If you're visiting Subway late at night, your money's no good — at least not your cash.
Most of the sandwich chain's locations in the St. John's area don't accept cash after 10 p.m. in an effort to prevent theft. Only debit cards and credit cards are accepted for payment until locations reopen in the morning.
Todd Petten, manager of the Water Street Subway near Clift's-Baird's Cove, said it was a directive from the local head office for security reasons.
"It's for all of our Subway locations — not just for downtown, but in Paradise and Mount Pearl," he said, adding that the policy was implemented at least a year and a half ago due to an increasing number of robberies.
In fact, Statistics Canada's most recent crime statistics suggest robbery in St. John's is declining, with a drop of 43 per cent in 2011 over the year before; however, 2011 also saw several high-profile robberies in the area, including a robbery of a Paradise Subway, in which the thief used a crowbar.
Petten added that the Subway he manages hasn't been robbed, and so far the late-night cash-free policy hasn't been a problem for customers.
"A lot of our customers are regular, and they know our policies."
The other Water Street Subway, near George Street, is the exception to the late-night cash-free policy, according to that location's manager, Florence Li.
"We still accept cash after 10 p.m. here," she said.
"This one is a special one because we're close to downtown, and we're open 24 hours, and it's for business reasons. A lot of people go downtown, (and) they don't have a (debit) card with them; they just have cash."
Li referred further inquiries to Susan Gallant, director of relations for the Butler Group, which operates the area's Subways, but Gallant did not return messages requesting comment.
Gaylynne Lambert, marketing and events co-ordinator for the
St. John's Downtown Development Commission, said she isn't aware of any other businesses downtown turning away cash late at night.
"It's the first I've heard of it," she said. "It's probably a smart move for them, since they have so many locations and they are open late, many of them."
And for anyone wondering if stores are legally required to accept legal tender, the Bank of Canada's Monique LeBlanc says they're not; both parties have to agree on a method of payment in a transaction, so a store doesn't have to accept cash if it decides not to for any reason.
"It's a private agreement between the buyer and the seller. There's no law that requires anyone to accept bank notes or any other form of payment," said LeBlanc, the bank's senior regional representative, currency, in Atlantic Canada. "Really, it comes down to a customer service issue. Retailers need to make the decisions and take the precautions that work best for them."

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
BAY SPRINGS – Most water-going vessels traveling from the North down to the Gulf of Mexico would be advised to follow the mighty Mississippi River.
Romantic notions about Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer aside, there's a bottom-line reason: The swift current saves on fuel costs.
But that current serves as a barrier for commercial and recreational vehicles that start in the South.
"Generally, they go down the Mississippi, then go back up the Tenn-Tom Waterway. That's how we get them," said Justin Murphree operations site manager for Jamie Whitten Lock and Dam and three others run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.
Originally known as Bay Springs Lock and Dam, the Whitten site near Belmont gets about 1,200 commercial users every year. That doesn't include the yachts, fishing boats and canoes that take the 84-foot rise or drop at the lock, depending on the destination.
"It's whoever gets here first, that's who we let through first," Murphree said. "But commercial traffic gets priority over recreational traffic."
According to tenntom.org, a French explorer told King Louis XV in the 1700s that the Tennessee and Tombigbee rivers should be connected. The actual work waited until the 20th century, and there's no record of the French providing any financial support.
After 12 years, construction on the Tenn-Tom Waterway finished in 1984. The Whitten site was responsible for $75 million of the nearly $2 billion total project cost.
"We get coal. We get a lot of coal. We get wood chips," said Greg Enlow, lockmaster at Whitten. "We don't get the long logs like we used to. Rocks. Gas. Oil. Fertilizer. We've had corn and soybeans go through here. We have manufactured products go through here."
Whitten operators also see fancy yachts, fishing boats, canoes and kayaks. Every so often, a homemade boat needs the lock's services.
Country singer Barbara Mandrell's boat has waited the 45 minutes to an hour to get through the lock.
A guy with a boat registered in the Cayman Islands brought his multimillion-dollar yacht, along with a 20-person crew.
Owners of wheeled recreational vehicles, the kind usually found on the road, have been known to ride barges from Mobile to Chattanooga.
A water gypsy in a vessel called "The Beluga" used to make regular trips through Northeast Mississippi waters, too.
"He would sharpen knives for people. They'd be sharp, too," Enlow said. "That's how he lived. You have all kinds of people."
Changing times
More people used to visit Whitten. Until the early 2000s, vistors could arrive unannounced and tour the lock and dam that creates Bay Springs Lake.
"We always had people here. It sometimes got crazy," Enlow said. "We had this woman show up buck naked one time, but you don't want to put that in the newspaper."
After some prodding, he said, "All right, I guess you could. She said she was on a boat and swam to shore, but there were holes in her story. Her cigarettes were dry, for one thing."
Those free-wheelin' days are mostly in the past. Whitten and the other locks are considered strategic sites, valuable to the nation's economic interests.
"We didn't have a fence before 9/11," Murphree said.
School groups, Boy Scout troops and others can schedule tours in advance by calling (662) 423-1287.
For students who can't get to the waterway, the waterway might come to them, in a manner of speaking.
The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway has teamed up with the Appalachian Regional Commission and the Mississippi Department of Transportation to provide materials to schools. The goal is to use the waterway and its locks and dams as practial ways to teach science, technology, engineering and math concepts. Educators can find out more about those projects by calling (662) 328-8936.
Locks like Whitten are marvels of engineering.
"We had engineers from China come here and tour this lock to see what it would take to build locks on their river system," Enlow said.
There's plenty to learn for those interested.
"People think we use pumps, but we do not," Murphree said. "It's all gravity."
To increase the water level, 45 million gallons spill in from Bay Springs Lake. That water shoots down the canal for southbound vessels.
"When they dump the lock, it will raise the water level a couple of feet," Murphree said.
A horn blows to let people know when the water is coming, but it can be a surprise. Enlow once saw a fisherman knocked over by the surge, but he got back up again.
"It happens," Enlow said, shrugging.
Whitten is scheduled for a maintenance closure in 2014. Commercial towing companies will be notified, and information will be published in yachting magazines.
"We do that to check the gates and valves," Murphree said. "It could be 10 to 14 days. Sometimes 30 days, depending on what you do."
That might encourage vessel operators to get in touch with their inner Huck Finn while traveling up the Mississippi River.
It would be only fitting. The waterway was crucial to national commerce when Mississippi River water levels hit record lows in 1988.
"We were a godsend," Enlow said. "We locked more tonnage in six weeks than we locked the previous year."
That French explorer who suggested connecting the Tennessee and Tombigbee rviers more than 200 years earlier must have seemed like a genius.

