Master of Organizational and Human Resource Development program ranked #8 in nationPosted January 14, 2013
ACU's online Master of Organizational and Human Resource Development degree program was recently ranked eighth in the nation based on its quality, types of courses offered, faculty, rankings, awards and reputation. ACU is known for effectively providing online degree programs.
"We're honored to be recognized as a top program in Human Resources Management," says Dr. Jon Camp, director of the degree program. "We wanted to create a program that equips students with the skills they need to lead and manage human resources in today's complex organizations."
The program was ranked among the top 20 programs by TheBestSchools.org, an independent organization with no ties to any other educational institution. All its editors know the academic world well, with some holding Ph.D.'s and having extensive experience in teaching, research and publishing at the university level.
This ranking is exciting news for the university, as a master's degree in OHRD provides graduates with an edge on other applicants in a competitive job market.
Human resources (HR) is now one of the top business administration priorities at most companies. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that an advanced degree in the HR field, such as ACU's M.S., is increasingly preferred for high-level jobs in human resources. The BLS also reports that workers with a solid background in HR programs, policies, and employment law should have better job opportunities.
Human resources professionals are in demand in private, nonprofit, and government agencies. The BLS forecasts a 21% employment growth rate from 2010 to 2020 for HR specialists—faster than the average for all occupations. The median annual salary for human resources managers in 2011 was $99,130, according to the BLS.

Police investigate an accident I205 SB at Padden. Traffic is slow moving. pic.twitter.com/IsPsNGatwv— Zachary Kaufman (@col_kaufman) December 4, 2013
A police scanner enthusiast in Washington State who routinely tweets traffic information sent dispatches Wednesday about a car wreck only to learn later that her husband died in the accident.
The Columbian in Vancouver, Wash., said it began tweeting shortly after the two-car crash, which occurred at 1:41 p.m. PST on Interstate 205.
Emergency responders are on the way to a 2-car collision on I-205 SB near 83rd Street. Move over for them and give them some room. #VanWa— WSDOT - SW Region (@wsdot_sw) December 4, 2013
#Clark911 #pdxtraffic WSP dispatch tells me there are three vehicles involved, two people trapped. A Life Flight helicopter is en route— Columbian Metrodesk (@Col_cops) December 4, 2013
Salmon Creek, Wash., resident Caran Johnson, who tweets under the handle CJ @ScanCouver, soon joined the stream:
"i hate that section of I205 S. too many on ramps, speeders and too few lanes."
"@troyglidden @Col_cops this accident sounds horrible."
Johnson expressed sympathy when the State Police confirmed someone had died in the crash.
She sent about 10 tweets before it hit her that her 47-year-old husband, Craig R. Johnson, was supposed to be taking I-205 home, the New York Daily News said. She tweeted:
"I'm trying not to panic . . . he's not answering his phone." "and he's late."
She called her husband's employer and learned he was feeling faint when he left work. She asked a state police spokesman and a Columbian photographer for a description of the vehicles involved, but they couldn't help, the Columbian reported. She called the state Department of Transportation to find out how far traffic was backed up. When she called 911 and gave them a plate number, they said they'd call back.
Finally, two state police sergeants delivered the bad news. Johnson tweeted:
"it's him. he died."
Twitter user Nina Mehlhaf tweeted that Johnson made her account private after the crash, but KATU.com posted Johnson's string of tweets.
The station also filed this video report:
Condolences for Johnson poured into Twitter from around the globe:

The Washington State Patrol and Vancouver police said Craig Johnson died when his Hyundai Elantra crossed the median and collided with a pickup truck, NBCNews.com said. The truck driver was seriously injured.
Investigators said they didn't yet know what caused the accident.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on December 17, 2011.

Project by
Simone Bazos & Mitch Swenson
First created | 0 backed
This documentary follows the lives and projects of artists and journalists in one of the world's largest slums in Nairobi, Kenya.
This project's funding goal was not reached on December 17, 2011.
First created | 0 backed
Kibera is the world's second largest urban slum, with population estimates ranging from 300,000 to one million. There are about 14 informal neighborhoods, most of which are largely separated by ethnic lines. Despite these divions and its bad reputation, Kibera is a community. It is a place where artists, dj's, journalists and the local residents pool resources not only to survive but in order to positively contribute to the welfare of the community (despite lack of attention from the local government).
Pamoja FM is the only radio station/media center in Kibera. The station was instrumental in quelling violence after the presidential elections of 2007. During that time, Pamoja became the voice of reason and rallying point for community cohesion by providing unbiased and multiethnic information updates, safety advice, and reinforcement of community ethics. Today Pamoja continues to be an integral part of the community for the best music, most reliable independent and localized media coverage. In addition, Pamoja uses its programs as an open forum to discuss, teach and learn about various issues concerning community development and challenges in daily life.
This documentary will chronicle the combined efforts of Pamoja FM and Jah-Army, a local art development collective, planning and organizing an event and corresponding radio campaign which will focus on how art can change the community. Jah-Army is an economically self sustained art collective in Kibera. Among the 15 members, they create bead work, paintings, music and films to fund further projects which all promote peace building, environmental consciousness targeting the youth. The film hopes to highlight the pride and hope that exists among what many see as such a bleak landscape. And for the subjects in this film, real changes can take hold in peoples lives through art. The film will show the processes that these artists go through to create for the radio station, performances, or youth workshops, from the home and practice spaces all the way to their big events.

In times of crisis, nothing is the worst thing a person can do. Unfortunately, in these situations, many people are paralyzed with fear and indecision.
Wellness Education Services plans to battle this inaction through Bystander Intervention Training, a seminar that teaches people how to recognize problem behaviors and safely intervene.
"You don't have to be directly involved to see that something is going wrong," says Anna Sotelo-Peryea, a violence prevention specialist and public health planner for Wellness Education Services. "This program is about taking people out of a situation where they feel powerless and like sheep and helping them understand that they can be leaders."
Bystander Intervention Training is one of the Life and Learning Workshops offered by Wellness Education Services.
Participants learn how to handle a variety of issues, including helping those with eating disorders and preventing domestic violence and hazing. Problems surrounding alcohol are a key topic as well due to the large number of undergraduates using this substance for the first time.
The seminar addresses the bystander effect, a social psychological phenomenon where individuals do not offer help to the victim in an emergency situation when other people are present because they feel the responsibility is shared.
The monthly training is open to faculty and students, and to the public upon request. It has been provided to Varsity Athletics at UB, which includes over 500 athletes, for the last 2 years, and is often requested by local Greek organizations. At the end of the workshop, participants receive a certificate of completion.
The dates for Fall 2013 workshops are:
For information on how to register for Bystander Intervention Training, visit http://workshops.buffalo.edu, or visit http://wellnessed.buffalo.edu to submit a request to bring the training to your group.
The bystander effect is also known as the Genovese syndrome, which is named for Catherine Genovese, who was murdered in 1964 before 38 witnesses who failed to call the police, says Sotelo-Peryea.
The incident was almost 50 years ago, but the everyday dangers women face are still prevalent. On average, one in four women in college will be sexually assaulted, says Sotelo-Peryea. It is the only major crime in the United States where students are more at risk on campus than off.
However, not all statistics are bleak. A recent survey of 5,281 UB students by Wellness Education Services found that nine out of 10 students are aware they have the power to diffuse potentially violent situations by intervening.
"UB may be a large university, but it is a small community," says Sotelo-Peryea. "Once we recognize that we are all members of the same community, we can learn the skills to make UB a safer, more welcoming place for everyone."

