|Top-flight BBQ cooks to vie for title at SOMO July 12
Bad to the Bone, Plastered Pig and Smokey Luv…with monikers such as these, one can only suspect they are top-flight barbecue cooks.
Well, they are, and they'll be competing at the fourth annual Wine Country Big Q BBQ Festival and Competition on Saturday, July 12, from 1-5 p.m. at Sonoma Mountain Village (SOMO) in Rohnert Park. More than 45 barbecue teams and more than a dozen wineries from throughout the country will vie to see who rules the grill. They'll be cooking chicken, beef, lamb, beans, sauce and bacon dessert. This day should be a carnivores delight.
More than $9,000 in cash and prizes will be up for grabs.
Whoever wins the grand champion honor will move on to compete at the Kansas City Royale and Jack Daniels Classic, two of the biggest barbecue competitions.
The Wine Country Big Q is one of only 400 competitions nationally sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society, which gives guests an opportunity to judge barbecue cooked low and slow to determine the People's Choice Awards.
Additional challenges, exclusive to the Big Q festival, are: the Winery Big Beef Challenge, where wineries pair their wines with tri-tip; the Bold Bean Challenge; Bakin' for Bacon dessert competition; and new this year the Get Sauced and tailgate competitions.
Live music will be provided by Jimi Hendrix cover band Purple Haze and Aqua Nett.
The competition is a benefit for the Luther Burbank Rose Parade and Festival.
Admission is $45 for adults, which includes a pound of barbecue and wine tasting.
Sonoma Mountain Village is located at 1300 Valley House Dr. in Rohnert Park off Petaluma Hill road.

Have we fallen in love with our Customer 2.0 yet?
It's pretty hard to cuddle up to this elusive customer. Even when they are there they are pushing us away. What they DON'T want is what worked so well for us in the past. So they don't respond to our emails, they orbit their own planet, and they only want to COMMIT when it's most convenient for them. And when they are ready, they want it all NOW.
What does Customer 2.0 REALLY want? They are starved for a virtual relationship. They're hungry for virtual bling that will satisfy their digital palates. If you feed them bite-sized info-snacks filled with entertaining and interesting content, they will fall in love with you all over again.
Ready to pack some delicious info-snacks?

Latex is conquering the fashion world more than ever before!
If its Lady Gaga, Madonna, Victoria Beckam or a bunch of fashion designers, they all have been using Latex as a attention and sale boost in their carrier. Which brought the shiny piece of course closer to the catwalk and the mainstream fashion, e.g. in form of latex leggings or mainly lycra leggings.
But believe it or not the British fashion store TopShop started selling glued latex clothing in their stores!
At the London Fashion Week 2010 they presented their new collection for this season, a rough Denim look with a shiny twist, LATEX.
The wide range of latex clothing introduced to the mainstream consumers included pencil skirts, jackets, very tight and loose tops, leggings and rubber cycling shorts.
So if you always have been wondering how it would be and what it would look like if latex hits the mainstream take a look at the new TopShop collection here or check out the short video.
Unfortunately, most of the items have already been taken down from the online store, so we cant take a closer look at it, but honestly its also not its money worth!
TopShop claims to be a outrageous high fashion store with "purse-friendly prices" , but if I take a look at their shiny rubber items, it makes me wonder if they had a moment of amnesia, since they forgot all about fashion, the good look and of course the affordable prices!
Seriously, who would give £ 80 for a simple top like that or worse £ 110 for those cycling shorts? To give you a better alternative take a look at Libidex or House of Harlot. They offer a good fitting fashionable range of latex clothing to a fair price. And if you hurry you will get the Valentines deal at Libidex with 25% off!
Or DIY! You can start with my latex leggings tutorial.
I think one of my next projects will be a tutorial on how to make the TopShop Latex Clothing yourself.

What I am dying to know is, who actually produced the items. Any mention? The leggings looked quite cool with the center back seams, but that nice detail seems really pointless when they say they're one size fits all, doesn't it?
Wired from the IAR boards also brought up a good point: what on earth are these fashionistas going to think when they wear their latex leggings out in the cold winter, not knowing how latex picks up the ambient temperature. Fun and games!
And yeah, the prices, oy!
It will be very neat if you do a Top Shop tutorial.

The idea is what counts (admittedly expensive and only mildly fashionable), and I hope that other mainstream labels don't take the TopShop experiment as the last word in that chapter.
… the hoodie was the best of the whole collection 🙂
P.S.: Breathless also has a 20% discount until end of January 😉

I dont think its the end of it. At some point everything repeats itself in the fashion world…no matter what it is, but why dont they do it with style???
Whats wrong with looking good or having some sexapeal?
Anyway, somebody doing it with style is Susanne Wiebe!

