'The Game' Recap: 'Drink, Pray, Love' (5.06)
This week's The Game continues to pile on the drama for everyone involved, to the point where these once-beloved characters are becoming caricatures.
Malik is selling his huge mansion. Not because he's matured and realized he doesn't need it, but because it's another opportunity for him to be whinging and insisting there's nothing wrong with him. Now, this plot development would have made sense if it stood for something. But as we have to listen to "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday," it's hard to feel sympathetic for a guy who brought the situation on himself. We're supposed to feel bad for him because he's moving out of the mansion he's only been in for six months? When I know people losing their homes through no fault of their own, I just can't do it.
Near the episode's end, he has a moment of clarity ("This is my dream. I blew it," he says), but it's not the first time he's seemed to get it and then not gotten it, so I have to admit that I don't believe him anymore. I'll care about his character when he cares about someone other than himself.
Melanie thinks she and Derwin need a date night. "The only reason you want to go to Drop Bar is to mess around with Tasha," Derwin points out. "You already took the woman's fashion show. Isn't that enough?" But it isn't, as she drags him to the bar and starts mocking Tasha from the moment they walk in the door. "I don't even know who you are right now," Derwin tells her hours later as she's glaring at Tasha across an otherwise empty room like a bratty twelve-year-old. I've said it all season, but I think Melanie's fame has gone to her head, and there's very little left to like about her anymore.
Meanwhile, Jason shows up to work only to find out the network's hired an attractive female co-anchor for his show. Being that the show has his name in the title, he's understandably irritated, but that doesn't excuse the insult he unleashes on Summer (asking her if her great-grandmother "did porn in the 20's"). Chardonnay slaps some sense into him, reminding him that it would free him up to spend more time with his daughter, but Jason just points to his kid's "raging hormones." It's sad that the first time I think Chardonnay makes sense is another time I'm reminded that Jason has become a pretty delinquent parent.
Unfortunately, later on Chardonnay starts picking a bone with him, wanting to know how he's going to handle the situation. This finally makes him snap...but again, it would be more sincere if he'd actually do something to better things. Granted, I'll give him a pass on not dealing with his ex-wife since the actress is unavailable this season, but rather than complain about his kid, he could try being a father. If he's worried about his job, perhaps it's not a good idea to insult the people he knows he's going to have to work with. Yes, he feels threatened so he might be a jerk, but to ask someone if their great-grandmother was a pornographic actress is an exceptionally low blow, even for him.
I hate to belabor the point, but this is the same problem, in a different episode. We've taken a tremendously likeable cast - I've interviewed half of them and found them all to be lovely people - and saddled them with characters that are just not people I want to spend time with anymore. I used to think of these characters like friends, and now I'm not sure I want to be in the same room with them. But because this cast is so likeable, I'm going to hold onto the hope that they're going to come back to the characters we know and love sooner rather than later.

Committee that Cleared Waters Chastises Panel
9/25/2012, 1:02 p.m.
The substitute House Ethics Committee that investigated California Rep. Maxine Waters for allegedly steering bailout money to a bank where her husband owns stock, has now pointed a finger at the panel that polices member wrongdoing.
Warnings from the substitute committee that was appointed in February, came by way of several recommendations on how the permanent panel should conduct itself.
Meanwhile, the committee recently announced that although the minority-owned OneUnited Bank received $12 million in bailout funds, it found no evidence that Waters knowingly violated Congressional standards or rules.
All along, the 11-term Los Angeles area congresswoman who was exonerated following a three-year probe that may have cost taxpayers as much as $1.3 million, had repeatedly insisted her efforts were part of a broader push to help minority-controlled financial institutions during the banking crisis.

the mystery of neurocam
Neurocam. A billboard appears near a Melbourne freeway entrance inviting people to "Get out of their mind". "Those who follow the instructions on the neurocam website are assigned missions, with the threat of grave consequences should these tasks not be carried out. Individuals prove their mettle by completing progressively more complex, riskier assignments - possibly of questionable legality." from the Age article linked below. Is it an art project, a cult, a marketing ploy, a game or a psychological experiment? Neurocam says none of these. Melbourne's Age newspaper investigates (free reg sometimes req'd). You can also read some blogs from participants here and here. Plus it seems to have something to do with this place dealing in Human Possibility(TM), which makes as little sense as the rest of it. I'm such a cynic, I still think it is marketing something, but it is fairly extreme.

Outrageously Anti-Abortion
Sometimes it's all in the phrasing. The other day I read a mention of the annual Red Mass celebrated in Washington DC which quoted Justice Ginsburg's explanation of why she no longer attends (though Justice Breyer, also Jewish, attends). The quote in full:
"Before every session, there's a Red Mass," Ginsburg said. "And the justices get invitations from the cardinal to attend that. And a good number of the justices show up every year. I went one year, and I will never go again, because this sermon was outrageously anti-abortion."
Outrageously anti-abortion. Well.
[Doubtless necessary disclaimer: Yes, I'm aware that pro-life advocates sometimes express themselves so vehemently as to shroud the truth from those who might be persuadable. However, I don't picture Archbishop Wuerl as being such a person. ]
13 Responses to Outrageously Anti-Abortion
And I thought Cardinal DiNardo was being a bit too subtle. If only more Bps were outrageously anti-abortion.
I'd just consider that to be a compliment. 🙂
Justice Ginsburg is a joke. Her politics are 19th century racism combined with 20th century eugenics a la Margaret Sanger.
For her to be upset about the Mass means about zero to me.
Aside from my feelings towards that particular confused justice, I'm left wondering what causes some people to become outrageously pro-abortion. Something ugly must happen early in life to turn their heart so black.
I am wondering the same thing myself about Justice Ginsburg.
I should be clear: I like that we're called "outrageously anti-abortion". What shocking thing will she discover Catholics to be next? "appaulingly religious"? "ridiculously devout"?
"Exremely loving", "fundementally aware of our own failings", "severely respectful of legitimate authority", "outrageously seeking Justice", "radically forgiving", etc. etc.
Wow, those Catholics are just too extreme. We should become more lukewarm and mediocre so that we'll appeal to more people.
A little murder is OK. Rape-rape is bad, but plain old rape, hey that's just a choice. A mild amount of sodomy isn't really homosexual. Racism is bad especially against 'health-care reform', but eugenics is just.
Poor soul. She is obviously not Catholic, but can she even be considered Jewish? If I am not mistaken the Ten Commandments are the same in both Testaments, well, except they are more 'extremely' applied by that 'radical' Jesus of Nazareth.
I'd suspect that Ginsburg has herself had one or more abortions sometime in the past . . . this kind of highly defensive overreaction is usually the sign of someone who is trying to rationalize their own behavior.
Particularly distressing about Justice Ginsberg's various comments is this one:
"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn't really want them".
What amazes me is to hear from the mouth of Jewish women. She seems not to know which group was the special target of the German government in the 1930s. [I love the "we". Who is the "we"?
That's the statement that most sticks out in my mind.
It's interesting how the mainstream media never even mentioned this incident.
Gabriel: that was the first thing I thought of when I heard her use the word "outrageous."
Tito Edwards writes Tuesday, October 6, 2009 A.D. at 3:33
"That's the statement that most sticks out in my mind.
"It's interesting how the mainstream media never even mentioned this incident".
Now, now, mustn't blame the mainstream muddle. The comment appeared in the NYTimes.
Floating in the back of my mind is the Jewish question. Reading the Bible, reading the history of the Jews through the ages, it seems to me that the Jews are falling into the same error. From a highly religious small core, they relax into cooperation with the secular powers,

