The recently published book, Australia's Regional Advantage - Innovative Approaches to Achieving National Outcomes, features case studies and papers from SEGRA.
Regional areas are key building blocks of society in many countries. This compilation uses Australian case study examples to demonstrate how regional areas are uniquely well-placed to contribute to national goals in innovation, infrastructure provision, water and food security, environmental sustainability, industry diversification, healthy and liveable communities, and natural disaster preparedness and response.
Each of these themes is examined in the context of using innovative approaches from regions to deliver outcomes that are nationally significant. Authorship is drawn from a balance of leading practitioners and academics to provide stories that are both engaging and rigorous. The case studies are contextualised by an analysis of regional advantage literature, discussion on the regional policy implications and lessons, and commentary around the key trends and drivers for innovation and regional advantage in Australia. The book provides a convincing argument that focusing on regional innovation and development offers significant benefits to a nation as a whole.
To order a copy of the book, simply complete and submit the order form.

Stave, Ball lead Wisconsin over Illinois 31-14
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Joel Stave threw two touchdown passes and Wisconsin's running game showed signs of life as the Badgers defeated Illinois 31-14 on Saturday. Stave threw for 254 yards for the Badgers (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten), who rushed for 173 yards — 96 in the fourth quarter.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Joel Stave threw two touchdown passes and Wisconsin's running game showed signs of life as the Badgers defeated Illinois 31-14 on Saturday.
Stave threw for 254 yards for the Badgers (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten), who rushed for 173 yards — 96 in the fourth quarter.
The offensive struggles of the Illini (2-4, 0-2) continued, with quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase the only positive. He finished with 178 yards passing and 84 rushing as Illinois gained 287 yards overall.
Scheelhaase ran for a 5-yard touchdown in the first quarter and threw for an 8-yard touchdown to Ryan Lankford to make it 24-14 late in the game.
But Jared Abbrederis fielded the ensuing onside kick, and Montee Ball scored his second touchdown of the game to snuff any hopes of an Illinois comeback.
Ball has 59 rushing TDs in his career, nine shy of the NCAA record. He finished with 19 carries for 116 yards.
Abbrederis caught Stave's 59-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that put Wisconsin up 24-7 and gave him his third consecutive game with more than 100 receiving yards since returning from an injury. He finished with seven catches for 117 yards.
The Badgers capitalized on a pair of Illinois miscues for their other second-half points.
With the game tied at 7-7, Stave hit Derek Watt for 26 yards, and Illinois defensive back Terry Hawthorne was called for a personal foul on the hit, putting the ball at the Illinois 33.
Following the collision, Hawthorne lay motionless on the field and was put on a stretcher and taken off in an ambulance, giving a thumbs up as he was loaded into the vehicle.
The drive ended when Kyle French made a 46-yard field goal.
Illinois' next drive stalled near midfield, and a shanked 10-yard punt by Justin DuVernois gave Wisconsin good field position. James White had a 22-yard run, Stave hit Abbrederis for 15 yards, and Ball ran it in from 9 yards out to put Wisconsin up 17-7.
As Wisconsin's offense has struggled, coach Bret Bielema has gone back and forth between Stave and Danny O'Brien at quarterback. Stave started the game, but Bielema went to a third option at the end of the first quarter, bringing in Curt Phillips.
Phillips has had multiple surgeries on his right knee, has thrown just 13 passes in his career and hadn't played since the 2009 regular season finale at Hawaii. He handed off to end the first quarter, kept the ball for a 2-yard loss to open the second and gave way to Stave on third down.
The juggling didn't work. Stave was picked off, with Steve Hull returning the ball to the Wisconsin 28. Scheelhaase completed a pass for 23 yards to give the Illini first-and-goal at the 5 before running it in on the next play.
Stave hit James White for a 62-yard touchdown on a screen pass.
Illinois 0 7 0 7—14
Wisconsin 0 7 3 21—31

