The Finance Committee, at Interim Supt. Donnie Perron's request, recommended the board eliminate a employee insurance subsidy, invoke a two-day furlough and stop use of day-to-day teacher substitutes as a means to head off a projected $3.9 million deficit, recommendations which have been on the table since December.
About two hours into the session, Carrier, after individual tete-a-tetes with several members and Perron, moved "in a spirit of compromise" to adopt the insurance and substitute provisions and explore adding minutes to the term's remaining school days (suggested by the employees' coalition) as another cost-saving measure.
Board attorney Gerard Caswell noted that such a motion could not be considered at that particular point of the agenda.
Carrier at that point likely had seven votes. When he departed, that left a six-six standoff.
And that's where it stayed. When a vote came two hours later on a motion to adopt the insurance and substitute provisions the tie meant the motion failed.
Candy Gerace, Huey Wyble, Scott Richard, Harry Fruge, Roger Young and Kyle Boss voted for the cuts; Anthony Standberry, Charles Ross, John Miller, Raymond Cassimere, Quincy Richard and Josie Frank voted no.
A vote was never held on the furlough question. The administration wanted to give employees unpaid days off Thursday and Friday this week.
Earlier in the meeting, attorneys appearing on behalf of employees were direct -- furlough and we sue before the ink's dry on the minutes.
They contended state law clearly prohibits any action resulting in less pay for teachers and other employees from one year to the next.
Caswell, responding to board members, said the jury's still out on the issue, noting a Jefferson Parish case raising identical issues is on appeal and the education bureaucracy is waiting for a ruling. A district court ruling upheld the furloughs
He did advise the board that if it proceeded with furlough it would be wise to allow time between the vote and the actual days off for a petition for an injunction to be heard in court.
A number of employees addressed the board, using their allotted five minutes per agenda item to excoriate members for what they perceive as irresponsible or absent oversight of the system's finance.
They threatened - make that promised - ballot box retaliation against any member voting to furlough them.
Near the end of the night, Perron, who took the helm when Michael Nassif left in the night last fall, conceded there is wasteful spending within the system, saying that is the case in any large enterprise.
He said his staff will continue to ferret out that but asserted something major still had to be done.
Perron said financial experts have told him the system could be broke in April. "Hopefully, we will get to June," he said, projecting an even bleaker scenario for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
"According to all parties, we could be in the red by $10 million," he said.
What's next?
Finance Director Tressa Miller said after the meeting that it's kind of wait and see. Revenue and spending projections are been made.
The vigil will include looking for any more new or increased revenue and trimming spending where it's possible.
The coalition's idea of adding minutes to the school year will be on the agenda. Several other employee suggestions offer promise of economy, if not this year then next.
One thing that seems off the board is any change to the majority to minority transfer program that sucks major dollars for inefficient transportation costs.
Caswell said U.S. Dist. Judge Tucker Melancon has rejected out of hand the possibility of relief by the court from that desegregation settlement provision.
"A deal's a deal," Caswell quoted Melancon as telling him.
The provision allows any student in the racial majority of a school to transfer to one at which his/her race is the minority, and the board is required to provide necessary transportation.
Caswell did say the judge said if all parties involved moved for such an change it could be heard in the normal judicial process.
But he added the Justice Department's attorney in the case said he could not envision a circumstance under which Justice would join such a request.

It is not appropriate to make jokes at a funeral. However, it is entirely appropriate to make jokes in a movie that is supposed to be a comedy.

A majority of diners - 70% of them in fact - use the internet to plan where to eat. From reviews to directions to nutritional info, consumers are turning to the internet to become informed prior to purchase. Interestingly, we also see that 30% of restaurant queries are coming from mobile searches, indicating that consumers have a need for on-the-go information. Are marketers prepared?

We run an internship program at Sonic through a local high school. Each semester, two or three students join our team and assist with project research, fulfillment and other administrative tasks.
We love our interns. Seriously, we do. They help us stay up to date on high school slang and provide hours of entertainment. Their latest game was so cute, we felt compelled to share it with you.
Mary and Mike, or Kid Mike, as he prefers to be called, have never met in person (they alternate days at Sonic), but that doesn't keep them from messing with one another. Mary has been with us for several months now, and clearly, seniority is just as important among interns as it can be among full-time employees.
Mary's note reads: "Dear Kid Mike, don't touch my background. I have seniority rights. Thank you! Mary".
Point taken?
Hah! It only gets better...
Two things I've learned from this little intern war:
1. Our interns are internet savvy and know their memes.
2. Clearly, we need to give them more work to do.

