Kenner — The Kenner City Council has nominated three prominent city residents to replace outgoing New Orleans Aviation Board member David Campbell, at the same time that city officials are trying to hash out several major issues at the Louis Armstrong International Airport.
On Thursday night, the council unanimously agreed to forward the names of Jules Corona, James Hudson and Todd Murphy to New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu for consideration as Campbell's replacement. The council makes recommendations for Kenner's representative on the nine-member board, but Landrieu has the final say on who assumes the position.
Campbell, who confirmed his resignation Thursday, served on the aviation board for 12 years, with only a brief break for a run at a Kenner City Council seat. He said the position is a time-consuming one, and he wanted to spend more time focusing on his business. He said that after 12 years, maybe it was time for a new perspective.
"It's time for a new voice," Campbell said.
Council members were profuse in their praise of Campbell's dedication to the city's interests, noting that he's always been a strong advocate for what's best for Kenner. That is a serious concern as city officials dicker with airport officials over new guidelines for taxi drivers and how they will affect Kenner taxi cabs. The council and airport recently reached an agreement that extended the deadline for cabs that come to the airport to make equipment changes because Kenner drivers complained they could not find any businesses who could install the equipment. However, that issue is expected to be taken up again next week.
In addition, late last year the New Orleans City Council approved a streamlined process for selling 260 vacant Kenner properties purchased by the airport over the past few decades as part of a noise abatement program. Kenner officials have called those properties crucial to the city's economic development and are developing new zoning guidelines that would allow them to be developed in the best possible way for Kenner. Several council members noted that the council had to make a rapid decision on its nominees to be certain that it had a representative in place when decisions were made.
"None of this is new stuff, new problems," Councilwoman Michele Branigan said. "We want to make certain that we have somebody in place on the aviation board to, if at all possible, move that quickly."
Branigan expressed her support of Hudson's candidacy, although Councilwoman Maria Defrancesch noted that any of the three candidates would be a great representative for Kenner.
"I think we have three great nominees," Defrancesch said. "I think we're going to move very smoothly through this process."
Councilman Greg Carroll noted that whoever the mayor selects must balance two sometimes competing interests when making decisions. Both Kenner and the airport have priorities that they consider paramount, and it's only through cooperation that they can both be successful, he noted.
"It is important that he or she has the personality to be able to work with other individuals and to be able to be able to keep Kenner's interests at hand," Carroll said.
Cooperation and balance were characteristics favored by the candidates for the position as well. Hudson, the executive vice president at Iberia Bank, said it's important to build on the recent improvements at the airport so it can maintain its position as an economic engine. He couldn't identify any particular priorities right now but said he would meet with Kenner Mayor Mike Yenni and council members to get their input.
"I think the airport, obviously, is very critical to our region," Hudson said.
Todd Murphy, the president of the Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, echoed Hudson's assertions about the importance of the airport. Murphy said balancing the needs of the business community and Kenner, while trying to help the airport take its place as a truly international hub, would be his goal. That will be especially true with the planned expansion of the facility.
"I think the airport is critical to the continued growth of our region," Murphy said.
Corona is a retired airline executive who spent four decades in the industry. He said the plans for a new runway and the handling of the noise abatement properties are major issues that will take a deft hand, and a commitment to transparency and integrity. The airport is central to Kenner's vitality, he said.
"It's in Kenner, so it's near and dear to everything we try to do in the city," Corona said. "There's lots of things to be done."

Over the years I kept running into the work of Grosz. He seems to have captured that Nazi gene that exists in too many people. Its that look of arrogance of power. And its brutality. I saw some of this influence in the early work of John Lennon.

Intact Artifacts Found in Byzantine Garbage Pit
Wednesday, August 07, 2013
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL—As excavations continue at the agricultural hinterlands of the ancient city of Apollonia-Arsuf, archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority and Tel Aviv University have unearthed a large garbage pit containing intact objects. "In the midst of the many sherds that were discovered in the big refuse pit was a large amount of usable artifacts, whose presence in the pit raises questions. Among other things, more than four hundred coins were found which are mostly Byzantine, including one gold coin, as well as two hundred whole and intact Samaritan lamps, among them lamps that were never used, rings and gold jewelry," said Oren Tal of Tel Aviv University and Moshe Ajami of the Israel Antiquities Authority.

