9 Female Characters We Wish We'd Been More Like In High School
Because teenagerdom is a mess, but some people handle it better than others.
What's with the name?
by Jill Pantozzi | 3:33 pm, November 27th, 2012
The last time we saw anything from the set of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was back at the beginning of October and that was only one lousy picture. Before that was September with just a few quick glimpses but today, we've got something of substance. A liquid kind of substance if you know what I mean. Click through to see Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Sam Claflin, and Lynn Cohen give it their all during filming in Hawaii for Catching Fire. And yes, Finnick's special weapon makes an appearance as well. YOU GUYS, I CAN'T WAIT!!!

In the '80s, the decade leading up to the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA), there was no shortage of controversy surrounding sulfites. During that time, many salad bars routinely sprayed their produce with sulfur dioxide, which made some people sick and even triggered a few fatal asthmatic reactions. Because of this, in 1987 the FDA issued regulations requiring foods and beverages containing sulfites in excess of 10 parts per million (ppm) to include the statement "contains sulfites" on their labels. Although the FDA estimates that only 1 percent of the population is sensitive to sulfites, there were many who opposed the use of the additive, and when OFPA was passed in 1990 sulfites were prohibited as an ingredient in organic products.
Years later in 1998, when the NOP regulations were being drafted, theNOSB heard public comment from many winemakers, who pleaded for theability to use at least a minimal amount of sulfites. As a compromise, the NOSBrecommended that sulfites be added to the Allowed Synthetics list, with the an-notation, "for use only in wine labeled 'made with organic grapes,' providedthat total sulfite levels do not exceed 100 ppm."However, when the NOP went to publish the proposed regulations in March2000, it sidelined the NOSB's recommendation on sulfites because OFPA didnot allow sulfites in any amount. When winemakers heard this, they went toD.C. to petition California Senator Barbara Boxer to amend the law. "Sulfitesare essential to making a quality wine. If sulfites were not allowed in organic atall, the market for organic wine grapes would be almost non-existent," says oneof the petitioners, Paul Dolan, who not only has his own line of "made with or-ganic grapes" wines, but also was the creator of Fetzer's popular Bonterra"made with organic grapes" wines.
Hearing the winemakers' plea, in October 2000, Congress passed the Boxer-McConnell Amendment to OFPA, allowing sulfites in winemaking. Two months later, the NOSB recommendation from 1998 was adopted into the NOP rule, allowing wine to contain added sulfites if Dolan points out that the importance of the decision in regard to the growth of the organic market is apparent when you consider that today there are only 15 no-sulfite-added (NSA) organic wine brands in the U.S., while there are over 60 sulfites-added brands that are made with organic grapes, and hundreds more sulfites-added "made from organic grapes" wines are produced internationally and imported into the U.S.
Marcelo Retamal, winemaker for Nuevo Mundo—a carbon neutral winery in Chile which makes wines with 100 percent organic grapes—with Paolo Bonetti, president of Organic Vintners.
Winemakers are currently petitioning to change the NOP Final Rule, stating that the original intent of the Boxer-McConnell Amendment did not restrict wines with added sulfites to the "made with" category and that the current labeling rule for organic wine impedes the growth of the industry and causes consumer confusion. So far, more than 100 winemakers, importers, distributors, retailers and other supporters have signed on to back the effort.
One reason consumers are confused is because the rules for organic winesare "sharply different" from the "USDA Organic" and "made with organic" la-beling laws applied to all other organicproducts, says Paolo Bonetti, presidentof Organic Vintners, organic wine im-porter and one of the companies lead-ing the effort to petition the NOSB.

I find it strange that the one industry that empowers individuals who are not in the top 10% is the one that is being handcuffed. Why are the requirements for direct marketing organizations not applied equally to investment prospectus marketing as well? I have never seen any company's prospectus listing each and every single lawsuit against the company AND against each director on the board. Large companies would be up in arms against such a proposal due to the burden and irrelevant information that would confuse prospects. Now imagine what the burden would look like for individuals involved in their own small direct marketing businesses. Ridiculous! I firmly believe that the very same format that applies to public company investment should apply to direct marketing plans. That is fair.

