Last night, while making overdue acquaintance with F.W. Murnau's charming CITY GIRL (1930), I was surprised to notice a familiar face hovering in the background of the second café scene. As this centrally placed customer leaves his seat at the bar, waitress Kate (Mary Duncan) slips her new friend Lem (Charles Farrell, seen beside her) into that slot - to the annoyance of the mustached man in the background. That is actor Michael Mark, who would score a major speaking role in 1931's FRANKENSTEIN as the father of the tragically fated child, Maria. Though released in 1930, CITY GIRL was actually filmed in the latter part of 1928, so Mark had a few years between in which to ascend from extra to speaking parts. While at Universal, Mark would also appear in THE BLACK CAT (1934 version), SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, TOWER OF LONDON, HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES, THE MUMMY'S HAND, FLASH GORDON CONQUERS THE UNIVERSE, THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN, SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE SECRET WEAPON and HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (as "Herr Strauss"). During that time he also slipped away to MGM where he worked on MAD LOVE with Peter Lorre and to Columbia for THE BLACK ROOM with Boris Karloff. In later years, he ended up with bit parts in THE RETURN OF THE FLY, ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE, and the movie with which the IMDb identifies him, Roger Corman's THE WASP WOMAN! Busy guy.
I thought I'd made an important catch but someone on the IMDb had already caught Mark's cameo, but it still hasn't been added to the site's official list of uncredited players.
Since they'll need to do that anyway, I believe I may have caught another one for them. During the scene when Lem returns to the café and bends over to peer through the window in search of Kate (who has, in fact, followed him to the train station and will soon end up in his arms), there is a cutaway to a group of pedestrians walking nearby, with some crossing the street. The man in the light-colored suit and hat caught my attention. There was something familiar about him, not just his face but his adroit, tightly-wound body language was familiar.
Then it struck me. This was the young Charles Lane.
Charles Lane lived to be 102 and acted in more than 360 motion pictures, according to the IMDb. Anyone who loves movies and television has seen him countless times, usually as a snappy, tightly-wound, hectoring old man - a part he had evidently played for more than half his professional life.
His earliest known roles, again re the IMDb, were in a spate of Warner Bros. pictures where he was uncredited, beginning with Alfred Green's SMART MONEY in 1931. In 1928, when CITY GIRL was made, he had a job with the Pasadena Playhouse, where he trained stage actors to work onscreen.
If this is Charles Lane - and I believe it is - this appearance would predate the earliest known screen work of America's most ubiquitous actor by several years, and inaugurate a screen acting career that bests even that of John Carradine by a couple dozen titles.

The Worst Oscar-Winning Actors Ever
Bad actors who have won Oscars, in any category, as determined by the votes and selections of Ranker users. This list contains actors and actresses who, despite winning the Academy Award for Best Actor, Best Actress, or either of the Best Supporting categories, are still unworthy, either for the specific performance that one or just in general career terms. They are weak actors who nevertheless have been overpraised by peers, critics and the general public alike.
A number of actors have won Oscars, only to then have their careers taper off quickly. Adrien Brody won the Academy Award for Best Actor at age 29 in 2003 for the film "The Pianist" (becoming the youngest actor to ever win an Oscar in the category), and has - in the interim - failed to appear in a large number of popular or award-contending films (with a few notable exceptions.) F. Murray Abraham, as well, saw his roles begin to dry up after winning the Academy Award for the role of Salieri in "Amadeus."Who are the worst actors and actresses who nevertheless have received American acting's highest honor? Who are the worst actors to win Oscars? Help decide by voting for your picks below and adding suggestions that aren't currently featured.

Family calls inmate death suspicious
The uncle of a man who allegedly hung himself in the Lenoir County Detention Center earlier this week says his nephew�s death �doesn�t fit his character.�
The family of Matthew Powell, 39, of Pine Street in Kinston, said Friday that an autopsy already has been completed in Greenville and the body has been released to a local funeral home.
Elvis Washington, Powell�s uncle, said the incident at the jail happened either Wednesday or Thursday and family members were notified on Thursday of Powell�s death. The sheriff�s office hasn�t been as forthcoming with information as the family would like, Washington said, and family members are suspicious about what really happened.
�Most of our information is coming from other inmates,� Washington said.
Lenoir County Sheriff Chris Hill released a statement late Friday saying the incident happened on Thursday afternoon.
�On December 5, 2013 at approximately 3:48 p.m., a detention officer was moving an inmate from C pod into a cell in D pod in the new jail,� the sheriff said. �Once the inmate began to walk inside of Matthew Powell�s assigned cell in D pod, he observed that inmate Powell had hung himself and immediately called for the detention officer who had not yet exited D pod. The officer rushed to the cell to find Powell unresponsive, with a bed sheet wrapped around his throat and partially hanging from an upper bunk in the cell. A call to the 911 center was made to have EMS respond to the jail. Detention officers rushed to try and loosen the slip knot and provide the inmate medical assistance. Powell was released from the ligature and medical assistance was provided to the inmate. An in-house defibrillator was applied to Powell with no response from Powell. EMS arrived on the scene and determined that Powell was deceased and could not be revived. Inmate Powell was confined to the jail on December 3, 2013 on a child support charge.�
Hill said that as part of the investigation, the cell where the incident occurred was secured and was photographed. The bed sheet was collected and made available to the pathologist in Greenville. An autopsy of Powell was conducted on Friday and interviews were conducted of the jail staff and inmates assigned to D pod. In addition, all video data, and probe data (a location recording device) was collected for review.
The sheriff said that prior to the incident all of the inmates in D Pod were confined to their individual cells. Powell was assigned to a cell by himself. Powell was seen on video moving around his cell about 2 p.m. and his cell was last recorded as checked at 3:40 p.m.
Hill said sheriff�s investigators had some difficulty finding family members to notify.
�A review of Matthew Powell�s admission record indicated only one relative, which did not indicate a contact phone number or address,� Hill said. An officers wound up getting the name of a relative from a probation officer and found Powell�s ex-wife in Greene County late that night, also speaking to other relatives by phone after contacting her.
Hill said a report of the incident will be forwarded to the Department of Health and Human Services for review within the next 24 hours.
�This is unfortunate event that has occurred in the jail,� the sheriff said. �There is absolutely no evidence of foul play and we have deemed the incident a suicide. The reality is that incidents such as these occur in jails and prisons across our country. Although we try and take every precaution to keep suicides from occurring, we cannot always stop someone who is determined to take their own life.�
Washington said his family doesn�t believe Powell would have taken his own life.
�He�s not that type of person,� Washington said. �He was ready to go to school and get a job. �He believes in life. He was not emotionally distressed.�
Washington said he believes his nephew would not have been distraught about finances. Since Powell was living on Washington�s property, Washington believes Powell had no bills other than the contested child support.
Washington didn�t believe his nephew had an extensive criminal record, but a check of the state Department of Corrections website shows a criminal history. His most recent incarceration was for driving with a revoked license in 2002 and in February of this year. He also did a year and four months for giving false information in 1999, five months in 1999 for assault on a female, resisting an officer and assault with a deadly weapon. In 1996 he was convicted of indecent liberties with a child.
The family is stymied as to how the incident could happen in what is a new facility. The Lenoir County Detention Center has been in operation less than a year.
The incident �has been hush-hush,� Washington said.
Washington said they were told by the medical examiner an official cause of death would take up to six months.

