text: This week on The Glenn Show, the topic is political correctness. Amy and Glenn agree that it's a problem, and Amy stresses its bad affects in the university. Glenn asks what's wrong with ostracizing people who incite bigotry or hurt the feelings of others with their words. Amy illustrates her argument with the example of "food deserts." Glenn's concerns reach far beyond the college campus—he stresses that there's PC on both left and right. Even if some professors are politically biased, won't accurate research and data ultimately win out? And is political correctness the weapon of the weak or the intellectually lazy?

UW Leads Project to Use Gaming and Robotics to Boost Math Learning
December 3, 2013 — Can gaming and robotics be used to teach computational thinking skills to middle school students in culturally sensitive ways?
The University of Wyoming Foundation is an independent nonprofit corporation dedicated to securing, managing, and stewarding private gifts in support of the University of Wyoming's missions in teaching, research, and public service. Because UW is the state's premier four-year institution of higher education, private support from alumni and friends has never been more important.
Technology is the key to achieving the University of Wyoming Literacy Research Center and Clinic's mission of helping students and their families succeed through literacy.
"A big part of the fundraising effort (for the center) was to get technology so that we could better serve the state," says George Kamberelis, co-director of the center, "because if we don't have to drive to all of the places where we have partnerships with schools and community-based organizations but could communicate with our partners via distance technologies, then we could be much more effective and we could reach more people."
Kamberelis is one of two Wyoming Excellence in Higher Education Endowed Chairs in Literacy Education who will direct the center—Victoria Gillis is the other. Click here for more ...

November 2012 President's Address New Rules Approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing Reminder About Continuing Qualifications Requirements for Renewal of RN/LPN Licenses Board Meeting Notice Summary of Board Activities Updates to AORN Position Statement on RN First Assistants Electronic CDS Prescriptions Summary of Nursing Education Program Annual Statistics New Board Members Appointed by Governor Changes to Guidelines NCLEX Pass Rates Available for CY 2011 Peer Assistance Program Notice to Licensees Submitting Online Renewals Change of Address President's Address You Worked Hard to Get your License - Why Risk Losing It? by Liz Michael, MS, RN, Board President Your license is what defines you as a nurse. It is not only the key to your livelihood; it is how you are able to support yourself and your family. Without a license, you cannot practice the art of nursing or the skills you have worked so hard to learn, and perfect!! Here are a few suggestions to help you make the right choices to keep your license in good standing: Be informed: Know what your scope of practice encompasses, and never deviate from it. Stay up to date on any changes that legislation might affect your practice. Maintain professional boundaries: Refrain from sexual misconduct with patients. Be METICULOUS with medication management: Know the medications you are administering and document accordingly. Remember that if it wasn't documented, it wasn't done! Never divert or tamper with medications. Never willfully neglect or cause harm to a patient: Caring for a patient is a privilege, and should be done in a compassionate and competent fashion. Refrain from substance abuse: The use of alcohol, prescription drugs, or illegal substances has the ability to impair your judgment, thus making you a potential danger to the "public" or those you are trusted to care for. Remember to "Think before you drink"! Any substance that impairs your judgment makes you unsafe to practice. Finally, BE HONEST: Never falsify documentation, including your license renewal and/or any applications submitted to the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. Doing so is considered a violation of the Oklahoma Nursing Practice Act. Always read everything before you sign it - once you sign, you are attesting to the truthfulness of your answers in the document. These are only a few suggestions to help you make the right decisions about your nursing license. As a nurse you are a member of one of the most trusted professions. Embrace that trust and be accountable to your profession. Good Luck!


text: Last fall, the New York State Education Department released the results of a fourth-grade math test and eighth-grade math and language tests. It will come as no surprise to hear that the numbers for students in New York City were dreadful. About two-thirds of city eighth graders failed the English language arts test, and about three-quarters failed in math; half the fourth graders failed the math test. The results provided fuel for those who felt that New York City schools are underfinanced, that the city uses too many uncertified teachers, that academic standards are low, that junior high schools are neglected and that the tests themselves are unfair. There's some merit in all these notions. What was not said, however, was the obvious: that the city districts that performed poorly, like those that performed well, scored almost exactly as the socioeconomic status of the children in them would have predicted. You could have predicted the fourth-grade test scores of all but one of the city's 32 districts merely by knowing the percentage of students in a given district who qualified for a free lunch. Only a few dozen of the city's 675 elementary schools scored well despite high poverty rates. In other words, good schools aren't doing that much good, and bad schools aren't doing that much harm.

