Islamabad—The Senate Standing Committee on National Food Security and Research, Wednesday, observed that import of cotton lint from India via Wagah border was detrimental to the interest of cotton growers in the country and should be immediately stopped. The committee met here with Senator Muzaffar Hussain Shah in the chair and also pointed out that last year's cotton production declined by as much as 30% and if appropriate measures are not taken this year, the country will see decline in cotton production.
The committee observed that there were sufficient stocks with the Trading Corporation of Pakistan, there is no justification for import. Federal Minister for National food security and research Sikandar Hayat Bosan fully endorsed the view that the import via Wagah should be immediately stopped. The committee requested the ministry of Commerce to consider this recommendation on priority basis. The committee was also told that the agriculture minister of Punjab has requested the federal government to fix intervention price for cotton. The committee fully endorsed this point and recommended that the same may be done as early as possible as the new crop is likely to come by the end of June.
The minister told the meeting that the plant breeders Rights (Amendment) Bill, 2015 will be passed shortly by the National Assembly. The committee noted that after the passage of the bill, it has been pointed out that many outlets especially of cotton seed are not being checked for quality. The committee also observed that the scarcity of staff offices of the department who have the responsibility to check the seed is leading to problems in seed certification. The ministry was asked to come up with proposals on how to ensure good quality seeds for farmers.
The committee also directed that tractors should also be included in the compulsory list of vehicles, which conferred the authority to ministry of science and technology to check the standards of vehicles for agriculture. It was also said that for purpose of authentic information, it is necessary to have a laboratory affiliated with Pakistan National Accreditation Council to check compatibility of vehicles with international standards. ZTBL and KSSL told the committee that they are in the process of completing the exercise of recruitment on merit which will be completed by the end of this month. MD KSSL wasa directed to be in a position to brief the committee about the process. MD PASSCO was also directed totake necessary steps to ensure that new centres in Tando Muhammad Khan, UmerKot, Sanghar, Mir Pur Khaas for wheat procurement are notified by the Government of Sindh.

Williamsburg is in all its glory this weekend. While the Autumn leaves have yet to change, ain't no thing because the winds of change have come on strong. Look no further than to a handful of designers and creators who make the market their home base as they took pains this week to revamp and overhaul their spaces - among them, a gritty combat zone home to Astali and a mind-blowing new milieu for Caitlin Brubacher's Elephant in the Attic slash Burnt & Mended. Good things come in small packages. Among the many ideas of design for living, No5 Handwork shows off their Japanese style to the home crowd. Handmade and original bags, pouches and cases that would give the Portlandia crew of writers a serious run for their money. Saturday only
Kapoeta by Ambica is designer Ambica Shah's remixed line of feather and leather, salvaging malted feathers collected from bird sanctuaries and abandoned gardens throughout India and turning them into the super au courant fashion accessory. Saturday & Sunday
Love Bleeds. So true, so true. But it doesn't necessarily need to hurt. Artist Tiffany Rodriguez proves the point with a collection of cult-like cool jewels using vintage materials, beads and charms. One-of-a-kind kind of things for lovers of all things original and indie. Saturday only
The name says it all when the folks from Style Addicts roll in this Saturday. Handmade leather bags born of an aesthetic modern, clean, and for the, ahem, style addicted. Saturday only
From time to time, an artist whose medium is floral design comes to town and it sets the market on fire. There's something about fresh-cut flowers and floral arrangements that - when done right - can be intoxicating for all. Susan Margolis' Rosewood Productions bring that promise. But they won't just have you smelling roses. Saturday & Sunday

Escalation Sees Itu Aba Allocated Howitzers
Poster:Brice Edelman ╱ Post date:2017-07-25
Region:(Regional Issues)
Issue:(South China Sea Disputes)
(Taipei Times, By Lo Tien-pin and Jonathan Chin) The military has given the Coast Guard Administration six howitzers which it is holding in reserve for deployment on Itu Aba Island if more firepower is needed to bolster the island's defenses, a defense official said. Itu Aba is the largest naturally occurring landmass in the Spratly Islands, some or all of which are also claimed by China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines. The most significant military threat to Itu Aba is Vietnam's military occupation of Sandy Cay, which lies 13km from the island, according to the official.

To be effective, a business process must meet the needs and expectations of the customer. The customer of a business process may be an internal customer (e.g., another department within the organization) or an external customer. The effectiveness indicators of a business process measure the quality of the business process.
There are several indicators available to measure the effectiveness of the business process. The effectiveness indicator is usually assigned a scale, with ratings on the scale from unacceptable to outstanding. Effectiveness indicators differ from process to process. When selecting the indicators, look at all the activities within the process, remembering that the objective is to meet the customer requirements.
The customers of the process may be internal or external to the organization. Gather information from the customers using one of the Data Gathering techniques. Information can also be found by examining such things as:
· customer complaints,
· warranty costs,
· market share,
· backlog of work,
· rework of product,
· number of rejects,
· incomplete output,
· existing customer surveys.
Examples of Effectiveness Indicators
Customers' expectations can be rated based on their opinions of the product and/or service with respect to the:
· appearance of the product, staff, facility, or equipment,
· timeliness of the service,
· responsiveness of the staff to customer queries and/or concerns,
· courtesy of the staff,
· reliability of the product, service, or staff,
· durability of the product,
· dependability of the product, service, or staff,
· performance of the product, service, or staff,
· accuracy of the product, service, or staff.