Oh Memory Where Hast Thou Gone
A study by researchers at the Mayo Clinic shows that the combination of computer use and moderate physical exercise appears to decrease one's odds of suffering from age-related memory loss.

I try not to think of it as short term memory loss, but as cleaning out the little gray circuits.

Louis, I can certainly relate to your column today, and you did a wonderful job dealing with the problem!

Superb article on the topic, Louis. I wanted to say more, but I forget what it is.

I've always thought that stress has a lot to do with short-term memory loss. Since I've retired and am no longer required to make so many decisions and do so much multi-tasking, my memory has improved...I think. But then if it hasn't; I might not remember.
Great piece, Louis.

Excellent article. Even though I know I am not alone with these little memory lapses, I like to see it all documented.

An absent-minded professor once said his memory was like pigeonholes at an old-fashioned post office. At first he happily filled the slots, but as the pigeonholes grew full, things started falling out the other side. I think the man was right, Louis.

Thanks everyone.
Leigh, I like the post office metaphor.It's the way I feel sometimes
Janice, I never thought of it that way, but hey, maybe it makes room for more memories that will be long term memories in the future.

I try to see the memory lapses as mobile Swiss cheese - sometimes the hole's here, sometimes it's there, and sometimes I just have a plain great grilled cheese sandwich. I think...

Frankly, Lewis, your post has me wondering if (hoping??) you might know which part of memory deals with connecting a person's face to his/her name. I have a terrible time remembering names.
And, I've used several gimmicks suggested by others, over the years:
(A) Ask the person to spell his/her name. I tried this once — the guy's name was Bob.
(B) Use the person's name three times, in direct address, the first time you meet him/her. I tried this too, on numerous occasions. It never resulted in success. And, half the time I forget the name before I get a chance to use it a third time, anyway.
P.S. Please don't tell my wife, but this is the reason I called her "Sweetheart" for the first three years of our marriage.

Excellent article! Thank you. Ron

I know I'm in good company now, for I too can't remember names. Faces yes; names no. Some of my most embarrassing moments have been seeing a high school classmate at one of our meetings and not being able to call his or her name. And I'm editor of the class newsletter.

Eating the Alternative

With many legislative hiccups along the way, Congress is rapidly deciding the fate of Americas food supply: whats grown, how its produced and by whom, and how that food will affect our health and the planet. The roughly $288 billion Farm Bill, covering everything from urban nutrition and food stamp programs to soil conservation and agribusiness subsidies, will dictate much about what we eat and at what price, both at the checkout line and in long-term societal costs. And if agribusiness lobbies keep getting their way, as theyve largely done in this years Farm Bill battles, the food bill we all pay will be astronomical not just the cost of the Farm Bill itself, but the hidden costs of a taxpayer-subsidized industrial food system that causes profound harm to public health and the environment, as well as to farmers and workers.
Despite valiant progressive efforts that may bring some change at
the margins, the big picture is not pretty: increasingly centralized
power over food, abetted by lax antitrust policies and farm
subsidies that provide the meat industry and food-processing
corporations with cheap raw ingredients; huge subsidies for corn and
soy, most of which ends up as auto fuel, livestock feed, and
additives for junk food, fattening Americas waistlines while
soiling the environment; and, despite organic foods rising
popularity, a farming system thats still heavily reliant on toxic
pesticides (500,000 tons per year), which pollute our waterways and
bloodstreams while gobbling up millions of gallons of fossil fuel.
As a nation we consume (quite literally) some 100 billion gallons of
oil annually in the making and long-distance transport of our food

Dennis Hopper is "feeling better" after being treated at a hospital in New York City for flu-like symptoms on Wednesday.
Sam Maydew, manager of the 73-year-old actor, confirmed Hopper is recovering after visiting a NYC hospital after developing stomach ailments that usually accompany the flu.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: From 'Easy Rider' To 'Speed': It's Dennis Hopper
"After experiencing some severe flu-like symptoms and not being in his hometown, Dennis went to the hospital for medical care," Maydew said in statement to Access Hollywood. "He was treated for dehydration and is now back in his hotel room and feeling much better. Dennis would like to thank everyone for their well wishes and he looks forward to getting back to work on 'Crash.'"
On Wednesday, a source told Access Hollywood that Hopper began feeling ill just before he was due to make a series of promotional appearances for the second season of his Starz television show, "Crash."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hollywood Legends
Hopper was at MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show early Wednesday when some type of illness seemed to set in. Hopper left before he had a chance to appear on air. His absence was explained on the program.
Hopper also canceled on several other NBC appearances including "Today" and "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."
The iconic actor has starred in countless films during his lengthy career, including "Speed" with a young Sandra Bullock and the legendary "Easy Rider" with Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: The Latest Star Sightings
He is currently starring in "Crash" on the Starz network alongside Eric Roberts and Jennifer Love Hewitt's ex-fiancee, Ross McCall.
Last week, it was announced that Hopper is set to star with Scott Caan, former "Battlestar Galactica" star Tricia Helfer and J.K. Simmons, who played Ellen Page's father in "Juno," in the film "A Beginner's Guide To Endings."

