In its most recent effort to derail the push for a Las Vegas-style casino at National Harbor, Rosecroft Raceway's owner has promised two more years of live harness racing — but only if the state denies a casino license to any other bidder in the county.
Penn National Gaming, owner of the Fort Washington track, agreed Friday to a two-year contract extension with the Cloverleaf Standardbred Owners Association to continue live racing at Rosecroft.
The agreement calls for 54 days of live racing, contingent on having "no casino approved for a location other than Rosecroft Raceway in Prince George's County," according to Penn's statement. The track would have racing two nights per week, with a spring and fall meet.
"Our priority is to give Maryland horsemen the greatest opportunity possible to earn a living, grow their business and rebuild the industry. This does require a financial sacrifice from Penn National to maintain our commitment to the Maryland Standardbred industry but we are willing to take that risk," Christopher McErlean, vice president of racing for Penn, said in the statement.
Cloverleaf has no concern about Penn's conditions regarding a National Harbor casino, said Sharon Roberts, executive vice president of Cloverleaf.
Penn previously has said it would difficult to continue operating Rosecroft without revenues from other gambling sources, such as slots.
"Penn has been very supportive of Maryland harness racing," Roberts said. "We think they always put their best foot forward. This is a step in the right direction.
"We are very hopeful that the future of Rosecroft Raceway and the Standardbred industry are considered when the special session convenes in Annapolis. A casino at National Harbor will be the final blow to Rosecroft and will destroy our industry," Robert said in a statement.
Roberts also expressed her "disappointment" with Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D) for being "willing to put the futures of our horsemen, the tracks employees and our breeding industry at risk just as we have begun to rebuild it."
"We are finally seeing our industry begin to thrive again and it would be terrible for that progress to end because a casino was placed at National Harbor," Roberts said.
Even if lawmakers OK a new gambling location in Prince George's County when their special session convenes Thursday, the proposal still would need voters' approval and face an open bidding process. But Penn, which also owns the Hollywood Casino Perryville slots parlor, says the dice are loaded in favor of MGM Resorts International and National Harbor.
"Penn is opposed to the legislature taking this matter up in a special session as it is apparent that the deal is done and in favor of a National Harbor site," spokeswoman Karen Bailey wrote in an email to The Gazette.
The Wyomissing, Pa., gambling company has pushed for a slots license in Prince George's since purchasing Rosecroft through a bankruptcy auction last year, and the legislation before lawmakers could allow slots at Rosecroft.
But Bailey has said Penn officials think the local and state government support for the nearby National Harbor site leaves Penn at "an impossible disadvantage."
Bailey cited Penn Chairman Peter Carlino's letter to Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) on July 23: "To the best of our ability and to the limits of our corporate resources, we will furiously to stop this rush to create an exclusive opportunity for National Harbor ..."
She said Penn would not comment on the specifics of those "resources" or whether they would be deployed during the special session or a potential November ballot effort.
Push for minority business participation
Meanwhile, the Prince George's County Contractors and Business Association in Camp Springs continues to blast the National Harbor effort with an intense public relations campaign, urging residents to contact their representatives and warning against any "special treatment" for any casino in Prince George's.
A recent letter from the association rallies support for numerous minority business participation requirements at the project. These include 35 percent minority equity ownership participation with local preference requirements and 35 percent minority contracting participation with local preference and local hiring goals.
The association also has spoken out against MGM itself and has challenged National Harbor on its record of minority business participation. The group just released a new video ad opposing a National Harbor casino.
In National Harbor's four most recent contracts, its owner, the Peterson Cos. of Fairfax, Va., has had minority business participation exceed county requirements of 20 percent for two contracts, at 24.3 percent and 25 percent. Peterson has surpassed the goal of 30 percent for two others at 43 percent and 48 percent, according to a February report issued by Mirinda Jackson, Prince George's County's minority business enterprise compliance manager.
"We have a strong record of consistently meeting and in many cases exceeding every metric of success as established by Prince George's County," the Peterson Cos. said in a statement.
The company referred to Metropolitan Protective Services, Corporate Cleaning Solutions, Grace's Mandarin and CECA as local minority-owned businesses that have benefited from National Harbor.
"We're pleased that Governor O'Malley and the General Assembly are moving forward with this plan to bring thousands of new jobs to Prince George's County and hundreds of millions of dollars annually to Maryland public schools," the developer said. "We agree that now is the time for Prince George's County to realize its major national market opportunity."
MGM also has touted its record of $1.2 billion awarded to minority-owned and disadvantaged suppliers and $1.6 billion awarded to minority-owned construction contractors since 2001.
"We expect significant MBE participation at our projects, especially in Prince George's, given that a large part of the population is minority. We would embrace the participation not only in construction but also in suppliers and employment," said Phyllis A. James, executive vice president and chief diversity officer for MGM.
"When we establish business in a new community, we're looking to be a fully responsible corporate citizen. We want to be part of the community," James said, adding that it's too early to discuss specific goals.

