Baranya is the name of an administrative county (comitatus or megye) in Hungary, in the Baranya region, and also in the former Kingdom of Hungary (see: Baranya (former county)).
Baranya County lies in southern Hungary, on the border with Croatia. The River Drava forms part of its southern border, and the River Danube its eastern border. It shares borders with the Hungarian counties Somogy, Tolna and Bács-Kiskun. The capital of Baranya county is Pécs.
The area has been inhabited since ancient times. Before the Hungarian tribes conquered the area, it was inhabited by Slavs and Avars. Stephen I founded an episcopal seat here.
In 1526 the county was occupied by Ottomans and was freed in 1689. Its medieval borders remained unchanged until 1919. According to the peace treaty of Trianon the southern part of the county (1163 km²) reverted to Slavic rule (present-day Croatia). The re-organizing of the counties (1950) brought only minor changes (town of Szigetvár got there).
Baranya has the largest number of minorities in Hungary (more than twice the country average), providing home to 34% of the German minority and 32% of the Southern Slav minorities in Hungary.

Eden Kozlowski, Contributor
Waking Times
As a lover and teacher of meditation and mindfulness, I see the adverse affects of stress everyday in my clients – physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am witnessing more and more that any moments of awareness we can give ourselves during the day can be powerful and place us swiftly into a calmer and more connected place. This can happen whether you decide to do a 20-minute meditation OR simply take a second to notice what is around you with awareness and clarity. Big steps or lil' steps; they are all steps.
Here are four simple exercises to bring some mindfulness and calmness to you right now:
- Stop and feel gratitude for one thing in your life. First, think about it in detail, then pause, and place your left hand on your heart to feel it. When I say feel it, literally breathe it in, feel your heartbeat and see if you can notice it energize (because it will, whether you are conscious of it or not). What this does: We are a society driven by "what's next." We pass from thing to thing without taking the time to notice what we have accomplished or the big/little things that were important along the way. One minute of this focused and grateful consideration can change the direction of your whole day. There is so much more good in our lives than we allow ourselves to see. See it!
- Pause 3-5 times today and take note of how you are breathing. As you are doing this ask yourself: Am I holding my breath? Is it shallow or deep? Is it tight or flowing? Find the words to really name how your breath feels. What this does: Our breath is everything. Obviously, without it – we aren't. Breathing constricts during stress or tension, which cuts off the natural flow of oxygen to the brain, which therefore influences every other part of your body. Your breath is life. How are you choosing to live it?
- Invite yourself to really pay attention to all the food that you eat today or simply one snack or one meal. Do you see this item or items as calories or nourishment? When you are done eating/drinking, what does your body feel like? Do you eat rapidly or methodically? What else do you do while you eat? What this does: If you are an American, chances are you don't think much about your food. This exercise gives you a chance to connect with what sustains you. Also ask, how was this food grown? How many people had a hand in producing what I am eating? Then, get deeper… is this food organic or not? If not, what does that mean? Food is so important in every aspect from our health to the methods in which it was produced how that affects our environment and our world. Be conscious and see what happens.
- If you are going to take a shower or a bath today, I challenge you to make it an experience rather that just a task. Questions to ask yourself: How does the water feel on my body? Where does this fresh water come from? What does it feel like to be "clean." Where do the water go? How do I feel when I'm done? What this does: Everyday tasks can take on a new vibe when really observed. This can be anything from washing dishes, brushing your child's hair, cooking… and, yes, even cleaning out your ears. Also, doing an exercise that involves water is extra nice as water is such an important force our lives. Like our breath, we can't live without it and at the same time, it is us.
In conclusion, mindfulness is about being engaged; experiencing all the little, fabulous details and feelings. And, in turn, it makes us softer and calmer. These details also begin to connect us to the big picture and the glorious web that embraces all of us snuggly with everyone and everything. Mindfulness and meditation allow full body, full mind and full spirit experiences. An hour a day or a minute a day… it and you can bring more peace to the world… one connected thought at a time.

Learning and self-confidence in contests
[Lernen und Selbstvertrauen in Wettkämpfen]
The paper studies a repeated contest when contestants are uncertain about their true abilities. A favourable belief about one's own ability (confidence) stimulates effort and increases the likelihood of success. Success, in turn, reinforces favourable beliefs. We consider a specific example in which this reinforcement mechanism implies that, with positive probability, players fail to learn their true abilities, and one player may eventually win the contest forever. As a consequence, persistent inequality arises, and the worse player may eventually prevail. Furthermore, confidence is self-serving in that it increases a player's utility and the likelihood to be the long-run winner.

