iCIMS' Exponential Growth Recognized by 2013 Best in Biz Awards
- Members of the press and industry analysts recognize leading SaaS provider as one of the Fastest-Growing North American Companies of the Year -
MATAWAN, N.J. (December 30, 2013) – iCIMS, Inc., a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) talent acquisition software solutions for growing businesses, is proud to announce an explosive year of growth fueled by industry-leading customer retention rates, the acquisition of Jobmagic, the launch of a reseller partnership with Canadian-based Workopolis, and strong continuous direct sales of the company's expanded product offerings. In recognition of these achievements, iCIMS recently won the Fastest-Growing Company of the Year from Best in Biz Awards 2013.
After beating its bronze win in the 2012 Best in Biz award program, iCIMS added a silver trophy for the 2013 Fastest-Growing Company of the Year - Medium. Between 2011 and 2013 alone, iCIMS experienced a revenue increase of more than 86 percent and nearly doubled employee headcount. To accommodate this growth, iCIMS recently expanded its corporate headquarters to feature a custom-designed technology center that houses more than 40 members of the company's Research & Development (R&D) and Information Technology (IT) departments. The company has also been recognized as one of the fastest-growing businesses in North America by Inc. 500 II 5,000 andNJBIZ's 50 Fastest Growing Companies.
As the technology teams grow, customers can anticipate the release of more innovative products and features to their talent acquisition suite. In November, iCIMS introduced Video Cover Letter, the newest addition to the company's recruitment software. Video Cover Letter enables candidates to submit short videos along with their traditional resume or employment application. The video footage can be recorded via smartphone, tablet, or desktop-mounted webcam with simple-to-use technology that is integrated with the iCIMS Talent Platform. The solution drastically reduces the administrative burden associated with phone screening by hiring managers and recruiters.
"We are honored to be recognized nationally for our exponential growth throughout the recent years," said iCIMS CEO, Colin Day. "HR software is a fast-paced technology category particularly as trends such as social, mobile, and video develop in the candidate landscape. Our success is attributed to our ability to create best-to-market tools that help customers leverage these transformative technologies in their quest for top talent."
The third annual Best in Biz Awards program, focusing on companies based or operating in North America, was the most competitive in its history, with the highest number of awards submissions to date and the most distinguished judging panel yet assembled. More than 500 entries were received this year, from a wide array of public and private companies of all sizes and from a variety of industries and geographic regions in the U.S. and Canada.
Best in Biz Awards 2013 honors were presented in more than 50 categories, including Company of the Year, Fastest-Growing Company of the Year, Most Innovative Company of the Year, Best Place to Work, Technology Department of the Year, Executive of the Year, Most Innovative Product of the Year, Best New Product of the Year, PR Campaign of the Year and Website of the Year. Winners of Best in Biz Awards 2013 were determined by an independent panel of 50 judges from top-tier news, business and technology publications, as well as broadcast outlets and analyst firms, such as Bloomberg Businessweek, Computerworld, Crain's New York Business, Inc. Magazine, Small Business Digest, and USA Today.

Georgia State Dropping $10K at Game
October 5th, 2012| by Lost Lettermen
The Georgia State athletic department has come up with possibly the most genius idea to draw fans to watch an 0-5 football team: A $10,000 cash drop.
You see, the FCS Panthers are facing New Hampshire on Saturday at the Georgia Dome and need all the support they can get. So the university has partnered with Georgia's Own Credit Union to drop $10,000 in cash from the rafters onto the field, where the students will be waiting and mayhem will undoubtedly ensue.
Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples checked with John Infante of the Bylaw Blog to see if players from both teams could participate in the cash drop. The answer? Yes. "Infante wrote that since the cash drop is open to any student, then it would not qualify as an extra benefit for a Georgia State athlete."
We can only imagine how this will turn out if gigantic football players in pads start leveling students to get as much cash as they can.
This reminds us of the scene in the original Batman in which The Joker throws himself a parade and showers the crowd with money. Let's hope this turns out better than that.

Personally, I"m a fan of Teddy Atlas and Manny Steward. I actually finished reading Teddy Atlases autobiography and it was ****ing awesome. That dude does not **** around with his fighters but is very loyal and knows how to talk to the guys to get them to listen. That guy had an interesting life too. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates boxing.
Manny Steward, from the short time I've been following boxing, seems to turn every fighter he touches into gold. Whatever it is he's doing, he's doing it right. With the exception of Jermaine Taylor, he has had a pretty consistant winning streak, way more than I can say about Freddie Roach.

