text: Desserts at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen 2013 8 Decadent Desserts We Loved at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen by Nicole Perry 6/15/13 9 Reactions 32 Shares Print 0 21 11 0 0 We often joke that we have a second stomach for dessert, which is fortuitous given the panoply of sweets on offer at Gail Simmons and Johnny Iuzzini's Last Bite Dessert Party at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. As is often the case, it was hard to pick favorites, but somehow we managed the arduous task. Keep reading to see remarkable treats ranging from spot-on perfect pineapple upside-down cake to limoncello-glazed matcha baumkuchen, and much more. Photos: Anna Monette Roberts Strawberry Rhubarb Milkshake What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Johnny Iuzzini's Fountain Shop offered up a variety of retro-leaning treats, but our favorite was the fruity, frothy, and surprisingly light sour cream strawberry rhubarb milkshake. Also notable: a tangy and complex chocolate lactart and a refreshing wild cherry lime phosphate. 1 / 8 Blondies With Tawny Port What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 All of the cookie and port pairings from Dorie Greenspan's Beurre & Sel and Bin 27 tempted, but it was the blondies paired with Taylor Fladgate 10 Year Old Tawny that truly won us over. Chewy, but less so than a typical blondie, these chunky, salty cookies complemented the silky-smooth port perfectly. 2 / 8 Matcha Limoncello Baumkuchen What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're not yet acquainted with the many-layered German spit-roasted cake, now's the time to track down a slice. Glaze offered up a limoncello-glazed matcha version that we won't soon forget thanks to its tender texture and robust, buttery flavor. The strawberry macaron was just the proverbial icing on the cake, though it had that, too — a dollop of vanilla Swiss buttercream. 3 / 8 Macadamia Nut Chocolate Chip Cookies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A chocolate chip cookie might have seemed plain Jane compared to the surrounding sweets, but this macadamia-nut-studded version from Jacques Torres was a game changer. Thin, salty, and just the right combination of crisp and chewy, it was a simple sweet done right. 4 / 8 Meyer Lemon Chiffon Cake What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's hard to choose favorites, but if we had to award best in show, SugarMill Desserts' Meyer lemon and orange chiffon cake would be our pick. Very sweet, but well balanced by a dose of acidity and salt, this ethereally light classic cake was only further enhanced by raspberry sauce and a spiced crumble. 6 / 8 Mixed Berry Tartlets What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kerrygold butter shone in the tender crust of these classic mixed-berry tartlets, once again proving that simple sweets shine when all the components are well executed. 6 / 8 Pineapple Upside-Down Cake What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pineapple upside-down cake is often toothachingly sweet, but not Eight K at the Viceroy's melt-in-your-mouth, ultrabuttery version. The secret ingredient? A solid dose of salt to balance out the sweet pineapple and maraschino cherries. 7 / 8 Candy Buffet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A beautiful candy buffet served as a fitting end — and a sweet parting gift — to a decadent night. Guests filled bags with sweets ranging from malted milk balls to saltwater taffy, hard candies, and Jordan almonds, all in a chic blue and metallic color palette. 8 / 8 0 21 11 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More 2013 AspenAspen Food And WineFood FestivalsDessert 2013 aspen How to Pair Wine With Asparagus and Artichokes 3/17 Top Chef Contestants Offer Advice to the New Class 10/02/13 Food Stars' Secret Chef Crushes, Revealed! 9/09/13 Let Our Favorite Top Chefs Expand Your Foodie Vocabulary 8/18/13 Glean a Grilling Tip (or Two) From the Pros 7/17/13 A Comparative Tasting of the Country's Best Bourbons 6/26/13 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Jessica Nessim, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina
The process of modernization and industrialization initiated in Korea in the sixties transformed the country from being an agrarian - rural society, to constitute itself in a dynamic, urbanized and industrial society. These changes had deep impact in the organization of the Korean family system and structure: Modernization, and its consequent demographic changes, turned the average size of Korean families from 5,6 people in 1960 to 4,2 in 1985 (Palley, H.A., 1992)
This significant change is even more dramatic if we take into account that Confucian traditions were deeply rooted in Korea, and this was a factor that influenced the development of a new family model, in the framework of a modern society. In this context, government policies played a major role in the fertility transition and were a decisive factor regarding the early achieving of modern family figures (Kim Eun – Shil 1997, Kim, Doo-Sub 2005)
Changes in the Korean family system and the remarkable decline in the fertility rate were of course not only caused by the Korean government policies. However, especially during the early years of its implementation, government policies had a great influence, particularly the National Family Planning Program launched in 1962 (which is deeply analyzed in the paper). Also, these policies had a big impact in relating the images of the small families as something associated to modernity, and not as an imposition of the state, but as an internalized desire of the members of society (Kim Eun Shil, 1997).
It should be noted, however, that these policies involved very complex processes, influenced by the changing social and historical conditions and also by the several logics, visions and actors involved. Thus, potential changes in behavior were still constrained by the values that ruled the society (for example, although they were successful in many ways, it could not be said that they have finished, for example, with traditional son preferences and the family estrategization. Despite the changes, the importance of maintaining the family line and son preference is well maintained. This and the fact that young couples seek to have fewer children, generated an imbalance between sexes.
Thus, all these raised again the tensions that arise in the context of a society where traditional orientation retains its influence, while the socio-economic and political changes continue to produce conflict in the dynamics of social structure and family.
The total fertility fell by 40% in Korea in less than 15 years, and the demographic transition, which was completed within a period of twenty years, was taken with a quickness that has no precedents in the world. It is important to take into account that these changes in fertility and reproduction patterns significantly affect gender roles and power relations in society. These issues involve cultural, political, social and even economic aspects. Therefore, they have great significance and are even more important in societies such as the Korean, where the changes happened very fast, and in a context where the roles and logics of intra-family relations influence various aspects of social life.
The changes in family relations took place as a result of negotiations and tensions between traditional values and structures, and the new, more individualistic values introduced by modernity. The Westernization of Korean society that came from the modernization process involved a series of continuities, ruptures and conflicts within a framework where the demands of modernization and the new cultural patterns arose at the same time as a necessity, and as a threat to the traditional aspects of the society.

