FlightAware Flight Tracking
Important news before you travel:
If you live in the United States you should be aware of certain Travel Advisories which are given to citizens who choose to travel abroad. These advisories can affect you and may even change your travel plans. So before you go to the airport you should always check to see if your destination country is on the List of the United States Government Travel Advisories.
For more information
: Check out the link below which will send you to the US Governments official website.
To make your way to a flight on time and to get through security as quickly as possible you can try the following tips:
1) Sign up. The TSA's PreCheck, a trusted traveler program, has spread to more cities across the U.S. and is now available at some 40 airports. Members of the program are pre-screened and can then whiz through security, sometimes without having to take off their shoes or remove laptops from cases. The U.S. Customs Department's Global Entry program is another shortcut for frequent international travelers, especially as the federal government contracts and customs lines potentially get longer.
Critical Security Checkpoints:
To make clearing security as easy as possible...
-Review the guidelines for liquids and gels on your Flight carriers Carry-On Baggage page before your flight.
-Have your government-issued photo identification and boarding pass ready for inspection.
-Wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off, since all footwear must be x-rayed.
-Remember to place all coats and jackets in a bin for x-ray screening.
-Make your laptop easily accessible for inspection.
-Avoid wearing anything metal or place these items in your carry-on baggage for screening
2) Check flight status. Although this is obvious, many people often fail to do this one simple but critical thing.
I recommend doing the same before abandoning your ride or your car just before you head to the terminal; flight status updates change by the minute, so a last-second check is always a good idea.
Most airlines will text you flight status updates if you sign up on their Web sites, and sites like Flightaware.com do the same by text, on the Web and through smartphone apps.
4) Check in online. Especially if you are not checking bags, this can save you a heap of time. I have found that when checking bags, having the pre-printed boarding pass in your hand doesn't help all that much, and check-in agents often reissue another boarding pass when you check in your bags -- but it sure doesn't hurt.
5) Before you leave for the airport, put your ID, credit card and boarding pass (if applicable) in an easily accessible part of your wallet or bag. There are two reasons for this: one, by going through this exercise, you make sure that you don't leave home without these crucial items. Two, you don't waste your (and other people's) time fumbling around for them at the moment you need them.
Check the airport parking situation online. Knowing ahead of time where to park, which lots are open and how far they are from the terminal can save you a lot of anxiety on your drive in, as well as keep you safer as you navigate tortuous and almost always poorly marked airport ring roads. Additionally, during peak travel periods, lots fill up quickly, so you will want an alternate parking plan.
When you are ready to board always take inventory of what you will need to do when you get to the front of the security line. Do a quick mental review of everything you are wearing that you will need to remove (such as shoes, jewelry, watch, jacket), and what you have inside your carry-on bag that might need to be taken out (liquids, electronics). When you get to the front of the line, blast through your mental inventory and make it happen. Done well, you can go from fully clad for winter weather, with laptops and iPads in your bag, to a T-shirt, pants and socks, and all your sensitive electronics in their own bins, in seconds.
Using these tips will get you through the airport, on your flight and towards your destination as quickly as possible.
more traveler informaiton tips available at the TSA website:
When traveling for business or fun, there's nothing worse than thinking you have a reservation and learning your hotel reservations been lost, your room has one bed and not two bedrooms, or you thought your check-in time was noon, only to find out it is really 3:00pm. To help avoid these things from happening, there are a few helpful hotel reservation tips seasoned travelers recommend:
Always use a credit card when making a hotel reservation. Using a credit card offers the guest some level of protection should the hotel stay go awry. Any disputes a guest may have with the hotel, or with the billing can more easily be rectified through the credit card company. The card company will act as a mediator once their client can show effort to resolve the dispute. Additionally, if a dispute cannot be resolved, the credit card company has the authority to remove the charge from a client's bill. If cash were paid, a hotel guest would have no recourse.
Note: If you don't use your own credit card to secure a reservation, be aware that the person whose name is on the card will be responsible for showing the card and signing at check in. If the card does not belong to the person staying at the hotel, notify the desk before leaving home (prior to arrival) and ask what their identification procedure is. They may accept a letter from the credit card holder authorizing use, and a copy of both the front and back of the card.
Ask for deals/discounts at each hotel. Many hotels offer corporate, AAA, senior, or even mid-week/off-season discounts. If one is not offered - ask about them. Many hotels now offer 'rewards' programs and some hotels reduce rates by $50 or more, for simply signing up for their program. If making reservations online, look for internet-only rates and shop various websites to find the best deals. Travel agents can often secure unadvertised specials or late check-in opportunities which can translate into huge savings.
When making reservations speak clearly and repeat spelling of all names. There have been many reservations lost because of inaccurate spelling and guests have been told they did not have rooms when a hotel or an entire city was booked to capacity. If any special requests are made, verify them and if possible get them in writing. Also make sure to get the name of the employee. Verify everything spell names and verify information/requests etc. Double check reservations prior to leaving for hotel and make sure names of all hotel employees you've spoken to are taken.
When reservations are made, changed and cancelled-confirmation numbers are given. Make sure all numbers are kept in a safe place until credit cards are billed and all charges are verified. Cancellation and confirmation numbers are often the difference between being charged for a hotel reservation that was cancelled, the possibility of a free upgrade when the hotel overbooks and you can prove when your reservation was made, and being stranded away from home without a room for the night.