Junior Brooke Wehle (Denison, Iowa/Denison-Schleswig) converted a layup attempt with 1.7 seconds left to help lift the Buena Vista women's basketball team to a thrilling 64-63 home victory over Coe College (15-7, 9-4 IIAC) on Saturday night on Alumni Weekend inside of Siebens Fieldhouse.
The Kohawks, who trailed 61-57 with over four minutes to play in regulation, fought back to take a 63-62 lead with just over 10 seconds left. After getting the ball back across halfcourt, BVU called a pair of timeouts and Wehle drove the lane for her eventual game-winning layup.
The bucket was only the second field goal for Wehle in the contest, as she finished with six points, on 2-of-9 shooting, while also chiming in with five assists. Senior Jessica Christensen (Turin, Iowa/West Monona) and Laura Hilby (Johnston, Iowa/Johnston) each knocked down four three-point buckets and tallied 15 points apiece. Christensen also grabbed nine rebounds and tallied two steals. Sophomore Susan Kies (Fonda, Iowa/Newell-Fonda) buried a pair of three-pointers for BVU and finished with 11 points off the bench.
The Beavers used the long range shot to their advantage on the night, as 11 of the team's 22 field goals came from beyond the arc. Seven of those makes came in the first half as the team went on to build a 32-22 halftime cushion.
After shooting only 21 percent from the floor in the first half, Coe fought back thanks in part to a 51 percent effort in the second half. BVU led by as many as 13 early in the period and by 11 with five minutes gone by.
The Beavers continued to hang onto the advantage until the Kohawks took their first lead (55-54) since the 6-minute mark of the first half. A 7-2 spurt by BVU gave the team the four-point lead before the dramatic ending.
BVU outrebounded Coe, 47-41 and held Kayla Waskow, the league's leading scorer to only seven points, on just 2-of-13 shooting.
Megan Hayes and Lindsey Ware each scored 13 points to help lead Coe.
Buena Vista improves to 10-11 on the year (5-7 IIAC) and will now travel to Simpson College (16-5, 9-3 IIAC) on Wednesday night, February 8, for a 6:00pm contest.

Coffee: A Dark HistoryCOFFEE TRADER and historian Antony Wild delivers a rollicking history of the most valuable legally traded commodity in the world after oil--and an industry that employs one hundred million people throughout the world. From obscure beginnings in East Africa in the fifteenth century as a stimulant in religious devotion, coffee became an imperial commodity, produced by poor tropical countries and consumed by rich temperate ones. Through the centuries, the influence of coffee on the rise of capitalism and its institutions has been enormous. Revolutions were once hatched in coffeehouses, commercial alliances forged, secret societies formed, and politics and art endlessly debated. Today, while coffee chains spread like wildfire, coffee-producing countries are in crisis: with prices at a historic low, they are plagued by unprecedented unemployment, abandoned farms, enforced migration, and massive social disruption. Bridging the gap between coffee's dismal colonial past and its perilous corporate present, "Coffee reveals the shocking exploitation that has always lurked at the heart of the industry. |

This is the time for us to remember and honer all what this old man did to us all in South Africa and forget our racial differences.
Gregg Clarke
Agreed and why don't we "bury" the racial word/s along with him. Most of all he was a human being and so why should we not refer to each other as just that. No more black or white, just human beings post Madiba in his honour.
In an ideal world Gregg…in an ideal world. Racial hatred is heavily entrenched in the hearts of a few/or many South Africans. I remember a time, 2010 in fact, when I was on holiday in Ballito (KZN). The looks we got from people of another race (I won't mention which). It was indicative of the fact that THEY thought we did not belong there, but only they did. Then this year, we had a family gathering in a hotel, within a suburb dominated by people of a certain race. We were a very big crowd (20+ people), and there again, I witnessed looks like "Oh goodness, what are THESE people doing in OUR area". If I can afford to be there, then I WILL be there! Hello! I don't hate people of other races for being their race, but I must say, that I don't tolerate being looked at like "I don't belong" in the geographical space I happen to share with them at a particular time. I didn't choose to be born my race, so I'm not about to feel ashamed about it.
andrew parker
what racial differences?

That was a mighty big statement to make! MADIBA may have thought of honouring that BUT I am afraid it is not so in practice in this Country AFTER 20 YEARS AT ALL. !
that is exactly my point — maggot jacob and his selfserving cadres are hell-bent in making themselves zillionaires overnight,at the expense of ordinary SA citizens and destroying everything that was achieved by Madiba
Money and power did not matter for #Mandela but the struggle for equality and freedom for the rest.
Gilles Denis
the man who makes us new hope in man (Gilles, France)
Rest in peace Madiba, Yem-yem, Ngqolomsila, Dlomo. I am still thinking how South Africa is going to be without you because your presence gave us hope. Your departure will bring hopelessness as you were my only source of inspiration. I understand that you were old and one day you'll leave us but your passing away came as a great shock. You have left a vacuum which will never be filled because there is no one else like you. Hamba kakuhle Madiba omde.

