At more than 150 antiques appraisal events all over the world every year, I tell people what they've got and what it really is worth. My approach is plain, simple and straightforward. This unique approach, along with my unexpected flair for the comedic - most people figure a Ph.D. is bound to be boring and stuffy but I'm not - has attracted many people including many men to my appraisal events.
Guys are keen collectors and they know, dare I say better than some women, when someone is feeding them a line. I reveal the real deal and that is largely what brings the guys coming back to my antiques appraisal events with the objects that they collect. Guys want to hear the truth and they know, no matter what, I will tell them just that.
In Baltimore, Md., I just had to coax Dan into wearing the strand of pearls that he bought at a Goodwill Thrift Store for $15. When I told him that the pearls matched his Baltimore Ravens football jersey and purple camouflage ensemble - straight out of Duck Dynasty - he laughed along with his wife and just shrugged me off. When I explained that he had a purchased an opera length strand of hand-knotted 6 millimeter Mikkimoto pearls from Japan dating back to the 1950s worth $2,500, he stopped laughing. He ran up to the stage to model them for me. Who says men don't like to buy jewelry?

In Roanoke, Va., I told a nice guy who just wanted to keep the old crock that sat at the top of his grandmother's staircase for years that sometimes sentimental objects are also worth some cash. Pete initially took the oversized crock from his late grandmother's house for sentimental reasons. A few weeks later, during football season, he found that grandma's old crock was the perfect size for putting his beer on ice. The early 1900s storage crock had a cobalt blue image of a flower on it and Pete nearly dropped it off my event stage (I couldn't lift it so he came to the stage to help me) when I told him that his crock was worth $5,000. After my event, he was heading home with his crock to break the news to his football buddies that they needed to chip in for a new beer cooler.
I first met Nick in Hazleton and since then he has been at many of my events over the years. At one event, Nick brought me a flag to appraise. The flag had been in his family for years and he knew that it was from Philadelphia. His family had it since the late 19th century. Nick's flag was Centennial flag dating to 1876. As was customary at the time, the flag was flown over the streets of Philadelphia during the 1876 World's Fair or Centennial Expo. I told Nick that his piece of Americana was worth $20,000.
Nick was so happy and surprised to know the real information about his flag. Nick's flag is not only an old piece of World Fair memorabilia but it is glorious, too.
I review wonderful historic objects, sporting objects and a litany of objects all over the world.
Some are more masculine than others, but no matter the object, guys want to hear the real truth about their art, antiques and collectibles.
I am glad to share the news with the boys!

For my movie Last Kind Words (directed by Kevin Barker) we did this and were glad we did. A few last minute changes pushed our budget into the Low Budget Modified range and we went ahead and made the adjustment with SAG (though we may not have had to). Because we'd already hired at the higher rate we didn't have to negotiate contracts with anyone except our few day players.
Hiring at Low Budget Modified scale allowed us to hire super talented Spencer Daniels for our lead. I'm sure his agent wouldn't have submitted him at the Ultra Low Budget rate.
|We were also able to make offers to Canadian teen actress Alexia Fast (above), as well as Sarah Steele. Their agents were willing to consider the offers at $268 a day. It is unlikely they would have for $100.
That said, if you're shooting super small don't feel ashamed to offer only $100, but be aware that your best casting opportunities will come through your connections, as not a lot of agencies will submit.

Park City, KY, (April 29, 2012) – Monster Energy Athlete Paul Whibley extended his lead in the Grand National Cross Country series point standings with a solid third-place finish at the inaugural running of the Mammoth GNCC at Mammoth Park Resort in Park City, Kentucky.
Whibley once again grabbed the holeshot to start the three-hour race, and then led much of the first two laps before giving way to fellow New Zealander Rory Mead, who went on to claim his first-ever GNCC victory.
Defending series champ Charlie Mullins also passed up Whibs before the end of the six-lap race, leaving the Am Pro Yamaha rider to finish third at the end of the day. However, Whibley's nearest challenger in the standings, Kailub Russell, struggled with lappers on the narrow and freshly cut trail and finished the race in fourth, allowing Whibley to add an additional two points to his cushion over the young KTM rider.
With five races now in the books, Whibley leads Russell by three points in the chase for the 2012 title, 119 to 116.
How would you sum up your race?
All in all, it was a good day. I got another good start, but I was struggling in the rocks and Rory caught me; he goes real fast in that kind of stuff. He got by me on the second lap and I couldn't keep up with him, he was riding a really hot pace.
When did Mullins get you?
He got past me about mid-way; I was hoping to keep up with him, and I settled into a good pace and felt relaxed, but I couldn't find a way around. On the last lap I got hung up on the hill and lost a bit of ground to him. But, overall, it was a good race for us.
Mead looked pretty good and the really tricky stuff.
Yeah, he has a trials background, so in the technical stuff he's a real good rider. It's not a big surprise that he was going so good in this stuff.
Kailub struggled on the big hill on the opening lap; was that hill a factor in your race?
There was one big hill that wasn't too bad. You could get up it with no problem, but every once in a while there would be guys stuck on it and you would have to find an alternate line up it, and I think that's what happened to Kailub. I think there were riders stuck on it and it caused him problems. It wasn't too bad, just rocky and loose. It cost me a few seconds on the final lap, and I lost a bit of ground to Mullins, but I don't think it made a difference in the race.
When Rory went by you, did you try to keep his pace?
I tried for a little bit on the first lap, but once we got to the rocky stuff he was flying, there was no way I was going to stay with him in the rocks.
You ended up gaining some points on Russell so you have to feel good about that.
Yeah, I still need to start winning races here soon, but I've been on the podium at every race and Kailub hasn't so that accounts for something. If we can't win races, we need to be getting on the podium with some good finishes. Kailub was closing in on us, so we gained some points and extending the points is the main goal, so in that regard today was a good day.

