Yesterday, in conjunction with the Grammy Foundation, The Recording Academy announced that the first ever recipient of the Music Educator Award will be Kent Knappenberger of Westfield Academy and Central School in Westfield, N.Y.
The award will be presented at the Special Merit Awards Ceremony and Nominees Reception on Friday, January 25. The event is part of Grammy Week 2014, which began yesterday.
The Special Merit Awards will take place just prior to the evening's annual 2014 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons hosted by Clive Davis, which this year, will salute record executive Lucian Grainge.
Knappenberger will also be recognized at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards.
While Knappenberger is the recipient of the Music Educator Award, nine other music teachers from nine cities thorughout seven states are finalists for the award.
The new award has generated much interest and immense response. Since the inclusion of the new award was announced at last year's Grammy Awards by Grammy Foundation and Recording Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow, so much enthusiasm has resulted, that more than 30,000 initial nominations were submitted from virtually all 50 states.
In a Grammy first, the general public was allowed to submit nominations.
A total of nine music teachers from nine cities across seven states are finalists for the award. In total, more than 30,000 initial nominations were submitted from all 50 states.
The Music Educator Award was established to recognize current music teachers (kindergarten through college, public and private schools) that have made a significant and lasting contribution to music education and that have shown a commitment to the quest of maintaining music education in the schools in the face of government cutbacks supporting the arts.
Portnow issued a statement noting, "The Recording Academy and the Grammy Foundation created this award to highlight the extraordinary influence of music teachers on their students in and beyond the classroom. Many musicians would not be expressing their gift for creativity had it not been for the dedication and encouragement of a music teacher who inspired them to pursue a professional career."
Knappenberger has taught music and served as choir director at Westfield Academy and Central School for 25 years. He received his bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at Fredonia and achieved his master's degree in music education, harp performance and literature from Eastman School of Music.
A member of the National Education Association, he has also done volunteer work, teaching music to students at the Ana Gonzaga Methodist Institute in Rio de Janeiro.
Knappenberger says he believes the new award will help inspire other music educators. He responded, "I am extremely humbled and honored to be the recipient of the first-ever Music Educator Award. I believe that this award has already been and will continue to be a tremendous encouragement to all music educators."
He also pointed out another benefit of the award, stating, "Besides the attention it has brought to many fine teachers, it brings attention to the importance of music education in general."
Each year, one recipient will be selected from 10 finalists. The winner will be recognized for his/her remarkable impact on students' lives.
Knappenberger will be flown by The Recording Academy to Los Angeles to accept the award, attend the 56th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, and he will receive a $10,000 honorarium from the Grammy Foundation.
Finalists will receive a $1,000 honorarium, and additionally, the schools of all 10 finalists also will receive matching grants.
The honorariums and grants provided to the finalists and schools are made possible by donations and financial support of the Grammmy Foundation's Education Champions Box Tops For Education, Converse, Ford Motor Company Fund, Journeys, Microsoft Surface, and Universal Music Group.
Applications for the second annual Music Educator Award are now online. Readers may nominate a teacher at GrammyMusicTeacher.com. Nominations must be completed by March 31, 2014.
Just as the Grammy categories change with the times, the application process will be adjusted yearly, in order to include the broad span of successful teaching styles and methodology employed in music education.
America's schools have received more than $600 million from the Box Tops for Education program since it began in 1996, including $80 million in the 2012–2013 school year alone.
More than 90,000 schools use these much-needed funds to buy including computers, library books, art supplies, and playground equipment.
Schools can earn up to $20,000 by clipping Box Tops from 250 products and can earn eBoxTops by shopping online through the Box Tops Marketplace.

Rowland, a junior goalkeeper from Vacaville, Calif., moves up from third team in 2012 to first team in 2013. Rowland leads the nation in goals against average (0.26) and save percentage (0.912). She has allowed just six goals this season and set a new school record with 14 shutouts.
Dahlkemper, a three-time selection, is a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy and a two-time NSCAA All-American. The junior defender from Menlo Park, Calif. has started 22 games for the Bruins and is ranked second on the team in minutes played with 1,987. She has led the Bruin defense to 17 shoutouts and a national-best team GAA of 0.28.
Killion, a junior midfielder from Fort Wayne, Ind., earns her second-straight first-team All-Region honor. The two-time first-team All-Pac-12 honoree led the conference in assists with 11, a total that ranks fourth on UCLA's single-season assist list. She has also contributed one goal, the game-winner at Cal.
Richmond, a senior midfielder from Centreville, Va., was a third-team All-Region selection in 2012 and received first-team honors this season after contributing three goals and five assists while being one of just two Bruins to start all 24 games.

Did you know that "distracted driving" was the 2009 word of the year according to Webster's Dictionary? But unfortunately, this is no passing fad. Distracted driving has become a trend with deadly, real consequences. For anyone who thinks they can talk on their phone, text, apply make-up, or do any other distracting activity while driving, it's time for a crash course in reality from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
- In 2012, 3,328 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver and an estimated additional 421,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver. (NHTSA)
- Drivers who use hand-held devices are four times as likely to be involved in a serious crash. (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety)
- In 2011, 11 percent of all drivers under the age of 20 involved in fatal crashes were reported as distracted at the time of the crash. This age group had the largest proportion of drivers who were distracted. (NHTSA)
While those numbers may sound like just statistics, they're anything but. They could be parents, children, neighbors and friends from right here in Twin Falls, Idaho. There are too many sad tales of deaths and injuries that could have been prevented had drivers been paying attention to the road instead of someone or something else.
So, why do so many people participate in this dangerous behavior? With more technology now than ever, driver distractions have risen to unprecedented levels. We live in a world where people expect instant, real-time information 24 hours a day, and those desires don't stop just because they get behind the wheel. Drivers simply do not realize – or choose to ignore – the danger they create when they take their eyes off the road, their hands off the wheel, and their focus off driving.
People often say, "I can do two things at once. I've memorized where the numbers are on my phone, so I don't have to look." Or, "Sending or reading one text is pretty quick – that should be okay." They couldn't be more wrong.
For those who think they can do two things at once, think about this: According to a study by Carnegie Mellon, driving while using a cell phone reduces the amount of brain activity associated with driving by 37 percent. Can you really afford to lose that much brainpower? Driving is an activity that requires your full attention and focus in order to keep yourself and others safe.
Yes, this is a national problem, but it also affects us right here in Twin Falls. No one is immune from the dangers of distracted driving. So please remember: One text or call could wreck it all.
As parents, we are the number one influence on what kind of driver our teens become. Help them develop a lifetime of good driving habits by following these simple steps:
- Have the Talk
Driving is a serious responsibility. Discuss what it means to be a safe driver with your teen and set ground rules for when they're behind the wheel. If your teen is on the road, they should stay off the phone.
- Make a Family Pledge
Print out the pledge form and have every member of your family commit to distraction-free driving. Set a positive example for your kids by putting your cell phone in the glove compartment every time you drive. Create a Parent - Teen Driving Contract to cover other issues such as speeding, etc.
- Know the Laws in Your State
Many states have Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws that include cell phone and texting bans for young drivers. Remind your teen driver that there could be serious consequences for violating these laws - including a delayed or suspended license.

