NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says he "fundamentally disagrees" with former league boss Paul Tagliabue's decision not to discipline players in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal.
Speaking after an owners meeting Wednesday in the Dallas area, Goodell said he respected his predecessor's decision to vacate a yearlong suspension of linebacker Jonathan Vilma and shorter bans for three other current and former Saints players.
But Goodell said players deserved to be punished as much as New Orleans coaches and management. He said he held "everyone responsible."
In an NFL appeal ruling Tuesday, Tagliabue tossed the suspensions, saying the punishment was too heavy-handed. But he affirmed much of the probe's findings that the Saints, including Vilma, had an improper cash-for-hits program and tried to cover it up.
Cardinals: Arizona placed quarterback Kevin Kolb (rib injury) on injured reserve and named rookie Ryan Lindley as starter for Sunday against Detroit.
Eagles: Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy have been ruled out for the game against Cincinnati on Thursday because of concussions.
Vikings: Punter Chris Kluwe says he's been fined $5,250 by the NFL for wearing a message on his uniform promoting Ray Guy for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Seahawks: Wide receiver Sidney Rice has a bruised foot, is in a walking boot and could be in question for Sunday's game against Buffalo in Toronto.
Etc.: A judge in Dallas sentenced former Cowboys linebacker Eugene Lockhart Jr. to 4½ years in federal prison for taking part in a multimillion-dollar scheme to swindle home lenders and potential home buyers with fraudulent mortgages.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Georgia's Mark Richt was among five NCAA head coaches who met with President Bush today after recently returning from a week-long visit to military bases in the Middle East.
The coaches, who made the trip to boost troop morale, coached a flag football game on one base.
Joining Richt on the tour of military bases were: Randy Shannon of the University of Miami; Jack Siedlecki of Yale University; Tommy Tuberville of Auburn University; and Charlie Weis of Notre Dame.
The coaches visited military personnel in Germany, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and aboard the USS Nassau on a trip coordinated by the Defense Department.
The president met with the coaches after giving a Memorial Day speech to military figures, veterans and their families at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Origins Available: German, Scottish
The name Mann was first used by the ancient Strathclyde-Briton people of the Scottish/English Borderlands. The first Mann family lived in Aberdeen.
The surname Mann was first found in Aberdeenshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain), a historic county, and present day Council Area of Aberdeen, located in the Grampian region of northeastern Scotland, where they held a family seat from ancient times.
Surnames that evolved in Scotland in the Middle Ages often appear under many spelling variations. These are due to the practice of spelling according to sound in the era before dictionaries had standardized the English language. Mann has appeared as Mann, Mangus, Man and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Mann research. Another 216 words (15 lines of text) covering the years 1399, 1411, 1431, 1472, 1533, 1597, 1606, 1625, 1641, and 1790 are included under the topic Early Mann History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
More information is included under the topic Early Mann Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Some of the Mann family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 225 words (16 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
The North American colonies beckoned, with their ample land and opportunity as their freedom from the persecution suffered by so many Clan families back home. Many Scots even fought against England in the American War of Independence to gain this freedom. Recently, clan societies have allowed the ancestors of these brave Scottish settlers to rediscover their familial roots. Among them:
Mann Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Mann Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Mann Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Mann Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Mann Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Mann Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Mann Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
Mann Historic Events
Halifax Explosion

HMS Hood
HMS Prince of Wales
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Per ardua stabilis
Motto Translation: Firm in adversity.
Other References
The Mann Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Mann Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Hmm…my Meijer wouldn't let me use the Bisquick Mperk and coupon. They said the changed the Mperk policy so that you can't stack perks with manufactures coupons. I see on Mperks that some are store coupons and some are labeled manufactures coupons. Could someone check to see if the Bisquick coupon was labeled manufacturer or store, please!?
It is a store coupon
Mine says its a store coupon!!
Bisquick says "Store Coupon"
I would try to use your manufacturer coupons first,then input your mperks. I know when I found out about the stacking with mperks,it never worked for me,because I was entering the mperks before the manufacturer coupons. Worth a try!
It is labeled as a store coupon.
The bisquick coupon on the mperks is a store coupon. Contact corporate and let them know the store is not following their own policy and they will probably connect you with the store manager for the store you went to. ALWAYS take their coupon policy in with you when you go.
It's a store coupon!
Just checked my account, and the Bisquick coupon clearly says "STORE COUPON" right on the bottom of it. What a shame they gave you such trouble. YOU WERE RIGHT!
Cara- I had the same problem. I even spoke with the MGR who showed me the "latest" policy and it clearly states that mperks can not be combined with any other type of coupon, even MQ. This was at the Washington twp 26 mile store. I can't keep up with all the changes as their policy has undergone so many revisions lately. Hopefully someone will be able to further clarify. Thanks.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. I agree, Lisa. I can't keep up with the changes. I had contacted my Meijer and got two different answers. I even contacted a different branch and they gave me yet another answer. When I called the online customer service they told me that it was up to each individual store's discretion. UGH!
I had the same thing happen, first transaction I did mperks first and then when I tried to use my manufacturer coupon it said I couldn't use both. Then on the 2nd transaction I did mperks last and it worked fine. I think its just a glich in their computer systems.