Tribute to Madiba – He lived and died for us, so that we could live together in peace love and harmony.
When I was a little girl in 1950, my granny always said we are living in "Die land Kanaan".
Only now at age 66 do I truly understand what she meant.
Quote:- "The search for happiness is as old as the human race. If we but knew it, happiness is within reach of everyone. Happiness is knowing the heart of God, who made us and wants only the best for us. Like the children of Israel in days of old, who came to know His heart as He led them through the wilderness to the Promised Land, a piece of property called Kanaan".
"We can never heal the wounds. They are too deep. But we can help to soothe them. We can feel the
hurt with those who are hurting."
"We want to forget everything else little by little and just see the reconciliation and the love that you have brought to us…'
This is what Madiba did for South Africa – he led us to our Promised Land, a piece of property we call
South Africa "Die land Kanaan".
There is peace where there is faith.
Thank you Madiba we love you. -
Ntokozo Durban
Thanks very much Tata for the sacrifices that you together with, Oliver Tambo, Walter Sisulu, Govan Mbeki, Chris Hani, Steve Biko, Robert Sobukhwe and others of of your generations made for the freedom and democracy of our country. We will always be indebted to your sacrifices and courage.
"Do our leaders have what it takes?"
Sadly, in the ZANC: No.
The good news is that in SA: Yes.
Officials like Madonsela, Pikoli and Nombembe and politicians like Lekota, Maimane, Mazibuko, Ramphele or Zille could easily become a new Mandela.I think Mbeki was thinking of the ZANC when he posed the question.
JC Ledwaba
Reconciliation in this massive inequalities is a pipe dream. Even Mandela knew that, but people chose to elevate and romantisize reconciliation at the expense of other govt programs to serve their own selfish needs, like the media, beneficiaries of apartheid and the current government as led by the "HORNOURABLE" Jacob Zuma.
Thulani M
Thank you Tata Madiba for facilitating the peace process to free the people of South Africa for the better. we shall keep the spirit of ubuthu alive in your honor.

Dear Charles as much as it is ideal to forget our racial differences it is virtually impossible to ignore the the fact that the colour of poverty is black and the colour of prosperity is white.
How do you suggest that we live in racial harmony when white people own everything of significance, they own all the arable land in this country.-
Yvonne Horak
Dear James, I am sorry to bust your balloon.! Did you know there are poor white people.?Do you know there are white people that do NOT OWN ANYTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE that are working 2 jobs and some working weekends doing additional private jobs, sewing,baking,assisting with gardens layouts, have very small families,(not more than 2 children- cannot afford more!) pay rent, pay electricity pay school fees pay taxes, transport ! Do not even own a house never mind land! Do not get FREE RDP houses, have to cope with AA/BEE and Quotas and discrimination because of skin colour? Have to support themselves and find their own accommodation ! Has been like that since 1652 for the whites- NO MAHALA! Did you know there are very very wealthy Black people?I would love to be as rich as ALL of those in Government, as rich as Sexwale, Motsepe, Guptas, Naidoo, Dr Suve? Ramaphele, Ramaphosa, and many many more also Oppenheimers,ruperts,Wiese and others. SOME worked very hard and their forefathers did so too, some built it up by hard work and brains- others stole it!! indirectly by being crooked,some by getting Tenders also many of them etc they are the ones that did not EARN IT THEMSELVES! BUT I am not one of them and unless I win a lotto, will never be rich! BUT I DO NOT BLAME others for that. They did not ask for to be born and were not responsible for my birth,my childhood and my parents.I do not suffer from an ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY AND i OWE NOBODY ANYTHING AND THEY DO NOT OWE ME ANYTHING. maybe you SHOULD SORT OUT YOUR LIFE AND ATTITUDE- START FROM THE DAY YOU WERE BORN- nobody asked for you to be born either. That was your father and your mother's doing. Make the most of yourself and what you have- good health, family, stop envying others! They owe you Personally, nothing! Start your own business.!

The great man, Nelson Mandela was a real inspiration. His age, wisdom and ever-smiling face was a beacon of hope whenever I watched him. He had a heart of a baby, a smile of an innocent person, very warm, cool and collected.
One will remember his tower figure, the one who read a speech without glasses, and very good sense of humour.
He was a real sleek dresser, with his own "Madiba Shirts" designer shirts of floral design and his look-alike chinese -eyes were very bright. -

There is an ANC song that goes like this, Mandela My President! There is nothing that can be said beyond the above mentioned statement, that Madiba represented ANC, as its President with flying colours, served the Republic of South Africa with excellence, as its first democratically elected president, and modelled to the world how to be the most principled statesman of the 21st Century. I am proud to have had Madiba as my President.
It goes without saying that he will be missed, his values and his principles will go a long way to make South Africans and the world over want to emulate him. Rest in Peace my President.
I want further to share with City Press how others have been hypocritical in responding to Mandela's values. This will need attachments to serve as evidence. You can reach me at my email address, email@example.com

