Court McGee vs Nick Ring
"Don't leave it in the hands of the judges."
This phrase heavily implies that the judges can't be trusted to witness what is happening in front of their own eyes. Lately there have been some decisions that are worthy of discussion. One of these decisions is McGee vs Ring.
My impression was that Ring won round 1, I'm pretty sure we can all agree on that. I thought round 2 was all McGee. He was the aggressor, landed some pretty good strikes and blocked almost everything that Ring had to offer. Maybe I'm still in the heat of the moment, but I thought McGee won round 2 and there was no way that anyone could score it otherwise. Then I hear two judges gave both rounds to Ring and he moves on in the competition. Obviously McGee is the one who will get the Wild Card spot on Chuck's team, but I still think the fight should have gone to a third round. Who knows what would have happened?
Sorry if this has turned out to be sort of a rant.
That was a very unfortunate decision they made. Should have went another round IMO.
Third round for sure. The last round was sort of a dead heat though but I do think McGee landed more. Thing is though, I'm pretty sure if that went to a third Ring would've won it, McGee was on point for the first 3 minutes of that round but after that he started getting a bit sloppy and Ring was landing unchecked kicks at will.
Definite third round, sometimes I think that the NSAC should just employ a load of crazy homeless folk, much cheaper wages and will probably do just as good a job.
3rd for sure ring seemed a a little flat .....Oh no you didn't lol
i rewatched the 2nd round again and paid attention to Ring specifically this time, and yes he did do more than in thought he did when i was watching only to pull for Court, but he did not do better by far.
3rd round for sure.
Would have been nice to have seen who would have won had the fight gone to the third. I think Court was starting to get the distance and timing of Ring in the second. Oh well.
I don't see how anyone could have scored the second round for Nick Ring, granted Cort didn't dominate but he did alot more and was definitely the aggressor. 3rd round for sure.
I'm glad to see "20-18 Ring" doesn't have a single vote (yet). :thumbsup:
Which poses the question: what did 2 of 3 judges see in that second round that all of us didn't?

Skip to comments.8 reasons why this is the dumbest generation
Posted on 05/15/2009 7:20:03 AM PDT by BBell
Author Mark Bauerlein aims to provoke in his new book, "The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future" (Tarcher/Penguin). Do you agree? Take a look at eight reasons the Emory University English professor gives to ''not trust anyone under 30'' -- see which you think is the best. Disagree, or have your own spin? Have your say on this message board. Or see if Bauerlein answered your question directly in a chat from Wednesday, May 14.
1. They make excellent "Jaywalking'' targets
Bauerlein writes: "The ignorance is hard to believe ... It isn't enough to say that these young people are uninterested in world realities. They are actively cut off from them. ... They are encased in more immediate realities that shut out conditions beyond -- friends, work, clothes, cars, pop music, sitcoms, Facebook.''
2. They don't read books -- and don't want to, either
"It's a new attitude, this brazen disregard of books and reading. Earlier generations resented homework assignments, of course, and only a small segment of each dove into the intellectual currents of the time, but no generation trumpeted aliteracy ... as a valid behavior of their peers.''
3. They can't spell
Lack of capitalization and IM codes dominate online writing. Without spellcheck, folks are toast.
4. They get ridiculed for original thought, good writing
"On MySpace, if you write clearly and compose coherent paragraphs with informed observations on history and current events, 'buddies' will make fun of you,'' Bauerlein says. Wikipedia writing is clean and factual, but colorless and judgment-free. Often the most clever students, with flashes of disorganized brilliance on MySpace, switch to dull Wiki-writing formats for school papers, he says. "If we could combine the style and imagination of MySpace with the content of Wikipedia, we might get good stuff."
5. Grand