Jersey City recently announced it would sue the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for $400 million in unpaid property taxes stemming from long-standing payment-in-lieu-of-tax agreements — called PILOTs — on Port Authority properties. Mayor Steve Fulop said the unpaid taxes have caused a "severe and negative impact on Jersey City taxpayers."
Fulop insists the Port Authority has shortchanged Jersey City about $16 million a year in property taxes. The $16 million difference between what the city receives through PILOTs and what it could receive in regular property tax payments is certainly substantial, and the city's leaders should seek to negotiate new agreements with the Port Authority to raise revenues.
Jersey City's $16 million-a-year "loss," however, pales in comparison to the estimated $120 million in annual property taxes the city has given away to developers through questionable tax-abatement programs.
That $120 million figure, cited in a 2010 report by state Comptroller Matthew Boxer, is what resulted when Jersey City granted more than $2 billion in tax abatements on city properties.
When Jersey City grants a property tax abatement, the city government loses nothing. It continues to collect 100 percent of the property taxes it's owed, abatement or not. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for taxpayers in Hudson County and the rest of New Jersey.
Boxer's report estimates that Hudson County loses "approximately $30 million from Jersey City due to the city's abatements," and the county's other taxpayers make up the difference with higher property taxes.
The abatements also inflate state aid payments for Jersey City schools, while state taxpayers foot the bill.
According to Boxer's report, "When new development occurs in connection with a long-term abatement, the PILOT revenue is not reflected in (a municipality's) ratable base, meaning formula state aid continues to provide enhanced funding based on artificially low community wealth."
Because the $417 million in state school aid Jersey City will receive this year — approximately $14,200 per student — is calculated using a formula that relies on the city's tax base, the $2 billion in tax-exempt property inflates the amount of state aid the city's schools receive.
With a fixed amount of state school aid available each year, inflated aid to Jersey City comes at the expense of New Jersey's other districts and their taxpayers.
Jersey City's questionable tax-abatement policies continue despite rapidly its increasing wealth and rising home values.
The city's own report, "Tax Abatements in Jersey City — A Vehicle for Growth & Prosperity," notes that "Jersey City home values have outpaced the nation and the region" and "have increased by 267 percent in the past decade," creating "significant wealth for longtime homeowners, especially low-income residents, seniors and minorities."
Despite this prosperity, Jersey City continues to award unnecessary long-term abatements to lure development that would likely occur anyway. Last month, the city approved a 30-year tax abatement for a $666 million project in an already booming neighborhood.
To make matters worse, Jersey City hasn't reassessed its real estate since 1988. The use of 25-year-old, outdated assessments likely underestimates the wealth of the city by billions, further skewing state school and municipal aid formulas in the city's favor. Amazingly, in order to maintain this status quo, Fulop now wants to cancel a long-overdue revaluation that is under way.
It's not the Port Authority I'm concerned about; it's income tax payers and property tax payers across New Jersey who need defending.
Neither the mayor nor anyone else in Jersey City has refuted my arguments, nor the state comptroller's, regarding the degree to which Jersey City has shifted its financial obligations to others through the extensive — and likely excessive — use of PILOT agreements.
Given the economic boom occurring along New Jersey's "Gold Coast" on the Hudson, Jersey City should begin shouldering a greater share of its own expenses. This systematic effort to shift Jersey City's tax burden to others must come to an end. To quote Fulop, "It's about fairness."

Today Project Spurs will be looking back at the Spurs' title run beginning in 1999 and ending in 2007.
Many say the Spurs' championship run places them among the great NBA dynasties, while others say the Spurs' championship run should not be considered a dynasty. To discuss this topic, Jordan Rivas and Lance Fell will present you their reasons the Spurs should be considered a dynasty and why they shouldn't.
First will be Jordan Rivas to state the reasons why the Spurs winning the NBA title in 1999, 2003, 2005, and 2007 does not place the franchise among the great NBA dynasties.
The sports world has co-opted a term it doesn't understand. Talk radio and sports columnists have independently elected to riddle themselves in conjecture. They are content – some are even enamored with the idea – to substitute logic and definition for bias and subjectivity. Not satisfied with holding command over issues of sound opinion, they have opted to ascend to lofty Adamic proportions, naming whatever they choose, however they like. With pedantic demeanor and resolve amusingly, albeit obnoxiously, built of ignorance, they have re-purposed and brazenly redefined words plucked seemingly at random from the English language, with little regard for reality in their defining process.
The odd adoption, and ridiculous re-imagining, of the word 'dynasty' within the sports world holds no more validity than if I chose to select the noun 'cupcake', and assert that its definition is someone who wears a funny hat, but only on Sundays.
Sports media and clever marketing have led us to believe that the term "dynasty" is a malleable thing, that its definition is subject to debate and susceptible to change at the whim of whichever ESPN commentator holds the most clout or whichever blogger has the highest view count.
As the Zhou dynasty clearly demonstrates, a true dynasty, historically speaking, leaves itself no room to be questioned.
The application for the Spurs' admission into dynastic company reads unconvincingly. Immediately numbers jump out at you, like a haphazard grade school math problem, they read: '99, '03, '05, '07. The pattern is a telling one, and easily recognizable: the Spurs have never won consecutive championships.
In the gaps, years where the Spurs have not won titles, the story is most potent. They were ousted in the first round of the 2000 playoffs a year after their initial title win. They were embarrassingly swept out of the Conference Finals by the rival Lakers in 2001. Most recently, in 2008, the Spurs only won one game against the Lakers before again being denied a chance at repeating. If any part of the past decade could truly be called a Spurs dynasty, they would have to simultaneously be considered the most often humiliated dynasty in history.
Even the casual analysis of the last decade shows a distinct lack of unwavering dominance from the Spurs. The carefully applied execution of their fundamentally sound schemes took hold over the NBA in spurts, not stretches. Outside of a highly loyal South Texas fan base, even the casual NBA fans finds the titling of the Spurs as a dynasty a point of contention, not an accepted truth. The branding of the Spurs as a dynasty is often met with sound skepticism, at best entertained as an intriguing discussion on the effect of free agency and the salary cap, but almost never accepted outright.
Emphatic as Spurs fans might be, few others would agree that the Spurs are a dynasty. However inclined Spurs fans might be to declare themselves right, and the rest of the basketball world wrong, their assertion would lack a distinct sign of sound logic, that a majority of people lean in its direction.
If I, for example, were to claim that I am the world's greatest writer, however sure of it I am, if no one else agrees with me I would come off looking silly.
The further examination of the Spurs' qualifications as a dynasty reveals more peculiar occurrences.
First, let's establish that the run being considered for dynasty status took place between 1999 and 2007, a span of eight seasons. The Spurs have not won a title in two seasons, and seem highly unlikely to change that this season. Considering that eight year span between '99 and '07, let's look at some of these peculiarities.
In a span of eight years the Spurs totaled four titles. Meaning that during this run they were only the best team in the league half of the time. Shouldn't a dynasty be dominant all of the time? Considering the word has been stripped of any real meaning, its a hard question to answer. Even on the less demanding spectrum, however, couldn't we expect a dynasty to at least reign more than half of the time? Those who support calling the Spurs' run a dynasty want to claim one hundred percent of an era even though the Spurs were only on top of the league fifty percent of the time.
Most notably, and most damning, is that during the '99-'07 stretch, an odd thing happened – an entirely different, and more clearly verifiable, dynasty occurred: that of the Los Angeles Lakers. From the 2000 season through the 2002 season the Lakers won three consecutive titles, shutting out the Spurs for that time and etching their own name in league history.
For Spurs dynasty supporters that leaves a gut wrenching question: did two dynasties run during the same period of time? Did another dynasty happen in the middle of the supposed Spurs dynasty?
Allow me to assure you, that is impossible.
If we're going to hold the term in any regard, if any semblance of its former meaning is to remain intact, the term dynasty must remain historically exclusive to only one holder during any one stretch of time.
If you're going to define the Spurs' run from '99-'07 as a dynasty, then you must also definitively prove that the Lakers' run from '00-'02 is not a dynasty. Sirs and madams, if you can do that, then you will have exclusively captured my full attention as I await for you to deliver, from your magical bag of conjectures, the definitive proof that two physical objects may occupy the same physical space and that air molecules may be alchemized into solid gold.
In these matters, and in the larger issue of debate at hand, I eagerly await your rebuttals.