Silent is the New Loud
By Sam at Creative Theology
For the past few months I've been attempting to be more aware of all the noise in my life. A while back, I began turning off the car radio on my way to work. This was one small step in reclaiming space in my life.The theme of space and silence were prevalent at Luminous which had an incredible impact on me, especially in these areas. I had never been to a conference that effectively made space for people to commune, and carved out times of intentional, communal silence.
It was beautiful and stirring.
As I continue to unpack how to facilitate space and silence in my life, I wonder…
What do you do to be intentional about making room for silence?
Or if you are new to this journey like me, what ideas do you have?
I'd love to hear.

Established in 1993, Pizza Luce began as a small space in Minneapolis?s historic Warehouse District. Over the years, our award-winning
gourmet pizza, delivery service and late-night dining have earned exceptional customer loyalty.
At Pizza Luce, we take great pride in the quality of our food. We believe that good food comes from fresh ingredients, original recipes and happy cooks. We are strongly dedicated to maintaining the diversity of vegetarian and vegan alternatives on our menu (along with the carnivorous items as well, of course).
Artichoke Dip. The artichoke dip, while sounding very good on the menu, was extremely disappointing. It's more like a artichoke paste that is lemony and spicy at the same time. I like the artichoke dip that is has hunks of artichoke and stringy melty cheese. Artichoke paste doesn't do it for me. The bread that comes with it was pretty good though.
Never go wrong.
Seriously, the only con I can think of is that parking can be tight. And it's not all that bad. Great place for bringing the family or hitting after you leave the bar.
Everything tastes great, the staff is friendly and professional. I don't know anyone who hasn't been here, but if you haven't it's a must try.
Dont go ! bad service. I don't want to eat a frozen pizza paying $25 with bad service. waiters don't serve I had to wait 30 min to place the order.
Adventurous...the good and the bad..
The Drink:
For myself as well as many unnamed others food is best consumed only with the finest drink available. Pizza Luce offers a suitable if not adequate selection of beers and wine(no liquor). Catering to the local flavor
Surly Furious and sometimes other Surly beers seem readily available, recently I have seen Rush River and my mid-west standby Bell's on tap. $4.50-$5+ a pint
The wine list offers a variety of small and big house wines at $6-$8 dollars a glass.
The Eats:
It's not often that your able to find a truly great piece of pizza and when purchasing by the slice even less likely.
Americans know as pizza lovers that pie shops all around the country have gone through pains and decades (if not generations) of evolution to perfect the art, unfortunately Pizza Luce applies neither the strategies or apparently the desire.
That being stated, how can you really expect a concept pizza (potato bacon,mac and cheese) to be above average when your basic pizza (pepperoni/cheese) is made sub par at best.
Essentially my advice when going to Pizza Luce is to go for their happy hour where you can get a pint of good beer along with a slice of pizza for $5.36. To my dismay at $4-$5 a slice (during normal hours) one might be just as well off with a decent frozen pizza and could easily make a pie themselves with more promise. All of the awards and proclamations issued to Pizza Luce by local publications really leaves me wondering if hype makes all the difference in these twin cities.
Best Vegetarian Pizza Options. I love Pizza Luce because they have many interesting vegetarian options for pizza that is not the run of the mill veggie pizza. Barbeque sauce and mock dock, fakin bacon, pineapple. I love it! However their beer selections are not that good. The only real thing that is worth getting is their signature pizzas, their sandwiches and other entrees can be found anywhere else. The artichoke dip is super good as well-better than most. They have many locations that are convenient Lyndale S, Downtown, and Franklin Ave. in Mpls. Selby Ave. in St.Paul and they have one in Duluth as well. If you like Galactic Pizza you will also love Pizza Luce. Service is fine.
OK food, HORRIBLE delievery/customer service. I feel bad because Luce has been a favorite of mine for years. I always order delievery and up until the last few times I placed an order, things went along OK. Not the fastest or the best food in town, but food you can get at 2am. I consider myself a reasonable and polite person (and as a person also in the service industry, a little more understanding of the ebbs and flows of customer service) HOWEVER, the last 2 times I have ordered from this location, I have received, what I believe, to be the worst customer service ever (and in 12 years of waitressing, that says a lot). The first time they said 45 minutes to an hour. That's cool. After 90 minutes, I called and was told (very rudely) by the woman who answered the phone that "it's on its way!" No "I'm sorry" or anything. Hey, I get it. Sometimes things happen but an apology would have been nice, as I was politely asking about my food that I had ordered and hour and a haf prior. The second time, ANOTHER 90 minutes went by and when I called about THIS ONE, i was (again) rudely told that "The driver tried calling you but you didn't answer." When I asked why the driver didn't ring my DOORBELL (as a delievery person SHOULD) he said that since it was a duplex, he "didn't have time to sit there and ring doorbells." Well, it IS a duplex but the addresses are different for each unit, which Luce knows since I've told them this. He then proceeded to argue with me and then hung up on me. Anyway, I finally got my food and the manager DID comp it, however I will never order from this place again. Seriously, people. It's pizza. It's not that hard. And rudeness is NEVER ok, especially to someone who's nice about it. For mediocre pizza and crappy service, I'll go somewhere. Dulono's and Galatic have much better food anyway. Sorry Luce, but you worked my last nerve:(
Excellent Service.
I often feel like customer service is dead, but Pizza Luce is proof that it still can be found. The servers don't seem like they are offended if you don't order a bottle of wine or cluck when you share an entree with your husband. The vibe is fun...like a neighborhood block party. It is kid friendly. The service and food is so good that a few babies crying doesn't even peeve me.
The mashed potato pizza is fabulous. It had me eating broccoli on pizza and liking it!
delicious. i've ordered the baked potatoe pizza...SO GOOD!!! i also ordered the spinach and artichoke dip - i wasnt crazy about it, it was really garlicky.
Really?. i keep finding it funny, that this place keeps getting written up as one of the best places to get pizza in the cities. there's nothing (food wise) fancy about the pizzas. the service is also 50/50. mind you they too have their own style and flare. i have to say i dig chicks with tattoos up and down their arms. no need for a doggy bag, reheating your over-priced za at home is a bland disappointment.