Whatcha got?
Miles in March
139.39. Kinda short, there was a week of vacation in there, and a taper week for a half marathon. Looking for about 200 in April.
247.6 A little less than I had scheduled, but still a record for me.
277.9 in March with a 100 mile rolling week to celebrate my 1 year streak
80. More miles than in january/february combined. Average pace: 7:30/mile.
195 in March, 616 year to date.
213 miles...2nd highest month to date. 475 for the year. Special thanks to spring for showing up and bringing some great running weather in this neck of the woods.
234.3 - at least 50 more miles than I've run in any month in the last year.
169.60 - a PR for me. This month included a marathon.
190. This bad cold cost me my first 200 mile month… but still a new record for me by over 20 miles….
37 miles for March (15 runs). Highest month since August '13...it's been a long, slow comeback. But progress is progress, no matter how slow.
I'm even more excited about the 165 eggs I collected from my chickens this month!
After I posted, I was like--why is the RW logo backwards?! Is my computer messed up or this an April Fools thing?!
Then I saw Moth's activity title and knew what it was!
218 - best month yet!
150.2, lowest in 5 months, but I lost almost a week due to illness.
Month: 131 miles / Year: 327 miles
80 for the month, 235 for the year. Still on pace to meet this years milage goal
You guys are beasts! Wow, I seem like a beast compared to my friends but a major slacker compared to you all lol.
January: 57.5
February: 80.0
March: 81.90
Year: 219.54
148.27...no more polar schmortex thingy so i should be going up up up in april! "-)
170.27 miles / 520 ytd
on the goals for 2014:
- consistent mileage over 2014in2014 goal, on track for 2000 for the year
- ran one race - fairly prepared for short maximum effort race.
- one 14-16 mile LR (of a goal 10, 14-16 milers) - 15 miles
- no half marathon, yet.
Best first quarter since starting running, 5/11.
January - 166.05
February - 99.86
March - 162.31
YTD (including this morning) - 435.91
154.0 for the month / 426.1 for the year.
A new record for me. And I second MPJ's comment that nicer weather will bring higher milage.
338 for the month and 5 LRs (18, 2x20, 22 and 24). I have another month of basically the same, but I expect to finish with less, closer to 300 miles.
Thanks! But you could do it on much less miles, you know. My first 3 marathons were done on 18/55. Run a few marathons and you'll see what works best for you.
Glad to be back in the 100's in March. Now that stress fracture has healed I am hoping to stay there!!
The rest of you guys are incredible with the miles you run.
March 101.9
February 69.6
January 121.9
105.21 for the month, 327.26 for the year so far... Slow and steady, moving along
Thanks!But you could do it on much less miles, you know. My first 3 marathons were done on 18/55. Run a few marathons and you'll see what works best for you.
+1 While 338 miles is very impressive, it's definitely not required to BQ. (And HL here is running 25+ minutes under her BQ time.)
146.48 miles for March. Highest monthly total ever, so that's cool 306.36 for the year so far.
118 for March, my mostest yet.
271 for the year. On pace to do 1100+ for the year.
Beat my personal best by almost 20 miles and ahead of pace for my yearly goal of 2,000 miles. Hoping to hit the 200 mile mark in April.
March - 193
February - 168
January - 150
148.98. If I had known I was so close to my first 150 mile month, I would have gone on yesterday to get one mile in. Oh well, still a PB and have way more scheduled this month. 329.97 for the year.
208 for March. First time I ever went over 200 thanks to being about 10 weeks deep into training for a Memorial Day Marathon
147.6 miles
A little less than I was shooting for, but well ahead of last year.
Thanks! But you could do it on much less miles, you know. My first 3 marathons were done on 18/55. Run a few marathons and you'll see what works best for you.
While I'm the 1st to tout higher mileage, especially if you're eye-ballin' the marathon and or a BQ, it's possible to BQ on less than ideal mileage points. I set my marathon PB in my 3rd year running [after a 7 year break]. During that three year [actually more like 2.5 years] period I averaged 69 miles per month [yes, month not per week]. My debut was a 3:35 on zero training, 3:22 the next year [in the hottest marathon I've ever run] and 3:05 my 3rd year. *
Here's my monthly mileage for the year leading up to the marathon in October.
January 9 miles
February 38 miles
March 88 miles
April 93 miles
May 89 miles
June 81 miles
July 111 miles
August 132 miles
September 209 miles
October 143 miles
I was 26 YO at the time.
* Ironically, this time did not qualify me for Boston [the open standard was 2:50]. A few years later they relaxed the standard to 3:10 and just recently tightened it to 3:05 for the open men.
213 for March
566 for the year.
Big Sur, I'm coming for you!
165 here. I find it funny that I apparently spent 24 hours running during the month.