With the VBM finally resolved—at least on legal grounds—at the end of the last episode, tonight's hour was a chance to see what Friday Night Lights would be like without the weight (some might say, albatross) that the subplot put on the show. Critic Alan Sepinwall joked that he was hoping for something like the Armen Tanzarian episode of The Simpsons, which ended with a judge decreeing that the townspeople forget that Seymour Skinner was an imposter and just pretend the whole thing never happened. That Simpsons episode was a brilliant comment on the short-term-memory that allows long-term shows to keep hitting the reset button every week. But the magic of "There Goes The Neighborhood" is that it doesn't forget the past entirely, yet still functions as one of the season's most confident and satisfying episodes to date.
So let's address the Landry-Tyra elephant in the room first: Now that Landry's been cleared of criminal charges (though not necessarily of conscience), he and Tyra are free to explore their relationship more openly. No surprise that this is not good news for Landry, who will never transform into the sort of fatuous smooth-talker that Tyra tends to go for. He's awkward and overly earnest, looking perpetually like a guy with clammy hands. I think it's tempting to interpret Tyra's chilliness as her being embarrassed for dating a kid below her social station. Certainly, Julie thinks so, the way she condescends to him over the rose/carnation issue. But Tyra's true feelings are revealed in that beautiful scene in the bleachers at the Fall Formal: "You make me feel too much. It freaks me out." And she's right: The problem with Landry isn't that he's awkward, but that he's heavy, and his sweaty devotion to her is too much to take. As a solid counter, Landry implies that Tyra's pitiful sense of self-worth is to blame, and he offers up her drunk asshole date as Exhibit A.
In any case, I think the VBM puts an interesting residue on their scenes together. They forged a powerful bond under all that duress—and a lasting one too, whatever Tyra's protestations—but it's hard to get a distance from that situation and figure out if they can function as high school sweethearts. There's way more history between them than between other teenage couples—hence Landry nearly laughing out loud over Julie's comment about her relationship with Matt being "complicated"—and that's burdensome, especially for Tyra. Who knows if the two of them would have gotten together without the VBM happening? But it did, and it has complicated their relationship in fascinating ways, even if it doesn't come up explicitly in conversation.
The main plotline had the chumps from neighboring Laribee High School invading Dillon after a tornado ripped through their town (and possibly destroyed a few double-wides in the process). This clever little development paid off in high comedy and some juicy melodrama, too. Of course, Coach Taylor's act of "Christian charity" in letting the Laribee boys and their lunkheaded coach share the locker rooms and practice field was doomed to backfire. "Boys will be boys," after all, so the natural tension between rival schools could only spill over—first, in frathouse locker room hijinks, and later in a rowdy lunchroom brawl. A lot of fun stuff here, from schoolyard taunts (I particularly liked the "Napoleon Dynamite" remark) to Eric's strained effort to keep himself from unloading on the opposing coach. On the more dramatic side, we get another potent example of what makes Eric such an effective coach and surrogate father to his players: He's completely intolerant of juvenile bullshit, yet willing to stand up for them (in this case, Riggins) when it's necessary. Can't wait for the big Dillon-Laribee showdown next week.
Speaking of Riggins, he makes himself right at home with the Taylors, which creates an electric dynamic: Julie and Tami's younger sister Shelley are so lustful that they watch his morning workout regimen in lieu of TV; Tami isn't happy about either of their wagging tongues (Shelley for being age-inappropriate, in the FNL tradition; Julie for being the "lit match" to his "can of gasoline"); and Eric is giddy that there's another guy around who can fix the cable, play ping-pong at 5 a.m., and "even up the gender teams." It's really too bad that this arrangement has to end on an almost sitcom-like misunderstanding—and one that seems destined to continue even after Julie sobers up—because I loved the dynamic in the Taylor household this week. I'd also like to use this opportunity to apologize again for slagging Riggins (and Taylor Kitsch) earlier this season, since he's evolved into a breakout character this year; it helps that he's more funny and less of a brooder, which is why it's worrisome to have him homeless and unloved again.
In other developments, the Garritys are officially a broken home now that Lila's mother has decided to marry "the treehugger" and give Buddy the brush-off for good. There's something really touching about Buddy's Homer Simpson-like cluelessness: He's never had a moment's uncertainty about her, despite his cheating, yet he doesn't realize that she's not the same person he married after high school. You can just imagine her slow disappointment in watching the lithe championship football star she married turn into a flabby, inconsiderate blowhard who obsesses over his alma mater. But that doesn't mean the big guy doesn't care, either, and it was great (if cringe-inducing) to see the always-excellent Brad Leland make his blustery Hail-Mary bid for her heart. Being the Texas Car Salesman of the Year five years running just wasn't enough this time around.
Grade: A-
Stray observations:
• Curse the NBC promotions department for giving up a big moment in next week's episode—and then having the nerve to preface it by having the announcer say, "And you won't believe what happens" before, you know, showing us what happens.
• Curse NBC also for its erratic press site, which doesn't have a single photo for the next three episodes. I've gone with a smoldering Riggins portrait shot this week, but I may post one of Abe Vigoda next week just out of spite.
• Matt and Carlotta are still spicy in their brief appearance—mercifully brief, I should say—but are we ever going to see Matt and Landry share the same space again? Perhaps in some flashback explaining why these formerly inseparable best friends no longer have time for each other.
• So is Shelley right to blow up at Tami for thinking the worst of her? I know many people felt that Julie was in the right for yelling at her mother after she dressed down her journalism teacher. Was this another example of Tami being a bit self-righteous? Personally, I take the minority opinion that Tami was mostly in the right on both occasions, but I like that the show doesn't treat her as infallible.
• Riggins grabbing a mid-afternoon beer from the Taylors' refrigerator: Classic move.

Nabucco Intenso – 43mm
Power and design elegance, robustness and lightness of the steel and titanium case… the nabucco Intenso embodies all the values of the RAYMOND WEIL collection, inspired by Nabucco, the famous opera by Giuseppe Verdi. However, this completely new version offers a major variation: certainly an imposing volume, but concentrated into a 43mm case diameter rather than 46mm. Thanks to this compact format, the nabucco Intenso will enable a few more enthusiasts to join the highly elite club of nabucco owners. Fortissima!
The nabucco collection was launched in 2007, under the auspices of the founding family's 3rd generation. The collection is racy, elegant and powerful, appealing to connoisseurs around the world, regardless of culture. However, they do not all have the opportunity to wear what they really want to, but now things could change, thanks to the new nabucco Intenso, a model whose famous chronograph characteristics are cleverly arranged within its 43mm diameter.
The case of this entirely new model is three millimeters smaller, but none the less imposing: powerful horns – but with rounded angles to sit comfortably on the wrist – and its perfectly balanced proportions, in satin-finished, steel and titanium. The remaining features of the collection are equally distinctive: the tachymeter transfer on the bezel, the three counters at 3 o'clock (30 minutes), 6 o'clock (12 hours) and 9 o'clock (small seconds), the round date window at 4.30, the robust pushers and the single number 12. However, on this compact model, the phosphorescent number 12 becomes quite majestic and attracts the eye, which then takes in the detailed decoration on the black galvanic dial: the small steel-colored counters and the checkered inner background surrounded by concentric circles. Finally, the blued steel of the chronograph hands contrasts effectively with the chiaroscuro decor. The case is mounted on a black, alligator-style, rubber strap, blending comfort with strength, in complete harmony with the collection.
With this new 43mm model – nabucco Intenso – RAYMOND WEIL is exploiting its nuances, while losing nothing of its intensity. It's a safe bet that its success will continue to crescendo.

