Area jobless rate falls

With the tourism season in full swing, July is normally a time of high employment in Southeastern North Carolina.
July unemployment (July 2012 in parentheses)
Wilmington metro: 9.2% (10.1%)
New Hanover County: 8.8 % (9.5%)
Brunswick County: 9.3% (11%)
Pender County: 10.2% (11.2%)
North Carolina: 9.1% (10%)
Not adjusted for seasonal variations
Source: N.C. Division of Employment Security
But last month's unemployment figures released Wednesday by the state offered some hope that real improvement is taking place.
Unemployment dropped in July in metro Wilmington and in all three counties that make up the area, according to figures from the N.C. Division of Employment Security.
The jobless rate fell not only from a year earlier but also from June.
But as important as the drop in unemployment was the increase in employment.
The jobless figures are not adjusted for seasonal variations, such as hiring for the tourist season, so year-over-year comparisons offer the best clue on trends.
But even after adjusting for the time of year, the number of people with a job actually climbed, said William "Woody" Hall, senior economist at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
With the exception of December 2012, the number of people employed in the Wilmington area was the highest since July 2008, he said.
"Across the board, we saw increases in employment in all three counties and reductions in unemployment," Hall said.
Not only did the unemployed get jobs, but also people who weren't previously looking for jobs, he said.
Hall cautioned that one month's showing doesn't represent a trend and that monthly figures are volatile. But he pointed out that the Wilmington area added about 600 jobs between June and July and if that continued it would amount to around 7,200 jobs over a year.
Unemployment for the metropolitan area – which comprises New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties – stood at 9.2 percent last month, down from 10.1 percent in July 2012 and 9.4 percent in June.
New Hanover's jobless rate dropped to 8.8 percent in July compared with 9.5 percent a year earlier and 9 percent in June.
In Brunswick, joblessness declined to 9.3 percent last month from 11 percent a year earlier. It was down a half percentage point from June, when it was 9.8 percent.
Pender County was the only one of the three counties to have a double-digit unemployment rate last month. But the 10.2 percent for July was down from 11.2 percent in July 2012 and 10.4 percent in June.
The state average for July was 9.1 percent.
The national unemployment rate in July was 7.4 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. It was 8.2 percent in July 2012.

More: How did you get the idea for the movie?
Annie Howell: Lisa and I became friends at NYU film school when we realized that we had a very similar aesthetic. Over time, we came up with an idea for a web series about a woman who was a technologist. We were both fascinated with technology and felt that we hadn't seen a female tech-obsessed person in the way that we wanted to craft her.
Lisa Robinson: When we first started thinking about this idea, the iPhone had just come out and people were starting to feel close to their devices. We saw that there was some fun to be had, and we wanted to explore the relationships we have with our devices, as well as our relationships with others. We made the web series "Sparks," which was syndicated by the Sundance Channel, and people seemed to respond. We then decided to put the character into a more complex scenario with a longer dramatic arc.
More: What aspects of the film could the MORE reader relate to?
LR: A lot of women have interesting relationships with technology—it differs by generation. Some women have come to it later in their lives, while others have had it as part of their landscape all along.
At one screening there was a woman who'd had six children. After the film she said to me, "You know, every time I had a child—even my sixth one—I've still faced these feelings of uncertainty." I thought it was interesting that she related to the story even though it depicts a first-time mom. These are complex feelings that are part of the time where your body is going through biological processes and yet we live in this very sophisticated, tech-y world. The juxtaposition of the two is interesting to see.
AH: It has also appealed to women who don't have children. Just the notion of facing the unknown is so universal.
LR: The film is about searching. We wanted to make sure that the protagonist was looking for answers to her life struggles, even though she doesn't necessarily get the answers that she wants. She still went on a journey to get them.
AH: It was so fun to put a pregnant woman alone on the road. It was fun for us to portray pregnancy as something that's not just about swollen ankles and eating pickles. So many women have pregnancies where they are living life in a very normal way. I've never seen that before, where a pregnant woman is on solo journey for much of the story.
More: What's it like being a midlife woman working as a filmmaker?
AH: Like everything, it has its ups and downs. We both have MFAs in film. We each have made a number of short films that have been on the festival circuit worldwide. One really empowering thing about making this film was being able to do it on our own terms.
LR: It's nice to take control of the progress and to be our own mentors in a sense.
More: What can you do now as a filmmaker that you couldn't do in your 20s?
LR: The technology certainly has made things easier. It's very flexible, adept and inexpensive. We are in a very exciting time for filmmaking.
AH: Also, having had so many other life experiences—having children, establishing another career as a professor—I definitely feel more at ease and understand the context better.
LR: Perspective has shifted over time. I think this project has come out of our own life experiences. I'm not sure either of us would have written this story 15 to 20 years ago.
More: What would you say to other midlife women about following their creative passion?
LR: There used to be a lot of talk celebrating the youth of directors in film. More recently on the festival circuit, we've seen women making films that are quite successful—some who started their careers later in life. It's exciting and empowering to see women coming to directing in their late 30s or early 40s, or even after that. Some of the stories are really interesting because they may have a certain life experience behind them that we haven't seen on screen before. Women should feel encouraged that, if filmmaking is something that they want to pursue, there's opportunity out there.

