Tulane defensive backs Alex Wacha, Charles Harris and Chinonso Echebelem tackle BYU wide receiver O'Neill Chambers during the first half.
Sept. 12, 2009
Final Stats | Quotes | Notes
NEW ORLEANS - It started out a close game and ended a rout as the Tulane University football team dropped a 54-3 decision to No. 9 BYU Saturday afternoon in the Louisiana Superdome.
BYU held a slight 6-3 lead following a 29-yard field goal by Tulane's Ross Thevenot with 6:03 left in the first half. From there, however, it was all Cougars as BYU got a pair of touchdowns later in the period and scored on four if its first five possessions in the second half. With the loss, the Green Wave fall to 0-2 on the year. BYU, meanwhile, improves to 2-0.
"We played a really good football team today," Tulane head coach Bob Toledo said. "They deserve their ranking. They're an experienced team, they're a very mature team and they know how to win - they've been winning for a long time. They got some real good players and they did a great job of coaching. I think we made them look a little better than what they really are to be perfectly honest with you.
"You can't make that many mistakes against that type of team and even make it competitive. We had sacks early in the game that took us out of drives. We had numerous penalties that took us out of drives - penatlites killed us today, I thought. And then of course we had the interceptions and the fumbles - so we turned the ball over. Defensively, we missed some tackles and we gave up some big, big pass plays."
BYU quarterback Max Hall completed 24-of-31 passes for 309 yards and two touchdowns. J.J. DiLuigi ran for 71 yards and two scores on 12 carries, while Bryan Kariya was close behind with 63 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. Dennis Pitta and O'Neill Chambers hauled in four passes each for 47 and 38 yards, respectively.
Tulane quarterback Joe Kemp, one of four passers used by the Green Wave on the day, led the team with 101 yards on 14-of-19 passing. Senior wideout Jeremy Williams and freshman receiver Ryan Grant each hauled in five passes apiece, and senior running back André Anderson led the Tulane ground effort with 36 yards on 12 carries.
BYU got on the board first as Mitch Payne capped a 10-play, 45-yard drive with a 31-yard field goal less than nine minutes into the ballgame and put the Cougars on top 6-0 with a 20-yarder 45 seconds into the second quarter. After getting just a pair of first downs on their first two possessions, the Green Wave offense got things going in the second stanza and drove from their own 32 down to the Cougar 12. BYU's defense kept Tulane out of the endzone and Thevenot's field goal made it a 6-3 ballgame.
From there, the Cougar offense turned things up a notch, driving 67 yards in just 2:35 capped by a one-yard touchdown jaunt by Brian Kariya and turned a Tulane interception into another score as Hall connected with Kariya for 12 yards with 25 seconds to play in the first half to go into the locker room on top, 20-3.
Tulane senior defensive back Chinonso Echebelem picked off Hall on BYU's first possession of the second half, but that was perhaps the Green Wave's lone highlight the rest of the way.
DiLuigi scored his first touchdown of the day on a three-yard run to cap a 13-play, 89-yard drive with 6:24 left to play in the third quarter, and Hall found McKay Jacobson deep for a 38-yard touchdown strike just over three minutes later to stretch the Cougar lead to 34-3. DiLuigi found paydirt again 1:53 into the fourth quarter
The Cougar defense, meanwhile, forced a pair of fumbles, including one returned by Jordan Pendleton for a 12-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter. The defense got into the scoring mix on the ensuing possession when Terrance Hooks forced a fumble, which was picked up by Jordan Pendleton and returned 12 yards for a score. Backup quarterback Riley Nelson closed out the scoring with a one-yard keeper with 2:00 remaining in the ballgame to account for the final score.
Echebelem paced the Tulane defense with nine tackles, including six solo stops, while junior defensive back Alex Wacha was next with eight. True freshman defensive lineman Shane Delery posted the team's only tackle for loss, and both Wacha and redshirt-freshman Alex Lauricella tallied a pass break-up.
Shawn Doman, Matt Bouman and Scott Johnson tied for the BYU tackle lead with five each. Grant Nelson posted a pair of sacks on the day while Brian Logan and Craig Bills each had interceptions.
The Green Wave return to action on Saturday, Sept. 26, when they play host to McNeese State at 2:30 p.m. in the Louisiana Superdome.

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Officials say a bad flu season and other factors are to blame for a drop in blood donations that has left supplies at dangerously low levels.
Nicole Hanger, of LifeServe Blood Center, says donations started to drop about four weeks ago when a big winter storm hit. Then more people came down with the flu and donations remained low.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports (http://bit.ly/WXEfMr ) that the blood center likes to have a three- to five-day supply, but that's now down to a one- or two-day supply.
LifeServe provides blood to hospitals in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.
The center is calling donors and sending out emails to spur donations.

This model is powered via a custom 115v lead and unfortunately it didn't come with the scope. It looks as though this is a custom power socket (see picture) and it is no longer produced by Meade. There is no 12v input for this scope, so if we can't get hold of one of the leads we can't use it. In fact, we can't even test it to see if the drive works.
1 - Has anyone got a power lead for one of these scopes that we could have/buy/borrow?
2 –Does anyone know the wiring sequence for one of these plugs?

