Confronting the BulliesBy Elise CooperIn her book Reconstructing Amelia, Kimberly McCreight brings to the forefront the compelling issue of bullying. Because of societal changes surrounding electronic media and parenting, bullying has become both easier and harder to avoid. It takes on many forms from verbal abuse, emotional abuse, to physical abuse. People are bullied because they are perceived as different whether it's due to their sexual preferences, the way they dress, their size, race, religion, political affiliation, academic performance, or economic background. American Thinker interviewed experts and those who have been personally affected by bullying. Ben Shapiro stated in his latest book, Bullies, "They come in all shapes and sizes. They're a diverse crowd..." Everyone agrees, including Barbara S. Nadel, a psychotherapist, who feels there is a continuum of bullying from being teased to ignoring or excluding someone, to undermining someone's self-worth. Deborah Runion, an expert and consultant on school violence, told American Thinker that the suicide rates among children are increasing and that it ranks as the second-highest cause of death in America for children between the ages of ten to twenty-four. "Today, instead of calling it children's suicide it is being called 'bullycide.'" People should not just accept it as "kids will be kids," since bullies get pleasure from inflicting pain. The victim certainly does not consider it normal behavior that is part of the growing up process. Kirk Smalley's son, Ty, who was eleven years old, shot himself to escape bullying last year. Ty was physically and verbally bullied because he had a small physique. Tired of being thrown into lockers and being called names for two years, he retaliated with the outcome of being suspended. His father told American Thinker, "Although my son shot himself, he could have easily hung himself, drowned himself in the nearby river, or taken a chemical from our barn to poison himself. I read of a case where a thirteen-year old girl ended her life by stepping in front of a moving train to get away from bullying." McCreight emphasized in her book and during the interview that often times parents blame themselves, even though they are not at fault, for not protecting their children. She highlighted a quote from the book, "Because it was Kate's fault, of course, that Amelia was dead. That she had killed herself. It was a mother's job to protect her child, even from herself. And Kate had failed..." Kirk agrees and sadly confirmed how guilty he and his wife feel about not preventing Ty from committing suicide. He recalls how his wife dropped Ty off at home and then had to get back to work. When she arrived home later, Ty was dead. In this instance it was not the parents who should assume the blame, but the school culture of Perkins, Oklahoma. Ty's parents tried to help by going to the school numerous times, asking for something to be done. The school denied that there was a bullying problem. Yet, Kirk reflects that the day after Ty killed himself, students came to school joking about the suicide. He is frustrated because the bullying is still going on in that school district, and nothing is being done. "We were not members of the elite group of school board members. We could not even go to our newspaper because a school board member owns it, and one of the school board members is a parent of one of the bullies. So where can I turn? James Ramsey, the superintendent of the school district, just a day after Ty killed himself, found no evidence that bullying was a factor. Yet, he did not even interview any of Ty's friends or family." All the experts interviewed agree that school culture can contribute significantly to an atmosphere where bullying thrives. Lee Hirsch, the producer, writer, and director of the documentary Bully, made the film to bring about change, and to show "how terrifying bullying can be. I was bullied for many years and still cannot understand why. I had a very hard time getting the support of teachers and administrators." Dr. Stuart Twemlow, a Professor of Psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine, believes that schools need to find ways to seek the bullies out. "The environment has to stop providing rewards for the bullying behavior." All the experts do not think legislation is the answer, because as Hirsch stated, "Unless the legislation is perfect it can be as damaging as it is helpful." Most interviewed believe that the issue must be addressed at the local level and point to the gun and drug laws to show how legislation does not work, because it is never fully enforced. There is also the simple fact that each school culture is somewhat different and a one-size fits all program will not address the individual needs of a school. In Reconstructing Amelia, McCreight insightfully shows how bullies today use text message blasts, emails, Facebook postings, and a mean-spirited school blog to inflict emotional pain upon the victim. This new form of bullying is a weapon, allowing for anything to be said without having to face or listen to the victims anguish and many times without any recourse. Therapist Nadel told American Thinker of an instance where someone was bullied through emails by a supposed friend. In that particular case the parents were able to help her draft email responses, but in many cases it is "'bullying by stealth' since the person can remain anonymous, and become detached. It has a profound impact since it is much harder to harass someone to their face. There is this barrier of unreality where someone does not understand that words hurt people and they stay hurt unless a repair is made. It used to be that even if someone was bullied at school they could go home and feel safe. Today they can get victimized 24 hours/day, seven days/week with the whole world knowing." McCreight commented to American Thinker, "parenting today has become much more difficult, and the balancing act is a lot more complicated. One of my daughters was bullied surrounding social issues at her school. I thought, after hearing her story, that as a good parent I would charge down to the school as well as call the parents. She got extremely aggravated with me because she did not want me to