Grace Gorenflo, MPH, RN, is Senior Advisor, NACCHO, Washington, District of Columbia.
Corresponding author: Grace Gorenflo, MPH, RN, NACCHO, 1100 17th St, NW Second Floor, Washington, DC 20036 (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) is the national organization representing local health departments. NACCHO supports efforts that protect and improve the health of all people and all communities by promoting national policy, developing resources and programs, seeking health equity, and supporting effective local public health practice and systems.
The articles in this journal demonstrate that the time for accreditation has come for governmental public health. State health departments and local health departments (LHDs) will soon have the opportunity to join the ranks of many others in health disciplines that demonstrate their accountability and meet defined standards through accreditation programs. NACCHO is a major player in the establishment of the new voluntary national accreditation program, the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). Borne from the recommendations of the Exploring Accreditation project, the PHAB is being incorporated by the leadership of NACCHO, the American Public Health Association, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, and the National Association of Local Boards of Health. NACCHO is working to ensure that the program includes features that will increase LHDs' participation and is also providing resources for LHDs to engage in quality improvement efforts and otherwise position themselves to become accredited. The time to become prepared for accreditation is now.
NACCHO has been on record since 2004 in support of voluntary accreditation, provided that several provisions are addressed. NACCHO's representatives on the Exploring Accreditation Steering Committee* worked to ensure that the design of the national program included features to encourage LHD buy-in and participation. The resultant program recommendations addressed nearly all of NACCHO's issues, paving the way for NACCHO's leadership to endorse the recommendations and resolve to "lead, in cooperation with appropriate partners, in the development and implementation of such a national voluntary accreditation program that will drive continuous quality improvement." The American Public Health Association, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, and the National Association of Local Boards of Health also support the program's recommendations.
NACCHO believes that the voluntary national accreditation program must be affordable, designed as a part of a system that supports participation, and generated through significant input from local public health practitioners.
A primary theme in NACCHO's resolution revolves around the need for a national accreditation program to be within financial reach for all interested LHD applicants. New funds must be available to support the costs, and cost-shifts must not occur to participate. The steering committee strived to design a program that would attract a maximum number of participants, fully recognizing the need to make not only the application fees, but also the related costs for undergoing the process, reasonable and affordable for public-sector entities. The program recommendations outline a robust set of strategies to this end, with an emphasis on significant program subsidies and a variety of mechanisms to support budget requests for accreditation and have them treated as allowable costs.
NACCHO also cited a systems approach as key to the program's success. Such an approach would require the availability of tools and resources to help LHDs succeed with accreditation, a parallel effort to accredit state health departments in a mutually supportive and philosophically consistent manner, and partnerships with those who train and educate the public health workforce. The PHAB will offer assistance on the application process and also will advocate for the availability of technical assistance for LHDs working to align themselves with program standards. The PHAB has been designed to accredit both state and local health departments, and the same 11 domains will be the framework for both state- and local-level standards. Although the program recommendations do not specify a role for public health trainers and educators other than participation on the governing board, these groups have been identified as key collaborators for the program's development.
NACCHO and its members must play a significant role in developing the accreditation program and tools and in determining who should do the accrediting. The Operational Definition of a Functional Health Department (Operational Definition), developed through an extensive vetting process with local health officials and public health partners, has been identified as the framework for local standards for the PHAB. NACCHO's executive director is on the Board of Incorporators for the PHAB. In addition to establishing internal operations, this group will appoint the first governing board that will assume full responsibility for the new entity. In accordance with the program recommendations, the PHAB's governing board will have a majority of members with state and local public health practice experience, providing yet another venue for significant input from local public health practice. In addition, the developmental phase of the PHAB includes the formation of several committees to establish standards and assessment processes; these groups will primarily comprise current state and local public health practitioners. The developmental phase is designed to allow for sufficient time and effective methods for vetting program standards and measures through potential applicants. Finally, NACCHO staff will assist in the development of standards and assessment processes and in research and evaluation activities.
Now is the time for LHDs to take advantage of resources to position themselves for accreditation. Enhancing capacity, engaging in effective performance activities, and cultivating governing bodies that are informed and supportive of accreditation applications will not happen overnight. The following resources and additional information about them are available at www.naccho.org.
* An interactive map, populated on an ongoing basis with resources from states that have accreditation or related programs for LHDs,* including the standards and measures in use, best practices in meeting the standards, crosswalks between the standards and the Operational Definition, and other state-specific resources.
* A prototype set of measures for the Operational Definition standards. Drawn from measures in use from the National Public Health Performance Standards local instrument and state-based accreditation programs, these metrics provide a sense of what some PHAB standards and measures may look like.
* A series of workshops on quality improvement to be offered through seven states, as well as other quality improvement resources.
* A series of Web casts that cover such topics as quality improvement, lessons learned from state-based accreditation programs, and how to engage governing boards.
* Tools developed through NACCHO's efforts to support states working to "functionally regionalize" local governmental public health. Over time, these will include resources such as lessons learned about the process, checklists to assist others in undertaking a similar effort, sample mutual aid agreements, state legislation enabling cross-jurisdictional sharing of resources, governance agreements, and economic analyses of cost efficiencies gained through regionalization.
* A peer assistance network that connects those with experience in using the Operational Definition or similar standards with those looking for assistance in applying standards or otherwise aligning themselves with the Operational Definition.
NACCHO is committed to continue developing tools and resources that will assist LHDs in operating within a culture of quality improvement and otherwise preparing for accreditation. Contact Jessica Solomon at NACCHO at (202) 783–5550 for more information. Additional information about the PHAB can be found at www.phaboard.org.
*NACCHO's representatives on the Exploring Accreditation Steering Committee were Stephanie Bailey, MD, MSHSA, then Director of Health, Metro Nashville/Davidson County, Tennessee, and currently Chief of Public Health Practice for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Harold Cox, MS, MPH, then Chief Public Health Officer, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and now the Associate Dean for public Health Practice at Boston University; Bobby Pestronk, MPH, Health Officer, Genesee County, Michigan, and current President-Elect of NACCHO; and Bruce Pomer, MPA, Executive Director, Health Officers Association of California. Dr Bailey also chaired the Standards Development Workgroup, and Mr Pomer chaired the Finance and Incentives Workgroup. Cited Here...

