So, I ordered a pair of triathlon shoes "by accident," because I didn't realize they were tri-specific until after I did it.
However, besides liking the color better than my alternative, I feel like they will be not just "fine" but might even work better for me. They have additional ventilation, which will be great for me in Summer, or for riding in rain.
I've searched all over BF and the only real drawbacks mentioned are in the road forum, where they talk about sprinting or climbing out of the saddle. I tend to do neither.
So, I'm thinking this is a non-issue, but am I missing anything?
What I ordered:

Trixie can't wait to bring her one-of-a-kind Knuffle Bunny to school and show him off to everyone. But when she gets there, she sees something awful: Sonja has the same bunny. Suddenly, Knuffle Bunny doesn't seem so one-of-a-kind anymore. Chaos ensues until the bunnies are taken away by Ms. Greengrove. After school, Trixie finally gets her beloved bunny back. But in the middle of the night, Trixie realizes something. She has the wrong bunny! Daddy comes to the rescue again as a midnight swap is arranged with the other bunny, the other little girl, and the other daddy. Needless to say, the daddies are not very happy. By the end of the story Trixie has her beloved bunny back, but she has also gained something new: her very first best friend. In the tradition of the Caldecott Honor-winner Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale, this is another heartfelt, hilarious picture book that children (and their parents) will love.

Snorkeling is a great way to explore underwater life without the complicated equipment required of scuba diving. It's important to learn how to breathe using snorkels properly, and to receive instruction from an experienced snorkeler or equipment-rental facility. Coral, an ecosystem of shell and marine life, is a popular attraction for snorkelers and must be respected. As ocean organisms that support plants and fish, coral reefs are an essential part of the underwater ecosystem. Unfortunately, the coral reef is threatened by climate change, ocean acidification, and people who mistreat it. Touching coral can harm the delicate outer layer, which may take up to 100 years to recover.
Know where to snorkel. Just about any body of water is appropriate, but snorkeling is most recommended in warm ocean water with minimal waves. Connect with your Girl Scout council for site suggestions.
Include girls with disabilities. Communicate with girls with disabilities and/or their caregivers to assess any needs and accommodations. Learn more about the resources and information that the National Instructors Association for Divers with Disabilities provides to people with disabilities.
Basic Gear
Specialized Gear
Girls plan the activity. Keeping their grade-level abilities in mind, encourage girls to take proactive leadership roles in organizing details of the activity.
Ensure participants are able to swim. Participants' swimming abilities are classified and clearly identified (for instance, with colored headbands to signify beginners, advanced swimmers, etc.) at council-approved sites, or participants provide proof of swimming-test certification. In the absence of swimming-test certification, a swim test is conducted on the day of the activity. Consult with your Girl Scout council for additional guidance.
Arrange for transportation and adult supervision. The recommended adult-to-girl ratios are two non-related adults (at least one of whom is female) to every:
Verify instructor knowledge and experience. Ensure that the snorkeling instructor holds instructional certification from Scuba Schools International (SSI), Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), or has equivalent certification or documented experience and skill in teaching and/or supervising snorkeling.
Size up snorkeling gear. Ensure the appropriate sizes of masks, snorkels, and fins are available, and make sure that masks fit girls' faces securely and comfortably. An air space is needed in front of the eyes in order to see properly underwater. Also keep in mind that objects viewed underwater while wearing a mask appear about 25 percent larger and closer than objects seen through a mask out of water.
Safeguard valuables. Don't leave personal belongings and valuables unattended in a public place. If working with a snorkeling school, inquire about the company's storage amenities.
Prepare for emergencies. If a lifeguard is not on duty, an adult with rescue experience and/or certification is present; if snorkeling from a boat, at least one adult has small-craft safety certification or equivalent experience. (Both of these qualifications can be held by one person.) Ensure the presence of a waterproof first-aid kit and a first-aider with a current certificate in First Aid, including Adult and Child CPR or CPR/AED, who is prepared to handle cases of near-drowning, immersion hypothermia, and sunburn. If any part of the activity is located 60 minutes or more from emergency medical services, ensure the presence of a first-aider (level 2) with Wilderness and Remote First Aid. See Volunteer Essentials for information about first-aid standards and training.
Use the buddy system. Girls are divided into teams of two. Each girl chooses a buddy and is responsible for staying with her buddy at all times, warning her buddy of danger, giving her buddy immediate assistance if safe to do so, and seeking help when the situation warrants it. If someone in the group is injured, one person cares for the patient while two others seek help.
Be prepared in the event of a storm with lightning. Exit water immediately, and take shelter away from tall objects (including trees, buildings, and electrical poles). Find the lowest point in an open flat area. Squat low to the ground on the balls of the feet, and place hands on knees with head between them.
Kick things up a notch. There are several styles of kicks in snorkeling. The flutter kick is the most common and involves moving legs up and down while positioned horizontally in the water. The dolphin kick involves motioning fins in unison on downward and upward strokes. With the frog kick, fins are kept together with toes pointed as the snorkeler brings them closer to the torso by bending the knees.
Learn about underwater photography. Borrow or rent a waterproof camera (appropriate for the depth of water you're diving in) and take photos of sea life and fellow divers.
We've made the resources you need easy to find!

Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
As the iPad's popularity continues to grow, mainstream media is starting to open up to the idea of creating apps for the masses. One of these large companies is National Geographic. While there are pretty much endless possibilities as to the kind of app they could have created, for some reason they decided to make a jigsaw puzzle app. To show off some of the beautiful artwork that only National Geographic can provide, they decided to offer an interactive experience that will both challenge and awe users at the same time.
The result, however, is quite the opposite. Mixed with clunky controls and a very boring experience, this app ends up feeling too simple and really doesn't offer anything exciting. Users can view the photos without having to build a puzzle but even that experience is lacking any type of innovation or creativity. This was sad because I was hoping for an entertaining app and instead got a mess of an app that couldn't decide what it wanted to be.
Overall, the photos are great and it definitely has some value, but it really just felt like a big waste of time.