get involved. The difficulty lies in how a parent can create an environment where your children can talk to you, but not lose control. Parents need to find that good mix where they can be a sounding board for their children, that they can be told anything. So, if I could pass one message on to my daughters it would be that: no matter what you do or who you grow up to be, I will love you unconditionally. And that's always true, even when I'm really, really mad at you." Because both sets of parents often work today, how does that affect parenting and the ability to communicate? Dr. Twemlow noted, "With two-earning parents who brings up the children? I am afraid the nuclear family has gone away. Everyone seems to be doing their own thing." Deb Runion agrees and emphasizes that many parents forget that there is a need, especially with teenagers, to be there when the opportunity arises for a conversation. "Remember teenagers are attempting to figure their way through life and a lot of them do not have the resource or resilience to deal with problems alone. Parents of today think they can buy their children's attention and love with material items such as an IPAD. They can provide these items but there still must be proper support and supervision. Parents have this misconception that when their children reach high school they no longer need supervision. Actually it is totally the opposite. So much is allowed by a parent because they are either tired, have other issues on their mind, or because it is easier to let something go. Too much is allowed or excused because the boundaries have slipped away." Some of the solutions given by the experts to prevent bullying and become aware of the victims seem easy to obtain. Since they are still children, parents have the right and duty to check their children's technology spontaneously. Parents should teach and role model "the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would want them to do unto you," since the idea of valuing others is highly diminished today. Barbara Nadel emphasizes the need for parents to stay involved and ask their children: how is school going, what groups are you involved in, how are your friends, just communicate. Regarding the school environment, the solution, according to Dr. Twemlow, is to change how the school functions by assessing its culture and what strategies can be adopted to create a new culture, involving individual programs that fit individual school needs. There must be a sustainable safe school community achieved through the process of asking and listening to everyone in the school from teachers to staff to children. This is something Lee Hirsch feels strongly about and he has created an educator's kit that is sent along with the Bully documentary to schools. Furthermore, Dr. Twemlow wants to start teaching children at a young age that they need to stop being bystanders and, as Runion refers to them become "upstanders," those that step up to the plate to help victims of bullying. Runion wants a policy that is modeled, preached, and consistently enforced each and every day, and refers to it as discipline, education, and learning. Kirk and Laura Smalley's solution was founding Stand for the Silent to address the issue of school bullying. They start with a discussion of their personal tragedy to show students the life and death consequences of bullying. They hope to create "upstanders" that are committed to change and will stand up for the victims against the bullies. There needs to be a societal shift that refuses to accept bullying on any level, even though bullying has occurred throughout the ages. (Dr. Twemlow has traced it back 500 years.) Because of societal changes, bullying has become more frequent and nastier, due in part to the electronic media. Parents, schools, and communities need to get involved to make sure students feel safe by teaching respect, empathy, compassion, and tolerance of diversity or 'bullycide' will become the number one cause of children's deaths.

Best Gaming CPU for $220:
The Core i5-3570K's base clock rate is only 300 MHz faster than the Core i5-3350P's. However, the K-series' unlocked ratio multiplier is a must-have for overclockers looking to unleash significant performance improvements. It is for this reason alone that you'll want to consider shelling out an additional $40 beyond Intel's more entry-level Core i5. After all, the pricier chip's HD Graphics 4000 engine is inconsequential to us.
If you don't plan to overclock, then there's little reason to spend any more than $180 on the Core i5-3350P. Intel Core i5-3570K
Overclocking Gamer's Pick
Diminishing Returns Kick In:
CPUs priced over $220 offer rapidly diminishing returns when it comes to performance in games. As such, we have a hard time recommending anything more expensive than the Core i5-3570K, especially since this multiplier-unlocked processor is easy to tune up to 4.5 GHz or so with the right cooler. Even at stock clocks, though, it matches or beats the old $1000 Gulftown-based Core i7-990X Extreme Edition in game tests.
We have seen a small handful of games benefit from Hyper-Threaded Core i7 processors, though. Because we believe this is a trend that will continue as developers optimize their titles, we're including the Core i7-3770K as an honorable mention, now selling for $320. In a vast majority of games, the Core i7 won't demonstrate much advantage over the Core i5. But if you're a serious enthusiast who wants some future-proofing and values highly-threaded application performance, this processor may be worth the extra money.
In addition, there's certainly an argument to be made for using LGA 2011 as the ultimate gaming platform. LGA 2011-based CPUs have more available cache and as many as two more execution cores than the flagship LGA 1150/1155 models. Additionally, more bandwidth is delivered through a quad-channel memory controller. And with 40 lanes of third-gen PCIe connectivity available from Ivy Bridge-E based processors (we're assuming that if you're building on X79 today, you're using a Core i7-4000-series chip), the platform natively supports two x16 and one x8 slot, or one x16 and three x8 slots, alleviating potential bottlenecks in three- and four-way CrossFire or SLI configurations.
