Norwegian Thor Hushovd has long been one of professional cycling's most consistent riders, but after sprinting to victory in the world championship road race in Australia last October, the 33-year-old rose to a higher level.
In 2011, Hushovd will be riding for the Garmin-Cervelo team. This week he sat down at the team's training camp in Girona, Spain, to speak with Bicycling about his role on the new team, his dream to win Paris-Roubaix, and racing the Tour de France in the rainbow jersey.
Bicycling: Jonathan Vaughters, the general manager of Garmin-Cervelo and your onetime teammate on the Credit Agricole team, made no secret of the fact that he absolutely wanted you on the team this year. Why did you want to ride with Garmin?
Thor Hushovd: First, it's a good team, and it would be a good team for me for the classics. And it's a team with good values and policy. It's safe to say that we're the best classics team this year. At Pairs-Roubaix, for example, we have four guys who could legitimately win it. There is Heinrich Haussler, Martijn Maaskant, Roger Hammond and myself.
Bicycling: Although you've always been a consistently good rider, you never had the really big win. That changed at the world championships last year. Were you surprised?
Hushovd: I knew I could win, but when you've had a high goal for a number of years, even though you may still believe it is possible, until it happens it remains unreal. That changed in Australia.
It was back in 2004 when I finished top 10 in Paris-Roubaix that I first understood that I could win great races like the classics or the world championships. But for some reason I never had had a good world championships.
In a race like the worlds, everything has to come together just right. The course changes every year, and there are some years when it just doesn't suit you. But I knew the route in Australia potentially suited me, and I planned for it all year. Worlds is a race you must plan for all year. You can't just come out of the Tour of Spain and say, "Oh, I feel good. I think I'll try to win worlds."
Last year in Mendrisio (host to the 2009 world championships) I abandoned. And afterwards I said, "OK, next year I'm going 100 percent for the worlds. And I was ready to not do the Tour de France to better prepare, because you have to be able to finish the season at 100 percent.
In the end, though, I broke my collarbone after the classics, and that forced me to take a break. I did the Tour de France and felt really strong; I never went too deep. Then I rested in August and used the Tour of Spain to peak.
Bicycling: Where does Paris-Roubaix fit in now?
Hushovd: That's still my dream. I can win three classics: Milan–San Remo, the Tour of Flanders, and Roubaix. But of the three, it is Paris-Roubaix for me. And now in the last two years, I finished second and third, so there would be nothing bigger than winning Roubaix for me, especially this year as the world champion.
Bicycling: You may well have the best team in Paris-Roubaix, but you don't have Fabian Cancellara. What is it going to take to beat him?
Hushovd: That he be just a little less good. Not a lot, just a little. He was very strong last year, but the year before? Then you have to ride smart. If I can come into the velodrome with Cancellara, I can beat him.
Bicycling: Tom Boonen once told me, "The Tour of Flanders is more difficult, but Paris-Roubaix is more treacherous. You can feel good all day long and then nothing."
Hushovd: I would agree. I've had that feeling. The first 100 kilometers are very nervous. There are always crosswinds, and you have to be very concentrated. Then you have a big fight for position before every section of cobbles, and after more than six hours of that, it can really take its toll.
Bicycling: One of the most often asked questions is, how is all the talent on the Garmin-Cervelo team going to pan out? Who is going to work for whom? You've won eight Tour de France stages. Are you really going to work for Tyler Farrar, for example? Are you going to go into the sprints with two full sprinters?
Hushovd: Two sprinters does not work. So we will have to look at each final and decide. If it's a hard finish, then I may be better suited. For example, I know that there are three hard finishes in the first week of the Tour de France. If there is a hard climb near the end, or an uphill finish, I might be better. But I can work for Tyler, no problem. And you will see us working for each other this year, definitely.
But I have to be realistic. Mark Cavendish has won 15 stages in the Tour over the last three years; I've won three. And I'd prefer to win Paris-Roubaix than another stage in the Tour de France. And I don't want to keep getting second, third, fourth, or fifth in the sprints. In a situation like that, I'd prefer to help someone else on the team. And Tyler Farrar has proven he can beat Cavendish.
Bicycling: Cavendish is a truly amazing sprinter, but a new wave of competition is rising. And a lot of other teams have put together a lead-out train that can rival the HTC train.
Hushovd: Absolutely. We have a really, really strong train, and that's where we have our advantage. The year Mark won six stages in the Tour, his team always put him in the front position. This will maybe change now.
Bicycling: Is focusing on the green jersey in the Tour a motivation again?
Hushovd: I don't know. It's a goal for Tyler as well. And that's fine with me, because this year I have the rainbow jersey. I'd sort of like to keep it on during the Tour. And if I change it for a couple of days, I'd prefer it was yellow. But otherwise I am OK with the rainbow jersey.
Bicycling: This year's world championships also apparently favors sprinters. Will you prepare for it like last year?
Hushovd: Absolutely: 100 percent.

Cookbook author Elizabeth Wiegand shares one of her many delicious Outer Banks-inspired recipes.
Pickled Shrimp
Elizabeth Wiegand
Present these spiced, "pickled" shrimp in a large glass bowl, for the layers make a beautiful presentation. This is a very old, very Southern way of serving shrimp. Serve as an hors d'oeuvre with toothpicks, or over a bed of chopped iceberg or romaine lettuce. The nice thing about this dish is that it can be done ahead and served chilled.
Some feel they get more flavor when shrimp is boiled with the shells on, then peel. However, it's easier to remove the vein with that special shrimp peeler tool if done while raw. Then you can also freeze the shells to use to make shrimp broth. You decide.
3 pounds shrimp, unpeeled
3 sweet onions (try NC's Mattamuskeet Sweets)
1 large lemon, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers
4 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
½ cup tarragon or white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup olive oil
1. Fill a large pot with 3-inches of water and bring to a boil. Add shrimp, and bring to a boil again, then cook for about 2 more minutes or until shrimp are pink. Drain, then peel under running water, leaving the shrimp tails attached.
2. In a large serving bowl, layer shrimp, onions, lemon slices, capers and bay leaves.
3. In a small mixing bowl, blend the remaining ingredients, whisking well. Pour over the shrimp layers. Cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, up to 3 days. Be sure to stir the mixture occasionally.
YIELD: 8 or more servings

