August 5, 2011 > Fremont Student Receives Employees' Association Scholarship
Scholarship Recipient Says Parents Are His Inspiration for Doing Well
Class of 2011 valedictorian Mihir Jain, graduate of Mission San Jose High School, paired strong grades with a slew of extracurricular activities to gain acceptance into the University of Pennsylvania, his college of choice. After applying for different scholarships, Mihir received some good news. He had been chosen to receive the 2011 Don Pickinpaugh Memorial Scholarship, awarded annually to a Washington Hospital employee's dependent. "I felt really honored when I found out I was given the award, and I was very thankful and grateful that they chose me," Mihir says. This fall, Mihir plans to major in business at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and also take classes in computer science. "In the third grade I did a book report, and I chose Bill Gates as a hero to me," Mihir explains of his planned career path of entrepreneurship. "His journey with Microsoft changed how people work and play on a daily basis, and I've always been inspired by that and I hope to create something in those fields." Parental inspiration Mihir says he's also had a lot of other great role models closer to home. "I can't choose one person," he says. "Both of my parents have always been an inspiration and are constantly a source of support and guidance. I have obviously been changed for the better by them, as well as some great teachers at Mission San Jose High School." With a number of school and extracurricular activities to his name - including captain of the soccer team and class president, as well as honor society memberships - Mihir says one in particular stands out. "I've been involved with Boy Scouts since first grade and it's been huge part of my life. Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout remains my proudest accomplishment," he says. "I've learned life lessons and leadership skills that will stick with me forever." Finally, Mihir says he wants to thank the WHEA Board for aiding his academic future. "I just wanted to thank WHEA for the scholarship that will assist me on my path to pursuing my educational goals." Opportunities for young scholars Apart from the WHEA Scholarship, Washington Hospital has several other scholarship opportunities that are available to the greater community, including:* The Washington Hospital Service League Scholarship* The Washington Hospital Foundation Scholarship* Medical Staff Scholarships To download a scholarship application and to learn more information about the scholarships that are offered through the organizations in the Washington Township Health Care District family, visit www.whhs.com/community/scholarship. Doing good in the community The Washington Hospital Employees' Association, the volunteer-based organization within Washington Hospital, offers its $2,000 scholarship annually in hopes of helping local students achieve their academic goals. "WHEA sees the scholarship is an investment in the community," says Washington Community Health Resource Library Coordinator and WHEA President Lucy Castillo. "The high level of applicants we receive makes it so tough to pick one, but this is definitely a way for hospital employees to support our community and our young adults who are majoring in anything from the arts to science to history. "Having that opportunity to invest in the community is phenomenal. If it weren't for our due paying members, this wouldn't be possible. For a dollar a pay period and people can see a good investment." Through employee dues, WHEA organizes activities - like family fun days, wine tasting and trips to local sports games - and also dedicates time and funding to the community. "We're able to donate to different charities like our local senior centers, ABODE Services, Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments (SAVE) - there's quite a bit of charities we can do each year," Castillo says. For community members who want to get involved, WHEA also has several opportunities for them as well, she says. "We have three drives per year," according to Castillo. "There's the sock and undy drive where all the items go to ABODE Services, which takes place in March through April. We have bins in our cafeteria and lobby of 2500 Mowry Avenue. If someone from the community wanted to donate toiletries, underwear or similar items, they can." WHEA also recently launched its back-to-school supplies drive that runs through Aug. 19. There are bins available for donations on the ground floor of the hospital down the hall from the cafeteria, and also in the Community Health Resource Library located at 2500 Mowry Avenue. "These back-to-school items help children at SAVE as well as some of the students of families that are seeking counseling through SAVE," Castillo says. Then, coming up in September, Castillo says WHEA will also hold its warmth drive for winter clothing items to help families at SAVE or ABODE Services. Drop-off locations will be in lobby of Washington West, 2500 Mowry Avenue and in the cafeteria on the ground floor of the hospital. "We also have a food drive in November and a toy drive in November and December. These are all great opportunities for the community to participate along with WHEA."

"With more than 40 health plans available, brokers' expertise and knowledge of the insurance landscape will be of great benefit to the uninsured in our state who need assistance choosing a plan that's right for them."
Licensed brokers can become authorized to sell health plans offered on Washington Healthplanfinder upon completing an educational training course implemented by the Washington Health Benefit Exchange.

Your gift can help protect our air, water, land and wildlife, and our health. Support for EarthShare National helps us continue our innovative partnerships and programs aimed at accelerating the pace of positive environmental change.DONATE TO NATIONAL NOW »
While 93% of chief executives around the world say that sustainability is "critical to the future success of their companies," putting such vision into practice can be challenging. How can strong vision in the C-suite be implemented by the entire workforce? And conversely, how can green leaders in the workforce get executives to make sustainable changes?
In the meantime, climate change, biodiversity loss, pervasive chemical use and other environmental issues are threatening our future on this planet. We at EarthShare believe these challenges can only be addressed if nonprofits reach out to companies and their workforces - and vice versa - to form alliances aimed at solving these and other societal issues.
We've seen these alliances in action at EarthShare. Thanks to thousands of workplace donors across the country, EarthShare supports nonprofit organizations focusing on issues that range from providing efficiency upgrades for buildings, to building new parks and protecting existing ones, to working for cleaner air and water in our towns and cities. Companies with a sustainability vision attract employees and investors, reduce risk and engage customers better. Employees increasingly want to know that workplace values align with their own and that their work is doing good for their communities and the planet.
Part of our job is to develop, facilitate and support these private-public-nonprofit sector partnerships. That's why EarthShare is a proud co-sponsor and participant in the 12th Annual Charities @ Work Best Practices Summit on Employee Engagement in Corporate Citizenship, being held from April 2-4 in New York City. The Annual Charities @ Work Summit is one of the country's leading conferences on employee engagement. Attendees include Fortune 500 companies across all sectors of business, each with philanthropic and employee engagement programs of varying sizes and a desire to collaborate on best practices.
Speakers will include CSR and other experts, all of whom will focus on discussing ways to produce better companies, better communities, and a better world. Are you a manager who wants to find out how charitable connections can enhance your company's mission? Request an invitation to the Charities @ Work conference here.