Take that dream cruise to Alaska this year
by Lisa Allen
Valley View Editor
Alaska is beckoning. The land of the midnight sun, incredible mountain ranges, wildlife and glaciers is luring thousands of tourists a year, many of them taking the "inside passage" route on cruise ships leaving from Seattle or Vancouver.
Ships that have spent the winter in the Caribbean are in Puget Sound now for what is expected to be a banner year for the Alaska cruise business.
Most ships bound for Alaska leave with a full load of passengers.
Holland America's MS Ryndam was at Pier 66 in Seattle a couple of weeks ago, where I toured the 720-foot vessel.
The size of the ship and the accommodations were impressive.
Outside medium-priced cabins were roomy with either large windows or private decks. Suites are also available. Grand curved staircases and lavish artwork are reminiscent of the classic luxury liners that crossed the Atlantic before the jet age.
The ship, built in 1994, carries 1,266 passengers and a crew of 602.
Ten passenger decks offer something for everyone, including food, food and more food, gambling, a theater and show lounge.
Sports facilities and a swimming pool help to take off the pounds.
Holland America Inside Passage Cruises are seven days, according to Courtney McKenzie, Holland America public relations coordinator.
The trip highlights Juneau, Ketchikan and a full day cruising Glacier Bay. The line also offers customized package tours of Alaska via Gray Line.
The increased cruise ship business has not only benefited Seattle, with the increasing numbers of tourists shopping there, but other communities as well.
McKenzie, a Woodinville native, said 19 businesses in Woodinville are vendors to the Line, delivering a variety of items to the ship, including food and wine.
"Holland America cruises have a $908,000 impact on the city of Woodinville because of those businesses," she said.
Those interested in taking a Holland America cruise may call 1-800-426-0327.

Delta Canard Covering
Today, the control surfaces were covered and the control horns installed. The horns were made by tracing around the front of the control surface rib pattern. The 1/16" holes were drilled in the horns at 1/2" from the bottom surface. my horns are made from 1/16" bass wood with the grain running with the horn length. Spruce would be tougher but there have been no failures so far. The top of the canard was covered and trimmed with red. The bottom of the main wing was covered and the servos were sanded and installed with canopy glue with balsa added to assure no movement. The transmitter was set for Delta and the servos plugged into the receiver per the schematic to assure correct allignment and ,movement before glueing in. Charles

Here is an old Carnard Thermal Glider that was built from some magazine plans. It was built like back in 2001 and yet to be flown. Looks cool and I think this design has been 'copied' and advertised on RCG as the S1.
Sorry Dude, but that definately ain't no S1
This looks similar to the slick looking slope soarer that tIANcI posted. It's DCRC's Tom Rankin from the May 1968 issue of Flying Models:

PJW and tIANcI, Thanks for the interesting contributions. There seemed to be lots of canard models from the 1970-1980 period. We could use more of them on the scene now to add variety and interest to our hobby.John 235, you mentioned that you did not care for a pusher prop. All of my models use the standard prop which is mounted "front forward" onto a motor which is turning in reverse. I would go for the EDF if it would give the needed thrust to get my planes into the air from a grass field but it seems that most EDF models need a launcher. They seem to get their power only after the speed has been attained. I suppose your canards will be built with low drag for speed? How are EDF's for aerobatics? Charles
In my opinion the difference between an EDF and any prop in a pusher configuration with regards to aerobatics is the prop will have the advantage in low speed thrust and throttle response. The big disadvantage for both pusher props and EDF when compared to a puller prop is that there is no propwash blowing over the control surfaces. You must keep some airspeed on to have good control authority.
Its true that EDFs are difficult do setup properly, and are very poor efficiency compared to a pusher prop. I think its normal for the weight of a ducted fan system to be at least twice of a propeller with similar thrust. I think the ducted fan has two advantages:
1) Less chance of getting a propeller cut when hand launching.
2) No problems with propellor clearance for ROG takeoff.
But on the downside, I think there are a couple of issues that may be a problem for R.O.G takeoff. firstly, they relative lack of thrust. Second the problem of debris getting sucked through the DF system which I read should be avoided.
Charles, I am guessing that you reason that I prefer fast flying models because I prefer semi-symetrical airfoil sections. That isn't really the reason. Although I would say that increased stall speed is a downside, a plane with 12-14oz wing loading will hardly be a pylon racer anyway. For models with low wing-loadings, semi-symetrical sections seem to give a wider range of speed, certinaly they tend not to have the pitch trim problems when flying at higher speeds which normally requires lots of downthust. Inverted flight is obvioulsy going to be much easier. For landing I think that even a fully symetrical section can be a help, because it allows a much steeper landing approach, whereas, if a highly cambered section is used, you can sometimes end up with a model that wants to keep gliding forever. I built these models before, especially in the days of round cells and brushed motors when you needed to make electric models very efficient to get good performance. Now the power of electic models is comparable with IC models, I tend to adopt airfoil sections that are thinner versions of those that are normally used on typical sport type IC engine models.

PMPJohn, That's a good point about the prop wash effect. It helps to have that for the stall turn and tail dragger take off steering. I did some stall turns with my Egret canard with the rudder up front and had to hit the rudder while there was still some speed. John235, I sensed that you love speed because of the EDF interest. I have had models with semi symetrical airfoils which were excellent for slow flying. They are great for inverted flight and outside loops. I have these on a Four Star 40 and FS 20 scratch built. The models weigh 3.2 and 2.0 pounds and are gentle flyers. So far, my five own design balsa canard models have used the flat bottom airfoil because I do not want to change my basic configuration except for coupling and wing shape. I have converted five ARF foamies into canards without learning much because most of them fly well. I believe my Electro Streak was fully symetrical and was sold because it was too fast. Charles