Having been in a couple of motorcycle crashes, I'm convinced the second safest place is in front of you, to one side or the other of "Capt. Happy And His Two Crew". Basically in front of your pelvic bone.
There are no really fragile organs there - there's the femoral artery and some colon/intestine but both are very tough compared to the kidney, spleen and liver. The pelvic bone is ridiculously tough and even if it breaks, it tends to heal up OK. You also tend to "fold forward" around your waist.
This means either front-crossdraw open-carry, or a fanny pack. The latter carried this way is a great choice for bikers in my opinion.
If you're going to do a shoulder holster, left side is better because it's not over your liver, one of the delicate organs...
The ABSOLUTE safest rig puts the gun in a pack that drops down from the belt and straps to your thigh, on TOP of the main thigh bone. That is one hell of a tough bone. I slammed mine into a steel stop sign post at 25mph while flying sideways one time, hurt like you would NOT believe the next day (literally couldn't walk) but the bone held. If that won't break it, I have no idea what will
I'm considering modifying my fanny pack for that sort of carry. It's somewhat oddball, but...it can be made to work and gun access is decent both sitting and standing.

Niman Ranch and Whole Foods Market® have been working together for almost 15 years and we've developed a great partnership.
In mid-February, Whole Foods Market and Niman Ranch came together to work on a new program called Niman East, supplying pork products to our Mid-Atlantic stores from a small group of East coast farmers.
Typically Niman Ranch farmers are from the midwest, but over the years we've been contacted by East coast farmers who want to work with us. We thought it would be a great opportunity to bring together farmers in Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland and Delaware and create a small program exclusively for Whole Foods Market.
Our Niman East Program consists of a small group of about 20 farmers from the area. Plus, Niman Ranch's CEO, Jeff Swain, is originally from Pennsylvania so he had an avid interest in making this work!" says Lori Lyon of Niman Ranch. Jason Belleau, our Regional Meat Coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic, shares, "The Niman East Program is something we were very eager to support here.
Niman is a leader in the pork industry, supplying us with great-tasting, locally sourced pork raised on small family farms." In addition to the pigs being raised on the East coast, they're processed in the same area, at a small plant in Souderton, PA.
To be part of the Niman East Program and to meet Whole Foods Market's requirements, each farm is inspected by a third-party certifier to the Global Animal Partnership's 5-Step Welfare Rating Program.
No pigs at Whole Foods Market have been raised in farrowing or gestation crates. Plus the pigs are raised with no antibiotics, and are never given growth hormones* or animal by-products in their feed.
*Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in raising pork
Not only is it gratifying to be able to buy meat from local sources, it has also kept this group of farmers doing what they love to do – farming! For some farmers, the Niman East Program has helped them stay on their farms and given them the opportunity to grow their business.

Facebook Adding Reporting, Password Features to Mobile
Facebook on Monday starting rolling out two privacy features to its mobile app, including the ability to re-set a password and notify others about bullying.
In conjunction with the March White House Conference on Bullying Prevention, Facebook added a "social reporting" tool that allows users to ask someone to remove an offensive item or notify someone they trust if they are the victim of bullying or online harassment. When reporting a photo of yourself you consider objectionable, there is now the option to select "I don't like this photo" or "This photo is harassing or bullying me."
In a blog post, Facebook engineer Dan Muriello said the response to "social reporting" has been "great," and almost 70 percent of reported photos have been removed by the owner. This week, Facebook started testing the feature on its mobile app and it will be added to all mobile devices "over the coming months," Muriello said.
The social-networking site is also testing the ability for people to change their passwords on a mobile device.
"You can now choose the email address where you want to receive recovery links, and we are offering additional ways to confirm your identity. We will roll this out slowly to gather feedback from people as they use this," Muriello wrote.
"As more people use mobile devices, we want all of our security tools available everywhere you use Facebook," he said.
In May, Facebook announced a two-factor authentication system whereby the social-networking site required users to enter a code they receive via text message. The system, dubbed Login Approvals, prevented users from signing in unless they could provide that code and authenticate their device. In October, the company added a security feature that provided users with a temporary password for use on public computers.