Sensory Sensitivities and Chiropractic Care
Author // Janaiah von Hassel
Sensory processing disorder is an impairment in detecting, modulating or responding to sensory stimuli. In other words, the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves) are not working properly. Misalignments of the spine, called subluxations, can cause this malfunction in how the brain interprets the sensory intake, and for my son, that's exactly what was happening.
I remember one day in particular where I was at a loss for how to help my son. He had fallen and gotten hurt and as he ran to me crying with his arms outreached for the security of his mother's arms, he recoiled in utter dismay at the impact of my touch. He pulled away and sitting like a ball on the ground he would reach for me but pull away the moment I touched him. It was as if my touch were needles to his skin. I sat next to him and together we cried.
While the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) does not include SPD as a standalone disorder, many therapists and parents are exploring its significant effects on adolescents.
I will be the first to admit that labeling those whose sensitivities or tolerances do not fit the norm is hardly helpful. There are times when it seems that we over-label and over-respond to the many challenges of childhood. However, for many children, an inability to properly integrate their sensory intake can range from mildly annoying to downright devastating.
My son would easily gag from certain textures of food. He was always pulling off clothing, and he screamed through his diaper changes. His world was a hostile environment, and there was no escaping it. He would wake up crying and shaking as his body tried to adjust to its surroundings. Any change in temperature was upsetting to him, loud noises were bothersome, bright lights intolerable, and he became self-injurious in his attempts to escape what he interpreted as an overwhelming and painful world.
For any parent dealing with a sensory sensitive child, the idea of chiropractic care can seem unfathomable. A parent may wonder how a child who can hardly bare to be touched could tolerate a chiropractic adjustment, and yet for everything we had attempted in the past to help my son with sensory issues, chiropractic was the least invasive and by far the most effective.
When my son began receiving regular chiropractic care, I immediately saw an improvement in his ability to process his senses. Our chiropractor explained that my son had been in a chronic state of fight or flight-- a physiological reaction to perceived harm.
After my son's first week of regular care, we were already seeing a calm come over him, and after three months of chiropractic care, his ability to determine the threat of his surroundings based on his sensory intake was completely rehabilitated.
I watched with stark amazement, as my son became a better eater, started playing in the dirt, was happy to jump in mud puddles, and got dressed with ease and comfort. It felt like my son was given the world, and I was given back my son who now cuddles with joy and ease.
The Journal of Pediatric Maternal and Family Health reports that chiropractic care improves sensory processing disorder (volume 2012-issue 4-page99108) and hundreds of case studies support its claims. Not all children react the same to sensory integration issues. For some children their nervous system is under-reactive, and for others it may be over-reactive, as it was for my son. Some children experience a mix of both extremes, but this is often the body's response to spinal misalignment and can easily be improved under chiropractic care.
Our minds and bodies are incredible, and when functioning properly, we interpret thousands of messages through the nervous system every second. When that system is out of balance, it's easy to imagine that the messages can get distorted.
I have since encouraged many of my friends whose children suffered from SPD to seek chiropractic care, and I have seen repeatedly the power that the body has to adjust and adapt to its surroundings when interference is removed.