There are two Gigaminxes on the market: Cube4You and MF8. So what's the difference? MF8 Gigaminx turns better, but costs $25 more. It also comes with the stickers unapplied... unlike this, which has the stickers already on it. This puzzle can pop pieces, so don't play with it over a grate. And yes, it's basically a 5x5x5 Megaminx. However, it has no edge parity. Other 5-layer puzzles include this, the 5x5x5 cube, and the Professor Pyraminx. All are excellent updates on more simple puzzles.

This puzzle is fun, but sometimes is very frustrating. It turns pretty well with two layers, but not as well with one layer. This is a great puzzle to get, but I would only recommend it if you know how to solve a megaminx.

"A challenge often associated with high-growth industries is the friction created between organizations that want to innovate quickly, and regulators that want to ensure public safety is utmost at all times. We are seeing this with the recent emergence of the Chinese biotech and biopharmaceutical industries, who are innovating amidst newly defined regulatory processes. Chinese authorities are looking to develop these nascent domestic industries, and are looking to European and American models to help shape their own," says Dr Martina Bielefeld Sevigny, VP & GM of PerkinElmer Life Sciences Technology, China.
And this is where China's development zones have a strategic advantage. These zones are authorized to streamline the entire approval procedure pipeline. For example, TEDA is sanctioned to expedite its investment partners' sample testing, customs inspections and quarantine, as well as arranging tariff exemptions for equipment imports. While this does not mean drug approval is easier, as standards are still extremely strict, it does mean that unnecessary delays and bureaucratic barriers do not interfere with innovation.

These films are definatly some of my favorite. I love how they were written, acted, and filmed. I especially love Marlon Brando's acting in the first film. Such a classic character. James Caan was very good too. I though the second film was great with it's development of Michael and the story of Vito Corleone. And I loved Part III because of its continuity of the first two films and the continuing story of Michael and his family.
Truely excellent movies.

