Five Minutes With William J. Stewart
By Tania Ortega-Cowan
William J. Stewart, partner at Stewart, Evans, Stewart & Emmons, PA, was recently named the 2013 recipient of the prestigious 6th Annual Pinnacle Award. The award is presented annually by the Indian River Estate Planning Council and the Planned Giving Council of Indian River to honor a professional advisor for outstanding voluntary service to local charities in promoting charitable giving.
"With any charity, you first have to have a small group of people that have a passion and an idea that works," Bill says. "They get things going, and persist with it until it gains roots. Then it starts to attract donors, and can start feeding off itself."
Bill was born in Morristown, N.J. and grew up 10-miles away in Mountain Lakes. "Back when the movie industry was in New York City, this was where the movie colony was living, and there were these old three-story stucco homes with a basement," he says. "We lived in one for a while with my grandparents."
When Bill was in the fifth-grade, they built a house on the edge of town alongside 20,000 acres of woods. "I could see the New York City skyline out of the second floor windows, but across the street, it was all woods and hills. It was a huge playground."
He graduated from a small private school in a class of just 27. "My parents kept me pretty busy between athletics and music. Always something to 'keep Billy out of trouble.'"
Bill's mother was a music teacher, and his father was a chemical engineer, although he was very musical, as well. "Every Saturday night, we would play music together. My sister played piano and string bass, and my mother could play almost anything." Bill played the saxophone and even performed as a chorus girl in The Mikado.
Bill went to William and Mary College, spent three-years in the Army in Germany, then got his law degree from University of Florida. He joined the Gould-Cooksey law firm in Vero Beach in 1970.
"When you are here in Vero Beach, it is a natural evolution to do volunteer work," he says.
The long list of his service includes the American Cancer Society, the Indian River County Library, Exchange Club, Indian River County Hospital District, Indian River Medical Center and Foundation, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, VNA and Hospice, Mardy Fish Foundation, United Way of Indian River County, Boys & Girls Clubs, St. Edward's Upper School and the Memorial Island Tennis Complex. He also gives his time at local schools, teaching young students about law.
"What I would tell people who want to volunteer is, don't choose just any cause. Find something that you really are inspired by," he says. "Then it is not work anymore."

You may have depression if you have a persistent sad or "empty" mood, or if you find it difficult to concentrate or make decisions.
Mood disorders refer to a category of mental health problems that include all types of depression and bipolar disorder. Mood disorders are sometimes called affective disorders.
People with more visceral fat or an apple-shaped body—two factors associated with the metabolic syndrome—are more likely to have depression.

LAWRENCEVILLE — Gwinnett police on Monday identified the man killed in a single-vehicle crash early Saturday as Russell Lillie, 40, of Lawrenceville.Lillie was driving an Acura 3.5RL eastbound on Old Peachtree Road in Lawrenceville about 2:20 a.m. when he failed to negotiate a curve and lost control near Friars Gate Drive, police said. Police believe Lillie was alone in the car and not wearing a seat belt. The vehicle snapped a utility pole and overturned, partially ejecting Lillie through the windshield, said Gwinnett police spokesman Officer Brian Kelly. Lillie died at the scene. Kelly said speed and alcohol appear to have been contributing factors. Investigators don't believe any other vehicles were involved or affected the crash, he said. An investigation continues. The department's accident investigation unit has found that in roughly 45 percent of motor vehicle fatalities last year the victims were not wearing seat belts, Kelly noted. 3 hurt in Buford wreck BUFORD — Police have issued citations in a two-vehicle crash Saturday night in Buford that injured three people, one critically, officials said. Police cited one driver, Simon Fine, 20, of Buford, for failure to maintain lane and driving on the wrong side of the roadway, Kelly said. An investigation by accident experts continues. Kelly said evidence suggests alcohol was somehow involved. The head-on collision happened about 11:30 p.m. at the intersection of Gravel Springs and Camp Branch roads. Fine was driving westbound on Gravel Springs Road in a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer when he crossed into eastbound lanes and struck a 2006 Toyota Scion driven by Paul Chappell, 44, of Dacula, police said. Fine and a passenger inside the Scion were transported to Gwinnett Medical Center with injuries that weren't life-threatening, while Chappell was transported in serious condition, said Kelly. Chappell remained in serious condition Monday, police said.

Could anyone please PM me a link for the new Tallest Man On Earth?
I no longer believe The Morning Benders changed their name for the reasons they stated. I believe they changed it because they have decided to become a different band entirely and their new single isn't very good.

9/29 - Ratatat - Mayan (?)

i actually like the new Walkmen, but I have only heard Lisbon and the new one. The song with Robin from Fleet Foxes is nice but my favorite is The Love You Love.
Seriously though, the Walkmen album is fucking great.
Well you love Fall Out Boy so, really, who are you to say anything.

