An easy to make, versatile veggie burger, this recipe case easily be adapted to use a different kind of bean if Adzuki beans are hard to come by. We love this recipe because it contains barley, a nutritional powerhouse. Barley doesn't get enough credit, in our opinion, in the culinary world. I guess it's probably due to the fact that almost all barley on menus is pearled barley. Unlike pearled barley, whole barley is packed with fiber and nutrition. While oats are known for being a good source of fiber, whole barley actually contains more fiber. Oats contain 5 grams of dietary fiber per 1/2 cup, while barley contains a whopping 16 grams per 1/2 cup. Barley has a great, nutty flavor that makes these burgers really shine.
Not a big fan of frying? Do what I do at home and form these into patties on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes a side. It takes longer, but it's a bit healthier. Bonus! Once these burgers have been cooked, freeze the leftovers they'll hold their own quite well on a grill.
Bean and Barley Burgers
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 cups cooked Adzuki Beans
- 1/2 cup Wheat Germ
- 1 Tb. Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Sage
- 1/2 tsp Celery Seed, ground
- 2 cups cooked Whole Hull-Less Barley
Cook beans and barley as directed until soft, then mash beans and barley together. Fry onion and garlic in oil until golden. Add to bean/barley mixture along with spices and wheat germ and stir to combine. Form into 4" patties and fry on medium heat until brown on both sides. Makes about 8 burgers.

text: First, thanks to everyone for their help here. Went for the bulk of the advice, except I went for Super130 wool instead of Mohair. This is a fully canvased suit, 2x vent, 2x button. Took it over the course of 2 fittings, over 3 weeks. Did it together with the double-cuff, light blue shirt, made of two-ply cotton. Total cost was about US$670. This is my first ever bespoke, even tailor made, suit. I am generally happy with it, although I'm aware that it may require some alterations. This is another shirt made about 4 months ago. At a different tailor. Also double-cuffed and made of two-ply cotton. Cost me about US$90. Comments welcome and appreciated!

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
Ernest Atkinson Hornel, of Scottish descent, was born in Victoria, Australia, in 1864. He moved back to Scotland with his father in 1866.
Hornel is primarily classified as a landscape painter of the Glasgow school, although he often included figures in his landscapes. The Glasgow School was a loose association of Scottish artists who rejected the conservatism of the Royal Academy and advocated plein-air painting instead.
Hornels early work had a strong Belgian influence but later he moved to a more decorative style, partly as a result of his travels to Japan with the artist George Henry, also of the Glasgow school. The series of pictures which he produced during this period is regarded as representing the essence of the Glasgow School.
Hornels work is included in collections in Bradford, Glasgow, Leeds and Liverpool. He died in 1933.

Painting the Black
Broken Romero
A good result is borne from confidence; or is it the inverse? I never can remember. The closest thing baseball has to a chicken-or-egg debate deals with confidence. Typically, confidence evaluations rest on two variables: how the player plays and how the player acts. In reality, one variable is king. A player can be mercurial, like Brett Lawrie, or stolid, like Mike Trout, and still register as confident. Provided their play is acceptable. Once a player slips into poor play, the confident label tends too as well. This is the spot where Ricky Romero finds himself.
The Blue Jays made Romero the first pitcher taken in the 2005 draft. Despite being a sixth-overall pick, scouts felt Romero's ceiling was as a no. 3 starter. It was about stuff, not confidence. Romero had a three-pitch mix with the ability to command each, but his fastball was closer to average than plus. He reached Double-A in his second professional season. Those no. 3 starter projections looked optimistic during Romero's days in Double-A. He spent parts of three seasons at the level before leaving for Triple-A with a career 4.90 ERA and 1.48 strikeout-to-walk ratio. That was in 2008.
After the season, David Laurila asked Dick Scott, then the Blue Jays director of player development, what had changed about Romero. Scott said, "I just think that he just got a lot more confidence. Before, I don't think he had the confidence; he put a lot of pressure on himself as a no. 1 pick." He continued, "This year he really realized that it was time to just go and pitch the best he can, and our coaches did a great job with him. It has taken time, plus, I think we rushed him, like we do with a lot of guys. He just didn't respond."
Eleven months later, Laurila asked Romero a question about a coach's impact on his performance. Romero's response ran 189 words, eight of which were variations of confidence, belief, and positive. It reads as if Scott gave Romero a page of buzzwords and bet him $50 he couldn't use those words once per sentence; like a lesser version of Bennett Cerf's bet with Theodor Geisel. The Jays' plan to make Romero more confident seemed to work. He pitched well upon reaching the majors and hasn't returned to the farm since. Yet.
On Tuesday night, Romero made his 119th big-league start. He faced the Tigers and walked eight batters, struck out none, and flashed body language like this throughout:
Romero's deflated mannerisms are visible to anyone paying attention. Including his teammates, who are on the record as having noticed:
Tellingly, after the Kansas City Royals whacked Romero for eight runs on July 2, close friend [J.P. Arencibia] told sportsnet.ca that, "I just don't see the fire, the Ricky that goes out there and wants to just, not literally, kill everybody that goes in the box."
To Arencibia's credit, he has told Romero similar things this season.
"You start questioning little things here and there, so I got back on my own side and said, 'You're here for a reason, just show it out there.' J.P. (Arencibia) said it before the game after we got done warming up, 'I want to see the guy that walks around with that confidence and that swag, I don't want to see if you walk someone that you're pushing the panic button a little bit.' That's what I went out and did, here it is, hit it, and whatever happens, happens."
What happened to Romero's swagger? It's a good question. Back in spring training, Romero had confidence. In fact, he appeared overconfident. Romero had reason to feel good. In 2011, Romero set a career-high in innings pitched en route to making his first All-Star team and finishing in the top-10 in American League Cy Young award voting. Romero would talk up his team, not himself on that spring day. He called the Jays an arrogant bunch, explaining how they no longer want to win—rather, they expect to win. Even back then the Jays seemingly had rotation questions to answer. Still, one could imagine the Jays, with a strong lineup and bullpen, overcoming their issues and coalescing behind Romero and his bold words.
It never happened, of course. Romero has yet to make a start this season without walking a batter. He's walked five-plus batters twice as many times (six) as he's walked one batter (three); and it's been two months since the last time he walked just one. Romero has allowed 15 runs in four August starts. Last August, he allowed 10 runs in six starts. And the lopsided statistical comparisons go on, and on, and on.
Watch Romero's walks on Tuesday night and some things become evident. Of the 32 pitches that went for balls, 25 were fastballs. Five of those fastballs either bounced or came close to bouncing. Romero missed with his changeup and curveball, too. There were instances where a strike was seemingly the correct call, but Romero did not receive the benefit of the doubt because he missed his target by a plate width. When dealing with a pitcher with poor command and poor control, hoping for an injury is morbid. but at least it would explain the issues. Romero insists that he is healthy.
Ricky Romero's Balls on Walks, from 8/21
Examining a player at his extremes has benefits. So long as you inspect these streaks knowing your perspective is skewed due to selective sampling. You can see what his hottest and coldest stretches look like. You can try grasp the differences between the two, and what causes them. There are exceptions, however. When a player straddles too closely to an extreme, than examining that extreme will paint a fairly accurate portrait of the player involved.
In this case, watching Romero's Tuesday start will give you an idea of his season-long problems. Sure, he doesn't usually walk eight and fan none. But his control issues have persisted, as has the tendency to have one bad inning. If you walked away from Romero's most recent game with the belief that he could not throw his fastball or changeup for strikes, then you would be right. These revelations turn up on his stat sheet as well; or, rather, his Brooks Baseball player card:
Ricky Romero's Ball Percentage by Pitch, 2010-12
With the exception of a show-me cutter, Romero is throwing his main pitches for balls more often this season. His ability to throw strikes with his two-seamer and changeup have noticeably declined. For all the buzz about Romero's fleeting confidence, perhaps the issue is his mechanics. If he's unable to repeat his release point, that would help to explain why his changeup sails while his fastball swims to the plate. Perhaps the real reasoning is a combination of confidence and mechanical consistency. Romero is having to think about his mechanics on the mound; a proverbial kiss of death for big-league pitchers, who already have enough drama to deal with.
The days of a confident Romero might be behind us. Should Romero recapture success, however, watch as his confidence—or, at least, our opinion of his confidence—blooms again.

