Parkers Executive Chauffeurs Awarded for Customer Service
Tuesday, January 28, 2014 Industry News, International No comments
Parkers Executive Chauffeurs, a livery company based in the North East of England whose environmental initiatives caught our attention earlier this year (see International Connections in our June 2013 issue), has received recognition for its exceptional customer service. The company was awarded with Professional Driver magazine's 2013 Chauffeur Company of the Year Award, which they recently accepted at a ceremony in London.
Professional Driver's inaugural QSi Awards ceremony was held at London's Effingham Park Hotel, where over 300 people convened to celebrate chauffeur and private hire operators demonstrating "excellent standards of quality, service and innovation." Open to every chauffeur and private hire company in the United Kingdom, the QSi Awards proved to be a resounding success in its first run, distributing a total of 34 trophies to companies, drivers and vehicles. Nominees were divided among ten categories, and winners were selected by an independent panel, which included category experts and members of the Professional Driver editorial team.
Parkers Executive won the Small Operator Gold Award for companies with ten or fewer vehicles, for having "applied extremely high standards in a major city where quality chauffeur services were thin on the ground, despite a high concentration of large businesses." The 11 year old company has experienced substantial growth and expansion in 2013, including the addition of a satellite office at Teesside Airport. Striving to provide an unrivaled customer service experience for its passengers since the company's inception, Parker's father-son management team—Brian and Simon Rudd—now count amongst their customers many corporate and government clients, as well as airlines and clients from the entertainment industry.
Parkers Executive also continually innovates within the industry, having recently announced a national affiliate network, and earlier this year the company made news as the first in its region to go green by purchasing carbon credits from a new government program called the Woodland Carbon Code in an effort to offset its fleet's CO2 emissions. In addition to becoming the North East region of England's first transportation company to participate in the carbon credit program, Parkers is also an avid supporter of the United Kingdom's premier annual Low Carbon Vehicle Event, hosted by CENEX, the U.K.'s first center of excellence for low carbon and fuel cell technologies.

Lehigh's C.J. McCollum was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers at No. 10 overall in the NBA Draft on Thursday.
June 27, 2013
BROOKLYN, N.Y. - A historic night for Patriot League men's basketball lived up to its billing as Lehigh's C.J. McCollum and Bucknell's Mike Muscala were each selected in the NBA Draft on Thursday at the Barclays Center.
McCollum was picked in the lottery, going No. 10 overall to the Portland Trail Blazers. Muscala heard his name called a few hours later when he was selected in the second round at No. 44 by the Dallas Mavericks, though the pick was later traded to the Atlanta Hawks.
"The love and support from Lehigh is great," McCollum told LehighSports.com after his selection. "We've never had an NBA player before. The second player drafted from the Patriot League. This is a blessing to be in a position where I can represent my home state, my city, Lehigh and my family."
He added, ""You have to prove yourself night in and night out. That's something I pride myself in. My family and I will take it all in tonight, but tomorrow is back to work, back to business. I'll have to turn the page, get ready for summer league, get ready for the next step and the challenge of playing in the NBA."
McCollum and Muscala became the second and third players ever drafted out of the Patriot League. Prior to Thursday's draft, the only other selection had been Colgate's Adonal Foyle (1994-97), who was picked in the first round, eighth overall, by the Golden State Warriors in 1997.
Foyle went on to have a 12-year NBA career while playing mainly for Golden State (1997-07) and Orlando (2007-09). The only former Patriot Leaguer to play in the NBA, Foyle averaged 4.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks while playing 733 games over the course of his career.
McCollum was enjoying a fine senior season in 2012-13 before a foot injury on Jan. 5 at VCU ended his campaign. At the time of his injury, the senior guard was second in the country with 23.9 points per game in 12 contests. He became the Patriot League's all-time leading scorer on Nov. 25, and his total of 2,361 points is 137 ahead of second place even with the time missed. McCollum also finished fifth in League history with 230 steals.
McCollum was named Patriot League Player of the Year as a freshman in 2010, when he became the only honoree of both the Player and Rookie of the Year awards in the same season. He was again named Patriot League Player of the Year in 2012, and led Lehigh to the Patriot League title each year. He also helped the Mountain Hawks to one of the biggest upsets in NCAA Tournament history as a junior when Lehigh beat Duke 75-70 in a second-round contest. McCollum's 14 career Anaconda Player of the Week awards are the most in League history.
McCollum graduated from Lehigh with a degree in Journalism in May. He was also honored for his work in the classroom and off the court during his career. McCollum was a Senior CLASS Award first-team All-American in April, and made the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll as a junior.
Muscala became the first student-athlete in Patriot League history to win both the Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards in 2013, and did not stop there. He also received the Patriot League Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, and was named Patriot League Tournament Most Valuable Player for the second time after leading the Bison to the League title. He is one of only two players in League history to earn All-Patriot League honors in each of his four seasons.
Muscala led the Patriot League in points (18.7), rebounds (11.1) and blocks (2.4) in 2012-13. He finished fourth in the nation in rebounding, and set a Patriot League record with 378 boards for the season. His 22 double-doubles led the nation, with three coming during the Patriot League Tournament.
Muscala finishes with top-five marks in three categories in the Patriot League all-time record book. His 1,093 boards are second in League history behind only the 1,103 of Foyle. Muscala finishes his career with 2,036 points, good for fourth place in League annals. He also comes in second place to Foyle with 270 career blocked shots.
Muscala was also a standout in the classroom during his time at Bucknell before graduating with a degree in Management in May. In addition to the Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards, he is one of only two student-athletes to make the Academic All-Patriot League Team in each of its three seasons of existence and also earned a spot on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll in three of his four seasons. Like McCollum, Muscala was a Senior CLASS Award first-team All-American in April after also being named a third-team Capital One Academic All-American during the season.
A rundown of media coverage for both players heading into the draft is available here. Clips will be added in the coming days with reaction to the selections.

