In a discussion about Turn, a fellow history blogger commented, "If I was king, I would create a series similar to HBO's Band of Brothers based off John Buchanan's The Road to Guilford Courthouse."
As a Southern Campaign guy, I would love to see something like this happen. The expansive canvas of a cable miniseries is perfectly suited to tell the story of the war in the Carolinas.
For the past week, I've been wondering which actors could play the major roles. The only one I could come up with is James McAvoy for Patrick Ferguson. McAvoy is Scottish, he's close to the age Ferguson was in 1780, and I think he could convey something of Ferguson's intelligence and determination.
Other than that, I'm stumped. I tried to come up with a suitable Greene, Cornwallis, Morgan, Tarleton, Sumter, and Marion, but I've got nothing.
I thought especially hard about who might play Isaac Shelby and John Sevier. There aren't many thirty-something American actors working today who could sell me on the notion that a regiment of unruly frontiersmen would follow them across the mountains and into a hail of musket balls. Something tells me the Overmountain Men wouldn't have been too impressed with Channing Tatum or Hayden Christensen.
Help us out here, Gordon: Who could really bring Nolichucky Jack to life?

Spending, eating and drinking habits give clues about your political views.
You are what you eat, in more ways than one. That is to say, the burger you grab on the run and the beer you pop open while watching your favorite television show gives consumer researchers clues about your political ideology. But some of our consumer choices reflect a deeper connection to the brands we know and love, one that goes beyond mere habit and becomes a part of our self-image.
That deeper connection is one of the reasons that comments by Chick-fil-A's chief executive struck such a chord, both with liberals who took issue with Dan Cathy's opposition to same-sex marriage and with conservatives who lined up for a chicken sandwich on an appreciation day organized by evangelical leaders like former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.
Consumer researchers have found a strong correlation between our spending, eating, and drinking habits and our political actions. If you eat at Chick-fil-A restaurants, Cracker Barrel, or Arby's, you're more likely to vote for Republicans, according to consumer data. Democrats are much more likely to get their chicken from Popeyes or Boston Market, shop at Whole Foods, and grab sliders from White Castle.
"The same factors that explain partisanship and voter turnout explain consumer behaviors in general," says Will Feltus, a marketing expert who has worked on Republican campaigns for years. Put another way: The brands we prefer, whether for a quick takeout meal or for sipping while we watch our favorite football team on Sunday, are a function of our shared experience: We tend to drive, eat, and drink what our friends drive, eat and drink, and we tend to shop where our friends shop.
People "choose to live around people who are like them, think like them, act like them, and that's reinforced when different stores and restaurants choose to locate in those areas," says Ken Strasma, a Democratic micro-targeting expert. Some corporations are more closely connected to specific communities. Chick-fil-A, which is closed on Sundays and has long cultivated its image as a Southern company with traditional Christian values, is one of those corporations. So when it finds itself under attack, its fans tend to believe their very way of life is being threatened.
Politicians can take advantage of those correlations to send a message about their own identities. It's no accident that, in the days that followed calls to boycott Chick-fil-A, conservatives such as Sarah Palin showed up for supportive photo ops, or that Texas Senate candidate Ted Cruz served the chain's signature sandwiches at his election-night victory party. "Chick-fil-A people vote at a higher rate, which means they're going to pay attention to somebody who's dragging their favorite fast-food restaurant into a political tug-of-war," Feltus said.
Some of those correlations are becoming an integral part of the way both political parties identify and target voters. In 2004, George W. Bush's campaign ran advertisements on networks that fed into gyms, where they could reach fitness-minded voters on the treadmill. This year, President Obama's campaign is running spots on such shows as Judge Judy, which reaches a disproportionate number of stay-at-home mothers and Hispanics. A local candidate can find more high-propensity voters at an upscale shopping center than they would at a strip mall.
It's no surprise that many correlations fit with stereotypes that already exist: Americans who drive Jaguars are very likely to turn out to vote, and when they do, they cast Republican ballots. Those who own hybrid vehicles or Subarus are highly likely to be Democratic voters. It wasn't a coincidence that Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus spotlighted Caribou Coffee when he blasted Obama administration officials for taking meetings with lobbyists outside the White House campus, meetings that weren't disclosed on visitor logs. Our deep ideological divisions have become intertwined with our daily lives, to the extent that a fast food-restaurant can become a rallying point for heated political debate, or a stereotype to easily pigeonhole an opponent as a "latte liberal."
A corporation's understanding of its own customer base drives decisions about where to locate new stores, helping explain some of the divide between red brands and blue brands. David Wasserman, of the Cook Political Report, has called the 2012 election a contest between Whole Foods and Cracker Barrel, two outlets whose customers largely represent opposite sides of the political divide.
In 2008, President Obama carried 81 percent of the counties that have a Whole Foods outpost. He won only 36 percent of the counties that have a Cracker Barrel, according to Wasserman's figures. Just 60 counties in America have both a Whole Foods and a Cracker Barrel. Most of the Cracker Barrel counties Obama won also have a Whole Foods outlet.
"Corporations, even those that try to steer clear of politics, still need to know the partisan structure of their consumer base," Feltus said. That means Whole Foods is more likely to locate its new stores in wealthier, more urban or suburban settings, while Cracker Barrel is more likely to choose exurban or rural areas along a major interstate, in order to best find their target demographics.
Many of the habits we develop appear to shed light on our cultural divide. Feltus and his firm, National Media, based just outside Washington, have crunched reams of consumer data to build fascinating profiles of voter behavior. Democrats tune in to such sitcoms as 30 Rock and The Simpsons, or news programs such as 60 Minutes and 20/20. Republicans dial in to football or crime dramas such as NCIS and Bones. Democratic beer drinkers prefer Miller High Life, Milwaukee's Best, Corona, Heineken, and Tecate — a mix of beverages favored by Hispanics and hipsters. Republican tipplers most often reach for Michelob Ultra and anything described as "light," beers one might drink while watching a football game.
"I've spent a long time trying to figure out, why is Heineken Democratic? Because when I went to college years ago, the only guy who could afford to buy Heineken, his daddy owned the Dallas Cowboys," Feltus said. "Heineken is now a cool beer that competes with Corona for the twentysomethings that have an extra buck for a beer."
In 2004, an Illinois state senator named Barack Obama burst onto the national scene with an inspiring call for unity at the Democratic National Convention. "There is not a liberal America and a conservative America," Obama said. "There is the United States of America."
He was wrong. If anything, the country is more divided than ever — ideologically, politically, culturally, and even over chicken sandwiches.

