Parties spring up around town BY PAM BORDELON| Advocate staff May 10, 2014; 4:13 p.m. Comments Lovely spring weather made party hopping a joy. Wish we could bottle it and pull it out in July. Fortunately, the party scene is pretty slow that time of year. But that sure isn't the case right now. 'Forever St. Elizabeth' For more than 20 years, the St. Elizabeth Foundation has been creating families. The adoption agency celebrated the classes of 1993 and 2003 at its 24th annual "Forever St. Elizabeth" gala May 3 at the LSU Stadium Club. It also presented this year's Pam Kinamore Award to Robin Marrero. Retired obstetrician Dr. Richard Tannehill did the honors. Marrero then joined Executive Director Teri Casso in presenting the Always St. Elizabeth Award to Dean Esposito. As we shopped the very tempting silent auction, sampled the tasty culinary spread and wine provided by Black Castle Winery and visited with friends old and new, we were entertained by the Nick Abraham Xperience. After a toast with complimentary champagne from Bin 77, LSU gymnastics coach D-D Breaux joined auctioneer Robin Wilkinson in conducting the evening's lively auction. Among the items up for bids were tickets to the LSU vs. Alabama football game, a week's stay in Mexico and a "First Born" statue from artist Loran Ghiglieri. Adding to the fun were emcees Gordy Rush and Ruffin Rodrigue. The night wrapped up with a few words from St. Elizabeth founder and board chairman A. Hays Town Jr. Ashley and Todd Blanchard chaired the gala. Amy Rabalais and Katherine May were auction chairwoman, and Erika Rabalais was raffle chairwoman. Also on the committee were Courtney Alonzo, Amelie Bernhard, Frances Bennett, Sue Blanchard, Emma Dozier, Marguerite Dozier, Jennifer Eller, Lillie Gallagher, Sheri Landry, Sharon Lea, Terri LeBlanc, Rebecca Lemoine, Lauren Mercier, Jennifer Mououx, Carolyn Morris, Brooke Reynolds, Cherry Riggs, Aimée Riggs, Mary Stelly, Gay Town, Tammi Town, Terrilyn Turner, Pam Vinci and Marrero. 'Beat the Odds' Frances Bennett wasn't at the St. Elizabeth Gala because she was also on the committee for the Mental Health Association of Greater Baton Rouge's "Beat the Odds" Casino Night & Silent Auction and was busy checking in guests at its event at the Capitol Welcome Center. Not only was there some great shopping via the silent auction but guests also got to play blackjack and craps while benefiting a great cause. The association provides services for people with or at risk for mental health and substance abuse issues. Among its programs are the Alliance House Drop In Center, Alliance House Residential Center and BRIDGES. 'Evening at Windrush' Nothing is more Southern than a garden party, and the LSU Rural Life Museum's "Evening at Windrush" is the ultimate garden party. In the past it's rained and/or been unbearably hot. That was not the case May 2 when Mother Nature fully cooperated. I always remember former LSU President Bill Jenkins telling me, as we sipped Miss Ollie's Punch, how we must always protect this oasis in the middle of our city. One of the people who's worked to make Rural Life and Windrush Gardens the treasure it is is Donna Wright, who was honored as this year's Honorary Overseer. I enjoyed visiting with Director David Floyd, Elizabeth McInnis, Kathleen and Vic Howell, Ann Meek, Roy Powell Davis, Joann e Roberts and Glenda Waguespack as we enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at Windrush. Shortly after I left, everyone meandered to the Visitor Center for a scrumptious dinner prepared by Chef John Folse & Co. Dessert, coffee and cordials were enjoyed in the museum barn. Law Day Earlier Friday, I joined the Baton Rouge Association of Women Attorneys for its 21st annual Law Day Luncheon at the Camelot Club. Each year, this organization recognizes the hard work of local law enforcement officers from both the Baton Rouge Police Department and East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office. This year's honorees were Cpt. R oberta Hotard, a 19-year veteran with the sheriff's department, and Detective Cpl. C harles Dotson, a 14-year veteran with the police department. Assisting BRAWA President Jan Reeves in presenting their awards were Hotard's boss, Maj. Bryan White, and Police Chief Carl Dabadie. This was also one of those years that BRAWA presented its Tribute Award, which is given to an individual "who positively influences the community through his or her outstanding contribution." EBR District Attorney Hillar Moore joined Reeves in presenting the award to ADA Melanie Fields for her work in prosecuting domestic violence cases and murders. In fact, Fields was the one who nominated Dotson as a result of his extra efforts in the war on domestic violence. Seems these two make an imposing team! To view photos, please click here.