The Not So Greatest Generation (The Dumbest Generation: Don't Trust Anyone Under 30)
Idiocracy is here.
Yeah, yeah, every generation has been labelled as such. Elvis was going to be the death of us all. Didn't happen.
picture in your mind a person of average intelligence, now remember that if they are average half the people are dumber than that, and now you know how Obama was elected.
That's not to deny the fact that there's a grain of truth in what this guy's complaining about, but I suspect that this next group of young folks is going to surprise us.
Yep, somehow, the world has survived millennia of "the worst generation ever."
I would take President Camacho over Obama any day.
Ever think about a long slow death?
Not for children, though, but it makes a perfect point about the direction we as a society have been heading. Actually, I might shot it to a 16 year old to maybe help them understand why ignorance is no fun.
You should. Its both hilarious and depressing (cause its true!) at the same time....
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint" (Hesiod, 8th century BC).
"The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect to their elders.... They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and are tyrants over their teachers." Unattributed, but sometimes attributed to Aristotle.
For my ex, yeah.
All those copies of Harry Potter are apparently reading themselves.
Amazing, another those damned kids and their rock and roll music thread.
"I searched and could not find this posted. IMO the dumbest generation also seem to be Obamaites."
You're setting yourself up for quite a disappointment if you believe that. Especially when it comes to one the 10 reasons, listed.
Could you guess which one? ;^)
BTW, I voted on which of the 10 items I'd thought the best reason for the metastasizing banality.
Guess what happened after I voted & clicked on, "View Results"?
The link didn't work.
Or was it *8* items? :o)
Lack of capitalization and IM codes dominate on line
writing. Without spell check, folks are toast.
Even with spell check, some people can't write a
complete sentence.
They use cant (semisecret jargon like thieves talk,
rap, pig Latin, etc) for the contraction of can not
(can't) and loose in place of lose or loss.
I think that the second-oldest examples of writing on Earth - right after public-works accounting records - talk about, "These kids today! Can you believe what they're up to? It's the end of Civilization As We Know It!"
The science of knowledge is based on the notion that by finding the answers to a set of endless questions that somehow we will know all there is to know about all that is unknowable.
It's catz.
Agreed, I would use coherent istead of complete, though.
Worked for me
What reason makes the most sense for "The Dumbest Generation?"
|2. Books? No thanks!
|7. Easy teachers, parents
|4. Clear thought ridiculed by peers
|8. Just age
|6. Don't retain information (who needs to?)
|3. Can't spell
|1. "Jaywalking'' gaps in knowledge
|5. Grand Theft Auto, etc.

We have a younger generation who have been coddled and large portion of them believe capitalism is bad and socialism is good and more government is the answer. Schools used to be a source of morals and standards and now a good portion of them have been taken over by feel good liberal administrators with a everything is all right attitude. That is unless your Christian,or pro life, or pro traditional marriage etc. We have not lost yet but I worry too much.
I see to for too all the time.
(to many instead of too many)
Spell check won't save you with those sort of spelling issues.
4. Their penmanship horrible. A young man who has been trying to sell me muni bond investments began filling a form out on my behalf. When I saw his handwriting I demanded the form and told him, "I'll fill it out myself!"
Huntsville - Re: spelling, it's not that great at FR either. There have been innumerable instances of "there" for "they're" or "their" and "your" for you're."
And dont even get me started on the misuse and abuse of apostrophe's. Its even rampant among poster's on FR.
/(sarcastic intentional grammatical error's)
The view results link worked for me but the 'Tell us about it' link did not.
I see my choice is ranking third.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
I admit I chuckled ... but the truth is that the HP books are actually quite good on a number of levels. Fun and entertaining, but also they've got a good vs. evil theme that doesn't shy away from the ideas of "good" and "evil."
There's actually a growing genre of that type of kids' fiction -- heroes and bad guys duking it out over timeless themes -- and some of it is very well done. It makes the kids think, anyway.
Anecdotal observations are fine, but the facts say otherwise. For example, 1 in 4 California high school students drop out, state says: Using a new system for tracking dropouts, California discloses a rate considerably higher than previously reported. About 1 in 3 students in Los Angeles Unified left school.
Or this: The Latino Education Crisis: The Consequences of Failed Social Policies, by Patricia Gandara and Frances Contreras, offers an unflinching portrait of Hispanics educational problems and reaches a scary conclusion about those problems costs. The books analysis is all the more surprising given that its authors are liberals committed to bilingual education, affirmative action, and the usual slate of left-wing social programs. Yet Gandara and Contreras, education professors at UCLA and the University of Washington, respectively, are more honest than many conservative open-borders advocates in acknowledging the bad news about Hispanic assimilation.
"Hispanics are underachieving academically at an alarming rate, the authors report. Though second- and third-generation Hispanics make some progress over their first-generation parents, that progress starts from an extremely low base and stalls out at high school completion. High school drop-out ratesaround 50 percentremain steady across generations. Latinos grades and test scores are at the bottom of the bell curve. The very low share of college degrees earned by Latinos has not changed for more than two decades. Currently only one in ten Latinos has a college degree.
That's not to deny the fact that there's a grain of truth in what this guy's complaining about, but I suspect that this next group of young folks is going to surprise us.
Surprise may be too mild a word. By 2023 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities. Except for Asians, the academic performance of blacks and Hispanics is a cause for great concern. High school drop-out rate in major US cities at nearly 50 percent: A report released Tuesday by an educational advocacy group founded by retired general and former Bush administration Secretary of State Colin Powell finds that almost half of all public high school students in the US fifty largest cities fail to graduate.
And thanks for posting this.
Is a fascinating piece, one I've personally wondered about in part or whole for some time now.
The dumbing down of American citizens, for whatever reason(s), will manifest in so many ways we'll not be able to keep track.
Is there any single issue more important then the future of the USA; which, is precisely what the author's addressing. ;^)
Marshal(l) law for martial, succession for secession, ammendment for amendment, sovereignity for sovereignty...Actually, I see these errors so often they now look correct to me, and the correct spelling looks "wrong".
Lack of capitalization and IM codes dominate online writing. Without spellcheck, folks are toast.
Hey, that's you!
He was dumber than a rock, but he loved America.
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint (Hesiod, 8th century BC).
The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect to their elders.... They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and are tyrants over their teachers. Unattributed, but sometimes attributed to Aristotle.
You DO know what happened to Greece, of course. Now it's happening to us.
Statistics are great for that. And I don't even deny that we're headed for some tough times.
Statistics don't address individuals, nor do they address the actions and motivations of individuals. Nor do they address how individuals respond to tough times.
This professor yutz is engaged in the time-honored navel-gazing lament, "why, oh why, can't the kids of today be as brilliant and swell as I am?"
The thing is, I've encountered some truly remarkable teens who run counter to what the contents of this guy's navel is telling him. Not just talented, but there's also something about their attitude, which is far more important; if I had to describe it, I'd start by saying that they're cynical about the right stuff. Real change is driven by that sort of attitude.
No, not all teens are remarkable; not even most of them -- but then, that's always been true. Sure, you can moan about Hispanic immigrants (which of course you would....), but they're not the ones who would make a difference in any case.
The American Spectator link is more in depth about the author and book. The book sounds interesting and I will probably learn something from it as I'm out of tune with the current generations. My kids are 10 and 13 so I believe it won't be long and I'll have a crash course in current trends.
....... every single day of my miserable existance.
Damn, Laz.... I plumb forgot about the zombies. Crap!!!!
We're all gonna die!!!!
At least the article had pictures; saved thousands of words from being read.
I would also contend that it still isn't set; consider British "colour," "labour," and "civilization" against American "color," "labor," and "civilisation."
They're lining up at the unemployment office like the rest of us.
Half are below the median intelligence. I think more than half are below the average.