The Cubs have fired Mike Quade. Theo Epstein broke the news to Quade in person. Given the length of time the new leadership spent meeting with Quade, I think it's a sign that the front office seriously considered the possibility of keeping him on (or at least didn't enter the situation with their minds made up) and/or that Quade was pretty cooperative in informing the new regime about his read on the team. Whatever was said, the way this has transpired reflects positively on everyone involved. I'm halfway between good luck and good riddance on his departure.
Along with that news come reports of the first casualty in the managerial search. Ryne Sandberg can already scratch his name off the list of candidates. In another class move, Epstein reached out through Phillies personnel to inform Ryno of this news and to ask that he personally do the name-scratching-off of the officially official list.
It's a new day, Cubs fans. Well, technically the day's more than half over, but figuratively speaking, it's a new day in Cubdom.

This September environment minister Jean-Louis Borloo will announce the areas and offer tenders for around 3GW.
France needs to ramp up its annual installations substantially if it is to meet its European commitment that by 2020 at least 23% of final energy consumption will come from renewable sources.
To achieve this target, wind is expected to provide around 25GW of installed capacity, of which 6GW will eventually be offshore.
Although France is the fourth largest wind market last year, developers continue to run up against planning and administrational difficulties in dealing with local government.
The industry is also concerned about other tabled amendments to Grenelle 2, which could further hamper the development of onshore wind farms.

Supercompetent Speaking: Presenting to Large Audiences
By Laura Stack, MBA, CSP
By now, you surely know the basics for successfully presenting a pitch, speech, workshop, or seminar to any audience:
- Careful preparation
- Ample rehearsal
- A professional appearance
- Solid credibility
- Compelling delivery
- Plenty of enthusiasm
When presenting to larger audience—those numbering into the hundreds or thousands—there are some additional dynamics to consider. Everything that applies to smaller audiences still applies, but you'll want to consider a few other factors as well before you go on stage.
First of all, don't assume that presenting to a large audience is always harder than presenting to a small one. In some ways, it can be easier! Large audiences often mean better time control (due to the unpredictability of group dynamics in interactive sessions), shorter presentations (an audience can't go much longer than 75 to 90 minutes without needing a break), and fewer questions to answer (the audience is either too large or Q&A is not offered).
On the other hand, there are some factors that make a large audience more difficult. The consequences of making mistakes increase with the audience size, as there's more influence represented by numbers. I find it harder to connect with audience members. I recently gave a keynote presentation for 12,500 people, and with the spotlight in your eyes and a huge stage, you can't even see people.
So what do you do instead?
- Hook the audience quickly and thoroughly. The more people you face, the more easily boredpeople you face. People are so distracted today, if you're not interesting and compelling, they will leave the room to deal with something more pressing. Begin with a stirring anecdote, explosive fact, or startling statistic. Project your voice so all can hear, but vary your vocal delivery in terms of speed, timing, and volume, without speaking in a monotone. Make sure everyone can see the screen where you'll project your graphics. Choose strong examples, eye-catching visuals, and engaging stories.
- Address someone toward the back of the room. With larger audiences and bright stage lights in your eyes, you can't see individual audience members very well. As a result, you won't be able to make eye contact with most of the people in the room. Instead, try to "speak" to audience members in the back of the room. Talking "to the back" keeps your head and eyes up, making you appear more alert and confident.
- Don't overdo the stage. Because of the large platform, which will get larger with the size of the audience, you might be tempted to "work the stage." I've seen speakers race back and forth like caged tigers, while the person behind the camera tries vainly to track them, and audience members grow ill from the image on the iMag moving about crazily. You don't have to be a spaz on stage to keep the audience's attention. Instead, remember your image is projected in full on the iMag, and talk to the camera. Act like you're talking with one person. Make your gestures "larger," but don't resort to running around like a maniac to try to "fill" the stage.
- Provide a little entertainment value. Be unique and memorable. You don't have to do a vaudeville routine, but injecting humor will be much appreciated by audience members. Make your energy and enthusiasm for the subject abundantly clear. Keep your presentation upbeat and positive. Get out from behind your podium and work the stage—you may even want to go out into the audience as I do if you're comfortable. Practice "being spontaneous" in advance; Mark Twain, who was almost as well known for his lectures as for his books, once quipped that it took him a good three weeks of rehearsal to achieve spontaneity.
- Arrive early and stay late. This is basic, but it's especially important with large audiences. Arriving early allows you to check over the stage layout and "feel" in advance, and it also lets you mingle with the crowd and acquaint yourself with people as they arrive. If your travel arrangements allow, don't rush out right after your closing comments; instead, mingle with your now-fans, who most certainly will come up to greet and compliment you, to network and answer questions.
As speakers, we all want to be so riveting that no one will ever look away, fidget, or check their e-mail (ha ha ha ha!); obviously that doesn't happen often in reality. So don't let it get to you if not everyone pays attention 100 percent of the time. While understanding this truth, you must still keep an eye on your audience members' body language. If you seem to be losing them, put these tips into play, and step it up a bit. They won't be distracted by anything but their brains, thinking about all the action steps they'll take as a result of your brilliant comments.

Arysta LifeScience Acquires French-Based Company Goëmar
A common vision towards Bioperformance® leadership
Arysta LifeScience Limited has announced today the acquisition of the Goëmar group from BeCapital and Pechel Industries. Goëmar is headquartered in Saint-Malo, France, and is a global manufacturer and supplier of biostimulation, biocontrol and innovative nutrition for plants, including Physio ActivatorTM and Natural Defense technologies.
This acquisition builds on Arysta LifeScience's biosolutions platform, originally developed from the GBM (Grupo Bioquímico Mexicano) acquisition in 2007, along with their biocontrol portfolio, NPP (Natural Plant Protection), with globally recognized products such as ATONIK®, BIOZYME® and CARPOVIRUSINE®.
The two companies have already been working together to cross-market their biosolutions offerings in Europe, in addition to several commercial partnerships in high-growth countries, including India and Mexico.
Goëmar brings to Arysta LifeScience over 40 years of research and technical expertise in biosolutions, with a broad portfolio of highly differentiated products, cutting-edge innovation, and an industry-leading commercial organization with complementary competencies and geographic reach.
"Arysta LifeScience's objective is to strengthen its leadership position in biosolutions, while also maximizing the synergies with traditional crop protection solutions," said Wayne Hewett, CEO of Arysta LifeScience. "The acquisition of Goëmar is a key pillar for Arysta LifeScience's continued growth in the rapidly expanding biosolutions space, with an aligned vision and passion towards this market."
"We are excited to join Arysta LifeScience and to continue to execute our vision towards Bioperformance leadership in agriculture," added Jean-Pierre Princen, Goëmar Chief Executive Officer. "The complementary nature of the two enterprises will provide additional capabilities to continue the tremendous growth we have experienced over the recent years. In addition, the combined strength of the two portfolios in biostimulation and biocontrol establishes a leading global player in these dynamic and growing segments."
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

In short, La Palma offers a multi-adventure experience. On land, you'll find mountain bike routes on which to enjoy high-speed descents, but also pleasant rides across the volcanic plains. You can also tour the island on horseback, or explore its trails on foot. La Palma is a hikers' paradise and offers a thousand and one possibilities for following paths that are steeped in history, culture and tradition. In the sea, the most spectacular activity awaiting you is scuba diving –for example on the Fuencaliente coast, where you'll find black coral and crystalline waters teeming with a whole host of living organisms. In the air? Try your hand at paragliding, making the most of the wind on the Llanos of Aridane plain. More? Yes, there's more, because La Palma is also famous for caving, with caverns such as those at Villa de Mazo. It's also a safe place for canyoning and climbing in places such as the Barranco de Grajos and Barranco de la Madera canyons.

