Every year on New Year's Eve, my husband and I write down five or six resolutions for the upcoming year.
And then we promptly lose the lists within a week.
But I'm beginning to notice an annual familiarity to the list: lose weight, spend more time together, finish that novel/software project/home improvement project. We clink our champagne glasses, tip our party hats and enter the New Year with great intentions.
And then, as it has a habit of doing, life gets in the way.
Time to go to the gym gets scarce, playing with the kids trumps installing new bathroom cabinets and sleep becomes more important than late-night novel writing.
We recycle the resolutions the following New Year's Eve, and it all begins again.
And we're not alone. Statistically, only 8 percent of Americans successfully keep their resolutions.
So this year, I'm resolving not to make resolutions.
Instead, I'm just going to give my all to whatever comes my way. Who knows, maybe I'll get more done without that guilt trip on my shoulder saying, "Tsk, tsk...I knew you wouldn't keep that resolution."
If I don't have a list of things to forget about doing, I'll be ahead of the game all year long!
Last week, at my son's preschool, they did a short unit on New Year's, and they made little 4-year-old resolutions. The paper my son brought home included his one resolution: to have a birthday party for his little brother, with cake, fun and cupcakes. I asked him about it, and he said all he wants to do this year is celebrate things.
Preferably with cupcakes.
I'm going to run with this idea. I'd like to spend the year celebrating. Not trying to do more, or be more or accomplish more. Just celebrating what I'm doing, where I am and who I'm with.
And of course, there will be many batches of cupcakes to make it a real celebration.

I\'d like to spend the year celebrating. Not trying to do more, or be more, or accomplish more.

So far so good. Normally get twinges in my knees and ankles but haven't had any issues since I started taking this.
After trilling this for a couple of weeks, I would say its beneficial as soreness and the ache within joints of my knee where I had issue previous seemed to dull down after taking one tab a day for about 10 days.Goes Well With:Squash, Water, Preworkout, Juice
A week in and already feeling more flexible, great value too.
got the 360 pills and the guide says one a day so i should be set! i also bought msm + glucosamine hcl + chondroitin which is supposed to help absorption. i've been taking them together for around 2 weeks and definitely feel much better in my ankles and kneesGoes Well With:msm,glucosaminehcl.chondroitin
I'm very happy with this product
Bought these as my joints have been giving me a little bit of trouble, as I'm heading to my 40s and have been hitting the weights for many years now. My elbows have been the worst. Been on these around two weeks now and I have noticed a lot of improvement. The pain has not totally gone but it's a lot better and am able to start increasing the weight. Will be adding these to my must have supplement list from now onGoes Well With:BCCA's
Fantastic product that everyone should use! Could not do everything I do without it.
Haven't been using long enough to see a substantial difference yet. Easy to take tablets, may be slightly large for those who struggle with tablets. No taste or coating.
Product is very low in cost and a high serving size, especially if you use the recommended 1 tablet a day. Have minor aches in shoulders and arms but taking these tablets as made a difference and I have been using this product for around a year and will continue to do so, cheap and does what it says on the tub.Goes Well With:Hard work so that your joint's actually hurt. A good balanced diet.
I take Glucosamine after gym every day to recover faster after the hard training I make . Vert good productGoes Well With:MIlk, Impact whey protein
I read spot of reviews about this product before I bought them. I'd been suffering from elbow pain for a while and thought I'd give this a go. Some of the reviews said it was "almost" instant relief and I can completely agree. Within a couple of days the pain had gone completely. I'm almost to the end of a 360 tablet tub and during that time I've rarely forgotten to take them but when I have my discomfort returns. Thoroughly recommend! And for the price worth a punt at least!!!Goes Well With:Water
I had some strange pain in my knee. I'm an athlete (specific javelin thrower) and I really need healthy joints for my hard trainings. Pain has gone after two weeks of using and my shoulders are more "flexible" in bone sense. I'm satisfied and defently recommend to anyone with joint pains.Goes Well With:Water
Excellent product. Excellent value for a great product.
They have really made me feel loads better when i work out had problems with some joints and with 2 weeks i am able to do the lifts i couldnt before because of pain Goes Well With:My protein daily vitamins
as always great product does help with joint pain
"Does what it says on the tin"
Great product, does what its says on the box and not too big to swallow like most supplements.
This stuff is great really helped with my clicky knees and very easy to swallow just need to remember to take it every day lol
I had a cartilage problem behind my right knee and was really struggling to push off that knee and bend down, it was really uncomfortable. I did some research and saw this and all the reviews raving about it and I was like no its too good to be true, but I tried it and it really is a brilliant supplement, 2 weeks of taking it and my knee pain is almost gone and its alot stronger aswell. Like I said it the title, it's a god tablet! Goes Well With:Alpha Men
Glucosamine Sulphate is best buy supplement for occasional knee pain after long distance running on hard ground such as asphalt... Results are visible few weeks after start taking one pill a day. For people with more than 75 kg weight recommended dosage by most study is 1500 mg (one and a half pill).Goes Well With:Water, Omega 3
This is a first class product. If you suffer from pains in your elbows then one of these tablets is a must for you to get rid of the pain. Works wonders for me.
Another high quality, low priced supplement from MyProtein. Tablets are easy to swallow despite their size.Goes Well With:Time (for it to work)
I take one of these daily with my breakfast. I feel like they help my joints considering how much I train, and they are great value.
Recomend to all who have problems whith joints. In my case knees. Big portion in one tablet 1000mg. Realy good difference in quality, quantity and price. Go for it.Goes Well With:Water, juice, tea...
I've been taking cod liver oil tablets for a long time as I have always had problems with my joints, I've been on these tablets for 2/3 weeks and can actually tell they are working, I ache less at night. Really impressed, will be using these for a very long time.Goes Well With:Aching Joints
Excellent value.
Great product, solved my joint problems. I use it every day, no side effects only results. Goes Well With:plenty of water
I bought these after my doctor suggested I cut back on Cod Liver Oil, and my trainer suggested Glucosamine instead. I compete in a wide variety of sports/events, triathlon, running, cycling, mountain biking etc and so I am keen to look after my joints. These are fairly large tablets but they are relatively easy to swallow. Goes Well With:Water
After going through a pot of the this supplement, which were very easy to swallow and worked well I thought I'd try these as they are cheaper. Unfortunately when you go to wash the tablet down with a little water it starts dissolving and is very powdery and consequently extremely difficult to swallow. I'm sure they work but the HCL's are much easier to take.
This definitely works, I was getting what I call weight-lifters elbow and after taking this for the 1st 2 week the joint pain had gone. It is also helping my recovery speed from having spinal surgery. I have been on it for over a month and never looked back.Goes Well With:any drink
I've been taking it regularly for some time now. As soon as I get now. I've ordered another lot as it's the best GS I've tried.
This is the best priced glucosamine I've seen. It's really easy to order and fast delivery.
I've only been taking these for a week or so, so I cannot give accurate feedback, but I suffer from joint pain a lot - knees from running, and recently a buggered back from squats (form gave out). Since taking this supplement my joints have been less painful, but that could be due to the rest. I know this chemical is sold in most health shops so I have no doubt of it's effectiveness, I just haven't seen it yet. I would still recommend a friend to look into it if they suffered regular joint problems thoughGoes Well With:Aching joints
I used to experience hip pain when squatting that would remain with me for a couple of days. I starting taking this product from a friend's recommendation, and after about 2 weeks of taking it the pain went away and hasn't been back. It's great for anyone with joint problems or anyone concerned about their joints.
Good value when compared to other brands. I'm taking it in conjunction with MP Omega 3,which is also excellent value. Currently at the loading phase (2 weeks in) so unsure of its effectiveness yet. I've had disc problems so am interested to see if it helps. I think it takes 2-3 months for it to start to take effect.Goes Well With:MP Omega 3 MP Vitamin D3
Quality item. I find it helps my dodgy knee. You have to take it consistently though to let it build in your system.Goes Well With:Cod liver oil and chondroitin
No complaints. Does exactly what it says on bottle.
I have been using this product for 3 weeks now. I am currently training for a marathon and running 30-40 miles per week, this is a big stress on your knees and ankles when you weigh 16 st 5lb. I cannot tell you the difference this supplement has made, after a 15 mile run I now feel no pain at all. I am sure this will be a solid part of my regime for a long time to come.
Used now for over six months as been on a fitness mission hitting the gym. Orderd due to noticing pain in my elbows and knee joints after the first few weeks off hitting the gym and work a treat. Started off my taking two a day and never looked back no pain what so ever. Recommend to all
"Take everyday, no joint pain, simple as that. Tastes disgusting but I don't know why that should really matter to be honest. I run a lot and do weights a lot. "
"what a great product! Had bad tennis elbow for a good 8 months, a friend recommended this product and within 2 weeks I was pain free!!!!! I cannot speak highly enough of this product and would recommend it to anyone who has niggling injuries or pain."
"Glucosamine itself seems to help, I have arthiritis from years of weights and rugby and it seems to ease aches, but why anyone under 30 takes it I do not know. \nAs fo MP - price and honesty of product excellent!"
"I had this condition for some time in my early 20's and almost gave up lifting at the recommendation of my (no longer) physio. After some research I discovered that this supplement can potentially help. I began taking a large dose twice a day for several months and it gradually got better until today, when I am pain free.\n\nGranted the condition can vanish by itself, but I suffered with it for a long period of time and the only relief (besides NSAID's) was this. I now take as a precaution."
"Im only young i suppose (19) and i notice my joints are all pretty bad with clicking/crackin and aching, not just after a workout. i wanted to make sure this dosent escalate so invested in straps and found these. everywere else they are probably 2 or 3 times as much but contain exactly the same stuff... only just started using them so should help my wrists especially. Tasteless and easy to take."
"Been taking this for 4 months now twice a day (one tablet am one pm). I had a real problem with my knees after heavy seasons, the next day i would have this nasty pain in them, now the next day the pain is no longer there."
"Well what can I say. Price is as always amazing deal. Been having medium to bad left shoulder pain for about three months. Shoulder got injured through work. It would come and go but never went. Started at 1 tablet, and after 1week the pain rely started to ease. Bumped it up to two tablets split between breakfast and evening meals. Even my knees are feeling better. Anyone reading this esp younger lifters I would put this on my must have supplement list. Prevention is always better than a cure. Pity I never knew about this when I first started to lift weights, would of been using these from day one."
I used to get slight twitching pains in my left shoulder joint while doing heavy shoulder exercises. I started using these and i no longer suffer from that shoulder pain. Means i can concentrate on my lifting and starting adding more weight. I use 2 tablets every morning (2000mg's).\nGreat price too!

