Early in Pete McCormack's documentary Facing Ali, one of his former rivals notes that Muhammad Ali is "more revered than any fighter... maybe more than any person." That would certainly explain the surplus of documentary films about him; aside from the original, Champions Forever, and the standard-bearer, the Oscar-winning When We Were Kings, there's Muhammad Ali: Made in Miami , Thrilla in Manila , Muhammad Ali: The Greatest , Muhammad Ali: Through the Eyes of the World , The Last Round- Chuvalo vs. Ali , Albert Maysles's recent "ESPN 30 for 30" entry Muhammad and Larry, and more, many more. Why does he continue to be such a venerable subject for nonfiction film? Well, first of all, because of his uniquely American story and life--the talented kid who ascended to fame and fortune thanks to his mixture of talent and showbiz bravado, mounted multiple stunning comebacks, but couldn't walk away while he was ahead--and its intersections with the defining events of his generation, the Vietnam War and the struggle for civil rights. He's a fascinating figure, and he was so charismatic and dynamic on camera that he left a treasure trove of archival footage. And then, on top of that, he was the greatest fighter of his or any other time, a brilliant strategist and graceful athlete/aesthete who made brawling into an art.
By choosing to tackle both elements of Ali's greatness, and by adopting a fresh approach by telling Ali's story through the eyes of the men who took him on in the ring, McCormack and his crew certainly set their ambitions high. Indeed, they may try to do too much; though it starts off as more of an impressionistic portrait than a straight biography (exploring the theme of Ali as a person, as an icon, as a mythology), by the time they try to cover the man, his rivals, and the times, it too often ends up playing like an extended highlights reel.
Ten of Ali's former opponents are interviewed: George Chuvalo, Henry Cooper, Ken Norton, George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Larry Holmes, Leon Spinks, Ron Lyle, Earnie Shavers, and Ernie Terrell. There are brief biographical sketches of the men, and each tells the story of his encounters with Ali (both in and out of the ring). The interviews are handsomely photographed, using a recurring visual motif of putting the men on their feet, talking and jabbing into the handheld camera as they walk back through their battle with "The Greatest."
It helps that many of the men (particularly Chuvalo and Foreman) are exceptionally good storytellers--Foreman's recollection of the moment when he decided to retire, for example, is absolutely riveting. And they're smart guys; the logistical and psychological analysis of his fellow fighters (especially Lyle and Norton) is keen and insightful. The film is impeccably made, fast-paced and inventively constructed, with catchy graphics and clever on-screen text.
But the amount of material that has been covered in earlier films keeps overshadowing what we see on screen. Foreman's first-person play-by-play of the "Rumble in the Jungle" is mesmerizing, but can't compare to the detail of When We Were Kings. The brief examination of the hurtful trash talk between Ali and Frazier can't approach the intellectual depth of Thrilla in Manila. The tragedy of the Holmes match, and how those who cared about Ali watched him literally damaging himself in those final years, is painful here, but doesn't touch Muhammad and Larry. And so forth. As a result, the stories of the lesser-known fighters (like Lyle and Shavers) end up the most compelling.
But that's not to say that Facing Ali isn't imminently watchable; the curiosity factor about these men is sky-high, and the picture boasts a wealth of entertaining archival footage. This brisk tour of his major bouts and biographical high points covers a lot of material, and though there's not much depth, there's an abundance of style and verve.THE DVD:
Facing Ali's new interviews are lovingly shot in anamorphic widescreen with the Red One camera, and look terrific. Cinematographer Ian Kerr makes expert use of light (often top-sourced) and shadow, resulting in a rich, dimensional image, sharply detailed and notable for the deep black levels. The archival footage also looks great, having been painstakingly restored for the film. Overall, a first-class video presentation.Audio:
The disc's Dolby Digital 5.1 track is crisp, if slightly undercooked. The interview audio is clear and audible in the center channel (some of the men are a little difficult to understand, and are wisely subtitled), while the music is well-mixed and the archival audio is also nicely cleaned up. There's not much use of the rear channels, but that's not a surprise in a documentary (though some of the fight sound could have probably been distributed to make the soundstage a bit more active).Extras:
The disc comes with three featurettes, each of them at least moderately interesting. "Bringing the Fights to Live" (8:22) is a technical featurette, with the filmmakers and Digital Film Central's techs discussing the use of the Red camera and the restoration of the archival footage (with stunning before and after samples). In "Facing Ali: From Book to Screen" (11:21), producer Derik Murray, executive producer Paul Gertz, and director Pete McCormack explain how the project came together and what they wanted to do with it. "After the Bell" (8:54) features brief commentary by the filmmakers on each of the fighters.
Also included are "Animated Trivia Cards" for the ten fighters (with bio, stats, and trivia) and Trailers for additional Lionsgate releases.FINAL THOUGHTS:
Ken Norton says, "To be in the ring with this man called Ali was, to me, an honor." Leon Spinks says it more plainly: "There's only one Ali. There's only one." In the closing passages of Facing Ali, those tributes and memories are genuinely moving, and though the film that precedes them may come up a tad short, it still offers plenty of compelling footage and noteworthy remembrances from its cast of champs.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Thursday, June 28, 2012) – The Colorado Rapids announced on Thursday that the club has waived thee players: forward Quincy Amarikwa, midfielder Ross LaBauex, and defender Eddie Ababio. Amarikwa and LaBauex joined the Rapids in 2010, while Ababio came to the Rapids ahead of the 2011 season.
"We would like to thank Quincy, Ross and Eddie for their service to the club, and we wish all three players the very best going forward," said Colorado Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo.
Amarikwa joined the Rapids in a trade with the San Jose Earthquakes on April 7, 2010, and made 31 appearances (seven starts) in the regular season, scoring three goals and adding an assist. LaBauex, the Rapids' second round selection in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, made 18 appearances (six starts) in the regular season. Ababio, the Rapids' first round selection in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft, did not make a regular season appearance, but entered one 2011 playoff match as a substitute and also played in a CONCACAF Champions League game.
The Rapids will host the Portland Timbers this Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, and then hold their 17th Annual 4thFest against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 4.