In 4-color process printing, 4 colors are applied in varying percentages of overlapping dots of cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) to create thousands of colors. In a 4-color screen print (also called 4-color spot printing), each color is premixed to an exact shade and then laid down as a continuous solid color.

|A Prospective Observational Study of Patients With Drug Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii Bacteremia Treated With Antibiotics Therapy
|Brief Summary
|Extensively and multi-drug resistant A. baumannii (AB) represent an emerging threat in hospitals locally and worldwide. There is lack of prospective comparative clinical data to guide optimal strategy for treating such infections. Since it remains unclear how to treat bacteremia caused by AB, the present study aims to enroll patients at multiple sites with extensively drug resistant Acinetobacter species bacteremia receiving different combination therapy to assess treatment outcomes and analyze risk factors associated with mortality.
|Detailed Description
|Patients with AB bacteremia receiving antimicrobial therapy are eligible for this multicenter study. Antimicrobial agents are decided at the discretion of the attending clinical team. Clinical data to be collected include patient demographics (age, gender, underlying diseases, Pitt Bacteremia Score [20], duration of ICU stay and hospitalization before the day of first positive blood culture, central venous catheterization), antimicrobial agents on the day of bacteremia, regimens and durations of combination therapy after enrollment, and outcomes (sequential quantification change of blood A. baumannii polymerase chain reaction [PCR], survival at day 30 after enrollment, and adverse drug reactions of antimicrobial agents). Blood sample will be collected on the day of enrollment (Day 0), Day 1, 2, 3 and 7 for PCR quantification of A. baumannii and for genospecies identification. Primary end points are the interval from study enrollment to negative blood A. baumannii PCR and blood sterilization. Secondary end points are survival at 14 and 30-day after enrollment, adverse drug reactions of antimicrobial agents, and risk factors for survival at 30-day after enrollment. Inclusion criteria: 1. Adults >16 years 2. With blood culture isolate(s) A. baumannii. 3. Informed consent gained. Exclusion criteria: 1. Second/repeat episodes of bacteremia 2. Patients who could not or did not receive antimicrobial treatment 3. Patient not admitted to hospital.

MNF Matchup; Oakland at Seattle
Team Page: Raiders :: Seahawks
72% of The Public Betting Seattle -7 :: Matchup :: Free Picks
Strong defensive play has helped the Oakland Raiders to unexpected consecutive wins. The offense wants a chance to keep the turnaround going.
The surging Raiders look to win three in a row for the first time since the season of their last Super Bowl appearance when they travel to Qwest Field for a Monday night matchup against the sputtering Seattle Seahawks.
Oddsmakers (NFL Odds) have made Seattle -7 point spread favorites for Monday nights game, the over/under has been set at 37 total points (View Sports Books).
Oakland (2-5) hasn't posted three straight wins since a five-game run from Nov. 11-Dec. 8, 2002, en route to an AFC West title and the Super Bowl. Injury-riddled Seattle - the Raiders' former AFC West rival - is trying to avoid losing three in a row for the first time since Oct. 10-24, 2004.
The home team has won the last eight times these teams have met.
On Oct. 22, the Raiders snapped an 11-game losing streak with a 22-9 victory over Arizona. Oakland then got two interception returns for touchdowns last Sunday to defeat defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh 20-13.
Chris Carr returned a Ben Roethlisberger pass 100 yards for one touchdown and Nnamdi Asomugha added a 25-yard interception return for another score. The Steelers drove to the Oakland 3-yard line with less than 3 minutes to play, but linebacker Kirk Morrison broke up a fourth-down pass intended for Santonio Holmes.
``It looked pretty grim out there for a little bit when they were driving and only a touchdown down,'' Raiders safety Stuart Schweigert said. ``But that's when we picked it up and played our best.''
The Raiders have the NFL's worst-ranked offense, failing to score an offensive touchdown in four of seven games and managing only 98 yards against the Steelers - their second-fewest in a game since the 1970 merger.
``It feels like we're just beating our head against the wall a little bit,'' said quarterback Andrew Walter, who passed for only 51 yards. ``We've played seven games and I think we've had one decent outing in terms of the pass game. And that's really the thing that's affecting us as a team most right now.''
Since taking over for the injured Aaron Brooks, Walter has completed just 47.3 percent of his passes, thrown nine interceptions and just three touchdowns while being sacked 28 times.
Coach Art Shell, though, said he's seen positive signs from the second-year pro out of Arizona State.
``When he's given an opportunity to take a look and throw the ball down the field and do those things, he can be very effective,'' Shell said. ``We have to do a much better job of pass protecting, but I think he's coming along very well.''
Oakland will try to avoid an unprecedented fifth consecutive Monday night loss. The Raiders lost 27-0 to San Diego on Sept. 11 and have been outscored 116-27 during their four-game slide on Mondays.
Reigning league MVP Shaun Alexander and Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck helped Seattle (4-3) reach the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history last season.
Injuries to those two could ultimately keep the Seahawks from returning to the postseason in 2006.
Alexander, the league's leading rusher with 1,880 yards last season, his missed the last four games with a cracked bone in his foot. Though he's been pain-free for more than a week, Alexander is expected to miss this contest after X-rays showed his foot hasn't healed completely.
``If the pictures show the doctor what he wants to see, he will play,'' coach Mike Holmgren said Wednesday. ``If they don't, he won't. It's that simple.''
Holmgren added that Alexander could miss next Sunday's game against NFC West co-leader St. Louis.
``It's conceivable the same thing, the same deal, will happen next week,'' the coach said. ``I hope not. I hope he'll be back.''
The Seahawks are just 1-3 with Alexander our of the lineup. In a 35-28 loss to Kansas City last Sunday, Maurice Morris ran for a season-low 47 yards against a defense that had allowed 124 rushing yards per game coming in.
``It was a tough ball game. We battled our hearts out and came up a little short,'' Holmgren said.
Oakland's rushing defense is ninth-worst in the NFL, giving up 129.3 yards per game.
With Hasselbeck expected to miss two more weeks after spraining a knee ligament during a 31-13 loss to Minnesota on Oct. 22, Seneca Wallace will try to build off a good effort in his first career start.
The Iowa State product was 15-for-30 for 198 yards with three touchdowns, including a 49-yarder to Darrell Jackson, but also was intercepted twice.
``Once I relaxed and calmed down, it was just like another game for me,'' said Wallace, whom the Seahawks selected in the fourth round of the 2003 draft. ``It has been a while since I've played a full game.''
Holmgren said Hasselbeck is off crutches and remains on track to return Nov. 19 at San Francisco.

