PHIL 186B: Inner Sense
Often the label "inner" is used to describe aspects of ourselves we believe are not immediately observable to another. Thoughts, feelings, sensations; these all happen on the "inside," whereas speech, mannerisms, and actions are "outward" expressions. But how useful is this way of thinking? And what does it assume about what is "inner" versus what is "outer"? How reliable are the various internal mechanisms that allow us to know ourselves? Do we have a special kind of direct access to our own inner lives? And what can we know about the inner lives of others? Readings from philosophy of mind and cognitive science.

PHIL 188: Personal Identity (PHIL 288)
Do you persist through time the way that a skyscraper persists through space, by having different parts at different locations? Or are you ¿wholly present¿ at every moment of your life, in something more like the way that an elevator is present in each place as it travels up to the top floor? What criteria determine whether you now are the very same person as some unique person located at some time in the past? Is the continuity of your memories or other mental states sufficient for your survival? Can you survive the loss or destruction of your body? Do you really exist for more than just the present moment? How do different answers to these questions bear on your moral, personal, and professional obligations? What kinds of considerations could possibly help us to answer these questions? This course explores these and related issues. Readings include a mix of introductory survey, historical, and contemporary material.

PHIL 189: Examples of Free Will (PHIL 289)
Examples drawn from three domains: choice, computation, and conflict of norms. Conceptually, a distinction is made between examples that are predictable and those that are not, but skepticism about making a sharp distinction between determinism and indeterminism is defended.

Supposedly "scientific" calculations from elitist, fancy-pants researchers at Lehigh University released today estimate it will take another 833,315 years to produce enough iron ore and steel at current production levels to build the apocalyptic space weapon proposed by President Gingrich. The research team furthermore projects total cost of the "Callista" Death Star to be more than $852 quadrillion (roughly 13,000 times the world's present GDP).
Republicans in Congress characterized the study's findings as unpatriotic, counter to the relentless optimism provisions of the Exceptional Planetary Existence of Americans Act of 2015, and furthermore dismissed its estimates as wild exaggerations based on "excessive facts and inordinate reason." Pentagon officials also weighed in on the controversy, insisting that continued development of the colossal 140km space weapon is absolutely vital to the national security interests of the United States and its ongoing war on unspecified intergalactic terrorism.

For the first time in its history, Fenway Park welcomed more than 2,000,000 fans to the park for Red Sox games in 1977. Most of the fans entered from the street previously called Jersey Street, whose section adjacent the ballpark was renamed Yawkey Way in 1977 to honor Tom Yawkey, the longtime Red Sox owner who passed away the year before. When Red Sox fan took their seats inside the park in 1977, they saw a team that had no shortage of offensive firepower but Boston's 97 wins weren't enough to clinch a playoff spot. During the season, minor league and college baseball games were also played at Fenway Park, including an all-star game between the Cape Cod Baseball League and Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League.
Record: 97-64, Tied for 2nd in American League East
Manager: Donald W. Zimmer
Attendance: 2,074,549
The Red Sox hit a league-leading 213 home runs in 1977 and seven of the nine Boston regulars hit 15 or more round-trippers. Leading the charge were Jim Rice, George Scott and Butch Hobson, who each reached the 30-homer plateau on the season.
On June 19, the Red Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Yankees at Fenway Park, belting a major-league record 16 homers in the series. The day before, New York manager Billy Martin and star player Reggie Jackson had to be separated in the visitors' dugout.
The Red Sox kicked off the season with a 10-2 exhibition victory over Northeastern at Fenway Park on April 11. The club stayed in the hunt all year long and never trailed the division leader by more than 4 ½ games. They ended the year by winning 10 of their last 13 games, but fell 2 ½ games short of the Yankees. However, for the first time in Fenway Park history, Red Sox home attendance passed the 2,000,000 mark.
With all the home runs that they hit, Red Sox players picked up RBIs in droves. Jim Rice led the club with 114, one of four Boston players who passed the century mark for runs batted in. Rice also collected 206 base hits, the first time a Red Sox batter had reached 200 since Johnny Pesky did so in 1947. A 100-plus RBI man himself, Carl Yastrzemski had a great season in the field and went the entire year without committing an error despite shuffling between the outfield and first base. His 16 outfield assists also led the league. A more obscure player by the name of Ted Cox put his name in the trivia books in 1977 by knocking a base hit in every one of his first six at-bats.
Reliever Bill "Soup" Campbell won 13 games and saved 31, eclipsing Dick Radatz's record 29 saves in 1964. Campbell led the team in wins on a staff that had six other pitchers win 10 games or more.
The year after Red Sox Owner Tom Yawkey passed away, the portion of Jersey Street bordering Fenway Park was officially renamed Yawkey Way in his honor. The street would later become part of the ballpark during games when it was opened as the Yawkey Way Concourse in 2002 but it has always been the main entrance and gathering spot for fans coming to Fenway Park.
In 1977, Fenway Park hosted the Cape Cod Baseball League and Atlantic Collegiate League all-star teams for the second time, having held the event for the first time in 1975. Just like in their first Fenway match-up, the Cape League defeated the Atlantic Collegiate team in 1977. On August 11, a team of Eastern League (Double-A) All-Stars defeated the Bristol Red Sox, Boston's minor league affiliate in the Eastern League, by a 5-3 margin at Fenway Park.
|1977 Non-Red Sox Baseball At Fenway Park
|August 1
|Cape Cod Baseball League 8, Atlantic Collegiate League 3*

|Eastern League All-Stars 5, Bristol Red Sox 3
* From 1975 to 1987, on a biennial basis, Fenway Park hosted an all-star game between the Cape Code Baseball League and the Atlantic Collegiate League. The all-star game alternated between Fenway Park and sites closer to the ACL's teams, such as Yankee Stadium and Veterans Stadium. In 1988, the Cape Cod Baseball League returned to an intra-league format for their annual all-star game and in 2009, Cape Code League All-Stars returned to Fenway Park for the Cape Cod League All-Star Game, which was played again in 2010.

|Near Eastern "Stonehenge"
The study of ancient civilizations, the origins of man, pre-history and how religions and their texts came to be are some of the most fascinating endeavors we can undertake. The field contains many elements of truth as well as misinterpretations, mistranslations, misinformation, disinformation and charlatans out to make money from the gullible. Each individual so inclined needs to do his own research and come to his own conclusions or perhaps accept the very real possibility that we will never know the whole story.
One of the most interesting figures in these studies is Zecharia Sitchin. A most prolific researcher and writer, his popularity remains extensive even after his death in 2010. Below are some of Sitchin's writings and related information in pdf format. One should keep in mind that Sitchin's theories may be skewed by his Hebrew background but that should not deter us from taking a look at his work. Does what he had to say have relevance in today's world? You be the judge.

