Getting A Ship Shape Lawn with Eugene Higgins
Wednesday, 9 April 2008
Today our gardener Eugene tells you how to have a luscious lawn!
Three different types of real lawn available - Eugene recommends that you get a professional to lay these lawns.
Grade One, This lawn is a very refined grass. This is a golf course type grass, used for someone who wants a really fine lawn which requires a lot of work. - €6 / €12 per square metre
Grade Two, Standard lawns. Very popular on sports pitches. Favoured by most people, needs some work but easier to manage than grade one. - €6 / €12 per square metre
Grade Three, A hardier type of lawn which may not be as aesthetically pleasing but works very well as a lawn. - €6 / €12 per square metre
Different types of grass seed available:
Easy repair seed - €8.99 (We have a still of this as it begins taking to the soil)
Easy fix lawn repair - €9.95
Wildflower seed - €19.99 (we have two stills of this when it has grown)
Johnsons Shade Mix (suitable for shaded areas of the garden) - €8.95
Suttons Rapid Green (these are coated with seaweed fertilizer) - €4.95
1. Leaving a thin layer of grass clippings on the lawn. This will help replace lost soil nutrients
2. Spike your lawn with a fork if it has poor drainage
3. Most chemicals fertilizers have salt in them, salt is bad for the soil To combat this, use seaweed fertiliser as it's natural and of course it's organic too. This is best applied Best applied in late summer or early spring
4. Mow high. Don't cut your lawn to lower than one third. You need the grass blades to covert sunshine into sugar(photosynthesis) to feed the roots
5. Keep your grass healthy as it will out compete weeds.
6. During drought, use water efficiently so water to half inch then. hours later to 1 inch use a can close to sprinkler to measure.
7. Autumn is a good time to start a new lawn as ground is warmer
8. 2 inches of new soil is good when seeding a new lawn 4 inches is even better

I found out very early Saturday morning. I had been waiting for this phone call for quite some time, and it finally came in the wee hours of the morning. It wasn't unexpected, but I still hated to hear that my cousin had finally lost his battle with cancer. Cancer sucks. And knowing that another […]

Two years ago at this time, I didn't even own a muzzleloader. But after the last two Decembers, I'm starting to think that I should have bought a smoke pole a long time ago. Last year, on December 16th, in the midst of a drizzly, wet, nasty evening, I managed to complete my season by […]
Since I'm knee deep in college homework, I'll let the pictures do the talking. SOTV is off to a pretty good start this year, and we're just entering the best part of the season. Copyright 2014 SimplyOutdoors.net
It's hard to believe it's November 18th already, and that firearm deer season is already in full swing here in Michigan, but it's fact. The SimplyOutdoors' crew has been hard at it the last few months, and we really have no plans on stopping, despite some of the crew having very successful seasons already; and […]

The hostel has a very cosy atmosphere. The rooms and facilities are really clean and tidy. The location is a bit off the centre but the transport links are not too bad so it doesn't matter very much. Some of the staff could be more welcoming yet everyone is polite and helpful.

The location was marvellous. All major sights can be reached on foot. The atmosphere in the lobby/common room was really nice. The dorm and bathroom were surprisingly clean for an 18 bed room. Everything broken was quickly fixed. A smile from some of the staff members wouldn't have hurt but they were helpful though.

NBA Playoffs 2012: Los Angeles Clippers Vs Memphis Grizzlies Game 1 Highlights (1-0)
so annoying, people saying 'oh suddenly there's loads of clippers fans' maybe clippers fans felt the need to comment on such a sick team clutch performance because its not something you see everyday. Fuck haters go clippers!

thses teams are playing a physical series reggie evans reminds me of my self not a scorer but good screens and physical defense
ur right lob city with rudy gay thank u afk clap clap[ finally a cipplers fan getting flamed by me
ur right lob city with rudy gay thank u afk clap clap[ finally a cipplers fan getting flamed by me
dude we WILL beat clipps there good but not good as grizz then just like last year we will beat spurs and okc wow i dont know what to then ,but we took them to game 7 last year what can i say [but theres a 25% 50% that to get to finals
grizzlies can win a few games they do not suck ,ya they did have a 27 point lead ,they blew it .but think about last year we beat the spurs 1st seed grizz 8th and then we took okc to 7 games grizz are good they dont suck ,[just won game 2 couple hours ago]
how can you say that when they had a 27 point lead? duh
Wow I'm not a clippers fan but the grizzlies suck
i laughed at that shit too, at first the Memphis fans were all like "YEAAA fuck the Clippers" then at the end of the game, they were like "What the FUCK just happened?!?!?" LMAO
2:11 paul traveled
well maybe i wanted to see how the game was since i didnt see it.
tht was a great comeback by the clippers
Everybody talks about how Clippers suck but wasn't it just 2 years ago that Memphis was just as bad? Any team can start off on fire from the field but as it shows time and time again, you won't shoot like that throughout the entire game, you'll cool down.. It was a good feeling at the end of the game to see all those fans shocked and just quiet!! Priceless!!
@ theswiftmcgyver
Probably right, we won't go to the Finals but neither will Memphis.. If they do go on to Round 2 you'll face SAS.. Means you won't make it to the Finals as well cuz if you somehow get past SAS you'll have the Thunder who eliminated you last season or the Lakers!! I'm just saying.. No such thing as giving up a lead.. You played stupidly thinking you had a for sure win, why would you want to give a game away anyway??
Fake griffin nd Jordan are garbage afk they ddnt do shit that game the reason they won is cuz of Evans n young
HD please!!
Clippers are a phony ass team!
Damn the grizzlies suck I bet the clippers were just trying to make it a even worse loss for the grizzlies I'm not even a clippers fan
scoring 17 points
Clippers are a great team and are capable of doing such comebacks as this one. So for all the haters, please watch your mouths. Don't be scared that Clippers are as capable as Lakers.

HUNDREDS of boxing fans turned out to see an evening of top action – all in aid of charity.
Organised by boxing promoter Danny Morgan, around 500 people came to support the Indee Rose Trust, with Southend heavyweight Mike Bourne the main attraction on a night that featured 20 bouts.
Junior boxers and women fights also drew a lot of interest at the fight night, at Concord Rangers' Aspect Arena.
'Iron' Mike Bourne ended the night with a powerful performance against rival Dan Lovett, although plenty of exciting fighters showed their promise.

