Tuesday, April 1, 2014 - Text by Dev Sukumar | Badmintonphoto
The vagaries of sport were starkly evident on the opening day of the Yonex-Sunrise India Open 2014 with the exit of Arvind Bhat in the qualifiers.
Local hope Bhat (left), who won the biggest title of his career – the Yonex German Open – only a month ago defying all expectations, went down to a virtual unknown in the second round of the Men's Singles qualifying draw. Ajay Kumar, who is not a recognised name even in Indian badminton circles, beat Bhat 22-20 23-21 to earn a dream first-round date with top seed Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia.
Two other Indians – Czech International winner Anup Sridhar and Shreyansh Jaiswal – also qualified, along with Thailand's Suppanyu Avihingsanon (BWF home page).
The one significant name among the four Women's Singles qualifiers was China's Liu Xin (below), who was once ranked No. 5 but has since dropped to No. 83. Liu was barely seen last year – she won the only tournament in which she took part (the Adidas China Masters) – but has started off this year promisingly, winning the China International Challenge. She had an easy path to the main draw where she faces fellow-qualifier Shruti Mundada of India. Two other Indians also qualified: former Spanish Open champion Sayali Gokhale and Mudra Dhainje.
This year's India Open has attracted the strongest draw in its history. Heading the opposite ends of the Men's Singles draw are defending champion Lee Chong Wei and China's Chen Long. The two are yet again expected to clash in the final, and at stake is the momentum and confidence gained for all-important events such as the BWF World Championships in the second half of the year.
The final clash is not a foregone conclusion though. The Men's Singles draw brims with tough challengers and potential gate-crashers. Lee will be wary of Viktor Axelsen of Denmark and China's Du Pengyu in his half. Axelsen will have arrived after a confidence-boosting victory at the Swiss Open Grand Prix Gold in mid-March.
Chen Long has a tricky first round opponent in India's HS Prannoy, and possibly the exciting young Japanese Kento Momota or Denmark's Hans Kristian Vittinghus in the quarter-finals. Others, like Lee Dong Keun, Son Wan Ho (both Korea), Denmark's Jan O Jorgensen and India's K Srikanth are in his half and will be hungry for success against the second-seeded Chinese.
The Women's Singles is expected to go China's way, what with their top three – Li Xuerui (1), Wang Shixian (2) and Wang Yihan (3) – in contention. The one player who will be particularly keen to break their stranglehold will be local hope Saina Nehwal (8), who hasn't won a Superseries since the Denmark Open in 2012. Compatriot Sindhu PV, meanwhile, runs into All England champion Wang Shixian in the first round. The Indian has an enviable record against the second-seeded Chinese – she has an unbeaten record in three matches, and will look forward to making it 4-0. Other interesting early-round battles will be between Chinese Taipei's Tai Tzu Ying (7) and recent Malaysia Open GPG winner Yao Xue, and Wang Yihan against Thailand's Porntip Buranaprasertsuk.
* In Women's Doubles, China, with the luxury of several top-notch pairs, has decided to experiment once again. This time, the finalists at the All England have been split and rejigged, so young Tang Yuanting pairs up with World champion Yu Yang, while the experienced Wang Xiaoli and Ma Jin team up once more after long stints with other partners. Suci Rizky Andini/Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah (right) of Indonesia were among the qualifiers in Women's Doubles.
* Indonesia's Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir have a hat-trick of Mixed Doubles titles at the India Open. While the contest is essentially between them and two other pairs – Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei of China and Joachim Fischer Nielsen/Christinna Pedersen of Denmark – fans will also keep an eye out for Korea's Ko Sung Hyun/Kim Ha Na. Malaysia's Chan Peng Soon qualified with new partner Lai Pei Jing, as did compatriots Mohd Lutfi Zaim Abdul Rashid/Soong Fie Cho and Japan's Takeshi Kamura/Misato Aratama.
* China's Zhang Nan/Fu Haifeng strode into the main draw without trouble, getting past India's Arun Vishnu/Alwin Francis 21-12 21-17. India clinched the three other spots through Tarun Kona/Jishnu Sanyal, Arun George/Santosh Ravuri and Guru Prasad/Venkatesh Prasad. What makes the Men's Doubles significant is the presence of new combinations – Kim Sa Rang/Yoo Yeon Seong of Korea and veteran Tan Boon Heong with newcomer Ow Yao Han of Malaysia. World champions Mohammad Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan have skipped the event.

I am writing today from the Women in the World put on by Newsweek and The Daily Beast in New York City. The event has a special significance for me because one of the featured participants is a young Nepali woman named Suma Tharu. Suma is one of the 1,200 young female scholars that my Bureau has supported through our partnership with Room to Read. 10x10, a global action campaign and groundbreaking film, brought Suma to New York for the Women in the World Summit to share her story.
Suma was originally slated to sing a song she wrote on the last day of the event. But, after hearing Suma rehearse, Tina Brown, the Founder of the Women in the World Summit, decided to change the entire agenda and add Suma's song to the opening of the event as well.
It was a fitting beginning. Suma sang about her life as a Nepali girl who was sold into indentured servitude by her own family. After six years of work, a non-governmental organization rescued her, and Room to Read provided her with a scholarship and the associated tutoring, mentoring and life skills training she needed to enroll in school and reclaim her right to a dignified life. While her song broke the collective hearts of the audience when she sang, "Mother, why did you give birth to a daughter? Did you want to see me suffer?", her confidence, her clarity about how education has changed her life, and her commitment to make life better for other girls inspired us all.
Meeting Suma before the event began was a joy for me for many reasons. One reason was the simple fact that Suma not only survived her ordeal but is clearly thriving and loving her new life and identity as a "pardeko keti" or school girl. Those who have read my previous DipNote blogs on State.gov know that I began my career as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal nearly thirty years ago. At that time, I worked as a science teacher in a remote mountain village school with no electricity, water or latrine. Suma reminded me of the tiny group of girls in my village who managed to stay in school all the way to sixth grade, and who, despite long treks to and from their homes and the almost total lack of books and materials, were so thrilled to be in school that they, like Suma today, positively glowed. It was that small group of girls what also inspired me to commit the rest of my professional life to improving schools and education for girls.
In a most befitting way, Secretary Clinton, in her closing remarks at the Summit, highlighted Suma and the support that State Department's South & Central Asian Affairs (SCA) Bureau provided in changing her life and the lives of many like her. The inspiring image of Suma interacting with the Secretary of State and Oscar-award-winning actress Meryl Streep back stage is a symbol of what is possible when girls and women are empowered.
The State Department is clearly committed to ensuring that girls' education programs like Room to Read's are expanded, and we are shining a spotlight on stories like Suma's, so that others will witness the power of education and be motivated to support proven solutions that are advancing education for girls around the world.
Learn more about Suma's story and how you can help girls like her across Asia and Africa at www.roomtoread.org/meetsuma.

