Shaw Communications Inc. today announced several deals that will make Global the broadcast home of golf for Canadian golf fans, securing 26 weekends of PGA Tour broadcasts through 2018 and the rights to broadcast weekend coverage of Presidents Cup play in 2015 and 2017.
"These new agreements make Global the home of the most comprehensive golf coverage on Canadian television," said Paul Robertson, President, Shaw Media. "We're thrilled to bring viewers this generation of golf's best players competing for the top prizes and titles."
Global will broadcast some of the best tournaments on the PGA Tour schedule, including The Players Championship, the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance, the RBC Canadian Open and the four FedExCup playoff events, concluding with the Tour Championship, the final event in the race for the $10 million winner of the FedExCup. This week's PGA Tour stop at the Northern Trust Open will air live on Global in HD across Canada on Saturday, February 16 Sunday, February 17.
In addition, Global's broadcast of international golf competition will get a significant boost with weekend coverage of the 2015 and 2017 Presidents Cup; a biennial international match-play event featuring the world's best non-European players competing against top-ranked players from the United States.
"We are delighted to enter into this partnership with Shaw Communications," said PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem. "Canadian golf fans have always demonstrated a strong appetite for PGA Tour golf and this partnership allows those fans to enjoy our product on a consistent platform for the next five years. The PGA is committed to golf in Canada and we are delighted to have Shaw as our partner."
As part of its broadcast schedule, Global will also air a weekly 30-minute program capturing highlights and player interviews from PGA Tour Canada events across the country. The program, produced by PGA Tour Entertainment, will air on Sundays and lead into Global's final round PGA TOUR event broadcasts.
Shaw, the PGA TourOUR and Golf Canada also announced that Shaw Business will become a Premier sponsor of the RBC Canadian Open through 2017. That deal includes Global producing and airing a special 60-minute pre-game show ahead of weekend coverage, featuring exclusive player interviews and highlights to ensure golf fans won't miss any of the action.
"The RBC Canadian Open provides an ideal platform with significant opportunities to enhance awareness of Shaw Business as a solid business-to-business brand across Canada," said Peter Bissonnette, President, Shaw Communications Inc. "Being a premier sponsor of Canada's national open championship is a perfect fit for us, appealing to business customers from Bay Street to Main Street."
Shaw Business owns one of the largest fibre-optic networks in North America. Every day, nearly two million residential and business customers rely on Shaw's 625,000 km of fibre to deliver them phone, Internet, HDTV and data content.
"On behalf of Golf Canada, RBC and everyone involved with the RBC Canadian Open, we are thrilled to have Shaw Business align their brand with Canada's National Open Championship," said Scott Simmons, CEO of Golf Canada. "Together with Global TV and the PGA Tour, we look forward to working in partnership over the next five years to elevate the profile of the RBC Canadian Open to millions of Canadian golf fans from coast to coast."

Tiger Woods had a contentious press conference today at the Honda Classic in regard to an upcoming book written by his former coach, Hank Haney.
TELL US: Will you read the new book?
What seems odd about the fuss over Haney's The Big Miss: My Years Coaching Tiger Woods, is that the excerpts released so far by Golf Digest haven't addressed any aspect about Tiger's sex scandal. They have mostly addressed Woods' interest in the military, including Haney saying he once was interested in becoming a Navy SEAL. Still, Tiger's agent, Mark Steinberg, criticized the book yesterday as "armchair psychology."
But Woods today would only reference earlier comments, where he said Haney writing the book was "unprofessional and very disappointing, especially because it's someone I worked with and trusted as a friend."
"It's still the same," Woods said of his reaction to Haney writing the book. "Nothing has changed in that regard at all."
When there was a followup question about the book later Woods tersely responded, "I've already talked about it."
A third question came when Golf Channel contributor Alex Miceli asked whether Tiger and his camp were disputing the accuracy of any of the information in the book, in particular his desire to be a Navy SEAL.
"I've already talked about everything," Woods said, with some anger creeping in to his voice.
He and Miceli then got into a little back-and-forth, before Tiger concluded with, "You're a beauty, you know that?"
During the press conference Woods also was asked whether he's bothered by the constant scrutiny of everything he does, on and off the golf course. Said Tiger:
"It's part of, I guess, who I am and what I've accomplished. I think it would probably be similar if Jack (Nicklaus) was probably in my generation. They didn't quite have the media scrutiny that they do now. I know that a lot of players don't get the analysis with their games that I do. But it's been like that since I turned pro."
UPDATE: We reported earlier that the Golf Channel said members of the news media were asked ahead of time not to ask questions about the book, but USA TODAY golf writer Steve DiMeglio reports that was incorrect. There was no such request before the press conference, but the moderator did twice make requests during the press conference for reporters to "get back to golf questions."
Reid Cherner has been with USA TODAY since 1982 and written Game On! since March 2008.
He has covered everything from high schools to horse racing to the college and the pros. The only thing he likes more than his own voice is the sound of readers telling him when he's right and wrong.
Michael Hiestand has covered sports media and marketing for USA TODAY, tackling the sports biz ranging from what's behind mega-events such as the Olympics and Super Bowl to the sometimes-hidden numbers behind the sports world's bottom line.

