Please contact your Road Scholar program provider at 1-800-866-7111 or email@example.com if you would like to make arrangements to arrive in Costa Rica a day or more before your program.
Afternoon: 6 p.m. program orientation at the hotel. Meet your group leader and fellow Road Scholar participants during a welcome and introduction session at the hotel. We will review the up-to-date daily schedule and any changes, discuss responsibilities, safety guidelines, emergency procedures, and answer any questions you may have.
Dinner: On your own to explore local fare. Your group leader will be available to offer dining suggestions.
Evening: At leisure.
Activity note: The drive to Savegre takes about 2.5 hours. Travel is broken up with stops for lunch and a program activity. Please be aware that program activities and scheduled times could change due to local circumstances. In the event of changes, we will alert you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Check-out of the hotel and board the Road Scholar bus to begin our scenic journey to the Valley of the Saints. While driving near the farm owned by President Pepe Figueres' family, we will stop for coffee and cookies. Lecture: Pepe Figueres' Political Legacy in Costa Rica. Don José "Pepe" Figueres Ferrer holds hero status in Costa Rican history; a position earned through a lifetime of political activism. Don Pepe, as he was known locally, was a key figure in the 1948 revolutionary movement that led to the ousting of President Teodoro Picado and the creation of a new constitution. During a brief period, Don Pepe served as Costa Rica's provisional president before handing over the reins to the popularly elected Don Otilio Ulate in November of 1949. In later years, Don Pepe had the opportunity to once again serve as head of state after winning the 1953 and 1970 presidential elections. Among other things, President Figueres is credited with abolishing the national army, building highways and schools, including the National University and the Technological Institute of Costa Rica, guaranteeing public education, promoting tourism, and strengthening the country's middle class. Field trip to a gourmet coffee cooperative to learn about coffee farming and processing and also sample some world-class brews. The Valley of the Saints, located in the Tarrazu region, is well known among locals for its production of superior coffees. Similar to wine, the quality and flavor of coffee is affected by the climate and soil in which its fruit is grown. The Valley's landscape, acidic soil composition, and well defined dry and rainy seasons all lend themselves to raising coffee. Harvesting is done during the region's dry season (Nov. – Mar.). Limited rainfall during those five months gives fruit an opportunity to ripen evenly and also facilitates the sun drying process.
Lunch: Enjoy lunch at the home of one of the owners of the coffee cooperative.
Afternoon: Arrive at the lodge and check-in. Time at leisure to get settled in your accommodations, relax and explore the lodge's grounds. Before dinner, enjoy sundowners with a member of the Chacon family for rare insights into this pioneering family's long relationship with the Savegre Valley.
Dinner: At the lodge.
Evening: Overview of next day's activities.
Breakfast: At the lodge.
Morning: This morning we will search for the bird of ancient royalty, the colorful and elusive Resplendent Quetzal. Embark on a guided nature walk on forest trails leading to the 400 year-old oak forest situated on the upper slopes of the valley.

Return to the camp.
Lunch: At the camp.
Afternoon: Afternoon at leisure to enjoy optional activities at the camp such as: hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, bird watching, and walking on local trails.
Dinner: At the camp.
Evening: Overview of next day's activities.
Activity note: The transfer to Manuel Antonio takes approximately 1-1.5 hours.
Breakfast: At the camp.
Morning: Transfer from the lower Savegre Valley to Manuel Antonio. Stop at El Avion ("The Airplane") restaurant to learn about the aircraft's interesting connection to the United States' Iran-Contra Affair. El Avion restaurant is as famous for its unique decor as it is for its food and drinks. First-time visitors will most likely do a double take at the sight of the large aircraft parked within the open sided building. No--your eyes are not playing tricks on you, this is the real thing. The airplane (a Fairchild C-123) was one of a handful of aircrafts purchased by the U.S. to secretly aid the counter-revolutionary movement in Nicaragua in the 1980s. If having drinks in the refurbished cabin of this historic cargo plane is not entertaining enough, take a moment to check out the scenic views of the Pacific coastline from the restaurant's porch.
Lunch: At El Avion restaurant.
Afternoon: Arrive at the hotel and check-in. Time at leisure for independent activities in Manuel Antonio.
Dinner: On your own to explore local fare.
Evening: Overview of next day's activities.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: Morning boat safari, cruising along the Pacific coastline. Enjoy a group leader-led overview of the Manuel Antonio National Park. Take part in swimming and snorkeling activities (equipment will be provided). The rest of the day will be at your leisure to explore Manuel Antonio and its full range of dining and entertainment opportunities.
Lunch: On your own to explore local fare.
Afternoon: Continuation of your free time in Manuel Antonio.
Dinner: On your own to explore local fare.
Evening: Time at leisure.
Activity note: The bus transfer from Manuel Antonio to San José takes approximately 3 hours.
Breakfast: At the hotel.
Morning: After breakfast, participate in a guided walk in Manuel Antonio National Park with a site lecture. This is one of the best areas in the country in which to view monkeys. In fact, three of the country's four species of monkey can be found here, including the highly endangered Titi Monkey (Grey Crowned Red-backed Central American Squirrel Monkey) which can only be seen here and in the Corcovado region. Manuel Antonio National Park is probably the most popular destination for travelers to Costa Rica and is a "must" on anyone's itinerary. From sloths to monkeys, the park encompasses an amazing range of biodiversity. Despite the park's fairly small size (about 1,700 acres) visitors can enter in a rainforest and walk straight to the beach. Unfortunately, the park's beauty has also exacerbated its problems. As more people make their way to Manuel Antonio National Park, the potential for its degradation increases and because of this, park officials have begun limiting the number of daily visitors. The natural beauty of this park will surely bring out the photographer in you, so pack plenty of memory sticks for your camera! Depart for San José.
Lunch: At a local restaurant en route.
Afternoon: Arrive in San José. Arrive at the hotel and check-in. Free time to work on your packing, enjoy hotel amenities, or get some rest before dinner.
Dinner: Farewell dinner at the hotel.
Evening: Time at leisure to enjoy your last night among your new Road Scholar friends or to get a good night's rest in preparation for your flights home the next day.
Breakfast: At the hotel (dependent on flight times).

