Former players laud Leyland upon his retirement
Sid Bream enjoyed some of the Pirates' good days under Jim Leyland. Dan Plesac endured some of the not-so-good days.
Yet, the memories they shared struck an identical note on Monday after the 68-year-old Leyland announced his retirement as the Detroit Tigers' manager, signaling the end of 22 seasons in the dugout.
"Jim Leyland was the best manager I ever had in Major League Baseball," said Bream, a Pirates' first baseman from 1985 — the season before Leyland arrived — through 1990. "He knew what to do. He knew when to kick you in the butt and when to tell a joke. It didn't matter who you were. If you were the franchise, if he needed to get in your face, he'd get in your face.
"I really, really appreciate him," Bream said. "I appreciate him as a human being. I appreciate him as a manager, and I certainly appreciate him as a great friend."
Bream played on Leyland's first playoff team in 1990. Ironically, it was Bream who helped usher in the demise of the Pirates and Leyland's eventual departure when he scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning for Atlanta against the Pirates in Game 7 of the 1992 NLCS. It would take 21 years for the Pirates to post a winning record and return to the postseason. Leyland left after the 1996 season for south Florida, leading the Marlins to a world championship in 1997.
Plesac played with the Pirates in 1995 and 1996, a former star closer trying to reinvent himself as a set-up man. Stripped of much of its talent, the club posted a two-year record of 131-175, twice finishing last in the NL Central. But that did not alter the pitcher's impressions of Leyland.
"You know, I played for a long time, 18 years," said Plesac, now a MLB Network analyst. "I played for some great managers. I've been around some great people. Jim Leyland was the best manager. I don't like to single anybody out, but the list of best managers I've played for is a very short list. His name is the only one on it."
Plesac added: "He was a nice guy, he could be a tough guy. He knew when to wrap his arm you. He knew when to kick you in the butt."
Plesac said he especially recalls Leyland's last home game at Three Rivers Stadium in 1996.
"I remember him walking around shaking hands when the game was over," said Plesac. "He walked around the park waving to the crowd. I remember thinking, 'Man, these people really love him.' . . .He's the best. He's genuine. I guess the best way to describe him is, he is what he is. He put his heart and soul into his players, his team, and he's done that at every stop."
Leyland managed the Tigers for eight seasons beginning in 2006. Former Pirate and Point Park product Don Kelly — whose brother-in-law is Pirates second baseman Neil Walker — played several seasons for Leyland in Detroit.
"He really cares deeply about his players," Kelly said. "When you go out there, the way he treats you, you want to run through a wall for him, go out there and get a win. That's the way he treated me. He treated everybody like that."
Leyland, who has kept homes in the Pittsburgh area with his wife, Katie, since his Pirates days, retains a close emotional bond with the Pirates and the city.
"It's just a great place," he told the Trib in May. "This is my home and I live here. The last thing I wanted to do was leave Pittsburgh as a manager. I've got a lot of friends here."

Egyptian Jewelry, The Greatest Data Related to You
Egyptians are masters of ornamenting metals by engraving, soldering and fashioning them into beautiful masterpieces. As far as the history of Egyptian jewelry is concerned, The history runs back to 4BC, an era famous for galant pharoic golden age. Glyptic art, meaning ancient Egyptian gem carving art was very popular back in the day and was important in the role off showing power, glory and possessions. Maybe it is the abundace of precious gems that made them divert to polychrome glass jewelry?
Egyptian jewellery centers on color the most. It takes a creative eye to put all the glamorous colors together in order to produce a good piece of Egyptian jewelry. Red is for life and power whereas green is for fertility and blue is symbolic of joyousness. In ancient times Egyptian jewelry was used as religious symbols for sacrifices, special ceremonies and in mummification. Although a part of life in the traditional stories we know, Egyptian jewelry bears evidence for style, class and glamor in today's age.
Types of Egyptian jewelry are a many varying from coral pins and chunky glass bracelets to ankh cross rings, gothic pewter pendants and silver thumb pharaoh rings to vintage bead necklaces. Although precious stones are not attached to these jewelry giving it value for rarity, the high price tags attached to Egyptian jewelry speaks of their value in modern days. A half an inch thick silver pharaoh ring would cost about $ 10 and a vintage glass bead necklace can cost up to $ 130 or more.
Early craftsmen used lots of gold in their works, but today, with the prices of precious metals rising, jewelers look for cheaper alternatives such as copper, brass and so on. Amethysts, garnets, opals, topazes and quartz are umpteen of the gems normally used in Egyptian jewelry. Bracelets, armlets and head-ornaments play serious role in the Egyptian look. There are a mixture of thick and thin arm bands-plain or embedded with jewels, grand or simple, fancy or plain. The head ornaments from hair clips to head bands are amazingly appealing. They add goodwill and poise to a female when blended with a Cleopatra- type silk white dress.
More over, big thick challenging rings represents real Egyptian royal line. They are oftentimes sculpted with a present of a pharaoh adored Ramses III ordinarily and the band is styled with Egyptian inscription, pictures of crowns, animals and ancient symbols. Some see Egyptian jewelry as marks of luck and others wear it to show class the richer you are more unbridled the Egyptian jewellery you put on.

