NAIA Football Players of the Week - No. 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The first edition of the 2012 NAIA National Football Players of the Week were announced Monday by the national office: Jordan Delbaugh of Nebraska Wesleyan was named NAIA Special Teams Player of the Week, Howard McDonald of Eastern Oregon was named NAIA Defensive Player of the Week and Davis Bloemendaal of Northwestern (Iowa) received NAIA Offensive Player of the Week honors for the week of Aug. 27 - Sept. 2. These winners were chosen out of a pool of player of the week performers among the nine conferences and independents.
Delbaugh, a 5-4, 180 lb., senior running back from Englewood, Colo., blocked two kicks in Nebraska Wesleyan's 25-20 victory against Saint Mary (Kan.) on Sept. 1. His first block came on a Spire field goal attempt late in the first half to keep the Prairie Wolves within a touchdown (14-7) at the half. Delbaugh's second came in the fourth quarter on a Saint Mary PAT. In addition to blocking the attempt, Delbaugh scooped up and returned the ball for a defensive PAT. Delbaugh owns eight career blocked kicks.
McDonald, a 5-9, 217 lb., senior linebacker from Silverdale, Wash., had a career day in No. 16 Eastern Oregon's 26-23 road victory against Frontier Conference rival Montana Tech on Sept. 1. McDonald tallied a career-best 21 tackles (20 unassisted) two sacks and three tackles for loss. His 21 tackles are the second most single-game stops by a Mountaineer defender, trailing only Nick Hannah's 26 against Montana Tech in 2004. McDonald owns 14 career double-digit tackle performances and currently ranks amongst the top five nationally in tackles, sacks and tackles for loss.
Bloemendaal, a 6-1, 200 lb., junior quarterback from Orange City, Iowa, threw for a career-high 336 yards and four touchdowns to lead No. 10 Northwestern to a 49-0 victory over Southwestern (Kan.) on Aug. 30. Bloemendaal completed 20-of-32 passes (.625), including touchdowns of 53, 21, 11 and 34 yards. He added 32 rushing yards as the Red Raiders set a school record with 649 yards of total offense. With his performance, Bloemendaal ranks fourth nationally in passing yards per game (336) and 10th in total offense (368). He also improved to 9-0 as a starter.

Alarmed by reports of a rapid fall in tiger numbers, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has ordered a police investigation and created a new taskforce to save the endangered species.
NEW DELHI Alarmed by reports of a rapid fall in tiger numbers, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has ordered a police investigation and created a new taskforce to save the endangered species.
Environment and Forests Department spokesman Amit Singhal said a clearer picture of the decline in the tiger population across India would come in April when an expert panel finishes its own investigation.
"Only then can we say conclusively whether the number of tigers has gone up or down," he said on Friday. "The problem is there in some reserves, but in certain reserves sightings have really gone up."
Indian media and wildlife activists have reported a dramatic drop in the number of tigers and an increase in poaching.
On Thursday, Singh chaired a meeting of the national wildlife board -- it's first in 17 months -- and ordered a new taskforce of forest officials, wildlife experts and community leaders to report on the status of Project Tiger and the tiger population.
He also banned giving tigers to foreign dignitaries and established a powerful wildlife crime prevention bureau.
Officials say tigers may have been wiped out entirely in the Sariska sanctuary in the desert state of Rajasthan -- where the Project Tiger conservation programme began in 1973 and where there were as many as 16-18 big cats a year ago.
Wake-Up Call
Activists fear the story may be the same in sanctuaries across India, which has almost half the world's surviving tigers.
"It's probably the biggest conservation scandal in modern times," Belinda Wright, executive director of the Wildlife Protection Society of India, said.
"There are some parks with none or so few tigers it's not a viable population. Sariska has been an incredible wakeup call."
Detectives from the Central Bureau of Investigation are due in Sariska on Friday as part of the police probe.
Trade in dead tigers is illegal, but a single one can fetch up to $50,000 on the international market. Organs and body parts are popular in Chinese medicine. Bones are worth about $400 a kilogram, a penis almost $850, a tooth $120 and a claw just $10.
A century ago, there were an estimated 40,000 tigers in India. Now, some wildlife experts say there are barely 2,000 and the official government census about 3,700.
Exact figures are almost impossible because of the shy nature of the big cats. The government keeps no detailed records on poaching, most of which goes unreported anyway.
In Sariska, about 900 vehicles enter the reserve on some days, about 25 times the recommended 35-40 vehicles a day, driving any remaining animals deeper into the forest.
For decades, hunting tigers was a popular sport with British colonial rulers and Indian maharajas. In some areas, tigers were once so common they posed a serious threat to villagers and explorers and people rarely ventured out in the evening unarmed.

Apple has delayed the release of iTunes 11 until some time November.
The company announced that the new version of its media player software would be arriving in a month later than originally planned due to its development taking longer than expected.
An Apple spokesman told CNET, "We wanted to take a little more time to get it right. We look forward to releasing this new version of iTunes with its dramatically simpler and cleaner interface, and seamless integration with iCloud before the end of November." It was originally scheduled for an October release, and many predicted it would be launched alongside the iPad mini last week.
More than previous editions, iTunes 11 takes visual cues from iOS, and all purchases made through it will automatically be stored remotely through iCloud, allowing users to instantly access them via their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. The new interface shows the same clean new "shelving" system across all devices, so browsing the store looks much the same whether you're doing it on Mac, PC, iPad or iPhone.
There's also a revamped iTunes MiniPlayer, which will allow users to skip tracks and search for content without having to access the full window version.
Miffed about having to wait a bit longer for iTunes 11? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below, or through the Trusted Reviews Twitter and Facebook feeds.