Liz Allen: A 73-year love story for Father's Day
Everything looked so familiar -- the crucifix, the Blessed Mother statue, the Last Supper painting, the family portraits, the wooden dressing table with the round mirror and matching bench.
I could have been in my parents' bedroom, but I was visiting Herman and Ginny Heintzl at Sarah Reed Retirement Center, at the invitation of their daughter, Dottie Hodapp, 68, the middle of their five children.
Every Father's Day, I dearly miss my father and I ache for my son Marc, who lost his dad at age 17.
Visiting the Heintzl family was a good reminder that the ingredients for a happy family are simple: Cherish your kids and make them feel like being their parent is the greatest job in the world.
Herman and Ginny raised three boys and two girls and "led unassuming lives," Dottie says. "Mom sang in the choir at St. John the Baptist Church for 50 years until her eyes and hearing failed. Dad was an usher in his 99th year when we made him quit because he was not steady on his feet."
After 64 years in their home at East 29th and Holland streets, the couple moved into Sarah Reed in 2009. A year and a half ago, Ginny moved to the skilled nursing wing because of back problems and dementia.
Herman, who will turn 104 in September, scoots along in his walker to visit his 95-year-old wife and to eat supper with her every day.
They met when Ginny was 20 and cleaning house for Herman's mother; she asked her not-yet-wed son, the fourth of her seven boys, to escort Ginny home one night. "My gram said, 'Make him take the long way home,'" Dottie recalls. "From then on, they were a couple."
Herman was a skilled woodworker and later a tool-and-die maker, but the family didn't have a lot of money. Family outings were simple -- Sunday drives, taking the ferry to the beach, picking elderberries, fishing for trout with the boys.
At age 75, with her husband's eyesight failing, Ginny learned to drive so they could maintain their independence.
"They never argued. They never said a bad word about each other. They are just two kind people," says Dottie.
So it's understandable that Herman was distraught recently when his wife of 73 years ended up in the emergency room after choking on food. (She's now back at Sarah Reed.)
"Dad was so worried about Mom that he got himself dressed and headed out of Sarah Reed and walked over to the ambulance entrance of Saint Vincent's," Dottie says. He navigated the three-block walk alone late at night.
A surprised nurse in intensive care saw "this little old man with a walker walking with the security guard and he told her he needed to see his wife," Dottie says. "What a love story! I am so in awe of them."
That makes two of us.

Several Oklahoma City area gas stations have dropped gas prices to $2.99 Wednesday morning.
Experts said gas prices tend to fall at this time of year as refiners make a cheaper blend of gasoline for the cooler months, and people drive fewer miles.

In this last movie of this chapter, I'd like to take a look at one more type of linking called "image maps". I'm going to go ahead, and close this document that we were working on in the previous movie, and in my Files panel, we're going to open up a file called "locations.html". And this is just a page that will direct people to the different teacloud stores located all over the country; so easy to set them up when you have a fake company. But what we have here is an image of the United States, and you can see it's divided into pacific, northern, eastern, and, southern areas. Now, this is one image. You can see there's a box around this entire image.
If I wanted to create a link to my stores, I can only have one link when I have the entire image selected like this. Notice down here with this image selected, I have one Link field just like when I had these Menu buttons selected up here; I have one link field to set links for those Menu buttons. But there may be times when you want different areas of the image to link to different parts of your web page. In order to do so, you need to create an image map, in which you actually map out regions on the image to provide links to other web pages, whether they happen to be on your site, or otherwise. Notice with this image selected, we have this Map area down here in our Properties Inspector.
If you don't see that area make sure that your Properties Inspector is not collapsed like this. Make sure you have the full Properties Inspector available, but you should see this Map area down here. And the Map area basically involves these four tools that you see here. We've got our Pointer Tool, which is selected by default. A Rectangular Hotspot Tool, a Circular Hotspot Tool, they call it the Oval, but you can only draw circles with it, and a Polygon Hotspot Tool for drawing irregular shapes. And basically you use these tools to draw the areas on your page that you want to turn into Hotspots on your image map.
Now, for something as irregular as the United States is shaped, I'll most likely want to stick to the Polygon Tool. Maybe I could get away with the Rectangular Tool up here for the northern stores so, if select the Rectangular Tool, and I'm just going to put my curser right here at the border, drag up, and we'll just take it to right there. We'll leave out that little piece of Michigan for now, and there is my Map. Notice this message that I'm getting that says "Please describe the image map in the 'alt' field on the Properties Inspector". This description is going to help visually impaired people who use tools that use the web. Basically people with vision disabilities, who might have audible readers, or screen reading software to read their images, they won't be able to use your image map unless you provide this alternate text for accessibilities reasons. So, you can see, with my image map drawn, I have a Hotspot Properties Inspector now, and right down here I'm just going to type in "northern stores" as my alternate text, that way there'll be a description of what this box is.
Notice that we have a link area that automatically has a "#" in there. Right now it's just a placeholder. What you need to do here is actually just link to the web page that you want to link to. So, If I in fact had a page listing all the stores in the Northern United States, I could link to that page, just by browsing for it, or pointing to the file, or just typing it in. I don't have any of those pages created right now, but just for this example we'll just imagine the page is called "northernstores.html", and that's it. That's my hotspot link. If I save this page, and check this out in the browser. Here's my page. Notice that as I roll over the image, I don't see a pointer finger until I roll over that area where my image map exists.
There's my link area, and if you look down here at the Status bar, you can see that it's linking to northernstores.html. Of course, that page doesn't exist so, it's going to tell me it can't find it, but you got the idea. I've now drawn a hotspot on this image, and that's the only part of this image that's currently active as a link. Back in {italic}Dreamweaver,{plain} if I go look at the code, you can see the code that it actually had to write for this. It writes coordinates, as you can see right here describing that area. The shape is a rectangle, those are the coordinates, and there's the link. Now, the rest of these areas I probably cannot get away with using the rectangle with. So, instead I'm going to come down here, select the entire image first, come down, we're going to get the Polygon Hotspot Tool. The Polygon Hotspot Tool allows you to draw irregular shapes, and the way that it works is you basically click your points around the area that you want to turn into a hotspot.
Let's just stay we start right down here, and I'm going to click once. It's going to give me a message again. I'm just going to say OK, and dismiss it, and then we'll just come in here, and notice that it's drawing lines. When I click my third point, {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} tries to close off the shape. I'm going to ignore that, and just keep clicking around the pacific store area here. It's best to try to use as few points as possible, meaning there'll be less code written. You don't have to be exactly precise along the entire edge of the United States here. And let's see, that's probably good. Now, obviously you don't want to overlap other hotspots or else you'll have some kind of weird conflict going on with the same area linking to two different spots.
So, avoid overlapping your hotspots. It looks like I didn't quite line that up the way I wanted. So, what I can do is select my Arrow Tool now, and now I can click on a point and I can edit that point and change it so, let's make sure that lines up a little bit better to the northern stores area. Maybe like that, just drag that up a little bit more, and maybe we'll just drag that so the actual bowl is included there. And there's my irregular Polygon Hotspot shape. We want to make sure that we add some alternate text.
And we'll add our non-existent link. Of course, I can always create these pages later, and my links will already be created. So, there it is, and I can now work on my next hotspot. Now one thing to be careful about when working with the Polygon Tool, because you're working with an irregular shape, {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} has no idea when you're done drawing that shape. So, if I come in here, and select the Polygon Tool again, with the pacific stores shape still selected, if I start clicking it's going to assume that I want to continue working on that shape. Let me undo that. So, what you need to do is after you draw your shape, if it still has these dots around it, these handles around it, {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} assumes that you still want to work with that particular hotspot even if you're done with it. So what you want to do after you're done is make sure you select the Arrow Tool, click somewhere off of that shape to deselect it, then select your Polygon Tool again, and then you can start drawing a new shape, and we'll just come in here, and ignore that, and we'll come in here, and continue clicking around to draw our next shape. And again just try to use as few points as possible, and just get the general shape of the hotspot you're trying to draw. Just like that, and we'll call this one southern states.
Add our link, and to draw the last one, again we want to select the Arrow Tool, click off to deselect that shape, select my Polygon Tool again, and now we can come in here, and draw the next shape, and there we go.
We'll call this one "eastern stores", and we'll add our link, and there it is. So, now I have my four Hotspot areas. Now, I guess I called that one "southernstates" by accident. Let's change that back to "stores". The thing about the Polygon Tool is that it's a lot more complicated to write in code.
You see, compared to the rectangle, which had four coordinates up here, this Polygon has a lot more coordinates. So, just be glad that {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} does all this for you, and you don't have to map this out by hand like we used to have to do when created image maps. So, now if I Preview this in my browser, if you watch the Status bar down here at the bottom as I roll over these different areas, you can see that even though I have one image, I've created four different Hotspots that link to four separate pages in my website. So, that's creating an image map. Now, incidentally if you don't want to see that message that appears every time you try and draw a hotspot, if you get the idea and just think you'll remember that you have to put in some alternate text, what you can do-- Let me undo that spot I just put down.
Go to {italic}Dreamweaver{plain} Preferences, and under the Accessibility category you can uncheck Images from the Show attributes when inserting, click on OK, and now when I draw a hotspot I don't get that warning, and I can just draw my hotspot under interrupted. I'll just delete that. Just be aware that when you turn that off you will no longer see the dialog box when you drag in images as well, so remember that alternate text is important but if you don't want to see that reminder every time, you know how to turn that off now. So, that's how we create image maps in {italic}Dreamweaver.{plain}

