Dublin, Ohio - Of all the sacred Indian burial grounds in all the world, Jack Nicklaus had to build Muirfield Village Golf Club in Chief Leatherlips' backyard.
The Chief has never let him forget it.
It has been 37 years since the first Memorial Tournament was played on the course Jack built, and the supposed curse of the Wyandot chief who was executed in 1810 by his own tribe for being too friendly with the whites continues to pour torrents of rain on seemingly every golf tournament held here.
The legend is a hardy annual at the Memorial, where Nicklaus's wife, Barbara, once tried to bribe the deceased Chief (at the suggestion of Arnold Palmer's first wife,
Winnie) by making two trips to his burial site in 1993, each time placing a glass of gin on his grave, which is situated just beyond the far end of the practice area.
How she knew he wasn't a bourbon guy is anyone's guess. At any rate, the gift didn't work.
An Associated Press story in 1997 said the Golden Bear himself even drove Barbara over there on the second visit, though he feigned ignorance when quizzed about it by reporters.
And now rain has engulfed the Presidents Cup matches, where play was suspended for the second day in a row Friday - this time for two hours and 36 minutes - for a downpour of biblical proportions that dumped heavy rain on the grounds for more than an hour.
Play resumed at 5:45 p.m. local time, under lift, clean and place rules, with no hope of
finishing Friday's alternate-shot matches before dark. Saturday was already crammed to the hilt with two team-play sessions filling just about every available minute of daylight, and the forecast for Sunday, when there are 12 singles matches scheduled, is even worse.
Climate change? Bah, humbug. It never changes at Muirfield Village.

Full of musical numbers, dancing and more than a little touch of magic, this lively adaptation of the timeless fairy tale features all of the memorable characters and age-old lessons that has made "Beauty and the Beast" a favorite for countless generations. Plus, prior to every performance, there's an interactive arts workshop with mask-making and more. The story finds Beauty, unlike her sisters, too busy poring over her favorite books to search for her Prince Charming. But soon, finding love becomes the least of her worries when, to settle her father's debts, she is snatched away by a monstrous beast and locked inside his mysterious magic castle. In the end, both Beauty and the Beast learn valuable lessons about friendship and love -- and that true radiance comes from within.

Careless lovers taunt a fragile man with a treacherous dance that spins out of control. One man will triumph and both men will lose, several will squander their souls. Dark secrets lurk in the Hollow, echo through the woods and drive men mad. The crush of their steps as they run from the truth is deafened by their pounding hearts. Reckless they race although keenly aware that one false stride may lose them their head! Inspired by The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

Fifteen down, one to go.
Only one spot in the Class 4A east-side playoffs derby remains unclaimed.
Clinton (3-5) has the inside track. The River Kings are playoff-bound if they defeat Pleasant Valley in the final week of the regular season Friday.
Should Clinton fall (and Pleasant Valley is the favorite), it could open the door for Cedar Rapids Prairie. The Hawks play at Iowa City High. If Clinton loses and the Hawks win, they are in.
If both lose, the bid reverts back to Clinton, even if the River Kings and Dubuque Hempstead tie at 3-6 and 310 points.
That clarifies the bottom of the lineup. How about the top?
Linn-Mar (8-0) most likely earns the No. 1 seed if it wins at Cedar Rapids Xavier. The MVC Mississippi Division-champion Lions are projected to score 430 points, Cedar Falls (8-0) is projected at 425.
The Tigers host Iowa City West (6-2), with the winner earning the Valley Division crown.
Regarding the 10, 11 and 12 seeds: Cedar Rapids Xavier, Dubuque Wahlert and Cedar Rapids Kennedy all would finish with 5-4 records and 355 points. Xavier would have the top strength of schedule (opponents' records of 46-35), followed by 45-36 for Wahlert and 39-42 for Kennedy.
Here are projected first-round matchups, with this week's results projected by the BC Moore rankings:
#16 CLINTON (3-6, 310 points) at #1 LINN-MAR (9-0, 430 points)
#9 CEDAR RAPIDS WASHINGTON (6-3, 370 points) at #8 IOWA CITY WEST (6-3, 375 points)
#12 CEDAR RAPIDS KENNEDY (5-4, 355 points) at #5 IOWA CITY HIGH (7-2, 395 points)
#13 MUSCATINE (5-4, 345 points) at #4 NORTH SCOTT (8-1, 405 points)
#11 DUBUQUE WAHLERT (5-4, 355 points) at #6 PLEASANT VALLEY (7-2, 385 points)
#14 WATERLOO EAST (5-4, 345 points) at #3 BETTENDORF (8-1, 405 points)
#10 CEDAR RAPIDS XAVIER (5-4, 355 points) at #7 DAVENPORT ASSUMPTION (7-2, 385 points)
#15 DAVENPORT CENTRAL (4-5, 330 points) at #2 CEDAR FALLS (9-0, 425 points)
Curious to see what happens if there are no undefeated teams in the East>
"Curious to see what happens if there are no undefeated teams in the East"
A big confusing mess at the top.
If LM and CF lost, top 4 seeds would have same records but due to toughness of schedule, LM would still hang onto the 1 seed. But CF would fall to the 4 seed.
is it just me, or does it look like the #2 seed would have it easier than the #1 seed?
Would CR Washington play at Xavier if Linn Mar loses Friday?
I don't think so. If Xavier would beat Linn-Mar, they would probably only move up to 9th. Washington would probably move to 10 and go to Assumption. Still, too many variables to say for sure.
if Kennedy beats Wahlert like they are projecting, how would Wahlert get a higher seed if they lost the head to head?
If Xavier, Wahlert and Kennedy all finish at 5-4 and 355, then the next tie-breaker is opponent's W-L pct. If (and that's a big if) all games go the way the compute projects, Xavier's opponents would be 46-35, Wahlert 45-36 and Kennedy 39-42. There is no head-to-head between the three since Wahlert and Xavier did not play. You can't put them in order just because Xavier beat Kennedy and (IF!) Kennedy beats Wahlert.
I always thought this was kind of silly, but that's how they break three-way ties. In my opinion, at least, once you get one team out of the tie, head-to-head should come into play. But, it doesn't, unless the two teams left are still tied by opponents' record.
whats the best case senario for Kennedy?
Best CRK can do is the 11 seed. And that is only if CRW gets upset by W.West and CRK beats Wahlert. CRW would fall to the 12 seed and CRX, Wahlert, and CRK would move up one spot.
Charles, if CRX was able to beat LM and assuming all other games went as projected, CRX would move up to the 9 seed playing at IC West and CRW would fall to the 10 seed playing at Assumption.
If Kennedy beats Wahlert, and Dubuque Senior can defeat Waterloo East, Kennedy would get the 10 seed and probably play at Davenport Assumption. I think that's the best they can do. Barring some kind of crazy upset like LinnMar or Bettendorf or Wash losing, that is.
KidSilver, you are correct. I missed the Wat East loss giving them a losing record thus costing Wahlert and CRX points. CRK can get to the 9 seed with a Wat East loss and a CRW loss.