So, she's 26 months old. And I mostly want to be done with breastfeeding but not enough to make it stop. If I let her nurse whenever she wanted, it would be all I did every time I sat down. So I do have to tell her "no", and that she can have it at nighttime when we go to bed. That is usually a satisfying answer.
As always, of course if she is not feeling well or needs comfort, nursing is not 100% a night time thing.
And I can be away from her for a night or two (not a regular thing but I have done it) and it doesn't affect either of us.
That's how we do things right now.
I joke that she is totally the child that will still want to nurse when she is five years old and I don't mean it to be funny- it's quite a possible reality if I peek into the future, considering her current two-year old self, and so it's a we'll cross that bridge when we come to it kinda thing.
But right now? I don't see this as "extended" - I see it as "continuing."
She's just two. And totally still my baby.

Specs for Black Diamond Icon Headlamp:
This is by far the best gear I purchased for my kayak this year. It has performed way beyond my expectations. The long range light is exceptional for open water and the low setting is great for rivers and in camp. I have used this in the Gulf of Mexico miles offshore and on many inland lakes and rivers.

My wife and I decided to purchase headlamps after a couple of camping trips and doing without. We bought two different brands, not knowing which would be best, but by far this is the better. This lamp has an incredible 'high beam' that is a true spot light and several settings for different lighting needs. We do a lot of hiking and now that it is winter do a lot of night hiking and having this incredibly bright lamp makes the experience even more fun. Not sure what brand others are using but this lamp by far is the brightest that I have seen. I have logged several hours (5 or 6 hrs) already and there is no indication that the batteries are running low (still getting the green batteries are fully charged light on). The lamp is light weight and adjusts to different headgear easily. I have also hiked with it in the rain and have had no problems. Excellent light.
This one lives on my caving helmet. This is my second one because I left my original one with my guide in Belize and he loves it. Its design is exceptional. The 4 LED's provide adequate light for most caving activity, switching to the spotlight when needed to see details in a formation and focus my camera. On this recent trip to Belize, we swam/hiked up a stream for 640 meters inside a cave and those 4 little lights were better than a spotlight for reading the rocks through the water so I could avoid hazards. I don't feel weight on my helmet like I did with other headlamps. And the light flips up easily when I am focused and ready to take my photo.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
August 21, 2012
Hundreds of Saint Vincent College students will roll up their sleeves and go to work at community service projects throughout Westmoreland County on the afternoon of Friday, August 24 as the fifth annual Service to the Community Day continues an initiative at the Catholic, Benedictine college to integrate service projects into the experience of every student. Dozens of area non-profit and community organizations will greet groups of students who will be ready to paint, pound, clean, repair, dig, landscape, rake, harvest, and provide other assistance needed by the elderly, disabled and others. Service Learning Director Kelly King said this is the fifth year of this annual project to engage Saint Vincent College students with the community. "This demonstrates our Benedictine mission by giving students an opportunity to serve the region in a very personal way," Ms. King explained. Some of the 37 organizations that will benefit from the students' service include: Agriculture Land Preservation Program, Alabaster Warehouse, American Red Cross, Christ the Divine Teacher School, City of Latrobe, Faith in Action, Emeritus of Latrobe Assisted Living, Greensburg Central Catholic High School, Keystone State Park, Latrobe Parks and Recreation, Latrobe Regional Health and Rehabilitation, Laurel Highlands, Lifeway Pregnancy Center, Ligonier Bethlen Home, McKenna Senior Center, Ligonier Bethlen Cottages, Ligonier Gardens, Mountain View Assisted Living, Nature Commons, Neil Palmer's Farm, New Haven Court Memory Care, NHS School, Oldtimers Baseball League, Pennsylvania CleanWays, Redstone Highlands, St. Anne's Home, St. Emma's, St. John's Church, Latrobe, St. Vincent DePaul, Latrobe, Seton Hill Child Care, St. John's Church, Saint Vincent Archabbey, Saint Vincent Gristmill, Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve, Latrobe Towers, Weatherwood Assisted Living and Westmoreland Community Action. "The project will also provide an opportunity for students to bond with each other as well as with other members of the Saint Vincent community including faculty, administration and staff who will be participating," noted Ms. King. College officials also hope that through service projects students will find a focus to their careers that goes beyond the classroom. In addition to first-year students, nearly 100 upperclassmen who serve on the Orientation Committee and who are mentors to the incoming freshmen and some faculty and staff will also participate. The Office of Service Learning and Community Outreach works with organizations in the area throughout the school year to plan service opportunities for students.