Media Release: Moosa upbeat about tourism growth in SA
Date: 2003-02-18
The Minister reiterated that South Africa remained the best performing tourist destination in the World, with the latest statistics showing that foreign tourist arrivals to South Africa increased by 10.1% for the first ten months of 2002 - 478 580 tourists - compared to the same period the previous year.
"October 2002 recorded the highest monthly foreign tourist arrivals in 2002 and his is great news not only for the tourism industry but for the country as a whole," said the Minister. " The job opportunities created by tourist visits to our country are enormous". A total of 579,355 foreign tourists visited the country in October last year against 480,464 in October 2001, recording a 20.6% (98,891) growth - the highest since 1998. (See attached table)
The other focus of the briefing was on the legislation to be tabled before Parliament this year and includes two conservation bills and the marine and air quality bills. The Minister emphasized the need for a Biodiversity Bill, especially in view of the unregulated nature of the biodiversity environment. "Most companies including foreign corporate giants obtain our indigenous plants and patent them for their selfish ends and we want to bring a stop to that," said the Minister.
The hosting of the World Parks Congress in September 2003 was also raised as a milestone for conservation. The congress will be held in Durban from 8-17 September.
He also emphasized the importance of the establishment of an environmental court in Hermanus in conjunction with the department of Justice, Public Works, Prosecuting authority and the Asset Forfeiture unit.
"This measure will expedite the prosecution of environmental crimes which have had to wait too long in the magistrates courts," said the Minister. Asked whether the department was considering a total ban on abalone, he said although this proposal was being discussed, government has "not yet lost the battle in the fight against abalone poaching" and a total ban may not be necessary.
The air quality discourse and enforcement will receive further attention this year and the department will strengthen its legislation to deal with defaulting companies. The Minister promised to deal firmly with companies who do not comply with their operating permits, adding that the department would not hesitate to close down these companies if the need arose.
Finally Minister Moosa acknowledged South Africa's international role in the WSSD (World Summit on Sustainable Development) outcomes implementation process. The Minister has been appointed to chair the 11th Session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD), which takes place in New York from 28 April to 09 May 2003.
"My appointment as chair of the 11th session of the Commission on Sustainable Development will give South
Africa an opportunity to influence the direction of the WSSD outcomes process," he said.