HIV Prevention and Testing > Am I Infected?
<< < (2/5) > >>
I guess I am just wondering why there is no risk involved...even with a possible transmission of blood.
First of all you never kissed anyone with profuse bleeding now did you? You had no risk. End of Story.
Andy Velez:
As I think you would agree kissing is one of the most common activities before, during and after sex. We'd have known longer before today if there was any risk.Theoretically anything other than sex with your own hand on yourself is potentially risky. In the real world of HIV, transmission just doesn't happen through kissing. As Hunter mentioned, your saliva has an inhibitory element which protects you from transmission even IF the person you were with is HIV positive. The elements that would need to come together just don't happen via kissing. You can pick up lots of things from kissing but happily HIV isn't one of them. Really.
It was dark and I am not sure how much blood was present. Does this matter?
I am sorry to keep bothering you about this, but does the amount of blood in the mouth matter?

The Bank Dick, originally released theatrically in 1940, stars W.C. Fields, Shemp Howard, and Grady Sutton. Fields also wrote the screenplay under the pseudonym Mahatma Kane Jeeves.
Egbert Souse (Fields), the town drunk, spends most of his days at his favorite saloon, the Black Pussy Cat Café, in order to avoid his family and spend time with his friend Joe (Howard), the bartender. On his way home after one such outing, he inadvertently captures a bank robber. To show his appreciation for Souse's bravery, the President of the bank offers him a job as a bank dick, which he accepts. One afternoon at the Black Pussy Cat Café, Souse encounters a man selling stock in Beefsteak Mines. Convinced this is the opportunity of a lifetime, Souse has his daughter's boyfriend, Og (Sutton), a bank teller, borrow the necessary $500 from the bank in order to buy the stocks. Og intends to pay back the $500 as soon as he receives his bonus in four days; however, when the Bank Examiner comes to check the books, Souse has to find a way to distract him until Og can get the money.
I found The Bank Dick to have lots of funny moments as Souse bumbles through the town; however, there wasn't a lot of plot holding these moments together. The movie also seemed to be a bit on the short side, with a running time of only 72 minutes. The actors all do a terrific job with their roles, especially W.C. Fields.

TORONTO - Saskatchewan author Candace Savage's book about a lesser-known chapter of prairie settlement history has won the $60,000 Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction.
"A Geography of Blood: Unearthing Memory from a Prairie Landscape" (Greystone Books and the David Suzuki Foundation) landed the prize on Monday at a ceremony in Toronto, beating out four other finalists who each received $5,000.
Hilary Weston prize jury members described the winning book as "a part-memoir, part history, part geological survey, part lament, part condemnation of the accepted myth of the settlement of the Western Plains, and above all, a haunting meditation on time and place."
"A Geography of Blood" is also a semi-finalist for the $40,000 B.C. National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction. The finalists for that award will be announced Dec. 4.
The Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize is billed as the richest annual literary award for a book of non-fiction published in Canada.
This year's jury included writer and former lieutenant governor of Ontario James Bartleman, writer and past prize finalist Charlotte Gill, and writer and teacher Marni Jackson.
The other finalists were: Kamal Al-Solaylee for "Intolerable: A Memoir of Extremes"; Modris Eksteins with "Solar Dance: Genius, Forgery, and the Crisis of Truth in the Modern Age"; Taras Grescoe's "Straphanger: Saving Our Cities and Ourselves from the Automobile"; and JJ Lee for "The Measure of a Man: The Story of a Father, a Son, and a Suit."
The Alberta-born Savage, who splits her time between Saskatoon and Eastend, Sask., has written dozens of books and essays.
In 2004, her "Prairie: A Natural History" was named Book of the Year at the Saskatchewan Book Awards, and in 2010 she was inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
She also sits on the Saskatchewan board of the Nature Conservancy of Canada.

A linear equation can be represented as:
I can't understand these equations.
1 - In the case y=mx+b, what the y variable represents?
If m represent the slope, and b the place where the straight line crosses the yy axis, what the y means?
For example, m=1, x=2 and b=3:
What the number 5 means?
2 -
How can I draw a line in the graph that satisfies that Ax+By+C=0?
== Choose at least two different values for x and after plugging each of them in the equation find the corresponding values for y, this way you get two points on the line and you can join them with a straight line.
3 -
What's the purpose of the variable A, B and C?
== To determine the relation between the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of each point of the plane belonging to the line

It's been asked numerous times. Is there a difference between handbags and purses? Well, it depends on where you are from.
The British English meaning of "purse" is a coin purse, wallet, or pocketbook. If you're from England, you might carry a purse inside of a handbag.
The American English meaning of "purse" has become synonymous with "handbag" which means the term can describe all types of handbags including clutches, satchels, totes, hobos, and more.
So if you're in America, the answer is no, there is no difference between purses and handbags. If you're in the UK, the answer is yes.
Now I've seen several explanations as to why some in America say "purse" and others say "handbag". Rumor has it that men say "purse" more often than women, but I can't find any proof of that. Some speculate it has to do with age and generation, but I have heard both "handbag" and "purse" from people young and old. I have also read that some prefer to say "purse" when describing shoulder bags and "handbag" when describing bags carried by hand such as satchels and clutches.
I believe that the use of purse vs. handbag is simply a personal preference which is not necessarily tied to other factors like age or type of bag.
So which do you say? Comment on this post and let us know. I prefer handbag myself.

