COLUMBIA, SC March 23, 2013 — The South Carolina men's golf team will look to continue its streak of success on Sunday as it opens play in the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate.
The Gamecocks will play 54 holes during the three-day event on a par-72, 7,282-yard layout at Bulls Bay Golf Club in Awendaw, S.C. Carolina enters the tournament with momentum on its side after stringing together four straight top-three finishes, including a runner-up showing at the Palmetto Intercollegiate last week. It marks the first time a Gamecock squad has recorded four consecutive top-three finishes since the 1999 team placed third or better in six straight events.
"It all started with our last event of the fall," South Carolina head coach Bill McDonald said. "We gained some confidence winning at Kiawah to end the fall. We had a very productive winter break and came out playing really well this spring. The biggest thing I've noticed with this team is even though we have had our typical ups and downs of any college golf round, they have been able to fight through some adversity and hang in there. That's the key in college golf. We've played in some tough conditions and on some tough golf courses in the last three events, and I'm really proud of how they've been fighting."
The lineup will remain the same for South Carolina for the third straight week, as senior Dykes Harbin, sophomore Caleb Sturgeon, freshman Matt NeSmith, sophomore Will Murphy and junior Caulder Moore will tee it up in Awendaw. Harbin, Sturgeon, NeSmith and Murphy have combined to recorded 18 top-20 finishes at team events this season. Moore won a competitive qualifier on Thursday to earn the fifth spot for the third tournament in a row. With this lineup the Gamecocks have finished runner-up in their last two events, with Harbin (T-2nd), NeSmith (T-10th, T-3rd) and Sturgeon (10th) each earning top-10 finishes.
"That nucleus of Dykes Harbin, Caleb Sturgeon, Matt NeSmith and Will Murphy has pretty much been a part of our lineup all year," McDonald said. "And Caulder is starting to play well. (Bulls Bay) is his home golf course, so we are looking for good things out of him this week. We are going to be battling some pretty tough conditions. It looks like the weather is going to be bad on Sunday, and then we will have cool, windy conditions on Monday and Tuesday."
South Carolina helped organize the inaugural Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate in 2005 and will be making its ninth straight appearance at the tournament. Carolina has recorded four top-five finishes in the eight previous appearances, including a runner-up finish in both 2006 and 2008. George Bryan IV holds the distinction of being the highest individual finisher for the Gamecocks at the event as he finished runner-up in 2009 with a total of 201 (-12).
At last year's tournament, the Gamecocks shot a final-round 296 to move up three spots and finish sixth with a total of 877 (+13). Harbin and Sturgeon were South Carolina's top finishers as they finished in a tie for 19th with a total of 219. Blaine Woodruff and Murphy just missed top-20 finishes as they tied for 25th and 29th, respectively.
This year's field is as strong as any in recent history as 10 of the 15 teams are ranked in the Golfstat Top 50. Eleventh-ranked Duke highlights the field along with No. 15 LSU. Defending tournament champion Auburn (No. 21), No. 23 Clemson, No. 26 Texas A&M, No. 28 Wake Forest, No. 36 Missouri, No. 48 North Carolina State and No. 50 Augusta State join the 32nd-ranked Gamecocks as teams entering the event in the top 50. College of Charleston, Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia and Wake Forest round out the field. South Carolina has competed against 11 teams in the field this season and has compiled a 10-5-1 head-to-head record against those teams.
First-round play is scheduled to get underway on Sunday at 10 a.m. Live scoring will be available at golfstatresults.com.

A Beginner's Guide to Fort Lauderdale
Most people think of Fort Lauderdale (and the South Florida area in general) as a poster child for 'fun in the sun' holidays. The type of getaway where you plant yourself under an umbrella, drink in hand, and sunbathe from sunrise to sundown, with the occasional refill of course. But while the city certainly has plenty of leisure activities to enjoy, it also boasts one of America's most highly trafficked tourist markets, leading to an array of dining, shopping, and specialty interest options for visitors to experience.
Beach goers will enjoy miles of white sand beachfront; something the city of Fort Lauderdale prides itself on maintaining through various ongoing redevelopment projects aimed at keeping the destination at the top of the vacation charts. There are no hotels or residences allowed directly on the sand in the area, but just step across the street and you'll find plenty of ocean view accommodations to choose from, including everything from private bungalows and bed and breakfasts to five star resorts.
For history buffs looking to further their learning potential, or simply take a break from the beaming sunshine, Bonnet House Museum and Gardens, along with Stranahan House Museum are two great choices that shed light on Fort Lauderdale's historical significance throughout World War II.
One of the most intriguing slices of history in the area can be found the Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum; established as a non-profit foundation dedicated to the preservation of Packard Motor Co. The 18,000 square foot building houses one of the largest collections of Packard Motor cars (22 in total) still in full working condition, dating from the 1900's – 1940's.
From a dining perspective, the city offers a plethora of mainstream dining options that are easily seen from the main roads with accessible parking. However if you take the time to travel a bit further in-land you'll discover a smaller selection of incredible foodie finds paired with stylish décor and innovative design. Wild Sea Oyster Bar and Grille and YOLO are two such options, serving up an array of top quality dishes in a chic, low-key environment.
Outings for the ladies and gents are always a must, and Fort Lauderdale offers activities for both parties to partake in. For the ladies, indulge at the luxurious Ritz Carlton Spa, with treatments available for both hotels guests and by appointment.
Take the afternoon and explore the boutique-lined streets of Las Olas, or take a short drive to Etiquette Boutique for a touch of 'southern charm'. For the men, spend the day on the green at The Diplomat Resort, located just south of central Fort Lauderdale. The manicured grounds and close proximity to the ocean make it a breathtaking spot for teeing off.
Connecting you to numerous destinations across the United States and Canada, our partnership with Delta makes booking a trip to Fort Lauderdale simple.