Clinical Research Site Spotlight: Sleep Disorder Unit
Flexible Staffing to Support the Wesley Woods Geriatric Center and Sleep Disorder Unit
Members of the ACTSI Clinical Research Network (CRN) met with Donald L. Bliwise, PhD, professor of Neurology and the director of the Program in Sleep, Aging and Chronobiology, and reviewed staffing shortages at the Wesley Woods Geriatric Center and Sleep Disorders Unit. The CRN, through the Atlanta Research Nursing Alliance, provided flexible staffing to support sleep studies including Sleep/Wake Continuum in Lewy Body Disease, funded by NINDS; Biomarkers of Aging in the Bay Area Sleep Cohort, funded by NIA; and Melatonin and Nighttime Blood Pressure in African Americans, funded NCCAM.
The initial meeting between Dr. Bliwise and the ACTSI led to the creation of the citywide ACTSI Sleep Research Network and Dr. Bliwise has since become involved with the national CTSA Sleep Research Network Steering Committee.

Denver Mercedes Service and Repair CLS550
Denver Mercedes Service and Repair CLS550
Denver Mercedes service and repair keep the CLS550 functioning at the high level of efficiency owners expect. Original equipment manufacturer parts for Mercedes vehicles cost more than other brands, but the knockout design, refined comfort, and innovative engineering of the luminous automobiles require no less. In fact, following the recommended Denver Mercedes CLS550 service schedule will reduce the cost of ownership over a five-year period. An independent analysis that assesses all costs of ownership estimates a total cost of $84,989 for five years, compared to $88,490 for similar vehicles. The Mercedes CLS550 costs 4 percent less to operate than similar vehicles when operators follow service guidelines. However, the study made one glaring mistake: there are no similar vehicles that match the styling, performance, and safety of the innovative four-door coupe.
Denver Mercedes Service and Repair CLS550 Expert Technicians
Mercedes recommends in their warranty guidelines that operators choose Mercedes dealerships for service, because expert technicians receive factory training and have the finest diagnostic and repair tools to restore vehicles and perform routine maintenance. Owners must use OEM parts or risk invalidating their warranties. Proper service saves money in the long run by optimizing gas mileage, protecting investment, and preventing expensive repairs. Denver Mercedes CLS550 brake service offers a perfect example. Driving in rough environmental conditions wears out brake pads. Stopping vehicles depends on many parts functioning perfectly with precision. Pads, pedals, rotors, and brake lines must interact with driver assistance systems. Inferior parts could cause safety risks or nullify the vehicle's warranty. The brake system requires deactivation before replacing worn components, because high pressure builds in the braking system. The special Star Diagnosis tool deactivates the system, but generic garages or home mechanics are unlikely to have one of these tools on hand.
Denver Mercedes Service and Repair CLS550 Maintenance Routines
Factory-authorized Denver Mercedes service and repair ensures that all maintenance routines meet the high standards of safety Mercedes has established. When a vehicle needs replacement parts or repairs, OEM parts ensure a perfect fit and optimized car performance. The distinguished look of the sporty CLS550 also depends on quality parts and accessories. The recommended Denver Mercedes CLS550 service schedule will also address important issues such as preparing the car for winter, servicing the air conditioning system, performing vehicle inspections, and providing Denver Mercedes CLS550 brake service.
Denver Mercedes Service and Repair CLS550 Luxurious Transportation
Mercedes earned their reputation by engineering luxurious transportation with remarkable styling, astonishing performance, and understated elegance. Owners can keep their vehicles in top condition and save money by choosing Denver Mercedes service and repair for all their maintenance and accessory needs.

You'd never know it by looking at it, but this is a gem of a restaurant serving some of the best Indian food in town. The vegetable curries are amazing. The kitchen manages to keep the food full of flavor without being heavy. My only complaint: the red wine is served at room temperature. Most of their limited selection could benefit from a slight cooling down.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/25/2005
The delivery took over twice as long as quoted when the order was made, and i called to check on the status of the order and was told that my food would be here in five minutes- twenty minutes later, the food still hadn't arrived. while it tasted great, it was poor delivery service
Posted by jvivey on 09/25/2005
I simply cannot say enough good things about Swagat! The food is amazing, the wine list is more than decent for a small place, and the waiters all know my husband and I by name. It's the quintessential neighborhood joint with top rate food - GO!
Posted by Kimmie on 08/31/2005
What a great Indian restaurant. The food is fresh and well-spiced. Everything's prepared lovingly. The chicken tikka comes out sizzling and delicious. The lamb saag is simply amazing. The service is impeccable. Just wish the space was bigger.
Posted by Anonymous on 08/17/2005
Food was great! Delivery was quick. I look forward to ordering again.
Posted by GoodEater on 08/10/2005
We had lunch here twice and enjoyed the food greatly. The spicing is subtly different from most Indian restaurants. The staff is exceedingly pleasant. Were unable to have dinner because the place was always completely full when we arrived but the lunch is a great bargain.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/17/2005
Had a great meal! There are a ton of choices on the menu and the portions are just right. My friend even got a ceasar salad and he loved it. The corn roti and the stuffed naans are delicious as well. Staff couldn't have been sweeter. Delicious, definitely give it a shot.