A Reminder that Whiteness is Not Benign: Of Warnings About White, Middle Class Domestic Terrorists in the U.S. and the Norway Massacre
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has repeatedly cautioned that Right-wing Conservative extremists would be among the groups most likely to commit an act of mass violence in the United States. Their most recent warnings have come in the form of a training tape which is part of the "See Something, Say Something" program. This production has garnered much attention as Conservatives are appalled at its seeming suggestion that the person most likely to conduct an act of domestic terrorism in the United States would be a middle class white person. In an eerie coincidence, days after the release of the video a white man in Norway committed an act of Right-wing, Christian Nationalist inspired domestic terrorism that killed 76 people. What was an apparent validation of the DHS's prophetic warnings. Each time I sat down to write something about the Norway Massacre and the DHS report, another American right-wing bloviator would produce a stupifying mouth utterance regarding the tragedy in Norway that would give me a moment of head-shaking pause. When they keep piling on, it is hard to produce something timely, as the target keeps on moving. I routinely listen to Right-wing talk radio in order to gather intelligence on the opposition. And as expected, their commentary on the Norway Massacre has followed a predictable script in which the responses by Beck, Levin, Savage, Cunningham, et al. are, as always, no less detached from reality. In their land of make believe, Anders Behring was a liberal, he was not a Christian, and any effort to link him to the faith is an intentional smear of the Judeo-Christian community. And funny if it were not so tragic, the Right-wing deploys the same arguments used by liberal critics of profiling in the case of racial minorities, to defend themselves against such an "injustice." And of course, Rush Limbaugh is doing a dance where he connects all evil in the world, here being the soul searching that Norwegians are doing in the aftermath of the Anders Behrings' murder spree, to President Obama because he is "an enabler" of terrorism and an "America hater." The reaction to the Department of Homeland Security's warnings about Right-wing violence and the "See Something, Say Something" program is powerful not because of the obvious: Given the seditious political atmosphere ginned up by the Tea Party GOP in the Age of Obama would such worries about domestic terrorism really be that unexpected or surprising? Rather, the response by the New Right to the Department of Homeland Security's initiatives is a damning reveal of the myopia of Whiteness and Conservatism...to the degree that in the American political and social context, the two can be separated from one another. If the very same warnings had been issued about Muslim Americans, a member of a different racial minority group, or even "liberals," the Right would have jumped to defend the report as necessary and to be heeded in a time of terror. There would hearings on the matter. Following the logic of the Right-wing playbook, only traitors would boo hoo about racial profiling and the trampling of their Constitutional rights. If you have nothing to hide why be so fearful? The Right's reaction to the DHS and the Norway Massacre speak to an additional pathology of Whiteness. The shock and awe by racism deniers and white victimologists, that a white person, a white middle class man especially, would ever be a priori suspect of a crime is a mirror for the gross narcissism of the White Soul. Whiteness never imagines itself as anything other than benign, kind, non-threatening, wholesome, and good. Criminals and terrorists are "those people." Whiteness sees itself as perennially decent, moral, and just. By definition, Whiteness can never be the stuff of terrorism, threat, or violence. As Toni Morrison so sharply argues in Playing in the Dark: Whiteness in the Literary Imagination, Whiteness and White people have been sources of terror for black and brown people, both here and around the world. For many, the White Man is a frightening thing; he is to be run from; he brings death and destruction; the bogeyman is not some amorphous figure, historically he was a white man brandishing a gun or whip, wearing the colors of Imperial Power, the hood of the Grand Cyclops, or donning a business suit and carrying an ID for the World Bank. The White Man's Burden was never benign...regardless of how it was framed and mythologized. Moreover, in the American experience it is verboten and anathema to call attention to the fact that the largest terrorist group in the history of the United States was the Ku Klux Klan, a civil society organization that killed thousands of African Americans and others in its one hundred plus year reign of terror. It is equally inconvenient to call to light that white people have systematically terrorized people of color (the genocide against our indigenous brothers and sisters; the slaveocracy; Jim and Jane Crow; racial pogroms in cities such as Tulsa and East St. Louis) in the pursuit of the psychological and material wages of Whiteness, and that the Racial State's reign of terror was a central feature of American democracy, and not an aberration from it. Whiteness finds this hard if not impossible to process. Many white folks, however benign or good or otherwise socially progressive, often have a hard time accepting that White people are perceived as dangerous by many of their fellow Americans. Liberals and others may respond to such realities with cultivated guilt and shame; Conservatives respond with rage, pleading feigned victimhood, and denial. In these matters, I am left grappling with a set of meta level questions. Although they are an ocean apart, are the white terrorists, the McVeighs, the Tides shooter, the Hutaree militia, the Birther Tea Party 9/12 party political thugs and seditionists, part of the same collective political subconscious, an outgrowth of the same ether and spirit of an age? Is the right-wing echo chamber in the United States, with its eliminationist "commonsense" notions that liberals are a disease to be destroyed, a cousin to the echoes and chorus which fueled the Norway Massacre? Ultimately, are Anders Behring and the white middle class domestic terrorists that the Department of Homeland Security has warned the American people about a function of the same pathological Whiteness?

Mayfield Infrared Electric Fireplace Med
By Terry
from DrexeHill Pa
Very easy to use. Great gathering peace for people to be around. Not to heave but a great design. Adds character to the living room. On really cold nights it will take the chill off the room after about an hour of use. In my opinion you get more than your moneys worth for look's and the use out of it. I have used it for 10 degree nights for a short time and that was all that was needed. My electric bill when used on and off for a month didn't go up a lot.

Driving Skills for Life Cruises Into Middle Tennessee With 'Ride-and-Drive' for Teens
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Vehicle crashes remain the number one killer of teenagers in America, including 145 in Tennessee in 2005, according to the most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. To help reduce teen deaths, Ford Motor Company Fund and the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) are bringing the national Driving Skills for Life program to the Nashville area with a hands-on "ride-and-drive" event Thursday-Friday, April 19-20, at Manheim's Nashville Auto Auction in Mt. Juliet.
More than 300 students from high schools across four Tennessee counties will hone their driving skills on challenging road courses under the supervision of a team of professional instructors. More than 300 teens from high schools in Davidson, Rutherford, Sumner and Wilson counties will be participating in the event. Morning sessions for groups of 75 begin at 8:30 a.m. and run to 12:30 p.m., and afternoon sessions are from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. The event will be held rain or shine.
Nearly 7,000 teens die annually in automobile crashes in the United States. Studies demonstrate that crash rates decline considerably as young drivers gain experience behind the wheel. Driving Skills for Life helps young drivers improve their skills in four key areas that are critical factors in more than 60 percent of teen vehicle crashes:
- Hazard Recognition
- Vehicle Handling
- Space Management
- Speed Management
"Ford is committed to its ongoing efforts to educate people about all aspects of safe driving," said Jim Vella, president of Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services, the philanthropic arm of Ford Motor Company. "We look forward to championing those communities who support Ford's innovative auto-safety programs, including our teen-focused program, Driving Skills for Life."
Added Kendell Poole, Director, Tennessee Governor's Highway Safety Office: "This is an unbelievable opportunity for our high school students to have access to a program of this caliber. We are excited about Driving Skills for Life because our teenagers of today are our adult drivers of tomorrow. Creating good habits now will equip them to endure the challenges of the road in future years."
Also supporting the event is Westfield Insurance, whose president, Roger McManus, said: "Safe driving is everyone's responsibility.