Bleeding Kansas, Bleeding Missouri: The Long Civil War on the Border
All Library locations will be closed on Monday, September 5, for Labor Day.
Jonathan Earle & Diane Mutti Burke
Tuesday, September 3, 2013
6:30pm @ Plaza Branch
Long before the Civil War began violence was commonplace along the Missouri-Kansas border. There a recurring cycle of robbery, arson, torture, murder, and revenge was established over the same issues that would fuel the larger conflict.
Jonathan Earle, associate professor of history at the University of Kansas, and Diane Mutti Burke, associate professor of history at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, are editors of the new book Bleeding Kansas, Bleeding Missouri. They are joined by contributing writers Kristen Oertel of the University of Tulsa, Jennifer Weber of the University of Kansas, and Jeremy Neely of Missouri State University for a discussion that blends political, military, social, and intellectual history to explain why the region's divisiveness was so bitter and persisted for so long.

Test match
An international cricket or rugby match, typically one of a series, played between teams representing two different countries: the Test match between Pakistan and the West Indies
More example sentences
- The former Sydney City rugby league player, in only his second test match for the Wallabies, landed just one of three penalty attempts in the first-half.
- The most difficult match in any competition is the first, and nothing can prepare a team for the change of pace required at international level like a test match.
- I watched the best part of five evenings worth of an international test match on TV recently.

The young man was nice enough and I was suckered into a system. After some thought, I called the number listed on his business card to have more questions answered. I got to speak with the owner and by the end of that conversation, he had offered me a screamin' deal. Since I am a sucker, I accpeted. The owner said he was really trying to improve the customer service for his company and I bought it hook, line and sinker.
Once you buy the system, you have a certain number of days to return the equipment. After some conversation with a few people I decided to return the equipment. Again I called the owner to arrange this and the customer service basically disappeared. He actually became belligerent and verbally abusive. He also tried to make me feel guilty beacuse their sales people get discouraged easily. Maybe they shouldn't be sales people then.?. When I pointed that out to him, it got even worse.
When all was said and done I was the one bending over backwards to accomodate them. I delivered my equipment to them in a town 30 minutes away, lost my old vacuum - they take it when they leave a system, and heard from the manger of the hotel where my salesman was staying that they were trying to sell Kirby vacuums to the patrons and were banned from the hotel.
The equipment could very well be incredible, but this franchise owner has a lot to learn about professionalism and great customer service.