good job from secretary Hillary Clinton
Groucho in the U.S. writes:
How about singing a song about why you want to send women into combat? That should thrill them.
Also it seems your CFR message got garbled in transmission - it was "Stop George Clooney", not "Stop Josephy Kony". They both have "women issues".
Maureen in Massachusetts writes:
"I'm an actress and she's the real deal" -Meryl Streep in her tribute to Secretary Clinton. A very touching and thoughtful introduction. A friend sent me the link and I'm glad she did.
W.W. writes:
is there an actress who may interpretate Mrs Secretary today ?
Sumitra G. in Nepal writes:
Like Suma, still there are lots of nepalese girls in our villages who are deprived of education n hence the poor life they are passing.....i'm very much thankful to those organisation who provide the poor girl Suma a new life as she says padheko kti....hope we could provide such opportuinity to others girls of the world

Should we worry if the Red Knights took over and kept the bonds in place?
20 comments:
Ive certainly become very sceptical about the motivation of the Knights.
I think hearing the opinion from someone who actually knows what they are talking about has a calming affect!

This is a very well structured and measured post and certainly lays out in understandable terms the benefits of a RKs (supported by the fan base) purchase of the club. I agree that this sort of info needs to become more broadly available to quell some of the information/mis-information that is being perpetuated.
An excellent blog, thank you

I'd like to know more about what return the RKs want on their investment. This isn't a purely philanthropic exercise - the RKs will want dividends and be able to sell on their shares. What guarantees will there be about how much the RKs will be allowed to take in dividends and who and when they're allowed to sell shares on the open market.
- 19 April 2010 at 11:08
I also need to know what dividends are going to be paid and if they will be capped. What is confusing me the most, though, are media reports that the bid may involve further borrowings or a share issue to fans. I understand the bond needs to stay in place but borrowing more money isn't feasible, surely. Also raising, as speculated, £200m from fans is going to be extremely difficult if that's required in a short space of time. Maybe its possible over a few years.
- 19 April 2010 at 12:26
Good blog Andy. I agree with your analysis.
I'm also keen to see the investment returns for any RKs, the type of constitution proposed with respect to re-sale of shares and timescales as well as fan representation on any board structure. I'm sure this info will be made available soon enough.
The issue of raising ~£250mil from fans may also be difficult. I'd put in up to 5k, but would enough people as it is a huge amount?. There is also the problems with timing, it would take a lot to generate such an amount from fans. Maybe there might be a need for further borrowing to act as a holding stake (to top up to 250mil) that fans can buy over time. I'm just speculating here.
Regarding the main question of "will we be any better off under the Red Knights?", we should also try to anticipate the future under the Glazers if they remain. Everything they have done so far indicates to me that they will try to run United on the cheap so they can take out as much money as possible while keeping the stadium full, and United on TV. And there is no reason to think they will get bored of doing this - surely they would ideally like to be able to take £50mil+ of United's profits for decades to come?
- 19 April 2010 at 13:45
As others have said the RK's will want some return on their investment, that's to be expected as any bid surely won't be a purely philanthropic exercise.
However I think Patrick's last paragraph sums it all up really: does any right thinking Red want the glazers leeching huge amounts of cash out the business for ever and a day while leaving the debt untouched?
As has already been mooted, the RK's bid if and when it materialises must be accompanied by a co-ordinated threat or action from current season ticket holders not to renew. This must also be backed by a firm committment from the RK's to return said ST's to those who make the sacrifice. If this promise is made explicit then I think there would be huge support for a boycott.
The bid can't come soon enough for me!
Keep up the good work Andy.
- 19 April 2010 at 14:37
Some good posts here following another very intelligent blog from Andy. I would also endorse the view that the Red Knights offer a superior alternative to the Glazers yet the debt will not mysteriously dissapear overnight. So how much of a premium will the Glazers' want. They invested circa £275m in the club - supposedly their own cash. Would twice that amount suffice? Lets say the RK's need to stump up £550m how does this compare with the perceived £1.25bn market value being banded around in the media.
- 19 April 2010 at 14:41
Season Ticket holders that boycott are highly regarded in my view.
I would also encourage discounted season tickets to those that become shareholders in the organisation perhaps with a graded structure, say those investing
£1k-£2k get 10% off for 5 years
£2k-£5k 20% for 10 years
£10k-100k get 25% off season tickets for 10yrs
£100k+ get 33% off for life,
*based on published annual ST price. Would also Freeze ST's for 2 years and then peg them to inflation.
I would also like the overall players salaries capped and agents banned!
Or something of that nature....perhaps this could be added to a manifesto or something of that ilk.
- 19 April 2010 at 14:51
I think the current situation at Liverpool is interesting. United could be, maybe one or two years, away from this scenario whereby the Glazers are forced to sell the club. Do they want to take that risk?
I'm really hopeful (despite the media cyniscism) that a reasonable offer will be accepted by the Glazers. If they don't then only a boycott will do to attune their minds.
- 19 April 2010 at 15:06
In a way it's a little disappointing that the bond debt will remain in place, but so long as there's a plan to deal with it in the coming years through further share issues, further investors, refinacing at preferential rates, or whatever, then I'll be happy with that.
Short of a sugar-daddy coming in to buy us as a plaything (and I definately wouldn't want that anyway) it was always likely that we'd be paying for what the Glazers have done for some time. So let's cut this cancer out of the club and start the rebuilding. Now.
- 19 April 2010 at 17:21
For the first time in I don't know how many years, the Glazer's have admitted that the Tampa Bay Buccaneer football games in the US face a TV blackout due to NFL rules of a stadium having to be sold out.
Glazers pumped and then dumped investment in Tampa Bay...it seems like this may be a feasible scenario unfolding over in the UK.
I hate the Glazers

My chief worry is that if the Glazers start talking to the RKs; then some Russian ar Arab billionaire will offer more money and the Glazers being the Glazers accept the higher offer.
- 20 April 2010 at 07:59
Check out 'points of interest' in the corporation wiki. My rear that Glazer doesn't have the money to pay the PIKs. Someone needs to investigate them - between the authorities in the US and UK.