Welcome to Gustin House
Gustin House, a musical-cultural centre and a Provincal Heritage Property, was the home and studio of the distinguished piano teacher, Lyell Gustin (1895-1988). For almost seven decades, hundreds of students came to "512" for music lessons; often, professional musicians, artists and visitors gathered with them for performances and other cultural events. The Lyell Gustin Piano Studios became known nationally and internationally for musical excellence. Many of the students Lyell Gustin taught, adjudicated, and mentored went on to professional music careers on the provincial, national and international levels; other Studio graduates assumed leadership roles in the arts, education, and cultural and civic life. Among initiatives in which Dr. Gustin played a key part were the establishment of the Saskatchewan Registered Music Teachers' Association, the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers' Associations, and the Young Artist Series, all of which continue to this day.
In 1988, Dr. Gustin's property was purchased by his former student, Lloyd Rodwell. Mr. Rodwell created the Gustin/Trounce Heritage Committee to oversee Gustin House; he also arranged that the House be a rental residence, as it stayed for some time after his passing in 1996. During the first months of 2005, the Committee, which includes several former Gustin students, fully restored the interior and exterior of the House; and on May 31, 2005--the 110th anniversary of Dr. Gustin's birth--the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan inaugurated the House as a centre dedicated to the legacy of Lyell Gustin.
The House is now used for performances and inter-arts events presented by the Committee, for occasional meetings of music groups, and for exhibit of materials that document Lyell Gustin's career and his extraordinary contribution to music and the arts over his lifetime.
Gustin House also serves as the centre from which major recitals are organized for larger local venues, following the ideal of Dr. Gustin himself, who brought fine performing artists to local audiences. Details of programs presented by Gustin House since 2005 are available in Gustin House News, Past Events, and Newsletters.
Another structure of historic significance on the property is Trounce House, which dates from 1883 and is Saskatoon's oldest building. In summer 2007, the small Trounce structure was raised and placed on a concrete base further into the lot to assist in its stability and preservation. The Gustin and Trounce Houses were designated as Municipal Heritage Property on April 10, 1989 and as Provincial Heritage Property on April 24, 2008.
The Committee conducts ongoing research into the influential career and musical pedagogy of Dr. Gustin. For this purpose, as well as to create a Studio network, the Committee has located many Gustin graduates and friends across the continent and abroad. If you were associated with the Lyell Gustin Piano Studios as a student or colleague, or know others who were--or if you studied with someone of the Gustin circle and are among the many "musical descendants"--please contact us.
Gustin/Trounce Heritage Committee Inc., a non-profit volunteer organization, is a Registered Charity and provides income tax receipts for monetary donations. All contributions, including memorial and estate gifts, help ensure that the high artistic purpose of Dr. Gustin lives on, enriching society today, inspiring new generations. Donations are directed to the principal works of Gustin House: the presentation of musical recitals and inter-arts programs in the tradition and spirit of the Lyell Gustin Piano Studios, support for the musical formation of youth, and research and dissemination of information on the Gustin legacy.
To make a contribution, contact us; or mail your cheque, payable to Gustin House, c/o 47 Pony Trail, Riverside Estates, Saskatoon SK S7T1A4, Canada.

Just for the carpet
Dylan and I were at the Martinez yesterday just before the first carpet at Cannes to cover a women in film panel discussion by the New York Times. When we arrived, Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson had just come down, ready to head to the carpet. Her dress is actually better in person. It doesn't look so wet and clingy. The two of them together though, it's a really, really pretty picture. He's so handsome. And he was so cute in his patent trainers. And he's always just so not about himself too, with an easy, friendly way in any environment.
So we went into our shoot, and we stayed for 45 minutes or so, and when we were leaving, just after 7:30pm walking through the lobby, Diane and Josh, they were just coming back. Which means they literally just headed down to the Palais, posed, and then turned around, didn't bother with the film (Sleeping Beauty). Most of them do the same. And that's Cannes.