The title of the certifying entity (Wine & Spirits Education Trust,) its headquarters (London,) and the whole idea of being "trained" in wine appreciation all sound pretty intimidating to those of us whose per bottle wine budget runs sub-Jackson.
I mean, look at that logo!
But I defy anyone to be intimidated by Jimmy Santangelo, whose Wine Academy runs the WSET classes in Utah. I started the Level I course with great trepidation, finished with nervousness and skepticism and find, a year later, that I actually did retain a lot of wine knowledge.
This session's classes will be held at Plum Alley, so the venue will be fun, too.
Go on and invest in yourself and you'll find that in the long run, it helps your wine budget by teaching you to buy better for less.

Well I'm thinking about buying one. But I don't know if it's worth getting the new one or if I should just buy iPad2... (And don't start with other Tabs.. If I'm buying one - it's iPad...)
Ok, get the new one, its well worth it! And depending on how much music you have, unless you have a ton, get the 32GB one, you won't need 64, games, apps, photos and other stuffs are tiny!
I have the iPad 2, love it.
If you want the latest and greatest get the new iPad. I mean the only differences between them are
Retina Display
Better internals - improved CPU, more RAM (which means less refreshing for Safari pages)
The new iPad is slightly thicker than the iPad 2 and heavier.
So basically, can you afford the new iPad, and if you can, do you think that money is worth those extra features? That's what it comes down to really.
Hm.. That Retina Display.. What is it really?
It's a marketing thing tbh. It's a high screen resolution that is meant to have so many ppi that your eye can't make out individual pixels.
New iPad - 2048-by-1536-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch
iPad 2 - 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch
Okay... Well I'll have to go and try both out and see if the difference is worth the money xD
Got an iPad 2 and it's really worth the money. Of course, I use mine for working purposes but it's still great to use for music, movies, games and so forth. I didn't bother with an iPad 3. Usually when I bought an iPhone which was one generation below the most recent iPhone, I felt that I needed the new one but for iPad, I'm very happy with my second gen.
Don't bother with the original iPad. Apple does not provide software updates (like the upcoming iOS 6) for it anymore.
I hardly use my iPad 2 or my "new" iPad
My iPhone and the Mountain Lion developer preview are all I really use Apple wise. I'll use it occasionally to play games, school stuff, etc.
I love my iPad 3. It is one of my favorite recent purchases. I am normally somewhat skeptical to spend large amounts of money, but, I have not even looked back a little after the purchase of my iPad 3. I bought all the bells and whistles and nearly spent $1,000 on it, which is a bit much, but, I loved the iPad 1 I had so much that I sold it and got the 3. The retina display is amazing, it has almost entirely replaced my core i7 laptop that I had for years because of its portability, speed, and the fact that it just is a better experience than my laptop. The only reason I use my laptop anymore is to spend the night at a friends' house and play Diablo III. I plan to use my iPad a lot in college.
The retina display is amazing. You have to see it to believe it, really. It's much more visually distinctive than the iPad 2's screen resolution which is rated at 1024x768. I notice the sharpness difference in the screens greatly. It's huge. The camera on the iPad 3 is also MUCH better than the iPad 2's camera. It actually takes some pretty awesome shots and great video, whereas the iPad 2's camera is pretty grainy and low quality.