does apparmor work against these:
codecs, flash player, videodriver?
i have seen there that it is possible to lock directories for firefox, pidgin and xchat. but if i want to use firefox with flash player enabled, can i lock flash player also? i think yes. then can i lock videocodecs if i install them?
by the way: are codec packages in the repository open-source (i.e. can be checked against vulnerability (and probably are checked))?
where is flash player binary file that i will need to know to generate general profile for it? i can look binary file name of standart packages in synaptic with right click -> files. where can i see flash player's files?
can i lock videodriver with apparmor?
can i lock ports with apparmor?
does apparmor work separate way with every user? i think yes and think that probably i cannot use apparmor against videodriver because it does not run separately for every user (and [think that] apparmor just does not work on that level). does codecs run separately for every user? - i think yes.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/6/2014 (1167 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Expect to see Reuben and the Dark's Funeral Sky on a ton of best-of lists come December.
The debut album from the Calgary indie-folk outfit, led by singer-songwriter Reuben Bullock, is a collection of soaring, cinematic songs replete with heart-string-tugging harmonies -- the kind that should have no problem finding their way into movie trailers.
And that's not out of the question, either. Released at the end of May via Canadian indie heavyweight Arts & Crafts, Funeral Sky is the kind of career-making debut that will no doubt net some Juno and Polaris buzz.
For Bullock, the album's release is the culmination of more than year of hard, slow work. Funeral Sky was pieced together from several different recording sessions, including a couple with Florence and the Machine drummer Chris Hayden -- whom Bullock had met and hit it off with while vacationing in Mexico -- and Stephen Kozmeniuk, who has worked with the likes of Madonna, Nicki Minaj and Kanye West.
"We worked with this producer who had produced songs for Madonna and Kanye -- and we're a folk band trying out these songs we'd recorded on a $10 tape machine in a bandmate's basement," Bullock says with an incredulous laugh.
Bullock has no regrets about the piecemeal recording process; each song was given the treatment it needed. "I wanted it to be strong," he says of the record. Bullock figures the band had almost 20 songs they had to whittle down to 11.
Not all the songs were written for Funeral Sky; some had been self-released in various forms over the years. "We had a chance to put out these songs and give them a bigger life. Two of my favourite songs -- Devil's Time and Bow & Arrow -- are older. We had some success with Bow & Arrow in that fans and friends were familiar with it. We err towards being an alt-country band when not enough thought goes into arrangements. I'm always a fan of songs you can't put a genre on -- you just think of them as good songs."
Bullock, 29, demands a lot of himself, a quality that almost took him pro as a skateboarder.
He began skateboarding when he was 11; by his teens, he'd caught the attention of sponsors, but not necessarily for his technical ability. "I think they saw a guy who really pushed himself," he says. "I had a fearless approach to the way I did things. I felt like an imposter around all these people that had honed ability.
"I feel the same way about music. The other musicians I'm around -- even in my own band -- exceed my technical ability. It really comes down to caring about what I do."
Bullock didn't pick up the guitar until he was 21 or 22, but when he wasn't popping ollies, he was writing poetry.
"I went nuts with it like any 16-year-old that gets obsessed with something," he says. "I filled journals and journals with poetry that resembled lyrics. But I never shared them with anyone."
Eventually, however, Bullock wanted to bring the performative aspect he loved about skateboarding to his writing. "I picked the guitar up out of necessity, to get words off of paper. Once I figured out how to play two chords, it gave writing a completely different meaning."
Unlike a lot of young singer/songwriters, Bullock didn't have a long list of musical or literary influences during his formative years.
"I was on my own little island," he says. "I thought if I read too many books or listened to too much music, I'd start writing like my favourite author or my favourite band. I had to write like I was the only one doing it. I was more inspired by their depth of thought and their passion."
While Bullock still skateboards, music has won out.
"I broke a lot of bones and I realized how much I'd put into it," he says. "It's very limited in terms of skill set. Music is part of a bigger culture. There's a bigger picture. Music started feeling more honest (than skateboarding) as a full-time pursuit."
And, with a proper debut on their hands, Bullock and his bandmates are well on their way to making music full-time. "We want to see this thing through," he says.
Right now, he's looking forward to a stretch of tour dates that lies ahead. This summer will be spent on the festival circuit, and will see them play the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Osheaga in Montreal, the Squamish Valley Music Festival in B.C., and Austin City Limits. "What we're doing this summer is a dream of mine."

Ar barrel length
Wanting to do a barrel change on my cmmg. Was wanting to put on a 24" heavy barrel. What's the pros and cons of going that long. I like the look mainly but still want accuracy.
Sent from my iPhone using Firearms Talk
Well as it was mentioned a few days ago on another thread, a longer barrel does not necessarily mean greater accuracy. However, a longer barrel will mean faster muzzle velocities which translates into less drop and more energy at distance. According to this calculator with a 55gr bullet and an initial velocity of 3000fps, the increase in velocity from 16 to a 24 inch barrel is 230 fps.
And so by Hornady's online tool, the 230fps increase will decrease the drop at 300 yards by 2.5 inches, 500 yards by 11.2 inches, and at 700 yards by a whopping 31.8 inches using the same bullet and powder. The above numbers are the result of this equation (24 inch barrel velocity - 16 inch barrel velocity). Remember that the actual drop is still quite great at those distances.
The "pro" is that you like way the rifle looks.
The "con" is that the rifle is now as long as a battle rifle, it weighs as much as a battle rifle with worse weight distribution, and the velocity loss between 24 and 20 inches is minimal.
But hey, it's your money and ultimately you are the one who will be happy or unhappy. I'd say it may be useful as a moderate distance target rifle or perhaps open terrain hunting rifle, if your locale allows 5.56MM for hunting, and it squeezes every last ounce of juice outta the 5.56MM, but that's about it.
I'm kinda goin for a bench rest / bipod rifle with this one. I know the longer / heavier barrel won't be a comfortable shouldered rifle Just kinda goin for look but shill want it too shoot good
Sent from my iPhone using Firearms Talk
It was a test to see if we're paying attention, right? :D
As far as looking like a battle rifle and heavy I don't mind. But it should still shoot fine right? On shelf ammo?
Sent from my iPhone using Firearms Talk
Bush, you will still have to find the right load for ultimate accuracy. Keep in mind also that every gun and every barrel is an individual and as such won't react equitably to all cartridges. Try several different loads methodically so as to find what load your weapon places on target most consistenly and base your results on that loading.
From experience, I would only recommend a 20" max length heavy varmint barrel for your rifle. The 24 is very front heavy. The other issue is it makes the rifle entirely too heavy to pack around incase you want to use it for something else other than stationary on a bench. Like for instance varmint or predator hunting. In addition it will shoot no better than the 20". I have had two Rock River Arms 20" A-4 Varmint Rifles both were 1/4 MOA guns when I was having a good day. Bottom line the 24 will do no better and heavy as stated. So my advise if you are going to go to a Heavy Barrel only go to the 20" even for bench shooting. Of course the quality of the barrel is important as well as selecting the barrel twist for the rounds you will be shooting. Mine were both 1:8 Twist Stainles Air Guaged Wildy Chambers. I mostly shot 55 gr. match bullets out of them but the 1:8 will also shoot well with heavier bullets like 62-69 grain rounds. While the 1:12 twist can only handle rounds 55 gr and lighter. The Rock River Barrels are Wilson Barrel Company barrels. There are many good barrel companies but the Rock River/Wilsons are fine barrels proven by the groups they consistantly produce.
Good luck on your choice!:)