TEL AVIV (Aug. 2)
Yefet Ben-Avraham Zadaka, leader of the Samaritan community in Israel, died last Friday in his home in Holon. He was 87 years old. He was buried in the Samaritan cemetery in Kiryat Shau. His father, Avraham Zadaka, was the first Samaritan to leave Nablus in 1905 to settle in Jaffa, bringing the Samaritan community into close contact with the Jewish community for the first time and laying the foundation for the Israeli-Samaritan community in Jaffa as an off-shoot of the main community in Nablus. Yefet Zakaka broke with Samaritan tradition when he married a Jewish woman in 1924. This has become a practice followed by many other Samaritans.

Maria Sharapova withdraws from US Open
NEW YORK - Maria Sharapova pulled out of the US Open yesterday (Aug 21) because of a right shoulder injury.
The US Tennis Association announced the withdrawal of the 2006 champion, who has played only one match on tour since her second-round loss at Wimbledon in June.
Sharapova originally was seeded third at the US Open. The USTA said last year's Wimbledon runner-up Agnieszka Radwanksa would shift from No 4 to No 3, and all other seeded players below her would move up a spot, too.
The USTA said Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova would become the No 32 seed.
The draw for the year's last Grand Slam tournament is today. Play begins Monday.
Sharapova's surprising exit caps a tumultuous couple of weeks for the four-time major winner and former No 1-ranked player.
She was sidelined by a hip injury after Wimbledon, then hired Jimmy Connors as her coach - an arrangement that lasted all of one match, a loss.
Sharapova last skipped the US Open in 2008, when she was off the tour for about 10 months because of surgery on her right shoulder.
She won her first major title since that operation at last year's French Open, completing a career Grand Slam.
Earlier yesterday, former top-10 player Mardy Fish withdrew from the US Open, citing personal reasons. AP