Glimmer: The Power of Design Thinking
Can design thinking make you a happier? A recently published book by author Warren Berger says it can.
Fast Company reports that a new book by Warren Berger, Glimmer, poses that basic design strategies can be adapted to everyday issues – at global, social, business and even personal levels. The book's title captures that moment when one arrives at a new solution to an old problem, and strives to learn how designers solve everyday problems and create alternative solutions.
In collaboration with top designers, Berger examines the ways in which they approach problems, utilize unique tools and techniques, and ultimately arrive at solutions. The ensuing insights captured are actionable and sometimes counter-intuitive design principles such as ask stupid questions; make hope visible; work the metaphor; embrace constraints; and begin anywhere. He elaborates how these can be implemented in business and personal life, and on how "transformation" design is being used to inject fresh creativity into companies globally (and can be used individually).
Berger offered three ways that design thinking can be applied to your life:
1. Designers are good at asking stupid questions. "Step back and reassess everything. Ask fundamental questions: Why are we living in this city? Why am I in this job? There are all sorts of assumptions in your life to reconsider."
2. Designers put problems into visual form. "(Designer) Bruce Mau never thought he'd apply design principles to his own life, but when he was overwhelmed by travel and work he created a graphic representation of how he spent his time. Designers know that when you see everything in front of you, connections and patterns become more understandable."
3. Designers think laterally. "They force their brains to go sideways and consider solutions that are off the path. For example, a bank can transform into boutique hotel or a community center. Most of what (Designer) Dean Kamen does is apply technology to new areas. The trick is to avoid problems in a straightforward manner so that you're open to left-field possibilities. It's all about getting away from heuristic bias."
Ultimately, Berger also believes "you can design your life so that it's ultimately stimulating". By borrowing a page from Richard Saul Wurman – the creator of the Ted Conference – you can design some flow into your life by continually learning, but by pacing that process so that when you're done with a particular book or project, you move on. Berger explains that we're happiest when we're challenged – but not over challenged.
One can argue that, in that vein, you can even use a business or social model to change your perspective and land on your big idea (i.e., happiness) – but that just might be part of the point of design thinking (and effective account planning).

Scholarship Lyrics / Paroles
[Intro x4]
Get your money, get your money
Say you need some extra cash to pay for college with
And it just so happens I got a lot of it
Spin around the pole while you're doing splits
By the end of the night might earn you a scholarship
You a college chick, you a college chick
Keep twerking baby, might earn you a scholarship
You a college chick, you a college chick
Keep twerking baby, might earn you a scholarship
100 dollars, 100 dollars, 100 dollars, trick
100 dollars, 100 dollars, 100 dollars, trick
You a college chick, you a college chick
By the end of the night might earn you a scholarship
[Verse 1: Juicy J]
Clap that ass, just like the clapper
All these bands now these bitches wanna fuck with rappers
I got my Ghost outside, I call it Casper
Ain't no nigga fly as Juicy J, ask NASA
Show me some, I might owe you some
Them bands waiting and I know you want 'em
I'm tryna pay your student loans
Fuck your boyfriend, I don't want your number
Let me get that becky while I'm rolling up
Send my watch back to my jeweler, it ain't cold enough
Just a bunch of bad college chicks in the W with no clothes on
Trippy cup in my hand in the bathtub with my robe on
Tell all your girlfriend that I'm breaking bread and down to fuck
One night, fuck a wife, trippy niggas never cuff
[Bridge + Hook]
[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]
Well fuck her master, she got her bachelor
So she only fucking rappers, she tired of Kappas
And she only shake for backups, so shake it faster
It gets better every chapter, spit that Project Patta
(She call me master!)
Money, money, money while she grindin' on the pole
Dollar for a show but don't nobody gotta know
(Get it, get it off the floor)
She shakin' it like she strippin'
She only representin' for her bitches out in Memphis
Hol' up, hol' up wait a minute, I just came to my senses
I'm trippin' if I'm trickin' if I'm paying your tuition
Cause you know a couple principles or pals in your division
Pay attention, how I'm livin', bet you hate it like detention
[Bridge + Hook]
[Verse 3: Juicy J]
You know what it is shawty, rubber band game
DJ say they out of 1's, they don't mean a damn thang
Throwing 5's 10's 20's, catch a 50 if you lucky
Might just get this whole nut, if you ride me like a huffy
Baby I'm so excited, how about we do it in private
Come get hooked on the juice, I'm so doge you should try it
Let me pay for your class, let me cover your books
Honey this stack in my pocket is probably thinking its a book
This a millionaire dollar team, you should come and join
You can get a pimp house at the trunk fuck a don
You know top notch Gs get the most, not the lesser
Come and fuck with Juicy J, get more than your professor