Some of the great ones I can quickly remember:
Ray Arcel. Produced and/or worked with some 20 champions, among them, Ezzard Charles, Larry Holmes, Barney Ross, Tony Zale, Ceferino Garcia, Billy Soose, Tony Marino, Sixto Escobar...
Jack Blackburn. Trainer of Joe Louis, Sammy Mandel, Bud Taylor and, for a while, Jersey Joe Walcott...Louis gave all the credit to Blackburn for what he accomplished. They called each other, "Chappie".
Whitey Bimstein. Spent some fifty years of his life training such fighters as Harry Greb, Benny Leonard, Gene Tunney, Carlos Ortiz, Lou Ambers, Kid Kaplan, Fred Apostoli, Rocky Graciano, Bobo Olson... He was in the corner of JJBraddock when the "Cinderella Man" upset Max Baer. He partnered with Ray Arcel before WWII, then with Freddie Brown after the war. He was among the sport's great motivators. He pleaded, cajoled, sternly warned....He did whatever it took. He was not above slapping his fighter or pricking a needle into a fighter's backside, to achieve his purpose.
Angelo Dundee. He not only ranks as among the game's foremost motivators in the corner but is reputed to be among the sport's great innovators. He is widely acclaimed as a quick thinker. Had Ali, Leonard, Carmen Basilio, Jimmy Ellis, Willie Pastrano, Sugar Ramos...People remember his "You're blowing it, son" speech in Leonard's corner during the Leonard-Hearns welterweight unification match. Dundee was also in the corner of Foreman when Big George stopped Moorer.
Eddie Futch. Arcel's partner in training Holmes for the Cooney fight. He also worked with Joe Frazier, Bob Foster, Ken Norton, Michael Spinks, Arguello, RBowe, Virgil Hill, Wayne McCullough...
Georgie Benton. Learned his craft under Futch. Handled such fighters as Frazier, Leon Spinks (in particular, in that upset over Ali), MMcCallum, PWhitaker, Meldrick Taylor, Johnny Bumphus, Rocky Lockridge...
Mickey Duff. Worked in various capacities as promoter, manager, cornerman, etc. Involved in the careers of no less than a dozen champions such as Jim Watt, Minter, Conteh, Boza Edwards, Mugabi....

Funny, because Sharks fans badly want him out the door. As would you, for that matter, were you forced to put up with his bonehead penalties, his lack of defensive acumen, and his inconsistency in production. The only thing consistent about his game is his lack of discipline.
He had 21 penalties last season. That isn't any more than Hudler, Franzen, Ericsson or Holmstrom. And way less than doofus Bertuzzi.
That said, he always seems to play well when watch him play us. He seems to have had a down year, but a change of scenery might help and he provides grit we need. He's a legit power forward. Maybe he'd motivate Franzen.

Shine On
When interior designers discuss paint trends, the topic usually sticks to colors -- which tones are hot, which are "so last year." Nowadays, though, the finish or gloss of paint is just as important as the specific shades.
"About three or four years ago I started noticing glossy paint on furniture as a way to give traditional styles a more contemporary feel, like a classic wooden chair painted in a high-gloss bright color," said Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams, a major paint company. "But then the glossy paint moved from furniture to walls and ceilings, which is what we're seeing a lot of now."
The glossy-wall look isn't stuck to one color family -- it's happening in both brights and darks. "We are seeing people experimenting with bold and vibrant colors, covering a wall in lively greens and purples, for example," said Carl Minchew, director of product development at Benjamin Moore, another large paint company.
"People seem to be drawn to the novelty of it: You don't typically see walls in shiny purples or greens, so it is a little surprising and delightful, which people enjoy," Minchew added.
In addition to bright colors, Minchew said that dark colors are popular because they really show off the gloss the most. "Think about a car lot with cars in all kinds of colors," Minchew said. "A black car often looks a lot shinier than a white one, even if they have the same finish. In your home, a darker or jewel-like color pops more because the shiny highlights have more of a contrast."
As for which rooms are going high-gloss, it tends to be ones you don't use every day. "I'm seeing high-gloss paint in special occasion rooms that have a bit of glamour, like formal dining rooms," Jordan said. "The high-gloss paint creates drama and makes the room stand out."
Jordan also said that if you put the high-gloss paint in a room that's often used at night, the lights and candles will make the gloss sparkle.
But before you rush out and buy glossy paint for your walls, know that there are some cons. "The downside to going with a glossy paint is that the finish highlights every single small imperfection," Minchew warned. "If you have a wall with nail heads or a surface that wasn't smooth before painting, the glossy paint will make the flaws that much more evident."
Glossy walls might also be an occasion to hire professional painters, because the paint is "not very forgiving if you have a sloppy painting technique. When people don't use the proper brushes or rollers for the paint and the surface, the end result won't look very good," Minchew said.
Once you have beautiful, high-gloss paint on your walls, decorate the room with care and restraint. "Stick to decorations that are simple and minimal," said Maria Killam, a decorator and stylist based in Canada who is also a member of the color trend organization Colour Marketing Group. "You don't want to have your art or accessories competing with the very shiny walls for attention -- let the paint be the big feature in the room."
That doesn't mean the room d�cor should be boring, though. One way to perk up the look of a glossy wall without artwork is to add architectural details. "The high gloss accentuates any interesting features like molding and quarter-round," Minchew said. "This can help the look if you have just a plain flat wall, which may not show off the shininess of the gloss that well."
As for what style of furniture will complete the look, Jordan adds pieces that have a bit of their own shine. "Bring in mirrors, shiny metallic and sconces that both sparkle as well as accent the reflective quality of the wall finish," she said.