Very unique project
Great distro
Very good!
Great distro, I used to be a big fan of Chakra. Download, burn KaOS iso to DVD, create live usb stick. Run it on my laptop, and hell yeah, I could even upgrade the system using pendrive. In chakra a simple bluetoothd restart required to use bluetooth on my laptop, but KaOS after pacman -Syu bluetooth works. The system runs so fast. Best KDE experience. Simple pacman -Syu, and never ever reinstall until now. Wish the developer good luck, and please keep improve this beautiful arch spin. Thank you.
It is the first time i'm using KaOS on my desktop and it is really great. Out of the box printerconnection, scannerconnection, etc. ... . The theme that is standard is really great, neat and licked. Also the community is really great. Overall range: 9/10 because i had to install skanlite for my scanner, no is just a joke. A big thank you to the developer for this beautiful distro, keep up the good work.

For years, the Boys Scouts of America have taken a stand against openly gay scouts or troop leaders, but that could all change in the near future.
"At the national board meeting next week, they will be having a discussion regarding our membership standards, but that's all the information we have at this point," Westark Area Council scout executive Bryan Feather said.
Just last year, the 103-year-old organization reaffirmed its policy, despite heavy criticism from gay rights groups. Now it sounds as if the ban could be lifted, something many people say they support.
As for local Boy Scout groups, Feather says they will support the decision no matter what it is.
"This is a national membership policy, and every local council agrees to abide by the national policies. So when the national organization makes a determination on a policy, we will follow that policy," Feather said.

TIPTON - Patrick Chambers has two immediate missions: get players and improve Penn State's image in basketball.
He spent Monday evening working the Nittany Lions' local fan base as he delivered an upbeat talk to about 75 well-wishers at DelGrosso Park.
"We're trying to change the perception of who we are and what we want to be," he said. "You have to drum up the interest in basketball, and if they [fans] feel they have relationship with you, they'll come out. I'm trying to create a bond and change the perception that men's basketball is an elite program, a big-time program. You have to act that way."

New Penn?State men's basketball coach Patrick Chambers chats with Sandi Kaminsky at DelGrosso's Amusement Park on Monday evening during a meet-and-greet gathering to promote the Nittany Lions' program.
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
This kind of challenge is not new to Chambers, the former Villanova assistant who took Boston University - "a hockey school," he said - to the NCAA Tournament. Attendance in the early going was around 750 per game, he said, but interest mushroomed to luring 4,000 for the America East championship game.
He hopes to preside over the same kind of growth spurt at PSU.
"The perception is people aren't into basketball [here]," he said. "That's not true. They just went to the NCAA Tournament. It's my job to keep the enthusiasm where it is and take it to a new level."
Chambers, 40, has seen every evidence of a committed administration - another knock on PSU over the years. He said athletic director Tim Curley "texts me every few days, asking me if I need anything," and PSU president Graham Spanier visited with the newly-formed coaching staff to spend time with the assistant coaches.
Since his hiring two months ago, Chambers has criss-crossed the country visiting the current Nittany Lion players and their families and beating the recruiting trails.
"We have good leads on big-time players," he said, adding he will find players that suit him, and Penn State, without worrying about how many stars are attached to a recruit's resume by "someone who might not have even played the game."
The Lions lost standout Talor Battle to graduation and will be rebuilding - to the point where Chambers easily laughed when someone in the audience suggested "no pressure, but it only took [wrestling coach] Cael Sanderson two years. How long will it take you?"
"Be patient," was the coach's response.
The Chambers Era will begin by hosting Hartford on Saturday, Nov. 12 - the same day the Lion football team is hosting Nebraska. Chambers, though, will not shy away from the football shadow. He schmoozed with Joe Paterno over the July 4 weekend at JoePa's summer home in Avalon, N.J., and called it "a thrill of a lifetime."
That was actually the first question - "have you met Joe?" - he got Monday.
"It was awesome," Chambers said. "We sat on his deck, talked about life and philosophy. He gave me some good tidbits on Penn State on how to navigate and how to be successful. Football is the gold standard. I would never compete with that. In fact, I want to tap into what they do. I want to tap into their passion."
Chambers exuded the confidence to take the fleeting great moments attained by each of the past four coaches - Dick Harter, Bruce Parkhill, Jerry Dunn and Ed DeChellis - and turn them into a more consistent, winning Big Ten program.
He distributed attitude bands and said, "that will be the foundation of our program."
Freddy DelGrosso, who hosted the event, said many of the longtime PSU fans asked him if the summer gathering could become annual.
"That," he said, "will be up to the coach."
To which Chambers could only say, "Trust me."