Although they sound impressive, those advantages don't necessarily translate into significant performance gains in modern titles. Our tests demonstrate fairly little difference between a $225 LGA 1155 Core i5-2500K and a $1000 LGA 2011 Core i7-4960X, even when three-way graphics card configurations are involved. It turns out that memory bandwidth and PCIe throughput don't hold back the game performance of existing Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, and Haswell-based machines.
Where we do see the potential for Ivy Bridge-E to drive additional performance is in processor-bound games like World of Warcraft or the multiplayer component of Battlefield 4. If you're running a three- or four-way array of graphics cards already, there's a good chance that you already own more than enough rendering muscle. An overclocked Core i7-4960X or -4930K could help the rest of your platform catch up to an insanely powerful arrangement of GPUs.
To summarize, while we generally recommend against purchasing any gaming CPU that retails for more than $220 from a value point of view (sink that money into graphics and the motherboard instead), there are those of you who have no trouble throwing down serious money on the best of the best, and who require the fastest possible performance available. If this describes your goals, the following CPUs may be for you:
Best Gaming CPU for $320: None
Honorable Mention:
The Core i7-3770K only enjoys a 100 MHz-higher clock rate than the Core i5-3570K. Its real advantage is an extra 2 MB of L3 cache and Intel's Hyper-Threading feature.
Neither of those extras have a big impact on gaming, but there is a small number of titles (like Crysis 3) that take advantage of extra resources, translating to a performance increase. Having said that, this is still rare, and the Core i7-3770K will be more useful to power users who want better performance in well-threaded apps, in addition to the best frame rates in games.
Why not the new Core i7-4770K? As Chris covered in his launch story, it's really not all that impressive compared to Core i7-3770K. You need an LGA 1150-based motherboard to support it, and Intel currently wants $30 more for it. We're passing on making Haswell a recommendation for now. Intel Core i7-3770K
Premium Gaming, Overclocking, And Application Performance
Best Gaming CPU for $570: (or for any price)
Take the $1,000 Core i7-3970X, remove 3 MB of L3 cache, and drop the base clock rate by 300 MHz. What do end up with? Four hundred dollars and change left over, and an Intel Core i7-3930K.
The 300 MHz difference in clock rate is hardly relevant, given unlocked multiplier ratios benefiting both CPUs. And you'd be hard-pressed to quantify the advantage of 15 MB of shared L3 cache over 12 MB. Moreover, a greater-than-$400 savings lets you buy a nice motherboard and cooler, while still getting the same four-channel memory subsystem and 40-lane PCI Express 3.0-capable controller.

David Weir has been sacked as manager of Sheffield United following a dismal start to the season.
Weir was handed his first management job at Bramall Lane in the summer, but his brief reign was cut short after only a handful of games, with the club third from bottom in Sky Bet League 1.
Tuesday's defeat by Hartlepool in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy prompted the board to take action and Chris Morgan takes charge as caretaker manager for the trip to Coventry on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
The Blades were expected to challenge for promotion this season, but have failed to pick up a victory since the opening day.
Speaking after Tuesday's defeat, Weir admitted that United's form was unacceptable.
"I understand that results haven't been good enough and ultimately that's what I'll be judged on," he said. "It's unacceptable. We need to start playing better and start scoring goals and stop conceding goals.
"I'm a positive person and I look for the positives but I don't think there were any positives at all to take from the game."
Morgan, a former long-serving defender with United, had a spell as caretaker boss last season following the departure of former boss Danny Wilson.

The Baltimore Ravens saw their quest for a sixth straight playoff appearance take a huge hit yesterday as the Cleveland Browns ended their 11 game losing streak against the Ravens, winning 24-18 to leap Baltimore in the AFC North Standings.
In all honesty, it was not an out of the ordinary game for the Ravens or Ravens' fans as the offense struggled, the defense couldn't come up with a stop when the team needed them to, and the offensive line was the butt of all jokes.
The one out of the ordinary occurrence yesterday turned out to be one of, if not the biggest plays of the game when Tandon Doss was back deep to return a punt in the third quarter with the Ravens trailing 14-10. Doss called for a fair catch but turned somewhat sideways when he was about to field the punt and it went right through his arms and Cleveland recovered the muffed punt and took over on Baltimore's 11 yard line.
Cleveland would score a touchdown on the ensuing drive to go up by 11 points, and despite the Ravens pulling within three after Joe Flacco hooked up with Marlon Brown for the second time in the game for a touchdown, this one a seven yarder, Cleveland never relinquished the lead.
Baltimore had a shot to give Flacco the ball back late in the fourth quarter, but thanks to a 4th and one conversion on the Ravens 43 yard line with 3:12 remaining, Cleveland kept the ball and continued to drive, ultimately adding a field goal to make the score 24-18 with just 0:14 left in the game.