Demand for healthier building options drives the rediscovery of ceramic tile
Friday, November 4, 2011 2:17 PM EDT
Friday, November 4, 2011 2:17 PM EDT
(ARA) - If you've ever had new carpeting installed in your house and found yourself suffering from a nagging cough for days afterward, you've experienced the effect some home improvement materials can have on your health.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be a significant health concern, according to the
Environmental Protection Agency
. Concentrations of VOCs can be up to 10 times higher indoors than out, and building materials are among the sources of these noxious chemicals, the EPA says.
While VOCs and other home toxins can cause respiratory irritation in healthy people, they can be particularly troublesome to anyone who suffers from asthma or allergies. Many homeowners, striving to minimize the impact of their home improvement or new building projects on the environment and their health, are opting to use less toxic building materials.
One time-tested product at the heart of the healthy building trend is
ceramic tile
. In fact, the
Healthy Building Network
recommends ceramic tile as an alternative to widely used vinyl, one of the biggest generators of VOCs in home environments.
"Healthy design finds a natural partner in ceramic tile," says Patti Fasan, Tile of Spain ceramic tile consultant. "It's a hygienic, multi-use product that is eco-friendly, fire-resistant, slip-resistant and one of the strongest finish materials available."
The experts at Tile of Spain point to the healthful benefits of ceramic tile:
* Cleaner surfaces - Whether you use it on the bathroom floor or the wall of a master bedroom, ceramic tile is cleaner than other traditional surfaces. Because it's an inert material, ceramic tile won't harbor bacteria or other micro-organisms like mold or mildew. You can clean it with hot water; no chemicals or detergents are needed.
* VOC-free - Ceramic tile does not release any VOCs, the most prevalent type of indoor irritant.
* Allergy-friendly - Carpet can harbor dust, pet dander and other allergens. Ceramic tile does not, making it a more healthful alternative for people who suffer from allergies.
* Less places for dirt to hide - New, larger format tiles like Keraben's Transit Collection that are 33 inches by 97 inches, cover more surface area and require less mortar or grout, meaning there are fewer places for dirt and microbes to hide. You can also find grout with antimicrobial properties to help keep this area clean as well.
* Eco-friendly - If your health concerns extend to the environment as well, ceramic tile is an environmentally responsible building material. Clay, water and fire are the basic natural resources needed to create ceramic tile. And tile's durability ensures a longer life cycle, meaning less construction debris in landfills.
* Very versatile - It's now possible to achieve virtually any look with ceramic tile - even the appearance of natural wood. For example, the Contempora Collection by Saloni offers a range of wood-plan looks that create effects ranging from rustic chic to sleek contemporary. This versatility means you can use ceramic tile throughout the home, not just on the bathroom floor or kitchen backsplash.
With demand continuing to grow for more healthful building material alternatives, homeowners are rediscovering ceramic tile, and incorporating it into their home improvement and building projects in new ways. To learn more about ceramic tile, visit

