"I get to do so many different things here. One day I will be working with Club Kid doing athletic activities with the kids, the next I will be in a meeting to get advertising at the baseball field," Marcum says.
Crookston, Minnesota (PRWEB) July 19, 2012
Written by U of M, Crookston communications assistant Austin Czichotzki, 2012 graduate in communication, from Barnesville, Minn.
Crookston, Minn. This summer Stacey Marcum, a senior at the University of Minnesota, Crookston, is completing an internship that fits perfectly into her chosen major--communication with a concentration in sports and marketing--as she works with the athletic department on campus. Marcum is a 2009 graduate of Merrill High School in Merrill, Wis.
In her position Marcum is experiencing the wide spectrum of activities taking place in a college athletic department, from working with compliance to events and marketing.
The variety of the job is one of Marcum's favorite things. "I get to do so many different things here. One day I will be working with Club Kid doing athletic activities with the kids, the next I will be in a meeting to get advertising at the baseball field," she explains, "I have also been the communicator between UMC and the company that is printing pocket schedules to be handed out to people at games so they know when the fall athletic events are, and I am making posters to promote athletics. I love it all."
Marcum is one of many students who based their decision on what college to attend on the athletics they are involved in. She came to the U of M, Crookston on a softball scholarship as a freshman and undecided about her major. "I really liked the campus and the softball program, I figured I would take some general classes and figure out my major from there," she explains.
With some classes behind her and some friendships formed, Marcum began talking to students in different majors trying to decide what path to follow. She really liked her communication classes, such as speech and writing, and she loved sports. In her conversations with some students in the communication major she realized a career path with this major was one she was interested in. With an emphasis in communication studies she also saw she could tailor the major to her interests in sports and marketing by choosing 21 credits of classes in this concentration area.
Marcum believes her internship with UMC athletics has been very valuable. It has helped her realize this is the field she loves and where she would like to continue to work. Having been on the softball team for her past three years at UMC, Marcum knew quite a bit about athletics going into the position but has been surprised at how much she has learned, especially in terms of her future career. "In this role I have discovered that working in the college setting is a place I could see myself in the future," she says. "I would love to be an athletic director at a university one day or work in compliance. If I didn't do that, marketing for a professional sports team would also be a dream job." Softball is still and always will be a passion for Marcum, "I would love to coach a softball team at the college level as I work my way up to being athletic director."
For now Marcum is content doing all she can to help UMC athletics grow in the coming years, including working on posters and promotions to help the community become more aware of the athletic events that take place on campus and when they are happening. "As an athlete, and now working with the athletic department, I know how important support from the campus and the community is, so come watch us!" she laughs.

No way. Boozer alone is better than anybody the Hornets have. New Orleans has a pretty good roster, but it's composed by good players, not stars. Paul is their only star.
In Utah, you have a top PF in Boozer, a player that could be a contender for DPOY in Kirilenko and role players as good as those New Orleans has.
It's not even close in terms of talent.
The only thing Deron has on Chris Paul is endurance, as Paul has missed a lot more games than Deron in their respective careers. Anything else, Paul has the edge (albeit Deron is also a great, great pg... just not on the same level).
I covered how the Hornets are better than the Jazz in a previous post of mine on this page. Take a look, I've covered it well

post on the ABC News site reminds us that today is International Lefthanders Day. Apparently around 15% of the population is left-handed.
Genealogists, are you left-handed? Were your ancestors left-handed? Do you think your natural orientation is to left-handedness but that it was knocked out of you when you were forced to learn to write with your right hand?
Can you identify the lefties in your family tree? Until today I hadn't thought about this but now that it is on my radar one of my tasks for today is to go to my tree and to add a tag to the records of those that I know to be left-handed and that includes two of my offspring.
As @StateRecordsNSW suggests on Twitter let's give the lefties a hug today.
Friday, August 13, 2010
Is there a lefty in your family tree?
2 comments:
- Elizabeth O'Neal said...
My husband is lefty, as was his maternal grandmother, and one of his sisters. He's hoping our daughter will also be one, but she's showing definite signs of being right-handed.

Lefty here! Several members of my family are, too.

CRESTVIEW � It's Friday night or never if Crestview High School�s football team wants a chance to make the state playoffs when the Bulldogs travel to Niceville for a District 1-7A showdown with the Eagles. Game time is 7 p.m.
CRESTVIEW � It's Friday night or never if Crestview High School�s football team wants a chance to make the state playoffs when the Bulldogs travel to Niceville for a District 1-7A showdown with the Eagles.
Game time is 7 p.m.
The Eagles (8-0, 1-0) are flying high and are No. 6 in this week's Associated Press Class 7A state poll.
Even if the Bulldogs can ground the Eagles, which would be the first win over Niceville in more than 30 years, Crestview (3-5, 0-1) still wouldn't be assured a spot in the playoffs.
A Bulldog win would force a shootout between Crestview, Niceville and Tate, which would be played at 7 p.m. Monday at Niceville.
"That's what we are talking about," Bulldog Coach Tim Hatten said. "If we win, we are back in it (playoff contention) and we've got a shot.
"That's all we are worried about is a shot to play in the post season. If we win, we will take our chances � and whatever scenario plays out, we will worry about that later."
Crestview is coming off an open date that Hatten used to try to firm up some fundamentals.
"We are always going to have opportunities (for big plays) because of what we do," he said. "People are going to be running open and we have to find those people and find a way to get it to them.
"We have to find a way to relay that information to our quarterback and for our quarterback to get the play on the field and for us to be where we need to be. We just have to hold the course and keep on doing what we are doing. We've made progress in a lot of areas and we just need to continue to progress."
Hatten was pressed to find many weaknesses when assessing the Eagles.
"They are playing extremely good football," he said. "They are a very well coached bunch. They don't make a bunch of mistakes.
"They are just solid. They are solid in their responsibilities on defense and offense. They have built a program that has had some continuity; and when you turn the tape on, you can tell that they have been doing the same things over and over for years and they have been coached by the same people."
Niceville runs a spread offense very much like Crestview's. The Eagles run out a base four-man front on defense, but will jump into a five-man front and mix up coverage.
"We just have to make sure we go in there and we are solid in every phase of the game," Hatten said. "We can't hang our heads if they make a big play. We have to keep pushing forward.
"We can't rest on any success that we might have. We have to play team football for 48 minutes. We have to tackle well, we cannot allow the big play and we can't turn the ball over."

What: Crestview at Niceville
When: 7 p.m. Friday

Rated 1 out of 5 by Chloe from Nice Color overall though not impressed Bebe dresses run small and this is no exception if you get the wrong size you will have trouble zipping up this dress and getting into it.I have big boobs and a big butt as well as big hips but I'am skinny so this dress in a small would probably not fit me or it would be super tight on and uncomfortable to wear.If you have a curvy body you have to take that into account when buying this dress because you need to go a size up.I 'am not too crazy about this dress its okay but its not worth buying.The design on the dress makes it look cheap if it was just a solid chocolate color it would be cute.The video shows what this dress looks like in person well.If you are interested in buying this one I wouldnt waste your money get it on sale or dont bother its not worth 159 dollars.