In the Know: Chipotle Mexican Grill not opening in Naples until next year
Waiting for Chipotle Mexican Grill to open in North Naples? You have about a month to go yet.
The Chipotle Mexican Grill, earlier announced as opening in Mercato before the end of the year — most likely in mid-December — now will not open until early next year, at least a month later than planned.
The North Naples restaurant, the only regional location for the popular chain, is slated to open Jan. 18 at 9100 Strada Place, according to Chris Arnold, a spokesman for Denver-based Chipotle.
A month ago, a Mercato spokesman said the restaurant was opening this year. But, then again, Mercato has had a "coming soon" banner up for Chipotle for two years.
"Dates on construction projects often shift," Arnold said.
In fact, because of the possibility for unforeseen delays, Chipotle doesn't talk about specific dates until they are locked in, he said.
To be fair, when I corresponded with Arnold in early September, he said Chipotle is prepared to open as early as December, but probably not until the new year.
"It's still far enough away that it could fall into next year," he said then.
Work on the new restaurant began shortly after mural panels were recently installed on Chipotle's corner, near Books-A-Million and the U.S. 41 entrance to the development. A permanent sign now has been installed on the building.
White flowers along I-75
Q: What are the bushy, tree-like plants that are now full of white flowers that I see alongside Interstate 75 from Naples to Port Charlotte? I did not see them much further north than that. I thought it was melaleuca, but the blooms are different. Are they highly allergenic?
— Carol, Naples
A: That's saltbush, or Baccharis halimifolia, a woody shrub that sometimes is a small, flowering tree. Saltbush is a common evergreen in South Florida that is rarely noticed until it bursts into bloom in October and November when few other shrubs or small trees are in bloom, according to the Lee County Cooperative Extension Service in Fort Myers.
In fall, the white cotton-like material of the female saltbush plants can become an allergy nuisance as the seeds are dispersed by the wind.
"The pollen is an allergen," the Extension Service reports.
The male plants are smaller, with yellow flowers, but the female plants produce the clustered, snow-white flowers that you have noticed from afar. The fruits of the plant are connected to a brush of fine white bristles known as pappus, according to the Extension Service.
Saltbush is highly drought tolerant and found throughout Florida and the Gulf Coast, even up the East Coast to Massachusetts and into northern Mexico. It is sometimes called groundsel tree, sea-myrtle, salt march-elder or waterbrush, the Extension Service reports.
Now serving
■ Blue Agave Tequila Bar & Grill opened Monday at 3785 U.S. 41 E. in Naples Towne Centre. The new Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurant serves lunch and dinner, and will feature late-night entertainment Friday and Saturday nights.
■ Parmesan Pete's Italian Kitchen recently opened in Beachwinds Center at 3690 Bonita Beach Road in Bonita Springs. Chef-owner Peter Della Rocca opened his restaurant Nov. 16, delayed because of the Nov. 11 gas explosion. With so many eat-in restaurants, Della Rocca said he wanted to offer an alternative option: take-out-only fare at affordable prices featuring a menu with authentic flavors of homemade Brooklyn-style Italian cuisine. The idea is to call ahead and pick up "a big bite of Brooklyn" to go. He also plans to soon offer delivery service. Della Rocca, a chef at the former Tre Amici on Pine Ridge Road for five years, has since operated Peter's Cuisine, a full-service personal chef catering service.
■ The Café, 821 Fifth Ave. S. in downtown Naples, has added a dinner menu and evening hours to its breakfast-lunch lineup. The restaurant, known for its baked goods made fresh there daily, opens every day at 7:30 a.m., and now serves dinner from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The Café, previously Coffee Beanery Ltd., has been owned and managed by Flemming Madsen and his wife, Gitte, since September 2009. The couple, born and raised in Denmark, moved to Naples last year after vacationing here for 15 years. Their new ownership culminated last month with a complete remodeling of the restaurant and kitchen.
Coming soon
■ A Taste of Brooklyn will open in about six weeks in the former spot of another New York-style pizzeria and Italian restaurant, Frankie & Johnny's, in the Shoppes at Pelican Landing, 24600 S. Tamiami Trail, Bonita Springs. New owner Joe Russo is busy renovating the entire interior of his restaurant, planning to add a 40-foot-long mural of the Brooklyn Bridge at night.
■ Taste of Chicago, 2366 Immokalee Road, is planning to open Thursday in Green Tree Center, on the southwest corner of Airport-Pulling and Immokalee roads in North Naples. Havanas Cuban Cafe and Grill recently closed after operating there for about eight years. The new Taste of Chicago sandwich shop, sandwiched between Naples Olive Oil Co. and Em-On's Thai Cafe, will be open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Leading the menu is Chicago Dog, an all-beef hot dog served Chicago-style, of course, on a steamed poppy-seed bun with mustard, relish, onion, tomatoes, pickles and celery salt. Taste of Chicago is not affiliated with Augustina's A Taste of Chicago in East Naples. By the way, Em-On's is temporarily closed until Dec. 27.

($65) Good full ruby-red. Serious, deep aromas of black raspberry, blackcurrant and smoke; more medicinal and less floral than the 2003. Then plump and lush in the mouth, with an early voluptuousness rare for a Forman cabernet. Very rich, pliant wine that's not at all roasted. In fact, this wine's verve suggests it will be even better with several years in the bottle. Finishes with substantial but thoroughly ripe tannins Forman inoculates his cabernet with a yeast generically called "cepage cabernet" (produced by a French company in Chile ), which he describes as "superclean" and able to ferment all the sugars and preserve pure fruit.Author: Stephen Tanzer

The Blue Hens, who won a national title in 2003, defeated Georgia Southern 27-10 in the national semifinals.

I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend. He's very picky with his clothing, but this made it to his rubric's high score. The material is very smooth. The shirt's design opens it up to different ways of being worn. It can be layered or worn by itself. It is a great combination of comfort and style.
Awesome thermal

I love this shirt. The material is soft and a little stretchy.... typical thermal material, very comfortable. The colors work well together and look great. I normally wear a Men's Large or M/L and this shirt in L fits me like a glove: sleeves hit me flush on my wrists with a little bit of play, length is perfect (doesn't ride up when I'm reaching for luggage). There is a small Volcom tag on the front bottom right above the seam. Great shirt, love it!

absolute flawless color scheme. i honestly dont like to shop online all that often because the pictures are sometimes very misleading. usually you like the way a shirt looks and then you look at it and person and it just doesnt fit right and the color is always off. well i will tell you as someone who used to HATE online shopping, this sweater i recieved from EVO has made me a believer. first date, out with friends, or going to grandmas this shirt handles pretty much any situation. just gives off that happy relaxed attitude that i am always looking for.

