Traverse City works hard to maintain image as national vacation destinationBy Rod Kackley

The Traverse City Convention & Visitors Bureau has added one more "best of" list to the home page of its website, which already has at least 50 such awards. "And we don't even list them all, just the bigger ones," said Michael Norton, the bureau's media relations director. In some cases, placement on these lists is the result of travel journalism and original reporting. Others, thanks to the tools of social media, are the result of online reader or fan comments and votes. While the organizations, businesses or communities ranked on these lists don't play for placement, the rankings — which could be seen by millions of people — don't come free. Those who rank highest spend time finding the best lists. They then either rally supporters to the cause if votes are being accepted, or invite reporters and editors to visit and see for themselves. This latest honor on the Traverse City CVB landing page was the result of both. A CNN writer/producer researched the best beaches for an end-of-summer vacation and published a list of her 22 favorites. Then readers, many of them fans of the Lake Michigan shoreline, told her how mistaken she was — one calling her "a flipping fool" — and offered their own nominations. And so Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore made the network's "20 More Can't-Miss Beaches" list. Traverse City gets attention from many media outlets
Mike Norton
Some of the media awards bestowed on Traverse City and Grand Traverse County have come from serious travel journalism publications, such as Midwest Living, which listed Traverse City as one of its "25 Coolest Midwest Vacation Spots" in July 2012 and placed it first on the magazine's "Midwest's Five Top Food Towns" in 2009 and 2010. Others have come from websites such as theknot.com, which advertises itself as being "the Internet's most trafficked, one-stop wedding planning solution." The Knot put Traverse City on its list of the "10 Most Adventurous Honeymoons." Although vying for placement on these "best of" lists is not part of his overall strategy, Norton said, the Traverse City visitors bureau is involved in a campaign now urging people to vote for Sleeping Bear Dunes in VirtualTourist.com's "8th Wonder of the World" contest. "We just found out about it and said, 'Well, there's an opportunity to jump aboard and see if we can make lightning strike twice in the same place." The bureau has a button on its landing page allowing visitors to vote for Sleeping Bear. "VirtualTourist created the voting button for anyone to use to support any of the nominations," said Kimberly Stirdivant Watson, director of public relations and marketing for VirtualTourist.com. "If they choose to use them to support their entry, or if they choose not to, that is their decision." If Sleeping Bear — two years removed from being named "The Most Beautiful Place in America" by ABC's "Good Morning America" — becomes the "8th Wonder," Norton said the visitors bureau will get a little free advertising to supplement its ad budget, which has increased 350 percent over the past two years, to more than $3 million in 2012. "We believe very strongly in 'top of mind,' " Norton said. "We try to keep Traverse City's name out there whenever we can by doing it on the cheap." While Norton will put a button on the website to make sure Traverse City followers know about these contests, he never uses the bureau's mailing lists for email blasts to encourage voting. When journalists research locations for lists that are driven by editorial departments instead of online voting, Norton invites the reporters to Traverse City. Again, it's not that this is part of a coordinated strategy, but "these lists don't just rain down on us like manna from heaven," Norton said. "You have to be in this for the long haul." Media takes notice of other Michigan destinationsAbout three hours south of Traverse City along the Lake Michigan shoreline sits the Grand Haven City Beach, which also found a place on the CNN "20 More Can't-Miss Beaches" list. That came as a pleasant surprise to Marci Cisneros, executive director of the Grand Haven Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. Cisneros said that when the visitors bureau finds out about a media outlet putting together a list that would be good for Grand Haven, it uses social media — primarily Facebook — to urge people to vote. Cisneros said she also lines up social media support from other members of the tourism industry, setting up links to and from their Facebook pages. "There is a camaraderie," Cisneros said. "It is a team effort within the industry and within the social network realms." Even with that kind of teamwork, Cisneros stressed that before a social media campaign can be waged, the network of followers has to be in place. She said it can take months or even years to collect a good number of "authentic followers." Dianna Stampfler, president of Promote Michigan, agreed that it's necessary to build a network of dedicated fans who are more than followers. They need to be true believers. Stampfler is using the Michigan Brewers Guild's social media fan base — more than 7, 000 followers on Twitter and more than 10,000 on Facebook — in a contest to win a free Super Bowl TV commercial. "They will do whatever you ask, and their friends will do whatever they ask, because there is a family culture in the beer world. It's unlike anything I have ever seen," she said. Stampfler said it is important to be on the Internet daily or even hourly to watch for contests and lists being generated by different media outlets. She also recommends correcting a media outlet when a business or community is left off a list because editors often will make a correction or put out a new list — as CNN did with its original "22 Can't-Miss Beaches." "Watch a 'best of craft beer' story show up and not include Grand Rapids," Stampfler said. "Everyone in Grand Rapids will share that on their Facebook pages with a 'WTH' message, which directs all the other craft beer people to head to the main story and post comments about how stupid their writer is for not including Beer City USA." However, Kendra Williams, senior travel editor at Midwest Living magazine, said she is not influenced by coordinated email campaigns pushing her to cover one business, one city or one region. Williams said Traverse City won the awards from her publication because she and her writers believed Traverse City deserved the awards, not because of a social media campaign. Williams puts together "best of" lists that she and her editors thinks readers want, and then sends reporters out to research nominations, some of which may have come in through social media. "But the list is not just based on that," she said. "We don't put anything in our magazine without going out there ourselves. If we personally haven't been there, we are not going to put our brand on it." Nicole Campoy, the blog editor for Fodor's Travel, also relies on her network of reporters rather than social media. Her publication named Traverse City one of the "5 Midwestern Small Towns To Visit Now" in August and one of the "10 Best Small Towns in America" in March. "We have writers all over the country," Campoy said. "They become aware of these cities just by being local. If they say it is something we should pay attention to, we do."