A decadent-looking savage has captured Francesca DuVall and her brother, Marsh. Now she must spend every waking moment planning an escape. She didn't count on the powerful draw of desire interfering with her scheme in the camp of the brutal Cheyenne dog soldiers.
Ethan Gray is a curator at a national museum . . . most of the time, but when he travels through time to help his beloved People he becomes Meko, leader of the most revered and feared tribe of the plains. Although their worlds are decades apart Meko can't resist the dark beauty he kidnapped during a raid. He has many battles to fight but none he wants to win more than the one that will capture Cesca's heart forever.
From the windswept plains of Colorado and the harsh life of a Dog Soldier to the placid life of a curator their love was fueled by passion and kindled by destiny.
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Genre: Shifter, Time-Travel, American Frontier, Indian Romance
Single Title/Series: WHERE THE RAIN IS MADE is a single title novel.
Cover Thoughts: Not beautiful but it does effectively convey the many genre elements beneath its cover.
Why I Read It: I was offered a review copy by the author.
My Review:
Ethan Gray leads two lives, one in the present and one in the not so distant past. Pledging his life to the People - the Cheyenne - he travels through time as the raven when summoned and does what he can as I Am The Wind, also known to his Indian brothers as Meko, leader of the Dog Soldiers. Normally, balancing his life as a Washington D.C. curator and that of a Dog Solider comes easily until his recent repeated visions of an ebony haired woman with eyes as green as grass spells change on the wind.
In a blink of an eye, Francesca Duvall's life changes forever when she and her brother Marsh are kidnapped by savages. Instantly spoken for by a beautiful dark warrior, Cesca grapples with her warring emotions of lust and hatred. When it soon becomes apparent that her beloved brother is under the watch of one particularly cruel Cheyenne warrior, Cesca gives little thought to her own survival in her determination to save her brother. When she's offered a pony by Meko as a wedding gift, Cesca grudgingly accepts as a means to an ends. The pony means escape and she bides her time formulating an escape plan for Marsh. In the meantime, her heart has never been in more peril.
Admiring her bravery and fierce will, Meko can't stop his heart from falling in love with Cesca. She calls to his soul and despite the fact that he has a mission to complete - a mission to help the People - he can't stop himself from making the green-eyed beauty his. Knowing that Cesca is the haunting women from his visions, Meko could be following his doom but again, he can't stop his heart. And when Cesca succeeds in freeing her brother and faces punishment by the People, Meko finds that he won't allow another to possess her. Ever.
As Cesca comes to terms with her new way of life, she comes to love the Cheyenne, most especially Meko. Soon her life before amongst her own people seems so distant and almost surreal as if she dreamed it. But even this new life among the People can be ripped away just as easily as blue coats, the white people, move in to brutally rip apart Cesca's new world. Who's the savage now but Cesca still can't understand why the fighting continues. White attack Red and Red retaliate and so the circle of blood continues. While Cesca tries at first to love all there is about Meko including his Dog Solider ways, it's brutally apparent that she doesn't. Wanting the blood to end Cesca must take a side and fight for what she believes in or this new life will be lost forever.
The Heroine:
Fiercely stubborn with an iron-clad will, Cesca is not easily tamed but unlike many Cheyenne, Meko doesn't wish to break her indomitable spirit. A woman that puts all others above her own needs, Cesca nearly dies trying to save her brother. Readily accepting that death will surely be her fate if she succeeds in helping him escape, her life matters naught when faced with an other's potential freedom.
She's a woman that could and would be your best friend for life.
The Hero:
Meko is man torn between his desire to help the People and the bewitching love he's developed for Cesca. If asked to choose, he'd try first to claim them both but in the end, Cesca becomes all that he cares about. He's strong and stable taking each and every blow that Cesca delivers as she adjusts to her new life with him.
He possesses her gently but thoroughly leaving no room to doubt the soul-shattering love he feels for her.
My Final Thoughts:
WHERE THE RAIN IS MADE is a lovely diversion from the paranormal melee that consumes most of the romance genre. Funnily enough, Indian romance is a genre that always surprises me. Why I don't read it more often is beyond me because the few that I have read, including this one, have been great reads that I'd recommend.
Be prepared to learn something about the Cheyenne with this read. Some areas of the book can get a little long, almost like filler pages, but the information is interesting and I enjoyed learning about the culture of this particular tribe.
The time travel element isn't complicated at all and I loved the fact that it didn't trigger my believability radar. Instead it was actually quite beautiful in how it worked with the story.
For romance readers wanting something new, something interesting that gives new light to American culture and history, pick up WHERE THE RAIN IS MADE. The romance is sultry and the love is passionate. Enjoy!

The transition from middle to high school math might not be as daunting for Alexis Tuttle.
Last month she and dozens of other local students took part in some interactive math programs offered for rising freshmen and rising sixth-graders.
"I really want to pass my freshman year, so I wanted to get help with my math and stuff," said Tuttle, who will be attending Midway High School. "Hopefully, it won't be as hard because I'll already know some of it."
Travis Christopher and other members of his crew work on the interior of the new Subway with drive-through in Midtown. Reports are that the new restaurant, which is moving into the former Starbucks location near Pinnacle Pointe shopping center, will be open today, Monday.

Rockwood City Attorney Elmer Rich has bowed out of serving as the ethics officer looking into complaints filed against Vice Mayor Peggy Evans.
Rockwood City Council approved hiring Oliver Springs City Judge Joe Van Hook to conduct the investigation of charges brought against Evans by Rockwood City Recorder Jim Hines in the wake of questions about the insurance bidding process.
Rich believes it's improper for him to serve as the ethics officer because of his role as legal representative to the council.
TVA and Roane County officials will present plans on Tuesday for some of the property TVA purchased in the wake of the 2008 ash spill at TVA's Kingston Fossil Plant.
The meeting will begin with an open house at 5 p.m. in Kingston First Baptist Church's family life center at 215 N. Kentucky St.
Staff from TVA's Kingston Ash Recovery Project will give a formal presentation at 5:30, followed by an informal question-and-answer session.
Officials also plan to discuss restoration of the shorelines and embayments.
Sheriff's deputies found a wanted man hiding in the attic at 525 Mee Drive in Harriman on July 27.
According to the incident report, Stephanie Alred opened the front door and stated she didn't know where anybody was.
"After searching the residence, Mr. Mitchell Roberts was found hiding in the attic," the report said.
Alred was charged with obstruction of justice. Roberts was wanted for violation of probation.
Christopher Taylor, another man who was at the home, was also arrested. He was wanted for failure to appear.
Harriman City Council's first look at the city budget doesn't include many bells and whistles.
The earliest draft calls for no property tax increase.
"I did program in a 3-percent raise" for city workers, said Harriman Treasurer Charles Kerley. "This is included in this target budget I give you here.
Though no tax increase is planned, Kerley said he may recommend rounding up from $1.1933 to $1.20 per $100 valuation. The rounding will make no noticeable difference in people's bills, he added.

