Former Pontiac City Councilman Peter Tenuta dies at age 81
Former Pontiac City Councilman Peter Tenuta, who was on the committee that hosted the Super Bowl XVI in Pontiac, died Sunday at the age of 81.
Mr. Tenuta, who owned and operated three Pontiac businesses and was active in many community organizations and efforts, left the council after having a stroke more than 20 years ago.
Married to Shirley Tenuta for 49 years, the couple raised five children.
He owned the popular Tenuta's Villa Rio Restaurant on Huron and Johnson from 1968 to 2006 in Pontiac; Jamie's Café in Pontiac; and Lupe's Restaurant in Pontiac.
The former councilman continued to be active in the community and his businesses for several years after his stroke.
"He was a a great father," said his son, Peter Tenuta. "Being in the restaurant business he had to be there in the evenings. But he was at every event, any kind of sports and school activities," in addition to serving on the city council and the community, his son said.
"He was demanding. He taught us the value of the work ethic. He didn't let anything slide; he kept on top of us, too. We always knew he loved us and sometimes it was tough love," his son said.
Mr. Tenuta also liked secrets and surprises.
One time, his son Peter Tenuta remembered fondly, "He called Mom and said I'm going to get a Grand Prix. What color should I get. She said red or black.
He came home and he had bought both, one for her and one for him," said his son.
Among the many boards and organizations on which he served were the Pontiac City Silverdome Stadium Authority; the City of Pontiac Police and Fire Retirement Board; Oakland County Historical Society Research Advisory Panel; Pontiac Central High School Parent Teacher Association as president; a member of Saint Michael's Parish in Pontiac; Pontiac Oakland Symphony; HAVEN for abused women and children; Oakland Community College Foundation; Pontiac Creative Arts Center; and Pontiac Planning Commission.
A staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force, Mr. Tenuta enjoyed his retirement, especially reading Sherlock Holmes novels, watching professional baseball, bowling and spending time with his family.
Over the years, he supported Pontiac Theater IV, Boys and Girls Club, Boy Scouts of America and sponsored Little League Baseball Teams.
The son of the late Michele and Amalia Tenuta, Mr. Tenuta is survived by his wife Shirley Tenuta; his children Ann Marie (Paul) Ferrell, Peter (Sonja) Tenuta, James (Lisa) Tenuta, Paula (James) Reynolds and Pollyanna (Justin) Orlich; his brothers Carl Tenuta, John (the late Vicki) Tenuta, the late Louis Tenuta, Rose (Roger) Landry, and Joanne (Bud) Hadden; and 15 grandchildren.
Visitation will be from 3 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at Donelson Johns Funeral Home, 5391 Highland Road, Waterford, with a 7:30 p.m. rosary.
A funeral service will be at 11 a.m. St. Vincent DePaul Church, 46408 Woodward Ave., Pontiac, with a 10 a.m. family visitation time.
Contact staff writer Diana Dillaber Murray at 248-745-4638 or email@example.com.

LONDON -- The shares of J Sainsbury (LSE:SBRY) (OTC:JSAIY) have rallied 1.5% to 371 pence as of 8 a.m. EDT after the supermarket issued a fourth-quarter update. The FTSE 100 member said its total sales advanced 7.1% during the 10 weeks to March 16, with like-for-like sales up 4.2%. Excluding fuel, total sales improved 6.3% and like-for-like sales increased 3.6%.
Chief executive Justin King, said: "We have delivered strong sales in the fourth quarter, increasing market share and outperforming in what remains a tough retail environment. Over the quarter, we grew customer transactions to 22.9 million per week, serving more customers than ever."
King also claimed the supermarket's convenience store operation had grown 18% year on year on the back of new outlets and strong like-for-like sales. He also revealed that the group's online division had seen its sales improve by nearly 20% during the last 12 months, with 190,000 customers now receiving deliveries every week.
Another highlight was general merchandise and clothing, sales of which advanced at nearly three times the rate of the company's food sales. Sainsbury's confirmed that February saw annual sales of its general merchandise range top 1 billion pounds for the first time.
Prior to today, City experts reckoned the supermarket's current-year earnings could top 29 pence per share and that its 12-month dividend may be nearly 17 pence per share. Such projections suggest the shares trade at less than 13 times possible profits and offer a potential income of 4.5%. Of course, whether today's statement and the share price valuation now combine to make Sainsbury a buy remains your decision.
But if you already own Sainsbury shares and are seeking other high-yield possibilities, this special free report reviews eight alternative large-cap income stocks. Indeed, the blue chips in question are core holdings in a high-profile dividend portfolio that has turned 10,000 pounds into 193,000 pounds during the last 25 years.

This quiz website is provided by Ride Illinois, a statewide non-profit organization, as a convenient, interactive way for bicyclists and drivers to learn more about safely sharing our roads. The Secretary of State is one of our project partners.
The Truck Driver quiz has 26 multiple-choice questions divided into Bronze (13 questions), Silver (8), and Gold (5) levels. The questions cover on-the-road situations, techniques, common mistakes, and relevant laws when sharing the road with bicycles. The Truck Driver quiz is applicable for bus and other heavy vehicle drivers, too.
You'll likely find many questions challenging. That's OK! The feedback provided to your answers is meant to be the teaching method. We will re-ask those questions you miss - you get up to three chances to correctly answer each question. Once you answer each question in one level correctly, you may move up to the next level. The highest priority questions are in Bronze but see if you can get the Gold!
You may print or e-mail a "certificate of completion" if you successfully complete at least one level. If needed, you may "Exit Quiz".
You're invited to also try the Adult Bicyclist quiz later, to better understand laws and skills applicable to cyclists.
Good luck! (Project background, motivation, and credits here.)