I don't think Edmonton is all that cheap, they just can't get the players to spend money on. Darryl Katz certainly has the pockets to spend what he wants, just that they can't get the players.
Quebec City's metro population ( 715,515 or 725,000 depending on your source) has about 300,000 less people than Edmonton (the current smallest NHL market).
How much smaller/cheaper than Edmonton (a Canadian team) can we make it and have it still work? and why would the NHL want to?
And that's a certainly a concern for Quebec City. While Montreal is a city you can get by in without speaking French, you can't in Quebec City. It isn't anywhere close to as bilingual as Montreal. Although, European players may like it there, the language barrier could be a problem in terms of recruiting Anglophone players.

True voices
July 25, 2013 - Harry Eagar
Today's Washington Post has two stories that ought to be read together: one about immigrants, and one about voter fraud. What connects them is the question: Just how racist is the Republican Party?
Note that one story is about leaders (very few in number) trying to distance themselves from one of the party's (take your pick) more honest or less cautious spokesmen. "Hateful" sounds pretty definite, and normally if a politician labels something hateful, I'd say it's sin to him and he's agin it.
These are not normal times in the GOP, though. Jacob Javits is dead and all the Republicans like him. So it is reasonable to wonder whether the nice-sounding GOP leaders will follow through with legislation that demonstrates they really do find Representative King's views "hateful."
RtO will withhold a decision about that till later.
On the other issue, the verdict is in. The rightwing assault on voting rights is pure racism, and everybody knows it.