From the catacombs, to the grand spectacle of Baroque exuberance, no place captures the span of Christian experience like Rome. As the capital of Western Christianity for a millennium and a half, Rome served as the centerpiece of Christian devotion, attracting saints and sinners in every century, and retaining their palpable imprint. Rome remains a center for pilgrimage and the deepening of spiritual insight.

The key to a perfect complexion? Making sure it's tough enough to take anything life dishes out.
Fall's Most Anticipated Haircuts
"Contouring can be very technical but the basic theory is that you want to use dark, matte shades on areas you want to recede and absorb light, such as the sides of the nose and pockets of the cheeks, and light, shimmery shades on those you want to bring forward and reflect light, like the tops of the cheeks."
"I like contouring kits, since they have all the shades you need right there and some, like Smashbox's Step-By-Step, have application instructions inside, too."

Jan. 24, 2014
MADISON, Wis. – Even as temperatures outdoors continued to plummet, the Wisconsin men's hockey team stayed hot inside the Kohl Center, scoring four of the game's final five goals to down Ohio State, 5-3, on Friday night.
The win was the 10th in 11 games for Wisconsin (14-6-1, 5-2-0 B1G) and pushed UW's home record to 13-1-1 for the year.
Ohio State (11-9-1, 1-5-1 B1G) didn't make it easy for the Badgers, staying close through the first two periods, mostly due to a strong performance on the power play. The Buckeyes netted all three of their goals on special teams, but in the end it just wasn't enough to get past a streaking Wisconsin squad playing in front of a raucous home crowd.
After Nick Schilkey's power-play goal put the Badgers in a 2-1 deficit with 9:05 left in the second stanza, UW responded by rattling off three-straight scores to take a commanding 4-2 lead early in the final frame.
That lead held for nearly the entire period before David Gust trimmed the Wisconsin lead to 4-3 on a short-handed goal with 2:27 to play. But nothing would stand in the way of a determined Wisconsin team, and Joseph LaBate (Eagan, Minn.) provided the dagger on the power play just 56 seconds later when his wrister beat screened OSU goalie Matt Tomkins to restore UW's two-goal lead.
While it's usually basketball that's known as a game of runs, there were plenty of runs on the ice on Friday. It was Wisconsin that started strong, finding the net just 2:20 into the game, courtesy of Jake McCabe (Eau Claire, Wis.). The junior gained the puck off an offensive-zone faceoff, sliced down the right side of the ice and slung a shot through traffic for his sixth of the season.
The Badgers seemed to be riding high when a five-minute major was assessed to OSU's Nick Oddo at the 7:49 mark, giving UW a golden opportunity to add to its 1-0 advantage. Instead it was the Buckeyes who wrested momentum away from Wisconsin, killing the penalty before evening the score on a Ryan Dzingel goal with 5:18 left in the period.
Schilkey's goal continued the Buckeyes' momentum before rapid-fire goals by Morgan Zulinick (Kamloops, British Columbia), Tyler Barnes (Eagan, Minn.) and Joe Faust (Bloomington, Minn.) put the Badgers ahead to stay.
The scores came in a 6:12 stretch that spanned the second and third periods. Zulinick netted the game-tying goal with 5:30 left in the second period when his shot from the left circle deflected off Tomkins, into a Buckeye defender and back into the net.
Barnes followed suit with the go-ahead with 2:43 left in the frame. The senior took a feed from Mark Zengerle (Rochester, N.Y.) and ripped a shot from the slot. Tomkins was equal to the challenge, but the rebound found its way right back to Barnes, who finished on the second effort.
Faust put the finishing touches on the scoring barrage 42 seconds into the third, earning the game-winner on a shot from the high slot.
Joel Rumpel (Swift Current, Saskatchewan) earned his 11th win of the season by stopping 23 of 26 Buckeye shots, while Tomkins managed 24 saves on 29 offerings in the loss.
The Badgers finished the night 1-for-3 on the power play, while Ohio State went 2-for-6 with the man advantage.
Wisconsin returns to the ice at 7 p.m. on Saturday looking for its third-consecutive sweep of a conference opponent. The game will be televised live on Fox Sports Wisconsin alternate and will be shown on delay on the Wisconsin Channel at 10 p.m. Fans are encouraged to wear white to Wisconsin hockey's first-ever "White Out".

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Nestled away in Buffalo's eclectic Allentown district, Gabriel's Gate is a hotspot for savvy wing aficionados. It's a popular choice among those who eschew the Anchor Bar-Duffs battle for the best wings in the city.
A lot of people call Gabriel's Gate a "dive," but get through the door and you'll find a mix of charming 19th century architecture and a strange mix of wooden Indians, stuffed deer and bison, and other seemingly random trinkets on the walls.
The food is standard pub fare, but the bar's regulars will tell you Gabriel's Gate's takes on the simple dishes stand out among the rest. Besides the wings than many swear by, there's a wide variety of sandwiches and burgers, which are named after streets in the neighborhood.
And there's a fish fry that often gets into the conversation when you ask a group of people what their favorite in Western New York is.
Be sure to check out Gabriel's Gate here, and let us know where to go next on Facebook and in the comments section below.