Millions of mobile phones, laptops, tablets, televisions, refrigerators and other electronic equipment are sold in India every yearthousands among them are shipped back to the manufacturers because they are defective and get damaged in their journey from the factory to the retail stores. A good number of products purchased online are also returned by the customer incase there is a functional defect, missing accessory etc. Outdated products too make up a major chunk of the reverse journey.
Ever wondered what happens to such unused inventory? No prizes for guessing, but a large volume of the discarded yet unused items, especially the big ones, end up at scrap dealers shops and are dismantled mercilessly. Only those parts that are somewhat useful are segregated from the rest of the electronic junk and recycled; the e-waste awaits an acidic death in a nearby landfill!
Hitendra Chaturvedi, a smart
entrepreneur is trying to help the planet in his own way by ensuring that the hazardous toxin spewing e-waste and non-recyclable plastic stays out of the landfills. His five-year old venture, located in a south Delhi colony abutting the Delhi-Gurgaon metro line, deals in refurbished products and has made a successful business out of it. GreenDust, as his start-up is called, collects all customer-returned and factory seconds products, and restores them to like-new condition. If theres a functional defect, it is rectified. The refurbished product lineup comprises of mobile phones, laptops, desktops, cameras, home & kitchen appliances, healthcare and even gaming devices. These are then sold to the customer via company stores as well as its website www.greendust.com.
Every refurbished factory seconds product is restored to its exact original factory specification. Only our price is almost halved, says the GreenDust founder & CEO. We adopt orphans, make them healthy and find them a home. It is a sustainable business model that is green and profitable. Just to give you a sample on whats on offer, a refurbished LG home theatre system is available at R11,915 compared to its market price of R16,990, a Philips toaster will carry a retail tag of R4,875 compared to its original price of R8,495, a Whirlpool washing machine will sell for R21,340 instead of its market price of R28,000, and so on and so on.
I have tried to keep my business model simple, says Chaturvedi. Take the rejected and returned products from the retailer as well as end-customer, refurbish them, provide a years

i dont do heavy work for real, i just do home works and i do it as always.
stress? well i have anxiety, thats what the doctor diagnose , for real i just fell anxious when i feel those pains because i get too nervous thinking that it can be heart related
Dr. Shah
replied 3 years ago.
Thank you for the information.
Based on your description, it does not sound like a heart related problem. Moreover, all your physical examination, blood test, and EKG was normal a month ago. Additionally, your pattern of pain is not typical for heart related issues. In my personal opinion, it could be nerve pain, musculoskeletal pain, or anxiety. These are all benign conditions and can be managed effectively. If you still want to go further, then you can ask for stress test, these will rule out any heart problem not detected in EKG.
Please let me know if you have any other question for me.
Ask Your Own Health Question

doctor, how can i know the difference from a heart related pain and those nerve, musculoskeletal or anxiety? maybe knowing that i will not worry anymore and maybe that way i can avoid those panic episodes i have because of those pains
Dr. Shah
replied 3 years ago.
In heart related pain, patient experience additional symptoms such as sweating, severe chest pain/ chest pressure, nausea, breathing difficulties, dizziness, jaw/shoulder pain etc.
In other types of pain you may not see all these symptoms. In nerve related pain you will feel it as a shooting/radiating pain going down from your neck/shoulder. In musculoskeletal pain, pain is localized to a specif area. In anxiety, there may not be any pattern of pain,,, it can be anywhere.
Based on your description, heart problem is very unlikely. Moreover, you have been evaluated for it so it is a kind of reassuring.

On a long fatiguing tour through the Corsican mountains, we decided to take some rest at a place where a single olive tree, surrounded by a wooden bench, gave it's shadow. There were some tourists feeding a gang of half wild Corsican pigs with left over oranges... these sometimes rose, sometimes black - or rose with black hairy spots - Corsican pigs, who live in the woods during day and come back in the evening for chestnut dinner.
Surely for the first time they had oranges as an extra meal: the pigs had a good appetite. But it was not enough for all of them and they looked a sort of disappointed when the last orange was devoured. In that moment the smartest of them noticed (I noticed it some seconds later), that I wore orange-colored bicycle shoes and in an instant the whole gang rushed at me.
I seeked safety in flight and tried to hide behind the olive tree but the pigs followed me up inexorably. So I ran around the tree with a train of savage pigs behind me. I felt, I could escape, because I gained a small distance between me and the first formidable pig, until I was forced to recognice, that I reached the last (younger and slower) pig at the end of the running gang: I was encircled! My wife began to make noises like "kzzss, kzzss" to chase off the brutes, but they were too interested in my shoes (didn't smell like oranges). In my highest terror I began to bark like a dog. Corsican dogs don't bark, because it's too hot, but if they bark - exceptionally - it indicates great danger...
The pigs were confused for some seconds, and this was my chance: I hurried to reach my bicycle, jumped on it like the professionals do after a flat tire and slipped off uphill. It was by far the best mountain time trial I ever passed (but I was still out of breath, when my wife finally had closed the gap)
p.s.: what do you think, Will?