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Barbara A. Mikulski (Both D-MD), made a personal appeal to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers today for it to streamline the permit process for oyster aquaculture. Both during a meeting on Capitol Hill and in a letter, the Senators expressed their support for a General Permit for Maryland waters, which would be used in lieu of individual permits. General Permits are used when a number of similar conditions need to be met and the risk of environmental harm relatively low. If the applicant can satisfy the basic requirements, permitting is faster, more predictable and administratively easier to manage.
"We believe that oyster aquaculture has the potential to yield numerous benefits in the Maryland portions of the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal waters," the Senators said in their letter. "We are now ready to embark upon a new chapter in the oyster restoration effort. We call upon you to meet that challenge by quickly putting in place a General Permit that is flexible enough to accommodate almost all aquaculture operations and streamlined enough to encourage its use. "
The Senators called upon the Corps to develop a "one-stop shop" system that is user-friendly and would allow oyster farmers to go the State to obtain all the permits they would need, including the General Permit from the Corps. Under Governor O'Malley, Maryland is making a concerted effort to promote oyster aquaculture as a sustainable alternative to wild harvesting of oysters from the public waters of the Chesapeake. Virginia has been promoting aquaculture for more than a decade and most of the oyster harvest in Virginia now comes from these licensed operations. They are profitable and allow the state to provide stronger protections to natural oyster reefs, which are recovering.
A copy of the letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers follows:
March 1, 2011
Colonel David Anderson
District Engineer
Baltimore District
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
P.O. Box 1715
Baltimore, Maryland 21203
Dear Colonel Anderson:
Native oysters are a vital part of the Chesapeake ecosystem as well as our economy and our culture. We have been strong supporters of efforts to restore this essential species, and we appreciate the work that the Corps of Engineers has done in this regard.
Oyster aquaculture holds great promise for restoring the fishery while also improving water quality and providing essential habitat for other species. The Corps has proposed an Oyster Aquaculture Regional General Permit and will be accepting public comments until March 15. We encourage the Corps to continue this process with the goal of finalizing the General Permit for use by May 1, 2011. This timing will allow those interested in pursuing a General Permit to do so with sufficient time to begin their operations this growing season. Similarly, we request that the Corps continue to process existing individual permit applications with all deliberate speed with the goal of issuing permits to all current individual applicants by May 1, 2011, provided they meet appropriate conditions.
We believe that oyster aquaculture has the potential to yield numerous benefits in the Maryland portions of the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal waters. We encourage you to move forward with your regulatory process in a speedy but considered fashion. Numerous other Corps Districts have adopted General Permits for oyster aquaculture in other states, including the Norfolk District for the Virginia portions of the Chesapeake. We should be able to take advantage of their experiences to put in place a protective but user friendly permit system in short order.
Over the last decade, the Federal Government has made substantial investments in oyster restoration in the Chesapeake Bay. The Corps led a robust inter-agency, multi-state study of the non-native oyster. That effort culminated in a Record of Decision for the Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. Among the key recommendations was a strong endorsement of using native oysters to achieve the goal of an economically sustainable fishery. To achieve that end, we must have a permitting program that supports a flourishing native oyster aquaculture industry.
Both the Corps and NOAA have spent considerable time and Federal funding in re-building oyster reefs and developing disease-resistant oysters. We are now ready to embark upon a new chapter in the oyster restoration effort. We call upon you to meet that challenge by quickly putting in place a General Permit that is flexible enough to accommodate almost all aquaculture operations and streamlined enough to encourage its use. Permits should be managed primarily through the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, providing oyster farmers with a "one-stop shop" for all their permitting needs.
We look forward to working with you to continue the restoration of this key species and the overall recovery of the Chesapeake Bay. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can provide additional information about this issue or any of the other issues that are important to the mission of the Baltimore District.

But workers at the Secretary of State's office – the agency charged with toting up the vote statewide – will go home two hours before the polls close. And they won't have an official count until Wednesday morning at the earliest.
"It's the norm to rely on the Associated Press, rather than on us, for election-night results," said Emily Thompson, deputy secretary of state.
Polls across the state are open right now, as Alabamians vote on a constitutional amendment that would transfer $437 million from the Alabama Trust Fund to the state General Fund over the next three years. The Alabama Trust Fund is a repository for the state's revenues from fees on oil and gas drilling. The General Fund – one of the state's two budgets – will come up more than $100 million short without the transfer.
Time is of the essence. If the amendment fails, lawmakers will have less than two weeks to find a solution before the Oct. 1 beginning of the fiscal year.
But because the election is a statewide matter, without any federal races on the ballot, the Secretary of State's office doesn't have the federal funding it typically uses to stay open on election night. That means the agency won't post live election results tonight, the way they have done in recent election cycles. Most employees were expected to go home at 5 p.m.
"The law doesn't actually charge us with producing election results on election night," Thompson said.
Election results usually aren't official until they're certified by a public body. That process can take a long time – days or weeks after the initial vote.
But in recent years, Alabama has followed a nationwide trend toward posting preliminary, county-by-county numbers online on the night of the election. Those numbers always come with the caveat that they're not yet certified, yet they stand as the most official set of numbers available on election night.
Without funding for that late-night work, Thompson said, the Secretary of State's office plans to keep one worker on call to answer election questions until the polls close.
Counties will be able to electronically submit their results to the Secretary of State's office tonight, said Julie Sinclair, elections attorney for the agency. But they won't be added up until morning.
Some state officials say they'll rely on the press to tell them who won tonight.
"I'll be looking at the AP's returns," said Derek Trotter, spokesman for Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston. "I've found in past elections that it's the quickest way to get the results."
Thompson noted that state officials have historically relied on AP for same-night results. She said the practice of posting live results on the Secretary of State's website has been done only for two to four years, and she said the agency would like to be able to post live results with every vote.
"We know people like having this, and we'd like to do it more often," she said.
It's not unusual for candidates to rely on media projections on election night. Candidates in statewide and federal races sometimes deliver victory speeches after a projection from the AP – and before election officials complete preliminary results.
But when media projections are wrong, they can be wrong in a major way. Perhaps the most well-known case was in the 2000 presidential race, when some media outlets declared Al Gore the winner in Florida, a swing state – then changed their projections before the night ended.
Gore ultimately lost Florida, and the presidency, to George W. Bush.
But the margin in the Gore-Bush race for Florida was close, and it's still too early to tell how the Alabama amendment vote will pan out.
Polls close at 7 p.m.