rwanda fto duhingekawa women's coop
I tested this at 4 different roast levels and let it rest 3 days before cupping it. This Rwanda is deeper in terms of tonal range than our Gkongoro lot (we won 2nd place at the SCAA competition with that one). I like a slightly more developed roast taste from this, but my finish roast temperature might seem a little low: 432 f. When you taste this coffee, you will see that this number deceives. The way I profiled the roast gave an effective finish temperature of about 440 or so ... numbers do lie, at least in roasting. I am waiting until Wednesday to cup the roast, because a mere 24 hours rest just isn't enough for this coffee, and from this roaster. (note: we rested this coffee and i was impressed with it's nice balance and body. Rwandas are nice in comparison to Kenyas because they have some of the acidity but they are more balanced. I think the Borubon cultivar contributes to this ...) -Tom

Jackson, Miss.
Humana says it will cover the 36 Mississippi counties that had been left uncovered on the new federal online marketplace when it starts enrolling customers in October.
The move means consumers in all counties will be able to buy health insurance through the online exchange. Coverage under those policies begins Jan. 1.
Until Friday, insurers had announced plans to only cover 46 of the state's 82 counties.
Of states where insurers had been announced for exchanges, Mississippi had been the only one with areas that no insurer had filed to serve.
Humana, based in Louisville, Ky., had said it would cover people in four urban Mississippi counties, Hinds, Madison, Rankin and DeSoto.
Magnolia Health Plan, a unit of St. Louis-based Centene Corp., has said it will serve 46 counties.

Size tags which survive many washings are significant too so buying more of the same brand doesn't require visiting a fitting room.
I'm fond of my favorite beer, 1997-1999 Campagnolo Record titanium derailleur, and Litespeed head badge jerseys. I also think I need Rush Fly by Night and 2112 jerseys.
For unpleasantly warm situations I recommend something that's mostly white to reflect sunlight.

There's a big buzz in the auto world over BMW's new X6. Auto writers don't know precisely how to peg it. Officially called a Sports Activity Coupe by its Bavarian maker, the X6 nearly crosses into SUV territory, but doesn't quite make the trip.
The BMW X6 is a brawny offering and its weight makes it just a little off-road shy. (It's probably a good thing too, since the dramatically rearward-sloping roofline limits the headroom and the storage aft. Knowing where to stow your camping gear could be a problem with the X6.) What it loses in tent-storage and trail savvy though, it more than makes up for in performance. The X6 with its standard all wheel drive and longer, broader wheelbase can intimidate mountain switchbacks and icy roads like a champ. Whatever you call it, this is a handsome vehicle with muscles galore and an attitude to match.
With two trim packages to choose from and prices beginning at $58,900, this is not your ordinary utility vehicle. BMW's Integrated Chassis Management and Dynamic Performance Control differential add stability and traction control. The X6 family all come with four-wheel-disc antilock brakes, side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain airbags around, the safety features of these head-turners haven't been neglected.
The X6 Drive50i is powered by an all-new twin turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 which kicks out 400 horses at 5500 rpm, the X6 dashes from zero to 62 mph in a mere 5.4 seconds.
The Drive35i has a twin-turbo 3.0-lite inline six that produces 300 hp. As you might expect, the weight of the X6 is onerous at the gas pump. None of the 3 models exceeds 17 city and 25 highway mpg with the X6M, priced at $89,500, barely skating above 12 city and 17 mpg on the open road.
In addition, there are two other, more specialized models. The X6 M, the uber-performer in the family, weighs in at a hefty 5,300 pounds. Despite its obvious bulk it takes command at the junction of comfort and sport.
Also available is the "green" X6 – the ActiveHybrid also features all-wheel drive and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The battery pack is stored under the cargo floor, so no trunk space is sacrificed. At 5,800 pounds, the ActiveHybrid – a "two-mode hybrid" - is chunkier than even big brother M, but still sprints to 60mph in 5.4 seconds.
They are big. They have a distinctively different look and they are definitely NOT an economy vehicle. Still, drivers rave about these bold new Beamers. They are fast, powerful, agile and very confident in the curves. It's as if the BMW engineers put an SUV and a sports car in a blender, poured it all into a fastback mold, et voila! The X6 was born.
In spite of the headroom and cargo complaints, the pros like it. Car and Driver writes of the 2012 BMW X6, "It's a fully capable, beautifully finished, and superbly comfortable four-place sports car with a trunk big enough for almost any adventure and the ability to tow up to three tons of what won't fit inside."

Sorry, I did not notice 'not' in the second part. It should have been: " 'two nulls are not distinct' does not imply 'two nulls are equal'.