Baxter International acknowledged today that its Phase III drug candidate Gammagard (immunoglobulin) failed to meet its co-primary endpoints of reducing cognitive decline and preserving functional abilities in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
According to topline results released by Baxter, patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's who took Gammagard at either the 400 mg/kg or 200 mg/kg dose did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in the rate of cognitive decline as compared to placebo. Those means stood at 7.4 for the 400 mg/kg patients, 8.9 for 200 mg/kg patients, and 8.4 for placebo patients. Results also showed a lack of statistically significant change in functional ability compared with placebo—means were -11.4 among both 400 mg/kg and placebo patients, rising slightly to -12.4 for 200 mg/kg patients.
But as Abbott acknowledged in a statement, the study was not powered to show statistical significance among subgroups. And instead of ending its clinical study of the experimental drug, however, Baxter cited a proverbial silver lining in the cloud of data released on Gammagard.
Patients with moderate Alzheimer's, and carriers of the ApoE4 genetic marker—which increases risk of developing the disease—who were dosed at 400 mg/kg, showed cognition improvement of between 16% and 29% after taking the experimental drug vs. placebo, as measured by the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale—Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) and Modified Mini-Mental State (3MS) examination.
"The study missed its primary endpoints. However, we remain interested by the prespecified subgroup analyses, particularly among patients with moderate disease and those who carry a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, two patient groups that are in great need of advances in care," Ludwig Hantson, Ph.D., president of Baxter's BioScience business, said in the statement. "A detailed analysis of the results from the GAP study continues, and we look forward to a greater understanding of the full dataset."
The Phase III results came from the Gammaglobulin Alzheimer's Partnership study conducted by Baxter with the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study, a clinical trial consortium supported by NIH's National Institute on Aging.
The results contrast with promising Phase II findings for Gammagard released in July 2012. They showed improvements in thinking, behavior, and routine day-to-day functions in 11 of 16 patients receiving the drug for three years. Four patients who received the most effective dose of 0.4 g/kg experienced no decline in cognition, daily functioning, memory, and mood.
Gammagard joins a growing number of Alzheimer's drug candidates in failing pivotal-stage clinical trials despite much optimism last year. Last year, Eli Lilly endured two Phase III flops for solanezumab, an amyloid beta monoclonal antibody that failed in effectiveness against beta-amyloid plaques. Solanezumab did not meet both cognitive and functional primary endpoints in two Phase III EXPEDITION trials.
Both EXPEDITION trials showed no statistically significant slowing of cognitive decline in patients with moderate Alzheimer's. Lilly cited a prespecified secondary subgroup analysis in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease, which showed a statistically significant reduction in cognitive decline. Even when Lilly modified EXPEDITION2 to specify a single primary endpoint of cognition, the revised endpoint did not achieve statistical significance.
However, Lilly said in December it plans to launch by Q3 a new Phase III study of the drug in patients with mild Alzheimer's.
Also last year, Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy unit and Pfizer ended development of Alzheimer's drug candidate bapineuzumab after it failed to meet co-primary clinical endpoints in one Phase III study of patients who are ApoE4 carriers (Study 302), and another Phase III study of noncarriers (Study 301). J&J took a $700 million in-process R&D charge in Q3 2012.
And early in 2012, Pfizer wrote down $225 million in up-front cash and $500 million in potential milestone payments after Dimebon (latrepirdine), an Alzheimer's drug developed with Medivation, flunked a Phase III study in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's who were also being treated with donepezil HCL tablets. Dimebon failed to meet endpoints for cognitive improvement as well as for self-care and daily function.

If Polo Doesn't Cost Enough
Weingrow Partners, a London-based private-investment company, said this week it will partner with Automobile Lamborghini and Williams F1 to build the world's first members-only "exclusive lifestyle and racing club," near the Incheon International Airport by 2016.
That's racing as in Formula One, for sportsmen who find keeping polo ponies or racehorses insufficiently costly. (Just the steering wheel of Formula One car will set you back about $30,000, according to a breakdown by the website netcars.com).
But why pick Incheon as a gathering place for Asia's super-rich?
"South Korea is strategically better positioned than Japan and China," said Akis Stark, Weingrow's executive managing director. Incheon is reachable in a few hours from markets such as China, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and six hours from Singapore.
Korea Tourism Organization President Charm Lee adds another factor: At a time when Japan and China are at odds over a group of islands, called Senkaku by one and Diaoyu by the other, South Korea has the advantage of being perceived as a "neutral" location. South Korea expects a growing number of Chinese tourists to choose Korea over Japan this year, partly due to the territorial dispute.
Better still, Mr. Lee said the luxury club's presence in Incheon would play like a magnet drawing tourists from around the world to South Korea, Asia's fourth-biggest economy.
It's not the first project designed to bring in big-spenders to the Incheon area: there are also plans to build a monster casino resort near the airport by 2030.
The concept of the racing club is to give ultra-rich car enthusiasts in Asia an opportunity to experience F1 machines and super cars such as Lamborghini and Ferrari on a five-kilometer 1A Grade 1 racetrack—after a certain period of training by the Formula One team. When not behind the wheel, they'll be able to take a rest at a seven-star hotel enjoying shopping, networking and other activities.
Plans also call for a high-tech R&D center and the world's biggest automobile museum, devoted to the history of F1 machines and super cars.
The public will be allowed to visit the museum and look around some of the other facilities—but the racing experience will be reserved for a maximum of 1,000 members. Here's a rule of thumb: If you're not arriving on your private jet, it's probably not for you.
And given the costs of owning and operating an F1 machine, Weingrow said, secondary spending from the club members will help boost the local economy.

Green Day Concert in Costa Rica October 29th
Green Day is coming to Costa Rica! The Latin Tour is expected to be a sold out event.
Because the facilities are inadequate, many bands overlook Costa Rica, and as well it takes a lot of organising and professionalism to attract big bands, and organization has not been Costa Rica strongest skill set! It's anticipated that the new Stadium in La Sabana will attract more attention in the future.
Producers and organizers have run shows a little more smoothly and this has worked to Costa Rica perception in the industry.

A judge would not offer to chop time off a maximum prison sentence, so the man accused of dousing a Jack Russell terrier with lighter fluid and setting the puppy on fire in October refused to plead guilty Friday to a felony animal-cruelty count.
If convicted, Adell Ziegler, 19, faces a maximum two-year prison sentence.
Meanwhile, defense attorney E. Earl Key, who is Ziegler's assigned counsel, told the judge he plans to challenge the constitutionality of the state's animal cruelty law.
"It is constitutionally vague on its face," Key said after the court hearing.
State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia scheduled a hearing for Feb. 4 to hear the challenge.
If the case goes to trial, jury selection would begin April 25.
Ziegler, already in custody on a parole violation, could remain jailed for the violation until October, prosecutor Kristen A. St. Mary told the judge.
As he explored a possible plea with the lawyers, Buscaglia said he would not commit to any sentence less than two years, which would begin after Ziegler finishes serving his time for the parole violation.
Diondre L. Brown, 17, who admitted that he acted as a lookout, pleaded guilty earlier this month to the felony animal-cruelty charge.
In Brown's case, prosecutors recommended youthful-offender status, because his involvement in the crime was relatively minimal, and he has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in Ziegler's case.
St. Mary, the prosecutor, told the judge the District Attorney's Office may seek the maximum sentence if Ziegler is convicted.
Phoenix, the 5½-month-old Jack Russell terrier intentionally set on fire Oct. 29, continues to recover.
Veterinarians performed skin grafting on the puppy's neck and on his torso by his legs, and they have taken dead tissue off his ears. They also worked to save Phoenix's left hind leg.