Parasitic association of Nanocladius (Diptera : ...
|Parasitic association of Nanocladius (Diptera: Chironomidae) and Pteronarcys biloba (Plecoptera : Pteronarcyidae): insights from stable-isotope analysis
|R. R. Doucett, Donna J. Giberson, G. Power
|Journal of the North American Benthological Society
|Start page
|End page
|Nymphs of Pteronarcys biloba Newman and attached chironomid larvae (Nanocladius [Plecopteracoluthus] undescribed sp, nr. branchicolus) were collected from Catamaran Brook, New Brunswick, in May and November 1997 for stable-carbon- and stable-nitrogen-isotope analysis. Nanocladius (P.) sp. had mean (+/- SD) delta(13)C and delta(15)N values of -27.7 +/- 1.0 parts per thousand and 4.9 +/- 0.6 parts per thousand, respectively, whereas those of P. biloba were -28.4 +/- 1.0 parts per thousand and 1.3 +/- 0.7 parts per thousand, respectively. Nanoclaudius (P.) sp. always had more positive delta(13)C and delta(15)N values than P. biloba, and average fractionation factors (isotope differences between symbiont and host) were +1.2 parts per thousand and +3.5 parts per thousand for carbon and nitrogen, respectively. These results confirm a parasitic relationship between Nanoclaudius (P.) sp, and I! biloba. No statistical differences were found among the delta(13)C values of the plecopteran shredder in 4 stream reaches from headwaters to mouth, and delta(13)C values were similar to those of their expected leaf litter diet. Pteronarcids from the headwater site (Upper Reach) were not parasitized and had distinct delta(15)N values from those at downstream sites. However, stable-isotope ratios of parasitized stoneflies were not significantly different from those of non-parasitized individuals at the 3 other study locations. Nanoclaudius (P.) sp. were more enriched in N-15 than other chironomid genera in Catamaran Brook, including Ablabesmyia, a chironomid with predatory feeding habits, and fell within the range of: other known invertebrate predators. These findings highlight the usefulness of stable-isotope technology to distinguish between phoresy and parasitism in ectosymbiotic relationships among aquatic organisms.

There are cheers of approval from Arsenal fans in the Football Transfer Tavern after a talkSPORT representative popped by to inform punters that Andre Santos could be set to quit his Arsenal hell and move back to Brazil with Gremio.
The hapless left back has been nothing short of appalling when appearing for the Gunners this term and the faith (or lack of) as placed in the Brazilian was illuminated for all to see when Arsene Wenger had to make a last ditch signing Nacho Monreal to cover for the injured Kieran Gibbs.
The Brazilian transfer window is still open until Tuesday where club's can sign players before the forthcoming Copa Libertadores and the publication claim that the Porto Alegre-based side would be interested in offering Santos an escape route out of the Emirates Stadium.
Gremio president Fabio Koff told Brazilian newspaper Zero Hora: "Andre Santos is one of our interests. We talked with Arsenal, but there is nothing certain. It is a very difficult negotiation."
Many Arsenal fans burnt their bridges with the Brazilian following his ludicrous decision to swap shirts with Gunners public enemy number one – Robin van Persie during half time in Arsenal's defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier in the season and Santos had looked like replacing Emmanuel Eboue as the club's jokey cult her, but the only joke has been his reckless defending.
It remains to be seen whether Arsene Wenger will keep Santos as cover for the Champions League tie with Bayern Munich, seen as Nacho Monreal is ineligible having played for Malaga in the earlier stages. Instead the French manager may favour a move to switch the left footed Thomas Vermaelen to full back.
What I want to know is, who or what in the player management and scouting systems
allowed this muppet in. There have been plenty more as well!! Grimandi was a shite
player and looks like scouting too !!
I have supported Arsenal for 35 years and this man is the worst ever left-back I have seen. In terms of defending and attitude Santos is unprofessional and a total liability. Represents all that is wrong at Arsenal and in football generally.

