I live in Florida but go to New Orleans 4-6 times a year. Its my favorite American city. I can't disagree enough with the contention that there isn't good coffee in NO.
Royal Blend Coffee is excellent. I've been ordering it and drinking it at home for 10 years. Their Morning Blend as a breakfast coffee and their Hawaiian Macadamia Nut (both regular and decaf) are outstanding.
As far as coffeehouses, PJ's is pretty solid. the coffee is good and the place is comfortable and relaxing.
The author of the story probably suffers from drinking too much Starbucks and its warped his thinking.

Or maybe a hotel outershell structure. You know, not an actual hotel but the appearance of one. Cast members playing along how it is impossible to book and how it has been booked for years. Even have characters rushing to check into a room passing people to the front desk aka the cash register of a shop.

My Rating
Besides Pompeii site been one of those places you have to visit as it is so unique, all staff (driver, local guide and tour coordinator) were very gentle and nice! At lunch we could have a more choices of pizza, but the margarita was just fine.
Miami, Florida
My Rating
Perfect to know the most important places. Nice and friendly guides
Miami, Florida
My Rating
We could have had more time at the Everglades after the airboat (We couldn't heat properly!) But we enjoyed it a lot.

Product description
Craving pleasure as well as knowledge, Raphael Sanzio was quick to realize that his talent would only be truly appreciated in the liberal, carefree and extravagantly sensual atmosphere of Rome during its golden age under Julius II and Leo X. Arriving in the city in 1508 at the age of twenty-five, he was entranced and seduced by life at the papal court and within a few months had emerged as the most brilliant star in its intellectual firmament. His art achieved a natural grace that was totally uninhibited and free from subjection. His death, at just thirty-seven, plunged the city into the kind of despair that follows the passing of an esteemed and much loved prince. In this major new biography Antonio Forcellino retraces the meteoric arc of Raphael s career by re-examining contemporary documents and accounts and interpreting the artist s works with the eye of an expert art restorer. Raphael s paintings are vividly described and placed in their historical context. Forcellino analyses Raphael s techniques for producing the large frescos for which he is so famous, examines his working practices and his organization of what was a new kind of artistic workshop, and shows how his female portraits expressed and conveyed a new attitude to women. This rich and nuanced account casts aside the misconceptions passed on by those critics who persistently tried to undermine Raphael s mythical status, enabling one of the greatest artists of all time to re-emerge fully as both man and artist.

What is Prevent?
The threat we face from terrorism is real and Prevent is built on the very simple concept that we can't arrest our way out of the problem. While we rightly focus on the significant threat posed by international terrorism and those in the UK who are inspired by it, we also work to reduce the threats, risks and vulnerabilities posed by domestic extremists such as the Far Right, Far Left, extreme Animal Rights activists and Northern Irish related terrorism.
Disrupting terrorist activity, preventing radicalisation and supporting those vulnerable to becoming involved in extremism is a shared responsibility under Prevent. Within Greater Manchester Police, a dedicated Prevent Team puts significant effort into building relationships with local police officers and other specialist departments, local partners and communities to:
- Increase multi-agency understanding of Prevent
- Build a shared understanding of threat, risk and vulnerability
- Work with partners to find common solutions
- Increase confidence within our communities.
How do we work with the public?
Prevent Engagement is a key part of our work. This can be best described as Neighbourhood Policing within a Counter Terrorism context.
Every Division in Greater Manchester has a dedicated Prevent Engagement Officer (PEO).
PEOs work with local communities to identify tensions and grievances. They build relationships with key community contacts to provide reassurance and help build resilience.
The team of officers aim to encourage ongoing discussions with communities in order to make sure that terrorism is prevented from taking root in our communities and neighbourhoods. They support the wider engagement activities already taking place in schools, places of worship and community groups for example. Through this work we are strengthening communities in order to challenge the ideologies and messages of hate which could lead to terrorism.
Partner Engagement is the key to building relationships with organisations and individuals locally who own a stake in managing risk and protecting vulnerable communities and individuals.
If you would like to find out more about the work of our PEOs please use our Find out more section. Alternatively, see who your local PEO is by clicking on the attachment to the right.
Awareness, Development and Briefing
Our Awareness, Development and Briefing team produces briefing products that allow us to share important information with communities on a range of counter terrorism issues.
Please click on the link on the right hand side to see the products that are available to you.
If you would like further information in relation to Prevent briefings or would like to book a briefing please use our Find out more section. All of our packages are free of charge.
Channel – Safeguarding Vulnerable People from Being Drawn into Terrorism
Channel is a key element of the Prevent strategy. It is a multi-agency approach to protect people at risk from radicalisation. Channel uses existing collaboration between Local Authorities, statutory partners (Adult, Youth and Children's Services such as Education, Health , Social Services, and offender management services), the police and the local community to:
- identify individuals at risk of being drawn into terrorism
- assess the nature and extent of that risk
- develop the most appropriate support plan for the individuals concerned.
Channel is about safeguarding children and adults from being drawn into committing terrorist-related activity. It is about early intervention to protect and divert people away from the risks they face.
If you would like further information on Channel please use our Find out more section. Alternatively, see who your local Channel Safeguarding Officer is by clicking on the attachment to the right.
If you have concerns about an individual potentially being radicalised please ring 101 quoting Channel. If it is an emergency please ring 999.

Bill for School Bus Ads in House
By William Croyle, The Kentucky Enquirer
A bill that would allow advertising on school buses could go to a vote in the House this week. House Bill 30, proposed by Rep. Terry Mills, D-Lebanon, and co-sponsored by six other legislators, would enable school district's to sell exterior advertising on buses. Similar legislation proposed last year passed the House but died in the Senate.

Last December, the Coast Guard discovered that a
ship upgrade program made the modified ships structurally unsound and subject
to breaking up in heavy seas. All eight of the modified 123 foot cutters (as
coast guard ships are called) have been removed from service after cracks were
found in the hull and decks. The 123 foot "Island Class" ships used to be 110
feet long and displace 154 tons. After 13 feet were added to the hull length,
ship displacement went to 166 tons. Crew size (16) didn't change, but top speed
(53 kilometers an hour) was reduced five percent. The ships are armed with a
25mm cannon, and two 12.7mm machine-gun. The original plan was to spend $100
million to modify all 49 of the 110 foot ships, so as to extend their useful
life (normally, 15 years) a bit, until a new class of cutters was built. The
modification also added a rear ramp for launching a small boarding party boat.
The modification program was already in trouble for
being behind schedule and over budget. Now the program is halted, and probably
dead. This leaves the coast guard short of ships right now, and in danger of
being in even more trouble over the next decade. The coast guard has 250
cutters, and the Island Class ships are a fifth of that. With the failure of
the Fast Response Cutter program, the coasties have to really hustle to even
get an off-the-shelf into service before many of their current ships are unfit
for service.
VT has designed an export version of the River Class for deployment
in a wide range of operations connected with Exclusive Economic Zone
(EEZ) protection, including disaster relief, anti-pollution,
firefighting, rescue work and interception.
The flexibility of the OPV design allows an overall increase in
length by insertion of a midship section to accommodate additional
crew, equipment and facilities. By making special provision to put the
ship's propulsion and electrical machinery aft and all the normal crew
accommodation in the forward section, the increase in overall length is
achieved without a significant re-design.
The baseline export vessel includes a flight deck for land-based
small / medium helicopters. The aviation facilities can be enhanced to
handle larger helicopters or to provide storage and maintenance
facilities for helicopters.