Athletes, coaches ready to spring ahead
Alexis Kavanaugh went to the state meet for girls track and field last year. The Vernon-Verona-Sherrill senior hopes to do so again in 2013 and started her quest Monday as the Red Devils began practicing.
"I'm really excited," the three-sport standout said just before her workout began on an unusually warm March 11 afternoon, with temperatures reaching the mid-50s. "I'm more excited than last year. (States) was an awesome experience."
Kavanaugh is the top sprinter on coach Todd Bauer's team and she'll no doubt lead the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams. The Red Devils began on the track for the second year in a row, which was a mixed blessing to coach Todd Bauer.
"Today's going to mess us up," the veteran coach said. "We'll be out then we'll have to come back in and floors beat you up."
Many track and field teams began the first day of the spring season on all-weather tracks knowing colder and rainier and snowier weather is forecast for the rest of the week. Bob Davis, VVS' new boys tennis coach, was in the same boat Monday, but he was just glad to have his team practicing on the school's courts.
"They put them up today," Davis said of the nets. "Our maintenance crew does a great job gettng things ready for us. I didn't expect to be outside, or for these numbers."
VVS had 13 boys at the first tennis practice and Davis expects one more Tuesday. That's more than enough to fill a team that has a handful of returnees.
"I don't mind the change," said Devin Vallee, one of the volleyball players whose season ended less than a week ago. "I can feel myself getting back into it."
Kayla Fazekas was glad to be back in VVS' girls track and field practice after dealing with injuries on and off the past year.
"I got cleared (last) Thursday," Fazekas said of her being eligible to practice at VVS. "I've been working out at Planet Fitness all winter."
Fazekas' main event is high jump and her goal is to clear 5-foot-1, and she hopes to run in the 400 and 800.
She'll get her chance to compete in three weeks as VVS and Mohawk are in a tri-meet at Clinton on April 1.
Ross Braue and Tyler Rifenburg didn't get the chance to formally compete for Canastota's boys tennis team Monday, but they worked out on their own anyway. Coach Peter Smith held an organizational meeting for the six boys on the squad then told them practice on the courts or in a gym with racquets begins Tuesday.
"I'll most likely be second singles, so I need all the practice I can get," Rifenburg said. Braue, a senior, echoed his sophomore teammate's feelings."
"To get as good as we can be, every minute counts," Braue said.
The first few minutes for VVS' softball team were spent going over rules then stretching, running and doing warm-up throws in the main gym.
"I'm excited for the season," senior Erin Confer said. "It feels normal."
The turnout was anything but for coach Gary Oliver and Randy Thomas, his new JV coach.
"We have around 30, maybe 35 for two teams," Oliver said. "I think we'll have to make some cuts. Last year we didn't have any."
Jesse Puchales doesn't have many days left in his high school career before heading off to the U.S. Marines boot camp. The last 70 or so will find the three-sport star trying to better his personal records in the shot put and discus for Canastota's boys track and field team. Since wrestling ended, he's been getting in a few throws in the big yard at his house.
"I'm hoping 52 (feet)," he said of the shot put," and in discus I want 150 feet."
Dan Simmons had hopes in Canastota as well on Monday, and he had them while watching his baseball team wind up practice with pitchers throwing 20 fastballs apiece.
"It's a gym. I'd rather be outside," Simmons said. "But it's time to get started. They're raring to go."
The Raiders managed just one win last year but should fare better in 2013 as seven players return, five of them seniors.
Coach Chris Peto's Stockbridge Valley softball team also opened in the gym Monday but planned to move outside later in the afternoon.
"I've been chomping at the bit to get back to softball after we ended last spring," said Peto. "I think we'll be pretty competitive."
Oneida track and field coach Adam Litwak had his team out on the track running laps to begin the season. He was happy with the opening-day turnout of 52 students, compared to usual numbers in the upper 30s or lower 40s.
Todd Hicks also had his boys tennis team outside at Oneida after an informational meeting to start. The team had work to do before they could play as Hicks tasked them with assembling the nets to end practice, although some players stuck around to get some hitting in before going home.

You're right. They probably should give up. There's no way Adams or Glass, two horrible players with zero redeeming qualities could ever be compensated for by any fourth liner, ever.
all it takes is one guy to hamstring an entire line. in this case, that one guy even has an understudy. but we've been through this adams thing before.
i'm wondering what the team's issue with vitale is. there must be something going on with him off the ice.

November 17 - Hilda of Whitby, Nun, Abbess, Mother
The Venerable Bede wrote about Hilda: "All that knew her called her Mother." Raised by a foster father of power and influence, Hilda eventually found her way to the monastery as a nun. She had followed in the footsteps of her widowed sister and after the calling that God was placing on her life. She expected the life of a monastic to be a pleasing one that gave her time for prayer, reflection, and intimacy with the God she loved. All of this was while growing up among leaders who did not follow the faith that gripped her. When her father and protector was slain in battle, she planned to go to her sister. While on the way, however, she received a letter from Aidan of Lindisfarne. He asked her to come to Northumbria and help found a monastery there. She went because she heard the voice of God speaking through Aidan's letter.
When she arrived, she was comforted in her decision by a calm assurance that she was doing what God had called her to do. As nun and monastic in Northumbria, she learned quickly about the life of one devoted to prayer and service. So quickly that soon she was appointed abbess of a local convent. She wore the pectoral cross of the abbess and led her sisters in Christ in lives of prayer to and adoration of God. The sisters loved her and fittingly called her "Mother." It seems likely that this monastery was a "double monastery" in the Celtic tradition and would have involved both men and women living in separate houses but worshiping together.As most of the Celtic monasteries, it was not uncommon for the abbess of the nuns to lead both houses in worship. After a year or so, she was called away and appointed abbess of the new monastery at Whitby.
It seems that the monastic life that she had been called to by her Lord and equipped with by Aidan gave her room to be a mother to those who hoped to serve God in prayer and leadership. These young monks and nuns named Hilda as their mother as they went out into the world to lead and shepherd the flocks of the Church. By extension, Hilda became mother and grandmother to many Christians in the West in the 8th century. Years later, after her painful and slow death from disease and exhaustion, Bede would write a history of her for she had become a type of mother to him, as well. She offered hospitality and guidance to any who asked and taught those under her tutelage to do the same. In so doing, she shared the Faith that had gripped her and saved her from a young age while the foster child of a foreign king. Nursing leaders and shepherds was her calling and she did so gladly and ably. Indeed she was truly called "mother."