The syntax for identifiers is relatively simple (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-syntax-lexical.html# SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS), so I _don't_ need to worry about quoting all that much, just checking for invalid characters.

Saying so long to the Empire State's high taxes, stagnant economy and problematic schools isn't just for rich white folks anymore.
A New York Times story underscores what was suggested in both last year's raw Census numbers and a poll of young people in the state last month — and which has been anecdotally obvious for years.
That is, the reason the city's population barely grew over the last decade is that many longtime residents — particularly from the black community — have decamped for more economically favorable climes.
As the Times reports, about 17 percent of the African-Americans who headed to Atlanta and other southern destinations over the last decade came from New York — the most of any state.
Of 44,474 who left the state in 2009 alone, more than half went to the South, drawn to Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia. It's inter-generational, too, with younger African-Americans opting to raise families in Atlanta rather than middle-class black enclaves in, say, Queens.
In other words, these New Yorkers are making some of the same decisions that their white counterparts have been making for decades — and are continuing to make.
In May, a NY1/YNN-Marist survey found that 36 percent of residents under 30 — and a quarter of all New Yorkers — are planning to leave New York state, the vast majority citing taxes, living costs or a lack of job opportunities.
Perhaps not all black New Yorkers are leaving for those exact same reasons. Many have familial connections to the South going back decades, extending to the mid-20th-century Great Migration that sent blacks fleeing Jim Crow to jobs in the North.
But, as the Times notes, now the South is being seen as more inviting in terms of job opportunities and a generally less expensive place in which to live.
One can only hope that Gov. Cuomo — who saw the importance of passing a no-tax-hike budget this year — figures out how to overcome his biggest challenge.
After decades of poor decisions by his predecessors, too many New Yorkers no longer believe their state offers real economic opportunity.
So they leave. Who's to blame them?

I understand what you are saying, & that these "trainers" are in business... I just feel that in both the classes I attended there were more than one person in each class, had I been the instructor, that I would have offered a free re-test, after they received more range time...
BTW... in the 1st class, we didn't go into enough detail the damages you could incur if you accidentally shot someone, & to just pass people that can't hit a man size target more than once in 20 rounds, with only the "stress" of taking the test, how would those same perform if trying to defend their lives, & if they fired a magazine full of ammo, where did those bullets go, if not into the target...
I have another buddy that's looking to re-new, & he just talked to the guy, "said bring 20 rounds, doesn't matter what gun you bring, doesn't matter if you hit the target, just how you handle the gun"... to me, that sounds like gun safety class... not CCW class ??? BTW #2... this is a different trainer than either of the two I've used, so I'm getting the impression, that is the norm
In life you either make dust or eat dust...