Boxers from Benfleet and Chelmsford were also very popular, with wins for Alan 'Chopper' Hopkins, Lee Thorne, Mark Collins and Karen Giles amongst the victors on the night.
Concord club announcer Toby Wicks was also in action, winning his bout against David Futter in a confident manner.
Sam Glover (red) lost out against Karen Giles
"It was a great night for all involved," said Morgan, who runs the Ifitness Gym on Canvey. "There was some very impressive boxing on show, including some strong performance from fighters at Ifitness which was very pleasing.
"We are still counting how much money was raised but it was such a success we would consider doing it again year after year.
"I would like to thank the coaches, Craig Salter, Glen Roberts and Georgie Smith on the night for their help."

Johannesburg - Al-Qaeda militants still want ransom money for the return of kidnapped South African Pierre Korkie, the Gift of the Givers Foundation said on Tuesday.
"We got feedback last night 1/8Monday 3/8..." foundation head Imtiaz Sooliman said in a statement.
"Al-Qaeda still wants the ransom money; they can't make exceptions for a South African, otherwise they will have to make exceptions for the three other hostages of different nationalities they were holding."
Sooliman said there was no mention if the initial ransom demand of R32.5 million was negotiable.
Korkie and his wife Yolande were kidnapped by Al-Qaeda militants in Taiz, Yemen, in May last year. She was released and returned to South Africa on January 13.
The Gift of the Givers helped negotiate Yolande Korkie's release.
The foundation had tried to make contact with Al-Qaeda through international media and circulated an interview with their office manager in Yemen, Anas al-Hamati.
Al-Hamati was forced to leave Yemen at the end of January for his own security after Al-Qaeda accused him of stealing the ransom money.
Tribal leaders in Yemen then took over the talks with Al-Qaeda, and had met them on Monday.
"(There was) no comment on Pierre's health. All they said is 'if you give us the money you can have Pierre now'," said Sooliman.
"We now, together with the tribal leaders, have to figure out the next plan of action."
On February 25, tribal leaders found out that Korkie was still alive, but in bad health.
"They even said that Pierre is deaf and that they communicate with him by writing on paper," said Sooliman.

Hot ticket!
James Franco, 32, and Nicole Kidman, 43, are formalizing plans to appear on Broadway in a revival of Sweet Bird of Youth next fall.
The play, penned by Tennessee Williams in 1959, follows a drifter using an aging movie star to break into film. David Cromer is set to direct, while movie mogul Scott Rudin will produce.
Both Kidman and Franco are currently up for leading actor Oscars (for Rabbit Hole and 127 Hours respectively), and he will host the February 27 telecast.
Kidman already has a best actress statue for her performance as Virginia Woolf in 2002's The Hours, which Rudin produced.