ZF-4588: Add Zend_Json_Expr Proposal
The Zend_Json_Expr proposal is very small and simple and is a very important component for the 1.7 release. Since its newly included javascript library support (Dojo and jQuery) who may very much relay on executable javascript in Json.
The author of the proposal needs to mark it as ready for recommendation before we will review it for inclusion.
The proposal has been approved; simply waiting for the author to commit the code.
Closing issue since we're tracking on this in the proposal process.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Vegetables
A San Antonio Success
by Calvin R. Finch
On what used to be a caliche parking lot in one of the toughest neighborhoods of San Antonio, 205 fourth and fifth graders now plant, care for and harvest vegetables in spring and fall at the Avenida Guadalupe Garden. Under the leadership of Master Gardeners Jerry Herrera and Joe Medellin, these youths monitor drip irrigation systems in 20 raised-bed gardens and reap harvests of broccoli, beans, greens, lettuce, onions, peppers, squash, tomatoes and other vegetables -- along with a newfound respect for the earth and for themselves.
One of the sponsors of the garden, the local TV station KSAT, regularly films gardening shows at the site -- a change from what used to be newscasts of drive-by shootings in the area. Another sponsor, NationsBank, recently contributed funds for 10 more 4'x 40' raised beds with drip irrigation.
At another inner-city site in San Antonio, 30 juvenile offenders (ages 15 to 18) constructed a large neighborhood vegetable garden and served as mentors for some 70 eight- to 13-year-olds. Before the garden became a reality a year ago, Rodriquez Park held the distinction of being the most vandalized park in the entire county. Graffiti and equipment thefts were rampant.
Now, instead of loitering at local hangouts on Saturdays and after school, at-risk youths learn about gardening, nutrition and the environment from Master Gardeners and grow and harvest their own vegetables. Pairing older kids who have gotten into trouble with younger ones who haven't may seem like an odd match, but it didn't work out that way. Vandalism is way down, and police officials are so impressed with the results that they are funding more gardens in other hard-hit neighborhoods.
What's going on here? Like any other large American city, San Antonio has its share of social malaise. Gang violence, drug use, teen pregnancies, school dropouts and vandalism are all part of the scene. But there's another force at work here, too: gardening. Thanks to the efforts of some dedicated Maer Gardeners and their partner organizations, it's making a difference.
Bexar County, which includes the city of San Antonio, is home to one of the most active Master Gardener chapters in North America. In this mild climate, gardening is a year-round activity, and 300 volunteers in Bexar County log more than 21,000 combined hours of public service a year.
The main focus of the five-year-old group is youth gardening, for good reason: Community leaders in San Antonio have discovered that gardening is an effective tool for motivating kids to learn, to stay in school, and to have pride in themselves and in their community.

I decided the bullet trap needed a blast shield to reduce the amount of blast entering and to limit the amount of debris exiting. I had a couple of pieces of stainless plate laying around and made one up. I had to extend the gun rail 8" to accommodate it.
It was worth the trouble, it keeps a lot of crap from blowing out of the pipe when you are testing guns, specially ones in 7.62 x 54R

Rated 4 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by dinnerware lover True to pictures Love this set! I used it for the Thanksgiving holiday and got lots of comments, but it can just as easily be used for every day. I can't find anything that I don't like about it! January 28, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Bowlseeker Love Bowl, Sad about Quality We searched forever for what is now called a cereal bowl, so we didn't double our portions each time we used a bowl, as with most tall 16-20 oz bowls, and so we could use bowls that fit in the bottom of the dishwasher, like our current ones, since the newer, big, tall bowls take so much space. I was thrilled to find these attractive, perfectly sized bowls, and bought 4 a couple of weeks ago, before I made the plunge for a whole set of dishes. Yesterday, my husband took some out of the dishwasher, pulling out 2-3 bowls at a time, like he always has, and one of the bowls chipped on the rim. We are very disappointed that these bowls seem to be so much more fragile than the ones we currently have. We may be moving on to try the far more boring Fiesta bowls after all... Sigh. March 8, 2015