$500,000 software expenditure is approved by hospital board
A capital expenditure of over $500,000 was approved Wednesday evening by the Adams Health Network (AHN) Board of Trustees at its regular monthly meeting. It will allow AHN to expand the capabilities of its long-term care facilities to receive software that will install electronic medical records and billing capabilities.
President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Nordwick brought the proposal to the board for approval, saying the move will allow both the Adams-Woodcrest and Adams-Heritage facilities, the nursing homes operated by AHN, to begin electronic medical records next year.
The majority of the cost is approximately $387,000 for the software alone, while another $86,000 will go for annual maintenance of the system. Line fees, severs and other costs will bring the projected project to $537,389.
Nordwick said that while the maintenance fee will continue to be an annual cost for the hospital, that the hospital eventually will realize some savings.
Both Nordwick and Bill Watson, the new AHN vice president for senior residential services, emphasized that a number of industries in northeastern Indiana are already using this system, and Watson thanked the board, saying, "You just made my job a lot easier."
Nordwick said the hospital already uses electronic medical records and, among other things, it makes it much easier for doctors and nurses to communicate about patients when the doctor is not in the hospital. Doctors can log on to the system and write a prescription, an order for an x-ray, or some other test and it will immediately show up on the patient's chart.
Some of the money for the purchase of the new system will come from current funds while Nordwick added that they would "have to roll into the budget for next year" to complete the funding.
In other trustee action, members spent about 30 minutes in a telephone conversation with a representative from the iProtean company, a firm which produces educational materials for hospital board members and others in the health care industry.
Adams Memorial Hospital (AMH) recently purchased the iProtean package and it consists of programs in finance, quality, mission and strategy, and governance. Members can review the information and then take on-line tests to receive either a Level One or Level Two accreditation. An Advanced Certification is also available once the first two levels are achieved.
Meanwhile, Chief Operating Officer JoEllen Eidam reported that the hospital received some good news from the Anthem insurance carrier. Since AMH has met or exceeded many of the Anthem goals and criteria, the hospital will receive an extra five percent payment for patients that Anthem covers at AMH. This percentage reflects a two percent hike for cost of living and another three percent for matching Anthem's criteria.
Chief Financial Officer Dane Wheeler noted that Anthem is the largest private insurance payor the hospital has (Medicare, self pay, and Medicaid are the leading sources of income) and represents about 17 percent of the hospital's income.

Following Donald Glover's surprising confession behind his Community exit, the actor reveals that he's been dealing with what he's shy to call depression, according to People.
Donald Glover reveals troubling reasons behind Community exit
"That night, we had a show, and then afterwards, I had this moment of feeling like, 'What's the point? Why am I even here?'" Glover told the magazine. "I just wanted to write down my feelings. I definitely was just expressing myself."
"If I'm depressed, everybody's depressed," he adds, noting that he's happy that he vented. "I don't think those feelings are that different from what everybody's feeling. Most people just don't tell everybody."
After it was announced that Glover was leaving Community, many assumed it was so he could focus on his upcoming FX series and his rap career. "I didn't leave Community to rap. I don't wanna rap. I wanted to be on my own," Glover wrote in one of many handwritten messages posted to Instagram Sunday night, where he also shared a troubling list of fears and insecurities. "I've been sick this year. I've seen a bunch of people die this year. This is my first time I've felt helpless. But I'm not on that. Kept looking for something to be in with. Follow someone's blueprint. But you have to be on your own."
NCIS, Glee and more of this fall's biggest cast shakeups
As of now, Glover is set to appear in five of Community's 13-episode fifth season. If the cult comedy is renewed, he won't return for Season 6. Glover is also set to develop and star in a music-themed comedy for FX tentatively titled Atlanta.
According to Instagram, Glover had hoped to release his latest album in December, but the label is resistant because "it's not a holiday album and he's not a big artist."

Who is at Risk
Bullying can happen anywhere, but depending on the environment, some groups may be at an increased risk. Learn what factors increase the risk of children being bullied or children more likely to bully others and what warning signs can indicate that bullying may be happening. You can also find out how bullying can negatively impact kids.
Risk Factors
No single factor puts a child at risk of being bullied or bulling others. Bullying can happen anywhere—cities, suburbs, or rural towns. Depending on the environment, some groups—such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) youth, youth with disabilities, and socially isolated youth—may be at an increased risk of being bullied.
Warning Signs
There are many warning signs that may indicate that someone is affected by bullying—either being bullied or bullying others. Recognizing the warning signs is an important first step in taking action against bullying. Not all children who are bullied or are bullying others ask for help.
Effects of Bullying
Bullying can affect everyone—those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying. Bullying is linked to many negative outcomes including impacts on mental health, substance use, and suicide. It is important to talk to kids to determine whether bullying—or something else—is a concern.
Considerations for Specific Groups
Schools and communities that respect diversity can help protect children against bullying behavior. However, when children perceived as different are not in supportive environments, they may be at a higher risk of being bullied. When working with kids from different groups—including LGBT youth and youth with disabilities or special health care needs—there are specific things you can do to prevent and address bullying.