I usually write a local history blog, but today I want to write about Thanksgiving.
Here is a poem that I think captures the spirit of the holiday.
Father, whatever of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign will denies,
Accepted at Thy throne, let this
My humble prayer, arise:
Give me a calm and thankful heart,
From every murmur free;
The blessing of Thy grace impart,
And make me live to Thee.
Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine
My life and death attend,
Thy presence through my journey shine,
And crown my journey's end.
Anne Steele, 1760

In a recent study comparing 212 type 1 youngsters with 196 healthy controls, researchers found that 67 percent of the type 1's had at least one skin disorder, as opposed to only 26 percent of the control group.
Based upon their findings, they advised that a dermatologist should be part of the healthcare team of children with type 1 diabetes.

DUBLIN, January 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jnqpps/emrs_and_clinical) has announced the addition of the "EMRs and Clinical Research: Current and Potential Impact" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
In this report, ISR leverages the insights and real-world experiences investigative sites have with electronic medical records (EMRs) and clinical trials. The report examines how sites currently use EMRs for various clinical trial activities and provides recommendations to improve trial efficiency.
Executive Summary:
This report provides the pharmaceutical industry and its service providers with novel insights into the current and future use of electronic medical records (EMRs) by clinical sites for clinical development.
While government incentive programs have driven the adoption of EMRs, ISR has found that investigative sites are still in the early stages of optimizing these technologies to positively impact clinical research, Andrew Schafer, President of ISR explained. ISR's newest report found that just because a medical practice has an EMR system installed, does not mean that they have integrated the system into the clinical research workflow.
The study study highlights significant opportunity for EMR vendors and trial sponsors. ISR surveyed 102 site coordinators and principal investigators with responsibility for clinical research and the analysis allows readers to:

Counties and municipalities in northern Virginia tend to be healthier than their counterparts in the southern part of the state, according to a report released Tuesday.
The report was released by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and University of Wisconsin researchers. It ranks counties by several health factors and other areas such as education, access to health care, and unemployment.
The report declared Fairfax County the healthiest area overall, followed by Arlington and Loudoun, both in northern Virginia; Albemarle, in central Virginia; and York, in eastern Virginia.
"We realize that the health of our community depends on many factors, and we appreciate the role of our many partners including health care providers and all of those who work to provide a positive physical and socioeconomic climate for our citizens," said County Executive Tom Foley. "We also applaud the individual behaviors of our residents whose healthy lifestyle choices add to the positive health outcomes cited in the report."
At the bottom of the list is the city of Petersburg, whose premature death rate was more than double the state average and four times higher than Fairfax County. Petersburg also was last in behaviors such as adult smoking and obesity and physical inactivity, and worst in social and economic factors such as education, unemployment and poverty.
Others among the unhealthiest areas were the city of Emporia, Buchanan County, Dickenson County, and the city of Franklin.
Several new measures in this year's report include how many fast-food restaurants a county has, the levels of physical inactivity among residents, and premature death trends over the previous decade.
Dr. Patrick Remington, associate dean for public health at the Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, said the rankings are "a call to action to take steps to improve the health of communities."
Fairfax, Arlington and Loudoun have filled the top three spots in order in each of the survey's three years.
Fairfax was listed first in the lowest number of premature deaths. Arlington was at the top in terms of health behavior, and the report listed Loudoun as best for social and economic factors.

Detroit >Lodging > St Regis
3071 W Grand Blvd, Detroit, MI | Directions 4820242.370051 -83.074525
Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Neighborhoods: New Center
Avoid La Musique like the plague. WORST short ribs I've ever seen. I couldn't even eat them. The wine was ober 85 degrees when it was poured. The chicken and rice soup tasted like it was out of a can. Horrible service. Even worse food.
Not recommended!! – I stayed at the hotel on a business trip and I will never stay there again. You see the name St. Regis so you expect a high level of service. The in-hotel restaurant service was slow and room service was non-existent - it never showed up despite several calls to the front desk and room service line. The duvet covers in my room were stained -- I don't want to know -- with something. My co-worker found a used prophylactic device in his trashcan when he checked into his room. The staff offered to remove the trashcan and replace it rather than moving him to a different room. He had to demand a new room forcefully before he was able to move. The hot water worked 50% of the time. The staff was nice enough to remind me that I shouldn't walk or take a cab at night which was decent of them.
GREAT RESTAURANT DINING SERVICE IS BACK-HOTEL ST.REGIS – To anyone ,who is going to dine out ,there is a place in Detroit I would highly recommend for them to try the "La Musique" restaurant ,in the St. Regis Hotel.My sisters and I stop by there this past weekend --We were greeted in a kindly manner and the Food we order was exquisted,(we order a Seafood platter ,then Desserts ,that the chef prepare just right for us)even his presentations were ELEGANT-complements to you CHEF Mike -The Manager of the restaurant Craig ,keep checking to make sure everything was just as we order, and it was. His service was so kind ,so pleasant , our waiter Mike, also was hospitalable. This restaurant caters to a mature crowd , as I found out that this was Fashion Week here in Detroit and The St. Regis Hotel hosted this event .To sum it up ,EXCELLENT,there even was a live band that was playing Smooth Jazz -Yes ,Welcome back St. Regis,.and to the staff of the restaurant- My sisters and I will return again and tell others-----KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK-----MRS.GPM
Not Even Opened – I needed to write a review here because the one from July 6, 2007, is obviously a phoney and needed to be corrected. There is no way in heck that anyone stayed in this hotel over the last months because it's been under complete renovation and isn't even opened. For someone to say they stayed there is a complete lie. Most likely it was someone in their management that wanted to try and fool the general public or travellers.
Who knows if it will be a nice hotel when it opens - BUT IT AIN'T EVEN OPEN FOR BUSINESS YET.
Nicest Hotel in Detroit – Recently, I was in Detroit on vacation with my family and we stayed at the Hotel St Regis. We were amazed at the amount renovation that had taken place. We had visited in the past and enjoyed the brunch that they offered, so we returned only to find an even more remarkable luxury hotel. We learned that they had just completed an extensive renovation of the common areas, rooms and their new restaurant "LaMusique". My wife absolutely loved her meal, she had the cajun lobster tail. Our bed was the most enjoyable pillow top that we had ever slept on. We would highly recommend this hotel to any of our friends and relatives who are going to be visiting Detroit. Good Job Hotel St Regis!!
Traditional downtown lodging with warm hospitality and close proximity to Comerica Park. – In Short
This pleasant, old-fashioned hotel attracts travelers seeking reasonable prices and more atmosphere than can be found at your typical chain venue. The pretty building is attached by skywalk to the New Center One Shops. The 223 guest rooms and suites are located on the second through fifth floors. They come with all the basics, such as cable TV with HBO and CNN, coffee makers, data ports and voice mail.
total disappointment – checked into this run down hotel and right off the bat found that the room was not what i had reserved. the staff however did correct this problem and i eventaully settled in. next morning, NO HOT WATER!!!!! staff was informed and assured me that they would look into it (never heard back). i never intend to stay here again.
Great Place! – You might not even know it's there unless you were staying in the Hotel St. Regis or you worked across the street for the State of Michigan.
Beautiful setting and good food and wine available at reasonable prices. Enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and dinner during stay at the hotel and wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