SHANGHAI — Gov. Rick Snyder shared personal stories on his favorite Pure Michigan tourism activities with about 60 Chinese tour operators and journalists on Thursday.
"I personally spent all my summers growing up on a lake. We had a place in the city during the school year, and the when school was out we went to the lake as quick as possible," he said. "So we would like to share that with all of you."
Snyder, who arrived in his Shanghai hotel just minutes before the press conference, urged the group to visit the Great Lakes state. He paused after every couple of sentences to allow an interpreter to translate his remarks.
"I personally participated in this program just last week, it's called catch and cook," he said. "If you go out with a charter fishing boat operator on the Great Lakes and you happen to catch a big salmon, then you can bring it in, they'll clean it, you can take it to a local restaurant and eat it for lunch or dinner right after you caught it.
"That's the freshest fish in America," he said, explaining that he understands Chinese people's interest in having the freshest food.
The Chinese spend more on international tourism than any other country, and Michigan hopes to cash in on their growing appetite for travel.
Tourism is a key focus of Snyder's trade mission to Asia. George Zimmermann, the state's top travel official, is in China meeting with tour operators, travel journalists and others in an effort to assess the market and spread the word.
While the Pure Michigan campaign doesn't plan to advertise like it does in the United States with television ads and billboards, Zimmermann is encouraging tour operators to feature Michigan in their brochures and websites. The campaign also produced Pure Michigan travel brochures in Chinese featuring the Detroit Institute of Arts, Mackinac Island, the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Meijer Gardens and other destinations.
"We know many Chinese already visit Michigan for business, to attend university, to visit family and friends," Zimmermann said. "We encourage these Chinese travelers to explore Michigan when they're in our beautiful state."
Jessica Yang, who works for a tour operator in Shanghai, told MLive her company has some groups who stay in Detroit for one or two nights.
She said she thinks Michigan has an opportunity to lure more Chinese travelers who are attracted to the state's lakes and natural beauty.
Just ask Wen Tan, a materials scientist at Medtronic's medical device innovation center in Shanghai.
"I love Michigan's fall color," he said on Thursday while meeting with a Michigan-based manufacturer about a potential business relationship.
Tan said he went to Copper Harbor three times while he worked in Minnesota for a few years.
Representatives from Delta Airlines, Marriott Hotels & Resorts and the U.S. Consulate General's office all spoke with the group about flights between Detroit and Shanghai and Beijing, hotels in Michigan and efforts to make it easier for tourists to obtain visas.

|A town of SE Umbria: 42°42N, 12°56E. Altitude: 974 m. Population in 2003: 165.
About three-quarters of the town, seen from the N on the road to Cerreto.
Poggiodomo is a remote town in the mountains W of Cascia: the territory of the comune is strung along the upper valley of the Tissino — in the above photo, far below, offscreen left — on the road from Monteleone di Spoleto (13 km S) that then follows that creek about 17 km further N to Cerreto. Another small road leads 13 km NW to Vallo di Nera and eventually Spoleto (roughly 30 km).
For all that geography, Poggiodomo and its three dependent hamlets — Mucciafora, Roccatamburo, and Usigni — add up to only about 200 people, making it the smallest comune in Umbria. It is also, with neighboring Monteleone, the highest.
As you might expect, the area is mostly woods, and a good place to look for truffles; but there are also at least two churches of interest: in the town itself, the medieval church of S. Pietro with Renaissance frescoes; and a few miles to the S in Usigni, the baroque church of S. Salvatore the elegant decoration of which is due to the hamlet's having been the home of Fausto Poli, a powerful cardinal under •Pope Urban VIII. Mention should also be made of the frescoed hermitage of the Madonna della Stella, mostly carved into live rock in the 14c, about 5 km N: although it properly belongs to the territory of Cerreto, the visitor will find it much closer to Poggiodomo.
In addition to the pages below, you'll probably also find it useful to read the May 12, 2004 entry of my diary, which includes a photo of some of the frescoes of the Madonna della Stella; for further (and much better) information, see the websites linked in the navigation bar at the bottom of the page.
[ 6/6/05: 3 churches, 2 pages, 7 photos ]
In my two‑day walk thru the area, I did not see all the churches, nor were any of them open; but just the same, I can still show you some of Poggiodomo's churches.
Like most of the comuni in Italy, Poggiodomo includes in its territory some smaller towns and hamlets, usually of a few hundred inhabitants if that, with a certain administrative identity of their own: as elsewhere in Italy, these are referred to as the frazioni of the comune (singular: frazione, literally a "fraction"): a complete list of them follows; the links include photographs and some fairly detailed information.
Mucciafora • Roccatamburo • Usigni