M Water Polo
|Associate Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|UC San Diego
|Graduating Year:
|10 Years
Matt Ustaszewski is in his seventh season as associate head coach and 10th season overall on the University of California San Diego men's water polo staff in 2019. After four years as an assistant at his alma mater, Ustaszewski was promoted to associate head coach in late January of 2013.
Ustaszewski returned to UC San Diego in 2010 after a very successful stint at Southwestern College in Chula Vista. He served as the Jaguars' men's water polo head coach for four years (2006-09), while also instructing health and exercise science courses. Ustaszewski was named the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2007 and 2009. Prior to taking over the water polo program, Ustaszewski spent time as the men's and women's swimming and diving head coach at Southwestern, while also assisting with both the men's and women's water polo teams.
Ustaszewski is no stranger to the La Jolla campus. He was a co-captain of the fifth-ranked Triton water polo team as a senior in 2003 for current head coach Denny Harper. He graduated in 2004, completing his bachelor's degree in history (Europe emphasis) with a 3.5 grade-point average. Ustaszewski earned his teaching credential in social studies from San Diego State University in 2007, and his master's degree in physical education at Azusa Pacific University in 2011. Before attending UC San Diego, Ustaszewski was an All-American at Sierra College and Rocklin High School, both located in his native Rocklin. He still holds career records in goals scored at each school.
In addition to serving as associate head coach at UC San Diego, Ustaszewski is the head coach for the Sunset San Diego water polo club team. He coached the Sunset 40's to four straight USA Water Polo (USAWP) Masters Nationals Championships (2011-14). He is also the USAWP Olympic Development Program (ODP) head coach for the Pacific Southwest Zone Youth Men's Team, and was honored as the USAWP ODP Top Coach in 2014. In addition, Ustaszewski served as video coordinator for the Team USA coaching staff at the 2019 FINA World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea, as well as the 2019 China Wenjiang International Water Polo Tournament in Chengdu, China.
During his 10 years on staff, Ustaszewski has helped lead the Tritons to five WWPA championships and automatic berths to the NCAA Championship. He has recruited and coached 22 All-Americans, including two WWPA Players of the Year and five WWPA Tournament Most Valuable Players. Between 2011-15, the Tritons appeared in five straight WWPA championship games, a run which includes consecutive titles from 2013-15.
Ustaszewski resides in Scripps Ranch with his wife, Heather (Szafraniec) Ustaszewski, herself a former UC San Diego standout student-athlete in her own right as a four-year starting center back and two-year captain in the women's soccer program from 2002-05. The couple welcomed their first child, son Jordan, in October of 2016.

Water quality in the Chesapeake Bay has been a major concern in the region for decades. Farmers in the bay region, which includes Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Maryland, New York, Virginia and West Virginia, manage nearly a third of the land in the watershed. As a result, farmers must play an important role in maintaining and improving the region's water quality.
A key challenge in meeting Chesapeake Bay water quality goals is how to achieve the right balance between helping farmers voluntarily adopt management practices that reduce nutrient runoff and insisting farmers do so through regulations. Perspectives on how far to lean in either direction vary widely among different stakeholders.
One group that is striking this balance in Pennsylvania is the Lancaster County Conservation District (LCCD). The LCCD's approach seeks to balance its role as the farmer's trusted advisor and neighbor with its mission to conserve natural resources. The LCCD board voted to force landowners to comply with state conservation regulations at the local level, a move that only 13 other counties in Pennsylvania have taken. The decision was based on the rationale that conservation is achieved most effectively when a more local entity acts as a buffer between state or federal regulatory agencies and the farmers. LCCD has set 2015 as its target date to have conservation plans written for 100 percent of the county's farms, with a clear and consistent system to verify implementation that includes penalties when necessary.
To balance voluntary on-farm management with regulation, LCCD works to include farmers in the compliance process. Robert Shearer operates a 700 hog and grain farm on 250 acres in Lancaster County and also serves on LCCD's Ag Compliance Committee. On his own farm, he has been implementing conservation practices for years. He recognizes that his efforts help him meet production goals while complying with Department of Environmental Protection regulations. When the compliance committee occasionally needs to fine a producer who has not responded to multiple requests to fix a runoff problem, Shearer feels confident the committee believes that everyone must do their part to "keep the soil where it belongs."
|Key Recommendations for Bay Restoration from the Conference Participants:
This week, I had the opportunity to meet and learn from Mr. Shearer on a field trip that was part of the Chesapeake Bay Agricultural Network Forum. This annual conference sponsored by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Chesapeake Bay Funders Network brings together more than 30 grantees to share lessons learned from their work addressing water quality issues in the bay. The meeting of agricultural and conservation leaders demonstrated the passion and energy that people are bringing to bay restoration, from finding innovative ways to help farmers comply with conservation regulations to whole community approaches that stretch from farm-to-table.. The diversity of partnerships among grantees—representing ag groups, environmentalists, researchers, public employees and non-profits—is remarkable.
And those efforts are beginning to show positive results. The Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) Cropland Report released in March collected conservation data from farms in the region, made recommendations on the 4.3 million acres of bay cropland, and found conservation practices implemented on about 96 percent of that land. More recently, a study from Johns Hopkins found a decline in dead-zones—the oxygen-starved regions resulting from waters rich in nitrogen and phosphorus where plants and water animals cannot live—indicating that conservation efforts by farmers and others are beginning to pay off.
However, our work is far from complete. Achieving clean water will require well-funded, robust federal and state conservation programs and additional guidance for farmers to help them get those practices in place. It is important to give farmers credit for what they have accomplished, and the gathering of leaders and experts on water quality in the bay presents continued hope for future work. But we all need to ensure that we invest enough attention and resources to finish the job.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Fed up of playing in front of sparse crowds in Singapore's poorly attended S.League, players from Balestier Khalsa are going door-to-door to try to drum up their fan base.
"The more often the players go knocking on doors, the higher the chances of them becoming familiar with residents," Balestier chairman S Thavaneson told Monday's Today newspaper.
"Who knows, they may become curious and decide to watch a game or two."
While Singaporeans are huge football fans, they are far more interested in watching English Premier League giants Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal on television rather than going to see local teams like Balestier, Woodlands Wellington and Tanjong Pagar United.
Average attendances in the 12-team S.League fell to 932 last year and organisers are heavily promoting a 'Support our S.League' campaign to address the concerns.
Thavaneson was hopeful the door-to-door campaign could help Balestier sell out their small stadium in central Singapore throughout the 2013 season, which began on Wednesday.
"There are 100,000 residents in Toa Payoh, if we can bring in just 3 percent of them to our stadium, we will have a full house each time," Thavaneson said.

