Who said that food is the path to a person's a heart? Well, whoever they were, they were clearly correct judging by the amount of amazing Toronto restaurants we have to choose from.

One of our top 10 dishes in Toronto, the fried green tomatoes. You can thank us later.
Chef Danny Hassell is one to be reckoned with. Just opened in November 2015, Parcae has become a dining destination in our bustling city.

Prince tribute to families of Afghan fallen
PRINCE Harry yesterday promised that soldiers killed in Afghanistan "will forever be in our hearts".
He was unveiling a memorial inscribed with 453 names at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
Some 3,500 people attended, including Prime Minister David Cameron.
The memorial is the same design as the original tribute wall in Camp Bastion.
Harry, 30, said: "Once this ceremony is ended and all the trappings of the day have been cleared away, this will become a place of pilgrimage, a quiet space for remembrance just as it was in Camp Bastion, all those miles away."
Among the fallen was Marine corporal Mark Birch, 26, whose mum Geraldine paid her own tribute with a tattoo on her back. Mark, from Northampton, was killed by a 13-year-old suicide bomber in Helmand Province in 2008.
Meanwhile the Duchess of Cornwall showed off a new handbag resembling a baked bean tin as she unveiled a statue in London yesterday.

Seeney defends travel expenses at budget estimates hearing
Queensland Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney has clashed with Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk at a budget estimates hearing over travel expenses.
Liberal National Party (LNP) Government Ministers are back in front of budget estimates hearings at State Parliament today.
Mr Seeney was questioned by the State Development, Infrastructure and Industry Committee this morning.
Ms Palaszczuk says Mr Seeney spent almost $65,000 in three months for flights between Brisbane and his Callide electorate in central Queensland.
She told the hearing there are nine commercial flights to a town that is an hour's drive away from Mr Seeney's home.
Ms Palaszczuk says other regional MPs use commercial travel.
"I find this very excessive waste of taxpayers' funds - very excessive waste when there are commercial flights available to you," she said.
But Mr Seeney says commercial flight schedules are often unsuitable and charter planes are a reasonable expense.
"I think it's legitimate for me to travel from where I live to Brisbane to do the job of Deputy Premier," he said.
"Those flights are at particular times don't always fit in with the schedule of Deputy Premier."
Mr Seeney says he is not using charter flights every week at the moment and the Opposition is being hypocritical.
"The breathtaking hypocrisy of a member of the former Labor government talking about waste," he said.
'Bad old days'
Ms Palaszczuk also says the LNP is going back to the bad old days of former premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen when it comes to transparency.
She quizzed Mr Seeney about a one-on-one meeting he had with Queensland mining magnate, Clive Palmer.
The meeting was held several days after the State Government announced one of Mr Palmer's rivals would be given the rights to build a major rail project.
Ms Palaszczuk says the usual protocol is to have a staff member present.
"I find it unbelievable that you would have a private meeting with that donor about major project investment," he said.
However, Mr Seeney says there was nothing out of the ordinary about the meeting.
"In case you've missed it, Mr Palmer's been very vocal in is disaffection and his dissatisfaction," he said.
Later today, Energy and Water Minister Mark McArdle and Tourism Minister Jann Stuckey will appear before the hearing.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture that once dominated in Britain. The name Kychehan comes from when one of the family worked as a person who worked in a kitchen as a cook or server. Occupational names that were derived from the common trades of the medieval era transcended European cultural and linguistic boundaries. Occupational names have remained fairly common in the modern period. This is attested to by the continuing appearance of occupational suffixes at the end of many English surnames. Some of these suffixes include: herd, monger, maker, hewer, smith, and wright.
Kychehan Early Origins
Yorkshire where they held a family seat from medieval times.
Kychehan Spelling Variations
Kychehan Spelling Variations
The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Kychehan has been spelled many different ways, including Kitchingham, Kitchenman, Kitchinman, Kitchingman, Kycheman, Kychenman, Kechynman and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Kychehans to arrive in North America: William Kitchinman who settled in Virginia in 1738 and James Kitchenman who sailed to Pennsylvania in 1848.

