However, there are some older established neighborhoods closer to downtown that are quite desirable due to their proximity to the Mayo Clinic downtown campus. These neighborhoods include: Kutzky Park, Slatterly Park, Historic SW, Pill Hill, and Eastside Pioneers.
For more information please visit RNeighbors, a resource center for Rochester neighborhoods as well as other neighborhood information.

Oh my, do we ever love the library. It's no secret that the Rochester Public Library is one of our favorite places to take our little people. They have an extensive children's section, incredible children's programming, resources for ALL families, fun events (Stuffed Animal Sleepovers!), and helpful and familiar faces ready to help and point you in the right direction. They also have a great play space in partnership with the Minnesota Children's Museum-Rochester.
A few things to note:
- If you are registering for a library card, be sure to bring along some sort of verification of your local address.
- The library is located downtown. There is some street (metered) parking, but there is a handy ramp attached to the library for a minimal fee.
- The skyway access to the library is located on the 2nd level of the ramp. Follow the hallway to the elevator (there is a beautiful mural to look at!) and take that to ground level. There you will enter the library. The children's area is to the right.
- They have a drive-up book return on the west-side of the library near the entrance to the parking ramp.
There are two main medical care systems in Rochester: Olmsted Medical Center and Mayo Clinic. It is good to understand what each offers in terms of care for your family. There are highly recommended pediatricians at each facility: our neighborhood groups would be a great place to ask for personal recommendations.
Each clinic has fast care options for things like strep tests, ear infections and cold/flu symptoms:

Pro Surfer Attacked By Shark During Competition on Live TV (Video)
A frightening incident unfolded in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, during the final round of the World Surf League's J-Bay Open, as professional surfer Mick Fanning was attacked by a shark while out on the water.
The scary moment was captured during a live broadcast of the event. You can watch it below:
Sharks are in the lineup. @Mick_Fanning is OK. The #JBayOpen Final is on STANDBY http://t.co/Kq8bZ5eIA7 http://t.co/FusEoR2EHM
— #JBayOpen (@wsl) July 19, 2015
Following that attack, WSL commissioner Kieren Perrow decided to cancel the remainder of the event, with Fanning and fellow finalist Julian Wilson splitting the prize purse.
Thankfully, it appears as though everyone was able to escape the shark-infested waters unscathed. Here a statement that was released by the World Surf League following the attack:
"We are incredibly grateful that no one was seriously injured today. Mick's composure and quick acting in the face of a terrifying situation was nothing short of heroic and the rapid response of our Water Safety personnel was commendable — they are truly world class at what they do.
"The safety of our athletes is a priority for the WSL and, after discussions with both Finalists, we have decided to cancel the remainder of competition at the J-Bay Open. We appreciate the ongoing support we have in South Africa and once again want to express our gratitude to the Water Safety Team."
After surviving a shark attack and finishing in first place, I'd chalk this up as being one lucky day for Mick Fanning.

Every Child Matters
Every child has the right to a safe, permanent home; a loving and supportive environment; and the opportunity to be a child. Each year in the United States, millions of children are abused, neglected, or abandoned by their families. Eventually, many of these children end up in court with a judge deciding their future. Sometimes children become victims again, victims of an overburdened child welfare system. Sometimes a child can remain adrift in the system for months, even years. Ervery child deserves to begin their journey to recovery through a children's advocacy center, a child-friendly place where even the smallest and most vulnerable of child victims can feel safe telling what has happened to them and where their healing can begin.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the well-being of abused and neglected children through treatment, advocacy, prevention, and education. We offer space for all CAPS' programs, as well as, a child friendly atmosphere for our multidisciplinary response to child abuse and neglect. We offer the benefit of immediate follow-up on child abuse reports, better coordination of medical and mental health referrals, fewer child victim interviews, increased successful prosecution and a consistent continuum of support services to victims and their non-offending family members. We received national accreditation in June of 2004, becoming the first CAC in the state to attain ranking. Services are comprehensive and community oriented.
CAPS of the Blue Ridge, Inc. does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex,gender identity (including gender expression), sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, family/parental status, income derived from a public assistance program, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity with regards to the acceptance of victim referrals, provision of services, election of new team members, employment and/or volunteer opportunities.