Split Valves, Compression, ReboundIt Doesnt Mean Anything Unless You Can Get Power To The Ground. Heres How
Dirt racing is increasingly becoming a buy-it-and-bolt-it-on sport. One of the few ways to get an advantage over the next guy when it comes to the race car is good suspension tuning. To get the lowdown on getting a Dirt Late Model hooked up with proper shock and spring selection, we went to Jeff Smith of J&J Racecars. In addition to being a darn good racer, Smith sells GRT and Warrior race cars from his shop in Gastonia, N.C. and spends a great deal of time helping racers find the perfect combination for their driving styles.
Circle Track: When tuning for a specific track, what areas of the car are the biggest factors.
Jeff Smith: It depends on how close we are on the setup when we get there. We generally have three areas we go to to tune. We go to the right-front spring, the Panhard bar or the top bar on the left rear (Smith runs a four-link rear suspension). Well change the length of the bar or its mounting height to change the way the birdcage indexes. After that well get into shock valves. Well run the same on the left front and the two rears. Well run the same springs there probably 90 percent of the time. What we change a lot is the right-front spring to affect the car getting in and off the corner. Thats basically how we tune the GRT cars. I think most other cars are probably the same way.
CT: Like most Dirt Late Model racers these days, you run a four-link rear suspension. Please explain the importance of running the shock behind the axle versus in front on the left rear.
Smith: Putting the shock behind the axle on the left rear gives the car more drive off the corner. It also makes it tighter. It does it because of the way the birdcage indexes, or moves, as the car rolls into the turn. As the car turns, it rolls over on its right side, picking up the left side. As the top bar on the left side moves down, it spins the birdcage around the axle. If the axle is mounted on the birdcage behind the axle it actually loads the spring, helping it push the left-side tire down to keep it in good contact with the track. The more pressure you put on that spring the harder it pushes the tire into the ground.
Its the opposite if you have the shock and spring in front of the axle. As the left side rolls up and the top bar pulls the birdcage, its actually unloading the spring. So if we are at a racetrack thats taking rubber and really getting hooked up, and you are able to be on the throttle all the time, the car will start rearing up with the shock behind and get too hard to drive. Then well go to the shock and spring in front of the rear end to calm the car back down.
The rule of thumb is you go in front of the axle tube on the left rear when the traction is there already. Also, putting the shock on the front of the axle will free the car up and keep it from rearing up so much. Its just reducing the traction available to the rear wheels.
CT: Do you switch types of shocks depending on track conditions?
Smith: I run both monotube and twin-tube shocks. For consistency, I stick with just one brand of shocks and springs, Afco in my case.
CT: What factors determine what type of shock you will run and where?
Smith: If Im going to a racetrack that Ive been to several times and I know what I need setup-wise, Ill put my regular shocks on, which are Afco twin-tube units. I like the standard shock the best because I feel they react a little quicker than a gas-charged shock (monotube). But thats just my seat-of-the-pants feel.
If Im going to a racetrack Im not familiar with and Im not really sure what Im going to need, Ill put on a set of double-adjustable shocks. That way I can adjust both compression and rebound individually and not have to be slinging a bunch of shocks and springs around. Its a big advantage to be able to tune your shocks without having to chuck a bunch of units out of the rack. These shocks are also twin-tube, and they are neat because they allow you to adjust in any increment you want, not just whole numbers.
Monotube shocks are more consistent on rough tracks, so Ill switch to the gas-charged shocks if I think the track is going to get rough. With the constant up and down of the wheel, you dont run the risk of foaming the oil with a gas-charged shock.
CT: As a driver, can you tell the difference between a standard twin-tube shock and one that offers adjustability?
Smith: Not really. Lots of times on my double adjustables, Ill set the compression and rebound a half-pound softer than I will run my regular shocks. If I normally go on 75s and 94s, on my double adjustables Ill put the settings at 74.5 and 93.5. Im not saying thats the right thing for everybody, but it seems to work for me in terms of getting the same feel from the drivers seat.
CT: Ever mix shock types?
Smith: Ive played with some monotube stuff on the right rear, then loaded up on the gas pressure just to try to get the car back on the left rear quicker. Ive mostly just experimented with things like that. Its got some potential in some situations.
CT: Some chassis builders now allow you to change rear linkages quickly. Does switching from, say, a four-link to a Z-link require a change in valving?
Smith: Usually, no. Switching the linkage configuration is mainly for controlling rear steer, especially when going from a four-link to the Z-link. You are just flipping the top bar from the front to the back. Now when the car rolls over its keeping the rear end in the same place up and down. The only reason you would change your shock valving in this situation is driver preference.
CT: Give us a guideline of some situations where shock valving is a good tuning option.
Smith: Every situation is different, so its difficult to give hard and fast rules. But a good example is say your car is a little lose getting in and across the middle of the corner. You think its because the car isnt planting its right side hard enough. What you can do is go to your left-side shocks and soften up the rebound a little so that side can rise up faster. Then soften up the compression on the right so it will drop faster. You can go the opposite direction if the car is too tightstiffen the compression on the right and the rebound on the left. You may not have to adjust both sides. Sometimes you can go to just one corner of the car. For example, the left rear has a much greater influence on the car coming off the corner than it does coming in.
CT: What is the one piece of advice you most often find yourself giving to inexperienced drivers and chassis tuners?
Smith: I guess the thing I get most often with people who are still learning is they see what somebody else is running and they hear about things like split valves and soft compressions, and automatically they think theyve got to have the same stuff. They may be way off somewhere else on the race car, but suddenly its the shock thats supposed to fix all the problems. Its tempting to think you can fix about any handling problem with shocks and springs, but you are only covering up a problem, not fixing it. If somebody tells me they need a certain shock combo, my first question is always, Why do you think you need it? The right answer is never because thats what somebody else is running. Youve got to be looking to solve the problems on your car, not somebody elses.
CT: Now for the fun one. Whats the next evolutionary step in Dirt Late Model suspension tuning?
Smith: Some people have begun playing with double shocks on the right rear, one in front of the axle and one behind. The idea is to have zero compression with rebound valving on one and zero rebound with compression valving on the other. Generally, with the double springs you will run half on each spring to total what you would with a single shock-and-spring setup. But then, some people do it a little differently, say if you normally run a 200-pound spring thereinstead of going to a pair of 100s some people will use something like a 110 and a 125. So it isnt a hard rule that you put even weight springs on this configuration.
We havent done enough yet with the double shock/spring setup yet to know exactly what we need with it. Ive tried it a little at some test sessions and found things that I thought were really good. But then when I got to a race and tried to apply what I had learned, the car didnt respond the way I had expected, and it wasnt what I needed.
The double-spring setup seems to be a good idea for people running with a spec tire rule. But then when theyve gone to an open-tire race, theyve always struggled. Ive even struggled trying to run the thing in an open-tire race, because when you can use any tire compound you can get the car so hooked up you are going to run tight, and the double-spring setup makes the car tighter. On a spec tire rule you are not as tight and the setup will help you out. But again, as far as exactly what spring rates and valving work best, we havent quite figured that out yet. It will just take some time to figure it out unless something else comes down the pipe before then.