While many prescriptions are available in alternative forms, there are limitations due to the unique properties of some compounds. Those limitations include a medication's stability, solubility, palatability, absorption, and legality. Our pharmacy will only custom compound medications in forms that will be safe and effective for companion animals.
Another factor that can affect stability is the interaction between active ingredients. A compounded dosage form's active ingredients may interact adversely with other ingredients, making that compounded dosage form unstable.
Drs. Foster & Smith Pet Pharmacy will only compound prescription medications on a per order basis in forms that are safe and effective for companion pets. Drs. Foster & Smith is not a manufacturer of prescription medications.

Jan. 10, 2012
Editor's Note: The following first appeared in the University of Iowa's Hawk Talk Daily, an e-newsletter that offers a daily look at the Iowa Hawkeyes, delivered free each morning to thousands of fans of the Hawkeyes worldwide.
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- There will be more than a basketball game on Feb. 4 when Penn State visits Carver-Hawkeye Arena. That Saturday will be a special afternoon as the UI men's basketball program will honor the 1986-87 Hawkeyes.
Former UI head coach Tom Davis, and a majority of players and staff from the 1987 team will reunite in Iowa City.
That team, which was the top-ranked team in the country for a number of weeks during the season, set the program's single-season record for wins (30) and was one game from the earning the program's fourth Final Four appearance.
Eight players from the 1987 team ultimately went on to get drafted in the NBA, while others played professionally overseas.
Since last September, the wheels have been in motion by director of basketball operations Jerry Strom in getting this group back together.
"Les Jepsen and I started talking about having a silver anniversary reunion," said Strom. "Les got a positive response after talking with some of his teammates so we decided to move forward. This team had a magical run and is part of Iowa basketball history."
Jepsen, who was a freshman on the 1987 squad, was instrumental in talking to his former teammates and orchestrating the reunion.
"One afternoon, I made a couple phone calls and this all kind of came together," said Jepsen. "I haven't seen a lot of the guys for a long time. We figured now would be a good time to get people together, have them see Iowa's new facilities and get the guys a little more involved in the program."
Players, coaches and staff that are able to make it back that weekend will come together the night of Feb. 3 for a private dinner and social. Fans will have an opportunity to see and meet this illustrious group before the Feb. 4 game. There will be an autograph session of selected players and coaches from 12:30-1:30 p.m. around the concourse. Following autographs there will be a pregame ceremony recognizing the team and its accomplishments.
Jepsen was extremely humble when asked about how excited he was in having the opportunity for this team to be recognized.
"Being honored is a nice gesture, but we'll be there to help support the current Hawkeyes and that's the focal point, not us," said Jepsen. "A lot of these guys lost touch with the program, which is not good. We got away after Tom Davis left. It will be good to get teammates back to support the program."
Not only is that afternoon the silver anniversary reunion for the 1987 team, but it is also "Lettermen's Day", as a number of former Hawkeyes will be in attendance. As an added bonus for fans, the current UI squad will wear special throwback jerseys from the early mid-80's.
"The throwback jersey idea took a lot of work," said Jepsen. "I believe this is a terrific idea by Jerry. We'll merge the past with the present, in a good way."
Sophomore Roy Devyn Marble is particularly excited about donning a jersey that his father, Roy, once wore.
"It should be a memorable moment for my dad and I and both teams," said Devyn. "The throwback jersey is really nice; I can't wait to put it on. It will be a great afternoon."
If you haven't already bought your tickets for this special day, be sure to contact the UI Ticket Office before the game is sold out. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for youths.
In addition to autographs, meeting the team and throwback jerseys there will be a commemorative program and an 80's theme throughout the day.

Foxtail grass contributes lemon and lime striped foliage to brighten up a spring and summer border. Plants spread steadily but are not invasive. Unlike the similar looking Bowles' golden grass which is a shade lover, foxtail grass grows well in the sun or light shade provided the soil is sufficiently moist. If allowed to flower, foxtail grass has unexceptional flower heads which drain the colour from the foliage, and the best way to treat plants is to clip them over in spring to keep them vegetative. They can be left to self-seed in a natural border or cottage garden.

The Creative Campus Initiative
To prepare Bucknellians to solve global challenges, we must foster creative thinking that turns inspiration into innovation and imagination into action.
President John Bravman, faculty members and the Board of Trustees have identified six strategic academic and residential learning priorities. Together, these initiatives will transform the world of learning and growth our students experience and prepare them for the lives Bucknell alumni have always sought - lives filled with action, achievement and fulfillment.
To prepare Bucknellians to solve global challenges, we must foster creative thinking that turns inspiration into innovation and imagination into action.
The success of the Global Learning Initiative will make Bucknell a truly global institution – a portal through which our students engage the world, and a magnet for students, scholars and research and program partners from every destination.
A new and groundbreaking partnership with nearby Geisinger Health System (GHS), a national leader in healthcare delivery and research, gives Bucknell the potential to become a global draw for students and scholars interested in the health sciences.
Today, the School of Management, formally established in 2008, stands poised to enhance further Bucknell's structure as an educator of tomorrow's business leaders.
Our students come together to live, learn, work and become better people in this classic college setting. Bucknellians are achievers, yet exceptionally driven to achieve together.
Organizations around the world are embracing sustainability as a core principle of 21st-century thinking. The questions it invokes go to the heart of Bucknell's mission and call for expertise in fields in which we excel or have special resources.