So, what is a CU? CUrveball, CUtter, or Change-Up?

Thanks for this - watching his train wreck of a season for the past 4.5 months, I have been dying for some true analysis of his problems. While inconclusive, this is much better than some of the pseudo-psychology I have read/heard thus far.

Interim skipper Jewett stays in touch with McClendon
SEATTLE -- Acting manager Trent Jewett and Mariners skipper Lloyd McClendon have spoken on the phone a few times since McClendon left the club to attend his daughter Schenell's wedding in Chesterton, Ind.
The ceremony was Saturday. McClendon is expected back for Sunday's series finale.
Jewett is in his first year as the Mariners' bench coach after spending 2011-13 with the Nationals.
McClendon is still in manager mode -- even when he's away from the team.
"I think one of his traits as a manager is everybody else around you is more important than you are," Jewett said. "I think that's probably the mode he is in today. Take care of everybody else and make sure the nest is tidy and get back where he belongs."

I actually found the recipe for Green Bean, Tomato, and Feta Salad Oreganato in a Woman's World Magazine when I sat waiting for an appointment, and I got the receptionist to photocopy the page for me! I added the the Feta, which I thought was a perfect flavor with this salad, but what really makes this is the tangy dressing that has both red wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice. If you have garden beans or good fresh beans from the store, please make this salad!
Slice a few green onions in diagonal slices.
When beans are barely tender crisp drain well, rinse with cold water, then drain again.
Then stir in the crumbled feta and stir just to combine.
Green Bean, Tomato, and Feta Salad Oreganato
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe adapted from Woman's World Magazine which doesn't seem to have recipes online.)
Dressing Ingredients:
3 T olive oil
2 T red wine vinegar
1 tsp. lemon zest (zest the lemon first and then squeeze the juice)
1 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice
3/4 tsp. salt (I used sea salt)
1/2 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
12 oz. fresh green beans, ends trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 lb. cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half
2 green onions, cut on the diagonal into thin slices
1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
Combine beans, tomatoes, and green onions in a salad bowl, then toss with the tangy dressing, stirring until the vegetables are well-coated with dressing. Add crumbled Feta and stir just to combine. Serve immediately.
I didn't think this would keep well in the refrigerator because chilling tomatoes takes away their flavor, but it was actually still very good after a night in the fridge. I wouldn't purposely make it ahead, but if you have leftovers, go ahead and save them and you might be surprised.

Northwest Philly residents ease into holiday spirit with wreath making, trail tours and chestnuts roasting on the fire
In the middle of the Wissahickon woods, chestnuts roasted on an open fire while 50 local residents created their own personalized wreaths and explored the local trails. It was all part of the Friends of the Wissahickon's annual "Winter in the Wissahickon" event.
The festivities, which were held both in and outside of Valley Green Inn, included a trail hike, a luncheon and a wreath-making workshop. The authentic holiday wreaths were made with local and fresh evergreens, holly and pine cones.
FOW trail ambassador Mary Hathaway says the event is a favorite for many families in the area.
"It's a great way to meet new people who support the park," said Hathaway. "Many people return every year."
Cathy Fasy of Chestnut Hill invited her nieces, Maureen McElroy of Holland, Pa. and Kathleen Hennessy of Ardmore, Pa. to share in the holiday cheer.
"It's a spirit-filled event," said Fasy, "We take nature's beauty and make these wonderful holiday wreaths, we really enjoy it."
McElroy says she was happy to attend for the second time.
"Last year my aunt had suggested that I come here for my birthday," said McElroy, "and now I'm back again. We have a good time making new friends and the wreaths are beautiful."
Hennessy, a physics professor at Saint Joseph's University, has plans to hang her wreath in her office.
"This is a girls day for us, we have a great time," said Hennessy.
Maura McCarthy, executive director of the FOW, says the event offered something for everyone in the family.
"Kids can make bird seed and peanut butter 'nature gifts' for park animals," said McCarthy.
Cathryn Wessner of King of Prussia, Pa. says she attended the event to support the park, where her husband mountain bikes and where the two were married.
"I love coming here, it's a special place for my husband and I," said Wessner. "It's a nice way to get you into the holiday spirit."
FOW trail ambassador Frank Tuplin says the event, which began in 2003, has become a tradition for many park-goers.
"It's a good send-off for the Christmas season," said Tuplin.