Thanks for all your comments everyone. Sorry for not replying sooner.
Ed: I do believe this is a philanthropic exercise although I understand people's scepticism and I may be proved wrong!
Any decent dividend on £750m takes a huge amount out of the club (£20m+) and defeats the object.
We are happy to accept that a Lerner, Mansour or Abramovich sinks millions into football clubs for nothing more than glory. It was actually true of almost all the owners of football clubs before the 1990s and is still true of most. Look at this as the assembling of a group of "mini-Abramovichs".
On the "share issue", I think the press are getting it wrong. An "offer" to the Glazers reliant on a global offer of shares isn't an offer at all and the RKs/Nomura would never think it was a realistic way to buy to the club. Any offer to fans would have to be "stage 2".
Roninja: Using the £1.2bn bandied around, the Glazers would get c.£700m from which they repay the PIKs, leaving c.£500m for them. It's a bit more complex than that because of the £98m cash on the balance sheet which may or may not have gone to pay PIKs already.....
I understand where you're coming from on the ST discounts but it can't be right for richer fans to pay less for season tickets than poorer fans. Wealthier supporters may well be asked to stump up more, but if this is our one moment to get the supporters a big stake in our club, it had to be at a level that is affordable for our core support.
Steven: you're quite right, the only saving grace of having financial owners like ours or the scousers' is that when it looks like they'll make more from selling than holding on they sell...
The Glazers will hopefully get a decent offer and have to weigh that up against:
SAF retiring sometime soon.
An ageing squad needing investment.
No excess demand for tickets.
The OFCOM Sky ruling.
Political risk.
UEFA regulation.
City pushing up the transfer market
etc, etc....
Altfish: A takeover that involved fans is clearly the best scenario but I'd take a sugar daddy over the Glazers. So if this brings one along it'll be an improvement.
Anonymous: lots of people are looking a First Allied. Watch this space. Thanks for the link.
Cheers everyone,
- 20 April 2010 at 23:06
I think what we're forgetting to ask about RK is what the management structure will be.
Can you imagine 30 fans running the club? If they were only interested in return and left the club to itself I'd be fine with it.
But if they buy the club because they care - Im not sure having fans at the top is best. Fans tend to argue, think they know more than they do and over-react to bad results. Both Abramovic and Mansour made got involved too much and made bad moves, remember that.
- 21 April 2010 at 05:18
Joshua, the idea of all the RKs wanting to run the club on a daily basis is ludicrous, it's a fantasy doomsday scenario dreamed up by the likes of Gill as a way of fooling the gullible, as a way of discrediting a 'consortium' type takeover. Don't be Gillible, it's like gullible but only worse :) Of course the RKs wont be involved in the daily running of the club. Like all businesses that have a multitude of shareholders a board will be appointed and left to get on with the running of the club. The best way for the RKs to eventually get a return on their investments is to appoint the best people possible to run the club.
- 21 April 2010 at 17:57
Try and read carefully, Anonymous.
I said RKs will want one of the two - a cash return or a say in club's activities, if not both.
If anyone thinks they will be happy to own the club with nothing in return he/she is mad.
If they want cash, then thats not very different from Glazers. Money would be sucked out of the team - in interest or dividends - doesn't matter.
Abramovic and Mansour didn't buy the club for cash and offer another alternative. They bought it to achieve some sort of personal glory ,got involved with transfers and panic-sacked managers.
Pay the owners or put it with them running the club - thats the only way possible. And neither scenario is perfect
- 21 April 2010 at 18:12
Joshua are you advocating the status quo (not the band although they must have some RK links!)
- 22 April 2010 at 18:04
In regards to comments that another bidder could trump the RKs, that can be tempered by the reality now that no investor would be likely to want to take the club over without supporters onside. The Glazers may make a profit but they also did not envisage the amount of hassle that has come their way, and whether it be protests or green and gold, no one is ever likely to mess with us again so obviously care free about us. And THAT is one thing we have achieved- had we been silent and never made a fuss oveer 5 years, then the club would go from owner to owner all as bad as each other.

Just a little less than two years after Asustek Computer and Gigabyte Technology attempted to form a joint venture to produce computer components, Asustek accused Gigabyte of defamatory claims and filed a lawsuit against its smaller rival in Taiwan court and reported about Gigabyte's actions to Fair Trade Commission of Taiwan.
At a recent event for journalists, Gigabyte Technology reportedly claimed that Asustek's energy processing unit (EPU) technology implemented on Asus mainboards to reduce power consumption of personal computers did not have substantial effect on energy saving, a fact which Asus denies. In addition, according to Asustek, Gigabyte also demonstrated a photograph of a computer component with exploded capacitors and led the audience to believe it was an Asus product to support its allegations that Asustek uses questionable quality components. However, Asus said that the image was found to be taken from a photograph of a graphics card manufactured by another vendor.
"The action of misrepresenting a third party product to be an Asus product is truly defamatory and clearly outside the realm of decent competition. […] Hence, while it is common to have competition among companies, the use of the above mentioned methods are defamatory and condemnable. Asus deeply resents Gigabyte's action(s). Asus has reported such acts to the Fair Trade Commission of Taiwan and officially filed a lawsuit against Gigabyte for those defamatory acts," a statement of Asustek Computer with Taiwan Stock Exchange reads.
The world's largest supplier of mainboards and some other computer components did not indicate its demands and whether it wants to get a compensation of any kind from Gigabyte Technology.
The competition on the market of computer components is very intensive these days due to frequent launches of new products and technologies. As a result, manufacturers of products like graphics cards and mainboards use any methods to make their products look better than competitive offerings.
Gigabyte said in a statement that it had not received any messages and could not comment on the issue.