The Best of Philly party was held at the National Constitution Center on Monday, July 28th. Presenting sponsors were Mercedes-Benz, Viking Range Corporation, Peirce-Phelps, Inc., and Fleet Bank. KYW Channel 3 broadcast the fun on live television coverage.
Philadelphia Magazine's Duane Swierczynski recently authored a scholarly tome entitled, The Perfect Drink For Every Occasion. Some helpful selections include, … when you're having just one… when you're having just three… when you're trying to forget your own name… Duane was on hand to sign his new book at Marathon Grill on Wednesday, July 23rd.
Hannah House, a non-profit organization that helps North Philadelphian women break free from the cycle of poverty, drug addiction, and incarceration, held a fundraiser at Lloyd Hall at Boathouse Row on Thursday, July 24th. The theme of the party, "Buenos Noches", meant that cigar smoke and the rhythms of the Cuban band, Conjunto 23, swirled around in the sunshine until after 9pm. If you're so inclined, it's www.hannahhousephilly.org to volunteer.
The Alliance Francaise held a Bastille Day fete at the new National Constitution Center at 6th and Arch Streets on, yes, Bastille Day. Many guests wore red, white, and blue – no stars, just stripes, and sipped 1997 Chateau Lynch-Bages and nibbled at the delightful feast put on by Max and Me caterers. Though it was a Monday night, the continental spirit got people out onto the dance floor, swinging to Eddie Bruce's band, stellar as usual.
Panorama restaurant hosted an informal wine tasting and buffet for their most loyal and longtime patrons. They pulled out all the stops – we're talking about some beautiful, valuable, and hefty wines here! Two long tables were covered with wines; Barolos from the 1960's, Red Burgundy from the 70's and 80's. It was a rare collection of wines that will not likely be seen all in one place again.

The "Real Housewives of New York" appear to be playing the violence cars to get solid ratings. News of the cast members getting into a fight isn't anything new, but it appears that it becomes physical with Aviva Drescher throwing her leg during the season finale. According to FOX news on Monday, viewers will see the cast member throwing her prosthetic leg across a room at a fancy restaurant.
Keeping the season finale quiet, the taping of the incident was finished quite a while ago. The magic of nondisclosure agreements has people keeping silent and most won't discuss the big blow up at the end of the season. With few details to offer, the only thing viewers know for sure (and even saw on video) was a limb being tossed, thrown or somehow moved strangely. This had everyone interested, but more importantly it made people wonder why the show allows the ladies to lash out physically.
Aviva Drescher has definitely been a thorn in the side of many of the cast members. The woman has more than once had viewers shaking their heads. The woman always seems to be in the spotlight for weird things and the idea of throwing a limb seems to fit her perfectly. One of several story lines on the show, Aviva hasn't really offered anything up of interest to the fans this season. She has been there, but the intensity isn't quite the same as other cast members. Unfortunately, Aviva Drescher needs to try something to revive her time on the show. She isn't as interesting as she used to be and people are bored of her antics.
The "Real Housewives of New York" appear to be using the tactics of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta." Wanting to get ratings, the ladies get physical. In the case of "RHOA" is was a physical altercation between cast members. It appears that "RHONY" is looking at a variation of this idea by throwing a prosthetic leg to try to hurt someone.

It may seem obvious but it's worth stating again. The idea that mobile users are going to read lots of user assistance on their devices is just wrong. So, Jakob Nielsen's post Mobile Content Is Twice as Difficult serves as a timely reminder for anyone thinking of putting manuals as a form of user assistance onto mobile phones.
There is also an excellent post on UXMag.com, explaining that one of the ways to screw up with your iPhone app is to throw an old-style user manual into the user experience: 10 Surefire Ways to Screw Up Your iPhone App.
(Image copyright and referenced from UX Magazine 2010)
Instead, user assistance alternatives--if any at all--include one-time tours, graphics, in-context instructions, and so on. Not so sure that importing "humor" and "personality" work so well in the enterprise app space, myself. However, the message is clear:
iPhone users don't read manuals.
Great message. Users will figure it out, and if they can't, well then your app's UX is a problem and the app will fail. Shame some teams are obsessed with figuring out ways to port existing manuals to mobile platforms without any thought for the UX. Razorfish's Scatter/Gather blog says it all:
One thing that is particularly discouraging, most material currently available on "Creating Content for the iPad" or similar themes turns out to be about getting traditional content onto, or into, the iPad.
Now, manuals for non-end users in PDF format on eReaders is a different matter. I have research on that, but it's for another post.