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello are you available to chat now?
Sir , I am sorry to hear about this, I have read what you wrote and I can certainly understand your feelings....
who is he going to live with- why them?
I think my oldest sister she kind of likes drama but has no idea what she's getting herself into
Her husband died recently and she has an empty house
Oh my, is she aware of Andy's history?
I tried to text my son this morning and for what ever reason he is in a highly agitated state
Yes she has some knowledge
So, essentially, he is still using and unwilling to take medication?
We know marijuana for sure from tests but suspect other things
and if you could wave a magic wand, what would you like me to tell you or what specific advise do you seek.
like he said before he left...................just want things to be the way they used to be
We will never have a relationship with our son I fear
At this moment in time, you are correct, however, he needs hardcore treatment in a residential treatment program and now that he is 18, unless he is acting in such a way that causes harm to himself or others it is almost impossible to make this happen.
I'm afraid we'll be notified that he was found dead
hate when the phone rings
Of course, that would be the normal expectation however, he is a survivor, is street wise and the call is probably going come from the police that he is in jail.
He is so paranoid anything we say to him he suspects we are out to get him
I have worked with this type for many years and it is only when you have the leverage of the courts, that you can get something done.
In what state do you live?
Minnesota he's living in Iowa somewhere not even sure exactly
He got a small amount charge before he left
one of the doctors strongly suspected meth but never tested positive
I'm sure he's tried everything by now.....
Should he be incarcerated. DO NOT BAIL HIM OUT.
Tried lithium and respridone he had really good results with respridone but won't take it
I paid the ticket he talked me into it
Guilt trip
Of course, he has been in control for many years.
respridone was like magic made him reasonable and could see others point of view not so paranoid
He has controlled the house for years yes your right
Well, that is a good thing because he is more likely to receive service for the psychiatric issue vs the drug.
If he is psychotic.........which it sounds as though he is, when you find out where he is, you want to connect with that counties community mental health center.
He was so bad to the human services women here they won't even help if you mention his name it's all over
psychotic that's scary
There are limits but if he is mentally ill, winds up in jail, he can be committed on an involuntary basis.
something happened to provoke him to leave but we'll never know what it was he gave away many of his things I'm guessing to pay debts
thats why I say, if he gets incarcerated, DONT BAIL HIM OUT as this will be the opportunity to have him evaluated and an opportunity for family to appeal to the court for involuntary commitment. He has a hx, diagnosis etc. all this will help. But he will only get better with long term treatment.
I want you to get the best selling book by Melody Beattie, "the language of letting go"
You and your wife need to read it because at this point you have to maintain your sanity and I can tell that you need help with this.
If my wife and I didn't have a bullet proof relationship i think it would have ruined us
I'll tell her the book titles I'm sure she'll buy it
You have to preserve your individual and family mental health. What happens to Andy, is beyond your control
We blame ourselves for this as I'm sure parents do
Anything Melody Beattie has written is a good read. Check her on Amazon.Com
we feel helpless
You are correct, parents always blame themselves , it is natural .........also to feel helpless but
and guilty for all the fighting
sometimes in letting go, you will find that Andy will be cast into a new orbit.
I was always here for my kids used to think I was a pretty good Dad
and some new opportunities for him may emerge to get the treatment you cannot provide. No parent of family could,
You have to acccept that this has nothing to do with being a good dad.
Andy used to say I was the best dad in the whole world..............how does it come to this
this is about an out of control mentally ill person that happens to be your son.
The book I recommended deals with all the feelings you are talking about
I'll get it I'm sure it will help
It will definably help you cope........also get her daily reflections book ,
How do you talk to someone if saying how are you doing starts him on a rant
and remember you can always touch base with me here if you have additional questions.
Answer: You can't because now it is like a foreign language.
my sister getting involved is going to make him feel empowered he will be even worse to us I've seen it before and I feel I should warn her but don't feel like dragging andy down
this has been a long battle it's taken it's toll on everyone here
You need to tell her........she may be the leverage that gets him into care in Iowa.
I can tryk
Forget about Andy in the sense of dragging him down. You have it backwards. He can't get well if you allow him to control
He'll never go back into care willingly
he would have to be forced
He thinks nothings wrong with him and we are all crazy
I feel horrible about making him leave the house but had to consider my other 2 children wasn't fair to them and I could see the affect it was having
the mental health dr at shelter house said that andy has genius IQ so I'm sure you can imagine the havoc a manipulative genius can wreak
I think it is worth considering getting a counselor for yourself/family to deal with this
there are so many feelings that need to be expressed and you may need some help with it.
We had a counselor to work this out when andy was still 17 and at home but andy wouldn't attend and the counselor and I swapped fishing stories
he didn't seem to see a problem here but then he didn't witness how andy could turn things upside down in a heartbeat
Andy used to be a super nice kid, always a little hyper but very likable don't know if drug use spured this on or what but it was a drastic change oh and I didn't mention he lost about 30 pounds in a few weeks
wow......sounds like meth to me.
Find another counselor, if you need referral assistance, I will be happy to assist.
meth is rampant in our little town
many of andy's friends have been busted lately right after he left I look on his cell records and he hasn't talked to anyone from home since he left and I mean not anyone I find this really odd
is it hard to get a positive drug test for meth or not your area
Typically it is not hard to get conclusive testing but it has to come from blood.
At this point, I have move on but I don't want to cut you off if there is anything else that I can answer specifically???