Lady Gaga 'egged on' in Australia
Offended fans pelted Lady Gaga with eggs at a concert in Sydney on Wednesday. The outburst was in response to her recent appearance on stage in a wheelchair during a performance of the rock ballad "Yoü and I". The pop queen has previously used wheelchair imagery in her music video for "Paparazzi" and her performance of that song on the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Gaga had already angered members of the handicapped community in this country before the incident on Wednesday.
Gaga herself was reportedly missed by the incoming fire, however members of her band weren't as fortunate.

Roger defends his title!
It is real – Roger overcame an inspired Fernando Gonzalez to win the Australian Open finals 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 capturing his 10th Grand Slam title! 15'400 spectators in Rod Laver Arena experienced a haunting Grand Slam final between our champion and a very agile and aggressive playing Gonzalez. But Roger once again showed his brilliance and is the first to win a title on a major tournament without dropping a set since Bjorn Borg in 1980. He now has been undefeated for the last 36 official matches, which is a personal record.
Roger, who was rather nervous at the beginning, struggled with windy conditions and was about to drop the first set when Gonzalez had two set points at own serve. In this crucial moment, Roger was able to turn the tide and broke Gonzalez to 6-6, forcing him into tiebreak. Roger rebounded quickly and showed his concentration and dominance prevailing the opening set 7-6 (2).
It then was about who would make fewer mistakes and the advantage went to Roger, who controlled the match thenceforward. Gonzalez committed nine more unforced errors than Roger and three times he double-faulted.
Keeping his service game consistent, Roger delivered winners 82 percent of the time on his first serve while his second serve resulted in winners an impressive 76 percent of the time.
"I'm happy that I was able to win the match in straight sets, although spectators sometimes wish to see a match over five sets." Roger said. "Fighting off Gonzalez' set points and dominating in the tiebreak was deciding for the match. Gonzalez played different today so it was kind of difficult to read his game at the beginning. But then I new Gonzalez would have to react after the first set and that's how I got back at control."
Roger improved his career record to 10-0 against Gonzalez but clearly this was the most difficult victory. Our champion was coming off a 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 dismantling of Andy Roddick and facing an opponent who had never played in a Grand Slam semifinals match much less a finals before play began at the 2007 Australian Open. It took him two hours and twenty minutes to finally shake the ninth ranked Gonzalez and capture the Australian Open Championship. The victory pushed Roger's all time record in Grand Slam final's events to 10-1.
Congrats! Get some rest, both physically and mentally, but not for too long! Then start getting ready for the clay!
You can do it!
Raymond K
At 2,3 or 4 Opens per year, you'll get Pete by 2008.
Kind regards,
Fantastic job! I watched the match on ESPN2 Sunday afternoon. I already knew you had won, but I was happy to see the match beginning to end. I was happy to see you work the net more, and those volleys and laubs were outragious. I was glad to
I support you for eternal times!
Love and hugs,
Cori USA
Your tennis was perfect and you are the best.
I'm really proud to be your fan and have such a joy watching you on the court. You make our lives a little happier with every win, with every title.
Be healthy and continue

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Transformation Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Section.Paragraph). Within each chapter you will find unnumbered sections. These sections are separated by asterisks; in our citations, we've numbered these sections for simplicity's sake.
Quote #7
His throat ached with a desire to cry aloud, the cry of a hawk or eagle on high, to cry piercingly of his deliverance to the winds. This was the call of life to his soul not the dull gross voice of the world of duties and despair, not the inhuman voice that had called him to the pale service of the altar. An instant of wild flight had delivered him and the cry of triumph which his lips withheld cleft his brain. (4.3.18)
The spiritual transformation that Stephen undergoes is tied here to a visceral sense of physical transformation as well – we have a brief and dazzling sensation that Stephen is turning into the wild, winged man of his imagination.
Quote #8
It is a curious thing, do you know, Cranly said dispassionately, how your mind is supersaturated with the religion in which you say you disbelieve. Did you believe in it when you were at school? I bet you did.
I did, Stephen answered.
And were you happier then? Cranly asked softly, happier than you are now, for instance?
Often happy Stephen said, and often unhappy. I was someone else then.
How someone else? What do you mean by that statement?
I mean, said Stephen, that I was not myself as I am now, as I had to become. (5.3.86)
The declaration that Stephen's transformation was necessary indicates that perhaps the person he is now is who he was somehow destined to be all along.


text: No one knows for sure but even assuming the general public has never heard of Khan even peripherally it could still potentially have stoked the hype machine from those who do. I do think that if you can excite the media it can spill over to the unwashed masses. I don't know that this would've happened but I think it's at least possible.