Why Wedding Bands are Important
Disclaimer: The following is a guest post and although have been approved by me, I do not necessarily agree with it 100%.
The wedding day is one of the most unforgettable moments in a person's life. It is meaningful and quite significant. As a matter of fact, this day is not just important for the ones getting married, but also for close friends and family. It is a life changing situation that affects everybody involved. Since this event is very important, all details should be properly taken into consideration. From the flowers, the reception venue, and accessories such as wedding bands, everything should be best, if not perfect. Wedding bands are considered iconic symbols of marriage and should be chosen accordingly.
One of the most popular options being used nowadays are diamond wedding bands. The classic appeal of diamonds as well as its timeless feel, combined with the durable quality of diamonds is a good representation of love and marriage. However, the use of diamonds in wedding bands is not available for everybody. Of course, there are other options available. Aside from diamonds, there are other gemstones available that can adorn these bands. While women may love diamonds, other gemstones are more personalized and customized. For instance, you can select gemstones that can match the bride's eye color or perhaps a cheaper, yet elegant gold or platinum band.
Nowadays, more couples are considering the use of matching wedding bands for their wedding day. For this option, the selection is varied. Most of the time, these bands are personalized according to the personalities of the couple. One advantage of choosing matching bands is that both of you can choose the style and design. Thus, it's a good practice of working well together. After all, you will be spending the rest of your lives together. There are also inexpensive yet lovely looking bands, perfect for your wedding day.
There are a lot of wedding bands available nowadays. Aside from the style and design, it is very important to select a material that is versatile. It is also important to select one which is able to play any type of genre that applies to both young couples, as well as mature ones. In order to achieve the best design, you may do a little research. It may even need appropriate advance booking just to avoid disappointment. Still, at the end of the day, you do not want to be disappointed. Thus, to avoid such unlikely situation, it is very important to find a wedding band that suits your personal requirements.

I recieved pix of my neice Ella but am not able to put them on the blog while at work, so I will share my beeeyewteeful honey bee with you once I get home (tomorrow night). Meanwhile, I am currently halfway through my first (36 hour) shift at my new station in Lion's Bay. It took me only ONE HOUR to get to work this morning, WITH TRAFFIC, and I am in heaven. This is a commute one can deal with! I will share with you a few observations regarding my new work environment.
I was very nervous to drive here today: mountains of new people to meet and prove myself to all at once are kind of intimidating. I almost had to pull over and throw up! And I didn't sleep last night so if I sound a bit rambly and weird, that's why. So, Lion's Bay is GORGEOUS!! The station is on a steep hill surrounded by lush forest with a stellar view of the ocean. There is a large creek next door which could almost pass as a waterfall because of the speed at which it moves, and the grade of the hill it courses down. You can actually sleep with the sound of this waterfall creek in your ears if you open the windows. I took some photos of the view today and will post them when I get home. What bliss!! There are two ambulances and they are BUSY--constantly in North Vancouver or in Squamish, or attending spectacular car crashes on the Sea to Sky, which bodes well for the finances. We get paid per call when part time, so the more crashes, the merrier. Obviously I don't wish people ill but if they are going to get hurt they may as well do it on my watch, in my jurisdiction. ;)
The station itself is immaculately clean, and I have never seen such organized and sparkling ambulance as the one I climbed into this morning. The crews I met were friendly and hard working, and around my age and stage in life, so that is great. All around, so far--only one day in so we'll see--I think Lion's Bay was a good move. I can't even begin to describe to you how good it feels to sit under these brilliant green trees and the juicy blue sky and listen to the water flow down the mountain. It is good for my soul. It makes me feel cleansed and happy, somehow. This feels like a fresh start, which I think I needed after some tense moments with my supervisor in Squamish, who liked to flex his management muscle and bully me around. He complained about my attitude when I fought back, and then he backed off, but still I tried to avoid him at all costs so it is nice not to have to accomodate for that anymore.
Hooray for Lion's Bay! I'm so glad it has been beautiful so far.

These photos that a Collider reader snagged from Steven Spielberg's War Horse set will calm your Monday morning nerves. I've been casually flipping through them with Enya on in the background and the outside world has melted away.
We haven't told you much about the film since its lead protagonist is an equine and SJ caters to people, but basically a horse named Joey is sold to the army during WWI and it wants to get back to the farm boy owner it left behind. It's a love story between a man and a beast, but not a Tijuana strip club sort of way.
Grab some Earl Grey and check out the pics after the jump…

KINGSTON, R.I. -- February 16, 2000 -- Hear ye! Hear Ye! The University
of Rhode Island Speech and Hearing Clinics in Kingston and Providence are
seeking individuals who wish to participate in a study designed to improve
satisfaction of those who use hearing aids.
As part of the study, researchers are offering compensation to individuals
who are accepted into the study. For information, call 401-874-5969, or
401-874-4292 to arrange an appointment. Appointments are available at either
the Kingston clinic in Adams Hall on Butterfield Road or the Providence
clinic at the URI Providence Campus on Washington Street.
The study is geared toward finding out why people turn off their hearing
aids and whether better communication with clinicians will address the problems.
Jay Singer, associate professor and department chair of the URI Department
of Communicative Disorders, and Dana Kovarsky, assistant professor communicative
disorders, are conducting the study.
"We are looking at how service delivery can be improved for people
who wear hearing aids," Kovarsky said.
In the first phase, begun about a year ago, Kovarsky said he and Singer
conducted a small group interview with adults who had previously had their
hearing tested and hearing aids fitted. They were asked how they were doing
with the hearing aids in everyday situations.
"Initially, the group reported that they were satisfied with the
hearing aids," Kovarsky said. "But we also discovered, in keeping
with literature we had read, that problems developed and up to one-third
of the group had turned off their hearing aids within a year.
"We need to address the misunderstanding about what hearing aid
technology can do," Kovarsky said.
Kovarsky said during the current phase, the discussions between the clinicians
and hearing aid users will be videotaped, transcribed and analyzed.
"We want to see where the communication breakdown is," Kovarsky
Those participating can take advantage of discounts on hearings aids
at the clinic where prices are already well below market rates.
"We want people to continue to use hearing aids over time,"
said Elizabeth Connors, clinic director. "Ultimately, we'd like the
hearing aid customer to be a more satisfied customer. We are trying to help
people with hearing loss enjoy and take advantage of social situations,
which they might otherwise avoid."