10 Reasons Why Parents Take Healthy Children to Chiropractors
Many are starting to wonder why more and more kids are starting to be under regular Chiropractic care. For some, this may sound mysterious, but for others who understand what Chiropractic care provides for children, they realize it is much more than fixing back pain.
According to world renowned Chiropractor and author, Dr. Jennifer Barham- Floreani, "The nervous system is the master controller of our body and if its communication channels become fuzzy, distorted or damaged then we may experience all sorts of communication errors. For babies this ineffective communication may play out as colic or irritability, an inability to suckle and breastfeed or poor sleep habits. For a child poor nerve communication may result in developmental delays, an inability to concentrate, behavioural problems, digestive issues, asthma, headaches – the list is endless."
How can your child's body lose its natural alignment and develop subluxations? Studies have shown that in the majority of cases, trauma (often unrecognized) from the birthing process or procedures causes subluxation of the infant's spine. Subluxation damage can be caused by a constricted uterus, a breech presentation or a difficult delivery, and in cases of vacuum extraction or excessive force, the spine is always traumatized. Health problems in childhood or even adulthood have been traced back to spinal and structural damage at birth in many cases.
Abraham Towbin, MD states: "The birth process … is potentially a traumatic, crippling event … mechanical stress imposed by obstetrical manipulation-even the application of standard orthodox procedures may prove intolerable to the fetus … most signs of neonatal injury observed in the delivery room are neurological."
Research is confirming chiropractors' observations that infants may suffer from spinal subluxations. In one study, 1,250 babies were examined five days after birth; 211 of them suffered from vomiting, hyperactivity and sleeplessness. Subluxations were found in 95% of this group. Although the researchers in this study were MDs, they recognized the power of chiropractic care and these babies were given the care they needed. The spinal adjustment "frequently resulted in immediate quieting, cessation of crying, muscular relaxation and sleepiness." The authors noted that an unhealthy spine causes "many clinical features from central motor impairment to lowered resistance to infections- especially ear, nose and throat infections." The above study discusses an 18-month-old boy suffering from tonsillitis, frequent enteritis, therapy-resistant conjunctivitis, frequent colds, earache and increasing sleeping problems. He received a chiropractic spinal adjustment. The child demanded to be put to bed and slept peacefully until morning. His health returned to normal. One wonders, what would have happened to this child if he never had chiropractic care? A life of antibiotics and other medications? A life of continued sickness?
The authors of the above-mentioned study concluded that a chiropractic spinal checkup "should be obligatory after every difficult birth" and any spinal stress "should be … adjusted … the success of adjustment overshadows every other type of care."
According to the Chiropractic pediatric specialist Larry Webster, DC, there are six times in a baby's first year of life when chiropractic examinations are especially important:
- After the birth process.
- When the baby starts to hold his/her head up.
- When the baby sits up.
- When the baby starts to crawl.
- When the baby starts to stand.
- When the baby starts to walk.
Toddlerhood through childhood is a very "physical" time. Those first hesitant steps soon evolve into jumping, running, falls and accidents which are all part of a normal childhood. While most falls are minor, at times they can cause nerve-damaging subluxations with serious long-term consequences. For that reason all children need periodic spinal check-ups.
What are the Benefits of Chiropractic for Kids?
Over many decades parents, clinicians, and researchers have noticed positive changes in behavioral, physical, and emotional health of children under chiropractic care. Many different behavioral conditions have been observed to improve with chiropractic care including ADD/ADHD, anxiety, and also focus, concentration, and grades in school.
Since the nerves collectively control and influence all bodily functions, removing nerve interference may result in improvement of many different health problems depending on the area of the spine and nervous system involved. Improvement is commonly seen in conditions such as colic, constipation, ear infections, allergies, asthma, sinus infections, persistent bed wetting, stomach aches, "growing pains" in the legs or arms, headaches, back and neck pain, scoliosis, and abnormal gait among others.
What's the Best Reason to Have Your Kids Under Regular Chiropractic Care?
We believe that the best reason to do any health related activity is for wellness and prevention. And it is easier to grow healthy children than to repair damaged adults. Life is so much better when your children never seem to get sick or have health problems than when you are routinely going from appointment to appointment constantly treating the symptoms of ill health.
It is not unusual to hear parents state that since starting chiropractic care their children get sick less frequently and less severely, have less ear infections, and take less antibiotics and other drugs than their classmates. Our vision is to use chiropractic today for a better world tomorrow. Starting from birth, remove interference to the body's inborn ability to heal itself and allow children to reach their health potential throughout their life.
10 Reasons Parents Take Their Children to See a Chiropractor
- To encourage good neural plasticity (brain and nerve development).
- To support "first-class" nerve communication throughout the body to promoting health and wellbeing.
- To help strengthen their child's immunity – encouraging fewer colds, ear-aches and general illness.
- To help resolve breastfeeding issues and colic.
- To reduce the detrimental impact our modern world has on our children's health.
- Encourages children to thrive by supporting digestive strength.
- To diminish nerve interference which may impact their child's capacity to learn and concentrate.
- To promote body balance – helping to resolve poor posture, asthma, allergies and bed-wetting..
- To help kids stay fun and light hearted.
- To help kids stay in tip-top shape.

Grand Opening!!!!
We had a great celebration this past Saturday (Oct 24th), we opened our doors to existing and future practice members to celebrate our grand opening. We had the opportunity to share the power of chiropractic, and also play some fun challenges to see how their neurospinal systems were functioning and determine "What's your number."
We actually had the opportunity today to do a reexam on one of our practice members and she was able to improve her number from a 2 out 5 (lots of interference in her neurospinal system) to a 4 out of 5. A significant reduction in the interference within her master computer or neurospinal system. This neurospinal system controls and coordinates every cell, tissue, organ, and function within her body! Just like in your body. In just a short amount of time we were able to improve the communication within her body, reducing stress and allowing her body to function and HEAL in the manner it was designed, from the inside out.
We had a lot of fun with everyone and are grateful to have the opportunity to serve all of you, the city of Centennial, the state of Colorado, and the world beyond.
New Office Space
We are moving into a new office by the end of August. We look forward to serving you in our new location.
New Address is 6551 S. Revere Parkway Suite 110 Centennial, CO 80111

On June 5, 2015 Governor Mead and Treasurer Gordon along with House Member Lummis and Senator Barasso made a short tour through Black Tooth Brewing in Sheridan. Black Tooth is running through the final stages of a massive upgrade in facility capacity – where they are moving from around 2500 bbls per year to 15,000 to meet market demand.
Sheridan recognizes that the quality of our community depends on diverse economic sectors – Craft Brewing is growing regionally and nationally. Equally so, the addition of high caliber brewing capacity works as a both a local draw and as a stopping point for tourists – thus complementing our efforts as a destination.
It is important to understand that State and Federal elected leaders are accessible and enjoy Sheridan.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The value of building permits issued in Canada unexpectedly fell in March but plans for housing construction inched higher after a steep fall in February, according to Statistics Canada data released on Wednesday.
Builders took out $6.0 billion ($5.5 billion) worth of permits in the month, down 3 percent from February and defying market forecasts for a 4.3 percent increase. Statscan revised the February figures to show a 11.3 percent decline in permits versus 11.6 percent.
The value of residential permits climbed 1 percent but remained considerably lower than the record-high in January and in most of 2013 because of a 20.8 percent slide in February. Construction intentions for multi-family dwellings rose 7.9 percent while those for single-family homes fell 3.6 percent.
The strength in housing was not enough to offset a 8.8 percent decrease in permits for non-residential projects. The value of permits for institutional and industrial buildings fell while it rose for the commercial component.
On a year-on-year basis, the total value of permits was down 5.5 percent, with the residential component up 1.0 percent and the non-residential component down 14.2 percent.