|Great Lakes Steelhead & Salmon Amazing "Inland ocean" fisheries
|Topic Review (Newest First)
"Immediate Release" never heard of that one. I have about 30 corporate lawyers I could ask for an interpreation of this, but none of them are fly fisherman or fishery litgators as far as I know.
The Umpqua regs I believe are going after the lead core lines some fellows use out west in their fast deep narrow white water and pools. Normal sink tip and sinking fly lines I believe are acceptable.
Fred Evans who lives near the Umpqua on the Rogue can advise on this. He is our resident SW Oregon steelhead spey fly fishing subject matter expert.
Umpqua Restrictions
When they are talking about "no metal core lines", would that include the sink tips and full sinking fly lines that we use? Or, would that be specifically something like an LC-13?
Some of the regs that they can come up with these days are "out of control".
I am currently trying to get an interpretation of "immediate release" in our regs. Basically, if you caught a fish in a C&R area you break the law if you take a measurement, a picture, or a weight. I toil over this reg all the time since that is pretty much what I fish for is a "picture" (as do most of the people I know). I can understand that this is designed to lessen fish mortality but if you look closely, every fish picture I have ever taken has water dripping off the fish. What happens if I catch one of those world records I've been chasing?
Here are the new restrictions for the N. Umpqua fly fishing section from Oregon fishing regs. Gotta love this internet 5 years ago it would have taken a week or more to get the regs via mail from the DNR"
Looks like you can use a spinning or bait casting rod with a bubble and unweighted fly. Also sinking lines are allowed but no C+D or Indicator fishing.
I could survive here with my sink tips and large hook sparsley dressed speys and AS type hair wings.
Open for adipose fin-clipped coho salmonAug. 1-Dec. 31.
(31 miles)
The following restrictions apply year round:
Restricted to use of single barbless unweighted artificial fly.
For the purposes of this rule, an unweighted artificial fly is defined as: a conventional hook that is dressed with natural
or artificial materials, and to which no molded weight (such as split shot, jig heads or dumbbell eyes), metal wire, metal beads, bead chain eyes, or plastic body are affixed, and to which no added weight, spinning or attractor device, or natural bait is attached.
Any type rod or reel permitted, but no metal core lines and no added weights or attachments to line, leader or fly (including, but not limited to, strike indicators) except nonfly monofilament lines may have a casting bubble or similar floating device.
No angling from a floating device.
Good luck, I just hope they keep this law out of my Michigan steelhead and salmon waters. I have enough laws to abide with and competition. Looks like a difficult one to comply with and enforce.
If worst comes to worst
I do a lot of fishing in New York, so these regulation changes will affect me. The way I understand this law regarding the long leaders is to prevent the guys nymphing/lining with with long mono leaders and a floating line, however the same result could be achieved by swining a long leader right along bottom, although not the preferred technique I sure. If worst came to worst and while using a sink tip you wanted to fish a leader longer than 4ft you might have to place a micro shot within 4ft of your fly, which wouldn't affect your presentation but would make you legal.
On another note, how does this law apply to the guy wanting to fish a floating line a no weight on the fly. Would he be breaking the rules by have a leader longer than 4ft or would a C.O. understand he is only fishing in the top 1ft or so of water?
I'm sure this regulation will become more complicated in the future as more people ask more questions such as those above.
I stand corrected. My next door neighbor was recently a fish biologist there. I misunderstood what he had told me. My apologies. But they have fairly restricted the methods by which you are allowed to fish.
I don't think the Umpqua is dry fly only just no weighted flies or split shot etc. the last I heard. Wet flies and nymphs are ok.
Fred, whats up on the Umpqua ?
I assume they are intending the term "added weight" to indicate weight attached to the leader system and not the actual fly line itself. An added weight and long leader can be drifted horizontally down stream, mended to insure a drift. With weight on the leader and a weighted fly on the end you could basically keep several feet of leader drifting sideways, a few inches off the bottom of the river. Anything that the leader catches on the hook will drag across. Another of the fine fishing techniques probably created in Arkansas. Surly they are not intending to limit the distance between a sinktip and the fly to 4 feet. But, since I have heard they have now limited 30 miles of the Umpqua steelhead area to "dry fly only", I guess anything is possible.
|John Desjardins
|I think that NY has been thinking about the short leader rule for a couple of years now. If you can get a hold of him, Randy Jones could probably give you some more info on the history.
New York - New Anti Snagging Laws
Great they are doing this but I wonder how they will interpret sinking head fly lines and the leader length attached to them ?
4 foot is to small, hardly ever use that length unless the river is really high and clouded etc...
Michigan has no reg on leader length but does on hook gap size and no weight below the lure, fly or bait. Have to check again since some things are changing this year.

NYSDEC - Region 7
1285 Fisher Avenue
Cortland, NY 13045-1090
607-753-3095, ext. 212
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) will conduct a public meeting to review proposed
changes in fishing regulations for Lake Ontario tributaries in Region 7 (Cayuga and Oswego Counties) at the Oswego County
BOCES located just west of Mexico on County Route 64 on August 14 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The proposed regulation
changes were developed in response to numerous complaints from the angling public about widespread illegal snagging of
trout and salmon. If the proposal is enacted, changes in regulations will take effect October 1, 2002.
A panel of 17 expert fishermen was assembled to advise DEC on issues in the Salmon river and Oswego River fisheries. The
panel was comprised of area guides, and other anglers with extensive experience but no commercial interests in the fishery.
Panel members were longtime residents of the area or individuals who had fished there for many years. Many of the panel
members also have extensive experience fishing for salmon and steelhead on many other Lake Ontario tributaries and in the
Pacific Northwest.
The goal was to develop a regulations package that would allow DEC law enforcement personnel to be more effective in
curtailing illegal snagging while impacting legitimate fishing opportunity as little as possible. Panel members were asked to
identify the major problems with the fishery and to suggest possible solutions that would result in more opportunities for
legitimate angling. The panel identified 3 major issues: snagging with J-Plug type lures, the use of rigs with weight below the
hook to snag fish, and the use of long leaders to snag fish with a technique known as "lining". These observations mirrored
complaints that DEC has received from the general public.
Tackle restrictions that would curtail snagging with J-plug type lures and weight below the hook rigs were recommended
unanimously. As a result, the proposed regulations will require that floating lures have the hook(s) attached to the lure body by
ring or swivel such that the hook(s) are free swinging and the maximum distance between the lure body and hook point(s) is
one and one half inches. Floating lures will be restricted to one hook point on the smaller tributaries in Cayuga and Oswego
Counties from September 1 through March 31 and on the Salmon River from August 15 through October 31. Treble hooks will
be allowed on floating lures at all times on the Oswego River. The use of weight below the hook will also be prohibited under
the current proposal.
The Panel did not reach a consensus on the"long leader" issue but an overwhelming majority of the panel members
recommended that the distance between the terminal tackle (bait, lure or fly) and any added weight should be no more than 4
feet (a maximum leader length of 4 feet). The proposal will include the stipulation that the distance between the terminal tackle(bait, lure or fly) and any added weight be no more than 4 feet, and will apply to all Lake Ontario tributaries in Region 7.
Some advocates of fishing with a long length (often 8 to 10 feet) of leader between the terminal tackle and added weight, which
are often fished with small flies, light lines, and very sharp hooks suggest that fish are biting the flies and are legally and
ethically caught. This technique does not involve the use of heavy weights or constant jerking of the rod but sometimes
involves a single lifting motion at the end of a drift. An overwhelming majority of our panel, many of whom have used long leaders, suggested that the long leaders are extremely conducive to foul hooking fish and that the technique could easily be abused to illegally snag fish.
The requirements that hooks be attached to floating lures with a ring or a swivel, and that the distance between the terminal
tackle and any attached weight cannot exceed four feet have also been proposed for Great Lakes tributaries outside Region 7.
However, the requirement for a single hook point on floating lures and the prohibition of weight below the hook are not includedin proposals for those Regions.
The purpose of the August 14 meeting at the BOCES in Mexico is to provide information about the proposed regulation and to
receive public input on the proposal. <-------