SPHS Students Shine in 'Les Mis'
The show opened on Friday night and received a standing ovation from the crowd.
When one attends a high school musical, especially one as difficult to execute as Les Misérables, some awkward moments are to be expected. There is usually a song sung off-key, a lead role that is a little weak and some miscues on stage. Overall the performance is usually well done, but it has a few problems you overlook because it is just high school kids. That is not the case when it comes to Les Misérables at Severna Park High School. The musical opened on Friday night and was so well-done parts of the show actually gave me goose bumps. If you didn't make it to Les Mis this past weekend, I highly recommend you go this week and here is why: Fantine's (Bronwyn vanJoolen) death scene will put a tear in your eye; Thenardier's (Evan Bradley-…

Resolving to Rediscover Entertainment in the New Year
By John McKnight
Entertainment. Most of us think of it in terms of television, smartphones, laptops and iPads. At least this is how many incorporate it into daily living. In fact, it would not take very long to look around and find toddlers, children and adolescents glued to electronic devices. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics' recent study findings warn that this habit can be detrimental to the development of young children having too much exposure to these devices. To help combat this, State of the Re:Union contributor John McKnight of Abundant Community offers some great and easy ideas on how we can "unplug" and get back to the origins of entertainment. To read the original text in its entirety, click here.
It may be that most of us are not alarmed by "tube-nurtured" children because we think that what is happening is entertainment — innocent and pleasurable. Therefore, we don't recognize the fact that the tube is replacing play and genuine entertainment created by children, families and communities. In fact, the word "entertainment" is derived from the Old French which meant "hold together." Its essence is about relationships between people rather than people and "tubes."
There is an interesting monograph first printed in 1928 titled "Baraboo 1850's to 1860's Pioneer Festivities." It describes how people entertained themselves in the decade of the 1850's in the small Wisconsin town of Baraboo. The monograph documents entertainments produced by the residents including (these are just a few in many depictions):
• Fourth of July celebrations that went on all day and evening.
• New Year's day celebrated as a time of gift giving and calling on neighbors and friends.
• Berrying parties and apple-bees where everyone joined together in forests and orchards.
• Afternoon tea parties.
• Public dances of every kind, with local musicians providing the music.
• Village gatherings to watch the dancing of Native Americans who still lived in the area.
• Pound parties where everyone attending brought a pound of food to be shared with a poor family.
• Festivals throughout the community held frequently to raise money for good causes.
• Park festivities where public gatherings of every kind took place in the village.
This is a history of entertainment, festivity and play that was produced by everyday people in so many ways that most days had at least one entertainment. People knew how to create activities that would be fun, inspiring, social and informative. In that sense they were capable of creating a community's enjoyment.
In a "tube-focused" community, many people have lost the capacity to produce an enjoyable life. Instead they are consumers of commercial "entertainment." And because so many of them have never engaged in creating and participating in entertainment, there's no need for us to develop our talents. We pay to watch people with talent on a tube. And everyone knows that "tubing" has nothing to do with a festive life. Instead it is a sad retreat from the joy of using our abilities to celebrate each other by coming together in a thousand exciting, happy, supportive, friend-making, talent-displaying ways.
So, supposing your 2012 New Year's resolutions included personal leadership in creating an enjoyable neighborhood. We can begin by recognizing that we still know how to celebrate weddings, birthdays, graduations and holidays with our relatives. The people of Baraboo in the 1850's have created a community celebration menu for us to build upon. We can join together with our neighbors to have gardening, tea, quilting and book parties. We can open our houses of worship to all kinds of neighborhood celebrations. We can create opportunities to dance together, sing together, make music together and raise money together. We can join in enjoying the talents of our children and debates of public issues.
In all these ways, we can become a real community where we know everyone by name and experience their unique talents. Best of all, we can become real neighbors celebrating life together rather than living isolated lives in houses where electric tubes create a counterfeit life for us and our families.
John McKnight is an expert on communities. An Ohio native who currently lives near Chicago, he has spent decades organizing communities and researching them, primarily in the Windy City itself. In the course of his career, he mobilized neighborhoods during the civil rights movement, wrote several books about community development, created a center for urban affairs at Northwestern University, and even taught the current President a thing or two about advocacy. (Yes, it's true: way back when, a young and eager Barack Obama interned at McKnight's training program for community organizers in southeast Chicago). If that's not enough, he recently co-authored a book called "The Abundant Community: Awakening the Power of Families and Neighborhoods."
State of the Re:Union will be featuring pieces from John McKnight and Peter Block of Abundant Community every other Monday.