I want to create a page template where the contents of the menu is filtered. Say, on Template 1, I want only the pages/post created by a custom access role areamanager1 to be displayed on the Menu on all the pages that uses the Template 1. And the same goes with Template 2, etc. At first, I thought of creating a separate menu for each template on the widget panel BUT that's not practical for me because it would require the admin to constantly update the menu for each template everytime a new page/post is added. Any ideas on how to implement it? I would really appreciate any help.
Alright, I am thinking if someone knows the dissected version of this function?
<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-6' ) ) : ?><?php endif; // end sidebar widget area ?>
I think that would help a lot. Cause I can edit the database query to display the posts/pages on the menu widget. Thank you.

With a record number of openly GLBT candidates, Sept. 12 offers an exciting primary for Maryland voters. Among these eight candidates is Dr. Dana Beyer, running to be one of suburban District 18's three delegates to the Maryland General Assembly. If she wins her seat, she'll be making history as Maryland's first openly transgender elected official. Worldwide, the club seems even more exclusive with just the tiniest handful of elected transgender officials.
While Lea Gilmore, political/campaign director of the Equality Maryland PAC, says she is particularly excited about Beyer's campaign, she reserves the same enthusiasm for Anthony McCarthy, who is running for delegate from Baltimore's 44th District.
"He's an African-American, gay preacher and journalist," says Gilmore, ticking through McCarthy's attributes. "He was the youngest editor [in chief] of the AFRO-American newspapers here in Maryland. And he's viable. So is Beyer. They both have great chances of winning."
Though she says she's excited about the 70-plus candidates Equality Maryland has endorsed for the 2006 elections, Gilmore says she's concentrating primarily one of their endorsed straight candidates. Mayor Martin O'Malley (D) of Baltimore City is, after all, running for the state's top office.
"We're really looking forward to the gubernatorial race, because that determines the tone of the state," Gilmore says. "We're looking forward to supporting O'Malley. We believe the [Gov. Bob Ehrlich] administration is not always a friend to the [GLBT] community."
Last year, for example, Ehrlich (R) vetoed legislation that would've created a statewide registry with limited benefits for unmarried couples.
Information on Equality Maryland and the state's primary election can be found at www.equalitymaryland.org.
Though Gilmore is focused on the November battle for the governor's mansion, she seems excited that the Sept. 12 may give her a boost of good news along the way.
"It's an exciting season, with a viable transgender candidate and the most LGBT candidates ever," she says. "It's an exciting time, an important time. We want to make sure we have as many equality minded legislators as possible. We are confident we will. We're going to do our darnedest."

So you've got a great new business idea—one you're sure will make money right from the day you launch. Your company will be as innovative as Facebook. Your product will be in bigger demand than the iPad 3. You can already see yourself on the cover of Inc. magazine and picking out a new Mercedes at the dealership.
Slow down, not so fast. Before you dive headlong into this great new venture, here's what you need to do to determine if your dream business can really fly–or if you just have your head in the clouds.
Figure out what you're doing. What exactly will your business do, make and sell? Think through all the steps involved. How will you get your product or service to the end-user? Will it be sold in retail stores, sold online, provided personally by you in one-on-one relationships with customers or wholesaled to huge global chains?
Figure out who your competition is. Even if you think your idea is groundbreaking, you have some type of competition. The inventor of the printing press was "competing" with people who told stories and passed down knowledge orally. The inventor of the fax was competing with the Postal Service. You get the idea. Who's your competitor? What do they offer? How much do they charge? What can you do differently (and better)?
Figure out the overhead. Will you need employees? An office? A store? How about pizza ovens, delivery trucks or computers? How much rent can you expect to pay? Will you need employees? Add up your overhead—the day-to-day costs of things like rent, electricity and insurance. How can you keep it down?
Figure out how much money you can make. How much can you sell your product or service for? How much does it cost to make, buy, store or ship? What's left over and how much of that goes to overhead? What's your profit?
Figure out your profits. If you're lucky your business has low startup costs and high profit potential. If you're unlucky, it's got high startup costs and low profit potential. That's when you need to start over. How can you lower your startup costs? How can you increase your profit potential? Ideally, how can you do both?
Figure out how to pay for it. Once you've got your business idea where you want it, you need to know where the startup money's coming from. If you can't finance your startup on your own, maybe friends or family can help. If you need to look beyond that circle, banks, credit unions or private angel investors could all be options. Think creatively and consider partnering with companies that have what you lack or bartering your products or services for what you need.
Overwhelmed? Don't be. There are plenty of places to get help. Your local SBDC can provide free advice and guidance. The SCORE website has tons of tools and templates you can use to figure out the answers to your questions, plus free counseling to guide you. Run the numbers…and figure out if your dream is in reach. Good luck!

