Callie Watford's coaching story is a familiar one: A child wanted to play a sport and there were not enough adults to coach.
Recently, Watford was one of several volunteers recognized as Passionate Parents by the Charleston Tennis Initiative during the Family Circle Cup.
"It's been cool to get back in it. My boys wanted to play. They had a tennis team and too many players, so I started helping out," said Watford, the mother of four boys with strong ties to Drayton Hall Elementary. She grew up in a tennis-playing family but elected to play golf at the College of Charleston.
Her mother, Carolyn Sanders, taught at Drayton Hall for a number of years when it was a middle school.
Watford said Drayton Hall has four teams this year, two that play in the younger division and two that play in the older division.
She said the school has been very successful in the tennis league, winning trophies each of the last three years.
"We've had three or four matches going a week," she added, noting that on a recent day all four teams were playing at the same time at different locations.
"We play all over the tri-county area. Fortunately, we have a lot of parents that volunteer. We have a parent for every court during the matches, helping keep score and calling the lines."
Watford said half of the kids who come out for tennis have never played the game, but they pick it up quickly.
"We start practicing in January (twice a week) and our first matches are the beginning of March. Just in that amount of time they learn to score and learn how to call the lines," Watford said, adding that once matches begin, they practice only once a week.
"They run, they exercise, they play matches in practices. It's amazing to see them."

If you ask wildlife managers working in national parks in Botswana, Kenya and Tanzania where they studied, many will give you the same answer: The College of African Wildlife Management in Mweka, Tanzania.
Situated in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro (Mweka is one of the towns that allow access to climb the mountain), the college is a respected regional training school that AWF helped establish almost 40 years ago. Mweka College trains mid-career protected-area and wildlife professionals from all over the continent.
During the last year, AWF doubled its number of Conservation Service Centers (CSCs). The two original CSCs are in Nairobi and Arusha. In 2000, a third center opened in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and a fourth in White River, South Africa.
AWF hired Isidore Gwashure, formerly a top executive in southern Africa's ecotourism industry, to direct the CSC program. Now based at AWF's Office of African Operations in Nairobi, he has concluded agreements with two major southern African tourism companies and is negotiating additional contracts.
For the first time in nearly thirty years, elephants have been sighted in the Central Kajido District, which is located in the Kilimanjaro Heartland. The Kilimanjaro Heartland straddles between the borders of Tanzania and Kenya. The Heartland supports exceptional biological and other values, such as the best known and studied population of African elephants in the world. It is also home to endangered species including cheetah and wild dogs, and contains an important system of wetlands welling up from Mt. Kilimanjaro.
by R. Michael Wright, President, AWF
Fifteen-foot crocodiles slithered across the sandbanks and plunged into the river as the vibrations of the South African National Park Service helicopter reached them. We seemed perilously close to the red rock walls of the canyons of the Olifants River, but the dexterity of the pilot was remarkable. Pulling up at the last minute, we swung over the lip of the gorge. To our right lay the wildlife-rich expanse of Kruger National Park, and to the left was the vast empty wilderness of Coutada 16 in Mozambique.
Annette Lanjouw, Director of the International Gorilla Conservation Program (IGCP), told the National Press Club Friday that mining for Coltan is presenting a new threat to conservation in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. This issue strikes close to home in the United States, because Coltan is a rare earth metal used in numerous consumer electronics products, computer components, and advanced aviation and aerospace industries.

To configure a virtualhost as a cluster node, configure the virtualhost.xml in the following manner:
Example 13.1. Configuring a VirtualHost to use the BDBHAMessageStore
<virtualhosts> <virtualhost> <name>vhostname</name> <vhostname> <store> <class>org.apache.qpid.server.store.berkeleydb.BDBHAMessageStore</class> <environment-path>${QPID_WORK}/bdbhastore/vhostname</environment-path> <highAvailability> <groupName>myclustername</groupName> <nodeName>mynode1</nodeName> <nodeHostPort>node1host:port</nodeHostPort> <helperHostPort>node1host:port</helperHostPort> <durability>NO_SYNC\,NO_SYNC\,SIMPLE_MAJORITY</durability> <coalescingSync>true|false</coalescingSync> <designatedPrimary>true|false</designatedPrimary> </highAvailability> </store> ... </vhostname> </virtualhost> </virtualhosts>
groupName is the name of logical name of the cluster. All nodes within the
cluster must use the same
groupName in order to be considered part of the cluster.
nodeName is the logical name of the node. All nodes within the cluster must have a
unique name. It is recommended that the node name should be chosen from a different nomenclature from that of
the servers on which they are hosted, in case the need arises to move node to a new server in the future.
nodeHostPort is the hostname and port number used by this node to communicate with the
the other nodes in the cluster. For the hostname, an IP address, hostname or fully qualified hostname may be used.
For the port number, any free port can be used. It is important that this address is stable over time, as BDB
records and uses this address internally.
helperHostPort is the hostname and port number that new nodes use to discover other
nodes within the cluster when they are newly introduced to the cluster. When configuring the first node, set the
helperHostPort to its own
nodeHostPort. For the second and subsequent nodes,
set their
helperHostPort to that of the first node.
durability controls the durability
guarantees made by the cluster. It is important that all nodes use the same value for this property. The default value is
NO_SYNC\,NO_SYNC\,SIMPLE_MAJORITY. Owing to the internal use of Apache Commons Config, it is currently necessary
to escape the commas within the durability string.
coalescingSync controls the coalescing-sync
mode of Qpid. It is important that all nodes use the same value. If omitted, it defaults to true.
designatedPrimary is applicable only to the two-node
case. It governs the behaviour of a node when the other node fails or becomes uncontactable. If true,
the node will be designated as primary at startup and will be able to continue operating as a single node master.
If false, the node will transition to an unavailable state until a third-party manually designates the node as
primary or the other node is restored. It is suggested that the node that normally fulfils the role of master is
set true in config file and the node that is normally replica is set false. Be aware that setting both nodes to
true will lead to a failure to start up, as both cannot be designated at the point of contact. Designating both
nodes as primary at runtime (using the JMX interface) will lead to a split-brain
in the case of network partition and must be avoided.
Usage of domain names in
helperHostPort and
nodeHostPort is more preferebale
over IP addresses due to the tendency of more frequent changes of the last over the former.
If server IP address changes but domain name remains the same the HA cluster can continue working as normal
in case when domain names are used in cluster configuration. In case when IP addresses are used and they are changed with the time
than Qpid JMX API for HA can be used to change the addresses or remove the nodes from the cluster.
It is possible to pass BDB environment and replication configuration options from the virtualhost.xml.
Environment configuration options are passed as described in Section 14.4.1, "Passing BDB environment configuration options"
Replication configuration option are passed using
repConfig elements with the
store element.
For example, to override the BDB replication configuration option
... </highAvailability> ... <repConfig> <name>je.rep.electionsPrimaryRetries</name> <value>3</value> </repConfig> ... </store>