Networking is a word business people throw around all the time, but I often wonder how many people really understand how to successfully network. I've witnessed too many scenarios where people misunderstand, misuse or even abuse a networking opportunity. The stories below are true and the tips that follow have been learned from personal experience. I hope you find them enjoyable and helpful.
A few years ago, I was about to get into the elevator at the end of an event when a business woman rushed out of the elevator, exclaiming "Did I miss it?" She had missed the entire event. About six people got onto the elevator, leaving her standing in the now almost empty room. As the doors were closing, she threw a handful of business cards at me, saying "Hand these out to the people with you in the elevator." Did I mention I was carrying a box? There was no way I could catch the dozen or so cards flying at me even without the box. So, they all tumbled to the floor for people to step on.
Networking 101:
Arrive on time, if not early. Arriving early allows you to scope out the room, increasing your comfort level, and pick out which of the arriving guests you want to meet first.
As I was walking into a networking event, a friend asked me to help carry his boxes of posters into the event. I asked him if he was hanging them up at the venue and he replied that he was going to hand them out to people….people who had a drink and/or food in their hand, were shaking hands with everyone and reaching into their pockets for their business cards. In other words, people who did not have a spare hand to cart around a poster.
Networking 102: Hand out appropriate promotional material at the appropriate time. Large brochures and oversized material is not appropriate. People are there to network. They need your contact information and a reminder as to what you do (aka Business Card) and nothing else. Save the expensive materials for your follow-up.
There is a guy in every community that others referred to as "the hunter" because his only purpose in life seemed to be finding people to buy his product. He would abruptly enter and exit conversations, force his business card into your hand and tell you why you *had* to do business with him. He never asked questions about anyone else's business or even what their business needs might be. People ran from him.
Networking 103: Be a farmer, not a hunter. Farm and cultivate leads by helping people, learning about their business, referring business their way and solving their needs. Hunters go in for the immediate kill and feed for a day whereas farmers cultivate and feed for a lifetime.
Mindy Bradish-Orta, President/CEO of Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, is guest contributor to Ambs Call Center's blog.

Lucy just had the worst week ever. Seriously, mega bad. And suddenly, it's all too much—she wants out. Out of her house, out of her head, out of her life. She wants to be a whole new Lucy. So she does something the old Lucy would never dream of.
And now her life will never be the same. Now, how will she be able to have a boyfriend? What will she tell her friends? How will she face her family?
Now her life is completely different…every moment is a gift. Because now she might not have many moments left.–Description from Goodreads
My Thoughts:
This book is heartbreaking, beautiful and the kind of novel will stay with you possibly even forever. I do not think I will ever hear about this subject again without thinking of this character.
I wasn't sure what I would think of this book when I first started reading it. This is difficult subject matter and I thought it might be too sad to read. It turns out that it is pretty realistic, but it is written in such a way that it offers you hope for the young woman that is the main character.
You struggle with her as she learns the truth of her situation, learns about her options and the disease itself. You are there as she discovers that her life may not end abruptly and without warning as she first feared. This is an incredibly moving book with many different facets that make it interesting.
The family dynamic is wonderful. The parents are supportive of her and try to improve her situation with understanding and compassion, yet the author also gave them time to grieve and react to the news of their daughter's illness. I thought the relationship the main character shared with her birth mother was tragic, but also resulted in a beautiful gift that made this story even more worth reading.
The romance is plausible and the author did a superior job of making the here today gone tomorrow feeling of high school relationships shine through. It takes talent for an adult to write as a teen, and Jessica Verdi did it wonderfully.
The only thing I would say that I would have liked to see and perhaps wasn't quite explored enough, is that it is not always the one night stand or the creepy guy who sleeps around that can be the cause of this disease. I felt it would have been important to focus on the possibility of her ex boyfriend being someone who should have been tested for the disease. I also found it very hard to believe that one of the characters would have kept her mouth shut about what she knew in a certain situation when she had been built up as a spoiled brat who hated the main character.
All in all, this was an amazing book. It deserves a read. If you have a teenager, it might be a good choice. This book covers some harsh reality, but in a way that I think would speak to a teen audience in such a manner that they could not only understand, but also relate to.
Very well done.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm thankful for being in the middle of preparing the deviled eggs for our family dinner party today. Every time I make these I think of my mom. So thankful for every little thing I've learned from her in the kitchen. Click here for the recipe (12.17.07 post).
I'm thankful for how the very sight and sounds of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade on the TV makes me feel a little weepy. Those feelings are associated with so many fond Thanksgiving memories. I'm thankful for a happy childhood and a happy life full of warm holiday traditions and memories.
I'm thankful for you, my faithful blog readers.
And … I'm thankful that I've been off the computer all morning and I'll be off the computer for the rest of the day.