In 2011 Mister Spex has its finger on the pulse yet again, for all things glasses-related! And no wonder, with over 2,500 frames from 60 different labels to choose from. With the glasses of 2011 Mister Spex again covers the whole spectrum of current eyewear trends.
The glasses of 2011 are characterised above all by their distinctiveness. If until a few years ago glasses were preferably inconspicuous in design, the trend more recently has been to wear your corrective eyewear with pride! Retro style remains essential to the glasses of 2011. Influences from the 20s, 50s, 60s or 70s can be found in all of the 2011 glasses collections. Dark-coloured plastic and horn-rims are looks of the season.
Nerd glasses don't look like going anywhere in the year 2011. Whether for men or for women, the nerd look will just get cooler, and the glasses of 2011 reflect this fact. More and more models in the nerd style are available, with round lenses and panto glasses among the most desirable. For those who want the ultimate nerd look, we have glasses in the much-maligned, but very striking, NHS specs
style. Whether or not this trend will spread to the masses remains to be seen, but we hope it stays a little bit underground. For all the misfits out there.
For those who prefer a little bit of subtlety, the glasses of 2011 feature many stylish, more understated frames. Fans of rectangular frames will not be disappointed, as angles still dominate the mainstream trends. Rebelling against the status quo, however, is the revival of round-lens glasses in 2011. The return of panto glasses in recent years paved the way for the glasses of 2011, which show influences from the swinging sixties. And our collection of glasses for 2011 is not lacking glamour, with the retro butterfly frames also making a little comeback.
Another feature of the glasses of 2011, is the slight return of metal frames. Since classic pilot shades became summer best-sellers again, metal frames can also be found in the glasses collection. Combined with plastic or with minimalistic metal frames, the Aviator style is a welcome return to the glasses of 2011.
With the glasses of 2011 Mister Spex offers you a huge variety of frames from the very coolest labels. Find your dream pair of glasses in the Mister Spex online store. Try the Online Fitting Tool to get a real idea of how the model suits your particular features. You can then order glasses to try on at home, and make your decision in your own time. Once you've returned your chosen model to Mister Spex we'll fit highest quality plastic lenses with anti-scratch, anti-glare and easy-clean protection, free of charge!
Mister Spex delivers all over Europe and offers the highest level of customer service. You can use our Free Callback Service if you have any enquiries about your order. And if you are not satisfied with your purchase, we are happy to provide an exchange or full refund. Mister Spex: number one for glasses, and number one for customer service.
Detailed information about our guarantees, as well as shipping and ordering, can be found in the service area of our website.
Besides our 2011 collection of glasses, our online store also features a range of glasses from other brands.

It may have one of the fastest growing economies in the world -- but if you're young and out of work in Africa, the future remains bleak.
The global economy is under a "veil of uncertainty" as economic issues grip the U.S., eurozone and developing markets such as China, the head of the International Monetary Fund said Thursday in Japan.
Tom Hanks is ready for the bright lights of Broadway. The Hollywood star is making his debut on the Great White Way in a play from the late Nora Ephron called "Lucky Guy," set amidst the scandals and corruption plaguing New York City in the '80s - "a grand and glorious time to be in the tabloid business," as Ephron puts it in her play.
Twenty-one days after her bone marrow transplant, "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts is now recuperating in the comfort of her own home, as she wrote in a post on "GMA's" website.
A new promo clip for Lifetime's reality show, "The Houstons: On Our Own," is breathing new life into the engagement rumors surrounding Bobbi Kristina Brown and "family friend" Nick Gordon.
For the readers of AskMen.com, the guy who made the biggest impact this year and most shaped "what it means to be a man of influence in 2012" isn't a real man at all. He's fictional. (And he's not alone: Christian Grey from "Fifty Shades of Grey" was named the 13th most influential man of the year.)
With fallout still swirling from Apple's decision to replace Google Maps with its own mobile mapping, Google on Thursday announced the biggest upgrade ever to its Street View tool. The update adds more than 250,000 miles of roadways in 17 countries, said Ulf Spitzer, Google's Street View program manager, in a blog post Thursday.
Steve Reeder says it's no secret among his Facebook friends: He's a Republican. But after he began posting news articles and political cartoons on his page that reflect his support for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, his friend count began falling off. Today, it's down by several dozen.
A Japanese artist gives a Christopher Columbus statue a monumental abode.
It is hard enough to make one good video game. Trying to make two at the same time is a challenge not many developers try to tackle. But the creators of a recently released, turn-based strategy game hope that by blending two differing styles of play in one title they will find a pot of gold at the end of the double rainbow.