Well, it's been a while since I last updated GoC with life getting in the way and GoC getting put well and truly on the backburner. I hoping now life is sorting itself out, I'll be able to start getting sections added.
A big plus is that with my new job, I've got net access at dinner time and I eat my lunch at my desk, so theoretically, I've got five hours a week of dead time that I can dedicate to GoC, and so that's the plan. The other advantage of my new job is that I've got access to a wealth of design and publishing tools, which means in the future, I can look at publishing a pdf version of GoC.
So, good times ahead, keep your eyes peeled for more sections coming soon.

This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Leinenkugel's Beer Garten Tart.
After living 46+ years without trying a Tart Ale, I have now experienced three this month (see review of New Belgium Fat Tire and Friends Fat Sour Apple Ale here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2016/08/sunday-night-suds-new-belgium-fat-sour.html and Boulevard Tell Tale Tart Ale here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2016/08/sunday-night-suds-boluevard-tell-tale.html).
The Leinenkugel bottle notes that this beer "starts out with a snap of tartness balanced by a subtle sweetness from pale malts. It's our take on a Berliner Weisse, a classic German biergarten summer favorite. Brewed with American wheat, BeerGarten Tart's light body and refreshing finish are perfect for warm summer days."
The beer poured a rich yellow with some foam which quickly dissipated. There was some tartness in the beginning which quickly evolved into lemon and made me think shandy (not such a pleasant experience). The tart was somewhat subtle, but the hops were non-existent and the malt backbone was basically the only redeeming quality of the beer. I thought I had made a score when I picked up this six pack for 4.99 at the Big M in Walton (best walk-in cooler for at least fifty miles in all directions) but now I am wondering how I will finish off the rest of the six pack. Don't get me wrong, this is is not sink quality beer, but the flavors of this sour just don't make me want to have another.
Leinenkugel Beer Garten Tart is certified kosher by the Orthodox Union, and has an OU on the label. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about this brew, please follow this link beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/710/207484.
If you've tried this beer or any others which have been reviewed on the kosher beers site, please feel free to post your comments (anonymous comments are acceptable).
If you are reading this post more than six months after it was written, please note that it is possible that the product is no longer still certified kosher. To verify that the product is still certified kosher, please click on the kosher beers list link on the top left corner of the blog.

Polyester sees John Waters send up and celebrate suburban life, as well as taking barbed swipes at religious extremists, soap operas, Alcoholics Anonymous and foot fetishists. It also features one of the most memorable cinematic gimmicks since the glory days of über huckster William Castle.
Housewife Francine Fishpaw is watching her life crumble around her. Husband Elmer is having an affair with his secretary, her promiscuous daughter is two months pregnant, her son is a juvenile delinquent, she feels like she is a bad daughter to her own mother, and the only way she can cope with all of this is by hitting the bottle. So far, so standard melodrama. But scratch beneath the surface of that synopsis and a completely different world appears, twisted and rebuilt through the combination of a low budget and a uniquely camp and warped sensibility. Francine is played by mega sized drag queen Divine, her husband is owner of the local X-rated cinema, her daughter is a perpetual motion go-go dancing machine, her son is a foot fetish freak known as the Baltimore Stomper, and her mom is a coke sniffing bully and thief.
The core of the film is a parody of melodramatic soap operas, and many of the plot twists and turns are not much more convoluted than appear in those. As well as mocking the sort of problems that characters in soap operas face, Waters also mocks the simplistic solutions of the genre. The son comes straight out of a few months' probation, as a clean, sober and law abiding citizen, channelling his foot fetish into his art, while the daughter discovers macramé and becomes a mellow peace loving hippy – all of which is interesting, considering that Waters has long had a second career teaching in prison.
Unlike the subject matter, the cinematography and shot composition is often quite flat, which may be a consequence of the low budget, but it may also be a deliberate choice, as a counterpoint to the outré subject matter. There is also a wonderful eye for detail, such as the importance of the home or the obsession with brand names.
On it's release Polyester came to cinemas with the added bonus of ODORAMA.
This has roots in the eye catching audience enticing novelties of the likes of William Castle and his penchant for getting the audience to experience to some extent what is going on in the film, as well as a short lived gimmick called Smell-O-Vision. Smell-O-Vision was a system that released smells during the showing of the one film associated with it, a crime flick called Scent of Mystery. With ODORAMA (as explained by a Dr Quackenshaw during an hilarious short prologue) audiences are given a scratch-and-sniff card with ten distinct numbered odours. When the appropriate number is displayed on screen, you scratch the matching one on the card and get a nose full of whatever Francine is inhaling at that time. However it is not just an empty ploy as smells are a recurring theme throughout Polyester, at times driving the plot and the shock revelations, as well as some of the gags.
Even without ODORAMA the film is never dull, with some great throwaway gags (my favourite: the Drive-In cinema showing nothing but art house films, with Champagne and Caviar on sale in the lobby), references to Waters' cultural obsessions such as Patty Hearst and the Manson Family, and a soundtrack by the likes of Debbie Harry and Michael Kamen.
The star of the show is, of course, Divine, who pulls off the rare trick of making an unbelievable character seem, if not totally believable, then largely sympathetic. Along with the star, the supporting roles are played by members of the "Dreamlanders", the troupe of oddballs, misfits and actors used by Waters for as long as he has been making films. Edith Massey holds her own amongst the histrionics as Cuddles Kovinsky, the wealthy, simple minded, eternally cheerful best friend of Francine, while Mink Stole puts in a striking turn as the adulterous secretary. Outside of the regulars, 50's heartthrob Tab Hunter makes a noteworthy appearance as Todd Tomorrow, the too-good-to-be-true beau who appears in Francine's life, just when she needs him most.
More than three decades after its release, Polyester, still manages to be hilarious and transgressive, and, like Dr Quackenshaw says, "…some odours may shock you, but […] some things in life just plain stink"