My attempt at a comprehensive review
I've used these for trail and road running approximately 100 miles now.
Overall: Great bass, fair to poor highs, great fit, but has a few functional issues.
Even though the highs are diminished, the bass and overall sound is still better than any headphones of this type I've ever heard. The fit is excellent. It is lightly spring loaded to hold each earbud in your ears. It never slips and is never uncomfortable for me for over 90 minutes at a time. Car traffic can still be heard pretty well.
The mic and controls are well-placed, but hard to distinguish the buttons while running. I've taken maybe 4 phone calls while running, and everyone has complained about wind noise and basically unusable sound quality. The cable is on the left side, which makes it a poor choice for a hands-free set while driving for me. The behind-the-head frame probably makes these a poor choice for use on an airplane, but I haven't tested that. I have rinsed them with water several times with no change in performance.
Two biggest complaints: Excessive wind noise while running or in any light breeze, and foam pads that constantly fall off. The wind noise is usually tolerable, but often not. The foam ear pads are a must if you sweat at all. Without them, the rubber earbuds become like toilet plungers on your eardrums. Not good. The foam pads mitigate that problem, but they are far too delicate and easily fall off when taking the headphones off. I have dropped the little foam pads on the trail several times, but miraculously found them again. Sennheiser needs to fix that and they need to give you at least a half dozen spare pairs.
I do like these, but for the price, they should not have the problems I noted. …- Written by Clay H from San Carlos

Worth it!
I've gone through two pair of Klipsch S4i's, two Apple sets, two Sony sets and none of them come close to these. They were even s mart enough to put the controls high enough that they won't be inside your shirt if you route your wire that way. Sweat ruined the mic and controls on both of my Klipsch that way. Amazing bass response, comfortable, don't move a bit. Everyone has different ears, but if they fit, they rock! …

Great sound and stays in my ears
I bought these headphones for use at the gym.
I've tried ones that hook over your ears or earbud ones and when I get a bit sweaty , they just slip out.
After much research and advice, I decided to opt for these. I cannot fault the sound quality or the fact they actually stay in place when I'm on the treadmill but I must have really odd ears. My right ear was absolutely fine yet after 2 hours in the gym, I could barely touch my left ear, I was so painful and bruised.
Sadly I'm going to have to return these......gutted as I though I'd found the perfect headphones :-( …- Written by Naomi L from London