Computer, Payload and General-Purpose, GRID, Shuttle
The Payload and General Purpose Computer is modified version of a commercial laptop computer and is one of the first of many laptops that have been used by Shuttle astronauts for a variety of mission duties. The computer, manufactured by Grid Systems, Inc., was chosen because of its durable metal case and because its memory did not use a rotating disk, which at that time was considered prone to mechanical failure. Modifications were made to adapt it for use in space by SAI Technology, a division of SAIC. NASA and other contractors also developed custom software for the device.
This laptop flew on Shuttle mission STS-56, in April 1993. NASA transferred this computer to the Museum in 1998.

I live in South Florida. My home is a one level, 2400-sq ft, u-shaped with bedrooms on one side and kitchen/laundry on the other side. I have a consistent odor but it's not constant. It comes and goes and is isolated to the kitchen area. My laundry room is adjacent to the kitchen, so my wife seems to think that the odor is more prevalent when she does laundry. I haven't made that connection. I have called in several plumbers for their thoughts and nothing was resolved. One plumber found a small leaky pipe under the sink and repaired it, but that was not the solution. Is there a specialist in "odor detection" who could diagnose the problem?
Don't underestimate the detection abilities of your nose! Get on your hands and knees, and stick your nose right into every nook and cranny. Closing your eyes will help make your nose seem more sensitive. Smell along edges, cracks, baseboards, pipe cutouts, switch plates, jambs, sills, light fixtures, drains, and anywhere there's a gap or mating of any kind. Pull out the frig, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, or remove their base plates and check underneath with a flashlight. Check the washer drain hose and drain pipe. Pull out all drawers in case something fell inside the cabinets. Don't forget outside walls too. Check any attic or basement or crawlspace. Cover every inch, and sooner or later you'll zero in on where the smell is definitely strongest. The source can't be far away.

Iraqi Officials: Blackwater Shootings Deliberate
The Iraqi prime minister's office over the weekend said an initial investigation concludes that Blackwater USA contractors "deliberately killed" 17 civilians, although U.S. and Iraqi officials are reportedly working on a joint investigation into the Sept. 16 shooting.
The Iraqi government is demanding that Blackwater pay $8 million in compensation to families of the slain civilians.
Ali al-Dabbagh, spokesman for the government of Iraq, talks with Michele Norris.

College Hockey:AWCHA Announces 4-team D-III Women's Field
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Middlebury, St. Mary's, Gustavus Adolphus and Williams have been selected by USA Hockey to participate in the American Women's College Hockey Alliance Division III National Championship, to be held March 9-10 in Rochester, N.Y.
This tournament marks the fourth year of the AWCHA National Championship, and the second-ever for Division III. This year, the NCAA will host its first official Women's Ice Hockey Division I National Championship, with plans to add the Division III National Championship to its docket in 2002.
Middlebury earned the first seed in the championship as the ECAC-III regular-season and playoff champion, finishing with an overall record of 21-1-1. The No. 1-ranked Panthers claimed the first-ever AWCHA Division III title last year in Boston by sweeping Augsburg, 5-1 and 8-1.
Gustavus Adolphus will enter the tournament as the second seed after claiming both the regular-season and playoff crowns in the MIAC, and posting an overall record of 22-5-1.
Williams, which defeated Manhattanville, 3-2, in overtime before dropping a 3-0 decision to Middlebury in the ECAC-III playoffs, was selected as the No. 3 seed. The Williams Ephs enter the championship holding a 20-4-1 overall record.
St. Mary's University rounds out the competition, coming into the postseason 21-6-1 after losing, 4-2, and tying, 1-1, against Gustavus in the MIAC playoffs.
The championship will take place at the ESL Sports Centre in Rochester, N.Y. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students for a single-day pass, $12/$8 for an all-events pass. Children five and under are admitted free. For ticket information, please contact the ESL Sports Centre at (716) 424-4625.
The New York State Amateur Hockey Association and the Rochester Girls' Hockey Association will provide event support and volunteers to staff the championship.
The AWCHA is a program of USA Hockey funded through the United States Olympic Committee/NCAA Grant Program. The purpose of the AWCHA is to organize and develop activities with women's intercollegiate varsity ice hockey teams to nationally promote the development and sponsorship of women's ice hockey at all NCAA levels throughout the United States.