|Spiritual Counseling in Manhattan NYC New York
The role of spiritual counseling is to address our nature as spiritual beings living in a material world.
Spiritual Counseling reconnects us to our Source Being as a way to remedy our feelings of disconnection or isolation—that original break in belonging. This leads many of us to seek lives of peace and contentment rather than losing our way by becoming seduced by things that distract us from the Truth.
My Manhattan-based, New York City (NYC), spiritual counseling practice teaches us that our original state is a pure expression of the Love of God. The Love that we seek can be found within the jewel of our own hearts, if we pause and listen to that "still small voice inside".
My approach honors where you are on your own unique journey—regardless of particular religious or spiritual perspectives. As an ordained Interfaith Minister, I endeavor to restore a sense of balance to your sense of "being in this world but not of it".
In addition , spiritual counseling teaches effective prayer and manifestation techniques, as well as how to see the big picture or meaning to our lives. We can do this through various methods of meditation—including the use of visualization, mantra, and spiritual chanting.
My spiritual counseling practice empowers you to focus in the present moment—in the here-and-now wherever you are—with ease and self-confidence, as you directly experience the love of God for yourself and others.
My Manhattan-based, New York City, spiritual counseling office is located new Lincoln Center.

Sailing the Seas of Cheese: Don't Want Your Forced Apologies
*Warning: I use some offensive phrases to illustrate a point. I do not endorse the use of them in any way. Since they are phrases that make grown adults cringe, I would like to let you know they are there in advance.
When I was in first grade I already knew I wanted to be a doctor "when I grew up." Needless to say I thrilled to death when my class took a field trip to one of the local hospitals. At the end the day, all of the kids were given toy medical kits. They were almost identical. Each had a toy thermometer, some bandages, and a cardboard stethoscope. But the boys received a cardboard head mirror that has been synonymous with physicians for ages. Meanwhile the girls were handed cardboard nursing caps. When I questioned it, an older nurse dismissively told me that, silly girl, boys grow up to be doctors.
Fast forward sixteen years later, and I was sitting in a histology (the study of cells–yes about as exciting as it sounds) in my first year of medical school. During the lab component of the class, we clustered around group microscopes where six students could simultaneously view the same slide. By chance, I had been assigned to a team where I was the only woman. No big deal. I'd worked in a lab where I was the only female lab tech. But it didn't take long before one of my histology partners started uttering a word to me over and over again.
Coño .
Spanish for cunt, coyly uttered as though I didn't understand the word. Over and over again throughout the twelve week course. I've never taken a Spanish class in my life, but I knew exactly what that word meant.
You don't belong here .
The Puerto Rican guy at our microscope would occasionally giggle like a little kid who heard someone say the word "fart." The other three young men either didn't get it (I suspect the guy from Ghana didn't understand that it was even a slur) or simply buried their collective heads in the sand since it wasn't their problem. I never gave that pig the satisfaction of cowering or getting angry. I simply ignored him. Unfortunately I was also raised with the belief that "tattling" was a sign of weakness, that sticks and stones may break your bones but words could never hurt me. So I simply put up with harassment.
That is until I realized I didn't have to put up with it. I had two choices. I could go to the Dean and file a formal complaint. Yeah, he would get his butt nailed to the wall, but it wasn't something to get expelled over, so I would be stuck dealing with this jerk for the next three in a half years. So I did it my way. I decided this pig had no power over me. I told his toady friend that if he called me a coño again I would let the Dean know and you all could connect the dots from there. It took all of three days for the guy to call me at home, hat in hand. It was a misunderstanding. I didn't hear him correctly. He was only joking… There were enough half-assed phrases you could play Excuse Bingo. Never received an apology, but never expected one. But you know what? He never came within about fifty feet of me for the rest of medical school. Suddenly I was the one who had the upper hand.
Funny how when you call someone on their BS, he quickly back tracks to the "I was just joking" excuse. Heck, my six-year-old has already learned that lame excuse to get off the hook after getting busted for doing something horrible to her sister. Since it doesn't work with me when a kindergarten graduate pulls it out of her bag of tricks, why would a grown adult expect it to work this past week?
What if the referee slated to officiate the game this week wasn't going to be Shannon Eastin as was just another guy. Would that writer be able to get off the hook with the "I was just making fun of the situation" if he has posted This Nigger Will Officiate Packers Game or something equally lovely such as This Faggot Will Officiate Packers Game ?
We have come far as a society where these types of perjoratives are not tolerated in mainstream circles. So why is it still acceptable to degrade a woman professional? Just as I had earned a place in my medical school class, Shannon Eastin earned a place in the referee corps (albeit the replacement corps) not because of a double-top secret quota that needed to be attained, not out of pity and certainly not to stick it to the establishment. Positions were earned on a history of proven performance.
Unfortunately there are some that are threatened by such accomplishments and feel the need to reduce us to whores, bitches, cunts and broads. Because when you're stripped down to just your genitalia, it's easier to degrade a caricature and forget there is a human being on the other end of such insults. And it is certainly easier to belittle those of us who question such shenanigans with comments such as, You'll never get a man with that mouth/attitude, radical feminists. And then there was the eloquent poster that just cut to the chase and called us oversensitive cunts .
Seriously, what is with the fascination with my vagina? (Or should I say, my complete lack of a penis.) Enough already.
There was a time when Lawn Jockey statues were perfectly acceptable, quaint if not cute. My grandparents had one in their yard, and they lived nowhere near the deep south. Good luck not being labeled as insensitive racist if you decide to put one in your yard in this day and age. Hopefully we'll grow enough some day when blatant declarations of sexism won't get a pass either.
I was only joking can only get you so much mileage. It doesn't do jack to hide the undercurrent of the issued joke: you don't belong here.
It doesn't make me oversensitive or a radical feminist when I don't like that type of joking. Wait, let's just call it what it is–intolerance. Because I sure as hell am not laughing.
I put up with enough sexist intolerance in my life. It doesn't mean I am willing to turn a blind eye like my lab mates in histology. It doesn't mean that I need to put up with it like the younger me did for some time. And I certainly don't have to accept a half-assed apology that was issued only because someone called the This Broad author on his crap.
I have learned–and I'm pretty certain Shannon Eastin has as well–that when you cast light on someone lobbing insults of intolerance, they hold no power over you.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but I don't have to sit silent and put up with your discriminatory bull crap.