Hey, this is now a 5-year-old thread, but for completeness I thought I would point out that House of Harlot manufactured the lot of latex items sold by TopShop.
Also, they sold out in less than a month. They were selling so fast online you pretty much had to take an item if you saw it in the store because it was unlikely they'd be able to restock.
What does this mean for latex clothing designers and manufacturers? How does TopShop get to move items absurdly fast at higher prices than respected latex houses? It does show people will pay more for convenience and branding they trust. There has to be a way for latex producers to better in the area of marketing & sales.

As Father Michael Peterson Lay Dying of Aids, His Catholic Church Showed It Cared Deeply for One of Its Own
As AIDS has spread, the Catholic clergy has not been spared. At least a dozen reports of priests and brothers afflicted with the disease have appeared in recent months in Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Hawaii, New York and now in Peterson's home diocese of Washington, D.C. While some of the clerical victims have been sheltered and cared for by their colleagues, others have died shunned, ashamed and alone.
Peterson was not alone. Late in February he told Washington's Archbishop James A. Hickey the truth about his disease. The conservative archbishop responded by helping the stricken priest to emerge from secrecy and, as Hickey recalls, to "use this teaching moment to help AIDS sufferers free themselves from this terrible isolation." From his deathbed, Peterson composed a confidential letter to the priests of his home diocese and to Catholic bishops across the U.S. "I hope," he wrote, "that in my own struggle with this disease, in finally acknowledging that I have this lethal syndrome, there might come some measure of compassion, understanding and healing for me and for others with it—especially those who face the disease alone and in fear."
His plea was all the more poignant because, with his medical training, he was himself a healer of wounded priests. In 1978 he had founded the St. Luke Institute in suburban Suitland, Md., a psychiatric-care hospital for priests, brothers and nuns troubled by alcoholism, drug dependency and sexual problems. "He was so charismatic, such a positive influence on so many lives," says the Rev. Jim Yeakel, director of pastoral field education at the De Sales School of Theology in Washington, D.C. "His illness seemed so unfair. I thought, 'Why him? Why him?' "
Peterson was a searcher for spiritual directions all of his life. Born in Seattle and reared in Stockton, Calif., he left the Mormon faith of his family at age 13. His interest in medicine evolved at Stanford University, and he went on for his M.D. at the University of California at San Francisco. He worked for six years with the U.S. Public Health Service, much of that time as a research scientist at the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, but he was not fulfilled. "Here I am sitting in a lab shooting monkeys and mice full of viruses," he once said. "Why don't I do something with my life?"
At 32 he entered the De Sales School of Theology. Ordained three years later, Peterson promptly persuaded his superiors to establish St. Luke, a 24-bed hospital that has in recent years had a substantial waiting list for admittance. A nonstop worker himself, Peterson logged 200,000 miles yearly for workshops, counseling troubled clergy on chemical dependency and pedophilia. He held firmly to his belief that homosexuality is "genetically programmed in utero."
Ironically, the archbishop who ministered daily to Peterson until the end is known as a vigilant defender of the church's censure of homosexuals. In a separate letter that accompanied Peterson's message to bishops and colleagues, Archbishop Hickey, 66, did not retreat from that position. Yet he also wrote: "[Father Michael's] illness reminds us in a personal way of the terrible human tragedy of AIDS in our midst. His suffering challenges us to reach out with renewed conviction and compassion...not condemnation."
The archbishop said he never asked Peterson how he contracted AIDS. "And certainly in death," Hickey adds, "I have no desire to pursue it." Within the church, the archbishop's ministry to Peterson is being viewed as a model for handling a sensitive and acutely embarrassing situation. "I think what we're trying to do is to show that we care for our own," said Hickey, "that we don't send them off to die in oblivion."
That message was clear on April 13, four days after Father Michael's death, when Washington's St. Matthew's Cathedral overflowed with seven bishops and hundreds of priests for his funeral Mass. It was the first time in the U.S. that an acknowledged priest-victim of AIDS had been so honored, and some saw it as a watershed for the church. "All those priests coming out to the funeral was saying an awful lot," says the Rev. Robert Nugent, an author and lecturer for the Catholic Coalition for Gay Civil Rights. "They weren't ashamed of a priest with AIDS."

A cluster of infants born with neural tube defects in Washington State has prompted a reminder for physicians about the importance of folic acid supplements for women of childbearing age and the risk of birth defects linked with nitrate concentrations in private well water.
In August 2012, the Washington State Department of Health was alerted to an excessive number of anencephaly births at a hospital in the central part of the state. The health department's investigation showed that 27 women in a 3-county area had pregnancies affected by neural tube defects between January 2010 and January 2013. Anencephaly affected 23 of the pregnancies, spina bifida affected 3, and encephalocele, 1. The anencephaly rate in the 3-county area was 8.4 per 10 000 live births compared with a national rate of 2.1 per 10 000 live births. In contrast, the spina bifida rate was 1.3 per 10 000 live births compared with 3.5 per 10 000 nationally.