Castello di Amorosa wine train excursion fit for a king
As the only winery in the world with an actual torture chamber, guests better behave at Castello di Amorosa, a medieval-style castle nestled in a 30-acre vineyard in Calistoga, created over 12 obsessive years by the great-grandson of one of California's first wine families.
Built by European castle restoration experts with 8,000 tons of hand-chiseled stone and more than 1 million antique bricks imported from torn-down Hapsburg palaces, the 107-room Tuscan castle has a moat, drawbridge, five towers, a fireplace predating Christopher Columbus, secret passageways, a knights' chamber with suits of armor, and wine presses dating from the 13th century.
All the ironwork, every nail and hinge, and each leaded window was handcrafted.
"This has been a dream of mine for 30 years, and I didn't want people to laugh at me, like it was some Disney thing. It had to be done right," says castle mastermind Dario Sattui, 71, owner of V. Sattui Winery in Napa, and great-grandson to its namesake, Vittorio, who started one of California's first wineries, in San Francisco in 1885.
Sattui lowered the drawbridge in 2007, and visitors have been streaming in since to taste his Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot grown on site, as well as the Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Gewurztraminer he makes through V. Sattui. There are two acres of barrel cellars and tasting rooms beneath the castle.
Now, the Napa Valley Wine Train offers an excursion to Castello di Amorosa. Starting a year ago, passengers have been able to take a leisurely ride in the antique Pullman train cars, dining on gourmet meals and sipping wines on their way to a medieval adventure.
"The Wine Train is an icon in the valley. We are going on our 25th year, and the castle is quickly becoming an icon in Napa, so it made sense to team up," says Tony Giaccio, Napa Valley Wine Train CEO.
"Customers on the train step back in time 100 years, then you get to the castle and you time travel back another 500 years."
Stay with the group
The Wine Train offers a daily trip for 16 people to the castle, and is booked several weeks in advance. The outing is so popular that Giaccio says a second daily castle tour might be added next year.
Wine Train visitors are met at the castle by a tour guide - and are warned repeatedly to stay with the group. The 142,000-square-foot castle has eight floors, four of them subterranean labyrinths of dim tunnels lined with wine barrels. People have gotten lost - and stayed lost for a lot longer than was comfortable.
Sattui, who lives in a house on the property, is at the castle daily, and occasionally gives impromptu tours. His pride is palpable, as he points out the care he took to make the castle look old - building cannon damage into the facades and bricked-over windows to indicate renovations over the centuries.
He's always asked why he built a $40 million castle, and the answer is a simple truism - all kids love castles.
"Everyone has a fantasy," he says. "I like to live mine."
In 1989, while taking Italian language classes in Rome, he became enchanted with farmhouses in Tuscany and Umbria that had been abandoned in the 1960s by agrarian families who had migrated to cities, looking for an easier life.
He found himself wandering, some would say trespassing, the countryside to photograph and sketch archways and doors and ceiling tiles.
It was an easy jump from farmhouses to castles. He even posed as a potential buyer so he could get real estate agents to unlock the ones he couldn't "visit" solo.
"Looking back, maybe I should have been an architect," Sattui says.
He drew all the designs for Castello di Amorosa. He tracked down an Austrian who was expert in building cross-vaulted medieval brick ceilings. He assembled a team of builders and Italian fresco painters, and started construction in 1995.
Along the way, he nearly ran out of money, lost friendships, made new ones, wrangled with flummoxed county building code enforcers, and lost a lot of sleep worrying he had gone crazy, like that lady Winchester and her Mystery House in San Jose.
Now, Europeans tell him daily that what he has done is bravissimo.
'Preserving the old ways'
"He is preserving knowledge. You can't build this with computers - it's masters and apprentices preserving the old ways of doing things," says visitor Emanuela Gay of Mill Valley, who grew up in Torino, Italy, and remembers the old castles in her neighborhood.
Pixar rented Castello di Amorosa for 2,600 guests to celebrate the world premiere of the film "Brave." Actor Adam Sandler shot scenes for "Bedtime Stories" there, and Bon Jovi performed in the castle courtyard for members of the wine club. The castle was featured in an episode of "The Bachelor."
"We have some great parties," Sattui says, adding that wine club members have been invited to joust in the knights' chamber.
The torture chamber is a hit at Halloween. The rack, the cranium crusher and all the menacing tools are replicas, except for the show-stopper - a "gently used" bronze iron maiden from the late Renaissance. Sattui found it at an antique store in Arezzo.
"The idea was to puncture the victims, but not kill them right away," Sattui says, putting his finger on the sharp point of one of the interior daggers.
"After several days, if the victim was still alive, often a fire would be lit below and the victim would be burned alive while being pierced."
By that point in the tour, many stunned guests were ready for a drink. Sattui was only too happy to oblige.

It was a valiant effort, but it was all for naught.
After ABC canceled long-running soap operas "One Life to Live" and "All My Children," the fan outrage was momentarily sated when a production company called Prospect Park announced that they were going to continue producing episodes of the two series online.
Well, not anymore.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Prospect Park heads Rich Frank and Jeff Kwatinez released a joint statement today, confirming that their plans to re-up "One Life" and "Children" have stalled indefinitely.
"After five months of negotiations with various guilds, hundreds of presentations to potential financial and technology partners, and a hope that we could pioneer a new network for the future, it is with great disappointment that we are suspending our aspirations to revive 'One Life to Live' and 'All My Children' via online distribution," the statement reads.
"While we narrowed in on a financial infrastructure, the contractual demands of the guilds, which regulate our industry, coupled with the program's inherent economic challenges ultimately led to this final decision," they continued. "In the end, the constraints of the current marketplace, including the evolution and impact of new media on our industry simply proved too great a match for even our passion."
It was rumored that "All My Children" stalwart Susan Lucci was behind the delay, but the actress has vehemently denied the accusations.
"There has been miscommunications as a result of statements in the press that I am one of the reasons that 'All My Children' is not moving forward. This is simply untrue and not the case," says Lucci in an official statement.
The soaps were TV staples for over 40 years, but were axed by ABC to make way for reality programming and talk shows.