RENTON – In a mock game-on-the-line situation at Seahawks practice Sunday, Brandon Coutu came on with the field goal unit and responded by booting a 53-yarder.
You may now take a moment to check the date at the top of this page.
Yes, it's 2011, not 2008 or 2009. And the kicker's name, again, was Brandon Coutu, which might be a little fuzzy in the memory of casual fans.
Although Coutu is now in his third training camp with the Sea-hawks, he has not kicked in a regular-season game. He has been out of the league for a year.
Two differences stand between this camp and the others in which Coutu participated: He's fully healthy after dealing with a hip problem that required surgery, and Olindo Mare is no longer on the team.
"I was recovering from an injury when I left here ('09)," Coutu said Sunday. "I dealt with it, rehabbed, and have been working to be ready for an opportunity."
Brief history: Coutu, in possession of an impressive college resume at Georgia, was drafted in the seventh round in 2008. The Seahawks also signed the veteran Mare, who had struggled with a groin injury with New Orleans the previous season.
Coutu made all seven of his exhibition field-goal attempts that summer, while Mare proved he was back to health and was also powerful with kickoffs.
Since roster spots on NFL teams are precious, it's rare for teams to keep two placekickers. The situation appeared to make Coutu a pawn in a power play between general manager Tim Ruskell and coach Mike Holmgren.
Having made him a draft choice, Ruskell had equity in Coutu. But Holmgren liked the veteran.
Ruskell asserted that other teams wanted Coutu and the only way he could protect him for the future was to keep him on the roster. All the while, Holmgren saw his team crushed by injuries and in need of manpower at other positions on its way to a 4-12 season.
But both Mare and Coutu were kept on the roster. Coutu remained employed but inactive. Mare responded with a season of 24-of-27 accuracy and eventually set a franchise record by making 30 in a row into the next season.
"I have no idea," Coutu answered to the question: What the heck was going on? "I just tried to work hard every day and be prepared to play. I have no idea about any of that; I just came to work every day and did what they wanted me to."
By '09, that was getting harder because of a "wear and tear" hip problem that had been bothering him.
"I just had to have some stuff cleaned out of my hip and that let me move around better," Coutu said. "I feel a lot better now, much better than I did before."
He rehabbed, he healed, and then he was once again up and kicking. He was not ready to give up on the NFL.
"I worked with some people and I did a lot of kicking at a local high school to stay in shape," he said. "My goal was to definitely get back here and get another shot in the NFL."
Coutu said he'd never been away from competition for so long, so the year away was difficult, and he was fully aware of the scarcity of kicking jobs. "I know how the NFL works, there's not many open positions, so you have to be patient."
The NFL lockout further complicated his comeback chances, so he signed with Las Vegas of the UFL. But when free agency opened, the Seahawks called him again. Now he's in a duel with former Steelers kicker Jeff Reed.
Coutu's attention might be a bit divided this week while his fiancee, Taylor Leon, competes in the Safeway Classic in Portland. A two-time All-America golfer at Georgia, Leon is 107th on the LPGA Tour money list.
Coutu, a 6-handicap player himself, said they're getting married in February.
He would like to spend the intervening time not only employed by an NFL team, but also in action.
"I just had to keep believing in myself," he said. "I kept working so I'd be ready if another chance came up and all the hard work could pay off."