Babette's Cafe
Online Reservations
This invariably excellent restaurant is thankfully still popular. The diners are never rushed, and the dining rooms fill up to capacity. That gradually generates the happy din of satisfied customers, until the noise level is distracting. Join the earlier crowds to avoid the noise.
The food was great French inspired fare. Service was good and the location is quaint. We sat on the deck to enjoy the nice fall evening. However, others on the deck wanted the heaters on constantly. I find this a bit ridiculous as it was not that cool to begin with and if you are that cold natured, you need to be sitting inside the restaurant. If you are cold go inside......don't spoil it for others by roasting us with the heater. The restaurant really needs to fix this situation on the deck. They need to use smaller heating units that are better positioned and put them on separate circuits. Evidently the heaters had to be turned on in unison or left off, which again is a ridiculous situation. Don't go here to enjoy the deck!!!!
This was a special dinner occasion made more so by the very good food and the outstanding service by Robin.
Food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. Went there for my grandmother's 100th birthday and it was lovely!
Once again we ventured down from Alpharetta with friends to partake of Marla's Euro-cooking. Once again, fabulous. This is a gem of a restaurant, the way Old World dining should be.
This was our first time here. We absolutely loved it! My husband wants to go back for his birthday next month. The food and drinks were amazing! We saw several other entrees we want to try as well. The Doberge Cake was to die for! Our server took very good care of us and the owner came by to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Overall, an A+ experience.
Service was excellent, including being prompt seating and ordering, flexibility, quick provision of extra items, informative descriptions, despite the restaurant being full. The valet was also very quick. Food was generally quite good. The ravioli were a bit cold and the sauce was not great. The escargot were an interesting twist on a common dish. I've had better paella elsewhere, but it was still quite tasty. The 10 layer cake was fantastic. The had a cosy and convivial atmosphere.
Always great food and service. I visit the restaurant whever I can, especially holidays.
food was great, ambience also great, they have figured out the previous noisiness, it is very conversation friendly now.
This place NEVER fails me! It's always awesome. At some point, I will try something other than brunch, but fir now,this place is my favorite go to for that. :)
Cant say enough about what an outstanding meal this was at such a great price. Atlanta is lucky!! Even dealt seamlessly with my dairy allergy and gluten intolerance -- at a French Restaurant! Exquisite.
All around great place. Have been there twice now and enjoyed everything both times. Its a great little place I'm happy to return to. Superb place for a intimate date. Will definitely recommend to others.
This was my second time dining at Babette's and both meals have been very good. The first occasion was two years ago, at the time of my daughter's graduation from Emory. The menu has a nice array of options, including a prix fixe choice, and well-chosen wine list. Prices are quite reasonable, and the setting in an old house has a very comfortable feel. Service on both occasions has been attentive but not cloying, and the food is well prepared and presented with flair. The menu is more traditional than innovative, but most diners will find something to please.
The normal menu is excellent and varied and the special (talapia) made it even better.
Try this place. An old standard but still great food and service like eating a great meal in a country French home. Fresh ingredients. Fair prices. Try the cassoulet .
On a whim - make reservations based on site reviews - totally worth the experience and now on top 5 Atlanta must-do restaurants...excellent food, good variety - wait staff a delight; busy place but did not feel rushed....cherry and almond tart is worth the calories; Schroom and spinach crepes - a delight; Pear Martini - would have now if I could
In the three or four times we have been to Babette's, the food has always been very good. The wait staff is very "iffy". We have had one truly excellent waiter experience (Robin), one really bad one (arrogant and indifferent), and one mediocre (bored and indifferent).
Sunday bruch can be bedlam. We made OT reservations but we're held up by traffic. They were full but Marla works the restaurant like a video game and got us a spot quickly with no fuss. Robin, our favorite server was at the top of his game and the food, as always, was wonderful.
We had a great meal on our 30th wedding anniversary.
My girlfriend recommended this restaurant for a special dinner and it was perfect for intimacy, talking quietly and excellent food. We sat on the outside deck which had heaters to ease the November evening chill. Everyone who worked there was very nice. We will go back for anniversaries.
There is a reason we have been going regularly to Babette's for over 20 years: it is consistently outstanding!
Good food, nicely plated, with a courteous staff and pleasant atmosphere
The service was great and the food very good. The lamb chops were way overcooked but they brought me two cooked properly at no charge.
It was a Wednesday night; I thought it would be quiet, but, Babette's is so good that who could resent that other people were in MY restaurant enjoying themselves. So, it made for a more energetic noise level, at least there was no lounge singer! I tell you the food is amazing. I and my gorgeous date had the mushroom and spinach crepes......these are for connoisseurs only.
I liked the interior of the restaurant: it was very quaint. I took my girlfriend here to have a nice dinner and we had a wonderful time. I had the veal and she had the duck. The veal was nice, I had never had veal before but I thought it was very nice and flavorful. My girlfriend loved the duck; it was very tender. The wine that our server recommended was great. It was the Baileyana Pinot Noir, and it was very smooth. For dessert we went with the cherry tart (delicious, especially the crust) and I had the Amaretto Cappucino because I like a good coffee and liquor mix. Overall it was a great experience and I'm looking forward to coming back!
This is my third time visiting Babette's while stopping in Atlanta to visit my college student. We both know that Babette's offers a warm, inviting and comfortable ambience along with a knowledgeable wait staff who can easily guide you through wine selections to complement their delicious dishes. Babette's has become a staple on my visits to Atlanta.
This was our first visit to Babatte's Café. The meal could not have been better. We were early for our reservation so we took a seat at the bar, we asked the bartender if there was anything special she made, we just told her our liquor of choice and she whipped up a couple of outstanding drinks. Upon being seated bread was quick to come out and what a great crusty French bread it was. We started with the Spinach and mushroom crepe and the goat cheese and artichoke ravioli. These were both excellent, very light but rich with the sauce, a perfect combination. I had the Braised short rib and my date had the lamb chops. Again both dishes were excellent. I can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu.
We (2 of us) had reservations and arrived within 5 minutes of that time. We were seated and served right away and our server was pleasant and attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed my bacon and onion quiche, a small but tasty side salad and the half-basket of fresh strawberry muffins/chocolate chip scone (w/sea salt), and generous cup of fresh coffee that was refilled without my asking. The only thing that prevented me from rating the overall experience as "outstanding" was that our two-person table was right beside the side door that a number of parties used. Thank goodness it was a sunny, warm fall day, so the door's opening wasn't too uncomfortable for us. Loved the French country decor and the complimentary valet parketing, too!
We had a wonderfully romantic and delicious dinner. The cherry tart for desert was the icing on the experience.
Our visit to Babette's was a special experience. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. My wife crowed about the best squash soup she ever had. My sole was the best fish dish I had ever eaten. In fact the whole experience was special. Thank you.
I have been a regular at Babette's for at least 20 years, i.e., since they opened at the original location. A few of the same dishes that were there on opening day are still there and going strong (romaine, arugula and parmesan salad, for instance). Marla is a gem of a person and quite a talented chef. Her ability to feed you well, serve wonderful wines and provide an atmosphere of "at home and at ease" has never been anything short of amazing. John Messer Miami Beach (originally Atlanta)
Great traditional French food in a warm, quiet setting.
We love it! - great atmosphere, comfortable; excellent food & good wine selection. New to us: soup tastings at a lower price. Hint: Once I started tasting the soup, found I couldn't stop til it was gone, so thankful for the "taste portion"! Recommend the artichoke & olive ravioli. Get it just for the sauce! For the main, I had the grilled filet with Gorgonzola sauce - at one point, I had french bread in one hand and was eyeing the sauce on the plate ... thank goodness for my wife telling me "don't even think about it"!
You can't go wrong with Babette's. Amazing food, amazing service, wonderful atmosphere. Great for family dinners.
This is always the key to a fine restaurant. You know you will be getting the best, every time. There were three in our party and we all had a lovely meal, eating different things which we shared a bit with one another. The service was very good, but not hovering. As usual, they were very busy - sign of great food and great service.
We had a wonderful dinner for our friends' 10th anniversary -- the food was delicious and the service was outstanding. We came from Suwanee and it was well worth the drive. The only slight issue was they were out of one of the entrees someone had to reorder but other than that, it was perfect. Our table of 8 reservation was at 8:30pm, we arrived at 8:15 and they were ready for us. I ordered the chocolate cake with fudge icing ahead of time and they personalized the cake with writing - a nice touch. It was a huge hit even though everyone was very satisfied from dinner. Service was personable but not intrusive. They made our evening special -- we will return!
Babette's is one of our favorite Atlanta restaurants. Located in Inman park, it's just minutes from downtown. The menu is always updated and fresh and service is great with attentive but not overindulgent staff. A definite crowd pleaser...even makes the foodie happy!
The food was great, as always - the one exception always being the bread, which didn't apply Sunday, as we ordered, at extra charge, a basket of muffins and scones and were not served the usual very ho-hum grocery store small baguettes. They are brought hot and crisp, but that is not tasty bread and I wish Babette's would serve a better quality bread with good crumb and pleasing crust.
Just a great and consistent experience. Truly one of the best restaurants we have in all of Atlanta.
Our waiter, Robin, recommended that we try the 'Chicken with Wild Mushroom Soup' that was new on the Fall menu. Boy, it was G-R-E-A-T. All of Marla's soups are outstanding along the rest of her menu selections. My wife had the 'Shrimp Risotto' which was cooked just perfectly. I had the 'Grilled Filet Mignon with Gorgonzola Sauce' which can NOT be beat. Top Notch Wait Service from Robin as usual. Still our 'Favorite' restaurant.
Great spot for brunch. Great food, wonderful service and valet parking. Also, a lovely bar for while you are waiting for your table. Reservations recommended for faster seating.
Great restaurant...one of my favorites in the city. Marla is great and always makes me and my partner feel so welcome! They have a great Sunday brunch too!
I can't believe i've skipped over this restaurant for so long. Everything was great. The Mussels were exceptional. Robin, our server, was just excellent. Go now.
since I'm on their mailing list I got a message they were feayuring beed stroganoff last week. So I contacted a friend and we immediately made reservations to enjoy that. As always the food was superb and the service excellent. Babbette's has become one of my favorite Atlanta restaurants.
We love this restaurant and always recommended when asked. This passed weekend we went because of a email we revived . The chef was so making this Beef stroganoff. We had it last year when it was a special. When we got there they also had a new pasta dish. The name doesn't give this pasta justice. Pasta with onions was one of the best items I've had in a long time. The sauce was so rich and amazing. You can't go wrong at this restaurant. Great place to enjoy a drink at the bar. Then sit down and enjoy a great bottle of wine and A delicious meal. Please save room for dessert. The has a seven layer cake that is amazing. What I also like about this restaurant is the chef comes to the tables.
Used open table to set the time and no issues. Babette's is a great little french Cafe. The food is fresh, and creative yet traditional. I had my daughters get there early to surprise my wife and they were already seated when we arrived.
The term "neighborhood gem" could not be more fitting for Babette's. The kitchen and staff consistently deliver a warm and wonderful experience to their loyal patrons. Food is delicious and is paired with a relatively small but worthy and varied wine list. Chef Marla still works in the kitchen and works the room like she's hosting guests in her home.
We enjoyed our first visit to Babette's Cafe. We will return. It was a wonderful evening.
Another terrific meal at this lovely restaurant. The main course selection is awesome and only things preventing a fifth star was the uninterested server (not very polished or helpful) and the somewhat uninspired dessert selection. Otherwise, this place is a winner!
We love to go to this wonderful restaurant, and special occasions are a great excuse to treat ourselves. The service is impeccable, the food thoughtfully prepared and presented, and the atmosphere conducive to conversation with one's dinner partner. It's a favorite that never disappoints us!