Simple, Effective Persuasion and CRO Practices for Your Website
Psychology, persuasion and CRO (conversion rate optimisation) are areas of online marketing and designing for the web that have always interested me. How do you get visitors to your site? Once they are on the site, how do you persuade them to perform an action? Whether that is to get them to sign up to an email list, purchase something, register for a free trial or numerous other actions.
UTM Parameters Explained With Practical Examples
When running an online marketing campaign it is highly likely you will distribute various pieces of marketing material in many places across the web. Let's say you place display ads of various sizes on a range of websites, place a feature about your product in your monthly newsletter and place an article and advert in the newsletter of an online industry magazine. Whilst it is easy to determine which channel is bringing in more traffic to your landing page (let's say email drives more traffic than advertising), how do you determine which newsletter is more effective? Yours or the online magazines? Or what banner size is most effective? This is where UTM parameters come in to play!
Why Landing Page Analysis Is The New Rank Tracking
For as long as the industry has existed, SEOs have been hung up on search engine rankings, with keyword tracking and position monitoring being regular website health checks. Most SEOs use automated software to check the rankings of websites for key search terms and use fluctuations in positions as a key indicator of performance.
However, is this really the best indication of performance in organic search? What does it really mean if you're ranking first for "fast food restaurant" and second for "really tasty burgers" if your audience is just searching for "McDonalds"?
Turning Google Analytics into a Webmaster's Tool Box (#brightonseo April 2013)
Today at BrightonSEO (the fastest growing SEO conference in the UK) I am giving a talk on turning Google Analytics in to a Webmaster's Tool Box. This post is here to cover everything that I'm talking about to make sure no one misses a tip! I've also included all the links in the slides to give you quick and easy access to Google Analytics Dashboards and a CRO Whitepaper.
What Is Universal Analytics And Why Is It So Awesome?
For many years now digital marketers, such as myself, have relied upon data from Google Analytics to help us understand the activity on our websites. The limitation with this is Google Analytics offers visit centric data meaning, that upon returning to our website, user interaction is tracked as a new visit… Enter Universal Analytics – A new technology within Google Analytics which allows us to track interaction on a website from a user centric approach.
MeasureCamp London – Brainstorming Event Tracking and Custom Variables
On February 16th 2013 I had the pleasure of attending the MeasureCamp London 'unconference' (where the agenda is made up on the day) along with over 100 other web analytics enthusiasts. In this post, I'm going to share my experiences and cover some of the tips discussed on the day, with extra tips and advice added here and there.
Server Response Codes And What They Mean
Over the life of a website you will be (if you manage it that is) presented with Server Response Codes or 'HTTP Status Codes' in regard to a lot of different elements of your site's functionality and maintenance needs. Quite often these are the largely well-known codes such as 404 errors and 301′s, but there are a whole world of other response codes that you may be presented with when you work on a site.
Why Emotion Drives Conversions
As marketers, we often focus on supplying prospects with in-depth information about our products and services to allow them to make an informed decision. Of course this usually contains a slight sales spin highlighting the benefits of our offerings so that an informed decision leads them to the right choice of picking our product. But is this the right approach?
The Complete Google Analytics Event Tracking Guide Plus 10 Amazing Examples

The Blue Wrap leather medical bracelets are the perfect choice for casual wear. We wrapped them nice and neat, but you can wrap them disorderly too! They can be wrapped once and the excess cut, or your style might be to wrap it multiple times. Choose from many colors in the ID or choose no ID and just wear the bracelet by itself or purchase one for a friend who might not have a medical condition. The Contempo ID offered with this bracelet is also interchangeable with all beaded bracelets, as well as the interchangeable medical bracelets. If three lines of engraving are not enough for your medical condition, you may order this medical bracelet without an ID on this page, and zip on over to this page and order the Max Contempo medical ID tag that allows for 4 lines of engraving!
All leather medical bracelets should be removed before showering or water activities.

To read these summaries categorized into a yearly newsletter, you can also review Research Round Up: News for Patients from the ASCO Annual Meeting.
Don't forget to check out audio podcasts and videos about this news, as well. And, in addition to the highlighted studies below, thousands of scientific abstracts are released each year at the ASCO Annual Meeting. To search the entire collection of meeting abstracts, visit ASCO's website.