Washington, DC Thursday, June 28, 2012
The Supreme Court announced Thursday that the entire Affordable Care Act is upheld. They did issue some limits on the Medicaid portion of the bill.
Mitt Romney spoke to reporters from Washington, D.C., vowing to "repeal and replace" the law. He laid out some of the provisions that he would seek to put into a replacement bill, including lowering costs for everyone and leaving the pre-existing condition clause in place.
President Obama spoke from the White House in what was billed as an "address to the nation," saying "whatever the politics, today's decision was a victory for people all over this country." He highlighted the provisions of the act that have already taken affect and the benefits they provide. He spoke about the health insurance marketplaces that the act will create, and noted that insurance companies can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.
In March, the U.S. Supreme Court held three days of oral arguments on the multi-state lawsuit challenging the health care law. On March 26, 27 and 28 the Court Justices sat for a combined six hours to determine the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The case is officially known as Florida v. Department of Health & Human Services.
The court heard arguments on four issues related to the case: whether the court has jurisdiction over a tax law that has yet to take effect, whether the individual mandate is constitutional, whether the court can strike down only part of the law without striking down the law in its entirety, and whether the law's extension of Medicaid is constitutional.
Because the court upheld the individual mandate, they did not need to address severability.

Surely, you've heard the warning: Sex can be hazardous to your health. Maybe you first heard this from your parents, during sex education classes at school or from your friends. More recently, you may have heard this caution from television commercials: "Make sure you are healthy enough to have sex before taking this drug." Can you suffer serious harm from sexual activity? Is it really a health threat? The notion that sex can seriously affect your health is not a myth. Whether wishful thinking, blissful ignorance or the delusion of immortality, many people — especially young people — don't believe what they have heard about the potential health risks of sexual activity. What's more, many people who engage in potentially risky sexual activities remain healthy. Maybe it's due to luck or an overestimation of the risks. Either way, staying healthy despite risky sexual behavior may reinforce the belief that health risks are a just a myth. Few people think of sex as a major health risk other than those with AIDS or other sexually transmitted diseases. Some would add unplanned pregnancy and the emotional side effects of having sex before being psychologically ready to the list. While most people who have sex survive it, there are important health issues you need to know about. While STDs may cause annoying symptoms such as burning with urination or a discharge (from the penis or cervix), some STDs can be fatal. The best known is AIDS. While it's true that drug therapy has transformed the outlook for people infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, premature death due to complications of the disease is still a real problem. And, of course, not everyone has access to the medications, which are expensive and largely unavailable in many places. Untreated, many STDs can cause serious illnesses:
Sexual activity can lead to pregnancy, which carries a small, but real, risk of serious illness. For example, sometimes the pregnancy develops in the fallopian tubes (the passageway through which the egg travels from the ovary to the uterus), a condition called "ectopic pregnancy" or "tubal pregnancy." If untreated, it can be dangerous. Another pregnancy-associated condition, called eclampsia, is marked by dangerously high blood pressure, seizures, and, in some cases, coma and death. Fortunately, the risk of serious illness related to pregnancy is low in the United States and most other developed countries, but it remains remarkably high in many parts of the world and among women with medical problems that can be worsened by pregnancy. For example, a woman with poorly controlled lupus can become quite ill during pregnancy. Many people, especially those with known heart disease, worry that the physical demands of sexual activity could cause a heart attack. The good news is that the risk appears to be quite low:
With appropriate testing and proper treatment, the vast majority of people with heart disease can be sexually active with a very low risk of problems. A standard stress test is a good way to determine whether a person with possible heart disease can tolerate the physical demands of sexual intercourse. As a general rule, people who can briskly climb a couple of flights of stairs without symptoms such as chest pain are able to tolerate sex as well. It's also true, however, that medications approved in recent years for erectile dysfunction (ED) — sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra) — allow and, perhaps, encourage men who have risk factors for heart disease to have sex. Men with blood flow problems that contribute to ED are often the same men who are most likely to have cardiovascular problems, such as heart disease. As a result, there has been considerable concern that use of these ED drugs might lead to heart attacks during sex, especially among men who already have heart disease and are taking medications to treat it. These medications may interact with those taken for ED. That's one reason why these drugs include warnings such as, "Be sure you are healthy enough to have sex," and "Avoid use with nitrates." It's important to put some perspective on those serious health problems that could follow sexual activity. Even though most people suffer no illness as a result of having sex, it's a good idea to recognize that sexual activity can cause major problems. Beyond abstinence, you can take some simple precautions such as the following to avoid the rare, but serious, risks that may accompany sex:
Sex can certainly be risky, but you can take measures to minimize the dangers. There are plenty of reasons to think twice before having sex — the psychological and emotional effects, pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease — but serious illness can usually be avoided.

HARPERS FERRY, W.Va, Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Throughout the month of October, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) will be showcasing the film Appalachian Impressions in 15 cities nationwide, as part of their 2013 membership drive, called A Journey of 2,000 Miles: the Appalachian Trail. The organization has set a goal to gain the support of 2,180 new members, one new member for each mile of the Appalachian Trail (A.T.).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120927/DC82521LOGO)
The film Appalachian Impressions is an epic story about hiking the A.T. from Georgia to Maine. The program takes viewers on a six-month, 2,180-mile journey along the world's most famous long-distance hiking Trail. It captures the essence of this historic pathway, its interesting characters, beautiful scenery and the generous spirit found in small town America.
Each city will feature guest speakers including authors, volunteers, members of the A.T. community, and 2,000-milers (those who have hiked the entire A.T.). Guests will hear their stories and have the chance to win prizes. Each admission comes with a one year membership to the ATC. Children thirteen and under are admitted free.
"The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is excited to host this membership drive as it offers an unique opportunity to connect communities with the Appalachian Trail", said Javier Folgar, director of marketing and communications at the ATC.

Enigma Machine
In-form man of the season, Graeme S-Works Destroyer Raeburn, has today begun the Cent Cols Challenge as part of a plucky Rapha team of four that also includes Portland's Ira Ryan, RoadCyclingUK's David Arthur, and our Rapha competition winner, Nick Amlot.
The question, for a man hell-bent on the extreme is, what bike is up to the task? Apparently, there is only one answer: The Enigma Elite XCR. Made from a very exotic tubeset, Mark Reilly of Enigma Bikes says:
XCR, what can I say? I think it's the best steel tubeset I have ever ridden, the ride is absolutely incredible. The raw tubes themselves are finished to superb standard, and it's a joy to work with!
Receiving his Enigma last Friday, Graeme built it up with his own handbuilt wheels (Mavic Open Pros on Chris King hubs), Dura Ace groupset, Thomson seatpost and stem, Specialized saddle and Pro carbon bars.
Graeme says of his new ride:
Superb work. Very comfortable ride from the XCr […] sharp yet compliant handling, light, and superb fit (what? no 10 inch drop to the bars?!), for want of a less tacky expression I'd describe it 'dreamlike'.
Here's wishing Graeme the best of luck on his Cent Cols adventure.