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kevin Ware is pretty certain how his next few months will play out.
"After we win the national championship," the injured Louisville guard said with a smile on his face, "I'm just looking forward to rehab."
Ware is already set for his next step, though he is gingerly walking around on crutches and with his surgically repaired broken leg in a cast up to his right knee: He is heading to the Final Four.
Ware was cleared Wednesday by doctors to accompany the Cardinals on their hour-long flight to Atlanta and he did just that. The last player to enter the team's hotel in Georgia, he was greeted with cheers when he came through the door in a wheelchair. He waved to fans as he entered an elevator.
"It's like he's never left," teammate Peyton Siva said. "Words can't explain our feelings to have him back with us."
Ware plans to be a full participant in preparations for Saturday's game against Wichita State, including sitting on the bench. And the Cardinals will wear new warm-up gear to honor the sophomore, with Ware's No. 5 replacing the "S" in the "Rise to the Occasion" T-shirts they've been wearing.
"To see him up again — just to see a picture of him up again is awesome," Siva said. "Now he's up walking with a broken leg, crutching around."
Ware said the overwhelming support he has received has helped him maintain his spirits and strengthened his confidence of a full recovery. He hopes by next season to be helping the Cardinals defend the national championship he believes they'll win this weekend.
The normally reserved 20-year-old calmly recalled how he felt when he suffered the devastating injury, saying he doesn't think Louisville would be in the Final Four if he had lost his composure.
Ware credits teammate Luke Hancock for calming him down.
"He got me to that point where I really had to put the pain on hold," said Ware, with his leg in a cast propped up on a couch. "Once he said his prayer, I was kind of thinking the whole time, 'you can either be a crybaby about it or you're going to get your team back and get them in the right mindset'.
"Luke said his words, and I just kept repeating, 'y'all gotta go win this game.' I'm fine. ... It really helped the team."
But it wasn't easy for the Cardinals, many of whom cried after seeing Ware's gruesome injury — his bone protruding six inches through his skin.
Even Louisville coach Rick Pitino was emotional, wiping tears from his eyes and later saying that the sight of his player's injury almost made him vomit.
But Pitino said everyone's emotions have settled down knowing that it appears Ware will be OK.
"I think we're all fine now," Pitino said. "Just having Kevin around, we can exhale."
The coach said having Ware in Atlanta might provide the Cardinals with a little "extra emotion," but in his experience "the team that executes the best will win."
Pitino and his son, Richard, spent Monday at the hospital with Ware, who was pictured holding the championship trophy in his bed. Though Ware had maintained his composure talking with AP, he became very emotional during an earlier interview with ESPN when talking about waking up and seeing the trophy.
The coach downplayed staying with him at the hospital after his injury.
"There's not a coach in America that wouldn't be there," he said.
And while Pitino said everyone can exhale now, the Cardinals had to take a deep breath when Ware went down on Sunday. They eventually regrouped and took the lead at halftime against Duke en route to an 85-63 victory over the Blue Devils in Indianapolis.
Through it all, Ware said he had to remain strong. He was placed on a stretcher and wheeled out of Lucas Oil Stadium to cheers of 'Kevin Ware, Kevin Ware,' before heading to Methodist Hospital.
Ware underwent a two-hour operation to repair compound fractures of the tibia that left the leg at an odd angle. He awoke the next morning to discover he had become an overnight sensation, and the afterglow hasn't waned.
His condition and progress have been featured every day on the major networks, the Internet and especially social media. The Cardinals' practice facility was surrounded by a phalanx of satellite trucks, and the interview requests helped Ware get an early jump on his rehab as he shuttled back and forth between makeshift sets.
"It's going to take a long time to get where I want to be," Ware said.
Not that he's dreading the hard work ahead.
"I think God puts things in your life and you have to go through certain obstacles," he said. "I just feel like these are obstacles that are going to make me grow up for the better. It's going to open my eyes to a lot of things I probably haven't seen before."
Ware said he has heard from several of his NBA idols, including Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Charles Barkley. The Louisville guard said he has even heard from first lady Michelle Obama and the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
For the soft-spoken Ware, the support and media attention has meant more interviews than he ever imagined.
"I had no idea I would get this kind of attention," he said. "I'm one of those guys who just likes to play basketball. But the injury opened up a lot of peoples' eyes and I really appreciate all the support. It really means a lot."
But as Ware cherishes the flood of warm wishes, he's also dealing with the irony of the injury's occurrence in a game against Duke.
He leaped high near the right sideline to defend a 3-point attempt, similar to a defensive play he made without incident in Louisville's game in November against Duke in the Bahamas. This time he landed awkwardly, with the leg going in two different directions.
"That was frustrating because it happened the same exact way, me making the play," Ware said. "I was thinking then about just blocking the shot and that was what I was thinking this time. This was just different."
Ware also lamented the timing of his injury, a recollection that made him pause for a moment. A key part of Louisville's guard rotation who often substituted for starters Siva and Russ Smith, Ware had overcome a one-game suspension in January and was coming off a career-best, 11-point effort in Friday's tournament win over Oregon.
Ware is also finding out how difficult it is getting around with one healthy leg.
Fortunately for him, his girlfriend, Louisville sophomore Brittany Kelly, has been there to help since he was injured. Ware's teammate and roommate, forward Chane Behanan, will lend a hand as well.
"He's handling it better than I would've expected," Kelly said. "When they took the towel off his leg, he asked if he'd be able to play next week before they told him no."
Ware's mother, Lisa Junior, also plans to move from Georgia to aid her son's healing process. Ware said his leg will need eight to 12 weeks to heal before he begins rehabilitation in hopes of returning by the start of practice in October.
How he'll celebrate if the Cardinals fulfill their mission is unclear. Ware joked at climbing the ladder to cut down the nets but will likely settle for just being part of the action.
"Whatever I see on the court," he said, "I will tell them about it."

Stupid, ugly ass shoes that people should STOP WEARING. Seriously, NO ONE wants to see your nasty feet! And if you are a guy that wears them you are, simply put, a fag.
Sandals are for dumbasses who think people want to see their stained, corn-ridden, yellow-toenailed feet.

The two teams have the best records in league and Thursday's match was one of the closest the Vikings were involved in. Overcoming the scare, however, Valencia (17-1, 6-0)) continues to reign dominance on the singles side led by senior Jack Zapala.
Zapala was the only singles player for the Vikings to sweep all three of his sets ( 6-0, 6-1, 6-0) only allowing his opponents to score one game.
Valencia head coach Annie Kellogg contributes Zapala's dominance to his ability to be consistent every match.
"Jack played brilliantly today," she said. "His scores are always pretty consistent and that's what makes him such a great player."
Viking Tyler Gottshall also had a good day, defeated West Ranch's No. 1 seed Beau Martin (6-1) and No. 3 seed Jaishen Wei (6-0).
On the doubles side, Valencia was led by Cameron Phillips and Ben Inchalik who were the only doubles team to sweep all three of their sets (6-3, 6-1, 6-4)
This is only the second match that Phillips and Inchalik have played together, but they credit their success at Thursday's match to self-assurance.
"Once we won our first set we had a lot of confidence going into the next two." Inchalik said.
Kellogg was equally impressed with the duo's performance.
"Ben and Cameron did awesome and were really on fire," she said. " They had a game plan and stuck to it and did well with their communication."
The stubborn Wildcats team (6-3-1, 4-2) came into the match with a lot of momentum and produced some solid performances, including Jordan Hovis, who went 2-1 on the afternoon. In doubles, Kevin (blank) and Jeremy (blank) also took two of three matches.
But it wasn't enough to edge out the Viking team.
West Ranch head coach Eric Spiecker was not dissatisfied in his team's effort.
"The team came into the match pumped and ready to go, and unfortunately one set can turn that around in a matter of minutes," Spiecker said. "We lost a lot of momentum after the first set loss and Valencia applied the pressure at crucial times, but I'm not disappointed in the way we played." he said.
But its nothing new for the Vikings team to be doing so well.
How do you keep a team that is so successful, motivated and safe from complacency?
Kellogg says its no easy task.
"It's been a bit of a challenge to keep the fire with these guys," she said. "We have a lot of good schools to face before we get to the playoffs and we have to get ready for that."

The Obama administration may have a tough time making British Petroleum pay for all the cleanup costs of the Gulf Coast oil spill.
BP has agreed to pay those costs, but the law sets a liability cap for oil companies at $75 million. The cleanup costs and the losses for fisherman and other industries are expected to exceed that amount.
"We're glad that the costs for the oil clean up will be covered, but that's little consolation to the small businesses, fisheries and local governments that will be left to clean up the economic mess that somebody else caused," said Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., a sponsor of the legislation raising the cap, which the administration said it supported.
Now some lawmakers have introduced a bill raising the limit to $10 billion.
Aside from the $75 million, the government also maintains an Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund supported by industry fees, which could make a total of $1 billion in payouts per incident to individuals, businesses and governments.
Meanwhile, Americans could soon see the impact of the spill on their wallets. Busy shipping lanes will likely be disrupted, leading to higher costs for items like coffee, bananas, and even tires.