De Jong set for medical
Newcastle are closing in on Borussia Monchengladbach striker Luuk de Jong after he headed for Tyneside to undergo a medical.
- Related Content
The Dutchman is expected to have tests on Tuesday with a view to completing an initial loan move with a view to a permanent transfer.
Gladbach confirmed the development on their official Twitter account, saying: "Luuk de Jong is not training with the Foals today. The striker is currently on his way to Newcastle for medical checks."
The news came as midfielder Yohan Cabaye prepared to undergo his medical in France after the Magpies agreed in principle to sell him to Paris St Germain on Monday evening.
De Jong is a long-term target for manager Alan Pardew, who tried to sign the 23-year-old last summer before he opted for a £12.6million switch from FC Twente to Gladbach.
However, the forward has found the going tough in the Bundesliga and is currently on the periphery of the squad.
Pardew has been desperate to strengthen his striking resources during the current window with Loic Remy only on loan, Shola Ameobi out of contract at the end of the season and Papiss Cisse having been repeatedly linked with a move away from the club this month.
Indeed, reports suggested a swap deal involving he and De Jong could be arranged, although that has been dismissed by the Magpies.
Pardew insisted on Monday that he did not expect Cisse to leave the club this week, although, given his well-founded caution over Cabaye, there can be no absolute certainty.
Should the deal go through, De Jong's first involvement could come in Saturday's Tyne-Wear derby clash with Sunderland.

One of the best things about big data is that it blows away the last vestiges of yesterday's perimeter- and endpoint-centric security paradigms. And about time: Half of all intrusions are detected at least 243 days after the attacker burrows in, says Mandiant's "Attack the Security Gap" report. Your network perimeter will be breached. Your applications will be breached. Your own employees will -- both wittingly and unwittingly -- violate your information security policies. If the rapid rise of smartphones and tablets didn't bring that into sharp focus, big data will.
Big data means terabytes, petabytes, and exabytes of data in all sorts of formats, getting transferred into many new and different software packages -- many of which treat security as a secondary or tertiary requirement. Big data also means the business wants up-to-the-hour (or more frequent) results, so forget about that iron-fisted control IT had over traditional data warehouse/business intelligence models. Any IT department that tries to hold to the security paradigms of 10, or even five, years ago will go the way of the slide-rule salesman. If you can't adapt, you aren't needed.
Security today is more difficult to navigate, it's more expensive, and there will be breaches no matter what we do. From a policy and budget perspective, the introduction of big data into an organization may be a tipping point for full adoption of modern security practices. It's time to get started. (S7940614)

Only open since Summer 2008, the Belgian Beer Café has been a hit from the off. A proper themed pub rather than just another bar, with excellent beers, proper Belgian artefacts as decoration, and great food (try a big pot of moules marinières, or their superb steak and frites). There's also a lovely terrace overlooking the Creek and speedy service too.
The mixed clientele of after-work people, hotel guests and locals is very relaxed. The emphasis on good beer means that novices are also well catered for, as the staff at the Belgian Beer Café are knowledgeable and the menu offers a decent write-up for each beer. Ideal for beer connoisseurs.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 16, 2011) – After a 2011 season of ups and downs and more ups, April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) has been named USA Volleyball's Beach Female Athlete of the Year.
Ross and partner Jen Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) are ranked second in the USA Volleyball Beach National Rankings (behind Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh). They are also second among U.S. women's teams and fourth overall on the FIVB Olympic rankings, which are being used to determine the two beach pairings that will compete at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
The pair finished fourth on the FIVB Swatch World Tour in 2011, with one gold medal (Stavanger, Norway), three silver (Shanghai, China; Stare Jablonki, Poland and Phuket, Thailand) and three bronze (Brasilia, Brazil; Myslowice, Poland and Beijing, China).
Ross, 29, and Kessy also won the silver medal at the FIVB Beach Volleyball International in London, a test event for the 2012 Olympic Games.
The 6-foot-1 Ross was named the Best Hitter and Best Server on the FIVB Tour. The Best Hitter award was voted on by players, coaches, referees and officials while the serving recognition was determined by her top serve speed of 85 kilometers per hour recorded during this year's season-ending event in Phuket.
Ross said the highlight of her season was the victory in Stavanger; but she added that she and Kessy also gained a lot from losing in the early rounds of their first three events of the year and battling back to medal in two out of three.
"That was definitely a growth period for me and Jen," Ross said. "We now know the will to win can get us to the podium. Now that I've had time to look back on it, I think it was a highlight.
"Looking back overall, we were happy with our season."
Ross and Kessy had to ride out some bad finishes as well, including a 17th in Klagenfurt, Austria, and had to miss the Moscow Grand Slam after Kessy suffered a sprained ankle.
"It was a tough time for our team," Ross said. "We were fighting through her ankle sprain, both mentally and physically."
The two came back domestically at the end of the year, winning the season-ending Jose Cuervo Beach Volleyball Tour event in Hermosa Beach and finishing third in Miami. They also won the National Volleyball League event in Miami and finished third at the U.S. Open of Beach Volleyball in Cincinnati.
Ross and Kessy have enjoyed some perks from their status as 2012 Olympic hopefuls, signing on as ambassadors for Ralph Lauren Corporation, an official outfitter of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams for London 2012. They also took part in a media day put on by Olympic broadcaster NBC in November in Los Angeles.
"That was super fun," Ross said. "It was so fast-paced. We got to do the E! News interview with Bruce Jenner, NBC Nightly News and the photo shoot."
But after just missing out on making the 2008 Olympic Team that competed in Beijing, Ross knows that she and Kessy cannot be complacent in 2012. The pair still needs to secure more FIVB ranking points to secure a trip to London.
"We're not sure exactly what events we'll be doing yet," Ross said. "We're going to play it by ear as the season goes along. We're not assuming that we're definitely going. We still have to take care of a lot of business. But we're happy with where we are."