Ties to university run deep
Last Updated: 11:57 September 13, 2013
Lately, I've been reflecting on my personal as well as professional connections with the University of Colorado-Boulder. The "Forever Buffs" initiative of the CU Alumni Association rings true. The program seeks to encourage connections among CU-Boulder alumni and students, and with the university overall.
It's been 25 years since I graduated from CU with a bachelor's degree in journalism in 1988. (That milestone just dawned on me at this writing.) CU-Boulder is where I landed after completing four years with the U.S. Marine Corps, and I count my years at CU among the best of my life. (And it's where I met my wife of 23 years.)
Since returning to Boulder to run the Boulder County Business Report in 2008 after five years at the Denver Business Journal and 13 years at the Northern Colorado Business Report in Fort Collins, I've found myself thinking almost daily about CU – past and present – for one reason or another.
I'm on campus or involved with CU a lot. Here are some of the CU-related activities I've had on my calendar in recent weeks:
• Various trips to see my son, Tommy, now a junior at CU, majoring in journalism. While my journalism courses focused on news writing, editing, mass-communication law and other topics, he undoubtedly will study the challenges facing journalism in the wake of the decline of daily newspapers. We try to have lunch once a week, often in the Alferd Packer Grill (not all that much different in terms of food fare than when I attended CU.)
• CU Buffs Kickoff Luncheon, Aug. 29. It's always a fall highlight to attend this annual celebration of CU athletics and pep rally for the football team. This year, the Business Report was able to distribute our new Buffalo Kickoff Fall Football Preview to the more than 900 attendees at Balch Fieldhouse. We even had a Colorado State University grad at our table. She was a great sport (although I don't think she joined in the CU fight song.)
• CU's home football opener against Central Arkansas. My family attended this game, walking through the beautiful campus and joining a crowd of mostly students singing the fight song afterwards as we exited Folsom Field.
• Conference call with CU and city of Boulder officials to discuss Net Zero Cities, a two-day event that we organize in concert with the Northern Colorado Business Report, the cities of Fort Collins and Loveland, and the Colorado Clean Energy Cluster. This event might come to Boulder in 2014.
• Discussions with officials from CU-Boulder, as well as the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Colorado State University, about the next edition of Research Colorado, highlighting research initiatives at the three schools, as well as other research institutions in Colorado.
• Read with interest reports of CU-Boulder's new Office of Industry Collaboration and a similar initiative systemwide. (See related editorial.)
And on and on. CU represents an integral part of the Boulder and Colorado economies. But some ties run deeper.

Ernest Lehman
It has come to my attention that I have committed a grave error (no pun intended). I have used many photos from findagrave without obtaining permission from the contributors. I am now going through my ancestry.com tree and trying to correct this oversight.
I seem to have one of yours: Ernest C. Lehman, buried in South Whitley Cem - South Whitley, Whitley, IN.
Would it be okay with you if I keep your headstone photo of Ernest in my ancestry tree? I have updated the information there and added credit to you, but I will remove the whole thing if you wish.
Thank you for your consideration!