Great all-around headphones!
I was in the market for a new pair of headphones and, having been duped by some cheaper headphones in the past, I was willing to s pend a few extra bucks for some decent ones. I have been using the headphones that come standard with the iPhone/iPod for years and really have no complaints about them. Although I enjoy clear, full-range sound, I am no audiophile; the Apple earbuds fit the bill just fine for me. And, up until the rubber surround on the earbuds deteriorated and came off, I had no issues with them staying in my ears either.
These were an excellent choice. The fit is quite comfortable, although the band around the back of the head doesn't sit as close to my head as I thought it would. That is minor, though, and I don't notice at all while I'm wearing them. I have worn them without the foam covers for a few runs (20-40 minutes per run) and don't have any complaints of ear pain or anything like that. The sound is crisp and clear, although it is a little biased towards the bass than the highs. Again, a minor thing (besides, the bass is typically the driving sound for your pace). The only thing I've noticed is wind noise. I run outside and whenever I'm running into a breeze, the wind noise is noticeable, however, not unbearable. For me, it's not a huge issue, but something to think about if you think it will be.
The volume control/microphone is actually pretty close to the headphones. I run the cable underneath my shirt and the controls sit above my collar. I just use the included clip to tether the cable to my collar and I'm good to go! The cable is also more than long enough for me to have my iPod attached to the waistband of my shorts without any pulling of the cord. All-in-all, I am happy with these and would recommend them to anyone searching for their next pair of headphones. …- Written by Zachary D from Turlock

When doing sit ups/anything that requires you to put your head down on flat surface, the neck band c auses the earbuds to pop out of your ears (sennheiser makes an in ear headphone with the same technology), but they are certainly moister proof.

Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conferences
The MAA, with funding from the Division of Mathematical Sciences at the National Science Foundation, provides support for institutions or groups of institutions that wish to initiate or expand undergraduate mathematics conferences designed to attract students throughout the region of the host campus.
The primary objective of the grant is to provide as many undergraduate students as possible with the opportunity to present mathematically-oriented talks and to better expand their knowledge of the wide range of theory, history, and applications of the mathematics sciences at conferences that are within their geographic region. The review committee is particularly interested in expanding the program to regions of the country that do not traditionally offer undergraduates an opportunity to give mathematical presentations.
For information on how to apply, see Applications.

Durant firefighters pulled two burning mattresses out of a vacant home Friday afternoon.
Firefighters were dispatched at 2:36 to a house at 1106 North Fifth Ave. after someone observed smoke coming from the home.
When firefighters arrived at the house, a small amount of smoke was showing. They made entry to the side and then the front doors.
Two burning mattresses were carried out the side door and put out.
The house, which had been converted to apartments, was vacant according to the fire department, and it had an electrical meter but the electricity was off.
Firefighters used fans to clear the house of smoke. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Firefighters cleared the scene at 4:04 that afternoon.

Over the years, research has led to a better understanding of addiction. And new technologies have allowed doctors and patients to really see how drug use affects the brain. Our Katie Gibas reports.
Dr. Elizabeth Berry is a clinical psychologist. She's worked with people who are drug and alcohol addicts for more than 30 years. "When it was just alcohol, as our knowledge of brain development grew, we could keep up with how these kinds of drugs like alcohol and heroin affected the developing brain. Now, with the synthetics, it's very difficult to know what's in these drugs, so it's very hard to predict how these drugs will affect developing brains and bodies," said Dr. Berry, a clinical psychologist at Crouse Hospital in Syracuse.
That use in young people is the biggest concern because the average age someone starts using drugs or alcohol is 14. And the brain doesn't stop developing until your mid to late 20s.
"The drugs are affecting the brain as it develops. It's the prefrontal or the cerebral cortex, the thinking part of the brain that is most clearly affected," said Dr. Berry.
Over the years, research has led to a better understanding of addiction. And new technologies have allowed doctors and patients to really see how drug use affects the brain.
"People say, 'I'm brain dead' or 'my brain is shrunk.' That actually is true. You can see that parts of the brain aren't lighting up. They're not functioning as well, and it changes the structural part of the brain.," said Dr. Berry.
Addiction is partially genetic and partially environmental, like many diseases including diabetes.
"I hear people say, 'Well they just need to stop drinking.' And it's kind of like someone saying to someone with diabetes, 'Well you just need to stop eating.' We still have this kind of mystical idea attached to chemical dependency that somehow it's will power, that you can choose whether or not to abuse a drug," said Dr. Berry.
Dr. Berry says if you have a family history of dependency, the best treatment is prevention. Don't start and don't experiment. If you get the disease, it's not curable. But it can be treated and managed if you make very real lifestyle changes and have the support system needed for success.