I'm posting this because I find it will be useful for a lot of people, you can link here if you need (an article about this would be useful too). You can use this method to backup your files from Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, and I assume it will work for Windows 8 too.
First, you need to have a Windows 7 Install DVD. If you don't have one, you can get an official ISO image from this link:
You need to burn this to a DVD, or to create a bootable USB drive (with at least 4 GB). To do so you can use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool provided by Microsoft:
Instructions to use this tool can be found here:
Once you have a bootable DVD or USB, insert it in your PC and reboot. You will see a "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" message. If you don't you will need to select the DVD or USB as your boot device. To do so you will need to press a key at the screen with the logo of the manufacturer of your PC. This depends on the manufacturer: for HP this is typically ESC or F9, for Dell you must press F12, and so on.
Once you boot from your DVD or USB, you will see a "Windows is loading files" message, followed by the Windows 7 "Starting Windows" boot screen. Next you will be presented with this screen. Select your keyboard layout and click "Next":
Then select "Repair your computer":
Let the system search for Windows installations. Then click "Next":
If no Windows installations were found (or if you use Windows XP), you will be presented with this "Select a system image backup" error message. Just click "Cancel" on both windows:
Anyways, you will get to this "System Recovery Options" screen. From here you could attempt to use System Restore or Startup Repair to see if you can fix your PC. To backup your files, select "Command Prompt":
Type "notepad" and press Enter. Notepad will open:
Go to File - Open. On the "Files of type" box select "All files":
Now you can go to "Computer" (at the left) to see your partitions:
Locate the files you want to backup, right-click on them and select "Copy". Typically your files will be at C:\Documents and Settings\UserName in a Windows XP environment, and at C:\Users\UserName in a Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation:
Insert an external HDD or USB drive, go to "Computer" again, and paste them there. Note you won't see any progress dialog:
Be careful not to double click a file, or it will open in Notepad. If Notepad freezes, you can go back to the Command Prompt, type "taskmgr" and use the Task Manager to end Notepad, then start again:
When you are done, close everything and restart your computer:
Please note, if you have a LOT of files to backup, this Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) will restart itself every 24 hours (but this should not be a problem to anyone, I say this just in case).

Company's distribution system called for formulations it could sell in environmentally conscious Southern California
A patchwork quilt of tightening environmental regulations governing the air emissions from protective coatings—also known as industrial maintenance coatings—can be challenging for specification writers, especially when so many changes are anticipated but still in development. Sherman-Williams is now offering a complete product line that meets the requirements of Southern California, the most restrictive jurisdiction.
Madelyn Harding, corporate manager of regulatory affairs at Sherwin-Williams, says two years ago the company needed to prepare to supply its stores in Southern California with product, where South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) rules stipulate volatile organic compound (VOC) limits of 100 grams per liter (g/L) for industrial maintenance coatings.
"With the coatings industry's broadest distribution system, Sherwin-Williams invested early on in the environmentally responsible technologies necessary to comply with SCAQMD's stringent VOC limits," Harding said. She said these limits are much lower than anywhere else in North America.
"Specifiers working on projects today that could be affected in the future by anticipated, but still pending, emissions limits should know Sherwin-Williams is a resource," Harding said. "We have a complete product line of time-tested formulations—in acrylics, alkyds, epoxies, urethanes and zincs—that are compliant under even the most restrictive regulatory scenario."
Harding indicated that the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC), which has jurisdiction over 12 mid-Atlantic states and the District of Columbia, is expected to lower its current limits of 340 g/L to 250 g/L in the foreseeable future, and Canada has a proposal for 340 g/L that will become effective by the end of 2009. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is developing a proposed national rule with a 340 g/L limit, to be effective January 2010.
Sherwin-Williams offers a solvent-based alkyd topcoat—Pro Industrial Industrial Enamel 100—that is compliant at 100 g/L, an extremely difficult level to achieve in an alkyd, Harding noted. It is also free of the air toxics known as hazardous air pollutants (HAPS), as are the majority of other Sherwin-Williams protective coatings products.

Littleton's Corie Mae Callaluca flies out to Arizona on Wednesday to prepare for the Super Bowl where she and her cheerleading teammates will surely lead the fans and the team to victory.
With 400 to 500 applicants for 24 spots, becoming a cheerleader for the New England Patriots is as tough or tougher than getting into a top-flight college.
Littleton resident Corie Mae Callaluca made the cut, and is heading to Arizona this week to participate in the Super Bowl.
Nicknamed C-Mae, she is a rookie, or first year cheerleader who comes from Littleton where her father and "a ton of friends" still live. She is a student at Southern New Hampshire University who will graduate in May with a degree in small business management.
"I still can't believe it," said Callaluca, a lifelong football fan with a background in dance.
She said there were 11 openings last year when she auditioned, and 300 young women tried out.
"It was a long stretch," she said. "It wasn't easy. It was a vigorous, competitive tryout with all different types of dances."Callaluca said she will have a three-year gig with the Patriots.
She's been dancing since preschool, she said. She is now in her last semester of college, and spends about 20 hours a week with the Pats and the other half of her week working at her internship and studying.
Within the Patriots organization, she especially enjoys the competition-free culture among the cheerleaders.
"We are one big family," said Callaluca. "There is no drama, no cattiness. We care about each other."
She said the cheerleading coach keeps the team small and close, and they all go out on the field for every game. If you hurt yourself, Callaluca said, you deal with it.
"She trusts that we will practice and take care of ourselves," Callaluca said.
"It's just a blast," she said. "I'm out there with 24 of my best friends. Every game is an amazing event."
As if the story couldn't get any better: the Giants have no cheerleaders."It will be all about us," said Callaluca.
She said although she has met the Krafts, team owners, there is a "separation" between the team and the cheerleaders.
"Starting in September, we go out and do our job and they do theirs," she said.
She said the day after a game, "you can be a little sore," but you don't make a big deal out of it. The team has 13 routines that they will mount in their "signature uniform," a halter-top, short shorts, and white boots with 3-inch heels.
Callaluca said she keeps in touch with her Littleton friends, and she will be thinking of them as she runs out on the field at the Super Bowl.
Her father, Peter Callaluca, said Corie Mae started dancing when she was about 4 years old.
He said she danced at the TaDah! Studio in Westford and became a cheerleader with the Manchester Arena Football Team before competing for one of 11 spots on the Patriots squad last year. Her dad said 300 others came out for tryouts.
"It was a long stretch," said Peter. "It wasn't easy. It's a very rigorous competition with all different types of dancing."
But according to her father, every day with the team is a dream come true.
"She said whenever she steps on the field, it's a surreal experience," said Peter. "She described it as a rush of adrenalin with all the excitement.""I am so proud of her," said Peter.
He has gone to about seven games during the season, although he won't be going to the Super Bowl.
Her bio information on the team Web site reveals that her favorite foods are "chicken parm and Kimball's Ice Cream."