A number of faculty at Saint Louis University are accusing the president of the Jesuit university of targeting them for speaking out against him last year and saying that his actions are not consistent with the university's Catholic identity.
Last year, The Cardinal Newman Society reported on the controversy that occurred after Fr. Lawrence Biondi, S.J., proposed changes to the university's policy on tenure so it ceased being a lifetime appointment and would have to be re-applied for every few years. The outrage from faculty was so strong at the time that the proposal was pulled within a month. In retaliation for Fr. Biondi's short-lived proposal to reform tenure, professors at Saint Louis University delivered a vote of "no confidence" in the university's president.
Now, Inside Higher Ed is reporting that some faculty are accusing Fr. Biondi of seeking retribution by offering only small raises to his most outspoken critics.
The Faculty Senate sent an open letter to all faculty saying, "such acts of apparent retaliation raise new questions about the president's suitability to lead our university consistently with our Catholic, Jesuit traditions."
The American Association of University Professors wrote a letter urging Fr. Biondi to address the Faculty Senate's concerns.

Wauwatosa's Robert Simons Company to close; salon has operated since 1940s
Salon that served generations of Wauwatosans will close at end of month
This February, Rosemary Scheible won't know where to get her hair cut for the first time since 1957. Robert Simons Company, 8720 West North Ave., is slated to close its doors for good to make way for an eye specialist shop.
The salon has been a part of the Wauwatosa community since the 1940s. It was purchased by Bob Janowski in 1955 and taken over by his daughter, Cindy Miller, in the 1970s. The salon has a dedicated following of regulars like Rosemary, who was first brought in by her mother-in-law and took her three children to the store.
Robert Simons' landlord Mark Crego decided to end the salon's lease early in order to make room for an eye specialist who plans to renovate the building and has agreed to pay higher rent than the salon. Crego acknowledges that Robert Simons was a good tenant who always paid rent on time, but the new tenant will allow him to grow the space.
"When I bought the building back in 2009, the tenants that were here had been paying rent that was somewhat under market value," Crego said, citing that the salon didn't have a lease with the previous landlord. "The previous owners never really kept up with things and changed the rent."
Crego, who has his dental office in the same building, believes the eye specialist will add to the healthcare theme of the building.
According to Crego, when he was approached by the eye specialist he offered Miller, the current owner of Robert Simons, a chance to renew her lease at a higher rent. Miller decided not to, ending the store's seven decades of operation in Wauwatosa.
Cutting hair for generations
Scheible has fond memories both of Miller and her father.
"It was like family there," she said. "I really hate to see them go and I think Wauwatosa is going to be saddened. They certainly go above and beyond for their clients. They go to clients' houses to pick them up or go to the salon and take them home."
This service, continued by Miller, began with her father.
Miller recalls a time when the shop's water heater broke. They didn't have any shampoo, so Janowski asked clients to shampoo before coming in. There he made a startling discovery: Almost none of his clients had shampoo at home because his store was the only place they'd go to clean their hair. Janowski, deciding he had to do something, filled bottles with his own shampoo and delivered it to his clients' homes.
"He was always a jokester and always fun," Scheible said. "He knew people that we knew and that was always a common bond for us. We would always check in on each other to see how we were doing."
With the store's closing is Miller's retirement. Her staff will be able to transition to other salons in the area, but she will dearly miss her clientele.
"You become like family," she said. "You take care of the mom and then the kids get married and have kids who get their hair cut."
The Wauwatosa location is the last of two Robert Simons' salons. The other salon, located in Milwaukee, closed previously.

BUFFALO, New York, November 23. WHEN Julia Smit, a senior from Mount Sinai High School, broke the national public school record in the 200 individual medley over the weekend at the New York State Championships, it was obviously the top swim of the meet. After all, her 1:58.29 in the prelims dipped below both the independant and public school records set by Olympians Kristen Caverly and Natalie Coughlin.
But, Smit's swim was only part of a sensational meet. Smit pulled a double by also winning the 100 back in 55.15 and went 1:58.99 in the final of the 200 I.M. She was the only double event winner in the meet.
In other impressive results, Erin McGraw took the win in the 200 free with a 1:51.36 and Kim Larson sprinted to victory in the 50 free, going 24.05. The 500 free went to Aleksa Akersfelds with a 4:55.59. In the 100s, Keri Masterson won the 100 fly in 55.98, Katrice Ewanich took the 100 free in 51.57 and Lindsey Norberg won the 100 breast in 1:03.72.

screen, and it emphasizes another strong feature of the T3 -- the Graffiti 2 writing pad.
With the pad, you wield the stylus like a pen and handwrite information for calendar entries or personal contacts. Unlike my colleague who reviewed the Tungsten E, I liked the Graffiti 2 writing pad.
It took some practice to learn to write letters the way the pad understands them, but once I figured it out, Graffiti 2 clearly solves the problem of a tiresome input process of tapping letters on the T3's software keyboard -- a real chore that takes forever.
I give the Graffiti 2 software extra credit for recognizing my e's. My handwritten version of the letter looks sort of like this -- e -- but the Graffiti 2 recognized it with no problem.
Of course, this can all be avoided if you use the HotSync software to link the T3 to Outlook. Then, you rest the T3 in its cradle, use the USB cable to plug the cradle into your PC, and hit the Sync button -- anything you've got in Outlook gets zapped over to the T3 lickety-split.
The only thing that could significantly improve the T3 is Wi-Fi capability.