The 5 Keys To Connecting Mindfulness To Character Education
The social maturity and emotional development of our youth have never had greater challenges than now. Recent research in Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, and Educational Psychology are leading us to discoveries that are changing the face of education. Well-being and positive psychology are no longer being seen as fluff, frivolous, or pointless. Mindfulness is now recognized as an essential pathway to the character education values we are trying to develop in children. Virtues such as patience, gratefulness, compassion, empathy and positive self-worth are all attainable through character education curriculum that includes positive emotional skill building techniques.
In today's high stress world, what can we do to build happiness and resilience in ourselves and the children we work with? How do we maintain positive self-worth when we are pushed to the limit? Professor, bestselling author, counseling psychologist, husband, father, and reformed class clown, Dr. Bird, is a nationally recognized speaker on issues of character development and positive psychology. In this keynote, he will examine The 5 Keys to Connecting Mindfulness to Character Education. He has spoken to over 100,000 people nationwide. Dr. Bird uses humor, stories, insights and compassion to share his message. He is the author of "The Jerk Whisperer" and "How To Build A Child's Character- By Tapping Into Your Own" and a new children's book titled "The Bird and the Bear." He speaks to audiences on how to find positive well-being even when surrounded by adversity and difficult times. Dr. Stephen "Bird" Birchak has become one of the nation's foremost experts in human relations in the workplace, home, and in educational settings. Executives, Fortune 500 companies, corporate leaders, practitioners, educators, and parents have used his principles involving human character.

I am never quite sure how I got there and it is often hard to repair. I run the check - for naked edges and when the pink areas come up. I try join edge but it appears as though there is only one naked edge and nothing to join it too. I also try to repair it by meshing the model and then doing doing match mesh edges or fill mesh holes but again this has not worked. It is also hard for me to often understand how I got the naked edges because generally the naked edges appear on an area that was built similiarily to another but they only show up in one place. I am wondering if any Rhino users out there could take a look at my model and give me some feedback on what is going on with the pink/naked edges - (1) how they got there (2) how to fix them. If you respond here, I can send the model to you. Thank you for your help in advance!]]> MODbot 2013-01-02T21:24:36-00:00

Passersby at the Van Alstyne Community Center last week may have noticed an odd sight in the parking lot: men in yellow humped plastic suits plugging holes in 55-gallon drums and standing in kiddy pools.
Odd as it may have seemed, the 11 Van Alstyne firefighters donning those suits and standing in those plastic pools may one do use what they learned in that parking lot to save your life.
Members of the VAFD participated in hazardous material training from June 14-27, donning those plastic hazmat suits with self contained breathing apparatus strapped to their backs in the summer heat to earn their hazmat certifications. The 80-hour course taught firefighters on containment techniques in case of a hazmat emergency so that they could, as VAFD Chief Landon Smith put it, "take offensive actions for our department and our city." Firefighters learned how to contain hazmat spills, respond to those emergency situations and practiced decontamination methods.
Hazmat emergencies can be anything from an overturned tanker on the highway, an upended rail car carrying toxic materials or even a poisonous combination of household items that prove to be toxic to inhale. The amount of toxic chemicals all around us is dizzying and relatively unrealized throughout the general population. The explosions in West, Texas, however, were a prime example of an extreme hazmat situation. And here's the really scary part: there is currently not a hazmat team in all of Grayson County certified to handle just such an emergency.
"I think it would be a great asset to Van Alstyne," said Smith. ""It's something for our community, especially where we are and with Hwy. 75 becoming more [accessible]."
To that end, Smith applied with the Texas Department of Public Safety more than a year ago to get the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) training held in Van Alstyne. Though he already has two firefighters who are hazmat certified it takes a minimum of five personnel to be considered a hazmat "team." Following the nearly two-week course, those participating in the course took their certification testing on Tuesday morning. Smith said it should take a couple of weeks to get the results from the testing back. Those in training had already passed their skills testing.
If VAFD has enough certified firefighters for a team it will be the only one in the area. Even Collin County, as big and wealthy as it is, has just one team, that being in Plano. It would be an obvious boost for the city to have its own hazmat team but a big boost to have one in Grayson County, as well. In those hazmat situations, non-certified firefighters are often required to stand down and wait for a hazmat team to arrive on scene, if there is even one close enough to respond.
While certification is the first step in the process the second is to get the equipment. The department currently does not have hazmat suits, for instance, nor does it have the proper gas detection equipment, though that is spec'd out on the new fire engine the department is getting.
With the advanced hazmat training VAFD personnel received the future of Van Alstyne looks a bit safer.