The Ramayana is one of the two great epics of India, the other being the Mahabharata. The Ramayana is undoubtedly the most popular and timeless Indian epic. This webessay is a very brief account of the Ramayana and I have divided it into various sections. You can click on a sub heading below to reach that part of the essay.
The author
The Ramayana is written in Sanskrit and has 24,000 verses. It is divided into the following seven "kandas" or books.
The characters
There are many characters in the Ramayana. In the table below, I have included only the ones that I have mentioned in the "story" part of my webessay.
The story
The story of Ramayana starts with King Dasratha, the ruler of the kingdom of Kosala with Ayodhya as its capital. Dasratha had three wives namely, Kaushalya, Sumitra and Kaikai. His four sons were Rama, Lakshmana, Shatrughana and Bharata. Rama was Kaushalya's son. Lakashmana and Shatrughana were Sumitra's children and Bharata's mother was Kaikai. A time came when Dasratha decided to hand over the throne to Rama who was the eldest. This was not approved by Kaikai who wanted her son Bharata to be the king.
Kaikai suggested this to Dasratha who declined and said that the norm was that the eldest son inherits the throne. Kaikai reminded Dasratha of a wish he had once granted her. At the time Dasratha had granted her the wish, Kaikai told him that she did not want anything then but shall save the wish for a later time. That time had now come and Kaikai's wish was that her son Bharata should be crowned king and Rama to be banished from the kingdom of Ayodhya for fourteen years.
Dasratha though heartbroken, kept his word and yielded to Kaikai's wish. Bharata too was not happy with his mother's decision but bowed down to circumstances and to the wish of his elders. However, he did not fail in his duty. He begged Rama to give him his sandals. He did not sit on the throne but kept Rama's sandals on it and worshipped them everyday. Rama the obedient son, left Ayodhya with his devoted wife Sita and his dutiful half brother Lakshmana who insisted on accompanying him.
News of them being banished reached the evil king Ravana. Once when Sita was alone in the forest, Ravana abducted her. Rama was devastated. With the help of the monkey god Hanuman, Rama the devoted husband killed Ravana and rescued Sita. This victory is celebrated to this day as the festival of Dussera. Having lived in Ravana's palace, Sita had to prove her loyalty to Rama by going through "agnipareeksha" or "the test of fire." She sat in fire and emerged unscathed thereby proving her purity and loyalty to Rama. Rama, Sita and Lakshmana returned to Ayodhya. This joyful event is celebrated as Diwali to this day. Unfortunately, Rama's subjects continued to question her loyalty to him. Rama the ideal king did not want his people's disapproval and so painfully banished his beloved Sita from his kingdom. Although the story goes a little beyond this, this is the main body of the Ramayana.
The Philosophy
Ramayana embodies the domestic and religious life of ancient India, with all its tenderness, sweetness, endurance and devotion. Sorrow, suffering, trial and endurance are a part of the Hindu ideal of a perfect life of righteousness. Rama and Sita are the Hindu ideals of a perfect man and a perfect woman. Rama suffers for fourteen years in exile, before he ascends the throne of his father. The pious Hindu saw in Rama's life the ideal of a true Hindu life, the success and triumph which follow upon endurance, faith and duty. The tale of Sita was a tale of womanly faith, devotion and self denial which charmed and fascinated the Hindu world. No other character in Hindu imagination is higher and loftier than that of Sita's. She is the highest ideal of womanly love, truth and devotion.
Ramayana teaches us the values of ideology, devotion, duty, relationships, "dharma" and "karma." It has been a perennial source of spiritual, cultural and artistic inspiration, not only to the people of India but also to the people all over the world. It is not just a literary monument, but serves as an integral part of Hinduism, and is held in such reverence that the mere reading or hearing of it, is believed by Hindus to free them from sin and bless the reader or the listener.
Ramayana in today's India
The ancient ideal may seem far fetched in these days but the Ramayana is revered to this day. Mahatma Gandhi called it the "greatest book in the world." Generations of poets were never tired of adding to the descriptions of scenes that were dear to the Hindu and patient Hindu listeners were not and are still not tired of listening to these repetitions. It can be safely said that every individual among the one billion plus living in India today is aware of the Ramayana in some measure or the other. Ramayana 's popularity can be guaged well when India nearly shut down when a dramatized series of the Ramayana appeared on television in the 1980s.

Chang Shuhong Gallery
Chang Shuhong was born in Hangzhou, went for study in France at an early age and returned to teach at the National Art School in 1937. In 1943, he moved his family to remote Dunhuang to pursue his long-cherished art of Mogao Grottos. From then on, he started his 40 years* hard life and artistic creation of Dunhuang, renowned as the ※Guardian of Dunhuang Caves§.
Chang was an accomplished painter. During the early years of his study in France, he created many oil paintings, which brought him gold medals. Even during his laborious times in Dunhuang, he was so struck by everything in the Northwest as to produce a lot of landscape paintings and figure paintings to record his impressions of life and art there. Though only a few of his precious works remained, they are of great value.
In 1999, Chang*s family presented to the Zhejiang Provincial Museum the whole collection of his 240-odd works, including oil paintings, gouaches and sketches. All these works give a basically complete picture of his style. In order to commemorate this great people*s artist, Zhejiang Provincial Museum set up ※Chang Shuhong Gallery§ in Gushan Branch to commemorate him permanently.