Chronic diseases constitute almost half of the U.S. health burden.
Acomparative study of U.S. population health, hailed by JAMA as having landmark status, demonstrated that despite significant improvements on several fronts, the United States is falling behind most industrialized nations in terms of life expectancy and other critical health measures.
The study used data from the massive Global Burden of Disease (GBD) effort, which quantified disease burden (morbidity and mortality data) in 187 countries from 1990 to 2010. The GBD 2010 Study was a collaborative effort of 488 scientists who analyzed data on 291 diseases and injuries, 1,160 sequelae of these conditions, and 67 risk factors or clusters of risk factors. The primary metrics used included life expectancy at birth, age-standardized years lived with disability (YLD), age-standardized years of life lost prematurely to disease (YLL), and healthy life expectancy (HALE).
Significant improvements in U.S. health included an increase in overall life expectancy from 75.2 years to 78.2 years. HALE increased from 65.8 years to 68.1 years, rates of death from all causes decreased, and the number of YLD remained stable.
In contrast, however, among the 34 countries that make up the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United States fell from 18th to 27th in age-standardized mortality, from fifth to sixth in YLD, from 20th to 27th in life expectancy at birth, from 23rd to 28th in YLL, and from 14th to 26th in HALE.
The study identified several areas that can more easily be addressed in efforts to reduce U.S. mortality, including ischemic heart disease, lung cancer, and "road injury" (vehicle and pedestrian injury). The areas showing the greatest promise for decreasing U.S. morbidity, according to the report, are body mass index, tobacco use, dietary risks, alcohol use, and high fasting glucose levels.
The study shows that, "as the population ages, chronic conditions and disability account for nearly half of the U.S. health burden," says Linda C. Baumann, professor emerita at the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Nursing. Baumann points out that the best outcome of chronic disease management isn't necessarily cure but improved quality of life, and that "nurses are the health professionals best suited to provide this care."
But improving outcomes goes beyond care delivery, says Baumann. Nurses can advocate policies that strengthen public health and address chronic disease management and risk factor prevention.—David Carter

Trick-or-treat hours will be held on Monday, Nov. 5, from 4 to 7 p.m. in the city of Bridgeton and the townships of Deerfield, Fairfield, Greenwich, Hopewell, Lawrence, Maurice River, Stow Creek and Upper Deerfield.
In addition, Shiloh will be holding trick-or-treat hours on Monday, Nov. 5 from 4 to 7 p.m., following a bit of miscommunication in the borough Wednesday afternoon regarding the change of plans following Gov. Chris Christie's executive order postponing Halloween.
"There was much confusion late in the day yesterday, and we were unclear if the Hopewell School, where Shiloh kids are also attending since the school district merger, were going to notify the children of the change in date," said Shiloh Borough Councilman Brad Campbell on Thursday. "It was later found out that they did indeed send a letter and utilize the phone chain to notify children and parents alike.
"We are sorry for the error and surely don't want our children to think they missed such a valued tradition in our town," Campbell said. "Shiloh will have trick or treat on Monday, Nov. 5."
Commercial Township will hold trick-or-treat hours on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 4 to 7 p.m. as previously rescheduled in anticipation of storm damage. Millville and Vineland held their celebrations the weekend prior to Halloween.
Downe Township was Cumberland County's lone municipality to hold trick or treat hours on Halloween as scheduled prior to Hurricane Sandy and the governor's statewide order. Despite significant storm damage in parts of the township, a number of residents reported having a fun, safe time while collecting candy in costume on Wednesday evening.
"I went with my grandkids and daughter-in-law; my sister lives in Newport. We mainly stayed on Landing Road and the road at the fire hall," said Bessie Bennett "There were a lot of people out and no problems, a lot of great costumes."
Bennett, a Fairfield resident, said she had mixed feelings about the last-minute postponement but acknowledged she feels "horrible for the ones who lost their homes and had damage."
However, Bennett said she and her family were able to trick or treat safely on Wednesday and had a good time. New Jersey State Police at the Port Norris barracks said there were no reported problems or incidents during Downe Township's trick-or-treat celebration.
Bennett said she and her family will be giving candy out in Fairfield on Monday to celebrate Halloween again at home.