Aviva Premiership Rugby Awards
Robshaw scoops Player of the Year gong

Harlequins and England skipper Chris Robshaw scooped the Player of the Year award at the Aviva Premiership Rugby Awards on Tuesday evening.
Past winners of the Premiership Rugby Player of the Season
Robshaw - who is the first player to win the award twice after taking it back in the 2008-09 season - was joined in collecting an award at the ceremony by fellow England star Owen Farrell who won the Discovery of the Year category. Exeter Chiefs' Rob Baxter was awarded the Director of the Year award.
Robshaw has experienced a remarkable year for both club and country skippering Quins to the top of the Premiership and helping England in their renaissance under Stuart Lancaster to second in the 2012 Six Nations. Robshaw pipped team-mate Mike Brown for the award who was nominated alongside Leicester's Julian Salvi, Gloucester's Nick Wood, Exeter's James Scaysbrook and Saracens' Brad Barritt.
Robshaw will now lead his Quins side into their Premiership semi-final with Northampton Saints on Saturday. Quins director of rugby Conor O'Shea paid tribute to his skipper saying: "This award is richly deserved. What I like about him is that no matter which accolades come his way or what he achieves we all know what comes first with Chris is the team.
"Chris is the sort of guy who'll never get above himself. For him it is all about the team. He wants nothing more than for the team to be successful."
Robshaw's England team-mate Farrell followed in the footsteps of Manu Tuilagi who scooped the award in 2010-11 in taking the Discovery of the Year vote. Farrell broke onto the scene last term but backed it up this season with a series of impressive performances for both Saracens and England.
Robshaw made the ESPN Dream Team as one of four Harlequins representatives with Joe Marler, Mike Brown and Nick Easter also getting the nod. Leicester wingers Alesana Tuilagi and Horacio Agulla were named on the wings with George Pisi partnering George Lowe in the centres. Toby Flood was the chosen fly-half with Exeter's Haydn Thomas at scrum-half.
In the forwards, Schalk Brits and Dan Cole partnered Marler in the front-row while Samu Manoa and Geoff Parling were in the second-row. Scaysbrook joined Robshaw and Easter in the back-row.
Baxter, who was nominated for the Director of Rugby award last year, has guided the Exeter Chiefs into the Heineken Cup next season and confounded the critics at the start of the campaign who said his side would struggle in their second season. It was not the only piece of silverware for the Chiefs on the evening with Gonzalo Camacho taking the game changer award.
Try of the Year went to Gloucester's Jonny May for his sensational solo effort against Harlequins - one of the two in the Scrum Sevens awards.

This article was orginally published at the Sporting News
When Team Canada's management group, coaching staff and 45 players got together for the first time on Sunday, there was a game plan of sorts set up for the following days that consisted mainly of implementing systems and familiarizing the players with not only the bigger ice surface, but each other as well.
72 hours later, it appears mission accomplished. Due to the much-publicized insurance coast, the players needed to stay off the ice forcing Head Coach Mike Babcock and the coaching staff to be creative. In the end, they meandered their way around the adversity by way of ball hockey – which was a popular decision among players. The dry land sessions allowed players to transition what they learned in the video room to the surface all while familiarizing themselves with the wider playing surface.
Although the ice was covered with plastic boards and the black pucks replaced with orange balls, Canadian GM Steve Yzerman felt good about what the three-day orientation camp accomplished.
"The feedback from coaches and players is they think it's been worthwhile," Yzerman said. "They've spent a lot of time, even if they're going on the floor, in meetings and video sessions. Some guys learn different than others. Some guys tune out in video and meetings and whatnot. If we do this in a practical manner, it kind of drives the point home a little bit."
The players too felt the sessions were helpful in setting up a familiarity with the systems and tactics prior to going to Sochi.
"It's been great, I had a chance to get to know the guys and also the system and actually [implementing] it," said Bergeron. "I know it wasn't skating but at least we're doing it, we're executing it and it gets in our head and it'll make it easier [in Sochi]."
The intense and thorough nature of the camp took some players by surprise.
"I think it accomplished more [than I was expecting]." said Capitals defensemen Karl Alzner. "I was actually quite surprised how in depth we were with all the video and getting an opportunity to something out there."
Head Coach Mike Babcock made it a point to cover as much as possible given short time frame and no-ice limitations. The nature of the boarded up surface allowed the coaching staff to take the time ensuring everything was done right and way they expected it to be done in Sochi.
"Understanding the details of how we're going to play, terminology, where to stand, how to play in your own zone, how to play on the power play, penalty kill," he said. "We've gone over and over that. The walk-throughs made it slow enough to really spend some time on it."
The drills and systems themselves were slightly different from the classic aggressive fore-check style Canada has employed in the past. The big ice surface combined with the style of play implemented by the European teams rendered Canada's previous game plan untenable.
"With the Europeans, everything's back to the net. They give you the outside all day long, you'll have the puck on the cycle the entire game. It's hard to get shots through" Said Yzerman at the camp opening press conference on Sunday.
Assistant coach Ken Hitchcock also elaborated on the systems work, specifically on how they're designed to prevent players from becoming too complacent with all the time and space on the bigger ice.
"I think the sucker play is you have more space, you have more time, so the tendency is to take more time. It's the big mistake," Hitchcock "When we play well as Canadians, we play fast defensively and even faster offensively. It's the sucker play if you make that mistake on big ice, you end up being slow and you get covered over quickly defensively."
There was lots of team bonding, relationships were forged and systems were nailed down. However, one thing that was not present at this orientation camp was judgement.
"What we're not getting out of this camp is the evaluation part. We get everything else." Babcock said. "I think [it] was critical for them [to know about] the evaluation process. How do you get to Sochi? We've tried to explain it to each and every guy so when they leave here they've got three months to do their part. They're in control of whether they go."
The evaluation component for both the management staff and the players, kicks off October 1st along with the National Hockey League Season.

Shangri-La's China World Summit Wing, Beijing celebrates Argentina's World Malbec Day on 17 April 2013. Malbec wines as well as the best of Argentinean beef offerings will be featured in the Pine Garden, located on level six from 12 to 2 p.m.
World Malbec Day started in 1853, when the Argentinian president, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, made it his mission to transform Argentina's wine industry. He tasked a French soil expert to bring over new vines and amongst his selection was Malbec, which went on to become the most well-known varietal in Argentina. Another Argentinean famous export is its beef, known for its high-quality and delicious taste. Calves are born and raised on natural pasture without hormones or growth promoters, which adds to the quality of the Argentine livestock, making them tender and healthy.
More than 142 events were organised in 68 cities in over 43 countries around the world in 2012. Now in its third year, World Malbec Day is celebrated for the first time in China World Summit Wing, Beijing. This exclusive event will see over 200 guests from the Argentinean Embassy gracing the inauguration on 17 April. A selection of Malbec wines will also be available throughout the year in the wine list of China World Summit Wing, Beijing.
A three-course lunch and dinner steak menu with optional Argentinean wine pairing inclusive of Malbec wines will be available in Grill 79 from 18 to 26 April 2013. Prices start from RMB 350 plus 15 per cent service charge per person for lunch and RMB 788 plus 15 per cent service charge per person for dinner.
For reservations or more information, please call F&B Reservations on 8571 6460 or e-mail email@example.com.

Netflix has officially launched "Max" on the PS3 version of its app. According to the company, Max is a new experience "that helps you find something great to watch in a fun, conversational way." By playing along with a few games, the service will recommend something for you to watch. However, if you find yourself unimpressed by Max, or don't want a robot telling you what to do, Netflix promises that Max's prominence on the dashboard will diminish over time.
Joystiq points out that Max was developed by Jackbox Games, the team behind You Don't Know Jack. That probably explains the snarky commentary of the program's virtual host.
Currently, Max is for PS3 only, but we wouldn't be surprised if he popped over to other platforms in the future.