Matt Preston looks at the role sweets play in Indian society, where to buy them and what to order.
This is a joyous time for many in Melbourne's Indian community, with the nine nights and 10 days of fasting that surround Navarathri at an end. Now everyone is gearing up for Diwali (also known as Divali or deepervali), the Indian festival of lights, which to Hindus plays a role similar to Christmas and New Year in Christian society.
Diwali, this year starting on Saturday, October 25, celebrates rebirth and happiness and honours the goddesses Lakshmi and Parvati and Lord Rama. It is the beginning of the accounting years for the trading classes and a period of feasting and socialising.
Hindus traditionally welcome the five days of Diwali celebrations with the fizz and bang of firecrackers and a flurry of sweet sticky treats. These Indian sweets (mithai) are the most prominent of the many gifts bestowed during the festival.
In fact, Diwali, and the 28 days leading up to it, is the busiest time of the year for Melbourne's Indian sweet makers, or halwai as they are called in India.
As with the excesses of a Christian Christmas, so Diwali is associated with a diet that is unusually sweet and rich. The diet is symbolic of the happiness and prosperity wished for in the coming year - it can perhaps be compared with the chocolate frenzy of Christian Easter.
In some Indian homes the first sweet traditionally made for Diwali is a fried, sweet, puffed-up cake called athi resam, loosely translated as "the supreme taste". Hailing originally from South India, it is made from sugar and roughly ground fermented rice flour. In some houses tradition dictates that the sweet must be consumed by the fire in the stove as a votive offering to ensure that the sweetmaking process is a success.
The gift of sweets is also seen to have auspicious properties throughout the year. They are given to celebrate births or marriages, and even at exam times. It is said that sweets were publicly distributed after India's first successful nuclear test and to mark the defeat of Pakistan at cricket. There are tales, possibly apocryphal, that after the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Ghandi in 1984, Sikhs celebrated by distributing sweets in the streets of Delhi.
Underlying the celebratory properties of Indian sweets is their use as rasad, or gifts to the gods, in religious ritual. One of the gods, Lord Ganesh, is said to have a particular weakness for ladoo, sweet balls usually made from gram (chickpea) flour.
For this reason, many sweet shops and sweet makers in India are strictly vegetarian, to avoid contamination of the sweets by animal products.
With other Indian festivals, such as Holi, also associated with sweet eating, it's no wonder Indians are said to have a ferocious sweet tooth. The appetite for sweets in ritual as in social life has a dramatic impact on the waistlines of the nation.
One report from Indian national newspaper The Hindu a couple of years ago quoted Dr Sangeeta Patel, of INXS Obesity Medical Centre, who said each Indian gained two to three kilograms around the time of Diwali. Another piece of research from the centre showed that a typical resident of the city of Bangalore doubled their usual daily consumption to 3000 calories! North Indian sweets such as sticky halwas and those sugar syrup-soaked balls of joy called gulab jamun were cited as main offenders, with South Indian sweets less problematic.
Just let that serve as a warning before you tantalise your tastebuds with our rough guide to the most popular Indian sweets.
The brilliance of Indian sweets is that their vast range revolves around a surprisingly small selection of core ingredients. Even more impressive, these are generally ingredients found in many Indian homes: sugar, clarified butter (ghee), milk and flour made from pulses (chickpea, dahl), rice or wheat. Pure flours are favoured because those containing cornflour can mar the texture and taste of the sweet.
The sugar may be made from cane or from palms and may be refined or the rougher tasting jaggery.
Ghee has a ritual significance, and is considered spiritually purifying.
Milk-based sweets are more prevalent in the north of the country but in these modern times the best Indian sweets have crossed state boundaries to be embraced throughout the sub-continent.
It is the inventiveness with milk that helps give Indian sweets their variety. It can be slowly cooked down or curdled with lemon juice or vinegar to extract the curds, or turned into yoghurt and perhaps flavoured with saffron and nuts before being solidified. Or turned into loose milk puddings such as the rabdi or kheer of the north and the similar payasam of the south that are consumed for good fortune.
The most common sweet in the cabinets of Melbourne's Indian sweet makers.
Often milk based, these fudge-like confections come in a vast range of flavours, from the popular cashew (kaju) to pistachio (pista), almond (badam) and chickpea (besan) burfi, with the key ingredient, in ground form, making up the bulk of the sweet. It can also be flavoured with chocolate or with coconut to make a sort of Indian version of coconut ice.
These violently orange fried coils of flour and yoghurt batter are sugar syrup-dipped and best eaten hot. Buttermilk or soured curds can replace the yoghurt. They are a popular breakfast dish in the north of India. Here they are usually available cold, which we reckon makes them not nearly as nice.
Gulab jamun
Little round cakey fried dumplings made from curds and soaked in a sugar or toffee syrup. Also come darker as kala jamun, literally "black jamun".
Again, can come in a range of flavours but most famous and best is that made with grated carrot, its moistness marrying well with the fudge-like flavour. Lentils, semolina and sweet potatoes can also be used in halwa and a special halwa made with wheat flour is a traditional ritual offering.
Bombay halwa
A rubbery and sticky, vicious-coloured translucent jelly often orange or emerald in colour. It is held together with sago, semolina or cornflour and slightly reminiscent of Turkish delight crossed with a wine gum. The secret, apparently, is in the stirring.
Milk soup with little light balls of paneer (mashed cottage cheese) in it. Eaten chilled. The lighter the balls the better this Bengali delicacy.
Rather sandy balls made from a rough chickpea flour with sugar and ghee, which inspire great enthusiasm from my Indian friend.
Cham cham
Sodden in sugar syrup. You'll invariably find a wide range of these cakey-textured milk-based sweets everywhere, but there's often less difference in flavour than in looks.
Mysore pak
It is said he who has not eaten this sweet, attributed to the south, has not eaten Indian sweets. The version you'll find around town is often a dry, crumbly-crunchy combination of chickpea flour, sugar, water and ghee.
With the able assistance of the knowledgable Geeta Patel, Indian cookery teacher and skilled ras-malai cook, and comparative Indian sweet novice Di Cummins, I headed out to sample the best Indian sweets that Melbourne has to offer. Here are some high points we found.

Scouting Wednesday's Pirates-Cardinals game
Wednesday will be Wainwright's 23rd start but the first time he'll face the Pirates this season. In 19 career outings (15 starts) vs. the Pirates, Wainwright is 8-4, including a 5-1 record at PNC Park. The righty has yielded 18 walks, the fewest among NL starters with 100-plus IP. Wainwright did not issue a walk over his first 34 2⁄3 IP this season — the second-longest streak by a Cardinals pitcher since 1900.
• Through Monday, catcher Yadier Molina (59 games) and outfielder Matt Holliday (50 games) had appeared in more games at PNC Park than any of their Cardinals teammates. Molina had a .330 batting average and .835 OPS on the North Shore. Holliday had a .302 average and a .839 OPS.
• The Pirates said Tuesday they still are evaluating medical reports on catcher Michael McKenry's sprained left knee. McKenry is not eligible to come off the DL until Aug. 12. If surgery is necessary, he likely will be out for the season.

For my info, (and maybe others) can you explain what the "Westminster
Confession" actually was?
As I say, I was brought up as a Presbyterian (but not a very strict one) and I
had never heard of this until I was about 25.
There was a "Non-subscribing Presbyterian Church" near where we moved to in
Lisburn, and I asked someone what it meant, all they knew was that it was to do
with the Westminster Confession, but they couldn't explain what it was either!
I'm quite happy for this to go "off-list" if you don't feel it belongs here or
if anyone else is offended by it.