City seeks to grow specialty food and beverage industry
Small businesses making artisanal cheese, locally brewed beer and other specialty foods are cropping up more in the five boroughs, but the City Council is hoping to make operating these local food and beverage firms easier.
Since 2008, the number of specialty food and beverage manufacturers has grown by more than 11 percent, to 1,097 such firms last year, according a Pratt Center study on the industry commissioned by the council and released Tuesday.
"This report shows there's a big appetite for economic growth in our local food and beverage manufacturing industry," City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said in a statement.
The study found the city needs to better support burgeoning small businesses so they can become larger companies and employ more New Yorkers.
The report recommends increasing financial assistance for local businesses seeking to sell their products to larger companies, such as creating a modified loan program for small firms. A Specialty Food Industry Development Corporation, the report says, could address challenges across the sector cooperatively.
The report also suggests creating a co-packing facility for smaller manufacturers to share so that they might fill larger orders and keep production in the city.
"A critical next step for economic growth is for food entrepreneurs to transition from distributing their products themselves to working with other food companies and distributors to get onto more shelves," Adam Friedman, director of the Pratt Center for Community Development, said in a statement.
The specialty food and beverage industry employs about 15,000 New Yorkers, officials said.
For the report, the Pratt Center spoke with industry stakeholders, including manufactures, distributors, buyers and food experts.