Demi Moore is back in the dating world again, and -- surprise, surprise -- with a much younger man. She's dating world art dealer Vito Schnabel -- who is roughly half her age. Demi and the 26-year-old were reportedly seen dancing at a party where they met in India, and have quietly been dating ever since. Vito is no stranger to beautiful, older women. He reportedly dated super model Elle Macpherson and actress Liv Tyler. This comes less than a year since Demi's divorce from Ashton Kutcher, who's 16 years her junior.

Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez Back Together? Couple Hang Out After American Music Awards
It appears that Justin and Selena are trying to patch things up, though it hasn't been that successful. On Friday, the pair allegedly got into a big argument while attempting to rekindle their romance and Gomez stormed out. Bieber followed after her in his car, but he was denied entry at the gate.
But what a difference a day makes. Gomez had a girls' night out with Taylor Swift on Saturday, and the singer may have convinced her to give Bieber another chance.
Life & Style reports that the 20-year-old former Disney star was spotted sneaking into Bieber's trailer at the American Music Awards.
"Selena didn't walk the carpet or arrive at the venue with Justin, but after the show I saw Justin's mom, Pattie, come out of his trailer. About five minutes later, Selena walked out," an eyewitness told the magazine.
X17Online's photographer's spotted the couple leaving the Nokia Theatre together hand-in-hand, and later they were spotted at the AMAs after-party at Bootsy Bellows in Hollywood, and stayed for about an hour.
If they are back together again we can't say for sure. But if they are, at this rate they could be broken up again by lunchtime.
Young love is so fickle.

(Photo: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)
Since welcoming baby Maxwell on May 1st, Jessica Simpson has been focused on her bonding with her little one -- and slimming down after her much-discussed 70-pound pregnancy weight gain with help from Weight Watchers (plus some extra motivation in the form of a rumored $4 million paycheck from the company.)
So what does her surprise second pregnancy -- mean for her deal? The brand is refusing to, well, weigh in.
"Any questions related to Jessica's personal life can only be answered by her team," says a WW rep.
A rep for Simpson had no comment about the Fashion Star mentor's latest baby joy. Meanwhile, a source close to the Texas native tells Us she "really is overjoyed!"
If what's coming off the runways has any impact on what will be hot in spring of 2013, which it does, Birkenstocks are going to be the trendy shoe of the season. Yup, Birkenstocks – the hippie, Dead Header shoe of choice for years is going high fashion. Wow. (Glamour)

Two men accused of armed robbery
LONDONDERRY — Two Londonderry men face multiple charges in connection with an armed robbery that happened in town earlier this week.
On Tuesday, local police arrested Perkins Road residents Mark James Boardman, 36, and Timothy Raymond Larochelle Jr., 27.
Police believe Boardman and Larochelle robbed an unidentified juvenile at gunpoint on Monday. The victim suffered minor injuries during the incident.
The following day, the Londonderry Police Department obtained a search warrant for the home the two men apparently shared. During Tuesday's search of the property, police discovered two replica semiautomatic pistols on the property, one of which was believed to have been used in the alleged crime.
Boardman faces charges of armed robbery, second-degree assault, criminal threatening and reckless conduct, and is being held on $20,000 cash bail at Rockingham County jail.
Larochelle faces charges of second-degree assault and robbery, and is being held at Rockingham County jail on $10,000 cash bail.
"This was not a random occurrence," Lt. Ryan Kearney said this week. "All parties involved were known to each other from prior dealings, and this incident allegedly stemmed from a prior drug transaction."