Union College recently presented four local professionals with Excellence in Education Awards, a program launched in 2011 that recognizes outstanding careers in Knox County.
Winners this year represent the program's second class of recipients. They include Rebecca Hubbard of Central Elementary School; Brandon Simpson of Barbourville High School; Jeff Frost of Jesse D. Lay Elementary School; and Lana Sowders of Knox Central Elementary School. Each recipient was chosen based on a strict set of criteria after finalists were selected from a large pool of nominees. Winners are active teachers and administrators who have made significant contributions to the teaching profession.
Hubbard, a special education teacher with Central Elementary, received the Dr. Mary Alice Lay Teacher—Leader Award.She works with collaborating classroom teachers to modify lessons and plans to provide appropriate accommodations for her identified students. She has been described as an effective and positive teacher who is consistently pleasant, tackling all assignments with dedication and attention to detail. Extremely competent when dealing with special education laws and procedures, Hubbard takes extra care in meeting the educational needs of each child. Additionally, she has served as a leader in the Knox County school district by providing training to staff about special education topics such as autism and is a member and team leader of the autism cadre for Knox County Schools.
Hubbard is also recognized for her dedication to other projects in the school system. She has served as a First Priority leader for over six years and as an Odyssey of the Mind coach from 2003-2008. Outside the classroom, Hubbard is a youth leader at her church and a member of the Women's Missionary Union. According to one of the many submitted recommendations, "She reaches out to the children at both school and church. She has not only a strong work ethic, but she has strong moral and ethical values. The students in any school where she works benefit from her dedication to the students of Knox County."
Simpson, who also earned the Dr. Mary Alice Lay Teacher-Leader Award, instructs English and has served Barbourville City Schools in various other capacities. During his tenure, he has served as head coach of the high school varsity softball team for eight years and assistant coach for one year; as the assistant coach for the varsity girls basketball team for two years; as head coach of the 5-8 grade girls basketball team for four years; and assistant coach for the 5– 8 grade boys basketball team for one year. Additionally, he has served as moderator, judge and composition scorer for the elementary, middle and high school academic teams for eight years; coordinated numerous fundraising activities to help fund Barbourville High School girls sports programs; and served as coordinator of the Barbourville Elementary Intramural K-4 Basketball League for one year.
Simpson, who is often praised for his impressive work ethic, is recognized as a teacher with superior content knowledge who solidly manages his classroom. He also works well with his colleagues. His students enjoy his classroom atmosphere and are eager to accomplish the learning targets he sets for them. Simpson guides students both inside and outside of the classroom, and his students deeply respect him as an authority figure while also holding him in high regard as a friend. "One of the hardest lessons for me as a teacher was the realization that some students, no matter how hard you try, may not be successful, but that absolutely cannot hinder a teacher from trying his or her best to ensure that students have every opportunity to succeed," Simpson said.
Frost, principal of Jesse D. Lay Elementary, was chosen to receive the Dr. Warren Robbins Educational Leadership Award. His long list of duties includes providing instructional leadership; serving as chair of the site-based council; designing and implementing school policy; preparing and managing multiple budgets and grants; creating the school handbook; designing and coordinating schedules; collaborating with the central office, parents, teachers and the community; and providing professional development.
From 1997-2006, Frost was a mathematics and science teacher for grades five through eight. He also served as instructional team leader; coordinated graduation; served as a site-based council member; was the parent-teacher organization treasurer; served on the text book committee; chaired the Title IX Committee; coordinated the St. Jude's Math-a-thon; coordinated the science fair and athletic banquet; served as an Odyssey of the Mind coach; was a campus coach for First Priority; and coached 5 and 6 grade basketball. He has also served as the Red Bird Missionary Conference youth facilitator; as the minister to students at the Barbourville First United Methodist Church and as a Union College Upward Bound project tutor/counselor and instructor.
According to a quote taken from Frost's anonymous nomination form, "… (Frost) has maintained his caring and compassionate manner in everything that he does. He quietly does his job without fanfare, seeking only to do what is right in relation to the job at hand. He understands that teaching is not an 8:00 to 3:00 job; that most of the real work takes place after the school day is over, and he has continued to work to help make his school a success."
Alsoselected to receive the Dr. Warren Robbins Educational Leadership Award is Sowders, who is currently the assistant principal at Knox Central Elementary School. During her career, she has served as a classroom teacher, cheerleading coach, history department chair and curriculum coach. She has also served on the following committees: the budget committee, curriculum committee, district professional develop committee, and on the site-based council. She has worked as a tutor and mentored teachers for early involvement as well as student teachers. She has been a KTIP resource teacher and KTIP principal. She attends Immanuel Baptist Church and teaches children's church.
Sowders was the first teacher in Knox County to be a National Board Certified Teacher (1999 and renewed in 2009). She received the Campbellsville Excellence in Teaching award in 2000; was included in Who's Who Among America's Teacher; was a presenter for National High Schools that Work Conference, the KASA Conference—Freshman School within a School, and Silver and Strong. She is a ten- time Green Leaf Award Winner, an honor presented by the Knox Central top 25 students; served as a presenter for the Alpha Gamma State Workshop; received the 2004 Class Nobel Educator of Distinction; received the Governor's Scholar Outstanding Educator Award as well as the DAR History Teacher of the Year Award.
In her current position at Knox Central High School, Sowders is well respected by the faculty and her peers. She works with teachers on classroom management, curriculum development and professional growth. She is willing to mentor new teachers and routinely evaluates the effectiveness of existing procedures and assessment practices. Even though she is no longer in the classroom, Sowderes never stops giving students valuable life lessons and is very dedicated to student achievement. She sees potential in every student and works endlessly to ensure that they have a learning experience that leads to success. She personally knows the value of higher education and serves as an example that as educators, we never stop learning.
The Excellence in Education Awardsrecognize teachers and administrators who follow the examples set by the instructors for whom the awards are named. Union College distinguished professors Dr. Warren Robbins and Dr. Mary Alice Lay are both iconic in representing Union's legacy of supporting educational excellence.
Robbins, who joined Union's faculty in 1957, first served as a teacher, principal and a supervisor in the Bell County School System. From 1954-1957, he was supervisor in a Ford Foundation pilot program at Berea College to improve education in rural Kentucky. His first positions at Union included associate professor of education and director of student teachers. He later became department head, vice president of graduate affairs, professor of education, dean of graduate studies, and dean of faculty. Robbins retired from Union in 1990 from the position of dean of graduate studies program and then served as professor emeritus of education.
Lay came to Union in 1961 as instructor of home economics after receiving bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Kentucky. She continued her graduate studies through a National Science Fellowship in Nutrition at the University of South Dakota and through travel study in Europe via Indiana State University. She was promoted to assistant professor in 1969, the same year she was granted tenure. From 1978-1983 she stepped aside from her faculty duties to become Union's director of alumni affairs. During this time, she completed another graduate program, receiving her Rank I certificate from Union in 1980. She returned to the faculty ranks and has served as associate professor of education from 1985 to the present.
The 2012 nominations included teachers and administrators from the Knox County and Barbourville Independent School Districts and St. Camillus Academy. Each nominee must have completed a minimum of five full years of teaching experience and be currently serving in a school or an administrative position.
Fellow educators, students, parents and community members issued nominations, which were not limited to Union College alumni. A committee composed of impartial educators and community members from the region and beyond made up the selection committee.
The selection committee was pleased to note an impressive number of nominees with inspiring references and educational experiences. Because all nominees were examples of excellence, the final selection process was difficult.
Union College is a private liberal arts college related to The United Methodist Church and located in Barbourville, Ky.