Many of the Chi Omega Lambda inductees will be presenting their research in the 14th Annual Undergraduate Poster Competition at the 2010 ASBMB annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif. Be sure to visit their posters and congratulate them on their outstanding achievements. Special recognition will be given to these students at the meeting.
With impeccable academic records and outstanding research, the 2010 class of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology honor society, Chi Omega Lambda, is a cohort of promising young scientists with big dreams and big hearts. Even in the midst of their rigorous academic schedules and busy lives, all of these students have found time to serve their local communities. Whether it's doing science outreach in schools, tutoring immigrant families in English or volunteering at summer camp, these students represent a smart generation of socially conscious young people who demonstrate that being great scientists also means being good citizens.
Here, in their own words, are awe-inspiring stories from four inductees who were unanimously elected into Chi Omega Lambda by the ASBMB Undergraduate Affiliate Network Committee.
University of Arizona
I am a junior majoring in biochemistry at the University of Arizona. I came to Tucson from Austin. I chose to major in biochemistry, because I am fascinated by the chemical processes that occur in living cells. After completing my undergraduate degree, I plan to continue my research and studies in graduate school and earn a doctorate in cell biology. Ultimately, I aspire to conduct research at a university or research institute.
I first began doing research during my summers in high school and have continued my involvement in research at the University of Arizona. Currently, my research in Tsu-Shen Tsao's laboratory focuses on developing a method to measure the redox state of the endoplasmic reticulum in living cells. This past summer, I studied salt stress on cells under the mentorship of Natalia Dmitrieva and Maurice B. Burg at the National Institutes of Health. I will present the results of my work at the undergraduate poster session at the ASBMB 2010 annual meeting.
In addition to my classes and research, I lead science outreach and education activities in the local community. My goal is to excite kids about science and to give taxpayers (who ultimately support my research) an appreciation of science. I am also involved with the University of Arizona ASBMB UAN chapter, through which I helped to organize an undergraduate research conference for the Southwest region. Outside of science, I love running, cycling and puzzles.
University of Richmond
I grew up in Bulgaria and came to the United States when I started college at the University of Richmond. This May, I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and molecular biology.
Throughout my undergraduate career, I have been working with glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and using it as model to study allostery and protein stability. My first research project focused on the evolution of GDH, working to answer the questions of how and why GDH went from exhibiting no allosteric regulation in prokaryotes to exhibiting complex allosteric regulation in mammals. In my subsequent research project, I studied the effects of various nucleotides on the stability of the enzyme. The highlight of my research experience has been presenting my work at the 2008 and 2009 ASBMB annual meetings. The experience taught me how to effectively communicate my results to others, helped to build my confidence in public speaking and gave me valuable feedback about my work.
Outside the classroom and lab, my experiences with teaching and my participation in the organization Women in Math and Science have given me a glimpse of what it is like to be a part the science community. The Women in Math and Science organization on campus provides career guidance to young women. Members regularly meet with distinguished female scientists who talk about the specific challenges that women face in these fields and share their coping strategies. I have worked as a teaching volunteer in a physics summer camp for three-year-olds, as an English-as-a-second-language teacher and as a chemistry teaching assistant. The responsibilities involved in teaching stimulated me to quickly learn how to explain even the most complicated chemistry concepts. But the most important thing I communicated as a teacher, I believe, is a passion for the material. Teaching really has helped me grow as a scientist.