Planning for retirement is essential for a seamless transition to life after the workforce. A recent study by the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) found that people who planed for retirement had five times the assets of those who didn't.
Need Help Planning for Retirement? There's an App for That!
As technology advances in the 21st century continue to improve our everyday life, from Apple's invention of the portable digital music player (iPod) to the Word Lens app that allows you to translate foreign language by pointing your smartphone or iPad at foreign text and reading the English text on your device – it was only a matter of time until a retirement app was invented.
The Quick Advice app estimates the monthly income you can expect throughout retirement by using your current age, preferred retirement age, annual salary, and other annual income information. While this app is of great assistance to people who are beginning to plan for their future, it's more important to understand what type of retirement plan will best help you reach your retirement goals.
There are various types of retirement plans to choose from to help you reach your post-workforce goals. One of the more popular options is an Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA). The two different types of IRAs include:
- Traditional IRA – Donations made to your traditional IRA may be partially or fully deductible and earnings and gains made are not taxed until the money is distributed.
- Roth IRA – As long as the requirements are satisfied, the money you'll receive from your Roth IRA will be tax free. You can contribute to your Roth IRA until you are 70 years old, however, your account or annuity must be designated as a Roth IRA when it is set up.
IRA-based plans offered by most employers include:
- Payroll Deduction IRAs
- Simplified Employee Pension (SEP)
- Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SARSEP)
- Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRA)
Types of Retirement Options
Retirement options have grown exponentially since the days of the standard 401(k) plans in which some employers match employee contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Today, employees can pick from more than 17 retirement options to plan a financially stable life after the workforce. Some of these retirement options include:
- Profit Sharing Plans – Profit sharing plans require no set amount for contributions and can be held in addition to other retirement alternatives.
- Defined Benefit Plans – The amount of workers who pick the defined benefit plan package has declined from 114,000 insured plans in 1985 to a mere 38,000 insured plans today according to the Pension Benefit Corporation. This drop can be attributed to extremely low numbers of use in companies who provide this retirement option. Nonetheless, people who use this plan benefit from higher contributions from employers than other retirement options.
- Money Purchase Plans – This type of retirement plan requires mandatory contribution from the employer. However, it has been reported that this type of plan discriminates against employees who earn lower wages at a company because the plan pays a higher percentage to highly compensated employees.
- Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP)– An ESOP, 401(a), is a stock bonus plan designed to give staff members shares in the company they work for as part of their salary. This is an equity-based deferred compensation plan in which employees become owners of stock in the company they work for. Typically, companies allow employees the opportunity to acquire the company's shares at a reduced price over a period of time.
- 403(b) – The 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity plan is a tax-advantaged retirement plan similar to the 401(k), but which is available for public education organizations, some non-profit employers, and some self-employed ministers in the United States. Salary designated to go into a 403(b) are made before income tax is paid and grows untaxed until the money is withdrawn from the plan. At some companies Roth contributions also go toward 403(b) funds and can be withdrawn tax-free. However, Roth contributions have to be in the plan for at least five taxable years.
Social Security is a social insurance program that provides protection against poverty, old age, disability and unemployment to name a few. While this program helps ease the financial burden during retirement, stock options remain a better way to have a more secure retirement. However, the best stock options are usually reserved for the top leaders of a company.
Therefore, planning and saving for retirement is still the key to unlocking financial freedom throughout your retirement. Pick a retirement plan and contribute to the fund, and you will surely thank yourself in the future.
There are many options out there to get your retirement plan going or growing. Take time to meet with your employer and financial planner to determine which plan works best for you.