How to Use The Images Drawing 1
Drawing 1
Anthony Overton's firm, which manufactured and sold cosmetics to African Americans, was well known across the nation. In 1922-1923 Overton erected the Hygenic Building at 3619-27 S. State Street as a "monument to Negro thrift and industry." Born of former slaves in Louisiana in 1865, Overton graduated from the University of Kansas in 1888. He ran a general store in Oklahoma and eventually established a cosmetics company in Kansas City. In 1911 he moved the firm to Chicago where his success expanded to other businesses, including a bank and an insurance company.
Each floor of this building was used for a different purpose. The cosmetics manufacturing took place on the top floor while other aspects of the business, including sales, accounting, and advertising, occupied the third floor. The second floor held the Victory Life Insurance Company as well as rental space for professional offices. The first floor housed a drug-store, the Douglass National Bank, and other commercial ventures. In 1929 Overton claimed that the Douglass Bank was the largest bank "in the United States owned and operated by colored people." It had about 64,000 depositors residing in 30 states.
1) Why did this building house so many different businesses?
2) Why would out-of-town people have used Douglass Bank? How do you think they would have known about this Chicago bank? (Keep in mind that white-owned banks often would not make loans to black businesses.)

During this month we have documented:
- Perlbal's management
- plugins system
- hooks
As we're nearing the completion of the grant we are actively revising everything we wrote so far and we're also delving deeper into the code in search of aspects of Perlbal that should definitely be documented but that we did not originally accounted for (we did however accounted for 2 extra weeks of work; go us). These go from the high priority queuing system to debugging issues, including things like comparing backend_persist_cache with connect_ahead, or explaining the register vs. load dynamics of plugins.
Our original deadline was December 6th and so far it looks like we'll be able to have everything ready by that point.
Among the work that still needs to be done:
- we have noticed that our original list of hooks was missing a few and thus we are now completing it
- we want to document all fields of each class that may be useful
- heavy proof reading
- review the POD
As usual, all our work so far is available at https://github.com/cog/perlbaldoc/
We also keep a to-do list at https://github.com/cog/perlbaldoc/blob/master/TODO

The End of the American Dream?
While the rich are getting richer and big corporations are taking a larger part of the pie for themselves, ordinary people are suffering. Can we bring an end to our "rich takes all" society?
The American Dream—the idea that this is a land ruled by equality of opportunity—is having a tough time lately.
Inequality is skyrocketing, wages are stagnating, and corporations keep gaining more power.
Is this the end of the American dream, or can we unite to rebuild it?
An interview with epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson, whose research shows that what the healthiest and happiest societies have in common is not that they have more, but that what they have is more equitably shared.
Is America meant to be a land of opportunity or inequality? Civic virtue or consumerism? Gus Speth explores three deep contradictions in the American identity, asking: What's next for the American dream?

I love the triangle blocks. I bought a ton of diffident cutting shapes when I first started quilting and plan to do a few quilts with each one and one of them is triangles. I just love the way they look and your quilting is fantastic on it.

I love this quilt. I am have only made three quilts and am so afraid to have my quilting that close together. If my stitches get close, the quilt gets puffy and that is when I get scared. Any suggestions. Or is this normal and I just need to keep on sewing.

ATLANTA, GA (MMD Newswire) – - In a recent episode of A&E's Beyond Scared straight a boy named Alex angered the people that were trying to motivate him when he made the comment that he wanted to turn out like his role model Lil Boosie. Boosie learned of this while in prison and decided to take action. In this video you will see Boosie's first cousin and fellow performer Donkey read the letter that Boosie wrote to Alex and other fans that see him as a role model. Donkey then goes on to speak to Alex about his goals and his future:
This link takes you to the scanned original letter from Boosie: http://boosiejustice.com/2011/09/03/boosie-writes-wayward-fan-prison/
Update: As of September 13, 2011- Alex's mother said that since her son spoke to Donkey she has noticed positive changes in Alex. He is staying out of trouble, which had been a daily occurrence prior to the conversation. She also noted that his overall demeanor is more positive and goal oriented. This initiative and intervention is part of U Hatin? University's Truth Campaign where rap artists explain the difference between the messages in their music and the messages that these recording artists give their own kids and other children. The Chairman of the Campaign Lance Silver explained, "When music is created it is designed to entertain and to sell and the artist themselves never really intend on people taking it (the lyrics or stories) literally. The U Hatin?® Campaign's goal is for more role models like Boosie to take the time to personally reach out to kids who might emulate and admire these rappers and their lyrics and to use their influence to change their destiny for the better!"
The University plans to continue working with Alex on a daily/weekly basis as needed. Alex is expected to become a future leader in the organization and help other kids, like him self, develop a positive focus in life.

