Miami Beach police shot at an off-duty North Charleston fire captain on Memorial Day after he nearly struck an officer and crashed into a parked cruiser at a chaotic shooting scene, authorities said.
The police gunfire missed 45-year-old Carlos LaKeith King, but officers took him into custody for driving under the influence, according to a police report. He has since been released from custody and is reportedly on his way back to South Carolina.
North Charleston Fire Chief Greg Bulanow said King contacted him about the arrest and he placed King on paid administrative leave until the allegations are resolved. King, a 17-year veteran with the fire department, is a captain at the Deerwood Drive station in the citys north end, he said.
Miami Beach police spokeswoman Deborah Doty said the incident occurred after King crossed through a police perimeter officers had set up while investigating a shooting Monday during Urban Beach Week. The event attracts thousands over the Memorial Day weekend.
Doty declined to provide details on the initial shooting. But The Miami Herald reported that the 4 a.m. incident involved a driver who struck an officer and then crashed into police barricades and other cars while fleeing the area. Unconfirmed witness reports said the driver also was shooting out of his car. Police opened fire and killed the driver after the car crashed. Four bystanders were wounded during the incident as well, the Herald reported.
King happened along later that morning, police said, driving his 2007 Mercedes at a high rate of speed. Police said an officer had to jump out of the way to avoid being run over by the Mercedes. Police then shot at the vehicle, which crashed into a marked cruiser parked in the intersection, a report stated.
Police said King smelled strongly of alcohol, was unsteady on his feet and had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. He was arrested for DUI after failing field sobriety tests, police said. He also was charged with refusing to take a Breathalyzer test.
King told officers he didnt know what happened. He explained that he was trying to pass a slow car when he crashed into the cruiser. I am not drunk, the police report quoted him as saying. I only had one beer. No ... maybe two or three.
Kings lawyer, Saam Zangeneh, could not be reached for comment late Thursday. He told The Miami Herald earlier that King denied the allegations.
Bulanow said he plans to meet with King when he returns home. We will talk about the situation and go from there.

25 Greatest Oscar winning performances of all time
Heath Ledger, Meryl Streep, Julie Andrews and more
Next gallery »25 Greatest Original Song Oscar Nominees that lost
« Previous gallery9 big questions to ponder as Oscars voting finally begins
10. Daniel Day-Lewis, "My Left Foot"
Category: Best Actor
Year: 1989
Strongest Competition: Tom Cruise, "Born on the Fourth of July" and Kenneth Branagh, "Henry V"
Why: Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors of his generation and clearly earned both of his Oscars for "There Will Be Blood" and "Lincoln." That being said, his first win for "My Left Foot" may be his most remarkable. As Christy Brown, he played a man with severe cerebral palsy where, and as the title of the film insinuates, he could only use his left foot. What Day-Lewis is able to do to his body to play the part is an amazing accomplishment in and of itself. How he could communicate Brown's passion, fears and dreams is another. It's such a remarkable transformation that when you consider his peers, it's hard to come up with even a handful of other actors who could have come close to pulling this off. Now that's how legends are born.

How To Make a Quick, Vegetarian, One-Bowl Meal
What You NeedIngredients Grain + Vegetables + Protein (tofu or tempeh) + Garnishes + Sauce Equipment Cutting board and knife For the grain: saucepan or rice cooker For the sauce: blender or food processor (optional) For the vegetables and protein: saucepan with lid and steamer basket or heat-resistant colander
Instructions1. Cook the grain: This one-bowl meal is a great way to use leftover and reheated grains, in which case you can use any kind you like. If making it on the spot, choose a quick-cooking grain like quinoa (about 15 minutes), bulgur (about 20 minutes), or pearl barley (about 30 minutes). 2. Make the sauce: The sauce is what really makes this bowl. Whip it up while the grain is cooking, or make it ahead of time and refrigerate until needed. Here are a few good recipes:
- Avocado Dressing (The Kitchn)
- Carrot-Ginger Dressing (Smitten Kitchen)
- Curry-Coconut Sauce (Real Simple)
- Gandhi's Curry Sauce (Native Foods)
- Green Tea Sesame Sauce (Native Foods)
- Spicy Peanut Sauce (The Kitchn)
- Tahini-Miso Dressing (The Kitchn)

Safe boating week slated
The week of May 16-22, 2009 has been proclaimed Safe Boating Week in Louisiana by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission at their May 7 meeting.
The week kicks off the summer boating season and the LDWF reminds all boaters to be safe, responsible and knowledgeable while on the water.
Safe Boating Week is a time for all boaters to inspect their vessels to ensure that all required safety equipment is on board and that vessels are in good working condition.
Vessel operators are advised to review Louisiana boating laws and anyone born after Jan. 1, 1988, is reminded to complete a Boating Education course before operating a vessel with a 10 horsepower or greater motor. Additionally, Louisiana law requires anyone operating a personal watercraft to be at least 16 years of age and to have completed a Boating Education course.
LDWF Enforcement Division agents will be on the water again this summer to verify boater compliance with all boating regulations and to help make recreational boating in Louisiana a safe and enjoyable outdoor activity.