The SAVE A BACK System
Unique Benefits Of Our System
On-Site Interactive Education available for immediate implementation
Obtainable results are initiated immediately within the first scheduled program. No financial investment in trainers is required. Extensive professional instruction is provided to all individuals regardless of their knowledge base. This results in reduction of costly minor or major injuries the same day the prevention program is implemented. SAVE A BACK instructors are injury prevention experts with over 200 years of combined teaching experience with actual work site employees.
Our initial four hour program provides on-site comprehensive back health and injury prevention education. This dynamic program creates enthusiasm and the motivation to change unhealthy behavior. SAVE A BACK uses an interactive multimedia approach to present a concise overview of safe material handling and effective movement strategies. Our main priority is to focus on identifying hazards, using safe techniques; applying successful solutions creates a culture of safety.
The elements covered include the following:
- An overview on why our program is needed
- Specifics of why they are at risk for injury
- Background on the safe handling & movement program
- Practice to enhance learning by all attendees.
Dynamic Certified Instructors
Instructors give great encouragement to creative employers who want to raise the standards, expectations and results for trusted employees. Our ongoing pursuit is that everyone benefits, which in turn strengthens the employee, the employer and the company.
All of our instructors are certified by SAVE A BACK to teach its educational program. They have degrees in physical therapy plus additional continuing educational and clinical experience. Each instructor completes a minimum of 600 hours of preparation before SAVE A BACK certification. They are experienced, skilled educators who have each presented a minimum of 500 SAVE A BACK educational classes.
Class Materials
In an ongoing effort to facilitate individual learning styles, a hardcopy guide of the presentation is included for each attendee of the program. Every student receives Class Notes, the SAVE A BACK handbook. Class Notes is an interactive booklet, which is provided as another resource to encourage participation during the program.
By allowing the attendees to "fill-in the blanks" with the information presented they solidify their learning experience. Included are photographs, explanations and exercises for proper care of the back, along with suggestions for a healthy nutrition program.
Attendees keep the Class Notes as a personal reference; a useful tool promoting long term benefits. This training resource tool is intended to develop and refresh knowledge as a readily available self-study exercise.
Flexibility and Personalization
We give to you the option to schedule your class depending on your specific work sift needs, which is critical to productivity. Production continues while a portion of employees attend the program to learn improved productivity techniques while others remain on the job. Production does not stop. Two classes can be taught effectively - any hour needed - each calendar day.
Personalization of your injury prevention program occurs at the work site when we match your company's job tasks, work environment, and special needs. Instructors are professionals in assessing physical needs. Visualizing the area of concern or describing the challenge creates a basis for the instructor to problem solve immediately on site with individuals involved.
In addition, incorporation of photos of your employees produces an effective visual presentation.
The role of SAVE A BACK is not static. It requires continued exposure to the new strategies to maintain safe work environments. Consequently, for twenty-four months following the initial program presentation, SAVE A BACK provides follow-up materials and resources available digitally to enhance the concepts taught in the program.
Refresher Programs
Additionally, ongoing biannual training is a must. Two-hour Refresher programs maintain and expanded impact. We strongly recommended that at every 18-24 month intervals, one of our two available formats are picked to satisfy employee and company needs.
Condensed refresher programs are available to those who have attended the initial SAVE A BACK program. Based on ongoing needs to maintain an effective prevention program, intervention is most applicable for those employees statistically at high-risk.
Multiple Language Programs
The SAVE A BACK class is available in English and Spanish.
If this looks like our injury prevention system would benefit your company, please contact us for a free review of your back safety training.

Environmental Litigation
We help you reduce liabilities at environmentally-impacted sites by determining matters of fact for your development of legal defenses. We locate documentation relevant to the following issues of third party liability:
- Point and non-point sources of pollution
- Quantity, character and timing of historical releases
- Natural resource baseline conditions and historical natural resource damages
- Past and present owners, operators, transporters, and generators
- Potentially responsible parties (PRPs) viability
- Historical operations and processes
- Storage, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials over time & from site to site
- Historical insurance coverage
We specialize in researching state and federal government liability and documenting permitted releases, government acceptance of irreversible and irretrievable losses of resources, government ownership/operator liability, and government wartime involvement.
Case Studies
Heritage was invaluable in our successful defense of a treaty fishing rights case. David and his extensive network of researchers around the country were not only able to collect an immense volume of highly relevant historical records about where our client tribe fished in the Pacific ocean in the 1800s (already a very difficult task); they were able to locate and retrieve documents often on a day's notice from archives in locations all around the world. Heritage went above and beyond mere document retrieval; they suggested other possible research routes or locations for relevant documents, and these suggestions were often fruitful. A significant quantity of the key documents in our case came from Heritage's research. We will certainly use them again and have recommended them to colleagues undertaking similar cases.

|In Rochester New York there are more metal bands than we can keep track of. But few have been around as long as the band
AGGRESSIVE BETTY. At this time they have been at it for about 17 years and going strong.
They recently released a new album called "VAMPIRE STATE". The music on this release is solid old school metal with a
strong modern sound. They are one of the few metal bands in the area that has stayed true to their original form. Plenty of
guitar work, solos, harmonies and actual singing, as apposed to the ever popular growling that we have become all too familiar
with in the past decade or so.
Here we talk to the current band members, Rob Buttach - Guitars and Lead Vocals, Kevin Dettman - Guitars and vocals, Jeff
Buzzard - Drums and vocals, Paul Towsley- Bass and vocals.
|Aggressive Betty has been around for quite a while.
Can you tell us a little about the history of the band?
|Jeff: I've been the drummer since 2009. Rob and Kevin are original members. Paul joined in early 2016.
What I've been told, the band has been around since 2000.
Before that, Kevin and Rob met and formed Fear Not, which turned to Livid, and eventually they formed
Aggressive Betty.
Paul: (Origin of the name Aggressive Betty) During the first year of the American Civil War a wide eyed Virginia
farmhand took to bed a rich plantation
heiress, but soon thereafter fled the advancing confederate army.
The scorned young lady (with child) used her families vast resources to track the young man North to force his
hand in marriage. The story of this pursuit circulated the among the Union soldiers and the tale of "Aggressive
Betty" reached nearly the epic stature of great American tales like Paul Bunyan and John Henry
The new full length release "Vampire State" sounds great!
It has an old school vibe with some modern elements. Is that how would you describe your music?
Kevin: I think that's a fairly accurate statement. For good or bad, we've never really been a band that follows the
trend. We just do what comes naturally. I like to say that were a traditional style band that has its own style. In the
end, I think that our individual influences really make our sound what it is. We all have a love for bands like
Pantera and Sabbath, but for example Paul is a huge Primus fan. I'm a big Pink Floyd guy. Rob always loved
Ozzy. If you take all our influences and give them a kick in the ass, that's basically where we end up.
|How was the recording process?
Where was it done and who was involved?
Paul: Oblivion Studios. Produced and engineered by Kevin
Murphy (from Vanity Strikes) and Aggressive Betty.
Jeff: The recording process went very smooth. Kevin Murphy
was easy to work with and really knew how to engineer and
help produce the best Betty sound to date.
This is your 3rd release, care to tell us about the
previous releases??
|Kevin: Our first CD was self titled and was released in the spring
when we were kids. There were a few new writes on it but a lot of
that disk was put together over a long period of time. That CD is a
lot tamer than our current sound, which has gotten beefier as the
years have went on. I still love that disk but it was more of a period
piece for us.
The next release was an EP entitled "Demoralized" and we
released that one a few years back. That one was done fairly bare
bones. We recorded it in our jam room on a laptop and it kind of
sounded like it. Lol. I mean we support all of our previous
recordings, but that one actually set the tone for the way we
approached the recording process for this one. Polar opposite
recording techniques, but that's where we needed to be this time
What is the songwriting process like for AB? Is there a key
songwriter? Do you have specific roles or a formula?
Kevin: We all have our roles. There isn't really a formula. But a lot
of the time, it starts with one of us coming up with a riff or a hook.
Another guy will come up and say "well, let me play this over the
top". Once we get a few core riffs together, the process starts.
|We'll start playing around with layers and tempos. Rob will start writing the hook and with a little bit of luck, well
end up with a competent piece of music.
How would you describe the relationship between band members?
Paul: Brotherhood. Despite strong opinions, disagreements and getting on each others nerves once in a while,
we always come back together for the good of the band.
|Jeff: "We are close friends/brothers and gel well together. I agree with what Paul said, but will add that I think we NEED this
band for the sake of our sanity and the release it gives us- keeps us young!
Where do you collectively draw inspiration from?
Jeff: I think we draw inspiration from the music we grew up with. I personally grew up listening to my parent's oldie's music for the
50's, 60's, 70's. Although I didn't appreciate at the time, I think that gave me insight into different musical styles.
|Eventually I was exposed to classic rock, which then turned me to heavier sounds, and then I heard metal and was hooked.
Are there any bands or artists that you model yourselves after?
|Paul: I like to follow the model of independent artists like Les Claypool
and Ani Difranco who record and produce their own work, as
well as bring other musicians into their orbit. These artists used to
work for big record companies, but once the contract was up, went
and did it on their own.
What's the best show you have done so far?
Jeff: I don't know if I can pinpoint one show in particular as the best.
Playing gigs and sharing the stage with some of our musical heroes
we grew up listening to are probably some of the best.
Gigs with Joey Belladonna, Geoff Tate, Metal Church, Exodus, stand
out for me.
Our cd release show on 4/29/17 was one of the best as well!
What is the funniest story you can tell us about that took place
at one of your shows?
|Jeff: Kevin and Rob have told the midget story a few times hahaha. Apparently, AB was on stage playing their set at a local bar, and a female midget in the crowd had her eye on
Kevin. She jumped up on stage and tried to 'have her way with him' if you will. She wouldn't stop trying to grab him until she was pulled off stage. I wish I had seen that!!