In an earlier article on the importance of comments for a blog I summarized studies about blog comments, concluding that blog comments lead to more traffic, better search engine optimization (SEO), apart from being personally rewarding to the blog writer. I worked on many optimizations for this blog to make commenting more attractive. Recently I made a major change on this blog and changed the commenting system. My blog continues to be a "do-follow" blog and I am positive this blog will benefit from the change both in terms of SEO and comment quality. In this post I explain my motivation and reasoning behind this change.
Image credit: My Comment Line, Call me! By greggoconnell.
The best comment systems for blogs in my opinion are echo, disqus, coComment, and Intense Debate. There are many other systems, for example on earlier occasion I showed integration of google wave as a discussion forum, which was also quite feature-rich, however, I think these four are the best for bloggers. They provide integration with the most popular blogging platforms, comfortable editing, moderation and editing of comments, integration with social networks, threaded comments, social reactions (trackbacks), and many other features. All except Echo offer a basic subscription free of charge with an offer of additional paid features as a business model.
In contrast, the blogger commenting system is uncomfortable and clunky, and misses out on many features that other comment systems have, for example, I've written before about a workaround to correct the blogger comment count and if you really want to export all your blog posts as a single file, edit this file, and re-import, is possible to change comments. I think the commenting system in blogger is one of the biggest drawbacks of the blogger platform and this was one of my motivations to review alternative blogging platforms.
Notwithstanding these shortcomings, I was reluctant to replace it with another system because of SEI reasons. The only integration in blogger with third-party commenting systems are based on javascript and this would mean that search engines would not integrate content from comments in their indexes (although there are some solutions to this issue). Also I didn't want to slow down page loading even more javascript on my site and incur a penalty with search engine rankings.
Disqus and Echo, both, for some time now already synchronize comments with blogger which means that you don't loose SEO any more from comments. Comments will be taken into account for search engine indexing. It also means that if you reward commentators with "do-follow" links as I do, you can continue to do so. The reason is that comment synchronization with blogger means that comments are first printed by blogger and then replaced by the other commenting system. This means that in spite using javascript to pull comments from another site at loading time you will probably not loose out on SEO. The synchronization means also that you can continue to use your comment feeds as before with all your existing widgets.
I am concerned a lot about effectiveness in social networking and I've written before about how to add social networking features for blogs and how to install and customize a social networking toolbar. I am therefore very glad that that another advantage of third-party commenting tools is that they integrate with social networks. Readers of this blog will now be able to log in using facebook, twitter, yahoo, disqus, and openid. Facebook, Twitter are two of the most used social networking sites. As of December 2010, Facebook holds a share of 44 percent among services supported by addthis and twitter holds around 9 percent, and login via these two makes it much faster for people to leave a comment. In fact, according to data by gigya, when given a choice of different ID providers for login, 46 percent of users tend to choose facebook, 17 percent google, 14 percent twitter, 13 percent yahoo, 7 percent myspace. With the new login options I think I can offer a better match to what people want. Furthermore comments can now be syndicated over twitter if the commentator wants to.
I am positively surprised at the speed of the loading of comments. People from disqus did a great job in optimizing page loading. I also got rid of some other code, so I am not so much worried about the speed.
Enjoy. Please test out my new comment system below, tell me of your experiences, and give me some feedback.

•Local energy-efficiency group puts on second SuperHero costume party•
Hosting a shindig worthy of a Clark Kent outfit change, the Sustainability Institute intends to tout green efforts at its annual "SuperHero Soiree."
The nonprofit says it crafted the get-together "to celebrate continued programs that work together to save energy costs, improve the environment and create jobs."
The SuperHero Soiree provides guests with a night "to think creatively about their own super power potential, and dress for the occasion, or at least bring their dancing shoes."
According to the institute, Hibernian Hall in Charleston will be turned into "Gotham City" thanks to glowing LED lights, super hero outfits, food and drinks from 11 local businesses, a photo booth and a disc jockey spinning tunes.
The event takes place 7-10:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 10 at Hibernian Hall, located on Meeting Street.
"We hope that through an event like the SuperHero Soiree, we can help more people engage in our mission and most importantly become better stewards of the environment," says Bryan Cordell, executive director of The Sustainability Institute.
"The community can be trailblazers for change," he says, "which inspires us to continue aiming to improve energy efficiency where we live and work."
The event is open to the public; attendees must be at least 21 years old. Soiree-goers can purchase tickets for $55 at The Sustainability Institute's website www.sustainabilityinstitutesc.org/superhero or Facebook page www.facebook.com/SustainabilityInstituteSC.
Food and beverages are included in the ticket price. Proceeds go to Sustainability Institute programs.
Providing food will be Cypress, Fuel Cantina, Republic Reign, Rutledge Cab Company and Salthouse Catering, while drinks come from Cathead Vodka, Liquid Culture, IceBox Bar, Republic Reign, Oku and Westbrook Brewery.
The institute's philosophy aims at teaching, developing expertise and serving as a resource to build the public's capacity to lead the energy efficiency movement. "Inspiring more awareness of our work in the community will continue to shed a light on the importance of being more energy efficient in our homes and buildings," the group notes.
The Sustainability Institute's three focused areas for energy conservation and ecofriendly construction consist of direct services, workforce development and education and outreach.
"Our collective impact initiatives around energy efficiency and sustainability engage residents, businesses and wider communities; while creating solutions to the overuse of energy in the built environment sector," according to the institute.
Its programs and partnerships have spawned spinoff endeavors such as CharlestonWISE, The Energy Conservation Corps, Energy Efficiency Jobs Network and EcoDistricts as well as a slew of education and outreach efforts.
"I am thrilled once again to connect The Sustainability Institute's important mission by coordinating this event and raising awareness for the community," says Deborah Kaufman, founder of conoConsulting.
The nonprofit Sustainability Institute states its mission as "empowering South Carolina communities to transform our homes and workplaces to conserve energy and reduce our overall environmental impact."

•Dantzler joins Carolina One•
A Charleston native who attended college locally has begun working in real estate at an agency office on Crowfield Boulevard.
Sarah Dantzler placed her real estate license with Carolina One Real Estate in the Goose Creek location.
She graduated from the College of Charleston and now resides in Goose Creek with her husband Tradd Dantzler and their son, Nicholas.
Her interests outside of real estate include painting, sewing and decorating.
"Sarah's motivation and huge desire to serve her clients will be the foundation of her business," says Louise Voelker, broker-in-charge of Carolina One's Metro North office. "Carolina One is happy to have her on the team," she says.
Carolina One Real Estate tallied 30 percent of residential sales transactions in the Charleston area as of June 30. It counts 11 agent offices; a mortgage division; and departments specializing in commercial real estate, insurance, new homes, property management, relocation, resort rentals and title services.