It's been such a long time since we've had a good old fashioned butt kicking that I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet. As near as I can tell, the last time we got spanked by 20 points or more was January 7th, against the T-Wolves, in our one, really bad game of the new year. Now make it two.
There is something that I really don't understand, some weird relationship between the new (old) found run and gun, seven seconds or less offense that the Suns are back to, and somehow becoming more intense on defense at the same time. How does that happen? How do you crank up the speed and play loose and free, and simultaneously get better on defense? It doesn't work for Golden State. There's no doubt this is the best defense the Suns have played against us in our three matchups, and they did it with small ball (less the big Shaqtus). The Suns started three guards (Nash, Barbosa and J-Rich), a small forward (Grant Hill) and Shaq, and the only other guys they used for the most part was Louis Amundson ( a natural power forward), Barnes and Dragic.
The answer seems to be sort of a pick your poison gambit: They assume they may get beat on the boards, and may not be able to protect the rim that well (even though they did), in exchange for a lot of fast and loose guys switching and playing the passing lanes like a bunch of hawks. It worked great tonight. The Suns got 14 steals, and forced 23 turnovers (and got 29 points off of them), and the Thunder never looked in sync except for a nice little run in the third. The rest of the time it was making my eyes bleed.
In the first quarter I had a pretty good idea that we were in for a long night when I counted the Suns getting to the rim on their first seven possessions. We are talking point blank shooting here. It was like the metaphor of the "matador" defense where the Thunder just shook the red blanket thingy at the bull and stepped aside letting it go right on by. The Suns scored 38 points on 71% shooting, resulting in a ridiculous offensive efficiency of 146. Meanwhile we shot 32% and had an offensive efficiency of 88.5. We were just terribly inefficient offensively while the Suns were quite the opposite. They had the most incredible ball movement most of the night. The Thunder may stop the first guy, but the Suns just knew how to get an open shot with a wide variety of give and go's, back cuts, baseline cuts and dribble drive penetration.
To steal a page from Royce, one sequence in the first really summed up our offensive inefficiency:
(2:16 left, first quarter) Earl leading the break turns the ball over, getting stripped by Goran Dragic, resulting in a layup for the Suns. The next possession Earl jacks up a three pointer with 13 seconds left on the shot clock; a miss of course resulting in a defensive rebound for the Suns and a three pointer for Barbosa. The next possession Earl again calls his number and hits a little midrange jumper. The Suns score a field goal, and on the next possession Earl drives and attempts a little layup, which is blocked by Amundson, who gets the rebound and gets it to Grant Hill who scores. The net outcome of that little fiasco is 4 possessions, 2 points, 1 turn, 1 blocked against for the Thunder, 4 possessions, 1 steal, 1 block and 9 points for the Suns. It's extra significant that Earl did this crap with Green and Durant both on the floor at the time. Just last week I was writing about how Earl had sort of gotten back in my good graces, playing so steady lately. Grrrr!
But that's not all, since I'm picking on Earl, this also went down in the second quarter:
(9:03 second quarter) Earl again bombs away from three point land, this time at least with just 7 seconds on the clock and misses. Green gets the rebound and the ball winds up in Watson's hands again who decides to drive it right at Shaqtus, who immediately blocks him and gets the rebound. After a Suns miss and a Weaver rebound, Watson again decides he's a scorer and launches a long two which bricks. 3 more possessions with nothing to show for it.
The Thunder really only played one quality quarter tonight which was the third. The somehow found their strokes, and played some semblance of defense. I really got my hopes up that they would make a game of it when they cut the lead to six (after being down 28) in the early moments of the fourth, but then the Suns just took off and never looked back. Their offense is really just something to behold, especially in light of how this whole scheme just changed three games ago.
- Former Sonic Eddie Johnson was the color man for the Suns broadcast on League pass. He was very impressed with Durant and said that he was positive Durant would lead the league in scoring for 4 or 5 years during his career.
- Alvin Gentry has sort of done the "duh" thing by bringing back the 7 seconds or less offense. To me it's like "uhhm, what took Steve Kerr so long to admit his mistake"?
- Leandro Barbosa still amazes me with his speed when I see him. If he isn't the fastest player in the league I don't know who is. The irony here is that while he just dropped 41 on us tonight, he was ours for the taking in 2003. We needed a point guard and we had the 12th and 14th pick. Hinrich and T.J. Ford were gone and we took Colly with 12 and chose Ridnour with 14. Barbosa fell to the bottom of the first round.
- Brooks tried to throw out anything to see if it would stick. He went small with his rotation, using Atkins, Watson, Weaver, Green and Colly. The Suns then went to a zone and befuddled us completely.
- Then Brooks went with Wilkins, Westbrook, Durant, Green and Krstic. I really am not a fan of Wilkins. Not to belabor the point, but in his five minutes in the first half he was -6. He couldn't keep Barbosa in front of him, or stop him from launching dead eye jumpers either. However, nobody else had much luck either.
- On the other side, Nash couldn't keep Westbrook in front of him either, but the Suns defense rotated and collapsed pretty well and kept Westbrook from doing too much damage.
- I could be wrong, but I think tonight was Krispy's first start of the season. He was shaky with his jumper early but got it going later, finishing with 16 and 6 on 8/13 shooting.
- Durant couldn't do anything to stop Richardson.
- Green seemed to disappear for a long stretch tonight.
- I was starting to get really angry at the Suns and Alvin Gentry. With 1:55 left and the score 133-116 and all the starters in, I felt like they were running up the score and trying to shove our noses in it in an attempt to be the first team since 1990 to score 140 points in three straight games. Shortly thereafter however, he did bring in Lopez and Dudley and Dragic. Barbosa still hit the magic number.
- The pace was breakneck of course at 104 possessions; one of our fastest games of the year.
- Despite the Suns running all the time, and the Thunder running selectively, we still had our chances at the rim. We had 117 scoring opportunities (FGA+FTA) and the Suns had 118. This game came down to efficiency. Well, all games do really.
- We dominated the boards (47-40), especially the O-rebs (19-10).
- We shot ourselves in the foot with turnovers and getting picked. We had 23 turns and got picked 14 times.
- Our offensive efficiency was 113.5. Theirs was 134.6.
- Shake it off and get ready for another speedy game tomorrow night in Golden State.

OFFSEASON? Not for Joe Jordan. Spring training is approaching and he's had to do some cramming.
Jordan is the Phillies' new director of player development. He got the job in October after his predecessor, Chuck LaMar, abruptly resigned in September. Since then, offseason life has mostly been traveling and fact-finding.
"With a lot of the [players], I'm relying on what I've been told," the affable Jordan said recently. "But I was also familiar with many of them, because they were players that we also scouted."
He's referring to his days as director of amateur scouting with Baltimore, a post he'd held the previous seven seasons (2005-11). He's also been a minor league scout and executive with the Montreal Expos and Florida Marlins.

The Hatters posted a team score of 294 for the round on the par 72 course which covered 7,149 yards. Lipscomb shot a 314.
"It was a great score in very cold conditions," Hatters coach Bob Weickel said. "I am encouraged by the teams' play as tournament season approaches."
The Hatters were led by senior Sam Ryder, who played a consistent round. He went out in 35 and played the back nine at even par 36 to finish with a one-under par 71. He was the only player for either team to break par.
Freshman Matt Taylor and sophomore Tyler White also played well. Both players finished with two-over par scores of 74. Taylor's round included a back nine score of 35.
Senior Micah Jacobsen rounded out the counters for Stetson, posting a three-over score of 75, while senior Andrew Schiano carded a 79.
The rest of the Stetson team played as individuals. Sophomore John Michael Boyle finished at nine-over par with an 81. Sophomore Ed Waller had an 82 and freshman Blake Snellings finished with an 85.
Lipscomb was led by Blanton Farmer, who finished at two-over par 74. The other Bison included Ryan Terry (79), Dustin Wilder (80), Paul Klein-Kracht (81) and Taylor Combs (83).
Stetson will open tournament play on Monday, February 27, in the Charleston Shootout in Charleston, SC. That event will be co-hosted by the College of Charleston and Charleston Southern University.