The American Cancer Society launched the second phase of its latest cancer prevention study Tuesday on the ninth floor of Chase Tower, 600 S. Tyler St.
CPS-3, which began in 2006, is designed to be a long-term resource to examine the relationship between cancer incidence and mortality, particularly among minorities, according to the American Cancer Society.
In efforts to diversify the ongoing study, ACS researchers are seeking minority men and women between the ages of 30 and 65 who never have been diagnosed with cancer, ACS regional vice president Jason McCoy said.
"A lot of times, folks from this area don't get an opportunity to be a part of something like this," McCoy said. "What makes this so unique is, we have 25 percent of the world's cotton grown here. We've probably got half the world's beef down here — we got oil. We've got the food, fiber and fuel of America here, and so our people need to be represented when things like this happen."
The American Cancer Society has conducted nationwide population studies to examine potential causes of cancer, beginning with the Hammond-Horn study from 1952 to 1955, which researched the effects of smoking.
Its successor, CPS-1, examined the correlation between smoking and obesity from 1959 to 1972, while CPS-II, which began in 1982, examines the impact of environmental and lifestyle factors on cancer incidences in a large group of American men and women.
According to ACS, some of the goals for CPS-3 are to help track the evolution of changes in obesity, nutrition, activity and their impact on morbidity and mortality; identify new risk factors for cancer due to changes in environment, lifestyles, medications and new technologies; and expansion of knowledge of cancer risk factors in diverse populations.
"Participants will be followed for at least 20 years and once enrolled, the American Cancer Society will contact participants every two years with mailed questionnaires to answer," McCoy said.
Roy Urrutia, director of public relations for Atmos Energy, said the study presentation was very enticing and hopes his company will be on board for participating.
"We have cancer survivors in our company and in our organization — it impacts all of us," Urrutia said. "But also on a personal note, my family has been impacted by cancer, so it's important for us to be aware of cancer prevention."
During the presentation, Urrutia said 400 volunteers were needed.
"The beauty about Atmos Energy is we have operations and employees in the six divisions discussed (the High Plains Division of ACS) so hopefully we can get some volunteers," he said.
Participation in this nationwide study is essential, said Harrington Cancer Center CEO Dr. Paul Hancock.
"It's very important that our region be represented in this group because we don't want our region to be left out," Hancock said. "In other words, we want people from this region to be identified in this study population because of the important things that could be learned about our own region."
There are 138 people from Amarillo and the surrounding area who enrolled in 2008, McCoy said.
"I enrolled in '06 during the first wave, and we signed up people during our special events," he said. "Now we're on the second wave. We want to reach 300,000 people in the High Plains Division by December."
McCoy said the response from the community has been great, and he looks forward to the Amarillo enrollment sites launching in the fall.

Some states roll back teacher tenure protections
WASHINGTON -- Even before a judge's scathing ruling against California's teacher tenure policies, the once-sacred protections that make it harder to fire teachers already had been weakened in many states -- and even removed altogether in some places.
Florida, for example, put all teachers hired after 2011 on an annual teaching contract, which essentially did away with tenure protections.
Kansas and North Carolina also are seeking to eliminate tenure or phase it out. The nonpartisan Education Commission of the States, which highlighted the changes in a recent report, says 16 states -- up from 10 in 2011 -- now require the results of teacher evaluations be used in determining whether to grant tenure.
Not all changes have stuck, and few are without a political fight.
Teacher tenure protections were established in the 20th century to protect teachers from arbitrary or discriminatory firings based on factors such as gender, nationality or political beliefs. They spell out rules under which teachers may be dismissed after they pass a probationary period. But critics say the tenure protections make it too difficult to fire ineffective teachers.
The debate over teacher tenure comes as many states, propelled by Obama administration-led incentives, develop more meaningful teacher evaluation systems that seek to provide a more accurate picture of student learning under a teacher. Using such systems, the Education Commission of the States says seven states make teachers return to probationary status if they are rated "ineffective," meaning they have no assurances their contracts will be renewed at the end of the school year.
Last week, Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu in Los Angeles sided with nine students who sued to overturn California statutes governing teacher hiring and firing, saying they served no compelling purpose and had led to an unfair, nonsensical system that drove excellent new teachers from the classroom too soon and kept incompetent senior ones.