Discuss hotel policies prior to making reservations, and verify them at check-in. Some hotels require credit cards at check in for any hotel charges, such as telephone usage, room service, meals in the hotel, or even take -out arranged through the hotel with area restaurants, etc. If a credit card is not available, a cash/check deposit maybe required for any services/fees that may accrue during the hotel stay. Determine when check-in/check-out times are, when cancellation policies go into affect and verify occupancy limits if staying in a room with multiple occupants.
Remember these hotel reservation tips when scheduling your travel plans. Whether by internet, through a travel agent, or by telephone, it pays to research the hotel and be meticulous when making arrangements. A little pre-planning when making reservations can save major headaches when traveling away from home.

Screens Get a Place at the Table
Restaurants Try to Make It Easier to Pay, Keep Kids Entertained; Bigger Tips for Electronic Waiters?
The appetizer order is promptly taken. The check is presented and processed the moment you are ready to pay. The children are entertained throughout the meal. But it isn't the waiter you have to thank for this efficient dining experience.
of diners would use an electronic payment system
are likely or very likely to use screens with games or Internet access on tables
Source: Technomic Inc., National Restaurant Association
A growing number of restaurants including Chili's Grill & Bar , Applebee's, and Chevys Fresh Mex are using or testing small, interactive computer screens at the table. Diners can see glossy pictures of food, order menu items, and pay a check without a waiter.
Some of the devices also offer videogames, often for a fee, movie trailers, and news articles. Some have advertising; many plan to add it. Device makers hope to charge liquor companies for ads and retailers for coupons.
For couples and families, restaurant meals, once a place for leisurely conversation, have become just another time to be glued to email and games. "Restaurants are faced with either being outside of that communication and just allowing it all to take place on guests' phones or they can be part of that," says Austen Mulinder, president and chief executive of TableTop Media, which makes the Ziosk, a device that lets diners order, pay and play games. Chili's franchisees are using the Ziosk in more than 100 restaurants. Applebee's is testing it.
The technologies promise to address a long-standing diner complaint: Paying the bill is a hassle. "When you are ready, that five minutes waiting for the credit-card transaction feels like 20," says Jay Johns, vice president of strategy implementation at Applebee's. Since late last year Applebee's has tested three types of screens—the Ziosk, Presto, and eTab—at 13 restaurants across the U.S. The devices let diners swipe their credit card at the table and email themselves a receipt. Some print a receipt at the table.
The entertainment features have been a hit, says Don Schuck, director of IT for the U.S. division of AmRest, a franchisee that owns 102 Applebee's restaurants in the U.S. and is planning to test three of the devices in its Columbus, Ga., locations. Initially "we thought 'who is going to want to do that?' Surprisingly, quite a few." Some restaurants charge a fee, usually about $1, to use games. Diners have the option of removing the free-standing devices, restaurants say. Seven out of 10 diners at a table with the Ziosk choose to use it, the company says, adding that Ziosk is in hundreds of restaurants.
Dinner Bells, Whistles
Restaurants are trying various types of tabletop devices for ordering, check-paying, or entertainment.
During monthly visits to her local Chili's, Kimberly Nasief-Westergren turns the Ziosk screen away from her 11-month-old son and 3-year-old daughter. "We want to engage her in a conversation," says the 38-year-old president of a consumer research firm who lives in Louisville, Ky. Her son is drawn in by "the flashing lights. He wants to grab at it and put it in his mouth," she says. That said, she says she's interested in the idea of paying her bill with the screen.
"The only difficulty is the kids fighting over it," says Lynn Mahoney, of the Ziosk device at her local Uno Chicago Grill. The 43-year-old who operates a coupon blog from Wrentham, Mass., says her three children play games on the machine while waiting for food, then put it away. The adults "get a couple of minutes to talk without them saying 'Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.' "
Casual dining chains are the main target for these devices. Some higher-end restaurants have chosen to use iPads to show menus or wine lists. Most device makers charge restaurants a monthly fee.
So far, even midtier restaurants mostly have resisted letting people order everything on the menu from a machine because they want to preserve the personalized service that diners get from interacting with waiters. Instead they are focusing on high-margin items like drinks and desserts.
The "upsell" is a big feature of the product, says Terry Bader, vice president of marketing and strategy for eTab International Inc., which makes one of the devices being tested by Applebee's. "We can prompt consumers at the table with a message, 'Hey, how about another round of drinks?' " says Mr. Bader. At Chevys, which is testing the Ziosk in 12 of its 60 U.S. locations, the device shows dessert photos around 20 minutes after the time a waiter comes to the table.
Dessert orders are about 30% higher than before restaurants used the Ziosk, says Mike Bova, senior vice president of operations for ERJ Dining, a Chili's franchise with 122 restaurants that have used the Ziosk since 2010. Brinker International Inc. which owns the Chili's brand, says all of the Ziosks in use are operated by franchise partners.
Rather than a table device, T.G.I. Friday's last month launched a free cellphone app for diners. It shows users the menu at their local Friday's, offers discounts and can be used to pay the bill. Using technology from Tabbedout, diners enter their credit-card information into the app, which links with the restaurant's computer system when on site. The app doesn't take food orders because "that is a human interaction that at this point we don't want to lose," says Trey Hall, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for the company.
Pay-at-the-table systems make low tippers more generous, restaurants say. The systems are designed to suggest a tip amount, say 20%, letting users adjust up or down.
Tips are above average when people use T.G.I. Friday's app to pay, says Mr. Hall. The app suggests an 18% tip. More than 90% of restaurant diners choose the predetermined tip on Viableware's device, a pay-at-the-table device that looks like a traditional black bill holder, the company says.