The Hydor Slim Skim Nano Internal Protein Skimmer is an excellent, efficient compact protein skimmer for use in small marine tanks. It takes up very little tank space, as it is only 12 inches tall with a 3-inch-by-3.5-inch footprint; there is also a slightly bigger model, which is 17.5 inches tall.
The Claims
Hydor claims that the Slim Skim Nano is compact, easy to install and position, and that it will efficiently provide protein skimming for small marine tanks. Hydor also claims that it is easy to adjust and consumes little power.
The Test
I set up a 20-gallon high with water from an existing tank, live rock from that same tank and the Hydor Slim Skim Nano as the only filtration. I stocked the tank with two tank-raised ocellaris clownfish, an orchid dottyback, and some snails and hermit crabs. I ran the tank for two months, topping off with reverse-osmosis water as needed; I did one water change of 20 percent during the test period.
The Results
The Hydor Slim Skim Nano did an excellent job of removing organics from the test tank. The water was always crystal clear, and the fish and inverts thrived. I especially liked how easy it was to install and adjust the Hydor Slim Skim Nano. Magnetic suction mounts make it easy to position the skimmer anywhere in the tank, and the collection cup has a rubber O-ring (actually, it's square, but I guess we still call it a "ring") that made it easy to control the level of skimmate. The bubbles produced were very fine, and they did a great job of attracting the nasty organics. The collection cup was easy to remove and to clean, and it could be repositioned accurately. The compact Hydor Slim Skim Nano fit well into the small aquarium and provided all of the filtration that was needed. During the testing period, I never had any ammonia or nitrite, and nitrates were at an acceptably low level.
The Hydor Slim Skim Nano is the best protein skimmer that I have tested for use in a small marine tank. The small footprint of the skimmer makes it easy to install in any small marine tank, and its efficiency is impressive. The pump produces very fine bubbles and uses only 4 watts. If you want a small protein skimmer for a small marine tank, the Hydor Slim Skim Nano is definitely one to consider.

HALTON councillior John Stockton is urging the Government to stop cuts to the police force.
Officer numbers in Cheshire have fallen since cuts were brought in and Mr Stockton, the Labour candidate for the role of crime commissioner, says they must not be substituting specials for regular police.
He added: "I hugely value the work special constables do here in Cheshire.
"But there wouldn't be the need for such a dramatic recruitment increase in volunteers if the Tory-led Government wasn't forcing Cheshire Police to cut so many full time police officers."

Outbound travel by Australians from
In its March traffic figures released on Thursday, Sydney Airport reported a 0.1 per cent rise in international passenger numbers which outstripped a 0.1 per cent fall in domestic passenger numbers.
Sydney Airport chief executive
Overall, passenger numbers at Sydney Airport in March fell by 0.1 per cent to 3.146 million, but for the first three months of the year are up by 2.4 per cent, including a 4.9 per cent rise in international passengers and a 1.2 per cent rise in domestic passengers.
Ms Mather said the slightly stronger international traffic in March had been driven by increases in airline capacity and the percentage of seats filled.
The largest percentage growth in a single inbound nationality was from Malaysia in March, with a 20 per cent rise over last year driven by increased frequencies from Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia X. Chinese traffic increased by 8.8 per cent and American traffic by 7.8 per cent.
Ms Mather said the outbound destinations experiencing the most growth were Malaysia, Singapore, Fiji, Japan, the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates.

Calls from Columbus to fall down priority list at sheriff's office if city does not agree to Anoka County's latest plan
Paul Rignell
Columbus Reporter
Columbus Mayor Dave Povolny told his fellow council members Sept. 26 that he had spoken further with Anoka County Sheriff's Office representatives on the city's law enforcement budget since their talk Sept. 12.
Rather than raise the city's commitment for county services by six figures all in one year, the county proposes a raise of $25,000 for 2013 and then to build Columbus to an increase of $100,000 over the current contract by 2017, the mayor said. That would still lead Columbus into boosting its dedicated coverage from Anoka County, when a deputy and patrol car would be based in Columbus, from eight to 10 hours daily including weekends.
If Columbus should not agree to the latest negotiated plan, Povolny said, the county would no longer respond right away to non-emergency calls outside of dedicated hours. Though deputies would still be dispatched 24/7 on calls of assaults or vehicular crashes, he explained, the county would not prioritize immediate response to calls of barking dogs or even many thefts, Povolny said.
He said the county reports that its deputies are spending a disproportionate amount of time in Columbus among its eight contracted cities and townships, that "we're drinking more Kool-Aid than what we're paying for," the mayor said.
Council member Bill Krebs said he feels bound by Anoka County. "They're determining what our fair share is. They're making the rules," he said.
"There are some options with police protection," replied the mayor, who has said the county services have been affordable while also noting the city could start its own department or join resources with another city. "We've got to find a better way to do it."

There is a way if you use different "clients": http:/
Aug 14, 2013 at 4:52 UTC
I had a similar problem. I have multiple partners that each run their own Lync server. I needed to communicate with each at various times. It was a real pain to reset each of the specs every time I needed to IM a different client.
I finally came across this app, http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Profiles-For-Lync-v2-b775d304
It doesn't allow you to have multiple clients running at the same time, but it does make it a whole lot easier to switch between up to 40 different Lync server accounts at the push of a button.

Marinvent, the Canadian research firm, received a U.S. patent last month for its dynamic non-linear display technology, developed to bring a semblance of calm to displays that simultaneously must provide high resolution and large value ranges.
While the technology could be applied to a variety of tasks, from readouts at nuclear power plants to the gauges on oil tankers, Marinvent president and founder John Maris developed the dynamic non-linear display concept specifically to aid pilots during aggressive flight maneuvers or after an upset.
Maris, a former Canadian Forces instructor pilot, explained that during recovery from an upset, the crew can become confused by the fast motion on altitude tapes, which in extreme situations can be barely readable. If the airspeed is increasing rapidly at the same time, the two tapes sliding in opposite directions can create an optical illusion. The result is the sensation that the aircraft is banking when in fact it is not.
The non-linear dynamic display shows minimum and maximum values in the far top and bottom range, and the current value (say, the present altitude) in a separate box at the center of the tape. If the values begin to change rapidly, the numbers in the box in the middle of the tape will move rapidly. The rest of the tape, however, will show a much slower, calmer movement, which Maris said lets the pilot better comprehend and assimilate precisely what is happening. The non-linear scaling on the vertical tape readout ensures that the critical value–zero feet altitude–always stays on the screen while maintaining excellent display resolution near the aircraft's current altitude.
The new, non-linear display format could significantly improve flight safety because it increases pilot awareness of ground proximity, experts say.
"With a normal altitude indicator you don't get a real feel for what's going to happen in several minutes, because you don't know where the ground is," said Rob Erdos, a senior researcher at Canada's National Research Council (NRC), which has evaluated the concept. "The benefit of this technology is that it puts the ground in view and lets you know how close you are to it, as well as how fast you're approaching it. You get a better feel for what's happening in terms of altitude."
Flight trials of the technology were conducted last year at the NRC's Institute for Aerospace Research.