Designing a good qPCR assay requires careful consideration of a number of parameters that can spell the difference between success and failure, according to Mark Behlke, M.D., Ph.D., CSO, Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT). "The design of the assay must carefully determine parameters such as primer placement, specificity, avoidance of single nucleotide polymorphisms, oligonucleotide interactions, and accurate melting-temperature calculations."
One answer is the use of predesigned assays that shift the burden of these choices to the manufacturer. But not all assays are created equal, according to Dr. Behlke. "Unfortunately, databases are dynamic, not static. Some commercial assays were designed using now-outdated databases. In other cases, a scientist might be using a primer design format that was done with older, less accurate melting-temperature algorithms. Even worse, a researcher may not be able to find out from the company the sequence information that could be verified or even a correct quote for a research publication."
To overcome this problem, IDT offers its PrimeTime® predesigned qPCR assays. Scott D. Rose, Ph.D., director, molecular genetics, reports, "We've developed these assays for all genes in the human, mouse, and rat transcriptomes. The assays are very specific and eliminate concerns such as cross-reactivity within each genome and primer interactions. Importantly, we also freely provide all the information a researcher will need to know, including full sequence disclosure of both primers and probes as recommended by the MIQE guidelines."
The IDT technology employs its ZEN double-quenched probes. Dr. Rose indicated that "these assays provide sensitivity down to 10 copies or less. We were able to reduce background fluorescence by decreasing the length between the reporter dye and the internal quencher to only nine base pairs. Traditionally probes have 20–30 bases between the dye and quencher.
"Thus, the ZEN quencher is always within close proximity of the reporter, resulting in a much lower initial background fluorescence, Lower background results in greater sensitivity for the assay. With the ZEN system, even long probes—up to 50 base pairs—are effectively quenched because the distance between the quencher and the reporter dye is fixed and is independent of probe length."
Analysis of nucleic acid fragments present in plasma, serum, and other body fluids such as urine can enable specific detection of tumor types from a simple blood sample, said Martin Horlitz, Ph.D., senior scientist, Qiagen. "These circulating DNA and RNA fragments can originate from malignant tumors, a developing fetus, and also from viral or bacterial infections. Assessing the presence of these nucleic acids via qPCR could help diagnose cancer at an early stage or assess the genetic makeup of a developing fetus."
Circulating cell-free nucleic acid fragments have distinctive properties. "They are present in blood mostly as shorter fragments of less than 500 base pairs or as nucleotides at a concentration of about 5–100 ng/mL. Because of their low concentration and small fragment sizes, they present a challenge to isolate. Qiagen offers the QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit for the quick and efficient purification of these circulating nucleic acids from samples up to 5 milliliters."
The kit is based upon the selective binding of nucleic acids to a silica-based membrane that provides for improved recovery of fragmented nucleic acids. Dr. Horlitz explained, "The purification is highly efficient with reproducible yields and can be easily done on a vacuum manifold. There is no organic extraction or ethanol precipitation needed. Thus, there is complete removal of contaminants and inhibitors."
However, even with nucleic acids efficiently isolated, running a qPCR presents another challenge. "Concentration and size distribution of isolated nucleic acids can vary between samples and even in the same individual when samples are collected at different times. Hence, the use of internal controls is recommended to independently track the success of both nucleic acid extraction and PCR quantification."
Qiagen offers the QuantiFast Kits for singleplex and multiplex real-time PCR and RT-PCR, both of which are SYBR Green and probe-based. "The QuantiFast Kits enable fast and reliable quantification of fragmented circulating nucleic acids of differing sizes and low concentration levels."
According to Dr. Horlitz, "qPCR of circulating nucleic acids will likely have an impact on molecular testing. While it is already used for certain molecular diagnostic applications, it is still in its infancy. But it will have many applications that range from genotyping to routinely checking for the presence of tumors."