A virtual tour in architecture is something that technological advances have contributed to this beautiful art.
In past times, an architect had to express the project through drawings and sketches. The power of imagination, the ability to design and draw were the main keys to transmit how people could have imagined a project not yet built.
Since the computer became a work tool for architects, there was an evolution of how to present projects. What caught the most attention in new architects was the ability to create 3D architectural plants. These new technological advances have progressed to the point of being able to make photorealism models in 3D and virtual architecture tours.
Virtual tours are very useful tools for architects, because it exposes the project as it will become; it gives you a real view of solar orientation depending on where your terrain is, the materials you would like to use, desired interior and exterior colors and even furniture.
Now a days modern constructions are using this type of technology as a way of showing customers how their project will be; that's why making a virtual tour is a good investment for any kind of project because in a long term it becomes cheaper for them due to that they will know how their project will come out at the end; and they will see if the design meets their expectancies.
Having a virtual tour helps the project to save time; because with it you will have your project completely defined.
If you would like to have a virtual tour of your project contact us by sending us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or by leaving us your information here and we´ll be glad to contact you.

Toyota has announced that it will be recalling around 550,000 vehicles globally for a potentially faulty crank shaft pulley.
Toyota NZ has advised that just under 1,000 Toyota and Lexus vehicles are affected by the precautionary engine component recall.
Toyota New Zealand General Manager Customer Services, Spencer Morris, says the affected part is the crankshaft pulley used on the 3 litre V6 1MZ-FE engine and 3.3 litre V6 3MZ-FE engine used in some 2004/2005 Toyota Camry, Highlander, Harrier, and Estima models. This engine was also used in the Lexus RX range during the same years.
The pulley drives the belt which operates the power steering, alternator and air conditioner. In rare cases, the inner and outer pulley parts may start to separate. If left unchecked, the pulley may eventually stop driving the belt, leading to an increase in steering effort.
Drivers may first notice an unusual noise, or the illumination of the red battery charge warning light. Continue reading "Toyota recalling 550,000 vehicles worldwide – 990 in NZ" »

Fun Facts
Chase Field is located in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, bounded by Jefferson Street on the North, Fourth Street on the West and Seventh Street on the East. The Ballpark was designed by Ellerbe Becket and incorporates the traditional look of red brick and green structural steel in a setting that blends into its surroundings. Many of the design details are borrowed from the Warehouse District that surrounds the Ballpark.
The project was managed by Huber, Hunt, & Nichols, Inc. and ground was broken for construction of Chase Field on November 16, 1995, beginning the 28 month and approximately $370 million dollar project.
The retractable roof uses a pair of 200 horsepower motors to open and close the roof in slightly less than five minutes, utilizing more than four miles of cable strung through a pulley system. Each half of the roof consists of three moveable trusses which telescope over a fixed end truss. The east and west sides of the roof can operate in unison or independently. Either side of the roof can be opened to any position in order to maximize sunlight on the turf and minimize it on the interior steel and concrete.
View construction images:
The Ballpark is cooled using an 8,000 ton cooling system that incorporates air handlers and a large cooling tower on the south side of the Ballpark. It is designed to bring down the temperature by 30 degrees in three hours and is configured to deliver cool air only where it is needed.
The seating capacity of Chase Field is very versatile, it ranges from 48,500 for Arizona Diamondback baseball games to approximately 53,000 for a major concert with seating on the field. There are 66 luxury suites, 6 party suites, 500 restaurant seats, and a picnic area that seats 550.
The field is a natural grass playing surface which rests on a bed of sand over gravel, into which drainage pipes have been installed. It receives sunlight at every opportunity, normally 6 to 8 hours per day during baseball season. Occasionally, some areas of the field receive too little sunlight and large growth lights are needed to provide substitute lighting.
The Pool Party is located next to the outfield wall in right-center field. The Pavilion gives about 35 guests the opportunity to see the Diamondbacks play while enjoying a swimming pool, hot tub, fountains, catering and other amenities. When any Diamondback player hits a home run, water cannons will fire streams of water 30 to 35 feet into the air.
Visitors of Chase Field have a wide variety of food and beverage choices. Sliders restaurant is located in the plaza on the west side of the Ballpark along Fourth Street and TGI Friday's Front Row is located inside the Ballpark with it's main entrance on the north side of the Ballpark. During Baseball games and District events there are a quarter mile of traditional and specialty concession stands serving everything from hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza to fresh fruits and vegetables.
Chase Field has a 1,500 car parking garage attached on the south side of the Ballpark. On game days the garage provides parking for the Suite level ticket holders and during District Events it provides parking to attendees on a first come first serve basis. The garage is also open daily for visitors to the downtown area.