The former school in the center of Rutland known as the Primary Building is being eyed as a new location for town offices. At a meeting on Saturday, selectmen met with a designer to discuss some of the issues of retrofitting the building to accommodate employees.
But not so fast.
Some employees are raising real concerns about the proposed move, including the matter of personal safety in the relatively remote parking lot, the building's air quality, and the fate of Community Hall. Those concerns, they say, are unchanged since July 2007 when they sent memos to the select board specifying the issues.
Saturday's meeting made sense in that the designer needs more information to properly plot out appropriate spaces for town departments. Certainly, a full appraisal of department needs is essential before a layout is finalized.
The Primary Building gives the town some breathing room to relieve crowded facilities. But officials must be sure the conversion process is collaborative, and that they respond seriously to the observations being made by the folks who will be working in those town offices for the years and decades to come.

Love it or hate it, James Cameron has inundated the world with his Avatar universe. Despite there being some years between the release of the first movie (2009), there are two sequels already in the works scheduled to release in 2017 and 2018, with a fourth film planned for some unknown point in the future. There's also Avatar Land, an atmospheric reproduction of the Avatar-verse coming to Disney World's: Animal Kingdom. The latter park expansion has been right on schedule and that's more than can be said for Avatar as a film property. As it stands now Avatar 2 is still in pre-production with no official release date. Avatar Land, however, as recently announced by Disney, will open summer 2017.
Atop of the Avatar Land's expected summer opening, a new video has also surfaced showing off an animatronic character. The video has been making away around the net, both for how hyper-realistic and incredibly unsettling it is.
With Disney's official opening window, came new details on some of the rides and attractions. Among them, The World of Avatar ride. The ride itself will see guests float down a river in Pandora that will end in a bioluminescent rainforest. Once there, the riders will be greeted by this Shaman of Songs character. Below is a 16-second clip showing off this Shaman of Song, who is described as a "revered member of the Na'vi people of Pandora"…
That is, without question, one hell of an impressive animatronic – it looks so realistic. Crazy!
There is not much else revealed about the ride but some speculation can be made about the slide at the end of the above clip. The advertisement for Alpha Centauri Expeditions "bringing you to Pandora" seems to indicate a setup for the ride will be similar to Star Tours, where tourists are brought into the world of Pandora and much like Star Wars, have their trip go into unexpected chaos.
For those that aren't the biggest fans of Avatar and can't really understand why Disney needs to make a land out of it, it cannot be denied that the technology and development in this park, will be incredible.