Ott Family
Thank you for your photos taken at the Wolf Lake Cemetery. Stephen Dale Ott was my aunt and uncles infant son. He died at birth and I was only six years old. I remember the funeral and how small the casket was. Thomas and Wilma became my favorite Aunt and Uncle. They later had a daughter Mary Lou Ott who I became very close to, as her cousin. She had one son Adam Huntley. Mary Lou Passed away about two years ago. Her grandson is buried next to her and the Ott family. My Grandfather and my Grandfather are also buried there. His name was Charles A and hers was Mary Jane.
My mother was their oldest child and her name was Mildred Ott. She married Dr. Richard T. Moore who, of course, is my father. She also had two brothers James Ott and Thomas Ott.
James and his wife Hazel are buried in a cemetery in Marriam, IN. Now, that is a whole story in itself as to why they weren't buried in the same location. I could go on but that is enough for now. If I can be of any help to anyone, about the Ott family, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I would be happy to assist in anyway I can.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Andy Dalton threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, A.J. Green caught a touchdown pass in his ninth straight game and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the woeful Kansas City Chiefs 28-6 on Sunday.
Green finished with six catches for 91 yards in another dazzling performance, Mohamed Sanu had a scoring grab and BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 101 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals (5-5) won their second straight following a maddening four-game losing streak.
Cincinnati now plays its next four games against teams with losing records.
None of them are as bad as the Chiefs.
Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing for Kansas City (1-9), but that was the only highlight for a team that lost its seventh straight amid a gloomy crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.
Chiefs fall to Bengals and fall to 1-9

Going home for the holidays can easily turn into a high-stress situation as millions of Americans clog the highways and airports during the year's busiest travel time.
Travelzoo recently released a collection of tips to help travelers alleviate the stress of, and save money on, holiday travel.
1. Download popular travel apps that save you time and money. Apps like Waze GPS navigation or Google Maps help you avoid traffic jams and get the best routes. Find last-minute restaurant deals once you arrive with Travelzoo's mobile app.
2. Pick the right day to fly. Be flexible with your travel dates. Flying on Thanksgiving or Christmas day can be less expensive than surrounding days. Be flexible on your departure and arrival dates to save 30 to 50 percent.
3. Choose a smaller airport. Try alternative airports: Oakland vs. San Francisco, Midway vs. O'Hare, Burbank vs. LAX, Westchester vs. JFK. Search for fares on Fly.com and receive an alert if there's a cheaper fare from a nearby airport.
4. Connect south. Pick the southernmost airport for connections to avoid potential weather delays.
5. Choose a destination not celebrating a holiday. The Caribbean on Thanksgiving costs less than Orlando because families often stay in the U.S. over the holidays.
6. Book a room at a business hotel. Hotels in major cities drop rates because of the lack of business travelers during holidays.
7. Head to the beach. Beachfront resorts are quieter in the winter or fall. Save as much as 30 percent at destinations like Cape Cod, Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach.
8. Cruise through the holiday. Holiday cruises offer the best value for the entire family--some offers are less than $100 per person, per night--plus you can see several destinations in a single trip.
9. Be smart at airport security. CLEAR or the TSA Pre-Check Program can help you speed through security. Ship gifts instead of bringing them in your carry-on.
10. De-stress at a premium airport lounge. Buy a single-day pass to a premium lounge as a way to escape the noise of airport terminals. You'll arrive more rested, relaxed and ready for holiday fun.