Rated 2 out of 5 by MichelleAnn from This dress is very pretty The one thing I was not expecting was how bad the sequence tore up my arms !!! I have never experienced anything like that with bebe dresses. If you get this dress you will need to keep a first aid kit handy or walk around with your arms wide open!

Rated 3 out of 5 by lgkla2 from Eh... The dress looks absolutely beautiful...until you try it on, the length is too short then the part underneath hangs out and when u try to lift it up the material of the dress scratches you. I wear a DD bought a Medium and it was just too tight I was suffocating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by yolis1 from Love it! Just received the dress. Didnt care for it due to bad reviews but when I was at the store I decided.to try on anyway and was surprised! Very flattering and im not a skinny or tall chic...cannot wait to wear for my bday!

Rated 2 out of 5 by fahzybear from Looks great on model, not on me. The dress was very unflattering around my stomach region and the straps were too long. I think this may be a pretty dress for tall, slender women (but what isn't), however it made me look chubby and the design diamond design reminded me of a joker. I am 5'2 and 130lbs. Ordered it in a small. Returning it todya.

An Ohio man has been sentenced to six months in prison for bringing a loaded gun, ammunition and knives to a showing of the latest Batman movie.
A judge in Cleveland sentenced 38-year-old Scott Smith of North Ridgeville on Thursday on his guilty plea to two counts of carrying concealed weapons.
Smith was arrested last August at a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" in the Cleveland suburb of Westlake.
His attorney says Smith had the weapons for protection in case someone tried to copy the Colorado theater shooting that left 12 dead three weeks earlier.
Smith was acquitted of a third charge of having a weapon under disability, which prosecutors said was drug dependency.

Day joins Palmer in top spot
Australia's Jason Day moved joint top of the leaderboard alongside overnight leader Ryan Palmer following the second round at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
The 26-year-old, in search of his third PGA Tour triumph, carded a 68 to add to his opening 66 in Boston to move into a one-shot lead with Palmer on eight under par.
Day recorded a flawless front nine where he claimed five birdies, but his back nine let him down and he could have taken the outright lead at the halfway stage had he not suffered with bogeys on the 12th, 14th and 18th holes to go three-under for the round.
Jason Day is in the hunt for his third PGA Tour title (AP)
American Palmer also endured a mixed round and a double bogey on the second could have meant trouble, but he claimed five birdies among three bogeys to finish level on par and in the lead for the second day.
One shot further back are Palmer's compatriots Matt Kuchar and Billy Horschel, who both enjoyed an impressive round of 66 to stay in contention.
Kuchar, who hit a 69 on Friday, admitted he was struggling on day one after hearing of the sudden death of his caddie Lance Bennett's wife Angela two days earlier after suffering a seizure.
He told www.pgatour.com: "Today was easier. I think that's the natural progression of how these things work. (I) still felt like Angela was on my mind almost every hole, every shot. But yesterday I had a hard time following through a couple of times."
Horschel's round was almost flawless, a bogey on the eighth the only blemish among six birdies.
Five Americans shard fifth place, Ryder Cup qualifier Patrick Reed joined by Keegan Bradley, Bill Haas, Webb Simpson and Russell Henley.
Three shots off the lead sits Scotland's Russell Knox in a tie for 10th, one shot behind 2011 winner Webb Simpson following a second-round 70 which included a three birdies and a double bogey on the 10th which set him back.
World number one Rory McIlroy was two under ahead of the third round, the PGA Championship and Open Championship winner improving his first-round score by one shot with 69 on a scorecard including three birdies and a bogey on the front nine, but a double bogey on the 14th set him back before he ended the round with two further birdies.
The Northern Irishman sits one shot ahead of England's Ian Poulter, who struggled after his opening round 67 as he carded a 73 which included a triple bogey on the 16th hole and a double bogey on the 1st - among five birdies and two bogeys - to drop back in the field.
The shot of the day came from a player who ended up missing the cut, Robert Garrigus sending his 50-foot putt off the fifth green and onto the fringe to allow the ball to catch a slope to the left and roll in.
He could only manage a second successive 73 and finished one shot outside the cut-off on four over.

|Extension of Superconducting LINAC Operation to Lighter Beams
|The superconducting LINAC booster at Pelletron Linac Facility(Mumbai), has been fully operational since July 2007. The Liquid Helium Refrigeration plant for the LINAC has been upgraded to enhance the refrigeration capacity to ~450 Watts at 4.5K without LN2 pre-cool, from the earlier capacity of ~300 Watts. All beam lines in new user halls have been commissioned and new experimental setups have been added. Several experiments have been carried out using beams of 12C, 16O, 19F, 28Si, 31P. The QWR cavity is designed for β=0.1 and hence it is difficult to accelerate lighter beams. Due to growing interest in studying Li induced reactions on fissile targets at energies higher than 55 MeV, we have recently accelerated Li beam using four cryostat modules. Starting with 40 MeV Li beam from the pelletron, 56 MeV beam was successfully delivered at target station for a test experiment.

"Vice City gave me that feeling, and I'd love it if Rockstar could show me something in GTA V that brings me back to a position where not playing it is out of the question. But, for now, my excitement's other places, and Rockstar would need to do something special to change that."
GTA 4 sucked compared to VC and SA. BoGT was much better but I'm not sold yet, either. Need to see some gameplay to get me hyped... but I already know I'll get it anyway ...even a bad GTA is better than most games :S
As bad as I want gtaV I might have to pass on it due to the fact gtaV release September 17 ... With PS4 launching soon after it makes no sense to get gta V .

Baruch College Congratulates Alejandra Ceja on Her Appointment as Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics
Alejandra Ceja
NEW YORK, NY - May 15, 2013 - Baruch College congratulates Alumna Alejandra Ceja on her appointment as the new Director of The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.
The announcement was made by U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan on May 9. The Initiative is tasked with expanding academic excellence and improving educational opportunities for Hispanics by making recommendations to President Obama and Secretary Duncan.
Ceja, a native of Huntington Park, Calif., has family roots that trace back to Michoacan, Mexico. She received her MPA in Public Administration at Baruch College and her BA in Political Science at Mount St. Mary�s College in California.
"Alejandra is a trusted advisor and leader in the Hispanic community," Duncan said in the announcement issued by the U.S. Department of Education. "As director of this important initiative, Alejandra will continue her exceptional work of pursuing academic excellence and opportunities for Hispanics across the country."
To prepare America's next generation, President Obama has set a goal to have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. Improving education opportunities for Hispanics will be central to achieving that goal. From increasing the graduation rates of Hispanic students to encouraging community engagement across the country, Ceja will work to address the critical issues surrounding the educational achievements of Hispanic citizens.
"I look forward to advancing the mission and goals of the Initiative and to helping prepare Hispanics to achieve their potential academically, professionally, civically, and globally," Ceja said. "We've got a lot of work to do because ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to seek an academic degree is vital to our country's success."
Ceja previously was Chief of Staff for Secretary of Education Martha Kanter. She also served as Senior Budget/Appropriations Advisor on the House Education and Labor Committee. Prior to her time on Capitol Hill, Ceja was Program Examiner for the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), where she helped comprise the federal budget for the Department of Labor and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Ceja is a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Alumnae Association, the National Urban Fellows, the National Hispana Leadership Institute, and a graduate of the Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF) program.