How to use HC in Cuba
In Cuba, the Hospitality Club is functioning in a very particular situation, mainly because there is very little internet access (for both hosts and guests) and because it is illegal for normal persons to invite a tourist to stay at their house. This makes it more difficult to use HC on your travel in Cuba. But it is well worth the extra effort. It is a lot easier for HC hosts to help you, if they know in advance that and when you are coming. Since you might not be able to communicate per internet while in Cuba (see reasons below), it makes sense to contact all of your prospective Cuban hosts well in advance and take note of their phone numbers, so you can call them when in Cuba.
Most Cubans don't speak English. If you want to be able to communicate with more than the handful of select persons who know English, you should consider learning some Spanish. Actually it is not very difficult and a few simple expressions already help a lot. If you already know a little bit of Spanish, you can learn some more so you will be able to understand what is going on around you and communicate with everyone.
Good to know
- Casas particulares
"Casas particulares" are the Cuban version of a Bed&Breakfast. These houses have to buy a license from the government that costs at least 140 CUC per month. Therefore they can hardly ever rent their rooms for less than 10 CUC per night. This is the standard and cheapest accommodation for individual travellers. If you are on a tight budget, you should consider bringing a tent, to avoid spending 10-15 CUC each night.
- Jineteros - Comisión
Jineteros are persons who offer services or products to tourists and charge some commission (which they won't tell you about of course). Things on offer are: casa particular, food, cigars, sex (chicas), transport etc. Typical commissions are 5 CUC per person per night at a casa particular. If you are paying 15 CUC, 10 go to the house owner and 5 to the jinetero who brought you there. If you want to get the cheapest possible rate you need to go to the house by yourself and ask for a discount. Even a helpful person just showing you the way can charge the commission if he takes you all the way to the house. When someone calls you in the street or on public places to offer you one of the above mentioned services, you can safely assume that he is a jinetero. Girls who go out with tourists are also called "jineteras", because it is assumed that they do so out of pure financial interest. (Many Cubans believe that foreigners are not good in bed!) Because of the huge economic gap between Cubans' salaries and the amounts of money that tourists spend, these activities are financially very attractive. The heavy environment with many jineteros waiting for toursist is one of the main reasons why individual tourists often get tired of Cuba very quickly. This is one of the big reasons why it makes a lot of sense to spend time with your HC hosts! While you are shown around by your Cuban friends, you avoid all that hassle!
- Internet, Telephone
A few Cubans have email at their workplace or at school, even less have internet access. Besides economic reasons this is a way to control the flow of information in Cuban society.
Telephones are not that rare, but still the bigger part of the population doesn't have one at home. Therefore, when Cubans give you "their" phone number, often it is that of a neighbour and when you call them it takes a while until they reach the phone.
Calling abroad is beyond the possibilities of most Cubans - a call to Europe costs about 3 Euro a minute! Cell phones are also very expensive: 0,45 CUC/min to call and 0,35 CUC/min to receive a call. If you compare to average salaries, you get an idea.
If you need to use the internet, besides the big hotels, Etecsa, the telephone company offers that service for 6 CUC per hour. Yes, that is very expensive! And that is the reason why it makes sense, to make your HC contacts before coming to Cuba.
For making calls in Cuba, the best is to buy a card ("tarjeta propria") in moneda nacional. You can use it on almost all public and private phones.
- Money
There are two local currencies: Pesos Cubanos, also called "moneda nacional", MN and Pesos Convertibles, also called "divisa", CUC, "chavitos", "fula" or dólares. 1 CUC = 25 Pesos Cubanos. You can change foreign as well as the two local currencies at agencies called CADECA. You should not bring US Dollars to Cuba, because when changing them you will be charged about 20% fee on top of the normal exchange rate. In August 2006 1 Euro was about 1,14 CUC. In most cases, products or services offered in Moneda Nacional are a lot cheaper than those offered in Divisa. When you ask hawkers about a price, they like to say something like "only two pesos". But they are not talking about Pesos Cubanos, they are talking about Pesos Convertibles!
- Average Salary vs. Tourist Economy
Normal Cuban salaries are between 250 and 450 Pesos Cubanos. All tourist services are charged in Convertible Pesos. If you look at prices for tourists and for locals, you can see a huge gap. There is a two-class economy in Cuba and most Cubans are part of the lower class most of the time, and most tourists are part of the higher class most of the time.
- Llorar Miseria
Because of the huge economic differences between most Cubans and foreigners, Cubans usually spend a lot of time complaining about this situation. You will get used to it after a while.
- Rastafari
Dreadlocks are frowned upon by many Cubans. Those Cubans who wear them have few options other than making friends with tourists and live off the money that their "new friends" bring.
- Policía, Carné
Because of "jineteros" and prostitution, police checks the people who walk around with tourists. So if you get stopped by the police and the Cubans who are with you are asked for their documents, don't be worried. That is just the way the Cuban state keeps ahead of their people who might be tempted to get involved in illegal activities.
- Cómo conocer a gente normal?
If you would like to get to know normal Cuban people, just chat up someone at the bus stop or wherever you are. Generally Cubans are very open and friendly. The trick is to watch out for who initiates contact. If it was you, it is generally safe. If it was the Cuban who called you or came to talk to you, there might be some interest involved. Because people dislike "jineteros" so much, Cubans do not want to look like one. That is why the foreigner has to be the one who initiates contact with most normal Cuban people.
- Food
You can eat for CUC in tourist restaurants. If you want to eat like Cubans do, it will be way cheaper, probably not quite as clean, and sometimes not easy to find. Okay, if you see a cafeteria somewhere, you just walk in and can buy the things which are usually displayed on a board. But many good things are sold by people in their houses. So ask normal people where you can find good value food. You need to say, that you want to eat something in Moneda Nacional, though. Otherwise you will probably be sent to the tourist restaurants.
- Piropos
Cuban men love to look at women's bodies, and Cuban women love to be looked at and dress accordingly. But usually it doesn't stop at that. If they find you beautiful, they'll tell you so. They make all kinds of invitations, remarks or compliments. If you don't like this kind of attention, don't go to Cuba! However, if you have your boyfriend/husband with you and your relation is obvious for everyone, this will greatly reduce the number of advances of Cuban men.
- Pedir el último
Whenever you get to a place where you need to wait - a bus stop, the bank etc. you need to ask for the last person in the queue. You say loudly "El último?" until someone reveals him/herself. This system is very widespread and it is quite rare to see Cubans waiting in a straight line (which of course eliminates the necessity to ask who is the last one).
- Los CDR
CDR means Comité por la Defensa de la Revolución. It is like the communist neighbourhood organization. Every house belongs to a CDR. Through this organization the government is in touch with (and in control of) the whole Cuban population. If ever you are able to stay at a Cuban's house, chances are that he has a good connection with his CDR's president.
- Yuma
"Yuma" is a Cuban term for foreigners with a despective connotation. If you hear the word, there is a good probablity that someone is saying something nasty about you, so watch out!
- CVPs
There are "security" guys sitting around the entrance of almost any institution in Cuba. Unless it is high-security they usually don't take their job so serious. But if you stop and greet them or even ask them a question, they will always start to get interested in who you are, what you are doing there etc. Best thing is to avoid that. Just walk in. If they call you, be friendly and give them an explanation of who you are going to visit. In the end they usually give in.