exploding field of logistics and its importance to the Jacksonville economy
makes acquiring the latest software for student instruction imperative for
UNF's Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program.
number of companies have stepped forward recently to donate software to be used
in UNF's logistics lab. These donations have made it possible to offer
real-world experience for students, making the UNF program one of the best in
the country.
most recent donation of 115 licenses for Magaya Supply Chain Solution software from
the Miami-based Magaya Corp. follows a donation of 50 user licenses of CAST
Software for Supply Chain Modeling by Barloworld Supply Chain Software of
Naperville, Ill.
year, Manhattan Associates, Inc., an Atlanta-based software development
business, made a similar gift to the logistics lab of 50 user licenses for
Warehouse Management Systems software.
Robert Frankel, chair of Transportation and Logistics, said these gifts are an
outstanding resource for students because they provide students an opportunity
to learn the technical skills and applications of many of the supply-chain
concepts covered within the Transportation and Logistics Flagship curriculum.
are continuously working with supply-chain software vendors to identify more
opportunities where we can match software attributes to the Transporatation and
Logistics program need and knowledge-base emphasis," he said.
software donations are proving to be beneficial for UNF graduates in the field,
as well.
Tekula, of Jacksonville's Southeast Transportation Systems Inc., earned both a
bachelor's degree in Transportation and Logistics and an M.B.A. with a concentration
in Logistics and Management Applications from UNF.
is involved in the transportation of more than 100,000 vehicles a year to
Southeast Toyota dealers from the company's Jacksonville processing center. She
is a log auditor — she works with drivers to maintain their logs while
crosschecking them with global positioning satellites and fuel records. She is
also on the lookout for ways in which the operation can become more efficient.
UNF education is very important because it definitely prepared me for future
opportunities," she said. "Although we do not use the particular software
programs that have been donated recently here, the training in the logistics
lab gave me valuable insight into how these programs can be applied to research
and analysis of everyday problems."
said the expertise she learned at UNF will help further her career in the
transportation industry — whether that's in trucking, railroad or maritime
alum of the UNF Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program is Oana Kelsay, a
global logistics planner with Johnson & Johnson Vision Care Inc. Kelsay is
responsible for monitoring production plans of numerous vision care products
for different global regions and making sure the plans meet forecast models for
demand. Her position makes extensive use of software to keep track of
inventory, orders, shipments and forecasts.
said the hands-on training with software gives UNF graduates a competitive
advantage in a limited job market.
personally will definitely be able to use the software experience I gained
during my logistics concentration to further my career," she said. "The fact
that the Coggin College of Business seeks out these software gifts exemplifies
the commitment that UNF has to the success of their graduates."
also received two degrees from UNF — a bachelor's degree in Transportation and
Logistics and an M.B.A. with a dual concentration in Management Applications
and Logistics. She said she was especially grateful for real-world experience
in the Transportation and Logistics Program.
students are ready to solve issues and save hiring companies money by using the
newest tools available through today's technology."

Peabody isn't utopia
Your recent article on Peabody School [News, August 14: "School story: Peabody mom gets son expelled"] (http://www.readthehook.com/93853/news-school-story-peabody-mom-gets-son-...) may have left readers with impressions that are inaccurate, or at least not the whole story.
Joni Raskin's situation is certainly extreme, in that her child was expelled because of her "non-cooperation" with the administration. But the only other opinions presented in the article are from the school principal and a parent who "absolutely" recommends the school. The impression left is that this troublemaking parent is an anomaly.
Until this coming school year, I was a Peabody parent. Our oldest child was one of the original 13 students when the school started in 1993, and our second child began kindergarten at Peabody in 1998, giving us 12 years cumulatively in the school. We withdrew our first child in 2001 and our second this year.
I don't know Joni Raskin, but I know that she is not the only parent with complaints about poor communication. Several families have withdrawn their children from Peabody School because of a lack of communication from the faculty and administration. I also don't believe that this is the first student forced to leave the school in its 10-year history because of parental "non-cooperation." Questioning the administration's decisions or policies is not welcome at Peabody School.
One comment in particular in your article needs to be challenged. In my experience, the characterization of Peabody School as a place where "There's no bullying, and nobody makes fun of you" is patently false. I realize that this is an impression of Raskin's, but letting it stand unquestioned in your article makes it seem like fact.
On the contrary, I personally know of several Peabody students who were the victims of teasing and bullying. No Peabody student I know will say it doesn't happen.
As volunteer librarian during 2001-2002, I spent nearly all day every day at the school. On numerous occasions I witnessed hurtful name-calling and other harassment. I always intervened in these situations, as a caring adult should. I cannot say that I saw the same behavior from all the other adults there.
Like any other institution, Peabody School has its positive and negative aspects– it's not a utopia. Had Raskin talked to any of the parents who have withdrawn their children, she might have been able to anticipate some of the problems and spared her son the pain of being caught between his mother and the school.