LOCKPORT – A married father of three daughters admitted Tuesday in Niagara County Court that he burglarized his in-laws' home and robbed a man in a car, climaxing five years of addiction to painkillers.
"It's time to change for my family," Thomas V. Fusco said as he pleaded guilty to two felonies and was admitted to the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment by County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III.
Fusco, 30, of Garden Street, Lockport, pleaded guilty to third-degree burglary and attempted third-degree robbery. If he fails in diversion, he could be sentenced to as long as 11 years in prison. But if treatment is successful, the charges will be reduced to a misdemeanor with a probation sentence.
Fusco stole $3,000 in cash and did about $800 in damage to a home on Parkwood Lane in the Town of Lockport between Oct. 4 and 8. He must pay $3,800 in restitution to his in-laws.
He also robbed a Lockport man of cash after he and two others picked up the man in a car on Wheatfield-Pendleton Town Line Road near Mapleton Road in the night of Oct. 24.

Three students at Concordia University are accused of sexual assault, according to school officials.
The University released a statement Tuesday saying the school is cooperating with Milwaukee Police regarding an incident that reportedly took place Friday night off-campus in downtown Milwaukee involving three male students.
Milwaukee police said none of the three has been arrested, and the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office said it had not received any referral of charges.
Concordia officials said the university has started its own investigation into the incident, in addition to MPD's investigation.

In likely the first-ever meeting between two 5-0 Foothill League boys soccer teams, Canyon, thanks to a second-half goal by Mohammed Roknipour, defeated Valencia 1-0 Monday night at Canyon High.
"It doesn't get any better than that," said Canyon head coach Khris Savage. "Two defensive coaches looking for a 1-0 game. It's what we expected."
But that goal was practically a flare compared to the early fireworks.
In the game's 27th minute, Valencia's Renato Sanchez got tangled up with Canyon's David Castaneda, both battling for the ball.
After the ball squeezed loose from them, Castaneda got in Sanchez's face and headbutted him.
Sanchez collapsed to the ground.
Neither referee saw it.
Valencia head coach Tony Scalercio did, claiming that his player was punched.
Play continued, but Scalercio ran to his player's aid on the others side of the field.
The coach pleaded with the referees to do something about it, yet they didn't, saying they didn't see what had happened.
A seven-minute delay ensued.
"I don't think that affected the game that much, but it's unfortunate when you have physical violence in a sporting event," Scalercio said. "Canyon's a great team. They didn't need to do that."
Savage said he didn't see the play.
The game's physicality calmed down.
Canyon's pace didn't.
The Cowboys (14-2-1, 6-0-0) controlled the game on the offensive side, yet both sides couldn't manage any scoring in the first half.
Canyon had the best opportunity.
Valencia was whistled for a hand ball in the 12th minute, giving the Cowboys a penalty kick.
Roknipour took it but rolled it left, past the net.
"I've had coaches throughout my career who have told me, 'Forget it,'" Roknipour said. "I let it go and kept doing my job."
His reward came in the 52nd minute.
Roknipour received a pass 15 yards from the net.
He tapped it into the right side of the net, past a diving Alex McIntyre for a 1-0 Canyon lead.
It would hold up.
Yet Valencia (8-5-2, 5-1-0) had its chances.
Viking Chase Irwin received a pass in traffic inside the goal box in the game's 75th minute, but he rushed the shot, kicking it with his thigh over the net.
"I am more proud of them the way they played today than all the five (wins) put together," Scalercio said.
Valencia has been using confidence as its fuel during the first half of league play, each win building more.
Canyon has been using talent and size.
That combination helped the Cowboys overcome the Vikings Monday.
But Roknipour credited something else.
"Our defense — they are the factor," he said. "Vinny (Vincent Donato), Erick (Corona), Carlos (Barragan), Jose (Chavarria) and Andrew (Wilson)."
This game was originally scheduled for Jan. 22, but was postponed due to rain.
The rematch is Feb. 9 at Valencia High.

Sept 15th PPV Date, who blinks first?
First off, I just wanna say that im excited as hell to see both of these fights. (Canelo vs Ortiz & JCC Jr. vs Martinez) Its nice to see we are finally getting some good ass fights with the disappointment we have had other then a few fights this year. But I will be tremendously pissed off if both of these fights are on PPV on the same night. This GBP and TR feud is ridiculous and quite honestly, its hurting our sport. So who moves off of the date? I think its going to be GBP just because "Old man river" only cares about lining his pockets and could give two less sh1ts about our sport.

The mayor of Verdun is reported saying he knew for a while that some homes would be expropriated due to the construction of the new Champlain bridge.
According to La Presse, Jean-François Parenteau says he'll meet residents on May street affected by construction.
16 Verdun homes will have to come down.
South shore MP Hoang Mai says officials said a year ago that no homes would be touched.
"We first asked the question to Transport Canada whether or not there were gonna be evictions more than ayear ago when they were holding public meeting, going out there to give more information and we know right now there is a problem in terms of transparency", added Mai.
Seems homeowners were only told Wednesday about the government's exproipriation plans.
The homes are being expriopriated to make way for a wider autoroute 15 between the new span and the Atwater exit toward downtown.

...is the name of the show, I have seen it before on Dish but don't remember what channel. Kind of a mythbusters rip-off I think but they have a different type of debunking.
Cell phone lights gas, they say no but there are ways to do it. BOOM, blew up an old camper with probably 20 gallons of gas soaked into everything.(along with some other explosive not shown or named:evil: )
They also tend to be very lax on safety concerns as shown in your video.

