As corporations close their books on 2010 and begin releasing information on executive pay, you can bet that the various constituents making up the Indignance And Outrage Lobby will soon be wringing their hands, wailing lamentations, and petitioning Congress over CEO compensation and the yawning gap betwixt it and what we mere mortals make.
In what would be my perfect world, each of those whiners would be free to screech to his/her heart's content about this phony-baloney injustice but each would first have to go stick his/her head in a bucket (or in any other cozy compartment) so that the rest of us wouldn't have to hear it.
Because the very same capitalist system that has given this country the best standard of living in the world and the most opportunity for its citizens also gives private enterprises the right to compensate their CEOs as lavishly or as appropriately as they may choose. And in almost every case, the free market gets it right.
Sure, there are exceptions, and some corporate scoundrels bend the rules or are in cahoots with their boards to ensure that compensation remains disconnected from performance and shareholder value. But such examples are rare—that's why they get so much publicity when the scoundrels are finally flushed out and face the disgrace they deserve.
Far more common are companies like IBM and Oracle, whose appropriately highly paid CEOs (Sam Palmisano and Larry Ellison) generate the vast majority of their compensation from performance-based incentives tied to the overall fortunes of their companies earnings and stock prices. IBM has just disclosed some details relating to CEO Sam Palmisano's incentive compensation, so let's take a look at that.
From a recent news story out of North Carolina's newsobserver.com:
" IBM nearly doubled the incentive pay for CEO Samuel Palmisano in 2010, the technology company reported in a regulatory filing Friday.
"Bloomberg News reported that Palmisano, who has led the company for eight years, received $9 million in incentives compared to $4.75 million the prior year. His full compensation package will be reported later.
"IBM reported profit for the year of $11.52 a share, which beat the company's target. IBM is one of this region's largest private employers, with about 10,000 workers at its Research Triangle Park campus." (End of excerpt.)
Yes indeed, the company's profit surely did "beat the company's target"—it did so by a wide margin. In fact, I found it odd that this same article that was so eager to point out that Palmisano's incentive compensation almost doubled from the previous year chose to devote only five words in trying to describe the rationale for that big boost: "which beat the company's target."
For a much richer look at what Palmisano and IBM achieved in 2010, here are some details from a recent news story by my InformationWeek colleague Paul McDougall, reporting on IBM's plan to grant $1,000 in stock incentives to all non-executive employees in return for the company's great year. From McDougall's article:

NEW YORK ( TheStreet -- Debra Borchardt: G-III ( GIII) has consistently been delivering excellent quarters. So, what's behind the growth in the company right now? Morris Goldfarb: The company has grown organically as well as through acquisition. What fuels that growth is the amazing talent that underlies the company. We have consistent management. We've been doing this for many years. It's a team that operates as a unit. They're independent in their operating style. The company is on growth mode and has been for a good seven years. Debra Borchardt: You license some really big names. How is that working out? Is there any name that is rally jumping out at you? Morris Goldfarb: Well clearly, the most important piece of our portfolio is Calvin Klein brand. We license it in many classifications and through the licences that we have with PVH ( PVH), we've created dominance in many different sectors of business. Coats, dresses, now sportswear and performance wear and soon to be an important piece of our business, handbags. We have a great relationship with the brand and the company that owns the brand. Debra Borchardt: Cotton prices have seemed to stabilize, is that helping you out? Morris Goldfarb: Yes it has. Out margins have improved. Our ability to buy more competitively over seas has really helped our margin enhancements. So, yes. Debra Borchardt: Do you see the healthcare mandate affecting your company at all? Morris Goldfarb: Pretty much anything that takes dollars out of the consumer's pocket is going to affect us. The consumer is under pressure to pay rent and buy food, their spend in fashion apparel is going to be less. So, to that affect it will have an impact there. Debra Borchardt: Also the higher payroll taxes... Morris Goldfarb: Yes. Same story, the spend is affected the same way. Debra Borchardt: Are you seeing, within your business, any trends as to what people are buying these days? Morris Goldfarb: They're buying fashion. The core basics come later, they're more utility, but as you prove that you're correct on the fashion side, whether it's color or style, the consumer is out there and is radiated to a new style every season.
Debra Borchardt: You recently made a purchase on the luxury side of the business Vilebrequin. Are you seeing that as a more stable clientele, the luxury clientele? Morris Goldfarb: It's not as stable as one might think. It's stable seasonality. The price point of the swimwear at Vilebrequin is quite high. Retails are anywhere from $200 to $700 dollars. So, to say that it's stable and anybody can do it is really not true. The international market is a fan of the brand. Today the Brazilian market is very actively buying it the Russian market...where there is affluence there is demand for the brand. Debra Borchardt: What is your outlook for 2013? Are you feeling optimistic? Are you concerned? Morris Goldfarb: We're optimistic. We have many different areas of business. We have areas of business that support the needs of Wal-Mart ( WMT)and we have areas that go to Bergdorf Goodman. We believe that they are all important areas. We believe that this will be a good year for us and not necessarily a good year for the fashion industry or for consumer products. We are a strong company that's able to produce the right product at right price and correct the path very quickly. We operate as a small company and we're not classified as a small company. That is an advantage. --Written by Debra Borchardt in New York. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Debra Borchardt. Follow @WallandBroad

Hi aggiemom. Welcome to Work it, Mom! I promise not to complain (at least for the rest of the day!) about being overworked. Because my responsibilities are nothing compared to yours! Wow, a new baby and two teaching jobs at two schools. That's a lot to juggle. Still, it's so wonderful to meet teachers who really love what they do. And agriculture really is not taught enough in US schools, so kudos to you.
Did you know we have a discussion group especially for teachers. This would be a great place for you to network with other members of your profession.
And for fun...well, we have lots of fun stuff that might help you unwind a little.
Hope you are less stressed very soon!

Hey guys...
You know those abstract pictures that shrinks use on their patients? You know.. they ask what word pops into their head as soon as they see the image...
well I was hoping we could do something like that on here, but a bit different.
Ok, here goes...the rules for this thread are as follows:
#1. You must say what word pops into your head as soon as you read the KEY WORD dropped by the previous poster.
#2. That word that pops into your head is now the new KEY WORD that the next poster must respond to.
So... I'll go first.
My KEY WORD is: BANANA
I'm anxious to see what kind word chain we can get going here.. be honest guys, and this could be interesting

SUNOL, Viviana. Commentaries as philosophical genre: Their origins and evolution from aristotelianism to Christian hermeneutics. Circe clás. mod. [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.2, pp.185-201. ISSN 1851-1724.
Commentaries were the most important way of philosophical production from the end of Hellenism up to late Antiquity. The richness and depth of this production was decisive not only for its historical value but also for its influence in later thought. Our intention is to explore the most significant aspects of this evolution recognizing its importance not only as sources of Plato's work and fundamentally of Aristotle -the central figure in the development of this gender- but also as works with their own philosophical value. Through a schematic overview of its history: from its origins within aristotelianism to the appropriation by Christian hermeneutics, we will identify the philosophical interests that determined the appropriation of the texts in every phase.
Palavras-chave : Commentaries; Aristotle; Alexander of Aphrodisias; Neoplatonic schools; Christian hermeneutics.