Results tagged ' Manny Ramirez '
The Exception?
Alright…with Manny Ramirez retiring suddenly this past week to avoid a second suspension for failing a drug test, it begs the question: HOF?
Taking steroids out of the equation, this guy is a first-ballot HOF-er. I would argue that he was the greatest righthander hitter in baseball from 1995-2008, and one of the greatest pure hitters in baseball history. Sure, he was a complete spaz and couldn't field a lick, but when you hit like that it doesn't really matter. During the mid-1990s he and Jim Thome provided potency to the Cleveland Indians, then he and David Ortiz teamed up as perhaps the most dominant 3-4 combination since Ruth-Gehrig. Even his stint with the Dodgers (before the first suspension that signaled the end of his career) was incredible.
Some of the career stats: .312 BA, .411 OBP, .585 SLG, .996 OPS, 2,574 H, 555 HR, 1,831 RBI.
He was always a favorite player of mine (when not tormenting Twins pitching, of course) for just his pure hitting ability. The guy didn't give a lick about anything, but he was blessed with the ability to hit a baseball really, really hard with surprising frequency.
Of course, much like Andy Pettitte, the steroid issue will cloud Manny's candidacy. Like Pettitte and, say, A-Rod, Manny is a confirmed steroid user. That being said, he didn't make up ridiculous stories in his defense (e.g. Barry Bonds), didn't become a jerk about it (e.g. Roger Clemens), didn't refuse to speak about the past (e.g. Mark McGwire), didn't blatently deny his usage (e.g. Rafael Palmeiro), and didn't forget how to speak English when questioned (e.g. Sammy Sosa). Basically, he just got caught and served his time.
My feeling on the matter right now is that I would put Manny in the Hall, but not after a few years of "punishment waiting" sitting on the ballot. Perhaps I am being too sentimental and should be harder on the guy, but at least he didn't deny, deny, deny and make baseball look like a bunch of guys trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
Time will tell.
The Franchise
"It's the franchise, boy, I'm shining now…"
In 2006, the Minnesota Twins were supposed to have the lethal 1-2 combination of savvy vet Johan Santana and unhittable rookie Francisco Liriano leading them deep into the playoffs. That is, until Frankie's arm popped one too many times, and old Tommy John reared his ugly head.
After losing all of 2007 and most of 2008, last year was a lost one for the Cisco Kid, as he struggled mightily with control, his delivery, and his velocity. Good thing that is now in the past, as "The Franchise" is now living up to the billing.
His stat line tonight might not have been all that sparkly (6 IP, 3 ER), but he did strike out seven batters (including Manny Ramirez twice) and pretty much dominated until he ran out of gas a little early due to an extended opening inning. He was hitting 97 mph on Chicago's radar gun, had the biting slider, and even a nice assortment of changeups to really keep the batsmen shifting.
Amazingly enough, that wasn't even the pitching performance of the game, as that "award" goes to Jesse Crain for striking out Paul Konerko and Manny Ramirez with likely the game on the line in the seventh inning. While I may not take back ALL the things I've said about Crain on this blog, I will say that he has undergone perhaps the most remarkable in-season turnaround of any reliever I've ever seen. He's absolutely unhittable right now, and is mopping up all of Guerrier's and Rauch's messes.
I was very surprised by the lack of pizazz shown by the Chicago crowd tonight. With Ramirez up and the bases loaded in the seventh, the fans never really even got on their feet or made any noise (except, of course, to boo Manny rigorously as he returned to the dugout). Then, when Alex Rios misplayed a ball in center field that allowed three runs to score and effectively clinched a Twins victory, I thought the Chi-Sox fans were practicing a fire drill the way they were heading for the exits.
I would like to believe that, if the roles had been reversed, Twins fans at Target Field would have been on their feet in those crucial situations and not leaving until that 27th out.
Preview (86-58, 1st, 7.0 GA CWS, Magic #: 12): Brian Duensing (8-2, 2.02) vs. Gavin Floyd (10-12, 3.91)
Manny's Feeling Blue
I just HAD to report today that Manny Ramirez agreed to a 2-year, $45 million contract with the LA Dodgers. Besides my Twins, Manny is my current favorite baseball player. While he's probably the biggest jerk on the planet, he is also the greatest natural hitter of our generation. Steroids for Manny?! Pah!! He was born strong, mean, and with lightning-fast batting reflexes!
1B: Everything We Asked For (And Probably A Bit Too Much…)
What did Justin Morneau NOT accomplish during the 2008 season?! His offensive stats read as follows: 683 AB, 97 R, 187 H, 47 2B (a new team record), 23 HR, 129 RBI, and .300 BA, far and away leading the rest of the team in nearly all of those categories (and likely garnering him at least a few MVP ballots behind probable winner Dustin Pedroia). Defensively, Morneau has also developed himself into an above-average (and borderline spectacular) defenseman (much like Corey Koskie did years ago). Oh, and on a personal level, Morneau won the MLB Home Run Derby and scored the winning run in the All-Star Game. What's to complain about, right?
While Justin (much like his buddy Joe Mauer) was the team MVP throughout the 2008 season, he also seemed to succumb to a bit of fatigue at certain points (163 games will do that to a player). Basically, he carried the team when he was hot, but also was abhorrent when he was cold (like the last week of the season). I hope that Twins manager Ron Gardenhire will view this as just another learning experience with his always-potential MVP candidate, as it would be smart to give him a few days off next season whether or not it messes up the lineup.
In order for that to happen, though, the Twins may need to go out a sign a part-time player (much like Mike Redmond does at the catcher position) to play 1B, or give Brian Buscher a bit more work at the position so they at least feel moderately comfortable giving the Big Canuck some rest.
All in all, it was a great season for Morneau and I hope he continues his success in subsequent seasons, as he is the rock that our offensive lineup is built on.
Playoff Notes:
-Talk about some bad blood in Los Angeles…the Dodgers got back into their NLCS with a 7-2 win over Philadelphia. Besides some early offensive fireworks from the men in Blue (knocking Phillies' starter Jamie Moyer in the second inning), both benches also emptied when Hiroki Kuroda (the Dodgers' starting pitcher) threw over the head of Shane Victorino, with Manny Ramirez leading the charge out of the home dugout. A bunch of other beanballs were exchanged (whether intentional or not) during the contest, setting up a Game Four tomorrow night that was the potential for high drama.
-Yes, the Tampa Bay Rays evened the series with the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night, but with the series moving to Fenway Park tomorrow afternoon, does anyone really think the Rays will take two of three on that hallowed ground. IF this series goes back to The Trop, it WILL be with the Sox holding the advantage.
ALCS Predictions: The New Postseason Kings
How quickly have we forgotten 2004 and 2007? After watching the media coverage of the ALCS that begins on Friday night in Tampa Bay, there has been almost an overwhelming consensus that the upstart Rays will dethrone the defending-champion Red Sox and reach the first World Series in franchise history (of course, every Ray victory has some sort of historical significance these days!). Not so fast, people…
Let's look at this series a game at a time. The series opens in Tropicana Field, where the Rays have been nearly a completely different than they are at home, but who really thinks the Rays will win both of those first two home games against the playoff-savvy Sox? Game 1 pits Daisuke Matsuzaka (18-3, 2.90) against James Shields (14-8, 3.56), while Game 2 is Josh Beckett (12-10, 4.03) vs. Scott Kazmir (12-8, 3.49). I'd actually favor the Sox in both games, but let's say (for home-field advantage sake) that the series is even when it moves back into Fenway.
This is where things are sure to get interesting, as it is the classic case of "postseason aura" (which the Red Sox have finally wrestled away from the Yankees) vs. "young team that isn't intimidated" (the Rays have never experienced this situation before, so how can they be too overwhelmed?). In that scenario, however, I will take the most experienced team any day of the week. Although the pitching matchups in Game Three, Jon Lester (16-6, 3.21) vs. Matt Garza (11-9, 3.70), and Game Four, Tim Wakefield (10-11, 4.13) vs. Andy Sonnanstine (13-9, 4.38), perhaps swing a little bit toward the Rays (at least compared to the first two games), I'll still take the experienced hurlers over the green ones. Even if the series is 2-2 after four games, the pitching matchups will be who has the best bullpen, and what starters can come back effectively on short rest. All four Sox starters are battle-tested, while all the Rays are first-timers. As a Twins fan, I would not feel too confident on a guy like Matt Garza coming back in a game seven facing, say, Tim Wakefield.
Offensively both clubs can score runs. In fact, I think the only way Tampa Bay can win this series is if they completely outscore the BoSox, and by a large margin at that. However, the Boston lineup has developed a habit of producing in the clutch, with guys like David Ortiz, J.D. Drew, Jason Bay, Jason Varitek, Mike Lowell, and some guy you would never expect (Jedd Lowrie?!) providing the back-breaking hits to the opposition. I thought that the departure of Manny Ramirez would really hurt Boston come postseason time, but Manny's replacement, Jason Bay, has performed admirably after escaping Pittsburgh.
My "official" prediction, then, is for Boston to defeat Tampa Bay in six games. The Rays have had a great ride, but I think that the playoff experience of nearly every Boston player will be too much for the scrappy Rays to overcome. However, I would expect to see many close, hard-fought games. Whereas the Yankees of old developed their "mystic and aura" in the playoffs by crushing opponents, the Red Sox have won in the playoffs by getting the late-inning clutch hits.