The Bravo! Cucina Italiana restaurant at the Mall of Louisiana is set to close at the end of March. It will be replaced by Bar Louie.
Raphael Gross, a spokesman for Bravo Biro, the Columbus, Ohio, company that owns Bravo! Cucina, said the Baton Rouge location is being shut down because of the "challenging economic times."
Bravo!, which opened in July 2008, was one of the early tenants of the Mall of Louisiana's open-air Boulevard shopping center.
Despite being located across the street from the mall's 15-screen movie theater, the restaurant "never gained the traction we had hoped for," Gross said.
The 7,500-square-foot space won't be vacant for long. Bar Louie, a Chicago chain that specializes in signature martinis and American food from hamburgers to small plates, will open in the former Bravo! spot in May, said Todd Denton, mall manager.
"We're real pleased even though we are losing a tenant, we'll have a replacement right away," he said. "That will keep the excitement and energy out there."
A Baton Rouge location has been a long time coming for Bar Louie.
In 2005, JTS Interests announced Bar Louie would be a tenant in its Perkins Rowe development, but that never came to fruition.

Their parents call them ''restaurant babies''. Theirs is an unusual childhood - holidays in France and Italy dining at the best Michelin starred restaurants despite pleas for McDonald's, opening their own ''pop-up restaurants'' for Mother's Day, and being put to work young in the family business. Often working for their parents was the only time they got to see them, so unfamily-friendly, bordering on brutal, are the hours in the hospitality industry. So why on earth would these kids follow their dad and mum into the trade?
The Perrys
Neil Perry, 56 (owner - Rockpool, Spice Temple and Rockpool Bar and Grill) and daughter Josephine, 19 (host, Rockpool)
JP I first started working for the Rockpool Group when I was 14. I was working at Spice Temple just on Friday and Saturday nights after school. Being a 14-year-old girl, I thought the lifestyle was really cool - working in hospitality, getting to work with dad.
I grew up with older people - I was always really chatty, loved talking to people and meeting new people.
NP I wasn't worried when Josephine said she wanted to start working. A lot of 14-year-olds say they want to work at McDonald's or do a paper run. Josephine, like a lot of people her age, was looking for pocket money. I was very proud of her that she wanted to go out and earn her own money. But more proud of her that she worked the sort of hours she did. When her friends were going out, she was working at the restaurant.
JP When I was 14, I was probably doing 16 hours over Friday and Saturday nights. I'd go straight after school and have a staff meal with everyone, then I'd work 6 till 11 or 12pm. Once I turned 16, I was full time.
NP Josephine approached me, she was in year 11, and said, 'Dad, I could waste the next 18 months of my life, or I could come and work for you.' And it's been really wonderful because Josephine has an incredible sense of timing - she knows when guests need something and when they don't, when to get in and get out, when to hold a conversation - you can't teach that.
My exit strategy is I don't really have one but this business is very generational and I'd love to see my children - if they want - take over the business.
BD How do you find working together?
JP Dad and I do interact a lot at work - we are very close. Like best friends. But also work is work for us, so we try and stay quite professional.
NP I give her lots of advice like I would to anyone - learn 10 times as much from your mistakes as you would from your triumphs: they hurt the most, so you have to really remember where you went wrong. For me, it's really important to select the right employees - if I've got people who are better than me, working for me, then I'm going to be in a better place.
JP One of the best pieces of advice dad gave me was when we went for dinner at Per Se (in New York). I was 14 - the service was impeccable. Then there were other meals where the service wasn't that great - so dad said, ''write it down - so you know what you like and didn't like … you could pass it on to staff members and trainees''.
I still do have a little journal at home.
BD Josephine - did you consider anything other than hospitality?
JP I used to be a keen horse rider and I always wanted to be a mounted policewoman.
NP Ah, yes!
JP We lived in Surry Hills and used to drive past the mounted-police station and I used to say, 'I want to be a mounted policewoman!'
But otherwise, no other occupation apart from hospitality interested me.
The Sullivans
Peter Sullivan of MorSul (runs Aria, Chiswick and North Bondi Fish) and Luke Sullivan, 19 (waiter/bartender at Chiswick) and Megan Sullivan, 21 (transitioning from supervisor to junior sommelier at est.)
PS I didn't have a parent in hospitality. You learn by taking bits and pieces along the way. I was 27 and (business partner) Matt (Moran) was 22 when we opened our first place so we were reasonably young. My wife Susan and I never consciously pushed them [our children] into the industry and my wife was probably secretly hoping they wouldn't do it because I'm so obsessive about it.
MS We have one younger sister Emma who is still at school - so there's hope for her …
PS You try to not let it [work] get involved in your personal life, but of course it does. You'll be driving in your car coming back from holidays and talking about the restaurant. I think subconsciously over the years, as these guys [Megan and Luke] have grown up, they've just listened to us talk and absorbed it - and I think they just know. I didn't teach them what they should or shouldn't have done. I didn't teach them to be hospitable. They've just observed and have just been surrounded by it.
MS As a kid, Saturday was my day to spend at the restaurant. When I was 10 or 11 I'd go into Aria and polish the ice buckets and fold hand towels for the ladies' and men's bathrooms. I got 1¢ a hand towel.
PS I wanted to show them that if they wanted anything they had to work for it and I want them to see the full cycle of why I wasn't home, particularly at nights. I was a pretty absent parent for a lot of their life, I wasn't around a lot at nights, particularly in the early days - so there's some sacrifices that I wanted them to understand. It wasn't because I wanted them to get into it. It was to have them around while I was working - so I could spend some time with them [even though] they were working too. But restaurants are great fun when you're a kid.
LS The best thing about going to the restaurant as a kid was the post-mix. Unlimited soft drink and that, to a 7-year-old kid, was amazing.
MS We were lucky enough to go on some overseas trips. And obviously, there were restaurants that mum and dad wanted to check out, so we went with them.
LS Pete and I went on an overseas trip in London for 10 days and we would literally go out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was only 13 and sometimes I just wanted McDonald's.
On one of the last nights we went to Gordon Ramsay's restaurant, Maze - and I would love it now but back then I hated it.
PS You hated it!
LS I had a massive fight, saying, "I am so over fine dining - I don't want to go to another restaurant, no matter how nice it is!' We do go out to restaurants more than we cook at home. If we are all off on one night it's like - 'what restaurant do we go to?" We're pretty bad cooks.
MS Before I started here I never had a full appreciation of the group - of what mum and dad did, until I got into it and I realised the extent of it and how successful they have been. You realise at the ground level why they are 24/7.
PS It's a big family. You're an employer, friend, therapist, father, mother; you have to be all those things at different times - that's what makes great employers.
The Cowdrills
David Cowdrill (ran Mario's, an iconic Italian seafood joint in East Sydney, for two decades before opening Pizza Mario in Surry Hills) and son Marcelo Cowdrill (restaurateur at Da Mario Rosebery).
MC I was always in and around restaurants - Da Mario was born about a year or two before me. My earliest memories are just being around the restaurant and watching my parents doing all the background stuff. A lot of the cakes originally were made in our own home. My grandfather and grandmother were also integral parts of the restaurant. I was born into it and I didn't realise.
In my mid-teens I spent a lot of time at the restaurant because I liked the atmosphere and I didn't have any responsibilities there, which made it even more enjoyable.
When I left school I did a year in retail then I went to Mario's. I thought, "OK, I'm going to give the restaurant a go". I was just a runner but they used to call me the walker because I wasn't doing much running, apparently.
I was always told by my parents not to go into the restaurant business, but here I am.
DC There's just as much financial pressure as in any business and when you go on holidays, you don't stop thinking about it. I warned him off it because it's disruptive to your family and social life. But I think Marcelo is a night person.
MC Yeah, I'm not a morning person! I didn't feel family life was disrupted when I was a kid - if anything, I was lucky because I was eating food that my friends wouldn't even dream of, back then.
DC And you were exposed to a lot of food because you travelled a lot, too.
MC We did a car trip from the north to the south of Italy.
DC No, we started down in the south - we went from Sardinia right up to Rome.
MC I would have been about 10 or 11.
DC One of the nicest memories was driving through Puglia. That was a revelation - my memory was of vegetables and pork.
MC I didn't have in the back of mind that I wanted to open my own place until recently. If you asked me, I would still say, 'I'm trying to work out what I will be when I grow up'.
DC He doesn't necessarily need my guidance with Da Mario because he's a clear thinker. He works it out. Before he starts talking to me, he works it out.
He can work with people. Whether they are customers or staff - he has that broad ability to communicate.
He's his own person, but it also came from his upbringing. It's been an open household - conversation was open, opinions were strong.
BD Did you ever work together on the floor? How was that?
DC No comment …
MC He's (dad) going to take the fifth!
There was that time at the start of Pizza Mario - 13 years ago, where dad was in the kitchen every night and my brother and I were on the floor. It was a very small shop and back then I was living with dad, too.
DC I work differently now. My day starts at 6am - I go to the markets twice a week. I don't have late nights, but it's a seven-day-a-week business.
MC What my youngest brother is doing now - he is only nine, he comes here once a week and he loves to get behind the scenes, polish glasses, do all kinds of things - because he likes the atmosphere.
But I didn't work nearly as hard as he does when I was his age - I got in the way more than anything.

