voice as a child, 10 years of practicing martial arts, singing in a choir and conducting high-stakes negotiations help. You might try to consider and measure what the voice reveals before coming to conclusions.

AND. the Big Sky is just our short-lived stepping stone to bigger things, just as it was for Boise State. Can't wait to leave the Montanans to play in their sandbox
Can't wait to see Adams at RB
Given the O's coverage, you wouldn't think we get any players into the NFL
Any one else planning on tailgating at the game?
Ditto your comments, John. Looks like Torre is a genius.
Slightly arrogant? Your comment proves my point exactly, O-hole. I'll continue to root for the team from Oregon's LARGEST university, Portland THE STATE University. Go VIKS!
Ditto that! And to be leading the FCS? Wow!
Casey - I don't think most people reading thsi know what happened w/ Mr. Meredith and his determined efforts to kill PSU. You might enlighten them. On another note, I echo John Whearty's comments about the PSU/TCU game. I stayed in Texas to watch Cody Worthen and SMU play TCU yesterday. Wow! What a game! SMU knocked off #20 TCU AT TCU in OT. It appeared obvious - to me at least - that June Jones watched our game film. They opened up by running the football, and TCU once again had difficulty. Followed the ISU game on my phone... nice bounce back win. I encourage EVERYONE who reads this to get not one - but TWO - friends to come to the MSU game. We can't be outnumbered by Bobcat fans. Go Viks!
Point taken. My apologies.
Go Viks!
John - Too negative, perhaps? Maybe I should've lit a candle instead of cursing the "O-holes"?
Funny how all of the oh-so-extremely-polite Duck fans cannot fathom how a kid could graduate (he did - from Texas Tech) and CHOOSE to play another year of college football at Portland - the STATE -University (Oregon's LARGEST university, BTW - 30,000 undregraduates and growing). He had a year of eligibility left and decided to return home.
Get over it, Duck nation.
Greasezerk- First, I wonder why you choose to hide like a little school girl behind a foolish moniker.
Second, if you even understood Portland State's - the STATE university - history, you would know that despite the UofO's desperate attempt to kill Portland State, PSU grew out of Vanport College... the "Vanport Vikings" had alliteration.
Did NO ONE else see what I saw? To quote, "The offense got on the board with three touchdowns, two extra points, a two-point conversion and 22 first downs". This, especially the last stat (22 first downs) is not indicative of a huge improvement in the D!
Save the taxpayers LOTS of money and get rid of OSU and WOU! Portland State is the LARGEST University in the state, and it makes no sense to have those two schools in addition to Portland state and UofO.

how to use a network share folder (CIFS) on a service group?
I have below environment,
node 1 & node 2
SFW HA 6.0.1, Windows 2008 R2
node 3 with shared folder (\\node3\folder) use as Vault Store
EV service group
i need \\node3\folder to be part of EV service group and failed over between nodes as part of EV cluster. it should only be mounted on active node and not on the passive node. can i do this? if so, how?
normal way i can mount a share via CLI like "c:\ net use Z: \\node3\folder", is there a resource where i can only specify this syntax so it will be part of the service group and the failover process?
Comments 4 Comments • Jump to latest comment
If node3 is part of the cluster and you want to share \folder using VCS, then the resource type you need to use is "FileShare" - see the VCS bundled agent guide http://sort-cdn.symantec.com/public/documents/sfha/6.0.1/windows/productguides/pdf/VCS_BundledAgents_6.0.1.pdf- here it gives an example:
FileShare FileShare_SG-FileShare (PathName = "\\ToShare"ShareName = ToShareLanmanResName = FileShare_SG-LanmanMaxUsers = 100MountResName = FileShare_SG-MountVUserPermissions = { "VCSNET\\Administrator" = READ_ACCESS }ShareSubdirectories = 1HideChildShares = 1AccessBasedEnumeration = 1)