Hey dude, again you just make up facts which you have no real knowledge about. Read the U.S. Patriot Act, there are some exemptions, but they are temporary. Going to the Bay of Biscay for ten days- some tasty waves and even better ceviche. Can I bring back a t shirt as a gift?
Jul-27-13 11:24 PM
Hey dude, please enlighten me how one levitates the world as you claim without an id. I bet my last beer and fish taco that you can't and will not. Did you forget about Fed Court requirements on ids or HIPPA record requests? Skip a rope dude.
Jul-27-13 11:18 PM
Hey doppess you just can't help yourself.
Tsk on .
Jul-27-13 5:19 PM
Yes, the cost of check-cashing is high. Another way the rich exploit the poor.
The pawn shop where I work requires photo ID, but that is not a legal requirement in Hawaii or most other places. Many pawn shops do not require photo ID.
I myself do not fly commercial without ID, but you can if you want.
There are ways to get SSI payments, again expensive and exploitative. It is not certain how long these exceptions are going to continue to be allowed.
John, you should thank whoever it is you thank that you do not know about these things.
Jul-27-13 4:54 PM
Hey dude, at what cost must these people pay to cash a check. I bet that these services are not cheap. How are social security payments handled when payments are made by direct deposit? You are always quick to burp out facts(?), but when asked for more detail you can only cherry pick those that you have any real knowledge or want to answer.
I am still curious about how a pawn shop pays out without an I'd.
Dude you need more explaining, you do not want to be branded the Rush of the left!
Finally, Dude do you board commercials flights without an id ?
Jul-27-13 2:17 PM
'More than 2.3 million households in the Tenth Federal Reserve District - and 30 million nationally - rely on non-banks to meet all or some of their basic financial needs. To better understand this population, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City conducted a qualitative research project involving dozens of unbanked and underbanked individuals.'
My practice is not to reference facts that are generally known. It' Restating the Obvious, not Restating the Obscure.
Where to people without banks cash checks? At check cashing businesses. They are all over the poorer districts.
As I observed to a rightwing friend of mine who posted one of those obnoxious screeds on 'taking personal responsibility,' I do not believe a TPer would last 15 minutes if he lost his privileges and had to live in the real world.
Jul-27-13 9:13 AM
Hey dude, where are those sources? You are not entitled to make up your own facts and figures, not good journalism.
And by the way how do the oppressed masses that do not have an id cash a check? One in four is the number you burped out. Kind of interesting how that large swath of our population gets by without the legal ability to get cash for daily living.
Party on shadow finace dude.
Jul-26-13 5:24 PM
Hey dude you are hearing voices again, you need to chill out before you pop one of your occluded arteries.
Please enlighten us how you can get through security and board a commercial aircraft without an id. How do you pawn that ring, how do you get into a Federal Court, how do get copies of your medical records....? The convenient truth is that you only argue when you want to argue, and then you forget to answer all of the questions posed.Oh, by the way how does one get those Federal and State benefits without a bank account. Do cite the source where over 25% of the population do not have a bank account, and thus they do not get those benefits. I believe that you chose to spew out stats, but you never quote the sources, again how convenient.
Dude, you can not make up the facts when you have no hand. Playing poker with you would be a cakewalk because you overplay you hand with nothing but bluff. You are not a Cool Hand Luke, but a wanna be. So cite your sources Dude.
Jul-26-13 3:19 PM
Please follow links before reacting.
You can take a plane without an ID. Everybody knows that.
And, yes, about 1 in 4 Americans do not have a bank account.
The rightwingers have had years to demonstrate ID voter fraud and have spent big money to try to do it. So far they haven't.
So, question for you: If there isn't a problem, what is their motive for flogging this falsehood?
Jul-25-13 9:55 PM
Hey dude, you spent to much time in the sun again, at least cover that shiny dome. Why did you blow out your squeaker in this latest round of pure stupidity, and yes your hatred?
Simply your standard is anyone who disagrees with you is a hater,racist, or whatever you burp out.
Please tell us how one enters a Federal Court Building, opens a bank account because you can only receive your SS or other benefits through direct deposit, or takes a plane without an id. Gee, you even need an id to pawn a ring to meet rent! Yet our right to vote is only precious to those who do so often and without controls. You still don't have one original thought in your gefilte brain unless it's from your fellow gnats that are so quick to yell racism only to cover their own behinds, because god forbid your politicos would ever want to be accountable to any voting oversight . Better to spew names at the right to obfuscate the issues that need to be brought to light.
Party on hater.

Axion Cali Tour: Day 14&15Posted by Manny | Hype | No Comments
Saturday started in St Helena with this dope plaza, rain cut the skating short. We through a best trick down the stairs and rail in the rain, Thanks to everyone at Board Garden!
Homie came up on some Diamond Bearings for a front smith 180 on the long rail.
It's always nice to get the kids hyped, but when you make there day it's an amazing feeling. I skated these Mandelas for like 20 min then hooked him up.
When best tricks go down people break boards, I had to hook him up with the board because not only did he break his nose on a nollie hard flip down the set but he ran back up and broke his tail on the next try as he skated away.
Sunday was our last stop, Hanford was probably my favorite. Didnt get alot of pics because I was skating all day, it was so much fun. Luckily Spanish Mike took this pic of everyone. Thanks FRC and kevin for making this a good day.
All the skaters showed us around, so dope! Felt like a stop on the "Hot Chocolate" tour haha.
Sweet, Literally. Axion Heritage drop in July, look out for this FUEGO.

This technique looks so tempting to try, but I am just wondering whether you use fresh eggs or powdered egg white in your recipe. That would make a difference to me.

I always use fresh whites, but powdered work also. They just require more prep time. Enjoy!

ORANGEBURG -- The president of S.C. State University and a legal adviser refused to provide any details on the firing of top administrators or an investigation being conducted at the university.
After a four-hour closed-door session with the university's Board of Trustees on Thursday, George Cooper and attorney Reggie Lloyd, the former chief of the State Law Enforcement Division, said they would not comment on an internal investigation until after it was complete.
Both declined to answer questions about whether the school was involved in a state or federal investigation.
The university in December hired Lloyd to offer guidance and support on various legal issues. But school leaders refused to specify which issues Lloyd would handle.
Lloyd, who is also a former U.S. attorney, on Thursday simply encouraged members of the media to "be patient" and wait for details.
Cooper said, "It's inappropriate to provide details" until the investigation is complete.
Board Vice Chairman John Corbitt presided over the meeting. He refused to provide any detail on why the board was meeting behind closed doors, stating simply that it was for personnel and legal issues.
Bill Rogers, executive director of the S.C. Press Association, said public bodies are required by law to state specifically why they are meeting outside the public eye. General explanations such as personnel or legal matters are not sufficient.
What the board did "was clearly a violation of the law," Rogers said.
"The sad part is they are destroying the public's confidence in their ability to govern by doing so in secret."