Students Enjoy a Prom Night of Crepes and Dancing
April 7, 2014
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Last Friday night, groups of students arrived at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco for a Midnight in Paris Prom.
Photographs by Jackson Williams Media. For more photos, click here.
Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.
Those expecting a mock Eiffel tower to set the romantic scene were disappointed, but the lack of decorations was bettered by the abundance of French cuisine consisting of crepes filled with a choice of nutella, banana, strawberries, marshmallows, chocolate, and whipped cream.
It was an alternate universe full of gentleman sporting tuxes, and ladies in long gowns or short party dresses, rather then the leggings and jeans students had been wearing at school for the minimum day.
DJ J. Espinosa from Wild 94.9 played satisfying music as the spacious dance floor was slowly filled by arriving students. By 10:00 a group resembling a mosh pit formed near the front of the stage and the rest of the floor was mostly full.
While the music was enjoyable, the real thrill were the light up glow sticks that he tossed into the crowd. There was some confusion over how to identify the glowing objects and there were a variety of names circulated including "big plastic stick with glowing lights" or "big glow stick" in addition to a few other inappropriate names. Espinosa also misted the crowd with a large black hose with what seemed to be filled with a harmless type of smoke or fog, leaving a cloud on stage surrounding his table and students near the front of the stage.
Throughout the night, students took seats on the edge of the dance floor at tables or upstairs in comfy theater seats. There were drink and crepe stations on both floors, but people were more often seen on the upper level enjoying food while looking at the dancers below.
Towards the end of the night, prom king and queen were announced and Russell Bernardo and Danielle Walsh went up on stage to receive their crowns.
Prom night can be a stressful event to plan. With so many expectations and so much hype hype built up before hand, it is hard for prom to live up to the name. However, leadership did a great job creating an atmosphere and picking a venue that gave the night a fun and elegant feel. Adding dessert to the night was a creative and tasty decision. Overall it seemed that people left feeling content and satisfied with their night of dancing and crepes.

There was a time where it seemed like developers weren't interested in making platform games for iOS devices, or the ones that were available weren't that great. Now we're not only seeing a steady influx in this genre, but many of them are of a quality that's on par with or even surpasses console games. Such is the case with JAZZ: Trump's journey. Not only is it graphically in line with many console favorites, but the level design is quite intriguing and the difficulty makes me think the developers might have been Mega Man fans! Overall the game has been quite entertaining so far. Continue reading…
In show business there's an old saying that goes (if you haven't guessed already) "The Show Must Go On". That's exactly what this game is all about. You'll visit several different operas, each of which is having trouble in five different areas. Through a corresponding number of mini-games you'll hopefully solve the opera's problems so they can continue with the show. Of course how well each performance goes depends entirely upon your skill at each of the mini-games. Will the crowd give a standing ovation or will the actors fall flat on their faces?
I'm always on the lookout for the perfect scrolling shooter and I'm beginning to think such a beast doesn't exist. Fortunately, while not as a whole unblemished, RayForce has many of the qualities I'd expect in my ideal candidate. On the other hand, it has a couple of big discretions that actually push it back below some of my favorite iOS jaunts. So enough with the opening paragraph rhetoric already, let's find out what this game is all about!
Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War Of The Worlds: Minigame Adventure in Review – Isn't That A Long Title?
The War Of The Worlds is one of those properties that in my opinion has never really been used to its full potential, except for possibly the radio broadcast that scared a nation in 1938. I must admit that I never would have dreamed of anyone turning the saga into a musical, however, let alone making a mini-game extravaganza out of said musical. Sadly, the concept is much better than the execution and little things like interface inconsistencies and constant crashing make the game not very much fun to play. Boring mini-games don't help either.
There's no question Super Crate Box is a silly game. You basically run around one of three levels collecting crates and killing monsters to stay alive. It's like a side view FPS with no fancy graphics and no point. The funny thing is that it is also one of the most addictive games I've played in quite a while, and that says a lot since I've spent almost every day for the past week playing Treasures of Montezuma 3. There's something about the simplicity of the game combined with the retro pixel graphics that to me makes it a whole lot more interesting than the previously released Muffin Knight, a game clearly inspired by this one. All I know is I'm glad to be part of the crate collecting revolution.
Superman, while not the first superhero ever, is arguably the most well-known and iconic one. Created back in the 30's he was instrumental to establishing the superhero genre. On the iOS however, Superman came quite late in the game long after Chillingo's The Hero (TMA Review) showed its tight-fitting brightly coloured behind on the App Store. It's time to see how the legendary "man of steel" holds up to the older and more satirical rival.
Blobster Christmas is the story of a boy and his blob… oh wait, that's a different game. Blobster Christmas is the tale of a gelatinous mass that overruns a city… no, that's a cheesy old movie that was remade into a worse movie in the 80's. Actually, Blobster Christmas is the seasonal version of a cool little platform game from Chillingo that I reviewed some time ago (for a different site, but we won't tell). You can check out that review here, and you probably should because it sums up this new game quite well.
Judging by the iTunes description for Act of Fury I had a feeling it was going to be something different, and boy was I right. It's a scrolling shooter.. kind of. The thing is, while it looks the part and controls like one, you don't actually shoot anything. Instead, you use the powers imbued in you by a failed experiment in order to destroy things that you get close to. Between the unique game play mechanic, the variable upgrade system and the need to revisit old levels in order to progress further in the game, Act Of Fury takes scrolling shooters in a direction that I rather like.
I never thought I'd care much for games about growing plants, but like a lot of other things iOS devices have convinced me that such endeavors aren't so bad. The latest such game to catch me attention is Drawin' Growin' by Taito, and this game is certainly different than the others I've played. Your task is "simply" to make sure the plants get the right amount of water or sunlight, depending on the color of their pots. However, your job is not as placid as it seems. Many things will get in the way of your success, and how well and quickly you deal with them will determine your ultimate rewards. There are times where the action can get a little overwhelming, but for the most part so far it's been a pretty relaxed and interesting adventure.
Long before there were glorious multi-screen scrolling shooters, games like Space Invaders and Asteroids blazed a trail of their own by making single screen shooters with simple mechanics addictive. From time to time modern developers have tried to recapture that magic with varying degrees of success, but for me none have really done the concept justice. That is, of course, until Super Crossfire HD came around. The mechanics and visuals are old school, but things like particle effects and adjustable stats give it a modern flare. Even if you resigned yourself to believing that there is no going back once you tasted the "freedom" of a scrolling shooter, you need to give this one screen wonder a try.