Carl Froch left no doubt about it this time. He decked George Groves with a straight right Saturday in their super-middleweight rematch in London and finally established his superiority in what has become a great rivalry.
Groves (19-2) is capable of outboxing Froch for long stretches, but Froch (33-2, 24 knockouts) proved the tougher man.
Froch had won the first meeting last November in Manchester, his neck of the woods, by scoring a ninth-round technical knockout in a bout he was trailing. The stoppage then was premature. Froch had been hurt worse in the first round, when Groves had overwhelmed him and knocked him down. A rematch was a must.
This time Groves won the first four rounds by again establishing his jab, landing the occasional power shot and countering effectively as Froch stepped up the pace. But Froch became more aggressive near the end of the fourth, and as it turned out, the tide had turned for good.
The jab became Groves' means of fending off Froch more than actually scoring points. Froch landed a lead right to steal the seventh, and then finished the fight with a one-two in the eighth. Groves blocked the left hook, but the straight right landed flush. Groves' left leg twisted grotesquely as he fell, and the bout clearly was over.
In retrospect, the knockdown scored by Groves in the first bout was the one aberration. He's an excellent boxer with a great jab, but his power was not in Froch's class.
Froch's last loss was to the Bay Area's Andre Ward in 2011, and he avenged his other defeat by beating Mikkel Kessler. His crossroads fight Saturday drew about 80,000 to Wembley Stadium, and that's another sort of power Froch can wield in future negotiations.

In the wide range of Dunkermotoren products, you will find a suitable drive for almost any requirement in powers ranging from 1 500 Watt. The following points should be taken into account when selecting motors and gearboxes:
When laying out a suitable motor, determining the required torque plays a decisive role in avoiding thermal overload of the motor in service.
In the assembly of a drive system consisting of motor and control electronics, it is important to ensure that permissible values for the motor are not exceeded by outputs from the electronics. Depending on the speed of rotation required, a motor or a motorgearbox combination may be selected. The choice of a reduction gearbox will largely depend on the recommended maximum torque in continuous operation. For intermittent duty, loading above the rated torque is possible.
When choosing a motor after deciding on the gearbox, the following applies:
Mmotor = Mgearbox / (i x ŋ)
We will be pleased to carry out a precise adaptation of a motor to your service conditions.

Pope Francis and President Barack Obama met for the first time today at Vatican City. The meeting between the two world leaders came with criticism from some members of the Vatican citing President Obama's stance on abortion and same-sex marriage.
In an interview with Polonia Christiana magazine, Vatican's chief justice, Cardinal Raymond Burke said that Obama "promotes anti-life and anti-family policies."
"It is true that the policies of the president of the United States have become progressively more hostile toward Christian civilization. He appears to be a totally secularized man who aggressively promotes anti-life and anti-family policies," Burke told the magazine.
However, despite Obama's disapproval from the former archbishop of St. Louis, the President and Pope Francis met today, greeted each other with a smile and a handshake, and posed for pictures before sitting down across a table from each other.
It is believed that the two influential men will stay away from issues where they differ and stick to subjects where there is a common goal.
"In general, they'll be looking for areas of conversation where there is great agreement between the Vatican and the administration," said Steve Schneck, director of the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies at the Catholic University of America.
"The Pope will likely bring up immigration in a broad way ... and I do think there's a possibility the bishops' concerns about contraception in the (Affordable Care Act) might be mentioned," Schneck said.
Pontiff and presidential meetings are a long standing tradition. The first assembly took place January 4, 1919 between President Woodrow Wilson and Pope Benedict XV.

Wonder if they are under water this week?
Posted 2011-10-25 10:08:05
One of the worst websites I have ever seen. I never could download the menu and the map was no help. They also serve pizza so I doubt I will even try the place.
Posted 2011-10-25 12:33:25
The website sucks. Way too slow, so I gave up before I could see what they offer.

The website worked fine for me but I am currently in farangland. It is kind of a crazy menu trying to be everything to everybody, Mexican + Italian + Pizza + Steak + Pancakes/Waffles + Thai and throw in vegetarian selections. How could any restaurant make so many different things good? It being in Nontaburi I would probably never go anyway but I would be suspicious of any place with no direction or confidence in what it says it is.
Posted 2011-10-26 01:30:46
The menu is amusing...so long its crazy. They should trim it to a third of the size and concentrate on doing that well imo.
Yet just maybe the place is amazing...and loved by its local clientele who don't want us all descending and raising the cheap prices....
Another doubter I'm afraid.

Web site works perfect and fast for me. Sounds like the slow web site problem is on your end.
Posted 2011-10-26 09:32:13
True, but the website problem is related to the failure of the proprietor to understand that the internet in Thailand is not the same as the internet if developed countries. It is a very poor design for this part of the world, making it anything but user friendlty. I also agree with one poster who pointed out the complicated menu and associated attempt to give customers everything, including some Mexican food. That rings an alarm bell that says "we are not sure about what we want to do." Having said that, I have not eaten there and apparently nobody else has. It would be nice to get some feedback from people who have tried the Mexican food.
Posted 2011-10-26 17:48:58
Yes, the food is terrible and expensive at Que Pasa. Don't go you won't like it.
Posted 2011-10-26 19:24:28
I suspect that you are right, but as it is in the middle of nowhere it might be worth a try if you find yourself in the area.
Posted 2011-10-27 05:35:56
Wow.... all things....they even sell customized golf carts.
Posted 2011-10-27 18:16:10
The website works fine for me too. I am located in Rayong(Thailand) Loads fast, including the menu. Looks like it is worth a try once the water subsides. Having Thai food as well as Mexican /Western is a plus for my family.
Posted 2011-10-30 10:59:32
I've eaten there many times and, in my opinion, the food is great (based on many years of indulgence in good Tex-Mex food in Houston & San Antonio) and the quality consistent.
In simple terms, its worth a visit even if that includes driving across Bangkok like we have to.
Posted 2011-10-30 14:42:19
I tried it once and then I tried it again and now I try and get there every couple of weeks. Great tasting Mexican food- but beware the big serves are really BIG.
Posted 2011-10-30 22:18:59
A decent map to this place would be appreciated.
Could some kind soul please post a map or give directions.
I have just spent 30 minutes on Google maps trying to find this place.
Posted 2011-11-06 22:07:33
It's right off of Tiawanon road. from the KaeRai intersection (tiawanon and ratanatibet) head towards changwatana. turn right on Soi samakke go approx 1 kilometer and turn left at the 7-11 (big sign visible for the moobahn its in just before 7-11) follow the road as it bends right continue following the road past the subway shop, it will bend right. go approx. 200 meters its on the left.
Hope that helps