Posted on May 4, 2012 in Miscellaneous Shoes and Apparel
What do you normally say when meeting someone for the first time? For me it's generally something along the lines of, "Hi, I'm Karly. Nice to meet you." So naturally when starting to write my introductory entry for the TW Blog, those were the first words that came to mind. But as I tried to think of other things to say, it was like I lost my entire vocabulary except for those seven words. Talk about frustrating. All I wanted to do was think of something clever. Make a good impression. Was it really that hard? The last thing I wanted was to sound cliché or use a common, boring expression to introduce myself. Desperate, I felt like if I wanted to do something clever, the only option I had was to scramble my seven words around to make a puzzle – perfect for those who can't get enough "Jumble" from their daily paper, but not ideal for a blog. Since that won't work, I'm playing it safe and keeping it simple. Hi, I'm Karly and this is my first blog entry. I just hope I don't come off boring or unoriginal because I couldn't think of any other way to start this off.
Now you may be wondering what the title is all about. Allow me to explain. And don't worry, you didn't land on an online dating personal ad (although this may not be a bad time to mention I have hazel eyes, like long walks on the beach and have a weakness for karaoke…). Instead I chose "Love-Struck Karly" for two reasons.
The first one deals with all the talented players I'm surrounded by here at TW. On the courts, I'm not always the winning player. And, yes, I'll admit it. There've been times were I end up with a love score (Get it? "Love-Struck"). Particularly when playing against people like Brittany, Chris or Siobhan, the score is more like love to forty-thousand. Now, I've been playing tennis since I was 5 and can definitely hold my own against harder hitters. I'm just grateful to have the opportunity to hit with such great players every day. They constantly push me to improve my game, and with any luck, I'll eventually be able to spread the love (score) to others.
Then that brings me to my second reasoning: my job. Along with playtesting, I work as an Assistant Web Editor and help write apparel descriptions for the website. I love it. I get to see all the new outfits the pros will be wearing at the upcoming tournaments and then get to describe their fit to help better our customers' shopping experience. Since online shopping isn't necessarily for the faint of heart – personally I know how nerve-racking it can be waiting for clothes that were bought online to see whether they fit like I expected them to. It definitely puts a damper on my day when they don't. So this is where I ask for your help. Speak up! Let us know if you have any suggestions to make the online shopping experience better. Post a comment on Facebook, tweet us on Twitter or start a thread on our message board. We want to improve, and I'd love to help.
Uh oh, not again. Now that I have to end the entry all I can think of is, "It was a pleasure meeting you." So please excuse me again for using a cliché phrase, but it truly was a pleasure writing this. Can't wait to write again in the future! And let's hope my vocabulary won't make this disappearing act a habit…
Game. Set. Match.