Super Bowl leaves dark stain on US image
On the eve of World War I, the British foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, looked out of his office window in London and famously remarked to a friend: "The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our time."
We know now how he felt. We were watching the Super Bowl in the annual American moment of frenzied sports worship and suddenly an eerie half-darkness descended on the stadium. More humiliating yet, the TV producers did not have enough spare beer commercials to fill in for the action.
A great gloom descended on the stadium and the land. America stood befuddled at home around the onion dip, or sat on the couch befuddled. All anybody knew was that something deeply, psychically disturbing had taken place.
Americans longed for answers. Meanwhile, the commentators longed for a statement from the National Football League, something to confirm officially that the lights had gone out, because they only had it unofficially and therefore were left doubly in the dark.
Future generations, learning of this generation-defining moment, will seek answers too. They will ask: What were you doing, Daddy (or Mommy), when the great Super Bowl power outage occurred?
As the author of this column (Slogan: "Mirth for No Laughing Matters"), it is my sworn pundit duty to look at events and tease out their hidden meanings.
This is my sad conclusion: The precise moment when the 34 minutes of partial super eclipse occurred will be recognized one day as the exact tick of the clock when America became a Third World country.
The subject of American decline has become more disturbing lately, with each news cycle bringing up some new act of profound stupidity -- another gun tragedy here, a denial of the obvious there, a politics of bitterness and dysfunction everywhere, a creaking infrastructure ignored, a celebrity's minor mishap made into a Greek tragedy. But none of these has brought the attention-raising debacle of 34 minutes of darkness just as the world spotlight was focused upon the gilded scene.
If a Super Bowl cannot be put on in a Superdome without the lighting engineer having a shot at becoming the Most Valuable Player, then American pretensions to being a superpower are over. Au revoir.
Pity we the people. Pity the poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free but still on foreign shores, and tuning in to the Super Bowl on their steam-operated TVs only to find ... darkness. "Hey, Papa," the little ones shout, "the Americanos have forgotten to pay their utility bill -- our hope is doomed."
As of this writing, nobody knows what went wrong, which is even worse. How humiliating for formerly can-do America, where technology prospered, where the Internet sizzled into life, where invention after invention -- the radar detector and the TV remote -- changed the path of the human species. Hey, anybody got any spare light bulbs? That's our new motto.
It wasn't just the dimmed lights. The famous TV commercials were infamously disappointing. Previously the best minds from the Ivy League would steer clear of professions like medicine and the law in order to write comic tributes to beer, but on this night their efforts were flat. Oh for the cutely flatulent animals of yesteryear!
Somebody did resurrect the broadcaster Paul Harvey to do a commercial about farmers, whom he said God makes. It was so moving that some of us were tempted to go out and buy some farmers, only to discover that corporations have lately driven up their price.
It wasn't just the darned commercials. It came to my attention that certain Steelers fans, usually the creme de la creme ale, were rooting for the Baltimore Ravens, something flagrantly against the order of nature.
They had their paltry reasons -- such as the San Francisco 49ers would have equaled Pittsburgh's record of six Super Bowl victories if they had won. No wonder the lights failed. The Almighty, pausing from making farmers for a second, made an electrical malfunction and then let there be light when the Steeler fans did not get the message. They are cursed now; they will find that their Terrible Towels have been starched by their spouses.
The lamps are going out all over America. We can only hope that some bright spark can relight them.