We want to see your Autumn hairstyles, so we're kicking off a month-long Instagram challenge. Snap a picture of your hair and share it with us. For every Instagram photo tagged #bellahair, BellaSugar will donate $1 to the American Cancer Society on behalf of Pantene Beautiful Lengths — plus you could win one of four $1,000 prizes! Our challenge's first theme was hair color, so flip through to see some of our readers' best shots. Ready to help the cause? This week's theme is hair accessories. Tag your Instagram snap with #bellahair, and you'll be entered to win!
Join The Conversation
@Annie Tomlin welcome to california where everything is high and quality is poor. hair dressers calculate the length of your hair and how you want it cut, colored, and styled and base the price on that. since long hair cost more most likely at a mid-sized hair salon you are looking at spending $200+ if you go to a high end salon in beverly hills you are looking to spend $400+. but that wasn't my point, and yes i do have a neck for doing DIY projects but the point was too many people entering too many times w/out reading the official rules. thats my point and our winner also entered more than once. i'm looking out for myself, so if something is unfair i will say it.
@nikkisoda so when i express my opinion and my views i am automatically assumed a bitter but lovely person?! to each their own. i just merely stated that people dont follow rules and post their pictures up 20x making it unfair for those of us who do follow rules become obsolete and no chance of winning even if yours or mine hair is the most beautiful, etc. Tthe official rules state that only one entry per person per week i see more than one person entering their pictures more than 1x and entering pictures other than the current category, ex: hair color. Is that far for me who entered only one time? or for you? thats my concern. I've seen this happen in other giveaways, and i'm starting to think its a joke and i'm the fool that follows the rules. nothing to be bitter about, and i do like some of the hair colors on here. I do see more than one person that has had their pictures posted on instagram #bellahair at least 6x and one of them is here on the front post, i thought by the rules you get disqualified for that, why is there an official rules and yet no disqualification? it just shows that rules are just not meant to be followed. 'Mean what you say and do what you mean", thats one motto people should follow. No hard feelings! may the best hairs win.
How do I vote for the person? I clicked the star on the person's picture and it stay the same for each person I go through.
Wow, I'm an actor/model and I have to say @hairhegoes you are amazing. I love how the colors blend from dark to light. I would like to do that as a male model with a spiked look! So cool!
@Annie Tomlin Thank You, so much!!
@Jaime Richards Thank You!!
These colors are so pretty I really love this website so much. I learn so much from all of these fun posts. I am so in love with the black and honey gradient hair is it possible you guys can do a tutorial on how to do this at home? I have a Reunion coming up and I think the gorgeously gradient hair would be the perfect for the fall. I have shoulder length black hair so any tips would be helpful thank you guys :) -bellafanaticlover xoxo
@nikkisoda Wow! That's a really, really good color for you. Rather Zooey Deschanel-esque. Looks very natural.
@hairhegoes Thanks for sharing! We think your hair is c-o-o-l.
@pinkmedress Thanks for your feedback. That's cool that you do your own cut and color. It's definitely a skill (says she who learned the hard way) and it sounds like you do have talent. For the gallery, we are just highlighting (pun intended) some of our favorite pictures that were tagged #bellahair. We definitely don't think people need to spend lots of money to have great hair — none of us are dropping $200 on a cut/color! I hope you'll join in this week's challenge if you haven't already. Winners will be notified privately. Good luck!
@pinkmedress Woah. I cannot help but be offended here. My picture is on the cover. I tagged two separate pics of myself, each just showing a different angle of my new color. That, by the way, didn't cost me $200. $85 to be exact. Plus I had color done specifically for my wedding a few weeks ago that I thought looked amazing. So I added that photo as well. Maybe this weeks challenge would be better for you. It's hair accessories. Those do not have to cost an arm and a leg. You could even make one! And one last thing. Please don't try to take others down just because you are bitter. It's not becoming. And I'm sure you are actually quite lovely.
i should start posting 20 pictures of myself so i can get on the cover of this post too, not bitter but dont get how people dont follow official rules end up not being disqualified. i guess rules are meant to be broken. i think everyone's hair colors look great but not everyone can afford a $200 color and/or cut, we are in a recession and that money could be used for bills and to buy food. i dont get my hair colored or cut at a salon, i do it myself, and i do good job. a good friend of mine back in the day was learning to be a cosmetologist so i'd let her color and cut my hair and she would do amazing work. but now i do my own now thats talent, worth every penny of that $1000.
WOW! this is so exciting :) thanks so much for posting a picture of my gorgeously gradient hair. Everyones hair looks beautiful. Major Props to BellaSugar.com for such an awesome website and cool contest. Follow me on instagram @hairhegoes

@nikkisoda Looks great on you!
Thanks for sharing my picture. I had just gone from blond to brunette the day before. Big change! Oh and bangs. :)
Our readers look gorgeous! Thanks for all who shared.
this "gorgeously gradient" hair color is def. the best out of the bunch. the others weren't anything too spectacular in regards to "color" aside from the girl with the blonde hair and bright tips, that was cool but my favorite would be the gradient ombre because this color looks blended well plus this is all the craze in the magazines, fashion and runway. i think she did a great job with her color choice because its lovely for the fall and looks gorgeous with her skin tone and layered hair. very bohemian fashionista!!!