Chapter One
Men are men, but Man is a woman.
On a certain day in June, 19—, a young man was making his way on foot northward from the great City to a town or place called Edgewood, that he had been told of but had never visited. His name was Smoky Barnable, and he was going to Edgewood to get married; the fact that he walked and didn't ride was one of the conditions placed on his coming there at all.
Somewhere to Elsewhere
Though he had left his City room early in the morning it was nearly noon before he had crossed the huge bridge on a little-used walkway and come out into the named but boundaryless towns on the north side of the river. Through the afternoon he negotiated those Indian-named places, usually unable to take the straight route commanded by the imperious and constant flow of traffic; he wentneighborhood by neighborhood, looking down alleys and into stores. He saw few walkers, even indigenous, though there were kids on bikes; he wondered about their lives in these places, which to him seemed gloomily peripheral, though the kids were cheerful enough.
The regular blocks of commercial avenues and residential streets began gradually to become disordered, thinning like the extremesof a great forest; began to be broken by weedy lots as though by glades; now and then a dusty undergrown woods or a scruffy meadow announced that it was available to be turned into an industrial park. Smoky turned that phrase over in his mind, since that seemed truly the place in the world where he was, the industrial park, between the desert and the sown.
He stopped at a bench where people could catch buses from Somewhere to Elsewhere. He sat, shrugged his small pack from his back, took from it a sandwich he had made himself—another condition—and a confetti-colored gas-station road map. He wasn't sure if the map were forbidden by the conditions, but the directions he'd been given to get to Edgewood weren't explicit, and he opened it.
Now. This blue line was apparently the cracked macadam lined with untenanted brick factories he had been walking along. He turned the map so that this line ran parallel to his bench, as the road did (he wasn't much of a map reader) and found, far off to his left, the place he walked toward. The name Edgewood didn't appear, actually, but it was here somewhere, in this group of five towns marked with the legend's most insignificant bullets. So. There was a mighty double red line that went near there, proud with exits and entrances; he couldn't walk along that. A thick blue line (on the model of the vascular system, Smoky imagined all the traffic flowing south to the city on the blue lines, away on the red) ran somewhat nearer, extending corpuscular access to towns and townlets along the way. The much thinner sclerotic blue line he sat beside was tributary to this; probably commerce had moved there, Tool Town, Food City, Furniture World, Carpet Village. Well... But there was also, almost indistinguishable, a narrow black line he could take soon instead. He thought at first that it led nowhere, but no, it went on, faltering, seeming at first almost forgotten by the mapmaker in the ganglia, but then growing clearer in the northward emptiness, and coming very near a town Smoky knew to be near Edgewood.
That one, then. It seemed a walker's road.
After measuring with his thumb and finger the distance on the map he had come, and how far he had to go (much farther), he slung on his pack, tilted his hat against the sun, and went on.
A Long Drink of Water
She was not much in his mind as he walked, though for sure she hadn't been far from it often in the last nearly two years he had loved her; the room he had met her in was one he looked into with the mind's eye often, sometimes with the trepidation he had felt then, but often nowadays with a grateful happiness; looked in to see George Mouse showing him from afar a glass, a pipe, and his two tall cousins: she, and her shy sister behind her.
It was in the Mouse townhouse, last tenanted house on the block, in the library on the third floor, the one whose mullioned windows were patched with cardboard and whose dark rug was worn white in pathways between door, bar and windows. It was that very room.
She was tall.
She was nearly six feet tall, which was several inches taller than Smoky; her sister, just turned fourteen, was as tall as he. Their party dresses were short, and glittered, hers red, her sister's white; their long, long stockings glistened. What was odd was that tall as they were they were shy, especially the younger, who smiled but wouldn't take Smoky's hand, only turned away further behind her sister.
Delicate giantesses. The older glanced toward George as he made debonair introductions. Her smile was tentative. Her hair was red-gold and curly-fine. Her name, George said, was Daily Alice.
He took her hand, looking up. "A long drink of water," he said, and she began to laugh. Her sister laughed too, and George Mouse bent down and slapped his knee. Smoky, not knowing why the old chestnut should be so funny, looked from one to another with a seraphic idiot's grin, his hand unrelinquished.
It was the happiest moment of his life.
It had not been, until he met Daily Alice Drinkwater in the library of the Mouse townhouse, a life particularly charged with happiness; but it happened to be a life suited just right for the courtship he then set out on. He was the only child of his father's second marriage, and was . . .

All major universities have student newspapers. After serving for 17 years as a faculty member at a number of excellent schools, I'm always amazed at the insipid content of these newspapers. Usually, you wouldn't know that the University has a research faculty. The typical articles focus on romance, frats, sports, and tuition hikes. But, today's Columbia Spectator offers a great counter-example. This article makes me proud to be an emeritus Associate Professor of that esteemed university.
Columbia's Engineering School has one solution for making buildings greener—hybrid solar cells that produce heat and electricity simultaneously.
Huiming Yin, assistant professor of civil engineering and engineering mechanics and creator of the panels, said that the purpose of the project was to create more efficient solar cells.
"We want to increase the efficiency of solar cells in our experimentation so that the solar cells don't waste so much energy when they absorb sunlight," Yin said.
This sounds like a great opportunity for graduate students to work on a cutting edge project. Columbia University must smell some intellectual property royalties based on the patents that this research will generate.
The nerds who write for Wikipedia have a strong understanding of the innovation issues revolving around solar cells.
"High-efficiency solar cells are a class of solar cell that can generate more electricity per incident solar power unit (watt/watt). Much of the industry is focused on the most cost efficient technologies in terms of cost per generated power. The two main strategies to bring down the cost of photovoltaic electricity are increasing the efficiency of the cells and decreasing their cost per unit area. However, increasing the efficiency of a solar cell without decreasing the total cost per kilowatt-hour is not more economical, since sunlight is free. (An analogy is that a pound of lead weighs the same as a pound of feathers.) Thus, whether or not "efficiency" matters depends on whether "cost" is defined as cost per unit of sunlight falling on the cell, per unit area, per unit weight of the cell, or per unit energy produced by the cell. In situations where much of the cost of a solar system scales with its area (so that one is effectively "paying" for sunlight), the challenge of increasing the photovoltaic efficiency is thus of great interest, both from the academic and economic points of view. Many groups have published papers claiming possibility of high efficiencies after conducting optical measurements under many hypothetical conditions. The efficiency should be measured under real conditions and the basic parameters that need to be evaluated are the short circuit current, open circuit voltage."
So, in English ---- Al Gore would be happier if more of our electricity supply was generated by renewables. Even Dick Cheney would consider installing solar panels if the price of installation is low, if the panels generate a lot of electricity and if he can sell back his surplus electricity (production - consumption) back to the grid at a good price. Any innovation that makes panels per square foot more "absorbing" or cheaper to install makes the "green Al Gore" scenario more likely.
In academic economics, there continues to be an active research agenda of examining the current economics of solar panels. Here is Severin Borenstein's study.
California is a hotbed of solar innovation. One prominent example is SPG Solar.