EA's franchise has now gone beyond being the glamorous alternative to Konami's PES, taking the role as the industry leader right from under Pro Evo's nose. EA can't be lazy though. If it's going to remain at the top and not slide into the trap of releasing barely improved yearly rehashes (we're looking at you Konami), FIFA needs to continue to evolve.
FIFA 10 is righting the wrongs of 09 and adding a few new ideas of its own. EA Canada has taken on board the feedback given by FIFA 09 players and is ramming 10 full to the brim with refinements and improvements. A passer by, taking a subtle glance at the game, might assume it's simply FIFA 09 with updated players rosters, but look closer and the finer details start to shine through. FIFA 09 was lauded by many as the best football sim ever, so EA had no need to start from scratch with FIFA 10.
Refinements have been made to all areas of the game. FIFA 10 has brand-new urgency logic, meaning the players on the pitch react to what's going on in a more realistic way. Your defenders aren't going to be running around like headless chickens at the back when the ball's down the other end of the pitch, preserving their energy for situations that need it. Players can now detect if there's a dangerous hole that the opposition can exploit, moving into a position to neutralise the threat - or at least that's the idea. For example, if John Terry is up to attack a corner for Chelsea, Essien will spot that there's a gap in the defence and move into the space Terry has vacated - remaining there until Terry has returned to his natural position.
In offence players show increased smarts too. Space is analysed more effectively, they curve their runs to try and stay onside, attempt to create passing lanes and generally try to give more attacking options. Part of this comes from the new trapping system, which enables players to more intelligently take control of the ball. For example, if the ball is coming towards them in the air, they won't simply charge at it and risk miss-controlling it, stepping back in order to get more time. Overall, in FIFA 10 players will get the ball under control in a more realistic fashion, in theory leading to less frustration.
FIFA 09 allowed for some brilliant shooting, but it's been refined here to make shots seem more realistic. The position of the ball when you shoot, the spin on the ball as it comes towards the attacker, and all manner of other things have been taken into account to ensure the timing and position of each shot has a realistic effect on the outcome. Attackers can make use of their individual skills too, so players like Henry and Ronaldo can momentarily stop the ball and then trick their way past the defender - the kind of thing we see in real football all the time. This skilled dribbling combined with brand-new 360 degree analogue control means you can find spaces that simply weren't possible in previous FIFA titles.
Defending has seen improvements over and above positioning AI. Slide tackles are now more dependent on each player's skills (good players have longer reach and are less likely to take out the oncoming attacker). Standing tackles are less forgiving too, so you won't simply be able to hold down the 'press' button to see off attackers. In an effort to mimic the kind of last ditch blocks that the best defenders make on a regular basis (even if they often use their hands - Mr Terry being the biggest offender) there's new clearance logic. The best players will be able to slide in to block shots and crosses, or perform overhead clearances.

The Australian Federal Police has released more information on the man they're calling the "self-proclaimed leader" of Lulzsec. According to the AFP the man is a well respected IT Professional working at the local branch of an international company. The AFP believe he had access to sensitive information from multiple different clients, including government agencies.
Lulzsec was the group that claimed responsibility for hacks into multiple different game companies, including Sony, who was hacked in response to legal action taken against George 'Geohotz' Hotz.
"Those thinking of engaging in such activities should be warned that hacking, creating or propagating malicious viruses or participating in Distributed Denial of Service attacks are not harmless fun," said Commander Glen McEwen, from Cyber Crime Operations.
"Criminal acts such as this can result in serious long-term consequences for individuals, such as criminal convictions or imprisonment."
According to the press release, the AFP believes the man's knowledge and skills "presented a significant risk to the clients of the company for which he was employed had he continued his illegal online activities."
The man was arrested yesterday at work in Sydney, after investigators discovered that government website had been compromised. Apparently the internal mechanisms of the website were altered and an image within the website was altered, but the AFP would provide no further details.
He has been charged on two counts of "unauthorised modification of data to cause impairment", offenses which carry a potential jail term of 10 years.
UPDATE: The AFR has revealed more information about the suspect, including his name, company and client list.

Unlike classic romantic ballads where everything gets resolved in 32 rhyming bars, love's not that easy at the movies.
If it's love at first sight, you don't have a third act.
In a week when Bella and Edward returned to rule the box office with more "Twilight" vampire lust, new awards-season hopefuls are more interested in how humans do love. It's complicated.
Take the Lincolns for example. Although political gamesmanship and the passage of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery is the focus of Steven Spielberg's reverential "Lincoln," the relationship between saintly Abe (Daniel Day-Lewis) and unhinged Mary Todd (Sally Field) is the richest part of this history lesson.
Day-Lewis is amazing as he channels what we know of our 16th president, from the reedy voice to the homespun enlightenment. Fields' "Molly" is his intellectual equal, although she's more worried about staying out of the madhouse.
The deaths of two sons helped trigger her myriad mental disorders, but she is still as adept as her husband at playing Washington's favorite sport.
Although the president describes himself "cloaked in immense powers," his oldest son reminds him that he's no match for his wife's unpredictable disappointments and mood shifts. Not only does this add another human dimension to the craggy face etched on the penny - it makes him easier to identify with for most of the husbands in the audience.
Nineteenth-century manners, morals and slow-motion pace also set the scene for Joe Wright's fanciful adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's classic "Anna Karenina." Kiera Knightley stars as the aristocratic Russian wife who humiliates her husband (Jude Law) by unwisely falling in love with a dashing military officer (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Most of the movie scenes are set in a once-grand Imperial Russian theater, whose windows sometimes open to the world outside.
Director Wright presents it all as grand melodrama, taking us backstage to remind us of the illusions and artifices of Tolstoy's world. But in our own times when actual military officers' indiscretions play out in titillating detail on the six-o'clock news, neither Anna Karenina's passion, poor judgment nor ensuing scandal feel like they'd even make the final cut for the "Real Housewives of St. Petersburg."
Another master of screen illusion steps in front of the camera with his even more talented wife in the playful "Hitchcock." Director Sacha Gervasi's witty biopic is set in sun-dappled 1960 Hollywood as the portly English director tries to jump-start his career with the kinky horrors of "Psycho."
Sir Anthony Hopkins is like a cat with catnip nailing the wry idiosyncrasies of the peculiar figure familiar in '50s living rooms across America as the host of TV's "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." But even with Scarlett Johansson's scene-stealing Janet Leigh heading a strong supporting cast, it's Helen Mirren as the master of suspense's better half, Alma Reville, who makes "Hitchcock" crackle.
In their post-sexual but still fantasy-driven lives, they exchange brilliant barbs that pass for passion when clever people reach a certain age, revealing a unique and fruitful collaboration, onscreen and off.
But movie awards season's most potent romantic chemistry comes from Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, backed by Robert De Niro, Chris Tucker and Jacki Weaver in David O Russell's irresistible "Silver Linings Playbook."
Set in blue-collar Philadelphia where the NFL's Eagles play a key if uncredited supporting role, Cooper and Lawrence portray a quirky pair of battered psyches whose personal losses only fan the flames of their inner demons.
Moving from working-class Boston in his Oscar-winning "The Fighter" to the City of Brotherly Love this time, Russell's wise, compassionate, often hilarious direction and script produce Oscar-worthy performances all over the screen. Culminating with a ballroom-dancing competition as ridiculous as it is perfect, "Silver Linings Playbook" is as good as any love song ever written - just not as tidy, and it doesn't rhyme.