It seems that the title to the upcoming third Transformers film may have been inadvertently revealed. Apparently some folks have spotted listings on Amazon (which have since been removed) for various Transformers books, all under the banner of Transformers: The Dark of the Moon. While there's not a thing about this idea that is confirmed, it is possible that these were prematurely-listed tie-in books which were graced with the 2011 film's yet-to-be-announced title. Yet, as shooting still commences, the film that may or may not be called "The Dark of the Moon" is apparently filling the cast with extremely positive vibes. In a recent interview with MTV, star Shia LaBeouf recently went on record saying with intense enthusiasm, that it was "the best movie we've made of the three by far." Is director Michael Bay ready to redeem what was generally considered a sub-par sequel in Revenge of the Fallen?
As LaBeouf explains in a noticeably joyous outburst:
"This is, and I'm not just BS-ing you, it's the best movie we've made of the three by far, the script is the best script we've had. The second movie, we were in the middle of a writers' strike, writing on the go. The first movie, we had the discovery, and this movie really is the fruition of the rhythm we've created out of five years working together. I'm super proud of this movie."
In fact, the sentiment was echoed by co-star Josh Duhamel, who said that it's "every bit as good, if not better than, the first two."
While director Michael Bay has already implied that this will be the last film in the series, LaBeouf would also reiterate that, despite the pride behind this film, it will definitely be his last outing with Transformers. According to LaBeouf: "There's no more for me, at least. I'm never going to do it again."
Bay has admitted much of what went wrong with Revenge of the Fallen, attributing it to the Writers Guild Strike of 2007-2008 throwing the timing of the production off, resulting in a rushed job. Given how, among other things, the heralded second season of Heroes was so dramatically affected by that event, I'm inclined to believe him. It will certainly be interesting to see how he builds up to what he refers to as the series' "final crescendo" with a much more focused script. (And a really hot Victoria's Secret model taking Megan Fox's spot.) If we were to take the cast enthusiasm along with the inclusion of classic fan favorite Shockwave as the main villain, we might find ourselves rendered less incredulous.
So, how do you feel the third Transformers film is shaping up? Are you getting pumped to once again see cool cars transform into giant robots that stomp the world into oblivion amidst the background of signature Michael Bay CG explosions? Of course you are!

Here Comes the Wedding Season
Wedding services expo and bridal fashion show
The Arthur Murray Grande Ballroom of Greenwich, named #1 on theknot.com for wedding-dance lessons in the state, announced today that it will hold a wedding expo and fashion show later this month to mark the upcoming wedding season and to showcase its wedding-related dances along with the town's A-List services vendors.
The expo will take place from 12-3 pm on April 28 and will feature a champagne bridal brunch and a fashion show for bridal gown, maid of honor, and mother of bride and groom styles. It will include wedding wear from exclusive lines such as Fontana Couture, Richards of Greenwich and Saks Fifth Avenue.
The Arthur Murray Grande Ballroom of Greenwich, known for promoting movement and dance across Fairfield County and Upper Westchester as a fun and exciting way to stay vibrant and healthy.
But The Grande Ballroom does much more than provide dance lessons and demonstrate techniques to prospective brides and grooms. The studio's wedding specialists meet with each couple to discuss wedding details, including details of the bridal gown, custom routines for the first dance as well as dances with mothers and fathers, and bridal party group dances for the reception.
Christine Georgopulo, owner and president of Arthur Murray Grande Ballroom of Greenwich, says her wedding specialists tailor dances to the tone, location, dance-floor size, dress feel and bridal song. The Ballroom's wedding routines include many exciting dance styles, such as traditional Ballroom, Merengue, Cha Cha, Salsa, Jitterbug and Samba.
"Our expo is a great way to learn how we can help you to personalize your wedding so you can enjoy it in a style that suits you and your celebration best," Georgopulo says. "If you have the time to go to only one wedding expo for your big night, make it ours. It's the only place you'll find the best of what the cream of Connecticut's wedding service providers have to offer brides all at the same time."
To add to the excitement that every soon-to-be-married bride and groom feels, the expo will feature auctions, raffles, and giveaways for each participating couple.
Couples will have plenty of time to sample the best of what Greenwich has to offer. The expo will include food from local favorites L'escale for fine dining and Sweet Lisa's Exquisite Cakes for dessert. Participants in the expo can also sample photographers such as Sarah Geiger Photography, florists such as McArdle's and printers including Therese Saint Clair.
Couples interested in a wedding registry can meet with Hoagland's representatives. Also on hand will be Delamar Greenwich Harbor luxury hotel, Horseneck Wine, Greenwich Girl, Amy Churchill Hair Stylist, All About the Presentation favors and gifts providers, and James Daniel Music, Entertainment, A/V, and Lighting.
The Arthur Murray Grande Ballroom of Greenwich CT is located at 6 Lewis Street, in downtown Greenwich.

By Clarence Plank: PNT staff writer
A committee representing several community entities is looking into purchasing the massive Dalley collection of windmills to keep the eclectic local attraction together and in Portales.
Bill and Alta Dalley recently contacted the Chamber of Commerce about passing the windmills on to the city for generations to enjoy long after they are gone.
"I'm 78 now, I'm getting a little old to climb windmills," Dalley said. "We've been collecting windmills, since 1980. We would like to keep them in this area because we've had lots of people to come by or look us up just to visit."
Dalley has more than 80 windmills in his collection, most given to him by people in the community over the years. Dalley, who is retired, builds and repairs the windmills as a hobby.
Dalley said some communities spread windmills out across the town. But Dalley believes they are more attractive and artistic if bunched together in one location.
"I think it will be an attraction for the city…they have been for us," Dalley said.
Chamber of Commerce Director Sharon King said a chamber committee wants to develop a master plan to assist in applying for grants to help purchase and set up the windmills.
"We're working with the city to come up with a aerial shot of the windmills," King said. "So people can get a visual and see what we are talking about."
The committee is made up of two members from the chamber, and one each from Roosevelt County, Eastern New Mexico University, the city, local businesses and the community.
King said she and Nicole Wilkinson will be taking inventory and taking pictures of the windmills in the near future.