P.F. Chang's China Bistro plans to test the device. Like tabletop machines it lets users divide up the bill, add a tip, swipe a credit card, and email themselves a receipt. It doesn't offer entertainment. "The dining experience is the entertainment experience and we don't want to clutter that," says Steve Stoddard, president of Viableware, the device maker.
Lights on some machines signal to waiters if a patron is paying or needs help.
At Chevys in New York's Times Square after two weeks of using a Ziosk, Teri Hurst, a waitress is careful to turn the machine away from children while explaining the gaming options to parents, just as she would while explaining dessert options. "I call them apps, not games," says the 37-year-old. Playing games cost 99 cents at Chevys. Enough people play that the games have become a profit source for the Times Square restaurant, says general manager Mike Alasaad.
Earlier this year Texas Roadhouse , the second largest steakhouse chain in the U.S. after Outback Steakhouse, tested the Ziosk to see "if we could cut some time off the table turn," says Travis Doster, a spokesman, using the industry term for time spent at a table. Waiters found recharging the machines bothersome and the devices hogged space on tables already "busy with peanut buckets and bread baskets and all," he says. Table turn decreased slightly, but the company doesn't plan to offer the device, he says.

The following biographical introduction to Drury comes from pages 109-114 of Marion Harry Spielmann's British Sculpture and Sculptors of Today (1901).
Mr. Drury is among the most personal of our sculptors, always in search of the graceful, the tender, the placid, and the harmonious, caring nothing for the vigour of energy, for passion, or for anatomical display with which many love to express their enthusiasm or to display their knowledge. As a lad he was a choir boy at New College, Oxford; then, prompted by the sight of Chantrey's works, he attended the Art Schools in that city, and afterwards the National Art Training School, where he came under the influence of Jules Dalou, at that time the modelling master, as already explained. The young sculptor showed so much technical ability, while displaying a mind at once imaginative and elastic, that when M. Dalou profited by the political amnesty which permitted him to return to Paris he took his young pupil with him as assistant and kept him in his studio for four years. The master instructed him in all the practices and devices ot his art, and Mr. Drury was enabled to gain skill while helping with the famous relief of "Mirabeau" and the still more celebrated group of "The Triumph of the Republic," completed and set up but recently in the City of Paris.
It was in 1885 that he sent his first contribution to the Royal Academy — the group called "The Triumph of Silenus." This clever work, wisely modelled in terra-cotta — for such material the subject and the character inspires — gives far too close an imitation, if that be not too hard a word, of the master's style. Returning to England, he, like Mr. Alfred Gilbert and Mr. Lanteri, became assistant to Sir Edgar Boehm, whose good fortune in securing the seryices of able young men was always remarkable.
Working for himself, he quickly threw off the gentle foreign yoke that was upon him and soon made his mark. In 1886 he exhibited busts, of which that of "Mr. James Isham" struck the note of quiet dignity and simplicity and clearness of presentation which has developed since. In 1888 he showed two ideal figures — "The Genius of Sculpture" and "II Penseroso;" in 1889 "A Gipsy Maiden," at the New Gallery; and at the Royal Academy busts of "Madame Nordica" and "Mr. S. S. Cohen," and an ideal work called "The First Reflexion," which, exhibited later at Dresden, was acquired by the Queen of Saxony. "The Evening Prayer," a most charming figure which was exhibited in 1800, was bought for the Manchester Corporation Gallery. "Echo" appeared in 1891, and in 1892 "Harmony," an ideal female nude singing as she plays the violincello, very clever, but not in the purely sculptural sentiment as other works which preceded and which haye come after it.
Left to right: Two versions of Circe. and St. Agnes
"Circe," in plaster, followed in 1893, and in 1894 in bronze. This statue achieved a great popular success, which it repeated at the International Exhibitions both of Brussels and Paris, when it was duly "medalled." It was acquired by the City Art Gallery of Leeds. Felicitous as it is in line and arrangement, pleasing in its grace, and good in its modelling, this work was soon to be surpassed by the sculptor in that solidity which is so desirable a quality, and which is seen, for example, in the "Even," shortly to be cited. The bronze head of "St. Agnes," executed in the same year, and bought for the same gallery, is one of the first examples of Mr. Drury's newly found style — a head of great beauty and charm, belonging to that higher order of conception which, generally speaking, he has since maintained.
Left to right: (a), (b), and (c) Three versions of Griselda. (d) and (e) Two versions of The Age of Innocence
"The Sacrifice of Isaac" is a panel in high relief, interesting mainly for its technical qualities and for the glimpse it afforded of a new side to the sculptor's art. Then, in 1896, came the head called "Griselda," in the spirit of the "St. Agnes" — an exquisite study of childhood, fine as sculpture, elegant and beautiful as decoration. It was bought at once for the Chantrey Collection. "The Age of Innocence," exhibited at the Academy in the following year, repeated the success of the other, and still further heightened the public appreciation of Mr. Drury's talent. So widely was it appreciated that when the bust was "published " in a small size a very considerable number were bought up at once.
Left to right: (a) Even[ing]. and (b) Plaster version of both Even[ing] and Morning (c) Morning (bronze version) and two versions of My Little Duchess, the first in bronze the second in plaster.