^^^^ griser, cheers for that, thanks, sussed it.
Was interested in directions from Immigration on Chaeng Wattana, quite straight forward.
Due to visit immi next month, hopefully floods will have subsided by then.
Posted 2011-11-09 21:45:21
Griser, I don't understand why you said the place is expensive. I checked the menu and it seems very reasonable, especially compared the the other Mexican restaurants in BKK. Maybe it is more then the 30 baht for noodle soup that you would have to be comparing it to. So when you say the food is terrible you lost credibility and are probably a troll. Or maybe your the Greg from sunrise taco. I do agree that there menu is to extensive, but if they can product good tasting food, my hat is off to them. If I'm in the area I will give it a try.
Posted 2011-11-11 16:47:08
You didn't see my ? I was trying to convey the exact opposite. The food IS good and is reasonable. I don't want the place to get overcrowded with folks from Bangkok. hehe.
Posted 2011-12-24 17:51:30
The prices are some of the cheapest around but sorry to say the Mexican is IMOP the worst I've had in BKK. I had a chimichanga and the sauce was sour cream, diced tomatoes and ketchup!
The filling was chicken and cheese with nothing added for flavor, no seasonings, cilantro, or onions. I've tried the tacos and enchiladas, chips and salsa and guacamole and everything pretty much has the same theme - bland. The owner seems to be trying to make a one stop shop for American cuisine to cater to the local university. They have a big menu and the food tastes pretty generic like something you would find at a Denny's or Applebees. On a positive note the owner is a good guy and the place has a very good atmosphere and makes a fun place to hang out and have a beer but if you're foodie like I am and are picky about your Mexican food I would stick to the La Monitas, Coyote, and Sunrise.

Ate lunch there today - place was FULL. Consistently good food, good variety. People from Texas might not be impressed, but I'll bet they will at least approve. Saw a mean-looking hamburger pass by, as well as some waffles, so they have variety to please.
Service was reasonably fast, considering the place was packed with big parties, and lots of kids. The local farangs seem to show up in golf carts, and seem to be regulars. The owner has carved himself a nice niche in an otherwise out-of-the-way area.
BBQ King is right around the corner, and I've been meaning to try one of their sandwiches forever. Que Pasa just kind of lures me past it...

I've eaten there. I had nachos. The portion was huge. It was decent, but I wouldn't go across town for it. I usually go there when I do my 90 day reporting. I found the prices reasonable.
Posted 2012-05-27 23:58:53
Que Pasa has been a staple for the International School Bangkok community for at least the last 10 years, even after going through a number of relocations and owner disputes. More so than staple, but tradition. If its anything like it used to be the place would be packed every Friday and Sunday and be busy the rest of the week.
The food in my opinion isn't the best Mexican grub in the world, but it's definitely one of the top comfort food retreats. The portions are massive, the tastes relatively simple, and that's what makes them so worthwhile. You go there just to gorge on meat and cheese.
Posted 2012-05-28 01:30:23
Thanks for this. I was considering a visit but...I am more of a La Monita fan....I want quality...not quantity.
Posted 2012-05-28 10:14:14
Sometimes an ungodly amount of moo cow and fermented moo cow juice is quality, especially in a place like Thailand.

Phoenicians may have taken the summer off from job search to spend time vacationing, enjoy family time, or just stay indoors out of the heat. As the last school districts start their new academic year in the next two weeks, it's time to consider all of your job search resources and prepare to get back in action.
- Review your documents. Resumes and cover letters are only part of the documentation you need to review and update. Introduction emails, follow up letters, and any visuals you may use in the interview process should also be cleaned up. Taking the time now will pay off once you need them.
- Connect with people. Be aware of your network and who you need to make an effort to speak to rather than emailing. Don't take for granted the impact a personal call can make in having someone support you with your search. Using electronic and personal methods to communicate will make your network appreciate you more.
- Be committed and take time for each step. This is all about avoiding procrastination. Devote time each week for online job search, network building, contact to and follow up with companies, and interview preparation and practice.
Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing recommendations and tips for each of the five key areas you need to focus on in the job search process. If you are ready to hit a job fair tomorrow, check out this one:

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Don Maestri has a unique perspective on Rodney Hood.
For one season – 1979-80 – Maestri was an assistant basketball coach at Mississippi State, and that was the same season Ricky Hood played for the Bulldogs. More than three decades later, the coach watched Hood's son, Rodney, score 12 points as the Bulldogs trampled Maestri's Troy team last weekend.
After the game, Maestri told Hood, "I knew your dad. You're better-looking than him, and you're a better player."
Maestri described Ricky Hood as athletic and hard-working, but, "His dad wasn't as good as Rodney is as a freshman. He's way ahead of the curve."
That's been evident so far during this season, in which Mississippi State has started 10-1 and earned a No. 17 national ranking. Hood hasn't played like a freshman, especially in big moments.
When things got tight down the stretch against FAU on Tuesday, Hood had a putback and a leaner in the lane to help the Bulldogs stave off the visitors. That's just the way he plays, because he's concerned less with highlight plays and more with plain old good plays.
"He's had good coaching from his dad," MSU coach Rick Stansbury said. "He didn't allow him to go in the gym and work on 3-pointers or dunks. He taught him about the finer points of the game. Most people don't get that as a young kid."
Stats tell story
Entering today's game at Detroit (5-7), Hood is third on the team in scoring at 12.9 points per game. He's shooting 54.6 percent from the field, a very close second to forward Arnett Moultrie (54.7). Hood's also grabbing 5.5 rebounds and has 20 assists against 11 turnovers.
He's started all 11 games and leads the Bulldogs in minutes per game (34.6). Hood played all 40 minutes against FAU – State was without Moultrie and guard Brian Bryant – and recorded his first career double-double (19 points, 10 rebounds).
That game gave Hood a taste of what it could be like in SEC play, even if MSU is playing with a full roster.
"I haven't played SEC ball, but I know they're not going to let Dee (Bost) weave in and out of the lane like that, and they're going to double down on people, so I've got to be their missing link to knock down shots and make plays," Hood said. "I'm glad we had games like this where I can work on that."
MSU will have Bryant back today after his three-game suspension, and Stansbury expects Moultrie (knee tendinitis) to start. Detroit is led by Chase Simon (16.3 ppg) and point guard Ray McCallum Jr. (14.6 ppg).