We purchased this to be installed in the custom outdoor firepit we got built. The order arrived timely and the product quality is very good. We topped the burner with black fireglass mixed with champagne fireglass topper. This combination at 7/1 ratio provided a beautiful glow. The only reason for not rating this excellent is that I would have preferred a more dense configuration of holes in the burner. The burner itself is of very high quality material and workmanship. Furthermore, I could not find a more intense burner anyway and did not want to risk spending $300-$400 in getting a custom one built with questionable quality.

Perthshire is nice ... ;)
You are looking at the expensive season, school holidays always bump up the prices.
We need more info before we can suggest anything? seaside? camp site? UK or abroad? |
Centre Parks, Butlins, Oasis.
I went to Oasis when the kids were small. Loved it. |
Greece has some very good offers for August at the moment, I was looking myself a couple of weeks ago/
Question Author
We were supposed to be visiting Aunty Sue in Perthshire but even that is up in the air.
oh and let's not forget this: http:// |

Good questions Boxy:
Seaside would be preferable. Camping is a possible but we can't forget the rain. Abroad would be considered. Not much of a help was it!! |

I did see a week in Corfu for £1500 for the 5 of us from East Midlands (very handy)....very tempting! |
What about a Eurocamp holiday? It combines the cheapness of camping with being abroad
Holiday park in Cornwall in a static caravan?
Question Author
We've been on a Eurocamp holiday already this year (I fear we may be heading for another). We went to Vendee in France in mid May. It looked a bit like Skegness out of season; I hate to think what it is like in July/Aug.
As for budget.....I don't want to pay more than £400 for uk or £700 for Europe and yes I am a bit tight!! |
a friend with 3 younger children swears by Centre Parks...she has been a few
times. |
I'd grab the Corfu deal, no contest.
very hot in Corfu in August; take gallons of sunscreen if you take that option. And you'd presumably want to be near a beach, not up in the hills.
Son and his family swear by Haven Holidays for the kids. Loads to do for my grandkids who are 8 and 4.
Daughter and family have just been to south of France at a Eurocamp site. They love it and go to a different region of France each year. Bit pricey though. Just back from Malta - very hot and getting very pricey too. |
Andrew - Always used Haven when my kids were that age. Pay for the holiday on camp activities. kids clubs and a bar on your door step albeit not great. You can use it as a base and not stay on site, which we did mostly.
Only thing at this type of year is availability. |

Former Cats at center of "Perfect Game-gate"
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010Lost in the controversy of Detroit's Armando Galarraga's lost perfect game was who got the phantom base hit due to the blown call from umpire Jim Joyce. That player was former Wildcat Jason Donald. With two outs in the ninth, Cleveland's Donald grounded to Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera, who threw to Galarraga covering at first, who beat Donald by half a step only to have Joyce call him safe.
Galarraga got the next batter out to preserve the shut out. That batter? Former Wildcat Trevor Crowe.
Another former Wildcat was at the game, though he did not play. Former Arizona pitcher Ryan Perry was in the bullpen watching the game.
Two more Wildcats are in the Tigers and Indians' minor league systems. Jordan Brown is a Cleveland minor leaguer, while pitcher Daniel Schlereth is in Detroits' system.