While spending a semester at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, I took a course in molecular genetics and was fascinated by the way the field incorporates classical genetics, biochemistry and cell biology in the discovery of gene-related processes. I remember reading about eukaryotic chromatin packaging structures one night and thinking they are the most awe-inspiring thing I've ever encountered. I want to explore this microcosm of the gene, and I plan to do molecular genetics research while pursuing a doctorate in molecular biology.
In my free time, I like to read nonfiction and enjoy running. Running not only gives me a break from intellectual activities but also trains the same "mental muscles" one needs to do good research— endurance, perseverance and the ability to focus on a goal. I am excited to be attending the ASBMB annual meeting again this year and presenting a poster with my most recent research.
Much of my childhood was a nomadic experience. Born and raised in Bosnia and Herzegovina until the age of 6, my family and I emigrated to Germany to escape the tensions of war. Four years later, having explored much of Europe, we decided to move to Arizona, a place I could finally call home.
Achieving a higher education has been my dream since an early age, so attending the University of Arizona was a natural thing to do. Choosing a major was more difficult. I eventually decided on biochemistry and molecular biophysics. At the University of Arizona, my research focuses on muscular dystrophy, a disease that gradually deteriorates skeletal muscle cells, leading to the eventual death of the cells and the surrounding tissue. Specifically, I study the calpain family of proteins, which are calcium-dependent proteases, and, together with the calcium-dependent specific calpain inhibitor, calpastatin, are widely distributed in eukaryotic cells. I have immersed myself in my research by attending scientific conferences, joining professional organizations and participating in clinical research studies. I will be presenting the results of my research at the 2010 American Chemical Society conference.
On campus, I am heavily involved in several student organizations and activities, such as the Peer Mentorship Program, the Student Members of the American Chemical Society-Undergraduate Affiliate Network Biochemistry organization, and, most notably, the first annual Biological, Engineering and Chemical Undergraduate Research Conference for the Southwest region. The latter stands out, because I and several other undergraduates built this conference from the ground up— designing the Web site, recruiting students, raising thousands of dollars and performing myriad other tasks. This was a chance to leave a lasting tradition at the University of Arizona, and it would not have been possible without the support of the Undergraduate Affiliate Network and ASBMB.
Outside of school, I have been volunteering as a hospice companion since 2007, and, in the summer of 2008, I provided aid at a small, rural hospital in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I also have worked with refugee resettlement agencies locally to assist incoming families through English tutoring, finding suitable housing and employment and providing them with general support. The culmination of these experiences over the past four years has led me to realize that, for me, an ideal career must be a combination of medicine, research and community involvement. Having spent the past four years at the University of Arizona, I could not have asked for a better experience.
State University of New York at Potsdam
I grew up in Suzhou, China, a city known for its classical Chinese gardens, fine silk and green tea. I am currently a senior at the State University of New York at Potsdam, majoring in biochemistry with minors in mathematics and psychology.
My favorite class in college is linear algebra. The class gave me insight into the beauty and ubiquitous applicability of the eigenvalue model, particularly in spectral graph theory— for example, its application in Google's PageRank algorithm.
The human brain holds a special fascination for me. I think it is the most complex, elegant and powerful system in the known universe, and I believe that mathematics is one of the most elegant and powerful tools one can use to better understand the brain. My love for both mathematics and the human brain has motivated me to pursue a doctorate in theoretical neuroscience and to eventually become a theoretical neuroscientist and teacher.