The acquired data revealed a closed pan-genome for this bifidobacterial species and furthermore facilitated the definition of the B. longum core genome. The comparative analysis also highlights differences in the potential metabolic abilities of all three sub-species. Interestingly, phylogenetic analysis of the B. longum core genome indicated the existence of a novel B. longum subspecies. Characterisation of restriction-modification systems from two B. longum subsp. longum strains is described in Chapter 3. These defence mechanisms limit the uptake of genetic material, which was successfully demonstrated for some of the identified systems. When these systems were by-passed by methylation of DNA prior to the transformation procedure, the resulting transformation efficiency of both B. longum subsp. longum strains was increased to a level that allowed for the generation of mutants via homologous recombination. Arabinoxylan metabolism by B. longum subsp. longum NCIMB 8809 was investigated in Chapter 4 of this thesis. Transcriptome analysis allowed the identification of a number of genes involved in the degradation, uptake and utilisation of arabinoxylan. Biochemical analysis revealed that three of the identified genes encode arabinofuranosidase activity. Phenotypic assessment of a number of insertion mutants in genes identified by the transcriptome analysis revealed the essential role of two of these enzymes in arabinoxylan metabolism, and a third enzyme in the metabolism of debranched arabinan. Furthermore, this investigation revealed that B. longum subsp. longum NCIMB 8809 does not completely degrade arabinoxylan, but utilises the arabinose substitutions only, while leaving the xylan backbone untouched.Finally, Chapter 5 outlines that B. longum subsp. longum NCIMB 8809 is capable of removing ferulic and p-coumaric acid substitutions that originate from arabinoxylan. Analysis of the genome sequence led to the identification of a candidate gene for this activity, which was subsequently cloned and expressed in E. coli. Biochemical analysis revealed that the enzyme, designated here as FaeA, is indeed capable of releasing both ferulic and p-coumaric acid from arabinoxylan. Furthermore, it is shown that a derivative of B. longum subsp. longum NCIMB 8809 carrying an insertion mutation in faeA had lost the ability to release ferulic and p-coumaric acid from arabinoxylan, and that growth of this mutant strain is negatively affected when cultivated on growth-limiting levels of arabinoxylan. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Evaporation maps for ternary non-ideal liquid mixtures http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2239 Evaporation maps for ternary non-ideal liquid mixtures Dillon, Paul This thesis deals with the evaporation of non-ideal liquid mixtures using a multicomponent mass transfer approach. It develops the concept of evaporation maps as a convenient way of representing the dynamic composition changes of ternary mixtures during an evaporation process. Evaporation maps represent the residual composition of evaporating ternary non-ideal mixtures over the full range of composition, and are analogous to the commonly-used residue curve maps of simple distillation processes. The evaporation process initially considered in this work involves gas-phase limited evaporation from a liquid or wetted-solid surface, over which a gas flows at known conditions. Evaporation may occur into a pure inert gas, or into one pre-loaded with a known fraction of one of the ternary components. To explore multicomponent masstransfer effects, a model is developed that uses an exact solution to the Maxwell-Stefan equations for mass transfer in the gas film, with a lumped approach applied to the liquid phase. Solutions to the evaporation model take the form of trajectories in temperaturecomposition space, which are then projected onto a ternary diagram to form the map. Novel algorithms are developed for computation of pseudo-azeotropes in the evaporating mixture, and for calculation of the multicomponent wet-bulb temperature at a given liquid composition. A numerical continuation method is used to track the bifurcations which occur in the evaporation maps, where the composition of one component of the pre-loaded gas is the bifurcation parameter. The bifurcation diagrams can in principle be used to determine the required gas composition to produce a specific terminal composition in the liquid. A simple homotopy method is developed to track the locations of the various possible pseudo-azeotropes in the mixture. The stability of pseudo-azeotropes in the gas-phase limited case is examined using a linearized analysis of the governing equations. Algorithms for the calculation of separation boundaries in the evaporation maps are developed using an optimization-based method, as well as a method employing eigenvectors derived from the linearized analysis. The flexure of the wet-bulb temperature surface is explored, and it is shown how evaporation trajectories cross ridges and valleys, so that ridges and valleys of the surface do not coincide with separation boundaries. Finally, the assumption of gas-phase limited mass transfer is relaxed, by employing a model that includes diffusion in the liquid phase. A finite-volume method is used to solve the system of partial differential equations that results. The evaporation trajectories for the distributed model reduce to those of the lumped (gas-phase limited) model as the diffusivity in the liquid increases; under the same gas-phase conditions the permissible terminal compositions of the distributed and lumped models are the same. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Immunostimulatory effects of different aspects of aquaculture on the host response in the edible sea urchin, paracentrotus lividus http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2542 Immunostimulatory effects of different aspects of aquaculture on the host response in the edible sea urchin, paracentrotus lividus Cipriano-Maack, Ashley N. Aquaculture is a fast-growing industry contributing to global food security and sustainable aquaculture, which may reduce pressures on capture fisheries. The overall objective of this thesis was to look at the immunostimulatory effects of different aspects of aquaculture on the host response of the edible sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus, which are a prized delicacy (roe) in many Asian and Mediterranean countries. In Chapter 1, the importance of understanding the biology, ecology, and physiology of P. lividus, as well as the current status in the culture of this organism for mass production and introducing the thesis objectives for following chapters is discussed. As the research commenced, the difficulties of identifying individuals for repeat sampling became clear; therefore, Chapter 2 was a tagging experiment that indicated PIT tagging was a successful way of identifying individual sea urchins over time with a high tag retention rate. However, it was also found that repeat sampling via syringe to measure host response of an individual caused stress which masked results and thus animals would be sampled and sacrificed going forward. Additionally, from personal observations and discussion with peers, it was suggested to look at the effect that diet has on sea urchin immune function and the parameters I measured which led to Chapter 3. In this chapter, both Laminaria digitata and Mytilus edulis were shown to influence measured immune parameters of differential cell counts, nitric oxide production, and lysozyme activity. Therefore, trials commencing after Trial 5 in Chapter 4, were modified to include starvation in order to remove any effect of diet. Another important aspect of culturing any organism is the study of their immune function and its response to several immunostimulatory agents (Chapter 4). Zymosan A was shown to be an effective immunostimulatory agent in P. lividus. Further work on handled/stored animals (Chapter 5) showed Zymosan A reduced the measured levels of some immune parameters measured relative to the control, which may reduce the amount of stress in the animals. In Chapter 6, animals were infected with Vibrio anguillarum and, although V. anguillarum, impacted immune parameters of P. lividus, it did not cause mortality as predicted. Lastly, throughout this thesis work, it was noted that the immune parameters measured produced different values at different times of the year (Chapter 7); therefore, using collated baseline (control) data, results were compiled to observe seasonal effects. It was determined that both seasonality and sourcing sites influenced immune parameter measurements taken at different times throughout the year. In conclusion, this thesis work fits into the framework of development of aquaculture practices that affect immune function of the host and future research focusing on the edible sea urchin, P. lividus. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Nutritional status of lactating mothers and their children 6-23 months of age in pre- and post-harvest seasons in two agro-ecological zones of rural Ethiopia http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2432 Nutritional status of lactating mothers and their children 6-23 months of age in pre- and post-harvest seasons in two agro-ecological zones of rural Ethiopia Roba, Kedir Teji The objective of this study was to assess seasonal variation in nutritional status and feeding practices among lactating mothers and their children 6-23 months of age in two different agro-ecological zones of rural Ethiopia (lowland zone and midland zone). Food availability and access are strongly affected by seasonality in Ethiopia. However, there are few published data on the effects of seasonal food fluctuations on nutritional status and dietary diversity patterns of mothers and children in rural Ethiopia. A longitudinal study was conducted among 216 mothers in two agro-ecological zones of rural Ethiopia during pre and post-harvest seasons. Data were collected on many parameters including anthropometry, blood levels of haemoglobin and ferritin and zinc, urinary iodine levels, questionnaire data regarding demographic and household parameters and health issues, and infant and young child feeding practices, 24 h food recall to determine dietary diversity scores, and household use of iodized salt. Chi-square and multivariable regression models were used to identify independent predictors of nutritional status. A wide variety of results were generated including the following highlights. It was found that 95.4% of children were breastfed, of whom 59.7% were initially breastfed within one hour of birth, 22.2% received pre-lacteal feeds, and 50.9% of children received complementary feedings by 6 months of age. Iron deficiency was found in 44.4% of children and 19.8% of mothers. Low Zinc status was found in 72.2% of children and 67.3% of mothers. Of the study subjects, 52.5% of the children and 19.1% of the mothers were anaemic, and 29.6% of children and 10.5% of mothers had iron deficiency anaemia. Among the mothers with low serum iron status, 81.2% and 56.2% of their children had low serum zinc and iron, respectively. Similarly, among the low serum zinc status mothers, 75.2% and 45.3% of their children had low serum in zinc and iron, respectively. There was a strong correlation between the micronutrient status of the mothers and the children for ferritin, zinc and haemoglobin (P <0.001). There was also statistically significant difference between agro-ecological zones for micronutrient deficiencies among the mothers (p<0.001) but not for their children. The majority (97.6%) of mothers in the lowland zone were deficient in at least one micronutrient biomarker (zinc or ferritin or haemoglobin). Deficiencies in one, two, or all three biomarkers of micronutrient status were observed in 48.1%, 16.7% and 9.9% of mothers and 35.8%, 29.0%, and 23.5%, of children, respectively. Additionally, about 42.6% of mothers had low levels of urinary iodine and 35.2% of lactating mothers had goitre. Total goitre prevalence rates and urinary iodine levels of lactating mothers were not significantly different across agro-ecological zones. Adequately iodised salt was available in 36.6% of households. The prevalence of anaemia increased from post-harvest (21.8%) to pre-harvest seasons (40.9%) among lactating mothers. Increases were from 8.6% to 34.4% in midland and from 34.2% to 46.3% in lowland agro-ecological zones. Fifteen percent of mothers were anaemic during both seasons. Predictors of anaemia were high parity of mother and low dietary diversity. The proportion of stunted and underweight children increased from 39.8% and 27% in post-harvest season to 46.0% and 31.8% in pre-harvest season, respectively. However, wasting in children decreased from 11.6% to 8.5%. Major variations in stunting and underweight were noted in midland compared to lowland agroecological zones. Anthropometric measurements in mothers indicated high levels of undernutrition. The prevalence of undernutrition in mothers (BMI <18.5kg/m2) increased from 41.7 to 54.7% between post- and pre-harvest seasons. The seasonal effect was generally higher in the midland community for all forms of malnutrition. Parity, number of children under five years and regional variation were predictors of low BMI among lactating mothers. There were differences in minimum meal frequency, minimum acceptable diet and dietary diversity in children in pre-harvest and post-harvest seasons and these parameters were poor in both seasons. Dietary diversity among mothers was higher in lowland zone but was poor in both zones across the seasons. In conclusion, malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are very prevalent among lactating mothers and their children 6-23 months old in the study areas. There are significant seasonal variations in malnutrition and dietary diversity, in addition to significant differences between lowland and midland agro-ecological zones. These findings suggest a need to design effective preventive public health nutrition programs to address both the mothers' and children's needs particularly in the preharvest season. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z

John "Doc" Logan, a retired Temple University professor and a pioneer in sports medicine, died Saturday after a lengthy illness. He was 88 and lived in Port Richmond.
Logan had been a professor, athletic trainer and head swimming coach at Temple in a career that began in the 1930s and spanned more than 40 years. He also taught graduate courses at the university.
A registered physical therapist, Logan for many years was associated with the late Dr. John Royal Moore, former chief of orthopedic medicine at Temple University Hospital. He also worked with Moore in his private practice and at Shriners Hospital.