The camp's 11 Beruga pantai are inspired by and modelled after a traditional Sasak fishing camp. The hand made ocean front Berugas are built using recycled wood and bamboo with alang alang roofs. 'camp' houses. All 11 Berugas have unfettered views over the main Beloam beach and the private cove to the island of Sumbawa, the Alas strait and the island of Sumbawa.
Berugas Pantai are exceptionally large with a total 60 square meters of covered living space providing unexpected comfort within a rugged camping environment. The Beruga Pantai boasts a large over sized day bed on the covered terrace. The sleeping area is air conditioned with a king size mosquito netted bed. A mix of coffees and teas are provided in the room with hot water provided daily. The bathroom and terrace areas are covered but are not fully enclosed. As electric power is limited, air conditioning will only be available in the evenings.
These wooden, bamboo and alang alang camp houses have unfettered views over the beach and the private cove to the Timur Sea beyond. Each features a large day bed on the covered terrace, a mosquito netted king size bed in an air conditioned sleeping room, and direct beach access.
- Room Safe - Views
- Shower - separate - Desk
- Linen and Towels Provided - Ceiling Fans
- Air conditioned - Verandah
- Tea/Coffee Making -Non-Smoking
Surrounded by a 55 hectare nature forest preserve, the camp's eleven berugas are perched on a sand dune above a 250 meter long white sand beach. With views from the front terraces of the berugas across the Alas Strait to the island of Sumbawa and the open Hindia Ocean, the beach camp occupies one of the more spectacular natural settings in Lombok.
The beach camp is off the main power grid and relies upon solar power supported by a back up diesel fuel generator to provide electricity to the camp. Water is supplied through rain catchment basins and by bringing in water from a nearby fresh well. Solar cells are used to heat water for showers and other needs.
Due to the isolated nature of the camp and the overall lack of infrastructure in the area, lodging at Beach Camp is all inclusive with accommodation including all meals, water, soft drinks and juices. Meals are served in the large, custom made, open sided tent that serves as the camp's restaurant and central gathering area. The dining tent is located on a large sunbathing deck with views across the cove to Sumbawa and of Mount Rinjani behind the dining tent.
The camp faces the Timor Sea and Alas Strait separating Lombok and Sumbawa on the Eastern edge of Lombok's Tanjung Ringgit peninsula. The camp is near Ekas Bay with its world class diving and surfing opportunities and an easy walk to Teluk Temeak for snorkeling, diving and other water sports. Diving for advanced divers is also possible outside the cove and along the cliffs of Tanjung Ringgit facing the Alas Straits.
The camp's 11 beach front berugas are traditional camp style inspired berugas with spacious covered beach front and ocean view terraces. Due to limited capacity to generate electricity, only the sleeping area of the berugas have air conditioning that is available during certain hours. A small library shares the reception area while a spa offering basic local massage treatments is located on a small knoll behind the dining tent.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NFL column: Mobile QBs changing game
TAMPA - In these pass-happy times, NFL quarterbacks still do the bulk of their damage from the pocket. But when the new breed takes off on the run, that's when the real heartache begins. Six of the nine quarterbacks who rushed for more than 250 yards this season led their clubs into the playoffs, representing half the postseason field. Three were rookies – Washington's Robert Griffin III, Seattle's Russell Wilson and Indianapolis' Andrew Luck – while San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick and Minnesota's Christian Ponder are second-year pros. The only veteran in the group is Aaron Rodgers of the Packers, who runs just often and well enough to bedevil defensive backs."People have all kinds of arguments with the guys playing today,'' Hall of Fame quarterback and ESPN analyst Steve Young said. "If you have learned the position, which is to deliver the ball from the pocket, if you've mastered it, you're on your way. But being able to move around is just a huge advantage … fact.'' Luck and Griffin were eliminated in the opening playoff round, but Wilson heads into the Georgia Dome today to take on the NFC's No. 1 seed. While Griffin and second-year pro Cam Newton combined for 1,556 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground, Wilson ran for 489 yards as a third-round draft pick out of Wisconsin. The Seahawks take a six-game winning streak into today's matchup and Wilson's 27 touchdown passes topped Peyton Manning's previous record for rookie quarterbacks. "They've kind of changed their offensive philosophy with the new quarterback and he's doing an outstanding job,'' Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "Russell Wilson can extend plays. When he goes back to pass, he's a guy that can turn a five-second play into 12 or 13 seconds. That can cause issues for guys in coverage.'' The old quarterback vanguard was still well represented as Manning and Tom Brady led the Broncos and Patriots to the AFC's top two playoff seeds. But the times they are a-changin' and the next generation of NFL quarterbacks relishes the opportunity to stay one step ahead of the defense. "I think it's truly about the preparation and it comes well before we get them,'' Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "It goes way back to junior high and high school and everyone's throwing the ball. Now we're seeing the really fast guys that have added the running element. The league has shifted. In a league that changes so slowly, it's exciting to see there's been a shift.'' Wait until Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel joins the wild bunch. Young's mobility was dazzling during a 15-year NFL career that saw the one-time Buccaneer retire with 4,239 rushing yards and 43 touchdowns on the ground. "I think you're going to see that people will see the benefits of mobile quarterbacks in the long-term,'' Young said. "Now, Peyton and Tom have forever proven me wrong on that, but I think you're starting to see the potential for what mobile quarterbacks can do, especially on third down.'' Some Bucs fans wouldn't mind seeing quarterback Josh Freeman scramble more. Freeman's rushing totals plunged from 364 yards in 2010 to 139 last season, when Tampa Bay missed the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. "As soon as a mobile quarterback learns the job, Andrew Luck is probably going to be the first one that gets there, that's when you get to complete capitulation of defenses,'' Young said. "They just don't know what to do. You've seen RG III do that at times this year as a rookie and you've seen Russell Wilson do that as a rookie. It's incredible the things these guys can accomplish.''

Keep Your Personal Brand Alive
By Marsha Friedman
Turn on the television, pick up a newspaper, or visit the Internet and you will be inundated with messages about brand products. Tide is a brand. Pepsi is a brand. Nike is a brand. And so are you or at least you should be. If you open a dictionary, the word brand is defined as a type of product manufactured by a particular company under a particular name. These days you need to be that product. Here are a few suggestions to tune up your personal brand, get it launched, and keep it alive:
- Make sure your website represents you exactly the way you want to be seen. This is one of the best places to control your image. That could mean you want to be viewed as witty, intellectual, or physically fit. It could mean you want the world to see you as an expert in a particular field. Maybe you want to convey an image of trust.
- Maintain a strong social media presence. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social media sites are invaluable tools for networking or getting your message out quickly under your personal brand. Also, make sure you have a unified message that weaves through your website, your social media sites and anything else you use to promote yourself. Design elements should be consistent from one platform to the next as well.
- Keep your presence alive in traditional media, too, making yourself available for interviews. Media appearances act as a third-party endorsement, casting you as an authority in your field. This also needs constant cultivation. If you were quoted in a newspaper article last year, then youre last years news. Even worse, if your competitor is quoted in an article today, theyve become more relevant than you and are winning the personal-branding war.
- Branding yourself is not a one-shot deal. Your branding effort never stops. Its ongoing. The bottom line is that creating a personal brand is one of the keys to success in todays world. By branding yourself making sure the world knows who you are and the expertise you have to offer you not only set yourself apart from your competitors but you also open the door to new opportunities.