About this time a great scheme for the decoration of the City Square at Leeds was the result of the munificence of a private citizen. To Mr. Brock, as has been stated, was accorded the great central figure. To Mr. Drury and others, statues of Leeds worthies were confided; accordingly the statue of Joseph Priestley was modelled — it was seen at the Academy in 1899. The electric standards around were also commissioned from Mr. Drury. For these he designed the colossal figure exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1898 under the title of "Even," so that a set of standards, unique in England, might light the square like the figures that decorate the pillars round the Paris Opera House. The calmly decorative, half-length, called "The Prophetess of Fate," belongs to 1900, together with "The Little Duchess," a marble profile of the same pretty child, or another closely resembling her, whom we saw in "The Age of Innocence." The treatment of flesh, hair, and neck could hardly be more admirable in this ably treated relief.
Mr. Drury had done meanwhile a great amount of decorative sculpture for architectural embellishment — a purpose to which his quiet, contemplative art lends itself to perfection. A good deal of it is in terra-cotta, such as the spandrils of "Art and Design" and others for a coachmaker's premises in Hanunersmith. He has, moreover, executed far more important works in scheme and elaboration. Among them are the twelve charming heads, representing the months, set up on pedestals on the terrace at Barrow Court. It may perhaps the added that, like Mr. Onslow Ford, Mr. Drury has also contributed oil paintings to the Royal Academy.
As a manipulator of clay Mr. Drury possibly stands first among the English sculptors of the day, an art he gained from his long aprenticeship with M. Dalou. So great was this influence, indeed, that on his return to England Mr. Drury did not for some while gratify his critics by adopting a style unmistakably his own. But it is wholly from himself that he has given us the most charming examples of his art. Retaining all his cleverness of technique at his fingers' ends, he cut adrift in due time from the subjects and treatment he had first adopted, and evolved something more English, abandoning the fat Rubensesque figures for his own less fleshy and more beautiful types of the nude. As has been said, his charming ideal busts, "The Age of Innocence" and "Griselda," are both performances of a very high order, possessing much sweetness in feeling and design. Mr. Drury's work always shows that he has well considered the material in which it is to be carried out; if it is for stone, the treatment is stony; if for metal, metallic. In portraiture he is very good, and is said to model a head in the shortest time in the most dexterous way. He is, in fact, an extremely clever modeller, and always refined. Occasionally, in unimportant work, he may be found a little summary; but not in his best productions. As a designer he is not on quite so high a plane, for he is not in the full sense creative; the reason being, perhaps, that he is not quite so much a thinker as an observer.

The Best Thing Ever for an Outdoor Party? Beer and Wine Gutter Picnic Tables
Forget clunky plastic coolers: this is the way to keep drinks cool at your next summer soirée!
Combining two summer staples — a picnic table and drink cooler — into one smart design seems like a runaway summer hit to us! And that's just what Bobby Clark of Picnic Tables of Houston, the maker of the beer gutter picnic tables you see here, is banking on. "It's just something I decided to do," he tells Coastal Magazine in this interview. "And now I've got so many tables to do that I can't even go fishing!"
While he makes regular picnic tables, his specialty is his beer gutter table, which features an galvanized steel gutter running down the center of the table — deep enough to fill with ice, and long enough to hold up to 32 beers. (That's for the eight-foot table. You can choose between six, eight, ten, or twelve-foot tables, ranging in price from $185 - $300.) Each gutter also has a built-in drain for pouring off melted ice.
Of course, they're not just for beers, despite the name. Use it to chill wine or any other beverage you want on ice! And on non-party days, the gutter makes a decent centerpiece for flowers or herbs.
Get your own gutter table here → Picnic Tables of Houston. Prices range from $185 - $300.
We're totally sold on these! How about you?

I-70 to close both directions for 20 minutes in Glenwood Springs
April 8, 2013
Interstate 70 will close completely in both directions from 11 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. Tuesday while crews are relocating an overhead electrical wire near Exit 116 at Glenwood Springs, west of Summit County, according to a statement from Colorado Department of Transportation.
A single lane will be closed in each direction in the same area from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the same day. Just before 11 a.m. a flagger will bring traffic to a stop.
The closure will allow crews to move an electrical wire being supported by a roadway light. The roadway light is schedule to be moved at a later date as part of an ongoing CDOT maintenance project.

Ianus wrote:If the Classics were nurtured, instead of ignored, perhaps we may be able to return to a virtuous and enlightened age.
Ianus wrote:Here in Australia, I'm of a rare breed. Classics and renaissance literature are dying, ever so slowly. At Melbourne University for example, many Renaissance Literature courses are being replaced with 'pop-culture' courses on Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Desperate Housewives, to give some examples.
I mean, come on, Buffy the Vampire Slayer???
In fact, at my high school I'm considered strange because I read Ovid!
Señor Boethius wrote:As for schools dumbing down their curriculum, this has been going on for a long time. The idea that students should choose their own classes is a great misfortune; schools treat students like customers instead of students. Harvard started the fad back in the early 1900's, I believe, and other schools followed. If given a choice, what 18 year old would choose Ovid over Buffy? (Present Textkitters excluded, of course).
the Classics are something which must be approached, not something which can be imposed upon somebody
I am wary of somebody who does not know me well giving me an exact prescription for what I study. Something deep inside me resists being put dispassionately into an educational formula, to be processed in some standardized education machine.
Señor Boethius wrote: I think a college like St. John's is ideal for a liberal arts education.