Despite the fact that heart disease is the number one killer of women, research has shown that many women don't think it can happen to them, and miss the warning signs. Plus, women often don't have the same symptoms as men during a heart attack. Here are Rosie's symptoms, as she described in her blog, along with other heart attack symptoms common to women, according to women's heart health researcher and educator Pamela Stewart Fahs, professor and Decker Chair in Rural Nursing at Binghamton University's Decker School of Nursing.
1. "i had an ache in my chest"
"In the research I reviewed, about 78 percent of women who have survived a heart attack said they had some type of chest sensation, whether it was discomfort, aches or pain," says Fahs, who is collaborating with Melanie Kalman, associate professor and director of research, and Margaret Wells, assistant professor in the College of Nursing at SUNY Upstate Medical University, on "Matters of Your Heart," a project that aims to educate women about heart attack symptoms. "Women under 75 are more likely to report chest ache than crushing chest pain, which is more common among men," she adds.
2. "both my arms were sore"
"Radiating pains is one of the common symptoms," says Fahs. "About 50 percent of women who have survived a heart attack had some discomfort to the back, jaw or arms."
3. "i became nauseous," "i threw up"
"This doesn't happen as frequently as some of the others — a little more of a third of women who survived a heart attack said they had nausea, and may or may not have thrown up," Fahs says.
4. "my skin was clammy," "i was very very hot"
"Sixty-one percent of women who survived a heart attack said they were cold, clammy or sweaty," Fahs says.
One heart attack symptom common to women that Rosie did NOT report experiencing was unusual fatigue that isn't relieved by rest. "Overwhelming fatigue is experienced most often by women; 67 percent of women survivors of heart attacks report experiencing unusual fatigue," says Fahs. Breathing difficulties, described by Fahs as a sudden shortness of breath not due to exertion, are also common.
Rather than calling 911 right away when she started having symptoms, Rosie waited until the next day to see a cardiologist — a big mistake, Fahs says. "I wouldn't advise anyone to wait 24 hours. If you have chest discomfort and/or any reason to think you might be having a heart attack, call 911 immediately," she adds.
But one thing Rosie did RIGHT was to take a Bayer aspirin, Fahs says. "The American Heart Association recommends taking an aspirin," Fahs says (but they advise calling 911 first; the operator will help you decide if aspirin is right for you).
Rosie's left anterior descending artery (a branch of the coronary artery) was diagnosed as 99 percent blocked, and a stent was put in. Now, Rosie is urging other women to "know the symptoms" and to "CALL 911″ — and Fahs thinks she really can make a difference.
"A woman being public about having a heart attack will bring awareness to the issue and hopefully will help other women," she says.

July 15, 1999
The mass M of a universe is less than the sum m1 + m2 + . . . of its constituent masses, due primarily to negative potential energy when masses get near each other. The question is how much less. Classically, the total mass could actually be negative if the constituent masses get close enough together. In general relativity, masses cannot get small enough to get that close together: they become black holes and stay a certain size. In 1979 R. Schoen and S.-T. Yau proved that the total mass of a universe must be positive. Last year G. Huisken and T. Ilmanen proved that the total mass is at least as large as the largest constituent mass: M m1. Finally this year H. Bray of MIT proved that M sqrt (m12 + m22 + ...). These results are forms of the so-called Penrose Conjecture.
Note. Actually, mass is hard even to define in general relativity and requires much more care than we have been able to take here.
OLD CHALLENGE (Joe Shipman). Abel writes down two distinct positive integers from 1 to 4. Beta sees one of them at random and tries to guess whether it is the larger of the two. What are Beta's chances? (What if Abel can choose from more numbers?)
ANSWER. Elliot Kearsley and Jean-Pierre Carmichael explain that if Abel picks the integers from 1 to 4 at random, Beta can win 5/6 of the time by guessing that a 3 or 4 is the larger (and that a 1 or 2 is not). He is always right about the 4 or 1, and right 2/3 of the time about the 3 or 2, for a 5/6 winning average. Similarly with integers from 1 to N (say N even), by guessing that any number larger than N/2 is the larger, Beta can win with probability (3N-2)/(4N-4), which checks out to be 5/6 when N = 4 and which approaches 3/4 as N increases.
Joseph DeVincentis further explains that Abel can do better by picking only consecutive integers at random. For example, from integers from 1 to 4, he could pick randomly from {1,2}, {2,3}, (3,4}. Now Beta's strategy wins just 2/3 of the time. As N increases, Beta's chances approach 1/2, no better than guessing at random.
In the final word, Arthur Pasternak points out that against this particular strategy of Beta's, Abel could actually do better. For example, Abel could always pick {1,2} and Beta would be correct only the half of the time she saw the 1. To prevent this Beta must introduce some randomness. For general N, her best strategy is to state that the number K she sees is the higher number with probability (K-1)/(N-1). Now Abel can not improve on his strategy, and Beta will still win with probability N/2(N-1), which starts at 2/3 when N = 4 and approaches 1/2 as N gets large.
Pasternak proposes the following
NEW CHALLENGE. Abel and Beta are each given a box containing cash. It is known that one box contains 10 times the cash that is in the other box. They are give the opportunity to swap boxes. Abel reasons as follows:
Assume I have 10X in my box. Then the other box has either X or 100X with equal probability. If it has 100X, I will gain 90X by swapping; if it has X, I will lose 9X. Therefore I expect to gain 40.5X by swapping boxes.
This seems logical but, of course, Beta reasons the same way and concludes that she is better off swapping as well. Can they both be right?