Tarek Odom has heard about his size his whole life.
In Pop Warner football, he was too big to play. In high school, it was that Odom was too small to play in college. Every time someone talked about Odom, a senior at St. Augustine High School, it came with an asterisk.
At 5-foot-10 and 255 pounds, Odom was a tweener of a defensive tackle in the eyes of major college recruiters. And fullback? Who even recruits those anymore?
But after an amazing 13-1 season where Odom, The St. Augustine Record St. Johns County Player of the Year, led on both sides of the ball, there's just one question left.
How can a college afford to pass him up?
The quiet kid from St. Augustine spent his final season going about his business on the football field, dominating on the defensive side of the ball and then becoming the X-factor in the Yellow Jackets offense. So convincing was Odom during St. Augustine's run to the state semifinals that those recruiters who paid little attention to the undersized defensive lineman are now very interested in him as a major college football fullback.
Five days after playing his final high school game in Tampa, where he rushed for a career-high 129 yards and two touchdowns, Odom hosted recruiters from Sugar Bowl participant Arkansas. There's been some interest from Florida State, and Florida even stopped by to gauge Odom's interest.
After two years of hearing coaches in the county talk up Odom, it seemed as if those outside the immediate area had taken notice.
"He's going to get somebody a (pay) raise," said Nease coach Danny Cowgill, whose team scored just six points in two seasons against an Odom-led defense. "You just can't tell me that a kid like that can't play (major college football)."
Questions, questions and more questions about his size. Odom has been faced with them for as long as he can remember. And if Odom wasn't so determined to do things his way, he could've easily just walked away amid the adversity.
As a heavier kid growing up, Odom was often the biggest among his peers, and that created an issue when it came to athletics. When Odom first expressed an interest in playing Pop Warner football in sixth grade, his mother, Glenda McDowell, took him to the facility to register.
Getting on the field never happened.
Since youth football is separated by weight, and Odom was heavier than the permissible Pop Warner limits, he was forced to wait and try again the following year. But the same thing kept happening. Odom was over the weight limit and missed out playing Pop Warner football nearly his entire childhood. McDowell said that both she and Odom both left in tears each time that Tarek was rejected because of the weight limit.
But that also did something else to Odom. It made him target high school football as his launching point.
"He would cry, I would cry," McDowell said. "I went two years with him and after the seventh grade year, I said 'I'm not taking him back this year.' Every time we leave I'm crying. It was very discouraging. Every year we'd go for Pop Warner .. he was 15-20 pounds over (the limit).
"When we would go for Pop Warner (tryouts), he'd say 'I got three years to high school.' The next year, he'd say 'I've got two years to high school.' "
The following year, Odom was permitted to play Police Athletic League football in a newly created division for players who were beyond the weight limits. McDowell said Odom made an impact so quickly in his lone season of youth football that coaches were raving about the play of a 250-pound eighth grader to members of St. Augustine's coaching staff.
St. Augustine was loaded with future college stars on the 2007 team and rode those players to the Class 3A state championship game against Naples. Odom, then a 260-pound freshman, played on the varsity team in spots, including in the 17-10 title game loss. He had a tackle and a hit on the quarterback.
Just being out on the field in high school was a treat for Odom, who still counts some of his first practice snaps with the varsity team as a freshman as some of his most memorable in high school.
"I knew he was going to be a pretty good player as a freshman in the state championship game in 2007," said St. Augustine coach Joey Wiles. "And probably if I was smarter, we would've used him more than what we did."
By the time his junior season came to an end, Odom, at 5-8 and 290 pounds, had become such a force that his stats alone forced colleges to look at him. But if recruiters made it through his highlight tape, Odom had to face another obstacle about his size -- his height.
The prototypical down lineman in college is roughly no shorter than 6 feet tall, and Odom was a few inches under that gold standard for recruiters to pay him any serious attention. Stats, production and high motor aside, Odom just didn't warrant the serious looks that coaches felt he should because he was lacking a few inches vertically.
"You'll see some recruiter take a guy an inch or two taller because he's an inch or two taller but couldn't stand toe to toe with Tarek," Wiles said.
Mike Loyd, who coached in Oklahoma before taking the coaching job at Ponte Vedra, said Odom was as much of a game-changer as players he saw who went on to play in the NFL.
"I coached against (Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle Gerald McCoy) and he didn't cause me as many problems as Odom did," he said. "I got to see (McCoy) for four years, and to me, high-school wise, Odom is every bit as good as (McCoy). Sounds crazy, but he is."
Cowgill, who's coached an assortment of major college defensive players, including two on this season's Panthers team, said that he's heard the size knock on Odom, too. But he's not buying it because he's seen Odom play for three years and seen him improve immensely from season to season.
"I tell recruiters all the time, in my eyes, he's a can't-miss kid," Cowgill said. "If you don't want to play him at defensive line, you can make him your fullback. Or you can put him on a diet and you'll have the next (Washington Redskins linebacker) London Fletcher. He's the best player that I saw this year, on film or in person."
Bartram Trail coach Darrell Sutherland, whose team faced Odom four times over the past two seasons, said that he was a factor in every game because of his ability to change a play at the line of scrimmage and hold his own against constant double teams.
"The first word that comes to mind is just explosive, every time we played them, there were two or three game-changing type plays that he made a game," Sutherland said. "The interception he had against us last year, the big run this year ... two or three of those big plays every game. (He's) almost another YouTube sensation waiting to happen."
Odom's dream of playing offense came to the surface before the season started. After a summer of leisure around the area's beaches, Odom returned to practice in the best condition of his life. He didn't go into the offseason with a plan to lose weight, it kind of just happened. And when Odom saw how much better he felt after shedding 35 pounds, he decided to do what he could to control it. He cut out a lot of the junk foods and stopped drinking as much soda, substituting them for healthier options.
"Just being in shape so I could actually play," Odom said. "I was not tired as much as I was. I didn't try to (lose weight). When I got down, I kind of kept it down."
Odom lost weight but didn't drop an ounce of strength. Wiles said that Odom, the state's Class 2A weight lifting champion, actually seemed stronger than he had been. And that led to an idea that the coaching staff came up with before the season began.
The Yellow Jackets were going to grant Odom his wish that he came to St. Augustine with and put him in to the offense.
"That's how we went in to the season, thinking we were going to need him when it got down to playing the Bartrams and Clays, Pensacolas and Jeffersons," Wiles said. "We knew we would probably need him."
After losing The Record's 2009 top player Duane Brady to graduation, the St. Augustine backfield wasn't in the condition that it needed to be in. Running backs Timmy Lewis and Jerry Blount were the expected starters, but there was little to no depth behind them. So Odom was tabbed, albeit in an almost unofficial capacity, as the St. Augustine fullback.
Too small to play defense in college, that's the tag Odom has heard all about. But how about too good to pass up as a fullback? That's the simmering buzz that Odom's dynamic season has created, too. Odom's offensive contributions in the state playoffs planted him smack dab in the middle of the college football recruiting radar. If there was a crucial play in the postseason, Odom was likely involved in some capacity.
He ruined Bartram's season in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, ripping off a 30-yard run on a second-and-8 that took St. Augustine out of a danger zone and enabled the Yellow Jackets to drain the clock in a 16-15 win. He also had both St. Augustine touchdowns in that game.
"His balance is what's really impressive," Sutherland said. "He takes a hit and spins, stays balanced and accelerates again. Guys that size aren't supposed to be able to do those things."
Odom ripped Pensacola in the regional finals for 112 yards and the game-winning touchdown in a 7-3 victory, then gashed Tampa Jefferson for a career-high 129 yards and a pair of scores on just 11 carries. Odom had a pair of 40-yard runs in those games, shooing away defenders with stiff-arms and 360-degree turns that became hallmarks of big Odom runs. He finished with 12 touchdowns and a 7.2-yard rushing average; on defense, he had 30 tackles for a loss and six sacks.
"He's not a slow kid at 250 pounds, he showed that against Pensacola and then against Jefferson," Wiles said. "He was running with their fast kids."
The added exposure that the state playoffs brought didn't change Odom a bit.
His best games of the season came over the final four weeks, and Odom wanted to compete in those games the same way he had in the three prior.
For all of Odom's accomplishments, his two dozen career sacks, his dozen rushing touchdowns, his guillotine-like backfield tackles, he didn't want the notoriety that accompanied it.
So, Odom decided to play the part of a company guy and never wanted to be quoted on the record after games.
After icing a 16-15 win over Bartram Trail in the opening round of the state playoffs, Odom was asked to talk. No thanks, he said. When Odom became the first running back to go over 100 yards against Pensacola in more than a year, he politely deferred. It was something Odom did throughout his career because he wasn't comfortable taking the spotlight away from his teammates.
"I just felt that all the other players did a good job and could talk instead of me," Odom said. "I didn't really want to say anything (so his teammates could)."
McDowell said that her son has been that way his entire life, low-key and avoiding the spotlight at all costs. Wiles said that's just Odom, one of the most humble kids that he's ever coached.
"Just a great person. He's a kid who loves his mom, loves his family. He's one of those special kids that don't come around a whole lot in your career," Wiles said. "He is just the perfect football player, he practices hard, he plays both sides of the ball, he's got great character and good grades. I mean, what else can you ask for?"
Maybe just one thing -- a chance.
"I'm still kind of sitting back and waiting," Odom said about his college choice. "I don't mind where I play (fullback or defense).
"I just want to play college football."