CU's unique history "Rises from the Ashes"
In doing so, the university will honor veterans of the divisions by giving them Master of Military Arts degrees. The title is well worth it; at least 250 soldiers died while training at Cumberland alone. The school believes the amount of hours, education and hard work these veterans went through earns them a degree in Military Arts.
Its no surprise that Cumberland would think of creating such an honor. Veterans are not new to the city of Lebanon. The impact Lebanon soldiers have had on Middle Tennessee dates back to the Civil War, and soldiers of the past have created what this city and school truly stand for.
Memorials at the university tell the story of fallen soldiers, heroes and famous alumni, but some believe the history of the school doesnt just lie in the memorabilia. In fact, some believe it walks down the halls, sits in the dorms, and roams on campus.
Yeah, at CU you come to realize youre not alone. The soldiers are still here reminding you of their achievements from days past. I usually hear em at night. It's like the campus is a battleground again! 24-year-old alumnus Carson Gulley explains casually as his friends nod in agreement.
Some say the shouts of Confederate and Union soldiers can be heard across the grounds at night, and, as Carson puts it, the campus never seems to sleep.
Whether there are ghosts or not, the universitys old buildings remain full of life with the history rooted within them.
One building thats experienced a lot is Memorial Hall. Its a brick structure that stands in the center of campus, tall and strong, showing visitors its persistence to remain steadfast through the years despite what its been through.
Since the establishment of the university in 1847, Memorial Hall has burned to the ground, served as military training headquarters, and become the inspiration for Cumberland Universitys mascot and motto.
Along with the rest of the campus, the hall was burned to mere ashes in 1862 by Confederatesleaving but two columns standing.
To the time of the Civil War, Cumberland enjoyed years of success as one of the most prestigious law schools in the country. By 1859, it became one of the largest law schools in the nation, adopting a trial advocacy program (which allows students to participate in mock court trials) that, according to U.S. News & World Report, ranked fifth in the nation that year.
When the war came, however, the campus quickly split into sides for the North and the South. The university transformed into a battleground and a destroyed campus. Tents and men covered the grounds as the battle carried on. Much of Lebanon was demolished as well.
It took 15 years after the schools destruction to restore it and even then bringing in students proved to be difficult.
However, the university eventually rose out of this depression, becoming just as prestigious as before and educating an extensive list of impressive alumni including U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, 80 congressmen, and three ambassadors.
In the 1940s, World War II took over the grounds once again and the newly constructed Memorial Hall became the location for the 2nd Army Maneuvers Headquarters, training veterans whom the university will honor this May.
Today, the maroon and white CU logo with a phoenix mascot covers campus doors, T-shirts and places like the small football stadium.
Were proud to be phoenixes. Our mascot stands for our history and what we here at Cumberland are all about, alumnus Jim Sawyer, 25, exclaims with enthusiasm, ending with E Cineribus Resurgam.
E Cineribus Resurgam, meaning From Ashes I Shall Arise, is the motto for the university. When the school stood as only two columns, a student engraved in one of them this phrase, and since then the words have been used to represent Cumberland University and its history of picking up the pieces and surviving after such destruction.
The mythical phoenix is born from its own ashes, just as Cumberland was reconstructed from where its ashes once laid in the late 1800s. Cumberlands emblem and motto collectively represent the universitys long life through the hard times and the good times.
This May, veterans of the 2nd Maneuvers will be added to the list of notable soldiers who have served and trained on Cumberland grounds throughout history. As long as Cumberland continues to make history through its academics, service to the nation and historic campus, the stories of past times will rise from their ashes and live on in Lebanon forever.

in the Arctic soon after the first polar explorers, Carnegie Museum
of Natural
scientists have been investigating the people and wildlife of the
Arctic regions for more than a century. Early expeditions were harrowing
adventures – tentative steps into an alien landscape rife with cold,
darkness, and isolation.
Carnegie Museum
of Natural History expeditions have revealed much about the past, present,
and future of the Arctic. A century's worth of collecting has created
a repository of the Arctic at the Museum for scientific research. This
knowledge has resulted in publications and Museum exhibitions that familiarize
the public with one of the worlds' last frontiers.
The geographic
range of Carnegie Museum of Natural History research stretches from southern Hudson Bay to Ellesmere
Island in the high Arctic to the Mackenzie Delta and Holman Island
in the western Canadian Arctic. With the aid of the Inuit people,
these numerous expeditions have changed the way we think about the
and its inhabitants. Needle to the North is the introductory
exhibition for Polar World: Wyckoff Hall of Arctic Life, highlighting
some of those remarkable explorers and their discoveries "in their
own words."

Re: good fix for problem scarves
Expand Messages
- These are beautiful! I have discovered that 'full coverage' marbling on the silk like this does compromise the silkiness and sheen of the silk which I don't like. I posted in another thread about some new paints I'm going to try which are supposed to leave the fabric soft and shiny, but I don't know if it will lend itself to marbling all that well. It's worth a try. I'm moving away from doing scarves as well and focusing on larger stoles, shawls, furoshiki squares that are more versatile.

Stylist: Stacy
I went in some months ago for the Ouidad cut. Seriously, one of the worst hair cuts I have ever had. They carved out a ton of my hair, and it was a mess to say the least! To top off the horrible cut, they were super high pressure pushing products, which they had caked into my hair. Never again! They charge nearly $100, and all they did was ruin my hair.
Stylist: Dawn
Dawn is the other Ouidad certified stylist in the state of MN, and she is abosolutely an amazing find! My curls have never looked so beautiful, and her own daughter has naturally curly hair so she really cares and takes a lot of pride in the work that she does. She really understands curls, and takes the time to get to know you and lets you get comfortable with the Ouidad cut and style without pushing for a dramatically different change the first hair cut. She listens to my questions and comments throughout the whole cut and style process. She's never pushed products on me, and has never made me feel as if she was rushing through my cut and style. Her work is just wonderful! The fact that she has such a wonderful and kind personality really is a perfect addition to a beautiful cut and style!
Stylist: Theresa
Theresa is a certified Oiudad stylist, one of only two in the entire state of MN as of Oct 2009. She is an experienced, talented stylist who now knows how to cut curly hair. I highly recommend her for all curly girls. Don't be fooled by those who claim to know how to cut curly hair. Just because they can avoid the often mentioned "christmas tree" effect doesn't mean they have any real training for curly hair. It just means enough people have let them experiment on their curly hair and they've learned a couple of tricks through trial and error. Go with a certified Oiudad trained stylist. You won't regret it! The salon itself is warm and friendly, but located in a strip mall. Those of you who prefer a hip, trendy salon may not care for the ambiance, but you will LOVE the haircut that Theresa gives you. The drive to Excelsior will be well worth the results.