We are open to all ideas; make the logo fit with the name and the description of app/site.
The name is a play on words:
Paññā (Buddhist term for wisdom) + panorama.
One idea we had was a Buddhist theme, one design we really like is zendesk.com, very nice green. Also the concept of a panorama (wide-angle view) + concept of wisdom acquired from viewing the world through our app. But all those can just be a starting point, we are open to all ideas.
We just want to request:
1. No use of any stock images or clip art in the logo.

Its equally competent companion features a wide, flat serving surface. Designed by New Mexico native Aaron Johnson, each piece is forged of lustrous, durable, rust-resistant 18/10 stainless steel and is dishwasher safe.

Help set me apart from the rest; I need a logo for my new, woman-owned online marketing/web strategy consulting business. It's all about the relationships I build with people....so I want it to have an open, friendly feel - like you're talking to a smart, trusted friend that always looks really pulled together in a classicly hip way - not trendy
I'd like it express fluidity, be upscale looking but 'approachable' & convey a nice, warm feeling -
Logo would be used for cards, web site, print, etc.
Would also like ideas that will translate for web page layout for a service company
etelligence consulting
web consulting; emarketing, strategy, integrated programs, etc. Also doing executive search (etelligencesearch.com) Needs to be professional but not stodgy and predictable - crisp, clean and a mod twist on traditional - choice of fonts really important!! they say a lot!
Great example: http://www.alternativeorganics.com
love this logo! It conveys the essence of what I'm hoping to achieve... simple, fresh, catches your eye
Also: http://184.108.40.206/img/fitnessplan.jpg
this is a different style but still captures the 'feel' I'm looking for in it's clean, graphic simplicity.
colors I like: grey, verdant grassy greens, yellow, black, white, lavender, periwinkle --
etelligence consulting
tag line: common sense solutions
same logo will be used for other part of my business, executive search;
etelligence executive search
tag line: body shops are for cars, not people
definetely no rainbows :) nothing cutesy, no florals, would like it to be somewhat gender-neutral so it will appeal to both men and women...not a stock, bank or financial services looking logo

About Growing Without Schooling
The complete set of back issues for Growing Without Schooling magazine. GWS 1, Summer, 1977, to GWS 143, Nov./Dec., 2001, are scanned and online. You can also read selections from various issues and purchase the retyped and edited of GWS, volumes 1 and 2.
Growing Without Schooling: The Complete Collection, Volume 1.
The first 19 issues of GWS, with lots of commentary and articles by John Holt. You really get a feelign for the developing ideas of John Holt and the fears and bold actions of early homeschoolers who blazed the trail to make homeschooling legal and socially acceptable. Much of the material is timeless, as you can see by reading some of the selected stories from this collection.
Founded in 1977 by John Holt, Growing Without Schooling (GWS) was the first magazine published about homeschooling, unschooling, and learning outside of school. After 24 years of continuous publication, GWS closed in 2001.
As you can see, John packed every inch of each page with information, reflecting his fondness for low-cost publishing and distribution techniques. Of course, this was also a matter of survival since homeschooling was not widely known in the late seventies and self-publishing was not nearly as sophisticated then as it is now with personal computers. One can see how GWS grew and changed over the years since John died, and how our attempts to increase circulation, subscriptions, and awareness worked or failed. Our book catalog and publications, speaking engagements, and consulting work all contributed to keep GWS afloat.
However, the Internet's free information and support undercut the paid subscription model for GWS; big box bookstores and Amazon made many independent booksellers and publishers, such as Holt Associates, close; and, as unschooling grew in numbers, fractures among unschoolers became more pronounced—some felt GWS was becoming "too organized" (as one former subscriber informed me). All these factors, plus the personal toll of making a payroll and running a small business made GWS difficult for us to keep operating (unlike many home- and unschooling businesses, Holt Associates was never owned and operated by a single family or funded by any educational, corporate, or religious interests) .
I hope you will be inspired to help children learn in their own ways by reading these issues, as thousands of people over the past 34 years have been inspired. Rather than listen to experts tell you what unschooling is and how you must do it, I hope you will read these articles, read John Holt's books, and other books and materials that we published or recommended through John Holt's Bookstore Catalog (you'll see the catalog bound into many of the original issues and many of them are available for free here on the site), and the many new books, videos, and websites that now exist for unschooling so you can make unschooling work for you and your family in YOUR own way.
John Holt founded, edited, and published the first eight years of Growing Without Schooling magazine, but it is through the effort and commitment of its subsequent editors—Donna Richoux, Susannah Sheffer, and Meredith Collins—that GWS grew and thrived for sixteen years after Holt's death. Though I was president and publisher during that time, it was Donna, Susannah, and Meredith who shaped each issue, corresponded and worked with all the writers to GWS, and made sure the content not only stayed true to Holt's vision of what GWS should be, but also expanded this vision and complemented it with books, research, and interviews with many thinkers and doers both in and out of school. GWS couldn't exist without all the readers who shared their stories; but behind this, it couldn't exist without the work and dedication of its editors.
—Pat Farenga, Publisher
Donna Richoux was responsible for getting GWS to be printed on a regular schedule, which was no small feat given John's easy-going original publishing schedule. I don't know how we would have continued publishing and growing if Donna hadn't been there to help us negotiate the considerable changes to HoltGWS after John died.
Susannah Sheffer deserves special kudos not only for being the longest-serving editor of GWS (she edited more than twice as many issues of GWS as John did), but also for her creation of publications from GWS stories (see GWS Materials) and her amazing books about John Holt and homeschooling:
A Life Worth Living: Selected Letters of John Holt (Ohio State Univ. Press, 1991)
Writing Because We Love To: Homeschoolers at Work (Heinemann, 1992)
A Sense of Self: Listening to Homeschooled Adolescent Girls (Heinemann, 1995)
In the years since GWS's closing, Susannah has gotten involved in other kinds of work, while also continuing her commitment to John Holt's vision by working part-time at North Star: Self-Directed Learning for Teens, a program that helps make a lot of the benefits of homeschooling available to teenagers who probably wouldn't otherwise choose it. In all her endeavors, Susannah still does a lot of writing, editing, and listening to people's stories.
Meredith Collins edited several issues before we had to cease publication, and she came on-board knowing the risk she was taking. Meredith learned a demanding job and continued to produce high-quality and provocative issues during a particularly stressful time for Holt Associates and her grace under pressure is incredible. Meredith continues to support children and families in pursuit of joyful authentic learning – as a coach and consultant in Portland, Maine, and with her blog. Meredith is currently at work on a book about a paradigm shift in education which would allow all young lives to be shaped by individual potential and capacity (rather than only by the priorities of traditional academic ideology).
Aaron Falbel and Elsa Haas, two Holt Associates who worked tirelessly behind the scenes at GWS, deserve mention here, too. Aaron proofread each issue of GWS for many years, catching errors and commenting wisely on a wide number of topics. He also helped us in a variety of roles at conferences and in the office and his presence made our work better and more enjoyable (especially when he brought in his latest baking efforts).
Elsa, after working with us at Holt, moved to Spain and decided to help the nascent Spanish homeschooling movement grow by translating GWS into Spanish (Aprender Sin Escuela), networking with interested people, and offering her smart observations about homeschooling to her Spanish friends.