Junior opposite Kristina Baum kept a player diary during
Arizona volleyball on the way to L.A.
Arizona volleyball on the way to L.A.
Wow... I just found out I was named not only Pac-10 Player of the Week, but also National Player of the Week. I feel kinda special. Hee hee (girly giggle). I appreciate the accolades and recognition, but this is just the beginning. This is all good news now, but we have work to do and we won't stop till we are in
We just finished practice. I'm eating and thinking about tonight's game against UCLA. It's going to be a good one. I feel like everyone is out to get us since we moved up in the rankings and we had some wins last weekend. I think that's a good thing. It only makes us a better team, playing at a higher level. Nap time.
Our last three matches have been pretty ugly. We haven't been very consistent with our passing. We've been passing just well enough to get it done. By the way, we won tonight in four. We started out the game with no energy, which led to other parts of our game not being very good. We proceeded to handle them after that. If we are saving all of our energy for tomorrow night against USC, we need to step it up big time. We haven't beat USC in the last few years. That needs to change.
Since we are staying in Marina del Rey, our hotel is right by the ocean. Usually, we have practice for an hour the morning of game day to go over our scouting report. Today we didn't. Since we did not have access to a gym, Dave [Coach Rubio] decided to take us all to the beach and walk through our scouting report on the sand courts. At first, I thought he just wanted us to get up and walk around. Then, he told Steve [Coach Walker] and our volunteer assistant coach Dave Thistle to start drawing the court lines in the sand. D-Ru was serious. This is how our morning practice went.
I really have nothing to say. I'm so pissed. We lost in four. This was inevitable. Our last three wins haven't been solid wins. We have not been playing the way we should be playing. Yeah, we have gotten better, but we don't show it by having streaks of good volleyball followed by bad volleyball. Consistency. Consistency. Consistency. We are lacking consistency. Tonight we played poorly enough to lose. We sucked. Period. We handed USC the match on a silver platter and also asked if they wanted a fork, knife and spoon. We have work to do. We also need to learn from our loss and move on. This is the big league. There is no dwelling on past losses or teams will eat you up.
Huskies and Cougars up next ... Hissing cats scare dogs on Halloween, but cat on cat crime just ain't right ... unless you're wild.

Work environments today have multi-generational employees, and the frustration among the age groups is heard loud and clear in many industries. Millennials are asking for balance and flexibility during the job interview. Baby Boomers are vexed by Generation Y and their need to be tethered to technology. Generation X is eager for feedback about their work and also quick to provide criticism of others.
So how does a modern day professional cope with this generational diversity and play well together in the company sandbox? Here is a primer on the generations and their characteristics plus some practical advice for workplace harmony.
Millennials (or Generation Y) born since 1981. This is the most educated and culturally diverse generation in the workforce today. They tend to be zig zaggers, hopping from job to job and distrusting bureaucracy. Millennials crave work opportunities with meaning where they can feel part of the organizational mission and often value helping those in need more than a fat paycheck. They were educated with a focus on community and service learning and value that in their workplace.
Extremely tech savvy, the Millennials identify the concept of work/life balance as their top professional value. Research shows they will sacrifice pay for more vacation time or a flexible schedule, and they crave recognition. In 2014 the Millennials will comprise 36 percent of the workforce, and by 2020, they will represent nearly half of those working.
Millennial Advice for Workplace Détente
· Respect the older generations in your workplace and learn from them. Their knowledge and experience is priceless. Be coachable, be gracious, and appreciative — excellent professional manners and emotional intelligence still matter and will take you far.
·Seek out mentors and sponsors to enhance your professional development.
·Know that discussing work/life balance during the job interview can send a red flag to the employer signaling that you might not have a strong work ethic. Pursue your due diligence and seek out company culture and best fit before you hit the interview.
·Offer yourself as a reverse mentor and share your technology savvy with others less technology-able in your workplace.
·Eye contact is essential for in-person communication and showcases self-confidence. Seek out in-person conversations with your colleagues, and know that the art of face-to-face communication is valued by seasoned professionals. This skill will always serve you well regardless of technology.
·The older generations in your workplace want you to succeed for you are the succession plan. But know that they also want you to earn your way to advancement and recognition so be ready to showcase your professional strengths and work hard.
Generation X born since 1965. This was the first to experience a large percentage of divorce among their parents and to experience working moms during their formative years. This created a generation of individuals who own their independence, resilience, and adaptability. They feel strongly that they don't need supervision or micro managing to get the job done.
The Generation Xers possess multicultural awareness and are comfortable in diverse work environments. They are practical and enjoy a work hard/play hard philosophy in their careers. Many of them faced first jobs in the '80s during an economic downturn, and they witnessed their parents getting laid off or struggling with job insecurity. They reinvented the definition of loyalty and remain committed to their work, but since organizations did not extend loyalty to them, they take employability very seriously and climb the career lattice moving laterally based on the opportunity. The traditional career ladder of upward mobility in one organization became unavailable to them so they created a workaround to be more fluid in their career trajectory.
Generation X Advice for Workplace Détente
· Utilize mentors and sponsors of all generations in your workplace (and beyond) to grow your career and get the solid feedback you crave.