Integrated Technology Center
The largest of the projects is the renovation and expansion of the Applied Technology Center to create a comprehensive state-of-the-art Integrated Technology Center. The new technology center will allow several industrial programs to share classroom and lab space. They were previously spread over six locations on campus. The upgrade will:
- Provide a complete building renovation, ground floor expansion, and the addition of a third and fourth floor.
- Allow the industrial technologies programs to consolidate to a single location, creating an advanced manufacturing center.
- Co-locate similar courses for more efficient use of space, eliminate redundant equipment, and improve student experience and training.
- Allow the building to become a "living laboratory" for students.
- Make the building LEED Platinum certified, the highest rating level for major remodeling projects.
The former Applied Technology center was stripped and gutted during summer 2014, and the addition was started right as fall classes got underway. Work will continue through January 2016.

How can one show that $n \log n \subseteq O(n^{1+\epsilon})$ where $0 < \epsilon < 1$ without using limits? This question arise from a homework where I used limits to prove the relation. I'd like to know if there is another way.

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Let $0<\epsilon<1$ be fixed. We need only show that $\log n=O(n^\epsilon)$. Suppose $n\geq 1$ so that $\log n\geq 0$. Since $$n^\epsilon=e^{\epsilon \log n}=1+\epsilon \log n+\frac{\epsilon^2 \log^2 n}{2}\cdots \geq \epsilon \log n$$ we see that $$\log n \leq \frac{1}{\epsilon}n^\epsilon $$ which proves the desired result.

A private plane that crashed into Ridgway Reservoir last weekend was hauled out of the frigid water Thursday, along with all five victims. It took a specialized dive team from Beegles Aircraft Service, Inc. in Greeley to secure the main body of the 5,000-lb. plane so it could be pulled up from where it had been stuck upside down in silt in 60 feet of water.

If you are a first time new hire, parking permits are provided by the Human Resources Office. Thereafter, Staff Permits are issued to regularly employed college staff and must be replaced before each October. Applications for staff permits are made available in the mail rooms of both campuses during July, August and September. To obtain a staff permit at other times, contact your department head or department administrative assistant for an application, or contact the Police Department at Ext. 7455.
Try to keep up with the ever changing parking lot openings and closings during construction. Updates are sent to your marin.edu email address. You will also find updated campus parking maps in public areas across the campus.
Students may purchase textbooks and supplies for all classes at the Kentfield Campus Bookstore. Books for classes which take place on the Indian Valley Campus may be purchased at the Indian Valley Campus only at the beginning of each semester.

New options for students:
In addition to new and used copies of our textbooks that have always been available to students, the bookstore is now offering two new options:
Textbook Rental program: In this case students pay upfront about half the price of a new textbook and must give the bookstore a credit card number that is valid at least a month past the end of the semester. If they do NOT return the book, the bookstore will charge the difference plus a service fee.
How are textbooks selected for the rental program?
Instructions for Students
Putting Books on Reserve in the Library
Perhaps you have an extra copy of your textbooks or other required readings that you could loan to the library? If so, please consider placing copies of your instructional material on course reserve for your students. Another option would be to request that the library purchase a copy using the ASCOM Textbook Loan Program. Given California's budget cuts, students are struggling to purchase required course materials. Having textbooks available in the library provides your students with the opportunity to succeed.
To put a book on reserve:
Duplicating service for class materials is available through the Reprographics Center on the Kentfield Campus (LC Room 70).
To assure that materials are available, materials to be duplicated should be submitted at least three working days in advance for any given class session. Attach a completed Printing Request Form to the material you wish duplicated and take it to the Reprographics Center (in the Learning Resources Center). IVC faculty may use Campus Courier for delivery of printing requests to the Kentfield Campus. Remember to mark IVC in the upper right hand corner of your printing request. Completed work will be returned to the IVC Mailroom Building 9, Room 127).
The Reprographics Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. You can drop off requests in the Kentfield Mailroom after hours. There is a "mailbox" on the center table. Place your request in the mail box and raise the flag! If you need to pick up your order after hours in the evening or on the weekend, please clearly indicate this on the request form.
New Online Service: Fill out the fillable Printing Request Form, save it as a pdf and email it with a pdf of what you would like printed to Jesse Harbison or Annie Ricciuti. You will need to come in to pick up your order. Please specify if you want it available for "after hours pick-up" in the Kentfield mailroom or delivered to the IVC mailroom.
Completed jobs will be available on the counter in reprographics or for after-hours pick-up, on the counter in the Mailroom or in your mailbox if requested.
Materials duplicated for College of Marin classes should not bear any business logos. If you wish to use the College logo on your cover page, the College will provide the stationery. The instructor's name and course name should be on the materials to be duplicated.
Also, we encourage all instructors to create a packet of existing course materials that number 25 pages or more. The packet can then be sold to your students at the campus bookstores, and the duplication costs to your department will be significantly lower.
Self-service copiers are located as follows:
See your Department Chair for a copy control number.
Self-service copiers should not be used for making multiple copies of class materials. Please plan ahead for all your printing needs for the semester.
Copyrights on Syllabi and Workbooks
When using material from other sources for Syllabi or Workbooks that are to be printed and sold in the College of Marin bookstore, it is necessary to acquire written permission from the book or magazine publisher before your job can be printed. There are not exceptions to this rule, including limited or fair use. Recently, publishers have become very strict about use and the college has adopted this policy in order to avoid any legal issues regarding material. Please contact the Reprographics Supervisor if you have any questions.
Audio-Visual equipment is available for use in classrooms and special events from the Media Services Department. Some classrooms have built-in LCD projectors, computers, DVD's and VCR's.
Requests for all instructional media equipment should be submitted at least 24 hours in advance for the Kentfield Campus and a minimum of three days in advance for the IVC Campus. Equipment is reserved on a first come first served basis. Late requests will be honored only as time and equipment permit. Call Media Services directly to put in your request on campus at 7606 or 485-9606.
Media Services now has a new webpage from which you can order equipment online. It includes a list of services and available equipment as well as staff contact information.
The Kentfield Campus Media Services hours are:Monday - Thursday 8:30 am to 8:00 pm; Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Classroom Scheduling ConflictsEvery effort is made to avoid having two classes assigned to the same room at the same time. It can happen, though, usually during a last minute scheduling change that comes too late to notify everyone concerned. If your class conflicts with another, please call your Department Chair. We will make a temporary room change. A new room will be assigned before your next class meeting. Bear with us; we know how disruptive the situation is, and we will do everything we can to resolve the conflict as quickly and as smoothly as possible.
Please check the online schedule "revisions" section before your first class meeting to make sure there haven't been any last minute changes to your scheduled room.
Please leave the classroom in the same condition in which you found it. At the end of each class, windows should be closed, blackboards erased, and desks returned to their original arrangement.
If there is a problem in your room, please discuss the needed remedy with your Department Chair so that a work order can be issued.All classrooms have room capacities. If an unusually large number of students appear at the first class session, please do not add students beyond the seats available. Discuss the class size with your Department Chair and a room change will be made whenever possible.
If you find that your room is too hot or too cold, please contact the administrative assistant for your department so that Maintenance can be notified.
Instructors are authorized to have a key to their classrooms. Please check with your discipline's administrative assistant to make sure you have keys to your classroom. Key requests must be authorized by department chairs or deans. When you receive the key, please sign the white form and return it to her. Your keys should be returned after the last class meeting.
Custodians will open – in an emergency. Occasionally, at the beginning of the semester, a Custodian might be asked by our office to open a classroom if the instructor has not yet received their key. It is usually the department Admin. Assistant that calls ahead and asks that the room be opened. The general rule of thumb on both campuses is that Police open the buildings in the early morning unless the building has a morning Custodian. Police do not open classrooms. Custodians lock up the buildings at night.
In addition the back-up for evening classes held Monday through Thursday during the regular semester is to contact the evening Administrator to unlock a classroom door under special circumstances i.e. instructor left key at home; classroom change etc. The evening administrator can be contaced until 8:00 pm at:
In addition the Police can open a classroom in emergency situations. Keep in mind that if the officer is handling a situation he/she may not be able to respond right away and could delay the instructor's classroom time. Therefore, it is important to have your own classroom key and remember to bring it with you!
Also, be aware that the Media Services Department will lock any room after delivering equipment, so please be certain the room is locked again after class.
Emergency Procedures Evenings and Saturdays
There are three options, in case of an emergency on the Kentfield Campus at night or on Saturday:
If you need to be reached by a family member for an emergency after 7 or 8 pm or on Saturdays, you can be contacted through the Campus Police by calling the Police Dispatcher at 415-485-9696.
For other procedures such as evacuation or when there is a power outage, refer to the red and white handbook posted inside most classrooms. You can also refer to the following information in case of other disaster:
As always, in an life-threatening emergency, please call 911!