NASA Mulls Missions for Donated Spy Satellite Telescopes
NASA is sorting through a variety of possible uses for a pair of powerful spy satellite telescopes that fell into the agency's lap last year.
In November, NASA asked scientists to suggest missions for the telescopes, which were donated by the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and are comparable in size and appearance to the famous Hubble Space Telescope.
More than 60 serious proposals came flooding in, the most promising of which were presented in early February at the Study on Applications of Large Space Optics (SALSO) workshop in Huntsville, Ala. [Declassified U.S. Spy Satellites (Gallery)]
Some of the ideas proposed:
Mars-orbiting space telescope
Exoplanet observatory
General-purpose faint object explorer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Few people like to be compared to someone else, even when it is a favorable one.
With the Lipscomb Lady Bisons making their second trip to the NCAA Tournament coach Kristin Ryman is not surprised that she is being asked to compare this year's team with the 2010 team that played in the Tuscaloosa Regional.
This week the Lady Bisons are headed for the Knoxville Regional hosted by the University of Tennessee. They are scheduled to play Virginia Tech from the Atlantic Coast Conference at 2:30 p.m. Friday. Host Tennessee and Charleston Southern play in game two at 5 p.m.
"It is hard to compare the two," Ryman said. "On any team the personnel is going to be different. Each team is going to have its strengths and weaknesses.
"They define two different eras. I know that neither team probably likes being compared to the other. There are a lot of similarities, but it is neat to see distinct differences as well."
The Purple and Gold are 39-13 this season. The 2010 team finished with a 50-13 record, the best in the history of the program. They won both the Atlantic Sun regular season and tournament titles. In Tuscaloosa they beat UAB twice and then lost twice to Alabama, the host and the No. 1 seed in the country.
This week the Lady Bisons are 32nd in the NCAA RPI. The 2010 team was 36th at the end of the year.
"The highest RPI we got was 36th in 2010 and this year we have been as high as 28th," Ryman said. "Our RPI this year has not dropped below 35.
"It is interesting to compare the two. It would have been neat to see that 2010 group play a tougher schedule. I think this year we have played a much tougher schedule than we did in 2010. The conference as a whole is much stronger now than in 2010 and that makes a difference."
The two teams show differences from an offensive standpoint. The 2010 team batted .320 with 57 home runs and 292 runs batted in. The 2014 team is hitting .298 with 259 RBI and 39 homers. The 2014 team has also stolen 59 bases.
"Offensively, from top to bottom, the 2010 team at this point of the year was probably stronger," Ryman said. "This year's group is just as dynamic offensively with just as much power potential and a little more speed potential.
"The 2010 team was more power-oriented. We have more speed now."
Both teams have grown together through the seasons. The 2014 team has seven seniors. The 2010 team had six seniors.
"They both have a lot of players who have started since their freshman year," Ryman said. "Both have broken a lot of records individually and as a team.
"When you do it once you want to go back. But you wonder if you can ever be that good again. This team has proven that we can do it again. We are winning games and producing on the field."
The 2010 pitching staff – Whitney Kiihnl, Christen Campbell and Alaina Jacobson – all saw a lot of time in the circle and offered three different styles of pitching.
"They all three threw a good number of innings, but Whitney was our No. 1 pitcher," Ryman said. "Everyone knew we were going to put the ball in her hand a decent amount of the time.
"I think this year's pitching staff is kind of the same way. We have Ashley Anderson who has emerged as the No. 1 pitcher. But we also have Tanner Sanders and Heather Parker who are both very good. As a staff they have really done a great job. You don't have this much success over the course of a season without having a good pitching staff."
Another area where the two teams are different is in the overall personality.
"The 2010 team had players like Abby Keese, Campbell and Kellie Sirus. Christen didn't say a whole lot, but she was a go-getter. Kellie stepped into a leadership role. Jacobson could be a little quiet but she was as feisty as all get-out. They had some dominating personalities.
"This year's team is so much more chill. That is maybe the best word I can come up with to describe them as a group. It doesn't mean they don't work hard. It doesn't mean they are too lax in their approach. But they are just kind of laid back. They show up and do what they need to do."
Ryman thinks this year's team might be closer than the 2010 team.
"We have some different personalities now, but there is more of similarity between them," Ryman said. "In that 2010 group we had a big dynamic in personalities. But it was fun. It added something different."
Ryman is the only person on the team that was a part of the 2010 team.
"I think and reminisce about that 2010 team because at that point they were the best team we had ever had," Ryman said. "Every group since then, as respectful as they are to that 2010 group, there is always a little bit of envy there.
"Every team since has wanted to be up in those ranks because that is the group that everyone is compared to whether they like it or not or whether I like it or not. Once they set that standard you want to find ways to stay at that level."

The Huntington University women's basketball team had possession at the end of a tight game with visiting and top-ranked Indiana Wesleyan University on Wednesday, Jan. 30, but couldn't put the ball in to force overtime or grab a late win, losing 56-54.
The Foresters, 14-10, 6-7 in the Crossroads League, maintained a lead on the top NAIA Division II team in the nation for the majority of the game, taking a 25-22 advantage into halftime and leading Indiana Wesleyan by as many as nine points in the second half. The Wildcats were resilient, though, chipping away at the Foresters' leads and forcing four of the game's six ties.
Huntington forced the contest's final tie with 1:20 to go in the second half on a Pazia Speed free throw that made things 54-54. Although Indiana Wesleyan responded with two clutch free throws of its own, the door was open for the Foresters on the game's final possession, but a shot by Speed and back-to-back tries by Sarah Miller-Jennings didn't fall, sealing the team's fate.
Miller-Jennings led all scorers with 19 points, going 3 for 4 from beyond the arc and 6 for 7 at the charity stripe. Amelia Recker supplied 13 for Huntington on 6 of 9 shooting and Speed netted 10. Taylor Foley headed the team's effort on the boards with 12 rebounds.
Paige Smith and Taylor Goshert paced the Wildcats with 13 points apiece. Katrina Blackmon added 10 points to the team's cause and Claire Ray and Emma Stahl each had eight.
The teams finished the game almost dead-even in field goal percentage, with Huntington at 43.5 percent on a 20 of 46 showing and Indiana Wesleyan at 43.1 percent off a 22 for 51 performance.