Mix the Perfect Sales Cocktail
By Anthony Caliendo
With thousands of different sales techniques and philosophies that salespeople attempt to master, we find ourselves using trial and error, sampling and tasting until we think weve mixed the right sales cocktail that will increase our closing ratios. The following are five top techniques for tuning up and mixing a successful sales cocktail:
- Sell yourself. Selling is not about selling your product or service; its about selling yourself. First and foremost, you have to think of yourself as your product. What attracts consumers to a product? The packaging, its features, its price, its guarantees? As a sales person, you have to market yourself in the same manner. You are the manufacturer of your product: which is you. Dress for success, channel confidence and charisma from within, and attract your buyer to you.
- Make your prospect comfortable. You have to make your customer want to engage with you and do business with you. Even with todays online researching and buying trends, they will not buy from you if they do not like you and trust you.
- Master The art of asking questions without asking. Learn how to open up the dialogue and then learn how to listen. Listening is a skill: Not everyone is born with the ability to listen. But if you want to learn how to improve your sales skills, learn and practice your listening skills. Next thing you know, youve gathered all the info you need for your closing arsenal. Now close.
- Isolate your buyers hot spots. Create value, create need, and create solutions for your potential buyers. Hone in on what is actually important to your buyers, and then be prepared to give them the solutions they are looking for, not the pitch youve been preparing for months.
- Recognize Emotional Drivers and Negotiate Accordingly. You are pitching a product to your prospects to solve their problem not to solve yours. So when your prospects are giving you clues as to what they may be thinking or feeling, you need to recognize that this is what drives them to make their final buying decisions. So tune in and negotiate accordingly.

Build a Successful Sales Team from Scratch
By Eliot Burdett
Building a sales team from scratch is one of the most difficult and important tasks of a business owner. Hiring the wrong salespeople costs dearly in time and treasure. Fortunately, there is a tuned-up, 9-step formula for success:
- Dont build too soon. Any entrepreneur yearns for revenue streams, but if the product is not ready, the offering is shifting, the budget for an industry leader is not there or the appropriate management support is not in place, hiring salespeople can be a waste of limited resources.
- Define your sales team structure.Before hiring can commence, clearly defining the structure of the sales team is critical.
- Assign territories.Defining sales territories focuses selling efforts and prevents employees from targeting the same accounts and cannibalizing their efforts.
- Map out individual sales goals. Identify the goals used to measure success for each sales team member. These should include not only revenue goals but also the sales activity required to achieve the revenue.
- Determine the base and commission.Sales compensation plans vary widely across industries and companies, but as a rule of thumb, new business development positions pay a 50/50 split of base salary and commission.
- Hire based on sales DNA and not resume. Ideally, hire a candidate that has a proven track record of selling in startups. However, more important is to measure their sales DNA which we define as key traits of successful sellers such as ambition, perseverance, confidence, optimism, sense of urgency, desire to influence others, flexibility and ability to deal with uncertainty.
- Focus on the things thatattract top sales talent. The key is to make eye-catching job ads, offer a viable and well-defined career as opposed to just a job, get compensation offers right, and focus on attracting gainfully employed sales people.
- Implement a structured onboarding program.The first 90 days of a sales reps employment are a critical time. Each day should be mapped out in terms of training on the product/service, the market and customers, and the selling approaches, systems and tools.
- Measure success.It is critical that a new sales hires performance be monitored and measured closely.

Develop a Systematic Approach to Cross-Selling
By John Boe
The proactive, ongoing sales process of cross-selling is designed to provide your customers with a full spectrum of your company's products and services. Not surprisingly, two of the key elements that drive effective cross-selling are trust and convenience. Your customers trust in your company can be converted into additional sales that are not directly related to their existing products. The good news about the cross-selling process is that its one of the most profitable and least risky endeavors a sales rep can undertake. It pays to cross-sell, because when you go the extra mile and provide information about additional products to your customers, you are tuning up your sales and are being financially rewarded for helping them make a more informed buying decision.
The first exposure I had to cross-selling was as a teenager in high school working part-time at McDonalds during my summer vacation. Looking back on my brief tenure at the restaurant, I can still hear my manager's daily refrain; be polite, keep the counter clean, and always ask the customers if they would like some fries with their meal.
Developing a systematic approach to cross-selling enhances the customers buying experience and brings in additional revenue with relatively low expense and effort. As you prepare for your next sales appointment, look for cross-selling opportunities that you can incorporate into your presentation. Sales reps who fail to effectively cross-sell products actually do a disservice to their customers and leave the back door open to their competitors!

Focus on Marketing to Millennials
By Trung Pham, CEO of AXIS
With 83 million Millennials possessing $1.3 trillion in annual buying power, and setting to inherit $30 trillion more from their Generation X and baby boomer parents, companies need to invest heavily in Marketing to Millennials.
They are the first generation not following the script of education, marriage, house, and then family, leaving advertisers perplexed. They also have a world of information at their fingertips allowing them to form their own opinions about brands, are the most educated generation in history, are highly diverse, and like being green. The following are six reasons entrepreneurs should not simply Market to Millennials, but should make it the primary focus of tuning up their marketing programs.
- Society follows their lead.The entire world is following the lead of the current trendsetting youth generation (See Facebook). Those who can resonate with this group will then have the rest of the population following suit.
- Appeal to the tech-savvy but not handy.The younger generation is between a rock and hard place when it comes to being handy. Our parents were able to build and fix things, where increasingly the current generation is not. While young people prefer to do a lot of things virtually, there will always be a need to develop physical products that function as seamlessly as their Apps do.
- Benefit from speaking the same language.While entrepreneurs can be any age, the majority of entrepreneurs are young and hungry. In fact, many of them are Millennials. The ability to speak the same language as their target market offers a huge competitive advantage and will yield impressive results.
- Enjoy two types of green.Targeting Millennials offers the opportunity to enjoy two types of green the type that has a positive impact on society and the type that lines pockets. Whether their concern is creating green jobs, global warming, or getting away from foreign oil addiction, Millennials will feel better about supporting you if there is a social responsibility.
- Consider their lifetime value.Baby boomers are certainly still a big market. However, they can be seen as getting a little long in the tooth. If the Millennials develop brand affinity, they will stay with you for life. It provides an opportunity to grow and evolve as they do and makes for a sound business model for the next 50 years or so.
- Be global, mobile, and social.The key to doing good business is reaching consumers wherever, and whenever they are. Current and future generations will be increasingly global, mobile, and social. This ability to overcome geographic barriers should excite entrepreneurs and give them license to think really big.
Trung Pham is the CEO of AXIS, a company that designs do-it-yourself (DIY) home products for a generation of Millennials that are tech-savvy but not handy. The company is in the process of launching the AXIS Gear, a smart motor designed to be easily installed on to existing window shades, and the AXIS Duo, a portable window shade designed for renters.