Johnny Hartman: Sleepin' Bee
Sleepin' Bee
Johnny Hartman (vocals)
I Just Dropped by to Say Hello (GRP 176)
Johnny Hartman (vocals), Hank Jones (piano), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Milt Hinton (bass), Elvin Jones (drums).
Composed by Harold Arlen and Truman Capote.
Recorded: New York, October 9, 1963
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
Sometimes the finger-snapping is figurative; here it's literal, but quiet enough to not awaken a sleepin' bee. At little more than two minutes, this track might seem miserly, except it's really all Johnny Hartman needs to convince us that despite their tinsel tackiness, Ring-a-Dings are at heart romantics. Hartman's hushed but torrid baritone, abetted by soundman Rudy Van Gelder's twist of reverb, could melt frozen daiquiris still in the freezer. Hell, it'll curdle your cream at 50 feet. Toast your muffins. Simmer your soup. Sizzle your steak. Warm your cockles. Heat your hearth. Scorch your earth. You get the idea.

"The Transfomers The Movie"
Soundtrack Review
Intrada Special Collection Vol. 263
25 Tracks/Disc Time: 78:13
Grade: C+
In the 80's, "Transformers" was easily one of the more wildly popular cartoons along side the likes of "G.I. Joe", "Thundercats", "Alvin And The Chipmunks" and "He-Man" to name a few. As a young boy growing up during the decade, I can easily tell you that if you were a fan of these cartoons, you easily had the toys and watched the cartoons incessively after school on television along with my friends. So after the success of the series and the toys it was a no-brainer that a "Transformers" movie would no doubt be in the works. The film which was released theatrically by the now defunct (DEG) DeLaurentiis Entertainment Group film company in late Summer 1986 just before the premiere of the shows' upcoming third season. To capatilize on this, the film which most drastic in its' violence and the surprise curse word that was uttered by one of the cartoons favorite characters made the film a separate entity in itself, but would soon change the face of the series soon after by the introduction of new characters and elminating popular ones, which really didn't go over too well at the time.
The film takes place twenty years after season two on the show as is the year 2005. The battle between the heroic Autobots led by Optimus Prime and the evil Decepticons led by Megatron, two warring factions of transforming robots from the planet Cybertron. The Autobots must save their homeworld from an evil entity known as Unicron, who's ready to consume anything that stands in its way. At the same time, they must defend themselves against an all-out attack from the Decepticons with one final battle between Prime and Megatron in which Prime dies which was the subject of controversy for fans of the series back then and a major shock with it introducing "The Matrix of Leadership" the essence of what makes the Autobots go and what Unicron is after, which could help destroy him. Megatron is soon left for dead after being betrayed by Starscream in a power play of Decepticon leadership and reborn as Galvatron after being a second chance at life by Unicron and to help him destroy the Matrix before the Autobots figure out that it is the only way that it would destroy him once and for all. The film featured the voices of then Brat Packer Judd Nelson as Autobot Hot Rod, Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron, Robert Stack as Ultra Magnus and the late Orson Welles as Unicron. The film was not the success that the studio had hoped it would be and would put "G.I. Joe: The Movie", which was already completed by the studio on the shelf only to be released on television and on video soon after.
One of the more and popular aspects of the film for the last three plus decades since the films' release has been the film's soundtrack which featured popular musical anthems "The Touch" by Stan Bush and a nice host of rock artists of the time that made it a hit with both mainstream rock fans as well as soundtrack collectors thanks to the push that Columbia Records gave it. The soundtrack also featured the fun, energetic work of Vince DiCola who had scored mega blockbuster success with "Rocky IV", which featured another best selling soundtrack and a score that featured terrific synthesizer and orchestrial elements but kept the essence of Bill Conti's famous theme. "Transformers The Movie" was a completely different animal as DiCola scored the film primarily and entirely on synthesizers which was a perfect match for the film. Also, incorporating some of the rock elements that were really successful for "Rocky IV", DiCola's score brought energy and freshness to the film that really made the film graduate from its' after school origins to that of a hard core cartoon on the big screen.
The score gets off to a pulsing start with the rather ominous theme for Unicron ("Unicron Attacks") that has the same musical traits from "Rocky IV" in utilizing a reprise of the Drago theme (Rocky's Russian counterpart in that film) and the exceptional track, "War") Then the score gets off to a rockin action start underscoring the rather climatic battle that opens the film between the Autobots and the Decepticons that will alter the Transformers universe for the rest of the film and the following season on the show in the tracks "Autobot/Decepticon Battle", "Prepare For Extermination", and "Optimus Prime Vs. Megatron", with the first two being exceptional highlights of the score with great rocking propulsive action and the latter half of Prime vs. Megatron shifting to a somber tone with the sad demise of the much loved Optimus Prime character and shifting the Matrix of Leadership to whoever the Matrix feels is the right choice. DiCola then returns to the Unicron material while incorporating the rebirth of Megatron as Galvatron ("Megatron Departs", "I Am Unicron") who must serve him after rescuing him from certain death with moody synthesizers shifting musically between the light material and the dark material of Unicron's theme. Soon the Autobots take one final battle for their survival as well as that of The Matrix with a final stand against Unicron and Galvatron ("Decepticon Attack", "Unicron Transforms", "The Matrix" , "Attack On Unicron", "Reunited" and "The Fight Continues") which are really cool rocking tracks with very cool melodies and rhythmic 80's styled action licks that are very enjoyable. "Legacy" is another highlight and is the demo that DiCola submitted to the producers and directors of the film with his ideas on how the score would sound like which features early versions of the Unicron material as well was the rock themes and light material as heard in "The Trial", "Fishing" and "Escape" which is great.
Intrada's special release of the soundtrack is surprisingly the third incarnation of this fine score by the composer after the score had appeared as a Limited Edition CD only available at "Transformers" conventions in the late 1990's and sold out extremely quickly. For years, fans of the film have clammored long and hard for DiCola's invaluable contribution to the film to finally be released publicly aside from the fair representation it got on the original Sony album in 1986 which featured a handful of tracks from his original score. This is the full presentation of the score as it was meant to be heard outside of the film and it is a fun little ride that unfortunately is a bit dated by it's sound and the fact that the film is also very dated, doesn't help it much. I don't mind this sound to be honest with you and I think alot of it is very hip and unique unlike most scores that utilize this sound in this day in age. DiCola had a plan on how to approach the film and it worked to great success otherwise we wouldn't have this release at all today. "The Transformers: The Movie" is a major step back down memory lane and it was fun ride that brought back great memories both good and sad thinking of all those Transformers toys I once had and sadly don't anymore, but Vince DiCola's score more than cures that a bit with this rocking effort. Recommended, Thumbs up.