I know Lenoir is not as well known as some of the other big names in Loire Cab Franc, but this is consistently delicious accross the vintages.
A delightful, "warm" smooth, yet gritty (all three descriptions!) mouth feel that I adore! Delicious rich plum fruit, but the typicite comes through with a touch of bell pepper pyrazines on the finish. I think even those who dislike dominant green pepper would enjoy this wine. But, for me, Lenoir is all about that texture! Have never had anything like it!

"A huge thank-you to all the businesses, individuals, and organizations who contributed so generously to this year's Project Graduation," writes Cindy Yoshimura of the 2012 Project Graduation committee.
"We would especially like to thank Paddock's Appliance for their help in obtaining one of our large raffle prizes. Their name was inadvertently left off the thank-you ad, and we apologize for this mistake. The support of all who donated helped us put on a safe, fun, all-night party for the graduating Class of 2012."
Pam Ritzenthaler of the Mid-Columbia Lyme Support Group writes, "We had a full house at the showing of the 'Under Our Skin' movie June 7. Thank you to everyone that attended and to those who helped organize this Lyme disease awareness event!"
"Thanks especially to Mary Jane and Steve Heppe's public relations efforts — extra especially to Mary Jane for spearheading this whole effort! Audible gasps from the audience were heard throughout the movie as the Lyme controversy was explained. After the movie a lot of great information was shared during the question- and-answer session. A big thanks to Dr. Rafferty for coming to Hood River and answering Lyme testing, diagnosis and treatment option questions.
"Some people asked what they could do to help politically advance Lyme awareness — the two best ways to contribute to that effort would be to help with a tick sweep of our county and to get every politician and doctor that serves our area to view the 'Under Our Skin' movie. The movie is available on Netflix and for free on Hulu.com. You can make a difference: Never doubt what the actions of a few intelligent people can accomplish (Margaret Mead said something like that).
"A special thank-you to Andrew McElderry for donating the use of the Skylight Theatre and to his staff for helping the success of the showing. It is the community that helps people learn of Lyme and we so much appreciate the support of local businesses and community members for helping us get the word out. With your help, we can help others prevent years of treatment and suffering that could so easily be avoided when this disease is diagnosed early. Best in health."
The Leonard Hay Family wishes to publically express their heartfelt thanks to the Hood River Fire Department for the recent dedication of the Leonard Hay Community Room in their new building.
Writes Iris Hay, "We know Leonard would be pleased, proud and honored for this nice tribute in his memory for his 32 years of service (and enjoyment) with the fire department. It is something our family can visit, value and share through the ensuing years with the future generations. Fire Chief Devon Wells and all of the participating dignitaries performed excellently and we thank each of them with appreciation and gratitude. The 'ribbon cutting/hose uncoupling' was very clever and it could not have been a nicer dedication. Our thanks extended to all those in attendance also."
"After an exceptional step in service, I felt I had to write about it," writes Georgia Donnelly.
"I recently purchased a new mattress at Murray's Clearance Center here in Hood River. I go there first when I need furniture, wall hangings, lamps, and in this case, a mattress. Not only did I receive exceptional advice about the mattress I chose, Gary took a huge second step. By the time I had checked in at home to be sure we were getting the mattress we wanted, and returning the next day to buy it, I found out that it wasn't possible to deliver it for two days because of the demand they were having in their sales and deliveries. My heart sank as we had already torn down our very old, very sad waterbed, and didn't know what we'd do for the next two nights waiting for a new mattress to be delivered. Nevertheless, I knew we had to get it, so made the decision to at least make the purchase. Then came the 'exceptional' part. Gary contacted his delivery guys who were booked solid until 5, and worked out an arrangement that allowed delivery to my home that same day after all. That meant that Gary made the step of checking in with his guys, and they agreed to another delivery when they actually should be going home.
This is one of the reasons Hood River is so great. We have so many quality family businesses, and Gary proved we have just as many outstanding owners who take extra steps that big stores and big cities just don't. Though thank you is not even close to expressing my gratitude, I hope anyone who is considering a purchase for their home start with Murray's — and Gary if possible. Great selection, great prices and simply incredible person to person extra steps. Murray's is the best!"
Keri Sprenger of Vancouver writes, "I wanted to send a note of thanks to some unsung heroes in the Hood River community.
To the Hood River Sheriff's Department: "Sheriff Joe Wampler and Deputy Lloyd Frasier responded quickly to our 9-1-1 call and rescued my partner Tracy when she had a seizure and fell off the Eagle Creek Trail on Friday, June 22.
"If not for their quick response and clear-headed thinking, the operation might have been a recovery instead of a rescue. Let's just say that where we lived in North Carolina years ago, you wouldn't find law enforcement officials who were capable of rappelling down a steep slope to rescue someone."
The Crag Rats: "I also wanted to thank the Crag Rats for their quick response time and finely honed skill set that was used to bring her back up to the trail. I know these guys are completely volunteer-run and they were truly angels for us on what would have been the worst day of my life. Thank you to all who participated in this rescue, including the seven to eight people who literally waited hours with me during a time of great uncertainty.
"I hope other members of the community realize their great fortune in having all these unsung heroes as part of your community."
"A huge thank-you to Matt Klee and HRATS for their amazing work reviving our glorious Post Canyon," writes Julie Gonzales and Curtis Haynie.
"After the ice storm damage, it was heartbreaking to see our favorite riding spot devastated. You guys came charging through with Superman capes and shovels making this year's riding a reality. Every time we ride, there's an awesome new feature, cleared trails and more riding. We also appreciate the work you have done in Family Man to make it safer for everyone to enjoy. Standing ovation for your tireless energy!"

I'd go for On Stage - an album that at the time was 100% new material - 10 covers done by Elvis, and all were such fantastic performances, in great sound quality.
If the MSG album was released in the same sound quality as the Memphis allbum, it'd be a world beater, but the tinny sound stops this making it for me.

Tel Aviv (MarketWatch) -- Atari Inc., the New York interactive entertainment and licensing company with a portfolio of more than 200 videogames, said on Monday that it's filed to reorganize under Chapter 11 of federal bankruptcy law. The petition, filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, is an effort to separate the company from its French parent and secure independent capital, Atari Inc. said. The company's parent is Atari SA ATA, -1.76% of Paris, formerly Infogrames SA. Atari titles include Pong, Asteroids, Centipede, and Battlezone, among others. The company said in a statement that under its current management, it has "shifted its business from traditional retail games to digital games and licensing with an increased focus on developing mobile games based on some of Atari's most iconic and enduring franchises." Atari and two other U.S. affiliates of the parent are also asking the court to approve $5.25 million of debtor-in-possession financing from funds managed by Tenor Capital Management of Manhattan.