Safe Drinking Water Branch Groundwater Protection Program
SDWB Home | About SDWB | DW State Revolving Fund | Groundwater Protection Program | Newsletters/Reports | Rainwater Catchment | SWAP Program | Statutory Requirements | Training | UIC Program | Water Systems Operator Certification | Contact Us
Hawai`i's Groundwater Protection Program (GWPP) is a non-regulatory program whose goal is to protect human health and sensitive ecosystems by protecting groundwater resources. It's focus is on water quality assessment, and on developing pollution prevention and protection measures.
For more information on groundwater and what you can do to protect Hawaiis most important source of drinking water, click on EPAs Office of Groundwater and Drinking Water website
Groundwater Contamination Maps
The GWPP has issued Groundwater Contamination Maps for the State of Hawai`i since 1989. The maps are based on monitoring data for public drinking water wells and identify locations where groundwater contaminants have been detected and confirmed. The detected levels reported in the maps are below Federal and State drinking water standards established to protect public health. Appropriate public health protection measures are implemented before contaminant levels reach these standards.
The GWPP and the Clean Water Branch provided technical and financial assistance to the Moanalua Gardens Foundation (MGF) to revise and update the water lessons in MGFs `Ohi`a Project. MGF is a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve Hawai`is native culture and environment through education. The `Ohi`a Project is an environmental education curricula designed to assist teachers and students in making informed choices for Hawai`is island environment.
The `Ohi`a Project Water Lessons incorporate the Department of Educations current Content and Performance Standards III and include up-to-date information emphasizing groundwater conservation and protection, groundwater pollution and prevention, and groundwater education. The lessons cover the water cycle, the hydrology and geology of Hawai`i, the importance of watersheds and water rights, and other water topics. New student activities include role playing in watershed alliances, measuring rain, desalination, and the re-vegetation of Kaho`olawe.
MGFs water lessons can be downloaded in PDF format at MGFs web site under `Ohi`a Project, water lessons at: http://www.mgf-hawaii.com/
The Hawai`i State Department of Health prepared guidelines for golf courses to promote, protect and enhance environmental quality and public health. These recommendations cover measures that can prevent groundwater and surface water pollution, soil contamination, chemical spills, noise and solid waste nuisances, and unsafe exposure to applied chemicals. Under certain conditions, state or county regulations may be applicable to a given activity, and mandatory compliance would be required. However, the intent of these guidelines is to voluntarily foster environmental protection and safety.