My roomie bought a new pair of running shoes to motivate her self to go running again.
In my previous post, I wanted to get myself the Nike + iPod Sports Kit.
The box contains iPod adapter and the Nike pedometer that will be inserted at the sole of the Nike+ left shoe.
If you have an iPod Nano, you only need to plug in the adapter and you don't have to buy yourself a special Nike+ shoes.
You can sync your pedometer, from your shoes, to your iPod Touch or iPhone.
After running, walking or working out, you can send the data to Nikeplus.Com to analyze and record your workout session.
I don't have an iPod Nano, yet, but I will be using the pedometer and iPhone together. Nike Plus iPhone App lets you choose a Basic, Time, Calorie or Distance base workout.
I did not read any sort of reviews before buying the Nike + iPod Sports Kit. It is only meant to motivate me to start moving again. But, now that I am reading about Nike+ and how it works, reviews say that the pedometer battery will eventually run out.
I bought the Nike + iPod Sports Kit for $55 at the Nike Store at Wheelock Place, Orchard. I went to the EpiCenter store before but was told they don't sell it anymore and only Nike does.
It's cool when you have new sports wear or a new toy to bring along while exercising.
So, here's to losing those 5 kilos gained from 2011!

No POM POM it is the extra BS after every tackle that most are talking about. Playing with a nasty attitude is 1 thing taking cheapshots afterward is totally differrent! BUT I forgot b/c he played for Au he can do NO WRONG!
Congratulations may you and your team have enough success to be able to play 1 of the upper echelon teams from the SEC.
Latest has Virginia Tech and NC State to SEC with North carolina, Duke, Wake Forrest, Virginia to Big East (basketball conference) and Miami, Clemson, FSU and Ga Tech to the Big 12.
As an ex coach I can NOT disagree more vehomently! The system is broke and spending BILLIONS on individuals who are not in a classroom and have never taught a child. Then they spend BILLIONS on buildings that never see a student so they can ALL have offices to tell us how to run the schools and that we must replace school buses that are 4 years old so we NEVER do any maintenance BECAUSE the AEA has told them this is the model that works best! It works best for the AEA! And employing teachers who are incapable of teaching the subject matter they are responsible for.
Tigermeat are you saying it is WRONG to have money? Isnt it more wrong for you or anyone else to tell me how to spend what I have- unless of course I am living on taxpayers funds and spending the majority of what I recieve for me and my children on drugs, alchohol or ciggarettes! Then as a taxpayer( which I hope you are) you should have the right to expect the monies that you provide to be spent on the food, clothing or shelter it was provided for. As for education the system is broke and it does NOT matter what amount of money you throw at it, it will continue to fail as long as it is run by a union who is most interested in jobs for its people not education of children.!
Seems as if your worried your team wont attract enough players to fill your scholarship limits AGAIN! Shame when you cant find someone willing to take a FREE RIDE. Dont worry you might live long enough to see your next NC in another 50 years!
I ususally wouldnt respond to stupidity but I had to this time. PLEASE explain to the uneducated masses why danica isnt good for NASCAR?
Yes and NO. I think if he went back there he would win several Big 10 championships but probably only 1 if any BCSNCs because of recruiting. UA has a recruiting advangtage over every Big 10 school and most every school out there. I believe if he went to USC they would win multiple BCSNCs, the same with ND, TX, FSU or Miami. Hell if he went to AU he would win 1 - THIS IS THE SEC BABY!
I could only agree with you if all conferences champions had to play a conference championship. I dont want to see a Texas or Ok walk in without winning their championship- OH WAIT that has already happened! Cry me a river!
POm POM is a closet Bama fan who has to attempt to belittle the program he has a crush on! He has a man crush on Nick and always deired to be accepted by the Bama family but he was not even good enough to be a waterboy - so he joined the fambly at awwbern.
Pom POm u have always been an aubie!
What he conviently FORGETS TO MENTION is that his side of the debate REFUSES to engaged in designing any REAL laws regarding immigration and border enforcement. They think that as long as OBOO BOO runs the govt they will have free run and he wants continue their refusal to HELP craft a law that is meaningful because then they wouldnt have any TALKING POINTS TO CAMPAIGN ON!
POM what is your take on NASCAR?
Hey FARTE- where are all those boy wonders that cheese dip recruited? According to you the last 4 classses have been in the top 5 nationally with rampant oversignings to the tune of 30 players per year! Where are those ALL AMERICANS? I admit Scam was a great get for chiz but apparrently the other players were ALL just bust OR they were NOT coached up to SEC and NFL level of players! And you have underclassmen going to the NFL from Bama this year, last year and the year before. And how many Jrs and Srs where on the field at au last year? According to your roster there were 57. And I will definetlytake 2 of the last 3 Iron Bowls as well as 2 of the last 3 BCSNCs over 1 historic win for the FIRST EVER BCSNC for au! And the ONLY 1 you will EVER see in your lifetime!
Funny thing is he will probably be like SCAM and win rookie of the year on a losing team! MAYBE he will get lucky and get traded to NY or Washington
He is just realizing that the past 3 top 5 recruiting classes for au were an aboration! Where are all the 1st rounders from those classes? All-Americans? I admit cam was the get of the century for au but other than that the others just havent been coached up enough to compete in the SEC or NFL!
Hey JODY- au has had 3 top 5 classes in the last 3 years and last year aubies claimed they were #1 so where are all the 1st round draft choices from those classes? Where are the All- Americans?
Why with the rampant oversigning ( each class before this years avgd 28 players) hasnt Chiz produced something? I admit Cam was a great get but other than that they seem to be near misses!
I HATE to see you embarrass yourself BUT- the NCAA documents revealed that MSU and UF were the teams that reported Scam and NOT UA! But hey if your LIE helps you sleep at night with the nightmare of UA winning 2 of the last 3 from AU and 2 of the last 3 BCSNCs and currently considered the MOST LIKELY TEAM TO REPEAT IN 10 YEARS- so be it!
Because Bama was up 7-2 in the 8th inning and threw in a reliever and it was 7-7 before the end of the inning! Then the next reliever gave up 2 runs in the ninth for the loss! This is an AU beat writer who had to find something negative to say about the SC team and coach who just SWEPT au. The guy has NEVER had a complaint from a parent or player about pitch count or injuries from overwork but because Evan couldnt come up with something original to write about he second guessed the coach who is the back to back defending NATIONAL CHAMPIONS with a top 5 ranked team this year. Evan might of played batboy for his dixie youth team and probably wishes he could coach T-ball as well as the SC coach!
Why a shame? He has a BCSNC ring what do your freshmen have? Oh yea that is right new OC, new DC and turmoil out the AZZ over all the players smoking spice and drinking but somehow passing drug test and staying on the field! Brent will find a place where he contributes to ANOTHER BCSNC and you will get to spin wildly out of control with envy. IF you want to feel pity for someone try the au player just convicted facing 25 years to life!