About the authorElizabeth Taylor (1912–1975) was born into a middleclass family in Berkshire, England. She held a variety of positions, including librarian and governess, before marrying a businessman in 1936. Nine years later, her first novel, At Mrs. Lippincote's, appeared. She would go on to publish eleven more novels, including A Game of Hide and Seek (available as an NYRB Classic), four collections of short stories (many of which originally appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, and other magazines), and a children's book, Mossy Trotter, while living with her husband and two children in Buckinghamshire. Long championed by Ivy Compton-Burnett, Barbara Pym, Robert Liddell, Kingsley Amis, and Elizabeth Jane Howard, Taylor's novels and stories have been the basis for a number of films, including Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont (2005), starring Joan Plowright, and François Ozon's Angel (2007). In 2013 NYRB Classics will publish a new selection of Taylor's short stories.
Hilary Mantel is an English novelist, short-story writer, and critic. Her novel Wolf Hall won the Man Booker Prize in 2009.
Perhaps every novelist harbors a monster at heart, an irrepressible and utterly irresponsible fantasist, not to mention a born and ingenious liar, without which all her art would go for naught. Angel, at any rate, is the story of such a monster. Angelica Deverell lives above her diligent, drab mother's grocery shop in a dreary turn-of-the-century English neighborhood, but spends her days dreaming of handsome Paradise House, where her aunt is enthroned as a maid. But in Angel's imagination, she is the mistress of the house, a realm of lavish opulence, of evening gowns and peacocks. Then she begins to write popular novels, and this fantasy becomes her life. And now that she has tasted success, Angel has no intention of letting anyone stand in her way—except, perhaps, herself.

In the press"With its monstrous romantic-novelist heroine Angelica Deverell, it's a study of extravagant self-deception that's both achingly funny and heart-wrenchingly sad." —The Millions
"Always intelligent, often subversive and never dull, Elizabeth Taylor is the thinking person's dangerous housewife. Her sophisticated prose combines elegance, icy wit and freshness in a stimulating cocktail—the perfect toast to the quiet horror of domestic life." —Valerie Martin
"Elizabeth Taylor is finally being recognised as an important British author: an author of great subtlety, great compassion and great depth. As a reader, I have found huge pleasure in returning to Taylor's novels and short stories many times over. As a writer I've returned to her too—in awe of her achievements, and trying to work out how she does it." —Sarah Waters
"Her stories remain with one, indelibly, as though they had been some turning
point in one's own experience." —Elizabeth Bowen
"One of the most underrated novelists of the twentieth century, Elizabeth Taylor writes with a wonderful precision and grace. Her world is totally absorbing." —Antonia Fraser

Friday night football primer: Scouting report for Week 5
Updated 12:52 pm, Friday, October 5, 2012
Express-News Staff Writers Blake Hurtik and Lorne Chan set the stage for what to watch for this weekend:
• All the six-team districts are off this week, but there's still plenty of action.
• No. 4 Madison faces eighth-ranked Roosevelt with two running backs coming off monster weeks. Madison's Marquis Warford rushed for 358 yards and four TDs, while Roosevelt's Frank Barnes had five TDs last week.
• Hays travels to Kerrville Tivy in a matchup between two District 27-4A title contenders.
Harlandale RB Nicholas Martinez vs. Floresville LB John Handowski
Sports Channel
Martinez had his coming-out party last week with 334 yards against Medina Valley — more than twice his season total. His emergence makes the Indians' offense, which averages 45.5 points per game, even more dangerous. QB Brandon Ramon has thrown for 11 TDs in four games.
Floresville will count on Handowski to shut both of them down. First-year coach Jeff Luna said the linebacker is the undisputed leader of the defense, which has posted one shutout this season. A former defensive end, Handowski specializes in stopping the run while also having the speed to help in pass coverage.
The teams meet at 7:30 tonight in Floresville.
Jake Perez, Reagan DB/temporary QB
Perez, a three-year starter in the secondary, was thrown in at quarterback on Sept. 14 against Pflugerville when Reagan's top two QBs were injured. The next week, he completed 15 of 16 passes and rushed for four TDs in a 41-37 victory over Laredo United.
Reagan faces Lee at 7 p.m. Saturday at Comalander Stadium.
How much warning did you get before you were in at QB?
Perez: None at all, actually. It's not like we were planning for two quarterbacks to get hurt in the same game. I knew a couple of plays from when I was QB of the freshman team, but I was just more mad than anything because we were losing pretty big at the time.
How much will playing QB make you a better defender?
Perez: One of the fun things for me has been reading coverages. I thought I was doing a good job disguising what I was doing at DB, but now, I'm not so sure.
Are you ready to be back on defense?
Perez: I love scoring, because who doesn't? Friends are joking at school calling me "QB1," but I'm glad (starter) Kyle Keller is almost back. I wouldn't mind if this was my last game at quarterback.
1,542 Passing yards for Boerne Champion QB Kyle Poeske through four games, an average of 386 yards per game.
2,068 Yards needed to break the area single-season passing record of 3,609, set by Kerrville Tivy's Johnny Manziel in 2010.
After he was held to 67 yards against Alamo Heights last week, Poeske and the Chargers look to rebound on the road at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Kyle Lehman.
Brandeis is at the top of District 27-5A. Who else reaches the playoffs in that wild district?
• Blake Hurtik: Your guess is as good as ours, but I'll say O'Connor is a lock, and Jay and Warren round out the top four.
• Lorne Chan: O'Connor's playoff streak hits 10 seasons and Jay and Warren get in, too, but Holmes and Taft are going to make the playoff race interesting.

Do you think that had Aibileen stayed working for Miss Elizabeth, that Mae Mobley would have grown up to be racist like her mother? Do you think racism is inherent, or taught?

I can't say if Mae Mobley would have grown up to be racist. I recently read My Hollywood, by Mona Simpson and the young children seemed to forget their nannies soon after the nannies left while the one older child retained much of what she learned from her nanny. In any case, both books are fiction so what might have been for any given character is in the hands of the author, not me.
Regardless, I definitely think that racism is taught. It only appears to be inherent because of how much we absorb from our social and familial surroundings and customs.

Children don't hate people unless they are taught to, or they are emulating their parents. Were racism inherent, I think we would all be racists; there would have been no improvement of attitudes, no enlightenment, no positive changes down through the years. Of course racist attitudes are still taught (actively or passively) by some, and we--all people--still have far to go before we are a nation of equals, but if racism were inherent, slavery would never have ended.

I agree with Cindy and Judy that racism is taught to a degree, but I think that humans are also born with an inherent affinity to their own 'tribe', an arguably necessary evolutionary trait that enables us to form family bonds, feel an affinity to our community, experience pride in our nation and so forth. However, the flip side of the ability to feel a connection to a group, is not feeling a connection to other groups, which will tend to express itself in sweeping opinions based on limited, if any, actual knowledge. In short, we pre-judge groups that we don't know. So, I think children are born with a natural tendency to prejudice of all sorts and, however hard we try, we are all prejudiced to some degree.
So the question to my mind is not whether racism is taught but whether it can be exacerbated by teaching? To which I'd answer definitely yes! The flip-side then is that racism can also be lessened through education - not just in school but through life. In fact, here's a radical thought for you - if we as individuals haven't, in the past month, either read something, watched something, visited somewhere, or talked to someone who challenged at least one of our prejudices, are we in danger of becoming entrenched in our opinions? :) Which reminds me of a blog post from a couple of years back about the library movement: http://www.bookbrowse.com/blogs/editor/index.cfm/2008/12/9/Check-out-a-prejudice-from-the-Living-Library