The Tuscaloosa News reported the story first Thursday afternoon.
The report said Harris was found to have had a connection to a representative of a sports agent, but Clinton-Dix had no contact with any agent representatives.
Clinton-Dix, who was suspended indefinitely Wednesday, received a short-term loan from Harris of less than $500 at some point in the summer in violation of NCAA rules. The report also said Clinton-Dix repaid the loan and provided bank statements to Alabama's compliance department to prove it.
Employees are not permitted to provide loans of any sort to student-athletes because it is considered to be an impermissible benefit, per NCAA bylaw 188.8.131.52.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban has not commented on Thursday's report and fielded no questions about it during his weekly radio show Thursday night.
ESPN.com, citing an anonymous source, reported Clinton-Dix is the only player involved and is expected to be eligible to play "within the month."
Dr. David Ridpath, an associated professor of sports administration at Ohio University, told al.com Clinton-Dix's penalty won't last "a long period of time."
"It is certainly a serious issue, and Alabama is acting correctly in how they've addressed it so far," Ridpath told al.com. "I think the fact that he's already paid the money back is probably going to be seen as a mitigating circumstance. I'm just not sure the NCAA has a leg to stand on there in terms of penalizing him for a long period of time."
John Infante, a former compliance official at Loyola Marymount and Colorado State and author of the Bylaw Blog for AthleticScholarships.net, told al.com the situation is similar to two recent infractions cases, one with the coach, Harris, and one with the player Clinton-Dix.
"From the coach's perspective, it sounds like a mini John Blake at (North Carolina)," Infante said.
Blake is a former assistant coach at North Carolina. He was accused of accepting cash from a sports agent and was given a three-year show-cause penalty from the NCAA.
Harris is one of nine assistant strength and conditioning coaches employed by the University of Alabama.
"From Clinton-Dix's perspective, even if the coach is deemed an agent, it is still not that serious of a violation," Infante told al.com. "Marcell Dareus was in line for a four-game suspension before mitigating circumstances and he was found to have received over $2,000 from an agent."
In 2010, Dareus was suspended for two games when he received $1,787.17 worth of improper benefits from an agent. Initially, the suspension was four games, but the NCAA reduced it to two because of "mitigating circumstances." Dareus' situation was resolved by the NCAA in fewer than two months.
Clinton-Dix, a third-year junior, is considered one of the nation's best safeties and is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft.
He ranks second on the team with 24 tackles and also has two pass deflections.
On the field, Saban said sophomores Geno Smith and Landon Collins have worked in Clinton-Dix's position.

I thought I'd pretty well covered the territory in a "musing" I wrote a few years ago called "The Varieties of God", a listing of the many alternatives along the spectrum between traditional theism and atheism.

All of the great mystics and spiritual teachers like Jesus and Buddha were clear……authentic spiritual growth is not something that can be given to us. No one else can do the work for us. We have to discover, and then embrace, the courage required to take the inner journey; to shine the light of our consciousness into the shadows of our egoic mind. This is not a journey for the feint of heart.read more
The power of life that raised Jesus is accessible and available to all people, even those who have not heard of Jesus. The risen Christ, the cosmic Christ who is Lord of all can take many forms and answer to many names.

In between the Cross and Rising,
In between our grief and light,
Lie the tombs of hibernation,
Times of inner healing's might.

Welcome the outcast from the wilderness.
Close your eye and relax.
It's dark. It's silent. You are limp, unmoving.
You were defeated, destroyed, ruined: crucified, dead, then buried.