A lot of conservatives seem to be taking the reflexive attitude that if President Obama is warning that sequestration will be disastrous, then it must a good thing. Witness this National Review symposium, wherein various contributors bemoan "the hysteria of President Obama, liberals in Congress, and the media over very small cuts in federal spending" and argue "let's do it" because "sequestration is the only chance we have had, and probably ever will have, to cut any federal programs under President Obama."
Time for a reality check. It's not just President Obama who is warning of the dire consequences of sequestration. So are our foremost admirals and generals, men and women who have devoted their entire lives to the nation's defense and can hardly be accused of being liberal Democrats–most are in fact conservative Republicans. The Joint Chiefs of Staff continue to testify to Congress about the terrible impact of sequestration and as more and more details emerge, their case becomes even stronger.
To get the details you have to skip the MSM, which tend to report only sweeping rhetoric, and instead read the defense-industry press, which has chapter and verse. See, for example, this report in AOL Defense, which notes "the Army already knows it will cancel all full-brigade wargames except for a single brigade that will deploy to Afghanistan, a mission the service insists it cannot shortchange." It further notes "the service has already decided to defer essentially all maintenance at its bases – which will certainly cost more in the long run and may make life distinctly uncomfortable in the meantime."
And beyond the issue of being able to train and maintain our soldiers, there is also the issue of how many soldiers we will have. The House Armed Services Committee predicts that if sequestration goes through the Marine Corps' active-duty strength will fall from 200,000 personnel to 145,000 and the Army will fall from 569,000 to 425,000. That amounts to the loss of a quarter of all our ground forces. It would cut the Marine Corps down to its smallest size since 1950, before the start of the Korean War, and the U.S. Army down to its smallest size since 1940, before the American entry into World War II. Those conflicts should remind us of the catastrophic consequences of military unpreparedness of the kind we are now facing.
Unfortunately, neither President Obama nor congressional Republicans are treating this crisis with the gravity it deserves. The president has made clear he will hold the military hostage to his desire for more tax hikes–he has refused to endorse Republican plans that would achieve the same amount of budgetary savings without eviscerating military preparedness. Republicans, in turn, seem to be so enamored of budget cuts and so opposed to any tax hikes–even the closing of loopholes rather than raising marginal rates–that most of them are willing to see defense sacrificed instead.
This is a tragedy: We are in danger of repeating the same mistake we made after World War II, after Vietnam and after the Gulf War–all times when we cut defense excessively and subsequently paid a stiff price. It is particularly bizarre that we are in effect spending a "peace dividend" when there is in fact no peace—U.S. troops are still fighting in Afghanistan and in the War on Terror, and they are on hair-trigger alert to fight Iran if necessary. Yet at the same time we are exempting from cuts the actual causes of our fiscal crisis–runaway entitlement spending, in particular spending on Medicare and Medicaid.
I am not one of those who has argued that partisan gridlock in Washington endangers our standing as a superpower. I have always retained a large measure of optimism about the ability of our political system to work things out and reach solutions even to the most difficult problems. But now I am starting to think that perhaps the doomsayers have a point. This is as self-inflicted a wound as it possible to imagine.

Senator Mike Gianaris joins us to talk about the session, its failures and victories. One failure for good government? A campaign finance provision in the gambling bill was deleted. It would have limited gambling interests from donating heavily to the very politicians who will determine the locations of casino gambling venues in the state.
Another failure took place last week in Washington when the House couldn't pass a flawed farm bill… or even come up with a bill not punitive to the nation's working poor. The bill that was voted on would have ended food stamp assistance for 2 million people. We speak to two guests about the bill, first, NY Farm Bureau President Dean Norton, and then we follow up with the Executive Director of the Hunger Action Network, Mark Dunlea.
SUNY Adjunct Professor of Political Science Bruce Gyory of Corning Place shares his analysis of the legislation session.

Maybe there will be some drivers that otherwise would have done something similar in the future will be educated correctly on how to operate their vehicle. Good advice, and it's nice to see that the shop owner at least has a sense of humor. I know that's not the sign I would be hanging if I were them.

After Sami Salo successfully defended his hardest shot title at Canucks Superskills on Sunday, there was some confusion over just what he said to Dan Murphy in the ensuing interview. "Alex Edler has won this event the last couple of times," Murphy asked, "Did you feel it was time to take it back?"
"I think he gave it back," Salo said, smiling. "My career is ending, so he wanted to make me feel good."
Salo's words raised a number of eyebrows. Did he just announce his retirement?
Yes and no. No, he didn't retire then and there, and Salo reiterated and softened the quote after the event, telling the media, "Alex knows I'm close to the end of my career so I think he gave it to me." In short, this wasn't an official announcement of any sort, especially since Salo's healthy and will be in the lineup for Tuesday night's tilt with the Edmonton Oilers.
However, it was a hint that this will more than likely be Salo's last year in the NHL, something that can hardly be a secret inside the room. When it comes to the 2011-12 season, make no mistake: this one's for Sami.Continue Reading —›

Willamette Rowing Set to Kick Off Spring Season
SALEM, ORE. -- The Willamette University men's and women's rowing teams will begin the 2013 spring season when they travel north to Tacoma, Wash., this Saturday, March 16 and participate in the Governor's Cup Regatta hosted by the University of Puget Sound.
Willamette, UPS, and Lewis & Clark College will be the three teams competing in the regatta. After this weekend, there are five more events for both teams on th regular season schedule, and all of the meets will take place in Oregon, Washington, and California.
Head Coach Ryan Miller is entering his second season at the helm of the Bearcat rowing program. He joined the coaching staff as an assistant coach in the spring of 2011 and served as interim head coach during the 2011-12 season, before being named head coach this season.
Although Willamette is usually a member of the NCAA Division III Northwest Conference, the Bearcat rowing teams compete in the Northwest Collegiate Rowing Conference. The NCRC is made up of four Division III colleges and universities, plus three Division II universities, meaning the Bearcats will be facing tough competition all season long. Two of the women's Division II teams, Western Washington University and Humboldt State University, have combined to win the last eight national championships.
Miller doesn't see the level of competition as a problem, but rather an opportunity. "The competitiveness of our conference lends itself to creating fast crews," Miller said. "It is not unusual at the regional level for both programs to compete against Division I programs and succeed."
The men's team is returning three rowers from last year: Forrest Betton (So., Beaverton, OR/School of Science and Technology), Karsten Kern (So., Edmonds, WA/Woodway HS), and Connor Winnie (So., Clackamas, OR/Clackmas HS). Another returner is Maxwell Mensinger (Jr., Pleasanton, CA/Foothill HS), who rowed for the Bearcats during the 2010-11 season but studied abroad during the spring of 2012.
The women's team is currently comprised of 16 rowers, eight of whom are returning this from last year. Kate Pfeiffer (Sr., Redding, CA/University Preparatory School) is in her fourth year of rowing and the only senior on the team. The Bearcats, who have seven sophomores on the women's roster who competed last year, will look to build on that experience.
The Governor's Cup Regatta is set to begin races at 8 a.m. (PDT). The Bearcats will field teams in five different races on Saturday.