On October 10, Rahul Gandhi gave a political speech in Punjab. He made several political points. The Indian Express, in one story covering the speech, listed 10 of these points. The last of these quoted Gandhi (perhaps a translation) as saying, Punjab gives food to India the country cannot stand without it. He related Punjabs role in feeding the public distribution system (PDS) to the feasibility of the Right to Food effort of the ruling coalition.
This is the paradox of Punjab. The Green Revolution helped Punjab become more prosperous, by supplying grain to the rest of India. This role was consonant with the goals of national policy. This role is being pushed further by national policies such as the Right to Food Act. Punjabs economy is locked in to this role. But Punjabs agricultural economy, based on supplying food grain for the PDS, is heading for disaster. Punjabs economic welfare is not aligned with how the national goal of the right to food is being implemented.
As it happens, I was also speaking in Punjab on the same day as Rahul Gandhi. It was only an academic lecture at Punjabi University, Patiala. But I emphasised that Punjab is heading for disaster. The political and economic equilibrium is leading to an unsustainable depletion of groundwater, and the groundwater table will collapse in a decade, or soon after. Politicians and middlemen are contributing to the distorted use of water and the lock-in of Punjab farmers into a situation that will sacrifice their livelihoods and wellbeing. Praising them for their current role is cynical and counter-productive. A solution is needed to stave off collapse.
In his speech, Gandhi criticised corruption and bemoaned the lack of jobs in Punjab, which contributes to societal problems such as drug addiction. In my talk, I also said that, for Punjab to avoid economic collapse, it needs a more honest and effective government. But this is a no-brainer. What else can one say about a concrete way forward? Here I offered only two suggestions, which must work together.
Given Punjabs social and economic structures, its size and geographic position, it is not a great candidate for large-scale labour intensive manufacturing. Instead, it has some chance of succeeding as a place for flexible mass-customised production. An analogy might be to northern Italy, which thrived in this role for decades, but is now suffering from lack of cost competitiveness. Another might be

Nolin Lake State Park is reasonably 30-40 miles north east of Bowling Green, Kentucky. Somewhere in the woods of that park is a young man wearing camouflage possibly in a certain shade of green. You can't see him, I can't see him, and most importantly, the deers can't see him... and that's just the way that young man likes it.
I can't think of a more fitting name for a man who loves to hunt, fish, and go boating, other than; Hunter Green.
Hunter Green is a high-end pitching prospect for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I had to catch him right after deer hunting where his father Greg, sister Lindsey, and himself all got their bucks to bring back to his mother Judy, who loves to do some cooking back at the cabin. I also had to get him right before duck hunting season started up. He's a very busy young man who loves the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and of course, baseball, which he's very good at.
Green was taken in the second round (59th overall) of the 2013 June Draft out of Warren East High School in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Green was committed to the University of Kentucky, but instead signed with the Angels, and is guaranteed an invitation to Spring Training in 2014. At Warren East, Green maintained a 0.14 earned-run-average while striking out 110 over 51.0 innings pitched, having 20 of those strikeouts coming in a no-hitter. Green won the 2013 Mr. Kentucky Baseball Award (best high school baseball player in Kentucky), joining 2013 Angels, Scott Downs (1994), Joe Blanton (1999), and Collin Cowgill (2004). This past professional season with the Arizona League Angels, Green had a 4.32 earned-run-average over eight games with opposing players at the plate hit .254 against him. What I found most impressive was how well he shut down left-handed batters, as they hit just .111 against Hunter.
Green's fastball sits anywhere from 87-93 depending on his delivery and arm slot (which he brings up in the interview) and has good sinking movement to it. He has developed a good off-speed pitch in a curve. The southpaw's deadliest pitch is probably his changeup which easily could have been the best from high-schoolers out of the 2013 draft.
When Hunter answered the phone when I called him, I thought I'd mistaken him for his father when I heard a deep southern accent and had a short conversation with the young professional. I can't say enough about Hunter's attitude towards the game, the humility he shows, and the love he has for his family.
Hopefully you can come away with a good idea of the outstanding character Mr. Green shows in the interview I did with him. Without any more delay, here you go, enjoy the read.
Scout : First off, tell me about your first season in professional baseball:
Green : It was an awesome experience! I mean, I get to go out there and do what I love every single day and that was a changing for me. I wasn't used to getting to do baseball as a job and doing it 24/7, and getting to do that is a dream come true. Getting down there (Tempe, Arizona), it's a lot harder competition and I always love a good competition, so that was a good thing about it. Starting out at first, it was hard on me. Just a young high school kid coming in at 17-years-old and I got there being far away from home and missing my family, but you know, I had to overcome the obstacles and just had to worry about chasing my dream. Getting through that and after that, I had a blast. I got to meet a lot of new people, got to learn a lot of new things so, I had a great time.
Scout : What was your draft experience like, and how special was it?
Green : I was actually at my house. It was me, my mom, my dad, and my sister. We were sitting out back watching it and the first rounds already gone through, and we were starting to get worried. You know, is something wrong? Finally, my scouting director (Ric Wilson) gives me a call and said, "we'd like to take you as our first pick, 59th overall, what do you think?" and I was like, "yeah of course I'll go!" and so we were sitting there anxious and finally David Eckstein gets up to do the pick for the Angels and as he called my name we just all started going crazy. My phone started ringing off the hook. My phone was blowing up so much that it just shutdown. A lot of people came in to my house, coaches, family, everybody showed up, so that was a great night. I'll never forget that.
Scout : What have coaches worked on the most with you?
Green : The biggest thing they've been working on with me is delivery. I've had some problems with leaking my front side and dragging, so they're just giving me a lot of drills and trying a new delivery with me just to help me stay back over the rubber so i can keep my velocity up. Sometimes I mess up in my delivery and my arm slot gets lower and I start losing feel for all my pitches. Also, just working on secondary stuff.
Scout : How have your off-speed pitches developed?
Green : Off-speed has gotten ten times better. I mean, before I got drafted I had a good feel for it and I knew what to do to make it move, but I had no control of it and I couldn't put it where I wanted in certain situations. But, once I got drafted and got down there they taught me a new grip for my changeup and they just pounded that in my head and made me work on it all the time. I'd play long toss with it and throw flat ground with it. Breaking ball, they've done the same thing with me and taught me drills for it and it has gotten a million times better. I can control it, I can put it where I want to in certain counts. I can make it for first pitch strike, I can do it on an 0-2 count. So it's gotten ten times better.
Scout : What are your plans for the offseason, other than hunting?
Green : Besides hunting, I'm just in the gym all the time and keeping my body in shape. I'm trying to put weight on, that's the biggest thing for me. They want me to gain another ten pounds. I gained fifteen while i was down there, and just putting weight on and getting more strength on is the biggest thing for me. I have to just keep grinding the entire offseason and not stop. Hopefully, I can make it to Burlington (Low-A) after Spring Training.
Scout : What are your goals for the 2014 season?
Green : After Spring Training, I'd love to break off and go to Burlington and play. I'd like to be a lot more consistent in the strike zone and bring my walks down, because I had a really hard time with that this year in my first season. I had a lot of walks, so I would like to be more consistent in the strike zone and be more dominant mostly.
I have to thank Hunter for taking time out of his busy schedule to do this interview with me. He is a great pitcher, and from what I've gotten to know over a short time, an even better person. Also, I'd like to thank the entire Green family for their time as well (Thanks Judy, Greg, and Lindsey!). It will be exciting to watch Hunter pitch over the next few seasons, and hopefully soon, at Angel Stadium in an Angels jersey.