Lorne (i_host) wrote in we_coexist, @ 2011-05-22 16:22:00 |
Entry tags: | logan echolls, lorne |
Routine (open to Logan or Ivy or both)
Lorne settled nicely back into life in the City, once it stopped making him behave like a human child. The masquerade, the hat, snappy as it'd been... he'd had to do a lot of explaining to Fred, and a few other people, that mid-twenties for him was a lot like the terrible twos for humans.
His Sea Breeze intake was increasing.
While grateful for the City's gift of Caritas, Lorne didn't care for the up-in-the-air way in which it functioned. LA was good, it was predictable, mostly. Bad things happened to good people, sure... but it was unlikely you were going to be institutionalized, turn into a child and receive myriad messages about a personal ad you didn't place.
The outside observer would not know anything at all was getting to Lorne. Business as usual was exactly that--business as usual. The music played, the booze flowed, the wings were served hot.
On this particular night, after offering a comic book character he didn't recognize a little advice on how to cope with his loss of nemesis, Lorne sat on the edge of the club's stage with a mic in his hand and a huge smile on his face. He handed the mic off to the next willing singer, who chose to belt out a version of a Pink song that actually half made him wince.
He smiled at patrons as he walked past, and offered to refresh their drinks. When he got to the bar, he held his own glass out, with wide eyes, and nodded heartily. He hardly noticed the person on the stool to his right.

Size was wrong, did not fit
By Neech
from Imperial Valley, California
I ordered a size larger and it was still too small. Plus the fabric is incredibly hot to wear to bed in the summer. In winter it wouldn't be bad, but in the summer it's too hot.

Nightrunner, the Catwoman team-up in Japan, Stephanie Brown in Leviathan Strikes was certainly one of the best issues or at least if it had been an issue it would have been one of the best.
Probably just for shock and awe the return of Cassandra Cain under a new moniker got my vote. Despite not being that important or featured. Just by principle.
Though KATHY Kane, Kate Kane. INC has had just some of the best stories from Batman. The whole run is wicked cool.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
B A+F Student Body: Online classes deal with a diverse group of students and teachers, Although I never met any personally, I got to know them in groups.
B A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I was on full scholarship until I changed the emphasis on my major. Since then I have had a hard time getting financial aid and finishing my classes.
B A+F Career Services: Great network for alumni and career services. I have not really used them yet. I have only checked out the website and talked with a friend of mine that works in alumni services.
B A+F Academic Experience: Masters in Education is a lot of work but I take my classes in succession. I have not had any problems with class scheduling, class interaction, until I changed my major emphasis.
B A+F Academic Experience: There are a lot of choices for online learning. Professors and classmates are from all over the place. I enjoy interacting with so many different people.
B A+F Overall Experience: With my schedule, I needed online classes. My academic advisor, professors, and classmates online have been great. I really enjoy online learning.
B A+F Academic Flexibility: I had no problem starting my classes. I was on a full scholarship but when I had issues and lost the scholarship (due to major changing) financial aid has been a struggle
Facilities: I take all my classes online. I have not been to a campus.
B A+F Campus Resources: I take online classes but our resource library and access to online help is excellent. 24 hour tech support on most issues.
B A+F Campus Resources: Phoenix Ecampus is great and simple for all students. I am not the most tech savvy guy but the website and tech support is great.
B A+F Facilities: Adults in an adult environment.
B A+F Campus Resources: I see lots of campus activities each month.

C A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I have exhausted my financial aide. I am looking to find scholarships to complete my last year. However, if I had managed my financial aide better, I wouldn't be in this situation. I will graduate, earn my degree, and pursue a career in Human Services. Financial aide has helped me immensely to get to this point.
B A+F Campus Resources: There are an abundance of resources available to students at the university.
B A+F Campus Resources: The computer lab is excellent.
C A+F Facilities: It is geared towards helping adult students manage school, work, family, etc.

A guy walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles.
The sales girl notices him and asks is she can help him.
He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the correct isle.
A few minutes later he deposits a large bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the check-out counter.
Confused, the sales lady says, "I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?"
He answers, "You see, it's like this. Yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling paper; because it was sooooooo much cheaper. So I figure that if I have to roll my own...........so does she."