I used to love this race, but their change to using gun times instead of chip times for a race this crowded is ridiculous. It's not a fair race if someone has a 3 second or 3 minute head start. The race director's response on the race website was to copy & paste some rules meant for elite athletes who start at the same time. I know several people who will not run this race again because of this.
This was a well done marathon. Packet pickup was well organized but there is no real expo, no real swag. The tech shirt is good but not outstanding and the finisher's medal is nice but not memorable. There are hotels located within 2 blocks of the start and finish which make things convenient. However, I would not recommend the Best Western Four Seasons, try the Cambria Suites instead. All the local hotels seem to raise the rates to unfortunate prices. I would like to see the race directors negotiate some hotel discounts. The course is out 13 miles and back 13 miles and pretty darn flat. If I remember correctly the high and low points are only separated by 20 feet. Somebody below posted something about hills. 20 feet does not a hill make. The first 2 miles the road is a little bit rough with some pot holes and broken pavement but not too bad. Previous comments about the camber of the road were not an issue. There are a couple spots where there is a bit of camber at the edges of the road but no one is stopping you from running in the middle of the road. One of the advantages of this course is no traffic. You have the whole two lanes to yourself. The water is visible for most of the course and there is a decent amount of shade on the course for those sunny event days. Half marathon runners start at the far end of the course and run towards you. They might be a factor for really fast runners but for the 4 hour marathoner, you will catch some of the half marathoners but they don't get in your way. The race is large enough that you are not alone and small enough that you don't feel too crowd weaving around slow people. The spectators are few but enthusiastic. Overall, this race is well done and I have no big complaints. In case you don't know, this is the cherry capital of the world. You can walk to the downtown area and visit some of the local shops selling trail mixes with local cherries that are downright delicious! They make great a great purchase to bring home with you.
This was a wonderful marathon experience from start to finish for me. As others have commented, packet pickup was crowded, but it was close enough to our hotel that we could walk to it without much hassle. The course itself was great, a simple out-and-back along the lake with breathtaking views of the bay. It's shaded along much of the route; I'd say maybe only 2-3 miles were in full sun, and it was well-supported with aid stations offering water, gatorade, Gu, candy, and soda (and some 'unofficial' ones offering beer and wine from a local vineyard). There are a couple of gently rolling hills on the course, but definitely nothing significant in the way of elevation change. It's really quite flat, and definitely a PR-type of course if you can handle the mental challenge of an out-and-back marathon route. As far as spectators go, there were quite a few clusters along the course, at least while I was running (finished under 3:30), and the local support was AWESOME! There were a few houses along the way that were passing out ice-cold towels to runners and some offering hoses to cool yourself off if needed. This year's shirt (2012) is a really nice design, and the medal is definitely my favorite (I like it even more than my Boston Marathon medal). The post-race refreshments were perfect for a warm early-summer dayice cream, watermelon, lemonade, and homemade baked goods (even some gluten-free cookies!), plus the usual post-race fare. Overall, this is a great race put on by a local track club. It very much has a 'local' feel to it, but in my opinion, that's one of the best things about it. I'm definitely planning to run this one again!
In terms of scenery, this has been the most beautiful course I have run so far. The organization was good but I must agree with a previous runner in regards to the traffic and parking issues at the expo. The Bayshore Marathon merchandise at Runners Fit was not on sale and this was a disapointment because they had a lot of Bayshore Marathon apparel but at elevated prices. The spectators were sparse but loud. I was concerned during the first half of the race because it was getting hot and the sun was really shining, but, thank God it got overcast on the second half with perfect conditions. I did not find the course hilly at all and I am from Miami, Florida where you can hardly find a hill. Overall, this is a great marathon to run on Memorial Day weekend and I highly recommend it.
First off, if your looking for a visually beautiful course go no further than Bayshore. The packet pick up was easy and effective, so no worries there. Race morning you need to be sure to use the restroom before you get there. The school has all (except a couple single stall) bathrooms closed. The porta potties have lines that are rediculous. All in all, you'll have that at races... The course has spectator view points but some people had a hard time getting out or were turned away. My wife was able to get out and about (via our car and a shuttle the race set up) and enjoyed watching. Spectators as a whole were limited to the 4 (or so) spectator points, so it got pretty quite out on the course at times. My biggest beef with the race was the mash up of half marathon runners and the marathon runners colliding. I finished in the top 15 and it was hell trying to get through all the half marathoners. It seemed they divided the two events in the last half mile, but the problem started about 4-5 miles back. I'm sure there were some frustration on both the half and full marathon runners alike.
Can't get much more scenic than this. Course runs along shore of Lake Michigan. Nice, flat, fast course. Weather was 55-60 degrees and sunny. I wish they had a better organized pre-race bag and pickup program. Also, the packet pickup was a nightmare in the parking lot. We were stuck there for over an hour. But other than that it was well organized. Lots of water and GU support during the race, at practically every mile. I'd definitely do this one again.
My first Bayshore and I'll be back. This gets it all right from the big things - great course, awesome logistics, nice size (good energy but not crowded) - to the details of the great swag (love the socks), dedicated organization and volunteers. Of course, helped this year with perfect weather but in any weather this is among that top tier of marathons that are worth travelling for.
Others can comment about the great course, fantastic weather, beautiful scenery, and friendly fans, but I want to say that I've never seen a more enthusiastic, supportive group of volunteers. From the check-in to the numerous water stations along the course to the people at the finish line, this race had plenty of volunteers who were absolutely fabulous. You guys showed Traverse City at its friendliest best and you should be really proud of what you have put together. My hat is off to you. Thanks so much for making the Bayshore Marathon an A+ experience.
Bayshore 2012 was my second marathon, and I will definitely be coming back. If you are from Michigan, you already know that nothing beats that 'up north' feeling on a holiday weekend. TC Track Club hosts a great race, and running up and down Old Mission peninsula was a thrill. Everything about the race seemed well thought out and well executed. Support on the course was enthusiatic. Packet pickup was efficient, but I was a little dissappointed that there was no Expo to speak of. I came prepared to spend money. The course was wonderful - great scenery and mostly flat. The out and back format really works, especially if you are running with a team as I was. It's really nice to be able to give out high fives to teammates before and after the turn-around. The only negative comment I have is that the half-marathon walkers in the race (and there are many) seem to generally be either unaware or unconcerned that walking 3 abreast across a narrow road was poor etiquette. Having to expend energy in miles 20-26 passing the groups of walkers carrying on a conversation in the middle of the road was a bit disconcerting to me. The race organizers were definitely aware of the problem, because it was always mentioned in the newsletters leading up to the race. Maybe get some marshalls out on the course moving the walkers to the side of the road? Other than that, great race! Well done TCTC!
This is my favorite race of the year. I did the full in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and did the half this year. I will come back as long as I am healthy enough and can afford to. The course is awesome and I love Traverse City. I came here to register a complaint about the awards procedure. A friend of mine ran a chip time that placed him third in one of the older age groups and fourth by gun time. He was denied the third-place age group award. The race organizers said that it's USATF rules to issue age group awards by gun time. The USATF, in fact, says nothing about how to issue age group awards. The USATF does have rules for gun time to be used for overall winners and prize money, for qualifying for the Olympic Trials and for national records - except in masters age groups, when chip times are acceptable, as fast 60-year-olds are unlikely to line up in the front row. There was nothing listed on the race's web site that awards are based on gun time. Every other race I've done - including Boston - uses the chip for gun times. Race organizers quickly posted something on the web site saying that gun time is used for awards, as per USATF rules, then took some USATF rules out of context. They quoted this line: 'Chip/net times cannot be used for qualifying.' It was a policy about qualifying for the OLYMPIC TRIALS, not for winning age group awards. That policy actually adds that 'special consideration' may be given for chip times in some cases. They are covering their butts and not doing a good job of it. The person denied the age group award is very well-connected and was able to get volumes of evidence to the contrary from respected people in the industry. Bayshore's stance on chip times is that it's basically an 'FYI' for runners. I actually was able to use chip times for Bayshore to qualify for Boston - though my gun time would also have worked, I was seeded according to the chip. The BAA is fine with chip times. Bayshore actually has signs at the start for people to line up according to their pace. However, if competitive age groupers have to worry about gun vs. chip times, you could see 50-, 60- and 70-year-old competitive men and women crowding their way to the start line with the young speedsters, making a congested start an even worse disaster. None of this will ever affect me, as I'm not likely to ever place in my age group here. This is a very competitive race, which is awesome.