Office politics
Government | A longtime vacancy in the State Department reflects low priority given to international religious freedom
WASHINGTON-The seventh floor of the State Department in Foggy Bottom: That's where you want your office to be if you want to be close to the secretary of state.
The State Department's Office of International Religious Freedom (IRF) is not on the seventh floor-it is five floors lower. Between the secretary of state and the State Department's Office of International Religious Freedom lie several officials: The deputy secretary of state, the undersecretary for Democracy and Global Affairs, and the assistant secretary for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
As soporific as the bureaucratic family tree is, it says a lot about the U.S. government's policy priorities.
The IRF office has not had a prominent position at the agency since Congress created it under the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration did little to elevate it. The office has never been included in the secretary's daily meetings with her senior staff. The religious freedom ambassador under Bush, John Hanford, asked to be included in then-Secretary of State Colin Powell's meetings. He was refused.
"Maybe it's something Clinton and Bush got wrong, and Obama has the chance to make better," said Lindsay Vessey, advocacy director from Open Doors USA, a Christian group intimately involved in these issues. "It's an opportunity."
Religious freedom advocates like Vessey are anxious about this administration's attention to the issue because President Obama hasn't appointed an ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. An ambassador, depending on who he or she is, would be able to raise the profile of the issue and perhaps put it before the secretary more often.
Bush named his ambassador, John Hanford, nine months after he took office, and Clinton named an ambassador, Bob Seiple, almost immediately after Congress passed the International Religious Freedom Act in 1998 establishing the office. The ambassador, according to the act, "shall be a principal adviser to the President and the Secretary of State regarding matters affecting religious freedom abroad," helping the secretary in drafting the annual reports regarding religious freedom. But in practice, since the office is removed from the secretary's senior circles, the ambassador is in a rather toothless position.
"The result is that no one takes them seriously," Vessey speculated. "When people are approached for the position they say, 'Well, I could do more where I'm currently at, on the outside.' At least the people who are really qualified."
Tom Farr, director of the office under Bush, said since the 1998 act, the State Department has been "trying to stave off the law. . . . The State Department never liked it. It buried it."
Peter Kovach, the current director of the IRF office and a 30-year foreign service veteran, would disagree. "We're alive and well and have a front office that cares," he told me, referencing his boss, Assistant Secretary of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Michael Posner, who is part of Clinton's daily meetings. "I don't think there's a 'check that box' mentality. . . . Our department has not been silent on these issues."
Kovach credits the IRF office with getting religious freedom into major speeches in this administration. Behind the scenes, he said, the office is constantly lobbying: getting more "no" votes on the defamation of religions resolutions (for which outside groups have applauded the agency), alerting bureaus abroad about religious freedom violations, and strengthening training for foreign service officers on religious freedom issues.
"Eventually there will be an ambassador," Kovach said. "We all have a good understanding of the potential that brings."
Finding someone qualified could be the central problem. The two names in the rumor mill for the position have little or no experience in international religious freedom. One, Suzan Johnson Cook, is a pastor in New York City with no international religious freedom experience; she was a fellow in the Clinton White House. Another name that has bounced around is Leah Daughtry, another pastor who was the head of faith outreach at the Democratic National Committee under Howard Dean. Pastors, Vessey said, "can't survive in that environment."
But even the religious freedom community has few names to offer. "We have not been able to come up with a solid candidate," said Ann Buwalda of the Jubilee Campaign, another Christian group that advocates for religious freedom. "I have not seen one name floated that I'm enthusiastic about." Farr, the former director of the IRF office, suggested others: Knox Thames, who just stepped down as director of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, or Chris Seiple, the son of the first IRF ambassador and former head of World Vision, Bob Seiple.
The debate over an ambassador isn't just office politics. The United States is in the midst of two projects to establish democracies in Afghanistan and Iraq-countries where religion is woven into the fabric of daily life and sectarianism has exacerbated security problems. President Obama seems to recognize this. In his Cairo speech last year, he named seven issues that the Arab world must confront: One was religious freedom. "People in every country should be free to choose and live their faith based upon the persuasion of the mind and the heart and the soul," he said. "This tolerance is essential for religion to thrive, but it's being challenged in many different ways."
After the Cairo speech, the National Security Council and State Department formed various working groups to address issues from the speech-but no group formed on religious freedom.
The watchdog over the State Department on these issues, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), has in the past seen its main task as issuing reports on violators of religious freedom. Theoretically the State Department takes the recommendations of the commission, which is an independent government agency, into account when it releases its list of "countries of particular concern" each year-but while the commission has added five countries to its list over the last three years, the State Department hasn't added any.
"What they have really failed to do is bring fire on the State Department in a constructive way," Farr said of the commission. USCIRF Chairman Leonard Leo said the commission has to balance building relationships with administration officials in order to advise them and condemning the administration's lapses on religious freedom. But he does condemn the Obama administration's lack of action. "Talk is cheap," Leo said, insisting that the administration needs to impose sanctions on violators of religious freedom from China to Iran. The government has a patchwork response to religious freedom violations, often avoiding sanctions in countries that are political allies. "It sends the signal that freedom of religion is a stepchild," Leo said.
For example, Secretary Clinton has avoided discussing human-rights issues in China, much less religious liberty-though China is on the State Department's list of "countries of particular concern." The agency has other competing interests that have superseded religious freedom concerns: trade, regulating emissions, currency, and all the American debt the Chinese government owns.
But all of those economic and security interests would be bolstered by advances in religious freedom, advocates say. "There are so many areas in our foreign policy where religious freedom ought to be part of the wallpaper," said Farr.