It's a scenario as enjoyable as imagining a world without chocolate (ugh, could you picture it?! ARGH!), but in all earnestness, take a moment to ponder this:
What would you do if you were unemployed? Despite constantly, actively searching for work? For a lengthy amount of time?
My dear friend Chris has been in this exact position for six (yes… six) months, and crikey, it's NOT from a lack of trying. Résumé coaches? He's hired them! Tirelessly applying for numerous roles in multiple industries? Oh believe me, he has been, and is! (A text message from Chris earlier in the year: "so, I literallyapplied for 50 jobs yesterday. I'm going to smash this!")
It's been a frustrating time (and can you blame him?! Chris is intelligent, educated and one of the bubbliest, funniest people I know. Jeez, if I could afford to hire him, I would!), but on Tuesday, he cooked up a new game plan:
The idea? That we take to the streets of Sydney and "bomb" businesses with our résumés, Samantha Jones-post-break-up-with-Richard style! (Do you remember this glorious scene in Sex & The City?! HA!)
Chris preparing for 'Operation Résumé Bomb'. Staple, staple! (The running joke of the day? "Angry creditors frothing at the mouth? Oh, well. HAVE A RÉSUMÉ! Removalists evicting furniture? Meh. HAVE A RÉSUMÉ! Building about to be pulled down? HAVE A RÉSUMÉ! Fined for littering paper around the CBD? HAVE. A. RÉSUMÉ!")
We STORMED the retail and hospitality sectors, and guess what?! By the end of the afternoon, Chris had landed not one, but two interviews (high-five!), and I nabbed a bartending trial at The KB Hotel. (No, really! I completed it last night, pouring beers and serving the locals and EVERYTHING!)
The verdict? Never give up!
In the words of the wonderful Chris, "don't "try"; succeed. "TRYING" indicates that there's a chance of failure, but not if you decide that failure is NON-NEGOTIABLE."
Have YOU ever completed a résumé bomb? Would you ever complete a résumé bomb? (And isn't Chris insanely brave/brilliant for devising the idea in the first place?! Corporate head honchos, just LOOK at that initiative!)

yea its good to expirement thats the only way to progress but start simple and do small tweaks .
alright thanks for the advice, appreciate it. i wanted to have a more sharp tag but it cant just change like that i guess lol.
and im guessing i shouldnt use the name seak cuz of sear? i honestly did use that name before though so im not biting the idea from sear but it could still be weird i guess
alright, il prob just try to think of a new name but if i end up going back to seak i for sure wont bite any of his work.

I dig your "R" on "Cred"
Boxed A's with curvy letters =
Some of them are pretty shitty, was using a brush tip marker that is about as close to dry as you can get... made the strokes kinda rough and sloppy.
Actually, they're all pretty shitty... not a big fan of any markers that aren't a chisel tip... can never get my letters to look any good with a rounded tip.
Regardless of any previous posts, I do not condone nor take part in the act of vandalism. I simply document the work of others.
The name seak has been used a lot.... No worries. A good handy has a solid base. Just like anything else. If you really want to explore and develop your hand try checking out a typography book. Study basic caligraphy. I'll post up some pics of the style i'm working on once i get my phone back from htc.
thanks for the advice peter. im going to just think of another name beside seak...still cant decide though
awww you're so adorable when you pms dankz
dank i dont think he was insulting you. it seriusly looks like a turd.
Optik : DMA
Everything I post is somebody else's work. I have never been involved in any vandalism or destruction of property, and I assume no responsibility for what my posts may say.
dope and dope.
(I'm baack)
I was so drunk on time i sat in a Urinal and pissed with my pants on.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand. Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

The Citadel project has released version 7.5 of its GPL3-licensed groupware server. The release improves the web interface and countless other details.
Email, calendaring, address books, bulletin boards and instant messaging now form a more integrated package, where noticeably the system puts business card attachments better into VCard format. To protect emails against viruses, you can now directly integrate the free ClamAV antivirus toolkit. Developers also worked on the calendar to better implement recurring appointments and meetings across the system, and you can now schedule whole and multiple day events.
The WebCit framework that builds the Citadel web interface is now templatized to make it easier to resize text fonts for different screen sizes.
Citadel 7.50 is ready for download and installation using Easy Install and as Debian/Ubuntu packages.

Recipe for Shredded Chicken in the Slow Cooker (crockpot)
7 comments:
Karen - just had to share a tip for this chicken --- you can put the chicken in a Kitchaid mixer and it will be shredded in about 15-20 seconds! Saves me sooo much time, just make sure the chicken is still hot, won't work after it has cooled off!

Posting videos of every single RBN song would be incredibly time consuming, so I'd imagine not. Send him a PM on Scorehero to make sure.

Not a lot of reason to post videos on YouTube, really. when you can preview the song yourself on your 360.