7 Reasons to Market with Bloggers/Online Influencers
By Christine Viera
Most brands dont recognize how valuable blogger (or online influencer) initiatives can be, or that the best part about online influencers is the whole audience with an audience concept. After all, bloggers have more power than ever to truly activate an audience, and that can manifest in an increase in sales, a spike in brand preference, even just increased conversation about a brand. One thing is increasingly clear no matter what the end goal, there is no doubt that the rise of online influencers impacts how consumers choose products. The following are the benefits of tuning up your marketing with influencer campaigns:
- The personal touch. There are no big-name marketing companies behind the products these influencers post about. Their words are authentic, typed and posted by them, usually from their homes after actually using the products or services.
- People trust them. Online influencers are normal people. They arent millionaire celebrities, or part of the royal family. People follow them for honest and real reviews of products, and genuinely trust the influencers opinion. Theyre part of a community together, and that network is built on trust.
- No hidden agenda. They dont deal with an editor or red tape. They write what they want, when they want that is both powerful and empowering.
- Truly powerful paid content ? much more than just an ad. No flashy $3-million commercial spots or blink-and-youll-miss-it banner ads. Even when paying for content, influencers post only products they use, making the ad more impactful than nearly anything else you can buy. And the residual SEO value cant be beat.
- No politics. No bosses mean that no one else is controlling content. Nobody with a secret agenda is telling them what they need to write about; these truly transparent conversations are happening already why arent your favorite brands participating?
- Target marketing made easier. Looking for a peanut-butter-loving stay-at-home dad of three? Theres a blog for that. Seriously. Engaging with bloggers allows brands to market to uber-specific audiences that will be more apt to connecting with their product/service. Its just smart.
- Cost-effective. Compare it to a running ad in a magazine or a commercial slot on television and youve got yourself a good deal. No production costs!
Many brands are turning to automated influencer marketing platforms, like Find Your Influence. For more information, visit http://www.findyourinfluence.com/.
Ignore Five Web Marketing Metrics
By Marc Gordon
If your company's online presence is a part of your marketing program, then you've likely used a number of indicators to gauge the success of your efforts. Facebook likes, Twitter followers, and email open rates while numbers don't lie, they can certainly be deceiving. So before you post your next tweet, tune up your marketing and check out these five metrics that you should likely ignore.
- Facebook likes. Liking a Facebook post involves just a single mouse click. The motivating factor behind that click can be virtually anything. That means there's no way to know how relevant your Facebook community really is. Add to that the fact that organic reach is now less than 1%, and you might find yourself reaching out to no one.
- Twitter followers. The number of followers you have says very little about your reach or influence. In fact, many of them may not even be real people. Like Facebook, it's impossible to know what motivates someone to follow you. And unless you're an avid tweeter, you'll likely get lost in the feed. And even then, they may place you in a list that rarely gets seen.
- Email open rates. In theory, the more people that open your emails, the more people that read them. However depending on their email settings, they may read your email without technically opening it or open it without actually reading it. And even if they read it, you won't know if they have any interest in what you have to say. Unless they choose to opt out.
- Share stats. It looks impressive to have big numbers on those little social share icons you may have on your blog posts. But there are two things to keep in mind. First, the number on a share icon only increases if someone clicks on it. That means that if they use a social media browser plug-in to share – or just copy the link, the numbers won't increase regardless. Second, you won't know who shared, or how strong their networks are. So that blog post that got shared 36 times on Facebook might have been seen by 2 people.
- YouTube views. Everyone wants a video that goes viral. However, if you're using video as a targeted marketing tool, then it's not how many that matters, it's who. Do you really care to be seen by the same person that religiously shares video's of singing dogs and trick jugglers? Focus on getting your video in front of those whose attention you most want.

Gina Lee-Glauser Named Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Gina Lee-Glauser, vice president for research at Syracuse University and research professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering in SU's L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, was named a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
The fellow grade is the highest elected grade of membership in ASME. Fellowship is conferred upon a member with at least 10 years of active engineering practice who has made significant contributions to the profession.
"We are very proud of Gina and this recognition of her extraordinary contributions to her profession and our University," says Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric F. Spina. "She is such a selfless and generative person it is wonderful to see her singled out for acclaim by a national organization with the standing of ASME."
Lee-Glauser was nominated for outstanding contributions in academic/education research management and leadership spanning almost two decades at two different research universities, Syracuse University and Clarkson University. She spearheaded the concept of proactive faculty-centered university research services to promote and support research, training and creative activities through sponsored programs.
She also championed promotion of university-wide multidisciplinary activities, university-industry collaboration to accelerate the transfer of University knowledge to industry to spur innovation and enhance economic impact, and programmatic activities to enrich and support underrepresented minority science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students on campus. Her professional accomplishments are highlighted by her service to national organizations that support the engineering profession, including the ABET board of directors and the ASME Kate Gleason Award Committee, among many others.
"This promotion to ASME Fellow is indeed a great honor and recognition by my peers in mechanical engineering," Lee-Glauser says. "This would not have been possible without the strong support of my Syracuse University colleagues and staff as well as my colleagues in ASME, especially those on the Committee of Engineering Education."
In the Office of the Vice President for Research (VPR), Lee-Glauser oversees SU's central resources that support extramural research activities, including relevant policies. She also oversees the University-wide interdisciplinary research centers on campus, including the New York Center for Advanced Technology—Center for Advanced Systems and Engineering (CASE) at SU; the Syracuse Biomaterials Institute; the Burton Blatt Institute and Institute for Veterans and Military Families.
Prior to her current duties, Lee-Glauser served as associate vice president of research and was director of the Center for Advanced Systems and Engineering, and had overall responsibility of the University's Office of Technology Transfer and Industrial Development. The center had a total economic impact of more than $160 million during the three years when she led the center (2006-2008).
She initiated the CASE Co-op and Internship Program to provide experiential learning opportunities for international graduate students and to provide access to highly talented professional students to businesses.
Among her work to expand diversity on campus and support for underrepresented students, she manages the University STEM graduate fellowship program and is a faculty mentor for the Upstate Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) and Miami Posse I. She led the Central New York-Puerto Rico Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP), and was faculty mentor to the Collegiate Science & Technology Entry Program (CSTEP), Ronald E. McNair Scholars program.
Lee-Glauser also serves on a number of regional business and economic development organizations, including the Central New York Accelerator Advisory Board, Central New York Technology Development Organization and the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems.
Lee-Glauser received bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering from the University of Buffalo and a Ph.D. in mechanical and aeronautical engineering from Clarkson University. She conducted her postdoctoral work at NASA Langley Research Center. Her areas of expertise include structural dynamics and control, active and passive vibration control, learning control and system identification.
ASME is a professional organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the role of the engineer in society. The organization has 125,000 members worldwide—about 125 members are named fellows each year.