Comments about Acorn Snowline Boot Slippers - Women's:
These are simply too cute to just wear around the house. They don't have the best support (they ARE slippers, after all), but they have a durable enough sole to allow for casual outdoor wear. I wear them when I run to the grocery store, or to the farmer's market. Nice and warm-you don't need socks! These were an impulse buy, and I'm glad I got them.

Last weekend at a girls' basketball tournament, I found myself in a public restroom with my 12-year-old daughter and some other moms and pre-teens. I washed my hands and waved them under the paper towel dispenser to trigger the sensor.
Wave, wave.
Frantic jazz-hands wave.
Still nothing.
My daughter groaned.
"It's not that kind, Mom," she said, rolling her eyes. "Just pull."

I knew the minute I heard the clicking noise that it was all over.
My computer had been acting up for a couple days, running the fan more than usual, opening applications slowly. Not one to lose faith in my appliances, I'd just ignored it and hoped the problem would resolve itself.
For the past few weeks I've thought a lot about a twist on the popular saying, "don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes." The twist is this: After four weeks on crutches, I now better understand how it feels to be less than mobile.
Frankly, it's not that easy to get around out there.
"Legalize it!"
You don't see that bumper sticker on many cars in Vermont. But support for the legalization of marijuana is close to a majority sentiment, if the results of a recent statewide poll are to be believed.
The state Legislature is still taking a very cautious course toward decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana.
But according to this year's 42nd annual Town Meeting Day poll by Sen. Bill Doyle, a near majority of Vermonters favor not just decriminalizing marijuana, but legalizing it altogether.
Prior to March 30, the closest I had been as a journalist to anything presidential was Howard Dean's campaign kickoff in Burlington in June 2003. So, when an email from President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign offered press credentials to cover the president's appearance at UVM's Gutterson Field House last Friday, I took a shot. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to cover the first visit to Vermont by a sitting president in 17 years.
My Saturday morning went south the moment I found out I had not become a multimillionaire overnight.
Oh, I knew a single Mega Millions lottery ticket wouldn't give me a real chance at Friday night's record-setting $654 million jackpot.
But I didn't have just one ticket.
Last week, 20 of my fellow Addison Independent employees and I each threw $2 into an office pool. While one ticket offered only a 1-in-75-million chance of winning, we had 42.
It was all we could do not to clean out our desks Friday afternoon.
A recent New York Times article by Annie Lowry was titled "Big Study Links Good Teachers to Lasting Gain." The article was about how teachers who raise students test scores in elementary and middle school have a lasting impact on those students' lives in the form of raising their income, increasing their likelihood of attending college and lowering teen pregnancy rates.
I'm old enough that I sometimes look back on days gone by and wistfully express my longing for times past.
Well, I guess you don't have to be too terribly old to do that. I've heard my eight- and 10-year-olds deliver a significant pause and a hint of a sigh after recalling how things were back in the day, back when "Mawci" and "Dawci" would take the preschoolers at Mary Johnson out to play in the kiddie pool on hot summer days.
"Dear Mr. Dennis,
"I recently read your article in the Addison Independent issue dated March 1, 2012, about your thoughts at building a house in Vermont. I wish to take you to task.
"Some months ago you wrote an article about how you considered yourself a 'Vermontaholic' citing various attributes about Vermont with which you compassionately connected…
My wife Dottie and I were positively giddy.
Our first vacation sans kids (no offense, Diane and Mark) since 1998. So we booked, rather late in the game, a six-day stay at a resort in the Bahamas operated by a certain company named after casual, summertime footwear.
The promise: Plenty of peace, pampering and sunshine in a couples-only environment devoid of sippy cups, high chairs and pre-pubescent meltdowns.

The Changing Face of Global Governance: International Institutions in the International Legal Order
Friday 12 April 2013 until Saturday 13 April 2013
Keynote Lecture and Inaugural Oxford Global Justice Lecture - Patricia O'Brien, Under Secretary General for Legal Affairs and UN Legal Counsel
The conference will explore the changing nature of international institutions and their impact on international governance, international law-making and law-enforcement. International institutions have become 'a kind of superstructure over and above the international society of States' (Mosler, 1974, referring specifically to international organisations). In the past, the content of the term 'international institutions' was by and large exhausted by reference to international organisations. However, the term comprises today not only traditional intergovernmental organisations but includes an expanded range of formal and informal institutions of global governance. The conference will explore the full range of international institutions, including international judicial and quasi-judicial organs, which—even when they are (subsidiary) organs of an international organisation—have acquired a life of their own; conferences of parties with wide-ranging powers over the interpretation and application of international treaties; compliance mechanisms; hybrid organisations which provide vital content to generic provisions of international treaties; a system of international criminal justice diffused in States and complemented at the international level; non-governmental organisations; informal networks of regulators, and so forth.
Papers will examine the role of international institutions in making, developing, interpreting, applying and enforcing international law and thus shaping the legal landscape of international and transnational interaction in a globalised world. The conference theme explores the multifarious impact of ever-present international institutions on international law, both by querying their impact in the areas of law-making and law-enforcement and by tracing their presence and importance in 'sectoral regimes' of international law, ranging from the law of armed conflict to international economic and investment law, through to the global environment.
Co-Chairs of Conference Organizing Committee - Dapo Akande & Antonios Tzanakopoulos. For more information please contact: Jenny Hassan

Organised by the Oxford Law Faculty.