Strike a pose
Pose Mii, the fourth of the nine stages tests your ability to twist the Wii remote accurately and also tasks players with matching one of three poses before their opponent. To begin with it's just a case of selecting the right pose and pointing it at the appropriate silhouette before it falls to the bottom of the screen. Soon enough, though, you have to also make sure you've twisted the correct Mii pose to the desired angle as well - not easy when there are several silhouettes all falling down at the same time. If either player misses three of their silhouettes, it's Game Over for them, and the player with the highest score wins.
Laser hockey, meanwhile, is reminiscent of those air hockey games in the arcade where you have to try and whack the puck into your opponent's goal while doing your best to defend your own goal. Once again, this game's designed to not only improve pointing skills, but also give players practice in twisting the Wii remote. With an added bit of angle applied to your paddle, you can ricochet shots in off the sides of the court and bamboozle your hapless opponent - or end up getting yourself in a horrible muddle and score some embarrassing own goals by trying to be too clever. Like a logical progression of the kind of bat and ball Pong variants that many of us played in the late '70s and early '80s, Laser Hockey is definitely one we'll be returning to repeatedly.
Even better is Billiards - a fantastic demonstration of the Wii remote's potential. Displayed in familiar 3D view (or overhead view with the A button), you first have to line up the direction of your shot by holding down the B (trigger) button and pointing it left or right of the ball (or using the d-pad). Once you're happy with the direction, you then have to tentatively position the precise spot where you want to hit the cue ball, allowing you to apply the necessary backspin or topspin as required. And once that's applied, you use the Wii remote like a proper cue, pulling back on it with a cue motion (with B held down), slamming it forward to connect the cue with the ball and releasing B at the same time. If you mess up you'll be deducted points from your eventual total and the other player gets to place the cue ball anywhere on the table. As a quick demonstration of what the Wii remote is capable of, this is hugely satisfying, although Pool would have been even better.
A nice hook
Fishing, meanwhile, is one of the mini-games which has much in the way of potential, but seems rather too fiddly for its own good. The premise and execution is easy enough - simply dunk your rod in a small-ish pool and try and coax your hook near the mouths of the (rather large) fish that swim around obligingly. Once you get a bite, the Wii remote vibrates slightly, giving you a small window of opportunity to swing the controller upwards as if you were hooking it out of the water. Often, though, the fish will get away unless you're quick, leaving you to try and reposition your rod at the same time as your player. Sometimes you'll find yourself going for the same fish (especially the larger, more valuable, bonus fish), so just make sure you're wearing headgear - as there's a tendency for the Wii remote to be used as a weapon when you win.
The eighth stage, Charge, is a pretty simplistic racing game where you're basically tasked with riding a cow and score points by knocking down as many scarecrows as you can along the way. Utilising a mixture of tilting and upward swinging, you first have to use the Wii remote in the unfamiliar horizontal orientation - rather like a handlebar. Effectively all you have to do to win is push forward to speed up and steer left and right to guide your cow towards the many scarecrows that litter the course, with optional upward swings to jump over the hurdles, or tilt downwards towards you to slow down. With a simple 'most points wins' premise and an easy control system, it's a good demonstration of how it will be used in racing games, but ultimately too shallow to offer much entertainment for more than a few attempts.
The last of the nine stages, Tanks, is the only one to make use of the Nunchuck directional control - and it's optional at that. The action is displayed in old-school bird's eye view, and the general idea is to use shells and mines to destroy all the enemies on the screen. Doing so requires not only being able to aim and shoot at your target successfully, but steering your tank as well - either via the d-pad on the Wii remote or the easier method of hooking up the Nunchuck analogue stick. Once you've cleared the screen, you move onto a slightly more difficult stage - often with walls obscuring your target, thus requiring a little more effort in terms of steering properly. Again, it's one of those stages which is simple and mildly amusing for a few goes, but spectacularly lacking in long-term depth. It certainly serves its purpose in preparing Wii owners for similar games that require dual aiming and movement co-ordination, but beyond that, its inclusion is questionable.
Wii Play is definitely a good means of making sure players from less experienced backgrounds get to get used to various game types and control system before they're unleashed into the wider world. The likes of Billiards, Shooting Gallery and Laser Hockey have the sort of Everyman appeal that Nintendo is right to place front and centre in an introductory budget release like this. On the other hand, the very fact that Wii Play is so deliberately basic by design means that it's a compilation that only scratches the surface of the types of games we're likely to see designed to exploit the Wii remote. Wii Play has a few timeless gems that should prove to be party favourites this Christmas, but regular gamer, in particular, shouldn't expect the novelty value to endure much beyond that. Think of this as commercial tutorial.

State Payroll Services
Overview of Bureau of State Payroll Services
The Bureau of State Payroll Services (the Bureau) is responsible for ensuring that New York State government employees are paid timely and accurately in accordance with appropriate laws, rules, regulations and contractual provisions. The Bureau performs its responsibilities for employees of the New York State Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches, the State University of New York, and the City University of New York senior colleges.
Four Sections specializing in various payroll disciplines conduct the work of the Bureau.
The Earnings Section has a wide variety of responsibilities which focus on ensuring that approximately 250,000 State employees in more than 500 payroll agencies are paid correctly and in accordance with appropriate laws, rules, regulations, and contractual provisions. The Section performs its responsibilities for employees of the Executive, Judiciary, Legislature, State University, and senior colleges of the City University of New York.
The weekly transaction review covers both the Administrative and Institution pay cycles for the Executive and Non-Executive Branch agencies. Earnings Section staff analyze weekly payroll information submitted by agencies in the payroll system (PayServ). Specific categories of review include:
- Additional Pay – Pay categories which must be included in the calculation of overtime. Two (2) categories: recurring (a.k.a. - Additional Salary Factors) and one-time (a.k.a. - PS&T Longevity). The additional payments that are recurring every pay period are added to an employee's base annual salary for calculations of their biweekly payment. One-time payments that impact the overtime calculation are added to an employee's base annual salary and processed for a specific period of time. Used for negative earnings codes (such as overpayment and salary withholding), lump sums, tax purposes, miscellaneous payments, etc.

Students were visited by Reggae Reggae sauce inventor Levi Roots last week who shared how he created the brand.
Mr Roots spoke to the Thames Christian College pupils, in Wye Street, Battersea, invited students to present their own business ideas to him.
The Dragons Den star spoke about how the sauce outsold Heinz tomato ketchup in Sainsbury's stores the week it was launched.
He offered practical advice on how to work as an entrepreneur, adding personal anecdotes of success and mistakes he made along the way.
Pupils gave business pitches to Mr Roots who acted as a dragon.
The winning team came up with the idea to renovate second hand vans, personalising them for commercial customers and selling them on for a profit.
The college boasts a good relationship with Mr Roots, with his café next to the school providing school dinners.