An ardent animal lover and advocate, Katherine Heigl has happily opened up her home and heart to seven canine companions – but she's the first to admit it's not always easy.
"Yeah, I wouldn't recommend that," the actress jokes to PEOPLE. "I really love these dogs, but it's a lot with two little kids."
After purchasing her first three dogs – schnauzers Romeo, Stella and Wheezer – Heigl became aware of Los Angeles's growing overpopulation problem, and began rescuing pooches as a result.
"The first dog I rescued was my dog Piper, who is pretty much the most amazing dog on the planet," she says. "It was a chance thing. I was walking down the street in my neighborhood and there was a woman with these two beautiful puppies that had been rescued from somebody's backyard … I just thought, 'This dog is beautiful, and I can take another dog,' and so I did, and then the train started rolling."
The overpopulation revelation is also what led Heigl, who alongside her mother Nancy runs the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, to her latest animal welfare venture, Just One pet products. A portion of the proceeds from the line's collars will go towards helping spay and neuter animals to prevent unnecessary euthanizing of shelter pets.
"[My mother and I] just felt that we had gotten so much from our pets over the years, how much loyalty and love," she says. "They're kind of like my best friends, and I just thought we need to do something to help all of their kind. That was the impetus for Just One."
Having grown up alongside a menagerie of animals, Heigl, 34, hopes to impart a similar upbringing on her daughters, 4-year-old Naleigh and newborn Adalaide, whom she adopted in April.
"Naleigh, from the moment she came to us, was surrounded by dogs," the actress says. "Especially when she was really little, 1-1½, they were her best friends. She would hang out with the dogs and dress them up in her little party clothes and put necklaces on them and play tea party with them. I love it so much that she will always have this source of comfort in her life if she's an animal person."
And while Adalaide's time with her furry family – which also includes hound Oscar and shepherd mixes Tamber and Flora – is monitored, she's equally become a hit with the brood.
"[Oscar] is kind of obsessed with the baby," Heigl says. "She'll sit in her bouncy seat and he'll kind of come over, tail-wagging, and just lick her entire face. It's one of those things where you're like okay that's fine once, but now you need to move away from the baby."
With the holidays fast approaching, the actress is looking forward to spending quality time with all nine of her little ones, daughters and furbabies alike.
"[The dogs] get maybe a few treats, but they don't get like gifts or anything," she says with a laugh. "Naleigh's at this fantastic age where Christmas is something she looks forward to and totally gets now … It's pretty much my favorite time of year so I'm really just reveling in it and enjoying it."
Katherine Heigl: 'I Wouldn't Recommend' Having 7 Dogs and 2 Kids

MARTINSBURG - Martinsburg mother Sharon Santamaria is on a mission - and that mission gained support Saturday when community members and local government officials gathered at 365 Church to take a stand against bullying.
"I was always taught never to start trouble, but when it comes knocking, answer the door," she said.
In response to alleged verbal, physical and cyber attacks on her daughter and daughter's friend by their peers, Santamaria organized a rally that garnered approximately 200 participants including Del. Larry Faircloth, Del.-Elect Michael Folk and Governor's office Regional Representative Lynn Phillips.

Sharon Santamaria, whose daughter was the victim of alleged bullying attacks, organized a rally, hosted at 365 Church Saturday, to solicit community support against bullying.
"I told the officer that night that this whole community will know who I am before this is said and done, and I think I've succeeded in that," Santamaria said.
According to Faircloth, the West Virginia law that dictates bullying is a crime - Senate Bill 104 - lacks clarity on what specific punishments will be administered on specific acts of bullying.
During the rally, Faircloth cited the state's cell phone ban, which mandates cell phone use is prohibited while operating a vehicle. The law, he said, is clear on each and every consequence for using a cell phone while behind the wheel. Faircloth said Senate Bill 104 needs to be just as concise.
"The hopes of what we need to do are basically enhance the law to where it works better for the people, bridges the communication between parents, administrators and law enforcement, and put something into play that is working for the community and will ultimately cut down the bullying," Faircloth said in an interview before the rally.
Faircloth said he will personally sponsor or co-sponsor the move to amend Senate Bill 104.
"During my campaign, one of the four platforms I stood on was school bullying. I felt it a passion. Having children of my own, I heard the stories from them from the schools of who was doing what and I followed that," he said. "There was no accountability from what I was seeing."
Faircloth was hopeful that the day would serve to create both public awareness and legislative pressure in Charleston.
"We are not attacking the board of education. We are not attacking the administrators. We are not doing that," Faircloth said. "We are just trying to create a bridge that helps everybody. By strengthening the administration, that will do such."
Santamaria said she organized the rally to solicit community support after encountering numerous obstacles in bringing the issue to public attention, as those involved in the attack on her daughter are protected by their juvenile status.
"If bullying is going to be on a criminal level, these kids need to have accountability," Santamaria said in an interview before the event. "They have the mentality that 'I'm underage and no one can touch me,' and we need to change that."
"Whenever there is an incident like this, whether in or out of schools, there needs to be mandated counseling and anger management for these kids at the expense of their parents," Santamaria said addressing the rally. "There needs to be consequences at home as well. Kids are a product of their environment. These kids are not born with this behavior, it is learned."
There were various musical performances throughout the rally, and Phillips spoke on behalf of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin in support of the day's message.
The rally's proceeds - from raffles, a bake sale and donations - will benefit the "Shine the Light" foundation in memory of Hedgesville Middle School student Abigail "Abby" Knorr who, at 13, took her own life March 13, 2011. Erik Gessel, executive administrator of Berkeley Family Medicine and a family member of Knorr's, spoke on his experience as a three-time suicide survivor.
"Be compassionate towards each other. You have no idea what some kids are dealing with outside of school. Choose to be a friend, not a bully," Santamaria told students in attendance. "Stand up for what's right, stand up for what you believe in and most importantly, stand up for yourself, even if it's rough and you're standing alone, keep standing up."
Santamaria said she chose the "Shine the Light" foundation after learning of Knorr's story and relating it to her own daughter's experience being bullied.
"To watch your child go through this kind of hurt is indescribable," Santamaria said. "For days, even weeks afterwards, every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was my child laying there defenseless being kicked and beaten on like an animal. And all I could do was cry, but that is nothing compared to the fear and pain that these two young girls must have experienced that day."
Santamaria said the challenges she has faced in shedding light on her daughter's experience have only fueled her drive to take a stand against bullying.
"I have been criticized and told I am just trying to get attention and they are absolutely correct, not to me personally but to the fact that bullying is rising in this community. We need to stand up against this and be heard," Santamaria said. "It has been stated that I am taking this too far and I beg to differ. Because when it comes to defending and protecting our youth, there is no such thing as too far."
Santamaria said she will continue to raise awareness on the issue.
"One thing I want to teach everybody, especially the kids, is stand up for what's right, for what you believe in and, most importantly, stand up for yourself," she said.