Everything I Do, I Do It For You…Unless You Marry Jessica Biel
And if that happens, we're donezo….
Another one bites the dust. On the off chance you've been living in a fallout shelter, I've got some terrible news: Justin Timberlake is officially off the market. Shhhh, don't cry, it's going to be alright. He married Jessica Biel in a reported $6.5 million Italian destination wedding earlier this month, making him the latest in a long line of dreamy teen/heartthrob idols who are no longer in contention to sweep us common folk off our delusional feet. Life is one cruel mistress.
I know the sharp pain of reality all too well. I've been there. The year was 1993. The movie was Untamed Heart, and I instantly knew upon feasting my eyes on Christian Slater that this was true love – nay, this was something bigger than all of us. I should probably also mention that I was 11 at the time. Why concern yourself with reason or logic when Robin of Loxley's illegitimate half-brother is like…whoa!
I'm not going to lie; to this day I still hold a candle for mi amore, even after all these years. He got me through some very tough adolescent times in dreary middle class Northern California-home to countless terrifying Abercrombie & Fitch gangs-thanks to cinematic escapes like Pump Up The Volume, Kuffs, and of course, Heathers. Which is why it was such a junk punch when he married the stunning and seemingly lovely Ryan Haddon in 2000. Where does that leave me, Christian? Where? Alone, and surrounded by way too much khaki.
What is it, exactly, that compels us to worship at the altar of certain people? These personalities who we, almost always, are the ones to put on a pedestal to begin with? Is it escapism? Longing for a seemingly better life? Or maybe it's nostalgia because they remind us of a moment in time when we were carefree, helping us to forget the outside world in all its "cray cray" glory, even if only for a short while. Regardless, when our idols move on with their lives, unfortunately, we're expected to do the same. The real difficulty lies in admitting we all have to leave Neverland at some point, with or without our super famous husband.
Fortunately, fate still can work in your favor from time to time. For instance, when you find yourself pulling into the valet of a Los Angeles hotel, only to realize the man getting out of the car in front of you is none other than your former "fiancé." Somehow you manage to lock eyes for a brief moment as you're both getting out of your vehicles, he flashes you that famous son-of-a-gun grin, gives you a quick head nod, then disappears into the night. And for a fleeting moment, the world makes sense again.

"There is no question that I have done wrong," John Edwards said Friday in front of the North Carolina courtroom where he pleaded not guilty to six counts of violating federal campaign laws. "I take full responsibility for having done wrong."
But, Edwards said, he did not violate federal law.
"I will regret for the rest of my life the pain and the harm that I have done," the former Democratic presidential candidate said, "but I did not break the law and I never, ever thought I was breaking the law."

Daemen College : Admissions : Undergraduate Admissions : Keys to Student Success
Adjusting to life as a college student can be an exciting, but sometimes overwhelming task. At Daemen we care deeply about the experiences our first year students have and we work hard to foster positive learning and living situations and to provide critical support for our new students.
Like many colleges we offer a wide range of services and opportunities for our first year students through Residence and Student Life. Becoming involved in positive activities on campus is crucial for personal wellness and growth. But, at Daemen we also take special care to address the transitions that take place for first year students in the classroom.
That's why all first-year students take an Interdisciplinary Studies class – a theme-based multidisciplinary course generally taken during the first semester of the freshman year. It is designed to challenge students intellectually, build an appreciation for the core curriculum, initiate acquisition of essential competencies, introduce institutional and academic support services, and foster a sense of community throughout the campus. The course alternates between lecture and small-group discussion sections. A different theme, used to organize the content, is selected each year.
First-year students are also encouraged to participate in programs and events designed to aid them in their transition from high school to college, including the Peer Mentor Program, in which first-year students are paired with upper-level students who are available to provide advice on both academic and extracurricular concerns. A variety of workshops are also available throughout the year to assist students in such areas as study skills, time management, test-taking strategies, and clarifying academic and career goals.
At Daemen, we understand that good advising can mean everything! All students are assigned advisors who are available during registration periods and throughout the academic year to assist students within specific academic divisions. Plus, our trained Academic Support Services provide guidance on academic, personal, and social matters. They monitor our students' academic progress, assist with their personal needs, maintain close contact with the faculty, and provide special counseling to students on academic probation.
Building a quality resume while in college can be a just the ticket you need to land a great job when you graduate. Our Career Development Center provides a wide variety of services specially geared to the vocational and self-development needs of the Daemen College community and they work hard to find quality internship and job placements for our students. Whether you need assistance figuring out what kind of career you'd best be suited for, or where to find the perfect internship, our Career Services staff will help you along the way.
Get tips about how to study effectively and get the most out of your college career and learn how to be the best student you can be! The Learning Center at Daemen College is a quiet and peaceful environment that provides a variety of resources and tutoring for students in all majors. ALL students are welcome and encouraged to take advantage of the Center's free services.
We know everyone has the potential to be an outstanding student, and we want to help our students achieve their fullest potential in the classroom! That's why Daemen offers a variety of academic coaching services including individual coaching, group sessions, and supplemental instruction for all of our students. Coaches are available for almost every course on campus and they offer outstanding assistance in writing, study techniques, learning styles, and learning strategies. Workshops in study skills, time management and test-taking are also presented during the semester. Plus OWL, our On-line Writing Lab provides students the opportunity to submit their writing electronically and receive feedback anytime and anywhere.
Need a little refresher in reading, math or writing? Enrichment courses and/or academic coaching in reading, writing and mathematics are offered so that students can develop the literacy and numeric skills required by the academic community. A Reading and Writing Lab located in The Learning Center has a variety of materials available for students to practice specific reading and writing skills.
Personalized learning strategies and supplemental services are arranged for all Daemen students with special needs through our Learning Center Coordinator.