The city's bus service was honored this week in recognition of the increase in ridership from 2010 to 2011. Acadiana bureau Comments LAFAYETTE —The city's bus service has been recognized by federal officials for a 3.6 percent increase in bus ridership from 2010 to 2011, the City-Parish Traffic and Transportation Department announced this week. The Federal Transit Administration's "Award of Achievement" comes after Lafayette saw the largest percentage increase in bus ridership over that period for small urban areas in Louisiana, a group made up of Lafayette, Monroe, Alexandria, Lake Charles and the Houma area, according to the announcement. Ridership in Lafayette increased from 1,423,573 in 2010 to 1,474,650 in 2011, according to figures from city-parish government. Ridership has increased by 29 percent since 2001, Transit Manager Mike Mitchell said. He attributed that increase in part to a growing population and in part to expanded service areas.

Final Stats | Quotes | Notes
PULLMAN, Wash. - The Washington State University men's basketball team held its opponent under 35 points for the second-straight game as the Cougars defeated Fairleigh Dickinson, 55-33, Tuesday, in the first game of the 2008 Legends Classic's Pullman Regional Round at Friel Court.
"We were a little sluggish offensively," WSU Head Coach Tony Bennett said. "They were a little more patient and physical than Mississippi Valley State. I told our guys at halftime, `your defense has to hold them.' I think we had a little bit of trouble on the glass, but the second half we came out and played well."
The Cougars (2-0) held the Knights (0-2) to just 21.6 percent shooting from the field (11-for-51), including nine percent from beyond the 3-point arc (1-for-11). WSU blocked eight of FDU's shots, marking its second-consecutive eight-block performance of the season. Last year the Cougars' game high for blocks was eight.
Junior Nikola Koprivica led the Cougars with 10 points, while adding two assists, three steals and four rebounds. The Belgrade, Serbia native was the only WSU player in double-figures. Klay Thompson added nine points and three blocked shots, while Caleb Forrest and Aron Baynes chipped in eight points apiece.
Sean Baptiste scored a team-high 10 points for the Knights, coming one rebound short of a double-double with nine boards. As a team FDU registered just one assist.
The Cougars scored first in the game and after a 2-2 tie two and a half minutes into the game, exploded to a 17-5 lead with 9:35 left in the first half. At the half WSU held a 26-15 advantage. WSU came out strong to start the second half with a 15-2 run in the first seven minutes, holding a 43-17 lead.
Despite a 7-0 FDU run toward the end of the game, the Cougars went on to a 55-33 victory.
"I think Coach really challenged us to come out the right way," WSU senior Taylor Rochestie said. "In the first half we had some times where we kind of went up and down, up and down. It was important for us to establish the right mentality in the second half. We wanted to come out and make it tougher on them to score."
WSU will be back in action Friday as it hosts Sacramento State, Friday, Nov. 21 at 6 p.m. at Friel Court.