NY Teachers Union Abandons Dem Gov. Over Reforms Update: Regents Board Responds
posted at 5:41 pm on May 16, 2011 by Jazz Shaw
In what is surely a sign of the times, yet another teachers union is rising up against the draconian shackles being attached to them in the fiscal conservative revolution. This time, it's taking place in the unlikely lands of the Empire State.
ALBANY (AP) — The powerful New York State United Teachers union is severing its cooperative relationship with the state Education Department because it embraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo's teacher evaluation proposals.
Richard Iannuzzi of the New York State United Teachers union says the Cuomo proposals backed by state schools Chancellor Merryl Tisch on Friday will hurt education as well as teachers.
Well, I'm sure this was predictable. What are those dastardly Republicans up to now? Let me guess… they not only want to take away collective bargaining, but they plan on making all of the teachers live on a diet of thin rice gruel and tap water until performance improves, right?
Cuomo recommended a potential doubling of the importance of student test scores and performance and more rigorous classroom observation of teachers in the evaluation system being considered by the state Board of Regents.
The system would replace seniority to determine which teachers face layoffs.
Well, we certainly can't have a system where evaluations and results actually impact layoffs and hiring, can we? Oh, and by the way… Cuomo is a Democrat, for those in other parts of the country who haven't been keeping score.
Is it any wonder that people have been rising up against the teachers unions and parents are wondering precisely what it is that they're getting for their tax dollars? The proposals from Cuomo look positively tame compared to anything coming out of Wisconsin, and yet the teachers union is "cutting ties" with the state department of education before they've even been implemented?
Welcome to the new frontier. It's a wave which is washing up on shores as far away as New York and beginning to affect elected Democrats. Buckle up. This may be a bumpy ride.
UPDATE: The state Board of Regents has clearly heard the protests from the teachers union. In response, they've quickly moved into action… to roll out the new evaluation system even faster.
A few months before the first phase of a teacher- and principal-evaluation system is scheduled to take effect, the state Board of Regents is changing some of the rules.
Regents voted 14-3 on Monday to fast-track the timeline for rolling out the new system. Student growth and performance will now be factors in evaluations.
The system was supposed to take effect this fall for math and English teachers in grades 4 through 8, as well as their building principals. Everyone else would be evaluated in fall 2012.
Oh, dear. Am I reading the news or the script for a new alternate reality film?

|MK1 Focus The place to chat about general questions, window tinting, exterior body, interior and lighting upgrades for the first generation 2000-2007 Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i think so,I had a Ford Contour i installed keyless entry and i did a how-to myself. Ill help ya anyway i can just let me know.
|Try contacting Travis at kcautsound.com. I purchased a Compustar remote start from him for my truck. He's a former Ford installer who went out on his own. When I got my system from him he has the option of having it prewired for your vehicle for $25. All I had to do was connect 8 wires in my vehicle and was ready to go. Unit came with very detailed (6-7 pages) instructions and pics. It was easily worth it in time saved. Even though you didn't buy from him, I would dial him up as I heard he is very willing to help anyone he can with a phone call.
I installed my own remote start/alarm, never having done one before, and it worked out great. I used this guide to install it, and it has all the wiring colours, and where they are located and cross referenced it with the ford wiring shop manual I have.
Just remember to test every wire with a multimeter before you hook it up.
For the transponder I used the DEI 1100F but I think it's discontinued but you should be able to find a comparable model. It only sends the code to the receiver when the remote start is active, and you don't have to leave your other key in your car. I believe it was only 4 wires that had to be spliced in by the ignition, but I think I had to look in the shop manual to figure out where they went and I don't have it handy right now.
you will need a pats bypass for the remote start. you will have to do some digging and find one that matches the system you would like to purchase.
Personally i commend you for wanting to try this. But you should be able to find a place locally to you that installs remote starts. They can do it quicker. Know what they are doing. and shouldnt cost much more than doing it yourself.
Ive done remote starts before on non-pats cars (easier to do) its much more involved that just splicing a few wires together.
|Please dont take what i said as a insult... ive been working on cars for over 20yrs and i still get a lil worried ecspecially on the newer vehicles. Its great you would post a how-to for everyone. I had a Ford Contour i installed keyless entry and i did a how-to myself. Ill help ya anyway i can just let me know.
|In the end I most likely will be doing this myself. I have no problem splicing and soldering cables, I just need help finding the right colors and where they are located? I appreciate your concern, but I am looking for information on helping me. I intend to put a full write up of this for the how to page so it will be relatively simple for other people.
|Will... because of your lack of knowledge, i would highly recommend having it professionally installed. If you start messing with wires and not know you can really cause a mess..
Remote Start Installation
Okay, so I am not a professional at wiring for cars at all and I am still debating on whether or not I am going to try this myself.
I ordered a Crimestopper RS4-G3 from amazon for pretty cheap and I just need some help on how to install this.
First off, I have no idea where the ignition cables are and how to get to them, nor do I know where the lock and unlock cables are for the doors.
Second, I noticed that some people have a pats bypass installed into their car so where would I find one of these and how difficult of an install is that? (I've heard of just taping a transponder to the inside of the steering panel near the receiver, but I don't want to just have the pats on all the time.)
Third, does the 2002 Focus ZTS have a hood switch already inside? I know its crucial to ensure safety because no one wants kids accidentally pressing the remote start when you got your engine all opened up (although the battery should be unplugged whenever your working on your car?). If so, is it normally high, low, or ground.
Finally, I honestly have no idea how or when to use a relay and if I did, I probably would be screwed. (I'm sure I can just youtube it and find it relatively simply)
I couldn't find a full install for remote start on this focus so I decided to post here, if you know a thread that already has my answer, just post it and I'll quiet myself momentarily.