Well Suited
A well-heeled crowd of ladies and gents (close to 500 of them, actually) filed into The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel's ballroom to celebrate the return of a beloved event—the 31st Gentlemen's Haberdashery, an afternoon of food, wine and fashion benefiting the Heart of Jesus Retreat Center in Santa Ana, run by the Sisters of the Society Devoted to the Sacred Heart. It's been five years since the last daytime gala, and the guest list included the who's who among Orange County's elite, with Anthony Moiso and George O'Connell serving as co-hosts, and fellas like Ray Jacobi and Jim Ulcickas modeling menswear from At Ease, Bloomingdale's, Garys and Tommy Bahama, among others. When it was all over, $230,000 had been raised for the retreat center's children's programs. Bless their hearts! Photography by Cindy Maria and Carla Rhea

To commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr,'s birthday, which is actually on January 17th, the nation has turned the holiday into a Day of Service. Instead of simply getting a day off, workers should honor the legacy of Dr. King, by dedicating their free time to the noble cause of serving others.
Many large corporations can afford to give their employee this national holiday, and hopefully the paid day off encourages them to work on community projects or volunteer their services.
Often smaller businesses may not be able to afford giving employees a paid holiday or even the day off, but there are many ways in which everyone can encourage participation in the MLK Day of Service.
Larger companies with multiple offices and location can sponsor a company wide Day of Service. They can set up a partnership with organizations and ask their employees to volunteer at a local soup kitchen, community center or church sponsored event. Employees that participate in these corporate sponsored events on the MLK Day of Service can receive another day off at some point in time.
If the company is able, they can let employees pick their own event or choose from multiple company listed events, and grant them a floating holiday as added incentive.
Some smaller organizations can do the same with listing organizations and events that they wish to support and encourage their team to participate as a group; although they may not be able to give any extra incentive. Restaurants may have their employees that are off, volunteer to cook a meal at a soup kitchen, or a business may volunteer as a group to help serve the meal.
Another way smaller businesses can encourage participation is by having an event at your location. Businesses can sponsor and organize a coat drive or collect canned goods for a food bank. This can let employees working still participate and those that are off may volunteer to help out for the day.

Added a product review for 2014 Specialized Epic Marathon Carbon Bike 2/13/2014 3:12 PM
The Good: ride, handling and the fit
The Bad: too early to say, not keen on the colour but does look nicer close uo
3 rides so far from road to gloopy mud. just changed from the 2012 expert epic and had epics before in 26" wheels. The fit is perfect for me and the handling and power delivery is ideal for the fast xc riding I enjoy. Suspension does seem better than the earlier models - although I had no complaints on those, I always wanted rigid (pedal) feel but with suspension compliance for my old(er) bones. The Epics deliver that fantastically well, super quick, exciting to ride and always rewarding. The Marathon feels stunningly quick. Raced a boy racer in a Nova SR making loads of noise tonight, I recon I accelerated faster...
I am not as young as I was and the Epics have made me faster than I ever was. loving it.

Added a product review for 2012 Specialized Epic Expert Carbon 29 Bike 2/13/2014 2:58 PM
Loved it for 2 years then bought a Marathon
The Good: Handling, speed, fit
The Bad: rear freewheel was very noisey until I serviced it then fine. Brakes had air problems - until I serviced them then fine
Fantastic bike, every ride made me smile and every ride was faster than I thought I had in me. Great on knarley stuff and equally good on the road. The perfect bike (for me)
Just let my lad have it so I could buy a 2014 Marathon. 3 rides so far and its shaping up to be even better.. Although I don't like the black as much

1. Oh God…
This favorite comes in handy because it connotes exasperated horror, born of an inability to process the amount of revolting, terrible shit going on in the world at any given time, while simultaneously evoking the image of a divine creator, responsible for that same world, who will eventually explain and justify its existence and the suffering of so many innocent people.
2. Jesus Christ!
Though superficially similar to #1, "Jesus Christ!" is a complex ejaculation that mingles anger with the image of compassion. Usually, this utterance can be read as "I can't believe this shit!" which is ironic, especially if you're loose with the definition of irony.
3. Fuck me.
Another ambiguous phrase, connoting both a desire to be punished, like the awful external world is so bad that one should be in more pain to identify with it, as well as the desire to feel the ultimate pleasure, to escape from the violent reality of contemporary society through orgasm.
4. What the hell!
The lack of interrogative punctuation here shows that this statement is entirely rhetorical, as no explanation could possibly serve to make sense of the atrocities witnessed on a daily basis by everyone in the world all the time, making the allusion to "hell" all the more apt.
5. [shaking the head sadly, sighing deeply]
Unable to even speak an inane catch-all for shock, fear and disgust, this response expresses absolute helplessness in the face of tragedy on such a large scale. The violent rupture of the real has shattered the fragile cohesion of symbolic order and only a mute gesture of body language, most often to an empty, quiet room, serves as the best articulation of impotent sadness.
6. [uncontrollable heaving sobs]
Unable to maintain emotional stability in the face of soul-crushing human folly, breaking down into great, heaving sobs that wrack the body with their force lets the reality that individual human lives were abruptly and violently ended meaninglessly (again) manifest in the universal symbol for grief.
7. [numb]
An empty numbness to the realization that this is what the world is apparently, this horror show of violence, counter-violence, counter-counter-violence, of exploitation, dehumanization, acquisition, jealousy, shame and death. There's nothing. Just these brief moments of empty reflection in between attempts to engage with one's personal life as if all this isn't happening, won't continue to happen. Maybe not to us personally, but to someone we love, someone we knew in school, someone we've never met. Has it always been this way? Is there anything other than this? Any other way to live as people? Is there anyone or anything to answer the heartbreakingly sincere questions of creatures trying to come to terms with existence in a monstrous system rife with senseless acts of cruelty?