My last entry talked about why whole grains tend to be a healthier option – you get more nutritional bang for your buck. However, not all whole grain foods are created equal.
Marketing has led us to believe that the same old sugary cereal we've tried to avoid buying for our kids is actually now good for us because it contains whole grains. So how do we know if a food is truly whole grain and whether or not it is good for us?
One resource is the Whole Grains Council stamp. This stamp can help us identify those foods with 100% whole grains. If you eat three servings of 100% whole grain foods daily, you will get the nutrition benefits from those whole grains.
The Whole Grains Council website has a ton of great info on whole grains, recipes, info about using the stamp, and a list of food products that have the stamp on it.

Name: Saint Ambrogio Society
Address: 802 Montague St., Rockford
Opened: The beginnings of the society can be traced to the early 1900s, as the second wave of Italian immigration — mainly from central and southern Italy — settled into Rockford. Today, the social club is open to all cultures.
Phone/website: 815-964-6833; saintambrogio.com.
Hours: Friday night fish fry weekly starts at 5 p.m. and is open to the public.
Most popular items: The Deep-Fried Canadian Walleye ($10.95), Fried Cod ($9.75 for full order, $7.50 for a half order), Baked Cod ($9.95 for full order, $7.50 for half order), and Fried Catfish ($8.95) are the most popular items. The only other entrees on the menu are shrimp ($8.95), half a fried chicken ($8.25) and Spaghetti with Meatballs ($7 for a full order, $5.25 for a half order and $3 for children younger than 12 years).
We ate: My boyfriend and I ate there April 4. The walleye filet, which was so big that the ends hung off the side of the dinner plate, tasted great. The fish was soaked in wine vinegar, breaded with an egg batter with Panko bread crumbs, flavored with lemon, pepper, parsley and paprika and then deep fried.
We also had the half order of baked cod, a piece of fried cod — which we liked better than the baked — and haddock, which wasn't as flavorful as the good-tasting sauce that topped it. Rice accompanied our entrees. We preferred the spaghetti to the Pasta Alia Olio, which had too much garlic for our tastes.
"Ahh" factor: The fish fries are popular, and the place is packed from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Nearly three-fourths of those eating at St. Ambrogio on Friday nights are members, so there's a friendly, chit-chatty ambiance in the dining room and bar.
"Hmm" moment: The tartar sauce came packaged in little containers and the salads in disposable bowls.

Liverpool and Tottenham are set to scrap it out for Ajax starlet Christian Eriksen in the summer, according to the Evening Standard.
The paper reports that Ajax are willing to consider offers this summer after the 21-year-old Danish international revealed he won't sign a new contract to extend his stay in Amsterdam beyond it's current end-date in 2014.
And it seems as though it will be a straight shoot-out for his signature between Liverpool and Tottenham, who have been scouting him 'every week', after numerous big-name suitors dropped out of the running.
According to the Standard, Manchester United and Arsenal have previously shown an interest in the talented youngster but believe they have enough options in the attacking midfield position, where Eriksen likes to operate, as it is, while Barcelona are also similarly well stocked.
The London-based paper quote a "senior" Ajax source as saying: "Christian wants to play in the Premier League and we think he will do well there. The club had discussed the option of keeping him until the end of his contract but it makes sense now to sell.
"Liverpool and Spurs are scouting him almost every week. Arsenal are no longer interested and Man United are not on the scene. The club will not let him go cheaply so there is a long way to go but it seems likely he will move to Tottenham or Liverpool."
Tottenham were in the market for a creative midfielder last summer as a replacement for the Real Madrid-bound Luka Modric, but narrowly failed with a move for Porto's Joao Moutinho.
That deal is unlikely to be resurrected this summer and a move for Eriksen appears more financially plausible.
The north London club are said to be hopeful that Eriksen's former Ajax team-mate Jan Vertonghen, now with Spurs, will be able to persuade him to choose north London over Anfield.
Speaking earlier in the season, Vertonghen said of the Danish star: "Technically, he's one of the best players I've played with. He can use his right foot and his left foot equally well."
Despite Tottenham's interest, Liverpool remain hopeful of getting a deal done at the end of the season.
The Standard report that both Liverpool and Tottenham will be asked to cough up around £14 million for Eriksen, who has six goals in 24 league games this season, but Spurs chairman is hopeful of driving the price down to around £8 million

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
They are business travelers, frequent fliers, off-duty employees, and even first-timers. They are the last ones to board, but the first ones to petition for an available seat up front.
Every flight has its share of upgrade candidates. But there are usually more candidates than first-class seats, and as a result, some of those passengers become very upset. (If you're one of those people, here's a little something to ponder: If the airlines upgraded everyone, how would they make any money?)
Still, the upgrade brigade persists, even after the last person has boarded.
Among the arguments I've heard for reassigning a passenger to a premium seat: "My reading light doesn't work, my seat doesn't recline, I smell smoke, I have asthma, diarrhea, epilepsy, heart condition. I am too tall, fat, old. I lost my boarding card, and the ground agent said I could take a seat anywhere. I hate this airline, love this airline, I work for another airline, I am an employee for this airline. My sister's ex-boyfriend's doctor's cousin's daughter used to fly for this airline."
They never work. Well, almost never.
One time a passenger had a heart attack, and we had a fairly empty first-class section. We moved him up there until we landed. But that's a pretty tough way to get more legroom.
I have had passengers shake my hand upon boarding and slip me twenties, fifties and even hundred dollar bills asking me to "see what I can do for them." I even had a lady promise to induct me into the mile high club if I got her a higher-class seat.
It's not that the flight attendants don't want to upgrade you, it's just plain and simple: we can't. Our rules of conduct state specifically that upgrading (without permission from a supervisor on the ground or in emergencies, from the captain) is an offense punishable by immediate discharge.
It's a firm rule, with no room for negotiation or interpretation.
Keep this in mind: you could have an airline employee eating right out of your hand, but when the magic word or implication of an upgrade arises, an alarm bell goes off in his head which discredits everything you have said up to that point. You've been made. We call it our BS alert.
Here are some factors that will increase your chances of getting an upgrade:
- Become a member of that specific airline's frequent flier mileage club. You can be a member of many different airlines' clubs.
- The flight is oversold in economy, but there are empty seats in business and or first class.
- You are dressed smartly or in business attire. Jacket and tie for men and a dress/suit for women.
- You are traveling alone. Sorry, if you're with kids, it's almost an automatic disqualifier.
- Always be willing to move when asked. I know of a man who refused to move because he was seated on the aisle. What he didn't realize was that the seat they were offering him was in first class.
- Courtesy and kindness does go a long way in this industry — I have seen many people upgraded just because the kindness they showed. I know when I am aboard, if someone is especially nice, I want to do something extra for him or her, and I'm positive the ground staff feel the same way.
- Be early. Your chances of sitting up front diminish quickly when you inquire at the last minute.
- If you have been seriously inconvenienced on a previous flight, make sure the check-in agents know about it. But don't make a scene or they will put you in the worst possible seat, hoping never to see you again.
- Use the right card. Many times the credit card you pay with has a redeemable mile feature usable with several different airlines.
- When you book the ticket ask about upgrades and prices. There is a fare called Y-UP fares that cost a little more but increases your upgrade chances immensely. Many times there are ongoing promotions to spur first class revenue. I paid full fare on an airline and was amazed when an extra $20 got me sitting in 1A. I can easily justify that cost in red wine.
Let's face it, domestic first class, if there even is one, is probably not worth the upgrade effort, but I believe internationally, it is. It's not just about free drinks and slightly bigger seats; I am talking about gourmet food, premium wines and seats that convert into beds. So if you strive for an upgrade, do it on an international flight.
If you find yourself up front on a future flight, have a glass of red wine for me. I recommend the California Cabernet my airline carries. Who knows, I might be the one pouring it for you.