Matt Sizemore
Los Angeles-based adult film performer and professional male companion, Matt Sizemore, has a great personal web site [link given below] where you can read about him, perhaps more than one might want to know about an adult film performer or an escort. But Matt considers himself a "frustrated writer" and his site is and has been a good outlet for him.
Sizemore Speaks, his regular column on the web, is a long and candid monthly look at what is going on his life, from his porn career, who he is dating, to what movies or dvds he has seen, and what else goes on his life.
I recently had the opportunity to speak with him by telephone and then meet in person for a face-to-face interview about his escorting, adult film careers and especially about his volunteer work on this year fifth annual Bad Boys Pool Party – Los Angles – on August 10, 2002. Bad Boys Pool Party (BBPP) is Will Clark's annual benefit where the public can meet "hot porn stars" to benefit charity.
HOOK: You started escorting for an agency. What were the advantages of an agency over being independent?
Matt Sizemore: Mainly, it gave me confidence because I always knew there was someone – in this case, a wonderful man named Frank – waiting for me to check in and out. Or sometimes even acting as my driver/bodyguard. And, of course, you don't have to deal with the curious and the cranks – which is ongoing when you're an independent.
HOOK: Why did you use the names of the apostles?
MS: As an escort? I guess it was my way of working through my Catholic upbringing. And not a bad idea to name yourself after a saint when you're having so much fun sinning – in my book, it kind of balances things out.
HOOK: Do you ever have any regrets at all about escorting?
MS: You mean outside of all the money I spend on antibacterial soap? Seriously though, I really don't. Perhaps my biggest regret is that I've turned sex into work and I often times lose track of what my needs are because I'm always focused on the needs of my client. But, then again, that's why I keep four or five hot fuck buddies on tap.
HOOK: What opportunities has escorting brought you that you might not have otherwise experienced?
MS: God – it put me into direct contact with people I never would have been able to meet working, say, in a hospital. People don't realize this, but there is a caste system in health care. The doctor is basically the sun the rest of us gravitate around. But sex is the great equalizer. Here's a good example: when I was 22, an actor and still working with my clothes on, I couldn't get in to see a very powerful agent. I swear, I must've wasted hundreds of dollars in headshots on this one guy alone, but never once did he call. Fast forward to about two years ago when – out of the blue – he called me to request my services. Because I'm a gentleman, I never did bring up the fact that I was once a struggling actor trying to see him. But let me assure you that all the money I invested in discarded head shots has been made back – several times over!
HOOK: You got into escorting full time in 1997 but didn't do your first adult film until 2000. Why films?
MS: Porn was a way to promote myself as an escort.
HOOK: What do you think the advantages are of each?
MS: Well, the money is better in escorting. The sex isn't being directed. I don't want to take away from the mystique out of porn, but making it can be very tedious . . .
Well, there are companies who do not film as much or edit as the top tier companies do, but then this also shows in the finished product. Sometimes there is too much cost cutting. I sometimes wish two cameras were used instead of just one, especially when it's a group scene being filmed. Viewers don't realize that when it's just one camera. They need to come back and get the face and reaction scenes after the cum shots are filmed.
HOOK: You do both: adult films and escort, is there a difference? Some adult film performers argue that they are NOT escorts but many of the clients say otherwise.
MS: The clients are right. There's no difference. You're not paid to be cleaning windows on camera.
HOOK: You started out wanting to be an actor. In the bio on your website, you talk about how you and your ex-wife both came to Hollywood to pursue this dream. How do you compare adult films to what you wanted to do in front of a camera?
MS: It's different. In mainstream acting, you mainly listen and respond. In adult films you do that as well but you also PERFORM. I really appreciate more now that there is a terrific amount of hard work required. It really takes a certain athletic ability and it's far from easy.
HOOK: Why do adult films then?
MS: There's not a lot of money in it, true, just a lot of ego stroking. However, I got into it, originally as I said, because I thought it would promote me as an escort—and it has. What people do not realize about performing in adult films is that you have very little control. You basically sign away your rights when you put your signature on that model release form; you just collect a one-time fee. It's only what you make of it, what you do FROM your career in adult films, that is yours and that you can have any real say over.
HOOK: You're exclusively working with Raging Stallion. How is that going?
MS: I really like the way they treat me. They are allowing me to have a say in who I'm paired with. Often companies don't do that and it makes the shoot demanding. I've often been amazed at how good the finished product looks given the actual circumstances during filming. Some film productions have had really mismatched pairings and I don't understand why they wouldn't work on not having this happen.
HOOK: Who have you enjoyed being paired with?
MS: Well, Michael Brandon was really great. He really exceeded my expectations. He's a great guy and, of course, he has a really great cock. When I saw him hard, I thought to myself what were you thinking with the name 'Sizemore.'
HOOK: You said Raging Stallions gives you a choice of partners. Obviously, there are some limits, for example, performers under exclusive contract to other companies. If this was your own production, you and another adult film performer, who would you pick and why?
MS: Well, I always wanted to work with Michael Vincenzo because he was big a sexual fantasy of mine – since I first met him on the set of Titan's Laid Up (we were in different scenes). But now I hear he's retiring! I'd also love to work with Channel One's Matt Summers because we've already gotten together once in private and it was a damn shame someone didn't have a camera rolling.
HOOK: When we first spoke on the phone, you said you had just gotten back from stripping, something many adult performers do for extra income.
MS: I was at the Bourbon Street Pub for a week in New Orleans. This was my first and probably my last time stripping in public.
HOOK: I'm sure some fans will be disappointed. Why's that?
MS: Well, it's not really my venue. You're dancing on a bar and I'm not the most coordinated person and you have to be careful you don't kick over someone's drink. I also have a bit of a fear of heights and almost fell off the bar twice. Some of the guys dancing were good at it, great at making eye contact, working the crowd, earning those tips. Chris Steele was a total pro, even though it was his first or second time. Jim Slade was also a natural and Aaron Tanner loved being in the spotlight.
HOOK: Was there anything you did enjoy about the experience?
MS: Oh, I had a blast. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed the other guys. The staff was nice to me and I enjoyed being in New Orleans. When I got to talk to the guys who wanted to meet me, it was really great. I am really more comfortable one on one.
HOOK: Did you get to see any clients, escort at all in New Orleans?
MS: Well, my schedule was really different than it is in Los Angeles. I was dancing all night, 'til late, then we would eat and then sleep. But I did see a fair number of clients, all of whom were great. They were all very sweet, very gracious. That is one of the really great aspects about escorting. Going to someone's home, seeing how and where they live, especially on this trip; some of the old houses and great apartments in the French Quarter, it also helped make the trip for me.
HOOK: So you enjoy the 'meet and greets.' Have you done many, Will Clark's Cocktails With Stars, for example?
MS: I've done it twice — no three times — and really enjoyed myself each time. It's a great opportunity for the audience to find out we're [porn actors] real people. I also really like the energy of meeting people one-on-one. The older I get, the more I find myself more and more comfortable in intimate situations, which these are, even if there's a crowd around you, because you are still on an individual level with the person right in front of you.
HOOK: Was that how you met Will?
MS: No, actually, it's a funny story. I had a boyfriend when Will was just starting out in porn. This boyfriend was hired to photograph him. It was one of Will's first shoots. He came in and we all wondered who this guy was. Will spent part of the shoot trying this whole seduction routine on me. I just laughed and told him, "Baby, you don't need to do that to me." As he left, my boyfriend said, "There goes a star."
HOOK: So you've been involved with the Bad Boys Pool Parties (BBPP) before? The events that Will produces for charity?
MS: Actually, the 2001 event in Los Angeles last summer was the first one I went to. I wasn't one of the featured performers, and I missed the one in Palm Springs earlier this year, so this will be my second time.
HOOK: You are going to work on the production aspects of BBPP5, how did that happen?
MS: Well, I had wanted to get back into production [on Matt's site, he talks about a play of his produced locally and other work he has done in the entertainment industry]. I also wanted to do volunteer work again. When Will suggested this, it was a good way to do both. He really does a great job but as the event has grown, he knows he needs to delegate more and needs help putting it all together.
HOOK: You said you were getting involved with BBPP in part because you wanted to do volunteer work again. Where have you volunteered in the past ten years, and what motivated you to those particular groups or that particular kind of work?
MS: I used to work primarily in psychiatry at a major hospital, so I have a lot of compassion for the mentally ill. Also, I've done some volunteer work for APLA and Project Angel Food – but really not enough. I think it was taking care of a dying Matt Gunther that motivated me to be more involved in AIDS charities. This was back in 1994 – and Matt was someone I always wanted to have sex with – and one day this poor guy in a wheelchair was admitted for depression. Of course, I immediately recognized him, but was way too professional to mention I was a fan. He was with us for about two weeks. Within that time not one person came to visit. It was really, really sad, because he was glued to the pay phone out in the hall and it was painfully obvious to one and all he'd burned too many bridges. When his benefits ran out, the nurses literally dumped him out on the sidewalk. I read somewhere that he died shortly thereafter.
HOOK: What was your overall impression of last year's BBPP, the 2001 L.A. edition?
MS: That the fans really do turn out! I arrived really late and was afraid I would be lost in the crowd. But as soon as I hit the door, three people came up and asked me for my autograph. And I'd only been doing videos for about six months back then.
HOOK: If you were in charge of BBPP, what would you have changed from that year?
MS: I can't really say…I think the venue for this year's bash is superior to last's in that we have much more room – including a large space indoors to get out of the sun and have something cool to drink. I also think Will deserves a tremendous amount of credit for putting these events together, having seen firsthand now how much planning goes into a Bad Boys Pool Party. And I have to really applaud him for his past skill and effort.
HOOK: I know you have produced and acted in the past, and that you have written plays. Is there anything you are working on presently or are trying to get produced that your fans could see anytime soon?
MS: Well, I was working on a companion piece of sorts to "Girl of the Year" – my play about the Warhol Pop 60s. Problem is it's about Hollywood in the late '60s, during the summer of the Manson murders, and I'm just having a hell of a time deciding how I want to depict this harrowing event. I do know I want it to be like the movie Carrie, which, when I saw it as a kid, made a complete ninety-degree turn mid-way through and completely threw me for a loop. I just haven't yet found an effective way to end the lives of four very unique characters onstage without completely enraging the audience. It has to terrify and shock but not repulse.
HOOK: You said you have enjoyed most meeting people who are familiar with your work one-on-one. Is this what you found most enjoyable about your career?
MS: I'm much better with people one-on-one than performing in front of a crowd. The days when I used to perform on stage are long over. But I think the thing I found most enjoyable about the Bad Boys Pool Party was the fact that everyone was turning out for a good cause.
HOOK: How about meeting other performers, including those with whom you have not yet worked?
MS: Well, it's always interesting meeting fellow performers because they're almost always different from their prescribed image. I'll give you an example: I just finished a 5-day personal appearance stint down in New Orleans at the Bourbon Street Pub. Chris Steele was among the headliners and I found him to be warm, bright and completely down-to-earth – not at all like his Cops Gone Bad image. But then I always get that, too: "You're such a nice guy!" Like what do you expect me to do? Throw you down on an exam table and fuck you the shit out of you?
HOOK: What – if anything – did Matt Sizemore really enjoy about the year 2001?
MS: I've enjoyed it all. By far, the people I've met doing gay porn are a great bunch, and don't even compare to some of the surgeons I met in healthcare or some of the neo-Nazi production assistants I've had to stomach when I was slaving away in the mainstream end.
HOOK: You said you hoped to be a 'buyer' and not a 'seller' in a few years. What are your plans for Matt Sizemore and for yourself personally?
MS: My plan is to start making a living with my mind and to give my poor dick a rest! I have no qualms about being a buyer someday because that will hopefully mean I'll have invested wisely like many of my clients. My real gift, or reason for being born on this planet, is to write. And as of yet, I haven't truly mined that purpose for all its worth.