Hershey Sweetens Marketing Deal With NCAA, Expands March Madness Presence
By Barry Janoff
September 5, 2012: The Hershey Co., which has been an official NCAA Corporate Partner since 2008, said it has extended its alliance for four years to remain the official candy partner of the NCAA and for its Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to remain as the NCAA's official candy.
The deal was signed with CBS Sports and Turner Sports, which as part of the current 14-year multi-media agreement manage the NCAA's corporate marketing program.
In addition, Hershey has a new sponsorship deal with sports marketing and multi-media firm IMG College, which gives Reese's "collective and individual rights" at 49 universities nationwide for all intercollegiate athletics, as well as designation as the "official candy" at each of the respective athletic programs.
Both agreements will run through 2016. Financial terms were not disclosed.
In addition to Hershey, NCAA Corporate Partners include Allstate, Buick, Enterprise, Infiniti, LG, Lowe's, Northwestern Mutual, Unilever, UPS and Kraft Foods division Nabisco's Wheat Thins.
NCAA Corporate Champions are AT&T, Capital One and Coca-Cola.
Lowe's last week also signed with IMG College to expand its college footprint and secure exclusivity in the home improvement at schools across the country.
As part of the NCAA renewal, Hershey retains access to marketing rights across all 89 NCAA championships, including continued title sponsorship of the Reese's College All-Star Game during the NCAA Men's Final Four Weekend and title sponsorship of Reese's Final Four Friday.
The men's Division I basketball championship is scheduled for April 6 and April 8, 2013, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Hershey said it would support the partnership with "integrated marketing programs, promotional campaigns, activation platforms, social and digital media and advertising across a variety of mediums at the national, regional and local levels."
Via its deal with IMG College, Hershey's Reese's brand will have exclusive category opportunities including radio advertising in school football radio broadcasts, promotional use of trademarks and logos and digital and social media rights.
"This is an exciting time for Hershey as we extend our role as part of a prestigious group of NCAA partners [and] expand our presence within the collegiate realm."
"This is an especially exciting time for Hershey as we not only extend our role as part of a prestigious group of NCAA partners, but also expand our presence within the collegiate realm through our partnership with IMG College," Dan Vucovich, svp, president, United States, for The Hershey Co. "The devotion, loyalty and tremendous following fans have for their respective NCAA teams mirrors the passion and desire people have for our iconic Reese's candy, making the NCAA, Turner Sports, CBS Sports and IMG ideal partners to collaborate with and successfully market our full line of products."
According to Mark Lewis, evp-championships and alliances for the NCAA, "Over the years, Hershey has demonstrated leading business principles and values, which echo the NCAA's dedication to the highest standards in academics and athletics. We are thrilled Hershey will remain in the NCAA Corporate Partner family, and we look forward to four more successful years of working together."