I taught Industrial Arts way back when and I taught a JrHigh Technology ed. course and we talked about rockets and other things dealing with how science and math are used in industry and we had a model rocket building time, I taught my students that you can glue all of your fins on in a short time if you use a microwave. Microwaves are often used in industry to dry or set up glue. I showed them that you would put a good bead of glue on the body of the rocket and stickthe fin in it and line it up real nice and stick it in the Micro wave and nuke it for 10sec and the glue would be dry but not quite set. Once the glue cools it is just about done it should set for about a day to really setup, but a person can glue 3 or 4 fins on in about 10 minutes. WELL, We had finished and on the day of flight, one of my illustrious students was all ready to go, engine in and he brushed against another student and busted a fin off. SOOO, he grabs the glue and heads off to the microwave stand and glues up the fin, and stuffs it in the Microwave and presses the button for the requisite 10 seconds and after about 1 the engine ignited and shoved the nosecone up into a corner as it tries to burn a hole in the side of the unit. Of course we all know what comes after the propellent charge, but the smoke and then wait for it, the ejection charge, pop and it all blow out into the microwave. My illustrious student, desireing to save his lovely rocket, decides to open the microwave instead of taking the whole enchilada outside like Mr Williams is suggesting, very LOUDLY by the way. This releases all the smoke out into the classroom instead of leaking sloowly like it was at first. I was saved a trip to the school by our local volunteer Fire Dept, because this was not the only time smoke had come out of my classroom or a classroom I had been in, and the teachers and students knew enough to check if I had everything properly under control.

The show is called Brainiac: Science Abuse. Abuse. They're not pretending to anything scientific. :D
June 19, 2006, 12:33 PM
Brainiac: Science Abuse is a UK show on Sky 1. They do various things that are stupid, usually involving the destruction of caravans.
I think this bit came from "things not to put in your microwave". They've also done champagne bottles and soap.
The best part it the "instruction manual" thing. There's lots of things that you're told not to do with appliances, so they do things not in the "don't so this" part of the manual. Things like solvents in kettles, dynamite in a toaster, that kind of stuff.
There's some funny stuff, and it's not really serious. I think they were the ones that did the Gunpowder Plot thing last year.
June 19, 2006, 03:17 PM
braniac is a fantastic program, its on in england on sky one. its a laugh to watch and its all mindless destruction. :cuss: :what:

Didn't one of Lawdog's blog posts say he and brother discovered it was OK to cook gunpowder, but not OK to use your mother's coffee grinder to reduce the brick to powder?
I only had half an hour to search his blog-site to find that post, but got side-tracked on some of the others. Go find it yourself, OK?

Adam Schfter of NFL.com reports that at least two teams want to trade for Cory Redding.
April 24, NFL.com: Within the past 10 days, the San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns have made overtures to the Lions to see what it would take to sign Redding, who has been absent from Detroit's minicamps.
However, the Lions maintain that Redding is untradeable -- the same term one GM used to describe Johnson. But it's not going to dissuade other teams from continuing to try.
As the draft creeps closer, the Lions could find themselves fielding more phone calls about the player who is unhappy about having the $6.2 million franchise tag slapped on him.

The National Weather Service said it will check out a report that a tornado touched down around 7:30 p.m. Saturday night near Camden in Oneida County.
Oneida County sheriff's deputies are not aware of any injuries due to high winds, but a dispatcher said they received a call about winds damaging a barn on Route 13 north of Camden.
The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for parts of Madison and Oneida counties at 8:42 p.m. based on a weather spotter's observation, but ended it at 9:15 p.m.
"Looking at three radars, we didn't see any significant storms that would have been indicative of any tornado-producing storms," said Mitch Gilt, a weather service technician.

Hello, I appreciate your writing. A decently toned leg muscle will pump out a great deal more blood than a powerless muscle as you walk or move - and the more venous blood you move out of the leg, the less risk the vein needs to grow and reason valve harm. Good luck!

Rich Miller knew exactly who he wanted as his assistant coach when he accepted the head coaching job for the Mansfield University basketball program seven years ago.
The 1993 Lower Dauphin grad didn't hesitate, and really, he didn't have to look very far.
"We were together when he got the call that offered him the job," said Miller's dad, Rich Miller Sr. "He turned to me right away and said 'I want you as my assistant.'"
Now, this is no normal family patronage deal we're talking about here. Rich Miller Sr. was a high school coach for more than 20 years, with stops at both Mansfield High and Lower Dauphin.
His 1969 Mansfield team won a state championship, led by future NBA star Tom McMillen, still considered by many as one of the best high school players in Pennsylvania history.
Along with lead assistant Jason Mattern, Miller Jr's first recruit when he was a Mansfield assistant under previous coach Vince Alexander, the group has been together longer than most small college staffs.
"Certainly (my dad) has a lot of experience," Miller Jr. said. "We've been fortunate. I would have liked to have won a few more games this year but if we can keep this group together we'll be in good shape."
Yes, things haven't been so smooth on the court at Mansfield this year. Coming off a year where the Mounties made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1997, bagging Miller Coach of the Year honors in the PSAC East, this season's squad is a young one.
With an overall record of 9-16 they'll finish up a rebuilding year Saturday against West Chester. A bright spot came two weeks ago in a 79-57 win over Cheyney, the 100th of Miller's career.
"I love it," said Miller of coaching. "Well, 90% of the time. Being away from your family can be difficult but I've been fortunate to always have a great group of players.
"Because we're in a small town and a small university we get to be close to our players."
Speaking of being away from family, Miller Sr, technically a volunteer assistant, still lives in the Harrisburg area. During the season he spends most of the week in Miller Jr.'s finished basement ("He's got a 52' TV and a fully stocked bar," said Miller Jr. with a laugh), and then, as he says, comes home to do wife Gloria's honey-do list Sundays.
"Gloria is great about allowing me to do this," said Miller Sr., who recently turned 70. "I actually love it up here. I grew up here, taught and coached here, and a lot of my friends are still here although a little older."
"One of the things I dislike are the bus rides to the away games, but you put up with that."
Although Miller Jr. didn't get to play for his dad at Lower Dauphin (Miller Sr. stepped down as coach in 1988), his name is still prominent in the Falcon record book. All you have to do is look up at the list of the school's all-time leading scorers that hangs in the LD gym.
His 1,774 points rank second in school history and his junior and senior years he helped guide the Falcons to PIAA tournament berths.
And he learned a thing or two about the game along the way.
Said Miller Sr., "I give my views on situations but we never argue on the court or in front of players. Rich is the boss."