Centenary College History
Founded in 1867 by the Newark Conference of the United Methodist Church, Centenary College has evolved from a coeducational preparatory school into a modern, independent, four-year baccalaureate and master-level institution of higher learning.
No stranger to change, Centenary evolved from its origin as a coeducational preparatory school to a girls' preparatory school (1910), a junior college for women (1940), a four-year women's college (1976), a coeducational baccalaureate-degree-granting institution (1988), and a master-degree-granting institution (1995).
Centenary plays a significant role in providing educational programs to the adult population of northwest New Jersey. In 1976, Centenary began to offer coeducational degree programs for evening students.
True to its Methodist origins, Centenary is proud to bear the distinction of being the first college within the State of New Jersey to require service education as a condition of graduation. Centenary is also proud of its international outreach, with international students from as many as 20 nations providing a distinct international character to the College's student body.
Centenary Today
In 1999, it developed the Center for Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS), with an off-campus learning center located in Parsippany, New Jersey. This program provided working adults with accelerated degree programs at the undergraduate (BSBA and AA) and Graduate (MBA) levels.
In 2011, Centenary's dedication to reaching out to students increased significantly with renaming of the program to the Centenary College School of Professional Studies (CCSPS). This change added a new accelerated Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a concentration in Organizational Studies, and solidified Centenary's partnerships with area corporations.
Centenary likewise encourages its indigenous students to experience international study, maintaining articulation agreements with three institutions in China, three institution in Japan, six institutions in Korea, two institutions in Northern Ireland, and one institution in Canada.
Centenary's Campus
Centenary College has a 19-building campus on 42 acres, an equestrian center with seven buildings on 65 acres, and the off-campus CCSPS learning centers in Parsippany and Edison, New Jersey.
The College has 150 full-time and adjunct faculty. It is a member of the NCAA Division III supporting 14 intercollegiate athletic teams as an active member of the Colonial States Athletic Conference.
Centenary's Accreditation
Centenary is accredited by The Middle States Commission on Higher Education. An institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
Centenary College is also accredited by the National Association of State Directors for Teacher Education and Certification.
Centenary has fully-accredited status from the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC), full accreditation from the Council on Social Work (CSWE), and Specialized Accreditation by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE).

Hey guys! Going to the game tonight and my girlfriend and I were gonna make a couple posters for the game. Any ideas? Would love to write anything, but I don't feel like walking back to my car for saying something "offensive" (even if it's probably true haha), so preferable that I won't have to toss the poster away.
I'd love to put a picture of Kronwall leveling Havlat and saying something like, "there's a reason Havlat went to the Sharks" or something like that. Or maybe that's just lame, idk.

As the social mood darkens and economy thickens, some people realize
that the mainstream media is often a marketing tool for shaping the
conversation. Some things are never discussed or mentioned.
What is missing is a little more "fact outing" (of things we're
not talking about) and "full disclosure." (to reveal the
motivations of those pressing opinions). Sadly, some very basic
truths are only talked about in the "alternative media." I would
argue that the information is out there, but not professional and
floating in a sea of misinformation.
Does anyone know of, or have experience with, resources or studies
related to how people engage with a parent company and a wide variety
of related brands/entities?

LA Ink: Season 3, Vol. 1 DVD
Buy the LA Ink Season 3 DVD set containing episodes 1-13 for another thrill-packed year in the rock 'n' roll lifestyle of Hollywood-based tattoo artist Kat Von D, and the crazy crew of her popular shop, LA Ink.
This title is exclusive to the Discovery Channel Store.
Kat's Back - In The LA Ink Season 3 DVD set containing episodes 1-13, Kat returns to her beloved Los Angeles after being away for months on her book tour- the longest she's been away from LA Ink. The shop's more successful than ever and even busier now that Hannah and Kim are gone.
Stranger in my Shop - The shop, in the LA Ink DVDs from season three, episodes 1 to 13, is slammed so Kat goes against her policy of only hiring people she knows, bringing in Amy as a possible new tattoo artist. While Aubrey does her best to learn the ropes, Amy tries to prove herself.
Kat Bares It All - In the LA Ink videos from Season 3, Kat bares it all at a New York photo shoot to promote her new cosmetic line rendering her tattoo-less. Kat convinces her good friend, Nikko, to guest spot for a couple days and he wows everyone with a gory portrait.
Aubry Tries To Help - In the LA Ink Season Three DVDs, episodes 1 - 13, Aubry's on thin ice with the shop when she tries to win the team over with her crazy antics. She finally crosses the line when she tries to redecorate Kat's station and her future as shop manager is in jeopardy.
Tick, Tock, Biological Clock - In the LA Ink Season 3 DVD set containing episodes 1-13, Aubry's efforts to fit in have been causing tension in the shop, so Kat calls on everyone to make her feel welcome. In her own attempt to reach out, Kat sets Aubry up on a blind date with a good friend, where Aubry drops the "I want a baby" bomb.
While Kat's Away, Aubry Will Play - In the LA Ink DVDs from Season 3, when Kat finds out she must travel back to New York City to help promote her new fragrance line, she brings in tattoo artist, Dan Smith, to help out in the busy shop. Meanwhile, Aubry's antics wear Adrienne down as the work piles up.
Feelings Rule - Kat, in the LA Ink videos from season three, episodes 1 to 13, begins a second book based on her private tattoo journals work that triggers deep emotional reactions. Aubry ponders getting a tattoo, Paulie worries about not getting any clients and his feelings hit the boiling point.
Tramp Stamp of Approval - When Kat, in the LA Ink Season Three DVDs, learns Aubry's getting a tattoo she's concerned that Aubry isn't doing it for the right reasons. Aubry was planning to get a tattoo anyway but she's also hoping that getting one at the shop will have the added bonus of earning her some respect.
Sobriety & Sisterhood -Learn, in the LA Ink Season 3 DVD set containing episodes 1-13, that Kat's been clean and sober for two years, and the shop wants to mark the occasion with a special surprise. Kat celebrates her own way by tattooing her sister Karoline. In the meantime, Aubry is planning to hit the stage and perform standup comedy.