Strong start for South Side
1 2 Next page >
Senior midfielder Michaela Lynch scored with four minutes remaining, won the ensuing faceoff, and South Side burned the rest of the clock to secure an 11-10 Conference II girls' lacrosse victory at Lynbrook last Friday. It was the fifth goal of the game for Lynch, who also added three assists.
"It really could've gone either way," coach Meaghan Healey said after the Lady Cyclones improved to 2-0 in conference play and 4-1 overall. "We just stuck with it and found a way to win."
Junior midfielder Hannah Serling added four goals, while the Lady Owls got five goals and one assist from senior Julia Sarnataro, and two goals and two assists from junior Chandley Borges. Lynbrook (2-3), which got 12 saves from junior goaltender Sarah Chyriwski, suffered its third one-goal defeat in five games.
"We've played some of the best teams in the conference," Lady Owls coach Vincent Tetro said. "South Side has a great program. We're a young team, and it's encouraging we've played everyone tough."
Healey said there was no plan to maintain possession throughout the final four minutes, but the Lady Cyclones took what the defense gave them and killed the clock. Senior Liz Hoeffner and junior Juliana Pellegrini chipped in a goal apiece.
It was the fourth time in five games South Side reached double digits in goals. A good chunk of the offense is coming from a midfield led by captains Lynch, an All-County performer headed to George Washington, and Hoeffner, an All-Conference selection bound for Binghamton, as well as Serling, also an All-Conference honoree.
Lynch, who last spring tallied 51 goals and 40 assists, is off to a huge start with 20 goals and 16 assists through five games. "With her skill and speed, she has the ability to dominate," Healey said. "She's such a great playmaker and when the defense converges, she'll just find someone who's open."

The year is 1985. Benji Cooper is one of the only black students at an elite prep school in Manhattan. After a tragic mishap on his first day of high school his social doom is sealed for the next four years. But every summer, Benji escapes to the Sag Harbor, where a small community of African American professionals has built a world of their own. Because their parents come out only on weekends, he and his friends are left to their own devices for three glorious months. And although he's just as confused about this all-black refuge as he is about the white world he negotiates the rest of the year, he dares to hope that this summer will be different. There will be trials and tribulations, of course - from the complicated new handshakes, and state-of-the-art profanity, to his misshapen haircut (which seems to have a will of its own), and his secret Lite FM addiction. But maybe, with a little luck, things will turn out differently this summer.

.- This year's nationally televised Easter mass will be taped at the Cathedral of St. Louis in New Orleans and presided by Archbishop Alfred Hughes. It will be available to ABC-TV stations nationwide to broadcast at their discretion April 16.
The New Orleans cathedral, which survived Hurricane Katrina with minimal damage, was chosen as the location for this celebration to demonstrate the hope and resilience of the people of faith in the archdiocese.
The Cathedral of St. Louis, located in the French quarter, was established in 1718. It had recently completed an extensive renovation when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans last August.
The hour-long liturgical special is being produced by WLAE-TV in New Orleans in cooperation with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC).
A list of stations and scheduled broadcasts will be available on the USCCB website (www.usccb.org) beginning April 7.

Police: Sussex Tech teacher sexted student
Delaware State Police arrested a Sussex Tech teacher Feb. 20 after they say he had been sending sexually charged text messages to a student for almost a year.
Stanley Daniel Zakrociemski, 36, of Millsboro began sending a 17-year-old student text messages of a sexual nature in March 2012, said Cpl. Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police. A Sussex Tech press release said he was a Student Youth Activities Coordinator.
A school employee recently discovered the texts and contacted school administrators, Fournier said.
"You are amazingly hot ... sexy ... beautiful ... I'm so crazy in love with you!!!! Please come over!!!!!!" one of the messages read, in part.
Fournier said the relationship between Zakrociemski and the student, who turned 18 in December, was never physical.
Zakrociemski was charged with five counts of sexual solicitation of a child under 18. He was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution in default of $100,000 secured bond.
According to Office of Management and Budget records, Zakrociemski started work at Sussex Tech at the beginning of the 2011-12 school year, six months before the texts to the student began. His salary is $55,841.
Carolyn O'Neal, spokeswoman for Sussex Tech, said he is suspended with pay at this time, pending the completion of the investigation.