We booked this cruise in 2012 to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Before booking airline tickets, we added a week in glorious London pre cruise. Please read the London review on the British Isle boards.
I started the roll call that eventually included almost 50 people. The cruise was amazing, but meeting and enjoying time with our fellow cruisers added much to the experience. For those of you who lurk on the boards as I once did, get on or start your roll call. Be active, take advantage of what the boards offer. We all took the attitude it was great to meet up, but that we all may have needs for privacy and time to spend with family/friends. I invite others from the cruise to comment and fill in the gaps. We truly had an amazing group of CCers. I hope to sail with many of you again.
I want to thank fellow cruisers who traveled before us for all of their advice, so now I am taking the opportunity to pay it back. I am hoping this review will help fellow cruisers especially those traveling next year. I develpoed a spreadsheet and table that help us form private tours. All information is based on my own experiences, and true to the best of my understanding, however, things change all the time.
Our group included folks from Canada, England, Australia, and the US. We even had one couple who found us through romeinlimos tour sharing who are now CC fans.
Flights: We took advantage of last summer promotional offers by the major US carriers to purchase extra airline miles on both United Airlines and American Airlines to help us meet a required goal of 60,000 miles each for 2 people to fly to and from Europe. So the total cost was about $900.00 for the 2 of us. I then studied the availability for booking using miles at the 331 day mark. Doing this I determined it was best to fly over to Europe on American Airlines and back on United Airlines. So at 3am on the 331 day out I snagged 2 seats on American from Fresno to Heathrow. 21 days later I snagged the 2 return tickets from Barcelona to Fresno on United. Just some tips, other things may work for you.
Packing: Of course I packed too much, but one of our fellow CCers actually had to buy another suitcase to get stuff home! I am a true believer in packing cubes now and for the first time in my many years of travel actually know where my stuff is.
Cabin: We originally book a balcony cabin, but after several price drops we upgraded to an Aft Penthouse Suite, the Gemini Suite. More on this at the end of the review.
We left Fresno and flew to LAX, then on to Chicago OHara and finally London. We used Just Airports private car service from Heathrow to our flat in London and then again from the flat to Gatwick. This flat is ideally located next to the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel on Albert Embankment. Please see review on the British Isles boards.
AA placed us in the back of the plane, but there were many empty seats so I could actually sleep for short intervals. Even so after landing we still did not feel human for the first day.
After a week in London, we flew into Venice from Gatwick on British Airways. British Airways did not charge luggage fees (first bag) and served breakfast. We found it better to fly with them. The flight was about 2 hours. We booked a shared water taxi in Venice from the airport. We did wait about 40 minutes but then passed all of the slower public transport boats on our way to the hotel. This was a nice wooden speed boat.Nice experience.
We stayed at the Hilton Molino Stucky. The rooftop pool is awesome. We were able to see the Spirit arrive as she cruised right in front of the hotel. Everything here is extremely expensive; including 8 Euros for a glass of ice tea. The hotel shuttle boat to Saint Mark's only runs on the hour and takes 2 breaks twice during the day at which time it does not run for 2 hours. The schedule is posted on the hotel's web site. The public transpiration does not stop at the hotel; you need to take the number 2 M blue line. The public transport that includes the 12 hour pass does not stop at the hotel. You will need to cross over bridges, some of which have stairs. So take all of this into consideration when staying at the Hilton. This hotel is the place for Venice as it is a refuge away from the scores of tourists. The view from the rooftop hotel and restaurant is amazing. We book this on a promotion of 35 percent off.
Then the" M" blue line leaves directly from the Hilton starting about 11 am every half hour and arrives at the port in 6 minutes. You do not need to take the people mover. Buy tickets in advance or have change 18 Eros for 2 with our luggage. As many people have reported on these boards the NCL Spirit does not currently dock at the 2nd people mover stop so you do have somewhat of a hike from the people mover, but much less of a hike from the boat dock.
Boarding looked chaotic; we had priority boarding and were on board and in our cabin in a short period of time. After settling in the room, we went into Venice, using the people mover and public transportation line from Piazza Roma. This whole process took over an hour from the ship to Saint Mark's Square. At rush hour many people are returning to Piazza Roma and the train station stop, so the Vaporetto was packed, with the captain yelling at people to stop boarding as he had too many already. Venice was insanely crowded in late August.
The cruise departing from Venice is very nice as the two sea days are much appreciated after a week on the go in London.
Our meet and greet was day 2 at 10AM in Henry's Pub. Much of the credit for this goes to "haleoak J and S". They had prepared Disney buttons name tags for everyone. About 40 people attended. The ships officers were present.
We had 2 games. One was a gift exchange. Each person brought a gift which represents their home. CCers picked up a gift then opened it and tried to guess the identity of the giver. This opened folks up to mingle. The gift I chose was a wonderful book about Frank Lloyd Wright and his buildings. I knew immediately it was from a couple from Chicago. Thank you! What a wonderful treasure. We took Pistachio nuts from California and Macadamia nuts from Hawaii. Both were inside reusable bags. I saw the couple with our Hawaiian bag using it 2 days later. Roger picked up a University of Florida gators t shirt which he wore on the tours. Ok yes, he screams American tourist.
The 2nd game was a trivia contest with questions about the ship and the ports. Each person who wanted to play put 5 Euros in the pot. You could play for free and not share in the pot if you wanted. The questions were fairly difficult. The pot was split between first and second place prize. The split was about 70/30. I won! I collected about 65 Euros!
Sample questions included, "How many bridges cross the Grand Canal in Venice and what was the original name of the NCL Spirit?
Dinning: Service in the main dining rooms was painfully slow. Some in our group reported service in the Garden was faster than Windows, but my experience was that both were very slow. The food was mediocre from my point of view, but I realize this is an individual thing.
Cagney's: Breakfast and lunch was opened to suite guest and was great. The steakhouse dinner was excellent as well. Service was slow as we stayed for three hours.
Teppanyaki: Great as well. This service was quicker. I suspect this was because the next group was to come in soon. Only 10 guest at a time. Reserve as soon as you board, this sold out before the next morning.
La Trattoria: This was most our favorite meal. The waiter insisted we try everything. He was delightful as was the meal.
Shows: We attended a few game shows but only one show in the Stardust Theater. I was not impressed, but others were. I did enjoy the suite seating area though.
We did go to the Bee Gees tribute. After that people recognized us everywhere (including those on the plane home) as dancers. We are really not that good.
The pool was crowded but you could find a chair if you wanted. The hot tubs were full most of the time except early morning and late in the evening. Everyone was quite polite when sharing this public space. We found our preferred space was right next to the Bier Garden starboard side as there was an excellent sea view. Get there early! The pool is salt water, the hot tubs chlorinated. The back of the ship has the kid's pool, but no one over the age of 12 can go down the slide (boo) too bad for me and "B" from Vancouver Island.
We both wanted to go down that slide.
Not very many kids this cruise as probably school had started in most places. Our suite was directly under the kid's pool area, but we only noticed noise while in port. All families appeared to be having a good time. I would I imagine it might be more difficult with more kids on board to share the space.
Tours. It is important to remember that you will get a brief experience in most ports. If are ok with that you will be fine. There is not enough time to do everything. To do that you need to stay overnight in most of the ports and several days in some of them. Private tours are the best option for all of the ports in my opinion. Study the descriptions, reviews and costs and make your decisions.
Something else I think is important to keep in mind for all of us who do not speak the languages is that most are doing their best to communicate with us. Sometimes the words they speak may not match exactly with our interpretations. I believe since I do not speak their language, I should give them the benefit of the doubt before jumping to any conclusions. Additionally their customs and laws may be different, and I need to respect that.
That being said, it is possible for some to DIY. Keep in mind the ship called for missing passengers on several ports. I do not believe we left anyone, but in Rome one group boarded within one minute of cut off time. The captain was not pleased.
Athens: We entered the port about 7am. We were lucky enough to have our concierge, Yahira, take us out and met Nicolas from privategreecetours. We went immediately to the Acropolis. Nicolas gave us some brief history as well as a cell phone to call him when we were finished. Tickets for the Acropolis were 12 Euros each, cash. We walked to the top though a basically empty path. Greek soldiers were marching down from raising the flag at the site, fully armed. . Many heroic stories exist around this flag pole, including two teenagers (one who is still alive) who raised the Greek flag after the Nazis ordered it removed. The other story centers around the Greek soldier ordered to lower it by the Nazis who then did so, warped himself in the flag and jumped to his death.
Once we spent some time at the top, many, many, many people began to arrive. The path is uneven with some parts consisting of gravel and others parts are marble. Marble can be extremely slippery. Be careful. Wear good shoes.
Next we visited the Temple of Zeus. Only a few of the original columns remain.
Next we visited the Parliament building and watched the changing of the guards. Nicolas told us where to position ourselves to obtain the best photographs. Next we went high up a hill to obtain some magnificent photos of the city. We then visited the modern Olympic stadium. We stopped at the old market for some shopping and an authentic Greek lunch. We also stopped at a local market for other supplies,then back to the ship in plenty of time.
Nicolas was very informative and entertaining. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. Ask for him when you visit Athens.
Ephesus: Again we were off early. Today we traveled with Ephesus shuttle. This van was brand new and the tour guide was included in the price. The drive was just under an hour on a very modern highway. Benjamin's spoke all the way telling us about Turkey. We went first to the House of the Virgin Mary. This was up a hill, the countryside was very pretty and the air was cool at the site. After this visit we stopped for some Turkish tea and coffee. Next we went down to Ephesus with Benjamin explaining the ruins as well as life in the ancient city. The ruins are impressive as well as the Terrace Houses. The amphitheater is amazing. We stopped and did some shopping at the shops at the end and then back to the ship. Benjamin turned on a hot spot for us allowing us to check email. Nice touch. Today was a short day. I could not even imagine trying to do this as a DYI. The day is too short, and the distance too far from the port.
Istanbul:. Again we travelled with Ephesus shuttle. Husain was our private guide Husain and driver. Husain was very well educated on Turkish and Istanbul history. All of our guides were amazing; I would say Husain was outstanding.
We visited the Blue Mosque removing our shoes and covering our heads, shoulders and knees for women. Men covered their knees. There were wraps available for those who had shorts and short sleeve shirts. The mosque was amazing. Pictures were allowed. Next was the Hagia Sophia. This is a very large museum. After that we walked to the Topkapi Place. Armed guards were present at the entrance. We had a wonderful lunch overlooking the Bosporus straight at the Konyali restaurant.
After lunch we viewed the sultan and his family's wardrobe and the Crown Jewels. We then entered the area where many holy relics are kept. Then we visited the clocks and weapons area. After this we visited the spice market, as the grand bazaar was closed as it was Sunday. We bought some saffron and tea.
Purchasing items in Turkey. This is very confusing. Businesses will accept other currencies but they are estimating their best options for currency exchange. My guess is they would need to estimate on the high end. Try and estimate what you might spend and then pay cash items in Lira and use your credit card if you need to, but purchase items in Lira.
Mykonos:. We docked at this port. The crew said it was the first time this season. Usually the Spirit tenders at Mykonos. Then we were bused to the port. We were supposed to go on a kayak tour, but after driving to the other side of the island and studying the water the operator decided it was too windy. The narrow streets were full of tourist on ATVs. We therefore went back to town and first swam in the sea. Then we walked into town we took pictures at the windmills and little Venice. We had a couple of beers at a very nice place right on the water, Rhapsody Cocktail Bar-pub.
Amalfi and Pompeii: We hired Simply Amalfi this tour. Salvatore was our guide. He was very funny. The views were simply amazing along the coast. We had lunch at a local restaurant but the bill was very confusing as we did not get separate checks; and all of the drinks were listed as one item. One member of our group could not eat her lunch. Salvatore felt bad about this and brought her a book and a bottle of limoncello. Next we went to Pompeii. We hired a private guide for this site. This was a great choice as the area is massive (66 football fields) and the guide was very knowledgeable.
Rome: Romeinlimos Ultimate Tour of Rome. Our guide for today was Sergio. We went straight to Rome after disembarking the ship early again. If you have the opportunity to do this, take advantage of it for Athens and Rome. Both drivers in these ports were pleased we were some of the very first off the ship.
Rome included the Coliseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Parthenon and the Vatican. We did not visit the Vatican as we had been there before. Instead we went back to the Forum. We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon exploring more of the Forum. Sergio then took us to a grocery store and a quick stop for gelato. The gelato was very good. Our ticket for the coliseum allowed us entrance to the Forum. Ah Roma!
Cingue Terra and Pisa:. We hired a private tour company, Papillion. Nicolette was our driver. We drove to the Portovenere where we had about 20 minutes to explore the town . Then she gave us the boat schedule for the different towns. We purchased ferry tickets for 16 Euros each. The Ferry was very crowded as there was a cruise ship in La Spezia which is very close to Portovenere . Romaggione, the lovers walk is stilled closed as of September 2013. Be quick to get off the boat as the captain does not linger We missed the first stop as by the time we walked forward the captain had tossed off to the next town. It all worked well, however ,since we spent more time in Vernazza. We climbed to the top of the Belforte Tower (1,50 Euro admission, worth the price and the climb for the incredible view). Being part time Hawaiian residents, we never leave for a warm inviting coast line without a bathing suit on or in our backpack, so we were prepared to surrender to the clear waters and jump right in.
Next we took the ferry to the last town, Monterosso. More swimming and lunch at Il Casello. What a beautiful setting and amazing view. We then travelled back thought the mountains to Pisa. We visited the square and climbed the tower. Our driver Nicollete brought both couples a package of be noting, a rather fat spaghetti with a hole in it at one end that we had fallen in love with at the previous ports.
Toulon: Everyone thought we would all be exhausted by now and so we all were. We took our time and went off ship about 10 am. We visited the town and then found a nice beach about a 35 minute walk from the port. It was relaxing but it is topless. We brought some lavender soap and had some pommes frites( French fries). Others reported shops closed in the early afternoon, for a few hours, so make note of that.
Barcelona: We arrived at 5am. Still sleeping and dreading leaving the ship. We had breakfast in Cagney's one last time and then were escorted off with our luggage by Yahira. Very easy.
We met outside with more from our group for a tour of the city with Barcelona Day Tours. Anna was our guide. She was delightful. This was a shared tour and we picked up six more who were getting on the ships( 4 to the spirit and 2 on a RCL ship) the tour included la Sagrada Famllia(church of the holy family) Anna was very knowledgeable and shared her expertise. We then said good bye to our Canadian Friends (happy planner and family) and went on to our hotel Holiday inn express with Haleoak. This was a budget friendly hotel that had a marvelous boulevard with cafes and shop and vendors one street over that lead to the Beach. This was very lively without the crowds of Las rambles . By now we had had enough of crowds and markets. We enjoyed Paella on the beach at Eseriba.
We returned to the hotel, and collapsed to sleep preparing for our flight home. We shared a taxi with "haleoak" and arrived at the terminal in plenty of time. The fare was about 50 Euros. There are several different check points. First you obtain your boarding passes and drop luggage. Next a security checks point. You then enter the main shopping area. However, you have one more checkpoint. This is for your passports. After this, we found few restaurants and shops. This reminded me of all of the hoops we go through flying from Hawaii to the mainland.
Cabin 9212 Gemini suite.
This suite is simply wonderful. A very thorough review written a few years ago by "Needhamite" can be found on the boards and is still very accurate. The cabin has more of a European feel with soothing colors and paintings of Venice. The aft balcony has 2 chairs and one lounger. The hot tub overlooking the wake is great. You must fill the water up to get the jets to work. There is plenty of storage space and two small safes. The lighting system is a bit confusing. There are two main switches which will turn everything on and off. Even so, the bedroom can be very dark. Afternoon treats consisted of either cheese and bread or sweets.
Along with the suite you can have breakfast and lunch in Cagney's ,priority disembarkation, access to a DVD library. an invitation to the captain's cocktail party, early entry into the Chocolate Buffett, and reserved seating at the shows among other perks. We found ourselves using the back stairs located at each end of the back hallway to go up to the pool. Room service for breakfast was available but Cagney's was open early on the port days, so we usually went there.
Yahira , the concierge was great. She greeted us in the VIP lounge in Venice. She immediately secured dinning seats for us in Teppanyaki, while we were we waiting for someone to escort to our room. The next morning in Cagney's we discovered all these seats were taken by then. I suspect that this is true of the Chef's table as well. The Chef's table was held twice once on the day we visited Ephesus( a short day) and again, the day we visited Rome. The priority disembarkation was the real perk, however.
My vacation heroes were Mary Jane, our butler,Emmanuel, cabin steward, and Yahira. The three of them worked tirelessly to make our vacation a true experience to remember. Their smiles and can do attitudes reflect their dedication to their work. It is easy to understand why they hold their current positions. I would expect due to their professional expertise and their dedication to their work that all of them will advance to other positions within the company. Thank you, Mary Jane, Yahira and Emmanuel.
For those of you considering this trip, you are in for a real treat!