This post is co-written by G Squared (Geoff Livingston and Gini Dietrich).
Guess what?!?
We finally get to talk about our new book! We joked, early on, that it's not nice to tell prolific bloggers they can't write about what they're writing about. It's been a challenge, that's for sure.
But it's time to let the cat out of the bag because Marketing In the Round: Multichannel Approaches In the Post- Social Media Era is listed and ready for pre-sale on Amazon and Barnes & Noble!
I was trying really hard not to be a douchecanoe who gets all excited about these little milestones, but it's really stinking cool to see your name listed on Amazon. I mean,really cool.
About the book…
Integration of All Disciplines
You may recall the number three social media trend, I listed last week, as integration of all disciplines. That is because integration is a much discussed topic within social media, but also one PR and marketing professionals are discussing in great detail.
A recent IBM study of 1,700 chief marketing officers has some interesting results. It found respondents:
- Are facing a challenge trying to figure out how to integrate the growing number of new marketing channels and devices, from smart phones to tablets.
- Fifty-six percent view social media as a key engagement channel.
- Not since the original dot com era have they been under so much pressure to understand how new media integrate into the mix, and how all the parts work together.
- Seventy-eight percent expect more complexity during the next five years, but only 48 percent are prepared to deal with it.
There is a great need for information and an understanding in multichannel marketing.
Geoff and I (G Squared!) have both successfully marketed in the social and mobile media realms, yet our roots are in traditional public relations and advertising. Because of that experience, we believe our book offers new insights into how to build an integrated program that leverages the strengths of all disciplines, old and new.
Move Social Out of the Sand Box
When the book is released in May, it will have been nine years since Robert Scoble began his tenure at Microsoft as a video blogger. It will have been more than five years since the launch of Twitter. And nearly six years since Facebook opened to anyone older than the age of 13.
The era of corporate and general population usage of social media has entered its maturation and evolutionary phase.
The challenge is no longer how to incorporate social into the marketing programs, but how to move social out of the sand box, and into a role that fits within larger marketing context.
We find that role — an important one for grassroots and customer relations — is often overblown.
Consider most successful marketing programs are in actuality integrated using advertising, direct marketing, mobile, and/or PR with strong social components. Rare is the pure grassroots, or viral, hit.
Marketing In the Round
When I left the big, global PR firm, it was to join an advertising agency to help build their PR department. It was early 2001 and integration was all the rage.
And, in fact, it was a lot of fun and fairly simple to propose PR programs to their existing advertising clients.
But then we had the 9/11 tragedy and everyone retreated to their respective corners, licked their wounds, and began to violently protect their own fiefdoms. Integration was, once again, dead.
Our approach to integration is to use a roundtable concept…where all disciplines work together to break down the silos, do what's best for company growth, and work together.
It may seem a bit naive if you haven't yet tried it, but it works. G Squared have both been working with organizations to do precisely this for years.
The book has case studies of companies, non-profits, and other organizations who have been successfully integrating for years. It has exercises for creating your own marketing round. And it gives you all sorts of ideas, benefits, and risks for creating a strategic and integrated marketing round.
It's not out until May (our final deadline is January 2 and we're already two-thirds finished writing), but you can pre-order it now.
Here we go!

Sign me up. I want one! Gonna go order it now!
@KenMueller Ah. You're such a good friend. Thank you!
@ginidietrich This would have definitely been on my textbook list for my class this Spring if it had been out. Just make sure the book tour hits my area so you can sign it.
@KenMueller You'll definitely receive a signed copy.
@ginidietrich aw, thank you!
YEAH! Congrats, can't wait to get in on my Kindle!
@sydcon_mktg Um, I can't sign the copy on your Kindle. How does that work these days? I'll have to sign a post-it note that you can put on the cover of your Kindle while you read it.
@ginidietrich@sydcon_mktg Hmm. interesting. I wonder what this whole digital thing means to the book collectors and rare book market.
@KenMueller@ginidietrich I had never thought of that. I like having all my books at my finger tips in my bag, especially while at kids activities, as well as sparring some trees!
@sydcon_mktg@KenMueller It is an interesting discussion. Look at ReadItFor.me that gives you adult-version Cliff's Notes. What does that mean for book sales? It's great that many people get exposed to your message, but they don't buy the book.
I LOVE having my books at my fingertips, especially when I travel. As a consumer, it's fantastic. As a soon-to-be author, I don't know how I feel about it.
@ginidietrich@sydcon_mktg Same thing with Spotify for music. There are a lot of little ripples from this whole interwebs thing
@KenMueller@sydcon_mktg Yeah, great point. BUT the thing I like about Spotify is they pay the artists based on how many times the song is played. So they still win.
@ginidietrich Or, I can make an exception & get a hard copy for sentimental purposes!
Nice!!! congrats Gini!!!!
@bryanwillmert Thank you! Bears.
@ginidietrich Im excited to read it!! It looks good.. 🙂 #BEARS #high5
Well, look at you…just LOOK at YOU! Who would have ever thought someone who wears their clothes backwards and cheers for the Bears could grow up to be so successful! You go Gin Gin!
@DallasKincaid I think when people picture "success" there is NOT a photo of me. Perhaps I'll have to learn how to put my clothes on the right way now?
One word: Congratulations!
@mollyblock Thank you, Molly!
Congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment, and one you should be proud of. Most people on this planet talk about writing their book, but never take action to do so. You and Geoff should be very proud of the fact that you've walked your talk. Bravo and congrats! Kaarina
@KDillabough You know what I love about you? You always repeat what my mom says. And I ignore her because she's supposed to say those things. But I have to listen to you. Unless she's paying you??
@ginidietrich No, she is not paying me so I'm DELIGHTED that you have to listen to me, haha! Besides, I only speak the truth…always:) Love U right back:)
Go, Gini! Go Geoff! You've always been so smart and generous here on Spin Sucks. I was wondering when you were going to offer your wisdom in a book. Now we know! Congrats! Looking forward to May.
@Katjaib Ah! Thank you!! Now if I could just beat you at WWF.
Now if I could just write a book! @ginidietrich
Wait! Did you just publicly admit that I am kicking your butt at WWF?!!!! What a sweet day this is! @ginidietrich
Congrats to you both. Excited to get my hands on a copy.
@Sean McGinnis No copy for you!
Congrats G squared! Can't wait to read this.
@John Falchetto Thanks John! Six more months. And then it's here!
Excellent! Two of my favorite people, joining forces to produce only one book for me to pretend to read!
(seriously, congrats to both of you.)
@Ike I'm OK with you pretending to read it. As long as you have a copy.
Congratulations to you both! And enjoy the feeling of seeing your name on Amazon…my goodness, you should be allowed that feeling without calling yourself a douchecanoe. We're not that cool!
@EricaAllison Thank you! It's not big rosy cheeks like a certain little person, but I'll take it.
I can text someone who can see theit name listed on Amazon. Somehow I just gained 400 cool points. #WINNING
@ryancox Right, because in the end…this really is all about you Ryan 🙂
@LauraPetrolino@ryancox What Laura said.
Wow this is awesome. Congrats to you both. I CAN'T WAIT to read it!!