Señor Boethius wrote:Imagine a school where the students start learning Latin, Greek, math, and geography from a very young age. Imagine those students having a sequential curriculum that taught them history and literature and science so they could actually see how everything relates to each other. Imagine students in high school reading Homer and Plato in Greek and Ovid and Seneca in Latin. This has happened in the past for a few lucky individuals. Imagine, GlottalGreekGeek, other students taking Greek with you and a teacher competent to teach it. Perhaps this is a dream, but if done correctly, it would be an amazing liberal arts education. If done incorrectly, it would be the nightmare that you fear.

STOCKTON - County officials voted to raise rates charged by ambulances in the southeastern reaches of San Joaquin County to bring the rates in line when ambulances respond to medical emergencies elsewhere in the county.
STOCKTON - County officials voted to raise rates charged by ambulances in the southeastern reaches of San Joaquin County to bring the rates in line when ambulances respond to medical emergencies elsewhere in the county.
On Tuesday, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors voted to raise the rates ambulances can charge in and around the cities of Manteca, Ripon and Escalon.
It has been at least four years since the three ambulance providers in each of those three areas have adjusted rates, according to county Emergency Medical Services. The shifts put almost all those areas in line with rates charged by American Medical Response for Stockton, Lodi, Tracy and the rest of the county.
For the most part, the rates set in the county are what is paid by insurance providers, and all ambulance providers are required to have "hardship" policies for people who don't have private insurance or access to government programs paying for health care costs, said county EMS Administrator Dan Burch.
"The rate can be substantially reduced or waived," he said.
But those rates charged to insurance companies can keep ambulance services economically viable.
San Joaquin County is divided into six zones wherein one ambulance provider has an exclusive agreement to provide emergency ambulance services. Rates were set for the three zones around Stockton, Tracy and Lodi when the county renewed its agreement with AMR last year that extended by five years the contract the company won in a competitive bidding process. The area accounts for roughly 85 percent of medical calls in the county.
The Manteca, Ripon and Escalon areas were not part of the competitive bidding process.
The old rate for Manteca, Ripon and Escalon is $1,365 for a call when advanced life-saving procedures are used and $29 per mile for transportation. New rates in Manteca and Ripon rise to what is now the county norm, $1,896 per call and $40 per mile.
Escalon rates rise to $2,300 and $47 per mile.
"Escalon has challenges ahead to make that zone viable," Burch said before the board voted 4-0 to approve the changes.
Escalon Community Ambulance is the nonprofit organization servicing the area. It is ending a long-standing partnership with the Oak Valley Hospital District.
Manteca District Ambulance is the nonprofit organization in Manteca. Ripon's ambulance service is provided through the Ripon Consolidated Fire District.

Wasn't there a vintage boxed set released in 97 or so that pissed off many vinty collectors? I understand your post Justin, but there's many of us out there that haven't delved into picking up a vintage line so this is a wonderful opportunity for us. Look at Transformers and all their reissues over the years. All the vinty stuff lost value, but do I care? No. I'm just glad to have certain pieces in my collection. Slap in the face? Yes - and I can understand that people like you (vinty collector) would be pissed about stuff like this who spent all the time and $. What was the answer to a question posed to Hasbro at Toy Fair? - Do you make toys or collectibles?Toys (i think was the answer)
If a re-release of the vintage molds primarily just appeals to collectors and a fair amount of them would be upset by the move, there doesn't seem to be a lot of opportunity for success.

PORTLAND, Ore. – December 10, 2012 – adidas today announced a partnership with one of the world's largest and most successful youth soccer clubs, Rush Soccer. As the global leader in soccer and official apparel and accessories provider of Rush, adidas will outfit service all 27 Rush Soccer clubs in the US in the latest cutting-edge soccer uniforms and gear and provide opportunities for coaches and players to develop their skills through international and national competitions and clinics.
"Our partnership with Rush Soccer provides a great opportunity for adidas to help top young athletes in the United States grow and develop their soccer skills," said Antonio Zea, director of soccer for adidas America. "We share a long-term vision with Rush Soccer to ensure our homegrown athletes have viable opportunities to play soccer at the highest level and to foster the next generation of American soccer stars."
Through the adidas partnership, Rush coaches will participate in coaching education courses at the Real Madrid Youth Academy and Rush Select teams will travel overseas to compete against the best international talent through the adidas International Travel Program. adidas will support Rush Soccer's R.E.A.C.H. program, which provides uniforms and equipment to disadvantaged youth in developing countries to develop youth soccer skills and promote health and education.
"I am very pleased to announce our formal agreement with adidas," said Jerome de Bontin, Chairman of Rush Soccer. "It really makes perfect sense to partner with the leader in the world of soccer and the company that invests so much in player development in the USA. Our priority in selecting a manufacturer was to identify a company that could provide an affordable, quality uniform delivered in a timely fashion to our player pool of 32,000 and that shared the same vision for the growth and development of soccer in North America. We are confident adidas will deliver on all fronts and is the right partner for Rush Soccer."
Founded in 2002, Rush Soccer has grown from one club in the Denver suburbs in to the largest youth soccer programs in the world with 27 clubs across 26 states in the US, more than 32,000 competitive and recreational youth players nationwide and nearly 6,000 youth soccer players internationally.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Mike Fisher didn't let this tie last very long.
Fisher scored his second goal of the game with 26.4 seconds left—right after Los Angeles got even—to give the Nashville Predators a 3-2 victory over the Kings on Saturday night.
Fisher also assisted on Patrick Hornqvist's first-period goal for Nashville, which snapped a five-game losing streak. Anze Kopitar and Jeff Carter scored for the Kings, who have lost two straight.