Twente dropped to second place as they drew 0-0 with Feyenoord and NAC climb up to 13th place with a 4-0 win over RKC
AZ made it two 4-1 wins in a row as they defeated second-bottom team VVV on Friday night.
Adam Maher opened the scoring after 27 minutes, recovering from his poor first touch to beat two defenders and tap past Niki Maenpaa.
The scoreline was levelled early in the second period as Uche Nwofor brought down a long ball and blasted it into the AZ goal.
The Alkmaar club regained their lead just three minutes later through Donny Gorter's penalty which was awarded after a Nils Roseler shove in the box.
Last week's hat-trick hero Jozy Altidore got on the scoresheet shortly afterwards when he slotted Viktor Elm's high through pass into the bottom corner. Two minutes later, Etienne Reijnen made it 4-1 when he knocked in the rebound from close range after Maher was denied by Maenpaa.
Zwolle came from behind to earn a point as they drew 1-1 with Marco van Basten's Heerenveen.
Both sides passed up opportunities to open the scoring early on with Fred Benson missing from close range and Filip Djuricic failing to hit the net shortly afterwards.
Alfred Finnbogason almost capped off some great work with a goal midway through the first-half, but he could only find the side-netting.
Finnbogason scored the game's first goal a minute into the second-half as he pounced on Zwolle defender Bram van Polen's poor first touch in the box and put it past Diederik Boer.
Denni Avdic rescued a point for the blue and white hoops with a late header from Joey van den Berg's cross. The midfielder almost put his side in the lead in stoppage time with a shot from distance but Kristoffer Nordfeldt kept it out.
NAC boosted their chances of survival in the Eredivisie as they thrashed RKC 4-0, with all goals coming in the second-half.
RKC came close to taking an early lead as Teddy Chevalier's shot across goal bounced off of Sepp de Roover and flew towards goal but the defender was saved by the post. Kees Luijckx had a chance at the other end after 15 minutes with a header from a corner which struck the bar.
Danny Verbeek put the visitors ahead 10 minutes after the restart, cutting in from the left and firing past Jeroen Zoet from the edge of the area. Two minutes later, Jordy Buijs doubled NAC's lead as he ran onto Nemanja Gudelj's square pass and smashed it into the bottom corner with his first touch.
Anthony Lurling set up NAC's third goal with a fine pass to Alex Schalk who slipped in behind the defence and tucked it in. Eric Botteghin rounded things off with a header from a corner in the dying seconds of the game.
Mark-Jan Fledderus' late strike saved a point for Roda as they shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw with ADO.
The hosts went a goal to the good inside the first 15 minutes through Mike van Duinen who ran onto a Jens Toornstra pass and lifted it over Filip Kurto.
Roda equalised on the stroke of half time as Roly Bonevacia sent a corner into the box which was headed towards goal by Danilo. The effort looked an easy one for Gino Coutinho to deal with until Mikolaj Lebedynski diverted it past the goalkeeper from close range.
The away side went down to 10 men early in the second-half when Sanharib Malk's foot touched that of Mike van Duinen and the referee said the Roda star had kicked his opponent and showed him a red card.
ADO eventually capitalised on their numerical advantage, taking the led through a Danny Holla penalty. But 10 minutes later, ADO defender Vito Wormgoor was dismissed for a foul in the box and Mark-Jan Fledderus buried the rebound after his penalty was saved by Coutinho.
Dick Advocaat's PSV recovered from last week's shock defeat by Zwolle with a 5-1 hammering of Heracles.
The opener eventually came after 23 minutes when Tim Matavz brought down Kevin Strootman's fantastic long pass and fired home.
Dries Mertens put Jeremain Lens through on goal with a delightful through ball and the forward made no mistake in beating Pasveer.
Heracles pulled a goal back 15 minutes after half-time as Marcelo's poor clearance fell perfectly for Everton who volleyed into the top corner.
There was a hint of handball in PSV's third goal of the game when Georginio Wijnaldum appeared to have used his hand to knock the ball passed the encroaching Remko Pasveer before slotting in from a tight angle.
Mertens extended his side's lead with a mazy run past two defenders and then finished after combining with Wijnaldum, moments before the latter made it 5-1, heading home the rebound after Lens was kept out by Pasveer.
Vitesse turned around a two goal deficit to beat reigning Eredivisie champions Ajax 3-2 on Sunday.
Frank de Boer's side started the game brighter than the hosts and created the first goalscoring opportunity 13 minutes in when Niklas Moisander charged forward and put Siem de Jong through on goal but Piet Velthuizen denied the Ajax skipper.
The Amsterdam outfit took the lead after 33 minutes when a Guram Kashia deflection diverted Lasse Schone's long-range effort passed Velthuizen.
Christian Eriksen was lucky to get on the scoresheet as Christian Poulsen met Patrick van Aanholt's poor headed clearance with a sublime shot from outside the box which flew in off of Eriksen's head and into the bottom corner.
Theo Janssen halved the deficit after 68 minutes with a chip over Kenneth Vermeer after running onto Kashia's long ball.
Then Van Aanholt made up for his earlier mistake when he capitalised on some poor Ajax defending and tucked it in under Vermeer two minutes before Marco van Ginkel set Renato Ibarra up perfectly to make it 3-2 to Fred Rutten's men.
Steve McClaren's Twente left Rotterdam with a point after their goalless draw with Feyenoord.
Feyenoord were the better team throughout the match and it was their star player Graziano Pelle who had the first chance when he combined with Anass Achahbar but the Italian forward's shot was wide of the mark.
Feyenoord came close once again as Lex Immers met a corner with a side-footed effort which Nikolay Mihaylov saved on the line and then Jean-Paul Boetius saw an effort sail just wide.
Twente first threatened after 65 minutes when Dusan Tadic gathered the ball on the left flank and charged towards goal. The Serbian forward unleashed a shot which was kept out by Erwin Mulder and Wout Brama was there to meet the rebound but he missed the target.
The best chance of the game fell to Leroy Fer when a corner was sent into the Feyenoord box. The young midfielder volleyed from close range but Jordy Clasie was there to head it off the line and clear the danger.
Utrecht gained ground on the leading pack as they picked up three points with a comfortable victory over Willem II.
Alexander Gerndt whipped the ball towards the back post and Edouard Duplan cut back to Anouar Kali who slammed the hosts into the lead.
Gerndt and Duplan were involved once again when the former crossed into the box and the latter stole it from the defender and put it past Willem II goalkeeper David Meul.
Some awful defending led to Utrecht's third goal as Bob Schepers was found all alone in the box and tapped Gerndt's low cross into the net with ease after 89 minutes. And just two minutes later, Robbie Haemhouts scored a consolation for Willem II.
Alex Pastoor's NEC came out on top against Groningen as they beat Robert Maaskant's side 2-1 in the Goffert Stadion.
NEC started the game well and broke the deadlock inside the first 10 minutes with Rens van Eijden's header from a Nick van der Velden free-kick.
The Nijmegen side continued to dominate possession for a period after the goal but Groningen gradually came back into the game although they rarely threatened.
Maaskant's side saw more of the ball after the break and almost equalised when Virgil van Dijk's header grazed the post and later, NEC goalkeeper Khalid Sinouh scrambled to keep Genero Zeefuik out.
Lorenzo Burnet levelled things up with a shot from distance which sailed past Sinouh with the help of a deflection off of Ryan Koolwijk.
The equaliser shocked the home side into life and they increased the pressure as they went in search of the winning goal and it came with 10 minutes left on the clock when Soren Rieks tapped passed Bizot to secure the three points for his side.

Its Sunday Funday again and I have a great review for your today. Today I am not going to tell you how great this game is, but I will be warning you not to waste your money. Yes you heard it right, TRANSFORMERS™: DARK OF THE MOON™, will not get a recommendation from me.
There are a few things in this game that are just 100% deal breakers for any person gaming on their BlackBerry device. When it comes to this game, I have seen so many other games that blow it out of the water.
One of the first things I would normally do when I start a Sunday Funday game review, is taking screenshots. I could not even take custom screenshots with this game, because the game blocks out my convenience key and would not let my screenshot app capture the screen. WHO DOES THIS? Why would a developer not want their consumers taking screenshots of the game and sharing them?? This was the first thing that sent this game into the danger zone for me. Even though I was unable to take my own screenshots I still feel the need to share some pictures with you, so I have pulled the game screenshots off the games App World page. Of course they are really good looking screenshots because the developer has chosen the best of the best to put up on App World.
This is a look at the games screenshots while in action. Most of the game takes place in two modes. Robot Form (non-vehicle) and Vehicle Form, unfortunately you are unable to switch between the modes or transform. You either do a Vehicle Mode level or a Robot Mode level. This is another negative to this game.

- By: greigh macmichaelQuote:
I was not expecting much. Controls were clumsy at best. Haven't played much but from what I can tell you can't transform. I would not recommend this for anyone with a Torch.
Another negative for me, which could be a positive depending on your personality, would be the game play style. The game is built and played in a very arcade style of gaming. It reminds me of an old X-Men or Ninja Turtles arcade game. You can go left or right or up or down and only fight enemies on your level. Your punches or bullets only go left and right. This makes for a very awkward game play and is very hard to portrait on a BlackBerry. The controls are said to be very hard to use and I completely agree!

- Good (3 out of 5 stars)

Its alrite I guss but that controls kinda suck
Lastly, I have to say the only good or positive aspect to the game would be the power moves and garage. The power moves are big energy blast that shoot from your cannons and kill the enemies much quick then standard moves. I think this is a fun feature of the game. Also the garage is an added bonus. Getting to upgrade your parts and progress along the story line is kinda fun too.

In the end, I would only recommend you purchase this game if you are that desperate to get a new game or just have the money to waste. For the amount of money you will spend buying this game, you could put a gallon of gas in your car, and that would be a better use of your money! I personally would much rather play Brick Breaker, its free!
If you have this game let us know what you think!!!

My friend got a V3 that just says TAMAGOTCHI on it but it still works like a real one. So if you are buying on e-bay, and you can see a pic of the tam and it just says TAMAGOTCHI on it, it's probably not a fake.