Northeast of the boat landing approximately 1km is one of the areas recently logged areas. Once the tree is cut it is left for one year to dry. While drying the tree also shrinks slightly which allows for the bark to be stripped from the tree as can be seen from the light colored logs in the distance. The bark is stripped in two steps.
When a tree is to be harvested a bottom section of the bark, which is about 4 ft in height is cut from the tree. This causes the tree to die and is normally done in the spring. When the tree is felled the rest of the bark is removed and used in making fires. The first bark cut from the tree is cut neatly from the tree and is used for roofing material or siding and has a lifespan of about 5 years.

What does your class, Site Selection and Contract Negotiation, teach students?
The focus of the class is on hotel negotiation and site selection. What students walk away with is a better understanding of the perfect fit for a venue. They get a better understanding of why they would choose a particular property versus another property. They learn the tools and resources to negotiate better. That results in very high-end, hard-dollar savings, as well as huge liability savings. Especially in today's environment, how things are moving, or canceling, or postponing, we found that by negotiating very protective clauses, is huge for a client. So they find that, in turn, it makes their job more secure.
So the class covers a bit of procurement as well?
Procurement, absolutely. It's getting a better understanding of not only the savings, but knowing that you're really putting your people in the right place and the right environment. There are many different facets. The biggest takeaway is the right fit and the financial fitting and protection on liability.
Are there any activities or group exercises in your class?
Yes, we have real-world experience. We connect with a property in San Diego and showcase them. We ask them to create a contract that we hand over to the students. Part of their homework assignment is to see how they can make that contract better. They actually bring that mock contract to a hotel for a site inspection, and conduct a mock negotiation in front of the class. So we'll find a hotel and have them look at the contract, then a week later we'll go to that hotel and actually walk through as a real site inspection so the students can get an overall property feel, and to see behind the scenes. We take all of the information and go back to a hotel meeting room and then the students see a demonstration. A hotel sales person and I negotiate a contract, so they see it in action – back and forth on negotiations. They get to see the entire dialogue on how a contract is put together. And at the very end I share a sample hotel savings report. The report indicates all of the hard-dollar concessions, and it will pull up that savings value for each concession. We then calculate what the liability savings are. So at the end, students have a really great value report they can share with their investing team and management team, which is pretty powerful.
Tell me a little bit about yourself and why you got into meeting and event planning?
I've been in the travel and hospitality industry for almost 30 years and I actually started out as a travel agent and discovered in the mid-1980s that there was a specialty need for meeting and event planners. It was a new, upcoming career path, and what I really enjoyed about the hospitality industry and getting involved in meeting planning was the creativity side. I kind of used my experience from the travel side and fused that into the creative side. It was a perfect marriage.
What surprised you about the industry when you first started?
When you really dive into the nucleus of setting up an event and discover all of the details and strategies that are behind it, you realize "Wow, I had no idea that this much work and detail goes into it."
As someone who has been in the industry for many years, what advice do you give to students?
Protect your reputation. Just make sure that you do the right thing. It's a very large industry but it's a very small one too. People know you. So always do the right thing.
In your opinion, what type of person excels in meeting and event planning?
Somebody with organizational skills, because it's so detailed. A person who has a passion for the hospitality industry because you will be working with a lot of people and using your creative side. People feel your passion. Continue to always learn, because it is always changing.
What should students know about the program, or your class, or the industry?
Walking into the industry, there are unlimited opportunities. There are just so many different facets of this industry. I always stress to the students that it looks very glamorous because most of the events you walk into are very glamorous or fun, but there's a lot of hard work behind the scenes. As an example, I'll go on these site inspections with my client, sometimes involving four or five cities within four or five days. And you're maybe reviewing four to five hotels a day; you walk nonstop and you're on your feet, writing copious notes, and taking photos. It's a lot of work. Get prepared.

The body of a Forest Lake man who went missing on Monday was recovered from Forest Lake today, July 5. According to the Forest Lake Police Department, the body of Tod Alan Crawford, 51, was located by a member of the public at 11:25 a.m. on First Lake, about one-half mile from where his unoccupied pontoon boat was found floating three days ago. The search was still underway at the time, with the Washington County Sheriff's Office combing the lake by boat and the State Patrol looking on from helicopter.
The county water patrol team transported the body to shore and turned it over to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office. An autopsy will be performed, which is standard procedure.
Police were first alerted to the situation Monday afternoon when a youth on a jet ski found a dog swimming around the unattended pontoon boat.