My children are in elementary school now, but not so long ago I thought I'd never see the day where my kids were getting in and out of a car and bucking their seat belts on their own. That day has come, and what better reward for myself than a test-drive of the 2011 Audi Q5?
The Q5 is a small, zippy SUV that's not your typical family hauler and will deftly handle any task thrown at it in your daily life. However, it's not a good fit for families that need a large cargo area. With older kids, I don't need to have a cargo area the size of Texas.
The Q5's 211-horsepower four-cylinder engine was turbocharged for fun and power, reminding me I'm allowed to have fun now. The Tiptronic automatic transmission comes with not six, not seven, but eight speeds.
The five-seater handled various suburban workloads with vigor. It nimbly cornered parking lot medians and accelerated respectfully when I zipped around to grab a much-coveted parking spot. If I'd wanted to valet the Q5, I would have done so with my head held high.
I think my biggest surprise with the Q5 was the price. The base model starts at $35,200. My base test car, the Q5 2.0T Premium, had a panoramic moonroof and some other niceties like an iPod/USB port that bumped the price up to $39,450.
The Q5 will get you noticed in the school drop-off lane, mostly because it's so small. Its luxurious looks help, too. If you get the A5 with the optional xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, which are part of the $4,200 Premium Plus Package, it definitely stands out in a crowd and says "I'm an Audi!" That's not a bad thing. I also loved the standard LED taillights, which add an aggressive look to the back end of the Q5.
Younger kids might require extra help getting in and out of the Q5 because the door handles are placed a little higher than on a sedan and the step-up height is higher, too. It's not atypical of any vehicle you'd be looking at in the SUV category, though. Despite its sloping rear roofline, there won't be head-bonking when putting kids in their child-safety seats.
The base model has a 211-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine that gets 20/27 mpg city/highway and uses premium gas. I have a lead foot when a fun car is present, so I visited the gas station frequently in this car.
Family Friendly (Not Really, Fair, Great, Excellent): Great
Fun-Factor (None, Some, Good Times, Groove-On): Groove-On
The Q5's interior is a classic example of having everything you need and nothing you don't. It's neat and tidy, with a black interior and aluminum and wood accents.
Here again, the Q5 makes me happy with its size. The seats are comfortable, and everything is within easy reach. The Q5 has Audi's MMI multimedia system, which handles everything from seat heat to stereo settings. These systems all have their quirks, and Audi's is no exception. My main complaint — it's a small one, but persistent since my first experience with Audi's system — is when you turn MMI's knob controller to scroll up and down, turning the knob to the right scrolls up and turning to the left scrolls down. It's counterintuitive to me.
While there are cupholders in the Q5, there are just four of them. There's a purse hook on the front passenger's side and a little cargo net for a gadget or two. The center console is deep and can handle a bunch of CDs (are you still carrying those around?). There's also an MP3 jack and iPod/USB input in the glove box.
There was good legroom in the backseat, and the kids loved the panoramic moonroof. Cupholders come out of the end of the armrest. It pops out with the push of a plastic button and then tucks back in when you're finished using it. I love the stowable part of it, but I would probably worry how well it would hold up if you have aggressive toddlers using it. Yes, I just said "aggressive toddlers." You get my point.
The cargo area is a decent size, so a load of groceries fits fine in it. However, a trip to a warehouse store that involved a mega pack of toilet paper and a few more bulky items bested the Q5's rear space. Fortunately the second-row seats are simple to fold down, and they even lock into place.
Storage Compartments (Puny, Fair, Ample, Galore): Fair
Cargo/Trunk Space (Puny, Fair, Ample, Galore): Fair
The 2011 Q5 has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn this safety nod, a car must receive the top score of Good in frontal-offset, side-impact, rear and roof-strength crash tests. A car also must have electronic stability system, which is standard on the Q5.
The Q5 also has standard Quattro all-wheel drive, four-wheel-disc antilock brakes with brake assist, traction control and six airbags, including side curtain airbags for both rows. Optional safety features include rear side airbags ($350), front and rear parking sensors and a backup camera.
The Q5 proves itself to be a family-friendly vehicle with its two sets of easily accessible Latch anchors. All my child-safety seats — rear-facing infant-safety seat, convertible seat and booster seat — fit well in the Q5.

Skip to comments.Jesse Jackson Jr. resigns
Posted on 11/21/2012 2:55:04 PM PST by mandaladon
Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned his seat in Congress on Wednesday, acknowledging an ongoing federal investigation into his campaign funds and expressing a desire to be remembered for what he "did right."
Text from Jackson's resignation letter, submitted on Wednesday to House Speaker John Boehner:
During this journey I have made my share of mistakes. I am aware of the ongoing federal investigation into my activities and I am doing my best to address the situation responsibly, cooperate with the investigators, and accept responsibility for my mistakes, for they are my mistakes and mine alone. None of us is immune from our share of shortcomings or human frailties and I pray that I will be remembered for what I did right.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I see another Obama Executive Order being issued to take care of Jackson.
He resigned alright. Just before he gets thrown in jail.
Just another friggin MARXIST LIBERAL that needs to be hung out to dry for the buzzards.
Plea deal, rehab, pardon, reelection. May take a few years to reach the end of that series.
May he rest in pieces.
Can just anyone buy his seat?
This says a lot about the intelligence of the voters who re-elected him.
What would that be?
"None of us is immune from our share of shortcomings or human frailties and I pray that I will be remembered for what I did right"
I guess he is telling us, "there go you, but for the grace of God" My frailties do not include stealing from others.
That's ok, they'll take him back any time, even if he commits mass murder on live tv.
What would happen to the serfs if something like this went down for us??
How is resigning an amnesty? At the best, he should be HOUNDED for the charges while on the People's business.
Rhetorical, 'cuz I KNOW the GOP wouldn't do squat anyway; being all *RACIST* and all
Next Mayor of Washington DC?
I feel so sorry for Jesse Jackson Jr. that...guffaw...that...oh, come on, now! Horse laugh. Bronx cheer.
No loss.
Somewhere in there did he utter the words "pardon me?"
Peal back the curtain on this twit, and you will find his wife. She wants to keep living large.
Preserving his taxpayer-funded pension.
If they ever want to do a remake of One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest, I think they have a real life candidate to play Nicholson's role.
Accept that Nicholson's character was faking it. JJJ is more like then Danny Devito patient.
Are you sure he is not faking it? I'd bet this mental problem has been a ruse the whole time once he knew the heat was on.
I just want to scream, Didn't he win re election? No, I do not want to read article! Good lord we are screwed, how bad was it that he actually steps down..but remember he "did lots of good things".
Since he did nothing "right", good bye...time to take out the trash!
Of course, his replacement will be handpicked by the little dictator.
and the dumb idiots stil voted for him.
Maybe it's time for maybe 5 questions to be asked and answered correctly on the issues before being allowed to vote.
Why should these dumb idiots have a say how my family has to live or what laws are being made up?
The majority of Dem voters are just plain dumb, when I see an obama sticker I think what a dummy, get a brain
Maybe he'll be ordained into The Church of What's Happenin' Now. You know, so all the mediots can deferentially call him "Reverend."
"I'm taking my 40 acres and a mule, and I'm going home!"
Hmmmmm - seriously, you raise a good point. Corned rats will do whatever they need to, and I would imagine he had few other options. Good thinking.
bidding restricted to select clientele only..
For what he "did right?"
Shouldn't that be for what he "did left?"
this apology sounds more like a 'suicide'letter.
"and the dumb idiots stil voted for him."
He will re-elected anyway.
Yet the people that reelected him overwhelmingly still remain.
He still gets his big pension and free health care for the rest of his life!
Next Mayor of Washington DC?