Advanced Treatment Options for PAD
A cool laser to vaporize plaque (CliRpath® or Cool Laser Revascularization for Peripheral Artery Therapy). The cool laser treatment vaporizes blockages - especially below the knee where the arteries are small and narrow. The cool laser catheter delivers rapid and continuous bursts of ultraviolet energy to the target site eliminating the obstruction without damage to the surrounding artery. Unlike other lasers, this "cool" laser does not burn.
Angioplasty and Stents to restore blood flow to the legs. A common procedure used for PAD is balloon angioplasty. A balloon at the tip of a catheter is inflated inside the artery to block blood flow while a stent, a small wire mesh tube, is expanded inside the vessel to keep the walls open.
Shaving the plaque away using a device called SilverHawk. A guidewire is threaded into the diseased leg artery to direct the SilverHawk device into place. Then, at a very high rotation per minute, the device works by shaving plaque from the artery wall and pushing it into a nosecone for collection and removal from the body.
Pulverizing plaque using a device that rotates at a high rate of speed (Diamondback 360™ Orbital Atherectomy System). The Diamondback technology enables a physician to "sand away" hard plaque and calcium deposits, which are fatty materials that builds up on the inside walls of blood vessels.
Prakash Makam, M.D., cardiologist and medical director of Cardiovascular Research for Community Healthcare System, serves as the principle investigator for many clinical research studies involving PAD. He also teaches and mentors other physicians in the latest techniques and treatments available for PAD, including live broadcasts of cases performed at Community Hospital.
PAD Rehabilitation
Exercise therapy has been proven to help some of the painful symptoms of PAD, as well as increase overall cardiovascular health. Our three to six-month PAD Rehabilitation program features three days per week of exercise as well as an extensive educational program related to PAD prevention and treatment. The program is offered through Phase 3 Cardiac Rehabilitation at Lake Business Center in Munster. Call (219) 934-2830 for more information.

Kashner makes a good target for the shorts. However, the shorts consistently confuse the real issues relative to our IPO and Kashner:1) This was an IPO that raised $7.5 million. Tiny by most IPO standards. Who did you think was going to takes us out Goldman? JP Morgan? Yeah right! Those guys COST $7.5 million. It had to be someone much smaller with smaller fees. Duh.2) Show me one of these firms that hasn't been sued for very serious issues. Goldman, JP Morgan (maybe the worst?), Morgan Stanley, all big names sure, BUT they've been sued a thousand times for transgressions in the market. To single out Kashner is silly. ALL of these companies are designed to take our money. Regulation is non-existant. Penalties are a joke.3) It worked! Say what you want about Kashner's past but in this case it worked pretty well. In fact, can anyone remember a more successful IPO in the past 2-3 years? I can't.So there ya go... I don't know Kashner, never heard of them before this IPO, and I'll probably never hear of them again. Their importance in the future of this stock is now zero. Thanks for taking us to the dance boys!Best of Luck,- HRC
What you are missing, HRC, is where all, and I mean all, of Kashner's IPOs end up. You don't think that matters?? You think they suddenly found the Holy Grail of companies with VAPH??
It's me. what's up?
Zarman3333,No I think Kashner got lucky. I'm convinced they were naked short on the opening of the IPO. Dead wrong if I'm right. If so, it's further proof that they had no idea as to what VAPH was/is really all about.All just my guessing.I'm no fan of Kashner but you do have to admit that this IPO was successful. To some extent Kashner gets to claim some of that.Best of Luck,- HRC