Inspired by the remarkable real life story of one boy's cinematic awakening, writer/director Patrick Read Johnson's semi-autobiographical drama 77 follows the story of an enthusiastic young film fanatic from Wadsworth, Illinois who sets out to produce home-brewed sequels to his favorite sci-fi films, and eventually finds himself at an advance screening of the film that will virtually define the entire genre for generations of movie lovers. Ever since his first viewing of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Patrick Read Johnson (John Frances Daley) has been a die-hard science fiction fan. But life for a movie geek isn't easy in the Midwest, so in order to pass the time, Patrick and his friends begin crafting cheaply budgeted sequels to the sci-fi classic that inspired them. Later, while visiting Hollywood, Patrick meets American Cinematographer editor Herb Lightman (Austin Pendleton), and talking special effects with an ambitious young director named Steven Spielberg. Upon receiving an invitation to an advance screening of a small science fiction film entitled Star Wars, the young film enthusiast from Illinois finds himself at the creative epicenter of a true big screen phenomenon. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The half-hour FOX sitcom Kitchen Confidential was inspired by the warts-and-all memoirs of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain. Bradley Cooper headed the cast as Jack, a infamous "bad boy" chef who had destroyed his career through a combination of bad drugs, bad booze, and bad women. After hitting rock bottom (he couldn't even hold down a fry-cook job in a theme restaurant), Jack was given a second chance by the owner of a upscale New York restaurant -- provided he could assemble a kitchen staff and serve hundreds of A-list guests within 48 hours. In desperation, Jack pulled together a number of eccentrics, goof-offs, and looney tunes from his culinary past, including troublesome chefs Steve Daedelus (Owain Yeoman) and Seth Richman (Nicholas Brendon), novice pastry chef Jim (John F. Daley), and sassy hostess Tanya (Jaime King). Hoping against hope that Jack would fall flat on his keester was the restaurant owner's vituperative daughter Mimi (Bonnie Somerville). Created by Sex and the City's Darren Star, Kitchen Confidential premiered September 19, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Regular Joe [TV Series]
Co-created by series star Daniel Stern, the ABC sitcom Regular Joe cast Stern as Joe Binder, the recently widowed owner of a hardware store. Joe lived with his well-meaning but overbearing father, Baxter (Judd Hirsch), his high-schooler son, Grant (John Francis Daley), and his college-coed daughter, Joanie (Kelly Karbacz) -- who also happened to be a single mother, with a cute baby daughter named Zoe. When not at home, Joe worked overtime at his store, assisted by Grant and high-strung clerk Sitvar (Brian George). Evidently, this property underwent a great many alterations before it was unveiled to the public, notably the changing of Stern's character name from Joe Herman to Joe Binder. Regular Joe premiered March 28, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Though it didn't even make it through its inaugural season on NBC, this 1999-2000 cult hit helped launch the career of many a fine young actor and attracted a huge new audience upon its elaborate DVD release in 2004. An ensemble comedy drama about a group of misfits growing up in the Detroit suburbs in the early '80s, Freaks and Geeks was the brainchild of executive producer Judd Apatow. With a writing staff that included indie-film mainstay Mike White, Apatow set out to chronicle those twin crossroads of adolescence: the move from junior high to high school, and the choice between stoner antics and goody two-shoes academics. To unite his two titular cliques into a single fictional framework, Apatow created the Weir family: Lindsay (Linda Cardellini), a brainy "mathlete" newly turned on to the thrill of rebellion; Sam (John Francis Daley), her swooningly romantic pipsqueak brother; and their rock-solid if painfully earnest parents, Harold (Joe Flaherty) and Jean (Becky Ann Baker). James Franco, soon to find movie stardom in the Spider-Man flicks, portrayed freak king Daniel Desario, a charismatic layabout and the object of Lindsay's secret affections. Busy Philipps, a future Dawson's Creek star, played his volcanic girlfriend, Kim Kelly, while Seth Rogen and Jason Segel played beta-male losers Ken Miller and Nick Andopolis. As for the geeks, young Sam found himself joined at the hip by asthmatic Bill Haverchuck (Martin Starr) and dapper, if tiny, Neal Schweiber (Samm Levine). With storylines that bounced back and forth between both groups and broke down the mythic high-school hierarchy developed in the '80s oeuvre of John Hughes, Freaks and Geeks earned plenty of critical praise upon