Hospitality Club Meetings
Pieces of ADVICE for Hospitalityclub Members by leocuba:
1. I advise you to better bring Euros, in some places they even accept Euros, for example in Varadero. You can also bring some cash because in some provinces there are no ATMs, but in the main cities like Havana, Varadero, Santiago etc. I saw some foreign friends of mine with troubles, because they brought cards of their countries that were not accepted, but all the ATMs accept Visa and Master Card.
2. About Accommodation, I can tell you that here exist lots of fine hotels, but I think it's better that you rent a room in a particular house; Particular houses are some houses that the goverment allow to receive foreigners and Cubans, they are cheaper than hotels, for example a particular house may cost 15-25 CUC, it depends on the season you come here, if there are lots of foreigners in the country, the price gets high and if there are few, the cost will get low. In Varadero I think you will have to rent a room in a hotel, Varadero and Havana are more expensive than other parts of the country.
3. With your driver's licence you can drive here in Cuba without any problems, if you want to rent a car the prices are from 50-60 CUC per day, more or less, and the insurance is about 200 CUC, if you take care of the car, the office will give you back all the money. The gas price is about: 0.65 - 0.75 – 1.10 CUC per litre, depending on the quality of the gas.
4. If you want to stay in a Cuban's house, a friend or whatever in Cuba, you must get in immigration department a family visa, because the government doesn't allow Cubans to have foreigners in their house, so don't ask for accommodation to a Cuban, unless you get a family visa when you arrive here.
5. Here there are no restricted areas for foreigners, you can go where do you want, you will be free in our country.
Cubans! Look at them under www.travel-impressions.de under "Cuba" and you can feel them. I know some good affordable places to stay in Habana. If you need some advice, send me an email. You find my contact on my website with the photos. And if you want to get in touch with the Jazz Dancers on my homepage, tell me. They are wonderful!!!!

0, PEOPLE IN DH&S: j0 Phil Sandmaier When the page is turned to the firm's new fiscal year this coming June and a fresh class of partners and managers take on the new responsibilities that their promotion implies, the record will show one retirement of more than passing interest to hundreds of people in Deloitte Haskins & Sells. Phil Sandmaier, now the partner who supervises the U.S. operations of the firm, will be taking early retirement at age 60 and saying farewell to the daily routine. It is not simply his present supervisory position that has made him so widely known from one end of the firm to the other. Nor is it just the fact that he has served in seven offices of the firm (Executive Office twice) that has brought him into contact with so many of us, although his travels have certainly helped. Nor is it even the fact that he is one of the most interesting, most natural public speakers among the firm partners, with a rare gift for mimicry as he acts out his anecdotes with humor that often brings down the house with laughter. It is more the kind of person he is that makes him memorable. Phil has always gone more than halfway with everyone to make friends, to inspire confidence and to motivate others to their best professional performance. Through the years, many younger people in the firm have come away from a meeting or discussion with Phil determined to work their heads off because they like the man. Some might say that it's a neat trick if you can do it. Those who know Phil realize it is no trick. It's just the way he is. In a large organization of professionals with similar basic training, there is the tendency at times to assume that any of a number of candidates can carry out a given job (or "fill a slot") with equal chances of success. Under this assumption, the emphasis is on working hard and applying one's intelligence to a situation in an impersonal, systematic way. But what this view leaves out of consideration is that human beings are as different in their makeup as snowflakes are in design, and the executive who ignores individuality cannot be a successful manager of people. He may crack his whip louder than a Simon Legree or roar commands like a Captain Bligh. But he will be oblivious to Phil Sandmaier's basic rule: "I always try to look at things from the other fellow's viewpoint." It is as a humanist, a person who cares about the motivations of other people, that Phil has made his special mark in our firm. His expert touch as a manager and a leader who gets things done was developed over a good many years. A look at his record may be instructive to those with the desire to follow, if they can, in his footsteps. Philip J. Sandmaier, Jr. was born in Buffalo, New York in 1919. His early childhood and youth were spent there and in Youngstown, Ohio, where his father worked for Republic Steel Corporation. Some of Phil's early memories, as he looks back on those days, bring back his father's thoughtful counsel to him in looking ahead toward a working career. The senior Sandmaier had started out in a steel mill at age 13 as a helper tending an open-hearth furnace. By applying himself to learning more about the job of steelmaking than most others around him cared to know, he worked his way up through the supervisory ranks and into the front office. Phil recalls his father's discussing various occupations, including that of metallurgist, which occurred naturally to a young man growing up in a steel town. But in the bleak 1930s as the time for college approached, Phil was particularly impressed by his father's saying that although he knew of a good many engineers and metallurgists out of work during the Great Depression, he had never known of an unemployed accountant. So Phil decided on accounting and entered the College of Commerce of the University of Notre Dame in the fall of 1936. Four years later, in June 1940, he graduated with a number of distinctions. He had the leading academic record in the College of Commerce, and was only the third student with an overall average of 95 or above since the college was founded in 1920. He was valedictorian of his class. And what was more fortunate for him and for the firm, he was one of two Notre Dame students recruited by Haskins & Sells that year. In those days campus recruiting was just barely starting, and our firm, General Electric and Burroughs were the only employers who visited the campus the spring that Phil graduated. The scene shifts to the report department of the New York practice office, where Phil was introduced to the fine art of comparing and proving in the fall of 1940. By this time the Selective Service Act had become law, and a few weeks later Phil found himself holding "a very low number" in the draft lottery. So it was a race with time to see how much he could learn, how much experience he could absorb, before he was called. "We all had a chance to see how a good audit report should be written, and we learned to work under pressure," Phil says, looking back on those report-department training days. "And I'll never forget the impression it made on me when a partner or a manager extended himself to thank one of us beginners for our work, or to pay a compliment for a job well done. I especially remember William Bell's coming around from one desk to another one evening to thank each of us when we were working under great 26