Yeah, my friend and I both have a V3 tamagotchi that only says "Tamagotchi" instead of "Tamagotchi Connection." I think it's a normal tama, and if it's a fake, I don't really care. It works fine! I think the earlier V3s didn't have it, or maybe the later ones don't.

If it just says, "Tamagotchi" then it is a connexion. A connexion is a European tama.

EUREKA, Ill.--After the game was cancelled last week due to weather, the Lady Panthers went back to Eureka and played them once again, this time finishing the game with a 5-2 win.
Eureka got the early lead when Kesli Blankenship scored a goal from 25 yards out in the 22nd minute of the game. Greenville answered 14 minutes later with a goal of their own by Jen Williams and the assist from Amanda Herr. Seconds after GC's first goal, Allie Rueter put another in the net for the Panthers to bring the score to 2-1 Greenville heading into halftime.
The Panthers continued scoring in the second half, when Haley Thatcher shot the ball past the Eureka goalkeeper in both the 75th and 80th minutes of the game off of assists from Kayla Panzau and Natalie Henneberry. Eureka was able to score one more goal in the game when, in the 82nd minute, Katie McLaughlin finished a pass from Blankenship for the Red Devils' second goal of the game. Despite Eureka's efforts, GC's Lexi Baysinger would have the final word, putting the ball in the back of the net with just 6 minutes left in the game. The final score was Greenville-5, Eureka-2.
This win brings the Lady Panthers' record to 9-7-1 (5-2 SLIAC) The women play again Saturday, Oct. 27, when they take on their Conference rivals, Webster University at 4:00p.m. for Senior Night.

With no call for a vote at the City Council meeting, water and sewer rates will increase in the City of Wapello.
Mike Delzell, City Clerk and Public Works Director, says that the ordinance that automatically raises rates for water and sewer has been in affect for four years and has happened all but one of those years when the Council made a motion against the increase.At last weeks City Council meeting no one objected or called for a vote, so the 4% increase will take effect July 1st.
Delzell shares that the increase for water will raise an extra 5,000 dollars, while the sewer increase will raise an extra 12,000 a year.

Homily for the Fifth Sunday of Lent
(Scriptures for today's liturgy)
Audio for homily
"I will place my law within them,
I will write it upon their hearts, says the Lord."
What the prophet Jeremiah describes here
is a kind of spiritual open-heart surgery.
Let me ask you a personal question:
"Who gets to write on your heart?"
Who has access to my heart, such that he, or she, or they
might write upon it??
Talk about intimacy!
This is access to the very core of who I am.
My parents wrote on my heart in the language of DNA
- at the very moment I was conceived.
My mother was writing her love for me on my heart
and I was writing on hers in the intimacy of her womb
- months before I was born, before I knew a single word.
When I was a child my parents, my family, my friends, my teachers
all had opportunity to write upon my heart.
Before I had a choice to accept or reject what they wrote,
others were writing and leaving their messages on my heart.
What some people wrote was loving, helpful and life giving.
What others wrote may have been wounding, hurtful and harmful.
Some wrote the truth on my heart and others wrote lies.
Some of what was written was illegible and to this day,
I'm trying to figure out what the message was, what it meant for me.
As we grow up we become more protective of our hearts,
we begin to shield them, allowing only a select few to write on them.
Perhaps the pain of words written earlier in life
lead us to deny others access to such a vulnerable place.
Perhaps there were times when we were desperate
to have someone write something,
and so we opened our hearts foolishly and indiscriminately.
Most of us, along the way, chose one other person, perhaps a few,
to whom we open the slate of our hearts.
Certainly, when those we trust walk gently into our hearts
and inscribe there words of love and faithfulness,
nothing is sweeter, no message kinder,
no memory more satisfying, no intimacy more lasting.
Perhaps my words here have led you to a place deep in your heart
where words and messages have been inscribed
and have been found sometimes loving and helpful,
sometimes painful and hurtful.
It's in just that place in your heart and in mine
that the Lord wants to write his word:
the law and promise of his love.
It's in our heart of hearts that the Lord wants to write
the word he has for each one of us.
Perhaps what he desires to write on your heart
is a word of healing, or a word of forgiveness, or a word of challenge,
or a word of comfort.
It might be a word of great tenderness to console you
or a word of strength to give you courage.
Each of us can be sure of this:
whatever word or message the Lord wants to write on our hearts
that word, that message is the one we need to read.
Jesus allowed his Father to write on his heart
and so there were inscribed there the sins of humankind,
including yours and mine.
They were written on his heart so that he might carry them for us
and redeem us from the harm our sins do
to others and to ourselves.
The Lord is always ready to write upon our hearts
but Lent is a special time each year to open our hearts
so that the Lord might more freely and easily inscribe on them
the word, the message we most need to read,
whatever it might be.
In the sacrament of this altar the Lord gains access to our hearts
when we open ourselves to receive his Body and Blood in the Eucharist.
Christ is the grain of wheat who fell to the earth and died
to yield a harvest of God's mercy for us.
Christ it was who laid down his life
so that our hearts might be saved for eternal life.
Christ is the one lifted up from the earth
so that all of us might be drawn to him.
May the food of this table help us trust in the Lord
whom we receive in Communion.
May our hearts be laid bare that he might write upon them
the word, the message each of us most needs to read this Lent.

Alternative AU Presidents Debate calls on leaders to invest in saving lives
African governments must keep their promises to invest in healthcare, a coalition of organizations from across the continent said today, at the launch of the "Alternative Presidents Debate" at the African Union Summit in Kampala.
In the Summit's first ever stunt of its kind, activists wore masks to play the roles of some of Africa's foremost leaders and then debated how to solve the continent's health crises. With the real leaders debating behind closed doors at the Summit, this was the only forum where 'Heads of State' reported back directly to their citizens.
During the three days of the official Heads of State summit, up to 40,000 African women and children will die needless and preventable deaths. In 2001 AU member states pledged to invest at least 15% of national budgets to improve healthcare for citizens. Yet last year only six of 53 countries have kept this promise. Meanwhile, 132 out of every 1,000 African newborns and children die before their fifth birthday.
"Urgently increase healthcare spending"
"This light-hearted event has a serious message. When the real Presidents speak they make promises that they do not keep. We need AU governments to do what they have promised and urgently increase their healthcare spending. Millions of African lives are at stake," said Irungu Houghton, Pan Africa Director at Oxfam, who played the role of Bingu Wa Mutharika, the President of Malawi and current Chair of the AU.
Other "Presidents" featured in the debate included Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, Jacob Zuma of South Africa, Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, and Ian Khama of Bostwana.
These countries have mixed results on healthcare. Botswana and Malawi have reached the 15% target – although Malawi has slipped again recently. Nigeria ranks 51st of 53 states, having invested less than 4% of its national budget on healthcare. South Africa, Liberia and Uganda have been worryingly vague about meeting their commitments, and both currently spend less than 10%, with Uganda spending just $6 per person on improving health.
"Investing in healthcare means investing in Africa's future. At the moment too many governments prioritize military and security spending instead of saving the lives of their citizens. Real development cannot be achieved without a healthy nation," said Bactrin Killingo, ITPC Africa Program Manager of International Treatment Preparedness Coalition.
Preventable deaths
The main theme of the AU Summit – maternal and child health – was also featured in the debate. Over half the world's child and maternal deaths occur in Africa, with 4.5 million children under five and 265,000 pregnant women dying each year across the continent. The vast majority of these deaths could be prevented with access to very basic health services and skilled attendance at birth.
Over the past two decades, the number of deaths during pregnancy in Africa has decreased by only 5% – far less than the 75% reduction Heads of State have committed to. Untreated HIV among women causes 61,000 maternal deaths every year, and is the leading killer of women of reproductive age worldwide. In Uganda, the host of the Summit, domestic investment in the health budget actually decreased in the current 2010/11 budget. About 190,000 Ugandan children under five die each year, mainly from complications at birth, pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria.
The coalition called on African leaders and international donors to adopt innovative ways of funding new investment in health services, such as taxes on financial transactions, mobile phone use and air travel.