quarter has
passed and Apple has yet again blown
away analyst earnings predictions. You'd think that the
tired Wall Street gurus would have learned by now.Leading the
way was an incredible 14.1 million iPhones shipped. Analysts
predicted that Apple, beleaguered by fierce
competition from Google's Android army and fallout from
the iPhone
4's faulty antenna, would only ship 11 million iPhones during the
quarter. As usual, Apple's customers unquestioning
loyalty and willingness to overlook the company's quality
slip-ups proved a valuable asset.Macs sales also looked
promising, with 3.89 million units shipped, versus an analyst
prediction of 3.7 million units. The strong iPhone and Mac
sales propelled quarterly revenue soaring to $20.34B USD (versus a
consensus estimate of $18.9B USD). Similarly, profits were up
to $4.31B USD, handsomely surpassing estimates.Apple's
earnings did showcase some troublesome signs, though.
Particularly worrisome for Apple, its brand-new iPad. I twas forecast
to move 4.7 million units, but only moved 4.19 million units, a sign
of slowing sales. And sales of iPods came in a 9.05 million
units, falling short of the predicted 10 million units.Its
prediction of $4.80 (USD) earnings per share for its quarter in
December also fell short of the bullish analyst consensus of
$5.04.These results led to an unusual trading pattern in
Apple's stock after hours. Despite reporting what seems a
blowout quarter, these telltale signs of weakness sent Apple stock
approximately $21/share, approximately a 6.6 percent drop. This
drop returned the stock to beneath $300, a mark that the stock just
passed for the first time early this month.
such is the fate of an unusual company like Apple whose customers are
fiercely loyal, whose actions are over scrutinized, and who continues
to deliver plenty of surprises come earnings day.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Joe Paterno put speculation about the "R" word -- retirement -- to rest a week before the Outback Bowl.
Now he's dismissing the next letter in the alphabet -- S, as in "succession."
During his season wrapup press conference Sunday morning, Paterno emphatically rejected the idea that he's had or wants to have discussions concerning a potential successor.
When a reporter asked whether he anticipates a conversation about it with school president Graham Spanier and Tim Curley, Paterno talked through the question by saying, "no, no no!"
He enunciated each "no." His voice was even but firm, and his resolve, at 84 and coming off a 7-6 season after Saturday's 37-24 loss to Florida in the Outback Bowl, amused the room full of reporters.
While his amazing desire to continue may be admirable, this also would be a very appropriate time, what with the all-time Division I-A victory record (401) safe forever and the Nittany Lions having performing well under their potential for several seasons.
But as has been the case for 20-plus years, Paterno is focused more on adding recruits and patching holes than he is concerned about public perception.
"I intend to be here," he said.
And without a co-pilot.
Paterno was named Rip Engle's associate head coach in 1965 -- although that seemed to be news to him on Sunday -- and took over a year later.
Fran Ganter was named to a similar capacity in 2000 because Paterno thought Ganter could succeed him. Ganter had turned down a chance to become head coach at Michigan State a few years earlier and was drawing interest.
"But I kept going," Paterno said, "and Franny got out of it" in 2004, two years after his wife, Karen, died suddenly.
Since then, Paterno has not wanted to promote any of his current assistants to that level because, he said Sunday, "I don't want to name a successor."
He said he's more concerned about making sure his assistant coaches are taken of "in case something happens to me." Penn State put severance packages in place for the assistants a couple of years ago and likely will continue to do so until Paterno's departure.
"I'm more interested in protecting the assistant coaches than I am anything else," he said. "I want to make sure they don't leave some guy hanging out there who doesn't have a job, who has got a lot of little kids. So we've made some arrangements for the staff."
One of the three assistants with young children is Paterno's son, Jay, who coaches the quarterbacks. Paterno has said in the past he doesn't want his son to succeed him, and while Paterno is hopeful for an in-house transition someday, the university may not share that position.
Meanwhile, it was ironic that Paterno publicly endorsed defensive coordinator Tom Bradley for the Pitt job Sunday but has made no such specific commitment to the PSU throne.
Athletic director Tim Curley met the media here a few days ago and probably would have preferred a root canal. Curley said he looks forward to the usual end-of-season meeting with Paterno, a process he conducts with all of Penn State's coaches.
And therein is part of the rub: While JoePa hangs on and wants to be consulted on the next coach, whenever that may be, Penn State, which has only been to two BCS games in the 13 years of the BCS existence, may have and may need a grander vision at that point.
It's tough to have a succession plan when the two parties involved don't agree on a successor. Or aren't talking about one.
And that's where we are, like it or not.
Penn State loves to boast, and understandably so, about its iconic national treasure that JoePa truly is.
At the same time, Paterno has said, "I haven't thought about getting out of it," and his reluctance if not outright refusal to help orchestrate the process -- to work with the university, rather than against it -- weakens the program's future and its ability to attract the best possible players and coaches to lead it into an expanded Big Ten.
Maybe Paterno will see 2011, the supposed last year of his contract, as the last hurrah.
Maybe the young team of 2010 will be equal to greater challenges next year, maybe beat Iowa and Ohio State, maybe stop having punts blocked, maybe start upsetting favored teams again.
If and when that happens, the subject of how long JoePa wants to continue coaching will go away.

Babs said we need to add another top six forward, fwiw
False, he say he'd like to add another top six forward, he never said we needed one. As stated a million times, every coach will say they'd like to add a top six forward and top 4 DMan. Holland has stated that their top 9 is pretty much set. No coach or GM will say that their team isn't going to add anyone, that breed complacency throughout the team.
Which will make a team work harder? "Everyone's job is safe and no additions need to be made" or "If we need to add a piece here or there, we're going to do it, we're always looking to improve."? Exactly.

Molly Ringwald may be the most nostalgia-inducing star for a generation of movie-goers, but she is not one to get sentimental about things like, say, pregnancy.
When asked if she loves expecting twins, she tells Fit Pregnancy with a laugh, "No. I don't hate it, though. There is something wonderful about it."
Ringwald, who announced her pregnancy in December, says that the limitations of carrying twins takes getting used to. "I find it difficult to be restricted in my movements and to feel vulnerable all the time," she says. "I am used to feeling very strong and active."
But she's still thrilled about her growing family. "It's exciting, especially since it's a boy and girl," she says about the twins who are due in August. "Also, since there is such a big age difference with my daughter (Mathilda, 5), it's nice that they will have each other. I won't have to scramble for playdates."
Ringwald, 41, stopped weightlifting during her pregnancy, but has remained active, instead using yoga and walking to stay in shape. "The priority for me has been resting," she says. "I know my body will come back.