New York is generally considered an "employment at will" state. This means that a private sector employer can hire and fire an employee at will as he or she pleases. The discharged employee will usually have little to no legal recourse, even when the firing is based on incorrect information or is unreasonable.
Of course, there are exceptions to this general rule:
- Union Contract: If the employee is a union member and employed under a union contract, then s/he is entitled to the protections written into that contract. Even if s/he is not a union member, the employee might be protected by a written agreement.
- Employee Handbook: If an employer distributes an employee manual or handbook containing rules and conditions under which an employee at will may be discharged or steps created that may precede discharge, then the employee may be afforded those rights outlined. An experienced employment attorney can advise you on any specific situation.
- Politics: If the employee was discharged because of his / her participation in a lawful political or recreational activity, the employee may have a claim for wrongful termination.
- Whistleblower: If an employee is fired for reporting a violation of law which creates and presents a specific danger to public health or safety, or is fired for refusing to participate in such an activity, then the employer may be exposed to a claim for back pay, reinstatement and attorney's fees by the whistle-blowing employee.
- Jury Duty: Since attendance at jury duty is a civic obligation of all citizens, an employer who is notified in advance of a employee's jury summons cannot fire that employee at will for that absence.
- Worker's Compensation: An employer cannot fire an employee at will because s/he filed a Worker's Compensation or claim for disability benefits. This is considered to be a retaliatory discharge of employment and is actionable.
- Human Rights Law: New York Law prohibits employers from firing an employee at will because of his or her race, religion, gender, place of national origin, age, marital status or disability. In New York City, employers cannot fire an employee based on sexual orientation, arrest or conviction, partnership status, and status as a victim of certain crimes. These grounds are probably the most commonly claimed violations in most New York employment lawsuits.
Outside of the above exceptions, New York employers are well within their rights to fire an employee at will. But it is always advisable to consult with an attorney with knowledge of New York employment law if you and your business are unsure about your given situation._____

comment about imate jama: its really worst...
Some I mate phone like the jasjam have a problem with the battery connecters as the plastic holding the brass connectors ( you can see them when you remove the battery from the back on thye side) gets a small crack and does not connect well with the mother board, the phone does not get power and actually does not work with no propper battery connected, the service centers usually miss diagnosing this problem, it can only be recognised by taking the phone apart and checking the base of the connectors. If you have no experience with weldering and molding don't try this fix yoyrself but get a technichain to do it infront of you if you can,

BOSTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Hedge fund industry marketing veteran Brian Shapiro joined Private Client Resources LLC as a senior vice president of product strategy and marketing, PCR said on Tuesday.
Shapiro comes to PCR, which offers data reporting to private banks and investment advisory firms, as the company is stepping up its coverage of hedge funds, private equity and real estate firms.
He previously worked at Simplify, a company that researches hedge funds for clients, where he had been president. Before that Shapiro was a founding member of Gapstow Capital Partners, a $1.2 billion multi-manager and private equity platform focused on credit markets and real estate debt.

Watch Blade (1998) Online
Wesley Snipes stars as the half-human, half-vampire hero of Marvel's cult comic books. From the moment his mum was nipped by a bloodsucker during pregnancy, Blade was destined to be different. Blessed - or cursed - with unique physical gifts, he is forever an outsider. But when a vampire overlord (Stephen Dorff) rises to cause global carnage, he thankfully opts to fight for the human side. British director Stephen Norrington dishes up blood-and-guts fantasy action by the bucketful, abetted by the simmeringly cool Snipes (you wouldn't like him when he's angry) and Kris Kristofferson as his trusty, crusty sidekick.