1990 Nissan 240SX 2 Dr SE HatchbackReview
1990 Nissan 240sx / S13 — I love being able to choose from a whole line of engines including the KA24, SR20, RB20, RB25, RB26, RB30, 1JZ, and 2JZ. And I can choose from a number of suspension parts from the Silvia line or GTR line. Overall it's just a great project car and an even better drive.
Pros: Tons of choices
Cons: Kinda old and hard to come by

1990 Nissan 240SX 2 Dr SE HatchbackReview
Awesome First Car. — I would venture to say that the 240sx is the best bang for your buck out there, if you're looking for a straight up tuner project. I got mine for a steal ($2k w/84k miles), and it already had almost all the bolt-on's I could fit. Parts were super cheap, all the maintenance was done by me (first car-ownership experience) and even though it wasn't as reliable as my current car (Lexus), I drove it extremely hard and it handled the abuse well. Plus, it was the hatchback model so I had tons of trunk space. Overall, for the amount of fun I had with the car, I'd say it was worth every penny.
Pros: Great handling, cheap parts, plenty of cargo space, decent gas mileage, loads of fun to drive.
Cons: Moderate maintenance, lots of road noise, bumpy ride, cheap interior, poor wet/snow traction.

1990 Nissan 240SX 2 Dr XE CoupeReview
The Sports Car That Could — Very affordable and a nice sports car for the young age. With its simplicity it is very stress free to work with. It is just that with cars these age they rust alot unless it has been rustproofed by the previous owner every year. This car is known for drifting and thats what many people buy this car for, if you choose to do that make sure you have some sort of limited slip differential or danger will happen.
Pros: It is RWD
Cons: It is known to rust alot.

PADDY NASH & The HAPPY ENCHILADAS: "Laughter & Love"
Label: MadMollyRecords 2015
Review by: Urban "Wally" Wallstrom
From a religious place where they praise ancient Gods such as George Best (RIP) and Van Morrison, The Good Friday Agreement was a major step in the peace process. 'Laughter & Love', by Paddy Nash and The Happy Enchiladas, the next natural step in the whole coming together as one nation under two Gods (Best AND Van the Man). The band from Northern Ireland gives the first impression of a happy family and the honest folks with no worries in the world. However, it's proper craftsmanship and songwriting that touches all kind of subjects from loneliness, minorities, to songs about travel as well as the odd nonsense track.
I have a soft spot for singer/songwriter music and this follows in the grand N.I. tradition of plenty of fun acts. Probably the best to come out of Northern Ireland since the latest effort by Bap Kennedy. The very first thing you'll notice? The harmonies are coming at ya' like flies on a picnic basket. Injecting a bittersweet after taste to their material, the seven-piece exude passion and an intensity that express honesty and invariability. Paddy was in fact a founding member of the award winning Folk Rock outfit The Whole Tribe Sings, and The Happy Enchiladas consists of Diane Greer (vocals, percussion), Liam McGuigan (guitar, harmonica), Jonny Nutt (bass), Rory Donaghy (guitars), Eddie O'Donnell (piano, organ) and John Spence (drums). They are all important to the overall sound picture. For instance, Paddy and Diane are both singing lead and duets.
"Happiness is a hard old place to find. Some people have been searching all their lives. That moment when you think that you've arrived. And you're last in line". I nearly started to cry as I heard the lyric to "Last In Lane", the instant classic of the genre as well as the introspective journey. Superb track with the sweet harmonica. There was a time when we were "Brave", now we turn and look the other way. The silent majority is the real problem today. "Wish", the excellent mid/uptempo track and the likes of Jackson Browne and Van Morrison would be darn proud to be mentioned in the same sentence.
The old Country shines through in "Cliches". "Adam & Evan", the political correct as well as every thinking person's tune about same sex marriage, but the song itself, in my humble opinion one of the worst tracks on the record with its honky-tonk and be-bop sound. "The Sunshine Blues", similar to the country/blues which the man-in-black used to perform. Closing track of "Stop Me From Dreaming" goes through several different stages of uptempo guitar rock inspired by the likes of Neil Young/Springsteen with harmonica and the excellent hook and sing-a-long refrain. Extra kudos to wee lass Greer (Alyssa) for her vocal performance.
'Somebody once said my music is like 'A Poor Man's Springsteen' I like that'. There's no need for that actually, this singer/songwriter is a good Paddy Nash, and that's not too shabby. Effectual story telling with boots to match... and music.