Notes to editors
As of 2009, the six countries that have met the 15% target are: Rwanda, Botswana, Niger, Malawi, Zambia and Burkina Faso. However, recent figures suggest this number could be down to three this year as some governments slip backwards.
The coalition behind the events includes: Fair Play for Africa, Oxfam International, SAFAIDS, Save the Children, White Ribbon Alliance, World AIDS Campaign, Action Aid, ISIS-WICCE, the Uganda Network of AIDS Service Organisations (UNASO), the East African Network of AIDS Service Organisations (EANASO), and Urgent Action Fund.

Steve writes,
Hi. My name is Steve. I am wondering if it was possible that Soapy could have had a child with another woman, even possibly marrying her. Here is what I know:
My great grandfather-in-law's name is Jesse Malbert Smith and he was born in either 1895 or 1896 in Blackshear, GA to Drucilla Riggins and an unknown father. In 1899 Drucilla married Jesse's Stepfather Jessie Kicklighter and they had (I think 5) more children. Jesse Malbert shows up on censuses as having the surname Kicklighter or Riggins as a child. Later on records such as his WWI draft registration card have his surname as Smith. It is as if his father's identity was revealed to him when he became an adult and he chose to take his father's surname.
My grandfather-in-law (Jesse Malbert Smith's son), Malbert Smith Jr., claims not to know much about his grandfather. All the family has been told is that he was from Georgia, involved in politics, but not necessarily a politician, and that he was shot and killed when Jesse Malbert Smith was very young.
Only a few days ago I began to do research on ancestry.com as a favor to my wife's maternal grandfather (it's his account) to find out more about our relatives on all sides of the family. I quickly became intrigued with finding Jesse Malbert Smith's real father. I scoured all the records on ancestry.com and the rest of the internet and found some suspects, but nothing good. I eventually came across Soapy Smith and lots of things matched up. He had the right name, was born around the right time, died around the right time, was from Georgia, was involved in politics, and was shot to death. Additionally, my grandfather-in-law looks very much like Soapy. . . I showed a picture of Soapy to my in-laws at dinner and they all agree. Also, from what I read about Soapy on your website and other places, he was a fugitive for a couple of years around 1895 through 1897 and traveled around before he showed up in Alaska. Could he have spent some time in or around Blackshear, GA?
Other than all of this, I came across this on the internet:
"As for Soapy's remains, miner Calvin Barkdull, who testified at Soapy's inquest, wrote this in his memoirs in 1952: "Shortly thereafter, a woman from Georgia arrived saying she was Soapy's legal wife and was there to claim his corpse. The grave was opened, and I heard that Soapy's body was not there." No other writings support his claim, however."
If this actually happened, I don't think that this was Mary Noonan since it looks like Mary was from St. Louis. and this suggests that there is another wife that lived in Georgia, possibly Drucilla Riggins.
So, could you either tell me any information that you have that suggests that this is possible (that he traveled to GA in that time frame, etc.) or that suggests that it is not possible. I would be interested in finding out if my daughter's great-great-great-grandfather was someone famous like Soapy and it would also be nice to solve this family mystery.

Close-up of the above sterioview card
Hi, Steve.
I have some free time in which I can explain why I don't think Soapy had a second family, although anything is possible.
My great-grandfather saved nearly every letter and document he ever wrote and received. My family have literally thousands of such writing. In Skagway after he was killed the vigilantes found a trunk filled with personal items, letters and documents. The vast majority were handed over to his wife and son when they went to Skagway to collect his estate. There is not a single hint of another family, and only scant hint of "another woman" in Skagway. If what you wrote was possibly true then there would be at least one letter. Please believe me, if I thought there was a possibility I would not try to hide it. I am a historian who prides himself on the truth.
There is no information that Soapy ever returned to Georgia after he moved from there with his parents, to Texas in 1876.
The information you found in the book by Calvin Barkdull is mistaken. The only newspaper accounts of a widow coming to Skagway regards Mary. Those two articles are pretty detailed so there is no mistake it is Mary Smith and their son Jefferson. Soapy's grave was not opened as she did not wish to have his remains transported back to St. Louis. Interesting to hear that he said that the body was not there! In 1917 a major flood carried Soapy's grave out to sea. Thus today the marker tourists see is not over Soapy's old resting place. Looking to the south of the marker you will see a large gully dug by the flood. This is the true ex-resting place of Soapy Smith.
I am sorry I could not give what you were hoping for. I wish you all the luck in finding your family history.
Jeff Smith

The Pediatric Oncology Education (POE) Program offers a unique opportunity for students preparing for careers in the biomedical sciences, medicine, and pharmacy to gain biomedical and oncology research experience. Students participate in basic or clinical oncology research, research and clinical conferences, and a core lecture series designed specifically for them. All participants make a PowerPoint presentation on their research project and submit a report on their research project written in the style of a journal in which their mentor publishes.
A primary goal of the POE program is to encourage students to pursue a career in cancer research. Thus, we are particularly interested in highly qualified students with a serious career interest in cancer research, either as a clinical scientist or laboratory-based research scientist.
Members of under-represented ethnic minority groups and women are particularly encouraged to apply, since one of our major long-term program goals is to increase the diversity of persons engaged in oncology research and practice. Our NIH/NCI-funded (2 P30CA021765-32S1) Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) grant provides stipends for additional undergraduate under-represented minority POE Program participants. Letters of recommendation sent as PDF attachments to email are appreciated, but hard copy is welcome.