text: All Bravo Delta Models are exceptional museum quality models. They are faithfully reproduced in kiln dried Mahogany. Each is carved, joined and sanded by hand. The deep, rich finish that distinguishes these models from all others is created by the application of up to 35 coats of enamel. The artist then hand paints all of the details onto each model. The final product is a beautiful authentic wooden aircraft. Every model comes with its own desk stand. All the propellers are made of wood and will rotate. Some of the jets come with movable swing wings, also made of wood.

You should always keep a hive tool handy!...It makes it easy to open beer bottles with! :-D...Better than using teeth!your friend,john
If you modification has something to do with a lip for the box to fit/slide down in, I think you will find it to be a big problem and will do away with it after the first season. For instance, you can't get the hive tool in there to pry the boxes apart.
I hope you did not try to modify the boxes to lock them together... your bees will glue them together very solidly with propolis. Look at some of the threads on here about folk art and painted hives - you might find their artistic flair a nice match to your construction skills!
It is nice to label the hives too, that way the returning workers can see the front and think " 'Bees'...oh..thats me...I've got to go back there!!" :-DRick

Most personal and organizational problems are the result of a little-known phenomenon called "self-deception". We deceive ourselves into thinking we're doing the right thing for the right reason, but people won't follow a leader whose motives are selfish. The tricky thing is, we don't know that our motivation is flawed.
Through an entertaining and highly instructive story, this audiobook explains what self-deception is, how people get trapped in it, how it undermines relationships and organizational achievement, and - most importantly - the surprising way to solve it. A new edition of a customer favorite!