@SocialMediaDDS You crack me up! Thank you!
Rock on. G to the power of 2! And @ginidietrich are you kidding me, of course you should celebrate each milestone. If you don't who will? I am really excited about this, because it IS time to move social out of the sandbox. I learned 2 days ago that the first SMS was sent 19 years ago. 19 years!!!
@manamica Has it really been that long?! Isn't that strange? It doesn't feel like it was that long ago.
Will you be doing a webinar for $47?
Congrats, guys, good to see two smart folks join forces.

No SMART remarks here Gini…
I'm very excited to read this and provide you with exhaustive feedback 🙂
@danielnewmanUV What?! I hardly know what to do with a non-smart remark.
I'm a proud tweep, Gin Blossom and Geoff. Congrats in spades; can't wait to review.
@Soulati | PR Thanks, love!
Gini, I'm excited for you! This is something we talk about at work…will be purchasing for sure. Congratulations!
@jennwhinnem That's what I like to hear! YAY!
Passing this link along to some folks I'm working with – looking forward to the read!
@iBusinessBrain Thank you!!
Congrats! I know it will be awesome and can't wait to buy it. Put me on your list for a blog interview or guest post once you're in book launch stage!
@maddiegrant You're already on the list. Bwahahaha!
I was going to say something nice but Gini wouldn't recognize me if i did that! Really excited for the book and by May I will be able to afford it! 🙂
@NancyD68 I would have no idea what to do if you said something nice.
I just thought of something….won't it be awesome when @ginidietrich and @geoffliving 's book is featured on a #FollowFriday book review on other people's blogs? Turnabout is always fair play.
@SocialMediaDDS I was going to say, wouldn't it be a bit narcissistic to feature the book on my own blog. But then you said "other people's blogs."
@ginidietrich@SocialMediaDDS *taps Gini on shoulder* Dear, you did just feature your book on your own blog! Silly!
@NancyD68@SocialMediaDDS I meant as a #FF, silly.
@ginidietrich@SocialMediaDDS I will review your book and maybe it will be on a Friday!
I think this oughta be a scratch 'n' sniff book. or pop up. or both.
@KenMueller I think Ken is on to something here. I also might like a part where we have to put on 3-D glasses!
@LauraPetrolino@KenMueller I'll see what I can do for both of you.
Congratulations! I'm looking forward to reading it.
@wendyroan Thank you!
Now you need to come up with a song that can be sung in rounds. Seriously. Congrats, G+G!
@Shonali Oh trust me. Once Geoff gets started with the creativity, I'm pretty sure that will happen.
Cool! Congrats, Gini and Geoff!
@Neicolec Thank you! xoxo
@bdorman264 It's like a three-legged stool that needs a fourth leg and, without it, you can't really sit on the stool.
And I will do anything for you. Except be seen in public with you.
@ginidietrich Yes, you do have a professional image to maintain……I do have a couple of disguises I can try out if necessary however………
@bdorman264 Oh! A disguise is perfect.
I love this sentence:
"The challenge is no longer how to incorporate social into the marketing programs, but how to move social out of the sand box, and into a role that fits within larger marketing context."You go girl. Ordering mine as soon as I leave this blog.You are singlehandedly responsible for me ignoring my own tasks for at least 2 hours per week. This book will be added to that list of hours I am ignoring my email inbox. Thank you!
@AmyMccTobin I am a big advocate of ignoring email!
Congratulations. It sounds great.
@TheJackB Thanks! Maybe Dear Abbey can do a nice little Q&A on it.
@ginidietrich She and her sister are gearing up for Chanukah but I am sure that they can find some time for you.
@TheJackB That's what I like to hear. Er, read.
Thrilled for you both. 🙂
@Marcus_Sheridan Thank you, Teeth!
Douchcanoe. I just got my morning coffee in my nose.
That's awesome Gini! Super excited for you and I look forward to reading it 🙂
@Maranda LOL! I can't believe you're the first one to mention that here. I did that for the coffee spitting purpose.
And you're sure you want me to review this?
@JayDolan I DEFINITELY want you to review it. If only to keep my ego in check.
@ginidietrich But what about Geoff's ego? Is his ego fair game?
Congratulations! I look forward to reading it!
@Collectual Thank you!!
Congrats! Looks fantastic!
@ShellyKramer Thank you! I saw your DD yesterday. She's awesome.
Gsquared it is…
@faybiz I was hoping you'd see this!
Fan-frickin-tastic! Can't wait to read it!
@MikeSchaffer LOL!! I hope it's fan-frickin-tastic!
Congrats! What an amazing accomplishment. And props to you for including the word douchecanoe. On a similar note, I heard the phrase "ass-douchery" this weekend. Okay, I just realized I should be commending you and I keep talking about douches. My apologizes.
@KarenARocks It's OK, Karen. We approve here.
Congrats! Best wishes on this milestone. Happy Marketing, Heidi Cohen
@HeidiCohen Thanks Heidi!
@Tinu You know what's funny? We found, through our research, smaller companies are worse at integration than bigger companies. We found they tend to be more protective of their silos so they can keep their jobs, especially at start-ups. I found that to be really interesting because my experience with small business is the same as yours.
Can't wait to read this amazing book, Gini!
Also, I must commend you on the usage of "douchecanoe" in your post. 😉
@jacque_PR Thank you very much. I was quite proud of myself for getting it in there.