I agree with all previous comments, but particularly Davina's. However, I think the original question is most interesting, particularly after reading the above comments, when it is reflected back to the book. Stockett is clear in her general statement that racism is taught and that the only way out of prejudice is through a type of education about 'the other.' In the novel, this education is brought about through an intense emotional attachment between black and whites. The white women in the novel who are the least racist are the ones who have the healthiest relationships with their black counterparts. For example, Skeeter knows there is something fundamentally wrong about the way whites treat blacks, and she knows this because she loved her black nanny like a mother. She was taught to hate blacks, but her feelings, the intense emotional attachment she had with her black maid, instructs her otherwise.
Our conversation then comes to a point of instinct versus instruction, and whereas evolution may induce us to fear, "The Help" implies that instincts can play a different role in human relationships across color lines. Though Abileen is upset by Mae Mobley's budding racism, I suspect that Mae Mobley will have a fighting chance of ending up like Skeeter, a woman who defies the education of her youth to follow what her heart knows to be true. Abileen is kind to Mae Mobley while her mother is neglectful and selfish. Surely, this will make a greater impact on Mae Mobley's way of thinking about blacks than what she learns at school.
If racism can be taught, it can just as easily be untaught, and I think that this is a critical message of "The Help."

In response to CindyA's comment that slavery has ended - I think it is important to add that while slavery ended in the United States there are 27 million people living as slaves today throughout the world. According to E. Benjamin Skinner's book "A Crime So Monstrous: Face-to-Face with Modern-Day Slavery" (an excellent and horrifying book on the subject) there are more slaves in the world today than at any time in history. It is a global human rights issue that is not given nearly enough attention.

I grew up in the south. While we considered ourselves open-minded and non-racist, I was also told,when I left home for college, that I better not bring a black boyfriend home. I went to a liberal college in Oregon, and considered myself non-racist. When a black classmate expressed an interest in dating me, I was forced to confront my issues. If I had still been living in the south I doubt I would have dated him. It took awhile, but eventually I didn't see his color, just the person he was.
I think racism is learned. It can also be un-learned.

I definitely feel racism is taught. I was a public school teacher and observed how young children accept others of different color, faith or whatever. They do make fun of each other sometime to an extreme. But it is usually because of other factors rather than race. In the area I live in there is more prejdice toward Native Americans as that is the "minority" in this part of the country.
But again, unless someone tells them there is something wrong with that person or tribe they pretty much accept each other.
This is not as true of older children who have been "taught" to discriminate against others because of race.

Racism is fear of someone who is different from our selves. It is not taught, as such, it is the neglect toteach children about other cultures, different skin color, that if one does not speak English they are not necessarily stupid. Tolerance of others is a life long learning process.

What an interesting discussion. I am completely on the side of taught but I honor the fact that it is taught through ommission as well as actively. I grew up in a conservative white community with virtually no non-whites. It was a very sterile community.......one would have had to actively teach tolerance. Racism can be so subtle..........that is what I was raised in.........so today I have to dig a little deeper to find those racist places in me. I think they are not there, but, wait, look deeper. So taught, in so many ways........Helen M

I am reminded of the song "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" in Rodger and Hammerstein's musical "South Pacific." Lt. Cable, from Philadelphia, is in love with a Tonkenese girl and realizes that he cannot marry her and take her home to the family, and he sings about how he and his peers have been raised. I have always believed that racism is taught, but Davina's post has made me think more about the fear of that which is different that all of us have. We need to teach our children not to let that fear affect the way we think about and treat others, whether it is race, religion or disability.
(Don't you love the way good literature makes us think about and discuss important topics?)

Both. I believe that human beings have a natural instinct to be cautious of those unlike them in some way. However, no matter the instruction at home, as the world opens up to you, the more you see and do, depends greatly on how you react to those situations. You will find your own course to be prejudicial or accepting.

I too believe that it is taught. As I read the question, the tune to the song Dorothyt mentioned,("you Have to Be Carefully Taught") popped right into my mind before I even read her response. While we might have some inherent distrust of what we percieve as "different," it is our training and upbringing that causes us to take note of those differences. Young children do not make those kinds of disctinctons on their own.
I grew up in a town where racism did not seem prevelent because there were almost no non-white residents. It didn't enter into our everyday lives. When the civil rights movement in the 1960s began to appear on TV, I really could not understand why anyone felt the need to separate racial groups. I had never seen a "white only" sign.
Stockett does an excellent job of portraying the racial situation, giving people like me a somewhat better understanding of the way things were in other parts of the country.

I think that racism is taught but I think it is taught not only verbally but also by actions. I agree with Beth350 - I grew up in an all white suburb of Detroit and didn't understand the civil rights movement when it first started. Reading books about other parts of the county during that time period, have helped me to better understand. Stockett does an excellent job of explaining that time period in American history to her readers.

I believe it is both. Children can be "victims" of their environment. Such as segregation, parental
behavior, & media contributes to young minds in their formative years.
History has proven that the global environment can make a difference. The Civil War South, Nazi
Germany, French Revolution, and as far back as biblical times.
Young children don't have freedom of choice until they are mature enough to weigh the issues and then,hopefully, make the right decisions for themselves.
I say this with respect for all of our opinions.

Both. My two children went to a Spanish immersion elementary school where there were kids from around the community with a wide range of racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. They had a wide range of friends as a result and were not cognizant that differences were something to be feared.
But as we get old, I think we become adverse to things we don't understand or are different from our way of life---this is true of all people whether they want to admit it or not. Being upfront about this reality, therefore, is the best way then to remind ourselves that we constantly have to fight the inclination to dismiss or criticize people that are different from us, whether those differences are a matter of race, national background, cultural, etc

I don't believe racism is wholly or even partially inborn. Observe very young children who will, unless told otherwise, accept and treat as equal anyone who is kind towards them or, at least, not unkind. I grew up during probably the most racially turbulent and anti-Semitic times of the 20th century in an all-white affluent suburb where the only people of color I saw worked in my and my neighbors' homes. I loved the people who worked in my home as much as I loved the people to whom I am related. I knew only that they had fewer financial resources and less education than I was privileged to have so they had to work, unlike our mothers and female relatives. I also knew that, because they worked and because times were rapidly changing, their own children were to become as privileged as I was. I realize I had unique parents for that time but those classmates with whom I still communicate feel the same, even if many came to the realization later in life.
To children who are not taught otherwise, everyone is different from everyone else in both large and small ways. Why would differences in skin color be a reason to shun people when hair color was not? Half of my extended family members, all of the same Eastern European heritage, were far darker-skinned and -haired than the other very pale sun-averse half; one of my brothers in no way resembles anyone else in my nuclear family. My very red hair was as unmanageable and nappy as the people we then knew as of the Negro race. Consequently, I never saw physical attributes alone as a reason to separate people.
But I also realize that not only are prejudiced people taught, even if very subtly, to fear or debase those who are different, they also must be separated from them physically because familiarity with diversity in all its myriad forms within our communities usually breeds tolerance, acceptance, and, most of all, color blindness. There are no pure races anymore; America (and it is not alone) is surely and quickly becoming the melting pot we were always told it is supposed to be. We can only hope that when the one-dimensional bigots still among us die out, racism will truly be something learned only from history books.