Thanks Mike for the post.
You're right on the 2nd part, node 3 is not part of the cluster nodes. It can share the folder as nfs for unix but the cluster nodes are Windows so CIFS is in use.
If that is not possible, I might go with the trigger script. How can i include that on the service group? what resource i can use? can you pls tell me more about that a sit seems to be my only hope.
A trigger script is not a resource it is a script that is run for specific events, so you could use:
preonline trigger: Mount share, just before EV service group is onlined
postonline trigger: Mount share, just after EV service group completes its online
To implement the trigger you need to copy the trigger from %VCS_HOME%\bin\sample_triggers to %VCS_HOME%\bin\triggers. These triggers are written in perl
All triggers apart from preonline are automatically enabled once you put there in the triggers directory, so if you use preonline you need to set "PreOnline" = 1 for the EV service group. If you use postonline, the postonline script will run for all service groups so if you have other service groups you will need an "if" statement so the script only mounts the share for the EV service group.
Example if you use postonline, then your code (perl) will be something like:
$group = $ARGV[1];
if ($group eq "EV") {
VCSAG_SYSTEM("net use Z: \\node3\folder");

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus sees NFL popularity maintaining its perch
As a popular television sport, the National Football League remains the lord of all it surveys.
For example, through eight playoff telecasts on Fox, CBS and NBC, six of them account for the highest-rated programs on TV this season. The eight telecasts have averaged 32.4 million viewers a game, 5% off from last season when they averaged 34.1 million.
But if you see the ranking of the season's highest-rated shows on broadcast television, NFL games account for all of the top ten, all of the top 20 and all of the top 30. If you include cable, only the BCS Championship between Alabama and Notre Dame makes it on the list, at 12th overall.
But will the NFL enjoy the same measure of popularity as a television sport 10 years from now, 15 years from now, given the significant concerns about the safety and long-term health issues for players?
We posed that question to Sean McManus, the chairman of CBS Sports, whose network will televise Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 from New Orleans.
In a conference call with reporters this week, McManus admitted that when he has been on such calls in the last few years related to the NFL, "I seem to be, I guess, consumed with hyperbole," and went on to explain why he regularly has found himself in that mode.
McManus cited four viewership numbers that indicated to him the NFL "just keeps getting bigger and bigger in the television universe":
- The last two years of NFL games were the highest-rated on CBS since 1995.
- The Steelers at Broncos wildcard playoff game in the 2011 season was the most-viewed of any wild card game in at least 25 years.
- The Ravens at Broncos playoff game this season was the most-watched AFC divisional game on a Saturday in 26 years.
- Since last summer seven programs on broadcast TV have had more than 30 million viewers. All seven of them have been NFL games.
McManus said there has been "no indication on or off the field" that anything has affected ratings for NFL games, but that should not be seen as an invitation to minimize the importance of health and safety of the players.
"I don't think anybody has the answer to that question," McManus (left) said about the future popularity of the NFL. "But relatively speaking, when you look at the NFL compared to all other kinds of programming on television, it keeps getting stronger and stronger. . . . I would expect that to happen for many years.
"With respect to the perception of the game and the player safety issues – those are very, very important issues that potentially could affect the viewership. I'm hoping and am confident that the NFL can . . . take the steps to make the game safer."
McManus said "the quality of the programming, the competition on the field, the storylines, and the fact that some of these players are really bigger-than-life characters" make him confident the NFL will remain strong.
"There are issues everybody needs to continue to deal with and pay attention to and not go merrily skipping down the road just assuming we are going to be as dominant with the NFL ten years from now as we are today," McManus said. "Those issues do have to be addressed and I think they are important and I think there is some liability out there if they are not paid attention to."

I posted in the 5.0b9 thread on this and there's no b10 thread yet, but the options are still missing.
right-clicking the tray icon used to give you options for the speed limiter/etc. which was really handy if i noticed bandwidth being used too much and didn't want to maximize the window (performance could be going slow at that moment), etc.
could we please get the options back in the tray icon? I am unsure as to why they were removed in the first place.
More controls with less screen estate = win all around.