The 36 first-year medical students who took part in a surgery simulation exercise offered by the department of orthopaedic surgery, in conjunction with Einstein's Orthopaedic Surgery Interest Group (OSIG), will never look at a grapefruit the same again.
Recently, in a conference room on the eleventh floor of 1250 Waters Place, the students gathered around a table as Dr. I. Martin Levy, professor of clinical orthopaedic surgery at Einstein and attending orthopaedic surgeon at Montefiore, discussed arthroscopy with them. Dr. Levy described how this form of surgery has evolved from a diagnostic tool when it was introduced in the 1970s to a sophisticated surgical tool that is even being used for reconstructive surgery today.
He showed the students pictures of early instruments and discussed how the telescopes used in arthroscopic surgery have evolved. "In the days of the dinosaurs when I started, we worked with a three-pound camera," he said. "They now weigh just ounces."
As he prepared the students for their surgery simulation exercise he reminded them, "With this kind of surgery, you're not looking at what you're operating on. You're working off the field, using triangulation to process what you see on the monitor and determine what you need to do."
He and chief resident for orthopaedic surgery, Dr. Jonathan Krystal, then took six of the students across the hall where the grapefruits came into play. Three of the large citrus fruit had been prepped for surgery, waiting to have their seeds removed arthroscopically.
The two surgeons made the initial incisions on each fruit—one for inserting the endoscopic instrument with its tiny, nearly weightless camera, and the other for inserting the grasping tool that the students would use to remove seeds from their juicy orb.
"Find the pits, take 'em out and celebrate wildly," instructed Dr. Levy.
He added, "It's a fairly difficult skill to master, because you need to be able to put the instrument in the right place while holding the camera steady. Orienting yourself and coordinating your handwork in a space that's no more than five millimeters takes practice. Working with a grapefruit puts you into that kind of a confined area, and the multitude of seeds offers lots of opportunities to work with the tools."
As students completed their session with the grapefruit, they conferred over how many seeds each had gotten. "I got three," said Jacob Taylor, "but I was only able to get two of them all of the way out. Still, it felt great to do even those. You get a real sense of accomplishment."
"The most difficult part was orienting your movements to what you saw on the screen," added classmate Hope Williams, to agreement from all the students from their group.
"Our interest group seeks to provide ways that students can learn about and experience different aspects of orthopaedic surgery, said Stephen Sylvia, president of OSIG. "This experience gave us a real feel for a skill that's particularly important for those interested in orthopaedics to master."
"This type of surgery isn't for everyone," noted Dr. Levy. "But not being able to master the technique doesn't rule out surgery as a career path. Open surgery involves a different set of skills, for example. An exercise like this allows students and residents to experience a particular tool skill and work at mastering it."

The (Stupid) Things We Do For Music
January 3, 2008. Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: background story, briefcase, facial hair, forearms, giant metal, hudson river, instrument cables, jason lindner, mark guiliana, metal case, nypd, panagiotis, penchant, performance studio, public transportation, Riff, self preservation, subway entrance, wind chill, wind shear, zed
Sometimes, but not often, my penchant for thrift outweighs my basic need for self-preservation. Today was a perfect example.
Pianist Jason Lindner is visiting the WBGO performance studio this afternoon to record a session with his Now vs. Now band (Avishai Cohen, Panagiotis Andreou, Mark Guiliana, and Baba Israel). This is their first studio recording. Everyone but the drummer is using electronic processing, which means we need direct boxes to record them. Seven of them. WBGO owns two, and one is broken. That's the background story.
It's 14 degrees in New York this morning, with a wind chill near zero. Zed. Nil. Cold enough to freeze the breath from my nose onto my facial hair.
We typically rent whatever instrument equipment (like direct boxes and extra instrument cables) from Carroll Music. They're at 625 55th Street, between 11th Avenue and the Hudson River. Which is nowhere near public transportation. So after a nice trek from Columbus Circle, I was hurting from the wind shear coming off the Hudson. I arrive, only to pick up a giant metal case with our equipment weighing approximately 45 pounds. No wheels. Sweet.
After I schlepp everything back 58th Street, I walk into the subway entrance. I wobble past the NYPD as they're checking some poor guy's briefcase (but never consider stopping me, a very large man in black with a sizable case that I'm clearly struggling to tote).
Long story short. I'm in Newark. I saved 150 bucks in cartage costs. Well, 75 bucks so far. And I have some killer forearms now.
Hope the music's good!

Hi Bellas,
I'm back with another tutorial. This is the look I would have worn for NYE if I didn't forget my MAC Reflects Gold Glitter at home, lol. This look is inspired by pictures of makeup on J-Lo and Kim Kardashian - it's nude and smokey at the same time. This tutorial is great for a night out, makes you feel super sexy and glam!
Click here for more!
Check out the video!
The key to this look is to tie in the peachy/tan element everywhere - I used MAC Coppertone blush on both my cheeks and eyes and used a peachy gloss on the lips. This gives a super glowy effect a la Jennifer Lopez. I also did a spiffy lip liner trick that I learned on PixiWoo's channel...notice how my lips look plumped!
The final look!
Here's What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise mentioned)
Coppertone Blush
Cover FX Big Cover Kit in B
Blunt Blush
Ben Nye Banana Powder
Fun N Games Beauty Powder Blush
Soft N Gentle MSF
Skindinavia 10 Years Younger Makeup Finish Spray
Steelo Eyeshadow Base in Medium
MUFE Aqua Cream in #13
All That Glitters e/s
Coppertone blush
Glamour Check e/s
NARS mekong e/s
Wet N Wild Vanity Palette - cream highlight color

It's easy to let our good intentions for healthy eating get out of control during the holiday season, but if you have diabetes, maintaining self-control while everyone else is indulging in candy and cookies can be even more difficult.
If you have diabetes, however, the holiday season doesn't have to be a complete letdown. You can still enjoy all the fun, and, as long as you keep a few things in mind, managing diabetes shouldn't set back your holiday festivities at all.
Dinner Parties and Other Food-Heavy Fun
If you have plans to hit up a holiday party, avoid the heavy caloric intake by eating a healthy snack prior to arrival in order to avoid overeating once you get there. Don't be afraid to inquire about what will be served, and offer to bring something that fits your health needs to share with everyone. Diabetics are particularly concerned about carbohydrates, so it's easy to overcompensate with extra protein, but too much red meat can have different unhealthy, adverse effects. Opt instead for chicken, turkey or fish.
Buffets are the life of many parties, so keep things under control with small portions, low-calorie drinks and healthy options. Avoid anything that is soaked in sauces, glazes or dressings, and keep salt-heavy items away from your plate. Casseroles and anything breaded may be especially high in calories. Though it may be tempting to taste a little bit of everything, pick just a few things that you really want to eat.
Work It Out
We can all probably do with adding a few extra workouts into our schedules over the holidays, and this is also true for diabetics. People with type 2 diabetes are often on medications that can't be adjusted to food intake, but they need to manage the impact of food on blood sugar levels and overall weight. To avoid gaining weight during the holiday season, people with type 2 diabetes may want to work in a little extra exercise.
Keep a Routine
If you'll be traveling, check your sugar levels often because a change in routine can throw your body off. Carry any medications (and bring extra supplies) you need with you when you travel, and make sure everything is properly labeled and in original packaging, especially if you'll be flying. Because healthy food might not be handy when you need it, always keep plenty of snacks in pre-measured serving sizes by your side if you need something to eat in a pinch. If you'll be changing time zones, keep this time change in mind to keep your routine consistent.
Focus on the Important Stuff
Don't mourn the fact that you can't eat plates packed with sugar and salt. The holidays are about spending time with loved ones, and though a lot of that bonding time happens over food, it's not about the food. Take the initiative to organize your own holiday get together that focuses on something else such as reading favorite holiday books around the fireplace or going ice skating at the local park. Memories are built on special moments, not packed cookie jars.