Is this to be our legacy? Have we created a new model of HR in which the actual HR component is minimal? Are we so focused on supporting the business that we have forgotten our duty as HR stewards? What exactly, then, is an "HR business partner," and do we really need them at all?
My window on the field of HR spans from the end of the "personnel" era in the 1970s to the present. While for the most part I have no interest in going back to the largely administrative role of those early days, I'm not sure I want to go forward on the path we are on either.
More and more often I meet midlevel HR executives who have spent nearly their entire career in client-supporting HR generalist roles. Few have had any depth of experience in what we affectionately call the HR "silos"—compensation, recruitment and staffing, employee relations/advocacy, organization development, communications or, heaven forbid, labor relations. They are well versed at analyzing business issues and identifying human capital implications or concerns, but many are unable to fashion effective solutions from the HR tool kit.
Once upon a time there were "specialists" (in the earliest days at each plant or location) from whom a "generalist" could acquire needed knowledge. Today, if those positions exist at all they are in distant centers of excellence or outsourced to business process outsourcers. Under this scenario, where does a generalist go for help? To the textbooks we write and use in academia? I hope not.
Big companies today routinely hire chief human resource officers with little or no HR experience into the top job. This notion that you can do HR without any real HR skills arises in several forms. Bill Conaty, the recently retired chief human resource officer at GE, was asked in an interview, "Can anybody do HR?" Fortunately, he answered no. In fact, he went on to suggest that talented HR professionals working in companies with that philosophy (that specific HR domain knowledge is irrelevant) probably needed to move to another company.
While GE is often cited as a company that takes HR very seriously and generally does HR work well, few realize the extent to which GE invests in the recruitment, selection and development of "the best and brightest" HR candidates from a handful of top-notch universities. Those who thrive in the GE culture receive continuous training and development in HR throughout their careers. And they earn their keep by delivering HR products that help the business, not by writing white papers that identify the problem. Mastery of some set of foundational knowledge in the human resources domain, and the ability to fashion solutions, is critical if the business partner model is to fully deliver on its promise.
But today's undergraduate and graduate students in HR are repeatedly sent signals that the real need in the field is for more "strategic" players. As best I can decipher, to them being "strategic" translates to not being required to do any real HR work. They view filling open jobs or helping a line manager document a tricky performance case as beneath them—from their first day on the payroll! How did we get ourselves into this predicament?
One of my close academic colleagues blames the success that the leading HR guru, Dave Ulrich, has achieved in gaining global acceptance of the HR business partner concept. This mythic creature of great beauty (the business partner role, not Dave Ulrich) allowed the last generation of HR practitioners to hope for a better day, which was a valuable contribution to a field with a self-image problem. But the unintended consequence was to diminish the value of the real work through which HR earns credibility and, with it, line management's ear. It also promotes a myth that everyone in HR can be strategic, every day. If nobody in the field wants to do the real work, what exactly do we bring to the table? Have we so diluted the field and the role that we are simply advisors or consultants? Is that all that is left when we finish our "transformation"?
I hope not. I hope that more companies will return somewhat to the basics and tell this next generation of HR professionals that when a company is growing, there are few things more "strategic" than filling open jobs. I hope they'll say that when a company's success is constrained by poor performers who drag down the entire organization, it is "strategic" to either help improve those people's performance or manage them out of the organization. I hope the next HR generation will understand that when a compensation plan fails to provide the motivation and incentive to support the company's goals, it is "strategic" to design a better comp plan. When tough times hit, carefully managing reductions in force is the definition of strategic. And finally, when conflict pits labor and management against each other in Detroit—or Pune—it is "strategic" to find ways to reduce conflict and build trust. All these things are strategic. They're just not easy.
So call me old-fashioned. But I am just as excited today about the role of HR as I was 30 years ago—maybe more excited. With broad recognition that how people are managed is directly tied to competitive advantage, HR has never had a bigger platform. For a truly qualified HR professional, the opportunities are almost unlimited. But those qualifications include the ability to actually craft HR solutions. So go learn your trade, and don't be afraid to break a sweat and get your hands dirty doing it.

Scobee J Todd DMD Dentist
Phone: (859) 745-3027
Address: 5059 Colby Road
Winchester, KY 40391-9556
Services Provided: Dentists
Choosing a dentist in Winchester is not a fun task. Even though dental work is no fun, choosing the right dentist will make it better. There are lots of options in terms of choosing a dentist, and choosing the best one can have a major impact on your experience. Over the following paragraphs we'll take a look at how to choose the appropriate dentist.
Experience is the first thing you need to look for in a dentist. There are a lot of unskilled dentists and low quality dental offices. While you can find some good young dentists, it is much better to discover a dental professional that has at least 5 years of competent experience. This is especially true if you are getting any big dental work done such as root canals or bridges.
Ask your friends and family for any suggestions they may have. Usually when individuals find a good dentist or other service professional, they are going to become repeat customers. You may also research possible dentists to get a good idea of their practice. This is effective particularly if you cannot get any referrals. It may be worth looking into if you discover one who has a lot of good reviews.
Some things to take into consideration are dentists in Winchester who publicize extremely affordable prices. Most of that time period these dentists are interested more in quantity versus quality. In these type of practices you're not going to get a great deal of one on one attention. If they use routine sedation, you might want to avoid them. For young kids this is ok, but for the majority of grown ups being sedated is not necessary for dental work.
Make sure you either visit or call the precise office for more information on their services. By using the recommendations above you will limit the issues you have when it comes time to choose a dentist in zip code 40391.