Brisbane is one of those cities that seems always to be changing, without ever losing the heart of its essential character. Change came again in January 2011, as the wide brown Brisbane River dramatically burst its banks and inundated low-lying parts of the subtropical city in an almost unprecedented flood. But in true Queenslander fashion, Brisbane and it's people bounced back, cleaned up, rebuilt, and urged visitors to come and see the changes.
Brisbane (pronounced Briz-bun), "Brizzie" to locals, functions on a very human scale. It's that most Australian of cities -- big-hearted, blue-skied, and with a down-to-earth attitude that soon rubs off on you. It's a place where you can cuddle koalas, join bronzed urbanites on the beaches on the weekend, and sunbathe by the Brisbane River whilst gazing up at the city's gleaming skyscrapers. Take the lead of the easygoing Brisbanites because Queensland's subtropical capital is too hot to rush.
Things to Do
Beyond landmarks such as the 1930s City Hall (closed to visitors for a A$215 million 3-year restoration project until late 2012) and the Treasury Building's graceful colonnades, Brisbane's major attractions are outdoors. Cool down under a canopy of subtropical foliage at the Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha. Gaze at contemporary art at the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), dinosaurs at the Queensland Museum, and at skyscrapers from the gently revolving Wheel of Brisbane. Koalas -- more than 130 of them -- beg a cuddle at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
Nightlife & Entertainment
Brisbanites party in Fortitude Valley, where live music clubs, upbeat cocktail bars, and pubs are all in the mix. For a more alternative scene, try the West End for cool bars and lounges with a boho feel. Cozy pubs and cafes stud South Bank, where buskers perform as Brisbane's high-rise cityscape lights up.
Restaurants & Dining
The city center and surrounding suburbs represent fusion cuisine at its finest. Party and dining hotspot Fortitude Valley serves the world on a plate -- everything from Spanish tapas to Thai -- in chic lounge-style restaurants. South Bank goes alfresco in casual eateries dishing up fresh seafood and modern Australian fare, with glittering Brisbane River views. Experiment with cross-cultural vegetarian and organic foods in the edgy West End.
Active Pursuits
The city's skyscrapers look different from the perspective of a rock-climber at the Kangaroo Point Cliffs. If you don't fancy those kind of heights, you might go hiking in the D'Aguilar National Park's lush bushland, or dive with angelfish and butterfly fish off dune-dotted Moreton Island instead.
Find flights to Brisbane with American Airlines for an adventure in Australia you'll always remember. From exploring the area's scenic beauty to strolling through Australia's largest modern art museum, you'll discover a variety of things to do in Brisbane. As the capital of Queensland, it's the perfect place to turn your daydreams of a trip Down Under into a reality.
Many of the most picturesque activities in Brisbane can be found in its national parks. Just east of the city lies Moreton Bay and its expansive sandbanks. Its beaches simply beckon you to spend a day relaxing. Moreton Island National Park is a protected area full of scenic spots, and the wetlands and surrounding area are home to a wide variety of birds and other wildlife, while the bay is home to diverse marine life including dolphins, loggerhead turtles, whales and dugongs (a mammal related to the manatee). In fact, Moreton Bay is the only place in all of Australia where dugongs gather in herds. If you want to stay inside Brisbane proper, pay a visit to The City Botanic Gardens. This peaceful green space is home to both indigenous and international flora, and highlights include Bamboo Grove, Mangrove Boardwalk and Weeping Fig Avenue. And of course, you should take time to appreciate the view of the city's skyline reflected in the Brisbane River (Kangaroo Point is a great place for a keepsake photo).
There are also plenty of cultural things to do in Brisbane, including visiting one of its many impressive museums. Start with the Gallery of Modern Art, or GOMA, which is the largest of its kind in Australia. It opened in 2006 as an extension of the Queensland Art Gallery, itself a leading museum. GOMA is where you'll find the institution's contemporary works and the Gallery (as the original museum is called) houses thousands of Australian and international paintings, sculptures and more. Artists whose works you can see in both buildings run the gamut from William Eggleston, Damien Hirst and Willem de Koonig to Jacopo Tintoretto, Edgar Degas and Pablo Picasso.
Add architecture appreciation to your list of activities in Brisbane. The city contains a varied array of architectural styles, from the contemporary style of GOMA to the Gothic-style Albert Street Uniting Church. Brisbane's oldest building, the Commissariat Store, was built by convicts in 1829 and today houses a museum documenting the city's heritage.
Art, nature and a cosmopolitan flair combine to make this a unique destination. Fly to Brisbane and discover the heart of Queensland, Australia, for yourself during a carefree getaway. Browse flights and start planning your trip now.

Summertime is here and that means cruising around on pink Vespas, lazing in gardens and keeping your Dalmatian hydrated. It also means grass stains, 160° on metro line 4 and more Eiffel Tower key chains than normal.
What it doesn't mean is palm trees, parasols and yachts. And that's why I'm moving to Nice. Nice is nice. Nice is colourful. Nice is strolling around with a gelato and The Girl from Ipanema in your head. On the French/Italian border I'll be able to croissant around town in the morning and play bocce ball in the afternoon. Bien! Bene! Buon…… wait, what?
Thanks, Paris, it's been a slice. A slice of the creamiest quiche Lorraine with the perfect ratio of cheese and bacon. We've had good times, we've had bad times. But most importantly we've had times. Times I'll never forget.
Now blog off.