When I was 18 years old I went camping in the snow and, through a combination of bad decisions and worse luck, contracted hypothermia. After a long midnight hike of which I have no memory, and a few days of resting under piles of blankets, I recovered with no ill effects. It's not much of a story, really, the way I tell it, and it doesn't come up often.
I am a newly graduated dentist and an aspiring public health practitioner. At a recent conference for student-run free clinics, I was surprised to run into an adored college friend. A fellow outing club member, he too had been on that ill-fated trip. Now, seven years hence, we smiled at each other in the Tennessee sunshine and compared stories from our respective clinics, the stress and joy of being an almost-doctor.

Australia's Unintended Cities
The Impact of Housing on Urban Development
Line Art
208 pages, 245 x 170 mm
CSIRO Publishing
Australia's Unintended Cities identifies and researches housing and housing-related urban outcomes that are unintended consequences of other policies, the structure of incentives and disincentives for the housing market, and governance arrangements for metropolitan areas and planning and service delivery. It is argued that unintended consequences have a greater impact on the housing market and Australia's cities and their future than policies directly concerned with housing, urban policy and metropolitan strategic planning.
The book will inform policy makers, including government officials, consultants and politicians. It will also be used by academics and students in various areas of urban policy, such as housing and urban planning, as well as environment, public policy and economics.
View the full table of contents.
"It is a timely and important work that needs to be read and absorbed by everyone involved in planning in Australia. It is essential reading for politicians, policymakers, planners, scholars and anyone interested in uncovering and really coming to grips with Australia's most intractable urban problems."
Kate Shaw, Urban Policy and Research, 24 July 2013
"Australia's Unintended Cities brings a fresh perspective to housing and the city."
Philip Graus, Australian Planner, March 2014

12:00 pm Conference Registration
1:25 Chairperson's Opening Remarks
Hartmut Koeppen, M.D., Ph.D., Staff Pathologist, Genentech
» 1:30 Keynote Presentation: Pathology Contributions to Pharma R&D: Enabling Key Intersections between Scientific Discovery and Tissue Diagnostics
John Lowe, M.D., Senior Director of Pathology, Genentech
Physicians increasing depend on biomarkers to prospectively treat patients with specific therapeutics most likely to yield a response. An overview will be presented of how pathologists, and the infrastructure they manage, contribute to the development of tissue-based biomarkers by integrating scientific efforts in early drug discovery with the design and execution of clinical trials where new drug candidates are tested.
2:00 Characterization and Clinical Validation of an Immunohistochemical Assay for MET in NSCLC
We developed and validated an immunohistochemical assay to detect MET in paraffin-embedded tissue sections. This assay was used to analyze a phase II clinical trial evaluating onartuzumab, a one-armed anti-Met antibody, plus erlotinib vs erlotinib alone in advanced NSCLC patients. Scoring criteria for MET expression were pre-specified prior to unblinding of clinical data. A statistically significant benefit in progression-free (Hazard ratio=0.53, 95% CI=0.28-0.99, p=0.04) and overall (Hazard ratio=0.37, 95% CI=0.19-0.72, p=0.002) survival was observed for patients with Met-positive tumors treated with onartuzumab.
2:30 Chasing the Holy Grail - Towards Pathway Analysis of Circulating Tumor Cells
Arndt Schmitz, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Global Biomarker Research, Bayer Pharma AG
Circulating tumor cells (CTC) promise to enable less invasive and longitudinal determination of the current status of the systemic disease. Biomarker research on CTC requires compliant access to relevant, high quality clinical specimens. Currently, 2nd generation CTC isolation techniques with increased yield and purity are emerging. Bayer is working with Prometheus to use their CEER chip technology for functional pathway analysis in tumor tissues. This presentation will provide an update regarding our ongoing efforts to combine these two approaches into a powerful tool for personalized medicine.
3:00 Integrating Data Mining with Image Analysis to Accelerate Tissue-based Biomarker ResearchAlan Jerusalmi, Ph.D., Senior Consultant, Definiens, Inc.In many applications Definiens image analysis has proven to deliver unsurpassed detection of target structures in histology resulting in detailed cell-by-cell readouts of morphology and molecular expression profiles. Tightly integrating data mining with image analysis and maintaining the linkage between data points and target structures in digital slides allows to significantly accelerate the development and the validation of biomarkers, opens up completely new research approaches, supports new assay types and can be used for predictive modeling. The talk will give an overview about workflows, technology and use cases.
3:30 Refreshment Break with Exhibit & Poster Viewing
4:00 Nuclear Heat-Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) as a Predictor of Poor Prognosis in Breast Cancer.
Tan A. Ince, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Pathology; Director, Tumor Stem Cell Division; Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
We found that HSF1 is associated with reduced breast cancer survival. The findings indicate that HSF1 should be evaluated prospectively as an independent prognostic indicator in ER-positive breast cancer. HSF1 may ultimately be a useful therapeutic target in cancer.
4:30 mTOR Pathway in Urologic Malignancies: A Therapeutic Target and a Potential Progonsticator
George Netto, M.D., Associate Professor,Pathology, Urology and Oncology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
The role of mTOR pathway members in solid tumors development has come into focus. Urologic malignancies including prostate, bladder and renal carcinomas account for approximately one third of human malignancies. A promising prognostic role for some of the pathway members such as PTEN has been proposed in prostate cancer and potentially bladder cancer. The pathway is now successfully used as a target of therapy in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and being evaluated in other urologic malignancies.