One of the most reliable facts concerning Jesus is that he was crucified during the reign and by the action of the Roman procurator, Pontius Pilate, who served by appointment of the Caesar from 26-36 CE. The Roman senator and historian Tacitus referred to Jesus' execution by Pilate in his Annals, which was written circa 116 CE. Beyond that, however, there is not much historical evidence.read more
"you who delight me" is in two parts:

like us, a child of God.
Loneliness. Addiction. Hate. Violence. Death.

If Jesus died for anything, he laid down his life like most social prophets and martyrs as a complete and utter refutation and relinquishment of any vestiges of earthly kingdoms. Whatever the subsequent followers of the donkey king would retrospectively make of him, he was regarded by the powers that be as nothing more than a nuisance. As more than one biblical scholar has pointed out, the real significance of Jesus' crucifixion lay in the fact that anyone subsequently noticed and cared about the execution of a nobody. Yet it is the way of a nobody — not a somebody — that has so often altered the way of an otherwise weary world.read more

I got to thinking, who should be returning our kicks in 09?
I say Ginn cause he did well with them minus penalty's in 07.
Happy about 3 points, sigh.... =(
Ginn as long as he really works more on route running, its hard to do both imo.
I personally think its a mistake not to use him

cobbs need more touchess and had some good returns last year
He is a straight runner none of that run around BULL

April 25, 2013
Culpeper Police are looking for a 28-year-old man suspected of abducting and assaulting his girlfriend Wednesday night during a domestic argument at the couple's home.
Police have arrest warrants charging Gilberto Dominguez-Jaimes with felony abduction and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Warrants are also on file charging him with misdemeanor assault and battery of a family member, brandishing a firearm and preventing the victim from using the telephone to call for help.
An officer responded to the domestic call in the 400 block of Wayland Road about 7:45 p.m.
The 25-year-old victim told police that Dominguez-Jaimes began arguing with her while she was preparing dinner. The argument allegedly turned violent. The suspect allegedly pulled a handgun and struck the victim in the head.
The victim was able to break free momentarily and tried to use the phone to call police. He allegedly grabbed the phone from her.
She told police that the fight continued until she was able to flee.
Dominguez-Jaimes drove away in a Volkswagen Passat. He has not been seen since.
The victim was taken to Culpeper Regional Hospital, where she was treated for cuts to her head, lip, arm and hand.
Anyone with information as to the whereabouts of Dominguez-Jaimes should call 911 or anonymously call Crime Solvers at 727-0300.