OIE scientific and technical review: avian influenza
Coordinated by T C Mettenleiter
2009. Vol. 28(1), World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Paris. 419 pp., paperback. Price 55. ISBN 978-92-9044-760-3
The Scientific and Technical Review of the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) is published every 4 months for the use of the veterinary and medical professions, and especially for veterinary services. A vast body of literature appeared as a result of intensified interest in avian influenza since the emergence and subsequent spread of highly pathogenic notifiable (HPNAI) H5N1, boosted by massive increases in funding for research. This publication is a compilation of recent findings and represents a comprehensive overview of the present understanding of avian influenza, with contributions from the foremost experts in the field. The reader is led through the history of the disease into aspects of epidemiology, pathogenesis and host specificity, diagnosis, vaccination and concludes with outbreak prevention and management. Generally the coverage of the topic is excellent, but what is perhaps lacking is a review of basic influenza A virus biology, detailing the mechanisms of replication and infection. Readers should also note that in contrast to what is presented in the first paper on the history of the disease, there have in fact been 2 recent outbreaks of HPNAI in South Africa: the 2004 Eastern Cape HPNAI H5N2 outbreak in ostriches and a second outbreak of HPNAI H5N2 in ostriches in the Western Cape in 2006. Although sound molecular evidence has been published to support the notion that the 2 outbreaks were completely unrelated, it remains a long-standing point of contention between the author of this review and the authors of the paper on the history of highly pathogenic avian influenza. Nevertheless, this book would be a valuable resource to veterinary practitioners, scientists and students either as an introduction or to those wishing to deepen their knowledge in particular aspects of the disease and its agent.

One aspect of the internet marketing strategy utilized by Local Management is pay per click advertisements across the most popular internet search engines such as Google and Bing.

We can provide daily updates on any social media platform you want. Local Management can help you jump on the social media bandwagon and get your name out to the masses.

Dear Everyone: Please Don't Turn Edward Snowden Into Julian Assange
from the focus-on-the-story,-please dept
As Tim Cushing recently noted, reports are that Edward Snowden is on the move. With supposed help from the Wikileaks organization, Snowden was supposed to have flown from Hong Kong to Russia, where he would later make flight to Cuba to eventually end up in Ecuador. However, dozens of journalists are said to have boarded that same flight to Cuba, only to find that Snowden's seat was empty. Per The Guardian:
My colleague Miriam Elder didn't manage to get on that plane to Cuba – but she's very glad, since it seems Edward Snowden never got on it either. I just spoke to her. She said Aeroflot officials had told her "with a little smirk" that they had been expecting Snowden too.So, we're left to believe either that something of a shell game is going on, with Snowden doing a feint on one flight ostensibly to board another, or else the game is already over and someone, somewhere has Snowden in custody. And this is something we all really need to focus on because... well...
But Miriam pointed out that Snowden had never actually been sighted in Moscow, and there was actually no real evidence that he had ever been in Russia at all. Meanwhile a planeload of journalists are now off to spend the day in Cuba …
Actually, we don't need to focus on it. It's a story and there's nothing wrong with reporting on Snowden's whereabouts, but this is all beginning to smell far too much like a Wikileaks style thumb-fest, where all the attention is placed on the person rather than the story. That can't be allowed to happen. It'd be far too easy for the American government and the press to be able to shine a spotlight on Snowden as opposed to what he revealed. While the headlines are filled with breathless reporting on the real life game of Where's Snowden going on, less attention is paid to his leaks and what those revelations mean for the American system of government. That's how we lose any focus on John Kerry's incredible statement:
I suppose there is no small irony here. I mean, I wonder if Mr Snowden chose China and Russian assistance in his flight from justice because they're such powerful bastions of internet freedom, and I wonder if while he was in either of those countries he raised the question of internet freedom, since that seems to be what he champions.The irony that exists, of course, is that the United States government has been caught hacking and surveilling those same countries. For Kerry to then turn and accuse them of risking a free internet, which wasn't even the crux of what Snowden revealed, is hubris so strong it might just power motor vehicles. What Snowden was actually exposing, of course, was the American government's policy of subversive collection of communications data globally. Sure, you can point to the Chinese and Russian governments and say they don't have a free and open internet, though I'd caution levying that charge against Hong Kong. Of course you can say that they have similar spying programs in place, too. But this isn't about China and Russia, it's about America and what Snowden revealed.
The lesson here is that Snowden can't turn into another Assange. The cult of personality is the worst kind of celebrity worship, since it distracts so completely our attention from the actual issues in this case. Focus on what is being revealed, not who is revealing it, I'm begging you.

Theatre Aspen Completes Capital Campaign
Theatre Aspen today announced the completion of their two-year, $2MM capital campaign, which supported the building of the new Hurst Theatre and lobby, and significant upgrades to the grounds. This work was undertaken in partnership with the Aspen City Parks Department, as part of a larger renovation to the John Denver Sanctuary in the Rio Grande Park, within which the theatre resides.
The campaign closed with a significant gift from the Goldrich Family Foundation, led by Theatre Aspen board member Melinda Goldrich, as well as significant gifts by Soledad and Robert Hurst, Melanie Sturm and Marc Zachary and ANB Bank, Jessica and John Fullerton, Darlynn and Tom Fellman, Kimberly and Brad Schlosser, Alex Kaufman and Terri and Tony Caine. Major campaign donors also include Stefan Edlis and Gael Neeson, Betty and Bob Gates, Mandy Gray and Randy Work, Maureen and Dan Holman, Lexie and Robert Potamkin and Jamie Alexander Tisch. Additional closing gifts were made by Norelle and Brian Becker, and Jim and Brenda Grusecki. Charles Cunniffe Architects and Silich Construction also donated all of the architectural and building fees for the project.
Artistic Director Paige Price said, "We are thrilled to finish this project, especially with such big plans to celebrate our 30th Anniversary this year. LES MISERABLES is a huge, expensive undertaking, and we are launching new programs this year, so now we need to focus on what lies ahead."
This month the theatre received the Non Profit of the Year Award and also began a year-long celebration of the organization's 30th Anniversary. The theatre originated in 1983, as the Theatre Under the Jerome (Hotel), by actor Kent Reed, who still resides in Aspen and who also directs his company, the Hudson Reed Ensemble.
The new Hurst Theatre is the setting for the 30th Anniversary season, which opens with the Tony Award-winning epic musical LES MISERABLES on June 25th. The season also includes You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, based on the beloved comic strip "Peanuts," by Charles M. Schulz, (July 10th - Aug 18th) and the one-man comedy Fully Committed (July 5th - Aug 16th).
LES MISERABLES will be directed by Carbonell Award-winner Mark Martino. Multiple Emmy Award-winner Jay Sandrich will direct Fully Committed, by Becky Mode and You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown will be directed by Artistic Director Paige Price, with choreography by Broadway veteran JoAnn M. Hunter.
Productions take place in the new Hurst Theatre in Rio Grande Park and will be underwritten by season sponsor ANB Bank, with the generous support of The City of Aspen, Darlynn and Tom Fellman, Jim and Brenda Grusecki, Charles and Nancy Wall, Mandy Gray and Randy Work, Dan and Maureen Holman, Betsy Fifield, Jackie and Jerry Kehle, Kristin Nelson, The Aspen Club and Spa and Les Dames d'Aspen.