I have been training technicians for about 35 years. now that i have semi retired how do i continue to share my knowledge with younger technicians in the bus industry.
Successful businesspeople know that one of the keys to success is hiring a well-trained staff. Joe Edison was such a businessperson. While working for the Arkansas Department of Education as state pupil transportation director, he recognized the need for well-trained school bus mechanics to keep the state's fleet of school buses safe and dependable. After consulting with school bus mechanics in the state, Edison formed the Arkansas School Bus Mechanics Association (ASBMA) in 1950. A year later, he helped to develop the Arkansas School Bus Mechanics Workshop. For the past 47 years, the workshop has offered some of the best training available in school transportation. The first workshop attracted 80 to 85 people. These days, more than 300 technicians, including more than a dozen from outside Arkansas, attend the week-long workshop. More than 50 classes are offered during the week, with schedules arranged to enable mechanics to attend desired courses.
Full schedule for participants
The following is a typical workshop schedule. Registration and breakfast begin at 6 a.m. Classes begin at 8 a.m. and continue until 5 p.m. from Monday through Thursday. On Friday, classes are held from 6 a.m. until noon. Scheduled activities are sponsored throughout the week by various vendors. All meals are provided and are catered by local restaurants. The participants are offered a wide variety of classroom and hands-on courses. Many of the classes focus on individual problems and solutions and provide significant interaction between the instructors and the students.
Class sessions range in length from 105 minutes for a presentation such as "How to Get ASE Certified" to three days for intensive training in how to overhaul an Allison transmission. The annual workshop provides more than technical knowledge. One of its benefits is the common bond that develops among the participants. They can share helpful tips about equipment, repairs or new technology. At the close of the workshop, each Arkansas school bus mechanic receives a certificate for 36 hours of training in the fields they have chosen. These clock hours are accumulated from year to year with special recognition given to mechanics who accrue 500 or 1,000 hours. The ASBMA has the privilege of conducting its workshop on the campus of Conway Public Schools, which is centrally located and easily accessible to all school districts. School district officials and the entire community make our stay a pleasant one.
DOE provides funding
The workshop is primarily funded through the Arkansas Department of Education. Registrants pay a $70 fee, which includes access to classes and all meals. The ASBMA and its workshop are 48 years old and still going strong. Their longevity is due in part to a shared belief that good training is the key to success. Since the 1987-88 school year, when records first started being kept, there have been no known mechanically related accidents in Arkansas. For information on the workshop, contact Fred Davis, President, ASBMA, P.O. Box 382, Prescott, AR 71857. The phone number is 870/887-3221.
Fred Davis is transportation supervisor at Prescott (Ark.) School District and president of the Arkansas School Bus Mechanics Association.

Clean City Contest
Ville Platte has only a few days remaining to prepare for its participation in the Clean City Contest. Judges will be here Tuesday, March 31.
Mayor Bill Jeanmard, on behalf of the City of Ville Platte, and Joyce Coreil, on behalf of the Magnolia Garden Club, ask residents and businesses to clean up their areas by picking up litter, cutting grass, etc. Here are scenes of Cleco workers doing their part to prepare their areas for the contest. Organizers offer these tips: 1. Special attention is given to the landscaping and overall clean, litter-free appearance. 2. Approaches to the city are carefully observed. Weeds around poles, signs and roadside ditches subtract points from the city's score. No weeds should be growing in broken cracks of sidewalks, street curbs or along any roadway. 3. No weeds or tall grass should be growing along school fences. Students could be given the task of keeping the grounds litter-free. This will help instill pride in the cleanliness of their school. 4. Vacant lots should be mowed at least 10 feet from the street or highway if the whole lot can't be mowed. Vacant lots also should be litter-free. 5. Abandoned cars are one of the worst litter problems. A good anti-litter project is to rid the city of such objects.

Glad for Jags' standards
It is good to know South Alabama has a higher standard for their new baseball manager than the New York Yankees. Sit on the bench and learn one year and have a college degree. How about the unique idea of hiring the best available? How about Gary Gillmore from Coastal Carolina?
No need to elevate Wyatt
Hey Tommy Hicks, Bobby Wyatt is a superior high school golfer with international credentials. Don't manipulate his record to sound greater than he is. His credentials reported accurately are impressive enough.
USA needs defense
I enjoyed watching team USA's run in World Cup soccer, but one observation is that they definitely need to play more defense, and need to attack the ball more on defense.
Umps making their own rules
The umpires in the College World Series game are making their own rules. Most balls four or five inches outside are called strikes. That is absolutely not right.
Save fish for restoration
Whoever is responsible for opening this catch and release and letting the boats go in and out of the oil and the whole nine yards, even fishing in the bay, ought to be fired. Close everything until this stuff is over. The fish we have left should be kept for restoration.
Auburn is the best
Auburn may not have made it to the College World Series this year, South Carolina and UCLA made it. But look at all the sports, talking about golf, gymnastics, everything that Auburn's athletics program has, they are simply just the best.
No more soccer
The United States playing soccer and trying to make it a household thing, is the same disappointment the University of South Alabama will have as a football program as soon as they start playing teams like Southern Miss or Troy, who will absolutely destroy them, and you people praise South Alabama for beating military academies. Mr. Editor, soccer is over. Ghana defeated the United States. Last ditch effort, football please.
Spend more on baseball
It is amazing the ignorance of people who call the sound offs in the sports page. Coach Kittrell has done an outstanding job at South Alabama. A man says he has never won a regional, which is true, but if you look back 90 percent of teams winning regionals have hosted regionals. If you want to bag on somebody, bag on the trustees and administration who would rather buy every hospital in Mobile than support an athletics program. They built a new arena for a basketball team that is a joke, that's only been to the tournament four times. If you look at the history of USA, the most successful sport has been the baseball team, and the only reason they have anything is from the former players.