In a new study, researchers found that spouses of patients with human papilloma virus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer were not more likely to have an HPV infection than the general population. Oropharyngeal cancer begins in the oropharynx, which is the middle part of the throat behind the mouth, and includes the base of the tongue, the soft palate, the side and back walls of the throat and the tonsils. HPV infection is very common among men and women in the United States and is a risk factor for several types of cancer, including oropharyngeal cancer. However, most people with an HPV infection will not get cancer. When a cancer contains signs of HPV, it is called HPV-positive.
Results from a new study show that the drug selumetinib keeps metastatic (cancer that has spread) melanoma of the eye from worsening and lengthens patients' lives. Melanoma of the eye (also called uveal melanoma) is a rare cancer. Most patients with uveal melanoma are diagnosed when the cancer is located in the eye. But, the cancer eventually spreads outside of the eye to other parts of the body in about half of patients, and these patients usually live about nine to 12 months after diagnosis, so a drug that can lengthen patients' lives is a major breakthrough.
Long-term follow-up of patients participating in an early study for advanced melanoma showed that nivolumab was able to shrink tumors and continue working for a longer time than other approved melanoma treatments. Nivolumab is a type of immunotherapy, a treatment designed to boost the body's natural defenses to fight the cancer. Specifically, nivolumab targets PD-1, which is found on the surface of tumor cells and prevents the immune system from destroying the cancer. Nivolumab stops PD-1 from working so the immune system can get rid of the cancer.
In a recent study, combining a high dose of ipilimumab (Yervoy) with GM-CSF (Sargramostim, Leukine) helped patients with metastatic melanoma live longer than those who received ipilimumab alone. Both ipilimumab and GM-CSF are types of immunotherapy, a treatment designed to boost the body's natural defenses to fight the cancer. Specifically, ipilimumab works to take the brakes off the immune system by targeting CTLA-4, a protein found on the surface of tumor cells that keeps the immune system from destroying the cancer. GM-CSF, on the other hand, is a growth factor that the body produces to help increase the number and function of white blood cells. It is commonly used to boost white blood cell counts after chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation.
Women with advanced ovarian cancer or a related gynecologic cancer who receive treatment with the targeted therapy pazopanib (Votrient) following successful chemotherapy lived longer without their disease coming back than those receiving a placebo (an inactive treatment, often called a "sugar pill"), according to the results of a recent clinical trial. Pazopanib is medication taken by mouth that focuses on stopping angiogenesis, which is the process of making new blood vessels. Because a tumor needs the nutrients delivered by blood vessels to grow and spread, the goal of anti-angiogenesis therapy is to starve the tumor.
In early, ongoing research, the drug, idelalisib helped to shrink tumors for patients with recurrent or treatment-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CLL is a slow-growing cancer and many patients do not need treatment until they start having symptoms. However, after treatment, most patients will have the disease come back, called recurrent or relapsed CLL. About 20% of patients will develop treatment-resistant or refractory CLL, meaning the disease comes back quickly or the original treatment did not work.
Most diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) that recur (come back after treatment) are found based on symptoms reported by patients, abnormal blood test results, or abnormal findings on a physical examination, rather than by a computed tomography (CT) scan, according to a recent study. DLBCL is the most common form of lymphoma and is typically curable. However, up to a third of patients will have the disease recur. A CT scan is a way to create pictures of the inside of the body and is currently recommended as a regular part of follow-up care for patients with DLBCL to watch for a recurrence.
Results from a long-term study on stage I seminoma show that surveillance, or watching for a cancer recurrence (cancer that comes back after treatment), is a safe option for most men. Seminoma is a type of testicular cancer that is generally slow growing and makes up about half of all testicular cancer diagnoses. In stage I seminoma, the tumor has not spread to the lymph nodes (tiny, bean-shaped organs that fight infection) or other parts of the body. Surgery is usually the first treatment given. Surveillance includes physical examinations and imaging and blood tests for five years. In the United States, about half of patients are monitored for a recurrence and the other half receives either radiation therapy or chemotherapy to help prevent a recurrence.
Results from an early, ongoing study suggest that pairing the drug ipilimumab (Yervoy) with a new drug called nivolumab works better to shrink advanced melanoma. Currently, ipilimumab is a standard treatment option for advanced melanoma in many countries. Nivolumab, when used by itself, has been shown to effectively treat melanoma, as well as other cancers, in previous studies. Both nivolumab and ipilimumab are types of immunotherapy, a treatment designed to boost the body's natural defenses to fight the cancer. It uses materials either made by the body or in a laboratory to improve, target, or restore immune system function. Specifically, nivolumab targets PD-1 and ipilimumab targets CTLA-4, which are both found on the surface of tumor cells and keep the immune system from destroying the cancer. These drugs stop PD-1 and CTLA-4 from working so the immune system can get rid of the cancer.