GMarshal necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 126 diseños de 28 diseñadores freelance.
GameMarshal has already been an established brand in the video gaming industry in the early 2000's. Now just in time for the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo in LA, we're coming back!
We have spent nearly 2 years planning, designing and developing the website and its extensive back-end. We are looking to launch and establish a strong brand within the video gaming industry, and grow GameMarshal to compete for the market share between websites such as Gamespot and IGN.
The concept is very web 2.0. We want to keep our design and content simple, yet attractive. Clean, sophisticated, easy to browse, to read, to engage with. Website utilizes the latest ajax and jquery technologies and adopts usability concepts used by social sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
We are looking for a logo that represents our values and will become an easily identifiable brand within the industry.
A FEW MORE THOUGHTS: Take a look at the GameSpot logo. It's fairly small in size, but has a large impact. We would like to keep our header minimalistic (as you can see in the layout prototype attached below). The logo which will be displayed just underneath the navigation bar, should not overpower the header or distract visitors from the content.
The height of the top navigation bar is only 40px. And we would like to keep the entire header under 150px high.
I have also attached a screenshot of the layout of an article page (screen-2). You can use that as a guide for your logo design. The header (including the nav bar) is 135px high, but can be more. Ideally the logo would fit just underneath the nav bar and would not take away from the visitor focusing on the content just below the header.
Mostly males, 18-35 years old. Gamers.
Our target audience will match those of:
No restrictions on color, but the logo must look excellent on a light background (#f6f6f6 specifically)
Should not use gradients. Should be able to print in two colors (or black and white)
Scalable (can be printed on pens or on a billboard)
We are open to all ideas. While the official name is GameMarshal, you are free to separate the words, use all uppercase, attach ".com" or do whatever you feel is necessary to better represent the brand.
Feel free to integrate an icon into the logo. I've attached a file below, it is a concept for a badge that was made for us in the past to be integrated into the logo. I am not too crazy about it, but feel free to revamp it and use it in your design. It is just a concept, its not required to be integrated, but if you have a fresh idea on how to update it and use it in your design go for it.
Below is also a prototype image of the website design indicating where the logo will appear.

Nederland homicide
May 19, 2013, at approximately 10:40 a.m. Nederland Police responded to a call of a deceased person at 1515 N. 27th St. On arrival, officers met with neighbors who said they had gone to the residence to check on Patricia Dale Hebert when they found her dead. Officers located a white female 67 years of age identified as Hebert dead on the kitchen floor. The victim had what appeared to be a laceration to the left side of her neck.
There was no forced entry to the house, and the interior of the residence did not appear to have been burglarized. No arrests have been made at this time.
The investigation is being conducted by the Nederland Police Department, the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office and The Jefferson County Crime Lab. Judge Mark Derouen is conducting an inquest and has ordered an autopsy.
Hebert's death is the second Nederland homicide of 2013. Officers arrested 26-year-old Nederland resident Joseph Garrett Arredondo on Wednesday, April 10, in relation to the homicide of his mother, Hollie Ann Arredondo, according to a press release from the Nederland Police Department.

Four turf stars trained by H. Graham Motion were flown back from California to his training center in Maryland Sunday morning but Motion plans to send another before the Hollywood Park meet ends next month.
Motion indicated that he would ship Lucky Chappy west for the $750,000 CashCall Futurity, a Grade I test for 2-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track, on December 17.
Lucky Chappy, an Irish-bred colt owned by Team Valor International, finished a closing fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf under Joel Rosario in his last start November 5 at Churchill Downs.
By High Chapparal, Lucky Chappy won two of three starts in Italy this summer before joining the Motion stable and finishing third in the Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland on October 9.
Owner Arnold Zetcher, whose unbeaten So Brilliant won the $100,000 Hollywood Prevue Stakes Thanksgiving Day, said the colt would join Liaison, winner of the $100,000 Real Quiet Stakes, in the Futurity.
Both Zetcher-owned colts are trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, who is also considering Secret Circle and Sky Kingdom for the Futurity. Baffert has won the Futurity a record five times.
"I'm planning to bring Secret Circle over next week and work him," said Baffert of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint winner, based at Santa Anita. Sky Kingdom was an impressive winner of a maiden race at 1 1/16 miles here Thursday.
Tres Borrachos, a rejuvenated veteran with a history of past success at Hollywood Park, is expected to face two newcomers to the track in the $100,000 Native Diver Handicap, a Grade III test at 1 1/8 miles on Cushion Track Saturday.
"He worked great yesterday, and he's run well on this track," said trainer Marty Jones Sunday in reference to a five-furlong drill in 1:02.60 Saturday.
Tres Borrachos, a 6-year-old gelding, has won just four of 34 lifetime starts, but three of them have been on this surface, including a victory in the 2008 Swaps Stakes. He also finished second in the 2009 Hollywood Gold Cup.
Tres Borrachos awakened from a 13-race losing streak to win the San Diego Handicap at Del Mar in July and finish a closing third in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile in his last outing. Joel Rosario has the call back.
The two new faces in the Native Diver belong to the well-traveled Eldaafer and Rescue Squad, shipped here from New York by Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey.
"He'll probably runs if it comes up light," said trainer Brian Koriner, who has taken over the training of Eldaafer, shipped to Santa Anita after a sixth-place finish in the Breeders' Cup Marathon.
Eldaafer, a 6-year-old gelding, won the Breeders' Cup Marathon in 2010, a year after he captured the Brooklyn Handicap. Victorious in 11 of 32 starts, Eldaafer has raced at 13 different tracks.
Rescue Squad, a 5-year-old horse, has won only three of 16 starts but is two-for-two on synthetic surfaces, including an allowance victory at Keeneland at 1 1/8 miles in his last outing on October 21.
"I think he's here because he's done well on Polytrack before," said Jennifer Patterson, assistant to McGaughey. "This was kind of the next step.
"He's done great since he got here," said Patterson of the horse, who was flown here Monday. "He seems to really like the track. He's going to breeze tomorrow." Hall of Famer Mike Smith will ride Rescue Squad for the first time.
Trainer John Sadler said he is considering both Gladding, winner of the San Antonio Stakes at Santa Anita, and Kettle Corn, a recent allowance winner, for the Native Diver.
Summer Movie, another Native Diver nominee, worked five furlongs in 1:00.20 Sunday.
Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer plans to send out a potent one-two punch of City to City and Washington Bridge in the $150,000 Bayakoa Handicap, a Grade II test for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track next Sunday.
Washington Bridge won the Bayakoa last year but has been winless in eight starts since and may have to play second fiddle to stablemate City to City.
"City to City is the horse to beat," said Dan Ward, assistant to Hollendorfer, Sunday. "We were thinking about entering her in the Matriarch (Friday) but decided to wait another week.
City to City, a 4-year-old daughter of City Zip, won the Palomar Handicap at Del Mar in September and finished second to All Star Heart in the Las Palmas Stakes at Santa Anita in her last start November 6.
"Washington Bridge just ran a good third to All Star Heart in her last start (the Swingtime at Santa Anita October 8)," said Ward, hoping the 4-year-old filly is showing signs of ending her slump. "We'll have a good entry in there."
Ward was happy with five-furlong works by the pair here Saturday: Washington Bridge in 59.20 seconds and City to City in 1:00.60. Garrett Gomez has the call back on City to City, and Joe Talamo will return on Washington Bridge.
Other probable starters include Bauble Queen (Rafael Bejarano), Champagne d'Oro (Victor Espinoza), Ellafitz (Martin Garcia), Love Theway Youare (Alonso Quinonez) and Miss Mittagong (Joel Rosario).
Weemissfrankie, the most accomplished 2-year-old filly in California, will probably run in the $250,000 Hollywood Starlet on December 10, trainer Peter Eurton reported Sunday.
"It's looking pretty solid," said Eurton, pleased with a four-furlong work in 47.60 seconds here Saturday. "It seemed like a gallop. She will work again next Saturday."
Rafael Bejarano has the call back on Weemissfrankie in the Grade I Starlet at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track. The New York-bred daughter of Sunriver finished third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies in her most recent start. She earlier won the Del Mar Debutante and Oak Leaf Stakes, both Grade I races.
FINISH LINES—Trainer Jim Kasparoff confirmed Sunday morning that the career of Bob Black Jack is over after the 6-year-old horse was vanned off the track following a sixth-place finish in the Citation Handicap Saturday. "He tore both branches in his left front suspensory," said Kasparoff. "It's different from a previous injury on his other leg. He's comfortable in his stall. There were no fractures, only muscle tears. There will be no more comebacks. He will probably be here another month until he is comfortable standing. Then we will look somewhere for him to stand stud." The California-bred won the Grade I Malibu Stakes in 2008, captured five of 13 starts and earned $704,925…Joe Griffin, agent for jockey Daniel Vergara, reported that the jockey was only "a little sore" following a spill when Waltzing With Blue broke down in fourth race Saturday. Vergara was taken to Centinela Hospital for precautionary examination and released. He took off his mounts Sunday…Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally reported that X-rays came back negative on All Star Heart, scratched from the Matriarch Stakes Friday because of soreness in her right front leg…"We're staying. I like it here!" said trainer Vann Belvoir after recording his first double in Southern California Saturday with Dress Code in the fourth race and Yes It's Snowing in the fifth. Belvoir, a 38-year-old former jockey, moved to this circuit from Washington state during the summer and currently oversees a 27-horse stable at Santa Anita… John Shear, the 90-year-old security guard who was seriously injured while shielding a young girl from a loose horse in the Santa Anita paddock in March, was a weekend visitor and said he planned to return to work December 26, opening day at Santa Anita…Best wishes for a speedy recovery to veteran Southern California turf writer Art Wilson, who is taking a leave of absence to deal with a health issue.