Banned Baby Names: How to Keep Yours From Landing on The List
Jan 2013
Over the weekend on Weekend Today , The Bump took to the TV screen to bring some of the latest (and most salacious!) baby naming news to households around the country. Whether you're trying to think of a unique moniker for your bundle (check out our color-inspired list!) or curious to see what your baby's name means, you won't believe that in some countries of the world certain names are banned.
But first, let's talk about our favorite names of the moment — the unconventional monikers that keep popping up all over. Since parents don't want to pick a name for their babe that everyone else is choosing, they're trying to come up with more unique, special names that make their children stand out. Wondering who takes the cake when it comes to original names? Celebrities! That's right, names like Blue Ivy (Beyonce and Jay-Z's adorable baby girl), Zuma Nesta Rock (Gwen Stefani's youngest son), Honor and Haven (Jessica Alba's daughters), Tennessee (Reese Witherspoon's son), Olive (Drew Barrymore's baby girl), Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo (Victoria and David Beckham's boys names) and Maxwell Drew (Jessica Simpson's little girl) have definitely raised the bar on how out-of-the-box naming can be.
The trick to picking a name that's different from all the rest is thinking long-term. Sure, Junior might be adorable for when baby is just that — a baby — but it might not look so hot on a resume. Think about it like this: a name isn't just for the moment: it's forever. We especially love Harper Renn (Tiffani Thiessen's daughter's name) and Jackson Riley, Jim Carey's son's name).
But now let's talk about the banned names. Yeah, banned. As in, no, you can never use 'em, not even for a second.
Most countries that do ban names rarely give a specific reason as to why — it's usually because they're too confusing, too gender-netural, or too threatening to the child or to the culture. Countries like Sweden keep control over names by making all names subject to a naming law. (Names like Lego and Google are okay, but Superman, Metallica and Elvis are banned by Swedes!)
Just last year, New Zealand made headlines by banning the name Lucifer after receiving three individual requests from parents. And that's not the only name the Kiwi's have dropped. Over the past two years they've rejected 102 names including: Messiah, 4Real, Yeah Detroit, Kennan Got Lucy, Sex Fruit, 69, Baron, Bishop, Duke, Judge, Justice, King and Knight. In Japan, parents were banned from using the name Akuma, which literally means Devil.
While we're not really sure why you'd pick 'Yeah Detroit' as your child's name, we suggest picking a name that flows together when you say it out loud. 'Yeah Detroit James' doesn't really do it for us.
How did you pick your child's name?

This blog started its life as a place for me to document my journey into raw foods. It has kind of broadened its horizon's since then and become a general blog about my day-to-day life and just lately our road trip through Europe.
However, my raw food journey continues and I thought today might be a good opportunity to bring you up to speed with where I am at.
Living on the road means that most areas of our life have become simpler – out of necessity as well as desire. Raw food is as simple as it gets right – well yes for the most part that's true, but some raw food uncooking does take a lot of time and effort to create. I no longer have the luxury of having a big prep area for my creating and so simple is very definitely the flavour of the day for me now.
I did bring my dehydrator with me but I haven't used it yet as making foods that take 24 hours plus to dehydrate doesn't seem to fall into the category of 'simple' anymore. I'm sure I will use it for special occasions but for me the onus is now on creating quick, simple and delicious raw meals. (Did I mention simple!)
So, today I spent some time doing just that. I experimented with making two versions of 'protein power balls' – sound intriguing don't they?? I made both a sweet and a savoury version as follows:-
The sweet version was 'Blueberry and Carob' and for these I simply mixed the following ingredients in a food processor until I had a dough like mixture.
- Pecan nuts
- Dates
- Carob Powder
- Fresh Blueberries
- Pinch of Himalayan rock salt
Once mixed I made small balls which I then rolled in either shredded coconut or a finely milled mix of sunflower, pumpkin and flaxseed. Yummy.
The savoury version was 'Garlic and Spirulina and the ingredients were:-
- Walnuts
- Sun dried tomatoes
- Mushrooms
- Garlic
- Spirulina powder
- Himalayan rock salt
Same process to make and I also rolled these in the fine seed mix.
The third and final thing I made today was 'Coconut and Goji Berry Muesli'. The ingredients for this were:-
- Pecans and hazelnuts
- Shredded coconut
- Oat Grouts
- Goji Berries
- Pinch of Himalayan rock salt.
I whizzed all the ingredients together in the food processor until broken down but not finely ground. Then I simply stored in an airtight mason jar. I will either have this for breakfast with fresh fruit and a nut milk or use as a crumble topping.
So, there you have three quick and easy recipes that meet my criteria for simplicity and more importantly taste. Pictures of the power balls below……
Blueberry and Carob Power Balls
Garlic and Spirulina Power Balls
Now I know that both versions look pretty much the same but there was a difference in colour. The garlic and Spirulina balls actually came out a sort of 'Shrek' green colour – emmmmm……nice!!! (actually they taste delicious)
Post note: Hubby seems very taken with the sweet version of the power balls and has already chomped his way through four of them. At this rate they won't be lasting very long…….