The teams combined for three goals in the final 3:18.
Fisher put Nashville ahead 2-1 with 3:18 left during a power play, scoring with a slap shot from the high slot that beat goalie Ben Scrivens low to the stick side.
Nashville has at least one man-advantage goal in seven of eight games.
Carter tied it with only 36.7 seconds to go after Scrivens was pulled for the extra attacker.
But Fisher put the Predators back in front 10 seconds later when his shot from the left side just made it over the goal line.
"Colin (Wilson) made a great play trying to take the puck to the net, and I was just trying to find a hole," Fisher said. "He found me in a great spot, and it just trickled through the goalie."
Fisher led Nashville's forwards with 21 minutes, 58 seconds of ice time.
Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter wasn't happy that his team allowed Fisher to get a shot off that close to the net.
"Bad coverage on our part," he said.
The goal was upheld by a video review.
"From where I was, I didn't think it completely crossed, but the video has a better vantage point, and they can zoom in," Scrivens said. "A guy broke down the wall and threw it in front. They were able to get a stick on it and direct it on net.
"I got a large chunk, but not enough. It's an extremely frustrating way to lose a hockey game."
Hornqvist had given the Predators a 1-0 lead with 5:18 left in the first.
Scrivens stopped Fisher's shot from the high slot, but Hornqvist—who was standing just outside the crease—backhanded in the rebound for his eighth goal.
Hornqvist hadn't scored a goal in six games.
Kopitar then tied it at 7:05 of the second.
With the Kings on a power play, Kopitar skated to the top of the right circle and beat goalie Marek Mazanec with a wrist shot that was tucked just inside the far post.
Los Angeles hadn't scored on the power play in its previous five games.
Mazanec finished with 26 saves and earned his first win since Nov. 27.
"He made some timely saves when we needed him to and he was calm back there," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "From our standpoint, it was a combination of solid goaltending and a desperate competitive team going against a fresh, veteran team."
Shea Weber led Nashville in ice time with 29:52 and posted an assist.
"This was a huge game for us," Weber said. "We have been on a tough stretch this past year, but hopefully we can get it right now."
NOTES: Kopitar has a three-game point streak. … The Kings have allowed at least one power-play goal in three consecutive games. … It was Fisher's first two-goal game of the season. … Nashville rookie D Seth Jones had two assists for his first multipoint game in the NHL.

Chicken is the most featured protein on sandwiches and wraps, at 83 percent and 80 percent respectively, according to recent research by Food Genius, a leading provider of research and insight solutions to the food industry. "The State of Sandwiches & Wraps" research report published in Food Genius' Industry Research Library also shows that wraps are offered at 27 percent of operator locations nationwide. The sandwich research analysis was compiled from the most recent quarter of Food Genius Reports data, a platform consisting of over 100,000 unique menus, covering 33 million items currently offered at over 314,000 locations, existing in the Food Genius Reports Dashboard Product.
The research found that after chicken, pork is the second most featured protein in sandwiches and wraps. Mustard, both honey and Dijon varieties, is only the third leading sauce found in sandwiches and wraps. A diverse set of bread types are prominently featured in traditional sandwich menu items, including buns, Kaiser, hoagie, and French rolls. Pita, ciabatta, and focaccia bread represent the specialty and flat breads most commonly found in sandwiches.
"Nontraditional bread types are becoming more of a focus on sandwich items," says Benjamin Stanley, VP of product at Food Genius. "We expect to see more operators utilizing creative bread options in 2014; pretzel breads and focaccias will continue to be big movers."
Sandwiches and wraps represent a diversity of menu applications, preparation methods, and ingredient combinations. This research is just a sample of the key findings from the November 2013 analysis of sandwich and wrap menu data from Food Genius Reports.

Engaged Faculty and Engaged Student Mini-Grant Program (2014/2015)
Kansas Campus Compact is excited to announce two mini-grant opportunities. The deadline to apply for both is May 10, 2014.
For more information on how to apply, click on the appropriate RFP:
Faculty applicants can use funds for any combination of three areas:
1. Research: Applicant can request summer salary support needed to develop a research project to enhance and advance the field of service-learning and community engagement. The outcome of this research will be a publishable paper for a peer-reviewed publication.
2. Development: Faculty can utilize funds to travel to and attend or present at a conference to enhance their understanding of service-learning or civic engagement.
3. On-campus visibility: Faculty member will serve as a champion on their campus for the advancement of engaged research and teaching. Funds should be used primarily to hold an event on campus that includes an outside expert/speaker being brought your campus to discuss service-learning or civic engagement.
Participants will be students who are looking for opportunities to take leadership for a community-designated project, bringing creative solutions to public problems. The project aims to empower young people and reinvigorate their communities by requiring students to create and implement an action to increase participatory citizenship on their campus. Participation will reinforce each individual's personal commitment to civic engagement, while also strengthening campus and community support.
Each participant is to select a project from one of three tracks:
- K-12 education
- Sustainability
- Hunger/homelessness

Little brain cramps can have big repercussions.
We've all had them - massive brain cramps that seemed to flash a green light for us to do or say something, which at the time seemed appropriate or maybe downright hilarious, until we had a few moments to reflect on our actions or words.
If we're lucky, the ramifications of our statement or deed can be erased with profuse groveling to the offended person(s). However, sometimes apologies, regardless of how sincere they might be, just aren't enough. With all that said I would like to introduce you to Lindsey Stone, a non-profit employee in Massachusetts.