I agree with a lot of what has been said before. I also believe that racism is not inherit in people. It is the fear of what we don't know or understand that makes some people be racist.
Sometimes we gravitate to our own kind of people (tribal). I grew up in Belgium, in a Jewish neighborhood, went to Jewish schools and didn't have any Christian friends. As I was growing up and read books that were culturally different from what I knew, it made me have a much better understanding of the different ethnic groups, their beliefs and values.
Reading this book has made me understand some of the Southern culture which I'm not familiar with.
I enjoy this conversation and hope to learn much more.

Racism is taught. It is a learned behavior and an expectation for many. The author did a good job of demonstrating that in the book, particularly in Skeeters character, I think where that was most evident was in the chapter where Hlly was going to tell Skeeters mom that she (Skeeter) was responsible for the book. Skeeters reaction - the need to "protect" her mom or whatever is a clear demonstration that after racism is taught it is expected that one will "follow the rules".

I too believe it is taught. My father grew up in NC during the 30s and 40s. He is not prejudiced and raised both myself and my brother to not be prejudiced. However, my brother was rebellious and did drugs for many years which landed him in the incarcerated domain. It was during this time that my brother developed his prejudice and has tried to impose it on me. My children were raised in a neighborhood where we were the only white family on the block. Although I raised my children to be nonprejudicial, because of the paths they chose have developed some prejudices.
I believe it is taught but can be undone due to life's circumstances. Although it is ingrained, the mind can become warped because of the paths we choose in life.

I think it is taught either by family or in some cases by negative experiences. I was raised in a home with a black caretaker in Chicago and a s.c. Mother. As an adult I live in a mixed and am comfortable.
The book was well written and allowed me to see a part the south that I did not know.

I think racism largely comes from the natural tendency to distrust those who are "different" from us. But once those differences start getting broken down and people find that beneath the color of the skin, and beyond the religious differences, we all are pretty much the same. We all have families that we love. The black man, the Muslim man, the Jewish man, the Catholic man all cheer for the same football team. The women are all frustrated because they can't get their men glued form the TV set when there is a ballgame on. We aren't so different and the prejudices lessen.

I might have stolen this idea from someone, but it seems like a moderately likely scenario.
This assumes that the Nets get the #1 pick and want John Wall.
Pacers get:
Devin Harris
Nets get:
Pacers 1st round pick (7-10, I'm guessing)
TJ Ford
Nets why: They get the best player in the draft and don't have to worry about him duplicating the best player on their roster. They get cap relief in 2011 which they'll like if they're able to land a 2010 free agent. They also can pick up a scoring wing or an athletic PF (both of which they sorely need).
Pacers why: With Granger and Harris, you can win in 2010 and still have enough expirings (Murphy, Dunleavy, Foster) to trade for another high level player or get significant cap space in the offseason. Harris is light years better than any PG in this draft outside of John Wall. Harris also has a very nice longterm deal for a borderline all-star PG.

The story of this Mexican record in their own words:
Register by all jumpers.
Safety talk, refresh on landing patterns and rules by the Security and training advisor.
No Jumps due to weather hold.
With a new and this time sunny day the participants were feeling much more enthusiastic and ready to establish a new record, so it began…
8:00 am for the first dirt dive
8:30 first record attempt 14,000Ft. Altitude. Unsuccessful jump, 36 way was incomplete.
After reviewing the video the captain decide to make some little changes in order to improve the performance of the jumpers.
Around 11:00 am the jumpers gear up and board the aircraft's.
Second attempt was close but not complete, all jumpers were happy with the performance during this one but a the same time a bit disappointed for not getting the record.
One more time the captains review the video, on the debrief they talk about what was missing and encourage all the participants to do their best.
1:00 pm, gear up, dirt dive, climb to altitude. Third attempt was not complete.
Captains got together review the video and decide to make one more change, they were sure this will be it.
Every single participant was focused and excited at the same time, Gear up, dirt dive, a few last words from the captain, and to the aircrafts.

Zach Hofer-Shall of Forrester Research, Susan Etlinger of Altimeter Group, Nathan Gilliatt of Social Target and Shawn Rogers of Enterprise Management Associates discuss emerging trends in analyzing social data.
Chris Moody introduces the group by touching on the widely-felt skepticism regarding available tools for social media monitoring. Susan opens the discussion by talking about the need for deeper customer insight and innovation opportunities in general. Spinning the wheel dependent upon what a company's needs are, the quality of the solutions varies. Nathan says many people confuse web analytics with social media analytics. You're measuring traffic in both, but the data doesn't always overlap. In this sense, there are silos within social media analysis. Falling into the trap of siloing can kill a business because you err on the side of ending up with irrelevant data. Zach admits that he doesn't know a single company in existence that that can monitor everything in terms of social data. There are new technologies coming out regularly but two problems are presented:
- Each new product has a new end goal.
- A single kind of technology can't serve a company across departments.
Shawn talks about the necessity of sharing data from application platforms. If you want to connect insight to strategic KPIs for a company or build that insight into work processes outside of the sales departments, there is currently a big level of frustration. Susan says this is all a symptom of the problem with social data today: there are two different markets, publishing and measurement, that are confused by both talkers and listeners. The question isn't where data should live within in organization, but rather where it shouldn't. The same post could have countless impacts on a company depending on its inner analyst; the CMO, the lawyer, the customer service head, and so forth. Zach thinks the public relations world has to prioritize crisis management over any kind of data. Susan argues for compassion for professionals in public relations, saying they are often lost in a data world. In many cases, public relations people hold the budget and are the ones that have to problem solve immediately, often while they are not privy to the relevant data.
Theoretically, what if an analyst has all of the time in the world? Observing information over time and switching tools during that process creates a big headache. Flow throughout a predetermined amount of time needs to be understood on a deep level and companies often don't have the bandwidth to measure things so religiously. As if that wasn't enough of a hurdle, engagement means different things to different people. For some brands, the time their customer spends on its website is more valuable than a purchase transaction. For others, the reverse is true.
Nathan points out that it's a tall order for companies to standardize algorithms. Shawn feels the same way and tells us that even when a company manages the difficult task of agreeing on a definition of engagement, it's up to the vendors and suppliers to empower their early adopters to engage. Zach describes two disparate worlds: social media strategists and community managers often don't understand data and data people don't often understand community and social media, yet they are all expected to co-exist in ROI harmony. Susan says a variety of approaches is more politically correct and that marrying a variety of methods can enrich a company across its departments.
The biggest issue we face now is that the analytical steps for reporting are too far apart. Setting up the analysis, measuring the data, communicating it intelligently, and then acting upon the insight in a meaningful way in a short amount of time is incredibly difficult. Simply put, what is determined from the data that becomes actionable and improves the company? The quality of insight is more important than quantity of the data from which it derives. There are two ways to solve problems in 2012: software (the actual tools to measure data) and people (the analysts). To bridge the gap, data tools need to become more intuitive to provide valuable insights and people need to think more critically.