New York Times takes on Apple-baiting troll
LodSys patent makes infringers of us all
Mobile-developer-bothering patent hoard LodSys is under attack from the New York Times and OpinionLabs, with the latter alleging that LodSys threatened its customers and should pay restitution.
Both are calling for dismissal of the same patent that LodSys has been waving at Apple developers along with demands for money. That patent covers in-app billing, but by extension can cover any kind of click-through revenue generation, so is being challenged by the New York Times Company.
OpinionLabs goes one step further in accusing LodSys of threatening its customers with legal action based on the patent, and demanding satisfaction.
"Lodsys has in bad faith repeatedly threatened assertion of the Patents-In-Suit against customers of OpinionLab because of their uses of the OpinionLab Online User Feedback Technology, even though those uses could not reasonably and in good faith be said to infringe any of the Patents-In-Suit," reads part of the OpinionLabs complaint, reproduced by Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents (whose blog has a load more background).
Apple leapt into the LodSys fray last month asserting that its licence on the LodSys patent covers its developers; LodSys doesn't agree. Last week LodSys expanded its accusations to another ten companies, including Best Buy, Adidas and Black & Decker, again targeting the end users of click-through techniques rather than the companies that developed or supplied them (such as OpinionLabs).
OpinionLabs reckons the threats have harmed its business, which is a new angle on an increasingly complicated patent battle. LodSys has obviously dug itself in for the long term, and considers itself funded well enough to fight all comers. That is what it's going to have to do if it's going to end up making a profit on its patents. ®

ShoreTel Connect CLOUD for LinkPoint360
CRM and Outlook Integration
Seamless Email and Voice Integration for Salesforce.com, Microsoft CRM, and SalesLogix
If you are an executive who's invested in a CRM solution, chances are you've done so because the idea of having all of the information about a customer or prospect easily accessible in one place is absolutely compelling. The value proposition is a no-brainer. But here's the catch. The two most common ways your sales people and customer service agents interact with prospects and customers are likely the telephone and email. How natural or compulsory is it to get those interactions documented into the CRM? In most cases, not at all. These conversations happen very often without any record. It's not because your representatives are lazy or don't care, it is because transferring emails out of Outlook into CRM or manually creating an activity every time the phone is dialed, is time consuming, easily forgotten and error prone. We have teamed up with Linkpoint360 to solve this problem.
LinkPoint360 bridges the formidable gap between Microsoft Outlook, the world's most popular email management interface, and Salesforce.com, Microsoft CRM or SalesLogix, the system of record for many enterprises. Mitel Connect CLOUD for LinkPoint360 adds the ability to control your Mitel Connect CLOUD phone. Users can:
- Instantly view contact information from the CRM within Outlook for each recipient of an email
- Click-to-record the email right into a contact, lead, opportunity or case
- Create a new support directly from the email
- Click-to-dial your Mitel Connect CLOUD business phone without ever leaving Outlook
- Post completed call activity directly into the CRM
If you are not yet a Mitel Connect CLOUD phone system customer, contact us to learn more about how this and other Mitel Connect CLOUD CRM integrations can eliminate the friction between productivity and good analytics. If you are already a Mitel Connect CLOUD phone system user, visit LinkPoint360 to learn more.

|Mary Hardin-Baylor broke ground on a brand-new stadium announced last year, while McDaniel is building a new grandstand and press box on the same historic site it has played on for decades.
On Friday, Feb. 3, McDaniel and Mary Hardin-Baylor each held groundbreaking ceremonies to kick off major stadium construction projects. For McDaniel, it's a new stadium built on the same site where the Green Terror have been playing football for 80 years. For Mary Hardin-Baylor, it signifies a new stadium and student union, bringing football on campus for the first time.
Mary Hardin-Baylor has been playing home games at Belton High School, near campus.
"Our football program has a proud past and enthusiastic goals for the future, but there has been one thing missing: a home stadium to call our own," school president Randy O'Rear said. "Today we begin a new chapter in the history of Cru football."
McDaniel's stadium will retain its hallmark bowl setting and tradition of drive-in tailgating while increasing seating capacity. The multi-million dollar project includes a two-story brick and concrete stadium to be built on the site of the current grandstand. Features are concessions, public restrooms, coaches, observation boxes, a large press box, filming areas, additional seating, home and visiting team meeting rooms, and a reception and gathering room.
Mary Hardin-Baylor's new 10,000 capacity stadium and student union building will be built near the center of the campus, adjacent to the Mayborn Center. By locating the complex near the school's arena and nearby intramural fields, the university will create a "student activity zone" surrounded by student residence halls and apartments.

I read somewhere that FHI sold GM 20% to avoid falling under the control of Nissan. (Nissan owns a bank that FHI owed money to or something.) Then Nissan sold GM the other 4%.
I also read that this relationship is allowing Subarus to be sold in parts of the world that previously were devoid of Subies because they can now be sold at GM dealerships. This relationship has also allowed GM to purchase some AWD technology rights from Subaru.

Given a choice between a Tracker, Hyundai, or Kia micro-SUV at a price $4-6,000 less than a new Forester (with better warranties) the new herd of Generation Guess opts for the lower-priced wheels.
Given a choice between a Legacy or Outback (or that hideous -designed-by-the-same-dope-who-gave-you-the-Aztec Baja) or spending $4-6,000 more for an MDX or hopped up Pathfinder or Grand Cherokee, people are swinging that way.
NOW: if Subaru built a simple, no frills family around the 2.5 with a dually AND some hard points for modest "all-terrain" performance as opposed to the present "all-weather" vehicles, they'd absorb more market share.
IMHO, they still make excellent vehicles, but sacrificing genuine off-road capability has hurt them as they move to the target center...that costs them the fringy buyers - and that's where word-of-mouth creates better brand loyalty better than incentives, rebates, deal-of-the-month hooey...

Anyway, I'd have to agree with Subazoo. I don't want something fancy. I love the simple and functional design of the Loyale. I don't care about curves... I want power windows, locks, mirrors. I want to be able to have a car simple/roomy enough for me to work on myself. I want that 4wd... hi/lo would be great, too, though I'm settling for the pushbutton in the Loyale.
A more powerful engine would be nice, though... I'm tired of getting passed every time I'm accelerating to highway speeds...

Before a World Cup, it is customary for the English media to create unrealistic hype about the Three Lions bringing back football's biggest prize. Expect nothing else if England qualify for the finals in Rio; but the media like everyone else know that England winning the World Cup is incredibly unlikely.
Next year, assuming England qualify, the most likely outcome is an underwhelming exit at the group stages. Unless there is a rapid transformation in the way our young players our developed then it is unlikely England will win anything for the foreseeable future.
Look at England's current squad: Gerrard and Lampard ageing with no clear replacements lined up, strikers that still rely on physical presence and players that look technically poor when compared to their German and Spanish counterparts.
Even countries like Belgium, who boast the likes of Eden Hazard and Vincent Kompany, have surpassed England in terms of footballing talent and arguably have a more competitive chance at the World Cup next year.
If Greg Dyke is serious about challenging in 2022 then he must orchestrate a complete reshaping of the youth systems in clubs.
He must enforce strict rules that make Premier League teams put British players in their squads; as opposed to the weak rule that dictates a minimum of 5 homegrown players must be in squads. Equally an emphasis must be placed on producing technically gifted players instead of the traditionally big and quick players, whose effect is rapidly diminishing on the international stage.
Will these changes actually be implemented though? It is extremely unlikely. With the FA's power being limited ever more, being dwarfed by the gigantic Premier League, it seems unrealistic to expect them to persuade the Premier League giants to promote more English talent.
With more and more money being made available to clubs through TV rights, there is far more attraction to bring in technical players from the continent rather than produce it through youth academies.
But whilst clubs receive ever-increasing pay packets from the media and commercial business, and the temptation to buy ready-made foreign talent gets stronger, there is a fear that the gifted players required to compete on the international stage will fall away, and England will face more disappointment.