text: I purchased a Spectrum 375 Xtreme used from a friend of mine. The original ICE torch was run over, and my LWS said the XT30 was an upgraded replacement, and the it was very easy to install. So I opened up the machine tonight and swaped over the torches. It was super straight forward, and I can't find anything I would have missed. I have the unit plugged into 220, and I have 100PSI going to it. The power light comes on, but when I pull the trigger nothing happens. No smoke, no crazy noises. There's no damage to the unit that I can see. According to my friend he used it very little. I'm stumped. Is there anything I should look at? Anything to check? Thanks guys.

After yesterday there should be no way he survives. Whether he told the truth, lied or whatever it doesn't change the fact that he has completely lost control two years in a row. How Pettine kept his job is unbelievable. Might be worse than going into a game with one QB.
There is one problem and that is Woody Johnson. Rex is staying and he is doubling down on Sanchez. Some fans must have ate up that little rant Rex on yesterday. "Mad as a hornet". Thinking the old Rex is back. He will do the same thing next year with Sanchez. Give a passionate speech about Mark being his guy and the fans will eat it up again.
Too little too late. He is done. Only thing left to be decided is if the rebuild gets delayed one year.

What's so bad about Greeley?... from the Denver Post
Not knowing any of the other cities on the list within this book of gripes, I found this to be an intersting first paragraph as I read the Sunday Denver Post yesterday. "Wow," I thought, "Greeley made a list of worst places to live.."Originally posted by DenverPost
So I kept reading.
Bad smell, Rednecks, nothing much to do; yep sounds like my impressions of the town while in college. But that didn't bother me while I lived there. In fact, despite not being a trendy, over designed, "loft town" I found Greeley to be a fine place to live and learn. We had plenty to do and -- you get used to the smell.
So I began to think that the author must have spent a lot of time in Greeley in order to establish this opinion (and even be able to write credibly about the town in a book). But as I read further (not too much into the article yet, mind you) I found this:
He'd never been to Greeley. He wrote about a place to NEVER LIVE and this hack has never been there!Originally posted by DenverPost
He did his research via Craigslist! CRAIGSLIST?! The site to look for items such as an exhaust for a 78 Firebird? A site where random folks can "hook up" and or rant about lost love? Now, I may have passed time in my college statistics class (in Ross Hall, on the Greeley Campus of the U of Northern Colorado) daydreaming about a non-existent career in the NHL or mentally undressing the girls in the class, but one thing I did gather was that a low-budget website, which is essentially a forum for cynics and people afraid to put their faces with their opinions, is NOT place to gather a representative sample for research to base one's opinion.
Sure Greeley is a little white bread, can smell bad from time to time, and has a 25cent beer night at one of the local bars. The biggest gripe I had with the city was the lack of an ice rink (which the typically "don't tax me" Conservative voters approved a tax hike for, as well as other recreational amenities my fourth year living there). But to mark it down as one of 50 Places NOT to Live? Hardly.
I guess I would understand if the author had spent time in Greeley, lived there, or visited for an extended period of time. Formulated his opinion while going to Quarter Beer Night at the "Armpit"; visited a Mexican restaurant so authentic, the owner had to get his daughter (the only one there besides me who spoke English) to take an order; walked through Glenmere Park on a warm summer night; and taken in the charm of UNC's Central Campus, preferably while playing some football in the snow!
But forgive me if I am upset about the fact that someone is getting published (and presumably making a profit) off of a book that is based upon loose anonymous opinion and lazy research methods. I wonder what the other cities are on the list, and if the residents (or former residents) feel the same way.

Three people were killed in separate accidents over the weekend, including a motorcyclist who crashed into a car Sunday morning in Warren, according to local police departments.
The motorcyclist, whose name and hometown were not available, died Sunday after he apparently lost control of his bike and smashed into a vehicle on Mound Road near Chicago Road about 10:50 a.m., according to Warren police Sgt. Sean Johnston.
Officers worked in the rain to collect evidence and conduct measurements as part of their investigation before they opened the Mound Road intersection about 2 p.m. The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet at the time of the collision.
No other injuries were reported in that accident.
In the other fatalities:
* A 30-year-old woman was killed and four people were injured in a two-car crash on 19 Mile Road near Dalcoma Drive in Clinton Township on Saturday afternoon.
The woman was driving a Ford Fusion in the right lane of eastbound 19 Mile Road about 1:20 p.m. when she was struck on the driver�s side by a westbound Chevy SUV that had crossed the center lane and into her lane.
All of the occupants were taken by ambulance to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital directly across the street on 19 Mile Road, Lt. Raymund Macksoud said in a news release. The 30-year-old woman, a Clinton Township resident, was pronounced dead at the hospital about 4:40 p.m.
Police said although the woman�s next of kin has been notified, her name was being withheld. The driver of the Chevy SUV is a 34-year-old man from Clinton Township, according to the release.
Macksoud said the investigation is continuing and it�s unknown whether drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash until medical reports are received. Anyone with information on the accident is asked to call the department at 586-493-7933 or Macksoud at 586-493-7932.
* A 26-year-old Shelby Township woman died Saturday morning in a head-on collision on 23 Mile Road near Interstate 94 in Chesterfield Township.
Police Sgt. Ed Colinas said the incident happened about 7 a.m. when a male motorist headed eastbound on 23 Mile for unknown reasons crossed the road and crashed into the victim, who was headed west. Police closed much of the road for about 3 hours as they conducted their investigation but were able to keep open one lane of traffic in each direction.
Colinas said the investigation is continuing as police await the findings of a blood test to determine if the male motorist was the under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The motorist was released pending further investigation.