Major characters
- Stanley Yelnats IV: Stanley is the unlikely hero of Holes. Stanley is an overweight 14-year-old boy who does not have any friends from school and is often picked on by his classmates and the school bully. Stanley's family is cursed with bad luck, and although they do not have much money, they always try to remain hopeful and look on the bright side of things. Stanley shares these traits with his family and, although he does not have a lot of self-confidence, he is not easily depressed, a characteristic that helps him adjust to the horrendous conditions of Camp Green Lake. However, he has a bad habit which attributes his great-great-grandfather when he gets in trouble. This habit made him impudent.[6] As the book progresses, Stanley slowly develops physical strength and mental strength. He identifies the people who threaten him, like the Warden, and while he tries not to get in trouble he also stands up for his own right and the rights of his friends and family.
- X-Ray (Rex Washburn): X-Ray is the unofficial head of the group of boys in group D. X-Ray decides that Stanley will be called Caveman and fixes the order of the line for water. X-Ray maintains his position as the leader of the boys even though he is one of the smallest boys and can barely see without his glasses. He convinces Stanley to give him the lipstick tube that Stanley finds in his hole so that he can have the day off instead of Stanley. X-Ray is able to maintain his position at the head of the group through a system of rewards and allies. Every time that Stanley does something nice for X-Ray, X-Ray is nice to Stanley and stands up for him when the other boys pick on him. When Stanley becomes friends with Zero, however, X-Ray's system is threatened and he becomes hostile towards Stanley. His nickname X-ray comes from its being pig Latin of his actual name, Rex.
- Zero (Hector Zeroni): Zero is known to be the best digger at Camp Green Lake. So often, he is considered to be "stupid" or a mere nothing by the other boys and the counselors at the lake. He lacks an education, meaning he cannot really read nor write. However, he is smart and manages to stand for himself in the face of adversity. Typically he is noted as the character that hardly speaks due to the fact that he is wary of those who mock him (Mr. Pendanski). He is said to always have a scowl on his face and does not like to answer questions. Zero is shown to be an honest character after becoming close friends with Stanley. Zero is the one who steals the shoes that Stanley was accused of stealing. He is the great-great-great-grandson of Madame Zeroni, the woman who put a curse on Stanley's family. He has been homeless for most of his life, as well as being abandoned by his mother at a very young age. Although he suffers quite a bit, he always seems to persevere and come out on top.
- Squid (Alan): Squid is a member of Group D at Camp Green Lake. He is often the one for taunting Stanley for receiving letters to and from his mother. Just like X-Ray, Squid is very tough but very subservient to X-Ray's rules and directions.
- Magnet (Josè): Another member of Group D. Magnet earned his nickname because of his ability to steal, he refers to his fingers as "little magnets".
- Armpit (Theodore Johnson): One of X-Ray's close friends at camp, he is essentially the one who pushes Stanley once Stanley calls him Armpit. He is called "Armpit" because a scorpion stung him on the arm.
- Zigzag (Ricky): Zigzag is described to being the tallest kid of Group D, constantly looking like he has been electrocuted. Stanley often thinks he is the weirdest and craziest kid at Camp Green Lake. Zigzag is the one who hit Stanley on the head with a shovel and did not apologize for doing so. Zigzag suffers from paranoia, highlighting his displayed "craziness".
- The Warden: Running Camp Green Lake, she is known to be violent, abusive, and quite mean. She uses her power and privilege to get what she wants and make members of the camp to do as she wants. She has hidden cameras, using them to spy on the members of the Camp. She is often thought of to have hidden cameras in the showers, causing Stanley to be paranoid whenever he took a shower, rushing out as fast as possible. She wears nail polish traced with rattlesnake venom, causing her to scratch those when they displease or go against what she says. She has the members of Camp Green Lake digging holes to look for Kate Barlow's Hidden treasure.
- Mr. Sir: One of the counselors at Camp Green Lake, he's constantly eating sunflower seeds. He took up this habit after deciding to quit smoking. He is known to be mean and tough.
- Mr. Pendanski: In group D at Camp Green Lake Mr. Pendanski is in charge. Mr. Pendanski may seem friendly, but he is just as mean as the Warden and Mr. Sir. He never stops making fun of Zero.
Pre–Camp Lake characters
- Katherine Barlow (Kissin' Kate Barlow): Katherine Barlow is a sweet and intelligent woman who teaches in a one-room school house on Green Lake one hundred ten years before it becomes Camp Green Lake. She falls in love with Sam, the man who sells onions in the town, because he is kind, strong, and smart. Although the rest of the white people in the town are racist and enforce rules that prohibit black people from going to school, Kate, who is white, does not care about the color of a person's skin and she loves Sam for the person that he is. When Kate and Sam kiss the town grows angry and kills Sam. Kate is devastated by Sam's death and is driven mad. She becomes Kissin' Kate Barlow, one of the most feared outlaws in the west. Kissin' Kate would always leave her mark by kissing someone when she had killed them; if she had only robbed them, she would leave them in the hot desert letting the yellow-spotted lizards bite the victim with their poisonous teeth and kill them. She was the outlaw responsible for robbing Stanley Yelnats I (Stanley's ancestor), whose treasure is later found by Stanley and Hector (Zero).
- Sam: A black farmer in the town Green Lake, Texas who grew onions. He believed onions were the cure to everything. He made many remedies from onions. He also had an immense love for his donkey, Mary Lou. His relationship to Kate began when Sam exchanged his onions for a jar of peaches. Since Sam is black, he did suffer a great deal of racism. He was killed by the townspeople for kissing Kate. His death was led off by Charles Walker (Trout Walker).
- Charles Walker (Trout): An extremely spoiled and rich son of a rich family in Green Lake. He gets upset when Kate denies his request to date her. This angers him, causing him to lead the townspeople to burn down the schoolhouse and kill Sam. His nickname Trout came about due to his foot fungus that caused his feet to smell like dead fish.
Characters in mid-1800s Latvia
- Elya Yelnats: Elya is the great-great-grandfather of Stanley. He is often referred to as his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather", constantly being blamed for everything that goes wrong in Stanley's life. He is considered to be the reason why the Yelnats family has such bad luck. After he fell in love with the woman in Latvia, he travels to America, forgetting to go through with the promise he made to a gypsy named Madame Zeroni. This causes generations of bad luck to trickle down the Yelnats family tree. However, he does pass down an important song that Madame Zeroni taught him in Latvia.
- Madame Zeroni: Madame Zeroni is the great- great-great-grandmother of Hector Zeroni (Zero). She was great friends with Elya Yelnats, who is given a pig by Madame Zeroni but he just so happened to break his promise of carrying her to the top of the mountain. She is considered to be the one who put a "curse" on the Yelnats family.
Minor Characters
- Stanley Yelnats I: Stanley Yelnats I is the son of Elya Yelnats as well as the great-grandfather of Stanley Yelnats IV. He was the one whose treasure was stolen from Kate Barlow while he was moving from New York to California. He is known to be survived by climbing to the top of a thumb-shaped mountain (God's Thumb) which happens to be Sam's old onion field.
- Mr. Yelnats: Mr. Yelnats is Stanley's father. He is an inventor and quite smart, but extremely unlucky. He attempts to discover a way to recycle old sneakers because the Yelnats' apartment smells bad. However, he eventually discovers a cure to ridding foot odor and is able to hire a lawyer, Ms. Morengo to get Stanley out of Camp Green Lake.
- Mrs. Yelnats: Mrs. Yelnats is Stanley's mother. She does not believe in curses but always points out the terrible luck that the Yelnats go through.