I'm starting to learn some javascript and understand that dashes are not permitted when naming identifiers. However, in CSS it's common to use a dash for IDs and classes.
Does using a dash in CSS interfere with javascript interaction somehow? For instance if I were to use getElementByID("css-dash-name"). I've tried a few examples using getElementByID with dashes as a name for a div ID and it worked, but I'm not sure if that's the case in all other context.

Although the Ghost character the anchors 50 Cent's new television show Power has a drug-dealing past, 50 Cent says that the program is not a small-screen version of Scarface.
"People look at Tony Montana, and they think, oh, everybody wants all the stuff he has," 50 Cent says during an interview with Rolling Stone. "No, there's an obsession with Scarface because it's about a guy who came up from the bottom and he made it. He came here and he conquered. That's the American dream. That's what Ghost is after. That's what everybody is after."
The show, which is set to premier on the Starz network Saturday (June 7), was a good fit for television.
"Hollywood is like fashion: It recycles itself," 50 Cent says. "No one has remade The Godfather, or King of New York, or New Jack City, because they don't think they'd be hits now. But on TV, you can do something like The Wire or The Sopranos, and they're hits. People figured out that TV is where this stuff is happening. Movie stars stopped looking down on TV. So that's what we're doing. We're helping to fill that hole."
50 Cent also says that he had high standards for Power.
"We wanted this to look legit. It's for damn sure this ain't I Got The Hook-Up. Nothing against Master P or anything, but you know… [Laughs]."

Thad Vogler of Bar Agricole Speaks
By Sara Deseran on August 11, 2010 4:17 PM
A modern, undulating ride of LEED-certified design, Bar Agricole might be the most stunning tavern to ever touch down in San Francisco. The fact that the high-concept, farmcentric tavern is located on one of the most scrappy blocks of the city makes it all the more fascinating. We talked to Thad Vogler, the mad genius behind it all. Just don't call him a mixologist.

Is there a way (GPO preferred) to disable the "Take a tour of Windows XP" balloon/popup when a new user logs in for the first time?
The registry key's value is REG_DWORD type, setting it to "0" will disable the pop-up.
You can set this value in GPO using a logon script or, preferably, Client-Side Preferences. A logon script would look something like:
Edit: Here's an ADM that should perform the same function, if you're into that kinda thing.
Per @natxo's comment below, the above will disable the pop-up on a per-user basis. You can use this to target specific user groups/OUs if you want. Should you wish to disable the pop-up on a per-computer (all users) basis, change "HKCU" to "HKLM" in the script or change "USER" to "MACHINE" in the ADM. This is detailed in the Microsoft Support link above.