Private School Tells 300 Students To Pay Up Or Get Out
A new quarter just started this week at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago, and on the first day back, 300 students were pulled out of class and lined up outside the school, then told to contact their parents and pay their outstanding tuition or they'd have to leave. The Chicago Tribune writes that "by lunchtime, about 100 students were sent home-some confused, some embarrassed and a few angry." The school says parents owe around $450,000 in outstanding tuition payments, far higher than usual, and that they're trying to avoid layoffs and other budget cutbacks. Will the poor economy lead to higher attendance at public schools? "If you want a good education, you have to dish it out," one parent told the paper.
Update: There are a lot of extra details in the article, but to be fair to the school for those who don't read it, let me add: the school says they sent home letters and made phone calls last week, tuition is about $8k a year, and the amounts owed varied from $750 to $5,000. Also:
To prevent losing more students, the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago announced last month that $1 million in emergency aid would be available for families that lost jobs this school year. It was deluged with requests within days.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all readying bids for Derby County wonderkid Will Hughes.
The 17-year-old midfielder has broken into the Rams' first team and has become a regular this season.
His impressive performances have attracted the interest of Arsene Wenger, Brendan Rodgers and Roberto Mancini, but now financial pressures at the east Midlands club mean a sale may be inevitable, according to The Telegraph.
The report claims Arsenal have already made tentative contact over a possible deal for Hughes, with Wenger keen to make him the next young Championship addition to his young ranks.
However, the Gunners are not alone in this and the report also claims Liverpool and Manchester City's interest will be encouraged by Derby in the hope that a bidding war ensues between the Premier League tutors.
Were it to comer to this the club from Etihad Stadium would likely have the upper hand due to their superior spending power, but the prestige at Anfield and Wenger's track record for developing promising youngsters at Emirates Stadium could sway any decision.
The report claims Derby manager Nigel Clough has been told to raise £1.8million in January and so may be forced to cash in on one of his prized assets, but it also says the Rams have set a starting price of £4million.

The NFL's new mandate against helmet-to-helmet hits and focus on protecting defenseless players did its job in that no such hits were deemed delivered this weekend and the NFL did not impose any fines for such hits.
But if you ask Dolphins defensive end Tony McDaniel, the focus on not delivering such contact had an unintended and unwelcome affect on him.
"I honestly could say, myself, on some plays when I had a clear shot at the quarterback, I kind of slowed down and made sure I hit him in the right spot," McDaniel said. "I definitely think it slows us down a little bit as far as speed and thinking about a fine -- a $75,000 fine, a $50,000 fine. Some guys that's four or five-game game checks so it slows the game down a lot.
"I could say me personally as a player it slowed me down. Most definitely."
McDaniel believes the outgrowth of the new focus on helmet-to-helmet hits is that players will tackle lower. You saw such a tackle by cornerback Sean Smith on Pittsburgh receiver Hines Ward. And that kind of play will limit head shots and concussions.
But it will increase the pain elsewhere: At the knees.
"I would rather get a concussion than blow out an ACL," McDaniel said. "Guys are definitely going to go lower now."

On Thursday September 26 the young Rebels took their show across the field to Conrad to take on the Comets in a Freshman Sophomore game. These games for us are an opportunity for our Freshmen to get a lot of playing time and game experience. We also ask some of our Sophomores to come along with us just to add some more depth if we need it. We have not spent a ton of time with this group all alone since we have had a JV game every week since week 0 but it all needed to come together on this beautiful fall evening. It was a great night for football.
The game started well for us as we took the opening kickoff back to about midfield and on the first play Jake Schuman took the ball 51 yards for an early score. We would never look back. We stormed to a 20-0 lead after one quarter on another Jake run and the first of Parker Bown's 3 TDs. We made an early substitution with Erik Knaack sliding under center for his first action at quarterback of his young high school career. Erik ran the show and engineered 2 more scoring drives in the first half. Parker scored on a 23 yard run followed by reserve tailback Carter Murphy's first TD run of his career. We led 33-0 at the half. The second half we moved some more kids around to see what they could do and we were very impressed by the effort and enthusiasm these guys showed. We had another Bown TD run in the third and then in the fourth quarter we handed the ball off to Joe Baugus and he responded with a 58 yard scoring scamper on his first touch at tailback. We cruised on to a 47-6 victory. We are 1-0 now and have a very busy next couple of weeks coming at us.
Parker led the offense surge with 138 yards and 3 scores. He also kicked 3 PAT's. Jake Schuman ran for 66 yards and 2 TD's on 2 carries. Joe added his 58 yard score, Carter had 47 yards and a score, Dmitriy Strohbehn finished with 50 yards on the ground to wrap up our rushing total of 359 yards. Our offensive line did a great job all night long. Jacob Walters, Jon Edler, Jed Peterson, Thomas Mussig, Joseph Pepe, Spencer Goos, Slade Wager, and Jaden McGhee opened huge holes all night to really make our running game effective.
Defensively Tyler Pierce led the way with 7 stops followed by Joe with 6. Parker and Jed 4, Dmitriy, Spencer, and Thomas 3, Joseph, Cameron Murphy, Carter, Erik, and Matt Roeding 2, Alex Tscherter, Jacob, Hunter Beachler, Jaden, Jake, and Bryce Clark all added a stop each to round out our dominate performance. Jake Mohlis, Thomas, and Carter all had interceptions for us and Jed recovered a fumble to aid us in winning the turnover battle 4 to 0.
We did a lot of things very well on this night. We had a goal to reduce our penalties and play smarter football. We had 2 penalties all night and we were solid on both sides of the ball. As a coaching staff we are very pleased with this outing based on the amount of time we have specifically spent with this group. They responded like good football players and that is what we are after. Nice work guys and keep it up.
Our next action will be Monday October 7 JV game at Traer versus the North Tama Redhawks starting at 6 p.m.. This group will then play again on Thursday October 10 at State Center against West Marshall. These games will be solid tests for us as the North Tama and West Marshall programs have been successful over the past few years. We will be ready to go. Come on out and see the future of Rebel football.