text: A better understanding of the pathology of a severe form of dwarfism, as well as a possible window of treatment, have been discovered by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth). The preclinical research was published in the May 2014 issue of the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) is a disorder that affects the cells in the growth plate, resulting in dwarfism, limb deformities, joint pain, and early-onset osteoarthritis. Children with PSACH show no signs of it at birth. Slowing of the long bone growth begins around age 2 and the cellular damage becomes extensive by age 4. The disorder is caused by mutations in the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) that is situated near cells known as chondrocytes, which play a key role in bone formation. "By the time patients are in their late 20s, many have had both knees and hips replaced. They have severe joint pain and their mobility is very restricted," said first author Karen Posey, Ph.D., assistant professor of pediatrics at the UTHealth Medical School. Previous studies of PSACH have been limited, relying on cultured PSACH cells or samples taken from human biopsies, and have not led to the development of feasible treatment options. Researchers recognized that they need a better method to study the disorder, which affects approximately 1 in 30,000 people. "We generated a mouse with the human COMP gene that contains the most common mutation causing PSACH. Similarly to how the disease manifests in humans, these genetically engineered mice appear normal at birth, but later show symptoms of PSACH, giving us a unique opportunity to potentially pinpoint when changes occur and when treatment may be most effective," Dr. Posey said. The research team examined the mice at different stages of development to track the disorder's progression. They found that about two weeks after birth (which equates to about four years in humans), a large number of chondrocyte cells have died and symptoms worsen. They also found inflammation in the growth plate and cartilage of the joints, suggesting the beginning of osteoarthritis. To determine if there was a way to reduce the effects of the disorder at its earliest stages, the researchers administered three different medications—lithium, phenylbutyric acid, and valproate. They found that the drugs successfully lessened the damage to chondrocyte cells in the growth plate, but each drug resulted in significant side effects. Nevertheless, the results were promising. "Although these drugs in particular are not viable treatment options, our findings do provide a foundation for the development of a therapy that would reduce inflammation in the growth plate chondrocytes," Dr. Posey said. "We also identified an optimal treatment window—starting around age 2, when most of the cells in the growth plates are still viable and widespread cell death has not yet occurred. Once growth plate chondrocytes have been depleted, generally around age 4, treatments likely would have little effect." Dr. Posey said her team is now studying other medications. The current work builds on previous research by the paper's senior author Jacqueline T. Hecht, Ph.D., associate dean of research for the UTHealth School of Dentistry, professor and director of the Pediatric Research Center and vice chair for research in the Department of Pediatrics at the UTHealth Medical School. Dr. Hecht also serves on the faculty of The University of Texas Graduate School for Biomedical Sciences at Houston. A team led by Dr. Hecht discovered the defective COMP gene in 1995. UTHealth co-authors include Francoise Coustry, Ph.D.; Alka C. Veerisetty, Peiman Liu, and Joseph Alcorn, Ph.D., associate professor of pediatrics.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Sharp Corp, the struggling maker of Aquos TVs, increased its full-year operating loss forecast to 155 billion yen ($1.94 billion) from a previous 100 billion yen loss forecast. At a net level, it almost doubled its full-year loss forecast to 450 billion yen.
Sharp said, however, it expects to post an operating profit in the current October-March second half, after losing 168.9 billion yen ($2.11 billion) in the first half year - a target that will allow its banks to justify a $4.6 billion bailout of the TV maker.
Sharp has secured fresh loans from banks including Mizuho Financial Group and Mitsubishi Financial Group in return for a pledge to axe 10,000 jobs, sell assets including overseas TV assembly plants, and return to profit.
With redundancy packages usually amounting to at least a year's salary, layoffs in Japan are expensive.
Sharp has also mortgaged most of its offices and factories in Japan, including one that makes displays for Apple Inc's iPhone and iPad, to unlock the emergency financing.
Sharp posted a July-September operating loss of 74.8 billion yen ($936 million), compared with a profit of 30.1 billion yen a year ago, as it booked a $1.1 billion charge for a restructuring it has promised in return for financing to help avert collapse.
The average forecast by five analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S was for a quarterly operating loss of 50.4 billion yen.
The consumer electronics maker also wrote down 61 billion yen of deferred tax assets in the second quarter.
Since the start of the year, Sharp's shares have plunged more than 75 percent, while the benchmark Nikkei average has gained more than 5 percent. Sharp fell 1.7 percent on Thursday ahead of its earnings release.
($1 = 79.9300 Japanese yen)

Author: Anika Saigal (@anikasaigal), BBH Labs Intern
We love businesses that turn our expectations positively on their head. Luke Dowdney, the founder of the charity Fight For Peace, did exactly that when he came in to see us about the launch of a new clothing brand, LUTA (@lutaclothing). Check out the trailer above, directed by Seb Edwards at Academy Films, for a powerful introduction.
Founded with the support of private investment, LUTA is a "collection of fightwear, trainingwear and streetwear that brings together real fight performance, favela style and a genuine social mission". We've been working with Luke behind the scenes and so went along to hear him tell the story behind the brand at its launch last week, which was held at Fight For Peace's East London academy. LUTA aims to be a brand built on favela spirit – "Real Strength" is its motto – quality performance clothing to compete with established brands and also on the basis of a 50% profit share scheme. That's to say that LUTA pays as much of its profits to Fight For Peace as it pays its shareholders. 'Even if the brand doesn't pay its shareholders a profit in any given year, it will still pay FFP a minimum of £10,000 for that year, ensuring that its support is stable and ongoing.'
The model here is social entrepreneurship which we're seeing more and more of – from Rockcorps channelling the power of music and celebrity to make volunteering a part of youth lifestyle, to TOMS matching each pair of shoes purchased with a pair given to a child in need. We're seeing, too, more and more mainstream brands seeking to put their mission statements into action on the ground, often through social and CR initiatives.
What's interesting with LUTA, however, is the reversal of that model: the 'philanthrocapitalism' of this potentially lucrative, profit-driven brand.
What could marketers – non-profits or otherwise – learn from the approach Luke is taking?
It strikes us that charities often go about securing donations by capitalising on either our compassion or on our resolve to remove the awkward guilt that ensues when we turn away from a good cause. We need to know the story behind the charity first though, in order to feel moved enough to do something about it. And it follows that, to get people to listen, conventional charities need to be opportunists in their approach to securing donations. The flow of income may be unpredictable, making it difficult to plan projects. What's more, a 'landmark' Harvard Business Review article, published two decades ago, describes the flaws in charitable foundations. These include the finding that little effort is devoted to measuring results, and that these foundations have unjustifiably high admin costs. That article has been repeatedly cited, years later, to bring home the fact that even though the flaws are widely acknowledged, not much has changed.
In the conventional charity model, endorsing the perception of their beneficiaries as victims may be necessary in order to incite charitable motivation. But this also, however unwittingly, can further remove potential supporters from the reality of their plight, so that those who could/do donate feel more like outsiders watching from afar.
In the case of LUTA, it's a very different story.
LUTA focuses on the quality of its clothing in order to make it a credible competitor to existing brands. The fact that half the profits go to a good cause simply adds incentive to a purchase that would, regardless, have still been considered. This seems to make more sense in terms of behavioural economics. We instinctively avoid guilt and chase inspiration. So, instead of encouraging people to give, literally, for pity's sake, it'd be more effective instead to stir action-provoking emotion through an aspirational brand that embraces themes of determination and hope.
Are there other learnings we've missed or other great examples? We'd love to hear about them if so. In the meantime, enjoy Academy Films' powerful film made to promote LUTA:
A little about Luke:
Luke Dowdney MBE is a social anthropologist and former amateur boxer from East London, he's spent the past decade establishing and running the Fight For Peace boxing and education academy in the Complexo da Maré, one of the biggest agglomerations of drug gang-controlled favelas in Rio de Janeiro.
Fight for Peace offers youths in favelas an alternative to becoming involved in organized armed violence. It offers the opportunity for them to gain strength and self-respect through the discipline of martial arts, as well as providing them with supplementary education and preparation for the job market. He's since opened another FFP academy – this time in East London – with the aim of continuing to grow internationally.