Southern golf teams loaded again
Another state individual champion could be in works
Repeating the feat of Jacob Allenback may not be too far-fetched.
Allenback, a senior at Centennial High School, became only the fourth Pueblo state medalist when he captured the 2012 Class 4A boys golf individual title last fall in Montrose.
Allenback joined Jeff Armstrong of Centennial (1974-75), John Buffalo of Pueblo County (1998) and Zach Zaremba of Pueblo West (2006) as Pueblo state champions.
Another state champion could be on the horizon . . . as early as this season.
That's because no less than three returning players from the 2012 field finished among the top 10 at the state meet, including Pueblo West's Glenn Workman (3rd), South's Chase Federico (5th) and South's Taylor Rodriguez (9th).
Workman, a senior, is the preseason favorite to claim the South-Central League title and make a run at state hardware. He was plenty busy over the summer, qualifying and playing in the Callaway Junior World Championships in San Diego and was one of four Colorado players to represent the state in the Junior America's Cup in Maui.
Workman gives credit to the Pueblo golf community for his success.
"Everyone that plays golf in Pueblo really loves the game," he said. "The reason we had four top 10 players at state is that we are community oriented. All of us work hard at our game and we get great support."
As for the upcoming season, Workman is excited about the prospects.
"I just want to try and do my best. Keep working," he said. "I'm hoping to have a good season. Some great competition has left and that opens the door. That doesn't mean the competition isn't there anymore. I've set little goals to achieve what I want to do this year."
Workman hopes to take the experience from his summer travels into the prep season.
"The experience alone has been amazing," he said. "Being able to play at Torrey Pines (San Diego) and Hawaii, it's really been exciting to be able to accomplish that.
"I've learned a lot about my game and the game. That sets the standard of what I expect this coming season."
Not only did Allenback bring hardware back to Pueblo, but so did the South boys, who return two of those players off the state championship team — Rodriguez, a junior, and Federico, a sophomore.
A couple of other players should make some noise after qualifying for state a year ago — Centennial senior Justin Allenback and Central senior Isaiah Trujillo.

Bachelor males roost apart from females. Males residing with female groups stay for two or more reproductive seasons. Female Noctilio leporinus bear a single young each pregnancy. This appears to form the basis of a polygynous social organization.
This species tends to have pregnancies occuring from September until January, and lactation is first seen in November and continues until April. This is a general pattern, however, and it can vary with geographical location. Reproduction corresponds to seasons of greatest food availability.
Young bats don't leave the roost for their first attempts at sustained flight until nearly adult size. At that time they are slightly less than one month of age and the parents have remained at the roost throughout. This suggests a high degree of bi-parental care which may be a characteristic of this species.

IntroductionsPosted Monday, March 15, 2010, at 4:19 PM
This is an informal introduction of myself to you, who I hope will become a consistent reader of my column in the years ahead. Many of you either know me as I am now or sometime in the past in my youth or middle age. I am looking forward to gaining lots of new friends through these writings.
I am Kathleen Dover (Grubbs). I am a lifelong resident of Dexter other than a few years I lived in St. Charles and Bbirmingham, Alabama.
The forthcoming columns will involve the telling of something that has happened to me or those around me, or something that I feel or believe. Some entries will be funny to make you laugh with me, or you might even laugh at me. Either way, it's okay.
Some submissions will hopefully will let you think about things in your life, or help you see blessings in your life. Some will be spiritual in nature, not forceful, just something that may help you know that you are not here alone. Some will be tributes to the heros and heroines who have touched my life. One of those people could be you. Whatever the subject, my hope is that you will find whatever you may need for that particular moment as you read my column.
I have been trying to come up with names for my column. Since I am known by several names it has not been easy. Of course, I am Kathleen to most of my family and friends. Some have called me Kathy, but to my sister and nieces and nephews I am known as Dida or aunt Dida. That is because my sister, Linda, could not say "sister" when she was learning to talk so it came out as "Dida." Don't ask me how you get Dida out of sister. One of the children in my mother's care when I was a teenager thought she was saying "dead eye", therefore, that was her name for me.
Then of course I became "mom." I still look around when I am in public and I hear someone calling for mom. I have even been known to answer when I hear "mom." The children that grew up with my children and spent most of their time at our home called me "mom" and still do. I count tht as a tribute. then I became "mema" to my grandchildren. What a special name to be called. Now I am known as "mema" by a little girl that is my great-granddaughter! How wonderful. After reading my articles, some of you may even come up with a name for me!! Hopefully they will also be good and easy on my ear.
Finally. I have decided on a name for my column. It will be called "Kathleen's Korner." When you are looking through the Daily Statesman on the first and third Sundays of the month, join me for a couple minutes. I'll be somewhere in a "Korner."

Kathleen is a resident of Dexter. She was born in Indiana, but her parents moved their family back to the Dexter area when she was three. Other than three years she and her husband, Collin, lived in St. Charles, Mo. and ten years in Birmingham, Alabama, she has spent her life in Dexter. As you can tell, Kathleen is a people person and believes in giving credit to whom credit is due. Thus, the reason for her hero/heroine column every other week in Kathleen's Korner. As you can tell, she also like to have fun, most of the time at her own expense. Kathleen (Grubbs) is a 1964 graduate of Dexter High School and invites her friends to her "Korner."