Stone finds herself in the eye of a very public "storm" that resulted because of a couple of hefty cerebral spasms that she recently suffered.
Cramp No. 1 happened in October, while on a work-related trip. Stone and at least one of her co-workers made a trip to the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C. While there, Stone posed for a photo that shows her apparently shouting and flipping off a sign that asks for "Silence and Respect" at the tomb.
Cramp No. 2 was Stone thinking it would be a hoot to post that photo on her Facebook page.
While Stone might have intended for her photo to be an inside joke among friends, apparently not everyone who has seen the image appreciates her sense of humor. Thousands of people were offended by the tomb photo. In fact, according to ABC News, a Facebook page has been created entitled, "Fire Lindsey Stone." That page, created only last week, has already collected over 18,000 "likes" from people in cyberspace.
Stone's actions have not just made her a target for Internet scorn. Her employer, Living Independently Forever (LIFE, Inc.) has placed her on unpaid leave pending an internal investigation.
Is LIFE out of line for its reaction? Apparently not.
Everyone here at the Courier-Post, and at other Gatehouse properties, recently completed mandatory training. One of the points that was made is that a Gatehouse employee can be punished for his or her actions, even if done away from work, if it reflects negatively upon the company.
I'm assuming other local companies have similar policies, based on the number of phone calls I've fielded over the years from people pleading to not put their DUI in the paper because their employer might see it.
In the wake of her brain cramp Stone has offered excuses for her actions. After seeing negative posts on her Facebook page, Stone wrote that in the photo she was just "challenging authority in general," citing a previous posting of her smoking next to a "no smoking" sign.
"OBVIOUSLY we meant NO disrespect to people that serve or have served our country," wrote Stone.
It would be understandable if every veteran, and their family, was offended by Stone's actions, particularly in clans where loved ones were killed while serving their country.
According to ABC News, Robert Johnson, an army veteran and military and defense editor at an Internet news site, has taken the high road in regard to Stone's actions.
"…If Lindsey Stone wants to rip on the Tomb of the Unknowns, me, my service, or the hundreds of mutilated troops I served with at Walter Reed Medical Center, she should be able to do so without fear of retribution," Johnson wrote. "Freedom like that is what we fought for, and respecting other opinions is part of what the military tried to teach all of us who served."
Everyone suffers from brain cramps from time to time. Smart souls recognize how foolish their words and/or deeds are before they become public. For those who are more impetuous, one can only hope they learn a valuable life lesson without causing others, and themselves, too much heartache.

(Felix Salmon is a Reuters columnist but his opinions are his own. )
By Felix Salmon
Today's earnings report marks the point at which Apple is officially no longer a high-growth tech stock, valued on its monster potential. Instead, it has become a cash cow, valued on its ability to pump hundreds of billions of dollars into its shareholders' pockets.
That's the main lesson from the big news of the day, which is that Apple is going to return $100 billion to its shareholders by the end of 2015. By comparison, Apple closed Tuesday with a market capitalization of $380 billion. And its $145 billion cash pile isn't going to get any smaller: the newly-announced program merely brings its dividend and share-repurchase expenditures up to roughly the level of its current free cash flow. Apple will still have more than enough money to invest as much money as it likes in anything it likes, even its new headquarters.
Apple says that its new capital-return scheme "translates to an average rate of $30 billion per year from the time of the first dividend payment in August 2012 through December 2015?; it's pretty hard to imagine that number falling thereafter. If you assume fungibility of dividends and share repurchases, then you can express that number as an effective dividend yield: a $30 billion dividend, divided by a $400 billion market cap, works out to a yield of a whopping 7.5%. No wonder the stock market is welcoming the news.
In order to be able to continue to return $30 billion per year to shareholders in perpetuity, Apple is going to have to become a more conservative and predictable organization than it has been until now. Which brings me to the chart that Jay Yarow published yesterday:
As Yarow says, this chart shows the effects of Apple's stated intention to be more realistic about its earnings guidance. And today's earnings continued the pattern: EPS beat guidance by 7%, while revenues beat by 4%. Those numbers are decidedly modest compared to the kind of beats we saw in 2010-11.
But at the same time, we're also seeing the law of large numbers in this data. Let me present Yarow's revenue data in a slightly different way, adding in today's latest datapoint:
It's pretty clear that the massive beats, here, took place at times of massive growth: all corporate numbers are hard to predict, even internally, when they're growing at 73% a year, like Apple's revenues did in 2011. This quarter's revenues are still substantially higher than the same quarter's last year: they're up 11%. But earnings per share are actually down by 18% from the same quarter last year, and when you're a manufacturer making $10 billion a quarter on revenues of more than $40 billion, and when you're as ruthlessly efficient as Apple is, you're not likely to have a lot of big surprises any more.
Apple is trading at an astonishingly low valuation, with a p/e ratio in single digits, because it has now become that animal investors like least: a slow-growing tech stock. Either one is fine on its own, and both slow-growing stocks and fast-growing tech stocks can support much higher multiples than Apple is seeing right now. But conservative investors, who like slow-growing stocks with high dividends, are constitutionally uncomfortable with the volatility inherent in the tech world. And technology investors, who are happy taking that kind of risk, want to see substantial growth. Apple, notwithstanding the fact that it's one of the most valuable companies in the world, is falling through the capital-markets cracks.