Window Shopping: Context's All-American Style
Peruse The Shop's Curated Picks For Ultimate Guy Style
By Shayna Miller Madison Magazine
"If Steve McQueen wouldn?t wear it, I don?t want to necessarily carry it,? muses Ryan Huber, co-owner, buyer and creative director of Context. ?It?s got to have a classic look.?
As Huber and co-owners Sam and Ben Parker chat with me, I can?t help thinking that they look like they stepped out of the pages of GQ or Esquire. Which is ironic because, yep, this Madison retailer has been featured in both. Opened in 2005, the men?s boutique has already shot to retail stardom and has even had celebs stop by (Steve Martin, anyone?).
Their product conversations are peppered with ?the best,? ?exclusive? and ?authentic.? That?s because the timeless Americana look?T-shirts, button-ups, leather boots, straight-leg jeans, pocket squares, dopp kits and aviators?is their forté. Think Band of Outsider button-ups, Barton Perreira shades and Apolis swimwear, accessories and jackets.
?If we carry a product, we get to know the company very well, and then carry whatever they do best,? says Sam, who?s also CFO and buyer. ?We carry mostly American-made stuff and some Japanese denim. But American-made is huge. If you make stuff in the U.S. today you probably survived a lot. We?d like to be one of those companies.?
And that means staying here: ?The success of us depends on our location,? says Huber. ?There?s a beauty of doing this here ? it?s unexpected. But there?s nowhere else we?d rather be.?
Clockwise from top left
LUXE LEATHER These slim leather belts are Context private label pieces and are custom-sized for guys in-store. $115

Guest blogger Ida Becker helps send off the sailors of the Charleston to Bermuda race Thursday night.
A delightful contingent of rum-quaffing, shorts-wearing, high-pressure weather-talking Bermudians received guests at the Rice Mill Building for The Celebration of Sail on Thursday night. This party honored the cultural and historic ties between Charleston and Bermuda, the British overseas territory located 777 miles off our coast.
Standing shoulder-to-shoulder, the receiving line consisted of Mark Capes, deputy governor; Ralph Richardson, commodore of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club; Andre Burnett-Herkes, honorary secretary of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club; and E. Michael Jones, chairman of the Bermuda Tourism Board, who sent a ripple of laughter through the crowd when he opened his remarks with an island-tinged, "How y'all doing?"
Mayor Riley was on hand to laud the entwining, seafaring relationship shared between our home port and those on the island outcrop, which is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year (it's one darling of a yearlong party; check out the nonstop festivities). Riley was presented with a fresh-from-the-press copy of Four Centuries of Friendship: America-Bermuda Relations 1609-2009 that details some of the more colorful excerpts of our shared history—think smuggled gun powder and copious amounts of rum!
Sailors, marked by their telltale tans, mingled amid the coat-and-tie crowd; and while discussions of weather are often the most boring party speak, chattering about the forecast was duly appropriate for this nautical crowd, especially with the Charleston to Bermuda race getting underway the next day.
The gathering brought back fond memories of previous parties held on the eve of the Charleston to Bermuda race: awe of my friend Susan Ford, who captained an all-women crew six years ago; assisting with logistics before flying over to greet the arriving boats four years ago; and the eager anticipation of my crew spot aboard Luna Danns two years ago.
Although the fleet is relatively small this year (only seven boats will make the passage this week compared to the 18 that competed the year I raced), I'll be excitedly following the progress of The Spirit of South Carolina, our locally built tall ship, which has already introduced more than 3,000 students to the challenges and rewards of sailing. You too can track the fleet.
Incidentally, Bermuda recently completed work on its own tall ship—The Spirit of Bermuda, a 112-foot, three-masted schooner. She'll sail into our harbor alongside nearly 20 other tall ships in late June, just in time for Charleston Harborfest. Get ready for the Parade of Sail as it's bound to be spectacular!

Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush Choose 22 Songs That Inspired Them Most
In this interview from 2009, Rush's guitarist — Alex Lifeson — and bassist — Geddy Lee — choose 60 minutes' worth of the music that is closest to their hearts, essentially putting together the ultimate Rush-approved "mixed tape."
"SINK THE BISMARCK" Johnny Horton, Greatest Hits (1990)
I fell in love with music because of this song. It was the first single I bought. I was around 11 years old, which was about a year before I started playing guitar.
It's a song about the Bismarck, a German battleship that sunk during World War II. It's a very thematic, rousing song. I think I mowed two lawns or something to make enough money to buy it.