Southwest Airlines' arrival changes airport's perception
Travelers and visitors should benefit from low cost-carrier's presence at Gerald R. Ford International.
Southwest Airlines will begin its Grand Rapids service Aug. 11 with its first flight going to St. Louis.
The low-cost carrier announced in February it would offer six nonstop daily flights to four destinations from Grand Rapids: Baltimore, Orlando, St. Louis and Denver.
The addition of Southwest service is a big deal for the region — one that stakeholders in the area have been pursuing for 13 years. The airline transports more domestic passengers per year than any other.
The addition of Southwest service will replace that of AirTran Airways, which Southwest purchased in 2011. AirTran was the first low-cost carrier to enter the Grand Rapids market, coming to the area in 2009 and providing service to Orlando and Baltimore.
"When AirTran came in, obviously it brought low-cost service to our market, and going to Baltimore and Orlando allowed you to connect to nine different other cities," said Brian Ryks, airport executive director. "The significance of Southwest not only continuing their Baltimore and Orlando service, but also adding St. Louis and Denver means you will be able to now connect to more than 40 other markets throughout the Southwest system.
"The important thing about St. Louis and Denver, especially, is it really opens up a lot of west-bound markets and additional southeast markets that currently we don't have one-stop service to."
Following Southwest's purchase of AirTran, Grand Rapids service was not a guarantee. Ryks pointed out the airline decided to stop service in 14 markets where AirTran previously operated.
"Once Southwest purchased AirTran, we still had to work to convince Southwest that it was a viable market for them to continue operating in," said Ryks.
He believes Grand Rapids and the West Michigan region will be able to sustain the service, and credits Experience Grand Rapids, in part, for its efforts that have led to the region becoming a destination city.
Following Southwest's announcement, low-cost carrier Frontier indicated it would end its Grand Rapids relationship.
Frontier has been operating a daily flight to Denver. It is common practice for the airline to end service in airports where Southwest has moved in due to the competition for the Denver market.
"Are we disappointed? Yes, we are," Ryks said. "We would have loved to retain Frontier as an airline here, but at the same time we weren't surprised.
"I think we will maintain our existing seat capacity to Denver, but again the good thing about Southwest and their Denver service is that there will be many more connecting opportunities than I think Frontier had to offer."
Prior to Southwest's arrival, Grand Rapids had a lot of room to grow in terms of carrier service. Ryks said now the airport has certainly taken a step up in caliber, but he still sees room for increased service.
"It's always high on our priority list to continue to seek out as many nonstop destinations and connecting opportunities as possible, and we will certainly continue that as we go," Ryks said.
"I think the best example of that may be with the American (Airlines) and US Air merger. We think there are some additional opportunities that will result from that merger that we will continue to pursue, along with other low-cost carrier options."
In addition to carriers and service destinations, the airport is continuing to improve its facilities and enhancing customer service.
Renovations to Concourse B are under way, Concourse A will see some minor updates, and the security checkpoints will be consolidated, opening up more retail and concession options for travelers beyond the checkpoint.
Ryks said that the airport's partnership with Experience Grand Rapids' Ambassador Program is already enhancing customer service. Experience Grand Rapids trains ambassadors to assist visitors with all types of information about the city — accommodations, restaurants, activities and other advice.
"They do a great job. … We've received so many compliments related to the information that these ambassadors are giving out."
The airport also recently joined Twitter and expects to grow its social media presence as another way to enhance its customer service and communicate with travelers in the region.

Easy and convenient 'all in one' e-cig
All in one e-cig kit
We are proud to offer a wide range of high quality, innovative e-cigarette kits. With a generous selection of e-cigarette and battery mod kits available full of the latest e-cig technology, including temperature control devices, you are bound to be spoilt for choice.
So whether you're a new vaper looking for simplicity or pride yourself as a vaping expert on the lookout for the latest e-cig mods, we are sure that you will find your ideal e-cigarette here. To better aid with decision making, we have provided an overview of the e-cigarettes we have to offer, which should ultimately help you to choose the right device.
If an e-cigarette which requires minimal effort to start vaping is preferred, we supply a plentiful range of 'pod' kits. These e-cigarettes utilise a (generally) disposable tank and atomizer built-in, meaning that all they need is to be filled up with e-liquid to be used.
Starting with the TEROS, this sleek pod device would be well suited to anybody looking for a hassle free vaping experience. The battery is automatically activated which means a simple inhale is all that is needed to start producing vapour. Another easy to use device is the EXCEED pod kit, which not only looks stunning, but functions exceptionally well and features a larger battery capacity. For those after something uniquely stylish without making concessions on vaping performance, the nautically inspired RunAbout would be a well considered choice.
The eGo AIO range of e-cigarettes has become one of the first devices thought of when mentioning Joyetech. These high quality, stylishly designed products offer a simple yet refined vaping experience. With an undemanding method of operation, these all in one e-cigarettes are ideal for both new and existing vapers to use every day.
The original product within this range is the eGo AIO, a beautifully simple device which can cater to various vaping styles and would make the ideal introduction to this e-cigarette series. If extended battery life is preferred, then the eGo AIO ECO with its innovative 'ECO' technology is worth considering, as the lower voltage output allows for longer life inbetween charges. It would make a good match for new vapers or those who require something compact and easy to use. If the device in question needs to last all day, then the eGo AIO Mansion could be the answer. This Art Deco inspired e-cigarette would be well suited to vapers who are looking for the maximum battery life available, without sacrificing on size.
The ESPION e-cigarette range encapsulates Joyetech's commitment to providing customers with superbly built vaping products without compromising on looks. Built to appeal to those who prefer their e-cigarettes to have more power and features, the ESPION product set is ideal for anyone looking for higher powered e-cigarettes with a longer lasting battery life.
Starting with the ESPION Tour, this stylish, lightweight and powerful e-cigarette would make a good fit for those who would prefer more power. If high power is not required, the ESPION Silk is a fine example of Joyetech's continuous innovation. The Silk is a medium sized device capable of producing more vapour than conventional 'pen-style' e-cigarettes, and would be a good choice for people who would prefer vaping at a lower power level. Lastly there is the stunning ESPION Solo, which was released to celebrate Joyetech's 10th anniversary. The ESPION Solo has a host of features including a responsive touchscreen, showcasing the high calibre and innovation people have come to expect.
We stock a full complement of Joyetech e-cigarettes, all of which are manufactured to the highest standard to not only meet, but exceed expectation. From the ATOPACK Magic and Ultex T80, which utilise forward-thinking rebuildable atomizer technology, to the EXCEED range, that provides an outstanding vape thanks to the class-leading EX atomizer heads, there truly is no better place to visit for all of your Joyetech requirements within the UK.
If you are unsure where to start and require help now, you can call a member of our team on 01254 264118 between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm, Monday to Friday.