It's almost time. Arizona Cardinals Training Camp 2014 opens on July 26 and, as usual, key questions abound.
? 2009 Michael Wifall, Flickr | CC-BY-SA | via Wylio*
They do for every NFL team.
Let's take a look at two important questions that need to be answered as the Red Birds try and improve on a very encouraging 10-6 season last year.
Can quarterback Carson Palmer lead the Cardinals to the NFC playoffs?
In order for Arizona to advance to the playoffs, the veteran signal-caller must cut down on the amount of interceptions he tossed in 2013. The USC product threw 22 interceptions – too many – but cut down on the number of picks significantly in the second half of the season. That was one of the main reasons the Cards stayed in the playoff hunt until Week 17.
The 34-year-old Palmer threw for 4,274 yards and 24 touchdowns last year and displayed a strong arm at his "advanced" age. With an improved offensive line and the addition of speedster Ted Ginn Jr. to the squad, Palmer should have a very solid upcoming season behind center.
Palmer also has a full year now in Bruce Arians' offensive system and a dynamic running back in Andre Ellington to keep defenses honest.
So yes, if he remains healthy, Palmer can certainly lead the Red Birds to the playoff tournament.
Have the Cardinals finally found their left tackle?
Arizona spent a lot of money ($17 million guaranteed) to sign former Oakland Raider Jared Veldheer to a five-year pact when free agency commenced in March. The Hillsdale College product will be counted on to protect Palmer's blind side and to help open up some running lanes for Ellington and company.
Coaches and players seem confident that the Cardinals have found a stellar left tackle to anchor their line.
As long as he stays healthy.

Dater X: An Unexpected (And Surprisingly Pleasant) OKCupid Run-In
The other night when a number I didn't recognize flashed on my phone, I decided to answer the call and was greeted with a cheerful, "Hey there, it's Andrew."
"Andrew?" I replied, clearly confused about who was on the other end of the line. "I'm sorry. Andrew who?"
"From the bar on Saturday night. You gave me your number," he said, sounding slightly defeated by my forgetfulness.
And then it hit me. I knew exactly who he was. He was my OKCupid run-in.
Over the weekend, I was out at my favorite local pub with a group of friends, when a decently attractive guy in a blue "Drink For A Cause: Autism Awareness Bar Crawl" T-shirt came up to me and introduced himself as Andrew.
"I don't mean to be upfront, but you're on OKCupid, aren't you?" he asked after I told him my name. A bit taken aback, I wasn't sure if I should be creeped out by the recognition or glad that I actually look like the photos in my profile. When I confirmed that yes, I'm on OKCupid, he replied with, "It's nice to finally meet you in person. I messaged you once, but you didn't respond, so I saw you from across the room and figured I'd introduce myself. I hope that isn't weird."
Normally, I think the forwardness would have been a turn-off, but there was something genuine about him that just seemed … nice. He smiled and stuck out his hand to shake mine. He was cute, personable and was drinking for a charity, which is pretty much my favorite activity ever, but I knew immediately why I must have ignored him online. Andrew was my height exactly. At 5′ 7″, I've always felt most comfortable dating men who are at least a few inches taller than me, with the exception of Don, who's 5′ 10″ and Officer Handsoming, who's 5′ 9″. But while I was dating both of those guys, I remember feeling awkward and uncomfortable when I wore shoes with a heel, which for me is often. No matter how hard I tried to ignore the fact that I appeared taller than them, those couple of inches always bothered me. So now when someone under 5'9″ approaches me online, I almost always leave them hanging. No, it doesn't mean they're not great guys. No, it doesn't mean I'm superficial. It's just something that makes me feel self-conscious. And I think that's okay.
Anyway, at this point in the night I had already reached my drink limit and was starting to feel reallllly good. Andrew and I chatted for a while about his bar crawl, danced to The Backstreet Boys "Everybody" (which I requested the DJ play, obviously) and before Andrew left the bar, I gave him my number. Things were fuzzy, but I remembered thinking, Why the hell not?
It wasn't until he called that I remembered our interaction, but I didn't mind that he gave me a ring. In fact, I thought it was ballsy and I was actually impressed that he didn't just send me a text like most men do these days. As we spoke, I had small flashbacks to our conversation at the bar and little details about him started to come back to me: He's currently employed by a construction company, but is pursuing an acting career on the side. He still lives at home with his parents to save money and has one sister. He loves scary movies, but has seen "Frozen" with his mom nearly a dozen times, which I think is kind of hilarious. We talked about ghost encounters (he swears there's a photo in his room thats possessed), my lack of sobriety the previous weekend and just life in general.
Our conversation flowed effortlessly, and before I knew it, 45 minutes flew by. I was exhausted.
"I should probably get going. It's almost past my bedtime," I said.
"Whoa! I'm so sorry I kept you so long. I didn't even realize how late it got. But the reason I called was because I wanted to see if you'd like to get together to hang out this week. I'd love to grab dinner or coffee or something if you're up for it."
I thought about his height, and how I'd likely never be comfortable with him on an intimate level, but decided in that moment that I didn't care.
"That sounds great. I'll know my schedule better in a few days, so give me a call then and we'll figure something out," I said. We got off the phone and I smiled.
In my newfound pursuit of being a happy single woman, I decided that I need to put all of my expectations and must-haves aside for a while to focus on the now. I want to laugh and smile and meet new people, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Andrew might not be my "perfect guy," but maybe he's a nice little reminder that good guys exist and that I don't need to be on the hunt for Mr. Right all the time. There's always a possibility that we'll go to dinner and have a miserable time, but there's also a possibility that we won't. Maybe we'll become friends. Maybe we'll become more than friends (even though I'm not looking for it). And at the very least, even if I don't find myself attracted to him, there's something to be said about being asked out by a cute guy who thinks I'm worth knowing. And I get to wear flats. Score!