It was the same ole song and dance as the defense played fairly well most of the game, but could not get the big stop when the team needed it the most, and a large reason for that could be that they get worn down from being on the field so often earlier in the game due to the offense's inability to get going until late in the game.
Either way, Baltimore is going to have to figure something out on both sides of the ball if they seriously want to be a threat for the playoffs. The Ravens accrued just 55 yards rushing on the day with Flacco leading the way for Baltimore with 25 yards. If you had any doubt about the ineffectiveness of the Ravens rushing attack, anytime Flacco leads the team in rushing in a game should be a glaring sign.
"We just can't run the ball right now," Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh said after the game. "We've got our work cut out for us."
The Ravens let a golden opportunity to gain a game on the Cincinnati Bengals slip through their fingers with this blunder in Cleveland. It was the first time in the Harbaugh-Flacco era that Baltimore has lost to the Browns, as it had been 11 straight wins.
Baltimore, now hanging on by a thread, a thread which is woven simply due to the fact that they still play the Bengals twice, will turn their focus onto Cincinnati as the Ravens will host them in week 10 in an absolute must win game.

WSR Signature Theatre proudly announces auditions for it's next multi-generational production: Annie! Auditions will be held November 2nd & 3rd at the Wichita Scottish Rite from 3pm to 4:30pm. Please bring a prepared song to sing along with a resume (no headshot necessary). We will hear singers in order of arrival followed by a potential movement call and/or cold readings from the script.
Slated to be an early holiday treat, the production dates are Sunday, December 8th and Monday, December 9th both starting at 7pm. Rehearsals will be held early weekday evenings and weekend afternoons at the Wichita Scottish Rite.
This is not a Junior production, so we welcome auditioners of all ages (age 5 and up please). If you have any questions, please give Deb Campbell a call.
Abused by a cruel orphanage matron, Annie, a spunky, redheaded orphan, decides to run away and find her parents. After eventually managing to escape the orphanage, she sadly is caught and sent back by Officer Ward of the NYPD. Soon though, her luck improves. Billionaire Oliver Warbucks decides to invite an orphan over to his house for Christmas and Annie is chosen. The two quickly hit it off and he agrees to help Annie find her parents by putting up a $50,000 reward. Miss Hannigan's brother, Rooster, and his girlfriend, Lily, pretend to be Annie's parents by using information provided by Miss Hannigan. At the last minute, President Roosevelt intervenes to announce that the FBI has discovered that Annie's parents are in fact, dead. In the end, Hannigan, Rooster, and Lily are all arrested and Annie is adopted by Warbucks.

One of many success stories Click here for more
I started on Explore Talent in March and immediately found my first audition for a voice over part. When I went for the audition, I didn't get the voice over...because they cast me for a supporting role. Next I self submitted to audition for a supporting role in a movie about a NY Crime Family Boss. I didn't get that part either...because they cast me as the LEAD!! Then I self submitted for a supporting role in another film and got that one. Yes, there have been others that I have submitted for but have either not gotten the call or had to turn down the audition due to conflicts (but that is a great feeling, when you can't do it- BECAUSE YOU ARE WORKING!!!) While these haven't been paid gigs, my resume has gone from basically nothing for the last 30 years to a nicely rounded experience grouping. As a result I now have 2 SAG Franchised agents to which I am signed. - Thanks for a great start Explore Talent!

The year 2013 was a year packed full to the brim with new developments in the photo industry. It started with CES in Las Vegas and CP+ in Yokohama in January, then along came IFA in Berlin in September, followed by Photo Plus in New York in October. In the meantime, manufacturers didn't pause with their announcements of new products. We saw a lot of exciting stuff launched, but also some things that had us scratch our heads. And then, there were those announcements that nobody could really wrap their head around. Here's a list of we here at The Phoblographer consider this year's top and flop five industry developments.
Though we wish that no photographer has a bad day, it sure seems like Chase Jarvis had one. In an experiment gone horribly wrong, a DJI Phantom, a Quadracopter meant for photographers and videographers, took a swim in the frigid Iceland waters. When it fell into the water, a Sony RX 100 II went along with it. They were trying to use that camera because of its image stabilization and raw capabilities. However the Quadracopter was meant for a GoPro camera. The hack they tried was well thought out, but it did not work out well in the end.
Check out the video after the jump.
Via PetaPixel
This is a massive list, so just let your loved one or anyone thinking about getting you a gift know just what you want. Here are 30 gifts that every photographer would appreciate this holiday season.