About the Rock Hall's Beatles Exhibit:
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's first redesign in its 15-year history is complete and includes several vibrant new exhibit spaces, state-of-the-art interactive technology and lighting, improved way-finding and hundreds of new artifacts, including the most comprehensive collection of Beatles' items; a number of which are on display to the public for the first time in the Museum's Main Exhibit Hall.
The exhibit includes nearly 70 artifacts, including a few that have not been exhibited before:
- George Harrison's striped suit from the 1966 US tour
- Ringo Starr's red military-style jacket from the "Strawberry Fields Forever" promo film
- John Lennon's black wool coat worn in Help!
- Paul McCartney's handwritten arrangement for "Birthday"
Additional highlights include:
- John Lennon's Gibson J-160E acoustic guitar. Lennon used this guitar to record "Norwegian Wood" and "Give Peace a Chance" and numerous other classics.
- George Harrison's Rickenbacker 425 electric guitar. Harrison purchased the guitar in 1963 on his first visit to the U.S. He played it throughout the fall of 1963.
- A page from Stuart Sutcliffe's sketch pad that shows his self-portraits, his illustration of John Lennon and Lennon's illustration of Sutcliffe.
The impact of the Beatles has often been noted but cannot be overstated. The "Fab Four" from Liverpool, England, startled the ears and energized the lives of virtually all who heard them. Their arrival triggered the musical revolution of the Sixties, introducing a modern sound and viewpoint that parted ways with the world of the previous decade. In a career that lasted less than a decade, the Beatles changed the course of rock and roll and popular music. After launching the British Invasion of the United Stated and scoring 20 Number One hits, the Beatles went on to indulge their creative energies in the studio, layering sounds and crafting songs in a way that was experimental yet still accessible. This retreat from the ceaseless mayhem of pop celebrity yielded such musically expansive and lyrically sophisticated albums as Rubber Soul (1965) and Revolver (1966). The group retired from touring in August 1966, and 10 months later, they released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, an album that has almost universally been cited as the creative apotheosis of rock and roll, a watershed event in which rock became "serious art" without losing its sense of humor. The group continued to break new ground with the White Album and Abbey Road before calling it quits in 1970. All of the band members went on to successful solo careers. The Beatles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

Is time never on your side? You're wasting too much of it by not giving it to others.
It sounds kind of weird, but people who volunteer—even in small amounts—feel more effective with their time, according to a new study out of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, LiveScience reports.
"Giving time makes people feel like they have more time," lead researcher Cassie Mogilner told the website. And it doesn't take a huge commitment to boost your sense of efficiency. "Carve out 10 to 15 minutes a day to do something for someone else," Mogilner added.
Heck, certainly we can all make time for that.

I went to Manhattan this weekend to watch the basketball game and had a great time even though we got pounded on the court. We met some very hospitable KSU students who let us tag along with them at the game (4 ISU students with red shirts sitting in the KSU student section). They even invited us to party with them at their house and let us crash there for the night.
One of my friends went to a bar in Aggieville called Rusty's. He was having a good time. He said there were a lot of KSU football and basketball players there as well (including Andre Gilbert and Michael Beasley). It turns out that a cat-fight broke out between two girls, whom apparently were both flirting with the KSU athletes. A male friend of one of the girls comes over to defend her and Andre Gilbert flipped his lid. Both start yelling smack talk at each other and Gilbert threatens to beat the other guy up. By this point everyone is advising this guy to leave before Gilbert beats him up. The bouncers escort the girls out of the bar. Eventually the guy decides to leave and Gilbert chases after him and beats up this guy (not sure if it was inside or outside). Then Gilbert takes off before anyone could catch him. My friend watched this happen and talked to the victim who had a severely broken nose. Apparently the victim's mother is the DA for the area and claims that there is no way Gilbert will get away with it.
My friend told me this story several different times and it matches up every time and I don't have any reason to doubt that this actually happened. I have looked on the internet for any news concerning the encounter but haven't really found anything yet. I did learn that Andre Gilbert was once indicted for one count of first-degree burglary and two counts of second-degree rape while he was at South Dakota State University but was later acquitted.
What is it with athletes and bar fights??? If I were a coach, I would have a hard time keeping myself from telling them college bars are off limits.
If everyone in the story is telling the truth I would be very surprised if Andre Gilbert isn't charged and convicted of assault. Time will tell if anything comes of it...
Can underage people be in bars in Kansas?
Doesn't seem like the story is credible to me.