We will help implement the proper risk management strategy and insurance coverages to protect the business you have created and to ensure that your business continues to have an opportunity to succeed and grow.
As a business owner, you are potentially liable for every product, service, and operation relating to your business. While sound procedures may be stressed throughout your organization, the fact remains that no person or machine is perfect. In spite of your best efforts, harm caused to a third party relating to your business could lead to litigation.
Commercial liability insurance is designed to protect business owners and assets from a variety of exposures. It can cover liability arising from accidents on or off premises, to products sold by the insured that result in injury to the user, to contractual liability, leaving an owner free to concentrate on managing their business.
Commercial liability insurance pays for expenses such as attorney's fees, witness fees, and police reports. The coverage goes beyond the basic expenses of a legal defense to cover any reasonable expenses the business owner may incur at the insurance company's request to assist in the planning of their defense. The liability policy will also fund the premium for any bond the court requires, ensuring that the judgment will be paid if the business owner is found legally liable for an injury or property damage.
Imagine that a fire breaks out and you lose your entire inventory. Or your business is burglarized causing physical damage and possibly lost assets. Your ability to recover from these incidents is dependent on your commercial property insurance.
In case of catastrophes like fire, explosion, theft, or vandalism, property insurance helps cover your costs, whether it's to repair damaged property or replace what you've lost. In addition, property coverage can provide business interruption income if a covered loss forces you to close your business for an extended period of time. Protecting your business property insures your peace of mind if a disaster occurs.
Have you reviewed your workers compensation policy lately? Although workers compensation is required by law, the coverage, service, and price isn't always the same. Workers compensation is a critical piece of every risk management plan. It protects your business and employees from work-related exposures.
Here are some benefits of our in-house program that sets us apart:
Our objective is to keep your premium under control so you can maximize capital in other aspects of your business.
Worried about a catastrophic claim depleting your future income and business assets? Every business is vulnerable to devastating losses and lawsuits that could possibly exceed your primary insurance coverage.
Worry less about an unexpected event by supplementing your existing general, auto, and liability limits with an umbrella liability policy. This coverage is relatively inexpensive and provides additional protection for your business investment.
Here's how it works: Umbrella coverage, sometimes known as excess, extends the limits of your liability coverages to protect against larger, more catastrophic claims. This coverage takes effect when your underlying policy limits have been exceeded. The umbrella basically affords you with a convenient, inexpensive way to increase your overall limits.
Imagine you were involved in an accident in your personal vehicle while engaged in company business. Did you know your personal insurance may not cover you?
What if you have employees on the road making service calls to customers? What coverage do they have?
Also consider if your company's valuable equipment is within a vehicle and that property is lost or stolen...is it covered? A typical auto insurance policy usually does not cover these types of risks.
Commercial auto insurance provides valuable protection for your company-owned vehicles, leased or rented vehicles, and your employees' vehicles used for business purposes. Major coverages are the same as with personal auto insurance. Auto insurance pays for damages due to an accident, or damages caused by fire, theft, flood, and vandalism. It also provides liability coverage for injuries to people and property damage when you are at fault in an accident.
Downtime due to vehicle mishaps can results in lost profits. Protecting your commercial vehicle fleet with business auto insurance will aid in minimizing downtime and preserving your bottom line.
Are you a business owner, officer, board member, manager or supervisor? Do you have any role in administering your company benefit or retirement plans? If so, then your day-to-day decisions could not only involve a claim against your company but you could be putting your personal assets at risk as well.
Executive liability insurance is designed to protect exposures inherent in nearly every business that the standard general liability policy does not address. The three principal areas your need exists are in:
Do you have business equipment, materials, or supplies in transit? Do you store business property in an off-site location? Protect some of your most valuable business property or equipment wherever it may be.
Inland marine insurance provides coverage for loss exposures to business property that cannot be conveniently or reasonably confined to a fixed location. This insurance provides coverage for materials in transit, movable equipment, and unusual property.
This broad type of coverage was developed for shipments that do not involve ocean transport. Inland marine covers articles in transit by all forms of land and air transportation as well as bridges, tunnels, and other means of transportation and communication.
Inland marine coverage can be customized to meet the individual needs of your business. Specific coverages available include:
The Leavitt Group brings together long-standing relationships with the surety marketplace and the resources necessary to help you manage your company's surety program. We are also committed to satisfying your contractual obligations while protecting your assets and supporting your current and future business needs.
Surety bonding is a valuable credit resource – one that can be vital to your company's well-being. Surety is a relationship-driven business. In support of your line of credit, the surety company wants to understand your company's operation, its business philosophy, and financial situation.
The Leavitt Group surety professionals act as your advocate working to establish and maintain your surety relationship. We gather and present data to underwriters, facilitate underwriting meetings, respond to surety questions, as well as provide daily service to your inquiries and requests. Our market knowledge is the key to establishing a successful surety program for your business.
White-collar crime is one of the fastest-growing, widespread problems facing businesses today. Crimes involving fraud and embezzlement can go undetected for years. By the time they are discovered, the losses sustained can have a devastating and irreparable effect on your bottom line. Regardless of your business size, you are a potential victim of white collar crime.
Workplace crime can happen to any business at any time. Although, it can have a bigger impact on a smaller business due to limited resources, workplace crime can happen even in the best work environments.
Crime coverage protects against losses from employee theft and dishonesty, credit card forgery, computer fraud and theft, and disappearance and destruction of property. This coverage protects current and future business assets as well as your business' credibility.
Although this risk is increasingly more common – and very costly - fewer than half of all companies protect themselves with crime coverage. Make sure your business is one that carries this critical coverage as part of your risk management strategy.
Are you a small-business owner looking for comprehensive insurance coverage all in one policy?
Since small to mid-size businesses usually face the same degree of risk, a one-package policy called a Business Owners Policy or "BOP" is available to fit the needs of your business. A BOP combines protection from all major property and liability risks in one package.
A Business Owners Policy is designed specifically for your business and industry. The coverage is generally less expensive than if purchased through separate insurance policies.
We can help you determine through a risk analysis if the BOP make sense for your business, or if a customize commercial package is needed to meet the risks you face.