Solid User Experience.
You want to have a website your users are going to love to, well, use. Beyond appealing design and functional applications, it has to make your user feel something—and ideally, something really positive.
Creating the Happy User.
Great websites aren't just about creating a nice looking page. They also need to be accessible, valuable, and credible. User experience addresses these objectives throughout the entire design and development process without forgetting about your bottom line. If your website creates a positive and productive online experience, people will use it and share it.
Multitude of Benefits.
User experience design is a dynamic field that carries a lot of weight, but outside the ultimate goal of a satisfied user, the benefits can be extraordinary. We are able to prevent a majority of issues from the beginning, save on resources, and increase return on investment. As experienced UX designers, we know what it takes to create the necessary symphony of elements to put the best out there for your users.
Utilizing User Experience to Your Advantage.
The way the user interacts with and feels about your website is vital to its success. We work from the ground up to create the best possible online experience for your user.
Surveys, Focus Groups, and Interviews
Surveys, focus groups, and interviews are a few ways we like to directly interact with potential users to garner specific information about a project. These types of observation are not appropriate for every project, but we will help you determine if they would be beneficial to you and can also facilitate such testing.
Usability Testing
Usability Testing can be an indispensable part of proper user experience design. It allows us as designers and developers to engage users during the building process to determine what is working and what still needs some adjustment through real-time interaction with a user. There are several ways we can conduct usability testing, but as a whole, the process is valuable in creating a positive user experience with the final product.
Persona Development
Developing web personas in the early phases of web design is an incredibly helpful way to identify the different behaviors and personality traits of your target audience. We then use the insight gleaned from those personas to develop a website that better focuses on the needs and wants of your specific audience.
Interactive Prototyping and Wireframes
Interactive prototyping allows us to breathe some life into the preliminary designs we share with clients. Prototypes are also a great way to start experiencing the website as it is built, to gain valuable feedback from the client and to save on overall time and resources.

The Thomas B. Fordham Institute's report The State of State Science Standards -- the first comprehensive review of state science standards since 2000 -- was released on December 7, 2005. According to the Fordham Institute's description:
Science education in America is under attack, with "discovery learning" on one flank and the Discovery Institute on the other. That's the core finding of our just-released comprehensive review of state science standards, the first since 2000. Written by pre-eminent biologist Paul R.
Writing on the space.com website (December 1, 2005), Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute debunks a common claim of the "intelligent design" movement: that "intelligent design" uses the same methodology, and thus is as scientifically credible, as the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
In a provocatively titled column in the December 4, 2005, issue of The New York Times, Laurie Goodstein considers whether "Intelligent Design Might Be Meeting Its Maker." Although "intelligent design" might seem to be making headway in the headlines, she writes, "intelligent design as a field of inquiry is failing to gain the traction its supporters had hoped for." The scientific productivity of the "intelligent design" movement is meager, she notes, and "[o]n college campuses, the moveme

Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872 & located primarily in Wyoming, was America's first national park. To this day, Yellowstone remains one of the country's most popular national parks with millions of annual visitors. Yellowstone spans almost 3,500 miles, and extends into parts of Montana and Idaho, making it one of the largest national parks in the US.
Yellowstone National Park sits on top of a dormant volcano and is home to more geysers and hot springs than any other place on earth. Approximately 50 percent of the world's hydrothermal features are at Yellowstone National Park. The most famous of all the geysers is Old Faithful, one of the most popular and recognized natural wonders in the United States.
Yellowstone Weather
Because of the park's high elevation, Yellowstone weather varies dramatically from season to season, and even day to day. You may find snow in the summer months or 80 degree temperatures in the fall, so pack multiple layers of clothing and gear for all weather types when visiting Yellowstone.
Yellowstone Tours and Camping
Most of the guided Yellowstone tours span multiple days, given the park's size. One-day tours are available, however, for those with limited time. Be advised that weather can restrict what you are able to see and how you travel to different park areas. For example, winter tours may be led by snowcoach or snowmobile.
There are 12 sites available for camping at Yellowstone. Visitors wishing to hike in to a campsite may utilize a designated "backcountry" camping area. As bears are a primary concern when camping in Yellowstone, food poles are provided at most campsites. Bear safety tips include not packing foods with strong odors and changing out of clothes worn while cooking meals. When traveling or camping in the park, bring a Yellowstone National Park map and ask Yellowstone park rangers for additional safety tips.
Yellowstone Wildlife
In addition to its numerous geological features, Yellowstone National Park also has plentiful wildlife. Yellowstone is home to the oldest and largest bison herd in the United States, along with wolves, elk and grizzly bears. The wildlife is a huge draw for photographers who visit the park to capture Yellowstone animals in their natural habitat. Fishermen travel to Yellowstone for the opportunity to catch the highly sought after native cutthroat trout, as well as other non-native trout species.