Neomycin Topical
Why is Neomycin prescribed?
Neomycin, an antibiotic, is used to prevent or treat skin infections caused by bacteria. It is not effective against fungal or viral infections.
Neomycin is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor for more information.
How should Neomycin be used?
Neomycin comes in cream and ointment that is applied to the skin. Neomycin usually is used one to three times a day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor to explain any part you do not understand. Use neomycin exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Thoroughly clean the infected area, allow it to dry, and then gently rub the medication in until most of it disappears. Use just enough medication to cover the affected area. You should wash your hands after applying the medication.
Do not apply neomycin to a child's diaper area, especially if the skin is raw, unless directed to do so by a doctor. If you are directed to apply neomycin to a child's diaper area, do not use tightly fitting diapers or plastic pants. They can increase the absorption of the drug, which can cause harmful effects.
Apply only small amounts of neomycin to scrapes, cuts, burns, sores, and wounds, and do not apply it more frequently than directed. Neomycin can be absorbed into the body through broken skin and cause kidney problems and hearing difficulty.
What special precautions to follow?
Before using neomycin,
- inform your doctor if you are allergic to neomycin or any other drugs.
- inform your doctor what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, including vitamins.
- inform your doctor if you have or have ever had kidney disease.
- inform your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while using neomycin, call your doctor.
What to do if I forget a dose?
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What side effects can Neomycin cause?
Neomycin may cause side effects. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
hearing difficulty
decreased urination
In case of overdose, consult your doctor. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, consult local medical emergency services.
What other information to know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to Neomycin.
Do not let anyone else use your medication. If you still have symptoms and need further treatment, consult your doctor.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Johannesburg is a booming, happening city and the emphasis is on making money - whether in business or on the streets - and has been since its beginnings when the world's richest gold fields were discovered in Johannesburg during the 1880s.
To the first-time visitor Johannesburg, or Jozi as it's more commonly known, can be a little daunting, more so because of the misrepresentation by the media of Johannesburg as something of a war zone. There is crime; you do need to keep your wits about you, but once bitten by the vibe of Jozi, you're going to want to come back again.
The Johannesburg inner city, abandoned by an exodus of big business that transferred to Sandton and, until recently, avoided by all except die-hard tourists, is undergoing a complete regeneration. The area close to City Hall and Newtown Cultural Precinct, which has completely transformed the Market Theatre and surrounds, now forms the heart of urban revival, and the Johannesburg inner city remains the largest employment centre in South Africa.
But it's the sprawl of the leafy northern suburbs - there are over six million trees in Johannesburg - that draws the visitor: buzzing, trendy suburbs like Parktown and Norwood, with their restaurant-lined avenues that cater for the dining and décor set; the high street of Greenside that so easily dons the mantle of hip chic; fashionable Melville (forget venturing a little further to Yeoville - Jozi's Greenwich Village it might have been but not any longer), and the sprawling malls of Sandton, all combine to make the city a great place to be.
Though not touted as an outdoor city, there are, nevertheless, a number of parks and nature reserves, like Emmarentia Dam and the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden, that are worth a visit. The Magaliesberg is just on your doorstep, and you're extremely well placed for adventures a little further afield, like the Kruger National Park and the game parks of the Lowveld.

Showdown Nears on Stimulus Bill
Thursday, January 31, 2008
With bipartisan support, the Senate Finance Committee yesterday approved a $157 billion economic stimulus plan that rivals the measure fashioned by President Bush and House leaders, setting up a Senate showdown today that could determine who will receive rebates from the federal government and how quickly the checks will arrive.
The Bush administration and House leaders had hoped the Senate would simply accept the stimulus plan approved by the House on Tuesday, ensuring final passage this week and the mailing of the first checks by May. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will try today to block the Senate from adopting the Finance Committee plan and force the passage of the House bill instead.
That effort received a blow yesterday when Sen. Charles E. Grassley (Iowa), the influential ranking Republican on the Finance Committee, threw his weight behind the Senate alternative. Finance Committee Republicans Olympia J. Snowe (Maine) and Gordon Smith (Ore.) also backed the bill.
"Concern with timing must be weighed against the question of the quality of the House bill," he said, singling out that plan's failure to include as many as 20 million retirees in the tax payment plan.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) is counting on Democrats to stay unified behind their leadership, and said that if enough Republicans join Grassley, a threatened filibuster by McConnell would be broken and the House and Senate would be forced into negotiations on a final stimulus bill.
But with only three Republicans on the Finance Committee voting for the package, and Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) absent, Baucus's ability to round up 60 votes to thwart a filibuster is far from certain.
Senators added provisions to the Finance Committee bill to make a "no" vote on the Senate version very difficult, offering federal stimulus checks to 20 million low-income seniors and 250,000 disabled veterans who would be ineligible under the compromise worked out by Bush and House leaders. Senators also tightened wording in the House bill to make it more difficult for illegal immigrants to claim a check.
After the Finance Committee vote, AARP launched a lobbying push to win passage of the Senate version. Advocates of the Senate bill said House-Senate talks should take a few days.
The Senate Finance Committee bill would send checks to virtually every American. Individuals would receive $500 -- for couples, it would be $1,000 -- plus $300 per child. Workers who can show $3,000 in earned income last year -- or seniors who had $3,000 in Social Security benefits -- would also qualify, even if they earned too little to pay income taxes.
After a revolt among Senate Democrats, Baucus added income caps on eligibility that he had initially rejected, but they are considerably more generous than the ones imposed by the House. Rather than capping eligibility for the full check at $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for couples, the new bill phases out eligibility at $150,000 for individuals and $300,000 for couples. The committee also said no member of Congress would qualify.
The Senate bill extends unemployment benefits by 13 weeks, includes tax incentives for business investment similar to the House's and allows businesses more generous tax write-offs for their losses.
It adds $5.5 billion worth of tax-credit extensions for wind, solar and other alternative energy sources, as well as incentives for homeowners to make their homes more energy efficient. The committee also accepted an amendment to allow states to offer tax-free mortgage bonds for the ailing housing market.