Y'all -
My husband was diagnosed with Stage IV-b ICC about a year ago and is in far better shape than we could have imagined, although he remains in pain from sciatica and possible radiation enteritis caused by 25 rounds of radiation. (We're still not sure it's enteritis. The pain is much lower than the place targeted by the radiation.) His surgery in February (at USC/Norris, performed by the livesaving Drs. Selby and Kulkarni, with ERCP assistance from Dr. Buxbaum) seems to have given him a new chance at life, for which we are profoundly grateful. When his surgery was finished, there was "no visible disease" left in his body. Great news! but that means it was still lurking around somewhere. So in addition to the radiation, he had 8 treatments of Gem/Cis in 2013 as well.
His radiation oncologist, USC/Norris' Dr. Ballas (who cannot have enough good things said about her) put him on a monthlong course of Dexamethasone to help with the intestinal pain. It's helped. But he's itchy and still in some pain, both in the lower bowel area and subscapular. (Oh, and the sciatica makes it difficult for him to walk from the garage to the loft we live in.) His brain is telling him it's the same pain as pre-diagnosis, which is scary. Since he had significant lymph node involvement in the area around the common bile duct, it is possible that there is a recurrence of disease in the mesentery. We'll know more after his next set of scans next week. Meanwhile, he's gained a ton of weight from the steroids (which may be causing the sciatica) and does not have normal bowel function. His last scans were in September, and they were clean. But this itching has me freaked. It doesn't seem to be a listed side effect, and because I know itching happens when the liver is compromised, I'm quite worried. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. thought his engine was a little sour Saturday night during the Sprint Unlimited.
But there was nothing wrong with the engine. It was just the way his car was handling in the draft in the preseason race at Daytona International Speedway.
MORE: Harvick wins | Harvick zings Danica, media | Stewart causes wreck | Learning new car
Earnhardt finished eighth among the 12 cars still running at the end of the race. While he expected more, he didn't seem too upset after the race, knowing that this wasn't his best car for the weekend.
"This is the car we tested and it didn't really run that great when we tested it," Earnhardt said. "I could get a run and charge up into the top-five, but it didn't like the clean air up there. It got real draggy, just real slow up front."
At one point in the second segment of the three-segment, 75-lap event, Earnhardt suddenly fell to the rear. He reported that his car might have had a little engine trouble.
"It was just the draft was easy to lose," Earnhardt said. "With this little spoiler on the back, it's really easy to lose the draft because the air gets to your nose pretty quick, and the distance of the draft isn't as far back as it used to be off the car in front of you.
"So you can lose it pretty easily. You have to be real careful. Me and the No. 99 (of Carl Edwards) both lost it right there at the end of the second segment."
The day wasn't a totally clean one for Earnhardt, who rubbed doors with Tony Stewart during the second segment.
"He said he got tight underneath me," Earnhardt said. "I pulled down real fast to try to go to the middle. I had a good run on that 22 (of Joey Logano) and was trying to get up to the front.
"I felt like it was going to get harder and harder to pass as it went on."
Stewart made sure his spotter told Earnhardt's spotter what had happened, and Stewart described it similarly afterward.
"When Dale Jr. came down to the middle, where he was at made me really tight," Stewart said. "I got up into him and then I got into him and couldn't get off of him, bounced off of him about three times."
All in all, Earnhardt, who has 13 career wins at Daytona, said it was a productive day.
"I had a good run on the No. 16 (of Greg Biffle) … in the second segment," Earnhardt said. "My run was really strong, and I thought it would be enough to clear him, and it wasn't. The car died out pretty quick when I got down to the bottom in the clean air.
"Technically I thought that would be an easy pass. Hopefully, the 500 car has that kind of muscle, and maybe just this car didn't."
Earnhardt appeared satisfied with the style of racing he saw in the Unlimited. He didn't like the style of tandem drafting, and he is glad they can't push too much.
After causing a multicar accident in testing in January, Earnhardt was able to at least get 75 fairly clean laps in Saturday night. He said he is fine with the cars being a little bit of a handful.
"The bumpers aren't perfect," Earnhardt said. "They are imperfect when they line up, and that is going to cause some action and some drama out there.
"That is the way it used to be, and I think everybody is OK with that. The drafting and the way you work the draft, I think everybody is still kind of learning that. I learned a lot tonight, but I still think there is tons to learn."