Back to Basics (campaign)
"Oh not again"
"Oh yes, there's no escape for you my love, Britannia"
Back to Basics was a UK Conservative Party campaign launched in 1993 after the disastrous handling of the economy and the country by the Conservatives under John Major. The campaign focuses on perceived deviant sexual practices and the evils of single Mothers along with widespread unemployment. There was also a focus on going back to the fabled more "wholesome past."
Many things characterized the Back to Basics campaign however the most notable was the NHS being forced to publicly back the missionary position as Great Britain's 'official' sex position and to "double bag it in johnnies" where possible. Again people from poorer communities were blamed when such endorsements failed to provide any halt in urban decay and "unwanted little bastards" from the estates from being born.
Things that Back to Basics has come to symbolize:
- More chinless Etonians trying out a "rear entry" situation with Edwina Currie
- Less "Blacks"
- More "Moral Panics" in the media
These things helped cement the campaigns objectives and were the foundations for a 20th century Conservative Party, which was subsequently re-packaged for both a Labour and Conservative 21st century. The Back to Basics campaign also set forward an attempt by the right to justify working the Proles even harder while complaining that they slept around a bit too much as a result of brutal serfdom.
Political impact
It did not save John Major however the Rap that Major tried out on Prime-minsters questions has worked well for David Cameron and his Bullingdon minions. They thusfar have gained ground after the failure of the left, as instead of being like America and appointing a privileged half-cast black man they (Labour) brought forward an obese working class alien from Govan, Glasgow to run Britain. This was much to the dismay of 'Middle England' and those pretending to be "Middle England" and this arguably led to the 2010 Conservative victory. The 1992 Rap by "Johnny M" goes as follows:
- "Let my Tory bitches here sing along, hell yeah, we have no policies, hell yeah, and when we went to school we never worried about our parents paying for our lives to come together, hell yeah, wait till Labour join in, hell yeah, and we'll teach y'all in McDonald's and give you hammer for DIY health care, Hell yeah..."
Political commentators have said that it was another attempt by the Tories to desperately attach "urinal cakes to dog shit" - however the British are highly suggestible, and many went along with it at the time. Consequently it is often said by dictators around the world that despite democracy, it is as if the British have 'no will of their own'. Fortunately the exposure of the tabloid press ensured that the sleaze and debauchery was exposed and the campaign was ultimately shelved along with Conservative Party who were eventually expelled for a time only to re-emerge more hideous than ever before in the mid 2000s.
The use of asphyxiation as a form of masturbation also brought the campaign into disrepute and it was a far cry from the standard missionary position that was keenly put forward by Tory HQ at the time. This was seen as a key failure along with other peripheral matters such as the dismal economy and deeply entrenched corruption within British politics.
Criticism of 'Back to Basics'
There was widespread criticism, however most people forget the campaign and remember the sweet extra marital romance between Tory 'Casanova' John Major and Edwina "flop it out for a hot one" Currie that emerged on the 2000s. The foremost criticism was the view that you can't 'peg people' which is a problem for the grasping claw of the Tories. Their inherent hideousness could not understand the problems of "pegging people" in the way they saw fit. Namely those that made money for them and those that didn't. To them, the latter had to be changed in a way that more suited the requirements of society.
The campaign received another raft of criticism when it emerged that the coke snorting corrupt Tory cabinet were doing anything but going Back to Basics and were in fact expanding on their 'failings'. This has seen the campaign being largely forgotten; however the ethos of saying one thing and doing another has been carried on in subtler forms by the Tories and others who have been inspired by their campaign.
The impact of the campaign is difficult to weigh up, sadly the cliché of the term, Back to Basics, is like the gravity around a black hole and we all know that it points in the direction that all things have been going in Britain. Maybe time to buy that one way ticket to Venezuela.
"My problem is Dr. Dee that after seeing my realm in the twilight of idols at the end of the 20th century, a 'No Future' attitude seems to have come to the fore. I dislike the direction my realm has taken, I will F them all up should I ever reign again"

Terry O'Neil of Stourbridge, England dreamed of owning a Ferrari–and, when he finally purchased one, he kept this dream car for 18 years. During that time, he joined the Ferrari Owners Club and became its archivist. In that role, he wrote articles for the club's magazine, and expanded his horizons to write for other car magazines, including Cavallino and the Vintage Racecar Journal, plus the magazines for the Austin-Healey Club of America and the Porsche Club of America. "I have, for a long time, had an interest in sports car racing," Terry admits, adding that it led him to writing a book about the Bahamas Speed Weeks, which was a series of races held on the island of New Providence in the Bahamas, starting in the mid-50s and lasting for 13 years. And, this was only the first of his books on racing cars. After that, Terry wanted to home in on another niche motor sport topic. "European motor racing had been comprehensively written about over a period of time," he told Advance Auto Parts, "so I turned to look at the opportunities to write about racing in America." What caught his attention was a race held at Floyd Bennett Field, a naval air station based near New York. "Further research," Terry explains, "led me to discover that over a period from late 1952 up to November 1954, a number of races had been jointly organized by the Sports Car Club of America and Strategic Air Command bases, together with a few more naval air stations. It was a subject that nobody had examined and, to me, the opportunity proved irresistible." This book became Runways & Racers: Sports Car Races held on Military Airfields in America 1952-1954. More about sports car racing According to Terry, during the early 1950s, road racing was increasingly being banned in the United States, because of the number of accidents and even deaths of drivers and spectators. So, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) needed to find acceptable venues for its members to use as racetracks. At the same time, the Strategic Air Command (SAC) was finding itself short on funding, so "General Curtis LeMay thought it would be a great idea to raise incremental funds through allowing the SCCA to race on the military air bases in America," he says. "The collaboration between the SCCA and SAC was always viewed by both parties as nothing other than a marriage of convenience. Quite simply the SCCA needed somewhere to race and the SAC needed money." This arrangement quickly started to fall apart, though. "Some Air Force personnel," Terry says, "began complaining of having to do extra duties on race days, so politicians became involved." When a congressman started investigating, the agreement was found to be a "great direct and indirect cost to the taxpayers, little of which is accounted for." This led to the dissolving of the agreement between the SCCA and the SAC. Terry shares a couple of the more controversial activities that took place on these runways: • "There was the little matter of General LeMay, a great friend of Sydney Allard, using a SAC bomber to fly three Cadillac engines to France for Sydney so he could compete at the Le Mans 24-hour race–under the guise of a routine training flight." • "Then there was the unfortunate accident at Bergstrom AFB, Texas, where George Moffett overturned his OSCA during practise. In order to rectify the car, it took six 'volunteers' from the air base machine shop together with the OSCA pit crew all night to do the job. To their credit, the OSCA was made ready to race at 8:30 the next morning. To honor the 'volunteers,' the car was emblazoned with the letters 'BAFB Special;'" And, finally, Terry provides an answer to a question he is often asked, which is "Why is an Englishman writing about American sports car racing?" His answer? "Well, someone had to do it!" Terry has in fact written four books on racing cars, with the other two titled: • Northeast American Sports Car Races 1950-1959 • Motor Racing at Nassau in the 1950s & 1960s When he isn't watching, thinking about or writing about sports car racing, Terry spends time with his wife, Pam, their two daughters (both of whom married "local lads") and his two four-year-old grandchildren.