I am replacing a vanity in a house I purchased a year ago. The new vanity is smaller then the one I have removed. There was no tile under the old vanity. Is there some form of platform I could have made to place on top of the space and then put the vanity on?
Vanity is black cabinetry with white top.
There will be some movement you have to raise the entire vanity. I assume you mean that when you put the new top in you find a gap between the vanity top and the tile backsplash. If it is less then 1/4" than you should just caulk it. If it is more then 1/4" but less then 1/2" then you can use something like a 1/4" paneling installed to the top of the cabinet before the vanity top goes on. you can get panel pieces at your local home improvement store. If the gap is more then 1/2" then someone should have a look. The fix can still be simple but it may take some expertise.
Hi Tina,
The best thing to do would be to try and match the tiles you have down in the bathroom with something new and then place your vanity on top of the tiles. It might take removing a few of the tiles that were previously cut to fit up to the old vanity, but once they are off and you are placing the new tiles up against a factory edge of a tile, you can just install the new tiles. These tiles don't have to match the existing tiles ether. You could put down black tiles to match the vanity, or get creative and find a colour scheme that works for your bathroom. If it works out when the old tiles are removed, your new tiles would look like they were meant to frame in the vanity under it. I have done this on many occasions, with great looking results.
Hope this helps,

For Phil Mastroianni Jr., owning his own business for nearly 40 years has meant long hours, hard work and few extended vacations. However, he wouldn't trade it for anything – he truly loves the industry and working outdoors with customers.
"Whether you're planting or building walls, if your heart's into it, it's a great business," he says.
Nonetheless, the second generation business owner freely admits that finding work-life balance is often a struggle – especially for someone who arrives at work each day promptly at 4:30 a.m. and doesn't leave until 6 or 7 p.m. His demanding schedule also has him working six days a week, with Sunday his only day off.
"To be honest with you, I have a very supportive wife and we've been married for 30 years," says Mastroianni Jr. "She raised three wonderful children and did a great job. That makes it a lot easier, knowing that I've always had her support."
Part of the reason Mastroianni has become so successful is because he is fiercely dedicated to his work and customers and also well-regarded by his employees.
"My father has always done a good job of getting to the office early to get things set up, then working with the guys side by side," says Phil R. Mastroianni, his son and an estimator in the family business. "The crew respects him greatly."
Mastroianni does occasionally take time off during the winter and for long weekend summer vacations. When business is a bit slower during the winter months, he also enjoys traveling to Maine with a group of other landscapers to go snowmobiling.
"We have a good time," he says with a laugh. "It kind of works out well, because we're all in the same business and we all plow snow. Usually, after a snowstorm and everything's been completed and cleaned up, we'll go up there for 3-4 days."
This story is one of three that appeared in Lawn & Landscape's Growing Green e-newsletter. To continue reading about Phil Mastrioanni Corp.'s success:
Roots of labor: While diversifying, customer service and plant health care have remained the core of Phil Mastroianni Corp.'s culture.
Seasonal service: The warm weather has caused changes in lawn care applications.

GBI: Clarkesville Mayor Died of Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound
CLARKESVILLE, Ga. - An autopsy has revealed the official cause of death of the mayor of Clarkesville, Georgia.
Doctor. Terry Greene, 53, died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. He shot himself at his home on Asbury Street Sunday night.
Greene was flown to Atlanta Medical Center after the shooting. Staff at the hospital told FOX 5 he died there a short time later.
Monday morning, GBI agents gathered evidence at Mayor Greene's home and authorities said some sort of "domestic" situation with his wife, Anne Greene, led to the shooting.
Following the shooting, the Clarkesville City Council and City Manager released the following statement:
"We are all devastated by the tragic loss of our Mayor, colleague and friend Dr. Terry Greene. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family... Thank you for the outpouring of prayers and support."
Dr. Greene, a father of four, was first elected to the Clarkesville city council in 1999 after serving four years on the planning and zoning commission. He was first elected mayor in 2005.
"He's been a great mayor for the city," said Clarkesville Police Chief Brad Barrett.
He moved to Clarkesville in 1992 and worked as a physician in private practice in Habersham County since then, specializing in internal medicine. He graduated from UGA and the Medical College of Georgia.
The investigation is ongoing.