Disease Proof
Frederick Conroy's Story
Frederick Conroy of Colorado shares his success on the Eat to Live diet:
If life is a journey, and we stop along the way to meet and dance and share knowledge and experience, the road I have been on is a search to learn how to eat properly.
This is my tale. It begins in the row houses of suburbia, with long green lawns kept up with Scott's fertilizer and new paint jobs every eight years. It is the computer age, the age of pollution and throwaways, a time when man was learning to live in natural harmony and rhythm with his world.
Have you ever woken up feeling disoriented, in the doldrums, without any energy or direction in your life? This is the state I found myself in until I met Dr. Fuhrman and I changed my lifestyle to conform to his system of natural health.
Since my twenties I had read in magazines or seen on the TV stories of people whose lives have been changed simply by the food they eat. Whether it was the nutritional advice of Adelle Davis, with her advice on whole grains or vegetables; or William Dufty in Sugar Blues, warning about the dangers of sugar and diabetes; or Frances Moore Lappe whose Diet for a Small Planet warned of the dangers of an overpopulated world of hungry malnourished people, if we continue our dependence on a national diet based on the standards of the cattlemen and dairy industries. I was interested and attracted to the logic and reasoning of the arguments made by the proponents of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, beans and other natural foods because of 1—the direct link between good nutrition and health and 2—the negative effects of fast foods, junk food.
My family history also played a key role in the decision-making process I made about my health in my adult life. My father grew up in a blue-collar Irish community in New Jersey. His family lived and worked in one of the most developed and industrialized cities in the world. Smokestacks, railroads, yards of thrown away tires and automobiles, rivers with debris which became polluted with chemicals and undrinkable. Growing up in the 1930s and 1940s they made every mistake possible. My father and his peers smoked filterless Camel cigarettes, drank alcohol, and in his youth my father pumped gas. Success was measured not by your health and living in a countryside of beauty and peace, but cars, apartments, drinking and lack of inhibition. Economics certainly do play a role in our medical hygiene and history. After World War II my father and most of his peers pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to a middle class lifestyle, moving from the blue collar homes to the suburbs.
My mother's family was a mix of German and English roots. She grew up in a New Jersey of lawn parties, canoe clubs, golf, and private schools, and even during the depression her father worked. My mother had marked good eating habits, did not smoke and drank in moderation. She was well educated. She also was active physically, and encouraged all of her offspring to exercise daily, whether it was skiing, bicycles, tennis, or marathon running.
As a result of their ecology, my father and two of my uncles died young of cancer. Today diabetes runs rampant through my remaining family, and they have serious problems with obesity and heart disease.
I was on my own trying to learn how to eat correctly. There are so many negative influences out in the world, whether it is peer influence to use alcohol, to be a couch potato, the cafeteria food we were served in high school and in universities, or the mess hall food in the Army, high in calories, low in essential fresh whole foods-—a diet centered on meat, flour, oil and sugar; not vegetables and fresh fruit. There is also the negative influence of media, television and billboards promoting fast food, soda, cookies and candies for instant gratification.
When I reached my mid-forties I had a wake up call and all of this caught up with me I developed bloody diarrhea. I got so nervous I checked myself into the Strang Cancer Center in NYC, and I thought I might die. The symptoms really frightened me. I was told I needed medications to stop the bleeding.
I was at a dead end. I was frightened and lost. I tried changing my diet and symptoms only intensified. I then did a very interesting thing which changed my life forever. I went to the book shop, and I was browsing books on medical care. Then I saw Dr Fuhrman's book, Fasting and Eating For Health. I thought awesome; it remains one of the best books I have read in my life. What could be in this? Was it a traditional Indian method of healing? Had this tradition ever been successful with people in the culture I had grown up in? It sounded like tough talk, that only a strong person would be successful at this. Yet, I was attracted to the logic of Dr. Fuhrman's arguments.
I bought the book and I began the road to recovery, immediately my symptoms disappeared. More importantly, there were no scars—or residual problems that continue after this experience.
Now ,after reading Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live, I am hooked for life. I knew this was what I needed. I think I read the entire book in about four days, it was so interesting. It remains one of the most influential and best written books of my life. Because of Dr. Fuhrman my faith in self-healing has developed to a much deeper and mature level. I believe I was guided to Dr. Fuhrman by some inner compass some sixth sense that is divine inside me. I have tried to deepen my understanding why I reached this particular conclusion, and perhaps it is because I believe in the experience of déjŕ vu. Maybe I have been here before.
As my health came back to me, I began to run long distances, and gradually became involved in running several half marathons and longer distances. Sometimes I feel like my life is similar to that of Diogenes, the Greek who went in search of an honest man, by carrying a lamp in broad daylight throughout Athens. From the beginning everything was right here. If I had not failed, not suffered, I would never have discovered the answer to all my health questions and the healthiest way to live and eat. I have found that when things are their worst, if we believe and sincerely search, there is an answer, a light.
On another level, I am also a little wiser now for the disinformation which was the reason that I came to this point. I believe that we should have a mature education system in this country where true information on nutrition and diet and health are available to people who want to change. This information should and would be in the hands of the media; we would blitzed by information on whole foods and vegetables; and their effect on our lives—physically, mentally, psychologically, and spiritually. This information would be on the radio, computer, TV and billboards. There would not be the need for hospitals that we have today, nor would we rely on surgery and drugs in order to correct problems which primarily arise from the foods we eat. We would learn to eat correctly as the first step to recovery, as the basic building block to a healthy world.
This is a really good article. Here in Oregon the Oregon Health Plan is having trouble delivering healthcare to low income people. One solution that has been proposed is to set up a program to educate/motivate people to change to healthier lifestyles. This sounds good to me.
Thank You Mr. Conroy for the fine article. It raises the question of our own domestication process, as we are raised by our parents. Loving parents pass along thier paradigm out of thier love. Maybe better to pass along the ability to reason and find out our own truths.
My whole childhood our Easter basket( to be blessed) contained ham ,kielbasi, butter, eggs and horse radish the church traditional foods. Where is the mechanism for change?? Today its the same.
I like Mr. Conroy came to realise that eating this stuff did not work. The path eventually ( through many others ) led to Dr. Fuhrman's books. It really works.....No Kidding. The power of green and red and all the produce.
To those that want to follow Barry Groves or Atkins , have at it. It is your right. My own family anecdotes tell me it will lead to disease but maybe not for you. It you want to eat rotting flesh, go for it. The vegetable route sends almost immediate feed back from the body.
The point is what ever one decides it should be from within one's self. THINK.
Thank You Mr. Conroy for sharing your dance. Regards to All, Peter Bircsak
PS: Maybe someday the hospitals wont be adding on wings but changing them over to produce marts. :-)

Freshman Polina Dozortseva has a two-match singles winning streak heading into this weekend.
Feb. 14, 2014
CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Southern Illinois women's tennis team is set to host Chicago State and Murray State this weekend at Sports Blast. The dual with the Cougars is slated for 10 a.m. on Saturday while the matchup with the Racers is set for 1 p.m. on Sunday.
The Salukis met both Murray State and Chicago State last season, defeating each of the schools, 6-1.
SIU (1-3) comes into this weekends matches having played a tough early season schedule. The Salukis travelled to Arkansas to take on the ITA ranked Razorbacks and North Texas in a doubleheader earlier this spring.
The Salukis picked up their first win of the season last weekend with 6-1 victory over Austin Peay. Freshman Meagan Monaghan has had the hot hand for Southern early on this spring. Last week the Denver, Colo. native posted four wins during the weekend. Fellow Saluki, Natasha Tomishima also has two singles wins on the season.