Harley-Davidson Seeks Young Buyers At Concerts
Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson recently launched its H-D Golden Horse Saloon at the Rockstar Mayhem Festival last weekend in San Bernardino, Calif. The move reflects the company's strategy of marketing to young, edgy potential customers.
The festival includes Korn, Rob Zombie, Lamb of God, Five Finger Death Punch and several other bands. The Saloon tent has a full bar, lounge and video games. The company had a similar setup at last month's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn.
Fans who stopped by the Saloon last weekend got a first look at a one-off Harley-Davidson Dark Custom Fat Bob built with help from Fieldy, the bass player from rock group Korn. The company says Fieldy, who is an avid motorcyclist, worked for more than 42 hours with its design to put the special bike together.
Harley's concert connection is part of a larger marketing campaign aimed at attracting younger customers to its line of edgy Dark Custom motorcycles. Models including the Forty-Eight, Fat Bob, Cross Bones and Nightster have a minimalist look that typified custom motorcycles of the 1950s and 1960s. They are meant to appeal to riders in their 20s through 40s.

A Morgan County woman died Thursday after a single-vehicle accident in Stockport.
Crystal D. Hoover, 29, of Stockport, was pronounced dead at Marietta Memorial Hospital after the 10:30 a.m. accident, said Lt. Mary Pfeifer, commander of the Ohio Highway Patrol's Marietta post.
Hoover was traveling south on Market Street, about half a mile from Ohio 266, when her 1998 Chrysler Intrigue went off the left side of the road and through a fence.
"She went airborne over a creek, striking a creek embankment," Pfeifer said.
Both front airbags deployed in the crash, according to the patrol. Hoover, who was not wearing a seat belt, was trapped in the vehicle and had to be extricated by mechanical means.
Hoover was taken by MedFlight helicopter to Memorial.
The crash remains under investigation. Pfeifer said it is unclear why Hoover's vehicle left the roadway.
There was no indication of alcohol contributing to the crash, but standard blood tests were taken. Pfeifer said it will be several weeks before the results are available.
Friday's crash is the second fatality the Marietta post has investigated this year in Morgan County. In each case, the individual killed was not wearing a seat belt.
"Safety belts have been proven to reduce the extent of injuries" in crashes, Pfeifer said.
Pfeifer noted people can be ticketed for not wearing a seat belt; however, vehicles cannot be pulled over simply because a passenger is not wearing a belt.

Pedro Pereira had the winning goal and an assist to lead Oklahoma Baptist to an unlikely berth in the Sooner Athletic Conference championship game after a 2-1 win at Wayland Baptist Tuesday. The Bison, seeded seventh, will play at John Brown in Siloam Springs, Ark., Friday for a berth in the NAIA opening round. OBU claimed the win in overtime, avenging a regular-season home loss to the Pioneers. The Bison got on the board in the first half when Rodrigo Lopes headed in a cross from Pereira in the 41st minute. Miguel Teos beat the defense and scored from 27 yards out to tie the game in the 75th minute. The game went to overtime, and Pereira knocked down a penalty kick 7:32 into OT. Marcus Oliveira had three saves to pick up the win. OBU put seven shots on goal, including four by Pereira and one each by Lopes, Felipe Souza and Tito Silva. The Bison last played in the SAC Championship game in 2010, when they beat Oklahoma City, 2-1. Note: Report provided by Ray Fink, OBU sports information director.

Last night was the final game of the preseason for the Los Angeles Lakers. And they lost it. Just like they had in their previous seven preseason games, the Lakers couldn't quite get over the hump and lost. The team is battling injuries and has not had its full team together for virtually the entire preseason. They've been without Kobe Bryant, Jordan Hill, and Dwight Howard at different times this preseason.
According to Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times, Hill is trying to work his way all the way back. For now, though, he is just playing as much as he can when he's cleared - which includes the last two games for the Lakers. So, Los Angeles has Dwight Howard and Jordan Hill back, but they have lost Kobe Bryant for the last three games and possibly the season opener.
The Lakers open the season against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks understand injury concerns as their best player, Dirk Nowitzki continues to sit after knee surgery. Los Angeles is looking to put together another championship run. They've proven this with their offseason acquisitions of Howard and Steve Nash. However, injuries can derail a championship run in a heartbeat.
Bryant's injury isn't expected to keep him sidelined for long. But if the Lakers guard does have to miss more than just the opener, the Lakers could be in trouble,