I stayed at Club One Seven in March and had the best holiday ever. I stayed in the new Inn on the the top floor and met many cute guys. It is an unique accommodation in Phuket that is not matched by any other. Daniel, Mack and the staff made me feel like I am part of the family.

Two Charleston County School Board members want to give themselves a raise, and the amount they're proposing would make them the highest paid school board in the state.
The district's elected leaders todaywill consider bumping their pay from $25 per meeting, or roughly $600 annually, to $15,000 per year. Two of three members on the board's policy committee signed off on the proposal -- committee Chairman Elizabeth Moffly and board Vice Chairman Chris Collins.
"$25 is a joke," Moffly said. "I'm just asking to be equitably compensated for the service that I offer."
South Carolina's 85 school districts vary dramatically in what board members are paid. Thirty-one districts pay board members nothing, while the highest paid board members in Horry County receive $9,600 per year. The Horry board's chairman receives $13,440 annually, according to the South Carolina School Boards Association.
Moffly believes the school board's pay should be comparable to that of elected officials on Charleston City Council or Charleston County Council. City Council members receive $15,000 per year, while County Council members receive $14,352 per year. She pointed out even the College of Charleston student body president receives a salary of nearly $10,000 annually.
"And look at us at $25 per meeting," she said.
The pay hike would entice better qualified candidates to run for office, and board members would have a higher level of public accountability because of the additional compensation, she said.
"I don't think constituents are getting good service out of some board members because they only show up for meetings and don't do anything else," she said. "And that's about what you're going to get -- $25 worth of service."
The additional money for the board would be a "drop in the bucket" of what the district has, she said. It's operating budget this year is $334.3 million. Moffly frequently opposes district expenditures, even voting this fall against $681,000 to hire school resource officers to police schools.
The proposal would cost more than $200,000 because the nine board members still would continue receiving mileage for traveling to meetings and the $25 meeting per diem, which totaled about $11,500 last year. The proposal also calls for a raise for constituent board members to $1,500 annually, which would be nearly $70,000.
School board Chairman Chris Fraser said he was surprised to see the pay increase proposal, and he didn't support it. Board members ran for this office knowing it had nominal pay, and he didn't see how the board could in good conscience give itself more money when it's made numerous cuts to schools, he said. Teachers haven't received raises in a few years, he said.
"There's no doubt this job takes a lot of time, and to do it properly takes a lot of time, but I'm not going to vote for myself to get a raise," he said.
The board's raise would have to come out of the general operating budget, which means it would have to be taken from something else, Fraser said. The money would be better spent other ways, such as hiring reading specialists for high schools, he said.
Board member Toya Hampton Green agreed. She said she's never heard prospective school board candidates say they might not run for office because of money; usually, their reasons involve time, work or family, she said. And, even if the board has the right to increase its pay, she said it seemed like a conflict of interest to do so.
"I feel like it's in poor taste," she said. "It's a bad climate to request a pay raise of how many hundreds percentage increase. It's not why I ran, and it didn't affect my choice (to run)."