TREASURE COAST -- Back to school, fall football, and gridiron memories are best when safety is the number one factor in winning.
Daniel A. Rukeyser, D.C., founder of Vital Wellness Center, reminds parents, coaches, and players that proper precautions on and off the field add up to a winning season for the community.
"Football safety, for players of all ages, begins at home with the player's parents," said Dr. Rukeyser. "It's generally recognized that children under six should not play competitive football and children under ten should not play tackle football. However, for every play, no matter the sport they play, a pre-participation physical evaluation should be standard procedure for athletes of all ages."
Every athlete should receive a pre-participation physical evaluation to detect conditions which could make playing football or other sports life-threatening or disabling and detect medical or musculoskeletal conditions that could predispose an athlete to injury or illness during practice or competition. The evaluation should include both a medical history and physical exam.
o The PPE should be performed by a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner with the training and medical skills to recognize heart disease and orthopedic conditions of concern for football.
o In addition to cardiovascular screening, the PPE for football should include an orthopedic exam focusing on neck strength, joint range of motion, flexibility, anatomical misalignments and muscle-tendon imbalances and documentation/re-examination of past neurological, bone and joint injuries.
o Conditions should be documented which have potential implications for an athlete's safety during practice or games (e.g., visual impairment, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, severe allergies, sickle cell disease, history of heat illness, history of concussion, use of medications, use of steroids, symptoms of eating disorders, etc.).
"Parents of young athletes should take an active role in making sure their children are prepared to play safe football. They should be well-informed about specific injury prevention measures, including safer blocking and tackling techniques that do not use the head. They should be free to make unannounced visits to practices and should ask questions if they see something that seems unsafe. In addition, parents should be sure any injury is reported to the athletic program staff, should reinforce compliance with treatments or rehabilitation after injury," Dr. Rukeyser said.
Dr. Rukeyser also says it's important that precautions be in place should an injury happen on the field of play during football or other athletic events.
o A telephone should be immediately available at all game and practice sites, with prominent posting of numbers of ambulance, paramedics, first aid personnel and police.
o Plainly-marked emergency first aid equipment should be accessible on the field. This equipment should be inspected periodically to assure its completeness, cleanliness and usability.
o An emergency action plan should be developed and rehearsed. Key personnel who are to carry out the plan should be identified. The plan should include responses to severe injuries, hypothermia, heat illness and even allergic reactions to plants and stinging insects.
o A National Athletic Trainers Association-certified athletic trainer or a physician should be available at every game and practice. If this is not possible, a physician should be available by phone or pager. At a minimum, a specific agreement should be negotiated with a local emergency department and/or emergency medical service provider to deal with injured athletes.
o Up-to-date medical information for each athlete should be immediately accessible at the site of every game and practice. This information should include emergency contacts, preferred physician, preferred hospital and a signed consent form giving permission to provide emergency care. In addition, any health conditions or medications should be documented.
o Emergency transportation should be available on the scene or within six minutes from the football field. There should be no cars blocking ambulance routes to the field.
"Our children and student athletes should be encouraged to be active and participate in sports. Together, parents, athletes, coaches, and medical community, we can make sports more fun and safer," said Dr. Rukeyser.