When I was little, I could remember very few things at the age of seven
on television except Captain Kangaroo. However, lightening had struck
the night I first saw Nancy Fox on ABC's "Temperature's Rising". She
was my FIRST childhood crush. I can remember seeing her in TV Guide,
and when my dad threw the magazine in the garbage, I had lost my
soul-mate and my whole world was in a mess.
The only reason that I am giving this TV show a perfect "10" is because of Nancy's presence on the sitcom. I remember she played a gorgeous, dim-witted student nurse, Ellen Turner. After the show went off the air, I searched and searched for Nancy, but I couldn't find her on TV. She was such a goddess, and I'm sure she still is, and had a sultry, perky voice with fabulous curves. For years I thought she had played "Vera" on the popular CBS TV show, "Alice", but it was a different actress, Beth Howland. Nancy did appear on episodes of "Charlie's Angels" and was a childhood friend of Jaclyn Smith.
In case you should happen to come across this writing, Nancy, I guess the world wants to know how you're doing these days??? You should have a website and photos on the Internet. We, who miss you, bow in prayer and say, "Hail, Nancy!"

We are not subject to leverage lending guidelines at this point, and we're not criticized like a bank would be. It lets us do our own credit work, which I think is a good thing. We don't have to rely on the regulators to tell us if it's a good or bad loan. I don't think we have ever turned down a deal because we didn't think it would pass.feedback

Guilin and nearby rice terraces
Guilin Travel Blog› entry 39 of 79 › view all entries
I spent in Guilin two full days. I walked around the city in the very first one, climbed the Decai Shan (mountain) with a very nice view of the city. Then I met an English teacher with whom I spent about 2 hours, he showed me very to eat the best noodles in the town (just for 3 yuan :-) and then we went to a tea house to taste 5 different kinds of tea...again only for 5 yuan. The Tea Master was his friend and studied "tea business" for about 3 years. Tea was excellent.
The other day I took a tour to rice terraces (150y) because I was told I would need to change a bus twice or 3 times before I could get to the final village....and also the price for the organized trip was quite reasonable. I think the rice terraces were impressive although some people might complain that they are not as beautiful as on postcards....Well, one has to note that if you want to get green coloured rice fields you need to get there in the spring instead of in the autumn. On our way back, we stopped in a village where all women, irrespective of the age, have long (1.5m) black hair. They are allowed to cut their hair only once in their lifetime when they are 18 years old. And the secret for having black hair at the age of 60 or 70? Wash your hair in a water left after cooking rice :-) :-) :-)


text: Two issues, one thread. First, memory curiosity. I use Advanced Task Killer. A beautiful little app mind you. I love that it shows available memory on the phone before and after tasks are killed. Lately I've done a little test though. Soft boot phone. All tasks killed. Available Memory: 255 (average) But continuing throughout the day, killing all tasks, that memory number seems to drop lower and lower, under the same conditions the phone was in during the soft boot. Is this normal for memory to slowly disappear? ------------------------------------- Secondly, keeping my phone in my pocket leads to lint. Specifically build up in the small space between the glass and the red earpiece above the Verizon logo. Is this small red piece removable? I have used canned air, a pin, a blade, and nothing can work some of this out.