Even as Indian tech companies have sent out positive signals on hiring this year, several multi-national tech companies in India are in hiring-freeze mode, while also letting go of employees in sizable numbers or repatriating them into divisions that are not being shut down.
On Wednesday, news emerged from global IT giant IBM of several hundred jobs being cut at its India centres in the last few days. Several posts at Alliance@IBM a global union website for IBM employees reported a massive layoff at IBM India in Bangalore.
Just heard from a colleague in Bangalore that job cuts there have begun. Workers asked to leave on the spot. He claims six out of 23 people in his department, said one post at the union site.
Job cuts in India STG announced today including managers. Asked to return laptops within two hours and leave premises, said a post at the site that claimed to be from Bangalore.
Sources in IBM India said the company had been primed for a massive job cut in April last year but the lay offs were not effected and employees were told that they would not receive hikes in salaries till December 2013.
Earlier employees who were leaving the company were not being held back and employees who were being asked to leave were being given three months time to find jobs within the company or outside. What is happening now, over the last two days, is that people are being just asked to leave. It is a little bad now, sources in IBM India said. Sources, however, said that the layoffs were not massive as described in the posts.
IBM India is the biggest development unit of IBM and employs nearly 84,000. The post on Alliance@IBM suggested that as many as 40 per cent of the jobs in India were being slashed, but sources in IBM India said the numbers were much smaller.
Many IBM employees, who were contacted, said they had not heard of the layoffs.
Speculation about the company carrying out a rebalancing of resources has been in the air every time the company has reported poor growth over the last two years.
At least two other major MNC tech companies have restructured its workforce with silent layoffs and shut down of non performing units over the last two months.
In January, president of Intel India Kumud Srinivasan had stated that the company was instead

Android App Tablet Review: Stellar Escape
Stellar Escape is a pulse-pounding running game that will test both your reflexes and your patience.
As you run through a space station to escape your pursuers, you have to deal with all kinds of obstacles, each with their very own 'avoid' button. The game can be very frustrating before you get used to the awkward five button controls. As you jump, slide, and dive through obstacles, it can be difficult to get the timing just right.
Once you've become accustomed to the game, you'll find it's actually easier on a tablet. The buttons are much bigger and spaced out farther, making it easier to avoid mistakes. Add to that a great soundtrack, and you've got the makings of a solid title.
Stellar Escape is a great addition to your tablet device, providing you have the patience for it.

The concert was in two parts. First (pre-intermission) focues on more "classical" peieces (e.g., Bach, Handel, Williams). Although the Bach was not my favorite of his works, they were beautiful. Post-intermission comprised more contemporary...continued

This week on DVD/Blu-ray: The latest from the Dardenne brothers; one of the most buzzed-about documentaries of last year; a moving coming-of-age drama that ranks as one of the best high school movies released in a good long while; a charming Sundance character study about a man and his robot; and a "Dangerous Liaisons" adaptation that proves the classic tale has lost none of its bite.
#1. "The Kid With a Bike"
The Palme d'Or winning Belgian brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenn ("Rosetta," "L'Enfant") return with this acclaimed French-language drama about an 11-year-old boy (remarkable newcomer Thomas Doret) who turns to a stranger (Cécile de France) after his father (Dardennes' mainstay Jeremie Renier) abandons him. Winner of the Grand Prix (the runner-up prize to the Palme d'Or) at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, "The Kid With a Bike" packs an emotional whallop that feels warranted given the realism the famed directing duo bring to the table.
Extras: A new conversation between film critic Kent Jones and the directors; an interview with de France; a new interview with Doret; "Return to Seraing," a half-hour documentary in which the Dardennes revisit five locations from the film; the film's trailer; plus a booklet featuring an essay by critic Geoff Andrew
#2. "Bully"
A hit at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival where it was swiftly acquired by The Weinstein Company, the documentary "Bully" sheds a harsh and much needed light on the bullying epidemic that's plaguing the American school system. Director Lee Hirsch opens "Bully" by recounting the 2009 suicide of Tyler Long, a teen who took his own life after years of being bullied. Using that horrifying incident as a springboard, Hirsch opens up his film to follow a handful of bullied children across the country, to address what is evidently a country-wide problem.
Extras: The two-disc set includes the Blu-ray and a DVD copy of the film. Extras include a special version of "Bully" edited for a younger audience; six deleted scenes; a handful of making-of featurettes; a "Good Morning America" segment; and a text-based advertisement for a companion book.
#3. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"
Stephen Chobsky's novel "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" became something of a "Catcher In The Rye" for the Millennial generation when it was published back in 1999. Over a decade later, Chobsky has written and directed the book's cinematic adaptation himself, and it's a total tear-jerking winner. The film centers on freshman Charlie (Logan Lerman), an outcast at his high school who befriends two outspoken seniors, Sam (Emma Watson) and Patrick (Ezra Miller), who open him up to new experiences and help him come out of his shell.
Extras: Audio commentary with Chbosky; cast and director audio commentary with Lerman, Watson, Miller and Chbosky; "Best Summer Ever" featurette; deleted scenes with optional audio commentary by Chbosky; and dailies.