Memoirist-advice columnist Cheryl Strayed wins hearts and minds at Arts & Letters Live event
If you missed last night's Arts & Letters Live speaker, Cheryl Strayed, at the Dallas Museum of Art, I'm so sorry. I recommend you go now, RIGHT NOW, to your local bookstore or online outlet and order her books immediately. Go ahead, I'll wait. The 44-year-old novelist, memoirist and advice columnist thoroughly enchanted a sold-out and overflow audience in the DMA's Horchow Auditorium (she graciously tweeted a "thanks to to all of you who filled those gorgeous blue velvet seats" after her talk).
I had read only a short bit of Strayed's 2012 memoir, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail, about her trek — both physical and emotional — along 1,100 miles of mountainous terrain — in 1995. I was planning to read it soon (and now I will devour it), interested because Strayed, like me, lost her mother far too young, and her journey turned into a metaphorical exploration as well as a literal one, "the need to move forward regardless of the burden" I was 40 when my mom passed away, so I had many more years with my beloved parent than Strayed did; her mom died when she was 22. But the feelings of the motherless tribe, as she calls us, tend to coincide, no matter what age you are when you lose your mom. Here's freelance writer Edward Nawotka story for us about the Texas connection to Wild.
Strayed read passages from the book that had us simultaneously laughing hysterically and tearing up from her dead-on strikes at emotional targets. Her husband, she says, calls her a "truth machine," and indeed, she didn't balk from telling on herself — promiscuity, drug use, the tendency to overpack — in sometimes unflattering detail. She amused the Dallas audience with her observation that this was the only introduction she had gotten, in more than a year of touring for Wild (which just came out in paperback), in which her past as a high-school homecoming queen was mentioned. ("If I had known, I would have brought my tiara," she said. "This is Texas, you guys just walk around wearing tiaras, right? I tried to make my hair especially big.")
You'll be hearing more about Wild soon; best-selling author and screenwriter Nick Hornby is adapting the book for a movie, and Reese Witherspoon is set to play Strayed in the film.
Strayed also talked about Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Life and Love From Dear Sugar, a collection of her work as the advice columnist for therumpus.net. Her friend Steven Almond, the original Sugar, asked her in 2010 if she'd like to take over a job that didn't pay anything, had no following, and that he was no longer interested in doing. Of course, she said "sure." Oh, and she'd never even taken Psychology 101. So she decided, she says, "to put the full force of my humanity" into the column. No kidding — I started reading the book at about 10 p.m., when I got home from the DMA. Three hours later, I finished it, after having underlined at least half the book (and I usually keep my books pristine, but I knew immediately I'd want to keep this one and refer back). For someone so young, Strayed has amassed amazing stores of wisdom. I'd compare her most closely to Anne Lamott, who also dispenses life-altering sagacity spiced with wit. I warn you, after reading the book, you'll be struck with an instant longing, if not sheer need, to take Strayed to lunch (as one DMA attendee offered) and let her pour her honey-toned honesty over all your life's problems. She just became one of my Life Heroes.

BlogDash has been helping brands and bloggers connect since 2011.
Focusing on open communication and building real relationships, we created an easy-to-use Blogger Outreach Software platform to streamline communication between PR agencies/brands and bloggers.
We, like you, have performed blogger outreach for a long time. We know a lot of time is involved in finding appropriate bloggers, gathering information, engaging with them and finally pitching them. Our mission has been to simplify this process and turn blogger outreach into a viable PR mechanism for any brand.
Bloggers have the power of influence over many market segments for just about any product or service. Through their rapport with their readers, they can command a mass migration toward your brand, or a mass exodus away from it. Blogger outreach gives you the opportunity to tap into that rapport and bring your brand positive attention from those who matter most. 99% of the time, these bloggers are open to receiving targeted and valuable opportunities and will pass them on to their audience in the blogosphere as well as through social media.
The problem is that there hasn't been an easy way for brands to determine a blogger's willingness to review and perhaps promote a product or service. With BlogDash, you can be sure that both you and your target bloggers are on the same page from engagement to article posting.
At BlogDash, we set out to change the face of blogger outreach by providing point and click access to over 200,000 bloggers, powerful search facilities, and detailed relationship tracking and monetization functions. To that end, we've put together a team of unparalleled experts to help make our mission a reality.
If your product or brand needs highly targeted incredibly enthusiastic traffic, there's nothing that can deliver like blogger outreach. And when your next PR campaign calls for blogger outreach, we hope you turn to BlogDash, where bloggers and brands come together.
BlogDash CEO
We had a hard time executing our blogger outreach campaigns, so we decided to create a platform to streamline communication between bloggers and businesses.

The history of Pennsylvania's equity suit PARSS v. Casey follows the path of many of the other equity suits over the past 23 years. A group of poor people, or poor school districts see that their children are not being afforded the same educational opportunities as those youngsters in wealthier areas of the state. They approach both the legislative and executive branches of their state governments and receive no redress of their grievances. As a last attempt at amelioration of the problem, the approach the judicial branch for remediation.In some cases, the court system sees validity of their claims and in some, the system is upheld as constitutional. Some of the cases go on for over 20 years and some are settled in 4 or five years. The results of each of these cases are not consistent. In the first case of this kind, in state court, Serrano v. Priest (California), the case led to a complete property tax reform system culminating in Proposition 13. Although expenditures per student are less disparate, the California model does not produce the equal opportunity for students that it so ardently desired.
The New Jersey case Robinson v. Cahill and its children Abbott v. Burke (1,2,3), have taken over twenty years to complete and have not, as yet, achieved the desired results. The funding of schools has been changed and there are indications that the additional funds to poor urban districts are having some affect, but there is no solid evidence that this is a system that will succeed.
The Kentucky case Council for Better Education et. al v. Collins is more of a model for Pennsylvania than many of the other states. Kentucky has many rural and urban areas that need help, and wealthy suburban areas, as does Pennsylvania. The results of the Kentucky case were more far reaching than any other in the country. Not only was the funding and taxation system changed, but the entire way education was delivered underwent a revision. The results of these actions are not yet complete, but there is a good feeling across the state and the nation that Kentucky can be a model for other states.
Pennsylvania has not been at the forefront of a dis-equalizing system. From 1962, there was a philosophy in government, from Governor Scranton to Governor Casey, that a system that did not take an equalization concept into consideration was not a fair system. In 1968, the concept of the aid ratio was developed. All systems since then have been modifications of that system. Unfortunately, because of a developing disparity in the economy of the state, budgetary changes, and political considerations, the system called ESBE developed into the 7th ranked disparate system in the country according to the federal government.
By the mid 1970's, such folks as Cronk and Johnson and Senier were warning Pennsylvanians that there was an abnormal growth in the disparities between wealthy school districts and poor districts in the Commonwealth. In the legislature, such representatives as Sam Hayes, James Manderino, and David Sweet pushed for a more equitable system.
By the 1980's, the system began to collapse on itself. Some school districts received 120% to 150% of what the formula would have given them, while a large number of districts were accumulating only 80% of what they were due and owing. The problems varied within the formula, expressed as "too many bells and whistles" and a hold harmless clause in each of the legislative years, that restricted those due and owing more money, and giving some school districts at least a 2% increase, when they deserved nothing.
In two parts of the state a group of rural districts gathered together to decide how to approach this problem legislatively. They sometimes called themselves the 80% group. Eventually the group solidified in 1985 into what we now call the Pennsylvania Association of Rural and Small Schools (PARSS).Although the members of PARSS were not, at first, interested in pursuing a court battle, their legislative efforts were sometimes stymied by those who would say, "Go ahead and sue us, we won't do anything unless the Court makes us do it."
For a few years there were other attempts to move both the legislative and executive bodies to action. In one small triumph, the Small District Assistance component of ESBE halted the slide somewhat. However, by 1990 the disparities had grown to such a great degree, that there was a clamor for some more direct action.
In March of 1990 at the annual PARSS conference, Arnold Hillman, an Executive Director of an Intermediate Unit in Western Pennsylvania and former Superintendent of a rural school district, was asked to make a presentation about the possibility of initiating a suit. After the presentation, the attendees at the conference discussed the issue and voted unanimously to begin a suit against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Because of the nature of the educational community in Pennsylvania, all of the other educational organizations were asked if they would like to join PARSS in their efforts. Three of the organizations, PSBA, PSEA and PASA volunteered to join as amicus curiae (friend of the court) and PSEA volunteered both monetary resources and their research and legal staff to help.
The first step in the plan was to visit initiators of the Kentucky suit to gain any insight into their strategy and to see what could be learned from their mistakes. All of the major educational organizations were invited to go along. PARSS was represented by Dawson Detwiler and Arnold Hillman. PSEA was represented by Mark Widoff, general counsel .
This group met with former Governor Bert Combs of Kentucky, and Debra Dawaharre, attorneys for the 66 poor and rural districts that had joined to sue the state. Both Governor Combs and Ms. Dawaharre explained that their initial thrust in the case had been to approach the legislature and the executive branch with some sense of how the problem of disparity might be solved. Once that route was closed to them, they then went to a legal route. They cautioned us not to sue the legislature because the eventual solutions would come from the legislature and it would be futile to disrupt the process by suing them. Their advice was to sue the executive branch. They further cautioned us to be careful in the selection of our legal firm.
There were many other suggestions that Governor Combs made, including a procedure and philosophy of the case. The most important item that came out of the meeting was his suggestion that we meet with former Governor William Scranton some time in the future to get his advice about how to proceed. Although Governor Combs has since passed away, we remember his help and encouragement. Our picture of him as a fine and decent human being has not diminished with time.
The next step in our plan was to find competent and interested legal counsel. Not only did the counsel have to be of a high professional standing, but it would have to be people who believed in our case. A further consideration was that the legal staff had to be an established firm with roots here in Pennsylvania. Toward this end, firms were interviewed and a decision was made to hire Pepper, Hamilton and Scheetz. In a meeting with Fred Speaker, former Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Bridget Montgomery, an associate of Mr. Speaker, the firm impressed PARSS. The firm promised that they would attack the case earnestly. We were to make a good faith effort to develop those funds. To this day, that is the way it has been. Eventually, Fred Speaker retired from the firm and Bridget Montgomery became a Law clerk to Federal Judge Rambo. Tom Schmidt has been our lead attorney from 1993 till today and is assisted by a number of other attorneys in the firm.
The third step was to visit Governor Scranton in his home city. That meeting took place in the Fall of 1990. Governor Scranton listened to our plans. He pointed out that one of the main goals of the Consolidation Act of 1965 was to create more opportunities for youngsters in larger settings. He believed that, for the most part, that had been a positive thing. However, he was quick to point out that there were still deep divisions in the state economically. Those divisions has been exacerbated over the years. He was able to remember the two districts from 1966 that been the highest and lowest spenders. Interestingly enough those same two school districts are the same today. He was quick to point out, however that the disparities are certainly greater today than they had been in 1966.
Governor Scranton reviewed the philosophical underpinnings of such a case and told us that he thought that the legislature would eventually be the prime movers in any solution, but that we should attempt to contact Governor Casey to see if there were anything that he could do to help us. In fact, Governor Casey had tried to implement an "equity supplement" in the 1989-90 budget deliberations. He was not able to get it through the legislature. Governor Casey was also, at the same time, trying to revise the taxing scheme in Pennsylvania so that poorer areas could benefit. That attempt did not succeed.
PARSS did contact Governor Casey soon after the meeting with Governor Scranton. His reaction was positive, but he could not be sure of what the future might hold. He was in the midst of a Gubernatorial campaign that would see him win a second term. PARSS attention turned to an essentially judicial solution to the problems of disparity of resources and equal opportunity for youngsters in the state.
On January 10,1991, PARSS filed its case in both the Commonwealth Court and in Federal District Court.The complaint described the disparities between districts with very few resources and those with great resources. The prologue of the complaint said " The plaintiffs seek a declaratory judgment that the Pennsylvania scheme for funding instructional expenses in public schools, currently set forth in 24 P.S. 25-201 et seq., is unconstitutional because it violates the education clause of the Pennsylvania Constitution Article III 14 and the right to equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Constitution, Article I 1 and Article III 32 42 U.S.C. 1983, and the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution . . .Plaintiffs ask this Court to issue a declaratory judgment that the present scheme for funding public education in the Commonwealth violates 42 U.S.C. 1983 and the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution and is therefore unconstitutional, to grant the appropriate injunction relief to effectuate this declaration, and to grant whatever relief it deems just in the circumstances."
PARSS entered the case with 127 school districts having joined the effort. There were 8 named districts; Clairton, Northern Tioga, Harrisburg, Apollo-Ridge, Corry, Duquesne, Everett and Glendale. These districts were chosen, not only because of their lack of resources, but because they were typical of many districts where disparities were great. PARSS has solicited the entire state for districts who were interested in joining the suit. They had asked for contributions of $1 per ADM to fund the suit. Presentations were made to almost all the 29 Intermediate Unit Superintendents, school board groups, educational organizations, taxpayer groups, business groups, unions, service clubs, professional organizations, university groups among others. A fifteen minute videotape was produced by the contributions and 216 districts have joined.