January 26, Geneva, Switzerland – UNOSAT took delivery today of its second UAV in a little over one month, this time a so-called quadrocopter. This latest model will be used to diversify UNOSAT's mini-UAV fleet and to complement the Programme's local mapping capacity. The quadrocopter is particularly suitable for close-up assessments and inspections and it is able to acquire aerial imagery and videos over the same location for a given period of time. The UAV, called md4-200, is produced by Microdrones GmbH of Germany.
UNOSAT is conducting internal testing on the UAV in areas such as disaster risk reduction, disaster preparedness, emergency response, environmental assessments, digital elevation model baseline data creation and more. This capacity will also benefit UN agencies in the field and other partners. UNOSAT can deploy its UAVs with trained personnel to fly them and, more importantly, to carry out aerial photo processing directly in the field for detailed mosaic datasets down to 5 cm resolution, with an average coverage for a 30 minutes flight of about 1 km square.
The quadrocopter can be pre-programmed for fully automated autopilot flight, as well as manually directed. "We are particularly excited to see how our UAVs perform in the field in various situations such as environmental assessments, where access to detailed imagery is fundamental" says Wendi Pedersen, analyst at UNOSAT and one of the team of UNOSAT experts trained to operate the quadrocopter.
The acquisition by UNOSAT of mini-UAVs is part of a strategic data integration plan which includes several other innovations in use at UNOSAT such as web-mapping and geo-tagging. For example, when UAV photo upload is needed in near real time, UNOSAT is implementing the GEO-PICTURES solution using ASIGN, a global image communication system for satellite and wireless links developed by AnsuR.

Livestock and poultry producers are concerned about higher feed prices and tighter supplies, and ethanol continues to take much of the blame. However, Matt Hartwig with the Renewable Fuels Association says the ethanol industry will produce almost 40 million metric tons of livestock feed this year in the form of distillers grains, which is not accurately reflected in supply and demand statistics.
"We really are about producing a low carbon renewable fuel, a high value, high protein nutrient rich livestock feed," Hartwig said. "When a bushel of corn enters an ethanol plant, fully one-third of that bushel gets returned to the livestock feed market in the form of distillers grains. So when you hear numbers about the amount of corn used in ethanol production, you need to make sure that number is a net number."
Hartwig says ethanol has helped add value to corn, which should be positive for all of agriculture. He says many livestock producers who also raise grain understand the dynamics of it. Many of the corporate investors in livestock have been complaining because they want corn priced like it was 15 years ago.
As livestock producers have approached Congress about the feed availability issue and raised the food versus fuel flag again, Hartwig encourages lawmakers to look at more than just the price of corn.
"Today a pound of pork chops retails for around $3.50," Hartwig said. "In that pound of pork chops there is roughly 30 cents worth of corn at today's corn price. That's less than 10% of the total price so there are other factors after that pig leaves the farm that influences the prices consumers pay at the retail level. It's time that we address those, things like high gasoline prices, high diesel prices, high energy prices, the labor and the manufacturing and the advertising. All of that helps bump up the price that consumers pay in the aisle far more than the price of corn."
The House Agriculture Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy and Poultry held a hearing Wednesday afternoon on the concerns of livestock and poultry producers about feed availability.

Super Mario in New Donk City

Former basketball star Dennis Rodman said on Friday he was willing to trade places with Kenneth Bae, an American missionary imprisoned in North Korea, the next time he visits his friend, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
Rodman, in a live interview with CNN from a substance abuse rehabilitation facility in the New York City area, said he felt sympathy for Bae's family.
Earlier this month, an agitated, drunken Rodman gave an interview with CNN from North Korea in which he suggested that Bae was responsible for his imprisonment.
Rodman, who has made four trips to North Korea, said he knew nothing of Bae's case when he first mentioned him – and still does not.
"I have sympathy – I don't want anyone in any country or anywhere in the world to be hostage for something maybe they did or did not do," Rodman said in Friday's interview.
"I would do anything … if they said, 'We'll take Dennis Rodman and we'll let Kenneth Bae go', you know what? I'd do that, straight ahead. Take me. I would do that."
He also offered to take his CNN interviewer, Chris Cuomo, to North Korea with him.
Bae was detained in North Korea in 2012 while leading a tour group and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for subversion.
Rodman was one of the National Basketball Association's top rebounders during his 1986-2000 career and earned a spot in the Hall of Fame.
He played for five teams and his flamboyant personality, tattoos, body piercings and multi-colored hair at times outshone his skills.
On his January trip Rodman took a contingent of other former NBA players for an exhibition game in Pyongyang. He sang "Happy Birthday" at a celebration marking the 31st birthday of Kim, who he called his best friend and a great leader.
Rodman checked into the rehab center shortly after returning from North Korea earlier this month.