The United States took a 2-0 lead into Sunday, and Williams needed just 50 minutes to beat Klara Koukalova 6-2, 6-2 and put the Americans into the next round in July, when they will face Italy.
She gave the United States an unbeatable lead in the best-of-five competition. Venus Williams defeated Iveta Benesova 6-3, 6-2 in the last singles, with doubles to follow.
The sisters completed the 5-0 weekend sweep with a 6-0, 6-1 doubles victory in 44 minutes, beating Daja Bedanova and Eva Birnerova.
The sisters joined teammates Meghann Shaughnessy and Alexandra Stevenson in parading the American flag around the Tsongas Arena court after the clinching match.
The Czechs, a match away from elimination, made a last-minute lineup change Sunday against Serena Williams. Koukalova took the court instead of Bedanova, who lost to Venus in 48 minutes Saturday.
"Actually, Venus said she expected that," Serena Williams said. "It doesn't matter."
A day earlier, Serena Williams attributed her slow start to another surprise — she hadn't realized Benesova was left-handed. She won 7-5, 6-1.
The outcome was in stark contrast to last year. U.S. captain Billie Jean King kicked Jennifer Capriati off the team last year for practice violations. That resulted in the team forfeiting the first match against Austria, which won 3-2 in Charlotte, N.C.
"I think the biggest difference definitely is you see that teamwork and chemistry works," U.S. assistant coach Zina Garrison said. "The enthusiasm has been great."
Serena Williams recorded nine aces against Koukalova and was successful on 10 of 13 net approaches.
"I still feel a little rusty on the edges," she said. "My commitment to go to the net was what I've been looking for in the past year or so, but I would still like to make more of a commitment."
King calls Serena "the complete package ... but can you imagine if she starts going to the net more often, too? It can only get better."
Koukalova, ranked No. 73, got word from Czech captain Petra Langrova on Saturday that she would replace Bedanova.
"Serena knows Daja very well, so they change it for surprise," Koukalova said. "She's first in the world, so it's hard to play with her.
The United States has won the Fed Cup a record 17 times and is the favorite this year. The final is in November.
The Williams sisters, who have won six of the past seven singles Grand Slams, had last played in the Fed Cup in the 1999 final, leading the team to the title over Russia.
The U.S. team beat Spain for the 2000 Fed Cup crown but skipped the 2001 final in Madrid because of security concerns after the Sept. 11 attacks. Slovakia defeated Spain to win the Cup last year.
In other World Group matches, it was: Italy 3, Sweden 2; Slovakia 3, Germany 2; Russia 4, Croatia 1; Spain 3, Australia 2; Belgium 5, Austria 0; France 5, Colombia 0; and Slovenia 3, Argentina 2.
The other quarterfinal pairings are: Russia-Slovenia, Spain-France and Belgium-Slovakia.
Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci won the deciding doubles match, allowing Italy to advance in Linkoping, Sweden.
Daniela Hantuchova overcame a 24-hour rain delay and won twice to carry defending champion Slovakia in Ettenheim, Germany.
Anastasia Myskina defeated former French Open champion Iva Majoli 6-2, 7-5 in Moscow to give Russia an unbeatable lead.
Conchita Martinez routed Nicole Pratt 6-0, 6-2 and Magui Serna defeated Alicia Molik 6-4, 6-1 to power the Spaniards in Tarragona, Spain.
Kim Clijsters downed Patricia Wartusch 6-2, 6-2, leading the Belgian team past Austria in Bree, Belgium.
Amelie Mauresmo sent the French into the next round, stopping Colombia's Fabiola Zuluaga 6-4, 6-4 in Andrezieux-Boutheon, France.
Slovenia became the first team to reach the quarters, wrapping up its victory in Pilar, Argentina, on Saturday.

The Ingham County Clerk's Office fielded calls from many polling precincts. Ward One, Precinct seven was one of those precincts. Voters complained about poll-watchers from the liberal organization "Move On PAC."
Poll-watchers are allowed to look at the names on the poll list only if the chairperson of the precinct allows so. Police were called to many sites due to complaints of poll-watchers not obeying all regulations.
The Ingham County Clerk's Office says after the police visited many precincts, there were no other reported disturbances. The city clerk declined to comment on the outcome of these disturbances and the legality of the poll watchers in question.

The campground was great. Cleanest bathroons that I have ever seen! The showers were $1 for 8 minutes, and believe me, 8 minutes was plenty of time to shower. The water was extremely strong. The sites were big, lots of grass. There were hiking trails, a stream runs through it, and there is a pond on site. Two negatives, the WIFI, although free, didn't reach to our site. We went to the office and it was fine. And, no TV. A small word of caution that the road that you need to take to get to the campground, Route 138, is VERY hilly. We were unprepared for the number of hills and white-knuckled it both ways (to and from the campground). If you are hauling a 5th wheel or travel trailer, make sure your holding tanks are completely empty. You don't need the extra weight going up or down the hills! All in all a good campground. Really nice area too. - blgoconnor

360-degree revolving door
Like many legislatures, the Pennsylvania General Assembly has a revolving door for members. When they are defeated or otherwise leave elective office, many representatives and senators often find lucrative positions with the very same private enterprises they dealt with while representing the public on various committees.
Those private enterprises don't welcome all former lawmakers. But for those dismissed politicians, the Capitol's revolving door often rotates a full 360 degrees. Voters might throw out some legislators, but those fallen politicians always are welcomed by their former colleagues.
Two new cases in point:
n Former Rep. Ken Smith, a Lackawanna County Democrat who lost in last year's primary to Rep.-elect Kevin Haggerty, has been hired by the House Democratic Caucus, at $72,000 a year. His job - "member services."
Mr. Smith thus follows his predecessor, former Rep. Fred Belardi, who landed a House staff job after Mr. Smith defeated him in the 2006 Democratic primary. (Mr. Belardi, who had been a member of the Democratic leadership, actually received a 36 percent raise to $112,011.
n Former Rep. Joe Brennan, a Lehigh County Democrat who decided not to seek re-election last year following investigations for alleged driving under the influence and domestic abuse, will serve the caucus in the same capacity as Mr. Smith, at the same salary.
A key factor in Mr. Smith's electoral defeat was his failure to satisfy a series of tax liens and to repay a state small business loan relative to his restaurant business. Enough of his fellow Democrats in the 112th District apparently believed that someone who owed the state government tens of thousands of dollars shouldn't be their state representative, at their expense.
But in Pennsylvania, an incumbent who loses an office just gets a smaller one.

After the buzz from Lil Wayne's Sorry 4 the Wait last week, this week proved to be even more eventful on the mixtape front. Pill dropped The Diagnosis, the DJ Scream-hosted tape which offered tracks like "One of These Days" and the MMG posse cut remix for "Pacman" . Meek Mill's Dream Chasers was slated for a release around now, but just as fast as "Middle Of Da Summer" hit the streets, Meek's mix moved to an August 11th release. In some surprising mixtape news, Chris Brown will be dropping his own Hip Hop-inspired mixtape Boy In Detention. Brown dropped some teasers like "Real Hip Hop Shit 3" and "Real Hip Hop Shit 4" both produced by 9th Wonder.
Chris Brown collaborator Game (see "Pot Of Gold" ) will be dropping a DJ Skee-hosted mixtape Condoms & Candy Coronas prior to the August 23rd release of Game's R.E.D. Album. Whether or not his most recent diss track "Uncle Otis" will be present on the project remains to be seen. Game dropped Purp & Patron and The Hangover last year around the time of the first R.E.D. pushback. Speaking of diss tracks, another possible Movies On Demand 3 track leaked by Consequence, "The Plagurist Society" against Pusha T with hints toward a brewing diss track against Kanye West.
While Cam'ron and Vado have yet to announce a formal release date for the DJ Drama trilogy release Boss Of All Bosses 3, a cover has been produced, bringing it on step closer to release. Other artists in the pipeline with mixtapes coming are Ludacris, Wale, and even Raekwon - all of which are currently untitled.