All of which perhaps explains the other part of today's announcement: that Apple is going to start leveraging itself, and taking on debt. Apple's debt will provide a safe low-yielding investment for conservative investors; and while it will increase the earnings volatility seen by shareholders, the fact is that Apple clearly hasn't seen any valuation benefit from seeing its earnings volatility come down, so it might as well artificially bring it back up again. If its current capital structure is attractive to no one, maybe its new capital structure will have something for everyone.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The Birmingham-Southern volleyball team defeated both Susquehanna University and Berry College, Saturday in the BSC Fall Invitational.
The Panthers move to 18-16 with the two wins, and have now won six straight matches.
BSC defeated Susquehanna in three sets by the scores of 25-21, 25-13, and 25-23. Junior Shelby Moore led all players with 17 kills and hit .419, while sophomore Alex Bothe posted a double-double with 14 kills and 11 digs. Junior setter Lauren Reibe also had a double-double with 40 assists and 10 digs, and junior libero Presley Dickson led with 15 digs. Senior Hope Harris also reached double digits with 11 digs. Senior Alaina Smith led at the net with three blocks.
Against Berry this evening, the Panthers hosted their inaugural "Panther Pink" night, teaming up with Dig Pink, a national intiative to raise breast cancer awareness. BSC won the hard-fought match against the Vikings in four sets, winning set one 25-22, but falling in set two, 25-23. The Panthers rallied in set three, winning 25-21, and set four, 25-19.
Bothe led with 14 kills and also had 12 digs, followed by freshman Kelly Foster with 12 kills and Moore with 11. Dickson led with 26 digs and Reibe led with 39 assists. Harris recorded 19 digs and junior Chelsea Pittman had 15. Smith led again with five blocks and also had seven kills with no errors, hitting .467.
"I thought we played really hard today to earn both wins," Head Coach Judy Green said. "It was exactly what we needed because we need to remember how hard we have to play to be successful. We are a blue-collar team with a blue-collar work ethic, and that is what has gotten us to where we are, and that's what's going to take us even further.
"I'm very proud of our team's effort today, very proud, because it wasn't easy, and we stayed calm and found a way to be successful.
"In the last match, Alaina Smith played outstanding," Green continued. "That was one of the best matches I've seen her play all year long. She did a great job at the net blocking and channeling balls to the defense - she's just a scorer.
"It was also really fun tonight to be part of the Panther Pink initiative, just being part of a nationwide phenomena that helps raise awareness for something that affects so many people, both men and women."
BSC is back in action in the Invitational tomorrow, facing Fisk University at 2 p.m. and Spring Hill College at 7 p.m. Saturday will also be Senior Night for Smith, Harris, Alessandra Norman, and Chelsea Pittman.
In other matches today, Spring Hill defeated Susquehanna, 3-0, Berry defeated Fisk, 3-0, and Spring Hill defeated Fisk, 3-0. For complete results as well as box scores for all matches, visit the Invitational web page here.

At least one person at Thursday's "Sparkle" preem was also there in 1976 when the original pic unspooled.
"The original was a small little vehicle that brought Joel Schumacher and me out to Hollywood," Howard Rosenman recalled at the Chinese. He's exec producer on the current TriStar pic, but produced the first one and got a "story by" credit. Schumacher was screenwriter then; Mara Brock Akil penned and co-produced the 2012 pic.
At the Roosevelt Hotel afterparty, Rosenman compared the two versions. "They're very different," he opined. "There was some victimization in the original, but with this movie they've created a woman empowerment movie. It's less innocent, it's a little more sophisticated."
Rosenman went on to trade hugs and memories with Cissy Houston and Bobbi Kristina Brown, who also seemed very happy with the pic starring Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston.

- Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Section 14(c) Advisor
This Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Section 14(c) Advisor provides guidance on Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which authorizes employers, after receiving a certificate from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Wage and Hour Division (WHD), to pay special minimum wages - wages less than the Federal minimum wage - to workers who have disabilities for the work being performed. The certificate also allows the payment of wages that are less than the prevailing wage to workers who have disabilities for the work being performed on contracts subject to the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act (SCA) and the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act (PCA). The Regulations applicable to FLSA Section 14(c) are contained at 29 CFR Part 525.
Under FLSA Section 14(c), a worker who has a disability for the job being performed is one whose earning or productive capacity is impaired by a physical or mental disability, including those relating to age or injury. Disabilities that may affect productive capacity include blindness, mental illness, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, alcoholism, and drug addiction. The following, taken by themselves, are not considered to be disabilities for purposes of paying special minimum wages: educational disabilities, chronic unemployment, receipt of welfare benefits, nonattendance at school, juvenile delinquency, and correctional parole or probation.
The FLSA 14(c) Advisor helps employers of workers with disabilities, employees with disabilities, and their family members understand the circumstances under which an employer may pay wage rates that are less than the applicable Federal minimum wage. However, the Advisor does not include every possible situation. No conclusion should be drawn from the fact that a subject or an illustration may not be addressed.
For a general overview of the major provisions of FLSA Section 14(c), please read Fact Sheet No. 39, The Employment of Workers with Disabilities at Special Minimum Wages. For detailed information about FLSA Section 14(c), please proceed with the Advisor by selecting continue.
The FLSA Section 14(c) Advisor is one of a series of elaws (Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses) Advisors developed by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to help employers and employees understand their rights and responsibilities under Federal employment laws. To view the entire list of elaws Advisors please visit the elaws website. To learn more about DOL's efforts to promote and achieve compliance with labor standards in place to protect and enhance the welfare of the nation's workforce, visit the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) website.