My current research projects investigate the interaction between proteins and metal ions. One project attempts to clone a potential zinc-binding loop of a zinc-transport protein from a cDNA library. The other is the characterization of the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of iron binding, oxidation and storage of various ferritins, iron transport proteins and iron chelators. I will be presenting the results of my research at this year's ASBMB annual meeting.
When out of the lab, I like to play the recorder, draw and read biographies of scientists as well as Chinese classical literature. I also enjoy track and field. I am particularly interested in the famous physicist Richard Feynman and his books, lectures and jokes. One of my favorite jokes has to do with Ernest Rutherford, who once said, "In science, there is only physics; all the rest is stamp collecting." Ironically, he won the Nobel Prize in chemistry.Chi Omega Lambda was established to recognize exceptional undergraduate juniors and seniors pursuing a degree in the molecular life sciences at a college or university that is a member of the Undergraduate Affiliate Network.

When I had my chiropractic clinic we always had a good massage therapist on staff to compliment my services. Chiropractic care was the bread and butter of our practice and all our advertising was focused on getting more patients that needed the Graston technique or Active release therapy. When we did try to advertise for our massage therapist, we found we were sometimes in competition with the more exotic massage studios that offer more adult services, so we decided to stay away from that.
Anyway, a massage therapist is great for people that don't have strained ligaments or alignment issues. If you just have muscle pain or muscle spasms, a therapeutic massage can do wonders for you.
I was recently on vacation in New Brunswick and started getting a sore back. Maybe it was because of the long hours of driving, and my lack of exercise while on vacation. So while driving through the quaint little town of Memramcook, which is near Dieppe, I spotted a massage therapist right beside the highway. I went inside and luckily they had an opening and were able to take me right away. Bob the owner, did a fantastic job on my back and I felt like a million bucks after that.
So if you need a good Dieppe massage therapist give Bob a call at (506) 758-3978

Answer that December call with the Parade of Lights and the Volvo Ocean Race
Like you, we're playing carols, stringing lights and decorating the Christmas tree. (Practicing what the Bay Gardener preaches, we sawed a fire-safe Canaan fir at his Upakrik Farm, plunged it into a bucket of 100-degree water and stored it in the shade before it came inside.)
The holidays are a time we savor. They bring us into the universe, husband Bill Lambrecht suggested the other day, as we counted the homes signaling their welcome to the season in codes of colored lights. This time of year, we seem to recognize that we're all in this together, and we reach out to one another in words and deeds with season's greetings, holiday cards, good works and parties.
But even as we're trimming the tree and preparing the parties, the water keeps tugging us.
The Bay is beautiful this time of year, still and clear and limitless, whether you're looking at the Eastern Shore or way beyond — to the Caribbean, the Great Loop or even ocean crossings.
Yet you could have the Bay to yourself most any day.
As the watermen do. Crabbers are pulling their pots for the winter, but so long as there are wild oysters to harvest, the oystermen will be out scraping them off the bottom, for this is the season they make their money.
Joining them, a few sailors still rush out for any bit of wind, even in December, and Frostbite sailing resumes in February at the Annapolis Yacht Club.
But most of us are fair-weather boaters, driven off the Bay by the cold and into dreamland.
This morning's conversation at the marina gym, where boats are going on the hard, slid naturally from tree trimming to sailing. "We're going to go sailing in Italy this year," a sister boater said. She'd also reported three days on the water, at Oxford, over this year's balmy Thanksgiving. "There was no wind," she said, "but who cares?" There was water.
I may have started that conversation, talking about how I'd been dreaming — till I heard the airfares — of doing a Christmas sailing school in Florida or the islands.
(If you've got the money and the time, Womanship has boats and instructors waiting in the Florida Keys and the British Virgin Islands.)
My sister boater and I aren't the only ones pulled in two directions. Even as Eastport Yacht Club is counting down to its Christmas Parade of Lights, illuminating Spa Creek this Saturday, December 10, the club is looking ahead to its annual Bermuda Ocean Race, setting off from Annapolis on June 8.
Now's the time to start planning if you're up for that 753-nautical-mile race "via the busy coastal waters of the Chesapeake Bay, crossing the sometimes devious Gulf Stream and avoiding the treacherous reefs encircling Bermuda," according to chairwoman Mary Ann DeGraw, who's already alerted us to a race seminar coming up on February 11.
Headline speaker that day is Kurt Lowman, a veteran ocean racer who was team photographer for Chessie Racing, one of the nine 1997-'98 Whitbread Round-the-World racers.
Whitbread, you'll remember, is now the Volvo Ocean Race. Annapolis lost its place on the race's round-the-world circuit, but the race remains the ultimate test of extreme sailing.
And this year's race is underway.
There are no better thrills and spills in sport, Steve Carr writes in his report on Leg One of the 40,000-mile race. Leg Two, from Cape Town, South Africa, to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, begins this Saturday.
That's December 10, a contender as the fullest day of the fullest month of the year. No doubt your calendar is already packed with Christmas cheer — including the Eastport Yacht Club Parade of Lights.
But half-way around the world, where the summer solstice is approaching, the toughest sailors are setting out to try their skills, strength and endurance against the worst the wild ocean has to offer. If you're a water lover, we gladly give you permission to keep one eye on the race, which you can follow at www.volvooceanrace.com. and in Carr's columns in Bay Weekly.

Gastronomy at Sea
Sometimes cruising is less about the destination and more about the journey itself. Cruise ships have evolved into giant floating resort complexes, getting bigger and better as years go by. Celebrity Cruises' Solstice Class is a prime example with thirteen decks of luxurious staterooms and facilities, including a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center with breathtaking views, indoor and outdoor pools, a theater, a glass-blowing workshop, a shopping galleria, the first Lawn Club at sea and a running track. But the star of the Solstice Class is the dining and beverage program.