RUSTON, La. - Louisiana Tech's volleyball squad will continue its four-match home stretch at 7 p.m. Thursday as they face off against the Denver Pioneers in this year's Dig Pink breast cancer awareness match.

Anatomy of a beer fiasco
Why did America's Finest Beer Festival collapse?
From the Del Mar Racetrack to the San Diego History Center, it seems like everyone's throwing a beer festival. And why not? San Diego's craft beers are world renowned. Moreover, organizing a brew-centric bash seems as challenging as cracking open a cold one.
"If we have 10 people show up," said Don Haake, chairman of the upcoming BrewFest Encinitas, "we'll have enough money to pay for everything."
But this formula is not foolproof, as the Rancho San Diego-Jamul Chamber of Commerce learned last week. The chamber planned a mega-festival — three days of beer from 120 breweries, plus music from 21 bands headlined by Blues Traveler — and ended up with a major public relations disaster.
A week after the festival's sudden cancellation, many vendors who had paid $500 for a booth and ticketholders who had plunked down $49 to $175 haven't received refunds. The chamber, although pledging to settle all its debts, has been unable to say how much it owes or when refunds will be issued.
"We did everything right," insisted Valerie Harrison, the chamber's CEO, "everything as right as could be. We're a small outfit that tried to do something big for the community."
For many in the community, though, this fiasco left a bitter taste. San Diego County is awash in beer festivals, but are the right people throwing them for the right reasons?
'They never responded'
On Sept. 9, the 17th annual San Diego Festival of Beer will be held downtown. The county's oldest continuing beer fest, it's run by volunteers (400); gives all proceeds to charity (cancer research and treatment); limits attendance (5,000); and sells tickets for $30 to $40.
Attendees get to enjoy up to 10 four-ounce samples of various beers.
Organizers get to work.
"It takes a team of dedicated volunteers to work on this for an entire year," said Rachel Cano, co-founder of San Diego Professionals Against Cancer, the fest's sponsor.
While beer is donated to this event, other expenses — everything from security to Porta-Potty rentals — costroughly $50,000 a year. The ice bill alone? $1,200. Yet the 2010 festival netted $65,000 for charity.
Brewers often donate beer to good causes, noted Marty Mendiola, president of San Diego Brewers Guild. But in recent years, the number of local festivals has more than doubled — and in some cases, such as America's Finest, only a fraction of the proceeds are slated for charity.
"You almost get to the point where you say, 'No!' " explained Mendiola, who is also Rock Bottom La Jolla's head brewer. "I feel a little bit overwhelmed."
While Rock Bottom La Jolla did not intend to participate in America's Finest Beer Festival, the Gaslamp's Rock Bottom did. When head brewer Jason Stockberger volunteered, the Rancho San Diego-Jamul chamber added "Rock Bottom" to the festival's list of participating breweries.
But then Stockberger called the chamber with questions in early July. No one answered.
He sent several emails. "They never responded," he said.
Pablo Iniguez, an artist who sells handbags, wallets and T-shirts at street fairs, was also enthusiastic about the festival. To reserve a booth, he mailed a $500 check to the chamber. It was cashed on July 6.
Around 5 p.m. on July 21, the evening before the festival's scheduled start, the chamber called to alert him that the festival had been canceled.
That's the last he's heard from the chamber. "I've left messages every day," he said on Thursday, "and no one has responded."
Two problems
Jeffrey Harrison, Valerie's husband and the chamber's president, said they had planned America's Finest since January. The idea, the couple explained, was to do something fun and splashy to draw attention to the little chamber and its 60 to 110 members, most of whom have been battered by the recession. (The Harrisons have been tested, too, filing for bankruptcy in 2009; Jeffrey, a real estate agent, notes that his industry is still reeling.)