its inaugural run. Despite its rich, character-driven humor and nostalgic, retro setting, the series dealt with all sorts of weighty issues: domestic violence, drugs and alcohol, single motherhood, and simple adolescence. NBC declined to air one episode, "Kim Kelly Is My Friend," deeming its family psychodrama too disturbing. The series was soon canceled, leaving several unaired episodes. But thank to Internet fandom and growing word of mouth, Freaks and Geeks cemented its status as the coulda-been hit that was snuffed out too early, and the clamor for a DVD release reached a deafening roar. By the time the complete series, including unaired episodes, was released in 2004, the show's reputation had grown to the point where a deluxe edition -- including a fake high-school yearbook -- could be released and even the regular edition boasted more commentary tracks than there were episodes. Since the show's cancellation, star Cardellini has gone on to greater fame in the Scooby-Doo movies and on ER, while her cast mates have turned up in all sorts of unexpected places. But for a large contingent of obsessive Freaks and Geeks fans, the actress will always be identified with her character's signature green jacket. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Learn why you should never send your food back and other valuable lessons in this over-the-top comedy set in the food service industry. Dean (Justin Long) and Monty (Ryan Reynolds) are two longtime friends who work as waiters as Shenanigan's, a self-consciously "fun" chain restaurant. Both have been working at the restaurant since they graduated from high school; it's only recently occurred to Dean that he has nothing to show for the last four years of his life but a community college diploma and his name tag from work, and he's developed a sudden urgency to make something of himself. Monty, on the other hand, is more interested in making time with the women on the wait staff at work than accomplishing anything, though his recent relationship with fellow employee Serena (Anna Faris) has rather dramatically crashed and burned. Over the course of an evening at Shenanigan's, Dean and Monty confront obnoxious customers and train timid new employee Mitch (John Francis Daley) while dealing with wildly eccentric chef Raddimus (Luis Guzman), control-freak manager Dan (David Koechner), and a kitchen full of crazed cooks, prep workers, and dish-washers. Waiting was the first feature film from writer and director Rob McKittrick. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Partners for 30 years, illusionists Burt and Anton made the Las Vegas Strip a magical place to be. But lately Burt and Anton's ticket sales have plummeted right alongside their once-strong partnership, allowing gritty street wizard Steve Gray (Carrey) an opportunity to steal their runic thunder. Now, in order for old dogs Burt and Anton to reclaim their rightful status as the best magicians on the Strip, they must learn some dazzling new tricks, and patch up their fractured friendship in the process. Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin, and James Gandolfini co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Picking up precisely where its hit predecessor left off, Sony Pictures Animation's Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 finds Flint Lockwood (voice of Bill Hader) invited to join the Live Corp Company, and use his gift for invention for the good of mankind. Just as young Flint prepares to go to work for his hero Chester V (voice of Will Forte), however, the young genius learns that his water-to-food machine is not only still functional, but it's also started cross-breeding animals with food. Now, in order to prevent a growing army of "foodimals" from escaping isolation on an island and wreaking havoc on the mainland, Flint and his loyal group of friends will have to do battle with such delicious, but deadly, hybrids as the ferocious tacodiles, slithering apple pie-thons, and vine-swinging shrimpanzees. Saving the world from these rampaging monstrosities won't be easy, but if anyone is up to the task, it's Flint and company. Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn takes the reins for this sequel also featuring vocal contributions by Anna Faris, James Caan, Kristen Schaal, Terry Crews, Andy Samberg, Neil Patrick Harris, and Benjamin Bratt. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I had to share this video from LightHearted Photography that I put together of the homecoming of the USS Boise for an Operation: Love Reunited photo session I did for my friend Leslie. Her husband is the skipper of the Boise and they really wanted something that would capture not just their reunion, but the homecomings of all of the Boise sailors.
I love shooting homecomings. They never fail to move me and they make me so proud of our military families and all that they do.