So quarterback generally is the highest paid position and professional football and young players like Robert Griffin the third and Colin -- predictor.
Redefining the way it's played the man who may be more responsible for the innovations that will make millions of dollars -- these talented athletes and those that follow.
This cap critics college Coach and we're joined on the numbers game now by the former head football Coach university Nevada inventor the pistol offense Chris alternates.
Good to have -- -- thanks for joining us.
Good morning -- glad to be Lydia well we could talk about a whole host of a different things I think you know for people.
-- -- we're just beginning to follow this is now with the Super Bowl and can't happen it getting all the attention.
Tell us what the pistol offensive -- just about every football fan knows -- the shotgun formation.
What makes the pistol different.
Well the the biggest difference is that the quarter MacKey is certainly off the offline senator he's four yards behind the senator and -- the back lines up.
Directly behind the quarter Mac anywhere from two to three yards.
Where is in the shot -- on the back as on the side are we call the -- of the quarterback -- the differences the pistol you've got one straight line.
From the center so your back and run basically downhill.
I want to know how you came up with that are what they.
What the reason that you started to run this offense was -- -- coaching for a number of years from traditional offenses and and everything else and then.
One day said let me try something different -- a metric wasn't -- a statistic was it just to gut feeling why did you make this change in.
And what was that process of you can take -- -- Welcome -- to break fleshy I always enjoyed throwing the football -- the collegiate level and.
Always liked watching shotgun teams.
What I didn't like about the shotgun was the running game you had -- east west before you go north south.
We had been one back offense here to university in Nevada prior to that and I thought you know if you can move the quarterback off the line much like a shotgun.
And put the back directly behind and is now again when you hand the -- to the back he's going downhill.
He's going towards the line of scrimmage.
I thought I wonder -- that could work right and the toughest part about that whole thing was the actual -- Between the quarterback in the running back and of course that's what took so long to develop and.
Again when we're doing -- there was no film there's nobody to talk to and I brought it up to my staff they thought I was nuts -- -- -- can quickly go back to the drawing board.
Convince them in all -- suddenly put it out and and really it was a fun deal because it was all hardware is trial and tribulation as we move down the road.
We saw some great things about it income run downhill -- also.
Get the quarterback on the perimeter.
And how does that -- which -- critic has done so well did when he played for you and east.
And he's done a -- -- well in the NFL but why was it's so revolutionary meaning you described that if somebody just walked in our conversation her -- They wouldn't simple -- crazy but apparently they did why is that the culture of football -- mean.
Because it major more efficient team -- -- more successful offensive team in.
Early all you did if you just think about simple terms as you.
Move the quarterback is set up a little bit you move the running back instead of next him behind him so it -- it's not it's this crazy revolution but it was looked upon as if you were doing something just completely.
Out of the ordinary what do you think that this.
You know we football coaches who work on a RKQ -- copycat people and that's exactly what the situation wolf as you know money and I was like and also wouldn't it to some degree still still still somewhat like that.
But you're exactly right -- to move that quarterback away from the senator have a back directly behind -- -- got a bit it was almost a felony.
I don't we.
It's -- what you think about it I don't know but what what -- -- this adjusting to him what difference did it make.
In terms of things you can measure afterwards how did you become -- more efficient team because of that.
Of that little changed because -- -- the stats and about a split up certainly McCafferty was there.
-- you huge numbers offensively but why why were you more efficient because of that change.
Well I'll tell you what it does and number one is.
When the quarterback gets the ball and hands it to the back he's giving it to the back in a deeper area right so the back can make is cut inside or outside.
Number two is -- thing that I really enjoyed it and you're seeing -- with that cap -- -- in the forty niners and.
And RG three would would the Redskins is the play action pass off of it.
The quarterback does not have to retreat on the play action pass.
-- -- play action pass he can stand their fake and then do is retreat and make the action over the middle -- to the outside -- wants to do so.
The two ingredients that I was really looking for -- being able to run the ball downhill and then play action pass off that.
-- the reading was the third phase of the pistol that's what you're seeing.
The forty niners do that when -- can either pull the ball or is he did last week against an land him -- off twice to gore for -- -- of those two quarterbacks running -- other quarterbacks in the -- that are running some version of this and I would think next year view probably see even more of this because of the success.
That -- had this year which brings up an an interest in kind of financial question or at least it does to me.
You get these quarterback RG three was a number -- to draft pick but you know the high take -- a lot of money -- -- was the second round pick.
But do you think these mobile quarterbacks and reversible that can also throw the ball because of the success -- offense that you invented.
It'll make more money now that they'll be a higher value on them in the draft because in the -- People what president -- that kind of quarterback.
You know with obvious exceptions over the years Michael Vick on not.
But a lot of those quarterbacks had slid where's the traditional pocket passer had been.
More highly valued and made more money at least at the outset of their -- think this offense in the success that it's had will change the value system for how.
Quarterbacks get paid as they come out of college.
You know call I'm not sure about the value system but I think what is does is it is expanded the landscape of NFL football from the standpoint.
It used to be that when you said he's a running quarterback.
Those morning quarterbacks couldn't throw right now you're saying he's a running quarterback and they thrower -- and that's a whole different ball game in.
You don't have to have a -- -- the ball bunch of times in NFL but he runs and enough to keep the defense honest.
I think it forces a whole other element defensively.
That they have to consider when they're playing a team that has a quarterback -- mobile.
-- couple of other questions and I think they're related.
To each other the one that's come up in almost every article that's been written about this is is the quote pistol offense that you invented.
Here to stay.
Or is it some sort of a college gimmick that won't last people look at the wishbone always option offenses that came and went never really caught on.
In the NFL and the thing they side over and over and I guess RG three would be an unfortunate example of this Robert Griffin in Washington is that -- quarterbacks are more likely to get hurt.
So teams because of the big investments in those quarterbacks won't stay with -- so what's your answer to that here to stay vs a gimmick.
But hey it's gonna stay is the auction offenses -- quarterbacks were very average average -- this is not an option offense.
The -- is part of it.
You can run any offence that you run in the pistol.
We did not run the read for the first two and a half years of -- the -- we ran the power game.
That that got gain the -- gain inside zone and outside its own game and and we're very good it.
They're -- was just another phase of it so.
Yeah RG three you know who we -- capitals guys you gotta get down you gotta get out of bounds RG three really great athlete -- is a I mean if they continue -- that he will get down he will understand that.
But you don't have to run quarterback every time the idea of the pistol offense is to give the ball to the back.
That's the guys paid to run.
The quarterback -- all option often that if in fact you have the read.
But you can -- the pistol and I that you can take any office that you've gotten NFL.
And -- -- formation.
And take advantages of the opportunities there.
I -- for example that would be -- -- -- running for 180 yards one week and then coming back in on the Russian the -- to -- one of which I think was scramble in the following -- can still running the same offense -- of recent the other question I had the reason I say they're related.
And the -- business a football questions.
It involves you personally through the hot commodity now everybody's talking he wants to know about this pistol offense -- he retired once before -- -- athletic director he went back to coaching.
Are you done with coaching or might you come back maybe in the professional ranks as a coordinator something like -- you have you heard from anybody are you considering any -- What -- let me say this one night when I did step down this time I'd been here for a total 37 years coast when he men and I did not use the word retires and I'm stepping down this time I wanna move -- Are there opportunities out there -- -- -- hopefully there might be.
If I'd you know somebody came and said they would like to talking about something I'd certainly be interested if I could provide something -- you know.
The pistol isn't just the only offense in the country -- but it is part of it -- and and I think it can help people so.
Sure there'd be an interest an -- -- an opportunity came this way.
And if I can put you on the spot has an NFL Coach short team as an NFL team are represented about the team contacted about anything like that.
No no not at this particular time they've contacted other.
People who talk to me but not a represented a -- NFL team at this particular time.
Art but it sounds like you -- -- -- does not the last we've heard of Chris salt and coaching I'm just making that assumption but maybe I'm -- -- -- -- -- and I enjoyed having a chat with you about and I've been fascinated -- watching this whole.
-- transpired obviously Robert Griffin.
Who we interviewed actually at the draft right afterwards and then the Colin -- -- emergence has been tremendous viewers college coaching came up with the whole thing so Chris all good luck and thank you very much for coming on.
Thank you -- glad to be would you.