EDITORIAL >> We know who Ross speaks for
Ross attended a forum on health care Monday provided by the Greater Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and paid for by a health insurance company, Delta Dental. Ross used the venue to defend himself against the accusations that his principal interest in the health-care labors in the House of Representatives as the point man for the Democratic Blue Dog Coalition was to take care of the insurance companies and major providers. He used his leverage to force major changes in the House health-care bill that would mean higher premiums on the working poor of his district and increased payments to hospitals and other providers.
One of his objectives was to see to it that health legislation would not place tough cost controls on hospitals and many doctors. He said that if the legislation insured millions more people, it would dump more people into Arkansas hospitals, where low reimbursement rates based on Medicare would force the closure of our rural hospitals. It is our guess that nearly all Arkansas hospitals would dearly love to get more patients, even at Medicare and Medicaid rates. Medicare will pay a rural Arkansas hospital from $27,000 to $30,000 to install a heart defibrillator and from $12,228 to $13,783 for a knee replacement. Ross says they are going broke being paid so little.
Ross said he was not influenced by the insurance companies and other providers. He has gotten very little campaign money from insurance companies, not a great deal from the medical industry and none from the big pharmaceutical makers, he said.
The Center for Responsible Politics in Arkansas has a different story. He has taken $38,000 from the insurance industry (but only $4,500 from the leading insurer in Arkansas, he points out) and a grand total of $992,000 from the health industry. How much has he received from the 100,000 or so uninsured workers in his district? There are no figures, but not much we would guess. They have no voice in this debate and it shows.
Specifically, Ross said the drug industry had no hold on him. By stunning coincidence, the online magazine Politico and ProPublica, a nonprofit news group, published an article Tuesday reporting on the mammoth profit Ross made from the sale of his little family drugstore in the town of Prescott to the retail giant USA Drugs in 2007. USA paid Ross $420,000 for the little store (several times its appraised value) and between $500,000 and $1 million for its assets and paid his wife between $100,000 and $250,000 not to open a competing store in the hamlet. Total compensation: between $1 million and $1.67 million. For good measure, two weeks after the sale, USAs owner tossed $2,300 into Ross campaign kitty.
Although he voted a bill out of his committee that contained an optional public insurance plan for people who cannot buy private policies or have been denied for pre-existing conditions or canceled for chronic sickness, Ross has said he would see to it that the bill that passed the House did not have the government plan in it. He said the people in his district made it clear to him that they do not want the government insuring anyones medical care.
They dont? Then right away he must introduce legislation repealing Medicare, Medicaid and veterans health care, all government insurance programs, or at least allowing his congressional district to opt out of the government programs.
Altogether, those government insurance programs already cover more than a third of all his constituents who have insured health care. Medicaid alone, which covers children, some adults and institutionalized care for the indigent elderly, pays about $3.5 billion a year for the care of Arkansans. In his own little county of Nevada, Medicaid last year spent nearly $19 million on the care of Ross neighbors. Medicare spends roughly another $3.5 billion for Arkansans care.
Get rid of them all. Now that would be straight talk. He couldnt set foot in the Fourth District or the state of Arkansas again, but he would be true to his principles.

Sibling Adjustment To Baby
Sibling rivalry
If you peeked inside our family photo album, you'd see the very first photo of our family of four taken at the hospital. The snapshot shows a weary, but smiling, mom cradling newborn Hannah; a proud dad gazing at his new daughter; and two-year-old Ben sitting on the end of the bed. His mouth is bent in a strange angle -- not quite a smile, but not really a smirk. His facial expression speaks volumes and seems to whisper, "Don't forget about me."
During pregnancy, I had talked with Ben about the new baby. He would feel my stomach, and sometimes I felt as if the baby were already engaged in sibling rivalry: She'd punch my belly with great force whenever Ben snuggled close beside me. But until I saw the photo, I didn't fully understand the impact a new sibling would have on him.
Major life transition
A new baby's entry into the family is especially tough on your children. "The first thing to remember is the existing child was not given an option on the addition of a new baby. The time this child spent with the parents alone will now be split in half with the arrival of the new baby," says Dr Gail M. Gross, a nationally recognized expert on child and juvenile education, development and behavior. Gross hosts the radio show, "Let's Talk," and a weekly education segment on PBS in Houston.
"The first child will be the most affected by the birth of the second child, especially if the [older] child is a toddler," continues Gross. "The first child has had the sole attention of the parents and will now have to share. Toddlers may begin to act out -- they will become aggressive and throw tantrums. When children regress to this type of behavior, they are looking for comfort. They feel threatened and vulnerable, and feel they have lost control." Gross says nurturing the parental bond with older siblings is important so they know they can continue to count on you for love and support.
"Parents can avoid some of the negative impact of a new baby by spacing children at least three years apart. By the age of three, a child is no longer as dependent on parents and will be more accepting of a new baby," says Gross.
Get siblings involved
"For young children and toddlers, it is important for parents to draw them in as an ally," says Gross. She advises including the child in decisions about the new baby and offers the following suggestions:
- Let children help brainstorm names for baby.
- Invite their input on nursery theme or wall color.
- Include siblings in shopping trips for the new baby.
Let them pretend
One way to get young children used to the idea of living with a baby is to give them one of their own. A doll gives children the opportunity to care for and nurture their "baby," which can aid in the adjustment to the real baby who will soon take up residence in the home. One such doll is the BABY born doll, made by the Zapf Creation Company. BABY born's design is realistic, with rolls of baby fat and a raised belly button, and demonstrates seven life-like functions.
For older children, Small Fry Productions offers a videotape called You Are a Masterpiece. Designed for children ages 5 through 12, this video teaches about life before birth with computer animation and in utero photography.
Spend time reading to your child
Books such as I'm a Big Brother, I'm a Big Sister and The New Baby at Your House, by Joanna Cole, and Barney Meets the New Baby, by Maureen M. Valvassori can help prepare children, as well as give them some close, intimate time with you.
You may also want to "borrow" a friend or neighbor's baby at intervals throughout your pregnancy and care for him in the presence of your children. This will help them get accustomed to having a baby in the house.
Rethink gift giving
Should a child receive a gift from his brand-new baby brother or sister? Dr Gross says no. "I don't advise giving the child a gift from the new baby because it is not genuine, and the child, no matter the age, will sense or know that an infant can't buy a gift," says Gross. "Instead, work on creating a bond with the child and demonstrate your reliability and trustworthiness. The child needs to know the addition of the new baby does not diminish her importance or [your love for her]. Set aside special time before and especially after the new baby arrives to spend with the older child."
Announce it in a BIG way: I'm going to be a big sister | I'm going to be a big brother
Foster an environment in which siblings can get along well instead of becoming rivals. One way to do this is by never comparing siblings or creating a sense of competition among them.
In the event of sorrow
Tragically, not all pregnancies result in a live birth. Parents who suffer loss through miscarriage or stillbirth will have not only the emotional heartache of dealing with the loss, but also the challenge of explaining it to the other children. Dr Gross offers the following advice:
- Give your child age-appropriate information. A child younger than five or six does not need a full explanation. Children older than six may request and need more answers. You know your child best: know their child and decide how much information is necessary.
- Be honest. Always tell your child the truth. Again, this does not mean providing a toddler or young child with too much information. Children this young may only require a simple but truthful answer.
- Be strong. Don't burden your children with your hurt. They need to see their parents as strong to feel secure and protected. Feelings of insecurity can cause children anxiety and to act out in an aggressive manner. Seek counseling if necessary.