Bingham McCutchen to Adopt 'Merit Lockstep' SystemBingham McCutchen has joined the ranks of firms that are tweaking their compensation systems, saying Monday it is moving to a "merit lockstep" system that will keep base pay on lockstep but introduce a merit component into bonuses. A memo first reported on the blog Above the Law said that while the firm is not abandoning lockstep, it is "keenly aware of current marketplace conditions" and believes that "to maintain our continued success, we need to incorporate a merit component into our overall lockstep structure."The Recorder 2009-10-06 12:00:00 AMBingham McCutchen has joined the ranks of firms that are tweaking their compensation systems, saying Monday it is moving to a "merit lockstep" system that will keep base pay on lockstep but introduce a merit component into bonuses. Several firms this year have announced a move away from lockstep compensation, including Howrey, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe and Townsend and Townsend and Crew. Nixon Peabody and Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman have lowered salaries for some associates in each yearly class, resulting in a de facto departure from lockstep. Jones Day says it has always used a merit-based system, and DLA Piper has said it is considering a departure from lockstep. Bingham is not abandoning lockstep, having discussed options with partners and associates, who preferred the predictability of an overall lockstep approach, according to a memo first reported on the legal blog Above the Law. "We are nonetheless keenly aware of current marketplace conditions and believe that to maintain our continued success, we need to incorporate a merit component into our overall lockstep structure," the memo said. "We fully expect the vast majority of associates/counsel to continue to achieve annual step increases in this merit lockstep system. However, more disciplined analysis will be applied during the evaluation process to ensure that an attorney's performance supports a merit step increase." Bonuses at Bingham were previously based solely on meeting a billable hours target. Although billable hours will continue to play a significant role in determining bonuses at the firm, they will also be based on less tangible factors, like teamwork and the overall market rates for bonuses. The firm confirmed the authenticity of the memo and declined to comment further. Courtney Goldstein, an associate recruiter at Major Lindsey & Africa, said lockstep compensation has its pluses: Merit-based pay can be time-consuming to calculate, and lockstep removes any suspicions of favoritism. But the biggest pressure facing law firms today is client pushback on billing rates, so any moves toward merit-based compensation reassures clients they are paying the right price for associates. "It makes sense for law firms, in order to attract new clients and retain clients, to establish a merit-based pay," Goldstein said. "If you go from a lockstep system to a merit-based system, at least the client will know that the billing rate is based on ability and quality of work." Consultant Peter Zeughauser dismissed that rationale and said the firm simply wanted to get money into the hands of people who deserve it. "They want to reward people for excellent levels of performance," Zeughauser said. "Merit-based bonuses is something that most firms did many, many years ago. It's not part of a current trend. It happened long ago, not every firm did it, and now [Bingham is] doing it." |