When cooking with your kids, you can slip in some history facts without them realizing you are teaching them something they may need to know for the future. Why not share information about the father of the peanut industry, George Washington Carver, while fixing this recipe for salty haystacks with your children?
Carver began his peanut research in 1903 at the famous Tuskegee Institute. While there he discovered and developed more than 300 uses for peanuts. Carver also convinced Southern farmers that peanuts were a viable cash crop and could also be planted as a rotation crop. Southern agriculture was forever changed due to his influence.
If you are making these in Suffolk, Virginia, you may want to add that Suffolk is the Peanut Capital of the World. My father raised peanuts there for well over 50 years.
- 1 (12 ounce) package butterscotch chips
- 1 cup salted peanuts
- 1 ½ cups chow mein noodles
- Melt butterscotch chips in double boiler.
- Remove from heat and add in peanuts and noodles.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of mixture on wax paper.
- Cool and store in airtight container. (Yields 2 dozen)

Riverton History, DVD
The Romance of Riverton was a silent film made in 1926 and shown for many years at the Broadway Theater at Broad & Leconey Streets in Palmyra. The theater closed in 1967 and the film was given to the HSR in 1978. Through the efforts of the HSR, the Porch Club, Palmyra-Riverton Rotary Club, and concerned individuals, the silent film was transferred to safety film in 1980 and to videotape in 1989. This latest DVD version adds chapters and titles for faster searching. Various public domain music accompaniments have been added as well. A 16-page booklet explains the story line and gives historical context to the film, and is included inside the illustrated DVD case. It is a remarkable 43 minute trip back to old Riverton with trolley cars and steam engines, fire equipment, locations and businesses that have changed, a much downsized Riverton School and much more.
Copies of The Romance of Riverton are available for $20 at the New Leaf Tea Room and Gift Shoppe in Riverton.
revised Feb 2015: Sorry, this item is SOLD OUT and will no longer be available at the New Leaf.

FremantleMedia North America, one of the production companies behind "The X Factor" U.S., has announced that it has named Toby Gorman executive VP of alternative programming, effective mid-April 2014. FremantleMedia North America made the announcement on Jan. 21, 2014.
Gorman, will remain based in Los Angeles, and he will report to FremantleMedia North America chairman/CEO Thom Beers.

Gorman most recently served as co-executive producer and show runner on NBC's "Hollywood Game Night" and "The Winner Is." In addition, he served as executive producer and show runner on the NBC pilot "Surprise Surprise," as well as the Fox series "Mobbed."
Gorman and FremantleMedia have a long history together — for FremantleMedia North America, Gorman served as executive producer and show runner for dating pilot "Take Me Out" for ABC, executive producer of NBC's "Celebrity Family Feud" and as supervising producer for Fox's "American Idol" (Seasons 8 and 9), earning two shared Emmy nominations for Outstanding Reality Competition Program.

Get Me Out of Here!" (ITV1) and "Hell's Kitchen" (ITV1).
Gorman commented in a press release: "Developing and producing shows as a freelancer for FremantleMedia over the last seven years has been the highlight of my career. To be officially joining the company in this new capacity is incredibly exciting for me and I can't wait to get started come mid-April."
Beers added, "FremantleMedia aims to continue to build on its strong presence in reality, game show and other unscripted television, and Toby has earned a wonderful reputation as a terrific series producer and show runner. With his diverse experience, and an attuned eye for the international market, he will be a substantial new member of our team."
Syco Entertainment, which is co-owned by Simon Cowell and Sony Music, is one of the other production companies behind "The X Factor" U.S., which is televised in the U.S. on Fox
Fox is expected to officially announce in May 2014 if "The X Factor" U.S. has been renewed for a fourth season or cancelled.
As previously reported, Fox has also recently made major changes behind the scenes in its alternative entertainment department, which handles Fox reality shows such "The X Factor," "American Idol" and Gordon Ramsay's programs.

Hanock, who will report to Gorman, will be responsible for development and production of reality competitions, game shows and other unscripted television programming.

Starting Over - Again
Friday, November 01, 2013
Congratulations to us! 3 1/2 months ago my husband and I brought home our delightful baby girl. Her big brother is super happy with her, and we are all in love with this amazing little person who has joined our family.
At this point, I am trying to lose all of that baby weight that I gained, and get to a point where I feel really healthy and good in my own skin. Frankly, I'm finding it a little harder to lose the baby weight this time around. With my son, I was living out in the country where there were lots of trails and dirt roads to walk, and a great Siberian Husky to join us in the sunshine. Of course, my son was born in early May, so I had all of the best weather of the summer to inspire my activity. This time around...things are a bit different.
Now I'm living in Portland, OR which is slightly known for the amount of rain it likes to dump on its residents. I like the rain, but it's definitely not the best climate to take a newborn child out into for an early-morning jog. My recovery from the C-section took us into August, and then there was oh so much going on all the time. Now we're in to November and suddenly the cold season is upon us. The time of over-eating, holiday meals and get-togethers centered around food. The time where the very nicest feeling a person has is when they are able to snuggle down into their favorite seat in comfy lounge clothes and just relax. Even people have our version of hibernation!
So...how do I get inspired to be active? How do I find a way to be active with my little girl and my son needing me? Hm, this is going to take some creativity. And energy. That's the one that gets me every time. Energy. I just don't have enough, it seems. Energy or time, for that matter. I mean, I do my best to pack as much into a 24-hour period as I can, but it's just too small a package to fit full-time Mommy, wife, cook, housekeeper, student, lawyer, counselor, employee, and advocate into. So, maybe capitalize on the minutes I can snag here and there? I don't know. We'll see how this goes.
The bottom line is, I'm really, truly dedicated to getting myself healthy and in shape. I'm going to make this happen. I just don't know how long it's going to take.