Today, two of Congressman Tom Perriello's bills cleared key hurdles in Congress, passing successfully through the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The Surface Transportation Savings Act of 2010 (H.R. 5604), which Perriello introduced last week, would rescind $106.8 million in unspent transportation funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Federal Transit Administration. These funds are not available for use by these agencies in fiscal year 2010, and the savings achieved from this legislation will be used to reduce the national deficit.
"This is a common-sense and practical step toward reducing the deficit and cleaning up our books. Let's at least start by reclaiming federal dollars that agencies say they cannot even use and pay down the debt. It's a small step, like keeping my office expenses under budget, but at least a step in the right direction," said Perriello.
Specifically, the bill rescinds:
* $80,994,029 of amounts authorized for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's safety belt performance grants in FY 2010.
* $6,547,000 of amounts authorized for administrative and related operating expenses of NHTSA in FY 2010.
* $78,000 of amounts authorized for NHTSA to carry out the National Driver Register in FY 2010.
* $1,829,000 of amounts authorized for the NHTSA's highway safety research and development program in FY 2010.
* $17,394,000 of amounts authorized for the Federal Transit Administration's formula programs and bus grants in FY 2010.
The funds to be rescinded from NHTSA's safety belt performance grants program cannot be expended by the agency because only three states are expected to meet the eligibility criteria for the program. In other cases, the money targeted for rescission exceeds the appropriation for FY2010, and therefore cannot be expended.
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee also passed Perriello's resolution, Supporting the Goals and Ideals of Railroad Retirement Day (H. Res. 1463), which will recognize this day on August 29, 2010.
"It is important to honor both the commitment and labor of the railroad industry workers. Without them, our country would not have experienced such success in westward expansion and in the growth of industry. Today, the railroad industry remains an important piece of our nation's transportation infrastructure, and it would not be able to run without the ongoing efforts of railroad workers. There are nearly 3,000 railroad retirees in Virginia's 5th district and we honor their years of hard work with this resolution," said Perriello.

Baroque music enriches Bach style in symphony concert
The debut of Jeannette Sorrell with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra was an especially joyous occasion on Friday night.
The American conductor and harpsichordist brought an exciting combination of individuality with decisive yet graceful style to Johann Sebastian Bach's Six Brandenburg Concertos.
Sorrell is the founding music director of Cleveland's period instruments orchestra, Apollo's Fire, with which she has enriched many a season of the Pittsburgh Renaissance and Baroque Society back to the 1990s.
Friday's performance at Heinz Hall surmounted all of the potential problems of playing baroque music with a modern orchestra in a big hall. Sorrell used a small ensemble, with all the musicians standing except for cellos and harpsichord.
From the start of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 1, it was apparent that Bach's music would reach the ear with virtually perfect balance and transparency, that the incredible richness of Bach's textures would provide many delights at any given moment for the listeners' ears.
Sorrell's sense of pacing was energetic and free of metronomic rigidity. Her use of agogic accents was part of broader gestures, which however strong were never heavy handed. They were expressive gestures.
She was at her freest in an improvisatory performance of the long cadenza in the first movement of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, even coming to a stop as she created the illusion that the music was finding its way at that moment.
There was particular delight to be taken from the playing of the orchestra musicians, starting with oboist Cynthia DeAlmeida in the first movement of the First Concerto. DeAlmeida's phrasing had wonderful nuance of articulation and dynamics, and her tone was gorgeous and pointed. Hornists William Caballero and Robert Lauver were terrific in the second trio. Incidentally, the concerto's third movement was played after the Menuetto.
Concertmaster Noah Bendix-Balgley played with wonderful musicality throughout the concert, and surpassing virtuosity in the Fourth Brandenburg. George Vosburgh was outstanding in the high-flying trumpet part in the Second Concerto, in which he was a soloist along with flutist Lorna McGhee, DeAlmeida and Bendix-Balgley.
Each concerto has a different orchestration, which provides variety and creates a pause for stagehands between pieces. Sorrell provided delightful commentary during those breaks. This is a concert not to be missed.
This concert will be repeated at 8 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday in Heinz Hall, Downtown. Admission is $20 to $93. Details: 412-392-4900 or www.pittsurghsymphony.org.