I've recently released a couple of information products and would like to get feedback about them from my customers (testimonials would be even better!).
Simply sending a nice email and asking for feedback yielded zero results, so I'm wondering if I could offer some incentive, e.g. an Amazon gift card. I've read about a company which had great success with getting feedback that way from people who cancelled their service.
Has anyone tried this? Does it sound like a good idea?

Saturday delivery
Magazine company backs postal cuts
- DispatchPolitics.com
Complete coverage of Ohio politics - The Daily Briefing
The Dispatch's public affairs team sates the appetites of political junkies with bite-sized portions of the news and what's behind it. - Buckeye Forum
Veteran political reporters examine Ohio politics in this weekly podcast.
WASHINGTON - Time Warner, publisher of more than 20 magazines, including Sports Illustrated and People, said yesterday that it supports the Postal Service's proposal to end Saturday mail delivery.
The newsweekly Time would have to shift production and delivery cycles to accommodate the change, said Jim O'Brien, vice president of distribution and regulatory affairs at the company's Time Inc. periodical division.
"We rely on the Postal Service to deliver our magazines, our direct mail and our bills," he said. "We need a healthy Postal Service."
The Postal Service, which lost $1.6 billion in its most-recent fiscal quarter, is making the case to customers, Congress and regulators that mail volume will continue to decline as consumers switch to electronic communication.
Postmaster General John Potter met with Time Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ann Moore about the need to cut delivery.
"I explained the economics, and they quickly came around," Potter said.
The Postal Service has said eliminating one delivery day would save $3 billion a year.
The agency has said it might lose $7 billion this year and a cumulative $238 billion by 2020.
Congress must approve any cutback in service.
Mail volume dropped 6.3 percent in the six months through March 31, Postal Service Chief Financial Officer Joseph Corbett said last week. The agency cut work hours 7.5 percent in the period.