As Nancy Pelosi likes to say, you can't find out what's in a bill until you pass it … or until someone reads it. The Washington Post reported this morning that a clause in the omnibus spending package passed by the House last night contained an interesting line item inserted by appropriators. The bill denied any funding to switch the drone program from CIA to Defense, as the White House planned:
Congress has moved to block President Obama's plan to shift control of the U.S. drone campaign from the CIA to the Defense Department, inserting a secret provision in the massive government spending bill introduced this week that would preserve the spy agency's role in lethal counterterrorism operations, U.S. officials said.
The measure, included in a classified annex to the $1.1 trillion federal budget plan, would restrict the use of any funding to transfer unmanned aircraft or the authority to carry out drone strikes from the CIA to the Pentagon, officials said.
The provision represents an unusually direct intervention by lawmakers into the way covert operations are run, impeding an administration plan aimed at returning the CIA's focus to traditional intelligence gathering and possibly bringing more transparency to drone strikes.
The problem is that the DoD has some target selection issues, as the Post's Greg Miller goes on to note:
Those apprehensions were amplified after a U.S. military strike in Yemen last month killed a dozen people, including as many as six civilians, in an 11-vehicle convoy that tribal leaders said was part of a wedding procession. U.S. officials said that the strike was aimed at a senior al-Qaeda operative but that reviews of the operation have raised concern that it failed to comply with White House guidelines requiring "near certainty" that no civilians would be harmed.
On Wednesday, there were reports that another U.S. strike had killed a farmer in Yemen.
The "secret" provision didn't stay secret for long. After the Post's report went out, an angry John McCain took to the Senate floor to rip appropriators in both chambers for overstepping their bounds:
Waving around a copy of The Post while speaking on the Senate floor, McCain blasted his colleagues on the Senate and House Appropriations committee for making such a key decision without formally and publicly consulting the authorizing committees for the CIA and Defense Department.
"The Appropriations Committee has no business making these decisions," he said. "The job of the Armed Services Committee and the job of the Intelligence Committee is to authorize these things. There was no hearing on the Intelligence Committee. There was no hearing on the Armed Services Committee."
"The appropriations have gotten into the business of the authorizing committees," he added later. "That is a violation of every procedure and process that this Senate is supposed to be pursuing."
The big question should be whether the shift of drone warfare to Defense is wise. Target selection and competence comes into play here, but there are legitimate questions of transparency involved, too. However, one can't help but think that politics might be taking precedence over results here. Obama gets hammered on drone policy from the Left, and he might be looking for ways to limit the damage by making it more transparent — which might have the effect of making it less effective, too, as well as less accurate.
For an example of the attacks Obama gets from his allies on this, here's the transcript from Greta van Susteren noting that Obama's former pastor Jeremiah Wright made a pointed comparison between Martin Luther King, Jr and Obama, and CNN also covered the remarks:
VAN SUSTEREN: And Griff Jenkins joins us live from Chicago. Griff, that didn't quite work out as well as you had planned.
JENKINS: Hi, Greta. Well, after being invited to his speech, Reverend Wright completely ignored us, all of us in the media, and kicked our cameras out when he gave his speech, for which we found out why, the content of the speech. Reverend Wright wasted no time launching into his incendiary remarks, many of which were directed at President Obama, saying things like we need to tell the truth about our politicians and their policies. He used lines and I, quote. "King said, 'I have a dream.' Barack said, 'I have a drone'." He went on to describe a kill list that President Obama looks at every Tuesday and chooses who he is going to kill.
To McCain's point, though, how should Congress formulate their policy? The reason why both chambers have intelligence and armed services committees is so that they can specialize on those policy areas and make wise decisions … or at least wiser. At the very least, appropriators should have consulted those committees before inserting secret provisions that usurp their jurisdiction.
And this leaves another pertinent question: Just how many more secret provisions are in this omnibus spending bill, and what do those do? We'll see if McCain forces the Senate to slow down on this bill and get people to take a closer look at it so that we don't discover just those nuggets that the media find interesting.

There are a ton of things that I eventually want to make; like my own ketchup from scratch, or sandwich bread and jam. Today it is lemon-pepper. I needed some for a recipe so I set out to make it myself.
How hard could it be? Have you ever made your own lemon pepper seasoning? Am I the only freak who would? Don't answer that. Actually my mom is a weirdo just like me… she makes her own poultry seasoning… so there, I'm not alone.
Lemon pepper seasoning is like the all-purpose seasoning to fish and chicken, like Lawry's is to beef and eggs and like chocolate is to pretzels.
Well it is painfully simple to make and in this recipe you won't find any artificial modified-anything! Just yummy lemony-peppery-flavory. Sorry-y.
Start with a lot of lemons, pepper and salt! Now I know four are pictured but I added the zest of another lemon.
Now if you want more lemon than pepper reduce the amount of pepper or increase the lemon zest.
So I started out with 4 to see how much I would need…
Lemme just tell ya, you need a whole lotta lemon zest! So I added another lemon to the zest pile.
I used a mixture of half black and half the "peppercorn medley" because not only does it have pink, green and white peppercorns, but it has coriander and allspice in it as well. I just tossed them in my spice grinder and gave'em a quick pulse.
Give it a good stir, mashing the lemon zest into the pepper.
There is no "exact amount" of lemon zest. I probably should have measured it all out for you. But it depends on the size of the lemons you are using. So I say between 5 and 7 lemons.
Pile it in the center of a parchment lined baking sheet.
Spread it out and bake at the lowest setting until the zest is completely dried. Mine took an hour… it may take longer depending on how much set you're using.
I checked on it every now and again and give it a toss. Spread it back out and back into the oven it goes.
It smells pretty good right about now.
Once completely dried. Add to a spice grinder.
Place the lid on tight and blitz away.