Newsflash: New York City Witnessing Campaign
Sometimes less is more…
We hoped for 24 full-time campaigners for our 2003 New York City Summer Witnessing Campaign—got 17, but what a great crew! They're really cranking! Fourteen days into the campaign, as of lunchtime, Monday, July 14, they've handed out 382,835 broadside tracts, have gotten the names of 180 unbelieving Jews and 167 Gentiles willing to hear more about Jesus. Twelve Jews and 32 Gentiles have prayed to receive Jesus so far.
55,700 of those broadsides went out on the 4th of July. To see the tracts we passed out that day, click here:
TO SEE PHOTOS FROM OUR NEW YORK CITY CAMPAIGN, click here:
**While a team was still on a sortie (tract-passing expedition) at Lincoln Center, a Jewish woman who received one of our broadside tracts there called our office and prayed with missionary Susan Mendelson to receive the Lord. Please pray for this new Jewish sister named Meera. (She has already met twice with Susan for discipleship; pray she continues.)
** Abraham Sandler was returning from a sortie on the subway when a young Israeli saw his shirt and said, "Jews For Jesus? I'm going to a party to get wasted, what do you think Jesus thinks about that?" Omer actually listened for two stops as Abraham told him about sin, salvation and the Savior. Please pray for Omer's salvation.
**Stephen Katz was on a sortie on the Upper West Side of Manhattan when a Muslim in his late 20s or early 30s politely approached and expressed curiosity about the Jews for Jesus shirt. Nadir had attended Catholic school as a child, but had not previously understood the concepts of sin and salvation. He prayed with Stephen to receive the Lord! Please pray for Nadir to grow in grace.

We don't think much has changed this year. In fact, content will continue to play a large role in online brand visibility. Content goes beyond the written word – especially this year – to include video, SlideShare, and other interactive formats. So hold on to your hats… Big Data is going to get even bigger!

Form | Kata
Beyond an inscription found on a statue or a headstone lays traces of memory; a journey lived in a lifetime: an idea that surpasses the person's transience. The inscribed name and date bears a weight tenfold the heft of an entombed marble stone. These 'footnotes' parley an entirety of the past to be relished in the present and to be discovered in the future. In each cast concrete is groundwork to personal and collective history.
In Form | Kata, Roberto M. A. Robles showcases works that highlight the simplicity and rawness of forms. Their facile feat is a testament to Robles' immersion to traditional oriental sculptural practices in which forms are carved down to their essential forms. Within each block of forms is a historically charged narrative, a personal biography condensed to its basic materiality. His integration of texts on each object serves as a hint, a provenance of idea behind every piece. Devoid of color and ornamental designs, their minimal and abstracted forms invite viewers to engage with the sculptures in an introspective manner.
In most of his sculptures for Form, Robles uses his 2013 solo exhibition entitled The Calling of Saint Matthew, Images into Metaphor as a starting point. His abstract paintings and sculptures from his previous show are now further abstracted and take a sculptural form.
In Matthew Work No. 3 (St. Erasmus) Robles alludes to his painting referencing "Wright Cycle Co.," a company owned by the Wright Brothers, where he painted an abstract image of geometrical shapes. The images somehow resemble the sculptural figures in his current piece. Atop the vertical rectangular piece is an object inscribed with St. Erasmus inspired by Poussin's painting of "Martyrdom Of St. Erasmus." A mere acquaintance to Poussin's depiction of the scene opens a clear view on how these two works are related. The picture depicts a stripped naked Erasmus lying on his back while being tortured by a man standing beside him. Robles' creation of an abstract form of the same scene resulted into a two level platform, forming an L-shaped object that seemingly relates to the position of Erasmus and his torturer. The story of Erasmus is a story of triumph of faith and unyielding will of man to defy a colossal obstacle. This theme is echoed by the Wright brothers' invention of the first biplane. Their understanding of wheeling a bicycle and experimentation allowed them to one day defy the force of gravity. The assemblage of these three sculptures now serves as an anecdote that looks back at Robles' artistic history and a memento of man's technical and moral accomplishment.
In his work Matthew Work No. 8 (Laocoon and his Sons), Robles uses his previous painting of a ventilator-duct with industrial attributes highlighted with gray hues to advent his sculpture of a single air duct. The view of the painting suggests homage to the Greek sculpture of the 'Laocoon Group,' an iconic image depicting human agony. The mythology of Laocoon entwines with Robles' personal experience at a gas station in 2011 - of being disturbed by the ventilator-ducts' clattered noise. The once painted cluster of ducts reminiscent of the Laocoon Group sculpture is further transformed into an arresting object made of cardboard. The unraveling of the sculptures' detail circles back to the Greek mythology of the priest Laocoon's tragic story, who met his fate during his attempt to expose the truth behind the Trojan horse. The piece showcased, can be viewed as a version of the Trojan horse with its deceiving external attribute of an actual ventilator-duct and a completion of a narrative foretold through the subconscious.
Matthew Work No. 9 is a nod to Michelangelo Carravagio's painting 'The Calling of St. Matthew' where a ray of light touching the pavement is directed towards St. Matthew. Removing the human figures in his 2013 work, Robles painted the same scene accentuation the ray of light, inducting its importance to the picture. In its sculptural form, the rectangular white object denotes the end point of the painting light, where it touches St. Matthew's awe-struck expression.
The cone-shaped plaster cast object entitled Matthew Work No. 12 ruminates around the concept of foundations of figurative sculpture. Robles recreates a 'joint' used in large-scale figurative sculptures inspired by a photo of French sculptor Auguste Rodin working on a sculpture of a famous person. An initial version of the joint connotes assemblage – the single unseen part of a sculpture that allows it to be erected. The recreation of another joint holds a different meaning as Robles attempts to encapsulate the visceral image of a disassembled sculpture of the Socialist leader, Lenin during a protest rally in Kiev, Ukraine in 2013.
Embodying Robles' vantage point on local social struggles and issues is his Homage to Plane, the Ass and the Old Shepherd. Providing an abstract image of a flat plane object, we find a negotiation between Aesop's fables, the state of the Filipino masses and their relationship with the change in our government. As each changing head of state, there retains a status quo of the poor, providing a 'nominal' kind of change.
In an isolated room, we find a three-layered sculpture of Mindoro marble, with three sides partially refined to reveal the marble's natural streaks of color; and on one side, rough edges are retained, conjuring the Japanese idea of 'wabi-sabi' or art revering the imperfect. The massive volume of Robles' sculpture and his minimal intervention reflects his artistic vision of 'Kata' or form. In it, he allows the marbles' stained surfaces and crevices relay a story of nature and an interconnected history between man and nature. In it, we see a fossilization of the metamorphic rock's unique characteristics that leaves poetic undertone promoting conservation of our own Filipino heritage, culture and identity. •
Press Release
Roberto M. A. Robles, returns to the basicity of form and examines a piece as a post-sculptural work. He rediscovers light and shadows through tones of gray, black and white that result in a new dimensional angle.
An accomplished artist, Roberto M. A. Robles is both a painter and a sculptor that has been educated in the Philippines and Japan. His work has been exhibited in the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Vargas Museum, 17th Asian International Art Exhibition Daejeon Municipal Museum of Art, South Korea, Jiyu Group Exhibitions Tokyo Metropolitan Museum, Japan. He has also had a retrospective in Ateneo Art Gallery in 2011.