"Should be a require read to every human"
Great ideas. The only small problem is that the conversations in the book are a little repetitive, but it also helped memory and retention.
Leaders are readers. Audiobooks count as reading right?
"Like staring into a microscopic mirror."
I heard a speaker say "if you are pointing your finger at someone else, you need to realize that three fingers are pointed back at yourself." That might be the best way to describe this book. It constantly turns it back on the reader to seriously examine their own problems and areas of self deception.
This book was recommended to me from a speaker and author whose focus is leadership.
I think it is a great listen for all developing leaders (which is hopefully every leader).
"Awesome book!"
This book is the best leadership book I have ever read. It's amazing how as you read this book you can recognize how we put ourselves in the box and how we invite others to stay in the box.
I would recommend that everyone read this book. I plan on recommending it to my boss. And I plan on getting copies of the book for members of my team.
This will be one book that I read over and over.
"Awesome read for every family and the working community"
I have been looking for a book on Leadership where the lines are transparent between theory and reality that can be adopted. With the example and the storyline it is easy to relate and take applicable excerpts for adoption. This book resonates more often in mind than any other book I read on the subject.
I recommend this book to Families and the every passionate employer/employee who believe in achieving together.
"Transparently eye opening !!!"
A real look at the core of the issues we all face and the tools to see them correctly. Without the lies that we all seem to find ourselves comfortably nestled in.
"Shut up and listen already"
Quit killing relationships
Helped me see how lucky I am up to this point in my life to have any relationships at all!
There are no new skills taught here, just an eye opening experience of seeing people for their Human qualities and not their performance of associated rolls in life. Very, very good for not just leaders of organizations but anyone who interacts with others...ever!
John F
"Not what I expected ...in a good way"
Training by story. The examples make it real because you can project yourself into those situations. By picturing my fails I can see the application of the principle and get out of the box.
I'll listen again. Very practical.
"Great book"
This is a great book to help you learn how to become a better leader.
"Great book with excellent life lessons"
Excellent story helps understand how we can get better in our personal and professional lives. Definitely worth reading and re-reading.
"Perfect timing"
As a leader I have been struggling for many months, feeling conflicted at every decision I made, ever action I took. It wore me down. This book provided me some much needed clarification as to why I was feeling the way I was. I had live 'in the box' for too long and it was affecting every aspect of my life. Now to learn to get out of the box, become a better husband, father, and leader.
"An excellent book given a second life on Audible"
I've read this book and recommended it to a number of others. The Audible format gives it a new lease of life and I will be recommending it again.
I don't often give 5 stars which for me should be reserved for things you rave about and recommend unprompted.
Up there with 7 Habits in my book ;)
"Great format"
The structure of a story helped keep you engaged on the points it's kept repeating. Would recommend to help change the way your deal with people.
"Struggled to listen through attentively"
I struggled to listen through the countless short stories of examples written in the book.
"A Life Changing Masterpiece"
This book got me out of my box. It made me rethink my relationships with many important people in my life.
The narrator delivers the message in a warm and comforting tone, kind of like a caring father or grandfather.
A must read for anyone!
"My first Audible disappointment"
I've recently got the bug for the fable style of business book having read or listened to all of Patrick Lencioni's books but in the case of Leadership and Self-Deception (The Arbinger Institute NOT Patrick Lencioni) there just isn't enough content to make a story from. The basic concept is sound but the authors have turned it into a Hollywood style tale of "everything will be wonderful in the end" and this book will solve all the world's problems courtesy of Tom (the world's slowest learner) and Bud (fortunately for Tom, the world's slowest teacher). They also dedicate the last 30 minutes or so telling you how fabulous the book is and how widely it's used, how many companies it's saved, how many marriages it's saved , and how aspiring CEOs would be foolish to contemplate not reading it before taking up their appointment. I found this especially irritating! The basic concept would make for a thought provoking essay but I don't see it as ground breaking or life changing; Empathy has been around for a long while!
Not in a hurry. His characters all seemed to be "Bud".
No, not really relevant for this sort of book.
I don't think so - sorry, this book just didn't do it for me.
"I don't normally review books but this one's great"
Yes - directly applicable to your whole life
Easy to absorb the information
It probably helps to listen to it in a few sessions.
"Thought Provoking and moves you to Action"
Its is the way the message unfolded, Knowing that everyone has this problem.
The realisation of the Problem
This Book will move you to action.
"Waste of time"
patronizing, idiotic story... just down right waste of time ... I most definitely would not recommend.... and to put the salt on to the wound.... at the end the toot their horn how good the book is and how many lives it changed... forget about competence and being humble, won't find it here

Preparing to coach the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game Sunday night, John Harbaugh watched on the stadium's big video screen as Jim Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers wrapped up their victory in the NFC championship game.
John looked into a nearby TV camera, smiled broadly and said: "Hey, Jim, congratulations. You did it. You're a great coach. Love you."
Less than four hours later, the Ravens won, too. Some siblings try to beat each other in backyard games. These guys will do it in the biggest game of all. Yes, get ready for the Brother Bowl.
It'll be Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh when Big Bro John's Ravens play Little Bro Jim's 49ers in the Super Bowl at New Orleans in two weeks.
As much chatter as there will be about the players involved from Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and his impending retirement to 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's sudden emergence the Harbaugh family angle will make this coaching matchup the most scrutinized in the nearly half-century of Super Sundays.
During the 2011 regular season, the Harbaughs became the only brothers to coach against each other in any NFL game (the Ravens beat the 49ers 16-6 on Thanksgiving Day that year).
Now they'll be squaring off with a championship at stake in a Super Bowl filled with firsts and one truly significant last.
It will be the first one between coaching brothers, of course. First one for Joe Flacco, the oft-doubted Ravens quarterback with the superb touch on deep balls and a QB-record six postseason road wins. First one for Kaepernick, the second-year player with the tattooed arms, the sprinter's speed, and a shoulder that zips throws like the high school baseball pitcher he used to be.
And it will be the last game for 17-year veteran Lewis, Baltimore's emotional leader and this postseason's top tackler with 44 so far. "This is our time," Lewis pronounced.
He appeared to be on the verge of tears before and after helping Baltimore become the only team in 68 tries to overcome a halftime deficit against Patriots QB Tom Brady in Foxborough, Mass.
The NFC West champion 49ers (13-4-1) open as 5-point favorites, seeking a record-tying sixth Super Bowl title but first since 1995. The franchise of Hall of Fame quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young is 5-0 in Super Bowls.
The AFC South champion Ravens (13-6) are headed to their second Super Bowl; Lewis was the MVP when Baltimore beat the New York Giants in 2001.