Not so, said Ed Tichenor, head of Palm Beach County Reef Rescue and long-time reef advocate. Privatizing the reefs would require a major overhaul of long-standing legal regulations and principals, such as the Public Trust Doctrine, which holds that publicly owned natural resources are important to everyone and therefore everyone should have access.
"The coral reefs in Florida are a natural resource," Tichenor said. "You can't assign ownership to a hotel or a cruise ship."
Joe Browder, a longtime Everglades advocate and official in the Department of Interior during the Carter Administration, likens the reef privatization proposal to periodic efforts to allow developers to build resorts in the national parks. Browder, who also taught a course on private enterprise and the environment at Johns Hopkins University, called the idea "absurd" and proposed by "people on the fringes."
"They have spent decades trying to persuade the world that public ownership of land is no good and if the land has any real value, somebody in the private market will manage it better," Browder said.
Sean Morton, superintendent of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, said pay-to-play proposals and user fees are not new. What is often ignored is administering, managing and enforcing such ideas. Who and how would leases be auctioned, permits issued and territory rights be enforced?
"You want to float an idea like that, it's going to require a lot of work and discussion," Morton said. "I think it's an interesting academic discussion but I cautioned them — come to a public meeting and see what kind of reaction you would get."

Storage volumes are doubling every 2 years, and data is only going to keep growing faster.
The traditional method of simply adding capacity to existing systems is no longer economical, because data growth is likely going to overwhelm whatever forklift upgrades you pay for today.
The good news is that storage architectures are now designed to scale proportionally along with your data and adapt to rapidly-changing IT demands. Modern storage also saves you a considerable amount of money and management time. Check out this 2-page white paper to learn more.

The Middle East and North Africa is a region rife with tension and instability. People are being killed in conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and between Israelis and Palestinians.
Countries such as Lebanon face the threat of becoming active war zones because of political uncertainty over who will lead the nation into the future. Many Lebanese fear that another devastating civil war could break out at any moment.
A large number of countries in the region are politically stable, but lack real political freedom, which makes their populaces worry about the future as their long-time leaders grow older. The lack of jobs and hope for a positive future among young people also leads to tensions that sometimes boil over into riots.
Other widespread societal problems in the region include lack of women's empowerment, stress caused by high unemployment, spousal abuse, lack of quality educational opportunities, and increased drug use, which increase tensions and conflict.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is currently conducting research into integrated predictive demand response (IPDR) controllers.
The project team will attempt to design an IPDR controller so that it can be used in new or existing buildings or in collections of buildings. In the case of collections of buildings, they may be colocated on a single campus or remotely located as long as they are served by a single utility or independent service operator.
This project seeks to perform the necessary applied research, development, and testing to provide a communications interface using industry standard open protocols and emerging National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards to receive real-time pricing signals from utilities or power retailers. The system will use the open-automated demand response protocol or other utility protocol standards to receive curtailment signals and real-time pricing data.
Research is being undertaken by DOE and Johnson Controls, Inc.
The goal of this project is to ensure reliable and affordable electricity by taking advantage of the significant potential to reduce demand in buildings and give building owners and occupants an automated means to respond to real-time pricing signals, critical-peak pricing signals, or curtailment events to minimize their energy costs while maintaining occupant comfort and productivity.
This project will research and develop controllers, which are key enabling technologies for achieving net-zero energy, high-performance buildings over the next decade. These technologies enable an energy reduction strategy that operates against the largest loads in a commercial building—such as heating, cooling, lighting, computer, and plug loads—when the electric grid is stressed. If successful, at completion of this project, this system will be ready to be deployed commercially to an existing market channel providing job creation and preservation within the building controls industry.