This paper consists of both research and reflective writing and demonstrates in-depth my learning and development over the past two years in the College Student Services Administration (CSSA) program. Furthermore, in this paper I describe and analyze where I was developmentally both professionally and personally before entering the CSSA program, the growth I experienced as a result of this program and my future aspirations and goals related to working in the field of higher education. I discuss and give examples of how my various internships, projects, classes, current research, personal experiences and assistantship have assisted me in addressing the five competencies. In addition, I discuss my area of specialization and the reasoning behind my decision to further my learning in that area. Finally, it is my hope that I can use some parts of this paper to contribute to a research article which will add to the literature in the field.

The major purpose of this study was to test the relationship between students' cerebral lateralization for the Arabic language and their achievement in science. A secondary purpose was to investigate handedness as a factor in that relationship. The experiment was conducted in the City of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using dichotic listening. A test consisting of eight introductory and 30 experimental trials of three pairs of monosyllabic Arabic words was administered to 280 male students in grade 11. The trial time was one and onehalf seconds. Ten seconds following each trial was used for free recall. Using the dichotic test, students were classified as having right- or left-ear preference. Right- and left-handedness was determined by means of a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and correlation. The conclusions drawn from the study were as follows: 1. Like other scriptive languages, the Arabic language was perceived and processed in the left cerebral hemisphere in the majority of the native speakers. 2. Achievement in science depends upon the organization of linguistic functions in the cerebral hemisphere and the corresponding pattern of language lateralization. 3. Left hemispheric lateralization of language furnishes a more adequate substrate for a higher level of achievement in science than does right hemispheric lateralization. 4. The degree of left hemispheric lateralization of language correlated positively with science achievement. 5. Handedness is a factor in the relationship between science achievement and language lateralization. 6. Right-handedness and left cerebral lateralization of language, together, were associated with a high level of neurological readiness for learning science. 7. Left - handedness and/or right hemispheric language can be viewed as distracting elements which interferes with achievement in science. Numerous recommendations for further research were suggested. Included was the, recommendation that standardized dichotic listening tests should be developed and made available for researchers, along with normalized procedures for administering and scoring the tests.