What Works A Tale of Two Motivators
But dig deeper, and oh, what a difference you'll find. Weinbach is CEO of U-inspire, Inc., a one-stop source for motivational workplace products and services. Sewell and twin brother Jef co-lead Despair, Inc., which sells parody posters, plaques, mugs, and more. The two companies are on the Web at uinspire.com and despair.com.
One of the many items sold by U-inspire is a poster titled "Vision." It shows a majestic lighthouse guiding the way through a foggy night. The caption reads, "Vision is not seeing things as they are, but as they will be."
Compare this to one of Despair's posters. Called "Apathy," it's emblazoned with a cobweb-covered phone and the caption "If we don't take care of the customer, maybe they'll stop bugging us." You can order the 24-by-30 Apathy lithographic print (with or without ebony frame); the Apathy note cards (12 with envelopes); and the 5-by-7 Apathy desk frame (black-brushed aluminum). Of course, if you're so enamored of apathy, you might not care enough to place an order.
How did these two arrive at their world views? Consider Weinbach's story. Early in his high school days, he was a pretty good wrestler who wanted to win more matches. Nothing seemed to help -- until a coach gave him a quote book with these words on the cover:
In the battle of life it is not the critic who counts. . . . The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena. . . . Who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Something about this quotation from Theodore Roosevelt went straight to Weinbach's head and heart. He explains: "I had this watershed realization that the biggest thing holding me back was the fear that if I tried to do better, I might not do as well as I hoped."
Wanting to be anything but a "timid soul," Weinbach turned into his own Rocky Balboa. He started waking up earlier to work out. He practiced after regular practice hours. And people in Milburn, New Jersey, got used to seeing him jogging their streets. Before long, the high-schooler was winning tournaments and heading for the state championship.
Ever since, through his two years at Harvard Business School and beyond, Weinbach has been keeping Roosevelt's wisdom nearby. "It has hung in my college dorm room, and now in my home and my office. As far as I'm concerned, this quote contains the meaning of life. Do it and do your best. You may fail, but you will not be a failure."
Justin Sewell took a different path. At age 19, he left the University of Texas at Austin and went to work as a contract graphic designer and multi-media author. Then in 1994, he became one of five employees at a start-up Internet service provider. Things were pretty informal at the company, so a spoken promise of stock options seemed good enough for the trusting 23-year-old.
When the company started growing, Sewell asked to have the promise put in writing. Nothing happened, he says. He asked again. Again, nothing. Several other people, including his brother, had received the same promise -- and all of them grew deeply discouraged when their equity expectations vaporized before their eyes.
Then an opportunity fell into Sewell's hands -- in the form of a catalog from a motivational-products company. He took it to his brother, Jef, and coworker Larry Kersten. They flipped through the pages and had a few painful laughs.
"We started talking about success, teamwork, excellence, customer service," Sewell recalls. "We began to joke that there weren't any products in this catalog that addressed companies like the one we worked for or situations that we were in. Someone said, 'There's no failure poster -- they need one. There's no mediocrity poster -- they need one. There's no apathy poster -- they need one. There's no burnout poster -- they need one.' "
Of course, now there are posters for failure, mediocrity, apathy, burnout, and other grim workplace realities. The brothers Sewell and coworker Kersten saw to it by pooling their severance bucks to launch Despair, Inc.
"It sounds hokey, but we really came out of our prior jobs with a newfound appreciation for just how critical it is to keep your word," Sewell says. "Despair would not exist if so many things had not gone so wrong, most of them involving promises being broken."
Sewell concedes that there is a place for serious products like those sold by U-inspire. He cites Southwest Airlines as one organization where inspirational posters proliferate and make a positive difference. "There's no tension between the messaging that's on the walls and the environment itself, because people there are treated with respect," he explains. "The culture is one that loves the customer, customers love the company, and it all works. Everything is in harmony with itself. But if you put those same motivational posters in an environment where there are massive layoffs, where management seems completely out of touch, where there's a lot of politics, it creates enormous tensions."
This actions-speak-louder-than-words philosophy is echoed by Weinbach. "I stay away from saying, 'this is inspirational,' then giving three quotes that I think will inspire everyone. That's not what this is about. It's really about being respectful, getting to know people, communicating, creating a learning environment, and giving people latitude to make decisions."
Weinbach and Sewell are different indeed, but both are awesome doers who have built successful businesses from scratch. Any company would be lucky to have them. They're also proof positive that the best and brightest are inspired in dramatically different ways. They remind us that those one-size-fits-all motivational approaches really fit only a fraction of the workforce.
In the words of another great doer, General George S. Patton: "If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."Workforce, July 2001, pp. 22-23 -- Subscribe Now!

Academic Leadership
The president, Dr. Lynne Murray, provides oversight of all University academic affairs, and Dr. Brian Posler serves as chief academic officer and manages the academic operations of the University. The University is composed of four academic units administered by four deans who operate as partners in matters that concern the University.
- Dr. Brian Posler, Provost, Dean of the School of Professional & Graduate Studies
- Dr. Bernadette M. Fetterolf, Dean of the School of Nursing
- Dr. Tes Mehring, Dean of the School of Education
Associate and assistant deans support the academic units:
- Dr. Carol Moore, Associate Dean of the School of Nursing
- Martha Harris, Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences
- Dr. Judy Smrha, Assistant Dean for Student Engagement & Success, College of Arts and Sciences
- Dr. Jacob Bucher, Associate Dean of the School of Professional & Graduate Studies
The academic legislative structure of the University is governed by the University Constitution, which stipulates the governing bodies and their responsibilities for each of the four academic units. Each school or college has a primary governing body with associated standing committees. The governing bodies for CAS, SON and SPGS are faculty senates. SOE refers to its governing body as the Professional Education Council.
The process for academic legislation is consistent throughout the four schools. Standing committees make recommendations regarding curriculum and academic policy changes to their appropriate governing bodies. The faculty senates and Professional Education Council forward recommendations regarding new programs, admission or graduation requirements, constitutional amendments and catalog or faculty handbook changes to the University Academic Council (UAC). The UAC consists of the deans of the four schools and faculty representatives from each school. Following approval by the UAC, recommendations are then forwarded to the Board of Trustees for final approval.