The Arizona Wildcats will open College World Series play Friday under the lights at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.
Arizona will face a high-octane Florida State squad at 6 p.m., Tucson time, following UCLA's opener against Stony Brook. Both games will be broadcast live on ESPN2.
Arizona (43-17) advanced to its first College World Series since 2004 with a super regional sweep of St. John's over the weekend.
Florida State (48-15) exploded against Stanford, winning 17-1 and 18-7, to move on to the school's 21st College World Series. The UA will play either UCLA or Stony Brook on Sunday, depending on how it fares against the Seminoles.
Kurt Heyer will start on the mound Friday for Arizona, which is making its 16th CWS appearance.
The ace said the Seminoles are dangerous offensively - they're ranked seventh nationally in on-base percentage (.406) - especially when facing less-sharp pitching.
"Don't leave anything down the middle, because they'll hit it," Heyer said Monday. "If we stick to our game plan, they'll make a lot of ground-ball outs."
Heyer and coach Andy Lopez both watched FSU's clincher Sunday afternoon, but won't delve in the specific scouting reports until today or Wednesday. There won't be any easy games, or opponents, they said.
"This is eight good teams trying to win the national championship," Heyer said. "Hopefully, we're that team."
The Wildcats will leave for Omaha today - and they'll have odd plane-fellows.
UCLA's team will charter a flight in Burbank, Calif., early this afternoon; the plane will stop in Tucson around 3 p.m. and pick up the Wildcats. The two teams are expected to land in Omaha shortly after dinner.
Shared charters are fairly common, especially during the postseason. Arizona and Cal State Fullerton shared a plane in 2004, when both went to Omaha.
Today's flight should be relatively civil: Many of the Wildcats and Bruins grew up together, and Lopez - a UCLA graduate - said he "gets along great" with coach John Savage and athletic director Dan Guerrero.
Rooting interest
The Arizona-Florida State game will have some extra meaning in the Triple-A Tucson Padres' clubhouse. Padres manager Terry Kennedy is a former FSU star catcher, and set-up man Cory Burns is a proud ex-Wildcat.
Kennedy said Sunday night that he and Burns will "both be doing a little bragging, I'm sure. We'll have to place a little side bet on the game."
Burns cheered on UA as he watched Saturday's game from the Padres' clubhouse. Kennedy said he tracks Florida State games and enjoys seeing the Seminoles do well. He talks to FSU coach Mike Martin every once in a while via text.
Inside pitch
• One look at the dimensions, and the Wildcats may feel at home at TD Ameritrade Park. The second-year home of the College World Series has a vast outfield and is tight down the lines, just like Hi Corbett Field.
At 408 feet to center field and 375 feet to the power alleys, the park may play similarly. Add in humidity, which forces down on batted balls, and the Wildcats could be looking at pitcher's duels.
• Lopez said he received 146 text messages following Saturday's win, including notes of congratulations from ex-Wildcats Nick Hundley, Trevor Crowe and Mark Melancon and a pair of big-leaguers - David Eckstein and Mark Ellis - who played for him at Florida.
The coach spent most of Sunday texting them back. He also went to church for the first time in six months.
"Usually, I have to work Sundays," he said.
• Now that they've qualified for the College World Series, the Wildcats will no longer break all team huddles with the word "Omaha." What instead?
"I can't tell you," Lopez said.
Star reporter Daniel Berk contributed to this report.
• Record: 48-15
• Road to Omaha: Florida State beat Stanford twice in last weekend's NCAA super regionals in Tallahassee, Fla. Sunday night's 18-7 win put FSU in its 21st College World Series.
• Coach: Mike Martin (33rd season, 1,721-592-4)
• All-time against Arizona: The Wildcats lead the series 6-5, but the teams haven't played since 1991. That year, the UA took two of three from FSU at Kindall/Sancet Stadium. Arizona and FSU have met five times in the College World Series, including the 1986 national title game. Arizona won 10-2.
• Hottest hitter: Outfielder James Ramsey is hitting .382 with a team-best 13 home runs and 57 RBIs.
• Best pitcher: Left-hander Brandon Leibrandt is 8-2, and leads the Seminoles in ERA (2.58), innings pitched (94 1/3) and strikeouts (78). Opponents are hitting just .233 against Leibrandt, the son of former major-league pitcher Charlie Leibrandt, who won a World Series with the Royals in 1985.
• In the pros: Florida State has produced 61 big-leaguers, including Giants catcher Buster Posey, Diamondbacks shortstop Stephen Drew, former Padres catcher and current Tucson Padres manager Terry Kennedy and two-sport star Deion Sanders.
Up next
• What: College World Series
• Who: Arizona vs. Florida State