"Business has been very strong, but for all the wrong reasons," said aircraft purchase broker Drew Callen, president of Boston JetSearch, which is based at Hanscom Field in Bedford, Mass. "There has been a surge of new inquiries for fractional shares and wholly owned business aircraft of all types. Also, many buyers who were on the fence have decided it's time to take action."
It's a story oft repeated around the country. Charter operators, aircraft brokers and fractional providers are hesitant to appear as though they are profiting from disaster, but the fact remains that September 11 has boosted demand for business aviation. At a time when many business travelers have shied away from airlines, business aviation has been there to take up the slack.
The economic news has not all been good, however. The airspace shutdown directly following September's attacks pushed many charter operators and other aviation businesses to the brink of fiscal disaster. Ed Bolen, president of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, told Congress, "Much has been made of economic losses the nation's commercial airlines suffered as a result of the attacks. But general aviation companies have suffered as well. Many of these companies are too small to have significant cash reserves, are not publicly traded and do not have access to capital markets. They have been denied access to airspace for weeks, not days."
National Air Transportation Association president Jim Coyne said, "NATA estimates that its member companies have lost approximately $300 to $400 million and have been forced to furlough thousands of employees since this tragedy." At the same time, the NBAA also supports government relief. NBAA president Jack Olcott said, "Losses at some FBOs have reached $100,000 per month on fuel sales alone, while smaller management companies are facing possible bankruptcy."
BBA Aviation, parent company to Signature Flight Support, furloughed 750 employees, 15 percent of the workforce at its newly acquired Aircraft Service International Group subsidiary. ASIG specializes in airline refueling and the furloughs were attributed to "the current drop in demand for air travel," according to BBA Aviation president and CEO Bruce Van Allen.
The industry lobbying groups are hoping for federal relief as part of the so-called General Aviation Small Business Relief Act of 2001 (H.R. 3007) currently being presented to the House of Representatives. Under the bill, general aviation businesses would receive funds from the government for losses sustained as a result of the airspace shutdown.
At the same time, conversely, demand for services among surviving companies appears to be soaring. For example, charter broker and management company FlightTime of Waltham, Mass., is fielding significant increased interest in its corporate shuttle program. Company chairman Jane McBride said, "Executives at companies around the country have called us in recent weeks to discuss how charter flights can make employees feel more comfortable about flying. They've shown interest in our corporate shuttle program because they want their employees to feel a sense of community while on board the aircraft."
Air Charter Guide, publisher of print and online directories of some 20,000 charter providers worldwide, sampled its constituency to find that 80 percent of the 74 respondents reported increases in business-related bookings. Among those, the average increase was 40 percent. All respondents reported increases in inquiries and requests for quotes. Nearly half the respondents said they had flown at least one trip in the previous 10 days for a customer who had never used charter before. Fred Gevalt, president of Air Charter Guide, said, "Interest is up for all operators and brokers, and for many of those that interest is converting to increased business."
To help allay fears about the security of traveling on charter flights, Skyjet, a subsidiary of Bombardier Aerospace, instituted new security procedures for all charter flights. The company now requires customers to provide a complete passenger manifest at the time of the reservation confirmation. Passengers must present photo identification to the flight crew before boarding.
Skyjet CEO Trevor Cornwell said, "Business aviation traditionally has focused on providing privacy for customers, but the charter industry is now quickly responding to a changed environment and greater emphasis on tight security." He added that Skyjet and many other charter providers have new security procedures, including parking lot restrictions, new passenger drop-off and pick-up procedures (no more cars on the ramp), flight crew identification and luggage inspections.
All the major fractional providers report increases in inquiries, if not outright sales of shares. Flight Options president and CEO Kenn Ricci said interest levels had tripled since September 11. The groundings directly after the attacks had a minimal effect on the company's financial status, he said, since the hourly operating fees are not as critical to revenue generation as are sales and collection of monthly management fees.
NetJets, Flexjet and Travel Air are all said to be experiencing increased interest since the attacks, though none have released specific information about shares sold. A spokesman for Executive Jet told AIN shortly after the attacks that it would not be in good taste to appear to be profiting from a bad situation. "We're doing well," he said, "but for all the wrong reasons."
Observers agree that much of the influx in interest in business aviation comes as a result of an aversion to flying on airlines. The image of airliners full of passengers crashing into buildings is a powerful fear generator among the flying public. The long-term question for business aviation is how long the surge of interest will last.
While the airlines hope that the horrific memories fade quickly, business aviation service providers must try to gauge how best to influence those who may have turned to their services for the first time. Statistics show that large numbers of business travelers have been exposed to business aviation as a result of the attacks. It remains to be seen how many will stay in the fold.