What State you live in determines the rules for dividing assets
Community Property states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin), each spouse is entitled to one-half of all the property acquired during the marriage.
Equitable Distribution states – Various factors are taken into account, including the financial situation of each spouse when dividing assets in these states. Courts divide the marital assets in a fair and equitable manner, although the division is not likely to be equal.
Separate Property, (also known as non-marital property) is not included in property division in community property states. Separate Property includes property or businesses owned prior to marriage or living together, gifts and inheritances from family that have not been commingled with community assets (such as in a joint bank account), or pension proceeds of either spouse that vested prior to marriage.
When the parties cannot agree on dividing assets, courts will commonly take into account the length of your marriage, the work history and job prospects of each, the abilities of the spouses to be self-supporting, the physical and mental health of each, the expense of any children, and the source of particular assets. The court will then fashion a divorce settlement that approximates a fair division.
Homes, Rental Property, Brokerage Accounts, Bank accounts – Checking, Savings, Christmas Club, CDs, etc., Retirement and Pension Plans, Closely-held Businesses, Stock Options, Country Club memberships; Annuities; Life Insurance, Deferred Compensation, Restricted Stock, Tax Refunds, Professional Practices, Licenses and Collections.
- any property that was owned by either party prior to the marriage
- an inheritance received by either party before or during the marriage*
- gifts received by either party and given by a third party (your Father gave you his restored antique car)
- awards received from a lawsuit for personal injury
* Caution should be exercised regarding property that you may have co-mingled with your spouse. Inheriting money and depositing it into a joint account with your spouse or property that you have re-titled with your spouse's name on it could cause the property to lose its separate property status. In many States any increase in the value of your separate property is considered marital property and subject to be divided.
- The length of the marriage
- The income or property brought into the marriage by each spouse
- The standard of living established during the marriage
- The age and physical/emotional health of each spouse
- The income and earning potential of each spouse
- The financial situation of each spouse when the divorce is finalized
- The contribution of a spouse to the education, training or earning power of the other
- The needs of the custodial parent to maintain the lifestyle for the children
Debts get divided as well, although the treatment of marital debt is handled differently between Equitable Distribution and Community Property.
Property Valuation
In the event you and your spouse will be unable to agree on the value of one or more assets, a third-party appraisal will be necessary. Any prior valuations or appraisals will be helpful to the process, so if you have those documents you should produce them. In divorce settlements, it is typical that the partner with more resources wants less disclosure and the other partner wants more disclosure.
Assets that occasionally get overlooked can include: stocks and bonds, IRAs, Pension and retirement accounts (past and present), certificates of deposit, money market accounts, items from your safety deposit box, insurance policies, business partnerships, company-sponsored stock options and the like.
As emotions are likely to be running high through this phase, you should be mindful not to get too focused on or attached to any one particular asset as one you absolutely have to have, or that you deserve; as fighting your spouse over the artwork over the sofa can end up costing more in legal fees than its worth. You will have to let go of certain property to achieve a good divorce settlement.
Sometime before the property settlement agreement is finalized, you'll want to determine what tax implications will arise from selling or dividing your marital assets. In some cases capital gains taxes can be such that the parties look for a different settlement solution. A CPA or tax attorney can be very cost-effective here.
If you are involved with large pensions or retirement accounts in the marriage, you will require an analysis in order for it to be valued correctly for distribution to each party. We strongly suggest you get your own evaluation. Your lawyer (or your spouse's lawyer) will get you an evaluation by contracting with a third-party provider, likely at significant cost. We suggest you have your own done for a fraction of the cost, just so you know if someone else's evaluation is slanted away from you, if you know what we mean. For $299 you can have an accurate analysis to use as a base. This stuff is complicated, so you need to be on your game. Contact our partners at the QDRO Desk. It will be the best three hundred bucks you ever spent.
Take a sheet of paper, and turn it sideways. Make three columns – one for assets you consider jointly owned and the other two columns to list possessions you consider owned by each spouse. On the back of your asset sheet, list stuff that has little value other than sentimental. Quickly agree on who will take what low-value stuff. Put a name or initial by each item. If there is a dispute about an item on the back side of the paper, it belongs on the front side.
Put dollar values on all items. For home, property or business assets, agree to have a professional provide estimates. For household furnishings, work from purchase prices and age. For antiques, get them appraised. Pensions and investments may require an actuary and accountant respectively. Subtract unpaid mortgages from property value to arrive at true net values.
In most states, and in most cases, if you and your spouse can agree on how to go about the division of property in your divorce, whether it follows your state's guidelines or not, the court will approve your divorce settlement agreement. It is important to understand that the parties can structure their divorce and divide their assets in most any fashion that an agreement will allow. Issues that remain unresolved will be decided either by mediation or by the court.
If and when the parties agree, the attorneys will draft a divorce settlement agreement that will include the various stipulations and agreements. This document should specifically detail who gets what property. As in any legal document, you will want to review the document to make certain it is in order. Once it is signed and a permanent part of the final divorce decree, it is set in stone, and you will need a chisel to change it later.
The following states take marital misconduct, especially economic fault, into consideration when dividing marital or community property or in reimbursing the marital or community estate: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.¹
Just as soon as the divorce settlement is approved or the court finalizes the divorce, you will want to complete the details of your property transfer. We suggest you demand that any transfer papers be signed as a part of the agreement before it gets finalized by the court. Sometimes a bitter newly-divorced spouse can drag the transfer out to spite the other. Have your ex-spouse sign any deeds, stock transfers or bank account forms that will be necessary to transfer marital property into your name; determine what payments need to be made to fulfill your end of the property settlement agreement; begin the process of refinancing property if that is a part of your settlement agreement; and release your name on the title to any property your ex-spouse is receiving. Your first inclination after its over is to distance yourself emotionally from the experience. Do not. Cross the T's, dot the I's, and don't leave any loose ends. THEN you can relax. Unless yours is a Tiger Woods-sized divorce settlement, it should not take very long to complete. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to complete your divorce settlement and move on.