2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 |
August of this year the news portal for Orange County soccer www.xkorangecounty.com announced an article which recognized their experienced opinions about who were the "OC's Top 50 Most Influential People" over the years in area OC soccer.
The Slammers FC organization is extremely proud to recognize five people from our club as being recognized for their hard work, dedication, and passion for youth soccer. Without the personal investment from those below our club would not exist.
On behalf of Slammers FC parents and players (past and present)...
Thank you Walid, Z, Bernie, Terry, and most recently thank you Mia.
Mia Hamm
Trainer, Slammers FC The global soccer icon--arguably the most famous women's soccer player ever--just began her O.C. soccer tenure when she joined the Slammers FC in April as a trainer. However, her overall footprint left on the soccer world obviously cannot be measured.
Ask just about any little girl who she looks up to soccer-wise, and odds are you'll get a Mia answer, and her total impact on Orange County could, and probably will, be massive. As of today, Hamm helps the Slammers in coaching and mentoring with a focus on the U-14 through U-18 age divisions. Mia Hamm Hamm without question has an extensive résumé. Some highlights include: She was the FIFA World Player of the Year in 2001 and 2002. She scored more international goals in her career than any other player--male or female--in soccer history (158).
At age 19 she was the youngest member in history to win the World Cup. At 15, she was the youngest soccer player to ever play for the national team. Hamm has two Olympic gold medals (1996 and 2004) and she helped the University of North Carolina win four consecutive NCAA women's championships.
Terry Mazura
Slammers FC President. No discussion of OC mega-clubs can be complete without mentioning the Slammers, who also have the luxury of saying Mia Hamm is in their corner as a trainer.
The 30-team OC giant was created by Mazura when the likes of Bernard Towers, Walid and Ziad Khoury, David Northridge and Frank Klopas converged in the mid-90s in the then-Orange Coast United. The club had only as many as nine teams in 1999. Seven years later the Slammers hauled in 17 Cal South State titles.
Mazura has seen massive success wtih his girls' teams and now he and his club shift focus to building up the boys' program. Its new Slammers Youth Academy (for ages 6-8) is a step in that direction, as the club looks to gain even more numbers and success.
Bernard Towers
Coast Soccer League President
Towers heads the Coast Soccer League, the one entity that every single OC club and team plays in.
Put simply, the Coast Soccer League is the single thing, other than soccer balls and shin guards, that every player in OC has in common. Make that OC, the Inland Empire, Ventura County and Los Angeles County.
This year the CSL has more than 2,200 teams, more than 80 clubs and more than 35,000 players who will participate in around 18,000 games played on 500 fields. Whew. Every year these games represent the culmination of months upon months of hard work that will reveal how far a team has come.
The 10 weeks of the Coast Soccer League--comprising League Cup and leading into State and National Cup--are the most important weeks of the club soccer year, hands down.
Towers and the Orange-based Coast Soccer League finds a way to bring organization to the vast numbers of players, coaches, teams and parents that otherwise would beg for chaos. Towers & Co. get it done with the help of dedicated soccer people across So Cal, and many volunteers--as many as 2,500 every year.
Walid & Ziad Khoury
Directors of Coaching, Slammers FC
Everyone says it, and it's tough to argue: the Khoury brothers are known as the most recognizable faces found on youth soccer sidelines. Slammers FC is, has been, and will continue to be an OC club powerhouse, due in no small part to the Khourys, as well as club president/founder Terry Mazura (also on this Top 50 list).
The Slammers' girls program today is ranked 4th in the nation by Soccer America, and the club as a whole has been ranked in the Top 10 over the past six years. The Khoury's 30-team OC megaclub was created by Mazura when key OC soccer figures including now-CSL President Bernard Towers and the Khoury brothers converged in the mid-90s in the then-Orange Coast United. The club had only as many as nine teams in 1999. Seven years later the Slammers hauled in 17 Cal South State titles.
Combined, the brothers hold three Nike Coach of the Year awards (2003, 2006, and 2009). Up until 2008, Slammers FC played in six national championships, winning three of them. The club has also seen international success: it won three world titles, four U.S. Club Soccer national championships and three Manchester United Cup titles. On the regional level, Slammers has won 10 Far West Regional championships, 19 Cal South National State Cup titles and more than 40 Surf Cup championships.
The Khourys grew up in Lebanon during its civil war and both played in the Lebanese Premier League. They moved to So Cal in 1984 and played soccer at Orange Coast College. During the 90's they coached soccer at Corona Del Mar and Newport Harbor high schools. They continue to enjoy success today with many standout players succeeding under their direction in the Gold and Premier levels of the CSL. They've placed numerous players in every major Division-1 conference, and more than 15 of them have participated in the national team system.
The Khourys in 2008 joined the The Pali Blues Soccer Club of the USL W-League as assitant coaches, and guided them to a 12-0 record and the league championship. They even got Mia Hamm to help out as a trainer for the Slammers. Currently, Walid coaches the Slammers' GU-11, GU-14, GU-16, BU-18 teams. Ziad helms the club's GU-13, GU-15, GU-16, GU-18 squads.

Title: Great idea, plastic a little thin
Date: Apr 16, 2012
We used this for a fun photo op, but the plastic was so thin is was stretching and ripping with all the heads poking in and out of the holes. The product is made just for that use so it was a bit disappointing. Otherwise this product is great.

Part of Israel must be conceded in order for a Jewish and democratic state to exist, Kadima's platform states; Sharon says he would consider joining forces with any party to form next government
The nation has the historic and national right to a complete Israel, but part of the country must be conceded in order for a Jewish and democratic state to exist, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's new Kadima party platform states.
During a meeting of his new faction at the Knesset Monday, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni presented the party platform to the 14 Knesset members present at the meeting. A total of 17 MKs have joined the party.
According to the manifesto, the party would support the establishment of "an additional nation state to solve the (Palestinian) refugee problem, which would not be a terror state."
The platform also stated that the party would preserve the larger settlement blocs and a unified Jerusalem.
Kadima would also be committed to the Road Map peace plan, including dismantling the terror organizations, the collection of weapons and PA security reforms through stages devised by the plan.
The platform also includes internal issues pertaining to Israel, such as strengthening Jewish identity in society, bridging the secular and religious conflict and developing Israel's democratic characteristics.
The party's social-economic policies, including development in the Galilee and Negev and a war on poverty and crime, is also included.