By June ConnerFor the Star-Gazette The increase in fines imposed last spring by the Beardstown City Council is thought to have dog owners more eager to obey the ordinance. Alderman Katie Vitale who sits on the County's Animal Control Board proposed the stiffer penalties and she believes that it is working to keep dogs at home. Vitale said, "There's not as many dogs running loose. The complaints have slowed down tremendously. People just can't afford the fines. We don't want the people to be afraid to walk down the streets."

FALMOUTH — The Cape Cod Marathon traces its roots to a raw December day in the late 1970s at Otis Air Force Base, when it was so cold that ice formed in water cups.
This weekend, the 36th renewal will unfold from the village green in downtown Falmouth as more than 3,400 participate in a two-day festival of feet.
What: Cape Cod Marathon, Half-Marathon, Marathon Relay and Clam Chowdah Challenge.
Where: Falmouth, starting and finishing at the village green.
Of note: November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and half-marathon sponsor Novo Nordisk has a team of runners in all the events supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund.
Online: capecodmarathon.com
This isn't the Boston Marathon, of course, and it's not the Falmouth Road Race. It is, however, one of the top regional events in New England run over a scenic loop bespeckled with the colors of fall and including Nobska Light and a seaside portion of the summer road race course.
Entries have been received from 39 states, Canada and seven other countries.
Ably organized by the Falmouth Track Club, under first-year director Matt Auger, the weekend includes three races: A field of 1,200 will compete Saturday morning in the Novo Nordisk Cape Cod Marathon Half; on Sunday morning, another 1,200 are entered in the full 26.2-mile marathon; and a marathon relay with 200 teams and 1,000 runners will be run simultaneously.
Then there is the Clam Chowdah Challenge for those gluttonous runners who are not satisfied with just one race. A total of 130 have entered both the half-marathon on Saturday and the marathon on Sunday.
For those who finish both, the reward for 39.3 miles is a commemorative T-shirt and a chowder bowl.
Auger is taking over for longtime director Courtney Bird, who stepped aside last year after three decades. Auger, who is supported by 800 volunteers, worked with Bird for five years and is no stranger to the local running scene, assisting for many years at the Falmouth Road Race and working with Dave McGillivray Sports Enterprises on several events.
More than $10,000 in prize money will be awarded. The men's and women's winners of the half and the marathon each get $500, and a $500 bonus will be paid for a course record.
The marathon records were set long ago. Randy Thomas, a world-class runner in the 1970s, ran 2:17.35 in 1986. Cathy O'Brien, a two-time U.S. Olympic marathoner, holds the women's standard of 2:37.06 from 1987.
The men's half record is 1:15:12 set by two-time champion Joseph Ekuom. Brielle Chabot set the women's half last year with a winning time of 1:18:55.

Pension Envy By Dave Johnson Campaign for America's Future January 11, 2011 - 8:10 AM ET http://ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2011010210/pension-envy Since the 80s many employers have stopped offering health care, pensions and other benefits to their employees. Many are also cutting pay and hours, while increasing the workload. So more and more people are hurting. As more and more of us fall further and further behind, corporate/conservative propagandists use resentment to drive anti-union feelings. They tell people to oppose unions, saying, "Why should they have it so good?" The real question you should ask is, "Why should we have it so bad?" The New Yorker's James Surowiecki, in "State of the Unions," examines why "public support for labor has fallen to historic lows." More than seventy per cent of those surveyed in a 1937 Gallup poll said they favored unions. Seventy-five years later, in the wake of another economic crisis, things couldn't be more different. ... In the recent midterm elections, voters in several states passed initiatives making it harder for unions to organize. Across the country, governors and mayors wrestling with budget shortfalls are blaming public- sector unions for the problems. And in polls public support for labor has fallen to historic lows. . . . In 2009, for the first time ever, support for unions in the Gallup poll dipped below fifty per cent. A 2010 Pew Research poll offered even worse numbers, with just forty-one per cent of respondents saying they had a favorable view of unions, the lowest level of support in the history of that poll. Surowiecki suspects that the gap between workers in and out of unions is the reason, Union workers, on average, get paid more than their non- unionized counterparts - most estimates put the difference at around fifteen per cent - and that wage premium widens during recessions. Similarly, union workers often still have defined-benefit pensions, which sets them apart from all those Americans who watched their retirement accounts get ravaged by the financial crisis. That's given rise to what Olivia Mitchell, an economics professor at Wharton, calls "pension envy." This resentment is most evident in the backlash against public-sector workers (who now make up a majority of union members). The problem is that working people feel increasingly powerless, and this weakens support for the very institutions that would, in better circumstances, come to their assistance: government and unions. Normally you would think that when people see that workers who are in unions have it better they would reach a simple and obvious conclusion: they should JOIN A UNION! DUH! But circumstances in our economy today lead people to the wrong conclusions. Today they see people who try to organize unions fired. They see whistleblowers persecuted. They see fellow employees lose their jobs for calling in sick or taking time off to care for a family member. They see people lose jobs for just reaching "a certain age." Many are even afraid to take vacations using time they have earned. And they don't see any way to do anything about it. Unions are unable to organize and workers are told facilities will close or their jobs will be moved overseas. Government inadequately enforces its own laws, or blatantly favors the wealthy and powerful. People don't feel that elections make any difference. So workers don't see any help on the horizon. Crabs In A Bucket Meanwhile many public employees still have unions, so as a result they in many cases have pensions, health care plans and dignity on the job. People look at that and the temptation toward "crab mentality" is strong. The corporate/conservative anti-union propagandists see an opportunity to set working people against each other and strike at support for unions: Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither should you." The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs. Individually, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition (or sabotage) which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise. The analogy in human behavior is that of a group that will attempt to "pull down" (negate or diminish the importance of) any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of jealousy, conspiracy or competitive feelings. This term is broadly associated with short-sighted, non- constructive thinking rather than a unified, long-term, constructive mentality. It is also often used colloquially in reference to individuals or communities attempting to "escape" a so-called "underprivileged life", but kept from doing so by others attempting to ride upon their coat-tails or those who simply resent their success. The other day in Understanding The Attacks On Public Employees, What do we see if we look around at the state of the economy? Stocks are soaring, corporate profits are way up, Wall Street gets trillions in bailouts and pays millions upon millions in bonuses. But regular people are having a hard time making ends meet and unemployment is still through the roof. Instead of programs to create jobs, stop foreclosures and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure the government passes more tax cuts for the rich. A few Wall Street and big-corporate types are getting very rich (richer) at the expense of the rest of us. If you are sitting pretty on Wall Street, you probably don't want people thinking about these contrasts too much. "Look Over There!" How do you get regular people to "look over there" with all of that going on? Simple: launch a big campaign to blame the librarians, firefighters and other public sector workers for the hard times. "don't blame US," Wall Street says, "Look over there!" Blame the economy's victims for economic crimes. And, do you know what? This is a strategy that is proven to work every time. So the corporate/conservatives pit people against each other, hoping to provoke the behavior of crabs in a bucket, instead of reaching the correct conclusion: stand together and join a union and fight for your rights and a share of the pie and you can have it better.

Fractured State is an RTS game chronicling a civil war in the country of Laperia. In the Summer of 1195 the Ritualist followers of Jefferson Kimmel consolidate in the northern provinces and, along with constables from several city-states, cede from Laperia and form the nation of Kalen. Executor Sor, the Imperialist leader of Laperia, swiftly declares all out war while Kimmel mentors his followers on how to harness the technology of a mysterious ancient civilization.
I made a quick video demo of the new terrain texture painting system.
Posted by Kelso on May 21st, 2012
Sorry for the lapse in updates. The past couple of weeks were spent pulling out the old terrain painting system and developing the one shown in the video below. The goal was to emulate the functionality of a Photoshop brush as much as possible and I think it feels pretty good thus far. This system is a bit more resource intensive compared to the last one so my next goal is, as part of the map publishing process, to dump the final color data for each mesh chunk into a flat file and then use a simpler diffuse shader in the actual game. This will add a little overhead to the map loading process but the trade off in performance will be worth it.

Mine is from The Modern Mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim's bar line!
The Ultimate Bar: Muddler
With spring break narrowing in on us, (woo-hoo! even though I'm not in school anymore I celebrate spring break each year by spending a long weekend away), it's the appropriate time to stock up on a bar tool that you will use a lot once the warm weather hits hard. A muddler is essential to making juicy, refreshing mojitos and caipirinhas. Sure you could substitute a long wooden spoon, but I find nothing crushes a lime and releases the essence of mint as well as a muddler. The handy, crushing one I have at home is this simple beachwood muddler. It's $5.00, a pretty reasonable price considering all of the use you'll get out of it and I get double the use out of mine by using it as a pestle to crush herbs and spices. I prefer wood over any other material because it's easy to clean and will last forever. However if you want something a little more fancy, check out these options and read more

Pamida now Shopko
SUPERIOR — The transition of the Pamida store here into a Shopko Hometown location now is complete.
Following the 2012 merger between the two companies, all Pamida stores now are Shopkos.
Larry Lunzer, manager of Superior's Shopko Hometown at 1150 E. Third St., said employees were notified of the merger Jan. 15, 2012. Remodeling of his store occurred throughout December following a Pamida liquidation sale that began Sept. 9.
The grand opening for the Superior Shopko is today.
The only other Tribland Shopko store is a pharmacy in downtown Smith Center, Kan.

Interview with Ryan Knapp of NPSL
Filed Under Career, Interviews
Ryan Knapp of the National Premiere Soccer League took the time to answer some questions about his position and sports PR, including blogger relations, with SPRB. I thought his career-related responses were a great fit for this week's Career Help 101 Series so I wanted to use it as a kick off for the rest of the series.
1) According to your LinkedIn profile, you started a soccer blog entitled Center Holds It that eventually led to your current position as director for the National Premiere Soccer League. What made you decide to start the blog and how did that get you into the PR side of soccer?
I started the blog upon moving back to the US from living a year abroad in Spain. I realized (and still do) that there is a lack of quality La Liga (Spanish First Division) coverage in the US, especially in English. So, I decided to fill that void and start Center Holds It, along with two amazing writers, Jeff Bull and Breton Bonnette. We wrote for about one year, and then CHI moved over to BigSoccer, where it remains today in Breton's hands.As I started to write, it soon dawned on me that I wanted to make this into a career. I quickly looked for an internship with a professional soccer club, and found a NPSL club in my hometown of Buffalo, NY. With only writing experience to back me up I contacted Christopher Keem, who was GM of Queen City FC. We talked, and I was made Director of Media Relations for Queen City, as a volunteer position. Volunteer or not, the position sucked me in 100% and I found myself completely engaged, and loving what I was doing.
After my first season with QCFC, the executives at the club decided to fold it. I took it upon myself to become Pres/GM and resurrect the club. I did just that – turning the club over to a new owner and renaming the club, Buffalo City FC.
With the transition complete in Buffalo, I had already taken a seat on the Executive Committee of the NPSL as Secretary and continued to be involved with the league. In March, the NPSL created a Director of PR position, and I applied and was lucky enough to be granted the opportunity with the league.
2) You have a wide-ranging list of responsibilities with your current post, including media relations tasks (e.g. writing press releases, transcribing quotes, etc.) and maintaining the website (e.g. writing content, producing podcasts and video, etc.). What prepared you to handle all of these responsibilities and do you find it challenging to balance all of them?
Planning is absolutely key. After the NPSL decided to hire a Director of Public Relations, I was quickly thrown into a whirlwind of ideas, thoughts, jobs and planning for a season that began before I even knew it. The classic mistake is stretching yourself too thin and starting 100 tasks without completing one, so I started out small and attempted to keep my ideas in check, at least until the season is over.
It was extremely difficult to come into the position two weeks before the season began, as I played/am playing catch-up throughout the entire season. As the season ends August 1st, I cannot wait to sit down and chart out a plan for the next year.
On a personal level, my key to focusing and handling loads of responsibilities is to meditate. 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes at night allows my body and my mind to sort through whatever is clouding my ability to work to my fullest potential. It helps me to maintain focus throughout the day when it might be easy for your mind to stray.
3) As someone who used to be a blogger, what is the best way for a team or league to reach out to sports bloggers? What do you think are the most effective tactics?
You need to interact with your blogging audience. Sending out press releases without even reading a blog is a huge mistake. Engage your bloggers, ask questions, pose solutions, and encourage them to write about what you are doing. If you know them on some sort of level, you have already made important headway.
It is also important to treat bloggers like you do any other media. You need to invest time in getting them the correct information, helping them with questions, giving them access to games, just as you do any other reporter. In soccer, more people get their news from message boards or blogs than newspaper articles any day of the week, so this is an issue that is important to embrace.
4) You work for a young league that has been around for less then a decade. What are the challenges you face trying to raise the league's profile and how have you used PR to do so?
Anyone that works in soccer faces the same challenges, regardless of the league. Back five years ago, the running joke was to mock the sport as a 'wussy' form of American Football and that sterotype caught on and remained.
In our current situation the game is gaining steam. ESPN is actually showing highlights outside of the Champions League, even in their normal broadcasts. Media personalities are not perceived as funny anymore if they crack a soccer joke as they were five years ago because the game has outgrown that terrible stereotype of being a 'wussy' form of American Football.
In growing our league, the hardest part is communicating to fans and people about who we are and our skill level. Our league is not a rec league, or some Sunday pub league, but rather our players are looking for professional contracts, or in some cases, our players have played professionally in the United States and abroad. Too many soccer fans still do not support their local clubs, so the hardest part is to get these fans to come out and support their teams, which makes the league stronger.
It is important to use all sorts of PR to disseminate your information. The normal big two (Twitter and Facebook) have been helpful, along with starting a blog. As I said before, after the season is over I look forward to developing bigger and better ways to use PR to highlight the National Premier Soccer League.
5) As a young PR director (just 25 years-old), where do you see yourself in five years?
Only one thing is for certain, I'll still be involved in the game of soccer. The rest, we'll just have to wait and see.

The issue in this article is not who won the debate. The issue is the irony of these 20 students with reserved seats for the debate being kicked out by "prominent Republicans." The sense of entitlement which comes with undeserved position, which allowed people to dismiss our Memphis students, is truly disgusting. I would love to have the names of the 20 Republicans who took our student's seats. And note, these are OUR students, meaning, paid by and belonging to the Memphis community.

Disasters Preparedness and Mitigation - Issue No. 03 - December, 1979 (PAHO-OPS, 1979, 8 p.) |
In its 4 October, 1979 meeting, the Directing Council of PAHO resolved to thank the Director for the development of the program for preparedness and disaster relief, and for its services to member countries to date. It also urged member governments to establish programs for planning, training and coordination of disaster relief. It also resolved to request the Director to maintain, strengthen, and concentrate the Organization's efforts in areas of need in the health sector, damage assessment, and rehabilitation projects in the fields of preparedness and assistance in disaster.
WHO, Geneva is planning a 10-day seminar in Brussels, Belgium tentatively scheduled for October, 1980, in English, for senior administrators charged with the responsibility for the provision of health services after a disaster has occurred. As details become available, the Newsletter will provide them.
A joint meeting of the International Federation of Surgical Colleges and the World Health Organization, Geneva, is scheduled for 1-4 September, 1980 in Geneva, Switzerland. A main topic for discussion is to be "The Role of Surgery in and after Major Disasters." For further information, contact John Cook, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, 18 Nicolson St., Edinburgh EH8 9DW Scotland.
PAHO is preparing a manual for relief operations management personnel of disaster-prone countries that will provide practical information on the requisition, inventory, storage, and distribution of medical supplies. The PAHO Manual on Management of Medical Supplies during Natural Disasters will be ready for distribution late 980.
Copies of health sector disaster plans are being received from member countries. We urge disaster coordinators of member countries to forward copies of their health sector disaster plans to the editor. A compilation of these will be assembled, and notice of their availability will be forthcoming. Sharing these plans will be productive not only that we may all learn from one another, but that as we need to assist one another during disaster operations, we may be aware of existing plans in the affected country.
PAHO has assisted with the translation from English into Spanish of "Country Fact Sheets" on Latin American disaster-prone countries. These were compiled by the League of Red Cross Societies, Catholic Relief Services, Lutheran World Federation, Oxfam, and the World Council of Churches. These Fact Sheets provide basic information and demographic data as well as information on diet, nutritional deficiencies, common illnesses, health services, medical supplies, capacity for handling refrigerated drugs. Fact Sheets are available on request from the editor of the Newsletter.
The senior staff members of PAHO in the Caribbean met in November, 1979 in Barbados to discuss issues pertaining to disaster management and training needs. Similar conferences are planned for Central America and the Andean Region staff in 1980.
A nursing seminar is planned for April, 1980 for regional Caribbean nurses in disaster. A separate seminar scheduled in August. 1979, on the island of Dominica was interrupted when Hurricane David struck the island on the second day of the seminar. The experiences of the seminar participants during and immediately after the disaster impressed upon them the need for a training program in preparedness and planning to ensure health care delivery in the emergency phase of disaster.

in response to disgusted1982:
Its a fact that their are more tribal hatcheries than state ones. Its a fact that the state fishery takes more fish than all the tribal fisheries combined! State fisheries are more aggressivly run and poorly managed with low catch reporting in the end. If the tribes weren't involved in enhancement and protection, the state would have wiped out this fishery long ago. How are hatchery fish "tax payer supplied?" Do your homework before you start spouting your ignorant comments!
I'm not ignorant but you must be - you're also not speaking of Hood Canal specifically as I was, your also confusing wild fish with hatchery raised fish and equating them - they are not the same thing.
Have you ever fished on Hood Canal in the fall? It's all gillnets - All tribal. There is NO WAY the state non-tribal sport fishery catches more fish than the tribes in nets (And talk about under reporting catches...). I am on the Canal all the time and I assure you, I am usually alone and driving past endless nets up/down the canal.There is no non-tribal commercial fishery in Hood Canal.
Nobody cares about the fish - the WILD fish just lose. Hatchery fishing isn't how we should be managinmg the salmon runs. We need wild runs to be re-established, and thats never gonna happen with hatcheries and state and tribal mis-management and commercial fisheries.
OH, and while you calling me ignorant and saying things like "How are hatchery fish "tax payer supplied?" " Here you go:
The Hatcheries Division is the largest single component of WDFW's Fish Program, with 283 FTE employees and a total operating budget of $64.6-million during the 2009-2011 Biennium, including $10.4-million from the State General Fund.

iPod Classic wont Sync
I had a new iPod Classic 80GB for Xmas and all was working fine until I recently decided to reimport alot of my music into iTunes at Apple Lossless from the original CD's.
As i was doing it i soon realised that my laptops weedy 40GB HDD would not hold the amount of songs I wanted so I bought a 500GB portable HDD (I wont bore you with the details as thats not what I want to know about).
So i manually managed my music whilst i was reimporting and fiddling about with things so i could still use my ipod, eventually after many days of reimporting CDs and songs from my collection and borrowed from friends my big day came and I clicked sync ipod (and here's my problems began).
It managed to sync about 200 or so songs onto my ipod before it stopped dead and came up with error 50 (or something similar) saying that the harddrive could not be found. So i ejected my ipod and it began to reset itself so then i had no music on my ipod. I repeated this process many times and i updated all my itunes software and ipod software but still the same error of harddrive cannot be found.
So i returned my ipod to John Lewis where i bought it from in November last year and they told me thay had to send it back to Apple so the did (this was two weeks ago). They then rang me today and said that the ipod was fine Apple had said it was fine and John Lewis has checked it and found no problems, so they cannot exchange my ipod.
Where do I stand now? I have an ipod that clearly is good for not much more than and ornament and they can see no problem with it? Should I get my ipod back and photograph my laptop while the error is being displayed? Or has someone out there got a magic solution for me to fix my ipod?
All help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks Ben
At the risk of the wrath of the cable-police descending.... i've heard of several cases of this where a faulty USB cable is to blame.
Evidence, if further evidence were required, that cables are a crucial part of your system.
But addressing the issue, having done a migration between hard drives in iTunes, I would first check that iTunes thinks all the files are in the place they are - I had big issues with this, and ended up having to delete the library files and do a consolidation before iTunes knew correctly where everything was. Unless I misread and its the iPod that can't find its own hard drive, in which case, yeah - you're stuffed.
Thanks for your quick reply, I dont think that it can be the cable or a problem woth my 500GB HDD because i have tried my mums 2nd Generation 8GB Nano and that synced until the ipod was full. I used the same cable and same HDD.
As i beleive it the error that i get refers to the ipods HDD not being found becuase it sometimes also says ipod not found.
Do i have a legal right to a new ipod or can the keep sending it back to Apple to run a diognostic?
Thanks Ben
Have you flashed the iPod software with the latest version?
I have just downloaded iTunes 7.6.2 which i beleive to be the latest version unless i am very much mistaken, before i sent my iPod away i restored it and searched for new software and it had the latest 1.1 (I think but dont quote me on this)
Excuse my ignorance by flashing you mean simply installing the latest iPod software?
Thanks Ben
On the iPod itself, yes.
Can you confirm that iTunes thinks all the files are where they should be? Ones which don't will have a little icon next to them.............
Can you confirm that iTunes thinks all the files are where they should be? Ones which don't will have a little icon next to them.............
Yes all of the songs play in iTunes itself so iTunes knows where the files are. Also all of my music is in one folder on my HDD and itunes is set to that folder
Is it worth a factory reset as described here. Sorry if you've already done this, not sure from the post...
Unfortunately iv already tried with no success.
I've have just downloaded the latest version on itunes and i will update the software on my ipod when i get it back tomorrow.
Hmmm, well if the latest software doesn't fix it, I'm stumped... can you get to an Apple store? You could book a session at the Genius Bar and show them your problem first hand. Of course if it works fine there, you know then something else in your system is screwy, not your iPod...
Thanks ill contact my local Apple Store and see what they have to say. I had throught the same as you (that it might be a problem with my system somewhere) however i have still been running my brothers iPod shuffle 2Gen from my laptop and i borrowed an iPod Nano 2Gen 8GB and that worked just fine it filled up until there was no more room, and i used the same set up and the same USB cable.
Thanks for everyone help ill contact Apple latyer on today and ill keep you all informed on the problem.
Thanks again Ben
MY iPOD IS FIXED
Well i said that i would keep you all informed about my iPod troubles so here goes.
After Apple having run a diognostic and finding nothing wrong with my iPod I went to fetch it today from John Lewis and they had basically restored and updated the software on my iPod the exact same thing that I did before it went away. When I got home i downloaded and reinstalled the latest version of iTunes that was released while the iPod was away and by some kind of a mirical my iPod now works absolutelly fine.
Thanks to everyone who tryed to help me out with this problem you have all been a real help.
Really pleased that your iPod is working again, at least you proved that you should never give up and it is nice to have so many people on this site, who will do all they can to help you with your iPod tecno problem.
Hurrah! Damn software
Enjoy now you're sorted - and keep both ends updated!

Slideshow: Celebs thrash Harlow Police in seven-goal thriller
HARLOW bobbies took a sound beating on the football pitch yesterday (Sunday, August 5) when they took on a Celebrity XI team to raise over £1,300 for charity.
TV presenter and local boy Jeff Brazier, Big Brother favourite Victor Ebuwa and a host of other familiar faces from programmes including Sky 1's Dream Team barely built up a sweat as they cantered to a 6-1 victory over Harlow Police FC.
Hundreds of spectators turned out at The GPCA Link on Parsloe Road to cheer on the players, who were raising money for Passmores Academy teacher Jules Ruddick's Lupus Five Appeal and the Bishop's Stortford-based Animal Rescue Charity.
Jules, who played the second half for the Harlow Police team, said he was "chuffed" by the huge turn-out.
"It was so well supported by everyone Passmores students and staff, the police, the celebrity team, The Link and the community as a whole - it was brilliant," he told the Star.
"I am so appreciative to everyone who came down and helped us to raise such a fantastic amount either by watching or playing. There was a great atmosphere and everyone seemed to have a really good time.
"The only thing I would have changed was the score we seemed to take a bit of a thrashing!"
Actor and producer Simon Cummins, who has managed the celebrity team in the annual charity match for a number of years now, said he was pleased to be able to support two good causes.
"I chose to help the Animal Rescue Charity as I know from personal experience about the great job they do and it was the police who nominated Jules's Lupus Appeal, which also seems incredible.
"Lupus seems to be one of those diseases that a lot of people don't know about and yet anyone could be affected by it, so it was great to be able to also raise awareness of it.
Simon added: "I was certainly 100 per cent happy with my team's performance.
"We all absolutely love playing the police and thought they were particularly good sports this year to have lost as badly as they did!"
Manager of the poilice team Stuart Burt added his thanks to everyone who had helped make it "such a successful day".
"It wasn't the best of results for the police team but more importantly a fantastic £1314 was raised for the Lupus Five charity," he said. "Both teams have also signed a football, which will be auctioned by the Lupus Five to raise more money.
"I would also like to thank the celebrities, the officials and the Link Sports and Social club whose precious time and support made this day possible. Thanks also go to Harlow Television for filming the match and my team and I would like to wish Jules Ruddick and the Lupus Five all the best for their charity event in September."

Voices of Change / Dallas Symphony Orchestra
2013 Texas Young Composers Project
The Texas Young Composers Project is intended to identify and encourage exceptionally talented young composers in Texas.

A Heritage Left by Russell Horn
The Young Composers Project continues the Voices of Change tradition
of The Annual Russell Horn Young Composers Competition which was established
in 1998 by Russ Horn (1916-2006). He was a board member, treasurer,
box office manager, donor and volunteer for Voices of Change for over
twelve years. Russ donated the prize money for the competition every
year and it was named in his honor. To continue this tradition, his
daughters, Linda Horn and Janet Horn Hemming, continue to donate the
prize money. Russ left a legacy worthy of our classical music community.
Jamie Allen, Director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Education Department,
our collaborator on this project staring in 2006, expressed his commitment
to the Young Composers Project:
"I can't think of two things that go much better together than
young people and new music. Music is the way we can express the inexpressible,
and every student I've ever worked with has had something unique and
inexpressible inside them that was just dying to get out. I have reveled
in the chance to experience the scores of the many talented young composers
we have in North Texas, and am excited at the prospect of hearing an
ensemble of the caliber of Voices of Change perform the selected works.
I encourage everyone with even a passing interest in self expression
and evolving culture to join me in this experience."
Please share this information with all music students, music teachers
and music department heads who know young composers in North Texas.

Ciao Vecchio means, "good-bye to problem solving." Named so because, apparently, the chalk gremlins have come out en mass to show you, step by step, tick mark by tick mark, which holds to grab. Stevie Wonder could red point this climb. Ciao is so well mapped out, in fact, that personally I'd drop it a grade, maybe two. (But I'll let the official "11a" grade stand here. Just sayin' it's REAL soft.) Move up a low-angle ramp until the wall steepens and the pockets deepen. Paint by numbers up the tick marks, roll up until the wall hangs over, then pop right into a shallow, micro dihedral with good edges. Clip, then do please try to scratch out all the road signs on the way down. Pee on the wall if you have to.
Just up from the "Atena Wall," low on the shady, northern facing side of Odyssey. About a dozen lines up from the very first line on Odyssey, Ciao Vecchio is well-marked in near the base of the wall.
About 10 plus quickdraws with a 2-bolt/2-'biner anchor. Moves are etched in brail.

'Henry's Crime' Dated for Blu-ray
Tue Jul 12, 2011 at 01:00 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Fox (all tags)
The outrageous crime caper from acclaimed indie filmmaker Malcolm Venville ('44 Inch Chest') has been announced for Blu-ray next month.
In an early announcement to retailers, 20th Century Fox/MGM have revealed 'Henry's Crime' will have a Blu-ray release on August 23.
"With a terrific cast led by Keanu Reeves ('The Matrix Trilogy'), Vera Farmiga ('Up in the Air') and a splendid James Caan ('Misery'), 'Henry's Crime' is a fun comedy with irresistible heist and heart" (Boxoffice Magazine).
Reeves stars as Henry Torne, a wrongly accused man who winds up behind bars for a bank robbery he didn't commit. After befriending a charismatic lifer (Caan) in prison, Henry finds his purpose — having done the time, he decides he may as well do the crime. But his outlandish plan to rob the very same bank spins wildly out of control, as he finds himself performing in a stage play and falling in love with the production's seductive leading lady (Farmiga).
The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack, and there doesn't appear to be any supplements.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $29.99.
You can find the latest specs for 'Henry's Crime' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it is indexed under August 23.

Last year, Buick sold 177,633 vehicles in the States and 645,537 cars in China, with the Excelle, which is the local version of the Verano sedan, taking the first spot overall in the passenger car segment.
Cadillac, on the other hand, delivered 152,389 vehicles in the U.S. but only about 30,000 in the world's most populous country, despite an increase of 73 percent over 2010.
Given China's thirst for luxury products, it is no wonder that General Motors would like to repeat the success of Buick with its flagship brand.
According to General Motors CEO Dan Akerson, who was speaking on the company's first quarter earnings call for 2012, there is a plan in motion to boost Cadillac's sales in China six-fold in the next few years.
"We'd like to be in the 150,000 to 180,000 range within the next three to five years," said Akerson. We're serious about this, and we think we'll have the right products for that market, as well."
GM's CEO pointed out that this is a very important strategic move for Cadillac as half of all luxury purchases in the world, all categories not just cars, are predicted to occur in China by the end of the decade.
"The key for us in China has been to stay in offense, which is why I traveled to Beijing auto show last week and announced that we will add an additional 600 dealers in China this year and add one new Cadillac model to our lineup in China each year through 2016"
Akerson said that first new model is the XTS luxury sedan, which will go into production at the company's Shanghai GM facility later this year, followed by the ELR electric coupe in the very near future.
"We want Cadillac to be big and important in China," he added. "Even at the current scale, it is a profitable business and we absolutely want to grow that. Our peers get significant profit contributions from premium brands, and we want to do that too."

Giant Rotting Fingers Count Down to Walking Dead's Return One more lopped off each day until Sunday
Toronto's Union Station has been graced by this cool "zombie hands" installation for The Walking Dead that loses a finger every day until this Sunday, when Season 3 returns to the air. I wonder who's in charge of removing the fingers. Does the agency make some intern walk down there every morning and do it, or is it some Union Station janitor's responsibility? I also wonder who's in charge of calming down any children who happen to walk past. Those without impressionable youngsters at home can tweet #TWDFeb10 for a chance to win one of the giant fingers, which would make a great ottoman. I hope they make a big show of the daily dismemberment since this ad is more interesting than the show has been for a while now. Agency: Leo Burnett in Toronto. Via Copyranter.

Viewing History
Original post by Josh,
Why won't my MacBook Pro power on?
I have a early 2008 15" Macbook Pro. It's got the 2.5 Ghz C2D. I received this unit for free because it won't power on.
I ordered a new "T" Magsafe adapter right away and tried it. I get no light on the Magsafe adapter. I tested the Magsafe on my other Macbook Pro and it works fine. I also tried the "L" new style Magsafe Adapter on the broken MBP. No light.
So I took it apart and removed the Left i/o Magsafe board. I purchased a good known working replacement. I just installed that today and I still get nothing. No light on either Magsafe Charger. So it appears that the SMC isn't activating the Magsafe board. Unfortunately the battery was completely depleted when I received the unit, so I can't test that.
I'm trying to restore this to good working health. Does it look like I need to buy a new Logic Board or are there other things that I can try? I did reset the SMC and that didn't do anything. I'd appreciate your input!

Kirke injury a bad one - McDermott
Leeds Rhinos coach Brian McDermott has revealed forward Ian Kirke stopped breathing after being knocked out in a sickening clash at Huddersfield.
The 31-year-old was taken to hospital after receiving lengthy treatment on the field following a collision with Luke O'Donnell in the Rhinos' 48-24 Stobart Super League loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Kirke was discharged after being cleared of serious injury but McDermott said there were difficulties during the 10-minute stoppage before the player was carried off on a stretcher.
McDermott said: "He is up and about but he has still got a few little bluebirds swirling around in front of his eyes.
"It was a big one. He was out for a couple of minutes and I think he stopped breathing for a period of time - that is the news from the medical staff, that they had a bit of a job on out on the field.
"They spent a lot of time with him and they were shoving things down his throat.
"It was a weird situation because he was fighting back at the same time; he wasn't quite sure where he was.
"But he has come round this morning and is already putting his hand up to play next week."
Leeds, the reigning Super League champions, must now pick themselves up from the defeat as they take on Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in the play-offs at Headingley Carnegie this Saturday.
Whether or not Kirke is fit to play will depend on assessments throughout the week.
McDermott said: "There is procedure we will have to go through and he will have to go through certain things.
"We will only play him if he is 110% fit but we are thankful he has come through okay.
"He is a tough hombre, a tough dude. This has happened to him this season before. He's had a clattering and he's not being clattered backing out of tackles.
"He's giving it some, carrying the ball and having a go. Sometimes when you do that you offer yourself, which is a brave thing to do."
O'Donnell was sent off by referee Thierry Alibert for his involvement in the incident, and in bizarre circumstances after it initially seemed he had been warned.
The Australian forward was then substituted but recalled to the field by Alibert and shown the red card.
However, O'Donnell has now won an appeal against his dismissal after a disciplinary panel found the collision to have been a clash of heads.
Another player who could return for the Rhinos this weekend is stand-off Danny McGuire, who has been out for almost five weeks with a knee injury.
McDermott said: "He has a chance of being fit this weekend. He has been really good for us this year; he's very influential in what we do, still scoring lots of tries.
"But it has to be said, he is not going to be the saviour. We have got to be careful about heaping too much pressure on him.
"Had he played yesterday I'm not sure he would have been able to prevent us losing - but he will certainly add to what we do."
Forward Brett Delaney could be doubtful with a shoulder injury while McDermott must also decide whether to recall prop Ryan Bailey.