The Best Architectural Masterpieces That You Need To See
They say the greatest stories lie between the covers of somebody's passport. And architecture affect people far more then we realize as we usually travel to see something interesting and amazing, like a particular city, bridge or building. Architecture is a way of manifesting all human activity and beautiful objects often serve as inspiration and admiration. And if you're can't pack your bags right this moment and travel, we're here to show you the most fabulous architecture in the whole world (at least through the photos).
1. Nasir al Molk Mosque, Shiraz, Iran
The most amazing thing happens when light hits the windows of this amazing mosque in Iran. A rain of colors that drops to the interior is especially beautiful in the morning when sun rises. This traditional mosque was built over a period of 12 years and finished in 1888, and it is also called Pink mosque because of the domination of this color. How incredible does this look? See for yourself!
2. Parliament Building, Budapest, Hungary
One of the most magnificent buildings in Europe is certainly this landmark of Hungary that lies on the bank of beautiful river Danube. It was built in gothic style with over a 40 million bricks along with precious stones and 40 kilograms of gold. Construction was completed in 1904 and this is one of the tallest buildings in Budapest that will certainly take your breath away when you look at it.
3. Prague Orloj, Prague, Czech Republic
This amazing Astronomical Clock was installed way back in 1410 and this is the oldest astronomical clock in the world that still works. It has three main components that represent the different astronomical details like position of Sun and Moon and calendar. Legend says that its clockmaster was blinded so he couldn't repeat his masterpiece and master later destroyed the clock mechanism in revenge. Whatever the story is, this clock will have your heart stop by at least a second.
4. Taj Mahal, Agra, India
This white marble mausoleum that translates crown of palaces is a perfect combination of Islamic, Persian, Turkish and Indian architecture. It was commissioned in 1632 and tells a love story about the emperor who built this as a tomb to his late wife. According to legend, emperor even wanted to build a Black Taj Mahal across white mausoleum, but his own son imprisoned him. And Taj Mahal still remains one of the most romantic places in the world whose architecture is surely captivating.
5. Wat Rong Khun or White Temple, Thailand
This temple is best known as White temple and this is unconventional temple in private possession open to visitors all year round. A visual artist who decided to renovate an old temple with his own money designed it in 1997 and it now serves as a center for meditation and learning. And we are positive that after an hour of meditation in this place, all your worries would be forgotten (at least for a day or two).
In the end, if you have your own favorite architectural places, we would love to know what they are. And if you have your own photos of incredible architecture even better, as you can easily turn them into canvas masterpieces and make your memory last forever!Google+

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- Mayor Shayne Gallo apparently now supports a plan to turnĀ Sophie Finn Elementary School in the city into a satellite campus of Ulster County Community College.
Following a meeting on Wednesday with County Executive Michael Hein, Gallo released a statement in which he said he fully supports the project, which he called "an innovative and cooperative plan that will enhance the quality of life of our residents and create an educational corridor in Midtown Kingston."
On Monday, Gallo called the plan "well-intentioned" but said he had serious concerns about the ramifications to the area around Sophie Finn, which is on Mary's Avenue, and the rest of the city.
He said a number of his concerns could have been addressed if he had been "looped in" to the initial planning of the project.
Hein unveiled his plan for the elementary school last month on the same day Kingston school district Superintendent Paul Padalino recommended closing three elementary schools, including Sophie Finn.
Under Hein's plan -- which is contingent on the Kingston Board of Education approving the school closings -- the community college's satellite campus, now in the county's Business Resource Center in the town of Ulster, would move to the vacated Sophie Finn building. County offices located in buildings on Flatbush and South Manor avenues in Kingston then would move to the vacated college space, and the two county buildings in the city would be sold and put back on the tax rolls, Hein has said.
Gallo had questioned the impact the plan would have on students now attending Sophie Finn and on traffic and stormwater runoff in the neighborhood around the school, which is behind Kingston High School and across the street from Benedictine Hospital. He also expressed concern over what would happen to the county buildings being vacated and the potential impact on other businesses and industry in the area.
"After discussing some of my concerns with the county executive, I am confident that they can all be reasonably addressed and that the STRIVE (Shared Taxpayer Relief Through Innovative Visions in Education) project will greatly benefit the city, county, Kingston city school district and SUNY Ulster (UCCC)," the mayor said in his statement.
"The ... project will provide for enhanced educational opportunities and a pathway for better education for our children while fully taking into account the neighborhood's needs," Gallo added. "Additionally, I find the economic development opportunities this project provides exciting. By placing two county properties back on the tax rolls, the city will benefit through increased economic activity and additional tax revenues."
Hein said he and Gallo "had a highly productive meeting."
"I am glad that the mayor is now on board, and I look forward to working with him and all our partners to bring this ... project to fruition," the county executive said.