From Ziggytek: Alienware's M11x is the most powerful ultra-portable gaming laptop there is. It is almost shocking what Alienware has packed into the 11-inch screen notebook: an Intel Core i7-640UM processor and a 1Gb GeForce GT 335M with NVIDIA Optimus technology. Add on some optional upgrades, and the $949 starting price balloons to $2,572.99. More »
From Ziggytek: Alienware is not traditionally about value for the dollar, but the Aurora tower PC is trying to alter this public perception in a downed economy. Starting at only $990, the somewhat understated looking, sci-fi themed tower is a respectable machine; however, a fast i7-860 and ATi Radeon 5870 configuration comes to a reasonable $1698. More »
The age old argument; PC or Console Gaming?
With the advantage of customization of hardware on the PC, also comes its downfall. Constant upgrades to graphics cards, sound cards, motherboards, processors, etc., soon leave the beast you spent $1600 on absolutely moot because of the upgrades that will continue to pile onto the top of that price tag.
Consoles provide a much more static platform, one that makes the developers work on improving the technology by advancing in-game engines and utilizing tried and true methods of making even the most archaic graphics card seem like brand new. Again, also within a console's strength lies the weakness. More »

text: Home > Programs & Services > Surgical and Anesthesia Services > Orthopaedic Surgery > Arthroscopy Arthroscopy With a dedicated team of nurses, physical therapists and social workers, the board-certified Sports Medicine and arthroscopic orthopedic surgeons at White Plains Hospital are among the busiest and most experienced in the greater Westchester area. During arthroscopy, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into a joint through a small incision in the skin, providing the surgeon with magnified images of the joint. The benefit of arthroscopic surgery is that it allows a surgeon to look at the joint surfaces and the surrounding soft tissues such as the ligaments and cartilage. Arthroscopy can be used to diagnose or repair a joint problem, remove a loose or foreign body, or monitor a disease or the effectiveness of a treatment. Arthroscopy is commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, and ankle and can also can be done on the hip, elbow, and wrist. Because it is minimally invasive, arthroscopic surgery offers patients many benefits, including: Smaller incisions Less scarring No cutting of muscles or tendons Less bleeding during surgery A faster recovery time and A faster and more comfortable rehabilitation For more information about the surgical services offered at White Plains Hospital, please visit the surgical services or orthopedics sections of our website.

Sunday's ad is for La Bitacora, a Spanish beer (I believe) since it reads Barcelona at the bottom right. The top translates as, essentially, brewers of ale. But since Google Translate turns La Bitácora into "the blog," so maybe it's not really an old ad after all. But it certainly looks like one.
Spanish Beer Infographics
Today's infographic is a series of them done for a Spanish brewery, Cervesa Moritz. Today is also the beginning of La Tomatina, which takes place each year on the last Wednesday of August in Bunol, Spain. La Tomatina is essentially the world's biggest food fight, so it seemed the perfect day to feature posters from Spain. They were created by Brands & Roses, a Spanish ad agency in 2011. A total of six were apparently done, and there are three shown below. You can see more of the project at Relaja Elcoco.

Pixelated Beer
If you're as old as me, you probably remember when video games had very limited graphics and most were pixelated, only roughly approximating what the characters and backgrounds in the games looked like. I remember getting an Atari 2600 right after high school and playing it a lot while I was in the Army, when we had long blocks of time to kill. Worse still, the very first videogame I played was — believe it or not — Pong, in a stand alone cabinet that was inside Shea Stadium, when my step-grandparents took me to see the Mets play sometime in the early-to-mid-1970s. It must have been after 1972, since that's when Pong debuted. I was Orioles fan back then — Brooks Robinson was my guy — so I don't know why we went to see the Mets. Anyway, pixelation seems to be hot again these days in design, some kind of retro nostalgia no doubt. An artist in Spain, Iñaki Soria Izquierdo, did a series of designs of well-know beer bottles using a pixelated style. He appears to go by just his middle name professionally — Soria — and at his site, in his portfolio, is what he calls IcoBeer. I assume because he's in Spain, the designs are all for well-known international brands, because it would be great to see his treatment of some American brands.
His website includes only the following description:
Pruebas gráficas de representación iconográfica de objetos (Estrella Damm / Heineken / Corona Extra / Guinness) a partir de estructuras y formas geométricas básicas.
Which Google translates as:
Graphic evidence of iconographic representation of objects (Estrella Damm / Heineken / Corona Extra / Guinness) from basic geometric shapes and structures.
But they remind me of those early videogame designs, with just simple square and rectangular shapes, and very few curves, to give the impression of the bottles and labels. Anyway, I think they're pretty cool. Here are the four designs Soria did:

Beer In Art #119: Pablo Picasso's Glass and Bottle of Bass
This week's work of art is by Pablo Picsasso, created using pasted paper and charcoal on cardboard in the Spring of 1914. It's title is Glass and Bottle of Bass. Though it certainly doesn't look like any bottle of Bass Ale I've ever seen.
There's a biography of Picasso at Wikipedia and also Biography.com. You can also see more of Picasso's art at Olga's Gallery, ArtArchive and the ArtCyclopedia. Then there's Picasso.com and his "official" website.
Beer In Art #113: Pablo Picasso's Le Bock
This week's work of art by one of the modern world's most famous artists, Pablo Picasso. The painting is known as Le Bock ("The Beer"), but it's real title is "Portrait of Jamie Sarbartes, the Poet." Picasso painted it in 1901 and today it hangs in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.
The Pablo Picasso Gallery describes the painting like this:
This is sometimes called Le Bock (The Beer) or simply Portrait of Sabartes; but Picasso himself insisted on 'the poet' as part of the title. There was a hint of irony in this as a description of Sabartes, and the painting undoubtedly presents him in an exaggeratedly soulful, glamorous light.
According to Sabartes, it was painted not long after his arrival in Paris from Spain (October 1901). He was sitting alone in a tavern, in a state of myopic isolation and boredom, until Picasso and some companions suddenly burst into the room and cheered him up. A few days later, in Picasso's studio, Sabartes was shown this painting, which he recognized as portraying 'the spectre of my solitude'. It is arguably the first work of Picasso's 'Blue Period', characterized not only by all-pervasive blue tones but by a preoccupation with suffering, rejection and poverty.
There's a biography of Picasso at Wikipedia and also Biography.com. You can also see more of Picasso's art at Olga's Gallery, ArtArchive and the ArtCyclopedia. Then there's Picasso.com and his "official" website.
Beer and Dieting
The UK tabloid newspaper, The Daily Mirror, reported today that a study at the University of Barcelona revealed that "[d]rinking up to a pint of beer a day is good for your health — and can even help you lose weight." They also "found those who have a Mediterranean-style diet and drink moderately are healthier than those who don't" and that "beer could cut the risk of high blood pressure."
Beer In Ads #203: Epidor Moritz
Monday's ad is for a Spanish brewery, Moritz in Barcelona, which was founded in 1856 and closed in 1978. Remaining family members started up the brand again a few years ago, contracting the brewing. This ad is for Epidor, a strong lager they debuted July 23, 1923. Given the strange face of the man in the ad, I'm not exactly sure who their target audience was or why they thought that would help sell beer. Does it make you want to drink their beer?
Beer In Ads #199: The Moritz Elephant
Tuesday's ad is for a Spanish beer, Moritz. The Barcelona brewery was founded in 1856 and closed in 1978, but remaining family members started up the brand again a few years ago, contracting the brewing. This ad is from the first half of the last century, and I particularly love the laughing elephant with his mug of beer.
Beer In Ads #31: Estrella Damm's Waves
Wednesday's ad is a contemporary one for Spain's Estrella Damm. The illustration was apparently done for an Estrella Damm calendar. This work was done by Alex Trochut, a Spanish artist living in Barcelona. There's a nice biography and short interview with him at It's Nice That. I love art with a lot of detail, and this one has it in spades. Look closely at the waves and that alone should keep you occupied for some time. To see it larger, and see even more detail, click through the image and then select "all sizes."
Beer In Ads #2: The Spanish Senorita
Today's beer ad is a beautiful illustration by Achille Mauzan, an Italian artist who created many posters and other illustrations during the Art Deco period from the 1920s-40s and beyond. He was born Luciano Achille Mauzan in the French Riviera but spent most of his life in Italy and Argentina. This ad was created for an unknown Spanish beer, depicting a senorita, "adorned in customary garb, having this brand fixed atop a staff-like scepter."

Marie Osmond Peed Her Pants During Cruise Tour (See Video)
Singer Marie Osmond was left red faced during the final night of her concert cruise after falling into a fit of laughter and wetting herself on stage.
The veteran entertainer and her singer brother were hosting their final gig aboard the Donny & Marie Cruisin' With Friends tour on March 2 when an audience member asked the 52 year old a question that caused her to double over in hysterics.
Marie couldn't regain her composure and she accidentally relieved herself in front of the entire crowd.
In video footage of the event, obtained by EOnline.com, Marie can be heard shouting, "I just peed my pants! Oh ship."
The hitmaker took the incident in stride and proceeded to mop up the mess with her dress until a stage hand was able to bring over a handful of paper towels.
A shocked Donny then closed the show by quipping, "We promised you an experience. You got it!"

As the Boston Red Sox attempt to defend their World Series title, they will undoubtedly require some help from down on the farm along the way.
Early injuries to Shane Victorino and Will Middlebrooks have already given Jackie Bradley Jr. and Brock Holt opportunities to play in Boston. Which other Red Sox minor leaguers are likely to get promoted to the big club in 2014?
This is by no means a complete list; the potential for injuries and trades makes it impossible to predict what Boston's needs might be as the season progresses. However, the following five players will no doubt see time in a Red Sox uniform at some point this year.

Investigative journalists are beginning to follow the money trail that leads to privatization of public education.
Chris Potter of the Pittsburgh City Paper recently published an excellent examination of the lavish spending by a small group of interlocking organizations promoting privatization in Pennsylvania. Some of these organizations popped up overnight to dispense large sums of money to candidates willing to support vouchers.
The story is the same everywhere, it seems. A small number of people who are very rich are trying to buy elections. Their cause is "reform" their goal is privatization.
The journalist who conducts a national investigation might discover that the same 200-300 people are putting up the money in state and local school elections across the nation. They are undermining democracy with their targeted spending.

Duprey: Registration For State Summer Camp Program Begins
DEC Program Promotes Stewardship
March 13, 2007
Assemblywoman Janet L. Duprey (R,I,C-Peru) announced today that applications are now available at her Assembly District Office for state summer camp programs dedicated solely to environmental education. "For over 50 years, this camp program has provided youths with the chance to learn about our natural surroundings while promoting environmental stewardship," Duprey said. "The feedback from staff, participants, and sponsors has been tremendous statewide." There are two ways for youths to attend camp: families can simply apply, and pay $250 for a week at camp, or campers can be sponsored by a local organization. Many local organizations pay the $250 fee due to the limited family income of interested youths. Often conservation clubs, sporting clubs, rod and gun clubs, community groups, school science clubs, or garden clubs sponsor a youth to attend camp. For this program, applicants must be 12-14 years old and have an interest in science, the outdoors, hunting, or fishing. The program runs from June through August. The camps are supervised by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) staff, and are located at DEC Camps Colby, DeBruce, and Rushford. DEC Camp Pack Forest offers programs for youths 15 to 17 years old. Due to the popularity of this program, families and sponsors are urged to apply as soon as possible. Camp applications are available at the Assemblywoman's District Office, PARC Complex, 176 U.S. Oval, Suite 1000, Plattsburgh, NY 12903, or you can call (518) 562-1986. "Applications are also being taken for persons interested in working at these DEC camps," Duprey also noted. Staff positions are limited and staff must meet special requirements, but anyone interested in working at a camp should contact the state DEC at (518) 402-8014 for more information.