Northern Virginia Deploys High-Level Regional Hurricane Relief Team
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Sept. 13, 2005
Northern Virginia Deploys High-Level,
Regional Hurricane Relief Team to New Orleans
A 10-person team, representing five Northern Virginia jurisdictions, will deploy today to New Orleans as part of the region's coordinated response to the area ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.
Drawing from all levels of government – including a county executive, police chief, emergency managers and regional fire department leadership – the teams are comprised of senior staff from Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties and the city of Alexandria.
The team, responding to a request from the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), is being led by Prince William County Executive Craig Gerhart. A mobile convoy will depart from the Fairfax County Government Center at approximately 5:30 p.m. and deploy to the New Orleans Emergency Management Center.
The Northern Virginia regional
After Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, the region's chief administrative officers – city and county managers – met during the Labor Day weekend to discuss how Northern Virginia could most effectively respond to a request for assistance.
"We quickly realized that the need in the Gulf Coast region would outstrip any single Northern Virginia jurisdiction's ability to respond," said team leader Gerhart. "Drawing from the region's wealth of expertise, we have assembled a multi-jurisdictional, cross-disciplinary team of highly experienced emergency managers."
"Our strength is our regional cooperation, and we do not take a parochial view when dealing with an emergency," said Barbara A. Favola, chair of the Northern Virginia Regional Commission. "In addition to assisting the victims of Katrina, this unique effort increases our regional ability to respond to a local disaster."
The Northern Virginia team will replace emergency managers from North Carolina, who are returning home to prepare for the potential affects of Tropical Storm Ophelia, which is expected to make landfall in the Tar Heel State.
The team
Staff from the following jurisdictions is being deployed:
City of Alexandria
John Crawford, Police Captain
Arlington County
Ben Barksdale, Deputy Fire Chief
Randy Gray, Fire Battalion Chief
John Mausert Mooney, Division Director, Dept. of Environmental Services
Fairfax County
Bill MacKay, Deputy Coordinator, Office of Emergency Management
Mike Wood, Deputy Fire Chief
Loudoun County
Jack Brown, Assistant Chief, Fire-Rescue
Prince William County
Craig Gerhart, County Executive and team leader
Charlie Deane, Police Chief
Kevin McGee, Assistant Fire Chief
Northern Virginia's regional Incident Support Team was activated on Sept. 4 to begin planning a joint response to the region affected by Katrina, and to respond to requests for assistance. It will remain staffed for as long as the regional team is deployed. The Fairfax County Alternate Emergency Operations Center has served as the hub for planning and coordination, bringing together police, fire, emergency management, public health and other expertise.
Be Ready. Make a Plan
Northern Virginia jurisdictions are also taking this opportunity to remind the public that September is National Preparedness Month. The region is participating in a National Capital Region campaign to raise residents' emergency preparedness – "Be Ready. Make a Plan." To find out more, please visit www.makeaplan.org.
Note To Media: The Northern Virginia Regional team will depart at approximately 5:30 p.m. from the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax.
Northern Virginia is among the most diverse, highly educated and fiscally sound regions in the nation, representing 1.8 million people in 1,300 square miles. The Northern Virginia economy is outpacing the nation and the region is home to a myriad of successful corporations and non-profits organizations. The deployed team represents the five major local jurisdictions in Northern Virginia: City of Alexandria, Arlington County, Fairfax County, Loudoun County and Prince William County.

Qihoo Mobile Game Site Rocks, Baidu Launches Hardware To Combat Qihoo
Qihoo (QIHU) is a stock many brokers like these days. Count Stifel as a fan.
Stifel analysts George Askew, Zim Yin and Steve Rubis think Qihoo's game distribution site, 360 Mobil Assistant, is now China's top Android-based game distribution platform.
The analysts looked at the launch statistics for a new mobile game Plants vs. Zombies II: It's About Time, owned by Electronic Arts (EA). This game was distributed through four Chinese carriers: Tencent (TCTZF), Baidu (BIDU)'s 91 Wireless (China's largest app store), UC Web (private) and Qihoo's 360 Mobile Assistant. Qihoo attracted many more game downloads:
Within one hour, the new app was downloaded more than 1 million times on [Qihoo's] 360. Within 24 hours, total downloads exceeded 8.7 million on 360. As of Sep 16, it had been downloaded more than 17.5 million times on 360. During the same time frame, Baidu reports over 5 million downloads, while 91 Wireless had 7.9 million, followed by Tencent's 140,000 downloads.
Baidu saw its PC search market eroded by Qihoo last year and now Qihoo is competing with Baidu on mobile too. Baidu, a software company, launched three hardware devices just to compete with Qihoo on mobile traffic. Here is Stifel:
Baidu launches three hardware devices to capture mobile traffic. Last week, Baidu officially launched three devices on device.baidu.com: Xiaodu WiFi (flash drive router, RMB 18.90, or $3.10), Xiaodu router (not available for sale yet), and XiaoduVideo Stick (RMB 198, or $33). Xiaodu WiFi provides similar function of Qihoo's 360 Wifi with a slightly cheaper price. Xiaodu router is said to able to download movies in advance (through Baidu Video) and share content through wifi when connected to a hard drive.
We believe Baidu is competing for mobile access points with the new devices. Specifically, Baidu is trying to compete with Qihoo 360, which just launched two routers in late June and a new mobile video app in September this year.

text: Good day, I am working on a 5-story residential complex in chicago, and I am trying to minimize the number of penetrations through the roof for the VTRs. I was hoping to combine sanitary and kitchen waste vent stacks, but a sr. engineer in the office has notifed me that it is against code. I have reviewed the Illinois Plumbing Code, the Chicago Building Code, and neither mention anything specific about combining kitchen and sanitary venting one way or the other. Does anyone know whether, in the City of Chicago, one can combine sanitary & kitchen vents, and if so, is there a code section that references this? Thank you for you help!