DETROIT (AP) — An invalid juvenile court order has led a judge to dismiss criminal charges against a Detroit mother who held police at bay outside her home for 12 hours when they tried to remove her 13-year-old daughter.
Prosecutors also say 36th District Court Judge Ronald Giles dismissed charges against Maryanne Godboldo (god-BOWL'-doh) Monday because there was insufficient evidence to show she fired a gun at police.
The prosecutor's office says it will appeal the dismissal.
Godboldo was charged with discharging a weapon, felonious assault, resisting and obstructing an officer.
Godboldo says Child Protective Services in March sent officers to the house for her daughter because she had taken the girl off an anti-psychotic drug. A jury in Juvenile Court found her guilty of neglect earlier this month.

Sudanese Christians thankful for freedom
MANCHESTER, N.H. — The husband of a Sudanese woman who refused to recant her Christian faith in the face of a death sentence said on Friday the family is healthy but "very tired" and grateful for the global efforts to free his wife.
Meriam Ibrahim flew from Rome with her husband, Daniel Wani, and two children to Philadelphia and then on to New Hampshire. Wani has family in Manchester, where they will make their new home.
Wani thanked members of Congress, human rights organizations, diplomats and lawyers who helped free Ibrahim.
"Everyone is in good health but are very tired," Wani said.
The family is planning to address the media next week.
Ibrahim had been sentenced to death over charges of apostasy, the abandonment of a religion. Her father was Muslim, and her mother was an Orthodox Christian. She married Wani, a Christian from southern Sudan, in 2011. Muslim women in Sudan are prohibited from marrying non-Muslims, and children must follow their fathers' religions.
Sudan initially blocked Ibrahim from leaving the country even after its highest court overturned her death sentence in June. The family took refuge at the U.S. embassy in Khartoum.
Daniel Wani was granted citizenship when he fled to the United States as a child to escape civil war.