- A platoon-type OF/1B that can pound lefties and hopefully sit in the five hole has to be NH's main concern. Another starter may be on the list, but there aren't many available that can crack the Pirate staff. Don't look for a SS deal. Mercer and Barmes are doing well enough, while buyers are lined up around the corner looking at a seller's market that frankly doesn't exist. And we'd be surprised to see them in on a reliever; the bullpen is deep through Indy. The bench could use help. A partial answer may lie at Indy with Tony Sanchez and an outfielder, although the prospects for the pasture are all LH.
- The Pirates are scouting the current Milwaukee-San Diego series. The Padres are said to be dangling bullpen arms; we're wondering if the Bucco bird dogs aren't keying in on OFs Chris Denorfia and Carlos Quentin rather than relievers.
- Looking at early trade results, the price for rentals this year is sky-high in terms of prospects. So while the Bucs may be rumored to be in on some big names (Stanton, Pence, Rios) just as they were last year (Pence, Victorino, Headley), we'd expect nothing more than a Derrek Lee kind of addition or someone NH finds with some upside and under team control who's under the current radar (like last year's Lincoln-Snider deal). The holes just aren't gaping enough to grossly overpay in what is shaping up as an extreme seller's market. The club could go into September and the free call-ups adding nothing more than a RH stick and a doing a little shuffling of the roster's edges.
- The Brewers and Cubs are selling fast, and that's not great news for the Bucs, as the Cards still face them 18 times and the Reds 16 times while the Bucs match up with the pair 13 more times. The Brewers have lost Ryan Braun for the year to suspension and just traded Francisco Rodriguez, with the rest of its bullpen said to be available. The Cubs have unloaded Matt Garza, Scott Feldman and Scott Harrison, and are trying to deal Alfonso Soriano to the Yankees, with most of their roster being dangled. The Bucs won't see the Reds until late September for a six-pack home-and-home series, but have 14 games left with St. Louis, with a big five game set beginning Monday.

I kinda like him myself, Dave, especially considering the other names being bandied about. I can see poking around for a DeJesus, Schierholtz or Denorfia type, too. I'm holding out hope that NH is working under the top layer for a complementary piece of the puzzle; it's a pretty challenging market so far.

ECN's (www.ecnmag.com) Engineering Update, brought to you by Mouser Electronics (www.mouser.com), takes a look at:
• Wireless, stretchable lithium-ion batteries
Scientists at Northwestern University have created the batteries using 100 tiny, rigid electrodes embedded within a sheet of stretchy silicone elastomer. The battery is also wirelessly chargeable and each electrode disk is interconnected in a parallel fashion using metal wires. This new type of battery could help to power medical implants or, even better, a supped-up Snuggie!
• Wearable pain patches
Thimble Bioelectronics is developing a portable pain relief patch based on Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. Using low voltage electrical stimulation to alleviate pain, the patch will also include Bluetooth connectivity via a smartphone app for pain tracking and management.
• A Spidey Sense suit
Researchers at the University of Illinois in Chicago have found a way to replicate Spider-Man's superhuman powers of perception with a Spider Sense suit. Modeled after the Marvel comic book hero, the suit can detect objects through the use of sensors that are placed around the body and capable of warning its wearer of impending danger. Blindfolded volunteers apparently had little trouble detecting obstacles while walking, but the web-slinging did take some practice.
• The world's first electric tilt rotor aircraft
Engineers at Agusta Westland in the UK recently developed the world's first electric tilt rotor airplane - the AW609, or Project Zero. The plane's two rotors can be tilted up to 90 degrees, which allow it to hover like a helicopter as well as take off and land vertically. Think Osprey, but smaller, and so far, fewer crashes.
•Robot cheetahs
Researchers at MIT are developing a running robot Cheetah. It's about the size and weight of an actual cheetah, but it's capable of running continuously for up to 1.5 hours at 5 mph, and of course, isn't sidetracked by Cheetos.

NEW YORK (AP) — American teen CiCi Bellis returns to action at the U.S. Open on Thursday, two days after becoming the youngest player to win a match in the tournament since 1996.
The 15-year-old Californian, ranked 1,208th and playing not only in her first Grand Slam main draw but also her first tour-level event, will try to follow up her surprising victory over 12th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova by beating 48th-ranked Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan.
After playing in the first round on tiny Court 6 — which does not have TV coverage, normally — Bellis moves up to Court 17, which has 2,800 seats and is part of the regularly televised rotation at Flushing Meadows.
"It's crazy to think that I'm actually here right now with all these other (professional players). I mean, I never thought I would be practicing or sharing a court with, you know, a player that I watch on TV frequently," Bellis said after her first-round win. "I mean, it's crazy. But I love it."
Bellis earned a wild-card invitation from the U.S. Tennis Association by winning a national title for girls 18 and under; she was the youngest champion at that event since Lindsay Davenport in 1991.
After defeating Cibulkova, this year's Australian Open runner-up, Bellis was asked whether expectations for her tennis career already were growing.
"No. I mean, I'm just going to keep playing my game and not really think about this last match," Bellis replied, "and keep going in the tournament, play as well as I can."
Here are some other things to watch on Day 4 at the U.S. Open:
YOUNG AMERICANS: Aside from Bellis, there is a group of young American women in action. And while Bellis got past a seeded player in the first round, they're taking on highly regarded opponents in the second.
That includes Christina McHale, 22, who meets No. 16 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, a two-time U.S. Open finalist and two-time Australian Open champion; Shelby Rogers, 21, who takes on No. 11 Flavia Pennetta of Italy; and Nicole Gibbs, 21, who goes up against No. 23 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia.
DOUBLE DUTY: Serena Williams takes a 15-match Flushing Meadows winning streak into her second-round contest against another American, 81st-ranked Vania King.
Williams has won five U.S. Open titles in all, including in 2012 and 2013. She is trying to become the first woman to win the tournament three consecutive years since Chris Evert had a four-year run from 1975-78.
After facing King in Arthur Ashe Stadium, Williams is scheduled to head over to the Grandstand for a first-round doubles match alongside her older sister Venus. They'll meet the seventh-seeded pairing of Timea Babos of Hungary and Kristina Mladenovic of France.
KYRGIOS UP: Nick Kyrgios, the 19-year-old Australian who stunned Rafael Nadal on the way to getting to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, hopes to get to the third round at the U.S. Open for the first time.
Kyrgios has a big serve and a bit of a temper, which carried him within one outburst of getting defaulted during his 7-5, 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (1) defeat of 21st-seeded Mikhail Youzhny on Monday.
"I've been an emotional player my whole career," Kyrgios said. "Hopefully, I'll be able to manage it better in the future. It's a work in progress."
He plays 49th-ranked Andreas Seppi of Italy.

Arsenic toxicity in pathogenic Staphylococcus epidermidis and Klebsiella pneumoniae
The sensitivity of pure cultures of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Klebsiella pneumoniae towards arsenic was studied with particular reference to biochemical changes induced by the heavy metal in these organisms. Arsenic strongly inhibited the growth and viability of both the organisms. Addition of arsenic prolonged the lag phase and this was found to be the concentration dependent phenomenon. The Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined was 200 ppm and 20 ppm in S. epidermidis and K. pneumoniae respectively that inhibited growth, synthesis of protein, DNA, RNA completely and activity of dehydrogenases of the TCA cycle. In S. epidermidis and K. pneumoniae, cell wall, membrane and cytoplasm 24.5%, 32.5%, 43% and 20%, 35%, 45% arsenic respectively got incorporated. As the activity of dehydrogenases was inhibited by arsenic, cells were incapable of oxidizing substrate. It resulted in limited supply of energy rich compounds such as ATP that affected the synthesis of macromolecules. Ultimately multiplication and growth of the organism got ceased.