I know that gnome shell is supposed to 'replace' many open programs by just one program, multiple tabs, but this often fails either by user interaction or just the phase of the moon.
Examples: gedit (phase of the moon), file-roller (unsupported), nautilus (supported, but only in some apis), etc.
All things considered i find myself in urgent need of a close all button, like right clicking on the 'joined' slot on the bottom panel used to do in gnome 2, however the overview in gnome 3 doesn't have anything like this.

Genetic discrimination
Part of a series on |
Discrimination |
General forms
Specific forms |
Other forms
Discrimination portal |
Genetic discrimination occurs when people are treated differently by their employer or insurance company because they have or are perceived to have a gene mutation that causes or increases the risk of an inherited disorder. People who undergo genetic testing may be at risk for genetic discrimination.
The results of a genetic test are normally included in a person's medical records.[where?] When a person applies for life, disability, or health insurance, in some countries the insurance company may ask to look at these records before making a decision about coverage. An employer may also have the right to look at an employee's medical records. As a result, genetic test results could affect a person's insurance coverage or employment. People making decisions about genetic testing should be aware that when test results are placed in their medical records, the results might not be kept private.
Fear of discrimination is a concern among people considering genetic testing. Several countries have laws that help protect people against genetic discrimination; however, genetic testing is a fast-growing field and these laws don't cover every situation.
Public concern against discrimination[edit]
The term genetic discrimination was first coined by the Council for Responsible Genetics (CRG).[1] In 1993, the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) Working Group of the Human Genome Project issued a report titled "Genetic Information and Health Insurance". The report recommended that people be eligible for health insurance no matter what is known about their past, present or future health status. Two years later, the ELSI Working Group and the National Action Plan on Breast Cancer (NAPBC) jointly developed guidelines to assist federal and state agencies in preventing genetic discrimination in health insurance.
Further, the ELSI Working Group and NAPBC recommended that health insurers be prohibited from using genetic information or an individual's request for genetic services to deny or limit health insurance coverage, establish differential rates or have access to an individual's genetic information without that individual's written authorization. Written authorization, the groups said, should be required for each separate disclosure and should specify the recipient of the disclosed information.
Next, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the United States Department of Energy, acting through the ELSI Working Group, cosponsored a series of workshops in the mid-1990s on genetic discrimination in health insurance and the workplace. The findings and recommendations of the workshop participants were published in Science: (Genetic Information and the Workplace: Legislative Approaches and Policy Challenges [sciencemag.org]) magazine, the monthly journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
In 1993, the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on Assessing Genetic Risks expressed concern that American workers were losing their jobs or their health insurance on the basis of information obtained through genetic testing.[2] By 1996, the Council for Responsible Genetics had identified over 200 cases of genetic discrimination.[2]
In 2008, the New York Times reported that some individuals avoid genetic testing out of fear it will impede their ability to purchase insurance or find a job. They also reported that evidence of actual discrimination was rare.[3]
Use of genetic information by health insurers[edit]
Health insurers do not currently require applicants for coverage to undergo genetic testing. Employer-sponsored group coverage is underwritten on a group basis, rather than an individual basis. Thus, the future use of genetic information in medical underwriting is a significant potential issue only for the individual health insurance market. However, the cost of covering diagnostic genetic tests and genetic treatments is likely to be an issue for all forms of health insurance. When insurers encounter genetic information, it is subject to the same confidentiality protections as any other sensitive health information.[4] Because of their long-term nature, genetic information is a potentially much more significant issue for individually purchased Disability insurance and Long term care insurance.[5]
Laws against discrimination[edit]
Those recommendations, and earlier ones issued by the ELSI Working Group and NAPBC led, in part, to new legislation and policies at both the federal and state levels. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 provided the first federal protections against genetic discrimination in health insurance. The act prohibited health insurers from excluding individuals from group coverage due to past or present medical problems, including genetic predisposition to certain diseases. It limited exclusions from group plans for preexisting conditions to 12 months and prohibited such exclusions for people who had been covered previously for that condition for 12 months or more. And the law specifically stated that genetic information in the absence of a current diagnosis of illness did not constitute a preexisting condition.
The next step in addressing the issue of genetic discrimination was taken by President Bill Clinton. The President had earlier supported proposed legislation that would have banned all health plans - group or individual - from denying coverage or raising premiums on the basis of genetic information. When the legislation failed to pass Congress, President Clinton issued an executive order ( Executive Order 13145 to Prohibit Discrimination in Federal Employment Based on Genetic Information) in February 2000 prohibiting agencies of the federal government from obtaining genetic information about their employees or job applicants and from using genetic information in hiring and promotion decisions.
There continues to be a high degree of interest in these topics in state legislatures. More than one hundred bills were introduced in state legislatures in 2000 alone. Some would inaugurate protection from genetic discrimination while others would modify or clarify existing legislation.
Legislation in the United States called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act prohibits group health plans and health insurers from denying coverage to a healthy individual or charging that person higher premiums based solely on a genetic predisposition to developing a disease in the future. The legislation also bars employers from using individuals' genetic information when making hiring, firing, job placement, or promotion decisions.[6] It was signed into law by President George W. Bush on May 21, 2008.[7][8] The law does not cover life insurance nor long-term care insurance, which has already created problems for some patients who have undergone genetic testing.[9]
Genetic Testing in the Workplace[edit]
Certain individuals have genes that make them more susceptible to developing a disease as a result of an occupational exposure. For example, workers with beryllium sensitivity and chronic beryllium disease are more likely to carry the gene HLA-DPB1 than workers without these conditions.[10] By offering optional genetic testing to workers, and allowing only the workers to see their own results, employers could protect genetically susceptible individuals from certain occupational diseases. A beryllium manufacturing company initiated a pilot program to test prospective workers for the HLA-DPB1 gene at a university-based laboratory. The company paid for the testing and counseling, but did not receive identifiable results.[10]
In 1991, the American Medical Association Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs suggested that the following five conditions must be satisfied in order for genetic screening by an employer to be appropriate:[10]
• The disease must develop so rapidly that monitoring would be ineffective in preventing it.
• The genetic test is highly accurate.
• The genetic variation results in an unusually elevated susceptibility to occupational illness.
• Undue expense is needed to protect susceptible workers by lowering the level of the toxic substance in the workplace.
• The worker must provide informed consent prior to being tested.
Several occupational health screening measures similar to genetic testing are already taking place. For example, in 1978, DuPont reported testing African American applicants for sickle cell trait and restricted these workers from exposure to nitro and amino compounds.[2] However, research indicates that workers or applicants would not take advantage of genetic testing due to fear of discrimination. A 1995 poll of the general public found that over 85% are concerned about access to use of genetic information by insurers and employers.[11] Likewise, in the case of the beryllium manufacturer described above, so few workers participated in the genetic testing that the company decided instead to pursue an "enhanced preventive model of workplace controls" [10]:.