We bought a vehicle from these guys without have done research on what we should pay for a salvaged title and exactly what were the facts on resale value or insurance ramifications of this kind of purchase
We were foolish consumers who believed we were getting a discounted price for a re-conditioned salvaged vehicle
This company is selling salvaged vehicles for clean-title prices. Please do some research and you will discover that a reputable salvage-title dealer will sell his vehicle for 20-50% off of "poor retail" value of a clean-titled vehicle
After discovering this fact and returning to dealer to inquire about his method of pricing his salvaged title vehicles he simply said when asked how he can justify ripping uneducated consumers off, "I price my vehicle for whatever I want because people will pay for it"
We actually paid $2000 less than we could have purchased this vehicle brand new
We have had no mechanical problems with our salvaged vehicle but were left with a very foolish and cheated feeling after realizing we way overpaid for our salvaged car.

Amazon.com Review
Mario is elated to find Chester. He begs his parents to let him keep the shiny insect in the newsstand, assuring his bug-fearing mother that crickets are harmless, maybe even good luck. What ensues is an altogether captivating spin on the city mouse/country mouse story, as Chester adjusts to the bustle of the big city. Despite the cricket's comfortable matchbox bed (with Kleenex sheets); the fancy, seven-tiered pagoda cricket cage from Sai Fong's novelty shop; tasty mulberry leaves; the jolly company of Tucker Mouse and Harry Cat; and even his new-found fame as "the most famous musician in New York City," Chester begins to miss his peaceful life in the Connecticut countryside. The Cricket in Times Square--a Newbery Award runner-up in 1961--is charmingly illustrated by the well-loved Garth Williams, and the tiniest details of this elegantly spun, vividly told, surprisingly suspenseful tale will stick with children for years and years. Make sure this classic sits on the shelf of your favorite child, right next to The Wind in the Willows. (Ages 9 to 12) --This text refers to the Audible Audio Edition edition.
A Newbery Honor Book.

In COMSOL Multiphysics it is possible to implement and simulate several independent models in parallel. This can be meaningful when the different models are coupled to each other by some kind of interaction.

Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.
I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to you.
Although ranked games against friends are described in the manual, the ability to play ranked games against friends was not included in Madden 11 to safeguard against unscrupulous players artificially boosting their rank on leaderboards by simply playing "dummy" accounts that are identified as friends.
As with past Madden games, you may still play against your friends, but only in unranked games.
If there is anything else we can help you with please let us know.