Viking Yachts says layoffs phase is finishedPosted on
Viking Yachts officials say they believe they are done with layoffs and can soon start bringing people back to work.
Since last year, the New Gretna, N.J., builder has laid off about 550 people, bringing its workforce down to about 800, spokesman Peter Frederiksen told Soundings Trade Only this morning.
"We're confident that we're done with layoffs and we've got our production at a manageable level," Frederiksen said.
Layoffs were done in "dribs and drabs," he said. As boats were finished, a certain number of people would be let go. Workers will be brought back into the company in the same way, as the work allows for it, he said.
"You don't want to bring back more people than there is work for them to do," Frederiksen said.
Last week, the company delivered its first 82-footer – a demo boat from the Miami show. Viking also has sold a new 46-footer, which premiered in Miami. It will be delivered in June.
"There are things happening," Frederiksen said. "There are people out there that want to buy."

Heat hold on to end Hurricanes unbeaten start
The Hobart Hurricanes unbeaten start to the KFC Big Bash League was ended in dramatic style by the Brisbane Heat who won a thrilling match by just three runs after a dramatic finish at the Gabba.
Despite setting the visitors a massive victory target of 202, the Heat had to wait until the final delivery of the match to secure victory after Travis Brit (74) and Owais Shah (69) had seemingly steered the visitors to victory with a 3rd wicket stand of 141.
With 15 runs needed from the final over, Shah dispatched Alistair McDermotts first four deliveries for 12 runs to leave the Hurricanes needing just four runs from the final two deliveries having reached 198-2.
But the previously winless Heat hit back thanks to McDermott who ran Brit out off his own bowling before his final delivery of the match was smashed to the long on boundary by Shah straight into the hands of Daniel Christian to spark wild celebrations from the home side.
In what proved to be a high scoring game, big hitting Matthew Hayden led the way smashing six boundaries and three sixes to score a quick fire 76 to help the Heat posts a mammoth total of 201-4.
Andrew Robinson (44) and Roelof van der Merwe (24) offered support to put the Heat in control and even though the Hurricanes found themselves 57-2 in the 8th over the visitors were always a danger until McDermott made the vital break through.

Arctic: A Friend Acting Strangely
April 15 - November 2006

Earlier spring thaws! Later fall freeze-ups! Greater storm impacts! Reduced sea ice! Unfamiliar species of plants and animals! What do these changes mean for the Arctic, its wildlife, its people—and for the rest of the planet?
The Arctic: A Friend Acting Strangely exhibit is part of the Forces of Change Program at the National Museum of Natural History. The exhibit explores changes that have been observed in the Arctic, the Earth's northernmost region, and how they are monitored by scientists and polar residents. Native peoples of the Arctic have always lived with year-to-year fluctuations in weather and ice conditions. In recent decades, they have witnessed that the climate has become unpredictable, the land and sea unfamiliar. An elder in Arctic Canada recently described the weather as uggianaqtuq—an Inuit word that can suggest strange, unexpected behavior, sometimes described as that of "a friend acting strangely." During the past 20 years temperatures have risen rapidly; permafrost has begun to melt; and sea ice cover and ice caps have been shrinking. In response, plant and animal distributions have begun to shift. Arctic waters are warming; and animals are changing their migration routes. Some of these changes have beneficial effects while others bring hardship or have costly implications. Our exhibit addresses four major questions:
- How has Arctic change been documented?
- Has Arctic climate change affected Arctic environments and people in the past?
- How much is the Arctic projected to warm in the future?
- What impacts will these changes have on the Arctic's ecology and peoples—and the world at large?
The exhibit's story of the changing Arctic is illustrated by a rich array of objects from the Smithsonian's collections, supplemented by photographs, video footage, satellite animations, graphic illustrations, and computer interactive exploration stations.
The Arctic: A Friend Acting Strangely exhibit was made possible by a generous grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Arctic Research Office. Additional support and funding were provided by the Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Caribou, Rangifer tarandus, are superbly adapted to the Arctic where they are the most common large grazing animal.

What Are Your "Friend Categories"?
Well, lookie here. Another New York Times' Style section article about a "lifestyle trend" that's sweeping the nation. The topic? De-friending. Not just online. IRL. I know. Groundbreaking, right? It's no secret that people drift apart, or lose commonalities. But OK, maybe there's a point here. The internet has given us an abnormal saturation of friendships and it's not as evident as to how to get rid of them or even deal with them. Maybe because half the time you can avoid face-to-face confrontation.
I imagine once upon a time, there was just a number of people you knew. Floating out there with few actual ties to you. Now they're all "friends," which you need to arrange according to categories. One social media expert, in trying to whittle down his circle, found that his "solution was to divide his social base into two categories: 'linear' friends (lasting relationships based on a deep connection) and 'nonlinear' (situational friends based only on shared past experience, like an old job)."
This idea made an impact on me, especially because I had recently attempted to do this as sort of a mental exercise in an attempt to evaluate which connections were really important to me. But I found myself unable to create just two or three categories. There were the "friends who are always up to party" the "friends from college I still hang out with," the "friends from college I sometimes keep in touch with," the "friends who prefer to socialize by dining out" and the "friends who prefer to chill on a couch."
I'm guessing I'm not the only one out there who has these secret labels for some of their buddies. What are yours? Or do you find your friends are fairly clear-cut into groups?