John "Jack" Lavery '70 Establishes Scholarship for Economics Students
January 26th, 2009John (Jack) W. Lavery, who earned a master's degree in economics from the University of Maine in 1970 before embarking on a successful career as a leading economist, has provided $300,000 over 10 years to establish a scholarship fund for students in UMaine's College of Business, Public Policy and Health.
Chairman and CEO of Lavery Consulting Group, L.L.C., a New Jersey-based economic and public policy research firm specializing in client presentations, Jack created the Jack W. Lavery Scholarship Fund for outstanding undergraduate and graduate students majoring in economics at UMaine.
"I liked the economics program at the University of Maine," said Jack. "I learned a great deal. I had good teachers who not only took a pragmatic approach to the subject but also made it analytically rigorous. My education at UMaine made a real positive difference in my career."
"We are honored by Jack's gift," said John Mahon, dean of the College. "It is yet another way in which Jack contributes to both the field of economics and to the College. His generosity to the College and to the next generation of students reflects his commitment to his profession and to the College."
During his nearly 40 years as an economist, Jack worked at corporations including Provident National Bank, Aetna Life & Casualty, and Western Electric Company. He also had an extraordinary 20-year career with Merrill Lynch & Co.
He joined the financial services company in 1981 as chief economist and director of economic research. In each of his four years as chief economist, Jack made the Institutional Investor All-Star team. Prior to Jack, no economist at Merrill Lynch had ever made the I.I. All-Star team in economics. He then went on to build and orchestrate Merrill's global securities research and economics complex for eleven years, run its worldwide global equities business for three years, and serve as director of corporate strategy for one year. He also created and ran the firm's corporate and public policy research group. He retired from Merrill Lynch in 2000 to accept the position of Visiting Professor of Economics and Executive-in-Residence at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey, his undergraduate alma mater from which he earned top honors while majoring in economics. He established Lavery Consulting Group in 2001.
In addition to gaining a strong foundation in economics from UMaine, Jack acquired something else: a love of teaching. Shortly after beginning his first semester in 1968, he was entrusted with teaching the large lecture hall session in Principles of Economics after Professor Samuel "Bud" Talley was injured in an accident. These new duties were in addition to his ongoing responsibilities for the recitation sections that were part of his teaching assistantship. In the five weeks or so that Professor Talley was recuperating, Jack handled the entire Principles course. It was a whole new ballgame.
"It worked out very well," said Jack, who discovered that he enjoyed producing clear, straightforward yet challenging and thought provoking lectures as well as synthesizing a large amount of material so students could focus on the most important aspects of the subject.
"I learned a great deal teaching that 80-minute economic principles course three times a week," he said. "I had to make sure that I was comfortable with the subject and that I understood it thoroughly so I could express myself extemporaneously without reference to notes."
Jack never lost the passion for teaching and scholarship that he developed at UMaine. He would intersperse his long and varied career as an economist with stints as an educator – sometimes full-time, sometimes as an adjunct professor.
"My desire to teach was always there," said Jack, who taught economics at the University of Hartford, Niagara University, Seton Hall University, and LaSalle University. He also taught while he was a graduate student at the University of New Hampshire. In keeping with his love of teaching, he traveled the country, giving presentations to corporations, financial institutions and money management entities.
Jack's former economics professors often made it a point to be in the audience when their protege gave presentations in Maine. "It meant a lot to me to have people like John Coupe, Tom Duchesneau, and David Wihry there. I think they were proud of me and I was proud to have the opportunity to do something in front of them."
Nowadays, as head of the Lavery Consulting Group, Jack is busy researching and writing articles on the economy and the financial markets, domestic and global. He continues to travel the country, providing dynamic, insightful and understandable forums on the U.S. and global economies, financial markets, politics, and public policy. He always takes questions from the audience and enjoys the lively exchange that inevitably follows.
"It's an exciting time to be involved in economics and the demand for what I do is high," he said. "Economics can be theoretical and mathematical, but I focus on delivering important, pragmatic real world economic and financial market implications."
The University of Maine has remained a big part of Jack's life. For the past five years he has chaired the advisory board for the Maine Business School in the College of Business, Public Policy, and Health, which meets several times a year to determine the overall direction for the MBS; provide input from the perspective of major employers; identify trends in business; and advocate for the College and the University.
He and his wife, Charlotte, who had their first two children at St. Joseph Hospital in Bangor while Jack was a graduate student at UMaine, enjoy visiting the campus and often extend their trip so they can spend time in Bar Harbor. For her part, Charlotte is delighted about Jack's allegiance to his alma mater and fully concurs with his gift to the university.
Jack plans to continue his commitment to UMaine. "I'm doing everything I can to help the university. My role may change, but I hope to always have an important connection."

The big news
this weekend in design/décor is the Interior Design Show. Worth noting too, though,
is the Toronto Offsite Design Festival, also happening this weekend. Actually,
it's been happening since Jan. 19, when it kicked off in The Junction a week of
some 40 exhibitions and events across Toronto. Reinvented for the third year in
a row, it remains — as far as I can tell — a way to take advantage of the buzz
created by the IDS, and to publicize a souped-up "what's on in the arts in TO" guide. I say
that in a good way; there are lots of
great things to see in the city right now and if more people thought about
design more often, we might just have a more civilized, more livable city. Others may feel differently, of course.
Under the offsite festival umbrella are such exhibits as The Happy Show, created by Stefan Sagmeister (until March 3 at the Design Exchange). It's supposed to reflect the designer's attempt to increase his happiness using meditation, cognitive therapy, and mood-altering pharmaceuticals. (Please resist here your natural impulse here to add wisecracking editorial – Editor.)
The website also notes that you can see Jeff Goodman's supremely beautiful glass until Feb. 27 at the Ontario Crafts Council Gallery.That will be worth catching, imho. If I wasn't broke, I'd buy a few pieces of this lovely glass, made by a lovely man, who once graciously invited me into his studio, where I made a glass paperweight. So very sad when he died last year.
I also like the sound of Snip, mostly because I've always admired Miriam Grenville's kooky-pretty-clever work with paper. This time, see a series of patterns at the Hair Lounge until Feb. 18.
See the full list of events on the festival's site
My date book is jammy-packed for the next few days, but I will try to get down to the IDS trade-day to get a glimpse of Philippe Malouin.
His impressive CV includes a stint with designer Tom Dixon and a recent nod from Wallpaper magazine for a carpet hand- made from looped galvanized steel wire into an arresting geometric shape. The geometric motif shows up again in his "windows" - light fixtures designed like shutters and which mimic natural light, for which W Hotel lauded the Canadian-born designer.