Takin' the Blog for a Walk
Join Waukesha resident Brien Lee and his blog, Sir Fido, as they explore the city and report on the interesting things they find.
Email Brien at firstname.lastname@example.com.
why me?
I should be happy that I'm even asked an opinion. I usually say "no" but at least I'm asked.
They want a pet, I say no. Then they get one anyway. After years of feeding and cleaning up after them, I realize how lucky we are to have them, and slowly start liking them. Especially Pepi. I really put my foot down when they wanted him, we already had a cat, but I grew to love his warmth, softness and weird idiosyncrasies.
Christ at 10:00, Packers at noon.
There's always something happening at St. William's, my home parish at 440 N. Moreland. Last weekend was the rummage sale. Today we hosted the St. Matthias meal for the needy and tomorrow is blessing of animals in observance of the Feast Day of St. Francis. This Sat. at 6:00 p.m. is wine and cheese and Sunday is a pancake breakfast from 7:30 to noon -- both in the Parish Hall, and both a fundraiser for Cooperating Congregations of Waukesha County's new kitchen.
I'll be helping out in the kitchen Sunday for a couple hours, but may have to miss linking with fellow parishioners for the Life Chain on Bluemound between 2:00 and 3:00.
I agree
My neighbor has been exercising freedom of speech in front of his Grandview Blvd. home for the last year or two. For awhile it was just a small homemade "War is Stupid" sign. But then something started to happen. Smaller signs started popping up beside it with "I agree." A colorful round sign was recently added: a peace symbol someone took time to carefully construct.
As sometimes happens in areas of potential controversy, his yard started to look a little cluttered with opposing viewpoints. One sign even proclaimed "Shame on all of you! We should be supporting our troops and elected officials!"
a weekend so hot it's cool
Oddly enough, the shrill beep of the smoke alarm this morning coincided with the start of fire prevention week. All the fire-related events this weekend made me think about the two out of three alarms we have without batteries. I put a used 9 volt in one of them after it tested OK, but it must not have been strong enough and set the alarm off.
Yesterday I was invited to help out at the Town of Waukesha Fire Department's pancake breakfast by Rod, a hot air balloon pilot. I gladly accepted and helped set up his balloon for a demonstration. We soon began giving free tethered rides to fire fighters, EMTs and families, only stopping when it got too windy. I was glad to be there, lots to see and do, and happy to give back to the community - Rod donated his time and fuel for this fun event.
things I would've blogged about . . .
Things I would've blogged about if I had the time:
I'd vote for him again. Even though I think we're overdue for a woman president, I'd vote for former V.P. and now Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Al Gore, again. I know I've voted strangely in the past, Ed Thompson for one, but Mr. Gore has shown the kind of leadership we need now. It's safe to say the war in Iraq wouldn't have happened had my vote counted instead of the Electoral College's. If Mr. Gore became president I don't think the auto makers and polluters would love him, but after reading his book Earth in the Balance, I think his term would be good one not only our country now, but for the future world also.
I don't know it all
There's more than thirty events related to Big Read Waukesha this month. It's the first time Waukesha has done this community-wide program and I hope it's not the last. I picked up my free book, "Fahrenheit 451" and I've started reading it. I'm checking the program brochure often and attending the events that interest me.
Tonight, the event that interested me was the "So You Think You Know It All?" trivia contest. I arrived in the middle of it and immediately found it entertaining. One adult was pitted against five eigth graders to answer questions from five categories for points. Former mayor Carol Lombardi hosted the contest in similar fashion to the show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" There were four teams of eigth graders but not enough adult volunteers, so I stepped up after watching for a while. I answered all five questions correctly! Not difficult when you consider one question was "Which book is Waukesha reading for the Big Read?"
Missed the last bus to my regular stop Monday evening. The alternate was to wait 20 minutes for the next coach and take it all the way to Downtown Waukesha. Without phone change, I walked to Christina's Family Restaurant on Delafield St. to see if I could call from there.
At Christina's I noticed a free-standing sign on the sidewalk, (a sandwich board?) advertising gyros on a stick. Now my familiarity with gyros is extremely limited, but I thought it was a sandwich and wondered how the stick fits in. Peggy was nice enough to tell me all about the sandwich and George let me use the phone.
Stars shine Saturday night.
It would be easier to mention what I didn't like about our trip to Whitewater Saturday for the State Marching Band Championships. It would take too long to mention everything I did like. I don't have that kind of time.
With both boys at North it made sense that this was to be the year we finally experienced the excitement of the championships. With North winning the mood never dampened.
Sax and the City
Don't go near Shattuck Music Center / Hall / Auditorium this weekend at Carroll College / University if you don't enjoy great music. Besides the wonderful offering this Sunday at 3:00; a combination of the Waukesha Choral Union, Carroll Concert Choir and Children's Choir of Waukesha, there's world-class sax player Johan Stengard on Saturday at 7:00 p.m.
I don't want to recommend one over the other, they both sound great, but the Johan concert is a benefit for the St. Vincent De Paul Society. As you may already know, the Society helps the poor in our area and any proceeds from the concert go to help the needy in Waukesha. As a member of the Society, I know there are plenty of underemployed, injured, homeless, unemployed . . . in the city that could use some help.
state budget
If we made no changes to our lifestyle here at the Lee household, the new state budget will cost us almost $1200.00 more in 2008 than this year. That's a lot of groceries!
How will the new budget affect you?
from 35 to 200
A bit frosty this morning. Thirty-five degrees. The hot air inside the balloon I crewed for this morning reached at least 200 degrees. The white-covered ground set off the colors of the envelope spectacularly. Skies cloudless, the waning almost-full moon shining in the west and the winds calm.
I've been concerned about the hot air season coming to a close before we're through having fun. Now that the beautiful fall colors are here the weather seems to be going through a change, bringing with it too much wind, sometimes rain. Even though you can balloon year round in Wisconsin, I'd bet most people would prefer not to go in winter.