Hi Janine
I just realise in what a "small" world we live. Friends of us in CT looked after the children in Franschoek that weekend. Dont know if you met them..precious couple with such an awesome testimonies. They've got 9 babies waiting for them in heaven. After adopting a son, were blessed with a fourth pregnancy and their son is almost a year now. So after so much pain blessed with 5 children. Merinda will always be such an awesome woman to me. When I saw you were in Franschoek on fb and really hoped you meet Merinda. Anyway my friend there's many days that I hold my Daniel and ache in my heart for you. Today was one of them!

Wow Annelie, I am amazed at what your friend has gone through. We never took our kids with us, so we never got the opportunity to meet your friend. I would loved to have met her. So precious to hear how God has walked through healing and restoration with them.

CENTRAL ISLIP, NY - The Somerset Patriots (4-5, 46-33) earned a series-victory over the Long Island Ducks (4-6, 40-40) Sunday evening with a 3-2 win at Bethpage Ballpark.
The Patriots jumped out to an early 2-0 lead to begin the ballgame. Alfredo Rodriguez scored on a wild pitch in the first to open the scoring before Carlos Guzman (3) added a solo home run to right-center field in the second, doubling the Somerset lead.
Adam Donachie later entered the ballgame as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning and proceeded to rip an RBI double down the left field line to increase the Patriots' lead to 3-0. Long Island rallied for two runs on RBI doubles from Marc Krauss and Ruben Gotay in the ninth inning, but the rally ended there.
Somerset starting pitcher Lucas Irvine (6-2) allowed just one hit over six scoreless innings to earn the win. The second-year Patriot struck out five and retired 11 of the final 12 batters he faced.
"I just feel more comfortable, staying back and mixing it up on the mound," said Irvine after the game. "A month and a half ago we tweaked some thing, but it has worked out well lately."
Dennis O'Grady (4-6) took the loss after the yielded two runs over six innings. Ronnie Shaban (6) allowed two runs in the ninth inning but closed the door to earn the save.
Somerset now travels across the Long Island Sound to open up a three-game series against the Bridgeport Bluefish. Right-hander David Kubiak (3-7, 3.85 ERA) toes the rubber against Bluefish righty Charles Brewer (5-2, 4.55 ERA). First pitch at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard is scheduled for 7:12 p.m.

Urban Tourism and Urban Change: Cities in a Global Economy provides both a sociological / cultural analysis of change that has taken place in many of the world's cities. This focused treatment of urban tourism examines the implications of these changes for urban management and planning sense, for success and failure in metropolitan change. Uniquely suited for teaching purposes, Costas Spirou integrates numerous case studies of cities to illuminate the significant impact and promise of tourism on urban image and economic development.
'Accessible to a diverse audience including undergraduate students and the general public, this is also an impressive work of original scholarship. No previous book has offered such a sweeping account of the history and recent development of urban tourism, or placed it so thoroughly within large-scale social and economic processes of change.' – Dennis Judd, Political Science, University of Illinois, Chicago
'As a practicing urban planner with a Ph.D. in tourism, I will assign this book to help my students understand the profound social, economic, and demographic changes that will determine the future of cities and – by extension – urban tourism in the coming years.' – Rich Harrill, Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management, University of South Carolina
'A powerful new framework for interpreting cities. Leisure, consumption, and tourism have been rising for decades, but no previous book has put these pieces together as Costas Spirou has done. Spirou points a spotlight at our urban past and present to illuminate a dramatic new view on the current reality of urban tourism. A perfect book to use for advanced undergraduate courses on cities and social change.' – Terry Clark, Sociology, University of Chicago
"Urban Tourism and Urban Change…serves as an excellent introduction for students unacquainted with the ways in which tourism has been reshaping the urban built environment and influencing the character of neighborhoods."—Susan S. Fainstein, Harvard University
"The past two decades have witnessed growing literature on tourism and cities, but Urban Tourism and Urban Change…is an important addition to the limited literature available for use as textbooks for students….Indeed, this book fills a gap in terms of scope and perspective, and its publication, a decade or two later than previous urban tourism textbooks, is overdue." —Noam Shoval, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel
1. Changing Cities and the Commodification of Leisure 2. Globalization, Urban Competition, and Tourism 3. Tourism Policies and Urban Growth 4. The Infrastructure and Finance of Urban Tourism 5. Urban Tourism, Amenities and Human Capital 6. Residential Development and the New Face of Downtowns 7. Implications and Debates
This series brings original perspectives on key topics in urban research to today's students in a series of short accessible texts, guided readers, and practical handbooks. Each volume examines how long-standing urban phenomena continue to be relevant in an increasingly urban and global world, and in doing so, connects the best new scholarship with the wider concerns of students seeking to understand life in the twenty-first century metropolis.

text: J.R.R. Tolkien did not live to see the publication of his grandest work, The Silmarillion. In it, he lays out the creation myths and history of his fantasy universe, only a part of which included Middle Earth. Its deep parallels with the Old Testament make one rethink all the foundational literature of the West.

I am always looking for new and interesting ways to capture the attention of my students and lead them to a deeper understanding of the content. One of our class projects this year was to create a music video to a song I had written about the process of long division. It provided the students with an opportunity to collaborate with each other and get their creative juices flowing, all while focusing on math. We spent many indoor recesses filming and recording, and had a blast doing it! It gave me a chance to see a different side to many of my students, but most importantly, I am confident that my students really know how to divide!
So, do you know how to divide?