Sixty-two junior high school science teachers in Bangkok were randomly assigned to one of two equivalent groups (experimental and control). The teachers taped two 50-minute lesson sessions, one set each for pretest and posttest. The researcher transcribed and categorized the teacher questions on the tapes, using Blosser's Question Category System for Science. Wait-time and length of teacher talk in each class session were measured with a stopwatch. Only the experimental group participated in the training program. The training program utilized an instructional pamphlet based on Blosser's (1973) Handbook of Effective Questioning Techniques. A discussion of wait-time was included. Teachers in the experimental group were asked to read and discuss question strategies, learn to categorize and use a variety of cognitive questions, and analyze their own questions and wait-time behavior. One-way analysis of covariance was used to analyze data. Data from tapes made prior to the study served as the covariates. The conclusion drawn from the study was that the training program was effective in training teachers to decrease the number of cognitive-memory questions and increase the number of divergent thinking and evaluative thinking questions they asked, extending teacher wait-time, and reducing the amount of teacher talk during instruction in the science class. No significant change occurred in the number of convergent thinking questions or the total number of all cognitive-level questions asked by the teachers. Graduation date: 1984 1984-03-13T00:00:00Z

The medications that may help lower your cholesterol may raise your risk of developing cataracts. This comes from a new study that looked into a possible link between statin drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor and cataracts. Cataracts is a clouding of the lens of the eye. Experts say cataracts are a main cause of poor vision and blindness, specifically for the elderly. Researchers at the VA North Texas Health System in Dallas say this study cannot identify that statins cause cataracts; rather, it identifies statin use as associated with a higher risk of being diagnosed with cataract. The findings appear in the online edition of JAMA Ophthalmology.

Javascript menu
11 March 2009 at 12:15pm
My client insists on having this vertical javascript menu on his site. I know it's better to use plain CSS but he is very insistent on this menu: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/ddlevelsmenu/
I can get it working as a plain html page but can't convert into SS format as I can't get the second or third level to slide out.
This is my menu code in my page.ss (see attachment: pagess_code.txt)
I've called the following scripts from my header:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mysite/ddlevelsfiles/ddlevelsmenu-base.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mysite/ddlevelsfiles/ddlevelsmenu-sidebar.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="mysite/ddlevelsfiles/ddlevelsmenu.js">
ddlevelsmenu.setup("ddsidemenubar", "sidebar") //ddlevelsmenu.setup("mainmenuid", "topbar|sidebar")
All javascript and css files have been downloaded into the ddlevelsfiles/ folder.
Any advice would help me immensely. Thanks again.

Re: Javascript menu
13 March 2009 at 7:01am
Is this a markup issue or a javascript issue? If you're feeding the JS script everything it wants, then I think you need to troubleshoot your menu script. If you're not getting the right markup, output what you're getting and we may be able to help on the SS side.
On another topic...
Just because your client wants that functionality doesn't mean you're stuck with a crumby javascript artifact from 2002. Look at Superfish. It's standards-compliant, same visual effects that your client wants, but just nicer looking and more up-to-date. Even does all the IE hacking for you. That menu just looks.... yikes.

I just read this thread and wanted to ask a supplementary question. I am trying to introduce a JavaScript-based feature for doing rounded-corners on content blocks (based on this method: http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200609/transparent_custom_corners_and_borders_version_2/).
My question is, when I need to bring in a third-party JavaScript, where is the best place to put it, and what is the best way to call it? I can see a whole lot of JavaScript files in the jsparty folder, but is this a good place? There is also a javascript folder under mysite, which seems like the proper place. It is not clear though how you actually call the script. Obviously I can hard-code the <script> element into the head of my page.ss file, but is there a more elegant way (e.g., is there a variable similar to $Metadata that I can call)?
I suppose I can hack my way through this: I'm really looking for advice on best practice.

Thanks UncleCheese. I don't think it's a problem with the script or the SS. I think i just don't know exactly how to write the menu code. The 1st level menu is appearing how it should be however i can't get the second level menu to slide out. So it's reading the CSS but not the javascript.
I found this link to a Superfish menu: http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/#examples (verticle example)
If i place this code in the head of my page.ss, what <control> menu code do i need to use within the page to get the menu working?
Thanks so much for your help.
Re: Javascript menu
14 March 2009 at 2:39am
First of all, I think this will be helpful to both of you. The proper way to include third party javascript is to place it in your mysite/javascript folder and call it in with the controller. Not on the template.
class MyPage_Controller extends Page_Controller
function init()
So for you, Briohny, you need to use the above method to pull in jquery.js, superfish.js, superfish.css, and superfish-vertical.css.
For the markup, you can do
<% control Menu(1) %>
<% control Children %>
<% control Children %>
<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>
something like that ought to work.