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Reunite at a Karaoke Bar! (PHOTO)
The wait is finally over: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are back on the same continent!
The adorable Twilight twosome had been apart for two months while Rob filmed The Rover in Australia, but he and Kristen wasted no time in reconnecting, according to Pop Sugar.
Rob and Kristen reunited with a low-key night at a karaoke bar on March 19, according to a fan who spotted the two.
"Mellow night, they were just there hanging out with a few friends," the fan wrote about Rob and Kristen on Twitter.
"He seemed to be a little shy," the onlooker continued about Rob.
The fan also included a pic of the two, which you can see at left.
As you can tell, Rob is now sporting a buzz cut from filming the movie. Yes, we miss his gorgeous locks, but he looks good with the short 'do, too.
But long hair or not, we're just glad Rob is back in L.A. and is back by Kristen's side. Happy times!

More than 142 new students registered at Knightsville Elementary Monday, the first day of school, which has sent the Dorchester District Two scurrying to hire more teachers to accommodate the unexpected influx of new students. The new students bring the school's total to 1,300 students.
As of Monday, early afternoon, the district did not have firm figures and says it won't have them for a few days. However, said Pat Raynor, DD2 PIO, there are at least 400 more new students who registered Monday than there were on the first day of school last year.
More than 23,500 Dorchester District Two students began school at the district's 22 schools.
"Opening day went smoothly at all school sites with heavy traffic presenting the only challenge," said Raynor. "As is a tradition throughout the district, many parents took their children to class on this first day of the school year which impacted traffic and parking around schools. School buses delivered children a little behind schedule at several schools but this is typical during the first few days of school."
District staff members were at all school sites to assist schools on the first day and to identify any problem areas in school operations, said Raynor.
"I would like to thank our teachers, administrators, and particularly our parents," said Superintendent Joe Pye, "for planning ahead and working cooperatively to make this one of the best school openings we have ever experienced."

Bike thief was discovered with drugs after raid
Posted: November 10, 2012|
A 42-YEAR-OLD man who helped steal a teenager's new motorcycle has been jailed.
David Bramhall and his associates travelled in a rented van to the Greyhound pub in Yarlet, near Stone, and stole the 125cc machine from the car park while its owner was working.
Bramhall was arrested the next day and was found in possession of £40 worth of a class B drug known as 'monkey dust'.
The defendant, of Bouverie Parade, Sneyd Green, pleaded guilty to theft of a motorcycle and possession of a class B drug.
The court heard the offences happened while he was subject to a suspended sentence for three offences of benefit fraud.
Kevin Mortlock, mitigating, said: "He was asked to go in the pub car park and the motorcycle was put in the back. He accepts he was part of the theft of the motorcycle."
Judge Paul Glenn jailed Bramhall for six months and activated four weeks of the suspended sentence to run consecutively. He also banned him from driving for 12 months following the July 8 incident.
The judge said: "If you take vehicles to commit offences, that is a price you must pay."

Video Marketing Reno Nevada
Video marketing is a great way for businesses in Reno, Nevada to get noticed on Google. Most businesses don't realize how EASY it is to get to page one for their particular business category and key words. In fact, Google LOVES showing videos on page one for Reno businesses and business professionals if a video exists with the proper keywords in the title.
Many businesses make the mistake of using their company name in the title of their YouTube video, but that won't help them get ranked for anything except direct searches for their company name. If, for example, a Dentist or Builder wants to have their video rank on page one, they should use phrases like "Dentist Reno" and "Builder Reno" in the first part of their video title.
At Green Gorilla Video we do expert video production for businesses, creating 1-2 minute intro videos for our clients. Then we get the video ranked for many search phrases with our highly-effective YouTube Marketing strategy. We work for businesses of all types.

Video Marketing for Reno Businesses works particularly well for industries where the competition does little online marketing. Whereas as a realtor or insurance agent might do a lot of online marketing, auto mechanics and restoration companies in general do not. These types if businesses have a very easy time of getting videos onto page one of local Google searches.
We make sure the video is optimized to include links to your website and contact information throughout the video, with a strong call to action. For businesses and business professionals in Reno that want to dominate the local market we can help them get it done!

That's a picture of Jim Wendler. Guys that look like that probably know what they're talking about when it comes to getting strong. But my mom always told me that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. So how strong is Wendler? As a former competitive powerlifter he deadlifted 700 lbs., bench pressed 675 lbs., and squatted 1,000 lbs. Yes, 1,000. He works at Elite Fitness Training Systems and wrote the book 5/3/1: The Simplest and Most Effective Training System To Increase Raw Strength. I've had some good success with the program and thought that I would share a review of the program with you all. I won't go into all the details about the program because I don't want to keep people from buying the book. Would you want that guy mad at you?
The program is based around four main compound lifts: the military press, the deadlift, the bench press, and the squat. The beauty of the program is the ease with which you can customize the training to your schedule. Most people stick with one main lift a day and add some assistance work. Others just do the main lift. Others that can only work out twice a week may want to do two main movements in one training session. There are many options to play with. I personally did one main lift per training session and trained four times a week.
One of my favorite things about the 5/3/1 program is that you know exactly what you need to do before you step foot in the gym (or the garage, in my case). The program is based on four week cycles. The first week you do three working sets of 5 reps with increasing percentages of your 1 rep max. The second rep you do three working sets of 3 reps with increasing percentages of your 1 rep max. The third week you do one working set with 5 reps, one working set with 3 reps, and a max effort 1 rep set. The fourth week is a deload week in which you back off and recuperate.
The weights you use are all based on percentages of your one rep max so you know exactly what weight you need to use and exactly how many reps you should get on every set. You always get the chance to set new personal bests on the last set of every training session. If the program calls for 5 reps and you're feeling strong, go ahead and get 6 or 7. As long as you get the minimum, you are fine.
I mentioned the assistance work earlier. There are several options Wendler lays out in his book. One option is to do only the main lift. If you're pressed for time this may be an option that would work for you. Another option is to do the main lift at a reduced percentage of your 1RM for five sets of 10 reps. Another option is to follow the main lift with bodyweight work such as dips and chinups. I get bored and like to change exercises more frequently, so I used a variety of assistance exercises and turned the program into an upper/lower split. For example, on days I did the overhead press and bench press, I would do upper body assistance exercises such as rows, pullups, dips, pushups, presses, lat raises, shrugs, etc. On days I did the deadlift and squat, I would do lower body assistance exercises such as glute-ham raises, stiff leg deadlifts, cable pullthroughs, leg presses, lunges, etc. The options are really only limited by your imagination.
As for my own progress with the program, I made some impressive strides on my main lifts. I added 20 lbs to my military press, 85 lbs. to my deadlift, 25 lbs. to my bench press, and 70 lbs. to my squat in about three months. Some people prefer using Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe for absolute beginners because that program calls for adding weight to the bar each training session. Both programs are good options, but I like the variety you get with the assistance work of the 5/3/1 program. As long as you are adding weight to your main lifts and making progress then you are doing something right.