Birmingham -- It's been one week since Parrish acting police chief Sonny Sorrell committed suicide near a granite memorial to slain police officers in downtown Birmingham. News coverage was full of accounts of the suicide and that of a woman found hanging under a bridge in northern Alabama. Suicide is a very tricky thing for journalists to cover -- and mental health professionals say if it's not covered well a lot of harm can result. In the latest installment of our Making Sense of Mental Health series, reporter Francesca Rosko talks with Lisa Hermes of the Birmingham Crisis Center.
Jenn Burleson-MacKay knows first hand the difficulty of covering suicide. She teaches reporting classes at the University of Alabama and several years ago, as a reporter in Virginia, she had to cover the suicide of a teenage girl named Galen. The story made national news because a man who sold drugs to Galen was charged with murder.
-- Francesca Rosko, May 10, 2005
Editor's note: This is our latest piece in a year-long commitment to covering mental health issues in Alabama. You can learn more about our "Making Sense of Mental Health" project and find local mental health resources -- as our commitment continues throughout the year -- inside this website.

Arraignment postponed again for teen accused of shooting parents in Golden Gate Estates
Attorneys again postponed the arraignment of a Naples teenager accused of shooting his parents in their Golden Gate Estates home.
Alex Crain, 14, was arrested on a pair of second-degree murder charges in the fatal shootings of parents Thomas, 40, and Kelly Crain, 39, in December. He currently awaits the filing of formal charges by state prosecutors, a move that will determine the severity of a possible sentence.
Monday, Assistant State Attorney Richard Montecalvo told Collier Circuit Judge Lauren Brodie that the state awaited a report from a psychiatrist appointed by prosecutors to evaluate Crain. Attorneys for Crain have already conducted their own evaluation with a separate psychiatrist.
Crain's arraignment is now scheduled for March 15.
Defense attorney Mark Rankin said he and co-counsel Brian Bieber were willing to wait for the state to finish its work. The attorneys, with Crain's family, are pushing for the teenager to be tried as a juvenile, a designation that would lessen the severity of any possible punishment.
"They'll hopefully see he's a little boy, 14 years old, and he should be charged as a (juvenile)," Rankin said.
Crain appeared with Rankin for the brief hearing. Clad in a blue detention jumpsuit, he clasped his hands behind his back and looked forward. More than a dozen family members and supporters occupied two benches of the courtroom.
Crain will remain in juvenile detention until his arraignment.

Ajax jMaki new Stylized JSP wizards
Bonjour, comment Java?
Ajax jMaki plugin (https://ajax.dev.java.net) for NetBeans is evolving rapidly. Now, a new set of JSP wizards is available to create JSP files following well defined CSS styles. After installing this add-on plugin, you'll have access to the jMaki palette for easy Drag and Drop of Ajax components from dojo library, yahoo toolkit, google, etc as seen in this visual gallery, and the new wizard called "Stylized JSP (jMaki)" on a regular web application project:
The wizard creates a JSP file, and allows you to pick and choose a CSS layout from the jMaki repository. The current possible CSS layouts to pick from are:
- Standard
- Standard with footer
- Standard with right sidebar
- Right sidebar
- Centered
- 3 columns
This is the initial list, and Greg Murray is already working on extending it.
See below the generated JSP which is using the "Standard with right sidebar" layout. Notice the different areas for "Side Bar Content Here" ,"Right Side Bar Content Here", and "Main Content Pane". This is typically areas where you want to Drag and Drop jMaki components from the jMaki palette. For example, the side bar area is a good candidate to display a Tree (dojo or yahoo) or an accordion.
1 -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

I hope you'll find this wizard useful...Try to imagine your productivity if you could visualize in real time the rendered page inside NetBeans itself. This would be a new entry in my blog very soon since I am investigating the JDIC embedded browser in NetBeans...Apple Mac version coming soon.