Link: Yahoo Picks Former Autodesk Chief to Succeed Yang
In a conference call with analysts, [incoming CEO Carol Bartz] acknowledged that Yahoo faced significant challenges but said she believed that the company's strong brand and market position gave it a "huge opportunity."
Ms. Bartz also delivered some of the colorful rhetoric she has become known for. "I think Yahoo has unfortunately been battered in the last year and that has caused it to look internally and be protective," Ms. Bartz said. "That's nonsense for such a great company and such a great franchise." She said that after reviewing the business, she planned to turn Yahoo's focus outward. She also said that Yahoo had some great assets that "frankly, could use a little management."
As a former Yahoo manager whose job description was to employ the use of colorful rhetoric to encourage the company to face outward, I can say with confidence that this is right on the money. (A lot of current and former colleagues I've talked to agree that Yahoo's culture — which emphasized getting along rather than winning — has been one of its biggest problems, and this cultural problem is rooted more deeply and goes back further than anything related to its relationship with Microsoft.)
I'm really looking forward to seeing what Carol Bartz can do here.

We have a bit of a mouse problem at our house. Today, I found the third one in the little over a year that we've lived here. We can't figure out how they get in. The last one lived in our house for WEEKS before I caught him. I won't use mouse traps, because I don't want them to die. So I usually leave out food, and wait until I can catch them.
I didn't know about this one, though. I don't know how long it's been in the house, though with a cat, I suspect not long. My roommate said that my cat was unduly interested in the bottom of our lazy-boy chair while I was out today, and then when I got home, I saw my cat checking it out again. Curious, I went to see what he saw – and it was a little mousie!
I popped my cat into the bathroom (my roommate thought I should just "let him get it"), and I put him outside. Poor thing has a bite mark in his head though, and his back paw was broken. I gave him a big BIG piece of cheese outside, and I hope he makes it.
…I wanted to make him my pet.