Hey all,
I am new here but wanted to tell you about a music/cycling tour I will be doing this summer. Yes music and cycling, guitar and camping gear all strapped to the old bike! The tour is huge, 4 months across Canada, from BC all the way to Nova Scotia, some 6500km all told. The tour aims to promote sustainable transport and heallthy living, and of course having a good time playing music!
Since the tour is run, booked, organized by just two of us I was looking for ideas, cycling clubs, sustainable transport groups, anything that would fit our tour goals mentioned above. I have done long cycling trips before through Mexico, Eastern Europe, Atlantic Canada so I am an avid cyclist all ready so I have a pretty good idea about the biking part, but would love to hear of anything a little out of the ordinary out there!
You can read more about the tour here: www.derekolive.com or www.myspace.com/derekolive
I look forward to hearing some of you ideas!

How did you become interested in Hatshepsut?
From This Story
I live right near the Metropolitan Museum in New York—it's only two blocks away—and they have long owned an enormous collection of materials from Hatshepsut's reign. They have a Hatshepsut gallery, and I was familiar with this gallery and vaguely familiar with her because of that. But like so many people, my view of her was still the popular one: that she was this incredible shrew, she was just a power-mad virago who also had this torrid affair with her minister. So when I heard there was this big exhibition about her, I thought, well that'll make a good story—sex and lies in the Valley of the Kings. And then when I actually started to do some research into the more modern sources on her, I found out that this whole view of her that developed, mainly in the early 20th century and probably into the 1950s and '60s, was probably so erroneous. That was really what I thought would make an interesting article, that here is that woman from history who has been done so wrong, and now we realize that she may have been acting for really noble reasons. It's yet another instance in which we are reminded that history is a matter of opinion.
Can you think of similar instances of powerful women unfairly maligned by history?
Lucrezia Borgia—for so long she was this horrible Renaissance creature who was poisoning her husband and all that, and now we realize that she was really a rather sweet child, quite an innocent actually. Marie Antoinette, who apparently never said "let them eat cake."
Why do you think they get defamed like that? Is it misogyny, or just that people want intrigue and sex?
I asked the scholars about this, and to some extent it was men from a pre-feminist generation who were writing about these women, and any woman who stepped out of the subordinate role was a little scary and potentially suspicious. So I think that was part of it. But one of the other scholars said, also, those earlier historians wanted to tell a good story, and there was maybe a bit of Hollywood in them. So much of the early histories really are a lot more fun to read—how accurate they are is another thing. We all love a good story, that is certainly human nature. That was also the case with Cleopatra—she didn't look a thing like Elizabeth Taylor, she was really rather plain, but I can hardly see the word "Cleopatra" without thinking of Elizabeth Taylor and her iridescent eye shadow. And also the fact that Hatshepsut adopted this male appearance, that made a bad situation worse in a lot of people's eyes, because it seemed that she was denying her femininity, and these were conservative or conventional men who were writing her history, and they found that distasteful.
They had had women rulers though—Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria. Some historians have said that Elizabeth I was thought of as a king in a woman's body rather than just a queen.
There's a quote in which Queen Elizabeth talks about that—"I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king." And there was the example of Queen Victoria. Not every one of the early scholars thought Hatshepsut was out of line, because they had had Queen Victoria, so the idea of a female ruler was all right. Although Queen Victoria didn't dress up like a man.
Has Hatshepsut's image been rehabilitated among Egyptologists?
Yes. But what the scholars are trying to do now—and you know scholars—is to try and make us very aware of what we don't know. They say, "Well, we think maybe this, but please, please understand that so many of the things we did assume were wrong." It's that very cautious, careful process that modern scholars now use.