Arsène Wenger is planning to rotate his squad less than he has over the past month or so as a hectic period of fixtures nears its end.
With Carling Cup and FA Cup ties sandwiched between Premier League games, the manager has been forced into numerous changes from game to game.
Wenger switched eight players ahead of the trip to Wigan on December 29 and he admits that was a deliberate policy to keep his players fresh. Now he intends to chop and change far less drastically.
"Over Christmas I did not have much choice because it was four games in ten days and two games in 48 hours," said Wenger. "I think recently we have gone for a little bit shorter rotation.
"[It will be] this kind [of rotation tomorrow against Ipswich]."
Wenger knows a fighting-fit squad will be crucial as his side competes on four fronts.
"I've said that many times but I really think that I have 25 players and every time we play a game it's a very difficult decision because all the players are top quality," he said.
"That's why I have convinced all my squad that we have to go for all the competitions because we have the needed quality.
"You can compare every player in every position, every time there is two top quality players."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Arsène Wenger has defended Cesc Fabregas against suggestions that the Spaniard is struggling for form.
The 21-year-old has been the fulcrum of Arsenal's midfield since the departure of Patrick Vieira in 2005 and was named PFA Young Player of the Year in April. He added goals to his game last term, netting 13 times in all competitions, and capped a stellar campaign by winning Euro 2008 with Spain.
Fabregas' goals have dried up this season and some argue that the summer departures of Mathieu Flamini and Alex Hleb have affected the Spaniard's contribution. Wenger dismissed those claims at his pre-match press conference.
"Personally I don't see any drop in his performance," said the Frenchman. "At the moment that's what people say, but I don't believe so.
"I believe he is trying even harder but once you become a leader like him and the team doesn't win, you are the first in the spotlight. Before, it was Patrick Vieira. When the team didn't win, it was Vieira... and you forget about Fabregas. Now he has a lot of responsibility and as soon as you don't win, it's
'Oh, it's Fabregas. He's not as good as before.' I don't think so.
"He will get a few more [goals], don't worry. That is as well linked to the success of the team, and to confidence."
Fabregas is often the subject of transfer speculation, even though the player himself has repeated time and again his desire to stay at Emirates Stadium. Wenger insists that the Spaniard's commitment is not in doubt, even if Arsenal have failed to land a trophy for three years.
"You cannot every day question his commitment," said the Frenchman. "He has come out how many times and said he wants to stay here, that he is happy here? The question is created more by people who want to create unrest than by him.
"He has won the European Championship at 21. I will find you plenty of people in England who have not won that. He has also won the FA Cup and he's only 21. You compare with what [Frank] Lampard and [Steven] Gerrard had won at 21, you will see he is not behind them."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Provo • Officially, Wednesday night's ultra-important college basketball game at the Marriott Center will pit Utah State against Brigham Young University.
It could almost be billed as Utah State vs. Utah County.
That's because the BYU Cougars are expected to start four players who hail from Utah County Provo's Brandon Davies, Alpine's Josh Sharp and Tyler Haws and Orem's Craig Cusick along with Californian Brock Zylstra.
What's more, the first or second player off coach Dave Rose's bench, Nate Austin, is also from Utah County, along with key substitutes Ian Harward (Orem) and Raul Delgado (Springville).
Tipoff between the 5-3 Cougars and 4-1 Aggies is at 7 p.m. at the Marriott Center, and the game will be televised by BYUtv.
If there's ever been a more Utah County-centric roster at BYU, longtime observers can't remember it.
"I think it is really cool," said Sharp, who started his career at Utah. "We all have that connection with each other, having played with and against each other so much growing up. I definitely think it is abnormal."
Two of USU's four in-state players, coincidentally, are also from Utah County. Freshman guard Marcel Davis and freshman forward Quincy Bair are from American Fork.
Rose said the ex-Caveman stars "are really good players" and showed well when BYU coaches evaluated them, "but I think at the time our scholarship situation was pretty heavy in those spots."
The trend of BYU being stocked with local high school stars is likely to continue.
For instance, of the five prep players that BYU signed last month, two are from Utah County Lone Peak's Erik Mika and Nick Emery. Next November, Lone Peak's T.J. Haws and Orem's Dalton Nixon are expected to sign with BYU.
"I think that's a good thing," Sharp said. "There have been a lot of talented players come out of this area, and this state, and we are happy to represent the state and Utah County."
This annual matchup has generally meant more to the Aggies, who took a 69-62 win last year in Logan and have had a week to prepare for BYU. But Rose said he's gotten the sense from watching his guys practice the last two days after the Cougars were drilled 83-62 at Iowa State on Saturday that this encounter is more meaningful than usual, if that's possible.
"I think you could tell in practice today that the guys are excited to play this game, probably for a lot of reasons," Rose said. "One of them is probably because it is against an in-state team."
Utah State has played a softer schedule than BYU, but Rose said USU's win last week at the West Coast Conference's Santa Clara was impressive.
"They are really impressive," he said. "... It looks like a really strong Utah State team where the scoring is coming from both their post players, which is a trademark of [Utah State coach Stew Morrill]. "He's got good guard play. I expect a really good game tomorrow."

In 2006, Forrester found that organizational structure, internal enterprise goal systems, and most urgent business requirements were key obstacles on many firms' journey toward broad multichannel solutions with rich cross-channel capabilities. At that time, a few advanced firms tried to establish a multichannel organization, an organizational layer to coordinate multichannel requirements and solutions between the different business groups and the IT organization. Has this changed over the past five years?