Saturday: SLC Sales Tax Hike Passes
St. Lawrence County can raise its sales tax.
The 1 percent increase passed the state senate overnight Friday into Saturday.
Word came in a 5:30 a.m. Saturday press release from state senator Joe Griffo, who represents part of St. Lawrence County and who supported giving the county the right to raise its sales tax.
The change now goes to Governor Cuomo, who is expected to approve it.
County officials have lobbied hard for the increase for more than two years, as St. Lawrence County's finances worsened. In order to secure the support of the Republkican state senators who represent St. Lawrence County, they agreed to use some of the money to cut property taxes.
Despite that, it wasn't at all clear the sales tax would pass the state senate before the legislature's session ends - Republicans in general are adverse to supporting any tax increase, and the handful of Democrats who have sided with Republicans to run the state senate have similar issues with taxes.
In a statement Saturday, Griffo urged county leaders to consider a gradual reduction of county property taxes, spaced evenly over the next few years rather than the one proposal currently being considered: cutting it 14 percent in the first year and then increasing taxes by 2 percent over the next two years.
Senator Griffo's complete statement...
Senator Joseph A. Griffo (R-C-IP, Rome) said today that the legislation to allow the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators to raise its sales tax by 1% if they so choose, has passed the State Senate.
Senate bill 5104 allows St. Lawrence County government to raise its local sales tax from 3 to 4 percent.
"I respect the home-rule wishes of the County leaders who have advocated in their desire to increase the sales tax," said Senator Griffo. "As a former County Executive, I'm very familiar with the challenges that municipalities face when confronted with rising, mandated costs and flat revenue projections. Every available option should be discussed, reviewed with the opportunity for a public discussion, before a tax increase is considered. Reductions, restructuring, and reassessments are an essential part of this process. The County Leaders have assured me and my colleagues in the Legislature, that all contingencies have been examined and that the best course of action, in their judgment, is to raise the sales tax instead property taxes."
Griffo urged county leaders to begin considering an immediate gradual reduction of county property taxes, spaced evenly over the next few years rather than the one proposal currently being considered: cutting it 14 percent in the first year and then increasing taxes by 2 percent over the next two years.
"If the Governor approves this home-rule bill, then I think it's incumbent upon the St. Lawrence County legislature to look to immediately plan a way to reduce the property tax burden in a fiscally-responsible way that reduces the rate over a regular set amount over the next three years," Griffo said. "This will avoid roller-caoster budgeting."
Griffo, who supported tax and spending cuts in the current State budget, said that it's essential to plan for the future because struggling businesses and families need help now. "If government brings in revenue, it will find a way to spend it," Griffo said. "There needs to be a plan to use the additional revenue that will provide immediate relief and not put it off one year to count a windfall."
"Even with the County's severe fiscal need to reduce their deficit, there is nothing gained if the taxpayers are the losers. The local Chambers of Commerce, farmers, homeowners and senior citizens; they all have lists of taxes they need the state to cut. More spending and more taxes will only delay St. Lawrence's economic recovery." Griffo said.

text: Professor Hanshan Dong's Inaugural Lecture, 21/01/2014 Back to 'Inaugural Lecture Series' Surface Engineering: Origins, Status and Potential Professor Hanshan DongChair in Surface EngineeringSchool of Metallurgy & MaterialsCollege of Engineering and Physical Sciences TIme and place information Location G33, Mechanical and Civil Engineering Building (followed by a reception in the Shell Lounge) Date(s) Tuesday 21 January, 2014 (5:15pm) Synopsis Surface Engineering has an underpinning role across the full spectrum of manufacturing industry and produced significant technological, economic and societal impact. Many products, from aero engines to razor blades, use a treated surface in one form or another to achieve improved performance and prolonged lifespan. Therefore, surface engineering has been widely recognised as the key manufacturing technology for the 21st century. This Inaugural Lecture starts with a brief introduction to Surface Engineering with reference to the antiquarian aspects of surface hardening, the establishment of the interdisciplinary subject of surface engineering, the families of surface engineering processes and their wide spread of applications. This will be followed by demonstrating the impact of innovative surface engineering technologies recently developed at the University of Birmingham by way of examples including ceramic conversion of light alloys for motorsports and nuclear applications; S-phase surface engineering of corrosion-resistant alloys for long-life joint prostheses; multifunctional surfaces for anti-bacterial medical devices and high-efficiency fuel cells; and nano surface engineering for nano-fabrications. The lecture finishes with some prospective new-horizons for surface engineering. Registration Registration for this event is now closed. An article on Professor Dong's research and Inaugural Lecture is available here.

Compass North America is a division of London-based Compass Group PLC. It accounted for 44% of the parent company's revenues in fiscal 2009, a four percent increase from 2008 as the company's European operations faltered while the North American unit benefited from a strong focus on driving efficiencies and winning new business. It grew 3.6% in constant currency terms while Europe (0.1%) and UK/Ireland (-5%) stagnated. In the first half of fiscal 2010, revenues and profit margin were both on pace to surpass 2009.
The growth is led by the Education, Healthcare and Recreation segments while B&I has been challenged by headcount drops and reductions in catering expenditures. The gap is illustrated by the fact that B&I dropped from 37% of unit revenues in fiscal 2009 to 29% in the first half of 2010.
Nevertheless, a strong focus on value and grab-and-go offerings, combined with aggressive promotion and tight cost management boosted B&I margin growth, while contract wins like the World Bank Group, Wells Fargo, Visa, Citizens Bank and Pfizer Conference Solutions have added needed volume. Also making an impact was the acquisition deal in early 2009 for B&I support services specialist Kimco, which allows the company to offer corporate clients a wider range of support services.
Expanded service offerings, thanks to the integration of recent acquisitions Professional Services and Medi-Dyn into the Crothall division, have also boosted healthcare revenues. Recent contract additions in this sector include Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, Staten Island University Hospital, the Kaiser Foundation Hospitals in California and the Miami Jewish Health System, where the services will include senior dining.
The Education segment is benefitting from increases in board plan participation and in enrollment as well as strong retention rates. New clients include the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, Duval County (FL) Public Schools, the University of Pennsylvania and Bowling Green (OH) State University.
In the Sports & Recreation area, Compass continues to add accounts, especially through its Levy Restaurants unit. Additions over the past year include the Palace of Auburn Hills near Detroit, the United Center in Chicago, Philips Arena in Atlanta, Arco Arena in Sacramento and the 2010 U.S. Open Golf Championship.
A year ago, Compass acquired Lackmann Culinary Services, an East Coast regional contractor (#17 on the 2009 Top 50) with a strong concentration in the B&I and college segments. Earlier this year it added SSC (Southeast Service Corp.), a provider of cleaning and maintenance services to the K-12, college and B&I segments with annual sales of $150 million.
Major Segments Served:
B&I (37%), Education (22%), Healthcare (26%), Recreation (12%), Other (3%)
No. of Contracts
2009: 8,686
2008: 9,110
Sales Volume
2009: $9,100
2008: $9,000