20-something communicators: 10 tips to prove your worth
As promised, I'm posting a re-cap of Caryn Alagno's jam-packed presentation from the Corporate Communicators Conference I attended earlier this month. I had the pleasure of listening and meeting Caryn, a 28-year old master communicator, who is VP of Edelman Public Relations in Washington D.C. Caryn was kind enough to share her notes and presentation with me. As I mentioned to Caryn after her presentation, it's so important for these tips to be communicated to all young professionals. That's why I'm bringing this to all of you. Here's Caryn's top ten list to prove your worth:
#10 Do your homework
This seems obvious, right? But Caryn says, "when you're the youngest person in the room, you don't have the luxury of being unprepared or under prepared for a meeting." So true. After all, if you can't be trusted with the small things; how can you be trusted with anything larger? Do your homework and be prepared.
#9 Use technology to your advantage
We young "bucks" are more familiar with technology, so we're more apt to use it to our advantage in a business setting. It's more than Facebook, Twitter and those other user-generated sites; it's about recognizing the opportunity to use that knowledge in a business setting. For example, the corporate world is starting to wean its way into social media. You're familiar—get in there and tell the upper hand's in your office what it's all about. Chances are they'll look at you as an expert. That's your opportunity to shine!
But not too boastful folks. There's a danger in being technically-savvy and boasting about it. Caryn mentioned a 25-year-old whiz kid who got a little too comfortable in her role as the office "tech guru" and began poking fun¾in a nice way¾at her older colleagues. She got a little too carried away and was told to tone it down.
#8 Everyone's in your network
I'm a HUGE advocate for this tip and I base all my business off of this concept. It's not what you know people, it's who know you. Who you know and who can get you access to the information you need is key as well. Take advantage of people who know a lot about what you know NOTHING about. Show your boss and upper level management that you're connected; it shows that you're aware that you don't and can't know everything…. But you can get the answer for them. Remember: networking happens all the time; especially when you're looking for the right opportunities.
#7 Bell well-read
Remember this always: It IS part of your job to read the papers every day¾and not just articles that mention your company or your industry. I tend to do this a lot (I'm working on it.) Caryn suggests reading opinion pieces, editorials, books and blogs. When you're young, people think you're arrogant and they think you're uninformed. Caryn says to not feed into that stereotype.
#6 Have an opinion
Caryn gave a great example: When your CEO (or anyone in upper management) asks you what you think about Chrysler filing for Chapter 11, what will you say? If all you can say is, "Yeah, that really stinks," you've missed an opportunity to demonstrate that you are an asset to your company. Caryn reiterated that in our communications roles, we are hired to think. We are not worker bees; we are thinkers. Anyone can pump out a press release or a speech, but it's what makes it good is the thinking behind what we're saying; how we're using those tools and when we draw upon them. This idea of having opinions—of doing really solid thinking—this is what gets us to the next level in our careers. Worker bees are a dime a dozen; thinkers are leaders. And leaders are rare.
#5 Say "I don't know"
If you think you do, you're feeding into that notion of young arrogance. You can look extremely smart by saying, "I don't know…" By saying, "I don't know," from time to time, people will know that when you do speak up, it's grounded in something. And don't forget: You can say "I don't know" without the conversation ending there—say, "I don't know, but I'll get back to you." If you don't know something ask questions. Ask good questions that show you're thinking. And listen to the answers. When starting a new project, asking questions will also help you slow down the process and think about what you're being asked to do and why.
#4 See the opportunity
"Sometimes being low on the totem pole stinks. But only if you let yourself think about your position in that way," Caryn says with a smile. To bring this home in the session, Caryn referenced to an example that really connected with me and is one of the big reasons why I've moved up in my company. Caryn remembered a time when an intern worked all the way to the top by seeing the opportunity. Consider this:
An advertising agency gets a lead on a big account. They ask an intern to sit in on several brainstorming sessions and to take notes. She'd get them coffee when they needed it; she'd run out and get lunch when they couldn't be interrupted. She'd compile the memos, the briefing documents, etc. When the team finally won the account, she—all of the sudden—became the most knowledgeable staffer on the account. She was immediately hired on full time; and she helped get other team members up to speed on the strategy and the thinking behind it. She saw the opportunity folks. She did the grunt work and she realized the potential payoff in the end. Remember to REALLY see the opportunity.
#3 Avoid being negative
Leadership is the ability to keep your head when everyone around you is losing theirs. And it's true in a corporate world as well. If you can stay positive even when people around you aren't—you will set yourself apart. Caryn said, "worker bees are a dime a dozen, but leaders are what make companies successful." Remember that young people! Also know that people, at work and in life, will build teams/friendships with people who are enjoyable to be around. Caryn mentioned over and over again to not lose sight of the optimism and fresh perspective us young people bring to an organization. Be positive; concentrate on the task at hand; say thank you; and stay positive despite the fact that you might actually have a bad boss or two during your career.
#2 Make mistakes … recover
It is what it is. If you make a mistake, LEARN from it.
#1 Remember the good days
Sometimes when we really need to recover, one of the best ways of doing it is reminding ourselves why we're in the positions we're in. Caryn keeps a file of complimentary, good-job emails. GREAT IDEA. I started one as soon as I got back. She keeps a running list of big projects, clients or executives she's worked with to remind herself that she is capable of doing good work. It can also come in handy at raise and review time!
Caryn's presentation really emphasized the struggles of being the "young" person in the room. But it also emphasized the empowerment of being young actually has over the rest of the workforce. I loved her last (and to me) her most important tip: Just do it! Caryn says that when you take a risk; you seek out a new opportunity or experience; or otherwise let yourself be challenged outside your comfort zone¾GREAT ADVICE!
I've had friends and colleagues who have moved to other states; even across the world for job assignments. And Caryn agrees when I say, almost no one regrets it. When I came home from Spain I came back feeling exhilarated and full of insight on life and the way I wanted my professional career to go.
She closed with this statement, "Now is the time for you to take risks in your career; to take advantage of every opportunity before you." I take this advice to heart because when I look back on my life, I don't want to regret the things I haven't done more than the things I have done.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding Beyonce lip-synching of the National Anthem at the Inauguration. Well, Beyoncé had a Super Bowl halftime show press conference yesterday… and she stepped up to the podium with a mic in her hand and politely asked the crowd: "Would you guys mind standing?" And then she belted out the national anthem – completely live. After she finished, she asked, "Any questions?" Of course, one reporter asked asked about the lip-synching, and Beyonce said that she is a perfectionist and did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra. Due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check, she didn't feel comfortable taking the risk, so she sang along with a prerecorded track. But, she guarantees, Sunday's halftime performance will be 100% live.