text: Revisiting football records -- and Woody By Mitch Vingle June 22, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It's said idle hands are the devil's workshop. In my case, though, they led to research. And a hell of an update.I began scanning NCAA's football record books. (It was last year's version, though, because the updated one wasn't completed yet.) Figured there would be a few WVU and Marshall players in there somewhere. What I quickly realized, however, is there are scads of records. There are so many Mountaineers in there it would be difficult to list them all.A few?Tom Pridemore, who played in 1975-77, still held the highest average gain per interception (26.5 yards) in a career. He had 15 picks for 398 yards.Todd Sauerbrun had the highest average per punt in a season with a minimum of 50 (48.4 yards) and the highest average in a career with a minimum of 150 (46.3 from 1991-94).Joe Stydahar shared the record of most punts blocked in a season (seven).The roster of Mountaineers listed in the records, though, was long. Among those with records or listed as close include Pat White, Willie Drewrey, Shawn Hackett (TDs scored by fumble return and interception return in a game - two), Rick Sherrod, Major Harris, Steve Slaton, Bruce Irvin, Tavon Austin, Pat McAfee, Brian King, Grant Wiley, Kyle Kayden, James Davis (single game tackles for loss - six, tied with Julius Peppers and others), Avon Cobourne, Aaron Beasley, John Mallory, Frank Nester and Mike Collins.WVU as a team has good records (most forced fumbles in a game, seven, versus Cincinnati in 2003) and bad (most passes attempted without a completion, 18, versus Temple in 1946).The one Mountaineer, though, who will always remain in the books is a guy most know simply as Woody. Paul Woodside has the highest percentage of field goals made under 40 yards, with a minimum of 16 attempts. And the percentage can't get any higher. He hit 23 of 23 from that distance in 1982. (Seven others made 19).Some outlets gave Woodside first-team All-America honors that year. In 1983, he hit 21 of 25 field goals. Yet he'll always be remembered for two things.First, the former walk-on converted a fourth-quarter field goal that gave WVU a 17-14 upset of No. 20 Penn State in 1984 - the first win for West Virginia over the Nittany Lions in 29 years. Then there was his colorful personality. He'd draw various patterns on his shoes with a marker.Since then he's been making a mark in the world of kicking.On Friday, Woodside was in San Diego to work with Chargers kicker Nick Novak."It's funny," Woodside said. "I was with a friend and someone nearby was talking about that Penn State game. My friend nudged me. I looked at the man and said, 'Was the idiot that kicked that field goal wearing stupid shoes?' He said, 'Yes.' 'I said, 'That was me.'" Now 49, Woodside has been around. He's worked in the financial industry. Yet his passion is kicking. He's tutored hundreds of young kickers and is part of an Alexandria, Va., group named Before U Kick that holds and visits camps and clinics."We train more from a holistic view of the mind and heart, as well as the technical side," Woodside said. "We live our lives passionately, not technically." Woodside had one of those young kickers with him on the San Diego trip."If there's a young man who is going to break my record it's going to be him," Woodside said. "And he has the perfect name: Chris Blewitt. He's going to Pitt and I've been working with him. West Virginia didn't want him."(A pause here. Yes, the kid's name is Blewitt. He's from West Potomac High in Alexandria. He was deemed good enough for Pitt to give him a scholarship rather than a walk-on invitation. And, for the record, he's - stunningly - not the first college kicker with that type of name. Harvard had a kicker named Anders Blewett.)"I'm just trying to pass on what I know and love: field-goal kicking and punting," Woodside said. The former Mountaineer has worked camps in Morgantown for around 15 years, including one on June 9. Among those he's tutoring is George Washington High's Reed Deer, who was involved in a tragic car accident that killed teammate Drew Morton.Woodside has also worked with names like Cleveland Browns kicker Shayne Graham. WVU fans might remember Graham for kicking a 44-yard field goal in 1999 that spoiled a dream of defeating Michael Vick and Virginia Tech."Yes, that was him," Woodside said. "He sent me a picture of it. Forty-four yards. He crushed it."The best part of catching up with Woodside, though, was hearing him wax about his days in West Virginia. He married a Charleston woman, Teresa. Her mother, Elsie Atkins, lives in Charleston Gardens."Once I got to West Virginia," Woodside said, "the fans and state moved my heart. I just want to pass that on to whoever I can."I like to be invisible, though, in my role [as a kicking coach]. It's kind of like being a reporter. It's lonely at times. Others don't understand what it's like. But I speak [kickers'] language."Woodside remembered the season he set the record. It was the year of Jeff Hostetler and the season-opening upset of Oklahoma."The offense would move from 20 [-yard line] to 20," he said. "I got opportunities."He paused."I loved that time," he restarted. "We were an up-and-coming company at that time. Now, [WVU is] expected to win. Back then, we were trying to learn how to win."What's great about West Virginia, though, is the fans love you from their hearts, whether you're a starter or not ... There is loyalty. They teach you to do unto others."I took a wonderful wife with me from West Virginia, but I also learned love and loyalty."In a record-breaking fashion.Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

Blanca Commercial Real Estate will tap into its experience as one of South Florida's most active brokerage and advisory firms to lease the remaining 80,000 square feet currently available on the two top floors of the park's first phase, 252,000 square foot building. The team will be led by President and CEO Tere Blanca and Executive Vice Presidents Alison Pages and Danet Linares. Associate Alexander Cahlin will provide leasing support and data and market analysis.
Current park tenants include Advanced Pharma CR, LLC, Community Blood Centers of Florida, the University of Miami Tissue Bank, Spain-based technology firm Ándago, the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce, Binder Biomedical, Denmark-based research firm Glycom, and the Enterprise Development Corporation of South Florida. Retailers include Balans Restaurant, Thea Pizzeria and Cafe, UPS Store and Subway.
"As we fill the remainder of our first building and turn our attention to future phases, we are increasingly seeking to attract new-to-market tenants from Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean and other parts of the U.S.," said Wexford Science & Technology Vice President Joseph Reagan, Jr., AIA. "Blanca Commercial Real Estate brings an extensive network of international and domestic contacts, as well as deep roots in the South Florida community. Their efforts will raise Miami's standing as a global center for research, technology and innovation – with the UMLSTP in Miami leading in these market sectors and serving as a hub of activity."
A number of factors are driving tenant demand at the UMLSTP, including the park's affiliation with University of Miami, location within the Miami Health District, close proximity to dozens of hospitals and research institutes and Miami International Airport, and the city's access to Europe and Latin America, which are both home to thriving life science and technology sectors. Other factors are the Park's technology features, including cloud computing data storage and management and hardwired access to downtown Miami's Network Access Point of the Americas (NAP) data center, which offers direct, satellite-based connectivity to Latin America and Europe, as well as the Park's overall design elements and high quality finishes.
Blanca Commercial Real Estate has an established track record of securing new-to-market tenants from overseas for some of the region's highest-profile properties, says firm President and CEO Tere Blanca.
"The UMLSTP's early success points to Miami's potential as the intersection of science and innovation for North America, South America and Europe. As companies from overseas increasingly look to Miami as a gateway for doing business in the U.S., the UMLSTP is primed to continue attracting companies across a range of industries," Ms. Blanca adds.
Bill Hunter, Project Leasing Manager with Wexford Science & Technology, points out that the park is experiencing early signs of a 'cluster effect' that will bring together academia, industry, residents and businesses from the surrounding neighborhood. He cites Blanca Commercial Real Estate's ability to effectively brand, market and lease mixed-use developments in other South Florida districts as a key factor in the firm's selection.
"Leasing a university-based research park is equal parts real estate expertise, market knowledge, and community building. Blanca Commercial Real Estate has successfully branded real estate developments in line with their location and tenant advantages across South Florida. We plan to similarly market the UMLSTP and broader Health District. The area is one of Miami's top economic engines. The UMLSTP now offers premier office and lab space in a central location that is ten minutes away from all of Miami's major business hubs and the airport along with terrific dining venues on-site for a community of users that are focused on innovation and as the new phases of the UMLSTP are built-out additional amenities and services will expand," says Mr. Hunter.
All told, the UMLSTP master plan includes five buildings with office, lab, clinical, retail and hotel uses totaling between 1.6 and 2 million square feet. The park's first building is projected to create more than 1,150 direct and indirect jobs when fully occupied, according to a study by the Washington Economics Group.
About the University of Miami Life Science & Technology Park
The University of Miami Life Science & Technology Park is a predominantly privately-funded endeavor developed by Wexford Miami, LLC, a subsidiary of Wexford Science & Technology, LLC, in association with the University of Miami. Located in Miami's Health District and adjacent to the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, the park is home to best-in-class research facilities that bridge academia and industry, thereby fostering collaboration and innovation that positively affects people around the world. Development of the park is also making a direct impact on the South Florida economy, resulting in the creation of jobs and further diversifying the region's economic landscape. UMLSTP is located on an 8.8 acre site bounded by Interstate-95 on the east, NW 7th Avenue on the west, NW 17th Street on the south and NW 20th Street on the north. The Park's first phase building at 1951 NW 7th Avenue in Miami is now open. Learn more at www.UMLSTP.com.