A new type of targeted immunotherapy (called MPDL3280A) was able to shrink several different types of cancer, including lung, melanoma, kidney, colorectal, and stomach cancers in patients whose cancer had worsened while receiving other treatments. Immunotherapy is designed to boost the body's natural defenses to fight the cancer. It uses materials either made by the body or in a laboratory to improve, target, or restore immune system function. Specifically, this new treatment targets PD-L1, a protein on the surface of tumor cells that prevents the immune system from fighting the tumor. Basically, this treatment stops PD-L1 from working, which then allows the body's immune system to fight the cancer.

A fantastically gripping thriller from the best-selling author of The Snowman.
Christmas shoppers stop to hear a Salvation Army concert on a crowded Oslo street. A gunshot cuts through the music and the bitter cold: one of the singers falls dead, shot in the head at point-blank range. Harry Hole—the Oslo Police Department's best investigator and worst civil servant—has little to work with: no suspect, no weapon, and no motive. But Harry's troubles will multiply. As the search closes in, the killer becomes increasingly desperate, and Harry's chase takes him to the most forbidden corners of the former Yugoslavia.
Yet it's when he returns to Oslo that he encounters true darkness: among the homeless junkies and Salvationists, eagerly awaiting a savior to deliver them from misery—whether he brings new life or immediate death.
With its shrewdly vertiginous narrative, acid-etched characters, and white-hot pace, The Redeemer is resounding proof of Jo Nesbø's standing as one of the best crime writers of our time.

Obama promises to 'stand alongside' civil rights lawyers 'every step of the way'
ABOVE PHOTO: President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder speak to the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
By Hazel Trice Edney
It was standing room only in the East Room of the White House. The passionate roar of conversations and the clink of forks filled the room. Then, a calm and burst of cheers and applause as the President strode onto the platform.
It was the 50th Anniversary of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, being saluted in a special White House reception by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder. Shoulder to shoulder, civil rights lawyers, LCCR staff, board members and supporters from across the country stood in the same room where President John F. Kennedy and then Attorney General Robert Kennedy first met with 244 lawyers, first establishing the committee amidst the civil rights battles in the summer of 1963.
With that historic backdrop and amidst major new civil rights issues a half century later, the guests in the packed room anticipated what this President would say in the August 1 reception.
"In this very room President Kennedy brought together some of our nation's top lawyers 50 years ago hoping to enlist them in the fight to make society more just," he said. "Looking back it is clear why President Kennedy, during one of the most turbulent times in our history, turned to this profession. He knew that the prize of equality would not be won only in the streets. But, it also had to be won in the courts and the state legislatures and in Congress. And he knew that in order to protect fair and equal access to justice, we needed to do more than just change minds, we also had to change laws."
It's been only eight months since the presidential election in which the Lawyers' Committee and others fought major court battles against new voting law that would have undermined the Black vote. And with the recent Supreme Court ruling that effectively gutted the pre-clearance mandate of the Voting Rights Act; plus new concerns about racial profiling and stand-your-ground laws, civil rights lawyers are as passionate as ever. A lawyer himself, President Obama acknowledged the challenging road ahead.
"From the Civil Rights Act, to the Fair Housing Act, to the Voting Rights Act, time and again, you have put your hands on the arch of history and bent it a little bit in the direction of justice. As Eric mentioned, we gather here today mindfully that our work is not yet done. There are basic rights like the right to vote that still have to be protected. There are too many Americans who are still facing discrimination," he said. "As we mark this anniversary, it's important to note that the civil rights movement wasn't just about racial equality. It was also about jobs, economic justice; the civil rights movement was about equal access to the courts, the full protection of our Constitution. Those are all things that continue to challenge us today. And the good news is that we have an organization like this that is able to mobilize and galvanize leadership from all across the country."
These were words of revival coming from America's first Black President, who only weeks ago candidly discussed the pain of racial profiling in America. At that time, he was opining on the reactions to the "not-guilty" verdict in the George Zimmerman second degree murder trial. Though less personal in his reception remarks, he was just as pointed.
"I'm confident that you will, like Eric and me and others, want to continue to make the law work for all and I want to thank you for what this organization has accomplished and I look forward to watching you accomplish even more and stand alongside you every step of the way."