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
ABERDEEN – Jody Mac Rock, a Pontotoc County minister, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two civil rights violations while he was an Ecru police officer.
Indicted last May, Rock was accused of making two traffic stops on June 7, 2008, and securing cash in lieu of issuing a traffic citation.
That action constituted depriving the individuals of their constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure.
Rock, 35, admitted his actions to the court and faces up to one year in prison and $100,000 fine for each offense.
The government did not make a recommendation about his sentencing.
U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock presided over the 22-minute hearing.
Rock was represented by Pontotoc attorney Brad Cornelison.
Aycock will not set a sentence date until completion of a report about Rock to guide her decision. It often takes several months for such a report.
She may order him to pay restitution.
Rock remains free on bond.

Wore my 'got DeCSS?' Tshirt that I received in the mail today at the coffehouse I frequent, 'New Moon.' Turned out to be a good conversation starter. Nontechie types now know what DeCSS is and why 2600 is being sued. Some of them have even heard of Linux. Some had thought that DeCSS and Napster were somehow related. Lot of confusion in the general public perception.
A friend of mine, a musician of sorts, argued over Napster earlier in the week. I was advocating for napster, he against. Of the two of us, he is the only one with 'bootleg' tapes. All the mp3s i have are legally downloaded from mp3.com, or ripped from my own CDs. Go figure. Also note he doesn't have a computer, but appreciated my explaination of how Napster worked. We've agreed to disagree on Napster :-)

I am a Army Vet with PTSD and MST (Mental Sexual Trauma). I have been diagnosed by several of the veterans organizations and they say that dog training has saved my life more than once. As of lately I have been doing better but in a bitter battle over assets that mean nothing. Some of you might understand what I am talking about. Yes some of us survive great trauma for a reason and want to help others but most people will never understand what soldier go through on a daily basis with pain. It is a day to day battle. Laughing at yourself is the best medicine.
No I am not that whacked out anymore. Doing better. Yes I was left more dead more than once.

This is our Winston. He went from this cute little puppy to this cute big puppy in less than two years. Winston turned two years old on September 20th.
We knew as soon as we walked into the breeders home that out of the three she had left, he was the one we wanted. He had so much personality and he certainly shows that in all of the pictures we take of him. Our bully is so loving and almost way too friendly....just ask our company that comes to visit...no one leaves without Winston slobbers . He loves to try to find our cat, Cinder, and thankfully, he is too big to get under the bed now, as that is about her only safe place. He really keeps us on our toes...however, he is not one to take very long walks, maybe just to the corner and he is done for and lays down on the sidewalk.
Most people know, that having a bully can be very costly...lots of visits to the vet with skin issues, so if you are not prepared to give all of your love and attention, a bully is not for you, but you could not wish for a more loving pet.
Thanks from Linda Miller Houston

PIKEVILLE - Pikeville Medical Center has received the Women's Choice Award from WomenCertified® distinguishing it as one of the 2013 Best Hospitals for Patient Experience in Obstetrics.
The award is based on robust criteria that include female patient satisfaction measurements as well as clinical excellence considerations. WomenCertified represents the collective voice of female consumers and is a trusted referral source for top businesses and brands identified as meeting the needs and preferences of women.
"Pikeville Medical Center is focused on improving obstetrical care for the women in our region,†Walter E. May, President/CEO of Pikeville Medical Center. "Winning the Best Hospital for Patient Experience in Obstetrics award from WomenCertified affirms our commitment to providing top-quality women's services.â€
Women make or influence more than 90 percent of healthcare decisions for themselves and their families, according to a study published by the American Academy of Family Physicians.
The Women's Choice Award signals that a hospital meets high standards regarding a woman's preferences, and the distinction allows expecting mothers to make an informed decision about where to go for their birthing and maternity care needs.
"Pikeville Medical Center's selection by WomenCertified as one of the Best Hospitals for Patient Experience in Obstetrics differentiates it from other choices in the area,†explains Delia Passi, CEO and founder of WomenCertified, and former publisher of Working Woman and Working Mother magazines.
"Women have many choices when it comes to maternity care and they set the standard for customer service. Women's Choice Award recipients have demonstrated extraordinary service in meeting the needs of women and their families, and represent the smart choice for women.â€
Hospitals qualify for this highly selective annual list based on an in-depth proprietary scoring process.
The scoring incorporates a national, standardized survey of patients' perspectives of hospital care reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) and an analysis that weighs criteria identified as the most important to women for patient satisfaction.
Additionally, the scoring incorporates WomenCertified's in-depth research on customer satisfaction among women, including a joint study on customer satisfaction by gender conducted with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Hospitals were also screened based on clinical criteria.
"Recognizing the best hospitals for obstetrics nationwide that are women-friendly and align with women's identified preferences is important to our mission at WomenCertified, where women help other women with tough, consumer decisions,†Passi concludes.
"Most importantly, when a woman sees the Women's Choice Award at her local hospital, she'll know the hospital values her experience as a critical component of her and her loved one's care.â€