So far, my fiancé and I have tried 4 different Tangiers Birquq flavors: Cane Mint, White Summer Mixed Fruit, Its like that one Breakfast Cereal, and Orange Soda - The first one we tried was the Orange Soda, since it was so hyped - Honestly, we thought it tasted like those old orange flavored chewable vitamins - Bad batch? Anyway, was not a fan - The other flavors though, have been great - Breakfast cereal has a heavy lemon flavor to it, "Fruit Loopsâ€-like if you ask me - White Summer smells like a grape but tastes like a guava - The Cane Mint is now a staple for us - Hands down the best straight mint flavor we've had - Better than mint than Fumari, Nakhla, Al Fakher, and any of the mint Starbuzz flavors - Cant say enough about the Cane Mint!
I hadn't had a bad experience with Tangiers, let alone birquq, until I tried one that I kept putting off but I wanted it to be my favorite, I wanted to want smoke it all the time: Indian Summer - I was so excited, and maybe that's why I'm most let down - This bag came to my door - - - I have no idea what it's actually supposed to taste like - No amount of acclimating, kneading, or any other experiment brings out the flavors this was supposed to have - I've done everything - I feel bad trying to give it to people, they probably think something's wrong with me, trying to give them shisha that tastes like that - To cheer myself up I got hacitragus and pikina sun anyway: Pikina sun has a bit of banana, I wish I'd known beforehand, but is still a good fruit punch-y mix - Hacitragus is a tasty, lightly creamy, citrus treat - I'm not going to give up yet I'll try static starlight finally, and if that floral doesn't pan out, well, I'm gonna be really sad -
Not the greatest thing but isn't the worst.
A nice peach flavor but I wish it had more of that "cobbler" taste to it.
Excellent - Lasts very long - Like raspberrys and BlackBerrys with liquorish
Cane mint is the uber-mint - I haven't tried it in the Noir line, and I've read the birquq isn't as good, but you could've fooled me - Solid flavor all the way through - White summer mixed fruit is definitely a mix of fruits watermelon, for sure - It tastes delicious, but the flavor hit isn't as strong as I'd expected, having gone for cane mint first - - - so I'll try another - I wish they had Jamaica in birquq -
Orange Soda is one of my favorite Tangiers Flavors, its bright and sweet and very smooth.
Just want to say , I've been smoking hookah for a while & mint has always been my favorite - - - Cane Mint change everything on how I feel about hookah , it's by far the strongest mint I've ever had - I used a regular vortex bowl with 3 coco Nara & the kaloud lotus vent closed using my KM & it changes hookah forever , hands down the best setup Ive ever smoke - Just amazing !!
Love all tangier products they are kind of rough at first but they are very smooth once their going and last hours - Love Tangiers
I'm not a big fan of cherries in general but I have to say this flavor is nice - The flavor is like a cherry cheerios to me - But, I would give this a rating of 8/10 -
Ok so let me start off by saying I have had these two flavors for about 3 weeks now - I have smoked them both about 8 times each - Maybe i got a bad batch or my taste buds are going bad but the flavor of this sheesha is just non-existent - I really wanted to love it - I really really did - I tired many things thinking it was the way i packed or my heat management - But in the end it always tasted the same - It tasted like smoke - Just smoke, hardly any flavor - All my friends that tried it agreed with me - I would get massive clouds but couldn't taste anything to enjoy it - Im going to try other lines of Tangiers - But if they do the same I don't think I will be purchasing it again -
I love this brand of shisha - - - if I can acclimated so that the flavor becomes intense and the aftertaste of tabacco leaves - Its like the other breakfeast cereal has an intense smell of cherry but the taste does not refer to the smell - Hard to describe it but what can be said is that it is a delight - I'll buy it again -
I purchased the Peach Iced Tea Flavor & I love it! I Spent some time online to learn how to smoke Tangiers before I had any, Glad I did - Great Flavor, Great Clouds! I would also recommend F Line if you want more kick to your session -
Cherry Poptart
This shisha is amazing! I ordered the orange soda flavor, it's spot on - I got birquq as my first tangiers because I'm new to this stuff - Just knead the tobacco for 5 minutes, pack a dense bowl and this stuff will literally last two hours - I recommend the new titanium coals, they're 100% coconut no fillers whatsoever - They're great for heat management - Clouds are incredible too! 10/10

35 Deliciously Fun Vintage Guinness Ads
One of the best ad campaigns of all time. Happy St. Patrick's Day, fellow Irish (and fake-Irish) drinkers.
Most of these wonderful poster-ads were illustrated by artist John Gilroy, working for the London ad agency S.H. Benson.
Many of Gilroy's ads were set at the zoo.
That's a kinkajou, also known as the "honey bear."
A WW II execution featuring a thirsty Spitfire pilot.
A seal was featured in many of the mid-20th century ads.
Good look, zookeeper.
Fun fun fun.
One of my favorites.
This line wasn't a joke. Doctors thought Guinness was in fact good for you because of its high iron content.
I've found that two is the perfect number to consume.
In the early 1980s, being no longer able to use the line because of pesky regulations, the brewery tweaked the slogan. The masses approved.
Ad agency: Allen, Brady & Marsh.
Via: Business Insider.
The Toucan was the unofficial mascot of Guinness during the mid-20th century.
Another wartime execution.
Love this New York poster.
But, If you haven't gone to Dublin to have a Guinness, you really should.
The difference is remarkable.
One of the more famous Guinness posters.
The "Guinness For Strength" ads were hugely popular.
Another one of the more famous posters.
What's remarkable about this campaign is that it was a creative, consistent simple campaign that keep the same strategy and look for decades. And NO body copy, an anomaly, pre-Mad Men era.
All images via the wonderful Brookston Beer Bulletin.
He has over 100 vintage Guinness ads archived. Take a look.
- Donald Trump accused former Miss Universe Alicia Machado of being in a sex tape, calling her "disgusting." He's appeared in a softcore porn.
- The hair vitamins promoted by the Kardashians make "largely inaccurate" nutrient claims, according to lab tests.
- In a newly released video deposition, Trump implied he planned to call Mexicans "rapists" when he announced his presidential run.

John Mayer never gushed publicly about Jessica Simpson or Minka Kelly, but he has no problem 'fessing his feelings for Justin Timberlake.
"Those of you who've known me for a while are probably familiar with my firm defensive stance when it comes to the state of pop music," Mayer writes on his blog. "I think pop music is on a hot streak right now."
One track blowing Mayer's mind? Timberlake's "LoveStoned/I Think She Knows Interlude."
"Not so much for the 'LoveStoned' part, but for the 45 seconds of ultimate sonic bliss that is 'I Think She Knows,'" writes Mayer. "It's J.T.'s breakthrough moment as an artist; a novel mix of Coldplay guitar lines, hip hop beats and a vocal approach somewhere in between."
When the song comes on, Mayer adds, "I spend the first 3:30 [minutes] preparing for the awesomeness to come. Then I yell at the speakers, 'Make this 4 minutes long and put it on the next disc!'"
John Mayer to Justin Timberlake: You Rock!