'Joy' Of Enterprise Systems Implementations
Part 2: Implementation Key Success Factors
has long been a general feeling based on rumors, news headlines and some
casual survey reports hidden within analyst houses' vaults and largely
inaccessible to mass audience owing to exorbitant subscription fees, has
recently been confirmed in a more tangible manner. Namely, many major
companies are still having difficulty achieving effective enterprise resource
planning (ERP) systems even after a full year of implementation, according
to the report titled ERP Trends (Research Report 1292-01-RR) and released
several months ago by The Conference Board, the premier business membership
and research network worldwide, which links executives from different
companies, industries, and countries. The general feeling is that the
situation can be mirrored across the entire enterprise applications space.
is a four-part note. Part
One summarized a report titled ERP Trends by The Conference Board.
This part comments on the major key success factors (KSF's) for enterprise
applications projects and on the causes of enterprise systems implementation
failures. Part Three will continue the analysis. Part Four will make User
Recommendations based on this information.
Success Factors
long suspected and hinted in the past, the report confirms that the compelling
business case and the management's commitment are the major key success
factors (KSF). These are, furthermore, mutually causal. For the project
to get the commitment of the likes of a CEO and thereby have the best
chance of success, he/she must visualize the enterprise system implementation
as improving the attainment of certain business objectives.
unfortunately, has not often been the case in the past deceived by the
technology siren song (for more information, see The
"Old ERP" Dilemma: Replace or Add-on), many companies have failed
to construct a tangible business rationale, let alone return calculate
the investment (ROI) for an implementation. The situation is not much
easier in case of system upgrades despite the attractiveness of expanding
new functionality frontiers, as the battle to get all the applications
inside and outside the enterprise work together rather than to merely
automate parts of the business within the four walls.
main enterprises' interest today is in systems that make interactions
between trading partners more efficient and that contribute to bottom-line
betterment. To that end, new functional areas beyond core ERP (but increasingly
provided by many ERP vendors as well) such as e-procurement, portals,
business intelligence (BI)/analytics, web self-service, etc. offer a promise
of increasing supply chain efficiency and customer service.
any case, top management's frivolous approach quickly gets revealed and
the attitude cascades down the hierarchy. The promise of helping everyone
within the organization improve his or her objectives then degenerates
into a software implementation trudge dominated by the IT department.
Anyone who felt left out will, intentionally or not, demoralize the success
of the project by simply going through the motions.
it is crucial that the use of consultants does not mean that the company
loses "ownership" of the project. Very often the company, not realizing
the importance of a full time project leader and the project team, does
not release them from their obligations in their regular positions. When
their administrative duties get too demanding, the implementation commitment
is the first thing to go. Consequently, the buy-in of the users that have
the stake in operational success of the system is crucial as well. It
is important to assign responsibilities and rewards to staff members who
both have a good grasp of the technology and the intimate understanding
of the company's business requirements and processes.
as a result, outside consultants will have to slog through the most mundane
tasks like data capturing/cleansing, which were contractually assigned
to the customer's team and blatantly shirked by these. The consultants'
thinking has been that the overtime work was a lesser evil than the ensuing
finger pointing in case of a missed go live' deadline and the budget
overrun. One should only imagine the fate of the live system in the hands
of highly indifferent end users after consultant's departure. Therefore,
enterprises that hire consultants/system integrators for an implementation/upgrade
projects must ensure open channels and candid communication. Any problems
with the business objectives, deadlines, project scope should be brought
to light promptly as to avoid endless disputes after the event.
Plan/Managing Expectations is Crucial
lack of well devised, realistic and thorough project plan with the rationale
why the software is being implemented, what parts of business will be
affected and how, and how long it will take, was also cited by the report
as the main reason of dissatisfaction. The lack of a sound plan also leads
to another common implementation problem the dreaded scope creep.
of limiting the applications functionality and project scope, the companies
let eventually awakened and project engrossed users suggest modifications
on the fly that rapidly eat up project budget and time. Often, these modifications
are required only to replicate the existing (probably ineffective) legacy
processes since that is how the business has been run for ages'. Still,
a limited number of customizations may be necessary as to accommodate
critical differentiating business practices, and no vendor can provide
out-of-the-box solution to all businesses. For more modifications' rationale
and caveats, see Should
You Modify an Application Product?
compromise might work the best implement the new system with minimum
necessary modifications and see how vehemently users demand/complain down
the track. Often, implementing/upgrading an enterprise system offers a
good opportunity for enterprises to review their key business processes
and resources. An enterprise system is only a means to an end - management
of complex business processes (including streamlining redundant processes)
to improve profitability, productivity and efficiency.
because developing a plan to determine how the implementation/upgrade
will affect the company is likely the most important part of the project,
it should be assigned ample time and attention. Staff scheduling and careful
stocktaking of necessary customizations are essential to the project success.
Process standardization across like units at dispersed locations and the
unification of data coding system (e.g., part numbers, chart of accounts
numbers) should typically increase the system effectiveness, and should
be paid due attention at this stage as well. In any case, the imposed
changes to well-accustomed business practices will require change management
to handle employees' resentment of new business practices and likely reorganization.
the "Big Bang" Approach
so called "Big Bang" approach, that is, rather than moving to the new
system one component at a time, doing it in one fell stroke, has also
been attributed to a number of failed implementations. Until recently
the approach has virtually been mandated by the prevalence of monolithic
ERP products. Now the trend is to deliver the products as web-based components
recently increasingly referred to as Web Services (see Where Is ERP Headed
(Or Better, Where Should It Be Headed)? Part 2: Product Architecture and
companies nowadays start out thinking in terms of a Big Bang, but later
decide to follow a "phased" approach, in which new parts of the system
are introduced incrementally. This more cautious strategy allows system
bugs to be found and corrected before moving on to the next phase, while
reducing the shock to the users that inevitably accompanies new corporate-wide
system implementations. Big Bangs are misleading in their promise of "once
and it's done" benefits as investments made to remedy problems can quickly
outweigh anticipated savings.
are adopting an incremental approach and starting with the mature modules
that need the least customization. Often projects involve a pilot implementation
that allows the company to make sure the future system will match well
the set of business processes. This in turn should build momentum, prove
the concept and benefits, and consequently garner support and enthusiasm
from other departments and top management. The case is somewhat different
in case of product upgrades, where the Big Bang approach may be beneficial
(i.e., less expensive and shorter) due to the consistent effort required
in planning, system installation, and data migration phases regardless
of the project scope.
as an Alternative
approach would be to opt for vendors' rapid (fast-path) implementation
tools and programs, with all-too-familiar accelerated' or fast-forward'
monikers, bearing in mind the potential benefits but also ramifications
of using them (see Fast-path
Implementations - Are They Good or Bad?).
Competency Centers for Maintenance
increasing deployment of "competency centers" to manage the maintenance
and support of ERP environments indicates another important people issue
ongoing appropriate training and the promotion of IT departments into
enterprise knowledge systems rather than mere a data processing centers.
Time and again people who have implemented systems, even with the successful
outcome, claim they did not have a sufficient level of understanding of
either the software or the underlying business processes and procedures
needed to work in an integrated environment.
has typically been referred to as training has proven to be useless
too often companies fall in the trap of training employees how to navigate
screen or which field or button does what' instead of boosting their
ability to realize the underlying flow of information through business
processes. ERP systems, in fact, are devised to operate by codifying a
set of business processes and employees have to learn the whys, wheres
and whos of the business process (workflows) rather than hows of the software
screens. Without learning the whys and wherefores of the process, users
retain their pre-ERP mindset silos, which is quite detrimental in an interwoven
ERP environment (when, e.g., a sales order clerk does not understand the
implications of his/her transactions on the other users of the system).
should only imagine the magnitude of intricacy in case of implementing
business processes that span across different enterprises and that are
dependent on users over which the client enterprise has a little (or not
at all) authority. Collaborative business is awfully complex and what
business scenarios are well supported will depend on the commitment and
involvement of all trading partners in case. Progressing software transactional
to business-process management (BPM) within heterogeneous intra-enterprise
environments is quite intricate and a time-consuming exercise for any
vendor, system integrator, and, needles to say, any client organization.
in addition to carefully studying their own capabilities, companies should
also carefully scrutinize those of their business partners. An example
would be a company that did implement Web self-service without assessing
the preferred channel of communications of their customers, some of which
still did not have Web access.
make things worse, training and system testing typically happens at the
end of implementation, often immediately before going live, when it is
too late and everybody feels stressed. Needles to say that, due to the
mission-critical nature of the enterprise systems, they should be thoroughly
tested and put through their paces before being fully deployed; of course,
not on dummy, sandbox data, but rather on actual data from specific real-world
business scenarios. A manufacturing company should, e.g., invoke past
orders from customers and route them again through the entire workflow
from designing the product, passing it onto production, delivering it,
and billing for it.
as enterprise systems typically outlive the IT employees and project members
that conceptualize, implement, and modify systems on the go, documenting
the system is also crucial so that future users grasp quickly the business
process rationale behind the system. Documentation is also needed for
future product updates, extensions and collaborative systems integrations
that the future will inevitably bring. Finally, the documentation may
demarcate the area of responsibility and the scope of engagement for all
involved parties (the customer, consultants, and the vendor).
concludes Part Two of a four-part report. Part
One summarized a report titled ERP Trends by The Conference Board.
Part Three will continue the discussion of the causes of ERP implementation
failures. Part Four will make User Recommendations.