Social networking outfit and enterprise software vendor LinkedIn (LNKD) reports Q2 earnings this Thursday, August 1st, after the closing bell, and analysts are continuing to revise their models of what to expect from the company.
The Street consensus for the quarter is $354 million in revenue and 31 cents EPS.
Wunderlich Securities's Blake Harper, who has a Buy on the stock, today raises his price target to $225 from $205, and writes the software side of the business is showing strength, based on his anecdotal evidence. But he also thinks the subscription part of its Web site may not meet estimates, perhaps delivering $77 million versus Street consensus of $81 million:
We estimate Talent Solutions revenue to grow to $203.1 million in Q2, which would be up 67% Y/Y and 10% Y/Y. Job postings on the site are up 90% Y/Y and 16% Q/Q and have shown a strong correlation to Talent Solution revenues, although Recruiter revenues are a much larger portion of the Talent business than job postings. We continue to hear positive feedback from recruiters for the service and believe the company has been expanding more with smaller and international customers. We expect the ability to penetrate farther into the enterprise with additional HR tools and the expanding member base to enable small pricing increases for the remainder of the year.We estimate Marketing Solutions revenue to be $75.9 million, up 20% Y/Y and 2% Q/Q. The relatively slower growth is due to several larger ad deals done in Q212 that make comparisons more difficult and the transition from a focus on those large deals and display ads to sponsored updates. However, the company has continued to see strong page view growth of 25% Y/Y according to comScore. While the display ads will continue to be served as before, the sponsored updates should be more relevant and impactful for users and advertisers alike. Sponsored updates have moved from mainly a testing phase in Q2 to a broader roll out in Q3 and should begin more widely populating desktop, tablet and smartphone news feeds.
Harper's total for the quarter is $350 million and 29 cents profit, below consensus.
His raised price target reflects potential upside from mobile. Reflecting on Facebook's (FB) strong showing in mobile in its Q2 report last Wednesday, Harper writes LinkedIn should be a similar beneficiary of the broad shift by Web users to mobile devices:
Facebook's Q2 results proved that placing sponsored posts into a dynamic feed on mobile devices can drive significant revenues. Facebook claimed its customers saw a 2x better return on ad sales campaigns with sponsored posts, compared to those without sponsored posts. Facebook's sponsored posts had higher levels of engagement and click-through rates and the company saw marketers increase their budgets to news feed ads as a result. We believe the three most relevant platforms that advertisers would target with news feed ads would be Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn and expect LinkedIn to begin to see initial success with this transition. We also expect this to help drive LinkedIn's mobile revenues, which are currently very small compared to the 30% of unique visitors who came from mobile devices in Q1.
LinkedIn shares are down 87 cents, or 0.4%, at $202.84.

Stephen Kearney admits the departure of Darren Lockyer in 2012 left a bigger than expected hole at the Broncos, which is why they have enrolled senior players in leadership classes during the off-season.
Kearney, who joined the Broncos as assistant coach in October last year, has been involved in efforts to improve the leadership culture of the Brisbane team. Captain Sam Thaiday revealed recently that he felt he was "drowning a little bit" with the burden last season.
Thaiday, vice-captain Corey Parker and senior players Justin Hodges, Alex Glenn and Andrew McCullough have been attending tailored leadership classes since November, provided by an independent consulting company.
"It is different for each club but the thought was we could do with some improvement in that area," Kearney told the Herald on Sunday. "They had been led by Darren for so long but I think last year, after the State of Origin series especially, his absence was felt.
"In the past they had someone who knew what to do in different situations; there had always been a leadership group here but I think Darren had taken on much of the burden himself and he had such a presence at this club."
The situation contrasts sharply with Kearney's former club the Storm, where Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk, Billy Slater, Ryan Hoffman, among many others, form a powerful leadership core.
"In Melbourne there are a number of guys in that position," says Kearney, "and ideally leadership should be dispersed across the team."
Kearney has settled well north of the border, enjoying the climate and the change of scenery after two forgettable seasons at Parramatta. While he doesn't have a defined role, Kearney has been spending a lot of his time on the defensive side of the game, a major concern for the Broncos in 2012.
"Anthony [Griffin] has had me working in that area," says Kearney. "There are certain ideas and techniques from the Storm especially which I think can be of benefit to this group.
The Broncos have also put a major off-season focus on wrestling, with their inability to win the ruck seen as a key failing last season. Kearney worked with jiu-jitsu black belt John Donehue in Melbourne and has employed his expertise.
"He's brought a new way of training to the Broncos," McCullough said of Kearney earlier this year. "It has been refreshing and probably what we needed. He's given us a new angle on things. He's been to a couple of clubs, both successful and unsuccessful, and he knows what does and doesn't work."
Meanwhile, Kearney will make his first trip to Dunedin in over 25 years next week, when the Broncos travel south to play the Warriors in the final NRL trial of 2013. His only previous visit to the southern city was as a 13-year-old schoolboy, accompanying his grandfather on a road trip around the South Island.
"He used to deliver computer paper print-outs," says Kearney, "I guess you call them PDFs these days. It was a five-day trip through a few cities and I tagged along for the ride."
Next week's visit will be more serious business. While reluctant to elaborate, Kearney expects the Warriors to be serious contenders this season, with new coach Matthew Elliott keen to put his own stamp on the team.
"They will be a powerful side as always and I am sure that Matt will utilise the strength they have to set a good platform," says Kearney. "Matt has a style he likes but you always have to work with the resources that you have. I'm sure they will be a threat, though."
At the Kiwis heritage camp in late January Kearney noted a distinct difference among the Warriors in the group, compared to what he saw during the build-up to the October test in Townsville.
"There was a spring in their step compared with the back end of last year," says Kearney. "That can be normal at the start of the season but I think the change [in coach] has been a refresher for them. The quality has always been there but this year they will be pushing for a finals position."
Making the play-offs is a bare minimum for the Broncos, who have only missed the finals twice (1988 and 2010) since they were established 26 years ago. However, they haven't won a premiership since they claimed their sixth in 2006, the longest title drought in the club's history.
"There is a massive expectation here," says Kearney, "but I would rather have that than the opposite. They are used to success here - it comes with the Broncos jumper and brand - but I think it is a positive."