Sony Alpha Rumors is reporting on a 50mm f0.95 lens that will released soon by the company Mitakon. The lens will be the first true 50mm optic for the system and will also be the first super fast optic. Getting anything in focus at f0.95 is going to be quite tough to do even with Sony's peaking feature. All of the company's lenses are manual focus optics with a real aperture ring and a working distance and depth of field scale–very much like the Voigtlander optics made for Micro Four Thirds. To get the best use out of them you'll probably want to use the zone focusing system unless you choose to use the magnify setting on Sony's A7 and A7r.
Mitakon creating this lens makes us wonder how the bigger player, SLRMagic will respond. Last year, the company stopped making their lenses in Leica M mount because of a debacle on a forum where a customer (we believe wrongfully) lied about the company's customer service policy. The A7 and A7r dip into that market a bit, but we believe that SLRMagic with their large list of hyperprime lenses should surely tackle this sector.
As an aside, Rokinon and Samyang are also getting into the game: though they aren't Chinese made optics–they're manufactured in Korea. Rokinon and Samyang also have the advantage of being carried in many photo specialty retailers while SLRMagic is only on Amazon, eBay and Adorama.
No official word on pricing yet, but it should be coming next year.
The Phoblographer and MeFOTO are INCREDIBLY excited to announce our latest giveaway together. We're giving away a Sony A7 kit and a MeFOTO Roadtrip tripod in any color of your choice. We've got a really simple contest and one lucky winner will have an even brighter holiday season with these two fabulous products in their hands.
So how do you win? Head on past the jump to see.
Zeiss has already developed some of its Touit Lenses for the NEX system, but those are designed for APS-C sensor. According to Sony Alpha Rumors, the company stated that they are working on new manual focus lenses for the full frame cameras. Now, what this could mean is that they're essentially going to take their current lineup of lenses and adapt them with a full frame E mount. However, it could also mean that brand new lenses may be coming. As it is, we really liked the performance of the 55mm f1.4 Otus on the A7r.
Zeiss currently has lots of lenses in their lineup–many of which we have reviewed. When it came to producing their cinema line of lenses, the company mostly took their current lineup and ergonomically adapted them; though some of the lenses have changes. In terms of the way a company is run, it would make the most economic sense for Zeiss to simply adapt the lenses to Sony full frame E mount. The lenses that the company designs for Canon EF and Nikon F mounts have a couple of subtle design differences as the Nikon lenses have a working aperture ring. The new Sony full frame lenses, however, could effectively expand the lineup of options that the Sony full frame E mount system will have when combined with everything that Samyang/Rokinon offer. But these lenses won't have weather sealing like the Zeiss branded Sony offerings.
We're totally not sure what this could mean and this is us just theorizing, but we can expect to see them next year around Photokina. The Otus lens might be an excellent option for the also rumored 54MP full frame sensor that Sony is working on. At the moment though, we're testing the A7 and A7r; and the A7r produces some huge files that is filling up our hard drives quite fast.

Breaking up four big banks
The New York Times – Almost exactly two years ago, at the height of the Senate debate on financial reform, a serious attempt was made to impose a binding size constraint on our largest banks. That effort — sometimes referred to as the Brown-Kaufman amendment — received the support of 33 senators and failed on the floor of the Senate.
On Wednesday, Senator Sherrod Brown, Democrat of Ohio, introduced the Safe, Accountable, Fair and Efficient Banking Act, or SAFE Banking Act, which would force the largest four banks in the country to shrink. (Details of this proposal, similar in name to the original Brown-Kaufman plan, are in this briefing memo for a Senate banking subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, available through Politico, and in this news release).
His proposal, while not likely to become law immediately, is garnering support from across the political spectrum — and more support than essentially the same ideas received two years ago.
The proposition is simple: Too-big-to-fail banks should be made smaller, and preferably small enough to fail without causing global panic. This idea had been gathering momentum since the fall of 2008 and, while the Brown-Kaufman amendment originated on the Democratic side, support was beginning to appear across the aisle. But big banks and the Treasury Department both opposed it, and parliamentary maneuvers ensured there was little real debate. (For a compelling account of how the financial lobby works, both in general and in this instance, look for a forthcoming book by Jeff Connaughton, former chief of staff to former Senator Ted Kaufman of Delaware.)
The issue has not gone away. And while the financial sector has pushed back with some success against various components of the Dodd-Frank reform legislation, the idea of breaking up very large banks has gained momentum.
In particular, informed sentiment has shifted against continuing to allow very large banks to operate in their current highly leveraged form, with a great deal of debt and very little equity. There is increasing recognition of the huge and unfair costs that these structures impose on the rest of the economy.

Every now and then, this column will focus on things that I missed out on as everybody else initially embraced. Once I finally gave said thing a shot, everybody else was an old hand in it, leaving me the dumb rookie who has no clue what's going on while everybody else yammers about it like they were born with the knowledge of how to do it. In case you're the kind of person who hates reading titles, I recently played fantasy sports for the first time, despite so many others doing it for years and years at this point.