In several columns in this space over the past few years, I've briefly pointed out the value of public relations as one valuable tool that can contribute to your business success. But public relations is so cost effective and brings so much credibility to you and your business, it's worthy of its own, more in-depth column. Here are some ways you can leverage this valuable tool.
Understand what PR is: It's not advertising. You can't control if or when you'll be quoted or if the journalist has any interest, even though your significant other thinks your concept is ground breaking. A journalist's interest will be tied to a topic or a story, not to how great your travel agency is. So you need to have a realistic expectation of what PR will produce, because over time—and it does take time—it can be highly beneficial to you.
Know who you are dealing with: The New York Times aside, you will almost always find that the travel editor of a newspaper or magazine is also the editor for automobiles or something completely unrelated. That person likely has little to no formal "travel background," though he or she likely has had some travel experience, even if it's almost entirely their own vacations. Don't just reach out to them or keep sending them press releases that have no relevance. Do your homework and be a regular reader or viewer. Know what they tend to report on and get to know their apparent interests and hot buttons. When you do contact them, tell them how you might be able to further extend what appears to be an interesting topic to them.
Invest in building relationships: Just as you are continuously in communication with your customers—you are doing that, right?—you need to be regularly in touch with your media contacts. You don't need to have a story concept to touch base. Just touch base. Use alternating methods (email, in person, phone calls, etc.) unless the person has advised you they much prefer a single means of communications. At least occasionally, ask if you can stop by their office or 10 minutes or offer to meet at Starbucks. And when your 10 minutes is up, leave. If they want you to stay to chat more, they'll tell you. If they're busy and need to get to work, they'll appreciate and respect the fact that you did what you said you would. And as with all interactions, be authentic.
Make sure it's a collaborative process: In years past, "pitching" was the commonly used verb when approaching a reporter or editor with a story line. To me, the word has the connotation of trying to hard sell something to someone who may not have an interest or the need. Today's savvy writers and reporters will appreciate your approaching them as someone who will work with them to extend or further develop a topic. Treat what you're doing as a collaborative exercise that will benefit the reporter, not just you.
Get to the point quickly: Time is the ultimate commodity. When you speak to a reporter or editor, deliver a short, powerful, well-thought-out overview of your concept. Reporters tend to be intrigued (or not) very quickly and most will offer no pretenses of interest if you don't hook them almost immediately. You'll hear it in their voices or see it on their faces. Ask me how I know.
Be responsive to journalist's needs: When you're the one receiving the call or email, the writer or reporter is frequently under a very tight deadline. If you're going to set yourself up as the expert, you'll have to be responsive and that may mean dropping everything for three hours to get them what they need. It's just the price of becoming a great contact for the media. This is arguably the single most important "rule."
Deliver consistent and reliable information: Just like selling to the customer, you're not going to "score" on every try, but it's important to consistently be out there with relevant and interesting topics. Give the reporter an exclusive or do something that will make it more intriguing to him or her. But remember that sometimes the topic is just not that interesting to that reporter or their focus is elsewhere. Accept the "no thanks" graciously and thank them for considering your idea. Again, it takes time and effort to build relationships with the media, so don't get discouraged. Effectively leveraging of public relations and media relationships takes time, energy, homework, relationship building, responsiveness and creativity, but the benefits can be huge. Go for it and make it work for you!

An Industrial Butterfly-Themed Wedding at Strongwater Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio
Anna Opitz (28 and an assistant account executive) and Brian Bjelovuk (30 and an industrial designer) used whimsical monarch butterfly details and nods to Anna's Mexican heritage to pull off an ultra-personal, urban wedding. "Mexico is very important to me because my father spent most of his life there," Anna says. "Brian and I always love visiting, so the country was a natural place to look for inspiration." The couple brought the outdoors in for their DIY nuptials with the help of miniature potted plants and hundreds of handcrafted butterflies. Anna and her bridesmaids coordinated in floral hair combs purchased during a trip to Mexico's San Miguel de Allende. Strawberry margaritas were a hit menu item among guests, who were also treated to cake from New York City's famed Momofuku Milk Bar in flavors that ranged from chocolate malt and apple pie to a sweet dulce de leche. During the ceremony, Anna and Brian stood before a five-foot-tall ceremony backdrop that depicted an image of an Aztec galactic butterfly. The insect made yet another appearance during the reception, where vibrant garlands of paper Monarch butterflies were suspended from the ceiling.

A transplant rejection is the body's destruction of a newly
introduced organ or tissue. A person's immune system does not recognize the
cells of the transplanted material, which triggers it into action to kill the
transplanted tissues.
The immune system's response eventually makes the organ or tissue
unable to function.
Medicines are given to suppress the immune system. But
taking them can make it easy for a person to get sick. Having a suppressed
immune system makes it hard for a person to fight off all types of
infections. But transplants are usually successful.