I try not to be too mainstream in what I choose to write about. It would be silly of me to write a review/critque about OK JOE's because we all know that review need only be 2 words: "Freakin'. Awesome."
So I try to go a little off the beaten path about places that I think are unique, cool, and original to KC. That said, today I preset to you, Fervere Bread.
Fervere is located near downtown at 1702 Summit St. If you like bread (and like every good Italian boy should, boy do I!) than this is definitely a place you need to seek out. This place is so high profile that they are open only THREE days a week, Friday – Sunday. On those 3 days, they are opened until a specific time OR until "sold outâ€. Sold Out usually comes first.
I took my 6 year old with me to Fervere on Valentine's Day to buy a loaf of their speciality, Cranberry-Almond-ChristopherElbow Chocolate Bread.
Ya… that doesn't sound good, at all.
This bread is not available year round and was in limited availability for Valentine's Day. I thought they opened at 10am, so when we got there at about 10:20, we were disappointed to discover that we had to wait until 11am for them to open. As luck would have it, by the time 11am rolled around we were the first in a line of about 35 people that extended all the around the block. That is no joke.
      Side Note: Several people drove by as we were waiting and shouted out their windows, "You know what time they open?†Every        time, my 6 year old daughter replied, "We think Noon!â€. I did not correct her. They drove away.
I have to tell you that chocolate bread was amazing! Many times when integrating chocolate into breads the end result ends up being more like a dessert than a bread. Fervere struck a very nice balance. The chocolate, of course, was magnificent, the almonds (slivered) were present but not overpowering, and the cranberry was the perfect burst of tart and tang.
All of the breads at Fervere possess that perfect "baguette†crunch. Crispy/crunchy exterior and soft as butter inside. Kind of like THIS .
Now the chocolate bread is not always available. In fact, I believe Valentine's Day was only the first or second time it has ever been available. Fear not friends, there are plenty of other delectable choices. The Orchard bread is always a good "go-toâ€. It's made up of apricots, apples, raisins and walnuts to provide a bit of texture. And the word on the street is, the Orchard Bread is the foundation of the world's finest French Toast.
The Olive Rosemary bread is another one of my favorites. It is a bit more traditional, I suppose. Certainly you wouldn't describe it as sweet like you might the Chocolate or the Orchard. The Olive Rosemary is made up of fresh rosemary and savory calamata olives. The olives are moist and suspended in the bread. It's a delight.
However, if you're really looking to challenge yourself not to eat the entire loaf in one sitting, I offer you the Cheese Slipper.
Almost every time I go into Fervere the Cheese Slipper is sold out or very near sold out. Once you try it, you will understand why. It's made up of a light crispy ciabatta embedded with smoky cheddar pieces and topped with garlic cheese curds. Uh… that's dumb.
Well, I assume you are sufficiently hungry at this point. Therefore, I encourage you to check out Fervere Bread. They have superb products and the space itself is very cool. If for some reason you are on a South Beach diet, low carb diet, or some other BS, all i can say is… Â poor bastard.
Happy Eating!

The following letter was sent to the EAST COBBER by East Cobb mom, Ivonne D.Hernández.
This school year I decided to look for a job for my 16-year-old son, Eric, diagnosed with autism to have the experience of working – not that he needs to get a salary but only to understand the concept of working and getting paid for his efforts. I started asking several places in the area such as, the library, book stores, pet stores, and retailers if they had any work opportunities for my special needs son.
I told them they did not have to give Eric a salary, the only thing that I was looking for was an opportunity for Eric to become part of the community where he lives and to learn the concept of working. All those places said they have never done it with a special needs child his age and that I have to escalate it to the corporate level in some cases and in other cases the response was "we can not do it."
I regularly go to The Office Party on Johnson Ferry Road to drop off my mail, so I mentioned to the owner, Jay Doshi, owner of the gift store, about Eric and he immediately said to bring him. Eric started to work last August for a 2-hour shift, Eric was very happy clearing the shelves of the store, cleaning them and putting back things in the correct order, size, shape and/or color. Mr. Jay has been very nice and patient with him. Eric was very excited, while driving from the store to home he told me "I like my job, I like Mr. Jay!"
I just wanted to share my gratitude to Mr. Jay and to life for always putting in my path wonderful people like Mr. Jay.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - South Carolina overwhelmed North Carolina in the second half to win the Shrine Bowl game Saturday 42-10.
The victory was the third in four years for the South in the annual charity game of high school football stars.
The Sandlappers scored on a 3-yard pass from Dexter Staley to Jerrell Adams with 51 seconds left in the half and opened the second half with Quinn Baccus' 33-yard scoring interception.
South Carolina spotted the Tar Heels a 10-0 lead in the first period with offensive mistakes including an interception by Brandon Ellerbe for a 44-yard touchdown.
South Pointe's Jadeveon Clowney was named the south's defensive star and Lake City's Shon Carson who rushed 16 times for 82 yards took the offensive award.

If you have been shopping for a health and fitness related gadget, it looks like another will soon begin shipping. The latest is called the Larklife. The Larklife is currently available for pre-order. The price is $149.99 and as of this time, it is said that it will begin shipping before the holidays. That being said, if you are curious despite the fact that the Larklife is not yet available, continue reading to find out just what it can do.
The Larklife is a fitness tracker that works in combination with an iPhone app and a wristband that you wear. The Larklife has a rather bold description of allowing you to "make little changes and see big improvements without a whole lot of extra effort." More to the point here, the Larklife should help you to exercise smarter, eat smarter, sleep smarter and improve your productivity. What that seems to translate to — reminders that encourage you to workout and take breaks throughout your workday. And nicely, it was said the the wristband will even know the difference between walking and running. Other perks break down as follows; the alarm is a vibrating silent alarm which should wake you more "naturally" and also not bother others as well as a food tracker which is a food diary where you manually enter what you eat. The food diary and having to manually enter everything is not a perfect set-up, however after using a similar app for a while, I will say that it does make you think about what you are going to eat knowing that you will be entering and recording it.
Bottom line here, while the Larklife seems similar (and slightly more expensive) as compared to other similar offerings, I would be lying if I said that I was not curious. I am not entirely certain that I will commit to a pre-order, however I will be curious to see the reviews once the Larklife is readily available.

Remember when Lucic used to hit? Where the HE77 did that player go? He's playing like if he's a finesse player out there. He always was at his best when he hits. And it used to make everyone tougher too.
Exactly right he not close to the guy he used to be