|The Non Conformer
The bill increases sentences for drug and sex offenses, reduces the use of conditional sentences such as house arrest, provides harsher penalties on young offenders, and makes it more difficult to get a pardon, reports Bruce Cheadle of the Canadian Press.
Critics said the changes will do nothing for public safety but will cost literally hundreds of millions of dollars from increased prison populations; much of that cost will be borne by provinces and territories rather than Canada's federal government. The changes are also expected to clog the courts, as many offenders will opt for trials rather than agreeing to a plea deal when they're looking at a mandatory minimum sentence.
|CBC News
|Kirk Tousaw, Beyond Prohibition: "This legislation is going to overburden an already troubled court system and will require the provinces to spend millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, jailing nonviolent drug offenders"
New mandatory minimum prison terms for growing as few as six marijuana plants (new mandatory minimum: six months in prison) were internationally criticized in an open letter from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
The letter pointed out that the War On Drugs has been a repeated, dismal failure across the globe -- fueling the very violence and organized crime it is supposed to combat. It warned Harper against "repeating U.S. mistakes" with the mandatory minimum sentences contained in Bill C-10.
"We are looking at bankrupting the criminal justice and correctional systems in this country," said Kirk Tousaw, the Beyond Prohibition Foundation's executive director and a practicing criminal defense lawyer. "We know that there will be more trials and massively increased spending on incarceration rather than rehabilitation.
"This legislation is going to overburden an already troubled court system and will require the provinces to spend millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions, jailing nonviolent drug offenders," Tousaw said.
The bill was opposed by all opposition parties, the majority of Canadians, and the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, as well as the vast majority of academic researchers -- and, according to End Prohibition, "has catalyzed support against the Conservative crime ideology."
|Jacob Hunter/Google+
|Jacob Hunter, Beyond Prohibition Foundation: "This legislation will put medical marijuana cultivators and compassionate dispensaries at serious risk of long jail sentences"
According to one recent poll, two-thirds of Canadians support legalization or decriminalization of marijuana.
Hundreds of experts have testified against the legislation, pointing out that much harsher mandatory jail terms failed to impact crime rates in the United States and have destroyed the prison systems in many states.
"When you have to let violent offenders out of jail early to make room for marijuana growers, you have a system that is an utter failure," Tousaw said.
"This legislation will put medical marijuana cultivators and compassionate dispensaries at serious risk of long jail sentences," said Jacob Hunter, the Foundation's policy director. "The idea of jailing anyone for helping the sick and dying should be abhorrent to all Canadians.
"So, too, is putting someone in jail for struggling with the disease of addiction, yet Mr. Harper's ideologically driven agenda is going to do exactly that," Hunter said. "This has never been about 'targeting serious organized crime' but, instead, is about creating massive profits for the private-prison industry that Mr. Harper and his cronies seem intent on creating."
"We have seen Harper's ideology play out in the United States over the past 30 years, and it's been a complete and total failure," said Dana Larsen of End Prohibition. "It has not curbed drug use, it has not made streets any safer, and it has cost hundreds of billions of dollars."
"Ontario taxpayers cannot bye expected to pay the full costs for federal anti-crime initiatives," said Ontario Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister Madeleine Meilleur on Monday, reports Tobi Cohen of Postmedia News. The province expects C-10 will cost it more than $1 billion and will result in an additional 1,500 prison inmates, requiring the construction of a 1,000-bed facility to accommodate them.
"We expect Ottawa to do what's right and provide additional funding to help Ontario deal with the consequences of Bill C-10," Meilleur said.
Crime rates in Canada have declined for years, and drug markets there are significantly less violent that than those in the U.S. The Foundation said it believes that is likely to change now.
"One of the tragic ironies of these laws is that they actually make the drug markets more profitable and increase the risk of turf wars," Hunter said. "I expect to see increased prohibition-based violence with no corresponding social benefits."
The Foundation also raised the possibility of legal challenges to the mandatory jail terms.
"This will become a Charter fight now," vowed Tousaw. "The politicians didn't listen to reason but we have hope that the courts will."

Day 1 Results at the Arena Invitational
LONG BEACH, Calif. - Led by wins from Caitlin Leverenz in the 200-yard individual medley and by its 400-yard medley relay, second-ranked California finished the first day of the Arena Invitational on top on Thursday at the Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool. The defending NCAA champion posted 339 points, with San Diego State in second place with 309 points and No 18 Arizona State third with 243 points.
Leverenz - the defending NCAA champion in the 200-yard IM and Olympic bronze medalist in the 200-meter IM - swam a winning time of 1:56.84 in tonight's final. She edged freshman teammate Elizabeth Pelton, who was second with a time of 1:57.11. Both times met the NCAA B qualifying standard. Cal freshman Kelly Naze was eighth in the final with a time of 2:02.07.
In the last women's event of the night at the meet, which includes a men's competition, the Cal quartet of junior Cindy Tran, Leverenz, freshman Rachel Bootsma and Pelton beat the ASU relay, 3:37.64-3:39.15.
Cal opened the night of finals by taking fourth place in the 200-yard freestyle relay, with sophomore Kaylin Bing, Bootsma, freshman Rachael Acker and Tran clocking a time of 1:31.99. Sophomore Melanie Klaren notched Cal's best finish in the 500 free, with her time of 4:55.46 placing her eighth.
The Bears did not win the 50-free final, though alumna Liv Jensen did. The school record-holder in the sprint - with a time of 21.48 - Jensen posted a time of 22.52 to win tonight, with Acker taking Cal's best finish of eighth in a time of 23.36.
The three-day Arena Invitational continues with preliminary races on Saturday morning, starting with the 200-medley relay.

Working together to improve our children's financial literacy
Dear Experian,
How can you get your kids to understand credit?
Dear EHA,
You have asked the question all of us would love to have a single, simple answer to, but it's a complex issue that involves parents, schools, teachers and businesses.
Experian is committed to improving our children's financial literacy and supports a number of programs to help both young people and adults better understand credit and other personal financial issues.
One of the things we are very proud of is our relationship with the JumpStart Coalition for Financial Literacy. Experian recently partnered with the JumpStart Coalition to host its First National Financial Literacy Teachers Conference.
In early November, more than 250 elementary, middle school and high school teachers attended the two-day conference in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the conference was to provide financial literacy tools and techniques classroom teachers can use to educate their students about credit and other personal finance subjects.
The tools and information they received will be taken back and shared in their schools and school districts, potentially affecting tens-of-thousands of children.
We also listened to what teachers had to say. They were unanimous in saying that financial education needs to begin in kindergarten and continue through college. They also said that parents must help, but acknowledged that many parents need financial education as much as their children.
As a parent you play a vital role in helping your children understand basic personal finance concepts, including credit. You can start with simple concepts about saving versus spending and wants versus needs. You can talk to them about how to balance a checkbook, and, you can sit down with them and go over your monthly credit card billing statement.
If you have a teenage child, you might consider adding him or her as an authorized user on a one of your credit cards to help establish a credit history. A credit history is a valuable asset. They will need it eventually to buy a car, lease an apartment, get student loans, and take advantage of all the services that a strong credit history helps a person obtain.
But, even as authorized users, it is important that you teach them how to use the account wisely. Let them purchase items on credit for which they must pay with their own funds. That prepares them for having a card in their own name.
Once a year you should check your own credit report. That would be a perfect time to talk with your children about how important good credit management is to their future.
In the end, there is no single, easy answer to helping our children understand credit or personal finance. We all have to work together, and Experian is committed to helping parents and teachers in that effort.
Thanks for asking.
- The "Ask Experian" team