Thanks for that. I looked in the Page_Controller code (mysite/code/Page.php), but I see a message there (this is v2.3):
// Note: you should use <% require %> tags inside your templates instead of putting Requirements calls here. However
// these are included so that our older themes still work
I can't find a reference describing how to use <% require %> tags: can you point me to any docs on this?
Re: Javascript menu
14 March 2009 at 5:44am
Ha... I can't either. That's why I recommended doing it the old way. I'm not sure what's going on with those <% require %> tags. Never used 'em, never seen them used.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
60th anniversary of Berlin Blockade attracts little newspaper attention
Sixty years ago, West Berlin – occupied by U.S., British and French forces – was totally surrounded by Russian-occupied East Berlin and East Germany. And 60 years ago today, the Russians cut off all road, rail and water access to and from West Berlin. The blockade was on; the Berlin Airlift was to start two days later. You'll find a reference in some of the "This day in history" sites, such as this from The New York Times: "On this day" service: "Communist forces cut off all land and water routes between West Germany and West Berlin, prompting the United States to organize a massive airlift."
We thought German newspapers would be marking the day in some fashion, but if they are, it's not on Page One, with a few exceptions. Der Tagesspiegel, the primary newspaper in the American sector of Berlin, which started in 1945, has a Page One photo of the Airlift Memorial with teases to three stories inside and a head proclaiming "That was the airlift." However, we couldn't find any reference to the airlift on Page One of the other two Berlin dailies on our site, Die Welt and Die Tageszeitung.
We also checked the front page of the daily published in Germany for American troops in Europe, Stars and Stripes. Again, nary a word to remind today's military of their heritage. However, we did find brief stories on the two dailies published in Bremen, the Weser-Kurier and the Bremer Nachrichten. Not the showing we expected. Perhaps they'll do better Thursday, to mark the start of the airlift.
What are the German dailies playing up, you ask? The Heilbronner Stimme in Heilbronn has an impressive photo of a lightning strike to go with the story about the changing climate in the country; the Sueddeutsche Zeitung in Munich plays up a story about a debt limit for the nation and the states; the Fuldaer Zeitung in Fulda has a large keel-up photo of the ferry that sank in the Philippines plus a story; and the Saechsische Zeitung in Dresden tells its readers that smart cards are planned for all workers, but that is topped with large picture of a blonde Canadian singer who – and we're not making this up — reportedly is heating up Dresden's young guard.

Armed with some creative financing and impatient for construction to begin, the developers of the stalled Museum Plaza project hope to resume construction on the 703 feet skyscraper by this fall.
"Now is the time to build Museum Plaza," said developer Steve Wilson, "We never gave up hope, working quietly every single day to get this important project financed and under construction."
The breakthrough could come in the form of a federal loan, backed by surrounding counties and the personal guarantee of developers.
"The Kentucky Department of Local Government is applying for a $100 million federal loan from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to be used by the developers to help build this project," explained Gov. Steve Beshear (D-KY). "It is an innovative financing program that the Commonwealth has never before applied for."
The project was announced in February 2006, with a groundbreaking in October, 2007. Some progress has been made since then with the demolition of a ten story LG&E substation and the removal of underground cable. But, construction was halted in 2008 after neighbors complained about vibrations from the drilling for huge concrete pillars. The coinciding collapse of financial markets has frozen credit and the project.
As months and years passed, the future of the avant garde 62-story, skyline altering skyscraper has been up in the air.
The footprint of the three legged structure vacant on the waterfront.
"For the last two years, we've been wondering if this project was ever going to come about," admitted Joe Wise, business manager of the Greater Louisville Construction and Trades Council.
With private financing of a $465 million project unlikely, if not impossible under current conditions, Museum Plaza developers convinced the state to apply for a loan from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Museum Plaza is not eligible to apply for a HUD loan, but the state is.
Under the scheme, HUD would loan $100 million in federal funds to Kentucky. The collateral for that loan comes not from Jefferson County, but surrounding counties' Community Block Development Grants.
The Kentucky Department of Local Government would be a "pass through agent" for the money to go to Museum Plaza, whose developers, particularly Laura Lee Brown's personal fortune, are guaranteeing the $100 million loan.
"Laura Lee and I have provided significant safeguards to the state in connection with this loan," Wilson said, "without which the project would remain delayed."
Beshear said he has "personally reviewed the finances of all the individual developers and I can assure you with 150% certainty that we have more than sufficient collatoral to make sure that this is a risk free transaction for the state."
The HUD loan would be in the name of the governments of surrounding counties that want to participate, possibly Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, Hardin and Bullitt Counties. The fiscal courts of each participating county would have to approve the deal.
It's estimated that Museum Plaza will create 4,500 construction jobs.
More than 2300 people are expected to work there once the building is complete. As part of the HUD requirement, a majority of those permanent jobs must be made available both to low and moderate income workers, and to residents of surrounding counties.
The proposal will get a public hearing at the Department of Local Government on Wednesday, July 7. Developers say Louisville's congressional delegation is on board, but it is HUD's decision to make.
"We have had many conversations with folks from HUD here in the Louisville office as well as in Washington," explained developer Craig Greenberg, "and we are very excited about the prospects of this loan and confident in it success."
Who knows how many construction projects across the country have been stalled by the national credit crunch?
The Museum Plaza site has been growing weeds for two years. But there is a difference between most projects and this one, the wealth and community interest of the Brown family of Louisville -- Brown as in distillery giant Brown-Forman -- and its wealthy heirs.
"And because they have been willing to step up, this is a risk free transaction for the Commonwealth of Kentucky," said Beshear.
The Brown family's influence has shaped Louisville for generations, and Laura Lee Brown's husband made clear that her commitment is substantial.
"Working quietly and at all hours of the day and night," Wilson said, "She has taken great personal risk for our community."
"It's going to be a testament and a legacy that you have made happen," said Kentucky Senate President David Williams (R-Burkesville), "and our state will be eternally grateful to you for allowing this to happen."