Here is the main reason you should spend your one night of Melbourne consumption here:
Paella de Marisco ($65 for Grande)
This was exemplary — the standard to which other paellas aspire. Lush with clams, calamari, king prawns, firm chunks of fish, and goodly rich saffron rice, with an obligatory layer of gorgeous crust at the base of the pan. Size-wise this was huge so, as good as it is, I wouldn't expect you could finish if you were only two people ('grande' is recommended for groups of 2-4). Be warned that this will ruin you for all other paellas: I'll definitely never be able look at the 'big pan' market versions the same way again.
I also really liked:
Carillera de buey ($22.50)
An eat-with-a-fork slowly braised beef cheek in Pedro Ximenez, the intensity of which was very nicely complemented by the smooth cauliflower puree (an interesting alternative to the usual potato). There's nothing particularly original about this dish (I've seen variations of it everywhere, and even featured one on my maze Melbourne review), but I keep ordering it anyway because this is the epitome of comfort food: a tender hunk of meat with a side o' mash.
This was a special on the night:
The board had a better description I failed to take down so you'll have to contend with 'squid stuffed with crab, and I believe, bits of potato'. I do remember, however, that it tasted fantastic. Both the squid and crab were very fresh and had great, juicy resistance. There were also some good, varying textures in the stuffing.
I find it difficult to have tapas without ordering a croquette of some variety:
Bomba ($4.50 each)
Hurried photograph, unfortunately, because there's nothing worse than a cold croquette! This was textbook excellent: slim, crispy exterior and a filling of potato embedded with cheerfully spicy chunks of chorizo.
And the things that are not as they seem:
Pincho de tortilla ($4.80)
Apologies for the other bad photograph of the night. Perhaps it was the sheer surprise of receiving this under the description 'organic egg and spinach tortilla with manchego'. It was more like an egg and spinach cake and, texturally, was very reminiscent of Japanese tamago. Good value going by the size but it was perhaps a bit bland. A touch of Tabasco really (if blasphemously) gave it some kick.
Setas ($16.50)
These are clearly mushrooms, as written on the menu (mushrooms cooked on the plancha, finished with sherry vinegar), but come under the 'not as they seem' category because they were freakishly the best mushrooms we ever had (and I was raised in a fungus-loving family). They were incredible: small but toothsome and caused tiny explosions of flavour in the mouth. We even considered ordering another plateful. Not your typical side dish.
Churros con chocolate ($12.50)
The texture of the churros was fabulous, not at all like some fast-food versions I could mention. These were much thicker and softer (properly doughnut-y) but still crispy. The chocolate was deceptively simple in description ('drinking chocolate'): it was gloriously dense and laced with orange.
Helados ($14.50)
Homemade ice creams with fig bread. Portions were perhaps a bit small (especially when shared between four!) but these were seriously rich and punchy scoops of sticky caramel, ginger, and grapefruit, the last being more of a sorbet. Also, don't expect the fig bread to be, well, bread-like: it's a very chewy nougat-esque slice best nibbled in small doses.
The best thing about recommending Movida Aqui? Consistency (reduces the fear of bad-meal backlash). I've personally eaten there on three occasions with three different groups at three different times over the past (I want to say three) six months, and a great time was had by all.
Tip: Order the paella (you'll want to) even before you've made your other selections as there's a significant waiting time on the dish!
Don't think going up the one flight of stairs to get there will even dent the quantity of calories that will be consumed once you get inside.
Don't forget that you can still sign up for my Heston Blumenthal book giveaway (including The Fat Duck cookbook) in the post below (open until 12/12/2011). Exclusive to this blog, no effort required, and not many entries yet so you're in with a huge chance!
Where do you recommend people go if they've only got one night in town?

ELGIN, Ill. (CBS) — A 20-year-old Elgin man has been issued a handful of traffic citations after he, his pregnant wife and two of their children were injured when their car collided with a Metra train in the northwest suburb Saturday night.
The accident happened about 9:45 p.m. at the Raymond Street crossing in Elgin. Pedro Bustamante, 20, his 19-year-old wife, their 5-year-old son and 14-month-old daughter, were all injured in the crash.
The little girl was flown by helicopter to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. Elgin Police Cmdr. Glenn Theriault said Sunday afternoon that her condition had stabilized and she was expected to recover. The others were taken to Sherman and Provena Saint Joseph hospitals in Elgin. Bustamante's wife is pregnant and she was being held at the hospital for observation, Theriault said.
Bustamante, who was treated and released from the hospital with minor injuries, was cited with not having a valid driver's license, consumption of alcohol by a minor, driving too fast for conditions, and operating an uninsured vehicle that caused bodily harm, Theriault said. All the citations are traffic-related misdemeanors.
Metra spokesman Tom Miller said the incident involved Train No. 2721, scheduled to arrive at the Chicago Street station in Elgin at 9:53 p.m. Both it and inbound Train 2724, scheduled to leave from Chicago Street at 10:10 p.m., were held in place for about two hours while the crash was being investigated.
As the first post-crash train — a westbound run from Chicago — crawled past the scene at 12:03 a.m., several dozen passengers pressed their faces against its windows to see what had held up their journey. What they saw under the intense glare from fire department light towers was a dark blue 1997 Lincoln Continental with its entire engine-area torn off and the entire windshield spider-webbed with fracture marks; the car's engine, lying in the street about 20 feet away; and the car's transmission, lying in the street about 10 feet away from the engine.
Nearby, the bottom half of a child's car seat also sat on the pavement.
Theriault said the Lincoln apparently was southbound along Raymond Street when, for undetermined reasons, it went off the road. He said the car struck a guardrail protecting the crossing's aluminum control box, then careened onto the tracks and collided with the train. It was unclear whether the locomotive struck the car or the car struck the side of the passing train.
The train's momentum kept it moving for several hundred more feet, almost as far north as Metra's bridge across the Fox River. Theriault said that when the crossing gates went back up, an oncoming (northbound) driver on Raymond drove over the tracks without noticing the wrecked Lincoln on the other side of the crossing and was unable to stop his vehicle in time to avoid striking the wreckage. However, that driver was not injured and his car suffered only minor damage.
A second accident happened soon after when a car traveling north on Raymond Street struck the Lincoln, Elgin Fire Battalion Chief Bryan McMahan said. The couple and their children had already been transported when the second crash occurred and no one in the second car was injured.
"I think the weather and the darkness contributed to the second accident," McMahan said.