Maple syrup has long reigned over pancakes and waffles, so why not change up the routine with a fruit sauce? Drizzling -- or pouring -- a sauce with chunks of apples and pears over your pancakes will surely wake up your taste buds.
Here are tips for making a delicious fruit sauce to brighten your breakfast routine:
Choose in-season fruit. Apples, pears, pomegranates, cranberries, figs, certain cherries and plums, and oranges are all readily available this time of year.
Add some flavor. While in-season fruit is always flavorful, adding a cinnamon or vanilla stick, or some freshly squeezed lemon juice will give your fruit sauce some depth. Some recipes even call for grated ginger and a little salt. Cooking the fruit with brown sugar and a dab of butter adds richness, and orange juice also makes a nice base for sauces.
Pick a perfect pair. Apples and pears make a nice flavor combination, but consider shaking things up by pairing plums with pears, cranberries with apples, or oranges with cherries.
Can't give up syrup? If fruit sauces sound appealing, but you just can't give up the sticky goodness of maple syrup, use syrup as a base. The fruit flavors will infuse into the syrup and you get to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Cook it up. Peel and core the fruit of your choice. Chop the fruit as small or large as you want -- just remember the natural juices will come out and the size of your fruit chunks will reduce. To your sauce pan, add butter and brown sugar, or simply toss in the fruit and any other flavors to your liking. Bring to a low boil and heat the fruit as much as you like. If you want a smoother texture, consider straining the sauce.

I am Robert
Goff and I would like to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for the
upcoming primary election on May 20, 2014. I am a candidate for the State
Representative District 1 seat. I have served on the Dade County Commission as
the District 3 Commissioner, for the past five years. According to state law I
had to resign that seat if I qualified to seek another elected position.
I am thankful
for the opportunity to have served the people of Dade County for the past five
years. I have lived in Dade County since the day I was born. I am truly a life
long resident.
I will, when
elected, represent both the people of western Walker County and all of Dade,
which make up the 1st District. I feel that I have both the qualifications and
the experience to be the voice of the people in Georgia's northwest corner. For
too long we have needed someone who has served in some capacity, to stand up in
Atlanta and be a voice of reason. We need that voice to stand up against the
one size fits all mentality in Atlanta. My years on the Commission during some
of the most difficult times in our history have shown me that we need that
There are many
issues that are important to both the people of District 1, and all of Georgia.
Issues like, the economy, Constitution, marriage, education, gun rights, and
many others that demand action not reaction.
If anyone wants to know where I stand on any issue please call me at
(423) 503-0618 or e-mail me at email@example.com. I hope to get out and meet as
many of you as I can, but I know I can't knock on every door. I ask you to
remember the name, Robert Goff, when you go to the pole on May 20th, or during
early voting in both Walker and Dade counties.