Big money, small field
CHICAGO - A major-league purse of $750,000 should lure good handicap horses to Chicago this weekend, but the siren call of Saturday's Hawthorne Gold Cup mainly is falling on deaf ears.
Hustling Hawthorne racing officials are staring at a short field in the Grade 2 Gold Cup, which is scheduled as a stepping-stone for the Breeders' Cup Classic and boasts the purse power to lure a top horse. As of Monday, the 1 1/4-mile race had only three confirmed starters, and among that trio Perfect Drift is the only one with name recognition. Quest Star, mostly a grass horse, and Sonic West, a distant third in the Sept. 18 Kentucky Cup Classic, also are expected to ship for the race.
The Gold Cup faces competition on both coasts - this weekend from the Jockey Club Gold Cup in the East, the Goodwood Handicap in California, and the Grade 3, $100,000 Turfway Park Fall Championship, and on Oct. 8 from the Meadowlands Cup. It is a case of too many races and too few horses.
Officials here hoped that either Funny Cide or Evening Attire would defect from the Jockey Club Gold Cup and come to Hawthorne, but with Peace Rules having been retired and taken out of the Jockey Club Gold Cup, neither of those two is leaving home. But since Hawthorne's race is coming up short, Bobby Frankel is considering the spot for Powerful Touch, an easy Belmont Park allowance winner Sept. 6.
The anticipated short field here also has Neil Howard reconsidering his options with Alumni Hall, fourth last out in the Saratoga Breeders' Cup. Howard has been pointing Alumni Hall for the Turfway race, but said there was a slim chance he would ship to Hawthorne instead.
"I'm not ruling it out," Howard said. "I had it all set for the race at Turfway, but I'd like to take advantage of the weight we'd be getting from Perfect Drift."
Perfect Drift was assigned 121 pounds for the Gold Cup, Alumni Hall 111.
Cuccurullo working for Asmussen
Pat Cuccurullo has returned to training horses in Chicago, but he is doing so as the assistant for trainer Steve Asmussen. Asmussen, on pace to set an all-time training record for wins in a year, has about 35 horses at Hawthorne this meet, a much stronger presence than in recent seasons. Asmussen claimed three horses for himself here Sunday.
Cuccurullo took time off after splitting with owner Frank Calabrese this summer at Arlington, about seven months after taking over from Wayne Catalano as Calabrese's private trainer.
"I just had a little vacation time with the family," said Cuccurullo.
This is Cuccurullo's second stint as an Asmussen assistant. Six years ago, after Cuccurullo had left racing to pursue other business opportunities, he oversaw an Asmussen string at Oaklawn Park.
"He needed somebody to work here, and I needed work, and that's about the whole story," Cuccurullo said Tuesday morning.
Three Hour Nap Kentucky-bound?
Arlington-Washington Futurity winner Three Hour Nap remains a possible starter in the Oct. 9 Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland, but trainer and co-owner Hugh Robertson said the colt would only ship to Kentucky if he looked like one of the top choices in the race.
"If there were three or four heavy hitters coming in, I wouldn't go," Robertson said. "If we could be third or fourth choice, I'd probably go. It is $500,000."
Three Hour Nap, 3 for 3 in his career, came out of his Arlington-Washington Futurity win in good physical condition. If he hadn't, Robertson wouldn't even be entertaining a trip to Keeneland. But Robertson wants to see Three Hour Nap breeze and assess the competition before drawing up any final plans.
"I just don't like running a 2-year-old so much in such a short time," he said. "If he were to go to Keeneland, that'd be it for the year."
Don't overthink Thursday allowance
There is no real feature on Hawthorne's nine-race Thursday program. An entry-level allowance, race 6, will have to suffice as the headliner.
The race is for fillies, and like most Hawthorne first-level allowance races, it boasts a wide range of horses. There are recent claimers, ex-claimers, conditioned claimers - and even a real allowance horse, Creeker's Surprise. Of the 10 horses entered in the race, only Creeker's Surprise and Take D'Tour have never run for a claiming price. How about those two for the exacta?
Creeker's Surprise, from the barn of trainer Jerry Calvin, had a decent Oaklawn meet late last winter, finishing second and fourth in maiden races to start her career before breaking through with a victory on March 25. But the filly never had a chance to build on her victory: Creeker's Surprise didn't run again until Sept. 12, when she closed from far back to finish third in a decent Arlington allowance sprint. That race was at six furlongs, Thursday's at 6 1/2, and the added ground is to Creeker's Surprise's benefit.
Take D'Tour, trained by Noel Hickey, has worked fast at Canterbury Park for her first start in two months.

We are able to support community/ Landcare groups in a number of ways from assisting in obtaining project funding from local authorities, central government and corporate groups to providing one-off or ongoing technical support. We have assisted groups in the past to obtain Biodiversity Advice Funding (DoC) that was used for the preparation of Restorations Plans, which continues to guide the practical implementation of these projects. We have also worked closely for many years with the Environmental grants administered by Auckland Council and the various legacy Councils including ARC.
Assistance in obtaining funding for environmental initiatives is not limited to community groups and we are happy to work with individuals/ private landowners seeking to obtain funding for voluntary (i.e. not consent/ compliance related) projects.

Your pets aren't dumb. They see what you're doing. They know what happens when you pull out that suitcase and they are having none of it. Nope. Zero, nada.
1. "Maybe if I lay very still, you won't notice me coming with you."
2. "No, sorry. Belongs to cats now."
3. "Did you know I am a travel-sized dog?"
4. "We'll both need these where we're going."
5. "I don't see what the problem here is."
6. "Oh.....hi."
7. "Simple math. Dog doesn't get off suitcase, you don't get suitcase, you stay home."
8. "We're ready to go whenever you are. All loaded up in the cat cart."
9. "Who needs jeans when you have ME?"
10. "We checked and there's plenty of room for us."
11. "Can't you at least leave your clothes with me?"
12. "Suitcase? Haven't seen it."
13. "Don't worry, we pack light. We just need this one pillow."
14. "Shhhhh, don't say anything and the human might not see us."
15. "This is a sit-in. Please stay home."
16. "This face. How can you leave this face?"
17. "Oh, me? Don't mind me. I'll just watch you pack. Sadly. While crying."

When I freak over the metallic-ginko-green-on-mushroom cushions, she laughs & says they stopped in Walmart for car fluid & found the fabric there. Of course she did. But she used the backside, which you'd never know because it's perfectly finished with bias piping. She wasn't going to mention it.
The boys become lost in her lush vegetable garden, where the sprinklers shoot from the top of the fence above their heads. They hug chickens of all sizes, including a few that look like clucking ottomans before climbing into the kid's playhouse, which they built & painted to match the big one.
She feeds us kale chips, open-faced broccoli & cold-cut sandwiches with freshly grated parmessan. Her spaghetti sauce is in yogurt containers, because she made it from scratch, & her yogurt is in spaghetti jars for the same reason. Iced tea has been marinating with a bit of sweet for just this moment. When she opens a fresh plum jam for breakfast, I tear up it is so beautiful & we have a little sisterly giggle-cry over how much I appreciate what she brings to the table. I do. As a whole foods devotee, I appreciate that she brings it. Literally.
She throws on a little apron that she pieced together from an old black t-shirt. With it's pin-thin straps that criss-cross all over, it's a bit rock n' roll & sexy, sexy, sexy. Again, that never would have occurred to her. In her softly made world nothing feels contrived, and everything feels fresh & use-full.
Friendship can give us something to aspire towards, if we're lucky. And I am.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by dice, Dec 26, 2008.
I see what you did there Japan! Though I wish you'd use an actual anagram instead of inventing silly nonsensical titles :/
P.S. In retrospect, it was foolish of me to expect any kind of respect towards English language from a company that has a "?haractor" section on their game's main page, jeez.
If they used the actual story I would have zero interest in it and am sure millions of people too.
nothing beats taking a known story and animified it.
so fast!
Actually, pr0n does...but then, porn pretty much trumps everything.
Anyway, the control wheel thing sure seems gimmicky. I tried to check it out earlier, but the file I got was corrupted. I'm curious just to check it out, though I do hope an English version is fast on the heels of this release.
This one completely slipped me. I've been wanting to try this one.
this game is made based on the wizard of the oz
some even say this game is competing for the best graphic for DS game
i like the control~! is like using a ball to push forward.. backward and etc
battle is just traditional turn based RPG
I'm I the only one that noticed Riz-Zoawd can also spell wiZaRd-oz
nice graphic, but that first person battle sucks big time, so I really don't care about this game
Seems mildly interesting. The visuals are quite nice. I'd probably enjoy a slighty different type of traditional RPG. However, from the short time I spent with it, the battle system seemed slightly wierd. You seem to set a round of four actions, and then you can't change them until they are done. Which is bad, in case you'd wanna heal or something. Didn't quite like that. It might make more sense with more characters in your party, though. Will definately check it out again if it sees an English release.
No, obviously not.
The game didn't look fun nor interesting to me, but I might get this just because Hitoshi Sakimoto made the soundtrack.
is it possible that somebody translate the Game?
Nice control scheme for a Sonic game. Did you listen Sega? Watch and learn.
I just wanted to spread the news, that this game is getting a localization (by XSEED). I wan`t sure, if it is worth, to make a whole new thread but I am really interested in this game so good news for me and maybe for others!