Recently, Fast Company posted this article:
Can Health Care 2.0 Be as Easy as Craigslist? Craig Thinks So
The subject of the article was Craigslist Founder Craig Newmark who was interviewed about the work he is doing with the Department of Veteran Affairs to better utilize technology for healthcare.
The article notes that Adobe won the VA's first Blue Button Developer Challenge for the creation of an interactive platform for medical records. An image of the Adobe application is included in the article.
One thing I found interesting was to learn about how the VA is going about bringing their technology up to date:
. . . the VA will open source its new health care ecosystem, permitting a community of developers to
co-construct the new database and allow outside institutions to modify
the codebase for their own systems. The vision is a system that permits
real-time communication between patients and doctors and isn't held
hostage by either a painfully slow government entity or a single,
inflexible corporate partner. For developers, this means a whole new
sub-industry of opportunity.
Now, that's forward thinking for a government agency!
|Learn more about the Blue Button Initiative
Check out the following video on the Health 2.0 website. It begins with Peter Levin of the VA, and it provides great background on the Blue Button initiative. It also includes footage of Michael Jackson accepting the award on behalf of Adobe at the Health 2.0 conference. http://health2challenge.org/blog/team-adobe-systems/
I have what I like to call a "hybrid" background. I've always had passions for technology, healthcare, and business. Very early in my career, I served in the US Coast Guard as a Petty Officer Electronics Technician (ET). Later, I went on to earn a degree in Computer Information Systems and then an MBA, while working as a government sales manager at an IT company. For the past ten years, though, I've held progressive sales and marketing roles in the Life Sciences industry which supplies pharmaceuticals, implantable medical devices, and neural analysis software into the healthcare ecosystem. That's where I developed an understanding of the complex relationships that exist between healthcare providers, payers, and patients; and the ultimate goal of improving clinical outcomes while optimizing efficiencies. Now, in my role as Healthcare Solutions Manager at Adobe, I leverage every aspect of my experience to develop strategies for real-world solutions in this rapidly evolving market.
The idea behind the Blue Button is simple. By clicking a little blue button on a website, veterans are now able to download their personal health record from a portal offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The downloaded file, which often contains years' worth of medical data, is presented in the form of a plain ASCII text file. So, a challenge was issued to developers to find ways to enable Blue Button users to meaningfully interact with their health data in a more useful way. Sharing that common goal, respondents to the challenge were diverse; ranging from start-up IT companies and individual developers to Google and Microsoft.
Team Adobe approached the Blue Button Challenge development process from the very beginning with the desired end results in mind. For example, we knew that each veteran would have unique needs for the information contained within these comprehensive records. So the first order of business as we developed the vision was to simplify the user's experience as he extracts the desired data from the health record. Whether categorized by entry type, such as lab results or prescriptions, or streamlined to within a specific time range, the health data needed to be easily manipulated in order quickly produce accurate query results.
The data output format of the Personal Health Record was critical to the solution as well, since users would need to effectively interact with their downloaded records from multiple platforms and device types. Additionally, as downloaded data leaves the confines of a controlled enterprise network, it is important to maintain the integrity and security of the files. Therefore, striking a balance between security and interoperability was a recurring theme throughout the process as well.
Adobe's winning Blue Button Challenge submission provides two powerful options for securely downloading and interacting with personal health data. First is the Blue Button Health Assistant, designed with Adobe Air technology. Adobe AIR offers an exciting new way to engage users with innovative, branded applications, without requiring changes to existing back-end technology or processes. The intuitive Health Assistant proof-of-concept app includes a wealth of features that transform raw data into useful information. For example, the "Tracker" dynamically charts chronic data inputs, such as blood sugar levels, so the user can visually identify trends or spikes.
The other option for interacting with the Blue Button health record is a dynamic pdf document which is automatically generated and populated with extracted health data, incorporating PDF-Healthcare Best Practices. This feature-rich pdf document is viewable online or offline, from any browser on any platform, utilizing the ubiquitous Adobe Reader. Advanced features within Reader, including digital signatures, rights management, and others are activated by the document itself as it is accessed.
It was especially rewarding to participate in this challenge where Adobe technologies demonstrated an immediate impact on a real-world scenario. The process overall helped to validate significant trends that we had previously identified, including the emerging prevalence of Personal Health Records and our ability to satisfy the need for secure and interoperable solutions throughout the healthcare enterprise.
Adobe continues to identify and develop ways to leverage Open Government as more than just a concept, but rather a tool to advance agency missions.
One critical aspect of Engagement is good design. Good design is the "face" of the technology to the customer. Get it right, and you have the opportunity to delight the customer. Neglect design at your peril.
Unfortunately, as Wired Magazine pointed out in the December 2010 issue, good design in healthcare is an exception.
Here's the lead-in paragraph from the Wired Magazine article "Blood Simple":
Lab reports are often beyond our comprehension. But they don't have to be. Better design and more context can clarify the results— and help us understand our options.
Amen to that!
The article is not posted on the Wired website yet. I'd suggest getting to a newstand to check out the December issue yourself.
Here's a spread from the article to get you thinking.
I first met Dr. Kahn at a HIMMS Conference two years ago in Chicago. She's very active in the EMR and PDF Healthcare community and a real champion for using electronic medical records.
Dr. Kahn's website has a number of useful resources to help physicians make better use of EMRs, something the doctor has done in her practice since 2005.
I think what I like best about the audiocasts is how approachable Dr. Kahn makes a subject that might be a bit scary to the less technical among us.
I also appreciate the very frank information that she shares. There is a cost to implementing EMR systems, and you can hear the challenges that a small practice might have. I think— and Dr. Kahn concurs— that eventually government incentives will offset this cost.
I've written here about the frustration I have with paper-based processes in the health industry, so I look forward to hearing more about the use of EMR in Dr. Kahn's practice . . .
. . . and hopefully yours in the future, too.

On July 28, 2010, the Federal Register published the final ruling from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMMS) regarding the Electronic Health Record Incentive Program which begins in 2011.
The final ruling may be found in the document titled "Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Electronic Health Record Incentive Program".
I reviewed the 275 page document (you can download it here) and it isn't easy to follow. My goal was to find out where Adobe Acrobat and other Adobe offerings could be used, at least at a high level.
My first impressions is that from a technical level it is not a well-authored document and difficult to use. Notable problems with the document:
There are, however, a number of tables which make it easier to understand the main requirements. In particular, "Table 2: Stage 1 Meaningful Use Objectives and Associated Measures Sorted by Core and
Menu Set" offers a basic overview which is a good starting point.
I used a bit of Acrobat magic to extract Table 2 from the document and added a few checks to areas where I thought Adobe technology could fit in.
You can download the 944K document from the Acrobat.com widget below or directly from this link.
You can click the Continue Reading link below to read more about my thoughts.
If you want to get the maximum Medicaid reimbursement, you must show "meaningful use" of electronic healthcare records.
Due to the complexity of implementing the technology, the CMMS has offered a phased approach to adoption. There are a ''core set'' of objectives and ''menu set'' of objectives. The "core" set must be implemented in order to be compliant. The "menu" set can have percentage achievement.
One vaguely worded Core requirement is to "Engage patients and families in their health care".
In this section (page three of the document I provided), I see an immediate application for PDF:
Provide patients with an electronic copy of their health information (including diagnostic test results, problem list, medication lists, medication allergies), upon request
Instead of walking out of your doctor's office with a bunch of paper, you could instead receive your medical records on a thumbdrive, emailed to you, or made available via the web.
PDF is a perfect format to share medical records for individual practitioners:
Large hospitals will likely try to fulfill these requirements in a more automated process, on the server or in the cloud.
Adobe offers a number of server-based tools in our LiveCycle family of products which can:

Acrobat_9_Healthcare.pdf (620K PDF)
The frustration is fresh on my mind since I ran into the same problem today trying to schedule an appointment for my son today. My son is in school at California State University and I have to fill in forms for him here in Illinois. The receptionist couldn't even fax me the forms since " . . . the pages are dark and they don't fax well."
In this introductory article you'll learn how to:
Using Acrobat 9, you can create a form that is fillable for your patients who are using an earlier version of the free Adobe Reader. Adobe has distributed almost a billion copies of the free Adobe Reader, so it is very unlikely that your patient won't be able to fill out the document.
Architecturally, the form fields "live" in a layer on top of the base document.
The basic steps to create a form are:
To make it easy to try this yourself, I've you can download the "flat" and completed forms below.
Before Form – No fields (14K PDF)
Form with Fillable Fields, Reader Enabled (193K PDF)
|Note: This article is first step for offices who wish to migrate from paper/faxed forms to electronic form. In future articles, I'll try to cover deeper form topics.
Read on to learn how to do it yourself!
Acrobat includes a Wizard that makes the forms authoring process easy. Acrobat can automatically find boxes or underlines which have associated labels.
Here are a couple of examples:
A) Use this choice if you already have a PDF or a Word doc to convert
B) Use this choice if you have a scanner attached to your computer
C) I only recommend this choice for
expert users who want to create a form from scratch
For this article, I will presume you will use option A above.
Switching Modes
To resume editing a form, click the Forms button and choose Add or Edit Fields
Acrobat doesn't always do a perfect job finding form fields.
Acrobat allows you stamp several kinds of fields on top of the form as needed.
Here are the types you will use most often are:
You can add additional fields by clicking the Add New Field button at the top of the window
Acrobat offers several types of form fields. Select the type you want from the list and stamp it on to the document.
Text fields in Acrobat can hold thousands of characters of text. By default, if the text doesn't fit the field, Acrobat makes it smaller until it is eight points high. After that, Acrobat can (optionally) scroll the text in the field.
If you double-click on a Text field, you can change various options for it:
Radio buttons offer a mutually exclusive set of choices to your form. By using a radio button, you can ensure that the patient only chooses one out of an allowable set of options. For example, you can be either married or single, but not both.
O the sample form, Acrobat did not create fields for minor, single, married, at the top of the form. I've marked them with the red lines below.
Adding radio buttons is a bit trickier because Acrobat maintains them as a group.
Here's how to add a set of radio buttons:
A) Fill in the name of the group of buttons
B) Fill in the name of the button that is being clicked
C) Click the Add another button to group and then add the next radio button
HIPAA rules state that doctors and healthcare organizations need to be extremely careful when transmitting patient data.
Fortunately, patients are not covered entities and can choose to convey information to you the way in which they are comfortable, including email.
Here's how to add an email button:
This process is called Reader-enabling the document.
Tip: I recommend adding an underscore and RE to filename. That way, you can look at the filename and know if it has been Reader-enabled.
e.g. patient_form_RE.pdf
The Reader-enabled form may be emailed to patients or posted on your website. The email button is "wired" to always send the form back to you.
The licensing agreement for Acrobat limits the number of times each individual form may be returned to you to 500 responses.
Note that this is a licensing limitation. Acrobat doesn't actually count responses.
Five-hundred responses should be plenty to cover the needs of smaller practices. Since this is a per form limit, you could change the form which would allow for a reset of the limitation.]]>