Dear Annie: My mother has always had a rocky relationship with her sister, "Josie," for many reasons. The final straw came after Josie stole money from my mother seven years ago. They haven't spoken to each other since.
Dear Annie: My mother has always had a rocky relationship with her sister, "Josie," for many reasons. The final straw came after Josie stole money from my mother seven years ago. They haven't spoken to each other since.
I understand that my aunt hurt my mother badly and what she did was unforgivable. I know Josie doesn't deserve another chance, but I wish my mother would give her one anyway. Josie has changed her ways over the past seven years and now lives a very stable life. I don't think she's the same person.
No one in my family (including me) will ever trust Josie because of the things she's done. But I wish my mother would call her sister and say that she loves and forgives her. My siblings and I have talked to Mom about this, but she always brushes us off. I know this is between the two of them, but they aren't getting any younger, and they don't have an eternity to reconcile. I don't want my mother or Josie to have any regrets. Is there anything we can do?
— Worried Daughter and Niece
Dear Daughter: You are kind, forgiving and understanding to want your mother to reconcile with her sister before it's too late. Unfortunately, until your mother reaches the same conclusion, there is little you can do. You say Josie has changed, but at the same time, you will never trust her. It's difficult to forgive someone who has repeatedly broken your trust and hurt you, and not all reconciliations are beneficial if the behavior continues.
But you can ask your mother what Josie would need to do to get back in her good graces and then see whether Josie is up to the task. Beyond that, please let your mother decide how much pain she is willing to risk to have her sister back in her life.
Dear Annie: I read your columns about babies crying in church. I have a different issue. What about parents who completely ignore what their children do in church?
Last Sunday, there were two children, a boy and a girl, about 7 or 8, who spent the entire service crawling under the pews, lifting up the kneeler, playing catch, kicking and shoving each other and completely destroying my ability to concentrate on the mass. The parents did absolutely nothing. The father fell asleep, and the mother never looked at her kids, not even when they bumped against her.
Right before communion, they started pinching each other and whimpering in pain. By then I couldn't take it anymore. I told them to knock it off. They stopped and put their heads on their parents' shoulders. The parents glanced at me with astonishment. Meanwhile, in the row behind me was a single mom with four kids who left twice with the baby for 10 minutes and left the rest of her little kids alone.
Parents seem to think that their children have the right to do anything they want whenever they want. Then they wonder why the kids get into trouble.
— Fed-Up Grandma in Chicago
Dear Grandma: Parents often don't realize that discipline makes children feel secure and loved. When kids are allowed to run wild, they don't know what the boundaries are, and they keep pushing until they do. But we also understand that parents of young children can be exhausted. We admire those who are kind enough to engage the children in some quiet activity and give the parents a break.
Dear Annie: I never had a weight problem until I was older. When I read about "Concerned Old Man in West Hills" calling his niece "fat," it reminded me of a T-shirt I once saw. It said, "I may be fat, but you are ugly, and I can diet."
— Toledo, Ohio

Forum Post: Occupy is not a person or group, Occupy is a spirit
Posted 6 years ago on July 8, 2013, 12:44 p.m. EST by windyacres
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
A spirit I'm proud to be a part of because it's for truth, equality, justice, freedom and love.
Occupy is a revolutionary spirit that openly rejects tyranny by powers that disrupt truth, equality, justice, freedom, and love. If tyranny doesn't exist, Occupy is present to make sure that it doesn't in the future. A worthy goal. If tyranny does exist, Occupy is part of the resistance. Resistance strong enough to restore.
There is a credible claim, with many words written by truth-out, Karen Hudes, and many others that the ultimate organized crime group has accomplished state capture. The Banks, Markets, the Government, and the Media are controlled by them. Hopefully, they don't control the US Military or all is lost.
This credible claim, is it true? If so, are we powerless against it? Thrashy posted to me that if we can't investigate it, we may as well move on. Why would we? We can complain about Monsanto, or tar sands, or militarization of the police, or wealth inequality, or any other issue but there would never be changes unless this group is subject to Rule of Law for all.
We must investigate this claim without distractions. If the MSM is forced to cover the story, I predict they will tease the masses with the idea, then discredit and disprove the story and never report it again. The internet must eventually supply the information to the masses with the truth. The spirit of Occupy is part of this revolution.

HFC Emission Reduction Measures for Mobile Air Conditioning
This page last reviewed March 02, 2011
As part of the California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32) the ARB approved four early action measures to reduce hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) emissions associated with mobile air conditioning (MAC). An additional measure concerns the recovery of refrigerant from decommissioned refrigerated shipping containers. The predominant refrigerant currently in use is HFC-134a, a hydrofluorocarbon and a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG). It can slowly leak out of the MAC system in a manner that may occur with any closed high-pressure system such as permeation through hoses, and leakage due to compromised connections and deterioration of parts, seals, and fittings. Larger leaks may occur during accidents, maintenance and servicing, and vehicle disposal at the end of useful life. The use of a low GWP refrigerant in MAC would greatly reduce the GHG impact associated with direct emissions. Emission reductions can also be gained through efficiency measures applied to MAC systems. It is projected that under business as usual, global emissions of HFC-134a will continue to rise as the global vehicle population grows and the number of MAC systems increases in developing countries. California measures to mitigate these emissions have diverse approaches which complement each other, and can be adopted nationally, as well as globally.
Measures to Control HFC Emissions from MAC
- Regulation to control emissions from small containers of automotive refrigerant became effective January 1, 2010.
- Requirement for low GWP refrigerant in new MAC will be incorporated into LEV III.
- Requirement to add an AC leak tightness test and repair to Smog Check program is on hold.
- Enforcement of existing federal requirements to recover refrigerant from MAC at end of life is on hold.
- Measure to reduce GHG emissions from refrigerated shipping containers is on hold.
Other Regulatory Activities regarding GHG Emissions from MAC
- Clean Car Standards - Pavley Regulation, Assembly Bill 1493 Regulation (Certification of Improved MAC)
- Environmental Performance Label Regulation (Certification of Improved MAC)

Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn described Jo Cox as an "ambassador of kindness and compassion" following news that Thomas Mair has been found guilty of her murder.
He said: "Jo Cox believed passionately that all people can achieve their full potential given the opportunity. Her murder was an attack on democracy, and has robbed the world of an ambassador of kindness and compassion.
"Jo's values were lived out in her last moments, when she bravely put the safety of her staff before her own.
"Jo is someone the Labour Party will forever be extremely proud of.
"The single biggest tribute we can pay to Jo and her life will be to confront those who wish to promote the hatred and division that led to her murder.