ABC News has asked a panel of experts five questions about what it would take to fix the U.S. health care system, and we'll post one question and answer every day this week.
The experts include physicians, academics and consumer advocates.
Below is the fourth batch of responses they've brought to this five-part series -- some surprising, some simple.
Question: What's the best way to pay for Americans' health care?
Dr. Alan Garber
Director, Center for Health Policy, Stanford University
The funds for health insurance will have to come from both public and private sources. It is unlikely that we can avoid using general federal revenues for a chunk of the costs, which means that we will have to find ways to control Medicare expenses as part of any plan.
Dr. David Gratzer
Senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and a licensed physician in the United States and Canada. Gratzer wrote "The Cure: How Capitalism Can Save American Health Care"
I'm unconvinced that employer-based health insurance will last -- only 58 percent of companies now offer coverage, a 20-year low. But if we move away from this idea, we'll need to help people pool risk -- not easy. Still, private health insurance is a better bet than nationalized health care.
Dr. Joanne Lynn
Physician and researcher with the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Clinical Standards and Quality at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services
The U.S. has three major arenas for enhanced coverage, and the ways to pay for improvement differ:
For those who have no coverage at all, the approach may well involve state initiatives to extend coverage, managing costs so that businesses can cover workers and their families, and assuring backup plans for citizens who have no other access to coverage.
For the elderly who have medical care coverage but no long-term care coverage, CMS and others have encouraged younger people to buy long-term care insurance and to attend to the issues of retirement income and security, though broader initiatives may prove to be needed.
For family caregivers upon whom so much of the care of disabled and elderly persons depends, the society will probably need to consider strategies to make continued high levels of service possible as the numbers of persons needing care rises dramatically and the numbers of potential caregivers shrinks.
Lisa McGiffert
Senior policy analyst at Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports
The way we pay for health care today is the most complicated and wasteful in the world, with too many layers of insurance-company bureaucracy and aggressive collection tactics that send the sickest Americans to bankruptcy court. A reformed system must be affordable so everyone can participate and get a handle on spiraling costs.
We want everyone to contribute to pay for their health care; we want payments to be collected fairly and efficiently; and we want funding to adequately cover the health care all Americans need.
We need a uniform way to collect premiums that requires shared responsibility and treats everyone fairly, such as an annual income assessment or payroll deductions similar to the one that has been used very efficiently for decades to fund Medicare's universal health care for American elders.
Robert E. Moffit
Director, Center for Health Policy Studies, the Heritage Foundation
First, use the existing health care tax breaks, estimated at $210 billion in 2004, as the basis for a national tax credit system.
Second, roll over the existing government subsidies that are used to offset the costs of uncompensated care (approximately $35 billion) to fund a low-income health care voucher program. Third, fold annual appropriations for the State Children's Health Insurance Program into the voucher/tax credit pool for families, and allow children to enroll in the plans chosen by their parents.
Fourth, states can and should supplement any federal tax credit or voucher assistance with tax credits or subsidies of their own, particularly for poor or low income Americans.
Finally, Congress could appropriate such sums as necessary to supplement the refundable tax credit or health care voucher program.
Debra Ness
President, National Partnership for Women and Families
We need to start paying for health care based on quality and performance, not just the number of services provided. We need a system that rewards the right kind of care at the right time -- especially the kind of preventive and primary care that can keep people healthy.

Skip to comments.Restaurant Red Alert: Lunch Customer Claims Finger Tip Found in Salad
Posted on 04/05/2012 11:57:10 AM PDT by nickcarraway
Joey Brooklyn's is a restaurant best known for its amazing pizza. Located next to Janus Live in downtown St. Pete, it's popular with both the late night crowd and corporate customers for lunch.
"What I'm most proud of is our ingredients. We're very, very choosey," said Joey Brooklyn's co-owner, Jane Aberro. "Everything is fresh. And I spend a fortune on cheese! I have to have the best cheese."
But on February 27, a state inspector with the Division of Restaurants documented 11 violations, six considered critical. Among the most serious problems were pepperoni and mozzarella cheese held at 47 degrees, 6 degrees above the limit.
"We didn't do so well. This time it was a particularly thorough comb through," said Aberro, who admits the inspection results were disappointing.
Last week, Jane agreed to take us into her kitchen. She showed us the refrigeration unit in question with a thermometer indicating the pepperoni was now being kept at a chilly 40 degrees.
"Every single thing we've addressed and fixed," said Aberro of the previous violations.
But it was actually a bizarre customer complaint filed with the state that triggered Joey Brooklyn's February inspection. On February 21, an employee from nearby Progress Energy reported ordering a salad for lunch. According to a complaint filed with the state and obtained by 10 News, the customer took a bite and spit out what appeared to be a finger tip mixed in with the lettuce.
The discovery resulted in nausea and vomiting and, according to the complaint, the customer went to Bayfront Hospital requesting "the restaurant employee be tested for various diseases."
"We can't really comment on something that is speculation, or fiction, or anonymous tips," said Aberro when asked about the finger tip incident.
But a state inspection from less than a week later substantiated the customer's complaint. The report states "employee, Nick, has a band aid on his left index finger" and that the injury occurred "while prepping a salad." A separate investigation by Progress Energy indicates that same employee "apologized for the incident," according to the complaint.
"When it comes to complaints filed with the health department, this is our first, and it's being investigated," said Aberro, who stresses her restaurant has a good track record of clean inspections.
She says she looks forward to her next visit from the state and is aiming for a perfect score.
"You don't want to serve your customers anything but the finest food. I take it personally. If you take your food out here and a leaf blows on it, I want to replace it and I want to make you happy."
"We can't really comment on something that is speculation, or fiction, or anonymous tips,"
"We can't really comment on something that is speculation, or fiction, or anonymous FINGER tips,"
What was the customer complaining about? Didn't he wash his hands before cutting off part of his finger?
At least the salad was finger-lickin' good..
Those were supposed to be fed to the wolverines...
Those were supposed to be fed to the wolverines...
"I ordered ladyfingers for dessert, not with my salad!"
Boozers, in other words. Much easier to please than the Sunday after lunch crowd.
But there should be a digital read-out on the reefers that everyone glances at during the day.
Only thing I can say in defense of the 47F temp is if the inspection happened during lunch rush, and the reefer got opened a LOT. Otherwise, no defense.
ya wanna thigh or wing wid dat? sauce is extree
Extra meat at no extra charge? Whut's the problem? Especially in this economy.
"anonymous tips," - he could not have said that with a straight face
Perfectly named employee.
A spokesman for the restaurant said, "Something's not right with this report, but I can't quite put my finger on it..."
Bet the Wendys people still get steamed to this day
They sure nailed those extortionists to the wall
" Our Waitresses Give The Tips To You!"
Sounds like they have a good business model, just having a little trouble breaking it in...
At least there doesn't appear tone a mohel involved.......
To be ....
Hey, maybe it was a Friday during Lent.