Deep South File :: Ramah Darom Commended for Swine Flu ResponsePosted by SJLMAG at Thursday, June 18, 2009 6.18.2009
Ramah Darom, the Conservative movement's summer camp in north Georgia, is being commended for how it has handled a flu outbreak over the last week.
About 60 campers and staffers have come down with flu symptoms. Three samples selected and tested by the Georgia Public Health Lab returned positive for H1N1 influenza, commonly known as the Swine Flu.
According to an update from the camp, the H1N1 flu virus has been very similar to seasonal flu with mild to moderate symptoms and most infected persons have been recovering within 48 hours.
David Westfall, District Health Director of District 2 of Georgia, said: "I have been very impressed with the preparedness of Ramah Darom and the professionalism with which they have handled this outbreak. They are to be commended for their actions."
About half of the affected campers and staff are being treated in the infirmary. The other half are "no longer symptomatic" but the flu protocol is that they have to be separated from the rest of the camp for seven days. The affected campers are participating in "a full, daily program of typical camp activities" in a separate area of the camp.
One camper was briefly hospitalized and subsequently discharged.
Parents of all campers admitted to the infirmary with flu symptoms are notified immediately.
Ramah Darom CEO Fred Levick said, "The safety and health of our community is our top priority. We're working closely with health authorities to monitor and care for those children and staff with symptoms and protect our general community, following all measures to limit the spread of the virus. We are fortunate that we have a facility that allows us to appropriately care for affected individuals, and safely and comfortably separate them to minimize the spread of illness.
"We were aware of this possibility, and it does not change anything concerning our care for the children, our protocols, the severity of the illness, or the separation period of seven days, which was instated at the immediate recognition of flu-like symptoms and remains appropriate for this flu strain. We have treated anyone presenting with symptoms as if they have tested positive for seasonal, Type A Influenza, and cared for them in a separate environment. This is the same course of treatment and management for H1N1. Our staff is well trained and specifically discussed health procedures even before our campers arrived, especially with so much attention focused on this flu strain over the past few months," Levick said.
The camp has a state-of-the-art, fully equipped and supplied infirmary onsite, with a residential medical staff including at least two physicians and three nurses at all times. Additional medical support has been brought in to assist.
Ramah Darom has received guidelines from the CDC and is closely following national Ramah protocols in managing the situation and administering Tamiflu when appropriate within those guidelines. The camp medical team continues to collaborate with local hospitals and health care providers, District 2 Public Health, and the Georgia Division of Public Health, as well as experts across the country.
"We are always prepared for these types of situations, so we were able to react quickly following protocols we established months ago to insure camper safety. We are in ongoing, collaborative communication with our local hospital and health department, as well as state representatives. We are incredibly grateful for their support and expert guidance they are providing us. We are fortunate that our facilities allow us to safely treat and separate affected campers, while still engaging 400 campers and 200 staff members in our typical, daily camp activities," Levick said.
In a letter to parents and other Ramah Darom families yesterday, Camp Director Geoffrey Menkowitz said "there are no changes to announce for second session campers. We expect to be able to fully operate a safe and healthy camp and provide an outstanding summer experience."
Ramah Darom has about 700 campers and staff.
Deep South File :: New Orleans Featured at Orthodox FairPosted by SJLMAG at Thursday, May 28, 2009 5.28.2009
New Orleans will be one of the communities featured in the Orthodox Union's upcoming "Emerging Communities: Job and Home Relocation Fair," to be held June 14 in New York.
The Fair comes on the heels of last year's successful "Emerging Communities Fair," in which residents from the New York metropolitan area were encouraged to consider relocating. More than 800 people attended to contemplate a move, with the biggest selling point being the more affordable cost of living an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle in the highlighted communities.
Responding to the vastly changed economic conditions since April 2008 when the first Fair was held, this year's version will highlight opportunities to find gainful employment as well as affordable housing for those making the move.
New Orleans was selected to join the Fair because of its presence of Jewish life and resources, such as synagogues, learning opportunities, kosher establishments and other mainstays of a close-knit and warm Jewish community; relatively low cost of living; charm; and multiple employment opportunities.
Rabbi Uri Topolosky, of OU member synagogue Congregation Beth Israel, declared, "We applaud the Orthodox Union for recognizing the value of smaller communities and how they uniquely contribute to the overall fabric of Jewish life in America. Our community in New Orleans, for example, boasts a rich history of Jewish immigrant life and a proud, ongoing story of Jewish philanthropic activity related to the city's cultural and economic development. New Orleans has also been a celebrated hub for travelers, both personal and professional, and our Jewish community continues to serve a vital role in enhancing and enabling their stay.
"Congregation Beth Israel is honored to participate once again in this year's fair for emerging communities as a means of sharing the strength of our Jewish community with young families looking to be a part of an affordable community where they can make a difference, and also to share with others the inspiring story of our revitalizing in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. In particular, our synagogue has rebounded from total devastation, re-energized our community, attracted new faces, and is about to break ground on a new building."
He added that New Orleans has a kosher deli and an upscale Moroccan restaurant, a kosher market, a mikvah, JCC, Day School, and an eruv (boundary). New Orleans' renowned Cafe Du Monde is also now certified kosher.
Beth Israel launched the "Minyan Project" — a commitment to relocate 10 young families to the community by offering financial incentives, job assistance, and Southern hospitality.
Topolosky said "This past year, two new families moved here to join this exciting community — perhaps the only place in the country where you can help shape the redevelopment of an entire city, redefine the image of a whole Jewish community, and even help rebuild a synagogue community and its spiritual home. This is a community where you can make a difference."
At the fair, Topolosky will also present the OU with a gift in thanks for the help the organization provided New Orleans with in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. At its Annual Dinner in April 2008, the OU presented Rabbi Topolosky with a check for $235,000 toward Beth Israel's building campaign. Afterwards, Rabbi Topolosky declared, "The check received at the dinner was truly a major boon for us in our efforts to build a new home for our congregation."
Other communities at the fair include Houston, Atlanta and Memphis.
The big difference from last year is the emphasis on jobs, in addition to the lower cost of living. Communities are not expected to guarantee jobs, but have communal representatives to help job seekers find positions.
Deep South File :: National Reform leaders to speak in New OrleansPosted by SJLMAG at Wednesday, May 27, 2009 5.27.2009
New Orleans will welcome two major events with Union of Reform Judaism leadership this month.
On June 12, the URJ will hold its board meeting in New Orleans, and that night URJ President Rabbi Eric Yoffie will speak at the community's joint summer Shabbat service. The program during the 6:15 p.m. service will be a panel on "How We Did It: Managing as Congregations Through Difficult and Trying Times."