Posted by Thomas Husson on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on April 17, 2014
At the beginning of the year in our yearly mobile predictions report, my colleague Julie Ask and I made the following call: "mobile will affect more than just your digital operations — it will transform your entire business. 2014 will be the year that companies increase investments to transform their businesses with mobile as a focal point." McDonald's France is a great example of such a trend.
In France, you can now order a Big Mac anytime, anywhere on your smartphone, tablet, or desktop and pick it up later at any of 1,200 McDonald's restaurants. But mobile ordering and in-store pick up are just the first steps of a broader and more ambitious strategy: differentiating McDonald's brand experience and powering a future relationship marketing platform by enabling direct behavioral customer insights. Although it started with a mobile ordering and payment app nationwide, McDonald's France aims to transform all points of customer engagement by building a platform to extend new services to loyal customers and evolving the entire organization.
Despite a less mature mobile ecosystem and lower mobile usage than in the US, McDonald's France was the first subsidiary of McDonald's to launch a mobile ordering offering at scale. Such an ordering service is only at pilot stage in the US. France is McDonald's second-biggest market after the United States, with €4.35 billion in turnover in 2012. Most other countries had piloted mobile payments so far. With more than 16 million members, McDonald's Japan mobile couponing and in-store contactless payment services is the only other mobile service for McDonald's (and the vast majority of brands) that has scaled massively, but it does not yet offer the same value.

on getting into the last 16:
When you get the draw at the start, our aim is always to go as far as possible in this competition. Last week was a great start. We didn't play well in the first 45 minutes today, but in the second half we were a lot better.
on killing the tie off at the start of the second half:
The first goal was always going to be important and fair play to Jennifer Beattie who came off the bench and did what she's doing of late, which is putting the ball in the back of the net.
on the defensive performance:
A clean sheet says it all really. We've got a new partnership in there with Yvonne Tracy and Ciara Grant. Fair play to them, they stepped up and did really well. Yvonne hasn't played for a long time because it's hard to get into our back four but she stepped in and did well.
on facing Potsdam in the next round:
It's always going to be tough against the Germans. We've got to go there believing we can get through and that is going to be our aim.
on how her England players performed:
The England players always have a precedence to set because the limelight is always on them. I thought Rachel Yankey did really well in the second half. Kelly Smith was coming back from injury today and I think you can tell she hasn't played for a while. Alex Scott did really well. We don't normally play Steph Houghton at left back but she stepped in and had a good game. Jordan Nobbs has lots of energy and will always give you everything and Ellen White did well when she came off the bench.

Arsenal fans paid their own tribute to Fabrice Muamba before the game with Aston Villa kicked-off on Saturday.
The midfielder, who came through the ranks with Arsène Wenger's side, is recovering after suffering a heart attack in Bolton match's at White Hart Lane last weekend.
Arsenal supporters unfurled a huge flag at the north end of Emirates Stadium and passed it over their heads. While doing so they sang Muamba's name.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Fort Wayne, Ind.—Twenty–two percent of them say they drank alcohol in the last month. Over 15 percent say they "binge drank" at some point. Their drinking and driving accounted for 12 percent of all traffic fatalities. And some of them are only 12 years old.
Underage drinking kills children, harms the community, and robs northeast Indiana of its future. To address this problem, the first in a series of Town Hall Meetings will take place Tuesday, May 6, at 7 p.m. at the Public Safety Academy at Ivy Tech South (7602 Patriot Crossing).
These meetings are focused on developing solutions that can be put into action by parents, students, educators, and the general public. The events in Fort Wayne are the result of a collaboration between faculty and students at IPFW and New Tech Academy, and the Drug and Alcohol Consortium of Allen County.
"The serious problem of underage drinking can only be reduced through a strong collaboration between students, parents, and the community at large," said Jeannie DiClementi, associate professor of psychology at Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW).
Of the approximately 826,000 12-20 year-olds in the state of Indiana:
All members of the community are invited. The community can also follow the progress on Twitter at @NoDrinkBefore21 and hashtag #TownHall.
The Town Hall Meetings on Underage Drinking series is sponsored and funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
For more information, contact Professor Jeannie DiClementi at 260-481-6397 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Anyone: I am interested in doing a daylight recon of the White Oak Impoundment any Saturday or Sunday later this month.
I am very familiar with the waters just outside the impoundment, and have walked the dike several times. I am NOT familiar with the foot bridges, the width of the canal just inside the dike, any safety hazards, etc.,
This is for safety purposes. I know how to hunt and do not need to know where inside you have slayed them in the past.
I'll meet you at the Stella ramp. I'll have the boat, all you need is you and some waders.
Pls PM with responses. Lunch on me afterwards at Paps if you don't drown me and we are not eaten by alligators.

"I ordered this for my parents' 50th anniversary party and loved everything about it. The color options worked well with my parents' photo, the text areas were clear and prominent enough without covering too much of the photo, and the quality of the paper and envelope were high enough I felt proud sending them out for my parents' party. Lovely all around."
"This site makes it effortless to customize your design, even for a person unskilled at computers! I applied the reviews of other customers to improve my card: increased pixels on photo before uploading and selected pearl finish. It is also worth the small price to receive a digital proof…takes the stress out of final purchase!"
"We choose this card to show my parents wedding picture 50 years ago and a current picture. The quality is great! I was afraid their original wedding picture being in black and white would look dim, but it turned out beautifully. The invitation is made of thick card stock not flimsy at all."
"My in laws loved the invite we created with your template for their wedding anniversary. So easy to design something so pretty with your fabulous layouts. We picked extra thick paper and that added an extra touch as well."
"We used this for our parents 50th anniversary invitation we used their original wedding photo and it turned out beautifully so many compliments even received messages about the invitation thank you"