NEWELL - The sale of Newell Memorial Field began quietly enough at a June meeting of the Hancock County school board, but it didn't take long for people to take up sides on the issue.
How should the property be sold? To whom should it be sold? For how much? What should it be used for?
As the school board wrestled with those questions, it also found itself in the middle of a battle for public support. While some people praised the board for its circumspect handling of the sale, others questioned the board's motives and methods - especially its reluctance to deal with the Chester Volunteer Fire Department and the city of Chester.
"Despite what people think, all five of us (board members) are concerned about what happens to the community," board President Jerry Durante said Friday after the board accepted the Hancock County commissioners' offer of $400,000 for the Newell and Weirton stadium properties.
The pending sale to the commissioners means the Newell property will likely be steered away from recreational uses and toward economic development - an outcome that community leaders say they could not have anticipated but that could have been a lot worse.
Beverly Enochs, president of the Newell Community Improvement Coalition, said her organization wanted the school board to consider ways of disposing of the property other than a public auction.
Fact Box
What follows is a timeline of events related to the sale of Newell Memorial Field and the old Jimmy Carey Stadium in Weirton:
* June 19, 2012-Hancock County school board declares both stadiums surplus property in anticipation of the completion of new multi-sports complexes at Oak Glen and Weirton high schools.
* July 2-Chester fire Chief John Hissam sends a letter to Superintendent Suzan Smith offering to buy the Newell stadium property for a "donation" of $150,000, to be paid in three yearly installments. The offer is later increased to $300,000.
* July 16-Smith rejects Hissam's offer, saying she is constrained by a state law that says school boards cannot negotiate with non-governmental agencies.
* Aug. 13-The school board sets the public auction date for both stadium properties for Oct. 5.
* Aug. 27-Sue Thompson, treasurer of the Newell Community Improvement Coalition, tells the school board of the community's misgivings over the proposed sale of the Newell stadium and submits a list of petition signatures.
* Aug. 31-Hissam goes public about the fire department's attempts to buy the Newell property.
* Sept. 10-The school board votes 3-2 to reject Smith's rules for the Oct. 5 auction, including a requirement for a 10 percent down payment and a lump-sum payment soon thereafter. The board also removes Jimmy Carey Stadium from the auction. Thompson attends the meeting and reiterates her objections to the auction.
* Sept. 24-Smith tells the school board the Oct. 5 auction will be postponed.
* Oct. 1-The city of Chester offers to facilitate the sale of Newell Memorial Field to the fire department for $250,000, using money from an anonymous, private donor. The offer dies for lack of interest by the school board.
* Oct. 8-The school board reschedules the auction for Oct. 25 under slightly revised rules and sets the minimum bid at $250,000. Thompson attends the meeting and reiterates her objections to the auction.
* Oct. 25-Auction held for Newell Memorial Field, with only one bidder, Hissam, bidding $50,000.
* Oct. 29-The school board rejects Hissam's bid, saying it was $200,000 too low.
* Nov. 4-Newell businessman Tommy Ogden writes a letter to the editor of The Review saying he would be willing to pay $250,000 for the Newell property and would consult with Hancock County commissioners on how to pursue economic development on part of the property.
* Nov. 5-The city of Chester and Hissam make a second joint offer on the Newell property, saying they would be willing to pay $250,000 up front.
* Nov. 13-The school board passes on the latest Chester offer and reschedules the auction for Nov. 30. Ogden attends the meeting and explains his proposal to the board.
* Nov. 19-The school board postpones the auction indefinitely after meeting with two Hancock County commissioners and an economic development official from Weirton.
* Nov. 24-Protesters organized by Oak Glen High School alumnus Jackson Wilson meet in front of Newell Memorial Field, chanting slogans against the school board.
* Nov. 26-Hancock County commissioners, in a special meeting, vote 3-0 to offer the school board $400,000 for both stadium properties, saying they want to market the land for economic development purposes.
* Nov. 29-Ogden and former West Virginia delegate Pat McGeehan fax an alternative offer to the school board, saying they would be willing to outbid the commissioners, to the tune of $425,000, if the sale were done by public auction.
* Nov. 30-The school board votes 3-1 to accept the commissioners' offer.
"We wanted to do what was right to protect the field from something unknown coming in or something we would have no control over," Enochs said. "We don't have any government here Newell. We're not trying to act as government, but we are concerned. This was a big concern for the community."
Coalition treasurer Sue Thompson attended board meetings throughout the summer, advocating for options other than an auction. The coalition wanted Chester fire Chief John Hissam to succeed in his efforts to buy the property.
"We worked closely with Chief Hissam, hoping they could make it work. We knew what their intentions were for the field," Enochs said.
The fire department wanted to develop the stadium for community use and for use by its annual Fall Bash fundraiser.
Now that the fire department is out of the running, "we are very happy that our county commissioners stepped in to help our community," Enochs said. "We will be working with them too. Everybody could use the development. I don't want to see our town die."
Enochs said she's confident the commissioners won't do anything to harm the community.
The lesson, she said, is to be actively involved in community issues. "Don't sit back and complain. Find out the laws, find out the rules, find out the situation. If you're not involved in it, things'll pass right by you," she said.
In the fire department's five attempts since July to acquire the property, Hissam said he learned that "you have to have politics, money and influence on your side to do much of anything. Without one of the three, you're in trouble. We had the money and the influence, but we didn't have the politics."
Hissam said he has no regrets about the fire department's involvement or his $50,000 bid, on Oct. 25, that the school board rejected as too low. He said he has done "not one bit" of second guessing about that bid, the only one placed at the auction.
"People are saying we could have got it in the auction, ... but with no one else bidding, why would I spend $250,000 when I didn't need to? I was the only bidder there," he said. "No one else bothered to take the trip to New Cumberland. I drove to New Cumberland in 20 minutes, and they could have done the same thing. They chose to sit it out. Now I'm the bad guy? Because I wouldn't bid against myself?"
Regardless, Hissam said he is grateful for all the community support he received, and he holds no ill will toward the county commissioners.
"I hope it works for them. We need jobs," he said. "But I also think it's important for the community to have public land."

The time is approaching to get my feet wet in China with a "Rush." A new adventure begins, but before that, massage & dinner with Da Wifey.
This is only my opinion...I think Allan Wu is not a very good host.Rovilson Fernandez would make a better host of TARA.I am biased though since I am a Filipino... lolBut when you see Rovilson hosting TV shows here in the Phils. like the Sports Unlimited show before, you would agree with me
Alan is fine as a host. There's only one thing which he does on the show which is pretty disturbing.*commentary*Alan: This is blah blah blah, home of the blah blah blah and also *DRAMA* *OPEN ARMS* *PAUSES* THE FIFTH PITSTOP *PAUSES* *SMILES* *DRAMA*.. IN A RACE AROUND THE WORLD.And he's been doing it pretty often this season.
Got a big announcement coming up soon so look out for it! 😉