RVDA Issues Dealer-Assisted Financing Update
June 22, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on RVDA Issues Dealer-Assisted Financing Update
Editor's Note: The following is an alert to members from the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA) concerning dealer-assisted financing.
Changes in dealer-arranged financing sought by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) could hurt consumers, according to 35 congressional Republicans.
Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama and 34 other GOP representatives said CFPB guidance issued to lenders earlier this spring could raise borrowing costs and hurt sales. For a copy of the letter, click here.
"The controls strike us as onerous and unrealistic," the letter said, "and restricting consumer choice is highly problematic." Among those signing the letter were Rep. Marlin Stutzman of IN, Rep. Blaine Luetkmeyer of MO, and Rep. Gary Miller of CA.
The CFPB actions on dealer-assisted financing are opposed by RVDA and its allies including NADA. Dealers are exempt from regulation by the bureau, but lenders are subject to CFPB oversight.

Organization Inspiration: Geninne's Studio
Nothing like a beautiful and freshly organized workspace to inspire a little bout of spring cleaning in the home office. This lovely studio from Geninne of Geninne's Art Blog is impeccably put together, with detailed inspiration boards, neat work surfaces, and efficient shelving.
Geninne shares the office with her two sons, who are home-schooled, and she herself is an artist, so the room is necessarily packed with supplies and tools, yet she's managed to avoid clutter and chaos. The furnishings are simple, and the color palette comes through mostly in the images Geninne has hung around the room as inspiration for her artwork. We love the muted blues, silvery grays, and olive greens... so springlike and refreshing!
Part of the organizational success of this room seems to be due to compartmentalization. Geninne has chosen her furniture and storage carefully, so that everything has a designated spot. A custom-made card-catalog-style unit is perfect for holding all the bits and baubles Geninne uses in her projects.
Check out Geninne's Art Blog or her Flickr page for more inspirational images and spaces. You can peruse and purchase her own artwork in her Etsy shop as well.