Lauded by the President as having been among the original group convened by President Kennedy, a beaming U. S. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Robert Mucklestone, a Seattle attorney who is now a Lawyers' Committee trustee, were especially proud of how the organization has remained strong.
"It's amazing what the Committee does now," said Mucklestone in a brief interview. "It's gone way beyond what was envisioned at the beginning. They've gotten very, very talented people and of course Barbara does a spectacular job," he said, referring to LCCR Executive Barbara Arnwine, who has led the organization for 30 years.
Congressman Conyers, whose string of hallmark bills since his 1965 election, include the "End Racial Profiling Act" stressed the importance of the Lawyers' Committee for the past and the future. "What I want to see them do now is continue what they've been doing for these fifty years. To be invited to the White House by the President. These lawyers from all over the country, singled out for their civil rights work, is an honor that none of them will ever forget."
Other guests included civil rights royalty such as the SCLC Vice President Rev. C. T. Vivian, a lieutenant of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; former Md. Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the daughter of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy; and Va. Sen. Henry L. Marsh III, the first Black mayor of Richmond, Va., who once shared a law firm with the late Oliver W. Hill, one of the attorneys representing plaintiffs in Brown vs. Board of Education that ended the "separate but equal" doctrine.
In opening remarks, Arnwine focused mainly on the visionary work of the Lawyers' Committee.
"We, the board, staff and supporters of the great 'Kennedy Vision' that emanated from this room 50 years ago recognize the remaining immense challenge of achieving inclusion, racial justice and opportunity for all Americans," she said. "The overt and subtle racial discrimination and racial disparities of our time requires that the private bar brings the best of our talent and dedication to dismantling these barriers and combatting discrimination in any and all forms. It is our duty and responsibility as lawyers to build the bridges that will transition our nation to a powerful model for the world of racial, ethnic and gender equality, inclusion for all people, and economic and political justice."
The White House reception culminated a string of events celebrating the organization's 50th Anniversary this year under the mantra, "Moving America Toward Justice." The anniversary coincides with the 50th anniversary of the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom" coming up August 28.
"The East Wing of this White House is hallowed ground to the Lawyers' Committee," said Jane Sherburne, a Lawyers' Committee co-chair, told the crowd. "We were founded in this room 50 years ago at a time when our profession had not yet consciously recognized a role, much less an obligation, to defend the rights of Black Americans in a harshly segregated society," she said. "Mr. President, we have not stopped since…Last year, under the leadership of the lawyers in this room, we contributed more than 90,000 hours of legal services valued at $47 million dollars in support of Lawyers' Committee work."
Helping to recognize the work was Eric Holder, who just last week announced that he will pursue federal court permission to force Texas to "pre-clear" its new voting laws.
"Despite everything that the Lawyers' Committee and so many others have accomplished over the last half century, there is no doubt that our journey as a nation and as a people are far from over. So our important work must go on," he said. "I can assure you that this administration, this President and this Justice Department are firmly committed to using every tool at our disposal to continue to ensure that the civil rights and the voting rights of all Americans are protected."

Because we provide a vast range of holidays we are able to suit everyone's dream holiday and do our utmost to ensure you enjoy a unique experience.
How can we do that? Our Sales agents are dedicated and passionate about Cuba… actually most of them are Cubans themselves with extensive knowledge and experience in the travel industry in every sort of holiday: from a family experience to an independent traveller. No wonder we can proudly say we are the UK number 1 in Cuba Tailor-made holidays.
We offer excellent discount holidays using our website, although if you prefer some human interaction, we recommend you to give us a call for free 0800 056 0576. Also this way, we will be able to hear what is your definition of a "dream holiday" and give you personalised advice (and that also will cost you nothing!).
It means that when booking with us, you will enjoy your dreamed Cuba holiday paying for its real value cost!.
We are a long time running independent business. We have direct contracts with all major and smaller service providers (hotels and resorts, car hire, taxi and transfers). Many of our competitors do not have this luxury and are forced into selling holidays for a specific price. We guarantee the best price regardless of if you are looking for a Holiday Package or a fully Tailor Made holiday. Give us a call and we will beat any quote!.
Our work ethic is to support the local people and economy while promoting a sustainable tourism in this very unique Caribbean island.
We only buy services from someone we can trust. So we understand we must offer the same to these who buy from us: all our holidays we sell are financially protected by ATOL number 6346.