The National Theatre of Scotland announces details of its 2011 Season.
The Company marks its fifth birthday with a series of activities under the banner of Staging the Nation.
Staging the Nation will see the National Theatre of Scotland developing the conversation that began amongst Scottish artists and audiences decades ago and culminated five years ago when the Company was created.
Featuring a wide-ranging programme of projects, events and activities throughout the year, the Company will stage:
- Scottish classics in new productions
- site specific works
- international collaborations
- large scale international tours
- a five week residency at the Traverse Theatre
- scratch pieces by emerging artists
- major new writing and adaptation commissions
- and a boutique Christmas classic.
There are several thrilling cross-cutting strands running through the year. The key strand for the Company is one of partnerships – across the country, across fellow theatre companies, venues and art-forms and across the wider business community. Another of the National Theatre of Scotland's main strands for 2011 is the highlighting of major themes urgent today in Scottish public life – our languages, the role of education in the arts, the challenging of our society's views on disability and our ageing population.
As a tangible demonstration of collaboration between the arts and business community, the National Theatre of Scotland is delighted to announce a brand new two year Pioneering Partnership with Bank of Scotland, enabling the further development of emerging creative talent.
National Theatre of Scotland Artistic Director & Chief Executive Vicky Featherstone said, "As a Theatre Without Walls it is rare that any one person in Scotland is able to experience the true range and scope of the work we do. This programme for the calendar year 2011 is a great example of that breadth and variety as we aspire to be a truly great National Theatre for all the people of Scotland.
"This work is only made possible through the great partnerships we have nurtured over the last five years with theatres, with artists, with local authorities and schools, with the Government and now with the Bank of Scotland.
"This milestone year for National Theatre of Scotland coincides with times of great change in our world and more than ever we must look to the artists and to the shared experience of theatre to open our imaginations to the possibility of what we can achieve together."
The 2011 season includes the following:
The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart, a cautionary tale for a cold winter's night written by David Greig and directed by Wils Wilson.
Reveal, a five week residency at the Traverse Theatre which presents work by leading Scottish and international artists at various stages of the creative process. Reveal includes a new production from Pol Heyvaert and Robert Softley (Girl X), an exploration of language and identity by Iain Findlay Macleod (Somersaults), five new plays from Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina adapted by some of Scotland's most talented young playwrights in a co-production with Oran Mor's A Play, A Pie and A Pint, as well as new work from Molly Taylor, Gary McNair and Martin Travers.
Extreme , a large scale, multi-discipline, community project in partnership between The National Theatre of Scotland and Aberdeen City Council.
Dunsinane, David Greig's sequel to Shakespeare's Macbeth, directed by Roxana Silbert, was originally presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company at London's Hampstead Theatre in 2010. The production receives its Scottish premiere at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh in May 2011.
Knives in Hens has been widely acknowledged as a modern Scottish classic since it was first staged at the Traverse Theatre in 1995 as playwright David Harrower's first professionally produced play. It has since been staged in 25 countries around the world. This new production will be directed by leading Belgian theatre artists Lies Pauwels.
Autumn tour
Truant a major new production involving young people and professional actors which explores family values, the challenges of modern parenting and the place of children in society. Written and directed by John Retallack and sponsored by ScottishPower.
Tall Tales for Little People by Gerry Mulgrew after Duncan Williamson. A long-awaited resurrection of one of Communicado Theatre Company's most loved and fondly remembered shows – for all the family.
Men Should Weep, Ena Lamont Stewart's landmark 1947 play set amid the crippling poverty of Glasgow's infamous tenements in the 1930s. Directed by Graham McLaren.
October/ November
The Missing is a brilliant merging of reportage, social history and memoir by one of Scotland's most acclaimed writers. Andrew O'Hagan clears a devastating path from the bygone Glasgow of the 1970s to the grim secrets of Gloucester in the mid 1990s. Written and adapted by Andrew O'Hagan, and directed by John Tiffany.
27, Abi Morgan's new work for the National Theatre of Scotland is a meditation on religious faith and the question of what the future may hold for any or all of us. Directed by Vicky Featherstone.
Winter 2011
A Christmas Carol, a boutique re-telling of one of the world's best-loved winter fables. Scottish director Graham McLaren creates his own adaptation of Dickens' Christmas ghost story whose timeless message will be brought exquisitely to life by actors accompanied by eerie puppets from the workshop of master puppeteer Gavin Glover.
The National Theatre of Scotland website will will have full performance dates and times, as well as all ticket details and booking information as it becomes available. Please keep checking for updates.