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Eighteen-year-old Calvin Woodland was gunned down late Wednesday night in the parking lot of the Anacostia apartment complex in the 800 block of Barnaby Street, Southeast.
The victim's brother, who is named Calvin Woodland, Jr., tells 9NEWS NOW the young man "was shot seven times." Woodland, Jr., is Councilman Jim Graham's Chief of Staff.
Calvin Woodland, Jr., says his brother, who went to Anacostia High School, was a "good boy and was getting ready to start work this week," and he does not know of any reason the victim may have been targeted.
Police say they believe at least two men were involved and that robbery may have been the motive. Some reports indicate a masked man was seen removing items from the victim as he lay bleeding and fatally shot. At this point, no suspects are in custody. A $25,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
The victim's father is the late Calvin Woodland, Sr., an Anacostia civic leader who spent three decades working on behalf of troubled youth.
"He was a legend in this neighborhood" said a resident who asked that his name not be used.
Calvin Woodland, Sr., a former boxer who died of a heart attack in 2000, established youth sports leagues and after school programs in Anacostia. He worked hard to curb violence and drug dealing in the neighborhood with a mixture of tough love.
In fact, the 2500 block of Henderson Street, Southeast, was renamed Calvin Woodland, Sr. Place by the DC in 2008 to honor Woodland Sr.'s efforts. A foundation carrying his name has continued to work on behalf of Anacostia youngsters.
Over a hundred friends and neighbors of the victim, nicknamed "Little Pouda" by his late father, held an emotional and tearful vigil at the murder scene.

A real threat
I commend you for addressing the issue of germ warfare ("Back to the future," June 2). As a physician who attended the Second National Symposium on Medical and Public Health Response to Bioterrorism last November, I consider biological weapons and in particular smallpox to be the greatest threat to health that our planet currently faces. I suspect that few in the public health community who celebrated the eradication of smallpox over two decades ago realized the potential for terrorists to reintroduce it into an unprotected population a generation later. Given that experts believe there to be a high likelihood of this occurring in this decade, and given the shortage of vaccines and treatment, I believe that we as Christians should address how we might prepare for this horrible yet real threat. - Robert S. Berry, Greeneville, Tenn.
The price of peace
Tears filled my eyes as I pictured the men trying to take Omaha Beach and the price they paid ("We must remember," June 2). I worry that a growing proportion of our youth lack a reference point for these experiences. I served in Vietnam, but my children (10, 12, 14, and 15) cannot really comprehend the costs on the families of that generation of soldiers, let alone the effect of World War II on families. It seems more than ironic that liberty with peace requires such a price in blood and violence. - Sieg Brauer, Kearney, Neb.
Someone remembers
Thank you to Mindy Belz for "We must remember," and thank God for the couple from Caen who decorates soldiers' graves at Normandy. - Roger Hudgins, Ponca City, Okla.
Gospel burlesque?
My wife and I were sincerely disappointed by "All things to all men" (June 2). Must people who name the name of Christ digress to a lower moral common denominator in society? Must we attempt to promote the gospel in a form of burlesque on stage? - Douglas F. Swope, Port Orchard, Wash.
Has-fled TV
Gene Edward Veith hits the nail right on the head in observing that when grownups have the same cultural tastes as children, "both demographics are in big trouble" ("Must-flee TV," June 2). I have an antenna that gets local channels only. Why pay $30/month and up for cable or satellite service to pipe trash into my living room? That's money better spent on good books and on my subscription to WORLD. - Bryan Cass, Charlotte, Vt.
Parental warning
"Must-flee TV" reminded me that America does not face a problem with rebellious and irresponsible children so much as it faces a problem with rebellious and irresponsible parents. - Eric Blievernicht, Terre Haute, Ind.
Opposite of sleaze
I had the same impression of New York City as Joel Belz ("The apple's polished," June 2). This spring my daughter was on a college choir tour and I met her there (no way, I thought, was I going to let her visit NYC with 60 college kids as companions). It had been 25 years since my last visit and I was pleasantly surprised. We stayed in a hotel in the theater district near 42nd Street, and spent three days walking our legs off all over the city. I'd expected dirt, sleaze, and crime, but found quite the opposite. - Adrienne McLaughlin, Sarasota, Fla.
Sen. Jeffords single-handedly handed over the chairmanships of the Senate committees to the Democrats. No self-respecting Republican owes him the time of day. - N. Costanzo, Bristolville, Ohio
Definitely hostile
The ACLU's challenges to student prayers at high-school graduation ceremonies are hostile to creedal faith ("Neutral or hostile?" June 2). Any talk of neutrality is rank hypocrisy. - Lawrence Andrade, Swampscott, Mass.
Sacred mouse?
We were disappointed in your review of Shrek ("DreamWorks' nightmare," June 2). Yes, there was potty humor galore, and I would have left out some of the one-liners, but I was glad that the princess made the choice she did. Regarding your comment that the movie takes "potshots at classic Disney moments," when did Disney become a sacred cow? - Amy Giannini, Zumbrota, Minn.
Lighten up
Except for the crude bathroom humor in Shrek, I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard for so long at any movie. I realize that humor is like beauty and in the eye of the beholder, but lighten up a little. The references to the old Disney flicks were part of what made this movie wonderful. Being far from "clunky," I found it to be witty and extremely entertaining. - Randy Evers, Harrisonville, Mo.
Rather biblical
We wondered why the review did not mention the message in Shrek that beauty is not what's seen on the outside but what's on the inside of a person, or how Shrek's love for the princess released her from the curse of being forced to live as something other than her true nature. We see nothing wrong with these kinds of themes coming out of Hollywood; they seem rather biblical to us. - Douglas Johnson, Zionsville, Ind.
Seems unlikely
Were the unnamed liberals attacking Attorney General John Ashcroft for holding a voluntary Bible study on government property also shouting and complaining of the same injustice when the president of the United States, William Clinton, was having oral sex in the Oval Office ("Ashcroft rapped for staff prayers," May 26)? - Jane K. Lord, Perris, Calif.
Party animals
Your May 19 cover regarding Senate gridlock over judicial nominees sums up what's going on in Washington ("Red light district"). When will the politicians who profess to be Christians start voting in allegiance to God rather than looking for the applause of their party? - Marion Piester, Germantown, N.Y.
Lewis lovers
"Love and chocolate" (May 26) by Andree Seu touched my heart and comforted my soul. We also owe a great debt to C.S. Lewis; our children and now our grandchildren never grow tired of The Chronicles of Narnia. - Delores K. Seward, Bergen, N.Y.
Driving dangerously
Marvin Olasky's column on traveling by car brought back many childhood memories of cross-country trips taken to visit relatives in Idaho and Washington ("Simple pleasures," May 12). Who would relinquish their first view of the Rocky Mountains? I remember straining to see if I would be the first one to catch sight of the foothills as we traveled across the plains. My Dad liked to live dangerously, so we wouldn't make hotel reservations; we would just see how far we could drive and then hope we could find a room. This worked, usually. - Arlene Hardman, Peru, Ill.
As a homeschool student, I was appalled at the liberal, humanistic ideology being pushed in some public schools ("Daze of diversity," May 26). I am praying for America's students my age who are only being given one viewpoint. - Brent Shirley, 15, De Ridder, La.
What insight J.D. Wetterling showed in "Mom's place" and "War is hell, but it's not forever" in the May 12 issue. - Howard Tull, Slidell, La.
Stay together
Regarding the article about graduated driver's licenses, I think it is high time people realized that barely 16-year-old teens should not be allowed so much driving freedom so suddenly ("Not so fast," May 5). I am looking forward to driving, too, but I would rather stay in one piece. - Rachel Marie Blum, Thornton, Colo.
The promised land
After years of wandering in the wilderness of liberal, humanistic garbage masquerading as news, I discovered WORLD. I had given up hope that there could be a periodical such as yours. My wife had been getting it for a few months, and one day I picked it up and read it through. The perspective was Christian and the writing precise, highly informative, clever, and thoroughly entertaining. - Ken Demster, Idstein/Niederaufoff, Germany
Chip Duncan is the producer of a C.S. Lewis documentary scheduled to be shown on Chicago PBS affiliate WTTW at the end of 2001 (June 16, p. 34). - The Editors