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- As if the Buffalo Sabres haven't endured enough injuries already this season. Add coach Lindy Ruff to the list.
Ruff sustained three broken ribs in what was described as "a freak accident" after he was upended by defenceman Jordan Leopold in practice on Monday. In revealing the extent of the coach's injuries, the Sabres announced that Ruff is expected to be back at practice Tuesday to "resume his coaching responsibilities."
Ruff was hurt near the end of practice during a puck-chase drill when Leopold was trying to cut off forward Ville Leino. Ruff was standing in the middle of the ice looking the other way when Leopold lost his footing and went sliding head first on his stomach and crashed into the back of his coach's skates.
Ruff fell backward and landed on his right side with a heavy thud, and was fortunate not to hit his head. Witnesses said they heard Ruff yell out in pain.
A Sabres trainer went out to tend to Ruff, who required assistance as he slowly skated off the ice. Ruff was still in pain, clutching his right arm, as a trainer escorted him out of team's facility a few minutes later.
"I was racing for the puck with Ville, and I ended up losing an edge," Leopold said. "Right when I hit the deck I knew there was no way I was getting up. I was yelling, 'Heads, heads, heads.' Lindy had his back to me, and it ended up happening."
Leopold knew almost immediately that Ruff was hurt.
"I lost my breath. I was looking back right when it happened and I yelled, 'Are you all right?' And right away, 'No.' So that wasn't a good thing," he said. "That was one of those unexpected ones. Those ones are dangerous."
Ruff's injury is the latest to hit a team that's been banged-up for much of this season. Captain Jason Pominville is the only player not to have missed a game this year.
Sabres owner Terry Pegula has blamed the rash of injuries on much of his team's struggles this season. Buffalo (22-24-6) opened Monday in a tie for 12th in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Sabres are 3-0-1 in their past four games since snapping a five-game skid, and host Boston on Wednesday.
In his 14th season with the Sabres, the 51-year-old Ruff is the team's winningest and longest-serving coach.
"Scary situation, just hoping he's going to be all right here," goalie Ryan Miller said. "Lindy's broken a few bones and had a few scrapes and a few cuts in his career. To see him in that much pain, I think he probably has something going on there. And hopefully he's all right. We need him behind the bench yelling and calling the lines."

Leino involved with this story? Oh, the irony.
That is sort of funny. I don't recall Leino ever racing for a puck in Detroit, so it's sort of hard for me to work up a mental image for all of this.

There was a time when big things were expected from Blake McLimans. Big men who can create shots and drift to the perimeter for mid-range jumpers are coveted, especially stretched across a 6-foot-10 frame.
Fast forward three years and McLimans' career totals at Michigan are 65 points and 34 rebounds — not exactly star quality — but he's always looked at the big picture.
He understands the value of a degree from Michigan and playing for fellow Western New York native John Beilein. McLimans and the Wolverines have been ranked among the nation's Top 10 all season — climbing as high as No. 1 — and there may still be time for him to tap into some of his potential.
McLimans and the No. 4 seeded Wolverines (26-7) will play Summit League champion and 13th seeded South Dakota State (25-9) at 7:15 p.m. Thursday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Auburn Hills, Mich.
"I'm grateful for my role, I know I'm not going to get that many minutes, and we have a lot of talented players on this team," said McLimans, the Hamburg High product who also attended Worcester Academy for prep school. "Our motto is 'The Team, The Team, The Team.' So whatever coach wants you to do, maybe play one, two and a half or three minutes, I embrace my role."
As Beilein added young talent such as freshmen Glenn Robinson III and Mitch McGary and sophomore Jon Horford to help Michigan return to the nation's elite, McLimans' minutes decreased in each of the last two seasons. Instead of sulking, he helps the frontcourt players prepare for games by working hard in practice.
"It doesn't matter if I'm not playing that much as long as our team is doing well," he said. "The best part about this team is that I'm friends with everybody on the team and I'll continue to be friends with them after basketball. It's special and that's the reason why it hasn't bothered me because I enjoy being around all my teammates. It's a great atmosphere to be around."
He also has a close relationship with Beilein.
"He's a big Bills fan and I'm a big Bills fan so we always have that to talk about and it's interesting looking forward to the next season," McLimans said. "We talk about Buffalo Wings and the Bison Chip Dip. Whenever there's something going around in the Buffalo area we'll always talk about it. It's a great relationship and since we're from the same area we have a lot in common that way."
It's been an up-and-down season for Michigan, which was ranked No. 1 for a week before an 81-73 loss at No. 3 Indiana. They've gone 6-5 since.
"We're not worried about our season and we're happy to be in the tournament," McLimans said. "We know that South Dakota State is a great team, that they have great players and we'll spend these next couple of days preparing. We're all extremely excited to be in the tournament and ready to play. Once you're in the NCAA Tournament it's kind of a new start and everyone starts 0-0."
McLimans will graduate in the spring with an economics degree but still has a year of eligibility remaining. After the season ends, he'll look for graduate schools and will be eligible to play immediately. Returning to Western New York is an option McLiman might choose. "Coming back home would probably be nice, and it crossed my mind what I'm going to do," he said. "But I'm really focused on Michigan and what we're going to do to finish the season before I put myself first."

The plaintiff, identified only as John Doe, claims the Grease star touched his genitals and offered up a sexual proposition after hiring him for a massage. The alleged victim recently filed assault and sexual battery charges against Travolta in a federal court, but the actor's legal team has dismissed the suit and has vowed to take its own court action over the allegations. A statement released to E! News reads, "This lawsuit is complete fiction and fabrication. None of the events claimed in the suit ever occurred. The plaintiff, who refuses to give their name, knows that the suit is a baseless lie... On that date when plaintiff claims John met him, John was not in California and it can be proved that he was on the East Coast. "Plaintiff's attorney has filed this suit to try and get his 15 minutes of fame. John intends to get this case thrown out and then he will sue the attorney and Plaintiff for malicious prosecution."