w/ U-17 MNT defender Julian Valentin
Off-the-wall Questions and Answers, Queries and Anecdotes from U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team defender Julian Valentin.
The biggest star to come out of the recent FIFA Under-17 World Championship? No, not some 14-year-old American phenom named Freddy Adu. And no, not Brazil's Leonardo. The one player to splash onto the scene was U.S. defender Julian Valentin, who found his calling in an opportunity to document the team's trials, tribulations and travels from the tournament in Finland for ussoccer.com. Now known as simply "Jules" to his devoted online fans, the 16-year-old native and natural-born writer from Lancaster, Pa., now gets the table turned on him in a lively edition of Queries & Anecdotes.
Center Circle: Have you always had a knack for putting thoughts on paper (a.k.a. "writing")?
Julian Valentin: "Yes, I have always written – everything from poems to my thoughts (both profound and satirical)."
CC: Did doing the "Jules' Journal" reports make you realize how hard the Press Officer's job is, or was it a breeze?
JV: "Trying not to offend the Press Officer guild, they really don't have much to do on trips, expect on game days when it gets extremely hectic. But other than that, it's a nice vacation. Maybe there's more on the inside that I don't know about." [Editor's note: If by vacation, he means trying to teach teenagers how to stop saying "Ummm…" and "…like…" in their interviews, then yes, guilty as charged.]
CC: How long would it take you to write a 10-page paper about your experience living at the IMG academy?
JV: "I don't know, not too long. Maybe a day or two because that would be easy to write about. If you want me to write that later in the year, I will." [Editor's Note: Of course, we'll be taking him up on this at a later date. Sucker…]
CC: We heard through the grapevine that you're writing a book. Care to provide a teaser about the plot to your growing legion of fans?
JV: "I am writing a book. It's about a man named Mr. Fitzgerald. He is a grizzly, old man who is misunderstood by society. I flash back to various times in his life to show the reader that he is not the terrible man he appears to be. There are certain points in his past (shown in the flashbacks) that come back to play a huge role later on in his life as an old man. There is also a great adventure, in real time, concerning the paperboy Tyler, who has a good relationship with Mr. Fitzgerald. The plot is complex, deep, well thought out, and funny as well. That's without giving away too much."
CC: What is there to do growing up in rural Pennsylvana other than play soccer?
JV: "Growing up, and still today, I am a very active person, playing every sport. I was always in organized sports, but in my free time I would play with action figures and build/maintain various clubhouses that my friends and I had."
CC: How about the thriving metropolis of Bradenton, Fla.?
JV: "(Laughs) I spend tons of my free time with my band-mate Marcus Rein, writing and practicing songs. I also like to watch DVDs. But the thing that I spend most of my time doing is running up my cell phone bill by keeping in touch back home."
CC: When you guys had the run of the Manchester United grounds, you bought a toothbrush and toothpaste at the fan store. Have you used either yet or are they still in the packaging?
JV: "I have not and I plan to keep them as a memento, but Corey Ashe and I do use his Man-U shaving cream for shaving his head!"
CC:Have you had the foresight to get Freddy Adu's autograph before he gets even bigger notoriety?
JV: "Of course I have! As much as Freddy is just my little buddy, I'm not stupid and I make sure that I have plenty of autographs and pictures with him."
CC: Tell us one thing that we probably don't know about (U-17 MNT head coach) John Ellinger.
JV: "I've got to be very careful with this one to ensure my future as a soccer player in this country, but coach Ellinger absolutely loves to watch movies. I would just like to see his DVD collection some time. I bet it's better than Blockbuster!"
CC: How long do you think it will be before you're able to grow the Hulk Hogan handlebar mustache that you name-dropped in one of your journal entries? Couple months? Couple years?
JV: "Sadly, I think that it's going to be a while. The only hair that I ever get is a little dirt here and there – probably a couple of years."
CC: Who's the biggest celebrity you've met at this stage in your young career?
JV: "Michael Johnson. I used to run the 400 meters in track and meeting Mr. Johnson was a great experience."
CC: What's your favorite line from "Old School?"
JV: "My true favorite line might be a bit inappropriate, but if I really had to choose another one it would be: 'Guys can't tell on other guys. That's something chicks do. Well, good talk – I'll see you out there.'"
CC:You're kind of a wiry guy. How much do you bench press?
JV: "Me, wiry? No way. Though I've never tried, I could probably max out near 200 pounds, but I do less than that for reps (140-175)."
CC: Have you ever thought about what the first Double Negative album will be called?
JV: "We have not thought about a name yet. I have about 15 original songs written and right now we're just trying to record them. I'll make sure to send a copy of the album to U.S. Soccer in Chicago."
CC: And finally, we can't help but to ask this: Isn't Jules kind of a girl's nickname?
JV: "Well, I guess you might say that. As long as the spelling doesn't change to 'Jewels' I think that my manhood will be okay."

The power struggle in the ruling party is not unique to the ANC or to SA. It is actually fiercer in the DA. In his autobiography On the Contrary, Tony Leon dismissed Allister Sparks's political predictions as pathetic. But Helen Zille once told me in 2009 to watch Sparks's elections predictions as evidence that the DA 's performance will improve. The Lindiwe Mazibuko-Athol Trollip contest for parliamentary leadership was a classic succession tug of war between Zille and the Trollip faction.
Internationally, succession battles can be ruthless, bitter and destructive.
The power struggle between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and former prime minister Dominique de Villepin – who were members of the UMP party and served in the same government – was so ferocious that De Villepin accused Sarkozy of using state institutions to charge him of corruption. Wait a minute… didn't we hear such an accusation from President Jacob Zuma?
Succession was not handled any better across the English Channel. Former British prime minister Tony Blair, in his autobiography A Journey, referred to his somewhat successor Gordon Brown as "a disaster" who had zero emotional intelligence at the height of the ugliest succession battles in the Labour Party.
Let's not forget the bitter rivalry between Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni for the soul and direction of the Kadima party in Israel. This led to Olmert quitting as prime minister. Interestingly, he resigned the same day as Thabo Mbeki – September 21, 2008.
The missives, accusations and pettiness associated with US primaries are a perfect script for a nasty succession soap opera. Actually, the ANC's succession battles are (publicly at least) less hostile – until Julius Malema did the unthinkable last week at Wits and attacked a sitting ruling party president directly and openly.
However, the striking difference between the ANC's succession wars and that of parties in developed democracies is that, in the latter, governance and public service are so professionalised that they are minimally disturbed by the partisan power struggle.
Our succession, on the other hand, takes the Russian cloak and dagger format, sucking in the security institutions. By the way, Zuma and Russian president-cum-prime-minister-turned-president Vladimir Putin were once superspies. Perhaps this is why state security institutions are the first casualty of succession. It is always unnerving when military men, spies and police are sucked into political and power battles. It is equally disturbing when the judiciary is affected by the succession chaos, shaking our democratic pillars.
Worryingly, the ANC's succession destabilises the government as the executive, the legislature and, to some degree, the public service change after every party provincial and national conference. Politicians and public servants belonging to wrong factions get shuffled out, and along come the weak and (at times) the corrupt lot from the powerful faction. As I wrote last week, policy formulation is affected by discontinuity. The public service machinery grounds to a halt as new politicians are obsessed with the colour of their new high-performance cars, the size of the new state houses, while enjoying good wines and caviar at six-star hotels (with compliments from the taxpayers). The carnival could take months, followed by unnecessary international travels and endless parties.
Soon after the transition period, the clean-up follows as the new factions review and reverse their predecessors' contracts in favour of the new tenderpreneurs. Third, the good public servants get gatvol, quit government and vow never to return, leaving the public service and the executive to be run by not-so-smart bureaucrats. Even though I believe the DA's succession and internal politics are uglier because the party lacks a historical umbilical cord to hold together a diverse bunch from ideological extremes, the party has managed to portray a public image of a functional institution, and not a house asunder. This talks of the party leaders' emotional intelligence and outward looking, nudging feuding parties to focus on the electoral ball, and not petty disputes.
On the other hand, there are very influential leaders who lack emotional intelligence at Luthuli House, and are not smart enough to understand the impact of their action on the party's longevity and image. They don't mind destroying their opponents at all costs.
How else do you explain Malema's tantrum at Wits last week, openly insulting the party leader – the face of his party and the man who was elected by the majority of delegates in Polokwane. Sure, you can argue that the DA has its own Masizole Mnqasela, who accused Zille for running the DA like a spaza shop.
But how do you explain Mathews Phosa, the treasurer-general, appearing on the same hostile stage as Malema at what is supposed to be the celebration of the party's centenary?
At least Kgalema Motlanthe used some obfuscation and sophistry to hide the party's dirty linen, leaving it to the so-called observers to decode his meaning when he rebuked youth league members for wearing T-shirt declaring his candidacy for the party presidency.
Is Phosa not aware of the damage to the ANC brand? The very same people – bar Malema if expelled – will be begging voters to trust their party to govern for a fifth term in 2014.
At least Zuma has shown some maturity and emotional intelligence (this must not be confused with Prince Mashele's intellectual threshold bar) on this one. Despite his ruthlessness and calculating character, he has so far appeared to have transcended – publicly, at least – the Malema provocation (except a slip at The New Age breakfast).
However, he has left the fight in the hands of people who are equally pathetic in damage control. Gwede Mantashe and his communications team – Jackson Mthembu et al – are hopeless in crisis management.
Actually, they have fuelled the succession conflagrations by taking a factional stance instead of protecting the party's image. They may argue that they are politicians after all, and not bureaucrats. Mantashe is unfortunately fighting for his political survival, hence his inability to remain neutral and focused. But as chief administrative officer, Mantashe should try to maintain party cohesion and instruct Mthembu to stay out of the dogfight.
He must remember that the ANC constitution states that the secretary-general shall "in the absence of the president and the deputy president, the secretary-general shall assume the functions of the president". Motlanthe played the game spectacularly towards the Polokwane conference, pretending to stay out of the shenanigans while eyeing the second top job.