CBS devoted half of Sunday's Face the Nation to the pressing question of "divisions within the Republican Party: Is there room for moderates?" Fill-in host Harry Smith of the Early Show allowed guests Dick Armey and Ed Gillespie plenty of time to reject his premise, but he forwarded the media's widely-held presumption in a series of statements as he simply cued up Dede Scozzafava, the Republican who endorsed the Democrat in the special New York House race: "Do you think you were too moderate?"
To Armey and Gillespie, Smith cited a list of principles some in the GOP want candidates to agree to in order to earn party support, and then posed a series of loaded questions, such as, "Is this litmus test a good idea?" and "some have called it a suicide pact," as well as: "Is moderate a dirty word now in the Republican Party?" Smith was also bewildered anyone could consider South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham inadequately conservative: "Can someone with that kind of credentials be not conservative enough?"
Smith told Armey "some people suggest that the Republicans are fighting a demographic battle that they can't win, that this is going to end up being exclusionary..."
At the top of the November 29 show, after previewing his interview on Afghanistan with Democratic Senator Carl Levin, Smith announced:
Then we'll turn to divisions within the Republican Party: Is there room for moderates. We'll talk with former Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, and former Republican chairman Ed Gillespie.
All of Smith's inquiries to the three guests:
- The headlines out of the GOP this week, this notion, the Republican National Committee considering a list of ten principles. Some have called them "The GOP Ten Commandments," which include things like support for the surge in Afghanistan or opposition for instance to the Obama health plan. As a candidate if you agree with the eight out of ten -- with eight out of ten, you'll get support from the national GOP. And, if you don't, you're out of luck. Dick Armey, is this litmus test a good idea?
- Ed Gillespie, some have called this pact -- or the idea of this pact as apparently the GOP will have a serious conversation about this over the next couple of months to decide whether or not to adopt it. Some have called it a suicide pact. Is it a good idea?
- [to Scozzafava] Would you have been able to at least get, agree on seven or eight out of ten?
- [to Scozzafava] Yet as a conservative -- a conservative insurgent in your district you ended up ceding the nomination to him. Is this kind of a list a do or die list, in the end counterproductive because in your district – in the twenty-third district, which I'm familiar with, if somebody would've suggested a year ago a Democrat would've been elected there, they would've been laughed at. There's a Democrat who is going to Congress now.
- Mister Armey, did this, did it work, this, the push by conservatives to try to seize control by the people, to seize control, which is a sort of one of the ideas of the Tea Party movement. Did it-work in the 23rd District?
- Let me ask Ed Gillespie this question. Is moderate a dirty word now in the Republican Party?
- Lindsey Graham is a frequent guest on this program. His ratings from the Conservative Union are ninety percent. He's under fire. There's a big piece in the New York Times today, in South Carolina because he's not conservative enough. Can someone with that kind of credentials be not conservative enough?
- Dick Armey, some people suggest that the Republicans are fighting a demographic battle that hey can't win, that this is going to end up being exclusionary and you'll end up in a position of not being able to take back the seats you want to take back in this next year.
- Dede, let me ask you this question. Do you think you were too moderate?

I received my jetBook Sept.8, installed and read a comfortably formatted text for 20 minutes, and developed a headache, followed the next day by sore eyes. The reason: glare. In sitting with good the kind of good light I used for pbook reading, I found that I kept making minute adjustments of the angle of the reader so as to try to avoid reflective glare from my reading lights. I had made my purchase on the basis of Dr. Drib's review, but if other people can read on the jetBook without suffering from the glare from its screen display, then that's good news for them; for me, the glare is a deal-breaker, and I'm thinking of returning this to BedBB and opting for a reader with e-ink. If there are any others of you who can avoid the eyestrain and headaches, please let me know how you do it.
One other thing for the ECTACO design people: even the 'Page up/page down' side-scroller on the reader's left edge has a glossy finish to it, and the reflected light from it is distracting.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/5/2013 (1567 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- A new study says most organizations are poorly prepared to usher in a new generation of leaders as the silver tsunami of baby boomers heads for retirement.
About 41 per cent of the 100 global executives surveyed by Odgers Berndtson said their organizations are ready for the cultural changes that will take place as current leaders are replaced by employees from generations X and Y.
"There's going to be a significant culture clash between the baby boom generation, which is leaving the stage, and the generation X and generation Y group that's coming onto the stage," said Carl Lovas, Canadian chairman of Odgers Berndtson.
Organizations will have to undergo structural changes in order to attract and keep new talent because younger generations prefer personal development, flexible hours and work-life balance to the monetary rewards favoured by their predecessors, said Lovas.
"You've got to be able to respond to those requirements if you're going to attract and retain the top talent."
"Those (organizations) who don't understand that are going to be on the outside of those trends. They'll be disadvantaged because they don't get it."
Lauren Friese, owner of the job site TalentEgg, said it's not surprising the younger generations are looking for jobs that provide more opportunities for personal growth and fulfilment.
"It's what you would expect from a generation who was told to follow your passion and not settle for a career that doesn't meet your expectations to find meaningful work," said Friese.

My One Hundred Adventures
My One Hundred Adventures
Schwartz & Wade Books, Hardcover, 9780375845826, 260pp.
Publication Date: September 9, 2008
Jane is 12 years old, and she is ready for adventures, to move beyond the world of her siblings and single mother and their house by the sea, and step into the "know-not what." And, over the summer, adventures do seem to find Jane, whether it's a thrilling ride in a hot-air balloon, the appearances of a slew of possible fathers, or a weird new friendship with a preacher and psychic wannabe. Most important, there's Jane's discovery of what lies at the heart of all great adventures: that it's not what happens to you that matters, but what you learn about yourself.
And don't miss Polly Horvath's Northward to the Moon, the sequel to My One Hundred Adventures.
Starred Review, Booklist, June 1, 2008:
"Unconventionality is Horvath's stock and trade, but here the high quirkiness quotient rests easily against Jane's inner story with its honest, childlike core."
Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2008:
"[A] witty, wise and wonderful novel."
Review, Parenting Magazine, September 2008:
"[T]his tale's full of sweetly memorable moments."
Starred Review, School Library Journal, September 2008:
"This is Horvath's most luminescent, beautifully written novel yet."
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, August 25, 2008:
"[T]his quietly captivating novel marks a new course for National Book Award-winner Horvath."