Junior is an unlikely hero: an intense, impoverished, moody nerd of an outsider who dates the prettiest girl at school.
But Junior, the Native American narrator of this year's One Book, One Philadelphia selection, Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, would not be half as dynamic, half as alive - half as animated - without Seattle-based cartoonist Ellen Forney's 65 illustrations, doodlings, comic panels, and assorted visual asides that enrich Alexie's National Book Award-winning novel.
After all, Junior, who is growing up on a reservation in Washington state, is an aspiring cartoonist who deals with his cultural and racial identity crisis - not to mention puberty - through his art.

If you have two or more separate companies, and you are tracking them in separate QuickBooks Desktop company files, you have some options for producing reports that combine data from all of your companies.
QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions (QBES) has a built in feature to combine:
If you need any other combinations, use Option 1 or Option 2 below.
Pro and Premier do not have the functionality to combine reports. You must use either Option 1 or Option 2 below.
QuickBooks for Mac does not have the feature to combine reports, nor does it work with the Marketplace programs. You must use Option 2 below.
There are several things you need to know before you try to combine reports:
Accounts at different levels (For example, "Telephone" account is not combined with "Telephone" sub-account.).
Spelling differences (For example, 'telephone' is not combined with 'phone.')
Different account numbers.
One with an account number and one without an account number.
The Intuit web site Intuit Marketplace lists many programs that work with QuickBooks. Some of these programs produce combined reports from multiple company data files.

Wales uncovers collection of Rare Hideaways
This week sees the launch of an exclusive range of luxury self-catering properties in Wales called Rare Hideaways. The extraordinary collection of properties has been collated by the Welsh Rarebits stable.
The collection – with properties accommodating from 2 to 18 people – includes barn conversions, traditional miners' cottages, converted watermills, windmills and grand country houses.
The selection options on the website allows the user to quickly identify specific requirements for a property, for example; a swimming pool or hot tub, child friendliness, coastal or rural location, historical importance, pets welcome, and local gastronomy, to name just some.
The programme also has a section on things to do in Wales, including details for walking, cycling and fishing, plus a listing of food festivals taking place throughout the year.
Rare Hideaways is the latest venture from Welsh Rarebits*, established over 25 years ago and now widely regarded as the quintessential guide to the best hotels in Wales with quality, hospitality, gastronomy and value for money at its core.
Comments Emyr Griffiths, Founder of Welsh Rarebits: "We were asked several years ago why we didn't include upmarket self-catering properties in the Rarebits family and the answer back then was that they simply weren't good enough.
"But in recent years standards have risen dramatically in the Welsh tourism market and we have travelled the country visiting hundreds of properties before settling on this priceless collection of gems.
"And self-catering needn't mean picking up the key from under the doormat and being left to your own devices; that vital all-important element of hospitality that plays such a part in Welsh Rarebits continuing success – is also present in Rare Hideaways, with owners going that extra mile to look after their guests – a chef and catering staff can even be brought in if you're planning a special event. We hope you enjoy discovering them as much as we did."
Here are some examples of some special Rare Hideaways:
The Windmill (http://www.rarehideaways.co.uk/
Historic, Grade II Star-listed Llanfendigaid Estate (http://www.rarehideaways.co.uk/
Hall Farm Barn (http://www.rarehideaways.co.uk/
To receive a free copy of the new Rare Hideaways brochure visit www.rarehideaways.co.uk.
*The Rarebits collection also includes Great Little Places, a collection of smaller hotels, inns and guest houses. Continuing the theme that has proven so successful, Welsh Rarebits launched an online shop in 2012 – www.gourmetwales.co.uk (http://www.gourmetwales.co.uk/)