Jeremy Corbyn says MP murder was "attack on democracy"
"Jo was a loving mother and wife. I hope that the verdict has delivered some sense of justice to those grieving, particularly Jo's family, who all of our thoughts are with at this time."
The two colleagues who were with Mrs Cox during the deadly attack have also issued a statement.
Fazila Aswat, the MP's office manager, and senior caseworker Sandra Major said: "On Thursday, June 16, our friend and boss, Jo Cox, was brutally murdered.
"So many lives were changed forever, including ours. However, our thoughts will always remain with Jo's very young children, husband and family – especially her parents who have lost a child in the most horrific circumstances.
"We takes some comfort from being with Jo on the day, as she was not alone, we were with her and both loved her and feel honoured to have been with her in her last moments; despite being one of the worst days of our lives.
"We would like to thank everyone who has provided us with support and warm wishes during this dark period."
The MP's family has also been in the thoughts of others who knew 41-year-old Mrs Cox.
Paula Sherriff was elected in 2015 alongside Mrs Cox and represents the neighbouring Dewsbury and Mirfield constituency.
She tweeted: "Thinking of Jo Cox's brave, dignified and courageous family today x
Others outside the political world have also begun to share their thoughts.
The vicar of Birstall, the Rev Paul Knight, said: "We're relieved that it's gone this far and that it's wrapping up, really.
"We want to concentrate on the good things that can come out of this.
"Jo was so positive and changed so many lives. We want to make sure that's the thing that's remembered, not the guy that did it."
Speaking outside Birstall Library, Mr Knight said: "We're getting back to a normality but we'll never forget Jo. That's what we promised."
He said: "Everybody always says that kind of thing doesn't happen round here but it did.
"And we had deal with it and there was an incredible outpouring of grief."
The Rt Rev Jonathan Gibbs, Bishop of Huddersfield, had this to say on behalf of the Church of England Diocese of Leeds.
"The murder of Jo Cox MP was a very dark day in the life of our nation," he said.
"The trial of Thomas Mair and today's verdict have demonstrated the vital importance of justice and the rule of law which are at the heart of our nation.
"We pay tribute to Jo's wonderful example of service and to the bravery which she demonstrated right to the end of her life.
"We also pay tribute to the dignity and courage of her family and we will stand with them and continue to hold them in our prayers in the months and years ahead.
"Jo stood for the very best qualities which we look for in all our politicians.
"She believed firmly that 'what unites us is greater than what divides us' – a principle she lived by throughout her career.
"We stand with those of all faiths and none across West Yorkshire in affirming what Jo stood for and we will honour her memory by working together for a more peaceful, tolerant and united world."
The Rt Rev Nick Baines, Bishop of Leeds, said: "Today justice has been done, but the grievous loss of an MP, wife and mother is not thereby resolved.
"As the community in Batley and Spen continues to look for healing, so do we continue to pray for Jo's family in particular as they adjust to a world without her.
"What has been revealed during this trial indicates that a peaceful society needs to be vigilant in relation to those within it who seek to use violence to divide."

Blackburn Rovers have sacked manager Michael Appleton after just over two months in charge, the Indian-owned English second-tier club announced on Tuesday.
Appleton becomes the third manager to leave Blackburn this season.
"Blackburn Rovers FC can confirm that Michael Appleton has been relieved of his duties as manager along with assistant manager Ashley Westwood, first team coach Darren Moore and head of senior recruitment Luke Dowling," read a statement on the club Web site.
Blackburn lost to Millwall in the FA Cup quarter-finals last week and were left in 18th place in the 24-team Championship, four points above the relegation zone, after a 1-1 draw with local rivals Burnley on Sunday.
Appleton released a statement on Twitter through his representatives the Sports PR Company, which read: "I am disappointed to be leaving Blackburn Rovers. I would like to thank the players and wish them all the best for the rest of the season."
"I would also like to say thanks to the fans who have made me feel so welcome over the past few months," he said.
Appleton only joined Blackburn in January, having left Blackpool after just 65 days at the club.
He lasted only two days longer in the Rovers job, winning four, drawing five and losing six of his 15 matches at the helm.
Blackburn, owned by Indian poultry firm Venky's, now find themselves looking for a fourth full-time head coach this season.
Steve Kean said he was "forced to resign" in September because his position had become "untenable," while his successor, former Blackburn defender Henning Berg, lasted just 57 days before being sacked in December.
Venky's also fired Sam Allardyce as manager shortly after taking over the club in November 2010, when Blackburn were 13th in the Premier League.
The move to sack Appleton drew strong criticism from some of the club's supporters.
"This is just the latest in a long line of incomprehensible and ill-thought out decisions that go back to the very start of the Venky's ownership of Blackburn," said Wayne Wild, co-chairman of supporters group the Rovers Trust.
"It is obvious to any experienced fan or football professional that to keep changing managers — we are now looking for our sixth [including caretakers] this season — will only lead to yet more instability and uncertainty," Wild said.
"It is also a costly exercise to keep paying off staff," he said. "The owners have to face up to the fact they are entirely responsible for the situation we find ourselves in with a second successive relegation a distinct possibility."