The Bucknell Neuroscience Lecture Series celebrates our new Program in Neuroscience at Bucknell University.
We are delighted to join the large number of academic institutions and researchers worldwide that are engaged in the exploration of the brain and behavior.
The field of neuroscience is dedicated to the study of the brain and nervous system: the physiological locus of our thoughts, perceptions, memories, desires and actions. Neuroscience promises to influence nearly every domain of human inquiry, and it is now part of the public dialogue on the nature of human existence. Tom Wolfe, celebrated author and the recent recipient of Bucknell's Janet Weis award in Contemporary Letters, described neuroscience as "the future of academia" and a field that is "changing the way that humans look at themselves."
The human brain and nervous system contains roughly 100 billion neurons—the functional units of the brain. Neural communication is the foundation for all that we do: When we see, neurons carry information from the eye to brain; when we speak, neurons coordinate our thoughts and the muscles of mouth and vocal tract; when we learn, neurons adapt; when we think and feel, neurons become activated and coordinated. Neuroscience requires investigation at multiple levels of analysis, from microscopic analysis of cellular and molecular processes to histological analysis of brain tissue, to electrical and magnetic analysis of brain structure and function. How these systems work and develop allowing organisms to behave is the essence of neuroscience, and the multiple levels of analysis involved in these processes make neuroscience a truly interdisciplinary field.
Neuroscientists apply their methods to ask both basic and applied questions, some of which have been the subject of intense philosophical debate for centuries: What is the nature of the mind, and what is the link between mind and brain? What is language and how did it evolve? How do other species communicate? How is the brain structured and how does it develop? To what extent can nervous systems change and adapt?
Neuroscientists also address applied issues: What is the role of the nervous system in developmental disorders such as autism? Might neuroscience lead to the prevention or cure of disorders like autism, schizophrenia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or other disorders that affect the brain? Neuroscience may hold the key to these and related questions.
We welcome you to the Bucknell Lectures in Neuroscience. Our invited speakers are leaders in their field, and represent many different aspects of neuroscience. We are honored to have them visit our campus to address our students, faculty and community, to share their knowledge and enthusiasm as we inaugurate our Program in Neuroscience. We hope that you will join us in our celebration by participating in the Bucknell Lectures in Neuroscience.

This won't be your father's NAB. The show floor at the annual National Assn. of Broadcasters confab in Las Vegas (April 18-23) is sure to raise some eyebrows this year, with vidgame and content players seeping in among the more traditional broadcast and production hardware exhibitors.
Software giant Electronic Arts will be the first-ever large gaming company to show its wares at NAB (see adjoining story). MGM also will be there, touting ThisTV, its new programming service offering 4,000 movie titles and 10,000 TV episodes for broadcast stations' supplemental digital channels. Plus, lots of new platforms such as mobile television will be much in evidence.
"NAB is evolving," says Dennis Wharton, exec vice president of media relations. "When we got back from the show last year, we started kicking around ideas on how to attract new audiences."
But in fact, Wharton adds, NAB has been on an evolutionary curve since the early 1990s. At that time, he says, the show organizers made a conscious decision to open up the broadcast focus to other technologies, including cable, telco and satellite platforms.
"Visionaries in the broadcast business helped convince NAB to expand the show beyond the traditional broadcast business," he says. "We did that with the hope that it expose broadcasters to all kinds of new things. Obviously, the decision was the right one if you look at the scale and scope of the show."
Attendance at NAB stood at 104,000 last year; fully 25% of the showgoers came from outside the U.S. And the large traditional broadcast suppliers such as Sony, Panasonic and Harris have considered their NAB exhibits a necessary cost of doing business. In recent years they've been joined by players from peripheral fields, including, most notably, Apple.
But today's tight economy has been a factor in some companies' decisions to pull out of the show. Apple and Avid vanished last year. This year, Quantel bowed out.
But in a notable and exceptional reversal of the trend, Avid is returning to the NAB hall this year, signaling that the show still matters for exhibitors.
"We've learned that there were very important reasons to be on the floor," says Avid exec VP/general manager Kirk Arnold. "Our customers use the chance to engage with us directly, and we can … introduce ourselves to the next generation of media practitioners.
"The industry is going through a massive change, and in that change is opportunity," she continues. "We see an enormous amount of long-term opportunity for our customers in new models of distribution, new models in the newsroom. We're very conscious about the short-term pressure, but we have a long-term commitment."
The phenomenon Arnold describes as short-term pressure also translates to fewer attendees. How much attendance will drop this year is an open question. Wharton, who notes the show dipped by 25% in the wake of 9/11 and has been building back since then, scoffs at rumors that preregistration is 40% lower than last year's. "Not even close," he says, but acknowledges that "it'll be hard to hold the numbers we've had in the last few years. Realistically speaking in this economy, we'll be down. It all depends on how much on-site registration we get."
Just as Avid execs see good reasons to attend NAB, so do many attendees like Terence Curren, prexy of editing boutique Alpha Dogs Editorial in Burbank. Curren has been going to the show since the 1980s, and he's going again this year. "It's close, easy and inexpensive," he says.
Curren doesn't expect to see anything new from the big companies, since he hears the news or even sees the products from local vendors or beta programs. But that's not why he goes.
"It's mainly the networking," says Curren, who attends an annual lunch with a group of post boutique executives from all over the country.
"And I'm interested in the smaller exhibitors," he continues. "It's the little guys, the companies too small to advertise. You walk around and see some product that's really neat."
He's also interested in what he might glean about the future. "We're looking for where we're going to fit in the post-production chain," he says. "And where we can be a value-added vendor. Everybody is trying to figure that out, from the biggest studios to individual editors. Will broadcast TV be gone? What will we be doing in five or 10 years?"
While nobody knows the answer to that, Jimmy Schaeffler, chair of the Carmel Group research firm, has some encouraging words: "Despite all the challenging, these broadcasters retain remarkable assets — local connections, huge content libraries, relatively deep pockets and legacies and an unrivaled relationship with advertisers."
How everyone in the value chain maintains and evolves those assets is a conversation that will take place in Las Vegas, assuring — at least for 2009 — NAB's continued relevance.