The Perfect Blend and Free Books!
Before I tell you about that, let me tell you that the winner of the signed copy of Hometown Proposal, by Merrillee Whren, is
barn1451@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let me tell you about my own giveaway. On Thursday, September 2, I'll draw the names of five winners who will receive signed copies of The Perfect Blend. I'll only draw from people who leave comments below, so your chances of winning are far stronger than if I included my list of subscribers. (Hey, I love my subscribers, but if they're not actually reading my posts, sometimes they miss out--what can I say?) All you have to do is comment below on your favorite type of tea.
Here's what the book is about:
Steph Vandergrift left everything to elope with Middleburg attorney Rick Manfred, who then stood her up at the altar. Too embarrassed to return home, Steph hopes to earn enough to get by until she can decide what to do next. Tea Shop owner Milly Jewel hires her and appreciates the extra help at the tea shop.
Also appreciative of Steph is Kendall James, one of the kindest, most eligible bachelors in the area. But by the time Steph feels able to consider dating again, her run-away fiancé returns and tries to win her back. Steph is wary, but she and Rick always blended so well.
Christie Burnham, the frank-talking equestrian from whom Steph rents a room, and her frillier sister Liz become fast friends and confidantes to Steph. Between the two sisters, there isn't much any man is going to pull over on Middleburg's newest bachelorette and tea shop employee.
I'm looking forward to seeing who wins!
In the meantime, check out my interviews with Harry Kraus and Ramona Cecil below, and leave comments under their interviews to be entered in drawings for signed copies of their books.
Annoying legal disclaimer: drawings void where prohibited; open only to U.S. residents; the odds of winning depend upon the number of participants. See full disclaimer HERE.

My favorite type of tea? Almost any HOT herbal tea (can't drink cold "regular" tea - ugh!), but I am partial to a couple I picked up on Maui on vacation in 2009. I've reordered because I liked them so much. They are from the Hawaiian Natural Tea company in their "Pineapple Strawberry" and "Passionfruit Orange" flavors. I adore them, especially after a stressful day at work.
I really like the cover of "The Perfect Blend" - it's so comfy looking :-)
Please enter me in your drawing & blessings to you on the new book.

May I be entered, even though I do not have a favorite type of tea? It's something I just do not like very well at all.

Maybe it's just my southern roots but my favorite tea is Mint. It has a soothing effect on me, and I love the way it smells. I drink it hot all winter and grow my own all summer for fresh iced Mint tea.
Your books looks great! I would love to win a copy :)

Love your comments, everyone! Be sure to mention your favorite tea (or do as Michelle did, if you don't like tea).
I promise you don't have to enjoy tea to enjoy the book. ;-)

Oh, I love tea shops. My mother, sisters, and I drink hot tea every day. Most of the time I drink plain Lipton loose-leaf; sometimes Irish Breakfast. If I go to the tea house in the next town over I always get Buckingham Palace tea or Yorkshire Gold.

I love almost any fruity herbal tea, but since we got a Keurig machine last winter, my favorite is Gloria Jean's Pomegranate Berry Fusion with a tablespoon or two of honey.
- August 9, 2010 at 11:21 PM
I LOVE reading your books and can't wait to read this new series. It would be great to win it! I don't drink it often, but I think Chai tea is fantastic! Yummm!!!

My favorite tea is called Irish Cream. I'm looking forward to reading The Perfect Blend. Please add my name, I'd love to win it.

These are some yummy-sounding flavors! I like Chai, too. I'd like to be able to make Thai iced tea the way they do at Thai restaurants, with Chai and cream. Pretty, as well as tasty.
I haven't yet sent the manuscript for the second book in the series to the publisher. I think I'm going to go back and add some of your tea flavors to the story!

The tea shop setting is a great idea for a series. I eagerly await The Perfect Blend and appreciate the chance to win a copy.
As for my favorite tea, it's hard to beat a tall glass of plain old Lipton's iced tea with lemon. And for hot tea, I like some of the herbal tea fruit blends.

Fun contest! I would love to win the book so... favorite tea. Hmmm Can't pick just one, it depends on my mood. Green tea, Chai, Bengal Spice, Sugar Plum Spice, and Madagascar Vanilla Red Tea are my top five.

I actually don't like tea. (I know, I know) But, I've never liked it. I *LOVE* the smell, but never the taste. The only thing that is close to tea that I like is called Russian Tea. (It is basically all sugar, but it has lots of strong flavors to it.) :)
Please enter me! Can't wait to read this new series. :)

Ooh! I would love to win a copy of your upcoming release The Perfect Blend. It is already on my wish list. I have enjoyed each book of yours that I have read.
As for my favorite tea it is Twinnings Lady Grey. I also love Darjeeling. Love black tea! Have had green, white and red teas but black is still number one.