Millionaire tax isn't off the table
A certain wave of realism is sweeping through the House Republican ranks: It might be hard to resist a tax rate hike on millionaires.
It's not that they're about to fully embrace President Barack Obama's tax hikes, but many Republican lawmakers privately concede that the 2012 election left them with far short of a mandate on taxes, and if urged by Democrats to raise rates on what they dub the mega-wealthy, they will have a tough time resisting.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Fiscal cliff's key players)
It's a development that should concern Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his leadership team, who have steadfastly refused to entertain a hike in tax rates on anyone.
"I think it will still be a heavy lift," Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) said without dismissing the idea out of hand. "You are going to have to view the whole package to see all what's in it. You get as much as you can, but I still think it will be a heavy lift."
Since the election, Boehner has said House Republicans have a strong mandate to keep tax rates frozen. Not even millionaires, he said, should see an increase in their rates.
But conversations with more than a dozen Republicans — from across the ideological spectrum — tell a different story. Hardly anyone ruled out a tax rate increase on the wealthy.
"I certainly think we have to have an open mind, and that includes any and all scenarios," Florida Rep. Tom Rooney said of fiscal cliff negotiations, noting that he will support Boehner in his negotiations. "Do I believe that higher taxes on small-business owners will help with jobs? Hell no. We have to find a way forward, or we're going to have to go back to our constituencies just like last Congress saying, 'We couldn't come up with anything for this country.'"
This isn't only a fear ricocheting through the rank and file. Some higher-ranking Republicans, including South Carolina Rep. Tim Scott, who was elected to leadership for a second term last week, say they know lawmakers look like they could buckle on a million-dollar threshold.
"Oh, absolutely," Scott said when asked if some of his fellow Republicans will support the increase. "People are actually coming out saying that." Scott said he would oppose tax hikes even if the threshold is raised.
There are a few reasons. Republicans' negotiating strategy is predicated on extending all rates at the same time — not just those under $250,000, like Obama is suggesting. Republicans suggest that letting rates lapse on higher-income earners would hurt small businesses across the country.
If Washington sends the nation pummeling off a fiscal cliff, with tax rates increasing for every single American, because Republicans won't raise the upper rates, lawmakers could once again face constituents fed up with inside-the-Beltway gridlock.

Howdy y'all! So the Knicks play Melo's old team, the Denver Nuggets, at Madison Square Garden tonight. Tonight's rumble will be the Knicks 4th game in 5 nights and they're sure to have some heavy legs. However Carmelo Anthony's return would spark the team, in my humble opinion. It is still unknown whether Anthony will play, but I believe he probably will. In fact, I'd be surprised if he didn't play.
Studying for my finals are brutally abusing me, so I've got to keep the pre-game a bit short today. Here's what you need to know for today's game:
- According basketball reference, the Knicks come into the game with the second best offense in basketball with an offensive rating of 112.77. Denver enters the game with 10th best offense in the league at 107.65.
- Defensively, the Knicks have the league's 10th best defense at a defensive rating of 104.13. Denver has the league's 25th best defense at 107.73. **If you read the site often, you can see that these numbers are higher than what is usually on here. I usually use Hoopdata for O/D rtg stats, but it hasn't been updated the past few days. These numbers are generally higher, due to how they calculate possessions, but the order of the teams is pretty much the same*
- As we all know, the Knicks play at a mighty slow pace. Denver plays at a faster one. As is a key for each game, the Knicks have to keep Denver from controlling the pace of the game. If this is an up and down shootout, odds are the Knicks will perform very poorly on defense. New York needs to keep Denver into a slow, half court matchup.
- Quick point guards have destroyed the Knicks in pick and roll situations this year. Denver's Ty Lawson is one of the quickest point guards in our league. In order to run an efficient defense tonight, the Knicks need to find a way to stay in front of Lawson and not let him get to the rim. Rather than get eaten alive in the pick and roll, the Knicks need to get in front of Lawson and force him into isolations where he is shooting only 23% on the season.
- JaVale McGee and Kenneth Faried are absolute beasts on the boards. Tyson Chandler can't get in foul trouble and whether Kurt (WELP) Sheed or Melo is playing that 4 spot, they've got to work on the glass. Denver is a great shooting team, which should make for a lot of offensive rebound opportunities. New York has to finish defensive possessions tonight or they will lose.
- Denver isn't very good at defending roll men in pick and roll situations, allowing roll men to shoot 57% on the season, so Tyson Chandler should be able to throw some dunks down tonight. Hopefully Denver's lack of prowess in this area will help take some of the scoring load of Raymond Felton's shoulders.
This is a game where the Knicks need Carmelo Anthony. They're going to be tired and may not shoot all that well tonight. Denver isn't a very good defense, but if you look at their roster it is puzzling. They've got tons of athleticism and in theory should be one of the top defenses in the league. Without Melo, I don't know if the Knicks can win. With him, I like their chances.