This is my grandmother's crostata, it's beautiful, tasty and most of all- very easy to make. I had some friends over for dinner and since my menu was of the Italian inclination, it gave me the perfect opportunity to make it, (not that I really needed an excuse). It was sort of a last minute affair so we made a simple one dish meal of Pasta Pepperonata with Italian Sausage, a beautiful arugula and Cannellinni bean salad and for dessert I served the raspberry crostata. This was an easy and very satisfying meal which did not require a whole lot of work. I wish I would have had time to photograph everything, but eating and enjoying the food sort of got in the way! The crostata, I had prepared the day before, so it made it to the blog.
You may use any kind of jam or preserves you like, I have used apricot, strawberry and pineapple before- they all taste really yummy. I also really like that the ingredients are simple are most likely to be in my pantry at any given time. The dough for the crostata is sort of between a cake and a pie dough. The directions may sound a little odd, but this was my grandmother's recipe and I'm not going to change it. The only difference in the preparation from hers and mine is that I use a pastry blender and she used a fork. The measurements for the flour are in grams because that is how she gave them to me, when I make it again I will measure in cups after weighing and update the recipe.
Italian Jam Crostata
300 grams all purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
150 grams cold butter, cut into small pieces
2 eggs
zest of one lemon
pinch of salt
4 tablespoons of your favorite jam or preserves
Preheat oven to 400 F
1.Butter a 9" springform pan and set aside.
2. Place flour in a large mixing bowl, make a well in the center and add the eggs. With a pastry blender or fork, start incorporating the eggs into the flour. Add the butter and work into the dough for a couple of minutes. (the dough will be in clumps).
3. Add the sugar, lemon zest, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Continue to work the dough with the fork or pastry blender until is it very crumbly. At this point I start working the dough with my hands until it starts coming together, I do this is the bowl to avoid kneading it on the counter and incorporating too much flour. Once the dough comes together it will be a little sticky.
4. On a lightly floured surface knead the dough a couple of times, then make a ball and cut off one third of it with a knife. (for the lattice)
5. Roll out the larger ball of dough into about a nine inch circle and press into the springform pan. Making sure the dough is evenly distributed in the pan. Prick the dough with a fork, then add the preserves spreading evenly.
6. Make little balls out of the reserved dough and roll each one into a strip- these do not need to be all even and perfect. Place the strips over the jam, pressing lightly at the edges to adhere them to the crust.
7. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly golden. You may serve it warm with some whipped cream or ice cream, or by itself at room temperature. The crostata will keep covered at room temperature for 1 week. (mine never lasts that long!)

Alexander Calls Time on IRONMAN Racing
The most decorated Australian triathlete in history announces his retirement from IRONMAN racing.
by Ian Hepenstall
Three-time IRONMAN World Champion Craig Alexander fought back tears after crossing the line in fifth place at the IRONMAN Asia-Pacific Championship Melbourne.
"I want to pay tribute to my wife Neri, and all the people who have supported me over the journey," he said. "I feel like my body is a rental car and I've been racing with the handbrake on for a while now. I don't want to be fifth, I want to be the guy on the podium spraying everyone with champagne."
A swim that left him two minutes off the pace meant Alexander spent the day chasing those in front of him and, even after digging deep into his kit bag and retrieving one more blistering fast run split, Alexander was unable to make up the time he lost at the beginning of the day.
"I'm 41 in two and a half months, it's going to take me a long time to recover. It's hard because I want to win, but I'm not what I used to be," he said. "That marathon hurt me more than any marathon I've ever run, I dug as deep as I could, I put myself in a terrible position. I salvaged a top five, but I've never been happy with a top five."
Alexander said he has now realised he can't come to a big race 90 per cent fit and still win.
"It has been a good run, you get what you deserve in life and I've had a good run. I have a business that has been up and running now for a year. The most important thing to me is my family, I have a wife and three beautiful kids and I need to spend more time with them. The thing is I'm just sick of saying no to my kids, 'no we can't go to the park because I'm too tired, we can't go to the beach because I'm tired.' They are older now they want to hang out with dad, they want to go fishing with me and I want to do stuff with them, no regrets. They need to be my focus now."
Alexander, who coaches the day's second-place getter Paul Matthews, said he would now devote more of his time to coaching.
"I want to see Paul in Kona. He has the game to do well there. He's tough, he's old school tough, and I think he can do really well. I'm taking him to the next level and that's where he's going."
Alexander said he would look to continue racing IRONMAN 70.3 races when it suited his schedule, but has no immediate racing plans.

Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Harry doesn't have any specialty cocktails available at Hog's Head Pub as of yet. But he should. And, if he did, these recipes that we created would be them!
Golden Pumpkin
Originally drunk as an elixir to keep acromantulas at bay, this delicious cocktail has been found to also cure deathly chills on a cold night.
- 1 part Goldschlager (or other cinnamon schnapps), 3 parts Pumpkin Juice. Served piping hot.
Pumpkin Cobbler
Rich spices and sweet peaches join forces to cast a powerful spell that you won't soon forget.
- 1 part Goldschlager, 1 part peach schnapps, 1 part good vodka, 3 parts Pumpkin Juice. Shake with ice and serve up (in a chilled martini glass) or on the rocks. For a twist on this cocktail you could substitute other sweet liquors for the peach schnapps, such as Chambord, Midori, banana schnapps etc.
So good, so unique that you must show this cocktail proper respect by bowing before it. Remember, yuh always wait fur the Potterpolitan to make the firs' move.
- 1 part Chambord, 1 part Absolut Citron (or other citrus vodka), 2 parts Pumpkin Juice and a squeeze of lime. Shake with ice and serve in a chilled martini glass.
You don't choose the Potterita, the Potterita must choose you. And you'd better hope it does, magic must have been involved to create this smooth and tangy twist on the original.
- 3 parts tequila, 2 parts sweet and sour mix, 2 parts Pumpkin Juice. Shake with ice and serve on the rocks or blend with ice. Either way, serve in a sugar rimmed glass.
Hot Buttered Pumpkin
Allegedly a stolen recipe from Dumbledore's office, this amazing recipe is begging to be made at your next holiday party. Literally, it's begging. Would you just hurry up and make it already to shut it up?!
- 1 part rum, 3 parts Pumpkin Juice, 1 teaspoon of butter per 8oz drink. Microwave or heat the pumpkin juice on the stove with the butter. Once the butter is melted, stir and then add the rum.
Spiced Butterbeer
Served at all the wizard parties . . . well, the cool wizard parties.
- 1 part spiced rum, 1 part Stoli Vanil Vodka, 4 parts butterbeer (or other cream soda), serve neat (without ice) and top with rediwhip whipped cream that's been beaten to remove the bubbles and thin the consistancy slightly. Be sure your ingredients are ice cold or you'll have a warm drink. If making as a punch, float a single large ice cube (made in a bread pan) as to not water it down and have the whipped cream in a bowl for topping.
Pumpkin Juice
I know what you've been thinking . . .
"These look great, too bad I can't get my hands on any of that awesome pumpkin juice."
I'm sure you've found the recipes out there that call for a pumpkin that's chopped and juiced and mixed with things like pineapple juice. While I won't say they may not be good in their own way, I will tell you that they're not even close to what's at WWOHP as they're missing a few key ingredients to get the right flavor profile. You know PTTP wouldn't let you down! I haven't met the recipe our sophisticated squade team can't crack - enjoy the closest thing you can get without hopping on your broom for a trip to Florida.
- Because the pumpkin juice ingredients are in such small proportions I'm breaking from the part measurement standard for this recipe.
Pumpkin Juice Recipe
- 8oz apple juice, 3oz Petit brand pear nectar, 3 tablespoons of pumpkin pie filling, 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg. Blend the ingredients in a blender to properly incorporate. Yes, it's supposed to be a little "pulpy", just like it is in WWOHP.
These cocktail recipes are original creations by Party Through The Parks. If you post them on other sites, please link back here to give credit. Thank you!