The 75th annual Sugar Bowl went just about as expected as the Crimson and White-clad team jumped out to a big first quarter lead and rode their stifling, top ranked defense to a convincing victory over an overmatched opponent. However, it was the crimson of sixth-ranked Utah that shocked the college football world by soundly defeating the heavily favored, fourth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide 31-17 Friday night.
Utah beat Alabama at their own game, jumping out to a big lead in the first quarter and allowing their defense to take over the ball game. Alabama never lead as Utah came out and delivered knock-out punches early and often. After forcing a quick punt by the Tide, Utah's offense came out and spread the field with a quick hitting, no-huddle offense, throwing the ball without conscience en route to 21 points in the first 15 minutes of the ball game. Alabama had allowed just 27 points in the first quarter all season long.
Utah looked like the team from the vaunted SEC; the Utes executed their game plan to perfection, putting their athletes in space on offense and used their speed to beat the Tide defense in the passing game while dominating the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Brian Johnson had plenty of time to throw for his 336 yards and 3 touchdowns while the defense held Alabama – a team that ran for 196 yards per game on the season – to 31 yards rushing on 33 carries. Alabama was behind the chains on seemingly every possession, forced to throw the ball to catch up. Utah's speed on defense was too much for Alabama's depleted front line to handle as the Utes out-flanked the Tide in the rushing game and harassed quarterback John Parker Wilson all night wracking up eight sacks while hitting him virtually every time he dropped back to throw. The pressure of Utah's front helped put the game away early as the pass rush forced Wilson to make a poor throw that was picked off to set up Utah's second score of the ball game.
The victory over Alabama cemented 2008 as the best season in Utah history, finishing with a record 13 wins while defeating four teams ranked in the top-25 when they played and Alabama spent five weeks at the top spot in the polls. The sixth-ranked Utes have a chance to finish the season with their highest final rankings in history as the 2004 Utes finished the season ranked fourth and fifth in the polls.
Game Balls:
Utah: Brian Johnson, Kenape Eliapo. Johnson orchestrated maybe the best performance by a Utah quarterback, shredding the 21st ranked passing defense for 336 yards and 3 touchdowns, both season-highs for the Tide defense. Eliapo returned from injury in rare form as the 303 pound defensive tackle was a major force along Utah's line, recording a tackle for loss and a sack while creating plays for his teammates by clogging the middle for Utah's "undersized" defensive line.
Alabama: Javier Arenas, Glen Coffee. Arenas proved his game-breaking ability as a return man, breaking several tackles on a 73 yard punt return for touchdown that kept the game closer than the final stats would have indicated. Coffee was the Alabama offense, contributing 80 of Alabama's 208 yards and the Tide's only offensive score.

(...I need me a PA/intern…)
By "intern" do you (as in, producers in general) mean unpaid intern? Because I've heard some people say unpaid intern, and others say intern, and I wondered if they were the same, or if some jobs pay and others don't. I don't understand how anyone (as all the great stories tell) moves to L.A. and starts off as an unpaid PA. How could you live in Hollywood without being paid for your work (yes, I mean aside from taking coins out of the penny fountain )?