Holland America Line Debuts Jonnie Boer's 'De Librije Dinner' In The Pinnacle Grill Aboard ms Rotterdam
Oct 22, 2012, 13:40 ET
Menu features cuisine from Dutch chef's Three Star Michelin restaurant
SEATTLE, Oct. 22, 2012 /CNW/ - Holland America Line is expanding its culinary offerings with the debut of a new alternative dining option exclusively aboard ms Rotterdam called "Taste of De Librije" featuring the cuisine of Culinary Council member and Michelin Three Star Chef Jonnie Boer. Named after Boer's restaurant in the Netherlands, the menu will showcase a selection of starters, soups, entrees and desserts from his land-based eatery.
Once per cruise the Pinnacle Grill will be transformed with service staff wearing the uniform livery from De Librije, the restaurant's table set-up will be replicated and the wine list will highlight a selection of labels from the Lady De Librije collection. Reservations can be made for "Taste of De Librije" for a US $69 surcharge per person including wine parings.
"De Librije is one of the finest restaurants in the world, and we are thrilled to highlight Jonnie's recipes onboard ms Rotterdam," said Richard Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs for Holland America Line. "Not only will our guests enjoy Three Star Michelin cuisine, but they will also get a taste of the truly unique De Librije dining experience."
The five-course menu starts with an amuse bouche of North Sea Scallops served to all diners. From there, guests can select from among three appetizers, two soups, four entrees and three desserts. The tantalizing dishes include Oysters on the Beach, oysters and micro greens; Chilled Tomato Gazpacho with black olive and celeriac mousse; Venison Loin and Beef Tenderloin with bulgur wheat and smoked olive oil foam; Duo of Lamb Loin and Crusted Lamb Neck with lentil sprouts, watercress, carrot coulis and lamb jus reduction; Deconstructed Apple Pie with vanilla gelato and Chantilly-style cream; and Rice Chocolate Stones with tuile and strawberries.
When guests return to their stateroom following the dining experience, they will find a Jonnie Boer surprise gift.
Boer is a star of the Dutch culinary scene. In addition to being a member of Holland America Line's esteemed Culinary Council composed of five international chefs, he is chef and co-owner of Michelin-rated De Librije Restaurant and De Librije Hotel in Zwolle, Netherlands. Boer holds the Relais & Chateaux grand chef designation.

One of the most common questions that we get at DrapeStyle is about our different silk fabrics. We offer three types of silk, all of which are perfect for making beautiful silk drape but each have slightly different characteristics. All of our Silks are 100% natural silk fabrics. They do not contain polyester or other fibers that are often woven into silk. When Polyester is woven into Silk it obviously reduces the purity of the silk and ultimately it's value. On occasion we will offer a "Silk / Linen Blend" where fibers of silk and linen are blended together. These are fairly common fabrics and have some very unique qualities that many Designers like. For now, we are just going to describe our two primary silk fabrics.
Silk Fabrics are woven from raw silk that is produced from silk worms. The vast majority of raw silk production comes from China where they have been harvesting raw silk for thousands of years. About 200 years ago some raw silk production began to migrate to Thailand. Thailand is now a fairly large supplier of Raw Silk to the Global Markets and is considered to be "decent" quality. Most of Thailand's premium quality silk stays within its own Country where it is used for silk textiles, primarily clothing.
Most experts would agree that the finest Raw Silk in the World is still produced in China. Once the raw silk is produced, however, it is shipped to India to be woven into fabrics. Although China is the World Leader in Raw Silk Production, they do not weave very much silk fabric at all.
When India receives that Raw Silk from China it is graded and then woven into a variety of Silk Fabric types:
Dupioni Silk Fabric: Dupioni Fabric is a bit less refined than Taffeta Silk and is used word-wide in textile manufacturing. The Dupioni Fabric can either be hand-woven or machine-woven and is distinguished from it's close relative Taffeta Silk by the signature "Slubs" which are present on the fabric. These Slubs are just the natural build-up of raw silk that is present when the raw silk is spun into silk thread. When silk thread is destined to be woven into Dupioni Fabric than the Slubs are left in the thread which is then woven into fabric. The result is a fabric with numerous bumps created by the slubs. Silk Dupioni is used in garment production all over the world and is the primary fabric used in home furnishings including upholstery and, of course, silk drapes.
Taffeta Silk Fabric: The primary difference between Dupioni and Taffeta fabric is that the Slubs are removed prior to the fabric being woven. The extra step of production takes the raw silk thread and refines it removing all of the slubs so that all of the thread is uniform in thickness and quality. This extra step also gives the thread more sheen and makes it a bit stiffer than Dupioni. When the Taffeta Thread is woven into Taffeta Fabric the result is a cleaner and crisper fabric with a higher sheen. Because Taffeta goes through more "processing" it also generally costs about 20% more than Dupioni. Silk Taffeta is very often used for the manufacturing of wedding dresses as well as home furnishings. Because of the sheen and texture of Taffeta it is also a very popular choice for making Taffeta Silk Drapes throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

He is not only concerned about the spiritual life of the pastor, but with the very people who train him, call him, relate to him, and restore him if necessary. Dangerous Calling reveals the truth that the culture surrounding our pastors is spiritually unhealthy--an environment that actively undermines the wellbeing and efficacy of our church leaders and thus the entire church body.

TORONTO – Thousands of protesters jammed the streets outside the Ontario Liberal leadership convention Saturday afternoon as delegates voted for the party's next leader and the province's new premier.
Police officers stood behind a barricade and let delegates in and out of the former Maple Leaf Gardens in downtown Toronto while the crowd of public school teachers, other union members and community groups let loose an avalanche of noise punctuated by whistles and drums.
"What's disgusting? Union busting!" a street full of protesters bellowed as police looked on.
The bulk of the protesters were public elementary and secondary school teachers, who were joined by other public sector unions, as well as the Canadian Auto Workers and United Steel Workers, among other labour members and community groups.
The demonstration started two hours earlier in a nearby park, where protesters listened to labour leaders and activists condemn the Liberal government's decision to impose contracts on public school teachers. Speakers decried the move as a violation of workers' democratic rights, and also railed against budget cutbacks.
Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation president Ken Coran said the next Liberal leader — who will become the province's new premier — must negotiate contracts with public elementary and secondary teachers.
He had one key message for the next premier when it comes to dealing with unions.
"The lesson is simple. Be fair. Be respectful. And be democratic."
Protesters, many of whom arrived in a fleet of chartered buses, then began a brief march to the nearby convention site.
Some delegates smiled as they walked by the spirited wall of protesters. Others were met with loud boos.
One supporter of candidate Kathleen Wynne leaned over the barricade to hand an apple, coffee and bag of chips to an older protester.
Teacher Craig Breen said he had to show his opposition to the imposition of teachers' contracts.
"People here provide a great service to kids, and the reaction of our government to our fine service is to trample on our rights," he said.