Count your blessings when you find an album like John Boutté's remarkable "ALL ABOUT EVERYTHING."
In twelve songs performed by a confederacy of the many talents that walk the streets of New Orleans in 2012, Boutté's voice reigns benevolently, intimate and commanding. An inviting listen, the album tugs at you collectively, teasing you to find a favorite among the local compositions and the more universal covers.
His fans know his live performances of Leonard Cohen's "Hallellujah" will make you cry with nostalgia and joy, but the gospel treatment in this version sounds just right. Compositions by masters Dave Bartholomew and Allen Toussaint sound perfectly at home, as they should, and you will feel compelled to add another name to that list: Paul Sanchez's "A Thousandfold" is a brilliant little sparkle of writing that can only be distilled by years of experiencing joy and pain in the city.
Bet you can't listen just once.
ALBUM: All About Everything
ARTIST: John Boutte
LABEL: Boutteworks, 2012.

Enberg can't wait to do it again
Dick Enberg prepared for the worst in his return to baseball. Instead, he was rewarded with something magical.
And now he can't wait to do it again.
"I never even thought of not coming back" in 2011, Enberg said the other day.
He is, however, thinking about whether he wants to pursue any other broadcasting opportunities while also calling Padres games. This year, of course, he missed more than five weeks of baseball while he worked a pair of tennis tournaments, Wimbledon for ESPN and the U.S. Open for CBS.
"I really missed it. I really missed the games," he said, noting how he followed the games on his iPad in the wee hours in London and New York. "As much as I was enjoying the tennis, I was missing the Padres."
Enberg, 75, is under contract with Channel 4 San Diego for 2011. He also said he has a contract to work the Australian Open for ESPN in January, and he definitely will do that since it concludes before spring training. He said he has no deal right now to work Wimbledon and an "option either way" with CBS for the U.S. Open.
"From my point of view, it's been so terrific for me that I'm going to have to wait until I spend a month or so after the season's over to make sure that my head is clear. I'm making serious lifetime decisions based on how much I enjoyed this year. It's been so fulfilling. … I'm already looking forward to next year.
"The whole experience has really surprised me. I never thought I'd even be ruminating over these possiblities. I'm seriously thinking about what do I want to do with the rest of my life. I know part of that answer is I want to continue to do baseball."
Obviously Enberg's enjoyment increased as the Padres went through a season he called "magical," but he said the thrill would have been there regardless.
"We're fortunate to be part of a terrific season, totally unexpected," he said. "I braced like all of us that the pundits were right and we were 29th out of 30 teams."
Of course, now the games mean more than ever and Enberg and Mark Grant will be on the sidelines again Saturday when Fox swoops in for the sixth straight week. (Chargers radio voice Josh Lewin will call the game.)
"We've gone through this whole season; we're about to deliver this baby, and I'm going to sit up in the booth like a fan," Enberg said. "That doesn't feel very good. I want to do that game. I understand that; I've been on the other side as well.
"It just seems to me that when you get down to the final week of the season, shouldn't local television be able to make the call? You can watch Fox in San Diego or you can watch us in San Diego. At least let us do the final series of the season! I'll be watching that game, hopefully with a smile, but with tears coming down my cheeks."
Radio daze
Next week is a big one in local sports radio, starting Monday when Jim Rome's syndicated show shifts from XX Sports Radio to XTRA Sports 1360 and Chris Ello and Ben Higgins team up for a midday show (a change from the original plan to have Ello host by himself). So XTRA 1360 will have a weekday lineup of Dan Patrick at 6 a.m., Rome at 9 a.m., Ello and Higgins at noon, Josh Rosenberg and Charod Williams at 3 p.m. and Fox Sports Radio programming after 7 p.m.

And 99% of the time thats complete BS, no fighter wants to be honest and admit it was there own fault. But the ones who come back stronger, are those that are honest with themselves, because they can genuinely move forward and learn.
Virgil Hunter is the next level for Brook, but it looks like Khan already got in, Freddie Roach is a no no no no no, Emmanuel Steward aint well, Roger Mayweather I doubt also, Joel Diaz? Maybe. McCraken? I don't see getting any more out of him than what the Ingles are doing. Jim McDonnell don't think so at all. So what does that leave, staying at the Ingle gym? Clev's dad? I doubt. Ricky Burns trainer? **** knows.
Adam Booth could be a decent shout!
I think it's about gameplans and improving on what he has now.
But I guarantee if Brook repeats the Carson Jones thing, not necessarily in the next fight, but in the next few fights, they'll shift all the blame onto Dominic Ingle.
I hope you were being sarcastic suggesting Clevs dad! Dont make much of Jim "good boy, good boy" Mcdonnell.
Adam Booth or Mckracken would be a good shout. I dont think a mobve would be that big a deal for brook, was it kid Gallhad that said Kell didnt have much of a personal relationship with Dominic?