Beautifully furnished living and dining areas.

Complex Paseo del Sol has Elevators, Private Cenote, Wireless Internet, Free Parking, Concierge, A/C Gym, friendly Stuff and 24-hours security.
We had a great stay in Paseo del Sol. Everything was as described. We loved the unit and were very comfortable there. My children loved the swimming pool and played in it every evening when we returned from other activities. There are two reasons I'm not giving it five stars:
First, after booking the condo, we were not contacted about how to check-in. It took me several calls to finally get ahold of someone who could let me know. This ended up being an issue with the property manager/owner (Alexander) who I had booked the condo through being out of the country. Yazmin, Alexander's counterpart, was very helpful when we finally were able to contact her. When we arrived at the condo, check-in was smooth and all of the staff at the condos were very helpful.
Second, the washing machine broke while we were there. We contacted Yazmin and she sent maintenance to fix the issue, however the fix only worked for one load of laundry before breaking again.
That said, Yazmin was very responsive and did everything she could to fix the issues. I would gladly rent the unit again and stay there. These two issues were only glitches. Yazmin even had cleaners come about halfway through our stay to refresh the towels and toiletry. It was quite a pleasant surprise to come back to a perfectly clean unit.
The condos are a 10 minute walk from Avenida Quinta, the main commercial (and tourist) area in Playa. It was quite and we felt very safe. I recommend this property to others going to the Cancun area. Thanks Yazmin for your help and hospitality.
Love the location, close to Xcaret, Xplor and other attractions. The condo is nice and comfortable, fully equipped, spacious. The one thing I would suggest (I would give them a 5 star rating otherwise) is to have/ give more information/communication when checking in. I had no communication with owner upon our arrival. Personnel at the gate got a hold of the key to the apartment, one person checked in on us once (briefly), we were confused when checking out, but overall a great experience!!!!
Couldn't have asked for better! Very friendly and helpful staff! The grounds and pool were immaculate and very secure! Would stay again and again!!!
I want to thank Alexander and Dimitri for their hospitality during my families recent stay. The unit was beautiful and very clean and I can honestly say that it has the coldest air conditioners in the Caribbean! That was great after playing in the beautiful pool all day. We look forward to seeing you both in the near future! We may consider a month down there in October.
Very well maintained and safe property perfect for a quiet getaway with the family. I wouldn't recommend for younger people looking to let loose but great for relaxing and not to far from 5th ave. The beach and beach club is conveniently right across the street as well.
Удивительное место Paseo del Sol! Попадая сюда словно попадаешь в другой мир) Мир уединения и релакса. В этом месте сочетается все, что нужно для превосходного отдыха как для семьи с детьми, так и для отдельных путешественников: отличные апартаменты, зеленая и охраняемая территория, большой и чистый бассейн, теннисный корт, спорт зал. Очень порадовало то, что до прекрасного Карибского побережья всего 250 метров и возможность пользоваться пляжным клубом отеля Reef. Ну а до знаменитой пятой авеню с клубами, барами и ресторанами как рукой подать!!!
Жду с нетерпением следующего отпуска, потому что я нашла мое идеальное место!

Obama Hedges on Withdrawal
Capping off a week of disappointments for his progressive supporters, Barack Obama backed away from the idea of a timely withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, a signature plank in his campaign. "And when I go to Iraq and have a chance to talk to some of the commanders on the ground," explained Obama, "I'm sure I'll have more information and will continue to refine my policies."
Update: In response to criticism from John McCain's campaign, Barack Obama has clarified his earlier comments, saying he would not extend his timetable for withdrawal, but would consider leaving more troops behind, depending on the advice of military commanders.
New York Times:
Mr. Obama, whose popularity in the Democratic primary was built upon a sharp opposition to the war and an often-touted 16-month gradual timetable for removing combat troops, dismissed suggestions that he was changing positions in the wake of reductions in violence in Iraq and a general election fight with Senator John McCain.
"I've always said that the pace of withdrawal would be dictated by the safety and security of our troops and the need to maintain stability. That assessment has not changed," he said. "And when I go to Iraq and have a chance to talk to some of the commanders on the ground, I'm sure I'll have more information and will continue to refine my policies."
As he arrived for a campaign stop in North Dakota, Mr. Obama told reporters on Thursday that he intended to conduct "a thorough assessment" of his Iraq policy during a forthcoming trip to the country. He stressed that he has long called for a careful and responsible withdrawal of American forces, but he declined to offer a fresh endorsement of his plan to remove one to two combat brigades a month.

Venus Williams was planning on spending this week with her feet up on a well-earned vacation in Thailand before she received a late invite to the AIG Japan Open.
A long-held love for Tokyo meant Williams' holiday plans were put on hold and instead she was on court Tuesday giving Jill Craybas the chance to take a break of her own, beating her fellow American 6-3, 6-1 in the first round.
"I had a free week in Asia and I was actually going to go to Thailand on vacation for a week, but the tournament asked me to play and I thought 'I love Tokyo, I love Japan, so why not?' " former world No. 1 Williams said.
The reigning Wimbledon champion has come off the back of a victory over Maria Kirilenko in the Korea Open final on Sunday, a match in which she played with a heavily bandaged right calf.
Williams is playing through the pain barrier as she looks to qualify for the season-ending Sony Ericsson championships, which brings together the top eight players on the WTA Tour.
"This tournament will certainly help (to qualify for Madrid). That's one of the reasons I decided to play here," said Williams.
Williams racked up some valuable points by beating Kirilenko 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 on the weekend for her third singles title of the year.
She's confident of notching a few more on the hard court at Ariake Colosseum, ideal for Williams' game.
"I love playing fast, hard, aggressive. It excites me," Williams said.
Williams' appearance in Tokyo may well have given the fans a lift after the late withdrawal from the men's draw of world No. 1 Roger Federer, but there was more disappointment early Tuesday when Ai Sugiyama crashed out.
The Japanese No. 4 seed, making her 14th appearance at the event, lost 6-3, 6-3 to China's Yuan Meng.