Siri may well sound like it wants to be your friend, but unfortunately it really isn't personal, have a friend pick up your locked iPhone 4S and Siri will spill the beans on almost anything
Apple should have warned its customers about the Apple iPhone 4S Siri security flaw, which enables third parties to access users' personal information using Siri, even when the screen is locked, a security expert said.
Yesterday, T3 reported that potential thieves can ask Siri, Apple's new voice-recognition software, for users' personal details without having to enter a passcode. At the press of the Home button, a person is able to send texts, emails and request calendar information without having to unlock the homescreen.
Alan Goode, managing director of mobile security firm Goode Intelligence, said: "The vulnerability discovered in Apple's new voice recognition service, Siri, is a serious one, and one that should not have been released into the live.
"The positive thing is that accessing some of the more sensitive services in this manner, such as email, is forbidden.
He continued: "But I could still run up a pretty impressive and annoying phone bill if I had malicious intent and if Apple missed this pretty easy to find vulnerability then what other security threats are hiding in Apple's latest mobile OS?"
The setting isn't a permanent one - users have the option of switching it off by disabling the option to enable Siri at passcode lock - however Goode argues that because this setting was set at default without users' acknowledgement, many iPhone 4S owners would have been unaware of the potential risks they were exposing themselves to.
He said: "We feel that this option should have been the default option that Apple should have configured on all devices and then let the user decide whether they want to take the risk of someone accessing text, call and appointment services without entering the correct passcode.
Another expert, Graham Cluely, from the security software firm Sophos, summed up his concerns about Apple's decision. He said: "What's disappointing to me though is that Apple had a clear choice here. They could have chosen to implement Siri securely, but instead they decided to default to a mode which is more about impressing your buddies than securing your calendar and email system."
Goode added: "Perhaps by the time that Siri is fully functioning in the UK Apple will have seen sense and change the default setting."
Apple iPhone 4S: Features
With an improved A5 processor and the inclusion of iOS 5 the iPhone 4S has seen phenomenal sales over the weekend, and with Siri embedded so deeply into how the phone operates it'll be interesting to see how everyday consumers will react to the news.
With the upcoming release of Android's Ice Cream Sandwich which also has improved voice-functionality and the unveiling of the Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy Nexus the iPhone 4S will certainly start coming under pressure to still be the top dog.
What do you think, have Apple chosen gimmicks over genuine security? Let us know what you think via the comments box below...

School of Health & Human Services
The School of Health and Human Services is a multidisciplinary school that prepares undergraduate and graduate students for professional careers in communication disorders, marriage and family therapy, nursing, public health, recreation and leisure studies, and social work. It is the only school in Connecticut to gather these disciplines under a single umbrella, a structure that allows its academic opportunities to be highly interdisciplinary. The School is committed to educating students through state-of-the-art teaching strategies that integrate and emphasize discipline-specific and interdisciplinary research, scholarship, best professional practice, and community service.
The professional programs within the School rely on an integrated liberal arts and sciences foundation and specialized knowledge to prepare beginning and advanced practitioners who demonstrate mastery of knowledge in their field, are able to communicate critically and effectively, develop creative solutions to problems, are culturally competent, are flexible and adaptable to changes in their field, are cognizant of local and global environmental effects on their practice, and are committed to continuing their professional development.
Faculty members and students explore how practice, research, and theory building interact as they respond to such community health and human service issues as alcohol and substance abuse, AIDS, family violence, child abuse, primary health care needs, elderly recreation services, and the relationship between poverty and nutrition.
In 2003, the School of Health and Human Services completed two years of work on a Strategic Plan that commits to regional pre-eminence and currently guides the direction and development of the school and its departments over the next five years (2003-2008).

Matt McInerney Scores With Redesigned NFL Team Logos
This ongoing project by designer Matt McInerney is a personal challenge. The logos are unsolicited, unofficial, and designed purely for fun. The process does not reflect real world circumstances.
Matt took it upon himself to redesign NFL team logos using the team colors and a more modern and streamlined approach to their icons. After Fast Company brought his work to the forefront, Matt learned that some people are incredibly attached to their team's logos and as a result, he received some negative feedback. But he makes it clear that his intention is not a proposal to change all the NFL Team's marks but rather a personal project exercising his design skills and talent.
For actual comparison (and to offer something more than you will find on his own site and in the Fast Co. article), I have placed the NFL Team's Official Primary Logos on the left and Matt's versions on the right. In two cases (Minnesota Viking and Houston texans) Matt designed an alternate version as well.
St. Louis Rams:
Buffalo Bills:
San Francisco 49ers:
Detroit Lions:
Green Bay Packers:
Seattle Seahawks:
Pittsburgh Steelers:
Tennessee Titans:
Minnesota Vikings:
Minnesota Vikings (alt version):
Miami Dolphins:
New Orleans Saints:
Oakland Raiders:
New York Jets:
Cleveland Browns:
Kansas City Chiefs:
Chicago Bears:
Indianapolis Colts:
Houston Texans:

There are a couple that might make it. The Seahawks looks like the old Atlanta Hawks logo (Maravich era), the Bears looks like the old Cubs logo, Buffalo looks like a steer and no offense, the Raiders looks like a bomb shelter/gas mask sticker

Dropping out of school, drumming, and mental health (sort of)
Ok, so here it goes (I'll get to the part about drumming, I swear): My name is Taylor. I'm 19 years old. I graduated highschool in January of 2008. After that, I took some time off from school; I tried some community college classes but anxiety/depression/not knowing how to deal with my father's death when I was 16 (I'm still working on that one) got the best of me and I just stopped going to classes. Then, almost a year ago now, I headed on down to college just outside of Asheville, NC.
I loved it there. Things were going great until I went to a protest with some friends in April; we got tear-gassed. It was my first action; we were all running as street-medics doing eye-flushes and whatnot. Anyway, I can't say I regret it, but I won't be doing anything like that again. I've since dealt with PTSD from the event: I saw a kid, only a year older than myself, get his knee dislocated by a police officer. I was almost trampled by a crowd pushing against the police barricade. It was terrible.
I get back to school and my life (more specifically my mental health)--which had been looking pretty "up" while at college--started to take a turn for the worse. I got a bunch of panic attacks and I couldn't deal with life on a day-to-day level. I went off my meds (Adderall for ADHD) and flunked my chem class. I decided to take some time off from school (again).
I come home. I started playing music with my guitarist buddy; I hadn't been drumming for about 2 years at this point, other than for a 6-month period about a year before. We were playing every day for hours. It was great. I was dedicated to getting an album put together (we had most of the songs; we just had to record/polish). He said he was, but about a month ago he stopped calling/whatever. It's due to his own mental health issues. In the meantime I had neglected to re-apply to school for the spring semester as I planned because we were focusing on music. I will admit to feeling a bit slighted by my friend: I can't hold him completely to blame, but I hate that I'm not i) playing music with someone else every day and/or ii) going back to school in a month.
While we were playing together, I was busting my ass but I still had more energy than I do right now. I work 45-50 hours a week, and I would go straight to his place after work every day to play. I was exhausted all the time, but I was really enjoying life. In the past month I've been playing alone (I bought The Art of Bop Drumming), but it's just not the same. I don't know if it's because this whole process is starting to wear on me or because I'm depressed, but I don't have the energy to play at the end of the day any more: tonight I got off work, came home, ate dinner, and sat behind my drum kit. I found that, after only 10 minutes, I couldn't focus. By this time every day my Adderall has worn off and I've worked 10 hours. I can't even make myself do the one thing that is keeping me happy until I can go back to school, and that's drumming. I would talk to my doctor about getting my meds changed but my health insurance was canceled due to the fact that I'm not a full-time student. I know things will work out but sometimes it seems kinda rough.
Ok, I'm sorry if this seemed like a sob-story. I just needed to vent a little bit; it's nice to believe that someone might be listening.
Re: Dropping out of school, drumming, and mental health (sort of)
Well writing all this stuff out can't hurt. Identifying issues is the first step in resolving them.
Sounds like something that a good woman would be able to help you with. You're not alone.
Re: Dropping out of school, drumming, and mental health (sort of)
You should find somebody else to play with, you've got to keep that creative outlet open. Even if it's not a gig your totally into it's better than not playing with other people.
Is there any possibility to work less hours? If there's not maybe you should find a different job that allows you more time to pursue your music. If your not planning on staying at that job for the next couple of years it's probably not worth killing yourself over it.
Keep your head up, take things one day at a time. Time is the only thing that is going to help with your ptsd. I know what it's like, and sometimes you just really need something in your life to take your mind off things.
Re: Dropping out of school, drumming, and mental health (sort of)
I don't know if this will help. But when I'm between playing situations, want to work on stuff, need to pump up some chops before an upcoming gig or just want to play... NOW - I play with CDs. I've been playing for 45 years - and as my only profession for 35 - and I still play with records/CDs regularly. For me, playing with other players is where I honed and polished the skills that I learned and developed playing to records.
At least, it might give you a controllable outlet for your playing until some of the other stuff in your life pulls itself together.
Best of luck with everything,
Re: Dropping out of school, drumming, and mental health (sort of)
Yeah, play alongs and just any recordings you like would be helpful. Here's a link to a set of play along cds you can download off the net:

Austin Healey's wife takes on China charity challenge
Posted: April 09, 2014|
The wife of former Leicester Tigers player Austin Healey has flown to China to run, cycle and trek its Great Wall in aid of a charity.
Louise Healey, from Oakham, left the UK on Sunday with 13 others to take on the charity challenge for the British Lung Foundation (BLF). The team has already raised £30,000.
The six-day trip will include two half marathons, a 155km cycle ride and a two-day trek along the Great Wall and will finish at the Beijing Olympic stadium.
Louise said she was inspired to take on the challenge after Austin's mother died from lung cancer six years ago.
She said: "The BLF is quite a poignant charity for us as a family.
"Austin was the one who pushed me to do it as I love training but needed a challenge.
"We have four girls, so the biggest challenge for me has been fitting the training around them and then leaving them for 10 days.
"I'm really chuffed with the sponsorship. I've already raised more than £7,500 and I'm hoping for at least £10,000."
The challenge has been organised by Amanda Evans, in honour of her father, former MP David John Evans, who died from the lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in 2008.
So far, Amanda has raised more than £100,000 for the BLF through previous challenges.
The BLF said one person in five in the UK was affected by lung disease, with millions more are at risk.
The charity aims to promote understanding, offer support to those affected and fund research into disease.
Dr Penny Woods, chief executive of the charity, said: "We are so grateful to Louise and her teammates who together have raised an incredible £30,000.
"Their efforts, testing themselves to the limit by taking on this never-before-attempted challenge, will help fund research into conditions such as IPF and lung cancer – dreadful diseases that often kill with devastating speed and which impact on so many lives.
"By helping the BLF find new treatments for lung disease, I've no doubt that the efforts of Louise and the team now will help us save lives in the future."

Birthday Gift scarf
By MotorCity23
from Oakland County, Michigan
I ordered this gift for my son-in-law's birthday. I did the entire process on line, and quickly, never actually "feeling" the material.I was pleasantly surprised by the entire process. The item was shipped promptly and received faster than I could imagine by my son-in-law in NYC. He sent me a text thank you with a picture of him and this scarf. I am sure he will enjoy for many NYC fall/winters to come!
Looking Good and Feeling Warm
By The Cat
from Texas
I never wore men's scarves before but have friends that do, so I purchased my first scarves for pure fashion. I'm glad I did! I felt great, I received so many compliments, and as a bonus they kept me warm! They add a great look to my camel hair top coat that I also purchased from Jos A. Bank. Highly recommend. Great quality and price.
Nice scarf
By Bob
from Palatine, IL
Very warm and very handsome scarf. It comes in multiple color schemes so you can find one to match just about anything. I have a black overcoat, so any color could really go with it, but this was a great one. Reasonably priced for cashmere, it still is of the quality I've come to expect from Jos A Banks.