Does anyone know if there's a schedule of which performers are at the boardwalk? we never seem to be able to see them only hear about them from other people
Does anyone know if there's a schedule of which performers are at the boardwalk? we never seem to be able to see them only hear about them from other people
I honestly don't know of a schedule, I only know that we see them at the evening. Usually at or around 7:00 and onwards, or so.
If you were on the boardwalk between 6:00 and 9:00 pm you'd be most likely to see them.
I know they are often out and around when the Illuminations crowd passes through.
I've never seen one--although that certainly doesn't mean there isn't one!
I think most of them are out in the evening. I haven't seen very many of them.
We've seen a couple of different jugglers and a magician. The same guys were performing at DTDM during the Christmas period.
FLORIDA VIDEOS HERE.... https://www.youtube.com/user/isafari...?feature=watch
They'll have sax players sometimes too. They are the same ones who are in MK. And if you are very lucky you will see the Dixie Land Jazz players. :9: They aren't around often, so when they are it's well worth the time to stop and listen to them.
The rolling piano player is almost always there. Musicale Mark, I believe.
There is the sword swallower or balancer or whatever it is he actually does. He has a heavy eastern European accent (if that helps you to identify to whom I am referring).
The acts ebb and flow and some are regulars and some are not. Never too sure exactly how it's planned. Once the Boardwalk Buskers left, things changed up and haven't been the same...
That makes sense then. I thought they had been more scarce. I'm sure they used to be around more often. But that was ages ago.
Thanks for the info Johnie.

Nicolas Cage made an appearance at SXSW today for an hour-long discussion moderated by his "Joe" writer-director David Gordon Green, and as expected from an actor as idiosyncratic as the Oscar-winner, the talk didn't disappoint.
We'll be publishing a full run-down of the lively event shortly, but wanted to share this quote first. In it, Cage rails eloquently about why it "sucks to be famous right now," and how film criticism is negatively affected by our society's fixation with celebrities.
Below is the full quote from Cage:
I started acting because I wanted to be James Dean. I saw him in "Rebel Without a Cause," "East of Eden." Nothing affected me -- no rock song, no classical music -- the way Dean affected in "Eden." It blew my mind. I was like, "That's what I want to do." This was before everyone had a thing called a Smartphone, and before the advent of the "celebutard" -- just being famous for famous' sake. I'm not complaining, but it really sucks to be famous right now.
Now even the art of film criticism... now in the LA Times, the critic who reviewed "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," incorporated how many homes I bought or sold into the review. What the hell does Lindsay Lohan's personal life have to do with her performance in "The Canyons"? It should always be about the work itself. What difference does it make if Bill Clinton had an affair -- how does that affect his performance as President?
In my opinion, I don't want to see personal aspects of someone's life eclipse the work itself.

Comments about 'Catholics reflect on 50th anniversary of Vatican II'

Vatican II freed up the Church hierarchy in the U.S. to act as liberal reformers
as many of them did. They in turn played a role in the elevation to the papacy
of the first non-Italian in over four centuries. John Paul II in turn
paradoxically became a populist Pope who selected conservative bishops. It was
almost as though the Church was having second thoughts about Vatican II or at
least certain aspects of it.
In trying to bring the Catholic Church into current times, Vatican II has come full circle opening up a breach between the hierarchy and the laity. Nowhere is that more evident than in the American Catholic Church.