•Share of financially 'upside down' Lowcountry home loans plunges•
Fewer house holders as of June owe more on their properties than they're worth, but more than one in 10 mortgages still stand underwater, a real estate analytical venture says.
In the Charleston-North Charleston-Summerville metro area, 11.2 percent, or 16,291, of all residential properties with a mortgage were in negative equity as of the second quarter 2013. The figure compared with 17.3 percent, or 25,203 properties, in the first quarter of 2013.
CoreLogic provided the figures in its latest distressed properties report. Negative equity, often referred to as "underwater" or "upside down," means that borrowers owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth, according to CoreLogic. Loans can wind up underwater or upside down due to a decline in a home's value, an increase in mortgage debt or both.
Another 6,802 residences, or 4.7 percent of all mortgages, were in "near negative equity." That's when the home value is 5 percent or less higher than the loan amount. By comparison, 9,064 houses or 6.2 percent were in near negative equity in the first quarter.
The Charleston area's share of upside down mortgages or properties close to negative equity stayed below the national rate, according to CoreLogic. At the same time, the figures for the country showed dramatic declines in troubled mortgages.
The company found that 2.5 million residential properties returned to a state of positive equity during the second quarter, bringing the total number to 41.5 million. At the same time, 7.1 million homes, or 14.5 percent of all residential properties with a mortgage, remained in negative equity at the end of the second quarter 2013. But the total dropped from 9.6 million homes, or 19.7 percent of all residential properties with a mortgage, at the end of March.
The aggregate value of negative equity, which adds up all upside down home prices nationwide, was $428 billion at the end of the second quarter compared with $576 billion at the end of the first quarter 2013. The more than $148 billion decrease between quarters mostly stemmed from an improvement in home prices, CoreLogic says.
"Equity rebuilding continued in the second quarter of this year as the share of underwater mortgaged homes fell to 14.5 percent," says Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic.
"In just the first half of 2013 almost three and a half million homeowners have returned to positive equity," he says. "But the pace of improvement will likely slow as price appreciation moderates in the second half."
According to CoreLogic president and chief executive Anand Nallathambi, "Price appreciation obviously had a positive impact on home equity over the first half of 2013, especially the second quarter.
"Despite the substantial decrease in negative equity," he says, "there's more ground left to gain with the 7.1 million U.S. residences that remain underwater."
By state, Nevada posted the highest percentage of mortgaged properties in negative equity at 36.4 percent, followed by Florida at 31.5 percent. Figures for South Carolina were not immediately available. Among the top 25 metro areas, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla., placed highest at 36.5 percent of mortgages with negative equity.
Higher priced homes tended to retain equity. For example, 91 percent of homes valued at greater than $200,000 show net worth compared with their loan amounts. Just 80 percent of homes valued at less than $200,000 report positive equity.
•Builder with South Carolina connections wins Urban Land Institute honor•
A housing expert who stresses the basic need for people to have a decent place to live received a top prize as a "visionary" in urban development.
The national Urban Land Institute last week recognized J. Ron Terwilliger, chairman emeritus of Trammell Crow Residential. He received the ULI J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development for 2013, considered the institute's highest honor.
The builder, who founded the ULI Terwilliger Center for Housing, spent formative years at Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island and more recently was involved in early plans for a condo and townhome development since switched to apartments at 400 Meeting St. in Charleston.
According to the institute, the ULI J.C. Nichols Prize recognizes a person or group that "has demonstrated a longtime commitment to the creation of communities that prosper by providing a high quality of life for all citizens, and which reflect the highest standards of design and development.
"The $100,000 prize honors the legacy of Kansas City, Mo., developer J.C. Nichols, a founding ULI member considered to be one of America's most creative entrepreneurs in land use during the first half of the 1900s."
The institute says it honored Terwilliger for his civic and philanthropic efforts to raise awareness about the importance of decent housing and increasing the supply of homes that are affordable and close to transit and employment centers.
As ULI chairman 1999-2001, "He regularly spoke and wrote about the need for affordable and mixed-income housing," the institute says.
In 2007, Terwilliger committed $5 million – the largest individual gift contributed to the institute at the time – to establish the ULI J. Ronald Terwilliger Center for Housing.
"In my professional life, I've seen housing strengthen health, education, families, communities and economies," Terwilliger says. "In my philanthropic life, I've tried to demonstrate my belief that hope begins with access to a decent, affordable home. I want to help ensure a leveraged, sustained impact beyond my lifetime and inspire others to make the commitment to support affordable housing," he says.
According to the institute, Terwilliger grew up in modest surroundings in Arlington, Va.; worked as a young professional for Charles Fraser at Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island in the 1970s and spent 23 years as the chief executive of Trammell Crow Residential, which at one time was the nation's largest developer of multifamily housing.
"I know how important it is to give people a chance. And that chance starts with a decent house the family can afford in a suitable neighborhood," Terwilliger says. "If the first half of your business life is for success, the second half should be for significance. I'm in my second half, and I'm hoping to make a difference," he says.
"What separates Ron from a great many people is that not only does he contribute financial resources to what he's involved in, and what he feels is important, but the fact that he is willing to give his time, his knowledge, and his experience," says John Bucksbaum, chief executive of Bucksbaum Properties and Nichols Prize jury chairman. "Very few people do this. It's a testament to the type of person Ron is," he says.

The 30,000-member Urban Land Institute describes its mission as providing leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide.

NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro Presents on "Parallel Lives" at DU's Internationalization Summit
The Edward W. & Charlotte A. Estlow Center's Anvil of Freedom Award for outstanding journalism and democracy was presented at DU's 2016 Internationalization Summit in honor of 2016 Morton Margolin Distinguished Lecturer Lourdes Garcia-Navarro, South America correspondent for National Public Radio (NPR).
Garcia-Navarro presented "Parallel Lives: Stories from an Interconnected World" as the keynote speech at the annual Internationalization Summit on April 15, 2016. This year's theme was "Uncommon Intersections: Cultivating Multiple Perspectives at Home and Abroad."
Garcia-Navarro was recognized for her multimedia piece, "Look at This: Rain Forest Was Here," which includes photo and audio coverage of how deforestation in the Amazon rain forest may be linked to Sao Paulo's drought and to worldwide climate change. In this piece, she draws comparisons between Brazil's current rapid deforestation and the 19th century deforestation of the western U.S., which similarly fueled the economic development of a nation.
A videorecording of the presentation is now available. Watch "Parallel Lives: Stories from an Interconnected World" here.
Photos of the event have also been posted to the University of Denver's Department of Media, Film & Journalism Studies flickr site. View photos.
News of Founder's Death
We regret to announce that Edward W. Estlow has died at the age of 95. Ed provided outstanding leadership to the University of Denver and offered invaluable guidance and support to this center. We will all miss him. Read his story here.
Ed's last visit to the University of Denver was on April 30, 2015, when we dedicated an original sculpture that was created in his honor by his friend, artist, and longtime newspaper colleague Lloyd Schermer, who has created similar sculptures for the Smithsonian, the Freedom Forum, and several other journalism programs around the country. The artwork features wood and metal type, the kind used in the 1960s newsrooms in which Ed and Lloyd both worked before newsrooms around the country went to the photographic typesetting system.
Above, Ed Estlow with three of his four daughters, Nancy Gwin, Mary Erculiani, and Susan Lyday, in front of Schermer's artwork.