Trafficking in human beings, especially women and children, in Africa
Apr 29 2010
Download right click "save as"
In recent years child trafficking has gained visibility as a major violation of children's rights and it is a priority concern for the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre (IRC). This research reaffirms this priority. The study builds upon previous UNICEF IRC work on child trafficking in eight countries in West Africa. It is framed by the important international normative framework agreed upon by the international community, particularly the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols, the Palermo Protocol to the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the ILO Convention 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour.

In a year when "Skyfall" has broken box office records for a Bond movie, and on the 50th anniversary of the franchise, the Academy has seen fit to honor the debonair British agent.
"We are very happy to include a special sequence on our show saluting the Bond films on their 50th birthday," the show's producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, said in a statement today. "Starting with 'Dr. No' back in 1962, the 007 movies have become the longest-running motion picture franchise in history and a beloved global phenomenon."
Maybe so, but 007 has otherwise found Oscar elusive – picking up only two statuettes in his screen history, for sound and visual effects. (The producer Albert R. Broccoli also received an Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award for the series.) With a surprise showing in the Producers Guild nominations, and other attention on its performances and look, "Skyfall" may be Bond's best chance at cracking the best picture list. A tribute is certainly one of the Academy's best efforts at drawing mass audiences and younger viewers.
The producers have so far been pretty tight-lipped about the style of the show, but the Bagger hopes the Bond segment involves a cascading series of M's, Q's, and Pussy Galores, and an interpretive "shaken, not stirred" theme dance. And it's a good bet that Oscar hopeful Adele, who sings the memorable theme for "Skyfall," will make a cameo.

Building a Secure Workforce: Guard Against Insider Threat |
In today's evolving and changing global environment, business in the public sector is increasingly more challenging. There is an ongoing need to adapt a more balanced and integrated approach to protecting information and other assets. As the world becomes a virtual community of competitors and predators, an organization's assets are at greater risk than in the past, when the world was more localized, compartmentalized and siloed. The dilemma that leaders face today is managing an evolving networked organization that is virtually connected, but secure.
As the continued growth of technology forces the world into a more networked work environment, it is important to sustain an integrated risk managed posture that assures that a compromise of critical assets does not result in a breach of national security, the loss of lives or lapse of public confidence. Developing strategies to mitigate the risk of asset loss may very well be the critical success factor that defines and prioritizes an organization's goals for success, whether the mission is national security, public safety, supply chain integrity or just sustaining market share.
The purpose of this paper is to define the risks associated with asset loss and an approach to mitigate an "insider" threat through the development and management of a secure workforce.
We discuss:
- Asset loss and insider threat defined
- Understanding the insider threat
- Risk indicators and characteristics
- Mitigating asset loss: a series of interventions and action plans
- Case reviews