For nearly 30 years Karen and Steven Herdklotz have been rehabilitating injured animals on their property in Durand. Their labor of love is "Hoo" Haven – a 4-acre non-profit site that just received a $35,000 donation from Exelon Nuclear's Byron Station.
BYRON, Ill. (September 2, 2011) - For nearly 30 years Karen and Steven Herdklotz have been rehabilitating injured animals on their property in Durand, Ill. What started as a small labor of love in their house has blossomed into "Hoo" Haven - a 4-acre non-profit facility that treats all kinds of injured animals, from squirrels and snakes to owls and eagles.
Now, with a $35,000 donation from Exelon Nuclear's Byron Station, "Hoo" Haven will begin building an aquatic wildlife pen that will add considerable space to its facility. More importantly, the aquatic pen will given injured water animals - like otters, beavers and pelicans - the proper space and environment in which to rehabilitate.
"We can accommodate many things, but carrying of buckets of water in and out to a little store-bought pool was difficult," Karen said. "For animals that need a pond to swim in and need constant climate control, this new addition is going to be a very cool thing. It's going to make our jobs easier and also give the animals a better living condition in which to get better."
Karen and Steven and their volunteers have never turned down an injured animal brought to their facility. But their space has never been perfect in regards to treating aquatic animals and the special needs they have. The new addition will include a large pool and areas where the animals can "sun" themselves under special lights.
Byron Station's relationship with "Hoo" Haven has been strong for years. Over the past 18 months the two groups have combined efforts in their visits to local elementary schools. At school assemblies, Byron employees have taught students about conservation and being environmentally friendly through Exelon's "Gabby Green" program. The "Hoo" Haven workers would then follow with a message about animal rescue - and would show some of the facility's rescued wildlife.
"This group does so much to help the wildlife in Northern Illinois that we knew we could make a donation that would have a positive impact on their rehabilitation efforts," said Byron Station Site Vice President Tim Tulon. "A number of our employees are volunteers at 'Hoo' Haven and we were pleased some of them could be on hand for the monetary presentation."

For Alumnus Frank Sisti, a Memorable Encounter with a University Legend Shaped his Penn State Experience
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.—Frank Sisti, a College of Education alumnus who graduated with a B.S. in secondary education, has enjoyed a long and successful career. Since his graduation, he has earned multiple graduate degrees, including a doctorate in management and organizational leadership. His successful career has included work in project management, risk management and software leadership. Sisti has also held multiple leadership positions in the military, serving in Vietnam, South Korea and as staff director on two commissions for President Reagan. Currently, he is the executive director of the Systematic Leadership Institute in Phoenix.
But on a dark night in 1963, Sisti's future did not always seem so bright. Fortunately for Sisti, he encountered a Penn State legend who showed him what it means to be a Penn Stater."A fond memory of my Penn State experience would have to be when I entered my sophomore year," said Sisti. "I was coming to University Park from the Penn State Forestry Academy at the Mont Alto campus."
Sisti said he had finished preparing his matriculation cards, which were used by students to obtain a seat in a particular class by going to the main floor of Rec Hall and literally holding up their cards when professors opened their classes. At the end of the day, he said he felt that he had constructed a solid term of classes. However, after speaking to his roommate, he discovered that he had botched his class times.
"I quickly got my bike and pedaled back to the gym in the dark only to discover the maintenance folks were sweeping up the discarded cards, and no one else was to be seen," said Sisti. "I stood there, in the center of the basketball court, crestfallen, sorting out in my mind how my college career was already destroyed when I hadn't even attended one class at University Park."
Sisti said that at that moment, out of the shadows of one of the archways that surround the floor, came a white-haired gentleman who walked up and asked why he seemed so distraught.
"I explained my situation, and I was especially upset because it was of my own making," said Sisti.
Sisti said that he suspected that his scholastic career was at a premature end. He added that the white-haired gentleman seemed truly concerned and spoke in a confident tone.
"He asked me to wait there for another moment," said Sisti. "He went back under another arch and seemed to be making a phone call. Shortly, he returned and, through a broad smile, he told me to pedal over to Old Main, approach a side entrance and knock on the door. He said things would work out."
Sisti departed on his bike in the dark. He said he thought to himself that this could have been a joke, but he did what the white-haired gentleman said. He went up to that door and knocked.
"An elderly lady answered and ushered me into her office in the president's suite where she sat down and, working on her desk, she put my term class-load together by hand," said Sisti. "As you can imagine I was more than grateful, and as I got up to leave, I turned to her and asked, 'Who was the gentleman who had helped me so much and had called her?' She looked at me with a strange smile and just simply said, 'Why, that was Rip Engle!'"
"I never had the chance to thank Rip for the help he provided a wet-behind-the-ears sophomore because the coach was in the process of turning over the reins of the football team to a new young coach named Joe Paterno. But I will always and forever remember that his kindness and strength that evening exhibited the finest traditions of Penn State at all levels," said Sisti. "That story haunts me still in a profound way, one that my work in leadership must always reflect."
--by Kevin Sliman (July 2014)

It was finally revealed what can stop Nick Saban and the Alabama football team: boating.
Saban pulled a group of players together Friday afternoon for some team bonding that included boating at a nearby lake, jet skiing, tubing and lounging in the sun.
The only damper to the day was forgetting to fill up the boat's gas tank before it ended up on empty.
Among players in attendance were linebacker Terrell Lewis, cornerback Shyheim Carter and national championship game star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. They took to social media to share their predicament.
Nick Saban and some of the @AlabamaFTBL players were stranded after their boat ran out of gas and the Snapchats are… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…—

Though it's not yet known how the group returned to dry land, the players' sense of humor shows the lack of urgency in the matter.

Howdee all.
Yesterday was Our 19th anniversary….Jeff was still sick in bed all day with his tick bite sickness…he is on antibiotics and should be getting better soon.
I walked around the garden most of the day taking photos and learning about the two cameras we purchased recently.
In the evening I went out too photograph with the big Canon. The clouds were filled with light.
I looked up and saw our Anniversary cloud!
Do you see it?
Look for a man and womans face..man on left with glowing eye,cloud filling bottom right is his arm..woman on right him..side view..
they are about to kiss...
Jeff saw it immediately and so did my sister Adele.
I love to find things in the clouds…and Yesterday I found a few.
Below is sleeping woman with glowing breasts..tee hee..
This one below is woman with glowing hair blowing a kiss ..is that a little pup behind her head?
A large hole… and above the hole .in the photo below..…two angelic beings looking towards in other in open embrace...
their faces are aglow… I wanted to climb to the castle that is lit up on the hill in the photo
But instead I looked at all the patterns in the sky
Now I suggest you get your head out of these clouds and go look at other
Wonderful skywatch posts.