Stakeholder engagement is critical to ST's success. In the interconnected world we operate in today, it is essential that we open and maintain dialogue with a wide range of stakeholders to understand their expectations and concerns. We firmly believe that by knowing our stakeholders better, we are able to anticipate potential issues, and also understand how to achieve the right balance between various stakeholder needs and expectations. This is also the opportunity for us to explain our activity, constraints and achievements.
In 2010 we conducted a materiality exercise informed by our stakeholders' expectations, in order to update our Sustainability strategy. For more information on how we approached this exercise, please read the Sustainability strategy page.
External stakeholder survey
In 2012, we conducted our first formal stakeholder survey. Close to 170 stakeholders with links to ST's departments were invited, including amongst others, customers, employees, suppliers, investors, SRI analysts, governmental representatives and NGOs. Approximately one third responded.
The objective of this survey was to obtain concrete feedback from stakeholders, which we can consider for future versions of ST's Sustainability strategy and report. We also used the survey to identify a number of participants who would be willing to provide more detailed feedback.

ST has developed a range of business processes and procedures that set out the rules and guidelines for engagement with stakeholders such as suppliers, employee representatives, customers, local authorities and academic institutions who are very important to the company as a whole.
To a large degree, stakeholder engagement is already integrated into our core business e.g. through partnerships with academic institutions and R&D laboratories for innovation. Our future challenge is to somehow capture this regular and sometimes informal dialogue for reporting purposes.
We also seek ad hoc advice and feedback from stakeholders with specialist knowledge when we are developing new sustainability programs or policies. For example, when we designed our new Human Resources/Social Policy in 2012 we sought input, among others, from F&C Asset Management who provided feedback on our policy and suggestions for how to improve it.
Specific focus on stakeholder engagement in the supply chain
The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC)
ST has been a member of the EICC since 2005, participating in the collective efforts of the industry to work with stakeholders to find solutions to some of our biggest sustainability challenges, such as conflict minerals. ST plays an active role in the EICC, with an elected ST representative on the Board and involvement in several working groups dedicated to stakeholder engagement, validated audit process, working hours, etc.
Responsible Purchasing Charter
In 2010 ST signed the Charter of "Ten Commitments for Responsible Purchasing", an initiative launched by the "French Ministry of Economy, Industry and Employment" and large French companies who are committed to improving their supplier relationships, especially those with small and medium-sized companies (VSE-SMEs).
The Charter, amongst other requirements, calls for large companies to appoint an internal Mediator in charge of facilitating the problem resolution between ST and its suppliers, when both parties, i.e. suppliers and purchasing department, have already attempted to resolve the situation through normal discussion, without any success.
For more information, please read Responsible Purchasing Charter@ST.
Stakeholder engagement at local level
The stakeholders we engage with vary from site to site or department to department depending on the type of activity undertaken. Therefore ST provides general guidelines, in line with our Code of Conduct, and 'Sustainability strategy', in the form of a framework designed to help sites and departments identify their most significant stakeholders and the most appropriate method of engaging with them.
Using a robust network of Sustainable Excellence Coordinators from across the company, the Corporate Sustainable Development Group is able to gather feedback, collect good practice and create specific guidelines on stakeholder engagement.

Published January 30, 2014
Earning an "A" at the end of a college course is nice. But $8,000 is even better.
A dozen UB classmates enrolled in Entrepreneurship Lab (eLab), a small business boot camp for students, recently pitched their startups to a panel of local business leaders and investors.
The winners received a Student Entrepreneur Fellowship: $5,000-$8,000 in seed funding, mentorship and shared space in the UB Technology Incubator. While all students did not receive a fellowship, they did finish with three credits toward graduation and invaluable experience.
eLab is not your traditional course. Open to both undergraduate and graduate students, the class accelerates the startup process for participants who already have promising entrepreneurial ideas. Students spent three weeks during UB's Winter Session fine-tuning their business pitches, engaging potential customers and sizing up target markets.
Fellows are encouraged to enter the Henry A. Panasci Technology Entrepreneurship Competition, business plan contest sponsored by the School of Management and Office of Science, Technology Transfer and Economic Outreach (STOR) that helps fund UB student startups. Panasci winners receive $25,000 in seed funding, business services and office space.
The six Student Entrepreneur Fellowship winners are:
The course is a joint effort among UB's School of Management, STOR and the Entrepreneurship Academy.

Indian Wells Golf Resort, Players Course
Palm Springs usually isn't the first place one associates with "summer fun," but when the destination is the Hyatt Grand Champions -- at a quarter of the prices you'd pay in mid-March -- the triple digit temps don't bother a bit. That's because wise travelers play their golf in the morning, at two outstanding courses, the Celebrity and the Players at the adjacent Indian Wells Golf Resort. Clive Clark redesigned the old West course and replaced it with a tight but stunning track rippled with babbling cascades of water, brilliant white jigsaw puzzle-piece traps and clever mounding. John Fought then pulled off a similar feat with the Players course. Each features staggering views of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Giants' WR Hakeem Nicks fractures bone in his foot
The New York Giants' road to winning back-to-back championships just got a little rockier.
Multiple national reports state that Hakeem Nicks will be sidelined for approximately 12 weeks after he fractured his right foot on Thursday. Apparently the injury was of the non-contact variety as Nicks was running a route tree in practice. He will undergo surgery on Friday and will likely return at some point during training camp.
The good news is that Nicks should return before the regular season but how quickly he gets himself into game shape is the question. Second-round pick Ruben Randle will be the biggest benefactor of this injury, as the rookie will receive plenty of reps in the first-team offseason this summer. Sometimes whether a young player makes an impact right away is determined by the amount of opportunities he has in training camp and preseason.
A superior route runner over his career, Nicks has dealt with a variety of lower-body related injuries throughout his career. On top of this latest setback, he's also dealt with toe, ankle and knee issues since entering the league in 2009. At least this time he broke a bone because at least the bone will heal and he'll be fine once he gets back into shape. If it were a hamstring injury, that's something that could effect him for the entire season.