Ivy Champion Men's Swimming Sends Super Six To 2013 NCAA Championships
Sophomore Harrison Wagner and freshman Byron Sanborn were both invited to the 2013 NCAA Men's Swimming & Diving Championships, held March 28-30 in Indianapolis. They won't be alone, though, as both the 200 medley and 400 free relays achieved 'A' cuts during Princeton's thrilling run to its fifth straight Ivy League championship last weekend.
Furthermore, both the 800 free relay and the 400 medley relay achieved the qualifying 'B' cuts, so both will also be competing in Indiana.
Wagner, the Ivy League champion in the 50, is currently ranked 19th nationally in that event with a time of 19.58. He is also eligible to swim in the 100 free, where he currently ranks 50th in 43.66, though he will undoubtedly be a critical piece to several Princeton relays. Wagner's performances in the Ivy League relays were among the top highlights in a weekend filled with championship efforts by Princeton when it rallied past Harvard to win the 2013 Ivy title.
While that title was Wagner's second, it was the first for Sanborn and the rest of the talented Class of 2016. Sanborn currently ranks 24th in the 200 breast in 1:55.58, and there are only three freshmen nationally who have faster times this season. He is also eligible to compete in the 100 breast, where he is 40th in a time of 53.94.

French Food Minister Visits New York, Discovers the Spork
"I believe that we can learn a lot from one another."
Frenchman Guillaume Garot spent yesterday afternoon visiting Queens College School for Math Science and Technology to sample the new, healthy lunches. The school's taking part in an international dietary and culinary exchange, and served Garot barbecue chicken and plantains. "C'est très bon," he said of the meal, but what really impressed him was the discovery of the spoon-fork hybrid. "I believe that we can learn a lot from one another," he said. Prepare for global spork domination. [DNAinfo]

The sports yakkers and several other local writers think that Ted Ginn *should* start this weekend, because with Henne they can actually explore how to get him open down the field and use his speed - something that they weren't able to do with Pennington's "weaker" arm.
And Sparano has not committed to anything at this point, but his recent comments suggest he's going to do just that.
First off, allow me to remind you that Pennington's arm wasn't good for throwing longer passes - say over 20-25 yards. But he was good at throwing short to intermediate routes, and tried on many occasions to do just that to Ginn, but he didn't come up with the catch.
Henne can indeed throw it longer by around 10-15 yards, but that doesn't mean that Ginn will have any advantage. Sure, he might get further up the field, but that doesn't necessarily give him a chance to catch it. Plus, because Henne is new, it seems unlikely they'll have him let it fly down the field.
We'll see, but I think the better option is to bench him.
BTW - this is not all Ginn's fault. I'm not pinning 0-3 on him. But, in looking for options, this is certainly one thing they could do to improve the team.