One of the many classifications of custom pens and pencils, promotional stick pens represent the casual side for those associated with your organization who periodically need to mark down important messages, dates or events. These promotional items are inexpensive and long-lasting, making these particular promotional products a smart choice for the advertising aims of companies still in the growth process and making their way up the financial ladder. Distribute custom stick pens out to the audiences you specifically want to target as relevant prospective clients and they will have a handy way of remembering what your business has to offer. Promotional pens and pencils represent the traditional approaches to marketing before the technological advents of the current day. Promotional stick pens provide your company with touches of tradition with proven and effective ways of endorsing your corporate image.
There is no limit to establishing the most diversified means of selling your company line. However, businesses can choose to take either the technological road or the traditional route to implementing marketing strategies. The very existence of promotional items relies on companies sending messages through forms of useful products to show how their business should be taken advantage of. Success in any activity requires speaking to one another, whether by voice, expression or paper. Promotional stick pens lend a hand in spreading those messages to the people who can make the biggest difference in the goals your company has projected.
At USimprints, we are equipped to help you in that regard with promotional products designed to make your company work as efficiently as possible. Custom stick pens are very effective in making sure those affiliated with your organization are ready to face the often surprising challenges their work may bring. Think about how often your business associates write something down. The entire world uses promotional pens and pencils for numerous purposes with personalized stick pens providing an economical and easy way of serving such purposes. Your business associates will be able to write down anything they need to help them in their daily tasks. These promotional pens will go a long way in communicating that message.
Promotional stick pens have become extraordinarily popular since the days when ink was found to have effective qualities that would not require frequent changes in writing utensils. The arrival of custom stick pens to the market in the 1930s made cheaper, more reliable options for writing. Many business professionals still preferred the more sophisticated fountain pen, but with business casual styles quickly filtering through offices all around the country, personalized stick pens were becoming more and more popular. They usually lasted long enough to make it economically sensible to just replace with another pen rather than refilling them with ink. Anyone with the need to write could now afford to confidently record their necessary information without having to worry about constantly changing pens as long as they had paper to write on.
Personalized stick pens now are able to be fashioned with different colors, grips and features designed for all types of writers through which USimprints customizes these promotional products with your consumers in mind. Successful people and businesses know how to properly document important information in all circumstances. Communication has never been more efficient with these promotional pens now offering everything needed to properly write. Custom stick pens are yet another ingredient to assure writing success for your clients and colleagues who will see these promotional items as your way of contributing to their success. Bring the tradition of efficiently running a business to your company with the promotional items representing such competence. You are identified with the best the commercial world has to offer whether it is through sophistication or the casual nature of modern business. Promotional stick pens say your company has the ability to reach out to everyone. Your clients and colleagues can also personify such image. Let these promotional pens do the same, allowing you to send that message loud and clear with custom stick pens.

Skidmore College to host crossword puzzle tournament this weekend; anyone interested in taking part can still register
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Grab your pencils — or pens, if you're daring.
Skidmore College will host a crossword puzzle tournament this weekend, and it's not too late to register.
New York Times Crossword Puzzle Editor Will Shortz is providing four unpublished crossword puzzles for the event, which will kick off at 2 p.m. Saturday in Palamountain Hall.
Shortz will not be attending the event, a Skidmore college spokesperson said.
The competition's grand-prize winner will receive an iPad2.
The event is open to the public, but pre-registration is required at tinyurl.com/xword-skidmore.
The puzzles range in difficulty and are scheduled to run in next week's New York Times, said Skidmore Associate Professor Michael Arnush, who is organizing the event with Skidmore sophomore Sarah Nelson.
The tournament features four rounds, Arnush said.
The first two people who correctly finish Monday's crossword will qualify for the final round, as will the first four people who successfully finish Tuesday's and first six who successfully finish Wednesday's.
"They get more difficult as they progress," Arnush said. Continued...
Those 12 finalists will attempt Thursday's puzzle, and the first to correctly solve it will receive the iPad2, which was donated by McMurry Inc.
Ten of Shortz's crossword puzzle books will be given away courtesy of St. Martin's Press.
Half of the books will go to finalists, Arnush said, while the other five will be randomly distributed among everyone who participated.
The school subscribes to the New York Times for its students, Arnush said, and the crossword puzzle's popularity prompted him and Nelson, crossword puzzle enthusiasts themselves, to begin organizing the tournament.
More than 40 people have already registered, Arnush said, and they hope to turn it into an annual event.