Let me put it this way; for the longest time, I considered fantasy sports to be Mila Kunis, Taylor Swift, and Natalie Imbruglia running around, tackling each other, and wrestling for the ball while rain poured down all over them. And this would happen over and over and over again, regardless of the score. I realize that's probably an old joke, the whole fantasy-girls-doing-fantasy-sports things, but I didn't know any better. And you gotta admit; I picked a good starting line-up.
But I was challenged this year to do real (or at least as real as it gets) fantasy football, which is a great sport for beginners like me, as they only play once a week and you have a lot of time to pick your players. It's also a great sport for forgetful types like me, as they only play once a week and you only have to remember to pick these players once a week. How people do fantasy baseball, where every team plays damn near every day, 162 times each, is absolutely beyond me. I tried fantasy basketball and didn't make it two months before I kept forgetting to update my daily lineup and suddenly deciding it would be useless to continue. Because really, once you fall behind in your free fantasy league where there's no money on the line, you really stand no shot at winning all that nothing. Might as well move on to more nothing.
Am I rambling again? Of course I am; it's my gimmick. Back to point: how did the fantasy football turn out? Not bad, actually. I certainly did better than the guy who challenged me, who went 7-7 and missed the playoffs. I went 9-5 and made the playoffs, all after winning my first 5 games in a row, which was awesome. Less awesome was going 4-5 the rest of the way (and losing in the first round of the playoffs), but since this is my column, we're not going to talk about that any more.
Fantasy's weird; it's truly the antithesis of team sports. Real sports teams are successful when they sacrifice individual ideals for the greater good of helping the team win. Many a player has mediocre individual stats, but enough rings to fill up at least one hand. And at the end of the day, most of these athletes are all about winning, and helping the team win. Fantasy, meanwhile, is all about the individual: how many points they score, how many yards they run, how many strikeouts they make, how many cheerleaders they get drunk and…well, never mind that last one. Again, totally different fantasy league.
My fantasy quarterback was Peyton Manning: superstar athlete, shameless endorsement whore, and master Oreo licker. Instead of Peyton Manning and the Colts sacrificing individual stats, lobbing short passes and varying amongst several receivers, in favor of pursuing the ultimate team stat (winning the damn game), I found myself rooting for Manning to light up everybody, garner a few hundred yards and a couple touchdowns per game, while hoping the rest of the team would crap the bed while still sleeping in it and lose the game for him. This only sometimes happened, and not often enough for my tastes.
I will likely continue to play fantasy, at least fantasy football. Once a week and I'm done, sounds perfect for me. Besides, NFL.com roped me in by offering a playoff fantasy league where the winner gets tickets for next years Super Bowl. Of course, there's a decent chance the game won't even be played, due to the pending lockout brought on by really rich people squabbling over how much richer they should be allowed to become. I'm in 98,000th place heading into the Super Bowl, which means less than 100,000 people remain that I need to hunt and kill. But mark my words: if I win, there will be no Super Bowl next year. I'm lucky like that.

Area youth heading to national conference
Kevin Chierek
Posted: 01.04.2011 at 2:21 PM
QUEEN CITY, MO -- One area high school student is soaring above his peers. Daniel Howe, a junior at Schuyler County High School, has been selected to represent Missouri as a National Youth Correspondent to the
2011 Washington Journalism and Media Conference
(WJMC) at George Mason University.
Daniel is a familiar face here at KTVO. He works as the audio operator for our Good Morning Heartland show. At 17, he believes he has an edge above others his age because of his experience.
"A lot of other kids my age only have read stuff in books and in classes" said Daniel. "I work behind the scenes and have hands on experiance. I know how a news show is run and can handle the stress. I'm hoping at the end of the conference I will know more about the industry and how larger markets run efficiently."
Daniel will join a select group of students from all over the country for an intensive study of journalism and media. He was chosen based on academic accomplishments and a demonstrated interest and excellence in journalism. Daniel is only one of seven youths from Missouri attending this year's program.
WJMC was created in 2009 and is a unique student leadership conference designed to develop and encourage future leaders in the changing face of the media industry. This year's conference will take place from July 10 to July 15 at George Mason University.

Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych (Ukrainian: Віктор Федорович Янукович (help·info)) (born July 9, 1950) is a Ukrainian politician who has been the President of Ukraine since February 2010.
Yanukovych served as the Governor of Donetsk Oblast from 1997 to 2002. Subsequently he was Prime Minister of Ukraine from November 21, 2002 to December 31, 2004, under President Leonid Kuchma, and he was an unsuccessful candidate in the controversial 2004 presidential election, ultimately losing to Viktor Yushchenko. Yanukovych continued to lead his party, the Party of Regions, after the 2004 election, and he served as Prime Minister for a second time from August 4, 2006 to December 18, 2007 under President Yushchenko. On March 3, 2010, Yanukovych transferred the leadership of the party to Mykola Azarov.