Yeah, because no underage athlete gets let into bars they shouldn't be in.
See also: Jason Berryman.
have you ever got caught outside In a strong rainfall? Yes or NO. If it"s yes, then you might half felt the pane of hard(tought) rain on you head. If it hurt"s then it"s tough. Yes or no. Okay I'm right and you know it.
So alothough you attempt"ed to say you didn"t understnad, now you do. Fair enough?
True, but I always take what people see at a bar with a grain of salt, since their vision and memory might be slightly impaired
the bar age in manhattan is 19 just like iowa city

I doubt it. Remember KSU is a school that will do anything to win so even if he gets charged he will probaly still play.
The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have--and that is a moral problem, not an economic one. - Paul Heyne
Fights are stupid. I hope if its true he gets what is right for punishment.
In the same weekend...a Mizzu player ends up with a late-night broken jaw and a KSU player beats up someone.
Way to go, Big 12 hoops!
Stephon from Mizzou received the worst of the two now, but the KSU fellow will pay in the long term.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
I went looking to see if anything was on the KSU boards - nothing. But...read this thread on what's probably the worst message board ever...
Hannah in hospital after bar fight... (ksufans.com)
Man...I can't wait until they catch wind of their player getting in trouble. Karma can be a real pain in the butt. :)

And this is why K-State is my least favorite team in the Big 12.
I hope KU beats them by 40.
To quote Johnny Orr:
"Nothing good every happens after midnight"
That site is pathetic, KSU fans are wow, how could you say that much bad stuff in one topic?
That KSU-KU rivalry must be a bad one. I lived in Kansas for 5 years and never thought it was that bad, but man some of those posts. They make the Iowa-ISU rivalry look very calm.

ZF-5156: Custom pagesize results in fatal error
I tried to create a PDF with custom size and checked out what format my notation should be. According to the constants and the descriptions I could find i is "x:y" and so I did:
$objPage = new Zend_Pdf_Page('100:100');
this resulted in a fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Pdf_Exception' with message 'Wrong pagesize notation.'.
And it goes wrong in this piece of code on line 303 of Zend/Pdf/Page.php :
$pageDim = explode(':', $param1); if(count($pageDim) == 3) { $pageWidth = $pageDim[0]; $pageHeight = $pageDim[1]; }
the count is expected to be 3, but this should be 2 ofcourse.
A little update
{notation} const SIZE_A4 = '595:842:'; const SIZE_A4_LANDSCAPE = '842:595:'; {notation}
these constants do have the notation "x:y:" instead of the asked "x:y" notation at line 299:
{notation} switch (strtolower($param1)) { case 'a4': $param1 = Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4; break; <--> default: // should be in "x:y" form } {notation}
So the comment should be changed to be "x:y:" or the count should be set to 2 (and then the constants need to be changed).
As the bug reporter said in the comment above, the right syntax is "x:y:". So the code should be:
$objPage = new Zend_Pdf_Page('100:100:');
So this item can be closed since it is not a bug.
Not a bug indeed but still the comment needs to be updated.
from: // should be in "x:y" form to: // should be in "x:y:" form
R Slootjes: is this patch what you are looking for?
Both forms are supported now.

This Week for the Tigers:
• Coming off consecutive losses the Princeton women's basketball team (2-3) will look to bounce back in the Pacific Northwest this weekend to open a four-game road swing.
• The Tigers open their post-Thanksgiving West Coast trip at Portland State on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 3 p.m. ET, followed by a meeting with Oregon the next day in another 3 p.m. ET. contest.
Last Time Out:
• Despite shooting over 50 percent from the field for much of the contest and finishing at 47.9 (23-for-48), fouling and turnovers proved to be decisive factors in Tigers' 74-65 loss to St. Joseph's on Nov. 26.
• Princeton opened with a 4-0 run and would come within a point, 39-38, just before halftime, but was unable to find a way to pull ahead in the second half.
• The Hawks went 19-for-23 from the stripe, while forcing 17 Tiger turnovers which they converted into another 19 points.
• Princeton was also held to nine second chance points off seven offensive boards, as SJU held a slight 35-32 rebounding margin.
On Deck:
• Princeton's road swing takes it back to the East Coast for a Friday, Dec. 6 meeting at Navy and a Wednesday, Dec. 11 contest at Binghamton.
• The Tigers finally return home for a two-game homestand versus Delaware (Dec. 15) and Illinois State (Dec. 18) before a brief holiday break.