John Mayer has finally opened up about his relationship with Katy Perry for the first time in a new interview with Rolling Stone. He was asked how the relationship has been going, and John said: "It's been… I mean, I'm quite happy." And he doesn't rule out getting married one day. He says he wants to live a very traditional life with a very untraditional day job.
Justin Bieber really needs to stop loaning his car out ... because it was involved in another run-in with cops early this morning. TMZ says Justin wasn't driving, but the guy behind the wheel (named Lil Za) was pulled over in West Hollywood around 1:30 this morning for tinted windows. He didn't have a license, so cops put him in the back of the squad car. But, they gave him a break, and he was cited and released. What's crazy is that, a month ago to the day, another one of Justin's friends, "Lil Twist", borrowed the same car and was pulled over by cops and a photographer was killed by another car while shooting the traffic stop.

In response to Mr. DeWitt's recent letter to the editor regarding the Taylor County Board of Education, I would like to set the record straight by answering the questions asked in his letter.
First, I have served for the past 20 years on the Taylor County Board of Education and have had the pleasure to work with two excellent superintendents. Both men deserved the money they earned.
Since your comments centered on our current superintendent, I will focus on him.
As some already know, there's a highly addictive illicit drug, heroin, in our community. If this brings to mind scenes from some large city, think again.
Ask our local officials, law enforcement or your health care provider and they will confirm there has been a dramatic increase in the use of this dangerous drug.
Why the increase in heroin you might ask? Of course, there's never a simple answer to a drug problem, but there's two possible thoughts on this.
We, as a Sunday school class at Green River Memorial Baptist Church, would like to commend councilman Stan McKinney for taking a stand against the sale of alcohol on Sundays or anything that promotes or encourages the use of alcohol.
We hope our other county and city leaders will follow his choice.
Thank you, Stan McKinney! We need more Christian leaders like you. Grace Wilson Pat Marcum Norma Jean Rogers Betty Stearman Campbellsville
Can the taxpayers of Taylor County afford to give Roger Cook a $40,000 increase in his salary? No superintendent in the Taylor County school system has ever come close to $160,000 per year salary.
Mr. Davis, the board chairman, said it was not an increase of $40,000, but any way you add it up, the difference between $160,000 and $120,000 is $40,000, according to my Taylor County school education. I think if Mr. Cook were to ask Mr. Davis to jump over Niagara Falls in a barrel, he would run for the Canadian border.

If you drive south on KY 55 toward Columbia, you should look over to the right near the UPS and Clarcor facilities.
You can see lots of progress on the construction of the new 1-million-gallon water storage tank.
There has been a vast amount of concrete and steel put into place already. The foundation is totally complete and the support structure is about 50 percent complete.
Stepping in the front door, I am reminded of a bookstore.
Bookstores are one of my favorite places on Earth because the possibilities there are endless.
In this building, there isn't much for sale, but the resemblance to a bookstore is obvious.
There are corners to read quietly, magazines to peruse, coffee to sip and the smell of new books in the air.
It's peaceful, shiny and bright.
Some predicted the meeting between newly elected Pope Francis I and his predecessor, Benedict XVI, would be awkward. After all, the Roman Catholic Church hasn't had a pope resign in 600 years. What would the two men say to each other?
Would Benedict tell Pope Francis what he should and shouldn't be doing? Would the former pope be looking over the new pope's shoulder? And would the new pope feel threatened, even resentful?
Would people find themselves torn between two popes?
Everyone was smiling. In every photo from the event, you can see someone grinning from ear to ear.
And participants ran and walked in the event to bring smiles to other people's faces.
On Saturday, Donna Wise, Will Patton, Katie Irwin and Jenny Jessie hosted the first Color to Conquer 5K Walk and Run, with money raised going toward the annual St. Baldrick's fundraiser to support children's cancer research. Runners paid entry fees and donations were accepted.