Yanukovych was the top vote-getter in the first round of the January 2010 presidential election, and faced Yulia Tymoshenko in the second round of the election. Yanukovych won the second round of the election with 48.95% of the vote against Tymoshenko's 45.47%. He is thus the first directly elected president in Ukraine's history to win with less than 50% of the vote.

Market guide | Zillow predicts Seminole Heights home values will increase 2% next year, compared to a 2.3% increase for Tampa as a whole. Among Seminole Heights homes, this home is valued 204.8% more than the midpoint (median) home, and is valued 40% more per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the Seminole Heights market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold climbed 19.2% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 44.5% higher than in Tampa, and 436.6% higher than the national average. This higher local number may prevent Seminole Heights home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Tampa. Learn more about forecast calculations or Seminole Heights home values.… moreless |

Why does Betfair incorporate experiential as part of its events strategy?
It is an essential tool for us to achieve a two-way dialogue with our customers, get them really engaged in our brand in a real-life experience and make them our brand advocates, so that they are passionate about us, talk about us and we are their buying preference.
How have you used experiential to achieve brand advocacy?
Cheltenham Festival is the perfect example of this - we really 'own' Cheltenham during the event. We are not actually a main sponsor, but we take over the station so that the message is right there in front of our customers when they get off the train. We brand all the buses, have a branded pub called the Betfair Arms that can get a bit lively sometimes, and have our brand ambassadors - who are not bad-looking girls - lining the streets of the town, giving out these now-famous yellow scarves that everybody loves to have. Everywhere you look there is a sea of yellow around Cheltenham during the festival.
How else does Betfair use experiential?
Another example of this is a brand called Betfair Bespoke that we created about six months ago. It involves really high-end incentives aimed at our most important customers, our high-rollers, who are incredibly important to us. There is a lot of competition out there for them. We took the view that we needed a tiered approach to our entertaining, which is how Betfair Bespoke was born. We link ourselves to brands such as F1, taking people away on trips around the world and providing top hospitality, including business-class fights. We keep people happy by laying on the best entertainment you can find in whichever city we are in, and really make sure our guests feel engaged and loyal to us.
How important is experiential as part of Betfair's overall marketing strategy?
I think it's essential. You can't really feel anything for a brand unless you come to something like this and experience it, and that's where you start to achieve a deeper level of engagement with - and understanding of - your consumers.
What we undertake here is so different to what our competitors do. You cannot underestimate the importance of people having the right perception of your brand and feeling as if it is something different and special - that's why we invest in experiential.
What does Betfair look for in an agency partner?
When we are choosing an agency for our experiential events, it is really important that they have the latest cutting-edge technology. We are a technology company and we need to reflect that in everything we do, including elements such as the giant screens you see today in our lounge.
I look for someone who can challenge me creatively and help push the boundaries, so that together we end up with a great finished product. I also want someone I really get on with.
Betfair has understood how to make the most of experiential, delivering stand-out and creating brand advocates. It is maximising its budget, ensuring the festival has multiple touch-points and delivering the Betfair brand without the usual high spend on title sponsorship. It has a broad spectrum of clients, engaging and delivering the correct message and service to each. Customers trust Betfair and see it as a friendly brand - essential when winning and retaining those consumers.
This is a great example of using a high-footfall, targeted event to generate awareness. To take it a step further, we would recommend an immersive experience at the core to fully engage. To extend reach, you could start a dialogue and create excitement before the event, then utilise content afterwards. Our philosophy would be to place the live brand experience at the core of the strategy, and use other 'amplification channels' such as social media and radio to achieve this. The possibilities are endless.
Chantal talks like a true experiential marketer and events such as Cheltenham make perfect sense as an environment in which to activate the brand. But it's not tough to make this kind of campaign work; gaming consumers don't need much persuading to engage when 'not bad-looking girls' are offering free bets. I've no doubt Cheltenham is working for Betfair, but I've never heard of anything it's doing in the press or from competitors. Maybe she should take a punt on a new agency this year.
Whereas so many other marketing disciplines involve a single generic message being broadcast across a range of market segments, Betfair's tiered experiential approach enables tailored activity to target key customer groups, while still permitting continued engagement with mainstream consumers. It doesn't have to be an either/or. Different methods of direct engagement can be applied simultaneously to reach selected customer segments, and, depending on a brand's objectives, this targeted strategy can embrace new prospects, lapsed customers or any other identified demographic profile.

Very friendly staff Cozy environment
Quite a distance from town
Love the Gaylord in general. I have been to this one and the one in Nashville over the last 20-25 years.