Trolley takes test run in BentonvilleUPDATED 8:35 AM CDT Jul 29, 2014
40/29's Kelly Johnson shows you a new ride, that could become a permanent part of town.Video Transcript
A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE GOT TO SEE AND RIDE ON A TROLLEY IN BENTONVILLE LAST WEEK. BUT IF YOU MISSED IT, YOU COULD BE IN LUCK. 40/29'S KELLY JOHNSON FOUND OUT, IT COULD BECOME A PERMANENT PART OF TOWN. THIS STORY IS NEW TONIGHT. "picture snapping sound" Here it is folks-- for those of you who didn't see it. On Thursday and Friday Ozark Regional Transit rented this trolley as part of a 2-day "test-run" to see how it would work in the community. And from everything they told me--they were more than impressed with the results." Girl: "A train!" YOU CAN'T BLAME THIS LITTLE GIRL FOR CALLING IT A TRAIN. SHE MAY HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN A TROLLEY BEFORE! IT WOULD BE BENTONVILLE'S FIRST. It was actually a bit of a tourist attraction itself." WE'VE ALSO NEVER HAD A WAY TO GET DIRECTLY TO THE SQUARE OR CRYSTAL BRIDGES BY PUBLIC TRANSIT. It makes Crystal Bridges available to West Fork. It makes Crystal Bridges available to Lincoln. For $1.25 one-way." JEFF HATLEY OF OZARK REGIONAL TRANSIT SHARED THIS PROPOSED ROUTE MAP. THE WAY IT'S DRAWN--NO ONE AT ANY STOP WOULD HAVE TO WAIT MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. INCLUDING--THOSE OF YOU WORKING AT WALMART. To help people get from other parts of Bentonville to the downtown square to eat, to shop, to visit some of the amenities down there, and then back to work within that 1 hour time frame." OZARK REGIONAL TRANSIT WANTS TO PRESENT IT'S IDEAS TO THE BENTONVILLE CITY COUNCIL IN MID- SEPTEMBER. If we get funding for this- the actual route would start after the first of January, 2015." IF APPROVED, IT WOULD BE ORT'S 14TH ROUTE. KELLY JOHNSON, 40/29 NEWS. IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN, WE PUT THE ROUTE MAP WITH STOP TIMES UNDER THE ON TV TAB OF 40/29 TV DOT COM.