Today in the mail I received a this Panda T-Shirt from Woman's Fashion. They are a woman's fashion seller that focuses on Korean fashion. They ship worldwide. I'm not normally a big fan of t-shirts, but I really do love this one. It has long sleeves, but since I have long arms I push all of my sleeves up. The print is super adorable, and works very well with my jeans.ReplyDelete

My baby Toby passed away last Wednesday, March 22, 2017. He was 14 years old. I picked up his urn and other things this Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at his vet Dr. Ferber's Animal Hospital. Everything you guys made was beautiful. In fact, I wish I would've been able to get more things! Thank you so much for making this process better for my baby Toby. It has also brought me more peace knowing Toby is now back home with me. Words are not enough to express how thankful and appreciative I am of you guys. It means the world to me that you guys took such good care of my boy the way I would've if I could've. God bless you all & know you have touched many lives like mine.
Our dog, Boots, passed away on May 17, 2016. It was an incredibly sad day for us. Our hearts were completely broken. The staff at Banfield (Lakeline mall area) assured us he would be taken care of in a beautiful way. That was an understatement. The engraved wooden box, the pin, the paw print, the purple bag was more than I expected. You've done a wonderful job. As painful as it was to return to Banfield, You've made this sad and tragic experience into a happy one. You've made this journey complete. Thank you so much for an outstanding job. We will treasure this forever.
I received my adorable little "Dominic" last Friday (05/20/16) from Banfield Pet Hospital. I only had Dominic less than 6 months, giving him a forever home. He gave me so much love and joy! But, something happen to his little heart. I want to express to you and your facility "THANK YOU" for the beautiful end-of-life services for my little "Dominic". Everything you enclosed was all very much appreciated but receiving the little zip-lock bag with his very own hair touched me so very much. Again, Thank You – Thank You!!!
Since 1972, Sunset Animal Clinic has had the privilege of relying on Pet Heaven to care for our patients' remains with the respect they deserve. Flawlessly dependable, highly responsive and admirably progressive, this family-style operation has always been characterized by the deep and abiding respect for animals they share with veterinarians like us. All these years, it's been a tremendous benefit to be able to comfort our clients –– without hesitation –– with the certain knowledge that their pets were in kind and honorable hands until the very last step in their physical path.
From the first day I met him as a four week old kitten in 1997, Harley was very demanding. He would not be ignored, and frankly it was difficult not to constantly pay attention to that sweet face and 'luxury fur'. We got to spend 17 action-packed, incredible years together and he was spoiled rotten the entire time – always the best for my Harley Kenneth! So it should be no surprise that even when the time came for him to leave my side, I wanted the absolute best for him. I did my research and chose All Paws Go To Heaven (now The Pet Loss Center) to handle his after-death care, and they did not disappoint. From the first emotional phone call to the dreaded pick-up to the anxiously awaited return of his ashes, every person I dealt with was caring, comforting and every bit as in the moment as I was. He was treated in death just as he was in life…like a little king. With something like this, you desperately want to avoid regrets because they can haunt you forever, and thankfully because I trusted these wonderful people with my special angel, I have absolutely no regrets.
We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the care and concern that you showed to our girl Harley. We are Paws In the City volunteers and contacted your company because you are a Paws sponsor. We are so glad that we found out about you because you could not have been nicer or more respectful during this awful week.
I received my oak urn with the remains of my beloved "Mouse" cat today, and I wish to commend you folks for exceeding my expectations. The urn is beautiful and professionally crafted and the accompanying information was very helpful. Thank you for making my terrible experience more bearable.
I recently said "Good-Bye" to my Boston Terrier. When my vet arranged private cremation I just knew I would have to bring her home once again. It was another emotional moment when I picked her up. Looking at that little urn brought on more tears, but I must say it sure is nice to have that urn placed next to a great picture of her in her younger & healthier years.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your help with Mushu. I received him today via Dr. Marmesh's office. Your package with the pin and the cards was very comforting. I initially spoke with Jason at your establishment who was extremely kind, immediately helped me and, in my opinion, is an asset to your company. Again, thanks for your courtesies.