I felt it was pricey for what I got. I stayed there with my new bride because of the perceived prestige of the Gaylord.
They upgraded our room for our honeymoon to a beautiful Penthouse Suite
Nothing. Absolutely wonderful.
Waterpark: fun, music was great and very family oriented Hotel: beautiful, loved the sports Restraunt, location, and our favorite was the roof top family fun and fireworks
The beds and pillows was like sleeping on a rock!!!! My back was sore for days
How expensive all the food was. I expected it to be more reasonable for a family of 4.
The bio-dome plants. Outdoor pool
Room rates for 4 day stay no deal
The atmosphere, staff was very friendly, Paradise Springs was great(mini water park).
I have been trying to get a hold of the business office as I was charged three times for a one night stay!!
Beautiful Hotel, Restraunts
No hot water, still waiting for almost $100 to be placed back on my credit card, has been 5 days since stay.
Indoor resort and wonderful restaurants and sports bar
I thought it was stupid of management to remove the wonderful Christmas light display early when a 100,000 people came into town on the 4th of January to watch the Cotton Bowl football game!!!!! A smart management team would have left it up until the following Monday. Crazy?
Family place Things to do for everyone Nice holiday session activities
Paying $27 per night for parking
The hotel was amazing. There is so much to see and do. The room was extremely big.
My reservation was messed up. When I first booked I booked from a Friday to a Monday, but later decided to come in on Saturday. I changed my booking Oct 29 and was not arriving until Dec 15. Well, when we got there on the 15th they had said we were a no show so the reservation was cancelled. Glad I had my email. Then, they were trying to charge us a lot of money but the price was on the email as well. The staff did fix the problem; however, I was charged twice. I was charged for my stay and the missed night. Called Marriot and they were suppose to credit my account one amount and I am still waiting for the other half. It is Jan 3 and I still have not received my full refund from that screw up.
The Christmas decorations were just breath-taking...just lovely. We LOVED them, loved the lights, the layout, so much to see and do re: Christmas. **Also, one employee really stood out. Her name was Ashley from Abeline. She was helpful, friendly, accomodating - just perfect and professional. It would be nice to have more employees like her. She was outstanding and we appreciated her very much.
For this to be a luxury resort, Our family suggests you upgrade your bedding and comforters. Many less expensive hotels have better bedding - sleep systems - and websites where you can order your favorite things. We found the beds to be a bit harder than we are used to, the comforter NOT plush at all and not warm for the winter. The sheets were adequate, just not soft for a luxury hotel. The whole hotel also felt cold in some spots...breezy and cold. Also, it took a while to fix an elevator which was surprising. We'd also recommend discounted tickets to things like ICE an Gingy's for those who stay at the resort. The prices are simply high.
The Christmas lights were pretty.
Choked with people. Long wait to get into restaurant. Overpriced.
The facility was like a winter wonderland and great for a break from the holiday hustle and bustle. There was plenty to do and also freedom to relax and enjoy movies and naps.
We invited guests to join us for dinner at Zeppole's restaurant and checked during the afternoon to make reservations. We were told that was not necessary and we should just show up which we did. We were told there would be a 30 minute wait and proceeded to pass the time. At the 45 minute time lapse I checked to make sure our buzzer was still active and was told it would be a while longer. After an hour wait our daughter-in- law approached the hostess desk and was told we were next to be seated. The restaurant had at least 50% of the tables empty and the kitchen was turning out the orders in good time. The problem was clearly lack of expertise on the part of the host and hostess on duty to manage the guests in a timely fashion. The following morning we also had breakfast scheduled in the same restaurant and had a similar experience with waiting (even with reservations) for what was a buffet breakfast with little need for wait staff. Very disappointing experience with that restaurant's handling of the customers. Will not recommend the restaurant to others.
I am a smoker and I think the smoking area at the entrance to the hotel should be moved away from the entrance to the other end of the covered area. I think this would make it more attractive to non-smokers.
I've never stayed in a hotel that was jam/packed with loud people and children running wild. We expected a lot of children but nothing like we experienced. Parking--$17/day and $15 resort fee-- what a rip off. Never again.
Excellent facilities, great staff, beautiful environment-- brought sons & grand kids, their first stay. Made a great impression on them. Hope to be back to play some golf someday soon.
A little pricey, but really no complaints
Worst dinner art the cantina cafe. One server for a 20 people table!!!
Extra fees and fees for parking
I love the decor and the balcony. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
I did not like the restaurants. Very pricey and food not tasty. Also a lot of walking for older people.
Lots of things to do.
Charge for parking as a guest.
Self contained for conference
Issue with price. I never got the conference price and received a rude response when I questioned it.
Everything. It was really beautiful with the Christmas venue.
Only disappointing thing..did not get the room I booked. I booked a room with 2 queen beds, got a room with 1 king bed.