I don't often focus on a particular vendor in this column, but Storage Spaces is worth covering for two reasons: because Microsoft is an integrated part of the "IT furniture," and because of the view this product gives to a new storage approach.
Formally introduced last September, Windows Server 2012 includes appealing new features for cloud environments, such as improvements to Hyper-V virtualization. A significant chunk of the improvements are storage-focused, letting customers add advanced SAN features to commodity hardware and/or existing storage investments, but with significantly less complexity and cost. Customers gain access to features such as thin provisioning, multi-pathing, deduplication, continuous availability and live migration, which in the past demanded large budgets and storage expertise.
At a high level, Storage Spaces lets organizations buy commodity disk drives (e.g., an array of hard drives often called JBOD, or "just a bunch of disks"), connect them to a Windows server and quickly deploy inexpensive storage with high-level features. Without buying fancy SAN components, customers can get enterprise-class security, performance, scalability and dynamic provisioning. Companies can deploy Storage Spaces on application servers, file servers and Hyper-V virtual machines. The product virtualizes disk resources -- SAS, SATA, JBOD -- into a single pool or multiple pools, with easy capacity expansion.
[ Steve Ballmer badly bungled Microsoft's client services strategy. Can the company recover? Read Ballmer Is Off The Matrix. ]
Storage Spaces lets administrators configure virtual hard disks that deliver attributes such as resiliency, thin provisioning, automatic or controlled allocation and specific administrative control. Customers can configure three types of Spaces:
Simple Spaces: This configuration includes striping data across a number of drives, with no protection from drive failure.
Mirrored Spaces: This configuration stripes data across multiple drives and adds a mirror for failure protection (similar to RAID 10).
Parity Spaces: Here, data is striped across multiple drives, with distributed parity (similar to RAID 5) to protect against drive failure.
Trim is also supported so that administrators can reclaim storage capacity in certain circumstances. The software-based resiliency options deliver RAID-like protection, but without some of the challenges of RAID, such as the RAID write hole -- an indication that despite being a market newcomer, Microsoft isn't afraid to "do its own thing." Microsoft has demonstrated a surprising level of storage sophistication.
For multitenant hosting environments, Storage Spaces supports access control lists to maintain separation, and it can be fully integrated with Active Directory for familiar Windows security. Storage Spaces is also integrated with failover clustering for high availability and load balancing, as well as with Cluster Shared Volumes V2. Also important is the simple management of Storage Spaces -- required if you want to have Windows administrators start handling storage. There's a File and Storage Services GUI in Windows Server Manager, as well as scriptable remote management using APIs and PowerShell and task automation with many new Windows PowerShell cmdlets.
Easier, Cheaper Enterprise-Class Storage
OK, enough on the technical side. Let's talk about customer value.
First, Storage Spaces is easy to use and manage. Your Windows admin can handle it with no additional training, so it also reduces management costs. Next, it provides enterprise-class storage without the complexity and cost of a complex SAN environment.
Microsoft is investing in Storage Spaces. With R2 it's adding sub-LUN tiering, write-back caching, dual-parity protection (similar to RAID 6) and additional deduplication features. It's increasingly obvious that Redmond has every intention of delivering a full suite of enterprise-class features. It has the list and is checking off the boxes one by one.
Will Microsoft Become a Big Storage Player?
The capabilities of Storage Spaces should create some disruption in the SAN value chain. Any time there's something cheaper and easier, it will wreak some havoc. And with 55% of respondents to a recent Enterprise Strategy Group survey citing a moderate to severe lack of administrators who can support storage, there's clearly a hole to fill.
In addition, since most companies have Microsoft products somewhere, its market entry should be a breeze. While the idea of running critical applications in a Windows environment would have been considered unthinkable a decade ago, Windows is now a crucial part of the modern data center. What hasn't changed from the old days is the pain and great expense of conventional storage implementations. Suffice it to say that the market is ripe.
If Storage Spaces works well and Microsoft shops start buying from little JBOD companies, will that cut into the market share of the big gorillas? If Microsoft isn't pushing multimillion-dollar boxes from EMC and HP, what happens to those partnerships?
The virtual SAN concept (using software to virtualize disk resources and "spread the wealth" among servers in a cluster) is already proven. A few examples (beyond the older storage hypervisors) are ScaleIO (recently acquired by EMC), Nutanix, StorMagic, and even HP (with LeftHand VSA software) and VMware.
It will be fascinating to see if the big incumbents treat Storage Spaces dismissively. Expect to hear them declare that Storage Spaces "is fine at the low end" in an attempt to segregate the market. If they do, they could end up like the U.S. auto industry, which initially dismissed the likes of Toyota and Honda in the same way.

As the Houston Texans continue to haggle with the agent for veteran free safety Ed Reed after his visit Friday, the Super Bowl champion Ravens haven't closed the door on trying to retain the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
To characterize the situation as a true financial competition would be a bit of an overstatement, though.
The Ravens' tight salary-cap situation could preclude them from making Reed a major negotiating priority. Plus, the 34-year's old age, durability concerns and decline in range could work against a reunion with the Ravens.
The Ravens would like to have Reed back, but not for $6 million annually and definitely not for the $7.2...

The tires on my Lexus were on the verge of being dangerous. I rode them bald and all four needed to be replaced.
The newest generation of technological innovations is helping create tires that can help you save money at the fuel pump. Goodyear's new Assurance Fuel Max tires use a technology to better link and distribute materials within the tire compound to decrease rolling resistance without sacrificing all-season traction or tread life. The result is a fuel-efficient solution that can potentially save drivers 2,600 miles worth of gas over the life of four tires. Fuel Max tires are available in 33 sizes, fit more than 80 percent of vehicles on the road and can accommodate 15"-17" wheels.

This is round five in a series of collaborations a friend of site's 5 year old son Cohen is working on (a 5 yr. old has projects already?!). He creates a loose background and then sends the work off (with the help from his dad, of course) to some really great artists like Barry McGee, Gonz, Travis Millard, Michael Siebien, UPSO, Tiffany Bozic, and many others who then add some work to it and thus the collabs are born. Below are some recent additions to the already impressive collection with captions from Cohen himself.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Well folks I'm at a bit of a loss here as I've read through the FAQ and tried what was suggested and I haven't had much luck. It could be that I missed something that was in the FAQ, if so feel free to point me to it. I guess I'll start with the main components of my setup:Samsung HLS4266 42" DLP (720p native resolution)Harmon Kardon AVR-230 receiverHTPCP4 1.4GHz CPU768MB RAM40 GB Western Digital HDD320 GB Seagate HDDMatrox G450Lite On DVD-ROMATi TV Wonder x 2 Hercules FortissimoUSB IR Receiver (HP branded)So with that noted here are the issues that I'm experiencing:1) I can not seem to get an acceptable resolution that my TV supports. I want to run it in 720p (have it hooked up to my G450 via DVI to HDMI cable) but every time I select that resolution no matter what I set the refresh rate I get an incompatible signal. The TV specs state that it should support 720p at 60Hz but it will not run at that. 2) I decided to try and live with a lower resolution (420p) while I just try and get it up and running. Then I encountered my audio problem. I can not get audio out of my sound card via either the optical out (no light coming out either, should be noted) or via the analog audio. As far as I'm aware this card does work, at least the analog. I was able to get the analog working under another distribution. Not sure why it isn't working now.3) I decide that I'll just deal with no audio for now (effectively I just want to get it setup) but when I get to the final audio step it just hangs and doesn't do anything.At this point I'm honestly not quite sure what to do. All help is appreciated.

SAVANNAH — It's been a mild winter.
The azaleas know it, having bloomed before the calendar flipped to March. So do farmer Relinda Walker's asparagus plants.
"I went down ... to see if I needed to weed the asparagus bed before they came up," said Walker, who farms organically in Screven County, Ga. "I saw spears up all over the place. They'd obviously been there a few days. Normally the first asparagus is the first of April."
She wasn't exactly surprised.
"We had spring all winter except for two episodes of 19 degrees," said Walker, who sells her produce weekly at the Forsyth Farmer's Market. "The whole thing's kinda nuts."
It won't be the warmest winter on record in Savannah. Using data that stretches back to 1874, the National Weather Service in Charleston reports that December was the 26th warmest, January was the 30th warmest and February was the 32nd warmest of their respective months. Last week, Savannah broke high temperature records with a reading of 84 on Feb. 23 and 86 on Feb. 24. The previous highs were two and three degrees cooler respectively, said meteorologist Brett Cimbora.
The warmth is bringing an early start to strawberry season at both the Bamboo Farm and Ottawa Farms in Bloomingdale. Both begin pick-your-own season this weekend.
"We're running about three weeks ahead with this warm weather," said Pete Waller, who owns and operates Ottawa Farms and is president of the Georgia Strawberry Growers Association.
"They are definitely early," said Jim Fountain, interim superintendent at the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens at the Historic Bamboo Farm. "The warm weather has everything and everybody confused. But we have plenty of strawberries."