Arranging all travel elements for a group is a mammoth task and many things can go wrong. But with Cuba Direct no group is too big and we can work with all types of groups. We have work with many schools hence we understand about how demanding Health & Safety regulations can be. We have also brought rugby groups to Cuba and arrange friendly matches (not an easy task to manage 54 Scottish men!) and have provide full services including international flights to Salsa Groups, Cigar Aficionados, Bird Watching Clubs, Wedding Groups and many more. Essentially, it does not matter if you have your flights and you only want our help with land arrangements or if you have the most ridiculously complicated itinerary: we'd love to hear from you! Call us free and test our knowledge. You will not regret it. And last but not least, we have a full ATOL license which means all flight inclusive itinerary are 100% financially protected.
Cuba Holidays for couples only would seem easy to find on the internet. The difference with Cuba Direct is that we aim to beat any price and, even better, we will give you all those top-secret tips about where are the most exclusive places in Havana to dine or how to impress your partner with a complete off-the-beaten-track romantic Cuba holiday idea. With 5 Cubans in our sales team in London, we know that no other company will be able to offer as much advice as we do. However, we will always give you enough room for you to unwind at your own pace. We also have excellent contracts for adults-only hotels which means we will be able to adapt to your budget. Yes, we will accommodate to you, not the other way around.
At Cuba Direct, we have a few mothers and fathers so we understand how stressful could be at times travelling with kids. Please feel free to always ask for anything, it does not matter if it sounds silly. Many companies only provide prices and help to parents travelling with one kid. Well, Cuba Direct can certainly provide excellent deals for those with one child. But for those single parents and for parents with 2 kids or more, don't worry, we have some amazing deals too. Due to the complicated nature of contracts, all these excellent deals including FREE stay for children in certain hotels are only available over the phone. Call us free or leave us a message and we will call you back at a convenient time.
Certain companies promote their solo holiday like something special, as if they have negotiated something unique, something no-one else have. At Cuba Direct we prefer to tell you the truth which is that when a room is occupied on your own, you are not paying half the price or any special price. That is simply a lie. When you stay in a "single" room (please note that there is always 2 beds), you would pay what one person sharing with another one will pay plus between 20% and 30% on top. This is the case of Cuba but in many other places of the world the hotel will charge 100% of the room cost. Is this unfair? Well, not quite. If a room cost $100 the hotel will usually charge $50 per person (based on double) but if a person stays on his own, the costs are pretty much the same so at best it has to charge $70 effectively losing 30%. Sooo … don't fall for all those "specialists" claiming to have secured a price without single supplement as this is simply not true. Instead, take note of the price and give us a call. It's free and you will save money whilst getting loads of advice from the No. 1 Cuba holiday specialist in the UK.
We appreciate that some people have particularly busy and demanding jobs and that is why we have introduced the Cuba Direct Concierge Service. Our Concierge Service is truly unique in the sense that we will go to see you Anywhere, Anytime (*). We will also spend as much time as necessary as there is no limit to the time we can spend with you on a single visit. As long as you want to keep discussing your Cuba travel arrangements, we will be there. More than likely, you will speak to a Cuban … is it not that truly unique and exciting? Let us enlighten you with our Real-Life-Cuba-Encyclopaedia!. Because this is unique service, we have couple of requirements: - There is a £200 one-off charge which is payable before we go to see you. Payment will be taken over the phone. If you decide to go ahead with our quote, £50 will be returned. Fee covers a single visit only. - Anywhere, Anytime applies from 08:00 to 21:00 to only London post codes for now. However, we will consider coming to meet you pretty much anywhere in the UK. Call us for a quote.

John Feinstein is a BCS flip flopper
If there's anything that exposes hypocrisy and flip flopping, it's a debate about the BCS. This year's debate pits undefeated #2 Ohio State against 1-loss #3 Auburn. The intensity of this debate has stoked fires everywhere. Conference loyalties, regional differences, college football fans, traditionalists, revolutionaries, corporate interests, conflicts of interests, everywhere you look someone has a #hot #sports #take about this year's BCS quagmire.
Enter sports columnist, author, and longtime member of the sportswriting upper class, John Feinstein. He wrote a blistering column thrashing Ohio State for their strength of schedule and arguing on behalf of Auburn (and/or Missouri) leapfrogging the Buckeyes because they're more deserving of a national championship game appearance in his eyes.
Five years ago, Feinstein argued on behalf of an unbeaten Utah team being named National Champions instead of more fancied one-loss teams and said strength of schedule arguments were "bogus." It's a good old fashioned flip flop!!!
Here's John Feinstein in 2013, arguing that wins and losses don't matter as much as who you play:
