2003-2004 Teaching Excellence Award Recipients
The Undergraduate School
Robert Champ has taught English for UMUC's the Undergraduate School since 1993, while writing poems, reviews, and articles for scholarly journals and serving as a mentor for new faculty members. Students often name him as the best online faculty member that they have encountered.
One student wrote, "There has been much written by scholars about the works we have read and yet, somehow, Dr. Champ finds something fresh in my perceptions [and] points out important points I have raised. So much so that I have decided to continue on to graduate school in English.
Champ earned his BA and MA in English from Loyola University of Chicago and his PhD in American literature, in 1992, from the University of Maryland, College Park.
Inez Giles has taught in UMUC's the Undergraduate School since 1986, and has designed both graduate and undergraduate courses in instructional systems design, technology management, and systems analysis and design. She acts as course chair for human resource management and as a distance education mentor.
"Her support and confidence in her students helped provide a basis to achieve the coursework as well as apply the knowledge and concepts to everyday life," wrote one student. Another added, "Her topic explanations clarified the text information and allowed us to grasp the concepts by relating them to real-world scenarios.
In addition to a BA in music education and an MA in ethnology, Giles has earned an MBA from Southern Illinois University and a PhD in adult education from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
The Graduate School
Leslie Pang has taught in UMUC's Graduate School since 1997, bringing nearly 30 years of professional experience in information resources management and engineering to the classroom. He is a professor of information systems management at the National Defense University's Information Resources Management College.
Students respect Pang's ability, but also praise him as a kind and caring mentor. As one student observed, "Dr. Pang demonstrated all the attributes of an outstanding faculty member. He made each class session interesting, fun, and rewarding; he was always well prepared and highly organized; and he consistently gave honest, useful feedback." Another added, "His passion for learning inspired students in the class to achieve their best.
Pang earned his PhD in engineering from the University of Utah in 1983 and an MBA from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1988.
Alan R. Sutherland has taught management courses for UMUC's Graduate School since 1999, drawing from nearly 35 years of executive experience in the human services field. Students praise his academically challenging teaching style, approachability, sense of humor, course design, and commitment to student achievement.
"Dr. Sutherland demonstrated compassion and a deep concern for my progress," said one student. "In fact, he piqued my interest in management studies so completely that I have enrolled in two courses for the upcoming semester.
Sutherland earned his PhD in public administration from New York University in 1984.
UMUC Europe
M. Jean Mandola
In addition to teaching theoretical courses in art history and studio courses in painting, drawing, and design for UMUC since 1976, Collegiate Associate Professor M. Jean Mandola has helped develop and organize study tour courses for UMUC Europe. These courses incorporate visits to major European museums like the Picasso museum in Paris, the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, the Matisse museum in Nice, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen. Thus, Mandola helps make full use of UMUC's European location to make art courses a life experience as well as an academic experience for her students. In recent years, she has added UMUC's virtual classroom to her list of venues, integrating electronic resources in her teaching.
In addition to her work with UMUC, Mandola has taught courses for the Institute for American Universities in Aix-en-Provence, France. Before joining UMUC, she also held the position of assistant professor of art history at Northern State University and was already teaching when still a graduate student at Michigan State University. Previously, Mandola was named an artist-in-residence at the Michael Karolyi Foundation in Vence, France, and has also received a National Defense Language Fellowship for the study of Asian art and culture.
Mandola received a BA in humanities and an MA in the history of art from Michigan State University.
Nile Stanton
Collegiate Professor Nile Stanton has taught for UMUC Europe since 1994. As an active member of the UMUC faculty, he has regularly participated in global faculty symposia and workshops, mentored peers in the distance education field, taken part in pilot projects in faculty development, and co-developed global standard syllabi.
Aside from teaching, he has served as defense counsel to citizens accused of serious felonies in both federal and state courts throughout Indiana and other states and has represented plaintiffs in cases involving claims of racial discrimination, age discrimination, prisoners' rights, and police brutality. He has served as executive director of the Indianapolis Lawyers Commission and published several scholarly works relating to government and criminal justice. His prior awards include the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers President's Award for serving pro bono publico in the death penalty case of Larry Hicks. He was also recognized for his efforts in organizing a program designed to encourage young people to participate in local government.
Not surprisingly, Stanton sees his professional career as being "equally divided between practicing law and being a university professor." His faculty Web site attests to this integration of academic and professional interests and activities, providing students with annotated links to historical documents, theoretical essays, and analyses of actual court cases, illustrating a commitment to balance between the theory and practical application of the law>
Stanton received a BS and MA from Ball State University prior to completing his JD from Indiana University.

As the news cycle accelerates in the Middle East with massive discontent, the story from the Jerusalem Post's print edition breaks this shocker (click on tittle to read full article):
Navy completing secret two-year submarine upgrade
The shock is not that the upgrades were done; it was this tidbit from the story:
The submarine was taken out of service almost two years ago but the renovation was a carefully guarded secret in the navy so Israel's enemies would not know that one of its three submarines was out of commission.
Considering that previous public reports indicated that the entire Dolphin class that the Israeli navy uses were already capable of nuclear weapons delivery per numerous reports, the modifications in question and of course, still unknown, must be considered a disturbing development when taken in context with the current situation with Iran, Egypt, and remainder of the Middle East.
The fact that these two sentences appear in the story should strike fear in every military planner's heart from the Pentagon to Moscow, and Beijing to Tehran:
"Every vessel that comes in to the shipyard for maintenance and upgrades comes out with improved capabilities," Col. Eli Shouach, commander of the navy's shipyard, told the Post. "There are a select number of countries around the world which can independently renovate a submarine. Some have tried and failed."
Israel's submarines are the military's most expensive platform and are often referred to as the country's second-strike doomsday weapon due to their reported ability to fire cruise missiles tipped with nuclear warheads.
This front page news release was not by accident and should be considered a final warning to Israel's enemies and potential allies of those enemies.

State Police investigate "suspicious" traffic stop
Posted at: 01/17/2013 10:38 PM
State Police are investigating what they call a traffic stop under "suspicious circumstances."
Troopers received a complaint from a 21-year-old woman. According to investigators, the woman told them she was pulled over Route 98 north of the village of Arcade by someone driving a navy blue sedan with blue lights in the windshield and some sort of police insignia on the driver's door.
Troopers say the person driving that sedan is a male between the ages of 30 and 40 with blond hair and a medium build and about 6 feet tall. Troopers add the person was wearing a blue uniform with no insignia, a belt with a gold shield, a baton and did not have a holster or gun. Anyone with information is asked to call state police in Batavia at (585) 786-2299 or Clarence (716) 759-6831.
If you feel you're being stopped by someone other than a law enforcement officer, police advise you to call 911 or drive to the nearest police station.

It was one of the highlights and last night's debate the drilling for oil controversy turned into a heated exchange -- who's right.
Elizabeth McDonald.
Next bottom line -- Yeah that's right -- debate moderator.
Candy Crowley basically asked the president.
Isn't the stated intent of the Department of Energy secretary to keep gas prices high in order to encourage.
Green energy alternatives we see gas prices right now trending in about.
Three dollars and 75 cents a gallon that's up from a -- 84 in January 2009.
And this is where the debate got pretty intense and heated.
Here is governor Romney and the president.
We have.
Increased oil production to the highest levels in sixteen years and production at private and government last question is down -- -- -- projection on government land of oil is down fourteen government.
OK so here's -- the facts are and this is from the government the government's own data.
Yes oil production is up about 15% over the past five years biggest -- this oil permits have been slashed under the administration.
-- down around 42% some 2007.
Down about 33%.
Since since 2009.
Yes oil and gas.
Production are up but -- -- permits issue that's at issue.
In other words permits to explore on federal land the president's response was use it or lose it is the issue oil companies.
Do have these permits they're not using them and now the debate in the oil industry sector is well what do you call and how do you define an active because it takes anywhere from five to ten years to get an oil well up and running are you pulling these leases and permits.
And how under what definition back to Cheryl.
All right so governor Romney made his point is what is correct the facts are shown on at all right now -- -- --

The Placer County Board of Supervisors confirmed the appointment of Mary L. George as county director of library services Tuesday.
George has been serving as acting director since the Dec. 30 retirement of Mark Parker, the director of library services for the last five years.
George was appointed to the Placer County Library's top administrative post by County Executive Officer Thomas M. Miller. At Tuesday's board meeting, board members voted unanimously to confirm the appointment.
"I am thrilled to have this opportunity," George said. "The Placer County Library has been a big part of my life since I was a young girl growing up in Christian Valley. Riding my horse to visit the branch library in Applegate was one of my favorite pastimes. To me, being named director of library services now is a dream come true."
"Mary will bring a combination of enthusiasm and experience to the job that would be hard to match," CEO Miller said. "Mark did a good job steering the library through an era of tight budgets while overseeing the expansion of three branch libraries and the construction of a new branch in Rocklin. Mary has the right credentials to guide the library successfully through the next stage of its development."
The Placer County Library operates 11 branches and a Bookmobile and oversees the Placer County Law Library. The library system has about 92 employees and an annual budget of approximately $5.6 million.
George has been assistant director of library services since 2001. Before that, she served as children's services coordinator for the library system and as managing branch librarian at the Rocklin branch library.
She began her county service as a circulation clerk in 1992.
Her career also includes a stint as a reference librarian at Sierra College and experience as an adjunct professor at Sacramento City College teaching a course in library operations.
George earned bachelor's degrees in political science and history from California State University, Chico in 1989 and a Master of Library and Information Science from the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of California, Berkeley in 1991.

Most of the known dead civilians are Kenyans, authorities said. Six British citizens, two French nationals, two Indians and two Canadians, including a diplomat, also died, their governments said.
Those killed include:
• Dutch national Elif Yavuz, a senior vaccines researcher for the Clinton Health Access Initiative based in Tanzania. Yavuz was pregnant and expecting her first child in October, said Julio Frenk, dean of faculty at the Harvard School of Public Health. "Elif was brilliant, dedicated, and deeply admired by her colleagues, who will miss her terribly," the Clinton family said in a statement.
• Yavuz's husband, Australian-British architect Ross Langdon, who moved to Nairobi to build sustainable architecture for Africa, volunteering to build hospitals and clinics free of charge.
• Kofi Awoonor, a renowned African poet, author and Ghanian statesman. Awoonor earned his doctorate from New York's Stony Brook University and was a professor of literature there in the 1970s.
• A nephew of Kenya's president along with the nephew's fiancee.
• A Peruvian doctor, Juan Jesus Ortiz, who had previously worked for the U.N. Children's Fund and lived in Kenya doing consulting work.
• Sridhar Natarajan, an Indian national and employee of a local pharmaceutical firm, and 8-year-old Paramshu Jain, the son of a bank branch manager, CNN sister network CNN-IBN reported, citing officials in India.
• Roula Adatia-Sood, who was seven months pregnant, a colleague at East FM Radio station, Seema Manji, told CNN. The radio station was hosting a children's cooking competition at the time of the attack.
Kenyan unity
In his speech Tuesday, Kenyatta praised Kenyans for turning out in overwhelming numbers to donate blood, for contributing money to victims and for helping in countless other ways.
He said their example proved to the world the attack was a failure despite the immense loss of life.
"The incident which we now put behind was certainly not welcome," he said. "Yet it has strengthened us and renewed our resolve to live as one strong, open, stable, democratic and prosperous republic where peoples of all races cultures and faiths pursue happiness together.
"Our attackers wished to destroy the essential character of our society," he said. "They failed. Kenya endured. Kenya endures."

Hi all, so this weekend we're flying to Melbourne and want to take our bikes for the weekend.
Any ideas on where to get a couple of boxes big enough to fit our bikes?
Any bike store should have some - they generally will pack up your bike for transport too.
If you want it at the Airport - most airlines sell you boxes on the spot, about $20
Great tips, thanks guys! Have now sourced a couple of boxes from my LBS...
Would fancy riding to and from Melbourne ideally - that sounds great, consider it added to my bucket list:-)
Bekster....Great Ocean Road is a must do :)
Check beforehand that the vehicle dropping you off at the airport has enough space for the boxes. Worked out that my bike packed in a bike bag (kept the rear wheel on) required a larger vehicle, like station wagon or van. Taxi service with station wagons declined to take my bike. So AC members volunteered to drop me off at the airport at a very early hour. In 2011 passengers with usual luggage required to check-in one hour before domestic flight, and two hours beforehand with oversize luggage (bike).
Taxi service??? Where's the "service"?
Martin, think I implied that when station wagon taxi would not take my bike. Wanted me to hire a van, from memory the rate was 50% extra. Glad that a few AC members volunteered to help me out an early hour.
My neighbour has a van but could not ask him for a lift before dawn. If the 'renovated' Adelaide Airport had sensibly provided some bike lockers, he would have transported my bike during the day. Then I could have found other means to get me to the airport for the 'red-eye'. There was only the one departure for the Adelaide-Brisbane route, so no choice in time. Why do authorities always forget cyclists' needs?

Hello all.
We now have a new old Focus to replace our old new Fiesta!
Our 2010 Fiesta used to chime at 50 remaining miles of fuel - but our retro 2001 Focus has the usual fuel light.
Now this question wouldn't bother me, but my girlfriend wants to know how many miles you could typically expect to drive when the light comes on until you splutter to a halt with no fuel...
My guess is about 50 or so, am I right?

ide say dont try to find out it says 50 but i doubt anyone on here will test that theory
Posted 29 November 2012 - 06:09 PM
Tbh, as soon as the light comes on you should look to the nearest garage.
Think of all that crap sucking up into your fuel filter and pump.
The very lowest I'll let my car got to is 1/8th of a tank.

喜欢一个人不就是应该让她感到幸福,让她快乐。别给他带来困扰 - 孟天楚/刑名师爷
Wahaha i found another bit here, this one on Chapter 11:
Luanee, you're amazing! There are lots and lots of words in one chapter, how did you manage to find exactly the sentences you wanted?
Wow Joe chen really join to SoD cast..@Tobemela..how about huomi and Joe chen's fans in mainland? *poor wallace*
Hee i am re-reading the novel now to find those parts tobeme likes haha... Actually the first scene with Mr Lao and his daughter i had some impression since it was one of my favourite scenes so it was easy to find it. For the second one I was re-reading it in office today and chanced upon it lol..
Let me see if i can find more tomorrow... i skipped a lot in between actually when i read hee
No wonder that Huomi is so mad at Wallace for not be able to find a gf. Following YM and Hawick, Tong Li Ya and Chen Si Cheng has just declared their relationship. Tong Li Ya was with Wallace in Strange Heros and Chen Si Cheng with him in Xin Yi Jian Mei.
Why are you guys complaining about Wallace and his girlfriend business in front of me? He is waiting for me ok? The right girl here, I am his future girlfriend, we will meet in the near future and will openly declare our love. Dont be jealous when that time comes. It's night time over here so it doesn't hurt to dream right?
I guess Wallace is too picky, his standard is so high. Who would want to be his girlfriend if you are not confident enough. Although he said she doesnt need to be a beauty, but I think she needs to be stunningly beautiful and elegant otherwise people and HuoMi will say "Oh Gosh he is even more beautiful than his girl friend". Hmm this is a very scary thought. Poor thing.
Wow those two above look so lovey dovey...does anybody else think that Tong Li Ya's make up in Strange Hero is a bit too pink? She tries to look like a plum blossom in there but it doesnt suit her though. A girl who is selling a street vendor and yet too much of pink make up makes it so unrealistic.
Poor Wallace, how long does he need to wait for you to go to China to meet him? Oh, BTW, he once said the best place for traveling is Sydney! He loves that place! Think you can bring him to sydney after you two met?
Now you pointed that out TLA didn't look her best in Strange Hero.
go Hana6002! I'll support you! Keep us updated okay!
by the way, I like Tong LiYa more in Gong than Strange Hero. But nevertheless, she'll still pretty
By the way, is Modern Beauty a good series? I was thinking of watching it to see a married Wallace. But if its boring, I don't think I'd last.

KISS in Brandon, York football coach charged & Acadia
What students are talking about today (February 22nd)
1. Students at Brandon University were excited for some metal after KISS frontman Gene Simmons posted earlier this month on his website that the band would play July 18th in the Wheat City. Both The Quill and the Brandon Sun reported the news but now the date has now disappeared from Simmons' website and it's unclear whether they're even coming. This may not seem like a big deal to most of us, but it shows how desperate students in small cities are for entertainment.
2. Here's disturbing news. Daniel Younis, 24, was Recruiting Coordinator and Running Back coach for the York University Lions football team when he was arrested this month for luring a child under 18 and attempting to make child pornography following Internet chats with a 16-year-old boy.

The radiation from a fallen satellite causes the recently deceased to rise from the grave and seek the living to use as food. This is the situation that a group of people penned up in an old farmhouse must deal with. Shot in 1968, this zombie-fest remains relevant and shocking even today.

Important news to Norton County
In order to meet state and federal guidelines for Wireless enhanced 911, Norton County is in the final stages of assigning new addresses for every commercial and residential property in the rural areas of the county. The new addressing will not affect residents in the incorporated city limits of the County.
Planning began in 1998 when public roads were named and signs were installed shortly afterwards.
In 2007, County wide aerial photography was aquired to create accurate maps for the new 911 system. Since then, every street and structure have been identified and digitized into the counties (GIS) Geographical Information System. Address guidlines were determined for the County in order to have a consistent numbering system countrywide.
When a call is received at the County's 911 Dispatch Center, the caller's address and phone number are matched to a computerized mapping system. The system maps an exact location on the street where the structure is located by using the 911 address number along with the length of that street, thus giving an exact location for the request for help.
Using and properly posting your 911 address is essential for the County's Emergency System to function properly and effeciently for the safety of the citizens in Norton County.
Norton County sincerly appreciates your cooperation to make this program successful.
Further details will be issued in future articles.
Richard Thompson, Chairman

2013 Compendium
Increased Screening Might Explain Higher Prostate Cancer Rates in Air Force Personnel
- Categorized in: Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), July 2011, Urology
While the rate of prostate-cancer diagnoses in active-duty servicemen has increased over time, higher rates of screening may be responsible, not a greater incidence of disease, according to a new study.1
"We started annual health screening for all Air Force personnel in the early 2000-2001 personnel, so, across the board, we went from having an every five-years physical exam to an annual physical exam required of everyone in the Air Force," said study researcher Air Force Col. Marc V. Goldhagen, MD, director of the of the Occupational Medicine Residency Program at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine in San Antonio, Texas. "So we think with the increased opportunity for seeing the doctor and getting an evaluation came an increased opportunity for [prostate] screening."
To study prostate cancer incidence rates, disease risk category and treatments, researchers queried DoD's Automated Central Tumor Registry for prostate-cancer diagnoses in Air Force servicemen between 1991 and 2008. The study included 106,418 male-officer records.
The researchers found that, between 2005 and 2008, the rate of prostate cancer among white active-duty Air Force servicemen was three times higher than between 1991 and 1994, and that it was 11 times higher for African Americans during the same time period.
For white Air Force men between the ages 35 to 64, there were 26 prostate cancer diagnoses for every 100,000 airmen, while, for African American Air Force troops, there were 39 cases for every 100,000 airmen. Both of these rates were higher than for their nonmilitary counterparts in the same age range.
A significantly greater proportion of active duty servicemen than retirees (62% versus 40%) presented with low-risk disease in the study. Of those with low-risk disease, significantly more active duty servicemen elected curative surgery than retirees (93% versus 53%).
Goldhagen said it may be that more of the active duty servicemen were choosing surgery than the retirees because they wanted "to get on with their life and with their career" and put the disease behind them.
"It may also depend on who the physician is and how they present the data and information as to which way to lean, surgery versus waiting and watching versus radiation versus other types of treatment," he said.
Screening is beneficial, he said, but more research is needed to determine who needs definitive prostate cancer treatment versus those who may not.
"Aggressive treatment has long-term life risks like impotence, incontinence and things like that which is more devastating in the younger male population. Some of those risks can be avoided if we can pick out who can be watched and observed versus who should get immediate definitive treatment." Page 2

Herb Orzo Pasta
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Partner: green beans
Turn this Herb Orzo Pasta recipe into a tasty economical main dish meal for 4 people by adding chicken. Sauté 1 cup cubed white meat chicken in step 1 before you cook the garlic. Then proceed as recipe directs.
1 Tbsp olive oil
8 cloves garlic, sliced
1/2 cup orzo pasta
1 (14-ounce) can chicken broth
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1/3 cup sliced fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup rice
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes.
Add orzo and rice to skillet. Stir well. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta and rice are lightly browned. Add broth and water, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until broth is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Add green onions, basil and parsley to skillet. Stir until just mixed. Serve immediately.
Great Ideas
Herb Orzo Pasta tip: To slice fresh basil leaves quickly, stack several leaves, roll them like a cigar, then cut the roll into thin slices as if you were slicing cookie dough. Or you can snip the leaves with scissors right into the mixture.

I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 and it has been working on my Apple network for some time. I went away on holiday and left everything switched off for a few weeks. I have switched everything back on this morning and I can't connect to the ReadyNAS. My MacBook has an IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.65 and RAIDar shows that my ReadNAS is on 192.168.1.74. However, RAIDar 'Setup' comes up with, "Safari can't connect to the server". Also, Finder shows my ReadyNas as both AFP and CIFS but will not 'Connect As....' with an error message "This file server will not allow any additional users to log on. Try to connect again later". However, I am the only user.
I have tried switching things on and off etc but without success. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards, Stuart

Have a read of this.
Not sure I agree. you could argue that this is a social site. You don't think that SEO is a good way to introduce people to it?
Edited by nethy, 21 September 2008 - 10:37 PM.
Posted 21 September 2008 - 09:57 PM
Not SEO in the true sense. Yes, it gets lots of search engine traffic, but that happens naturally. I sure don't optimize the forum or the posts for any specific keyword phrases.
Posted 21 September 2008 - 10:52 PM
Don't mean to be trollish but..
- You agree that SE traffic from searches broadly related to the topic of a forum/"social site" has potential to grow the community.
- You disagree that you should aim to maximise this traffic.
Do you think that doing so would be futile (wouldn't work). If so, why? If not, is there some other reason?

Kind of a chicken and egg sort of thing.

Kind of a chicken and egg sort of thing.
If SEO is not a good idea for a social site, then what should be my next step? Also I have checked the keyword "social networking sites" and it is searched 231 times and some more keywords like that. Please advise how shall I proceed. If not SEO then?
Posted 21 September 2008 - 11:17 PM
Kind of a chicken and egg sort of thing.
That's true everywhere. But it's not a chicken & egg.
SEO rarely pays off if no one likes the product, doesn't matter if it's a forum or a salad. Sure, start building a community, start making salad, start correct accounting practices, start developing quality staff, start working on a revenue model, exit strategy, merchandising, Jill Whalen action figures... None of those things pay off if the community does not develop. None of that is linear. It's true that people finding out about your site before it's ready is not useful, but that has nothing to do with SEO.
SEO is a substantial source of discovery. For most "social sites" a substantial one but still less then 50%. It would be irresponsible to ignore it.

Carpe Diem Restaurant
Online Reservations
This was my first, but won't be the last. The menu is extensive, everything is made from the finest ingredients and cooked to perfection. The service was prompt and very attentive. With the beautiful décor, it all made for a delightful culinary experience.
Every experience I have had at Carpe Diem has been fantastic. They differently have a great variety to choose from when looking at the menu. I personally love going out to eat and trying new things, so if you are like me this is the place to go. Everything I have tried at this Restuarant had been displayed to perfection and in my opinion tastes great too. The prices are a little high for the average person, so this is a perfect place to go for a special occasion or even Restuarant week.
Always great food and good service. This place is a gem. WIsh it were more affordable to me so i could enjoy it more often.
Third time Queen's Week Dining. Menu very good. Cocktail made to order. Perfect table selection. Matre'd - female- very attentive.Party of four...all enjoyed different main choices. Thanks
Overall, a great experience. The food was absolutely perfect and delicious. The wine was to die for. The only disappointment was our server's lack of enthusiasm. I can't recall any bit of warmth from him and he made me feel slightly unwelcome or uncomfortable. The rest of the staff were great!
Loved Carpe Diem. Came during restaurant week and the items were all delicious. I was sharing each course with my guests and we each agreed that the food was spectacular. Quick, friendly service. My favorite part was when our hostess gave us some sorbet to "clear our palates" after our appetizers and before the main entree. It actually made the entree much more flavorful!
My sister and I enjoyed a particularly tasty dinner at Carpe Diem. Lasher took excellent care of us. Our salads were interesting and flavourful. My hanger steak with smoked faro and an absolutely delicious pickled fennel were wonderful. My sister enjoyed her salmon with forbidden rice, Dessert of coconut cream pie and creme brulee was a perfect closing to a well conceived and prepared meal. Thank you, Carpe Diem.
Decided to take the wife and daughter to somewhere different...they were tired of me dragging them to steak houses. BOY what a nice surprise. Service was excellent, food was excellent, atmosphere was charming. We will definitely return!
Food is always my priority, but to have ambience, aesthetic and a well prepared meal is special. We were able to converse with the couple who we were with without shouting. They also mentioned How refreshing it was to hear what everyone was saying. The service is always outstanding. The servers seem to enjoy working at Carpe Diem and with the customer.
The art nouveau decor a lone would be worth a visit. It is the perfect setting for a romantic dinner or special occasion. The food is always fantastic and the service top notch. The wine list is decent and the cocktails done with the precision of a Chicago bar tender. I highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a great classic high end dinning experience that isn't pretentious. Which is hard to find these days.
You guys made our night special. The wait staff was great and something you rarely find--polite and manner-able!! The food was simply outstanding from the beginning to the end. Thanks for helping us have a great evening. Mike ans Pam Williams
This is the place for special evenings with great companions, casual cocktails to end the day, or a meeting place for a glass of fine wine before a night on the town. The food is world class, the service is unparalleled, and the atmosphere is the perfect mix of class and casual. Carpe Diem is the only restaurant in town that has never disappointed and always impresses.
Went pre a jazz event - enjoyed so much we were late for the event and just stayed talking (4 of us). Food was exceptional, excellent wine suggestion. A reminder we need to come back more often.
I love the friendliness of the staff. The waiter was knowledgeable with the menu. The salmon was flavorful and moist and all the ingredients complimented each other. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection. I look forward to my next visit.
I usually have the chicken. I tried the scallops. Outstanding!!!
I was looking for a new place to take my wife for her birthday. I wanted a place that would give us a great tasting meal with a romantic setting. Not only was the food outstanding, with a great variety to choose from, the service was excellent, while the decor offered a delightfully romantic setting. We have already recommended Carpe Diem to friends. I look forward to going back.
A very relaxed dining experienced. You are NEVER rushed to make a decision, to our table staff we were the only ones in the restaurant. Service, food and beverages were outstanding. We go here often and it is our favorite restaurant.
We had a great time at Carpe Diem....Im from Washington DC and I had to compare this restaurant with what i was use to in the city. Parking was easy and abundant. Their was not a wait at all to be seated. The waitress was fun and very helping. She was patient and worked well with our large group. The food was Excellent, I was being thanked for picking this place as if I was cooking the food myself.
Not my first time there but my first review..food is awesome and staff is wonderful..the restaurant itself is just gorgeous!! I love the dark woods throughout and even the comfy seats..very lovely looking..I would recommend going at least once in your life..may be a little expensive but they do have specials..get the specials!!! Love this restaurant and I will be back very soon.
Carpe Diem has been a favorite for a very long time. Tried and True. The food is always good and the service is excellent. Good neighborhood spot in Elizabeth.
This was our first time dining here. The food was very good and eclectic, but it was extremely noisy. It was hard to hear the server at times but service was good-very good. There were a couple times we were out of water or our wine was empty, but other servers would come over to help. I was slightly disappointed in the wine list. There could have been more options by the glass and more options by the bottle for red. It also does not make since to order a bottle if it is priced for 44 dollars and by the glass its 11. Other than that we enjoyed our experience, and will most likely be back in future.
The staff was very friendly and helpful and our server was excellent. The only issue was the noise level. Our party of six found it very difficult to carry on a conversation across the table. It was a Saturday night and they were busy but the noise level was annoying.
A beautiful setting with a very professional and welcoming staff, combined with creative and well-executed food. Once you know where it is, it is well worth coming back - and if you haven't found it yet, you should!
I was in town with co-workers and responsible for finding the dinner spots. Friends that live in Charlotte recommended Carpe Diem as one of their favorite restaurants in the city. It didn't disappoint. Everything was delicious! We had a variety of appetizers, salads and entrees and everyone was happy with their choices. We had a very early (6:00) dinner on a Monday so I can't speak to the environment when it's crowded. The service was good too. Would definitely go back if I'm in town again!
My wife and I enjoyed our overall experience at Carpe Diem a great deal. It (for us) was an unexpected experience for us! We will return...
We went to Carpe Diem to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was OUTSTANDING. The service was even better! We will be back again very soon!
After entering the restaurant we were escorted to a very private table for two set tucked in an alcove looking at a full room of diners. Our waiter was attentive, but gave us plenty of time between courses. We did not feel at all rushed through dinner. We started with a salad which was not exciting, but fresh and very good. I had the swordfish special and my husband the duck breast. Both entrees were very good. For dessert we shared he coconut cake. We're generally not big dessert people, but we were glad we ordered it. The coconut cake was more than enough for us to share and it was absolutely delicious.
The excellent customer service started with the phone calls and continued to excel upon arriving. Robbie and the entire staff are awesome!!
We chose this restaurant because of the many options it offered on the menu. I'm a vegetarian, my husband is not. It was our anniversary and I had requested a quiet table. When we were seated at a nice corner table it was decorated with confetti. We are from Ohio and had never had grits before. Our waitress brought out a sample from the chef and they were excellent. We're hooked. Everyone of the staff from the hostess, to our server, to the bussers were incredibly friendly. The food was outstanding. One of the best meals we've ever had. We had a wonderful evening and we would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone of our friends. Thank you for a memorable anniversary.
So many places make the mistake of having a loud (both visually and as far as the noise) interior. They do this to drive out their guests. You want to turn over tables and part of that is makling sure the customers do not stay too long. The music and the busy design work together to make you feel uncomfortable and make you want to leave. Carpe Diem intead has a peaceful noise level and interior so you can enjoy the world class food and service.
In my mind, Carpe Diem is on of the finest restaurants in Charlotte. Since we don't live nearby, we have always reserved Carpe Diem for special occasions. On this our 31st anniversary, the table was littered with little champagne bottle cutouts. What a lovely touch. Looking forward to our next special occassion
Since we live over 30 miles away, we don't get here as often as I would like. However, we has become our favorite spot in Charlotte. My vegetarian friends and relatives I have brought appreciate the attention given to that part of the menu, especially the fact that they have real choices beyond plain pasta. Everything from appetizer is carefully done. Even the bread and butter are special. The quality fits the price point.
Great food! A little loud when we arrived but after the crowd thinned it was quieter. We enjoyed everything we ate and the table bread was fantastic! Favorites were beef Carpaccio and Ahi Tuna. If we lived in or closer to Charlotte, we would hadd Carpe Diem to our list of restaurants we would return to.
I love this restaurant, but don't get there often enough. I used to work close to them when they were in the old Ratliffe Flower building and went at least once a week, but don't live or work close by any longer. We had a wonderful dinner Saturday night before we went to a concert. It was a good as I remembered it.
We've lived in Charlotte for 16 years and Carpe Diem has consistently been at the top of our list. The menu is varied and always offers interesting combinations of taste and texture. Service is always impeccable. The setting is comfortable and we love the art deco decor.
We were seated per our reservation at 7:30 on a Friday evening. I had the beef carpaccio as a starter and it was perfect. The wine pairing suggested by our server was excellent and moderately priced. We also enjoyed seared scallops and Israeli couscous with grilled shrimp and the fried chicken breast all really good! The entire experience turned a Friday night dinner with friends into a special event!
We are new to Charlotte and working our way through all the fabulous restaurants this city has to offer. Carpe Diem is on the list for a return visit! Great food- I had the kale salad and the scallops/ hubby had the mushroom hot and sour soup and the lamb. S'mores dessert was wonderful! Drinks were well made, we had several different martinis.
Had not been Carpe Diem in years and I am glad I went back. Food was great and so was the service. I went early evening and it was not crowded. With that said it was a little noisy, otherwise very nice.
Carpe Diem never disappoints. The food is a wonderful blend of unique and interesting flavors using fresh and current ingredients sourced from smaller, artisanal suppliers that provide products that are raised and grown naturally. The service is way above what you typically receive around Charlotte. There are multiple wait staff taking care of your table. You are never left wanting to anything from a refreshed water or drink to the proper plates and utensils changed as needed. Even though there are multiple wait staff taking care of you, they are completely unobtrusive. The architecture and atmosphere just top off the experience. The architecture reminds you of a fine restaurant in France. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable.
consistently good! Buttermilk fried chicken is always a hit!
This is consistently one of our favorite Charlotte restaurants. Good menu with a lot of solid options.
I took my girlfriend to Carpe Diem on her 25th birthday for a surprise dinner. I had never been before, but the menu looked playful and inventive and wasn't ridiculously over priced, so it seemed like a great choice. I informed the restaurant we would be coming to celebrate her birthday and if they could make a special birthday cocktail for her I would really appreciate it. Upon arriving, we were immediately greeted by the Host and taken to our table, but not just any table. We sat down in a private corner table with curtains drawn back, candlelight, and "Happy Birthday" confetti decorating the table cloth. When the waiter arrived he brought us 2 of the birthday cocktails the bartender had made up, and wished her a Happy Birthday.
We recently celebrated my wife's birthday at Carpe Diem. This restaurant has been around for years and has always been a sure bet for a special evening out. The restaurant is beautiful and unique in its architecture. It has two dining areas and a wonderful bar/lounge in the front of the restaurant. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the service was very attentive, but not intrusive. The food is outstanding and features a variety of local foods from fish to vegetarian. We hope to go back to Carpe Diem for future special occasions.
Everything (food, atmosphere, service) was wonderful! We were there on a Saturday night and the service was especially thoughtful; before we ordered, our waitress asked us if we had to "be somewhere by a certain time" to make sure our dinner would fit into our schedule for the evening. We had plenty of time and had a great dinner before heading off the the nearby Pease Auditorium for the "Says You!" show. Will definitely come back!
We went out with another couple and had a perfect evening! I love that there are multiple vegetarian dish options. Everything was fresh and delicious. We will be back!
This is the #1 top choice when visiting Charlotte. We are native Charlotteans and prefer this restaurant to all others. We particularly love the table by the window in the bar. The noise level on a Saturday night is energetic, but it settles…part of the whole scene. Great martinis, and wines by the glass. The menu is off the charts great!
I love going to Carpe diem for any number of reasons but here are my top 5. 1) the food is consistently wonderful, you will never be disappointed 2) the service is outstanding, I've never 'lost' my waiter or found one too chatty or intrusive 3) the location is ideal - close to everything uptown, yet you can easily find parking 4) the facility itself is gorgeous, beautifully designed with exquisite taste 5) the bar is great and it can serve parties large and small
Staff was friendly & knowledgable. Water glasses were refilled quickly, service was excellent. Food was outstanding- couldnt of enjoyed food prepared by such a talented chef more.
Have been going here for birthdays, family gatherings, special "date nights" w/ my wife, and New Year's celebrations w/ friends over a ten year span. Always well-prepared, eclectic , resonably priced menu w/ something for everyone, even vegetarian. The surroundings take you to a special place and the wait staff has always been personable and professional. A true gastronomical gem in the Queen City's crown.
We all met for a cocktail before dinner. Bartenders are great, very knowledgable, attentive, friendly- lots of cocktail choices. Dinner was also very good. I had the trout, it was good, but sounded better on the menu. I usually order the filet, which is consistently terrific. Menu notables from Saturday night: Mushroom Bolognese and the cornish hen special....everyone RAVED. The buttermilk fried chicken breast is something people talk about for weeks! Service was terrific. We had a round table of 8. They did a great job all the way around. It was a 50th celebration and they had put confetti all over the table, loved that. Just a little something extra.

- " Very clean hostel, with big rooms with nice painted walls. The lockers are very big, welcoming a big backpack + extra stuff. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They bake a very tasty cake every morning to serve it at breakfast, along with the stuff you normally get for breakfast. They have enough bathrooms to never have to wait. I've been here for more than a week and I never queued for a bathroom. The showers run flawlessly all the time. "

The elbow is a joint composed of three bones held in place by strong ligaments (bands of tissue). One ligament is looser in young children than in adults. As a result, soft tissue may become trapped between the bones in a child's elbow joint. The medical name for this injury is radial head subluxation. It usually occurs when a child is lifted or pulled by one arm.
Children under age 4 are most likely to have a radial head subluxation. As children grow older, their elbow ligaments become stronger. For that reason, this injury rarely occurs after age 6.
A radial head subluxation causes sudden pain. In addition, your child won't be able to flex his or her elbow. The injured arm is likely to hang loosely at your child's side. If your doctor can't see the child right away, go to the nearest emergency department.
These tips can help prevent radial head subluxation in a child:
Lift your child under the arms—not by the hands or wrists.
Don`t swing your child by the arms.
Don`t pull your child by the hand or arm, even when you`re in a hurry.
A doctor will examine the injured arm. An x-ray may be taken. The doctor will then gently move the joint to release the trapped tissue. Your child can sit on your lap facing the doctor while this is done. It's likely to hurt for just a minute. Your child will be fine once the parts of the joint are all back in place. Most often, no other care is needed.

This is the best ping pong / table tennis shot I have ever seen. Based on the look of the guy who got beaten on the point, he hadn't ever seen anything like this either. In the immediate aftermath of the shot, there is a brief moment where he maybe wants the shot to be called illegal. Then he just accepts that he had something awesome happen against him, so he applauds the shot. If there was ever actual cause for one of those excessive ping pong celebrations, this shot is it.

Home / Recent News and Spotlights / Spotlight on Harvard Law School / Tax Law
A new intensive "boot camp" on accounting and finance is just one on Harvard Law School's growing roster of law and business courses, which now includes classes in business strategy, corporate finance and how to lead law firms. These courses ensure that students headed to law firms can speak a "common language" with their clients and understand the business environment in which both operate.
In recent debates over reducing the budget deficit, even politicians adamant about not raising taxes have been discussing the elimination of tax loopholes, or "tax expenditures." We turned to Professor of Practice Stephen Shay, and asked the former deputy assistant secretary in the U.S. Treasury: What are tax expenditures, and should they be repealed as a means to lower tax rates, reduce the deficit or both?
Appearing at Harvard Law School a year and a half after being released from federal prison, a contrite Jack Abramoff expressed a desire to thwart the political corruption he once infamously practiced. The event on Dec. 6 was sponsored by the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, whose director, HLS Professor Lawrence Lessig, interviewed Abramoff, a former lobbyist who pleaded guilty in 2006 to charges of fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy to bribe public officials. "His experience," said Lessig, "has an enormous amount to teach us."
Mihir A. Desai, who currently serves as the Mizuho Financial Group Professor of Finance, the Senior Associate Dean for Planning and University Affairs, and the Chair of Doctoral Programs at Harvard Business School, has accepted a joint appointment to the faculty of Harvard Law School as a tenured Professor of Law.
The Uniform Law Commission has formed a new drafting committee to prepare a Uniform Act on Powers of Appointment. Robert H. Sitkoff, the John L. Gray Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, has been named as a member of the drafting committee. An expert in trusts and estates, Sitkoff serves under gubernatorial appointment as a Uniform Law Commissioner from Massachusetts.
Harvard Law School has announced the appointments of U.S. District Judge Nancy Gertner and Stephen Shay, Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Tax Affairs in the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as Professors of Practice.

Full Disclosure: Sick of Blue Screens? Get a Mac!
Don't fret: Fantasies about ditching Windows are perfectly normal--maybe even healthy.

Quote

Stephen Manes
From the September 2002 issue of PC World magazine
Posted Thursday, July 25, 2002
Mac heads are dissing our machines again! Nothing new about that--except that now they're doing it on television in commercials paid for by Apple. They're calling Windows machines "horrid" and "clunky" and "unwieldy." They're even saying that they're "disgusted!"
You're probably thinking, "So what? They're like a religious cult. Apple's last big campaign featured famous dead people who'd never touched a computer, let alone a Mac."
But now they're bringing up the Blue Screen of Death! In public!
You're probably thinking, "Hey, that's our dirty little secret. These Apple guys must be stopped!"
Or maybe you're thinking something else--the Appleseed that Steve Jobs wants to plant in your brain: "Is the Mac really easier and more reliable? And should I consider it for my next computer?"
After all, you're already using lots of Apple's pioneering concepts: Microsoft acknowledged in a written agreement with Apple back in 1985 that Windows was "derivative...of the visual displays generated by Apple's Lisa and Macintosh." And from Windows 1.0 to XP, the operating system has grown more Mac-like, not less.
Then there's innovation. The 3.5-inch floppy disk drive? First seen on the original Mac. Wireless networking via 802.11b (Wi-Fi)? As AirPort, it rolled out first in Macs. And Macs had built-in ethernet when it was a mere add-on for PCs. Although these technologies weren't invented at Apple, it committed to them long before they trickled down to Windows.
Some things were invented at Apple, including one advance now in every Mac: FireWire. Too bad the high-speed port (aka IEEE 1394) has been slow to catch on in PCs, in part because of the even slower-to-arrive copycat USB 2.0 standard. And the Mac is often far more elegant: Thanks to Apple software, editing digital video or burning a DVD on a Mac is almost a pleasure. On PCs, it's almost always a pain.
Windows users just get used to annoyances that Mac users don't have to put up with. Exhibit A: the Registry. That nightmarish Microsoft innovation means it's far easier to move applications between Macintoshes than it is to go through the grueling reinstallation process that keeps PC users clutching their current machines rather than upgrading.
Go To Apple.com/switch?
Prior versions of the Mac OS managed memory poorly and crashed more often than Windows. My limited experience with OS X suggests that these problems have largely been corrected. Still, the Mac is far from perfect. I continue to prefer the PC's windowing interface, its lack of proprietary connectors, and its freedom of hardware choice (particularly in laptops, where I like 'em small and Steve Jobs apparently doesn't).
But every day that brings a Blue Screen of Death, a networking disaster, or a collection of security warnings from Microsoft is a day that more Windows users will consider making the Big Switch. And while there's no hard evidence that Apple is developing an Intel version, consider this: If OS X were available for the machine you have now, wouldn't you be frustrated enough with Windows to give it a try?

ok to good
Posted Oct 21, 2013house is cute, but a little creepy at night since it's dark, quiet, full of dolls/figures and nobody around... the old lady at the office was very nice, but you only meet her at day time. after 9pm it's pretty hard to find a staff. room was not bad, not super clean but acceptable. amazing big bath tub! location was pretty remote, nothing around no stores no restaurants, not very convenient if you don't have a car.

Good B&B
Posted Aug 25, 2013 on Hotels.comThe room was a typical B&B bedroom, small but adequate. It did have it's own en-suite restroom which was a nice bonus. Only "drawback" is breakfast was between 7:00am-9:00am so, having to be gone by 6:15am, I did not get breakfast.

This is not a hotel, and ZERO customer service
Posted Aug 13, 2013 on Hotels.comFirst of all, its not a hotel, its someone's large house, in which they rent rooms (with bathrooms inside). You may like more "home feel", the ability to go sit outside in their yard, etc. but the place is noisy. The carpet was super dirty, and the whole place is dirty, dungeon-looking with books and things stuffed on all shelves. The check-in area is the KITCHEN of this house. My room was right outside of it. New customers would come in, wonder around and yell "hello" at all hours. my bathroom didnt have any shades, so the neighbors got a full view, every time i took a shower. Jetted tub? its just a tub in the bathroom (not bedroom) with 5 jets installed. I didnt use it because it didnt look clean enough for me. They do have wi-fi and cable tv. They have a guest fridge (outside of your room in the kitchen), which is stuffed full and is very dirty. Breakfast was ok. No hot foods, just coffee cake, boiled eggs, cereal, etc. It was 7:30- to 8:30 am, so you better get up early on your vacation! it was not a problem for me, because i was woken up every day by the owner Leicha, yelling and laughing outside of my door. When I asked her to be a little more quiet, she said said "I had NO IDEA you are STILL sleeping". Zero concept of customer service. She was basically telling ME i was wrong for sleeping.

We were surprised to find this as a Bed & Breakfast, that was our disappointment. The food was okay and the room was clean. It was a gabled house and the ceilings were low, for anyone over 6 foot could hit their head.

From Talking Points Memo:
Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has "promoted a culture of bias" against Latinos in his Maricopa County Sheriff's Office and communicated to officers that "biased policing would not only be tolerated, but encouraged," according to a just-released report by the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division.
DOJ investigators found during a three year probe that there was reasonable cause to believe that Arpaio, who fancies himself America's Toughest Sheriff, and the Maricopa County's Sheriff's Office (MCSO) have engaged "in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional policing" and "engages in racial profiling of Latinos; unlawfully stops, detains, and arrests Latinos; and unlawfully retaliates against individuals who complain about or criticize MCSO's policies or practices."
Arpaio, who endorsed Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry late last month, was found to have helped create what one deputy called a "wall of distrust" between MCSO deputies and Maricopa County's Latino residents.
Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez, who heads DOJ's Civil Rights Division, told reporters in a conference call on Thursday morning that the department's "exhaustive" investigation took "longer than it should have" because of a lack of cooperation from MCSO. He said they didn't go into the probe with any "pre-conceived notions" but followed the investigation where it led.
"What is unique about the findings here is what appears to be at the highest levels of the organization, and that's an issue — when we were peeling the onion — that began to jump out at us more and more and more," Perez told reporters.
"I think that we can turn the culture around, but it will take persistence on our part," Perez said. (more…)

William Woods Gears up for Fall Family Weekend
10/2/2007 | Mary Ann Beahon |
"We always look forward to welcoming parents to campus," Venita Mitchell, dean of student life, said. "This is their opportunity to see what their student's college experience is like here at William Woods. I think parents appreciate meeting faculty, staff and students who are now an important part of their own student's life."
A large crowd is expected for Fall Family Weekend and other activities planned for the same days. The Office of Admissions will hold Autumn at the Woods for prospective students and their families. The Board of Trustees will be in town for a meeting, as well.
Two activities will be ongoing. The Faculty Art Exhibit, featuring recent works of faculty, will be open throughout the weekend. "The Pajama Game," a WWU theatre production, will be performed Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Friday activities start with a golf tournament at Tanglewood Golf Course. In the afternoon students and parents will have the opportunity to meet with faculty at the McNutt Campus Center.
Events on Saturday include a Parents' Association Coffee, allowing WWU parents to meet one another and learn how the association benefits students.
The Fall Festival Horse Show, an annual favorite, will be held Saturday in the Benita Bancroft Equestrian Center, featuring Hunters/Jumpers, Western, Saddle Seat, Driving and Dressage.
Families can spend Saturday afternoon cheering on the WWU alumni baseball team, and also attending the wine tasting and music later that evening.

The spirit of giving during the holiday season is ramping up and two Mineola-based organizations were one of the first beneficiaries. The Family & Children's Association and the Winthrop Cancer Center for Kids recently received 325 Toys
"R" Us gift cards totaling $8,125 from MSC Industrial Direct Co., a metalworking supply company headquartered in Melville. The two groups have received gift cards from MSC's Annual Toys "R" Us Holiday Gift Card Program for the past several years.
The Family & Children's Association is a multi-faceted organization that helps foster children, homeless youth, runaway teens, struggling families, veterans, and even senior citizens. While the association has a hand in many types of community outreach, it started out as an orphanage and still places an important emphasis on housing. The goal is simple—to keep families together.

The Village of Mineola is in the process of acquiring multiple properties as a result of the completion of the Long Island Rail Road Crossing Elimination project. The board of trustees recently passed a resolution to start the process.
All open items involving the project have been resolved by the New York State Department of Transportation. State law, according to village attorney John Spellman, allows villages to attain properties within the project.
"That project involved eliminating at-grade crossings at Herricks Road, Roslyn Road and the reconstruction the Mineola Boulevard Bridge," Spellman said. "We recommended that the village pass a resolution accepting these properties so that we can begin the process of officially acquiring them."

The Mineola 12U fall intramural baseball team celebrated their fall season and tournament championship with a pizza party/awards dinner on Nov. 20. In addition to celebrating a great fall season and tournament championship, the boys were treated to an inspirational talk by coach Ken Conrade, the 2013 New York State High School Coach of the Year.
Conrade, the Kellenberg Memorial High School assistant principal for academics and girls varsity softball coach, was the keynote speaker for the awards dinner. He presented a very talked about baseball and youth sports.
Conrade's talk was framed around each inning of a baseball game. He used stories and examples from the first to an extra "10th inning" to drive home both a sports and life lesson. For example, as part of the seventh inning stretch, he had each player stand up, stretch their legs and then go and thank their parents for their support and commitment to their baseball playing.