WASHINGTON – There's nothing good about a loss. Whether it's a blowout or a close setback, it's a big, fat zero in the points column.
After their third straight loss Sunday, the Buffalo Sabres tried to keep a positive attitude. They know the 3-2 decision in Washington isn't good enough, but they feel they at least got closer to doing what's needed to earn victories.
"I'm not going to say it was a great game, but I saw some things we did a lot better," goaltender Ryan Miller said in Verizon Center. "It's coming around a little better, but we've got to find ways to get these to overtime and start pulling out some points."
Washington finally did. The Capitals earned their first win in five games, becoming the second team in a week to get their opening "W" against Buffalo. Carolina earned back-to-back wins to start the Sabres' skid.
"It's just little things now," Buffalo defenseman Jordan Leopold said. "It's not anything big. It's attention to detail. We had a couple minor mistakes, but it's a learning curve early in the year. There's not a lot of time to recoup those points that you end up losing."
The Sabres learned Sunday morning that Thomas Vanek would have to sit with a muscle strain. Since the ailing winger accounted for nearly one-third of Buffalo's limited offensive output through the first four games, it was assumed the Sabres would struggle to generate scoring chances.
The assumption proved correct. Tyler Ennis scored with 10 minutes gone and Marcus Foligno found the net with 10 minutes to go, but there was little in between as Buffalo took 24 shots.
"There were a lot plays there I liked, from forcing turnovers to getting on top of people to not giving them time to bottling up the neutral zone," coach Lindy Ruff said. "We just as a team have to do a better job around the front of their net. We're not getting enough bodies there."
Vanek is typically a force in front, but he was unavailable after tweaking a muscle while falling awkwardly Friday. He might return Tuesday when the Sabres host Toronto in First Niagara Center.
"I anticipated really that Thomas was going to be able to play," Ruff said. "I thought cases like this you can usually bounce back, but it's a day-to-day type situation."
Vanek's linemates, Cody Hodgson and Jason Pominville, missed him. They failed to get a point after combining for 11 in the opening four games.
"Some other guys really picked their game up, had good games where they'd been struggling, and a couple of our top guys didn't quite have it," Ruff said.
Ennis got Buffalo off to a solid start by finding the net with 9:34 gone. Drew Stafford raced to a loose puck near center ice and fed Steve Ott to his left. Ott quickly went across the ice to Ennis, who glided through the slot and slipped a backhand under the outstretched pad of Michal Neuvirth.
It the first goal by a Sabres player not named Vanek, Hodgson or Pominville since the season opener.
Washington knotted things before the first intermission. Jason Chimera took a shot from the corner, and Miller kicked it directly into the slot. Joel Ward corralled it and slid it past Miller with 3:58 to go.
Defenseman John Erskine's shot from just inside the point struck the stick of Hodgson and caromed past Miller midway through the second.
Washington's winner on the power play was exactly how the team draws it up in practice. Mike Ribeiro got the puck low on the right side of Buffalo's zone. He passed to the right point for Mike Green, who slid a cross-ice pass to Alex Ovechkin. He buried a one-timer for his first goal of the season before Miller could move across to get in the way.
"My read could have been a little bit better," the goalie said. Foligno cashed in a close-range rebound with 9:47 left to get a rise from the Buffalo backers in the crowd of 18,506, but the Caps sent the Sabres home with another loss.
"We needed to break this skid here," Leopold said. "Now we need to look to another day."

Warmup group is on the ice and we should be starting here any minute. Troy Tomasello is up first.
Hey, I'm an Emanuel Savary fan! I wasn't crazy about him after the SP, but this program suits him so much better. He's a lyrical skater, and such an amazingly happy one.(He should get together with Polina Edmunds.) Love the Ina Bauer at the beginning! Hopefully the jumps will get more solid.
Last edited by Spun Silver; 01-24-2012 at 11:51 PM.
I'm not getting any either. I didn't get any for junior ladies last night. I think the person that does them is asleep on the job
Nathan Chan just rocked it tonight! Seven triples within five jumping passes (WOW!) and I absolutely LOVE his skating skills! 130+ score with no triple axel is amazing!
Nathan was very good. All of his jumps were right on. Really distanced himself from the other two medalists. Got a partial standing O from the crowd. I was standing up and cheering for him. During warmup, he fell on his lutz. HARD. Then regrouped and landed a triple lutz triple toe. I thought Philip Warren should score a bit higher than he got. His only mistake was a touchdown on a lutz? Dolensky was really tight the entire time. His jumps were scratchy and shaky. Should get -GOE on every single one of them.
All three didn't have the best ice coverage. They aren't the fastest in the group either.
Again, during the warm up, they skated freer and faster.
3Lz+3T from little Nathan? If only the Senior Ladies champion could do that!
The Junior ladies champion may well be able to do one. She did a dynamite 3F3T in her SP.
Which causes me to ask the question, if the senior ladies are every one a hot mess, could the USFS send Gracie Gold to Worlds or at least 4CC's rather than sending the poorer performing senior ladies to Junior Worlds, which is their usual MO.
Back to the guys, I'm eating my words about Nathan being too young for juniors as I realize he already won novice twice and has nowhere else to go. He still seems like a child prodigy to me though -- I can't get too excited about him yet.
Still loving Philip Warren. What's so amazing about him is the perfection of his presentation - that program was completely smooth and in character and every position was good. He is gifted with beautiful line and connects with the audience. All he needs is a bit more power on the jumps and a bit more speed and he looks strong enough to get those.
Timothy Dolensky has a very different style - fleet and sharp. Also great to watch.
Congrats and best wishes to all three!
Gracie has 3Lz+3T in her LP and hasn't missed it at home in IDK how long in a run through, so you will likely see it tonight.
It would be VERY unusual to send the Junior National Champion to Senior Championship events (keeping my fingers crossed I didn't jinx her!!)
The MO of USFS in the last few years has been to send a lower ranked, age eligible Senior lady (or 2) and the Junior Champion to JWs. This has included Vanessa Lam and Agnes Z last season.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Post and Courier previously profiled all Republican and Democratic 1st Congressional District candidates. This profile is of the only third-party candidate in the race.
Compared with the major political party candidates seeking the 1st Congressional District seat, Green Party hopeful Eugene Platt is saying something different.
For instance, he not only is calling for nationalizing health care and ending overseas military entanglements, but he also says he'll probably lose on May 7.
"To be candid, I'm not expecting to win this election," he says, "but I'm not expecting to be embarrassed, either."
Platt, 74, says he will not be embarrassed as long as he gets at least 10 percent of the vote against Republican former Gov. Mark Sanford and Democratic businesswoman Elizabeth Colbert Busch.
That may be an ambitious goal given the shape of the race.
While Platt was included in earlier forums during primary season, he has been relatively invisible in recent weeks, partly because he has not been invited to any candidate forums.
Asked about the snub, he says "not only is it frustrating, but also angering."
Such forums provide Platt one of his main avenues to introduce himself to voters because he doesn't expect to raise or spend more than $5,000 on the race.
Platt says most of his campaign is reaching out to personal contacts he has and using social media.
Platt ran for the 1st District seat as a Democrat but lost that 1990 election to incumbent Republican Arthur Ravenel.
Since then, Platt has served about two decades on the James Island Public Service District Commission and made several unsuccessful runs for the District 115 Statehouse seat.
Asked what prompted him to enter this 1st District race, Platt says he believes the country's democracy isn't being well served by having only two political parties, so he is doing what he can to make the Green Party a viable competitor.
"We Greens feel it is important for the voters to have more, not less, choices," he says.
"Election after election, voters complain about not having more of a choice than 'either-or' and express a desire, in effect, to have the option of saying 'No' to both corporate party candidates."
He says the economy is the biggest issue, and the Green Party's positions on health care, social justice and ending foreign wars would lead to more jobs and put the country back on track.
He favors a single-payer health care system, similar to what Canada has, and calls the Iraq war "the single greatest foreign policy blunder in U.S. history."
Platt received more than 9 percent of the vote during his last Statehouse run in 2010 but acknowledges that building the Green Party into a contender is "slow" and "very incremental" work.
"The fact we do have a presence here and are qualified (to be on the ballot) is encouraging," he adds.