Welcome to the GOOD GUYS!
from Columbus, OH
Member since 30 July 2013 | Blog
Welcome to the GOOD GUYS!
Credit cards are a great credit-building tool. When you open one, make an auto payment every month for the full balance. That forces me to be disciplined and use them as if they were debit cards. The upside? Cash back and travel points.
Too bad I'm not an NFL prospect. Otherwise, I'd have a million bucks!
Unfortunately, state usury laws don't typically apply to credit cards. Your only chance is to argue they did not give you notice, but chances are they sent you rate increase disclosures in the mail. No one reads those...
Transferring your balance to a 15-month interest-free card or a low-interest federal credit union card are good options. Also, you could get a loan from Lending Tree to pay off your credit card. If you have good credit, you can get a nice loan between 10-15%. Not ideal, but surely beats 50%.
Chase Freedom, Citi Double, Discovery, and AMEX Blue Cash are great 12-15 month no interest options. You'll need a good credit score though. Remember, if you apply for any credit, do it all at once. Credit applications slightly lower your credit score, but you can minimize the decrease by applying for different cards on the same day.
I needed this. I've been out of the loop and unable to check 11W for a few days.
It is nice when you log on and see this. Wow. Boom.
Epitome of a true Buckeye.
Im sorry I even thought he was considering transferring.
I need a Brax fathead for my man cave.
Wow. These people are all dicks. TH took a lot of personal shots, which disappointed me given his smarts. Ad hominem attacks are hardly persuasive, and TH was the only one making them.
Sling TV (which you can access with a Roku, Amazon Firestick, or most smart TVs) has ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, TBS, AMC, ABC Family, CNN, History, and bunch of other live channels for $20 per month! You can pay $5 extra for additional sport channels, like SEC Networks (but no BTN). Since Sling TV is technically a provider, you can use it to log into Watch ESPN.
I love Sling TV. I also have Amazon Prime. I bum Hulu from a friend and Netflix from my parents (who use my Prime). As such, I have Sling TV, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix. That is more than what I need.
The only downfall is no BTN. However, that is only 2 Buckeye games. I typically go to the home games, so that's no biggie for me. For basketball, I use my parent's BTN to Go account (they have Dish).
The downside to Sling TV is that you can only have one stream at a time. If you want to watch ESPN but the wife wants to watch HGTV, you'll have to pay for two Sling TV accounts. Two accounts, however, may still be way cheaper than cable or dish.
It boils down to timing of the loss. It's unfair, but that's the way it is. Same reason Bama rose to #2 after a bad loss. Hell, it's how we got in last year.
Don't worry -- I'll spot you. I recently came into some unexpected riches. You see, I sold Fiesta Bowl tickets recently at face value. I now have more monies than i know what to do with...
MERRY CHRISTMAS YA'll! Go Bucks!
Exactly. Plus, like with any offer, my offer was subject to a counter-offer. If someone can get the SAME (or BETTER) tickets cheaper, then that is a leverage point when negotiating with me. I was fine with someone saying, "Hey, this website has your tickets for cheaper." I, however, did not appreciate being accused for trying to rip off fellow Buckeyes. Moreover, a lot of people prefer to buy face value tickets that they can verify and get in-hand the same day, than order them off a website for slightly cheaper and have to worry about delivery, etc.
Anyway, this was fun.
Someone on facebook allowed me to make a HUGE profit on these. I bought them for face value and sold them for same. I am now rich, apparently.
I paid face value as part of a season package.
Profit means I make money on my sale. Since I purchased them for $330, selling them for $330 would not result in a profit. It's not really that complicated.
Face value = profit? Lol.
Yeah; face value price for club seats is ripping someone off. You're so awesome. [Let me rephrase to not confuse you, "YOUR" so awesome.]
Fair enough. I guess that's called leverage that someone can use when negotiating with me.
There are certainly cheaper tickets, but the ongoing price for this club section is higher than my ask. StubHub's prices for this section are $30-50 more.
Someone that's been a head coach in both college and the pros would be a tad humiliated if they were hired as mere coordinators. The associate title gives him more respect, and money. Has zero impact on Urban.
I agree. I hear Linux and immediately my mind goes blank. I just buy apple because it does what it is supposed to do. I made the switch in 2000 and have not looked back. Even the corporate world is figuring it out these days.
It's an upfront investment, but worth the cost. I also just added RAM and storage and essentially rejuvenated by old MacBook.
Buy a mac. Problem solved.
No tradition is worth more than a human life. None.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
Equally skilled in both big-band and combo settings, Don Lamond is best-known for his association with Woody Herman's Orchestra. He grew up in Washington, studied at the Peabody Conservatory in Philadelphia, and picked up early experience working with the big bands of Sonny Dunham (1943) and Boyd Raeburn. Lamond replaced Dave Tough in Woody Herman's First Herd in 1945 and carved out his own musical identity with the group. He was with Herman until that classic orchestra broke up in December 1946, freelanced a bit in 1947 (including recording with Charlie Parker), and then rejoined Herman when he formed the Second Herd, staying with that ensemble for two years before it disbanded in 1949. Lamond was quite busy in the studios during the '50s and '60s, appearing on a countless number of jazz dates ranging from Dixieland and swing to big bands and bop. Among his many associations were Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Johnny Smith, Benny Goodman, Ruby Braff, the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra, Sonny Stitt, Johnny Guarnieri, Jack Teagarden, Quincy Jones (1959), George Russell, Bob Crosby (1966), and many others. In the late '60s, Lamond was a member of George Wein's Newport Festival All-Stars. He recorded with Red Norvo, Maxine Sullivan (1971), and Bucky Pizzarelli, and led his own Big Swing Band in Florida starting in the late '70s. Don Lamond recorded a tentet set for Command in 1962 (which included Doc Severinsen), his big band cut an album apiece for Progressive in 1977 and 1982, and there was a 1981 quartet set (also for Progressive) featuring his wife Terry Lamond on vocals. Lamond died December 23, 2003 at the age of 82.

Culture & Conflict Studies, Press Release10/19/2007By [Printer Friendly Version]
MONTEREY, CALIF. - The Program for Culture & Conflict Studies (CCS) is pleased to announce the publication of a new web resource for those studying the human terrain in Afghanistan: www.nps.edu/Programs/CCS/.
According to Professor Thomas H. Johnson, CCS Director, Theres an absolute lack of reliable and up-to-date information regarding tribal and human dynamics in Afghanistan. This will be an amazing resource, both for the people in-country, and for those outside Afghanistan who want a deeper understanding of the people there. Beginning with Eastern Afghanistan, we want to provide the most current and comprehensive picture of the human terrain out there.
Covering tribes, politics, trends, and people, the websitea 21st century gazetteer, provides data, analysis, and maps not available anywhere else. In later versions the gazetteer will expand to other regions of Afghanistan.
The main foci of the gazetteer are: tribes and ethnic identities; political parties and actors; current trends and events; and opium trends and analysis. Overviews exist for every province, and the website contains a number of academic papers, authored by CCS and others, on particular issues, groups, and policies shaping events in Afghanistan.
With a dedicated staff, and led by Prof. Thomas Johnson, the gazetteer is a living document, and will be updated and expanded as research continues and new information becomes available.

Food Lion has named Rhonda Mauldin its 2014 Store Manager of the Year. Mauldin, who is the Store Manager of the Food Lion located at 1004 W. Georgia Road in Simpsonville, S.C., was selected from a group of more than 1,100 store managers across the company.
"I really don't think of myself as an exceptional store manager; however, what I do think of as exceptional is my team," Mauldin said after receiving the award Wednesday. "They really are the reason I'm here today, and I'm honored to accept this award on their behalf."
Mauldin was honored at an annual event at Food Lion's headquarters in Salisbury, North Carolina, which was attended by her family and colleagues. This is not the first time Food Lion or the grocery store industry has lauded Mauldin for her outstanding leadership skills. She received store manager excellence awards for her work both with Bloom and Food Lion stores in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014. In addition, Mauldin received Progressive Grocer's Top Women in Grocery award for the Store Manager category in 2014.
"Our store managers are the face of Food Lion to our customers," said Meg Ham, President of Food Lion. "Rhonda personifies this every day by running a great store, teaching and training associates, mentoring future leaders and caring for our customers and her community through outstanding service. Her store is always one of the top stores in donating meals and time for her local food bank. She is an exceptional leader, has developed an outstanding team, and is so deserving of this honor. We're proud to have her as part of the Food Lion team."
Mauldin has worked in the grocery store industry for nearly 30 years. She joined Food Lion in February 2006 as a Dry Assistant Manager in Anderson, South Carolina. Six months later, she was promoted to Store Manager and moved to Seneca, South Carolina, to serve as the store manager at this location. Because of her sharp skills of transforming businesses into high-performing stores, she was later transferred to the Simpsonville, South Carolina, store location in 2007.
To honor Mauldin and her exemplary community service, the company will donate $2,000 in Mauldin's name to her store's local feeding agency, Harvest Hope Food Bank, in Greenville, South Carolina. Mauldin and her team support this food bank with food donations and volunteerism throughout the year.
In addition to Mauldin being selected as Food Lion's Store Manager of the Year, three Store Managers were recognized for exceptional leadership. The 2014 Division Store Manager Excellence Award recipients include: Paul Goodnight, Store Manager at 2458 SW Cary Parkway in Cary, North Carolina; James Felix, Store Manager at 12100 Central Ave., in Mitchellville, Maryland; and Kevin Foy, Store Manager at 1304 W. Vernon Ave., in Kinston North Carolina.
Food Lion will donate $1,000 to each of the feeding agencies served by these stores in honor of the division winners. Food Lion's Store Manager Excellence Awards recognize and honor exceptional store managers who enrich the lives of Food Lion's customers, associates and the communities the company serves, successfully lead its business, and support and inspire others.

VW Golf 1.6 TDI 105PS BlueMotion
- Used model
- Diesel, Small family
- 1600cc (1.7 litre), Manual 5-speed, 3 door
The NGC Rating expresses a vehicle's environmental impact as a score ranging from 0 for the greenest cars to 100+ for the most polluting.
VW Golf reviewNGC verdict 08.06.2015
Is this another nail in diesel's coffin? Volkswagen's first Golf BlueMotion powered by a petrol station arrives in September. With more power than the original, legendary Golf GTI, it delivers the fuel economy of a diesel with the lower (£1,700) purchase price of a petrol car yet it is enjoyable to drive.
The car is much more refined than a diesel which would be a boon on long journeys. It will also save company car drivers the three per cent company car tax surcharge on diesel.

I seem to have a conflict between CFS 1.8.0 and a plug-in called Post Type Switcher 1.2.
It manifests when updating a Field Group. When updating, it appears to change the Field Group post type into a plain Post type. This is my assumption because an edit page for a Post (with the same name as the Field Group) is displayed instead of the Field Group page. After this the Field Group is missing from the Field Group list, although its fields are still displayed in places previously defined.