Time better than a careless lover
A caring friend is thousand
Time better than a careless lover
Making a million friends is not a miracle.
THe miracle is to make a friend who will
stand by you when millions are against you
They are not your friends
until they defend you in
your absence.
Good times
Crazy friends
Amazing memories
0nce an ordinary wrist watch asked to the Rolex watch !!
whats the difference between us?
Rolex smiled n said
You show the time TO the person n
I show the time OF the person….!
A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
Friendship is not something you learn in school.
But if you have not learned the meaning of friendship,
you really havent learned anything.
Dont walk behind me;
I may not lead.
Dont walk in front of me;
I may not follow.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Skip to comments.Unbelievable: Chick-Fil-A Caves To Pressure From Chi Alderman, Will No Longer Fund Trad Marriage
Posted on 09/20/2012 2:04:45 PM PDT by NYer
All that support we gave them (setting a one-day sales record) and this is how they repay us? Caving in so they could open a single store in Chicago.
Via Washington Times:
Chick-fil-A stopped funding traditional-marriage groups in an effort to open a new Chicago restaurant, but the company initially kept quiet about the decision, prompting gay rights groups to speculate that the company feared a backlash from conservative customers.
The Christian-rooted fast food restaurant agreed to stop funding groups such as Focus on the Family that oppose same-sex marriage in a meeting with the Chicago politician who had been blocking the companys move there. Chick-fil-A wrote a letter to Alderman Joe Moreno affirming this, according to his spokesman, Matt Bailey, but the company initially wouldnt allow his office to release the letter to the public. Three weeks later they relented.
There was concern from them, said Anthony Martinez, executive director for the Civil Rights Agenda, the Illinois lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender group that negotiated with both Chick-fil-A and the alderman to stop funding for so-called anti-gay groups. They really didnt want to announce it, really, but, of course, the alderman needed to clarify why he was changing his stance on them opening a restaurant within his ward.
Chick-fil-A did not returns requests for comment, and has previously said it will not discuss the issue with the media.
Mr. Martinez said Chick-fil-A told the alderman they will no longer fund groups that support traditional marriage through their charity arm, the WinShape Foundation, and will instead use that money toward educational programs and food donations.
The WinShape Foundations is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas, Chick-fil-A wrote in the letter.
"Because youre gullible."
...blow it out your barracks bag! They caved because of pressure from franchisees. They should stick to their guns that the press took everything out of context and they stand by their position. If not for any other reason than to return the massive support they received from conservatives.
I've never seen so many gullible (stupid?) Freepers in one thread.
I am so dissapointed, pardon my french.
Unless Holder's boys threatened them or something behind the scenes....
That would be the only thing I would forgive at this point...
Source? Link?
Wow.. I just had one of their sandwiches a half-hour ago. I've been stopping there a couple times a week for lunch ever since the company showed the guts to stand up for common decency and traditional American values.
No more. I am done with them.
Chick-fil-A should have seen that they were onto something when millions of normal Americans showed support with their wallets and their appetites.
Traditional marriage is a "political agenda"??
Drop dead, Chick-fil-A.
As the first self-appointed Chic-fil-A-merican I am going to reserve judgement.
Otherwise,consider other businesses like McD's or Wal-mart and the hoops they go through to survive the lefty loonytoons.
Its nuts what these folks have to put up with.
You have just earned the prestigious Nail on Head award.
I just hope some of these hand wringers sober up and listen to what you had to say.
Sheesh, sometimes I think a lot of freepers are as dumb as demoKaRATZ.
Catch a word or two of rumor, and off they run: "the sky is falling, the sky is falling, Oh Woe Is Us."
Dumber than a box of rox.
Chik Fil A has basically said that they won't not support their usual charities. Now, if you understand what I just said, you get a COOKIE!
RATZ are too stupid to know they been played like a cheap fiddle. It's called critical thinking. RATZ don't have it. It's disappointing that so many freepers fall in the same category.
And they did this so they cold open just ONE store in Chicago. Talk about compromising your values.
Touche, Dan Cathy. Every intelligent person knows that marriage isn't a "political agenda."
What the sodomites are angry about are the "marriage seminars" that WinShape sponsors. Now, they'll think that WinShape doesn't sponsor these anymore.
What loons.
And above it all, remember that Romney, when asked where he stood on Chick-fil-A's statement supporting marriage, said, "That not part of my campaign."
Way to go, Mittens.
I humbly accept your award.
Bottom line, their statement is too ambiguous. We should ask to see what groups their organization is donating to now. Are they the same groups that the homosexual lobby was complaining about or have those been dropped from the list?
They didn't quash anything. Chick Fil-A chose to cave to sodomites, and that's the disgrace.
Hope I don't have to give up their chocolate chip cookies.
And they have been so sneaky about it none of the news channels are even covering it, not even Fox News. Maybe I'll write Huckabee and asked him did they cave. I'll tell him if they did, all Christians should boycott Chick Fil-A, because they have made a mockery not only out of his support but the support that thousands and thousands gave them a month ago.
Bait and switch, don't believe the reporting its meant to piss you off.
Cathy will continue to support who ever he wants FUChicago
I bet the executives, including Kathy Truett, will step up their donations.
Thanks for the link.
Mine too.
Due to posting constraints, could not post the entire title which read "Will no longer fund Traditional Marriage Groups. Apologies for any confusion.
The people screaming LOON and worse at fellow Freepers on this thread are, I suspect, the very same people who contend that Mitt Romney is winning this election by a landslide.
If even Freepers fall victim to media disinformation so easily, there's no hope left other than for Jesus pulling the plug soon.
They were clear that they are pro-family.
Evil people are spinning their response to mean that they are no longer anti-gay.
You're free to believe what you want, of course. But Chick-fil-A has remained true to their convictions, and will continue to support pro-family, pro-marriage causes.
May you learn from your hasty judgments. Please. We FReepers need to be wiser than the gay/Chicago/MSM smear campaigners.
It's a business. It's called $$$.
Reality sucks.
Alternatively you wont see one place block them FOR this decision.
Looks like you were right. I was "gullible". I didn't even bother to see who wrote the piece of garbage claiming CFA stopped donations. It wouldn't have surprised me in the least if CFA had backed down. Refreshing that they didn't.
Thanks, Albie.
I sincerely mean no disrespect toward you personally. We're on the same side, concerned about our nation and its people. So thank you for your gracious reply to my frantic comments.
Yes, I'm aware of that. I thought it was pretty obvious.