I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but at the same time I'm very confident that we'll be getting both of these great players today. I'm confident enough to where I have a buddy ready to make me their jerseys as soon as they are signed and will have them by tomorrow night. I'll be bummed for a day or two if we don't get both, but obviously not putting any blame towards the Wings brass.

That would be awesome. Best person to send really. Only problem is he technically doesn't work for the organisation so he probably can't be involved in influencing a decision one way or another. Heck if I saw him coming up my drive though as a FA, I'd sign the darn contract before he even made it to the door
Neither does Gretzky for the Oilers but he called Schultz for them. Sign Howe to a one day contract every year, July 1st.
I wish Nick would have went with Chelios and Illitch. No one would respect the opinions of Lidstrom more than a guy like Suter. Nick certainly doesn't owe us anything but it would have been a great farewell gesture.
Another person we should hire as our ambassador.

Won't matter, Chelios is going to ride up there on a horse in full cowboy gear all City Slickers style with Ilitch riding shotgun like good ol' Curly. They'll just lasso Suter and take him back to Red Bird II.
One thing = winning? So maybe Billy Crystal is Suter?
This is going to be a long day.... I'm already shot.

LOCKPORT – A Niagara Falls sex offender, awaiting sentencing for three felonies, was arraigned Monday in Niagara County Court on a new indictment accusing him of a series of sex acts with an underage girl in the Falls last year.
Derrick J. Houser, 26, formerly of Cedar Avenue, is charged with second-degree criminal sexual act, two counts of third-degree criminal sexual act, and single counts of third-degree rape and endangering the welfare of a child.
Assistant District Attorney Robert A. Zucco said the alleged victim was 14 when the crimes allegedly began in March 2012 and had turned 15 by the time of the last of four alleged incidents in early May.
Houser, a Level 1 sex offender, pleaded guilty March 8 to two counts of failure to register. He moved to Detroit last June without telling police, and also failed to disclose his Facebook account. Those violations constituted a violation of the terms of his probation for his original offense of attempted first-degree sexual abuse in 2009. He is scheduled for sentencing May 10 on those three felonies.

Priscilla Haden, president of the West Virginia Board of Education, recently visited the RESA 8 Council. Each member of the state BOE visits a RESA, and Haden selected RESA 8.
Present were representatives from all eight RESA 8 counties. Those attending from Berkeley County were board Chairman William Queen and Superintendent Manny Arvon; from Grant County was Superintendent DeEdra Lundeen; from Hampshire County were board member Linda Baker and Superintendent Robin Lewis; from Hardy County were board member Margaret Shriver and Superintendent Barbara Whitecotton; from Jefferson County were Vice Chairman Alan Sturm and Superintendent Susan Wall; from Mineral County were board member Terry Larue and Superintendent Tilden "Skip" Hackworth; from Morgan County were board member David Ambrose and Superintendent David Banks; from Pendleton County were board members Rick Gillespie and Sonny O'Neil and Superintendent Doug Lambert; and from Shepherd University were Russell Porter and Douglas Smith.
Those in attendance from the RESA 8 office were Diane Ansari, Beverly Baccala and Jane Lynch, while Pat Homberg and Ben Shew attended from the West Virginia Department of Education. Brian Collis, Kathy Collis, Matthew Collis and Joseph Hutten Jr. were in attendance to support scholarship recipients Joseph Collis and Jessica Hutten.

There are eight Regional Education Service Agencies in West Virginia. Each RESA is charged with providing education services such as working with counties for school improvement, staff development, cooperative purchasing and computer repair.
"It was great to have Mrs. Haden visit the office and see the progress of our programs. It was wonderful to have an opportunity to showcase our work and demonstrate the community support of RESA 8," said Executive Director Jane Lynch.
Dr. Douglas Smith, professor at Shepherd University, has been a RESA 8 member since its inception. "RESA is one of the less publicized and most effective vehicles for bringing education, health services and family support to the region. It has touched thousands of people's lives since its beginnings in the late 1960s. I am honored to have served on the RESA board for 37 years representing both WVU and Shepherd University," Smith said.
More information about RESA 8 is available on the website at www.resa8.org.

I think it's fair to say that Samsung is not generally well liked by the Korean people, who are outraged, for example, at the high prices the company charges in local markets for their products ("we are all Samsung "patsies" Korean:??, goes the frequent online lament). As brands go, I suspect LG is far more favored emotionally. And, while it's easy as outsiders to make Samsung into a mirror of Korea, I would urge caution. Do Wall Street institutions such as Goldman Sachs and CNBC really represent, for example, the essence of U.S? Sadly, in some manner, yes, but in the most important ways, I believe, no. So, too, Samsung. As an outsider who speaks Korean living here, I am continue to be amazed at the good people, extraordinary culture, and vibrant energy toward building a better future that I see here daily. It's a great place, generally, and using Samsung is a sad way to judge it.

Pregnant with her first child, supermodel Gisele Bündchen is focusing on family and home life these days.
"I am crazy about children ... I am an adoptive mother ... I've already had this experience for two years," she says in a recent TV interview with Brazil's Fantastico, of her relationship with husband Tom Brady's 21-month-old son John Brady, whose mother is actress Bridget Moynahan.
Bündchen also raves about getting hitched this past Spring. "I think I've met the right person, my partner, my companion," she says. "I already knew that we would get married a year and a half before we got married. We felt it. The heart spoke louder."
When the heart speaks, priorities change, she adds. "Before ... I had to go out, had to work. Now I think about it twice, three times, four times. So I only
do the things that I really want to do," Bündchen says. "I prefer to stay at home. The big husband wins. Because of this relationship, what is most important
to me is the family. Now I am creating my other family."
And, in addition to preparing for her new baby, she wants to prepare ... dinner. Says Bündchen, who turns 29 in July, "I am Cancer. I want to stay at home, cooking, relaxing. You
have to follow the heart."