Wow, what timing. We have been trying to simply explain why there is no other mountain bike coaching like BetterRide and why our students love us so much and then we got this email from a potential student (and yes, we wish all mountain bike riders were as astute as this guy):
"I'm thinking about taking the three day camp, but I have a couple questions. I have taken other training sessions with other organizations and they seem more like a group ride, which is not what I'm looking for. Are yours actual training and instruction? How many kids per instructor? I have taken scuba and kayak group trainings and they are painful. I see the benefit in watching and learning from others successes and failures, but I don't want to be sitting in a line of 20 people waiting my turn wasting time. I guess I just want to make sure I'm getting the bang for my buck. Also, is women's only training the same? My spouse may be interested if I'm successful. Thanks"
Our reply, "Thanks for writing. I LOVE your email. You will love our camp. We teach a 19-21 hour curriculum spread over three days that is a large quantity of specific theories and drills that add up to the core skills of mountain biking. We don't just show you good riding or even just tell you to have proper body position. We teach specific drills that will make things like proper body position become automatic for you on the bike. (you have to do the drills though!) We offer a money back guarantee if this is not the best investment you ever made in your riding. We aren't out to create the funnest three days for you, we strive to make those three days the best use of your time towards drastically improving your bike handling skills. The women's curriculum is largely the same as the Co-ed camps. Most co-ed camps have multiple women in them. We coach 8 students at a time (occasionally 11- 14 with a second coach).
Better Ride"
His reply to our email: "Gabe, thanks for all the info. Sounds like this is exactly what I want. I consider myself an advanced beginner rider that can't turn. I'm still trying to find something or someone that has something negative to say about these camps and I can't. So I will be signing up for one in the next couple months, just need to pick the place. I'm in Phoenix, but would not be opposed to going somewhere close."
Well, that pretty much sums it up, structured, drill based coaching, low rider coach ratio and no bad reviews! (tons of extremely positive ones though) We really want to help you mountain bike way better and get even more enjoyment out of your riding and/or racing. Our money back guarantee and glowing reviews from riders just like you*, riders way better than you**, other coaches*** and riders not as good as you are testament to our passion for coaching. Do yourself a favor and sign up for a three day skills progression today!

Mitch Ropelato: " Ya, Gene Hamilton is to thank for that, I took is clinic last December in Bootleg Canyon and he was able to show me the correct technique I needed to pull them off."
* Here is what two passionate riders had to say after one of our camps:
Hi Gene,
Thank you for creating what has been one of the best learning experiences of our lives. We traveled all the way from Australia to attend your camp in Golden, Colorado and it was worth every penny! Andy was a fantastic teacher with great personal skills. He has our highest commendation for creating a safe, exciting and fun environment for learning.
It is refreshing to find someone who understands their field well enough to be able to deconstruct difficult and often hard to pinpoint concepts. This is a rare talent. We appreciate all of the careful thought that you and Andy have put into creating the mountain bike skills curriculum. The content was well-organized into different sections, and logically progressed from foundational skills (like body position and braking) to more difficult skills (like cornering). It is obvious that you have spent a lot of time not only thinking about how to mountain bike, but also how to teach it to others.
Learning these mountain biking skills has truly made us "betterriders". Thank you for the opportunity to attend your camp and we look forward to attending a core skills camp #2 !
Tracy and Matt from Canberra, Australia September 28, 2010
*** Another coach's perspective:
I took your Core Skills clinic from Andy and Chip 2 years ago and it changed everything about my riding. Without going further I want to thank you sincerely. My riding is more fun, safer, faster, in more control, and better in all ways because of you. I wear your shirt and bumper stickers proudly and tell anyone that sits still for too long about it. Since then I've purchased multiple books and taken multiple skills clinics. I recently got certified by IMBA as a level 2 instructor and teach for Boulder Mountainbike Alliance. After all that I finally feel ready to take a Core Skills 2 in 2014 (near Boulder?? please!!…;) In all the clinics I've taken and all the books I've read (2 from Lee and 1 from Shaums) it's your class that has been the standard that no one else has reached. I'm totally psych'd to hear you finally plan to write a book. Sign me up for a copy, no matter the price.