Difference between revisions of "Koblenz"
Revision as of 04:02, 19 September 2006
Koblenz is a city in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in the Federal Republic of Germany. Koblenz has approx. 108,000 inhabitants; the surrounding area accounts for approx. 400,000 people in total.
Get in
By plane
Koblenz is located within one hour travelling time of three major German airports:
By train
Koblenz can easily be reached by train, for example from the Frankfurt/Mainz area, Cologne area or Trier. These towns are one to two hours trips and connections start early in the morning till late night.
By car
Three German motorways lead to Koblenz: A3, A48 and A61. Parking in the center of Koblenz is sometimes restricted according to time. Park and ride is available. At train station is a park garage. Park garage at Löhr Center closes after shops closed and always some tourists forget this.
By bus
Many bus companies offer trips to Koblenz for one day ore more days.
Get around
At the train station is the bus central station. From there you can reach most areas of town (bus lines run mostly from 5:30 to 23:00). To "Festung Ehrenbreitstein" you go by bus or crossing the Rhine by ship and taking a cable cab up to it. From train station to the center it is only half an hour walk.
Koblenz has a classical theater. In Germany, men wear suits and women wear gowns when going to a classic theatre. In Blaue Biwel enjoy the cabarret. For young people there KuFa (culture fabric) offers nice theater plays and concerts.
Koblenz has a big shopping mall(Löhr-Center) with some 130 shops, located in the city centre. There are also many downtown shops on or near Löhrstraße.
Koblenz is located among wine area of Rhine and Mosel. Most produced wines there are dry white wines. Dry red wines are available too. Vineyards are nice to look on Rhine and Mosel. "Königsbacher" is one local brewery of bier. Main difference between south and north German bier is the proportion of hops and malt. More hops makes beer more bitter. Using of more hops for beer is in this region common.
The ****-Rhein-Hotel Diehl's Terrassen is situated directly at the Rhine, below the Ehrenbreitstein castle/fort, with a view of the Deutsches Eck from every room. Unfortunately, only a few metres from a busy railway. (Diehl's hotel)
A youth hostel is located at castle "Festung Ehrenbreitstein". From there you have a nice view over Koblenz (http://old.web02.djh.de/international/html/index_map.jsp?ID=9).

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Dartmouth heavyweight crew team closed the racing season by winning the Packard Cup in its annual race against Syracuse on Saturday (May 11). The Big Green win the Cup for the first time since 2010 and the 21st time in program history.
In a day filled with weather delays, the third varsity eight race was the only race to take place on the regular race course as rain and weather moved in forcing a slight delay. The first and second varsity eight races were run on the buoyed practice course, as it was more sheltered from the elements.
In the marquee first varsity eight event, Dartmouth and Syracuse didn't disappoint as the race was decided by less than a second. The race was exciting from start to finish, but it was the visiting Big Green that claimed victory, crossing the finish line with a time of 6:08.9, just ahead of the Orange who had a time of 6:09.6. For the fourth consecutive season, this race was decided by less than four seconds.
Syracuse won the second and third varsity eight races. In the second varsity eight, the Orange won the race with a time of 6:11.2, eight seconds ahead of the Dartmouth crew, who took runner up honors with a time of 6:19.0. The third varsity eight race also went to the Orange. In a close race, Syracuse won with a time of 6:05.5, just three seats ahead of the Big Green. Dartmouth crossed with a time of 6:09.6.
Dartmouth will next race at the 2013 Eastern Sprints on Sunday (May 19). The races will be held on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass.

RE "FOR some students, holiday time is coming-out time, too" (Page A1, Dec. 26):
Three years ago we received an email before Thanksgiving from our daughter. She told us she would be wearing men's clothing when she came home from college, and no longer wanted to be described with female pronouns. Over the next weeks we saw our child's breasts were bound and hair buzzed off. We didn't quite understand the difference between gender and sexuality, but learned quickly and allowed love to guide our parenting as our child transitioned from female to male.
For transgender people and their families, coming out at the holidays has the added dimension of a visible change. We had to adjust to a new name, new pronouns, and a child who looked quite different than we previously understood him to be.
We were fortunate to find a support group for parents of gender non-conforming kids. Sharing stories enabled us to become supportive and accepting.
When kids come out, they've usually been thinking about it for a long time. For parents in can be like jumping on board a moving train. It took us a little while to catch up with our son, but it has been wonderful to share his journey.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
Hey Nick, I didn't know that. Although it's still anecdotal, it does add another piece to the equation. we'll probably never know for sure, but as pianodwarf mentioned, his words have a strong flavor of non-belief if you pay attention. And Gawd, you make a good point about the possibility of being a bot. That's still more evidence than I've ever seen for that other guy.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Bucknell University's Department of Theatre and Dance will present "Blood Wedding" by Federico Garcia Lorca on April 17 through 20 at 8 p.m. in Tustin Theatre.
Directed by Anjalee Deshpande, a new member of the Bucknell theatre faculty, "Blood Wedding" is a modern classic based on a true story of passion and betrayal. The story is based on a newspaper fragment that reported a family vendetta and a bride who ran away with the son of the enemy family.
Individual vs. society
Written in Spain in the 1930s, Lorca's play explores the individual's desires versus society's morals, violence and the institution of marriage.
"'Blood Wedding' tells the tale of lovers whose loyalty to each other means betraying everyone they have ever known and then suffering the consequences," said Deshpande, who chose the play because of its relevance to society as a whole and to the community at Bucknell in specific.
"Who hasn't known the pressures of societal expectation? Who hasn't felt the desire to take a new path? College is a time when our students are really exploring, really questioning who they are and who they want to be.
Tradition and culture
"'Blood Wedding' explores just those themes and takes it one step further. Our production asks the questions: What does it mean to be a member of a community? How does culture serve us and how does it bind us?
"'Blood Wedding' examines the connection between tradition and its purpose in society and how when tradition becomes a knife that severs the soul from its desire, no one is ever safe," she said.
Admission is $8 per person, $6 for senior citizens. Tickets are available in advance from the box office or at the door one hour prior to each performance.