First I'll describe the area. The post was to the right of a machine gun post maybe a hundred yards or so and it was one of those plots of planted areas. On the front side was a rise of a couple or three feet and to our left was a rise of about the same amount and then to our left it flattened and the other machine gun post was out there. Well, we could stand and look to the front and look out over this expansive area, sort of hilly but terraced as farmland is. Out toward the front was a fairly large area of either rice or some sort of grain. It was late at night and Neal and I were on guard duty together. Neal had a browning automatic rifle and I had an M1. We were standing there just peering out. There was a moon out so everything was fairly light and I wasn't particularly searching, but Neal said:
"Look out there do you see that little ripple in that grainfield?" Sure enough there was a ripple that looked like a trail. That was exactly what it was, there was a Japanese soldier crawling along, keeping down in the grain; but you could see his trail cut into that field. If you didn't look closely you wouldn't notice it, however, Neal did notice it. He picked up his BAR and aimed and fired and the tracers were shooting out there. He directed it right into the Jap who jumped up in the air. You could see his body go up and land a few feet ahead and then there was no more movement. We had a field telephone and reported back about what had happened. All was quiet for the rest of that night. We had the post set up with about six or eight men so Neal and I were not alone that night. There were at least four others sleeping in pup tents and of course we awakened them with the burst of that BAR.
About the next night or the night after I was out there again. It was fun to be out there at night just keeping your eyes focused, watching. This particular night, Karl Jahn and I were on watch and it was probably about midnight and time to report in. We were supposed to use the telephone about every half hour to an hour and tell them that everything was all clear and that we were fine and in good shape with nothing happening.
Karl and I were sitting on two, five gallon cans of water. I had an M1 across my knees and to my right on the ground was a field telephone with a little crank and a handset. Karl was to my left. We were sitting there looking out across that plain where the grain field was and to our left on a rise about three feet up was the other terrace and to our right it sloped down again. At any rate, the others were sleeping, Neal Vincent among them. Karl said to me it's probably time to call in so as I started to reach for the telephone Karl noticed something and the first thing I heard was: "Don't look now; but there are 3 Japanese to our left, see if you can make them out."
I looked slowly over and out of the corner of my eye I could see three Japanese who pretty well blended into the night. They were standing there frozen because apparently they had blundered out onto us without knowing we were there. They were not sure what to do. I said to Karl, "I'm going to fire at them from my position so don't make any moves until I shoot".
I looked down and directed my M1 barrel at the center man and pulled the trigger. The first shot was a tracer that kind of blinded me; but I kept firing. Karl fired at the same time at all three and with that we woke up all the guys in the pup tents and they came storming out. Neal came out with his 12gauge shot gun. We heard the bullets from the Japs fire whistling over our heads, fortunately none of our guys were hit. The minute we started shooting the flares went up. I also called for flares on the field telephone and suddenly it was like day light with everything lit up. By this time everyone was shooting his weapons. We went up to the rise on the left and as we went up there we could see there were bushes in the way. In order not to conceal anybody hiding, Neal fired his 12 gauge shot gun and blew the bushes into pieces. We marched out there for several yards but couldn't see anybody. A few minutes later we heard machine gun fire over to our left apparently the three had run across that machine gun nest of ours and they were wiped out. They got all three of them. I checked with the machine gunner a little later who said one of the Japs, the middle one who was an officer had a sword. He had definitely been shot through the left shoulder so I assume to this day that I got him on the first round. I was proud of myself and of my aim.
I missed telling another story that happened about the time that I talked about Neal and Ken Smith, intercepting that Japanese soldier. It was in that same place where there was a village about a quarter or half mile from us consisting of a road going through the center with houses on both sides. The houses were built up a couple of feet on stilts. They all had thatched roofs and I was told to take a patrol of about 10 or 12 guys and check out the village to make sure it was unoccupied by anybody who was an enemy.
Off we went to check out the village walking on both sides of the road carrying our rifles. As we started getting close to the village we heard some firing going on up ahead and an explosion. We started to go up a little faster still being unaware of what might be going on. It turned out that there was a company of Marines ahead of us already going through the village. They had set one of the roofs on fire.
I walked into the first house on our right as we approached the village and there on the floor was a dead Japanese soldier and next to him was a woman clad in a beautiful kimono. The scene was a terrible sight and yet I couldn't take my eyes off of where there should have been a face. Black hair was spread on the floor with the scalp still in tact, no blood except the red part of the scalp on the inside; but everything else was blown away. I was shocked as it was a strange scene to see and very bizarre. I started to conjecture on what might have happened. Apparently these two had been hiding in the attic and probably had made some noise so our guys had opened fire up toward the attic. The woman had placed a grenade in her mouth and they both fell through the ceiling and were lying on the floor. To this day I wonder what caused this scene, whether they were lovers or man and wife, perhaps a Japanese soldier and an Okinawan wife, who knows, we'll never know. I felt a deep sadness for these two people as we left the village.
At this time the fighting had dropped off, the Japanese were defeated in this area, and we established a staging area where tents were set up in tent rows and we went back into a dreary existence waiting for the next thing to happen; but all was peaceful and kind of deadly we hadn't even gotten back into training it was a kind of a rest spot. The rumors were flying that the next campaign would be Japan and that this was going to be a really costly affair.
About this time I was notified, I think by Lt. Goff, that I was one of the guys selected to go home. I was happy about that and at the same time I was sad to leave my friends. Pearce and Garner, who were the Vaudeville actors came over one night and did a little show for us as a farewell. They made us laugh and we got a big kick out of them. I'm sorry that I never got to see them again where they might have been performing in real life.
One night when we were in bed, trying to go to sleep tossing and turning for about a half an hour a guy in the next tent went berserk. I guess he had a mental breakdown the whole time speaking out all kinds of mentally unstable stuff making no sense. We listened to him talking and ranting, obviously very upset, and soon a jeep came by and picked him up. He was probably sent home. We found out later that he was married and had been in combat before, was sent home to the states and then returned to the battle zone, so I would imagine he must have had a tough time.
I went around saying goodbye to my friends in the gun section. I started my packing and had to turn in some of the stuff issued to me. One of the items was a luminous watch, my carbine, a .45, and various other items. Several books in my Sea bag that I had gotten from the Book of the Month Club, I just passed out to friends and got ready to go home.
One day we were taken by truck out to a special staging area before going aboard ship. You could observe the Okinawan civilians now returning home. The women all wore kimonos and some had babies in their packs on their backs, their babies were rather cute. We had never really seen civilians close up and it was quite a sight to see young people and babies.
I also forgot to mention another incidents that took place about the time that we found that Japanese Quarter Master Depot. We were stationed there with our guns and one day a young Okinawan boy came over, couldn't speak English but he was standing around looking at our gun and kind of looking like he wanted company or something. Several of us, including me, gave him a chocolate bar out of our C ration can. He seemed to be very happy about it. He started to come back often and I went over to Lt Goff who had a book of phonetic Okinawan, and I asked to borrowed it, so for several days when the boy would come around I would ask him questions with the help of the book I'd ask about the bombing raids etc., and he would shake his head or say Yes or No in Okinawan. It was interesting.