• The squad earned the first-ever national ranking at No. 24 in the 2012 final AP Top 25 Poll and is the first team to advance to four consecutive NCAA tournaments.
One of the Ivy's Best:

Multi-instrumentalist Paa Kow, founder of the By All Means Band, grew up in Ghana and learned that concept, as well as the basics of music, while he was a child.
"We as children were taught how to make music with our feet, our hands and our mouths and how to put all of those sounds together," Paa Kow said during an telephone interview from his home in Boulder, Colo. "We learned what the deep fundamentals are about music through its rhythm and beat."
That opened his mind to a more esoteric concept.
"I found that music is something too big to describe," he said. "It's a thing that you play, but don't see, but when you play the right notes, it's cool how everything comes together. It comes out in a natural way and you can gather some people around to make music."
Paa Kow will share his music when his By All Means Band performs a free concert for Mountain Town Music's Winter Wonderjam at Park City Live, 427 Main St., on Friday, Dec. 7.
Park City Live is donating the venue and incurring all the costs to present the show free to the community as a support for MTM's Music in Schools program, which gives children in Park City and Summit County schools the opportunity to develop the appreciation of music as an art form.
The day of the Park City Live concert, Paa Kow and his band will give two assemblies for all the students at McPolin Elementary.
School performances are important to Paa Kow, because they not only allow him to share his music, but also his culture.
"It's important for me to play schools because it educates the students in a natural way," he said. "When I do school programs, I teach my music, but I don't bring a book and I don't show the students the notes.
"I don't do it that way because, for me, I started playing music in a natural way," he said. "I started playing music because I had to have music in my life, no matter how I made it."
Music must come from within, Paa Kow said.
"I have seen some musicians go to school and graduate with music degrees, but don't know how to keep a beat or rhythm," he said. "That's important to know. You can play but if you don't have the basic rhythm from the bottom, you can't learn music naturally."
When the By All Means Band performs in schools and other live settings, Paa Kow sings in both English and his own language.
"I do that to show that even when people don't understand me, if I play the music right, they will still hear and feel the energy and get what I'm doing," he said. "That brings me confidence. When you see their faces get happy, I want to perform for them more."
The By All Means Band, which has released a new CD, "Hand Go Hand Come," play a form of music call West African Highlife, which originated in the early 1920s and is usually played with horns, percussion and guitar, according to Sonny Otis' 2009 book "Highlife Music in West Africa."
Some of the genre's basic rhythms can be found in the up-tempo music of Danny Elfman's now-defunct band Oingo Boingo, but most of the people in the United States haven't heard the highlife sound, except in small pockets of the country.
The first time Paa Kow came to the U.S. was as a guest artist for Colorado University's West African Highlife Ensemble concert.
"I moved back to Colorado after that in 2007," he said. "When I was here, I saw that the kind of music I wanted to play really isn't played here. So, I thought that I should bring my traditional music and mix it with jazz and stuff, to make something unique and something I would like to do.
"The United States is a big and good place to share my music with those people who haven't heard it before," he said. "I thought it would help further my music career, because there is a lot of opportunity here to play. And through my music I could share my culture."
Paa Kow's By All Means Band will play a free concert at Park City Live, 427 Main St., on Friday, Dec. 7, at 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.parkcitylive.net and www.byallmeansband.com.