Complete Story
FCC Votes To Propose Net Neutrality Rules
By: John Eggerton, Broadcasting & Cable
As expected, the FCC voted Thursday to launch a rulemaking to expand and codify network neutrality principles.
In what may be a record for expediency, the FCC has already published the notice.
All the commissioners agreed it was the beginning of a process that will solicit much comment. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said the FCC will establish a technical
advisory process to make sure, as Commissioner Meredith Attwell Baker said, that the process is informed by the laws of physics and not just politics.
"Do any of us think that the draft rules proposed today perfect? Are they set in stone? No," said Genachowski. "We are at the beginning of a rulemaking process, with draft rules offered in the context of a Notice that seeks to spot the issues, ask the hard questions, and seek broad public input."
But Genachowski said the goal, without compromise, is to preserve a free and open Internet. It was that open and thorough approach to the goal of an open internet--a
goal all the commissioners share--that drew unanimous approval Thursday.
He said it was a necessary process because past FCC policies had "left the protection of the free and open Internet unnecessarily vulnerable and uncertain." He cited a combination of factors prompting the need for rules, such as "significant situations" of blocking or degrading lawful services by broadband providers, the fact that the FCC's existing openness principles failed to address nondiscrimination and transparency, the understandable economic incentives for providers to favor their own content, and because un-codified rules have been "attacked" including in court [by Comcast in the BitTorrent case most notably], "because they are not rules developed through the kind of notice-and-public-comment process that we should commence today," the chairman said.
Commissioner Robert McDowell echoed the sentiment that it was the beginning of a process. "No irreversible decisions have been made. We have started a debate in the context of a healthy process."
But while it may be the beginning of the next step, the chairman made clear that the proposal was not coming out of left field, but after years of comment and inquiry.
"It should come as no surprise that over the past years, the Commission has considered the question of how to safeguard the free and open Internet in more than 10 different proceedings, building a record of over 100,000 pages of comments, submitted by approximately 40,000 companies, organizations, and members of the public," he said.
The vote was unanimous to launch the process, but the commission Republicans dissented on the factual basis undergirding it.
"The Notice we adopt today is not only a clarion call for Internet freedom," said FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, "it is also a reasoned and rational way to get there."
Copps has long pushed for a fifth nondiscrimination principle.
Democrat Mignon Clyburn, who has made consumer focus and nondiscriminatory access to essential communications service twin goals of her regulatory philosophy, said the proposed rules were all about "preventing barriers to entry and ensuring that Americans have access to the best and most useful information and services."
McDowell said a few bad actors do not necessarily argue for new government regulations. "I do not share the majority's view that the Internet is showing breaks and cracks, nor do I believe that the government is the best tool to fix it. I also disagree with the premise that the Commission has the legal authority to regulate Internet network management as proposed," he said.
"I dissent in part today because, as a threshold matter, I am not convinced that there is a sufficient record to establish that a problem exists that should be addressed by Commission rules," added Republican Meredith Attwell Baker.
The chairman conceded that substantial network investment is needed, and that providers need to experiment with new business models, but said that the view that "anything goes" is not an argument. He said FCC rules have been and can be a spur to investment and innovation.
He said that networks need to be able to manage congestion and that Internet technology is changing and the rules need to be sufficiently broad and flexible. He also said the rules should only be what is necessary to insure openness, and no more.
He emphasized the new sixth principle the FCC wants to codify--transparency--which he said should reduce the need for government to step in.
Genachowski said he wanted to send a message to other countries that this was not a case of the government imposing new restrictions on the Internet. Republican members expressed concern that the new rules could be viewed by other countries as a precedent for their attempts to increase their hold on the net.
Under the proposed new rules, and with a carve out for reasonable network management, Internet Access Service providers:
1. would not be allowed to prevent any of its users from sending or receiving the lawful content of the user's choice over the Internet;
2. would not be allowed to prevent any of its users from running the lawful applications or using the lawful services of the user's choice;
3. would not be allowed to prevent any of its users from connecting to and using on its network the user's choice of lawful devices that do not harm the network;
4. would not be allowed to deprive any of its users of the user's entitlement to competition among network providers, application providers, service providers, and
content providers;
5. would be required to treat lawful content, applications, and services in a nondiscriminatory manner; and
6. would be required to disclose such information concerning network management and other practices as is reasonably required for users and content, application, and service providers to enjoy the protections specified in this rulemaking. "
The FCC will also look into how and whether openness rules should be applied to managed services like Voice Over Internet Protocol (Google Voice, for instance), but the chairman reiterated that the rules were targeted at the "on-ramp" ISPs and not the Internet itself.
The rules would not protect access to spam, pornography, or pirated content, the chairman made clear.
The proposed rules will be the subject of much debate and comment over the next few months. The proposal has a 120-day comment period.

According to Scott, working as a courier helps him to stay active even when he isn't training hard.
"I only started running long distance about 18 months ago when my wife of 26 years, Angela, nominated me out of the blue. I told her I could probably manage about 10 kilometres. I couldn't believe it when she told me she'd put me down for the full 21 kilometres!
"I managed to run four half marathons last year, but I've only done two so far in 2013. I'll hopefully squeeze in a couple more before the year ends," says Scott.
When quizzed about his 20 years with Fastway, Scott says the secret to his success in both business and fitness is setting achievable goals.
"In all my years here at Fastway, I've never looked as this as just a job. It's my business and it should be treated that way. Every week, I set myself targets to work towards. I think if you look at anything as just a job or a chore, then you've lost all perspective," says Scott.
"To make it in this industry, you've obviously got to be a people person. Over the years, I've seen some changes in the company, but one thing that's stayed the same is the degree of simplicity that Fastway offers its customers."
When asked about the future, Scott says he plans to stay with Fastway and to keep on running.
The Coal and Allied Winery Running Festival will be held in the Hunter Valley on Sunday, 21 July.