If you go, keep in mind that the OneXOne's children's charity is auctioning chairs customized by such designers as moimoidesign, WeKillYou, Monnet Design, Oeuffice, Doublenaut, Burton Kramer, and Marian Bantjes. Take a peak, and make an offer if you can.

Giant-cell tumor of the tendon sheath
Justin Q. Ly, MD and Douglas P. Beall, MD
A 63-year-old man presented with a long-standing soft-tissue mass at the volar aspect of his right proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint that had recently become increasingly irritating, but without significant increase in size. Physical examination revealed a firm, fixed subcutaneous nodule, causing limited flexion at the right fourth PIP joint, but without loss of sensory or overall function of the hand. There was no significant tenderness, and no other nodules were identified. A retinaculum cyst was suspected and, following radiography (Figure 1), a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging study was obtained for further evaluation (Figure 2). Figures 1 through 4 are images obtained prior to histologic confirmation.

Giant-cell tumor of the tendon sheath
Although not impressive or specific in appearance, the soft-tissue density identified radiographically over the fourth right PIP joint is certainly abnormal, prompting further characterization with cross-sectional imaging. The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging study revealed a well-defined soft-tissue mass arising from the flexor tendon sheath of the finger (Figure 2); the mass had the appearance and signal characteristics of a giant-cell tumor of the tendon sheath. Histologic examination confirmed the diagnosis. The tumor was excised on clinical grounds alone.
Giant-cell tumors are common bone tumors, usually occurring at the epiphyses of long bones. These tumors have also been known to occur less commonly in soft-tissue form, known as giant-cell tumors of the tendon sheath (GCTTS). As its name implies, the tumor arises from the tendon sheath and includes discrete, nodular, or polypoid masses commonly affecting the digits of the hands1 and feet; involvement is usually extra-articular but can occur intra-articularly as well. There is also a more diffuse and irregular form, known as proliferative or florid synovitis. Less common than the nodular form, the diffuse type occurs exclusively outside of a joint space.2 Common sites of occurrence for the diffuse form are the ankle and knee. Neither type of GCTTS have been known to metastasize or are associated with malignancy, as has been reported in 20% of giant-cell tumors of bone.3 Giant-cell tumors of the tendon sheath can resemble pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) histologically, but are distinguished clinically by the numerous frondlike villous masses associated with diffuse intra-articular synovial involvement of PVNS. Additionally, PVNS is associated with the deposition of large amounts of hemosiderin, involves the hips and knees, and causes large joint effusions. The treatment of PVNS almost always requires aggressive surgical management. There is a lower incidence of recurrence following resection of the focal, nodular form of GCTTS relative to the diffuse or florid type, which can have a recurrence rate of up to 50%. As with many other soft-tissue masses, GCTTS can be difficult to see radiographically, especially when smaller in size. There is usually no associated osseous change, although there have been reported cases of associated osseous erosion. Even when a soft-tissue prominence or density is visible radio-graphically, its appearance is relatively nonspecific. MR imaging can be helpful diagnostically; the appearance of the focal form is generally decreased signal intensity on both T1-and T2-weighted MR imaging. As this is an uncommon appearance of soft-tissue masses that are extra-articular, this MR appearance may suggest the diagnosis of GCTTS.4 CONCLUSION As seen in this case, GCTTS is a small, benign soft-tissue mass that commonly affects the hands and feet.

The Greater Cleveland Film Commission said Jenny's Wedding, a film starring Katherine Heigl and two-time Oscar nominee Tom Wilkinson, will begin shooting in Cleveland next Monday, Oct. 28.The dramatic comedy is written and will be directed by Mary Agnes Donoghue, who includes "Beaches" among her credits.According to the film commission, "Jenny's Wedding" revolves around Jenny (Ms. Heigl) "who causes a massive sea-change in the lives of her closely knit, highly conventional family when she finally decides to marry." "A pretty and engaging woman, everyone is baffled by Jenny's lack of a love-life, and her parents particularly have been anxious for her to settle down, but when the announcement comes that she is finally going to wed, her choice of partner tears the family apart," the film commission states in a news release. "In order to reconnect, everyone including Jenny, must reinvent themselves."The film commission notes that other movies that have filmed in Cleveland this year include "Draft Day," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," and "Miss Meadows."