At the recent Agneepath press meet, Hrithik looked at ease and joked a lot with the media persons gathered there. Hrithik clarified that there was no kissing scene in Agneepath. However, when a journalist tried probing further, Hrithik wittingly replied, "If you think any of those scenes are kissing scene, you dont know how to kiss! Come on stage, and Ill teach you how its done!"The journalist was obviously very embarrassed. Hrithik Roshan then joked and said he would be glad to give kissing tips to all those interested.

Charlie Chaplin Inspired Menswear At John Galliano
At the John Galliano menswear show in Paris, male models walked in fashions inspired by Charlie Chaplin. The drop crotch pants that come out at the beginning look especially perfect for the man with the extra long package — or interested in resurrecting the MC Hammer effect. But will men be wearing white face, top hats, and fake mustaches come this fall? In fashion, anything is possible. Has anyone else noticed the long blond-haired male model walking in a lot of the shows? In this one, he trots about in what amounts to a Speedo. He looks like a girl, and I sort of love it. FYI, the half-naked numbers revealing six-pack abs start around the 2:30 mark. [GQ]

What a great time trial at the Dauphiné! The world champion Tony Martin overcame sickness right on time to deliver one of his best performances against the clock ever. The German preceded the unexpected neo pro Rohan Dennis who pursued the dream of young Australians to conquer the world. One year after Luke Durbridge won the prologue of the Dauphiné in Grenoble, Dennis amazed everyone by beating Chris Froome for second place. Therefore, the 23 year old from Adelaide jumped into the yellow-blue jersey ahead of the mountain stages for which Froome appears to being the hot favorite after he outclassed Alberto Contador who rode the 32.5km course 2.45 slower than the Brit.
Jan Barta first man above 50km/h
Early leaders Alexander Wetterhall (TNE) and Jack Bauer (GRS) gave some indications that it would be a fast race. Czech champion Jan Barta (TNE) was the first man to ride over 50km/h but his time was bettered by up and coming Spaniard Jonathan Castroviejo (MOV) who remained in the lead for fifteen minutes.
Tony Martin sets a very high performance
The first leader of last year's Vuelta a Espana knew that the world champion was coming soon after him. Martin (OPQ) had been reported to being sick in the past two days but he felt much better and rode at 54.6km/h in the first 11.5km of the course, ie where the road was the most favorable for a high speed. At the end, his time of 36.54 produced an average speed of 52.84km/h, which was higher than expected by the experts.
Rohan Dennis steps in
Once it appeared that Froome was riding well – and much better than his arch-rival Alberto Contador – but without any chance to challenge Martin for the stage win, a duel for the white jersey became interesting with Michal Kwiatkowski (OPQ) being faster than Dennis by seven seconds after 11.5km. But it was a very different story at the end with an advantage of 26 seconds for Dennis. The big surprise came from the Australian taking the yellow-blue in addition to the white jersey as he clocked the second fastest of all the times, five seconds better than Froome. David Veilleux' odyssey ended with his 76th position at the Parc des Oiseaux.

There were nine girls who hung together at Bureau Valley High School, spending time together doing what teenage girls do best — Shannon and Valerie Reuter, Janelle Norden, Lacey DeVenney, Sam Haney, Kalie Rumbold, Julia Edlefson, Bailey Russell and Cora Peters.
As we all know, we lost one of the nine recently, Cora Peters, who passed away much too soon Dec. 30. She was just 18.
Her eight best friends are teaming up to put together the inaugural Pack the Place Purple Night at the Storm Cellar when the Bureau Valley boys basketball team hosts Fulton.
Both teams will be wearing the Cora's Crew shirt during warmups and a tad bit of purple during the game.
The BV dance team is dedicating a dance to Cora to the song Timber, which was her favorite song this winter.
There will be a 50/50 raffle, a silent auction, the Cora's Crew bracelets will be available, and, as always, donations are welcome.
"Cora didn't want her story to end, so we are making sure that it continues on for everyone to be inspired by," Russell said. "We really want to get the game out there in hopes that it is successful, and people will be waiting impatiently for the second annual Pack the Place Purple!
I have got to know some of these young ladies through basketball and helping to share Cora's story. I commend them all for their love and devotion to their dear friend, Cora. Girls, I can tell you for sure, knowing Cora's heart and faith, she will be smiling down from heaven, and no doubt, dancing along with you Friday.
Be sure to get out Friday and support a good cause.

The hip hop singer accuses the female rapper of using an 'unauthorized recording' of his music to dupe his fans into thinking they had recorded a duet.
Hip hop sensation Drake has hit out at singer/rapper Olivia for "duping" his fans into thinking they had recorded a duet, accusing her of using an "unauthorized recording" of his music. Drake was reported to have hit the studio with Olivia to help boost her chart comeback after a song entitled "Control" leaked online.
The tune featured vocals from Lil Wayne's protege - but Drake insists he never agreed to the collaboration and has never worked with 50 Cent's former charge. He tells AllHipHop.com, "I support artist collaborations and sampling music that inspires you but I don't support taking unauthorized recordings and marketing them as features."
"I've never worked with Olivia and I apologize to any fan who was duped into thinking that 'Control' was a collaboration of mine."
Olivia, best known for her 50 Cent duet "Candy Shop", has been out of the spotlight since she was dropped from the "In da Club" hitmaker's G-Unit Records in 2007. She recently landed a new record deal with Universal and is working on an upcoming TV show.