Dying now, and with less than two months left, she grasped the pencil with her right hand as best she could, trapping it between a rigid thumb and forefinger.
She stabbed at the pad on her lap, and in the laborious way amyotrophic lateral sclerosis demands of its victims, barely managed to write two questions and hold them up to Lisa Schuel.
"How's Brittany?" she asked of Schuel's daughter. And then of the other, "What's Taiylor doing?"
Pure Marianne. Vintage Marianne.
"I smiled," remembers Schuel, "because I knew that would be the first thing she would try to convey -- something about someone other than herself."
Always giving
Marianne Longo-Casarez was unable to walk or talk that day, but in the only manner left for her to communicate, she did what she did best -- giving on a day when it might have been so much easier for her to take.
Eight weeks later, she was dead of the same degenerative muscular disease sometimes named for baseball great Lou Gehrig, who left New York's Yankee Stadium humbly considering himself "the luckiest man on the face of this Earth."
Given a voice in her final stages of ALS, Longo-Casarez might have uttered similar sentiments, if only for the countless patients she served in her 30-plus years as a registered nurse at Metro Health Hospital.
So beloved was she by administrators, doctors and co-workers that the facility planned to unveil a work of art this afternoon in her honor and hang it in a hallway leading to a surgical unit.
No doubt they all will tell variations on the same theme: That nearly to a fault, she honored others more than herself.
"She always wanted to know everything about you," said Schuel, a nurse manager and one of Longo-Casarez's superiors. "She was always making connections with patients, and keeping it personal."
Added longtime colleague Abbe Hildebrandt, a registered nurse: "She would turn the conversation around so it was about you. Even when she was ill."
Longo-Casarez grew up in Grand Rapids and graduated in 1968 from Catholic Central High School before earning her nursing degree from Ferris State University.
With husband George, she had two boys, now both in their 20s. They've been invited along with Longo-Casarez's mother Julianne, 84, and others to take part in today's ceremony.
'Her hobbies were people'
It will pay tribute not to a donor, nor philanthropist nor someone with traditional power or influence, but a diminutive nurse who worked the trenches.
When it was time to discharge patients and provide them a day's supply of dressings, Longo-Casarez snuck a little extra into their take-home bag.
When patients went home without their meds, Longo-Casarez drove out of her way after work to deliver them to their residence.
"Her hobbies," said fellow registered nurse Candy VanValkenburg, "were people."
After she was diagnosed in 2006, co-worker Linda Gabrielse helped design and then stitched the bulk of a prayer-and-care quilt for their terminally ill friend with handwritten messages from staff. It adorned Longo-Casarez's casket during her funeral Mass in February.
Artist Lori Bearss was commissioned to produce a work of art, and fashioned a mixed-media collage inspired by the quilt. It features bold blues, bright yellows and soothing shades of pink and lavender.
Look close, and you can see repeated words such as faith, hope, charity and love.
On the grounds of the hospital now located in Wyoming, there are plans as well to plant a tree in her memory.
In time, it will boast a growing shadow, but none as large as that which Longo-Casarez cast during more than three decades of selfless service.

There is no doubt that Shelby Rogers is a world-class tennis player after the performance the homegrown 21-year-old put on Tuesday at the Family Circle Cup. She did everything but close out a pair of sets.
Yes, she lost, 7-5, 7-5, to 12th-seeded Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia. Yet Rogers probably gained a new level of respect with her play on Billie Jean King Stadium Court.
Knowing how close she had come to her first Family Circle Cup main draw victory, Rogers fought back tears in the interview room.
"I'm glad I put on a good show for the crowd and I'm glad they were here to see how I've improved . . . to play that well against a good, seasoned player is encouraging," said Rogers, now ranked 109th in the world.
"She knew exactly what to do on the big points . . . she made me feel the pressure and she was hitting really deep, moving well. She stepped up her game when she needed to."
This was a far better showing for Rogers than three years earlier on the same court when she won the first set against veteran Jill Craybas before dropping a 6-0 third set.
Rogers outhit and outplayed Hantuchova to be in position to serve for the first set and then to twice serve for the second set. She dropped the last four games of the first set and last five games of the second set.
For most of the other 15 games, Rogers played spectacular tennis in dominating a 30-year-old opponent who is currently ranked No. 32 and was once ranked as high as fifth in the world. Rogers put on a clinic in those games by nailing forehands and backhands cross-court and down the lines.
Rogers was a true big-time pro, until it came time to serve for the first set at 5-4. She gave the game away with four unforced errors. When she served to stay in the set two games later, she committed four more unforced errors.
Rogers bounced back in the second set and appeared poised to force a third set by charging to a 5-2 lead.
But just as she had done when the first set was on the line, Hantuchova, often labeled a one-dimensional player, changed her game. She went cautious, taking pace off of the ball and moving the ball around the court. And Rogers cooperated, falling prey to over-hitting and being caught out of position.
"I think it's the way you have to play on clay, change it up, mixing it up, not playing one dimensional and use different shots," Hantuchova said.