We completed the job and sent in a bill to be paid. After a month we called John Radford and asked if he had a check yet. He stated it was going out tomorrow (wednesday) because he had several others to mail.
We waited a week for the check. On thursday the following week we called back John and he stated he forgot and the check was going out that Friday.
We waited over another week. We called and sent several emails and we could not get a response from any one. I sent an email stating we were going to call the main contractor if he did not call us or return an email. He did not and we called the main contractor.
The company man talked to John Radford and John told him the check had already been mailed.
On Monday afternoon I got the check in. Great, then I noticed he post dated the check for two weeks later and wrote on the check, Hold To, and the date.
I took the check to my bank the next day to ask what they could do about it and they would not even take the check because he wrote the check on a Canadian Bank. I could give it to the bank and then wait about 4 weeks to see if the check was going to clear.
If you are a business in the united states, then why draw on a canadian bank? Why not just pay your bill, we are not talking about thousands of dollars here. The bill was under 1000.00, just pay it and every one will be happy.

Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Online Publication Date:October 2011
Original Publication Year:1896
Online ISBN:9780511974717
Paperback ISBN:9781108072731
Book DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511974717
Subjects: History of Ideas and Intellectual History
First published in 1896, this two-volume biography details the life of physician and spiritualist Anna Kingsford (1846–1888). Kingsford, one of the first women to obtain a degree in medicine, began her literary career at the age of thirteen and in her lifetime was known for campaigning against vivisection, involvement in the suffragette movement, and promotion of vegetarianism, as well as her spiritualist exploits. This biography was written by her friend and colleague, the spiritualist Edward Maitland (1824–97), who served as Kingsford's protector while she studied in Paris. At the time of its publication, the work was not well received; the main criticism directed towards the book was that it focused on Maitland's psychic experiences rather than on Kingsford herself. Volume 1 focuses on Kingsford's early life, Maitland's first meeting with her, their time in Paris and their first supernatural experiences together.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Over about a year's time period I was time and time again told that I had overdrawn my account, and was charged $33 for every single transaction, even just $1 that went through afterwards. One time I logged in to my bank account online to check that my direct deposit has gone through and I saw that my account was overdrawn $350!! more than my entire check!
Charter One also charged me for crazy made up things that I had never agreed to. $25 for my debit card. $1 EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU SELECT DEBIT! That's insane! Also I had to pay for some reward points program I never agreed to. TOTALLY FREE CHECKING was such a joke!!
Charter One made me feel like I was a crazy person who was a totally screw up with money. Since then I have been at Harris Bank for more then a year now and I have NEVER overdrawn. Not once. That makes me now realize that Charter One was really screwing me out of money.
Also when I closed my account, they tried to ask me why I was leaving and convince me to stay. I said one of the reasons was because of the $1 charge for debit. They tried to tell me that all banks do that. I was like, no my new one doesn't, and when she explained that she expected me to stay. NO WAY!

Patient Testimonials:
"I recently moved to the area and needed a dentist. I was given Dr. Kate Brokaw at SSDG and am very happy with the experiences I have had so far. I hate going to the dentist, as most people do, but Dr. Brokaw and the entire staff make me feel much more at ease. They always talk me through everything, which helps a lot too. I recently had some pain in a tooth that was giving me a hard time and Dr. Brokaw was able to squeeze me in right away (and around my work schedule) and was able to fix the problem for me. I'd highly recommend going to Dr. Brokaw for dental work. She is very friendly and sincere. I also rarely ever have to wait in the waiting area, even when I am early for my appointment, which is also a plus! Overall, SSDG is a great place to go for dental work."- Katie F.
"I had been going to the same dentist for forty years until he retired. I was searching for a dentist when a co-worker of my wife suggested Stanley Shores Dental Group. They are extremely focused on patient comfort, Dr. Stang is the most caring doctor I have ever met. He not only seems concerned with your dental care or your general health, but your whole well being. I recommend Stanley Shores Dental to anyone seeking dental care."- Daniel W.
"I've been seeing Dr. Jeranko since my first teeth came in, and I'm now 26. He's the sweetest, most gentle man and takes great care in his patients' comfort and care. I've seen other members of the staff and felt that they all upheld the same standards of quality care, as well. They're simply the best."- Kristan B.
"GREAT experience at Standley Shores. Welcoming atmosphere - the waiting room is spacious and comfortable. My first appointment was the most informative dental visit I've ever had. The entire staff was polite and professional. I felt respected and valued. Dr. Barone takes exceptional care of her patients. I keep sending friends and family her way and it is 5 STARS every time!"- Jordan S.
"After having my past dentist tell me they no longer were going to be in service I decided to call Standley Shores Dental Group and what I good find this was for myself and my daughter! Not only are they close to home but they took me in right away! I had a crown that was starting to bother me and they had me come that day! Their customer service is superior and the dentist (Kate Brokaw) I chose is a PERFECT fit for myself as well as my daughter. Kate and her hygienist, Heather compliment each other very well, their caring loving nature makes a trip to visit a very calm relaxing experience. Their beautiful energy is extraordinary and you can feel it. I have had 3 other crowns needing attention and have been in and out of their office in the past 2 months. Normally I would have been a nervous wreck going back to the dentist that many times, but knowing I was in excellent care with Kate & Heather my fears were totally gone. I tell everyone about my experience, they all think I am crazy. Give Standley Dental Group a try, you will be amazed at how much they really do care about YOU!"- Lori O.