Book News: Italy Has A New Reality Show — For Writers
The daily lowdown on books, publishing, and the occasional author behaving badly.
- An Italian reality show called Masterpiece that premieres Sunday pits authors against one another to win a book deal. The contestants are given writing challenges and then timed as they type, with their words projected on screens for the audience to see as a clock counts down. The writers then read their work to the judges, who, like in a traditional reality show, kick some contestants off and choose others to move on to the next round. It's easy to find the idea laughable — The New York Times compared it to "the Monty Python sketch in which sports announcers call the play-by-play while Thomas Hardy writes The Return of the Native." But the show's creators have serious aims: to create a class of new literary stars and revive the country's struggling publishing industry. The winner's book will be published by the imprint Bompiani, with a massive initial print run of 100,000 copies.
- For The New Yorker, Ben Tarnoff considers Mark Twain: "When Mark Twain opened his mouth, strange things came tumbling out. Things like hoaxes, jokes, yarns, obscenities, and non sequiturs. He had a drawl — his 'slow talk,' his mother called it — that made his sentences long and sinuous. One reporter described it as a 'little buzz-saw slowly grinding inside a corpse.' Others thought that he sounded drunk."
- Flavorwire rounds up famous authors who posed for advertisements. Particularly delightful are John Steinbeck for Ballantine Ale and Mark Twain for fountain pens.
- Comedian Rob Delaney's memoir is excerpted in The Atlantic: "Three guys died when I was at the halfway house: Chris, Arturo, and Luke. They all died right after I left in pretty quick succession. Each one hurt like a motherf----."
- Tim Parks writes that he's become disenchanted with the novel: "More and more I wonder if it is possible for a novel not to give me the immediate impression of being manipulated toward goals that are predictable and unquestioned: the dilemma, the dramatic crisis, the pathos, the wise sadness, and more in general a suffering made bearable, or even noble through aesthetic form, fine prose, and the conviction that one has lived through something important."

Bonjour Plastiki – New Caledonia, the final stop
Plastiki has arrived safely in New Caledonia after experiencing some challenging weather.
Team Plastiki has been restocking and doing some repairs for their final leg to Sydney. The team will be leaving within days and it is anticipated to take about four days to reach Sydney.
In the last leg Plastiki experienced 3 to 4 metre swells which meant nearly everything got wet. In the high winds the sails were ripped and needed to be repaired. It is likely the team will experience more challenging weather as they head to our shores.
I hope the team is enjoying their warm break because it is certainly going to be a bit of a shock arriving here in the middle of winter!
As soon as they leave New Caledonia I will let you know.
Go team Plastiki!

The impulse to gather and record family history has led to a parallel trend, namely to share that information via the Internet. One of the most useful — and influential — of the Web sites for such sharing is Rootsweb.com. This free site helps you find family information contributed by others as well as ways to share what you have gathered.
The first feature is the most obvious — the Search Rootsweb.com search box on the home page, adjacent to a search box for the well known pay-to-use service, Ancestry.com.
If you are searching for an ancestor with a common name such as Robert Brown or Mary Jones, you will get many individuals on the results page. At the bottom of the results page, however, is an advanced search tool that allows you to narrow the scope of the search using birth place and year or similar biographical facts.
If you seek an ancestor with a less common name, you will get just a few results. For example, I did a search for Clara Hachez, one of my maternal great-grandmothers. That turned up just one result, but exactly the person I sought.
The result for Clara Hachez includes three helpful facts: the name of her father Ferdinand Hachez, the name including maiden name of her mother Eliese Boie, and the name of her husband Wilhelm H. Luehr, more typically known as William H. Luehr.
A result screen may also include the date and place of birth and date and place of death. It all depends on the information the contributor has to share via Rootsweb.com. When you click on the name of the person you want, you will get a more detailed page that may include some or all of the person's children.
And, you typically will find the name of the contributor and their email address in a graphic format. This provides an individual you may want to correspond with to share more information.
You can also view the individual pages for related persons, in this case Clara's father, mother, husband and two children: Lucille M. Luehr and Robert W. Luehr.
When using these Rootsweb.com results, remember that these are not original source documents. Often there is no source given for the facts stated. But you will now have a wealth of information to guide your continued research — a set of facts that you can confirm via vital records and other documents.
There are many more tools at the Rootsweb.com site, to be discussed in future entries on Relative Musings.
This is one in a series of genealogy and family history research ideas to help you find your family and ancestors for modest or no cost.

Flu and pneumonia killed 1,400 in Kansas last year
With flu activity increasing and family and friends gathering for the holidays, Kansas Department of Health and Environment is urging all Kansans to receive a flu vaccine this week.
Dec. 8-14 is National Influenza Vaccination Week, KDHE said in a press release. It said the recognition should be a reminder that everyone is responsible for preventing the spread of influenza. Based on data from the Outpatient Influenza-like Illness Surveillance Network, flu activity currently is low in the state. However, flu activity usually increases this time of year before peaking in January or February.
On average, 5 to 20 percent of Americans get the flu each year, with more than 200,000 people hospitalized because of complications. Influenza and pneumonia contributed to the death of 1,444 Kansans in the 2012-13 influenza season.
"Flu season is here, and before it becomes widespread, take the opportunity to get your vaccine now," said Dr. Robert Moser, KDHE secretary. "Getting a flu vaccination is also a great way to protect those who are at high risk."
Nearly everyone 6 months or older is urged to get a flu vaccine every year. Vaccination is especially important to protect those at high risk of complications, including young children, pregnant women, adults 65 or older, and anyone with chronic health conditions like asthma, heart disease, and diabetes.
People caring for or in regular contact with babies younger than 6 months should also be immunized, because babies that age are too young to be vaccinated and are more vulnerable to complications from influenza.
In addition to getting a vaccine, covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands, and staying home when sick are steps people can take to avoid spreading the flu.
Symptoms of influenza include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, and muscle aches. Complications can include pneumonia, ear and sinus infections, and dehydration.
People seeking a vaccine should contact their health care provider or Marion County Health Department at (620) 382-2550.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Carlos Gonzalez likes the chatter. He doesn't mind talking trash around the batting cage or getting razzed. With many of the Rockies' position players already practicing, CarGo took BP Wednesday in the first group. There were several teammates around the cage giving him a hard time after he hit a ball into the top of the net. Then CarGo hit a ball that nearly reached the Talking Stick Resort across the 101 Highway.
Suddenly it got quiet. Real quiet. It was a reminder that CarGo is always capable of doing something few can duplicate. Here's a look at one of his rounds on Wednesday.