If you didn't see it last week, and you probably didn't because about 17 people in the United States care about soccer (or Football in every other part of the world), the U.S. Soccer team failed to qualify for the World Cup. The World Cup for soccer is like the Olympics for every other sport. It's the single largest soccer tournament on the planet that is only played every 4 years and the top 32 teams in the world are invited to play in it.
Let that sink in a minute.
The United States has over 300 million people. We lost to Trinidad and Tobago who have roughly 1.5 million people. The U.S. has more kids playing soccer than all of the country's population of the team they lost to! Okay, we also lost to other countries that were much smaller than us, as part of the qualifying process. So, this wasn't a fluke. The U.S. is not one of the top 32 teams in a sport that most of the world plays as their number one sport.
If we dig into many of the reasons why the U.S. continues to fail at soccer on the world stage, where we have significantly more resources than most nations playing soccer, there are a couple that stand out as things that also impact how we select employees.
If you go to other countries around the world you'll notice one big difference when it comes to sport, and especially youth sports. In every other country I've visited, I'll see many soccer fields with young kids playing on them, and almost never see an American football field, a baseball field, a basketball court, a hockey ice arena, etc. Also, these fields are usually bare of grass. They get played on so much, it's just hardpacked dirt. Many times the kids don't have cleats or even shoes, they play in their bare feet.
If you play soccer in the U.S. you usually play on manicured fields, on club teams your parents are paying thousands of dollars for you to play on, with uniforms, cleats, and gear that cost more than most poor families make in a year, against a bunch of other kids who look very similar to you. And snacks! You always have some kind of organic, vegan grape, tofu mix sprinkled with protein powder and pine needles, again, costing more than most families spend in an entire week for groceries.
The reality is, soccer fails in the U.S. because we continue to select soccer players who are coming from a small, privileged part of our society. They are not the best athletes. They are the best athletes of those playing soccer, which might be the fourth, or fifth, or sixth most popular decision for athletes in the U.S. In Trinidad and Tobago every kid can and does play soccer. From the moment they can walk. Money is not an issue. Everyone has an opportunity to get in the top of the funnel.
The more I get into my career in HR and Talent Acquisition, I'm realizing so many companies are hiring like the U.S. selects soccer players. We only go to certain schools. Goldman Sachs isn't headed to North Alabama University to hire. They go to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Brown, etc. Google isn't going to Southwestern Missouri U to hire developers, they go to USC, University of Michigan, MIT, Stanford, etc.
Elite schools must mean elite students, right?
When you look for your next Director of Finance, you're not looking at John's Trucking Company, you're looking at the 27-year-old who worked at Facebook. We are an elitist country that has bought into our own bullshit. We are stuck on brands at every level. Working for the right brand makes you feel like some sort of celebrity. But, it doesn't actually make you elite.
Soccer is not a hard sport to dominate. The United States should easily be one of the top 3 teams in the world each and every World Cup. It's simple economics of resources and population, except for the fact we only touch a tiny fraction of the population when it comes to soccer. Can you imagine if Lebron James grew up having the opportunity to play soccer? Or O'dell Beckham, Jr? Or Aaron Judge?
Most organizations are hiring in the same manner, yet we're perplexed when we keep getting the same results. The key to great hiring, and apparently fielding a world-class soccer team, is inclusion, not exclusion. It's not about more money. It's about opening up opportunity.

MEDIA >> The Media Arts Council presents two very different series of photographs from local artists Patrice Zinck and Craig Reger during an exhibit through March 3 at MAC Gallery, 609-B W. State St.
Zinck's images — landscapes, cars, seascapes, or still life — are a reflection of the connection she feels with a subject. She has a wide range of interests when looking for compelling subjects or creating images in her studio. Her intention is to capture the essence of the subjects using the photography.
Reger is a black-and-white film photographer who concentrates on the human element. His featured work this month focuses on one weekend — the inauguration of the current president of the United States and the Women's March on Washington protest that followed, where Reger turned his lens toward the individual.
Gallery hours are 4-7 p.m. Thursday-Saturday. For information, visit www.mediaartscouncil.org

Get help with lead paint
MEDIA >> Community Action Agency of Delaware County, Inc. (CAADC) is now accepting applications for the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program. In this program, qualifying families who have a child age 5 or under may qualify for new windows and other repairs to help remediate lead paint hazards. Once an application is received, CAADC staff meets with the applicant to explain the program in detail and discuss the hazard of lead-based paint in the home.
Next, a lead audit is performed by a licensed firm. A report is prepared showing where lead paint exists in the home. CAADC then prepares a scope of work detailing the steps that will be taken to remove or reduce the lead to acceptable levels. This may include replacing doors and windows, installing new drywall, replacing trim and moldings, etc. When the renovations are complete, another lead audit is performed to be sure that all lead has been removed or reduced to acceptable levels. A copy of the final report, along with educational materials relating to lead hazards, is then given to the family.
To qualify, applicants must: Meet certain income guidelines; have a child age 5 or under at the time of application; be a homeowner (renters are not eligible at this time); and Be a resident of Delaware County (not all communities are eligible).
For information or to receive an application, e-mail Debbie Brodeur at email@example.com. This program is funded by the Delaware County Office of Housing and Community Development and the Lawrence County Community Action Partnership.

Mickey Vernon centennial underway
RADNOR >> The Sports Legends of Delaware County Museum announces a year-long celebration to honor the birth of James Barton (Mickey) Vernon in 2018.
With apologies to other great players of local origin. it can be readily argued that Mickey is certainly the greatest baseball player that Delaware County has ever produced. Born on April 22, 1918, and a native of Marcus Hook, Vernon was a two-time American League batting champion and seven-time All-Star.
During 2018, the SLDC website presents a video clip and sports card each month throughout the year to commemorate the centennial. Called "Celebrating a Life Well-Lived," the clips consist of a series of 12 interview segments in which Mickey reminisces about his years in baseball. Many of the segments were filmed just nine days before his death on Sept. 24, 2008.
The interview segments are compiled on a DVD "Grand Memories of a Great Champion." For information on the exhibit and purchasing the DVD, contact Jim Vankoski at 610-909-4919 or email@example.com. For the clips and cards series and general information, visit www.sportslegendsofdelawarecounty.com