Bangladesh - Volunteer Against Poverty
05 December 2008
by Ngozi Otti
In Bangladesh this year our theme is 'Volunteers Against Poverty' (VAP). The choice of this theme is as a result of the hydra-headed impacts of poverty in every aspect of lives both in Bangladesh and beyond. The eradication of poverty is central to the elimination of diseases, gender equality, universal education, reduction of infants and maternal mortality due to increased affordability, fight against HIV/AIDS, malaria etc.
Along the same lines, millions of volunteers are involved in different poverty related programmes and projects and have made numerous contributions in this area.
Hence, IVD 2008 is aimed at mobilizing and engaging in activities towards the eradication of poverty. Organizations are encouraged to carry out activities towards the eradication of poverty. Volunteers must stand up and voice their commitment to the fight against poverty.
On the other hand, volunteers need to voice and commit to this fight in an enabling environment; an environment that has the political will and the policy tools for effective volunteer service delivery and impact.
So as we as volunteers fight against poverty, we also need to register the need for adequate policies to promote volunteerism. We also intend to use the event to launch the 2009 advocacy campaign for the recognition of volunteerism.
In the light of the above, the activities for this year include:

Today, there will be a joyful, musical reunion on the Highlander football field. Not only is it Homecoming for Webster County High School, but also it is slated to be the largest gathering of current and former Showband and Showgirls members ever.
This year marks the 31st anniversary of the Highlander Showband and the 35th anniversary of the Showband Showgirls. There are expected to be more than 170 alumni members performing and many others in attendance during the event.
Alumni Showband members will perform the "Star-Spangled Banner" at the game opening at 7:30 p.m. During the half-time show, alumni members will take the field with current band members and perform "We Got The Beat" and to salute the originator and creator of the Showband and Showgirls, the one and only Jeffery P. Hudkins.
Hudkins, who left Webster County High School in 2009, made an indelible mark on hundreds, if not thousands of minds, young and old. His tireless efforts to strive for excellence showed through each student who gave their all, because of him and enjoyed every second!
Current Showband Director Lewis Woodard was instrumental in making this event possible and coordinating the efforts online through Facebook with the help of Jamie Jarvis, Jenny Given, Karen Hollandsworth-Smith, the Band Boosters, and many, many others.
"I can't wait until Friday when we have everyone together," stated Mr. Woodard, "This is going to be one of the most awesome things to happen in the county."
Woodard continued, "I am asking former students to help acknowledge Mr. Hudkins and his 30 years of work to make the Webster County Highlander Showband organization one of the best in the state of West Virginia."
A cordial invitation goes to all Showband, Showgirl and Silkline Alumni to be in attendance, even if not performing, and to everyone in the county to stop by to see this long-awaited performance, heartfelt reunion and acknowledgement of a great man, who shaped the lives of so many.
Homecoming events start at 7 p.m. and the ballgame will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Alumni are encouraged to join on Facebook at: WCHS Showband Alumni.

How Latin American Physicians Use the Internet
Miami, Aug 31, 2007
As in the rest of the world these days, healthcare professionals from across Latin America use the internet to be informed. Surprisingly, a majority use their free time to do so. A recent survey by global healthcare market research company Medimix International shows that most physicians throughout Latin American connect to the internet from their home, not from their office or other public place. Over 90% of Brazilian doctors report connecting from home. In Argentina, Mexico and Colombia, over 80% of physicians connect from home. On average, 50% of Latin American doctors connect on a computer at work. Very few connect at cybercafés in the region.
Medimix International recently interviewed by phone over 1,000 physicians in 10 Latin American countries on their internet use habits. Questions about where doctors connect, frequency of connection, professional reasons for which they connect, length of time connected and the sources they use to learn new information were asked.
One third of physicians surveyed in Latin America state that they connect to the internet many times a day. Forty percent of physicians throughout the region say that they connect "at least once a day". About a fifth of physicians connect less often than once a day, but very few report less than once a week.
The number one reason reported for connecting for professional reasons is to search for information about diseases. The second most popular reason to connect is to search for information on therapies. In Brazil, especially, another important reason to go online is to search for information about drugs, with 42% of physicians in that country stating this as their main reason to connect. Throughout the smaller countries of Latin America, including Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Costa Rica, 54% of physicians surveyed use the internet to know sites in order to recommend them to patients.
"This is clearly a new opportunity for a broader medical education, better information and access to quality information for a larger base of physicians, even in remote places. It underlines the importance of consistent communication globally," explains Henry Gazay, CEO of Medimix International.
When asked what sources they use to find professional information in general (books, congresses, internet, journals, etc), Mexican physicians use the internet the most, at 70%. Throughout the region, 55% of respondents state that the Internet is their number 1 source for professional information. In Brazil, 42% of doctors say they turn to their medical books and periodicals. Colleagues are a last resort source for information for physicians in Latin America. Gazay says that "These results clearly show the growing importance of internet communication among physicians around the world, and in particular in emerging markets."
In Argentina, 46% of doctors report staying online between 1 and 2 hours at a time. Twenty percent of Mexican physicians state that they are online between 2 and 4 hours at a time. The average length of time for each internet connection is about 1 hour for the region.

WBB Improves To 2-1 In MAC With Win Over Kent State
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State women's basketball team improved to 2-1 in Mid-American Conference play with a dominating 55-31 home court victory over Kent State Sunday afternoon.
Both teams started off slow in the first half, as the game was tied 2-2 for over a four minute stretch. The Cardinals finally pulled away from the Golden Flashes, ending the half with a 19-8 run, to give Ball State the 21-10 edge over Kent State at intermission. The Cardinals scored 11 points off of the Golden Flashes 16 turnovers in the first half alone. Ball State's defense limited the Golden Flashes to a .227 field goal shooting percentage in the first half.
The Cardinals opened the second half with a 15-4 run to go up by 22 (36-14) off of free throws from Nathalie Fontaine and Brandy Woody along with a fast break layup from Shelbie Justice and back-to-back three pointers from Jill Morrison.
Ball State held Kent State to only five points up until the 7:24 mark of the second half, when the Golden Flashes Rachel Mendelson hit a three point basket to make it a 41-18 ball game.
Kent State came to within 16 (45-29) with 3:10 remaining, but that was as close as the Golden Flashes could get to the Cardinals.
Fontaine led Ball State's scoring with 11 points, while Woody added 10. Woody led the Cardinals with eight rebounds, while Justice tallied seven in the contest. Woody and Brittany Carter added three assists apiece and Woody had a team-high two steals.
The Cardinals remain home when they host MAC leader Bowling Green Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Worthen Arena. The game will be televised on Time Warner Cable Ohio and ESPN3.