The dynamics of the practice of law are changing radically. The old model of providing legal services as a commodity, whereby the client is removed from the process, and sees only the end result—and the bill—is no longer viable.
The client of today is much more sophisticated and demands participation in the process. My approach to the client-attorney relationship is by the knowledge exchange, by which I work together with my client as a partner in every step of the process. I learn the environment which encompasses the client's goals and expectations. In turn, I strive to make the client more aware of the applicable legal context while helping the client to make more informed decisions. The relationship between client and attorney thrives as each of us becomes more knowledgeable of the needs, concerns, and objectives of the other.
My goal is to make the client-attorney relationship more like a partnership—a relationship that is closer, richer, and more productive and meaningful.
I cannot properly counsel a client unless and until I understand the client's world, the space in which the client operates. I need to view that world from the client's perspective and gain as much knowledge as I possibly can about the world the client sees. To counsel an automobile dealer, a real estate developer, a restaurateur, a plumbing supply house, I must know and understand the elements of each of those businesses. To prepare an effective estate plan, a shareholder or operating agreement, a personal services contract, I must grasp the needs of the individual client by putting myself in his or her place.
All too often, lawyers rely on their form books, their computer templates, and, most importantly, their lawyer instincts to be the all knowing advice giver. Instead, I listen to my client, to learn his or her needs and expectations, and I ask questions when I need to learn more. My focus is always on the client. Once we as attorneys begin to try to impress a client with our knowledge or supposed wisdom, or try to tell the client what to do, we stop listening. We then lose that focus and do the client a great disservice.

Such material may include but is not limited to: ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whale bone and certain species of coral, together with Brazilian rosewood.

Dear Wendy Updates: Rebound Guy Responds
It's time again for "Dear Wendy Updates," a feature where people I've given advice to in the past let us know whether they followed the advice and how they're doing today. After the jump, we hear from Rebound Guy, who was always falling for women who had just gotten out of long-term relationships. When he wrote, he was involved with one such woman who kept telling him she wasn't ready for a relationship. After a year and a half of seeing her off-and-on, he was beginning to wonder if she'd ever be ready. So, did he decide to move on? Did she eventually come around? Has he finally kicked his habit of dating recently broken-up women? Find out after the jump.
A few months ago, I wrote to you about always being the rebound guy. I think you were right (as were a lot of the commenters) in the fact that whether or not I was a rebound guy for this particular girl, she wasn't right for me because she was still hesitant to jump back into a relationship, and thus I should not wait around for her. I think there was the assumption that I always went after girls straight out of relationships, but that wasn't really the case. It would be more along the lines of meeting someone, going on a few dates, and then finding out on date two or three that they just got out of a four-year relationship, like, three months ago. But anyway, I stopped contacting the girl-of-topic and haven't really heard back from her, so have moved on. It didn't really make much sense to wait around for her to make up her mind.
This decision actually worked out well because soon after, I met someone whom I really click with. We get along great, never run out of things to talk about, like the same things, etc. Then I found out on date four she just ended a five-year relationship four months earlier. *face palm.* BUT, I think it's going to be okay, because we're both really into each other and she already told me (on her own free will, I never asked her) that she didn't feel like this was a rebound thing for her or anything. Whether or not that turns out to be true six months from now, we'll just have to wait and see. But I suppose every relationship has a follow-up relationship. Whether or not it is a "rebound" depends on how much you are into the other person. Thanks for your words of wisdom and keep up the good work.
Good luck, Rebound Guy! Or, should we call you "follow-up relationship guy"? At any rate, hope this one sticks!
If you're someone I've given advice to in the past, I'd love to hear from you, too. Email me at {encode="[email protected]" title="[email protected]"} with a link to the original post, and let me know whether you followed the advice and how you're doing now.
Follow me on Twitter and get relationship tips and updates on new Dear Wendy columns!

Our Coalition
In 2003, the euthanasia rate in Hillsborough County was over 34,000 dogs and cats Our coalition was formed in 2004 to represent the volunteer rescue groups in our community who work with our County's Animal Services shelter and The Humane Society of Tampa Bay. The common goal is to move as many animals as possible out of shelters and into foster homes where they have more time to be adopted.
With the help of the ASPCA's 3-year Community Program [2007-2010], our euthanasia rate has been steadily dropping ever since. TampaPets.org - No More Homeless Pets in Hillsborough County, remains a coalition of concerned animal welfare groups, local business leaders, and individuals working together to end this tragedy in our community.
We changed the format of our large pet adoption expos at the Florida State Fairground to sponsor events in specific communities. Our goal is to foster a stronger tie between rescue groups and local businesses. Rescue groups and local businesses share the same dilemma in today's very competitive world. The rescues are competing with national organizations for donations while local business has to compete against big box stores. In both cases there are impossibly massive advertising budgets to fight against.
There is a ray of light though and it's centered on providing an avenue for people who want to improve their community. The rescue groups have loyal supporters to offer local business; local business receives a much more impactful result from their limited advertising budgets by supporting rescue and the pet loving community gets to support the people making a difference where they actually live and work.
We are working diligently to build a support center for smaller independent rescues. This will offer Tampa Bay's first Cat Cafe, a Happy Yap patio for dogs and a location to distribute larger scale food and product donations. Stay tuned for event postings in our blog or social media – and sign up for our newsletter to receive valuable coupons from our business sponsors.
Support animal welfare groups and inspire compassion for our pet community.
To end euthanasia as the primary means of animal population control.
1. Be an easily accessible hub for integrating animal welfare initiatives.
2. Raise funds to support adoption, spay and neuter and medical care for animals.
3. Establish strategic alliances.
4. Educate the public about responsible pet ownership resources.
5. Develop and maintain a web-based forum for animal welfare issues.
1. Be open to using innovative and non-traditional ideas.
2. Appreciate and utilize our diversity to meet our goals.
3. Nourish a cooperative culture between rescue groups, shelters and agencies.
4. Communicate our message consistently.
5. Respect each other as much as we respect animals.