Soulful, sultry, sophisticated — Savannah is a city that is eager to share its charms and reveal its secrets. The city's renowned annual music festival allows visitors to experience the spirit and soul of the city.
Soulful, sultry, sophisticated — Savannah is a city that is eager to share its charms and reveal its secrets. The city's renowned annual music festival allows visitors to experience the spirit and soul of the city.
Savannah is unique for its sense of style and refinement. Laid out in a grid pattern and divided into 22 park-like squares, the nostalgic gas lights, cobblestone streets and lush gardens overflowing with dogwoods and brilliant azaleas reveal a world of beauty and hospitality.
Residents here not only embrace their graceful city's history and tradition, they live it every day as a badge of honor. Their museums, historic homes and squares bordered by Live Oak trees draped with Spanish moss are a source of deep pride.
Savannahians are in no hurry. They would rather stroll than walk. Indeed, that's the best way to appreciate the city. For coffee and people-watching, stop at Gallery Espresso, a casual hangout on Chippewa Square. A picnic in Forsyth Park, surrounded by restored mansions and inns, captures the natural beauty of the city.
Indeed, Savannah is an experience that cannot be rushed, only savored. Joseph Marinelli, president of Visit Savannah, says his favorite way to see the city is to tour the Historic District early in the morning and again later in the evening. "The city truly has two different faces, and it's fun to see them both."
There is a feeling of mystery in Savannah. Behind every door is a story. Delightful courtyards fronted by wrought-iron gates are a reminder of those in Charleston.
The discovery of a spring rose blooming or a hip dining spot in one of the squares is part of the adventure and romance of travel.
A city established in l733 has a history to share:
- The Pirates House restaurant was formerly a tavern frequented by pirates who sailed from the Caribbean in the late 1700s. Events here were said to inspire Robert Lewis Stevenson's novel, "Treasure Island."
- Savannah is known as America's Most Haunted City. Based on its history of fires, plagues, wars and voodoo, the American Institute of Parapsychology deemed the city the perfect place for supernatural activity. The widespread use of the haint blue color, brought to the city by African slaves, in local homes is thought to ward off evil spirits.
- During the Civil War and the occupation of Savannah, Gen. William T. Sherman ordered a prescription for aspirin at the old pharmacy in the present-day Gryphon Tea Room.
Guided tours are a favorite way to discover Savannah's treasures and time-honored traditions. There are at least 76 active tour companies, including walking, carriage and trolley tours that showcase the city.
Tours focus on topics such as architecture, ghosts, kayaking, films, black and Jewish heritage, pirate history, church and Paula Deen.
Heritage Tours offers a series of insider forays into Savannah. "Midnight — The Book and Movie Tour" explores John Berendt's book, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." It includes the haunting, but lovely, Bonaventure Cemetery and an option to see Lady Chablis' show at Club One (Lady Chablis was featured in both the book and movie).
The Telfair Museums combine art, history and architecture. These include two historic homes, The Owens-Thomas House and Telfair Academy, as well as the modern Jepson Center. Here you can tour elegant historic homes, view classic and contemporary art and see arts performances.
Families should consider a visit to the Juliette Gordon Low birthplace in Oglethorpe Square. Low, founder of the Girl Scouts in the U.S., lived in this Victorian mansion, now a National Historic Landmark.
The Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum on Martin Luther King Boulevard is the elegant setting for an exhibition of ship models, paintings and maritime antiques. It has the largest garden in the historic district.
The Savannah Music Festival March 20-April 5 honors its Georgia roots while drawing top performers in the genres of rock, jazz, blues, classical, ballet and film.
Savannah's Tour of Homes and Gardens March 21-24 offers a rare opportunity to enter some of the city's finest private homes to get a glimpse of the artwork and furnishings treasured by families for generations.
The tour celebrates the beauty and impact of preservation of Savannah, one of America's most well-preserved cities. In addition to walking tours, this year's festival will include seminars, trolley rides and evening events, with food.
The Historic Savannah Foundation celebrates its second annual Preservation Festival May 2-23. Planned activities are food-and-wine tours in private homes, a garden party art auction and seminars.
Savannah will paint the town green in honor of St. Patrick's Day, a favorite holiday in Georgia's first city since it is named after Ireland's beloved patron saint.
Although the holiday is March 17, the parade is Saturday. More than 300,000 people are expected to visit Savannah to help celebrate the second-largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the United States and enjoy the citywide festivities. The parade begins at the corner of Abercorn and Gwinnett streets and culminates at the corner of Bull and Harris streets in the historic district.
Expect to see 350 floats and marching units featuring local Irish groups, Irish pipe bands and local and regional celebrities.

How Much does a Alfa Romeo Spider Rocker Cover Gasket Replacement Cost?
The engine in your Alfa Romeo Spider relies on oil to keep the valvetrain components at the top of the engine well lubricated.
To keep this oil inside the engine and to keep dirt and debris out, a valve cover (also known as a rocker cover or tappet cover) is used with a rubber or cork gasket.
This gasket can fail over time, as it is exposed to severe heat and oil, and will need to be replaced periodically to prevent oil leaks and damage to these sensitive engine components.
Rocker Cover gasket replacement can cost between $200 and $800, depending on the location of the rocker cover and if the inlet manifold needs to be removed to allow access.