Dear site designers, the new front page is a bit AOLish. Seems designed for the vision impaired or the internet newbie. I implore you to, please, abandon your current concept.
This is not something I ask because I resist change--I am adaptable. I ask because, presently, the design you've got now is change for the worse. I am not amenable to going backwards from something that was familiar and good to something that is new but worse.
Please, I hope your team has a meeting and musters the courage to do a 180 degree turn on this idea (or at least a 90 degree turn) and write it off as experience.
Thanks (and I mean that.)
I feel ya dude. But, I had WWL's site bookmarked for awhile and they just don't update it as frequently as nola.com did and it seems on weekends--everybody's off work at WWL.
I'm holding out for a return to sanity here at nola.com...but I'm open for suggestions of other sites where I can get local news.
Please, nola.com, don't be afraid to cry uncle and return to a redesign without all the java.
This is a stated goal of the redesign, "new ways to find the stories and features you care about fast."
The word "fast" is the most important aspect of surfing the web for information. That's why I prefer the news headlines to appear at-a-glance vs my having to fly around hunting for them.
I prefer that the stories appear on the home page in list form, perhaps two columns, one for news and one for Sports/Entertainment.
Is there any chance that you would reconsider and let go of the fly over menu concept? You seem pretty deeply invested in it but, clearly, you must admit that having headlines at-a-glance is more convenient for users (and um...therefore a superior concept in terms of "fast").
I would like to present examples of I what I'd like to see. The first example is of a website that's way to busy with info: http://www.guardiannews.com. The page is a visual cacophony--broken lines and a patchwork quilt of images.
By contrast: http://espn.go.com/nfl. I like how the page has a feature article on the left and a list of news items to its right.
I am hoping that the redesigned nola.com can better use the space that the user first glimpses when coming to the site, appreciating the goal of reducing clutter.
Thanks again for providing news and a comment forum.
When the home page appears, I only see two headlines for news and lots of generic menus for information. I come to nola.com for news and information, perhaps you'll consider a more compact presentation of headline news--like a punch list we can scroll down and select the stories we're interested in.
Also, could the "jobs/autos/real estate.../local business" menu share the same bar with the "NEWS/BUSINESS/SPORTS...LIVING" menu ? I can get used to the floating banner but please consider the screen space that it takes up as we scroll down.
Thanks, I'm sure this redesign is a work in progress.
Oops. I meant "the Archbishop and Msgr Nalty who should have resolved this prior to heading out for retreat.
p.s. That's some irony there, no? Spiritual retreat vs. actual "retreat". Heh.
I think it's a shame that the archdiocese has taken to using the NOPD to do its "dirty work". Though the reason for the closings are largely financial, the archdiocese ignores the spiritual aspects of community and family and should have sent a priest (not a spokesperson nor passively through a church bulletin) to each Parish to announce, explain and encourage the faithful throughout these tough changes. Guess they got spoiled by relying on automatic, dogmatic obedience for so long.
On the other hand, displaced parishoners should ask themselves how much of their desire to support their churches is rooted in personal convenience or sentimentality vs. a genuine desire to keep catholic services viable longterm.
Sorry to sound trite when I say change is hard, but what we have here is largely a failure to communicate and I lay that blame at the feet of the Archbishop who should have resolved this prior to heading out for retreat.

Hello 2014!!!
I can already tell this is going to be a year filled with abundance, and I'm hitting the ground running! I am back on set (just started yesterday) with Bobby and Alton for another season of Next Food Network Star and I'm pretty excited to see what these contestants can bring. But, before I had to return to "foodie duty", I had a pretty great holiday where I was able to totally unplug, relax, and spend some much wanted time with my family in Aspen! I took so many photos and videos, I thought my phone was going to have a meltdown… but it didn't, and now I can share some with you!
Jade learned to ski for the first time, and she LOVED it. She was a natural, which surprised nobody, since her Daddy was practically born with skis on! I think her favorite part was that he taught her. She was a fast learner and was ready to take a ride up to the top of the mountain in no time! Look at her go!
And this is what happens when I bite off more than I can chew on a cross-country trail…
It was an amazing time and I am so so grateful for all the memories we made. I can't wait for our next snowy adventure. And while we're on "adventure," the third book in my kids book series "Recipe for Adventure- Hong Kong!" is out TODAY!!! I am super proud of it and can't wait to hear what everyone thinks. One of my favorite things is seeing instagrams of kids making the recipes in the back of the books, so if you whip any of the Hong Kong treats with your little ones, make sure you share them with me!! @GDeLaurentiis
You can pick up your copy here
Here's to a great year ahead!! Bring it on, 2014! We're hungry and coming at you!