New life for NSB's Marvin Harvey Tourney
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 9:05 p.m.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH — For many years, the Marvin Harvey Scholarship Tournament was a must-play event in New Smyrna Beach. A foursome of NSB natives, including two former recipients of the tournament's scholarship honors, are combining their efforts to return "The Marvin" to its past glory.
Tournament Info
WHAT: Marvin Harvey Scholarship Tournament
WHEN: Saturday, May 4, 8:30 a.m. shotgun start
WHERE: New Smyrna Beach Municipal Golf Course
CAUSE: Proceeds from the tournament provide scholarship money for one college-bound boy and girl from NSB High
FORMAT: Four-player scramble
COST: $100 per player, includes Friday night cocktail party and post-tournament lunch. Hole sponsorships are also available.
MORE INFORMATION: NSB Golf Course, 386-424-2190
"We're hoping to bring back this event that used to bring in thousands of dollars for a fantastic cause and was a premier golf event in Volusia County," said Johnny Thompson, a 1997 NSB High grad who used Marvin Harvey scholarship money during his college golf career at North Florida.
Thompson joins Brian Perry, Brad Schwartz and Jason Hickman — also former NSB High golfers who went on to play collegiately — in promoting this year's event, scheduled for May 4 at its traditional home, New Smyrna Beach's municipal course.
The tournament's namesake was the longtime owner and operator of the city's 18-hole layout through the 1960s, '70s and '80s, and was renowned for his generosity toward kids with golf bags slung over their shoulders. Harvey died in 1989 and the tournament began the next year.
"I can still picture Marvin at the course, doing something to help some kid who was there to play golf," said Rod Perry, brother of Brian and a longtime PGA professional.
"Marvin has impacted all four of our lives in a big way so we were eager to help," said Thompson, who works as a manufacturer representative on the PGA Tour.
As it did from its outset, the Marvin Harvey Tournament will benefit a college-bound boy and girl from NSB High School.
Thompson, Schwartz, Hickman and Brian Perry were part of NSB High teams that finished top-three in the state tournament in back-to-back years — 1996-97. All four played college golf, and Perry currently teaches at NSB High and coaches the boys golf team.
The four-player scramble event will be preceded by a Friday night gathering at Barracudas restaurant. Post-tournament festivities will include a lunch at the course's Tianos Italian Restaurant.
The wide range of tournament prizes includes Tour memorabilia, rounds at Bay Hill and Champions Gate (and other courses), and golf equipment.

- What is our baseline cost for IT? Are we efficient?
- Are we getting a good deal for equipment and services?
- Are end users satisfied with the quality of technology tools and levels of service?
- Does it make sense to outsource?
- Is the IT organization aligned with the business goals?
- Is there a positive ROI for the investment in IT?
- Are we properly staffed and does our staff have the right skills?

The usefulness of any benchmarking engagement hinges on the ability to make in-depth cost comparisons with the most current, objective and relevant data. Typical engagements benchmark against top level costs for "hardware" or "personnel" for example. However, this rarely reveals the underlying reasons for a benchmark result or gives any meaningful indication about where an organization should focus improvement efforts.
With VMware Benchmark data, you get access to the most current and comprehensive benchmarking data available including:
- More than 3,500 comparative benchmark measurements across 20 industries, 18 towers and 4 geographies
- Between 200-600 peers per tower and growing
- In-depth metrics to drill down to provide better visibility into the true cost drivers and where to focus efforts
- Data sets which are no more than 18 months old

Superior Peer Selection Drives Greater Relevance
The VMware Automated Analysis Engine has the unique capability of identifying peers that closely match your unique footprint. These functional peers are critical because they provide apples-to-apples comparisons that are unmatched by traditional, manual benchmarking. IT Benchmarking includes a comprehensive peer selection methodology that:
- Automatically selects both industry and functional peers to create the most complete, unbiased comparisons for both your environment and your industry
- Identifies a minimum number of peers to drive a statistically valid comparison
- Ensures the integrity of your results through objective and anonymous peer selection
- Treats each tower as completely independent with tower-specific peer groups

Get the Insights You Need Now, Not Next Quarter
Typical benchmarks can take from several weeks to many months to complete, taking into account both client and analyst constraints. VMware provides clients the flexibility to control the data entry and analysis timeliness. There is no analyst to submit data to, no waiting for feedback or reports and no waiting to get on a tight schedule. Once data is collected, the final reports can be generated within minutes.
Eliminate Subjectivity with a Structured, Automated Process
The traditional benchmarking process is complex, with the process often subject to the whims of analysts. IT Benchmarking is a carefully structured, automated process where client information is collected, analyzed and presented in the exact same manner each and every time. This eliminates many of the issues and challenges associated with the subjectivity in traditional benchmarking. Every client benefits from exactly the same high quality analysis and reporting, without the individual interpretations that are common in the benchmarking industry.