I had dinner last night with some coworkers, including one of my PT colleagues who works in an outpatient setting. We were discussing our productivity, and started to mention the role no-shows and cancelations have on our daily productivity. I have completed observation hours at a few outpatient clinics, and through my clinicals I have learned that every outpatient clinic tends to handle this aspect of their clientele differently.
So instead of blabbing this week about my thoughts on these topics, I'm hoping I can get some feedback from you. How does your clinic incorporate no-shows and cancelations into your productivity? Ultimately, do these patients impact your overall performance as an employee? Does your clinic have rules set up to prevent this from happening? What do you think about all of this?
The last outpatient place I worked would double book periodically throughout the day to make up for the no shows. As far as the cancelation, the front dest was excellent in scheduling that time almost immediately by bumping someone up. As far as me in the gym I was swamped with too many patients and not enough time to effectively chart. The other thing that I thought worked out well was a group of ortho patients (all knees). This make up for any lost productivity time that I did have in my day. Althought I didn't enjoy the environment towards the end I learned so much that I would have never been exposed to if I didn't take the job.
Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you enjoy reading the blog. Let me know if you have any interesting topics you would like me to discuss here.
It's always interesting to get different perspectives. I think we can all learn a lot from each other which can only help us become better practitioners.
Lisa - Cx's and Ns's will always kill you. In my facility, the rate of the two together runs about 16%. Most managers that set budgets will usually set <10% as a goal, but realistically, over the long haul, 14% is about as good as you can expect. I try to get the front desk to send the calls of pts that want to cancel back to me to see if it's legit. On Ns's, I try to call them within 30 minutes to see if we can reschedule for that day. It's best if the treating PT makes that call instead of the front desk because the PT will know his/her schedule and when would be the best time to squeeze them in. Most of our cx's seem to be due to money - parking, co-pays, etc. Just do the best you can and DON'T take it personally. I do enjoy reading your blog - AL

Brooklyn Comics and Graphic Festival
The irreplaceable Tom Spurgeon has a good, long report from the Brooklyn Comics and Graphic Festival, taking in not just the show but attached events at famous venues such as The Strand bookstore and even a bit of comics store jaunting in the company of Draw & Quarterly's Peggy Burns, including calling on our colleagues in our Manhattan store:
(a nice array of small press comics, pic borrowed from Tom's Comic Reporter blog)
"I hung out with Drawn and Quarterly Associate Publisher Peggy Burns for several hours on Friday; she was visiting stores and I tagged along. We got to meet a couple of really good, thoughtful managers at the Union Square Barnes And Noble and the nearby Forbidden Planet store. Tony Shenton was ensconced at the latter location, working on behalf of his small press clients. I hadn't been to that Forbidden Planet store in ten years, and they looked like they're really jammed for space in what is a reasonably sizable store. Peggy and I also looked at speaker spaces for future D+Q events. I rarely get to see comics people work, even in that kind of relaxed, out-of-the-office way, so I greatly appreciate being invited"

text: What kind of technology company invents a new board game? The cool kind. Paladin Logic just (on March 8th) launched the KickStarter campaign for MemWars. MemWars is a new memory game for ages 11+. MemWars is derived from an innovation – the Macunx structure – developed by Dr. Aaron Ralby of Linguisticator and an old game – "Mark Twain's Memory Builder Game" – developed and patented by Mark Twain in 1885. KickStarter is a crowdfunding platform that funds creative projects (like a new board game). Per KickStarter's website: "… can be anything that you want to create and share with others. It could be a book, a film, a piece of hardware… pretty much anything you dream up can find a home on Kickstarter." We will blog about this currently on-going experience through the website. We have 30 days (i.e. until April 7, 2017 to complete the KickStarter. The gamification of the Macunx makes improving memory enjoyable.

In 2010, employers are stressing the importance of not only being technology savvy, but also media literate.
One of the biggest challenges in media literacy is to locate and evaluate information and recognize and understand the source. The ability to clearly focus on content and ignore the distractions of the media is critical in our world today. Cooperating School Districts of Greater St. Louis is proud to support educators in becoming both technology literate and media literate. In turn, students in St. Louis schools are using media literacy skills to create their own multimedia projects while gaining a better understanding of the media that surround their daily lives. CSD recognizes the importance of media literacy and the role it plays in helping students develop skills including critical thinking, problem solving and story telling. In addition, we are a member of the Gateway Media Literacy Partners (GMLP). Media education, with critical thinking, creative communication, and technology literacy is a key part of a 21st century approach to learning.