Britt Technology Impact Series: Data / Analytics
The Britt Technology Impact Series (BTIS) provides MBA candidates and the Tuck and Dartmouth communities with insights into how changes in technology affect individuals, impact enterprises and reshape industries. The series explores a different theme each academic year through events including panel discussions with industry leaders, one-on-one meetings with executives and academic seminars. At year-end, the center produces an overview of the findings that gives students unique perspectives on relevant business and technology issues. This program is made possible by a generous donation from Glenn Britt T'72, former Chairman, President & CEO of Time Warner Cable. The 2015-16 BTIS is examining the radical transformation that technology is having on business models in a series titled, The Digital (R)Evolution: Transforming Business Models.
We invite you to experience past overviews and series on hyperconnectivity, IoT, Big Data, Cloud, Social, Mobile and Video.
Data / Analytics
Current Series: The Digital (R)Evolution: Transforming Business Models
Technology is enabling the transformation of entire industries, including retail, healthcare, financial services, media and entertainment, and manufacturing. Infrastructure that once enabled technology is increasingly a new line of business itself, as companies look to contract with service providers instead of managing their own assets in-house. Mobile phones and location services are rapidly changing a wide array of services, with sharing economy companies displacing traditionally static sectors of the economy as technology enables consumers to gain access to assets without requiring ownership.
Why are we seeing so many new business models? How will individuals, executives, enterprises, and industries respond to new players with alternative business models challenging their industries? What role does technology play in enabling these business models? What industries have been most impacted, and which are likely to be significantly impacted in the future? What role does corporate IT play in supporting their enterprises' creation of new business models? The 2015-2016 Britt Technology Impact Series will seek to answer these questions and further explore the radical transformation that technology is having on business models.

Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between and including those two seasons.
Default Setting for this feature: Turn On / Turn Off
Summation of season totals only works for the initial case when the table is in year order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit goofy.
HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career seasons or career game numbers (like '#1972:batting_standard', '#1970-1980-sum:batting_standard', or '#1998,1999,2001,2002,sum:pitching_standard') onto the end of a player page url causes the seasons to the highlighted and summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others. Note that for tables with multiple pages the first table is the default. If you want to create a sum for a table other than the first one, select the rows and after the summation window appears click on "permanent link" link.

Unless you're responsible for a lion getting loose in suburban Ohio, you're not going to be making headlines any time soon—and if that's what it takes, then you probably wouldn't want to.
You might get a little bit of local fame with zoo-going regulars who watch your snake show every forty minutes. Another kind of fame will come to you in your circle of zookeepers, once you speak at a few conferences. (And yes, those conferences exist.)
Regardless, you won't have to worry about dodging the paparazzi any time soon.
If you've got the right personality and you work at the right zoo, you might even get some calls to visit talk shows with a van full of critters. You'll love it when they start calling you the next Jack Hanna.

Dropping water table causes the Milwaukee Rep to sink, repairs needed
Sitting on a table in an office at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, the weathered and rotted stump looks like a prop for a scene at a wharf or aboard a seafaring vessel.
The damaged stump, believed to be tamarack, was yanked out of a hole deep in the bowels of the Patty & Jay Baker Theater Complex, adjacent to the Milwaukee River and home to the Quadracci Powerhouse Theater, Stiemke Theater and the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article(37)
Windfall Theatre cast gets a bit lost in 'Petrified Forest'
In the late 1930s, Robert E. Sherwood owned the American stage, winning Pulitzer Prizes for three plays. Opening on Broadway in 1935, and featuring an actor named Humphrey Bogart, "The Petrified Forest" isn't among them. But it's the Sherwood play that's best remembered today, thanks to Bogart's ensuing appearance in the 1936 film with Leslie Howard and Bette Davis.