Amherstview is a community in Loyalist Township, Ontario.
It is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario and has a population of approximately 10,000. It is adjacent to the city of Kingston, and considered part of the greater Kingston area. Amherstview is named for Amherst Island, located directly to the south in Lake Ontario. When the community was first established in the 1950s, the spelling was generally "Amherst View".
The community is the eastern end of the Loyalist Parkway, a stretch of Highway 33 that travels along Lake Ontario, in an area in which many United Empire Loyalists settled. Amherstview is home to Fairfield House which is itself situated in Fairfield Park on the shore of Lake Ontario. Fairfield House was constructed in 1793 by the Fairfield family who were among the first Loyalists to settle the area. It served as the family home and a portion of the building was also used as a tavern for some time. The impressive limestone building is now a museum exhibiting period artifacts and furniture and offering guided tours.
Public transportation between Amherstview and Kingston is provided by Kingston Transit.
Since Amherstview is part of Loyalist Township, it has no legal boundaries. General boundaries are Lake Ontario to the south, the Canadian National rail line to the north, Coronation Boulevard to the east (the City of Kingston boundary), and Lennox and Addington County Road 6 to the west.

Bersani wins Italy primary, heads to general vote
ROME (AP) -- Pier Luigi Bersani, the head of Italy's main center-left Democratic Party, won a runoff primary Sunday to become the main center-left candidate for Italy's 2013 general elections -- a vote that polls indicate could well be won by the Democratic Party given the utter disarray of the opposing center-right.
Preliminary results gave Bersani 60.8 percent of the vote compared to Florence Mayor Matteo Renzi's 39.1 percent, with two-thirds of the votes counted.
Even before the results were released, Renzi conceded the victory to Bersani in a Twitter message, writing: "It was the right thing to try, it was beautiful to do it together. Thank you all from the heart."
The primary had been closely watched since the Democratic Party has a significant lead in the polls over former Premier Silvio Berlusconi's center-right People of Freedom party, which has been in chaos following the media mogul's 2011 downfall, a series of corruption scandals within party ranks and Berlusconi's indecision over whether to run for a fourth term.
The 2013 general election -- expected in March or April -- will decide if Italy continues on the same path to financial health charted by Premier Mario Monti, appointed last year to save Italy from a Greek-style debt crisis. The former European commissioner was named to head a technical government after international markets lost confidence in then-premier Berlusconi's ability to reign in Italy's public debt and push through structural reforms.
Monti has ruled out running for office but has said he would be willing to stay on in some capacity if he could be of service. Some commentators have floated the idea of Monti taking over the largely ceremonial role as Italian president, while others say his talents would be put to better use as treasury minister.
Nearly all polls had projected Bersani would beat Renzi, who campaigned on an Obama-style "Let's change Italy now" mantra that attracted many disgruntled Italians back to politics. Renzi used his youth -- he's 37 -- to bolster his call for Italy's entire political class to be "scrapped."
Bersani, by contrast, is 61 and a veteran of previous center-left governments, where he has served as transport and industry minister. In his victory speech, Bersani made clear his new job running for premier would begin Monday with a trip to Libya, Italy's former colony, to meet with the government.
"I want Italy to retake its place in political, moral, cultural and economic terms in the Mediterranean," Bersani said to cheers.
But even in defeat, Renzi won a victory of sorts for having changed the Italian left -- perhaps forever, analysts said. Renzi's perceived liberal conservative leanings within the center-left, while alienating the movement's hard-core communists, attracted Italians young and old who might otherwise never have voted, much less for a center-left candidate. He liked to say that he offered a different vision for the party, a different model.
"Even if he loses, as I think he will, he had an important renovation function within the party," Rome resident Pietro Marucci said Sunday as he voted for Renzi.
Renzi's style -- moving around Italy in a motor home to meet crowds, addressing supporters in just a shirt and tie, no jacket -- drew inevitable comparisons to President Barack Obama. But some analysts said he was simply not yet ready for the job of running Italy, and that his relaxed, fresh approach to politics isn't what Italy needs as it navigates through a grinding recession and near-record high unemployment and tries to tackle its enormous public debt of (euro) 2 trillion ($2.5 trillion).
"Italy certainly badly needs new faces, fresh faces," noted columnist Massimo Franco said. "But I think that between Renzi and Bersani, the big problem is also experience."
It remains to be seen what, if any, role Renzi will play in the campaign for general elections and how Bersani will try to capitalize on the support Renzi generated. In his speech, Bersani made clear he understood Renzi's base, saying that starting Monday he would give "new space" to the younger generations in the party.
Berlusconi had largely stayed out of the public spotlight for the past year -- until recent weeks, when he announced he was thinking about running again, then changed his mind, then threatened to bring down Monti's government, and then went silent about his political plans.
His waffling has thrown his People of Freedom party into disarray, disrupting its own plans for a primary which is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 16.
A poll published Friday gave the Democratic Party 30 percent of the vote if the election were held now, compared with 19.5 percent for the upstart populist movement of comic Beppe Grillo. Berlusconi's party was in third with 14.3 percent. The poll, by the SWG firm for state-run RAI 3, surveyed 5,000 voting-age adults by telephone between Nov. 26 and 28. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 1.4 percentage points.
It's been quite a turnabout both for Berlusconi's once-dominant movement and the Democratic Party, which had been in shambles for years, unable to capitalize on Berlusconi's professional and personal failings.