on December 12, 2012 - 12:18 AM

The holiday spirit has been eluding Jamie Gugino, and it's not difficult to understand why.
During an approximately six-week period this fall, the Buffalo home she shares with her three children – Aviana, 7; Calogzaro, 9; and Sazileo, 14 – was burglarized four times, most recently in late November.
That last time, the intruders still were inside when Gugino and her children returned to their Riverside home of six years. As the family walked through the front door, the burglars walked out the side door, she said.
"The loss is enough … but it's the feeling you get inside of your house. It's uncomfortable," said Gugino, 33, who noted that she had an alarm system installed after the first burglary.
All told, she said, the family's losses total about $5,000, including cosmetology equipment belonging to Gugino, who is a licensed cosmetologist; electronic game systems belonging to the kids; some jewelry; and a small amount of cash. The insurance company is talking about reimbursing half that amount, she said.
Further, both of her sons have lost their bicycles: one was taken during one of the burglaries, and the other disappeared during a basketball game, she said.
The family is facing financial challenges, as well, as Gugino juggles car insurance payments and a mortgage.
The father of Gugino's two younger children moved to Puerto Rico about three months ago. "He's an ocean away," she said. And in August, Gugino quit her job of four years, on the catering side of a chain restaurant, when her pay was cut by 25 percent.
She recently started a new job, bartending at a Buffalo restaurant. "It's something for now," she said.
Gugino's family is among the thousands of families that will be helped this year by the 31st annual News Neediest Fund. Last year, the fund assisted more than 12,000 families and 14,000 children by distributing more than $700,000 in toys and food.
The Riverside Clubhouse of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Northtowns, where Gugino's children attend after-school programs, is among the agencies collaborating with the Western New York Holiday Partnership to distribute toys from this year's campaign.
"The majority of members that we serve come from single-parent families, as well as living in the poverty level," said Robert O'Brocta, director of operations for Boys and Girls Clubs of the Northtowns.
"In addition to our own members, we are getting a lot more calls," said O'Brocta, which helps get more people involved. "It's kind of like a win-win with our involvement with News Neediest."
Meanwhile, Gugino also is taking classes at the University at Buffalo, where she is majoring in English. She started her studies in 1997, then took a break following the birth of her older son before going back to school last year.
Some day, Gugino said, she would like to write and teach.
These days, it's easy to see why Christmas isn't foremost on her mind.
"I have literally had to drag myself out of my house the past week," she said during a recent interview. "I was depressed … missed a couple of classes. I couldn't even think.
"I have not one Christmas present."
That will change, thanks to those who give to The News Neediest Fund.

What's needed:
• Cash donations to purchase 12,000 holiday dinners and other perishable items

A Common GoalPosted Monday, February 6, 2012, at 11:34 AM
Governor Haslam gave his State of the State Address on Monday, January 30th.
Every year, the Tennessee General Assembly convenes in a joint session and invites the Governor to give an address known as the State of the State. During this speech, the Governor typically unveils his legislative priorities, as well as his budget for the upcoming fiscal year. On Monday, Governor Bill Haslam delivered his second State of the State address in Nashville.
Let me say that I have a great deal of respect for Governor Haslam and, while we belong to different political parties, I stand ready to work with him on the major issues facing our state. But tonight, I was disappointed that I did not hear more about the number one issue facing Tennesseans--jobs.
Right now, there are nearly 270,000 Tennesseans who wake up every morning looking for work. Thousands more are underemployed, working at multiple jobs or jobs that just barely pay the rent. 40 counties in our state still have double digit unemployment rates, including Dyer, Crockett and Lauderdale counties. Yet out of all 55 bills in the Governor's legislative package, only two have anything to do with jobs and the economy. Of those two bills, rural west Tennessee will only have the potential to benefit from one--this simply isn't enough.
Last fall, I joined my colleagues from around the state on the Tennessee Jobs Tour. We met with businesses of all sizes, from companies like Autozone and Nissan that employ thousands to a one man t-shirt shop in Dresden. Everywhere we went we heard the same ideas. These ideas, which are now part of my own Jobs Package, aren't complicated or partisan and they don't cost a lot of money. They're simple solutions like a tax break for people starting a business or a sales tax holiday for small companies needing to update their equipment. Common sense solutions like giving Tennessee businesses preference on state contracts, so your tax dollars go to create jobs here, rather than China, Mexico or another state. They're practical solutions like investing in vocational education through our Technology Centers or retraining people on unemployment with a new skill while they're receiving their benefits. These are real solutions that can turn this economy around and get Tennesseans back to work.
Jobs must be our common goal. As I introduce my Jobs Package in the legislature, I'm hopeful that Governor Haslam and the majority party will work with me to do what is best for all Tennesseans. Jobs are not a partisan issue and neither party has all the right answers. We have to work together, the Governor's party and my own, to find real solutions for Tennessee's jobs crisis. If you would like to see my jobs package, you can visit my website at www.craigfitzhugh.com/blog/jobs.
As always, if you have any questions, please contact my office. Have a great week!

This is an example of:

46. Accept the claims of other anti-Linux propagandists as face value
Always treat other anti-Linux propagandist's statements as being true.
Accept their interpretations without question, don't bother verifying

side with the anti-Linux propagandists.

Making the Pro Bowl last year as a kick returner was nice and all, but Patrick Peterson had a bigger goal in mind this season.
The Cardinals cornerback wanted to make it as a cornerback.
Goal accomplished.
Peterson was the only Cardinals player selected to the all-star game, which will be played Jan. 27 in Honolulu.
"I think it definitely solidifies what I've been trying to get the world to see," Peterson said. "I've been working hard to get into this position all year."
The fifth overall pick in the 2011 draft, Peterson has made the Pro Bowl in both his NFL seasons,
He and Rod Woodson, who is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, are the only players selected as both a defender and kick returner. Peterson is the first Cardinals player to make the Pro Bowl in his first two seasons since Vai Sikahema did it in 1986-87.
"Although last year was a huge accomplishment, this one is 10 times better," Peterson said. "I want to set myself up to be a great cornerback, not a punt returner. Being a punt returner, that's huge, but I want to be known as a defensive back."
Peterson credited his teammates and coaches for helping him reach the goal, and he used last year's appearance in the Pro Bowl as motivation, too. Only 21 then, he learned from cornerbacks there what it took to reach an elite level, he said.
Peterson has intercepted seven passes this season, one behind Tim Jennings of the Chicago Bears, who leads the NFL.
Peterson was selected as a backup behind Jennings and Charles Tillman, who also plays for the Bears. Peterson made the team while Seattle's Richard Sherman, who many people thought was deserving, did not.
Sherman is appealing a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.
It's the first time since 2004 that the Cardinals have had fewer than two players make the Pro Bowl. Their other top candidate this year was inside linebacker Daryl Washington, who leads the team in sacks (nine) and tackles (128).
"That sucks, but it's just the start for Daryl," Peterson said. "He's definitely a key component, a key piece to this defense. It's just the beginning. It's going to be something special next year and for years to come, because he's just that type of player.
Defensive end Calais Campbell has played well, but he missed three games because of a calf injury.
Two familiar names on the Cardinals roster were not selected to the Pro Bowl this year.
Strong safety Adrian Wilson had been to four consecutive Pro Bowls and five in the past six years. Receiver Larry Fitzgerald had made five consecutive Pro Bowls and six in his nine-year career.

I guess I have a rather high pain threshhold. In my younger days I had dreadlocks made. I had them made at an afro-hair salon, and the lady doing them asked me 'doesn't it hurt?' apparently, most of her other customers who had them made had complained to no end.
Also, when I had my first tattoo, I remarked that it hurt most in my butt, for sitting still for so many hours

Never Let Me Go (2004), Kazuo Ishiguro's sixth novel, resumes the author's preoccupation with memory and its affective imbrications, with the combined means of science-fiction and the moral parable. Its first-person narrator-protagonist, Kathy H, like most of the supporting cast, is a clone designed for organ donation and, in the interim, a carer (or nurse) to other, already donating, clones; her narrative details her childhood and early adulthood in a language that is evidently inscribed by her condition. Yet, rather than engage critically with the ethics of genetic engineering or the condition of clones, the book normalises its protagonists and concentrates within their predetermined lifespan the experiences of a lifetime, f…