Sponsordeal Mahjong Logic, EMA
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 07 April 2010 00:59
- Written by Staff
STOCKHOLM - The European Mahjong Association EMA and the internet mahjong server Mahjong Logic have reached an agreement about sponsorship. To celebrate this partnership, two online mahjong tournaments will be held the coming month: an MCR tournament (April 10th) and a riichi tournament (April 17th). These pilot tournaments, however, will not be included in the new EMA MORSE ranking list.
The new partnership replaces the old cooperation with Mahjong Time, the internet mahjong server EMA had a contract with until last year. Not all EMA member countries will join the cooperation with Mahjong Logic. The Russian mahjong federation, for example, has organized a number of online tournaments on the Mahjong Time server.
Furthermore, the German Mahjong League (DMJL) does not participate because of the restrictions in the German legislation concerning gambling on the internet. Mr. Uwe Martens, president of DMJL, comments that, according to German law, Mahjong Logic is considered a gambling platform. "That's why DMJL cannot support the new cooperation between EMA and Mahjong Logic", says Uwe Martens.
According to Mr. Robert Rijnders, current EMA-president, Mahjong Logic wants to be a sponsor of major tournaments. "For the WMC to be held in the Netherlands later this year, Mahjong Logic has expressed its interest and willingness to become a main sponsor for that event."
Jonas Alm, CEO of Mahjong Logic, confirms there is an agreement about sponsoring the world championship. "Also, we will run tournaments where one winner can win a seat for the event", says Mr. Alm.
No obligation
When asked about details about the agreement with Mahjong Logic, Robert Rijnders says that here is no obligation whatsoever for any EMA member country to cooperate with or display commercial advertising material about Mahjong Logic. "The idea of the partnership is that everyone can negotiate an arrangement which is suited to the situation and possibilities. EMA only requires these negotiations to be made through EMA, at least for now."
The partnership with Mahjong Logic is going to evolve in time, according to Robert Rijnders. "There is no written contract at this stage, no binding restriction or exclusionary rule. We do hope for a beneficial cooperation of course, but we have no fixed targets. Mahjong Logic is fairly new in this field and has yet to develop both player base and its platform interface. We want to be helpful by supporting that and we hope to get a financial gain for tournament organizers at the same time."
He states that there is no problem in cooperating with a server where mahjong can be played for money. Last year a Sisi tournament was played where the winner received a free subscription to the World Series of Mahjong, where money prizes were involved. He agrees that within EMA some members object against playing for money, while other do not. "But there is no formal position about this topic."
Unlike DMJL, the Dutch mahjong association (also presided by Robert Rijnders) will participate in the partnership. "On the other hand, there is no problem if certain countries will continue to cooperate with Mahjong Time. Like Russia, where the players have no other option to play online", says Mr. Rijnders. But he adds that in this case, these tournaments do not have an official status. That means, the results will not be included in the formal EMA MORSE Ranking for on line tournaments.
Online tournaments
After the summer, EMA and Mahjong Logic will initialize together online tournaments which will have a formal MORSE status.Information about the online tournaments on April 10th and April 17th:Start 17:00h; 4 rounds of 80 minutes; intermissions between sessions 10 minutes; closing of the tournaments 22:50. Participation 16,50 USD per tournament. Of this amount, 15 USD is added to the prize money; Mahjong Logic will add another 100 USD.
The fact that Russian Mahjong Federation is cooperating with Mahjong Time in organizing Russian Online Marathon does not mean that we "will not join the cooperation with Mahjong Logic". I see no correlation between this two issues. We may organize any tournament on any platform, and the tournament at MT does not prevent us from supporting EMA tournaments with ML software.
The statement that Russia is the country "where the players have no other option to play online (than at MT)" is strange too because the Russian players may play at any publicly available server which the players from other countries use as well. In fact the Russian players use (in the order of popularity) MT, Gambler.ru, Tenhou.net, Ron2.jp and ML clients.
Looking forward to all the official tournaments

There are 900+ restaurants in New Orleans; a city of less than 350,000 where culinary culture is not only sacred, but fiercely competitive. That being said, how do you set apart a new, unknown establishment in a city grossly oversaturated with endlessly reputable places to eat? Therein lied the challenge when Chef Michael Doyle hired me to create the visual identity for his impending restaurant in the Bywater.
I'm a firm believer in turning negatives into positives and feel that situations remain bleak only as long as you allow them to. The perseverance & unwavering strength New Orlenians showed in the face of adversity post-Katrina led me to believe they subscribed to this same principal. In the wake of recovery efforts, search & rescue units would spraypaint a large, black 'X' on the facade of destroyed homes with markings in each quadrant indicating the date, hazards found, bodycount, and the initials of the search squad. These ominous symbols remain dotted throughout the city; a constant reminder of the storm's fury. So why not flip a somber mark on its' head and create a newer, more positive meaning? Naturally I worried how residents would take to an outsider drawing inspiration from such a caustic event in their city, but the response has been overwhelmingly positive and proves that without risk, there is no reward.

I certainly hope this proves to be a better game than the rest in the Driver series. I also hope it looks like those screenshots.

looks sweet im getting it when it come out inless gta come to wii
I played this game on PS2 and it was pretty boring but I think the added wii controls could give it that edge it was missing.
Ive got that on ps2.. lets just say its not the best of games

How dare you state a different point of view, you complete fanboy! /sarcasm
Is this official?, and i hope there not the controls to drive the car, cause they look the same as COD 3 and they were terribly hard to use.