Hello folks,
I am considering taking a CELTA course in a Cheltenham institution. I'd be in the CELTA-only club, having not completed uni due to some health problems. I have a handful of good A-Levels for what it's worth, and it was a very respectable university I failed to graduate from. :) I am a native English speaker with a little German and less Russian.
I live near the town and would be interested to know if there are likely to be localish jobs available to someone in my situation, I have the impression from friends that Cheltenham itself does have a number of educational facilities serving international students but if people have previously found work anywhere in Gloucestershire or accessible nearby towns and cities would be of interest.
Teaching overseas does interest me, however. While I've read clearly on the internet that European EFL jobs are for graduates, I was thinking more of Eastern Europe, particularly the prospect of teaching in Lithuania or Latvia interests me a lot. Work in the Czech Republic looks inviting too.
Thanks for reading, and if you do have anything to say, whether to politely suggest or furiously declaim, I'd love to hear from you.


text: I agree with Mo (although, I would hope that you'd find a way to play both Kobe AND Redd, but that's beside the point ) There are pros and cons to both weekly and daily rosters. Everyone will have their own preference (personally, I prefer weekly), but only 1 format can be chosen. Being as this is the Novice league, Weekly is probably a better option for getting your feet wet in fantasy sports.

Santi Cazorla is excited by his flourishing midfield partnership with Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere.
The central trio had never played together before this season, but have been in fine form in recent weeks to help Arsenal win three consecutive league games.
Spain international Cazorla is delighted with how they have adapted to each other's games, and believes it bodes well for the rest of the campaign.
"Every day that goes by we understand each other better," he told Arsenal Player. "It is very easy for me to play with them.
"Mikel is more of a tactical player, a very important player in any side. He always has to be well positioned, to cover the open spaces that we leave further up the field.
"And Jack is an amazing football player. I did not know him well because when I arrived he was injured, but every day that goes by I understand why he is so well rated here, and especially for what he brings to the team."
Cazorla has lit up the Premier League with a series of superlative displays since his arrival in August, and he says compatriot Arteta has helped him settle.
"There is a reason he is the vice-captain of the team: he is a reference player in the dressing room," he said. "He has helped me a lot.
"He knew I was a new signing, that it would be a positive experience for me but that I would also need time. He has had a calming effect on me.
"He has shown his confidence in me, and it is clear that Mikel has been key in my adaptation because he has always helped me."
Cazorla is surprised Arteta has never represented the Spanish national team, but says the fierce competition for places makes it difficult for any player to get a call-up.
"Well, it does surprise me because he is a top player, but at the same time, we always talk about hard it is to get into the national side," he said.
"I think this is an amazing moment for the national side, especially for the number of players in midfield, and he is aware of that.
"He is still very keen to go, and I really hope that he is able to do it. I know it is a dream for him and he is working very hard to get that opportunity."

About the Author
The reason I'm a children's book author/illustrator today is that I have a lot of determination. I practiced drawing and revised my stories over and over because I wanted nothing more than to do what I'm doing now–writing and illustrating children's books.
I always knew I'd become an artist and studied art in college in Texas. After graduating from college, I became an Art Director at a graphic design firm. I moved from Texas to New York to work in children's publishing. I got a job as Associate Art Director in children's books at Scholastic, where I designed books and enjoyed working with editors and illustrators. This was excellent experience.
I illustrated my first children's book in 1992 and soon began illustrating full time. I had always written stories, but I began completing manuscripts and mailing them out to publishers in the early 1990's. In 1996, I sold my first two manuscripts — Boo Who?