Back in May, when President Bush landed on an aircraft carrier to announce the end of major combat activities in Iraq, he took pains to avoid declaring an end to the war against Iraq.
He said only that the "battle" in Iraq had been won. The war goes on.
This point is worth noting as analysts take note of the fact that more American service personnel have died since the end of major combat than those who died during the initial phase of the war.
More than 140 Americans have died since Saddam Hussein's regime fell, compared with 137 who died during "major" combat operations.
The war isn't over. It will continue until the United States, with the help of Great Britain and other allies, finishes the job of restoring order in Iraq. Militants continue to hit U.S. forces. Terrorists continue to lurk in dark recesses, striking out at so-called "soft targets," such as the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad.
No one in authority - not the president of the United States or anyone in his senior military command - has dared to suggest that the war is over.
Every death is a tragedy and all Americans want the killing of our young warriors to end. Let us not get caught up in any hype that these tragic occurrences are happening during some fabricated "post-war" period.
The war goes on.

When the train arrived in Chicago, his personal effects were found in his sleeper car, but Dowd was no where to be seen.
His family is concerned that he has become disorientated and may need medical attention
Ottumwa Police Lt. Tom McAndrews says O.P.D. has no reason to believe Dowd got off the train in Ottumwa, but it may be possible he did so.
If you have infomation on Dowd's whereabouts, please contact authorities or family at the numbers below.
Charles J. Dowd
Age: 69
Sex: Male
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Gray
Height: 5â??10â??
Weight: 175
Missing from Amtrak Train 6 from Emeryville, CA to Chicago, IL. He was last heard from on Thursday, September 13th at 6:30pm MST when he indicated he was on the train leaving Denver, CO. On Friday, September 14, 2012 when the train arrived in Chicago, IL Amtrak officials found his luggage, cell phone & medication in this sleeper car but there was no sign of Charlie. His family is concerned because he is potentially disoriented and may need medical attention.
Police are still confirming the possibility that Charlie may have also spoken with Amtrak conductors on two separate occasions: late Thursday evening and Friday early morning near Omaha, Nebraska. Sources say that when he spoke to the conductor on early Friday morning that Charlie was confused about his whereabouts and believed he was in an apartment, not on a train, and needed to find the front door. His family is concerned about his health and state of mind. It is urgent that Charles be located as soon as possible as he is under the care of a physician, and his medication was left on the train.
If you have seen Charles Dowd please contact Amtrak Police at (800) 331-0008 CASE# 12-010695 call his family (650) 766-6470 or (650)766-6570