Hey Trish!
I have several types of hot teas that I like, but if I have to pick just one it would be Apple Spice tea.
And of course being a southern girl, I also LOVE a tall glass of iced sweet tea. But, I have to have extra lemon.
My husband told a waitress once, "She'd like a little tea with her lemons." ***grin***
Please enter my name in the drawing. A great book to read and it has recipes for tea sandwiches and sweets, too. OH, what more could a girl want!

I forgot about the tea ...sorry.
Never touch it.
My wife drinks tea like I drink coffee. She favors Earl Gray.
I don't know if that's a titled nobleman or a flavor, but she drinks a lot of it.
I like Folger's coffee, classic blend.

I am from south Georgia so the only tea for me is sweet iced tea. My mom and sister love hot tea and I am learning to enjoy it with them..herb teas not flavored black tea. I enjoyed the last book of yours I read so much I insisted my mom read it too, we both thoroughly appreciate your writing style. Would love to win this book for her(and me).
thanks holli

Thanks again for this opportunity to win a copy of one of your books. Being a southern gal, my favorite tea would be "Sweet Iced Tea". However, when drinking a hot tea, I really enjoy a cup of orange/lemon flavored tea(especially when I have a sore throat), very soothing.
Thanks again,
- August 15, 2010 at 6:14 PM

It would be sensational to win a signed copy of any of your books. I'd like that very much. My favorite tea is an old one with orange and spices called Constant Comment. I used to make it from scratch; now there are tea bags and instant tea under that name. Delicious. When I was a young new wife of an army officer, we lived in Germany, and I remember fixing that tea for all the higher officer's ladies at a tea in my home. Thank you for asking and for the chance to win your book.

Your title immediately brings to mind the aroma of freshly ground beans. I don't even have to taste the coffee -- the smell is enough to pull me in. Then I look at the title and think of my own blended family. My hubby and I each had a child from a previous marriage. Then we had two together. We blended, and it is perfect according to god's plan. Here's my entry for your hat.
- August 16, 2010 at 11:38 AM
Oops -- looked over "my favorite tea" -- I drink a fruit flavored and a green tea mix.

Hey Trish, I would love to win a signed copy of your book. My favorite type of tea is Southern Sweet:) Not real sweet but definitely southern.

The cover of your new book is perfect, I look at the door to the tea room and want to enter in to see who is there and what kind of tea are they enjoying. I know I mentioned my old time favorite in another post, but I do have some newer teas that are favorites and very healthy. Green tea, Oolong, and I enjoy mixing the teas with my lo-cal strawberry/kiwi drink to add a fruity flavor to it. I do like other flavors, and treat myself to them often. Hope I didn't bore anyone with that spiel..I really just want another chance to win Trish's new book.
Congratulations, Trish!

I would really love to read one of your books, I love the cover and I know that I would love the story.
My current favorite tea is Berry Blossum White (Has blueberries in it.)But I have lots of favorites, the only ones that I don't like are the very strong ones. I love my Aunt Martha's Iced Tea. Every year, we used to gather from all over the country to a city park and have the family reunion. And each year my Aunt Martha made the delicious tea. She used to make it in a huge kettle as we had a lot of family coming. Sadly she has passed away and the reunions have
ended. People just got too spread out to come anymore. But I will always remember her wonderful tea.

I'm loving these posts about all the different tea flavors. And yes, Wendy, you can still enter--this drawing will not discriminate against non-tea drinkers. :-)
I like your reference to the blended family, LoRee. I intended the title to have double meaning. The second book's title did, as well, but we've since changed it. I'll post about that closer to the second book's release.
Looking forward to sending five signed copies of the book out in a couple of weeks!

Hi Trish!
I'd LOVE to win a copy of The Perfect Blend. My favorite tea is Peach Green Tea. YUM! I had some when I went to the Cobblestone Inn (B&B in Carmel) with my hubby for my anniversary this year. (#22!)

I would love to win a copy of your book. The cover looks "delicious!"
My favorite hot tea is Lady Gray, and for iced, I make it sun-tea style by the glass with any fruit infusion tea bag. Just set it in the sun for 5 min. then add ice. I also love sweet tea made by my southern belle niece, Rena.

Hi Trish-
I loved your Beach Dreams book! I would love to win a copy of The Perfect Blend. My BFF and I love to go to Tea Shops. We love to read about them too. If I win the book i will take it to the tea shop and read it over a pot of tea with scones!

I realize the following isn't exactly answering your question, Trish, and fair warning: schmaltz alert. My favorite tea? Imaginary tea "brewed" with love and shared across a beautifully-set table by my five-year-old daughter, Sarah. Otis, her beloved, well-worn bear, was the other guest in attendance. He was pretty quiet. No tea ever tasted better. That was almost 16 years ago, and now Sarah loves tea a whole lot more than I do. But I'll always cherish the memory of that very special cup of tea.
Keep writing! I love your books. They're much better than tea anyday, and your book sounds charming as ever.

I love tea, so it is hard to pick a favorite. I would probably say though my favorites would be Chamomile...and a good Earl Gray...or a Raspberry green tea. I also like Caramel Roobios tea...okay, that is not just one. Sorry! martha(at)lclink(dot)com