This is great!! Thanks!
There's great work in this - well done, and thanks for sharing.

text: November 2011 Name Eric Jacobi When and how did you get into using tools/doing projects? I started using tools in model railroading. Mostly precision tools like tiny screwdrivers and pliers. I would build new model railroad cars and restore old ones that I bought used. What do you do when you're not tinkering in the garage and working on other projects? I am very much a railroad enthusiast. You can find me track-side taking photographs of trains. There is just something to be said about the growling of diesel locomotives as they pull tons of freight to their destination. What's the project you're most proud of? Construction of my shop to what it is today. I took concepts from my Dad, fiance, and myself and combined them together to make a workshop that fits my workflow and my style. I feel content and happy with the layout and organization. Any stories of DIY disaster? After installing a chandelier in my kitchen, I also replaced an old switch with a newer rocker switch. What missed my eye was frayed hot wiring in the back of the box. When I turned the breaker on, sparks flew everywhere as the hot wire was rubbing against the metal box. By the time I got back to the breaker and turned it off, I came back upstairs to a partially melted switch and warped switch plate. A few seconds longer and the whole house could have caught fire! Needless to say I check all of my wiring now before I turn anything on. Why do you use Craftsman tools? I fell in love with Craftsman when my Dad passed on a 1940's era Craftsman wood vise to me. I was amazed at how for being so old, it was in such good condition. As I became more acquainted with the brand, I came to learn about all the benefits that come with Craftsman, like the lifetime warranty on hand tools, the ability to get parts at Sears Parts & Repair, and going to the Craftsman Community for help and support. How did you get your DIY skills? I learned handyman skills when I worked in the lumber yard at Menards. Training was essential to being able to help customers with their home improvement needs. Beyond that, I talked to customers as well and learned a thing or two from their DIY skills. I sure wish Menards had Craftsman tools back then! Anything you have to say to other craftsmen out there? Safety. I can't emphasize how important safety is. Never put yourself in danger by doing something you know just doesn't feel right. If you are unsure, have someone supervise you while you work - or even help you. When working in your shop, always keep safety at the front of your mind.

All Internet access and usage charges are the sole responsibility of the entrant.

Media adds punch to your posts
My Presentation Outline for April MeetUp
If you want to improve your blog posts start thinking more about the media. I'm talking photos, graphics, charts, slide shows, audio and video. The more media included the more interesting your posts will appear and the more people will be drawn to your content.
As a special added bonus, the search engines are going to value your posts higher as well, if you get the tags right.
Ok, the photo here is a bit rough, but it is from the event. I took it with my iThing in a darkish room and it's fine for this. You're not always going have, or need, a high quality photograph. Use the smart phone or other small camera you've got in your pocket. It's great for blog posts.
The photo here is edited, using Gimp. This is no bonus for SEO but may help you enhance your message, an more polished in the eyes of some humans.
Gimp is a free, open-sourced graphic editor similar to Photoshop. I use Gimp every day and love it. Join me in one of my Gimp workshops or tutorials if you'd like to learn this great program.
Often you will be writing about something that you don't have any personal pictures from. In this case I find the CC photos on Flickrr [Creative Commons] a superb option. There are millions of photos and graphics there that are available under special license. You can usually find something very suitable without having to spend anything. You'll keep your blog legit too when you don't steal graphics from other sources.
The plugin I'm using here is new to me but I am loving it. It finds the art for you and handle the licensing credit for you. Go get PhotoDropper and see how easy this is.
Alt Tags for images
Always use keyword named media files, Enter ALT Tags and descriptions for all media in your blog – check out your actual status with the tool below.
H Tag And Alt Tag Checker
WordPress Editing Note:
editing the alt tags in published posts requires editing each post. When you change the fields in the media manager it has no affect on published post, but does make the change on any future posts using that image. Adding alt tags for your main keywords can have a big impact on search results and traffic so it is perhaps worth the trouble.
Audio files
In March the Meetup topic was SEO and was presented by Jenny Munn. The content has great value and I have the mp3 recording posted here. If you want to start with the basics of SEO you should download this 1 hour long mp3 audio file now, as I may remove it later.
Atlanta Bloggers March presentation on SEO by Jenny Munn [1hr mp3 audio]
Video; The Main Event!
YouTube – It's the place to start
Video will be the biggest portion of my presentation at Atlanta Bloggers Meetup in April, as it's the primary communication tool here in the digital age. In my opinion video is no longer optional for bloggers but is a necessary feature for good blog health and continued success.
Notice I am using no camera to make this video – Sometimes Animoto and other video creation sites can be extremely effective.
Now one of my favorite things about video is that you don't have to make your own. Other people create excellent video and allow you to share it via embed codes. The following lesson is useful to show you this can be a great strategy, and the content of video SEO is very high value.
Part of SEO for videos is simple, and I'll be talking about this at the meetup. Then we get to XML video Sitemaps. That where I'll be leaving it up to you to research if you're interested. The muck gets deep and few everyday bloggers want to get into this.
This video, from SEOMoz, is hosted by Wistia, a good paid video hosting solution. This can be a good choice for commercial or high traffic sites
Slide Share – "secret sauce"
Video is not the only helpful media
Slide shares can be really helpful in keeping visitors interest and telling your story. My advice is to add any slide share presentations you make to your blog. If you're making presentations in the real world than re-purpose that material again via sites like slideshare.net extend the value of your work. It very little extra trouble to get a much bigger bang for your buck.
This is the presentation that I'll be giving to Atlanta Bloggers. It's a Google Doc file and is being developed 'live'. Frequent changes may occur. If you see this before the meetup on April 4th then it's surely not complete.
OK – for some reason this google doc pres may be causing display errors so im removing it to test—
heres a link to view the presentation
Come join the meetup and learn a little to improve your efforts, plus have a really good time. We generally have about 50 bloggers that range widely in experience and topics so there's always something for everybody.
Learn and join here at Atlanta Bloggers Meetup page
See you there!