Emeril Live taught me to cook. During university, I was a devoted fan of the program that transformed the burly New Orleans chef Emeril Lagasse into a global superstar and begat the celebrity-chef craze of the past decade. Each night, as Emeril bammed(!) his way through Southern recipes, imploring viewers to "kick it up a notch," I was learning how to hold a knife, season fish, heat a pan, sear a steak and mince garlic. By the end of my second year, while my friends were still figuring out stir-fry, I was serving them turkey gumbo and crab cakes.
A few years ago, I finally ate at one of the chef's restaurants, in Miami Beach. Greeted by a giant portrait of Lagasse's face, I was escorted past the wrought-iron gate embossed with his florid signature onto a vast seaside terrace. The food was supposed to be the summation of Lagasse's career: the greatest hits of his nouveau Creole cooking, but it was underwhelming and overpriced. Picking around gummy scallops and a tough pork chop, I could see the restaurant for what it was … a blatant bank withdrawal on Emeril's fame. I didn't pick up a commemorative cooking apron on the way out.
That meal came to my mind last week after reading Pete Wells's scorched-earth review of Guy's American Kitchen & Bar, in The New York Times. The Guy in question is Guy Fieri, Food Network's current catchphrase-slinging poster boy, whose Times Square flagship was designed as a destination for fans of his show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Wells gutted the place with a barrage of zingers: "Hey, did you try that blue drink, the one that glows like nuclear waste? The watermelon margarita? Any idea why it tastes like some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde?" It is already one of the most-read restaurant reviews of all time.
For Fieri haters, who see him as the culinary Antichrist, responsible for every aspect of bad taste – from clothing to language, from health to flavour – Wells's evisceration was sweet vindication. To Fieri's fans, it was elitist sniping at a man who celebrates the very unpretentious, blue-collar food that makes American dining great. Either way, it was inevitable this would happen. Every chef who moves from the kitchen to the limelight lives in the crosshairs, and Fieri, the most bombastic, polarizing food-television personality ever to grace the screen, knowingly waltzed into the kill zone when he opened up in Times Square.
Let's give Fieri his due. Beyond his frosted highlights, the Christian Audigier of chili dogs has done remarkable things for American popular food. Fieri shines the spotlight on earnest family businesses, many of which are struggling to survive. His fans will take road trips thousands of miles to sample the taco salads and giant burgers he showcases, raising the fortunes of those restaurants overnight.
There's a threshold a chef crosses when become he or she becomes a celebrity. In their transition from slicing shallots to signing autographs, they need to make a choice. Will they remain a kitchen chef first and foremost, like David Chang, Thomas Keller and Martin Picard, or will they be entertainers, who leave their restaurants behind like Rachel Ray or Paula Deen, bringing joy to the masses? Julia Child could have opened a whole chain of cafés, but she didn't. Not everyone has such will power.
Fieri is, above all, a host and entertainer, and he is one of the best in the business. His culinary talents (or lack thereof) are, essentially, irrelevant. Fieri spent his career in California's suburban bar-restaurants, and he still owns places like Tex Wasabi's (finally, sushi and barbecue under one roof!), but he's never been lauded as a great kitchen talent.
The same goes for Anthony Bourdain, who vocally despises Fieri and all he stands for. Bourdain wondered recently to an audience whether age would force Fieri to "de-douche" (become less obnoxious). I remember a lacklustre meal I had at the Washington, D.C., location of Brasserie Les Halles when Bourdain was still its executive chef. In no way did the sinewy steak frites and weak service that day diminish my admiration of Bourdain's razor-sharp writing and wry observations. He'd moved beyond the need to prove himself in the kitchen, and we, as a food culture, are richer for it.

KAT DAHLIA Releases Video For Single 'Gangsta'
When Kat Dahlia's single, "Gangsta," hit the internet, the web went crazy Kat's a natural born storyteller, and people connect to her music and her razor-sharp lyrics about her hard-knock life. XXL commented, "She spits her lifewith no hesitation of going personal" while MTV.com called her the "hip hop Lana Delray." Others have compared her to a diverse range of artists, from Santigold to Adele, but there's one sentiment everyone seems to share: Kat Dahlia's music is fierce, personal and raw.
With the release of "Gangsta," her first single with her first video premiering on VEVO on today http://bit.ly/ZXSmoy, Kat's proven herselfwell-beyond worthy of the buzz that started when she signed with Sylvia Rhone'sVested In Culture/Epic label last year. Rhone who easily qualifies as a legend, delivered a formidable endorsement by signing Kat to her label.
Kat recorded her album over the past six months, and she's about to officially turn it up. Today, three bundled tracks (Gangsta, Money Party and Mirror) from her upcoming debut will be available on iTunes http://smarturl.it/gangsta3track, Amazon MP3 and all digital providers. On March 15, Kat will head to SXSW, where she'll be performing at several shows to be announced soon.SXSW marks her first public live shows and she's going big! On top of all of that, she has been chosen as a BET Music Matters artist.
Raised by Cuban-born parents in Miami Beach, Kat began singing when she was 8 and started writing songs at 15, ripping instrumentals from YouTube in lieu of a band."I write my own music," she says. "If you want to break it down, I'm just being myself."
Saving money from a waitressing gig, Kat moved to New York in 2010.She was almost derailed by what she describes as a "toxic relationship," but she got herself out of it, and emerged fired up as a writer, with new insight and a deepened commitment to uncompromising emotional honesty. Coming up with the funds to finance studio time, Kat released a music video and an EP, and signed with Vested In Culture (VIC) shortly thereafter.

Guns and The Amish School Shooting
Before I begin, let me clearly state that I personally don't own a gun. I never have and I probably never will (except maybe my father's 9mm police service pistol that will never be shot nor loaded -- it still has the protective orange clip in it, which will remain there). I am not a big fan of guns and I have never shot one. I would go hunting, except I don't own land and no one has ever invited me, but I don't think I would keep a gun in the house even then. On a trip to Toronto I was impressed at how few gun deaths that city has had because the nation of Canada is generally handgun free. And I have always been in favor of legislation that does not violate the 2nd Amendment, but does stop criminals from obtaining guns.
Having said all that, let me clearly state that I am tired of all the blogs and editorials talking about gun control in the wake of the Amish school shooting in Pennsylvania. The gunman, Charles Carl Roberts IV, obtained all of his guns legally and to my knowledge no legislation has ever been introduced that would have denied him access to any of the weapons he brought to the school that day. Many people would like to blame the NRA or the Republican Party for voting down potential laws that would have stopped such an act, but the truth is NO ONE has tried to enact legislation that would have even curbed the possibility of such an action one bit. If these people want to blame someone they are going to have to settle with writing commentaries denouncing the Founding Fathers who inserted into the Constitution the Second Amendment.
Now, does that mean I don't support legislation like the Brady Bill, which went into effect in 1994? Of course not! As I said above, I fully support government action that keeps guns out of the hands of criminals and away from children. But while the Brady Bill probably did help to curb some violence, it was powerless to stop Charles Carl Roberts IV from entering into a school in Pennsylvania and using his weapons to viciously kill children. And I believe those who are bringing this subject up right now ought to be honest about that. Instead of harping about how bad the NRA is or how much the Republican party is contributing to violence, why not talk about the real source of evil in the this situation - SIN.
The sinful condition, brought about at the Fall, is what motivates men to act in evil ways. In these last days we have seen an increase visually in what has always been present in the heart of man. Nothing man-enacted will curb violence. The only thing that will stop violence is a repentance of sin and a turning toward the one and only Savior, Jesus Christ. The one thing that I have heard over and over again during the televised coverage of this massacre that we can all rejoice in is the attitudes and actions of the Amish people during this difficult time. The humility and Christlike grace that these people have shown in the midst of tragedy is compelling and glorifying to God. Never has the reality of the peace that Christ brings so dominated the news than in the last few days. And that is what I would like to see more Christian bloggers - left and right speaking out about. Let's talk about the reality of sin and the forgiveness extended to us by our Heavenly Father, not about legislation that will never change the impact of either of those two.