MARRAKECH, Morocco — More than 100 countries on Wednesday recognized a new Syrian opposition coalition, opening the way for greater humanitarian assistance to the forces battling Bashar Assad and possibly even military aid, France's foreign minister said.
The formation of the Syrian National Coalition appears to be the step the international community has been waiting for to extend deeper assistance to the opposition, which before had been criticized for not being sufficiently organized or representative.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius called the "Friends of the Syrian People" conference meeting in Marrakech, Morocco "extraordinary progress." He noted that the European Union is now renewing its weapons embargo on Syria every 3 months rather than annually to give them more flexibility as the situation on the ground changes.
"We want to have the ability to continue or to change our attitude on this point — the fact that the coalition, which is asking for the right to defend itself — is now being recognized by a hundred countries, yesterday the U.S. and first France, I think this is a very important point."
The conference comes hours after President Barack Obama declared its new coalition was the "legitimate representative" of its country's people.
At the conference, Syrian opposition spokesman Walid al-Bunni called for "real support" and not just recognition. The Syrian National Coalition, formed in November during a conference in Doha, Qatar, has been calling for increased international support, including military material.
"We need not only bread to help our people," opposition member Saleem Abdul Aziz al Meslet told The Associated Press. "We need support for our Syrian army — we need to speed up things and get rid of this regime."
Some of that support appeared to be forthcoming with Saudi Arabia announcing a $100 million aid package at the conference.
Western countries have been reluctant to send arms to Syria, not the least because of their experience in Libya where the West actively backed one side in a civil war in a country that later became awash in militant groups.
There has been a noticeable hardening of the Western rhetoric though as the war in Syria has ground on for nearly 2 years killing more than 40,000 people according to estimates by rights groups and as the rebels score new battlefield victories, there are fears that Assad may turn to his chemical weapons arsenal.
"In the United Kingdom, we do not rule out any option to save lives," warned British Foreign Secretary William Hague in his speech at the conference. "We do not know how long the conflict in Syria will last, but uniting the international community around these efforts, helping the national coalition to win the confidence of the Syrian people, planning for a peaceful future for the country and protecting the victims of the conflict on whom that future will rest is surely the right way to end the conflict and stop the appalling loss of life."
John Wilks, the British special representative to the Syrian opposition, said that Wednesday's event was neither a donor conference nor a military aid event but rather an effort to set up opposition institutions so that they could effectively use future aid in a credible manner to administer the areas they control.
"The key point is that they are setting up institutions and money is coming, so it's a better situation than three months ago — they are happy, we are happy," he said before the conference began.
In her speech at the conference on the severe humanitarian needs of Syria's people, coalition vice president Suheir Attasi said that they have now created the necessary relief structures on the ground to receive aid, as had been requested by the international community.
Obama's announcement follows his administration's blacklisting of a militant Syrian rebel group with links to al-Qaida. That step is aimed at blunting the influence of extremists.
Fabius, the French minister, said there were differences of opinion among participants over the U.S. move, with a number of Arab countries objecting to the terrorist label and the new Syrian opposition leader pointing out that it was hard to call a group making an important contribution to the fight, terrorists.
The new president of the coalition, Mouaz Khatib, did however condemn "all forms of extremism" in his conference speech, a veiled reference to the jihadi groups operating in the country and he specifically called for reconciliation with the country's Alawite minority from which Assad comes, calling on them to fight with the opposition.
"We call on them to accept the extended hand and work together against the violence of the regime," he said.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was expected to attend the conference, but cancelled following an illness and will be represented by Deputy Secretary of State for the Middle East, William Burns.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Wednesday the recognition contradicted earlier international agreements that foresee the "commencement of an all-Syria dialogue" that would include all sides of the conflict, in which more than 40,000 people have died so far.

Clemson's offense stalled and Georgia got solid contributions from a pair of Dorman brothers to win for the first time in 10 games with a 5-3 victory.
CLEMSON — Clemson had hoped to continue keeping Georgia mired on a long losing skid Wednesday and gain some confidence heading into its upcoming three-game series with undisputed No. 1 North Carolina.
But the Tigers offense stalled and Georgia got solid contributions from a pair of Dorman High School brothers to win for the first time in 10 games with a 5-3 victory. Georgia has lost to the likes of Belmont, Liberty, Kennesaw State, Western Carolina and Georgia Southern this season.
"It was good to break that losing streak and we were all kind of pressing pretty hard there for a while and we all wanted to come out real relaxed," said Bulldogs outfielder and Dorman product Hunter Cole. "Our pitchers did an excellent job, we played great defense and the long ball showed up for us."
Georgia blasted three homers, including a solo shot by Cole (his third this season) leading off the sixth that increased the lead to 3-1. Cole also singled and scored two runs and went a combined 5-for-9 with three RBIs in the two-game series. He was the lone player from either side with multiple hits Wednesday.
"(Zack Erwin) started me off with a changeup and then I was sitting on a fastball and got one a little bit up, put a pretty good swing on it and it carried out," said Hunter, whose brother Dylan pitched a perfect eighth. "We had a lot of family and friends here and it was a great feeling for both of us to get into the game and help contribute to a win which was the best feeling of all."
The Bulldogs (8-17, 0-6 SEC) scored twice in the first off Clemson freshman starter Brody Koerner before adding single runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth. Byrnes product Steven Duggar got Clemson on the board with an RBI single in the third and Jon McGibbon added an RBI single in the sixth. The Tigers totaled only seven hits with nobody getting more than two one night after blasting the Bulldogs 9-1.
"We didn't hit at all and didn't come to play offensively," Clemson coach Jack Leggett said. "We started taking the fastball and weren't aggressive. (Tuesday) night we were a totally different team playing aggressively and tonight we decided to come and try to out-think ourselves, which was disappointing."
Catcher Garrett Bouware added, "We had to battle way too late into the game and didn't give ourselves the opportunities we needed."
Clemson's Clate Schmidt balked home a run in the seventh before being replaced by Byrnes product Joseph Moorefield with one out and nobody on in the eighth. Moorefield threw only one pitch on the evening and Jared Walsh homered to right. Scott Firth pitched a final scoreless 1 2/3 for the Tigers.
Schmidt and Firth have been the Game 2 and 3 weekend starters behind opening ace Daniel Gossett this season, and only threw short relief to help prepare for an extra day off leading to the North Carolina trip.
The Tigers didn't go down lightly as shortstop Tyler Krieger doubled home a run in the ninth before Duggar struck out on a 3-2 fastball with runners at the corners.
"We've just got to get a little tougher mentally," Leggett said. "We have to decide we're going to be aggressive every single night and tonight we decided to let them take the game to us rather than us taking it to them. It's painful, let's put it that way. Unfortunately we didn't have the right mindset and didn't make anything happen."

Inspiration: Old Windows As Space Dividers
Old salvaged windows have seen many re-uses over the years, but this is a personal favorite. Indoors or out, in a retro loft or a coastal cottage, it adds an element of the unexpected to a space that needs a little definition without sacrificing any light...
• 1. I spotted this old window porch divider on a quaint little street in Annapolis.
• 2. There are many things to love about Dave ans Shyla's Los Angeles Loft, but the wall of antique windows dividing the kitchen from the living area is what made my heart skip a beat.
• 3. The suspended salvaged window wall divides the open space into functional zones but also adds to the airy vibe of this coastal hued spa.
• 4. We usually think of using this concept in large open spaces, but April and Keith proved it's jest as useful in the tiny home.
• 5. And how can we not feature Lisa Bonet's iconic window room in High Fidelity?

you can overcelebrate to the point where you are so hung over that you don't want to eat, and that'd be terrible on thanksgiving. so much good stuff and you don't want to be queasy!