When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. Then He said to them, "With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God." Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me." Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you. But behold, the hand of my betrayer is with me on the table. And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!" Then they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing. (Luke 22: 14-23)
Jesus had a fervent desire to eat Passover with His disciples because that would be the very last time he would do it. Everything would pause, so to speak, until the coming of His kingdom. So, He told them, "Do this in remembrance of me". In other words, "Do this so you don't forget what it is important: Me and my kingdom."
Every Christian's purpose is God's kingdom advancement. The purpose of our lives is not our own fulfillment, although a fulfilled life is the byproduct of serving God. Like soldiers who fight to bring glory and honor to His country, and not to ourselves, we are called to live for God's kingdom.
The cup of wine is a reminder that we have been bought with a price, His own death on the cross and the shedding of His blood. It is because of His sacrifice for us, that we are enabled to live for Him.
We need to fix our eyes in Christ, press toward the goal and remind ourselves constantly that we have a King and a Kingdom to live and die for.
Every time we eat the bread and drink the wine we are, above all, reminded of who we are – disciples, servants and soldiers of Christ's Kingdom.

Here is my first attempt at creating usable tokens for a game. It is a top down view of a medieval cart. I used real wood textures in the work and then watercolored them up slightly to diffuse some of the sharpness of them. I am still not sure about real world textures in battlemap pieces. I see alot of great art that I think are using real textures as the basis of the piece, but they always manage to cover them in such a way as to make them also seem painted by hand. Anyone know if real world textures are used alot in professional battlemaps?
Anyways, I digress. Here is the cart. Let me know what you think and what can be improved. Thanks.

What Makes Special Guests so Special?
Special Guests, Inc. is a publicity firm, founded in 1986, that specializes in obtaining "performance-based, positive publicity on purpose" for clients on radio and television talk shows. With 24 years of experience in the Talk Show business, we have established high quality relationships with radio and television talk show hosts and producers to better serve you. We frequently place guests on Fox News Channel, CNN, NBC and on thousands of radio talk shows. Do you have a product, service or message you could talk about on the air? If so, you may qualify to become one of our Special Guests.
We take the time to learn about your organization. Together we would review your products and/or services that would be of highest interest to national audiences. Our goal is to make an interesting and informative presentation to wide audiences without sounding like an infomercial. We work as a team to connect breaking news topics to whatever it is that you are promoting. When done properly, viewers and listeners respond positively, rewarding you with new streams of income, a larger mailing list and more traffic to your web site.
Publicity vs. Advertising: Which is a better for you? Let's compare the two.
TRADITIONAL ADVERTISING: You could hire an advertising agency to take your money to buy ads that are merely 30 to 60 seconds in length. If you go this route, you might need hundreds, if not thousands, of these ads to be effective. Your ad executive will likely tell you that you need "frequency" or "repetition" (more money) to get your message across. It can be quite a costly affair.
SPECIAL GUESTS PUBLICITY: You could utilize our services to get you on Talk Shows, which are often 30 to 60 minutes in length. With talk shows, you usually don't need to be on multiple times to be effective. Sometimes you can effectively get your message out with a single Talk Show interview. Furthermore, studies show that people tend to screen out information they hear in ads, while believing what they hear or see on news or talk shows. The host also adds credibility by often giving a "de facto endorsement" by merely having you as a guest on the program. For these reasons and more, it can take hundreds of ads to equal the effectiveness of a single Talk Show interview.
We have broadcast media specialists strategically located in New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Denver, Hartford, Austin, Raleigh, Knoxville, Topeka, Muskegon and Melbourne, to better serve you.
Some might think it is because of the guests our team has placed on talk shows, including Ed McMahon, George Foreman (boxer-turned-entrepreneur), George Bush, Deborah Norville, Scott Rasmussen, former terrorist Walid Shoebat or clients we've represented for 10 to 20 years, including Gun Owners of America Executive Director Larry Pratt, Morality in Media President Robert Peters, and Author Avi Lipkin.
Others might believe we're special because we've booked so many guests on television programs including Oprah, The Today Show, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, ABC News Nightline, Hannity, or The O'Reilly Factor. Others could say it is because of we regularly place guests on radio shows including Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity Radio, Michael Savage, Coast to Coast AM or CBS World News Round-up. Yes these are nice.
But what really makes Special Guests special are the preeminent three M's: 1) The Message and 2) The Messenger, and 3) The Maker. When we have the right Message (a vital cause, product or service) and the right Messenger (Could it be you?) that are pleasing to The Maker, our Creator, and together we make history and help change the world!
What is your special message? Is it helpful to humanity? Is it God-honoring? Let us know. Together we can partner to get your vital message out to thousands or even millions of people who need what you have.
Call us now and let us know about you and your message: (630) 548-9300 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com or fill-out our very short Online Application Form and we will try to respond promptly.
|We've booked guests on these shows and many more!