Immediately after Hurricane Katrina, the Reform movement established a Save Our Synagogues fund that kept the local Reform congregations open during the recovery.
From June 25 to 28, the Men of Reform Judaism will hold its 42nd biennial convention in New Orleans. This is the second time the organization has met in New Orleans in a show of post-hurricane support.
Rabbi David Saperstein, director of the Religious Action Center, will be the keynote speaker. The convention includes hands-on Katrina relief projects with the Kingsley House.
On June 26, John Shalett of New Orleans will be installed as the North American president of Men of Reform Judaism. He will become the third member of Temple Sinai to hold that position, following Roger Jacobs and Irving Shnaider. Temple Sinai Rabbi Edward Cohn and Gates of Prayer Rabbi Robert Loewy will officiate at the installation.
The June 26 service will be at 7:15 p.m.
A Louisiana State University graduate, Shalett has spent his entire career as a social worker while serving in various administrative, executive and teaching positions. While living in Southern California he served as President of Temple Beth Israel, Pomona, Calif., and as a board member of the Eastern Region of the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles. He and his wife, EllenRae, were honored by their congregation by being bestowed the Crown of the Good Name Award in 1991. Upon leaving California, the Temple Beth Israel Board of Trustees bestowed honorary life membership to John and EllenRae.
After returning to New Orleans in 1990, he served as President of the Gates of Prayer Brotherhood and also as a board member of Jewish Family Service of New Orleans. He was first elected to the board of the then National Federation of Temple Brotherhoods in 1997.
In addition to the MRJ position, he will also serve as President of the Jewish Chautauqua Society. He serves on the Union for Reform Judaism's Department of Jewish Family Concerns Executive Committee and will join the Board of the Union for Reform Judaism in June 2009.
Deep South File :: Rosh Ha'ayin-Birmingham Partnership Gains International RecognitionPosted by SJLMAG at Tuesday, May 26, 2009 5.26.2009
The partnership between Birmingham and Rosh Ha'ayin will be recognized this summer by Sister Cities International at its annual convention in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Birmingham and Rosh Ha'ayin became official sister cities in 2005, though the Birmingham Jewish community has a relationship with Rosh Ha'ayin going back to 1981.
Rosh Ha'ayin is also paired with the New Orleans Jewish community through Partnership 2000 of the Jewish Agency, and many programs involve all three communities.
The award will be for innovation in youth and education programming for American cities with populations between 100,000 and 500,000.
Programs between Rosh Ha'ayin and Birmingham the past few years include an "E-Pals" program, which connects students in the Birmingham city and Hoover school systems via email with peers in Rosh Ha'ayin, and an educators' exchange, through which Birmingham area teachers visited Rosh Ha'ayin and then hosted teachers from Rosh Ha'ayin at their schools.
In 2008, the Meitav Vocal Ensemble from Rosh Ha'ayin performed throughout Birmingham and New Orleans. In Birmingham, there were joint concerts with the University of Alabama at Birmingham Gospel Choir and the Huffman High School choir.
Another 2008 project was involving Rosh Ha'ayin in Birmingham's "Read It Forward" program. The Jefferson County Library Cooperative sought to have as many local citizens as possible read "To Kill A Mockingbird." Residents of Rosh Ha'ayin read Hebrew translations, furnished by the Birmingham Jewish Foundation, and held programs about the book.
Another project has been E-Pals, connecting students in Birmingham city and Hoover school systems via email with peers in Rosh Ha'ayin, and an educators' exchange, through which Birmingham area teachers visited Rosh Ha'ayin and then hosted teachers from Rosh Ha'ayin at their schools.
Additional programming took place last year as the Birmingham International Center honored Israel and Jordan.
"We are so proud of this international honor," said Joyce Spielberger, assistant executive director of the Birmingham Jewish Federation, who is the Federation's staff coordinator for the partnership. "I think it says a lot about our Jewish community, our broader community and the people of Rosh Ha'ayin.
"Many people have played a role in the development of this partnership," Joyce added. "This award is indicative of the great work and outreach done by volunteers from both the Jewish community and broader Birmingham community."
The Birmingham Sister City Commission, which oversees Birmingham's 11 Sister City partnerships, is dedicated to global cooperation, cultural understanding and economic development between the people of Birmingham and cities around the world. The Federation's Rosh Ha'ayin committee works closely with the Sister City Commission to advance the Birmingham-Rosh Ha'ayin partnership.
Birmingham's relationship with Rosh Ha'Ayin began when Birmingham's Max and Tillie Kimerling provided the funding to build a community center in Rosh Ha'ayin, at the time a development town of 14,000, mainly Yemenite Jews who fled their villages after Israel was established.
The Birmingham Jewish community's official ties to Rosh Ha'Ayin began in 1981 with Project Renewal, with the pairing coming from the existing relationship with the Kimerling family.
Deep South File :: HUC to Honor Tulane PresidentPosted by SJLMAG at Monday, May 25, 2009 5.25.2009
Dr. Scott Cowen, president of Tulane University, will be presented with the Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, at the graduation ceremonies for Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati on June 7.
Cowen will deliver the graduation address to the Class of 2009, at the Isaac M. Wise Temple.
Rabbi David Ellenson, president of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, will make the presentation. Ellenson said Cowen "is an eloquent spokesman who has provided dynamic leadership to numerous corporations, civic and national counsels, and boards; he is a prolific author who represents the epitome of the academic ideal; and, with vision and energy, Dr. Cowen rescued Tulane University from the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina."
Cowen is Tulane University's 14th president. He also holds joint appointments as the Seymour S. Goodman Memorial Professor of Business in Tulane's A.B. Freeman School of Business and Professor of Economics in the School of Liberal Arts.
Cowen came to Tulane in 1998 from Case Western Reserve University where he was a member of the faculty for 23 years. He is the author of four books and over 100 academic and professional articles, essays, and reviews, and is the recipient of several national awards and honors.
In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina flooded half of Tulane's Uptown campus and all of its downtown Health Sciences Center, and dispersed its faculty and staff around the country for an entire semester. Under Cowen's leadership the campus was repaired and 87 percent of its students returned for classes in January 2006.
On Dec. 8, 2005 the Board of Tulane approved Cowen's Renewal Plan, a sweeping effort that strengthens and focuses the university's academic mission while strategically addressing its current and future operations in the post-Katrina era. In response to Katrina, New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin appointed Cowen to the city's Bring New Orleans Back Commission and charged him with leading a committee to reform and rebuild the city's failing public school system.
Having rescued his campus from disaster, Cowen visits Cincinnati at a time when there is a cloud over HUC's future. The board of governors of HUC-JIR will meet next month to discuss various ways of dealing with the school's financial problems, including whether to keep open just one of its three campuses in Los Angeles, New York and Cincinnati. Other alternatives include merging some academic programs while keeping more than one campus open.
In a letter to members of the college community, Ellenson said HUC faced a deficit this year of $3 million and was "in the most challenging financial position it has faced in its history — even more so than during the Depression," because of declines in its endowment and in dues paid by Reform congregations across the country, among other funding problems.