Welcome to the official website for the City of Albany, New York. New York State's Capital City has been making history for more than 400 years. Albany was first claimed by Henry Hudson for the Dutch in 1609 and was chartered as a city in 1686, making us the second oldest chartered city in the country.
Albany was designated as the State Capital in 1797. Our rich history is prominently displayed in our architecture and venerable institutions, including one of the oldest museums in the country, founded in 1791.
Albany's historic and diverse neighborhoods are the foundation of our City and the positive impact of new investment in our neighborhoods can be seen in Park South, the South End, Sheridan Hollow, Arbor Hill and beyond. Over the last several years, we re-built or renovated every public elementary and middle school in the City, renovated every neighborhood library and built three new neighborhood branches. We are even growing a new neighborhood in our Downtown, which has seen unprecedented growth in new apartments and condominiums.
Downtown's vibrant arts and entertainment district continues to be a destination that draws thousands of people into Albany. Most importantly, Downtown continues to progress forward and draw new investments for the future. In June of 2014, the State will break ground on a new $66.5 million, 82,000 square foot convention center, and our historic Wellington Row and former Dewitt Clinton Hotel are slated for a complete renovation. Moreover, a large parcel of downtown property has been accumulated for re-development presenting an unprecedented opportunity to change the face of Downtown.
Our city is the economic and cultural center of the Capital Region of New York State. In addition to being the seat of State government, we are home to the State University at Albany, the College of Saint Rose, and major medical, pharmacy and law schools. We are also the home to the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, a world renowned institution that has attracted global businesses to the area, making us a premier business destination.
I welcome you to visit our City. I am sure you will find it to be as exciting and unique as our many residents, visitors, and business owners do.

This is an activity that can be used in many different ways. I love it because it takes the group (seemingly) so far away from their everyday work environment and yet the reality is that all of the individual strengths, weaknesses, and unique group dynamic, inevitably come out. You may have seen or heard of this activity as "Toxic Waste" which was what I first heard it as years ago. The materials are simple and can be found around your house. You can also go to the Project Adventure website (www.pa.org) and buy all of the materials under the Equipment, Props, Publications tab. The "Challenge Packs" are a great way to stock up on everything you need for experiential activities.
Debrief topics can include:
Model the Way
- Which behaviors were most effective in moving the group forward?
Inspire a Shared Vision
- What visionary leadership (if any) existed?
- How did this vision become shared within the group?
- How was it articulated?
- Through words or actions (or both)?
Challenge the Process
- When did the group begin to challenge the process?
- Who did this? How? How was the new idea(s) received?
Enable Others to Act
- Who took on the role on enabling others?
- What effect did this have on the group?
- Was this point of view listened to?
- Why or why not?
Encourage the Heart
- What did people do to encourage others?
- How did these actions make others feel?
- What more could have been done?
- To observe the elements of leadership in the group process
- To review the factors that inhibit and enhance effective group decision making
- To explore effective interpersonal communication
- To examine how each group member contributes to the final result
Suggested Time:
25 - 35 minutes - you can change the time to fit your needs and the needs of the group
Materials Needed:
- ½ of a bicycle tire tube
- Twelve 10 - 12 foot lengths of rope
- 2 large coffee cans or small buckets
- Rope or masking tape to form a circle with a 10 ft. radius
- Something to fill one of the cans/buckets 1/3 - ½ full (small balls, dried beans, etc.)
Number of People: 6 - 12 - If you have a large group, you can run two sessions side by side or in different parts of the room. This typically brings up issues of competition and collaboration which can be a great debrief topic.
Physical Setting: Choose a relatively flat area, with room outside of the circle for practice. This activity can be done either inside or outside.
Advance Preparation: Create the circle with the rope or tape. Larger circles make the activity more difficult. Place the half-filled cans in the center. All other materials are outside of the circle.
Presentation of Activity: Give the task, rules and resource. If dividing time into planning and execution phases, explain.
The Activity: The goal of this activity is for the group to transfer the contents from one can or bucket into the other while both canisters are in the middle of the large circle. They must achieve this without spilling any of the contents. The group can use any of the materials provided (or others in the room if you want to give them this option), but they cannot step inside of the circle at any time. This is a challenging activity which requires a high level of communication and teamwork. There are many ways to achieve the goal, but most groups figure out a way to use the 12 ropes and the bicycle tire tube to create a tool where they can lift and tip the bucket with the contents into the other bucket.
Rules: You can make the rules as simple or complex as you want depending on what you are trying to focus on with the group. The one rule that must always be observed is:
- No one can move inside of the circle at any time
Other rules can include:
- There is a time limit - You can divide the time into planning and execution phases if you want or see where the group goes on its own
- If anyone breaks the plane of the circle (e.g. their arm goes over the boundary when holding a rope) they lose the use of that part of their body (e.g. they can no longer use that arm)
- You can have the group execute the activity in silence. This forces them to plan differently and raises issues of non-verbal communication
You are limited only by your own imagination when determining the rules. Remember, however, don't make it so complicated that they get frustrated and give up.
You can assign one participant to be an observer or process consultant which creates an environment where they start to pay attention to individual and group behavior and begin to understand how that behavior effects the groups effectiveness.
Additional Debrief Topics:
- Effective/Ineffective leadership behaviors
- Was everyone involved in the planning process? In the execution? If not, why not? Who was involved? Who wasn't? Were all ideas voiced and considered?
- Did the group work together in planning or did they jump right into the activity? How did this effect the outcome?
- How did individuals feel during the activity? What they would do differently?