A former FBI agent testifying for John Edwards said Edwards paid his mistress, Rielle Hunter, well after his presidential campaign had ended, supporting the defense contention that Edwards' support for Hunter was based on a personal relationship, not his political fortune. NBC's Lisa Myers reports from Greensboro, N.C.
Updated at 6:55 p.m. ET: John Edwards' defense lawyers said Tuesday they might call both Edwards and Rielle Hunter, his mistress and the mother of his youngest daughter, to the stand Wednesday in his campaign finance corruption trial.
Lisa Myers of NBC News, Stephanie Berzinski of NBC station WXII of Winston-Salem, N.C., and Ben Thompson of NBC station WCNC of Charlotte, N.C. contributed to this report by M. Alex Johnson of msnbc.com. Follow M. Alex Johnson on Twitter and Facebook.
Both have been on the defense's potential witness list from the beginning, as has Edwards' eldest daughter, Cate Edwards Upham. But speculation had swirled around the trial in Greensboro, N.C., that it might be too risky for the defense to call any of them to the stand.
Their names were on an updated list of possible witnesses that Edwards' lawyers gave the judge late Tuesday. Their appearance on the list doesn't mean they'll definitely testify; crafty defense lawyers have been known to list possible witnesses whom they have no intention of calling to throw prosecutors off the trail.
Tuesday, a large crowd gathered at the federal courthouse anticipating Upham's testimony, but a parade of other witnesses pushed her appearance on the stand back a day. She is likely to be one of the first witnesses called Wednesday.
Upham is expected to say that despite the lies and betrayal, her father still cared for her mother, Elizabeth, and was trying to protect the family.
"Taking the stand, talking about her father, how much family mattered — I think it could be powerful evidence for John Edwards," said Hampton Dellinger, a legal analyst for NBC News and msnbc.com.
The focus instead was on the money trail Tuesday, as a longtime friend and former campaign aide testified that Edwards was surprised to learn that billionaire oil heiress "Rachel "Bunny" Mellon had given almost $750,000 to help conceal the affair with Hunter.
Edwards, a former U.S. senator from North Carolina who was the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee, is on trial in U.S. District Court on six felony counts of accepting about $1 million in illegal and unreported campaign donations from Mellon and the late Fred Baron, finance chief for his 2008 presidential campaign.
A major point of the defense argument is that Edwards didn't know what the money from Mellon and Baron was being used for, a contention that was supported Tuesday by John Moylan, who worked in both of Edwards' presidential campaigns.
Moylan testified that Edwards was shocked to learn in August 2008 — several months after the fact — that Mellon had been paying to help support Hunter and keep her from the public eye. The money was given through checks falsely labeled as furniture purchases through Andrew Young, who was once a top aide to Edwards and is now his chief accuser.
Referring to Young as "that damn Andrew," Edwards told Mellon, "Bunny, you should not be sending money to anyone," Moylan testified.
Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards has faced public and private challenges throughout his life and career.
Edwards' lawyers also called former FBI agent Jim Walsh to provide an analysis of Edwards' and Hunter's finances that appeared to show that most of the money from Mellon and Baron stayed in the hands of Young and his wife, while "Rielle Hunter saw little" of it, Dellinger said.
Financial records showed that the Youngs got about $1 million from Baron and Mellon in 2007 and 2008, but tax returns suggested they gave Hunter only $191,000 of it.
Other records showed that rather than deal with Young, Baron paid Hunter through direct deposits into her checking account. That money accounted for $74,000 over seven months.
Other defense witnesses also questioned the credibility of Young, calling him "untrustworthy" and "dishonest."
That could be Edwards' best angle after U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles ruled out a major part of the defense case Monday, saying jurors wouldn't be allowed to hear about a federal audit that concluded that the money for the Hunter operation didn't amount to campaign contributions subject to federal regulation.
Scott Thomas, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, had been ready to testify about the audit of Edwards' 2008 campaign, which found that the contributions were legal. But Eagles ruled that evidence inadmissible because there was no way to determine what FEC auditors knew or were told at the time.
Thomas was allowed to testify Tuesday morning, but only in general terms. He said the commission had never before considered a case like Edwards'.

The Boston metro area is well known as a major hub for tech companies. (And we aren't just saying this because Newsle was founded in Boston.) This might be due to its close proximity to colleges like Harvard and MIT that produce many famous entrepreneurs and CEOs; the city's tech notoriety might also be helped by the multitude of VC firms in the area. These factors have produced some promising tech companies, under the leadership some very well respected up-and-coming business & technology titans. After featuring some of the most newsworthy startup CEOs in Seattle; we thought that Boston deserved to be in the spotlight as well.
Below are some of the most written about tech startup CEOs in Boston:
Seth Priebatsch - Seth, CEO of SCVNGR, has been working hard to position his LevelUp app at the top of the crowded mobile payment space. His most recent change allows users to contribute to a charitable cause via the app. Seth must be doing something right, as LevelUp is close to its one millionth transaction and recently increased its funding to $21 million.
Bettina Hein - In addition to being one of L'Oreal's 2012 USA Women in Digital "NEXT Generation Award" winners, Bettina is the CEO of Pixability, a video marketing company. She recently gave her insight to BostInno about how to make a video go viral. Her take on the issue is that having the goal of going viral often sets you up for failure.
Dave Kerpen – Dave is the CEO of Likeable Media, a social media & word of mouth marketing agency based in Bostin & NYC. He was recently quoted in an article about the presidential candidates' social media presence, (which is a hot topic these days, with Obama's AMA on Reddit and Ryan's post on Quora.) Dave also gave some advice that would come in handy for any recent graduate still looking for work in his Forbes article, "5 Essential Tips To Make Your Social Profiles Resume-Ready."
Brian Halligan – Brian, who coined the term "inbound marketing," is the CEO of HubSpot, a marketing software company. Just two weeks ago, Brian and Co-Founder Dharmesh Shah unveiled Hubspot 3. The pair claimed that the update would feature "Amazon.com-like personalization achievable for the rank-and-file businesses that power our economy."
Vanessa Green – Vanessa, CEO of OnChip, appeared earlier this week at an MIT entrepreneurship event which featured a student accelerator competition, a direct rebuttal to Peter Thiel's announcement that he'd pay students to drop out of college. Vanessa's advice to the student competitors was to "show up and keep showing up. Take advantage of the ecosystem." And congrats to Vanessa, as investors are showing up in support of OnChip: the company recent raised $2.4 million in funding.
Stephanie Kaplan – Stephanie, CEO of Her Campus spoke about the benefits of deferred admission for MBA students in a recent US News article. She was accepted into Harvard's 2+2 program as a senior in college, but not before winning a case competition for her company, Her Campus, which is "a collegiette's guide to life." Stephanie's wisdom extends beyond college, though, shown in her advice on how to encourage innovation without leading to burnout; she claims it's about setting lofty goals and pulling people away from their usual to-do lists.
Who are your favorite Boston-based CEOs? What city would you like to see featured in the next Movers & Shakers?

I am a cosplayer from the Philippines. I love portraying my favorite characters and do my best to make them come to life. And most of all, I enjoy cosplaying with the company of my friends and meet fellow cosplayers who have the same passion.
I enjoy cosplaying series that have wonderful storylines and loveable characters.