The staff of the Meridian-Lauderdale County Public Library is busier than ever, according to executive director Steve McCartney.
McCartney adds he'd like for the facility to expand to offer e-books and other more advanced options for patrons. But the budget crunch means that will have to wait. Even so, he says the library is used.
"The library system is heavier used than it ever has been in my (career)," said McCartney. "It seems like our circulation numbers are increasing. We are having to do more with less with our funding. Our future is as bright as the community would like it to be."
The library gets the bulk of its funding from Lauderdale County. It's allocated close to $900,000 for the year. But with the county in a budget crunch of its own, McCartney has legitimate concerns for the many people who depend on the facility's services.
To anyone who says the current library system is irrelevant, McCartney says come and check it out. When Newscenter 11 was there in the middle of the day, there were people using computers, doing research at desks, and some just reading. McCartney says that's the norm.
But still, the staff recognizes a need to keep up with the times. Advances do require funding.
McCartney said he's focusing on what does work, such as the books by mail program, where people can order books over the phone and have them sent directly to their house free of charge.
"I have a couple of my little ladies who will come in and get about 35 books a month, and they will pick them up downstairs or someone will pick them up for them," said library employee Shirley Koch.
The library staff doesn't see things slowing down. Every year around 250,000 people walk through the doors. The hope is that more of you will drop by and check out all the library has to offer.
The library was established in Meridian in 1913 with a grant from The Carnegie Foundation.
It moved to its current location in 1967, when the Civil Rights Act required the city's black and white libraries to be integrated.
Library officials have for years expressed a nee for a larger facility.