Answers to questions people sometimes ask me:
1. Where do you get your ideas?
I get ideas many different ways. Sometimes, ideas just pop into my head. I also listen to and watch the people around me for ideas. I read to get ideas. I daydream to get ideas. When I get an idea, I write it down in an idea notebook, so I won't forget it. I think ideas are the easy part of writing. I get lots of ideas for books all the time. Developing them into a book with a beginning, middle and end is the difficult, time-consuming part. The idea is important, but an idea isn't a book until it has been developed into a story that works as a whole from start to finish.
2. When and why did you decide to become an author and artist?
I've been writing and reading stories all of my life. I didn't concentrate on writing children's books until around 1990. In 1991, I began regularly submitting manuscripts to publishers.I began writing because I had story ideas that I thought would make good books. I've always known I would become an artist–ever since kindergarten.
3. Why don't you illustrate all of the books you write?
I haven't had time to illustrate all of the books I write, but I've usually been very happy with the work of the illustrators who have illustrated my books. I wasn't happy with the art in a couple of books, but I don't think it's fair to try and control the artist, so I keep out of the artist's way as much as possible. I continue to illustrate books by other authors as well. I have just as much fun illustrating a book written by someone else as I do illustrating books I write. As long as the story is good, illustrating it is fun.
4. Did you like school when you were a kid?
Most of the time. I got bored during the summer, so I was glad when school started. I loved getting a new lunchbox and choosing what I would wear the first day. But then after about 2 weeks of school, I wished for summer again. I like to read and I made good grades, so school was mostly fun for me.
5. How do you develop your characters and plot?
I've usually already decided on a main charater and 1/4 to 3/4 of a plot before I start writing a story. I just write and work out the rest of the characters and plot as I go along. I have a college art degree, but have no formal training as a writer. I learn the rhythm and structure of stories by reading books and thinking about how they are structured. I also read instructional books about how to write.
6. What is your favorite part about writing? Why?
Getting an idea; finishing a book manuscript; getting an offer from a publisher; and seeing my book in a store are all big thrills. The process of writing is not always fun. But I'm driven to write, and time flies when I'm writing.
7. How hard has it been to get your works published?
It was hard to sell the first manuscript. Then in 1996, I suddenly sold three manuscripts in three months to Grosset & Dunlap and Scholastic.
8. What are your favorite books besides the one(s) you have written?
Spaceship Under the Apple Tree; Martha Speaks; The Giving Tree; A Friend for Dragon; Chrysanthemum; Ruby the Copycat; Marvin Redpost–Is He A Girl?
9. What do you look for in a good book?
Something I think is funny or a feeling I can strongly identify with. A good idea and a memorable plot and characters.
10. Do you have kids or pets? Hobbies?
No kids, but we do have a great cat, who thinks he's our child. For hobbies, I like to hike, bikeride, and read.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Backstopped by 11 saves from senior goalie Brandon Freeman and goals from six players, including seven tallies from freshmen playing in their first collegiate game, the Ohio State men's lacrosse team downed Villanova, 10-8, Saturday inside Woody Hayes Athletic C enter in front of 934 fans. The game was the season opener for both the Buckeyes (1-0) and Wildcats (0-1).
Rookie Jeff Tundo, from Orchard Park, N.Y., led the Buckeyes with a hat trick and added an assist for four points in his first game for the Scarlet and Gray. Classmate Logan Schuss, a native of Delta, British Columbia, had two goals and an assist for three points. Freshmen Dan Wertz and Dominique Alexander also scored for the Buckeyes in their collegiate debuts. Senior James Green added two goals for Ohio State, with junior Mike Pires also scoring. Freeman had 11 saves in the game, with five in the second quarter.
"We're thrilled to start the year with a win," Nick Myers, Ohio State head coach, said. "Give credit to a great Villanova team. We've got a lot to learn in a short time. We did some great things and some young guys stepped up for us. We need to continue to grow and play smarter lacrosse. We didn't play smart down the stretch and we let them get back in it. That's something we have to look at and grow from."
Ohio State opened the game on a four-goal run and led 4-1 after the first quarter. The first three goals all came unassisted from freshmen in the first 4:01 of the contest. Schuss found the back of the net at 13:23 and Wertz followed at 11:31. Just 32 seconds later Tundo scored his first of the game at 10:59. Tundo set up junior Pires on a fast break at 8:39. The Wildcats got on the board at 3:13 with a man-up goal from C.J. Small, assisted by Kevin Cunningham.
The teams combined for six goals in the second quarter, with Ohio State entering halftime holding a 6-5 lead. Tundo scored at 11:20 to make the score 5-1, followed by a goal from the Wildcats' Mark Scioscia less than a minute later (10:24). There was no scoring until Villanova outscored the Buckeyes, 3-1, over the final 5:38 of the quarter. Jack Rice tallied at 5:38, answered by Schuss at 4:23. The Wildcats' Paul Webber and Matt Bell scored at 2:52 and 1:33, respectively, to make it a one-goal game for the first time since early in the first quarter.
Ohio State scored twice in the third quarter and held the Wildcats scoreless to extend its lead to three (8-5). Green scored off an assist from Schuss at 10:50 and Alexander recorded his first collegiate goal at 4:49.
Green scored on an underhand shot just 31 seconds into the fourth quarter to give Ohio State a four-goal lead (9-5). Villanova then went on a three-goal run in less than two minutes to cut the lead to 9-8. Troy Higgins scored at 10:05 before Webber scored at 8:39 and Rice followed with a man-up goal just 20 seconds later (8:19). Tundo scored the final goal of the game with 2:40 remaining in regulation to put Ohio State ahead by two.
Shots were 32-25 in favor of Villanova in the game. Senior Brandon Freeman had 11 saves for the Buckeyes. Dan Gutierrez had three stops for the Wildcats.
Ohio State returns to action with a game at Bucknell next Saturday.

A US Special Services soldier who was injured in the battle when Omar Khadr was captured says he was shocked to learn the 15 year old Canadian teenager wasn't the only one alive win an Afghan compound when a grenade fatally wounded another American soldier. According to Layne Morris, a former Green Beret, "Eveyone had told me from the get-go that there was only one guy in there." A document inadvertently released to reporters on Monday disclosed that after the grenade was thrown, a US operative killed another suspect and then shot Khadr in the back. The revelation casts doubts on the Pentagon's assertion that Khadr threw the grenade that fatally wounded the Delta Force soldier and medic Christopher Speer. Khadr, now 21, is charged with "murder in violation of the laws of war."
The document now uncovered says an unidentified operative saw someone wih an Ak-47 moving and "moaning" after the grenade was thrown. he operative shot him in the head, killing h im. He then saw the second person(Khadr) and shot him in the back. Khadr has now being tried for the third time since the prior two were dismissed, first by the U.S. Supreme Court which deemed the process illegal and then by a military judge who ruled he didn't have jurisdiction to hear the case.
Among the initial actions of a new American president next year should be the end of Guantanamo Bay and creation of a judicial process which respects the rule of law, not whim.