It's probably not an accident that the "Poetic Justice" character Chicago (played by Joe Torry) was constantly brushing his hair. Chicago men love their waves, and M&M products like Easy Wave™ promise just that.
Will Williams, a 30-year master barber and master colorist, is the Director of Education and New Product Development for M&M Products. A championship winning barber with awards like the Bronner Brothers Men's Total Fashion and Men's Haircutting for three years, he got his first barber license in 1967 and first cosmetologist license in 1974. Williams took time to speak with the Chicago Black Hair & Health Examiner before his upcoming weekend visit to Chicago.
Shamontiel: With your Sofn'free products, those products include milk, protein and olive oil. It seems like your products focus on dry hair or eliminating dry hair. With your Easy Wave products, you use products like tea tree oil, carrot oil and pomade. What made you decide to go with those products in particular?
Will Williams: These products have a very long history and heritage not only in our company but just in the men's grooming market in general. We had just one variation originally. It was called Easy Wave pomade, and then we added the two variations to give the line a little breath. These products are designed especially and particularly for guys who have shorter haircuts like a Caesar. It holds the waves intact.
S: The carrot oil and the tea tree oil are both dry hair products. So what would make someone choose one over the other?
WW: When you see anything that has carrot oil, it's basically speaking to strengthening the hair. The tea tree [oil] will give you the same thing as hydrating the hair and keeping your scalp nice, but it's going to have even more focus on people who have a higher propensity towards scalp dehydration or towards flakes.
S: And the pomade, what is the specialty for that one?
WW: The pomade is the original product. The pomade was designed to help hold the waves intact when the guy has a short haircut, the Ceasar waves that you brush out, or if you put a texturizer in it [for] natural curls in their head. Those [curls] that you see a lot of times that guys tie a stocking cap on their head to promote the wave formation.
S: What is usually the biggest mistake you see men make when trying to start up getting waves?
WW: The biggest mistake with men that I see is not shampooing enough.
S: How often should they shampoo?
WW: Every other day or three times a week at least. The beautiful thing about having a Caesar is that you could shampoo your hair everyday if you want. When I say shampoo, I say that in a very generalized term. What I mean is you should wash your hair, and you can wash your hair with conditioner or you can wash it with shampoo. If it's that short, you should have some water to that scalp everyday.
S: Is this just as important with women with short cuts?
WW: Just as important with women with short cuts as it is for men. There is some biology and some physiology that drives my statement. The way that your hair is made, there is a hair follicle. That's that hole that your hair comes out of on your scalp. Some people call it a hair pore, but it's actually the hair follicle. On one wall of the follicle is a sudoriferous gland that secretes sweat. On the other wall is a sebaceous gland that secretes oil. Usually at night—I don't know why but at night—most times that's when people do have the majority of secretions that come on the scalp. When they come out on the scalp, they settle on the scalp, and sometimes if a person has an overactive sebaceous gland it will look like they have dry scalp. These are things that should be rinsed or washed off of the scalp at night. Having a short haircut affords you the opportunity to do that on a daily, or if not daily two or three times a week.
S: For men who can't get waves just by putting oil in it and brushing it, what are they doing wrong?
WW: They're not doing anything wrong at all. When we're talking about people who have predominantly Afro-structured hair, we have to take into consideration that our hair comes in many different textures. Someone who has really tight coiled [hair], almost like springs on the hair, that's maybe dry, that person could brush as hard as he wants to for as long as he wants to. That hair is not going to flatten out. What that individual needs to do is just take a little texturizer and put it in the hair. Run the texturizer in the hair for a little bit, and what it's going to do is rebuild some of the protein in the hair that will allow it to be texturized enough so that he can brush it.
Will Williams will be visiting Cain Barber College located at 365 E. 51st St., on Chicago's south side this Sunday, Sept. 26.

A 38-year-old Georgetown woman is facing theft charges after she allegedly used an ATM card without the card owner's permission.
Police said Kimberly D. Blake was taken into custody on Wednesday at about 8:45 a.m. for an incident that occurred in March. Police said Blake is alleged to have used a PNC ATM card belonging to a 63-year-old Georgetown resident. Police said Blake was able to remove money from the victim's account. Police said Blake came into possession of the card through a third party whom, at the time, had permission to use the card.
Blake was charged with felony theft and unlawful use of a credit card. She was released on an unsecure bond with a future court date.

We heard that Bill "I'm in it for myself, and I'm a wanker" Parcells will be hosting a 90 minute pre-draft show on ESPN. Now remember that while he's "done" with the Dolphins, they are still paying him $4mil this year.
So, in effect, the Fins are paying him to share his (bogus) knowledge with anyone who would care to be bored by his nonsensical phrases for an hour and a half. Good. Maybe someone else will listen to him and draft the next Pat White or Chad Henne - and the Dolphins might actually get a decent pick at QB this year.
Or not, of course.

Crunch Time

I had a brief panic attack last week.
The cause of my sudden apprehension was a name, or rather the correct spelling thereof.
I was in Spokane at The Engravers on Monroe picking up end-of-season trophies for the kids in the Challenger Division of West Plains Little League. I had sent in the names for the trophies and was going through them when I came to one for a young girl named Caitlin – and briefly got lightheaded.
On the trophy, her name was spelled with a "C" and for a moment I thought I might have sent in the wrong spelling, thinking it was actually "Kaitlin" with a "K.â€...