VERMILLION, S.D. (KWSN) —A season-opening trip to Eugene to take on the Oregon Ducks, a home opener against William Penn and a Dakota Days contest against UNI highlight South Dakota's 2014 football schedule released Tuesday by head football coach Joe Glenn.
The fall slate features 12 regular season games – six home and six away. With the exception of Indiana State, the Coyotes will take on all members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC). That includes a first-ever meeting against Southern Illinois on the opening weekend of MVFC play on Oct. 4.
The season starts Aug. 30 against Oregon, an 11-2 team that beat Texas in the Alamo Bowl and finished with a top-10 national ranking. It will be the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
The Coyotes will return home to host William Penn, an NAIA team from Oskaloosa, Iowa, that USD beat 52-0 to begin the 2009 season. South Dakota has won 12 consecutive home openers dating back to 2003.
The non-conference slate concludes with rematches against both Montana (Sept. 13) and Northern Arizona (Sept. 20) of the Big Sky Conference. Glenn has held coaching positions at both programs in the past. He was the backfield coach in Flagstaff, Ariz., in 1975 before he received his first head coaching position at Doane College. He led Montana to a national championship in 2001 and a national runner-up finish in 2000.
South Dakota will take a week off from competition before opening conference play against the Salukis in Carbondale, Ill. USD will play four home games in the six weeks that follow. That includes the Dakota Days date with UNI on Oct. 11. South Dakota and rival-South Dakota State square off in the regular season finale Nov. 22 in Brookings for the SD Corn Showdown Series.
A full look at the 2014 football schedule is shown below. Start times will be announced at a later date.

Incumbent Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-Mineola, was re-elected to her ninth term in Congress Tuesday night.
McCarthy secured nearly 62 percent of the vote, beating back a challenge from Nassau County Legis. Francis Becker, R-Lynbrook, who had the support of 32 percent of the district's voters. Frank Scaturro, C-New Hyde Park, was a distant third, with less than 6 percent.
McCarthy had 138,561 votes, while Becker had 72,673 votes. Scaturro earned 13,243 votes. The Congresswoman declared victory shortly after midnight at Eleanor Rigby's in Mineola and issued the following statement, touching upon the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and its impact on Tuesday's elections:
"This election has been unlike any I've ever experienced – I spent the entire day not at poll sites or campaigning but on the phone with LIPA and my colleagues in government, and working with my staff to help the many constituents who have called us looking for help after Hurricane Sandy. Meanwhile, my campaign staff worked all day to help people vote, with so many poll sites relocated and a gas shortage that's just not letting up fast enough.
McCarthy added:
"We prevailed tonight because the voters of Long Island chose their candidates based on our records, and they came out to vote despite the great challenges posed by the most devastating storm our area has seen in living memory ... Tomorrow, we go back to work to continue fighting to get the lights back on, to get gas flowing again, and to help get the lives of Long Islanders back on track after a very difficult week."
In her statement, McCarthy also acknowledged that there are still ballots to be counted, but said she was "confident" the results would show that the people have entrusted her with another term "to fight for them in Washington."
She thanked her supporters, staff, family and constiuents, and said she "looks forward to working with everyone in [her] district, including [her] opponents in this election, to serve the people of Long Island."
It's the second time McCarthy defeated Becker in a Congressional race. She outdistanced him in 2010 by a 89,828-77,483 margin.
Becker is a long-time Lynbrook resident and graduate of Lynbrook HS. He is the first elected representative of the 6th Legislative District in the Nassau County Legislature, and has been re-elected for nine consecutive terms. Becker won re-election in 2011 over Democrat Anthony Gonzalez, capturing 69 percent of the vote.
McCarthy has been serving in Congress since 1996, when she ran on a gun control platform she launched after her son was injured and husband killed in the 1993 massacre on the Long Island Rail Road.
In her first eight terms she has sponsored the National Instant Criminal Background Check Database (NICS) Improvement Amendments Act, gun legislation signed into law by President Bush in 2008; and the Serve America Act and the Civil Rights Oral History Project, both signed into law by President Obama in 2009.CandidatesVotes% Precincts ReportedMcCarthy138,561 61.72Becker72,673 32.37

Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I love Greenville! I has been all of my children's school since 2000...even now my High schooler still returns to see his teachers and how the school has changed...It's given him and us as parents a wonderful foundation.
Ladys from office r very rude don't help at all Give u very bad attitude I felt very bad. I was a incoming parent for kinder of 2015. but I had a very bad experience with ladys in office didn't want to help me or give me some info I needed. Never would put my child there. NO NO STAR
This school is absolutely ridiculous! I am a kindergarten parent, new to Greenville and my husband and I have never experienced such a lack of communication with the parents. Our children get progress reports and certain areas are marked that our child have not yet mastered, yet we have no idea each week what they are learning, what is being taught, what they are supposed to know so we can help our child at home. There are apparently assemblies but we were NEVER notified about, they stress that parent involvement is so important in our child's education but if we don't know what is going on, how can we help? All we are aware of is the homework they bring home, and notes they put in a folder. There is no dialogue with the teachers/administation whatsoever. I am extremely shocked that this school is even given the rating they have, it does no coincide with what we are experiencing. 9 out of 10 kids have a sibling that attend or have attended this school, so most parents are aware of 'how it works' here, but there is no support or empathy for parents who are new to the school, it's very sad, and this is supposed to be one of the better school in Santa Ana? Absolutely ridiculous...
i have been going to Greenville ever since kinder. the school is very good and does have uniforms , but have a great education . they taught me so much and is one of the best schools ever!
My son started going to this school since 2nd grade. Its a very decent school and I'm happy with the structure
Educators are excelent. School is very well organize. Parents are willing to volunteer when asked. Students are very disciphine. My son loves his teacher, and he can't wait to go to school every morning.
The Teacher are very good..well everything who help manage the school are very execlent..including parent they help and volenteer a lot,too..Bravo Greeville!!!!
Both My Children Come To This School... My Oldest is in the 2nd grade. It is a good school with the exception of the new traffic flow. I perferred the old way better. I have never waited so long in that school lot before. No matter how early I leave my home, I am always late to work cuz most of my time is spent waithing in the lot. Today, I literally was waiting for 20 mins. Parents are dropping their kids off on the side street in the back. It seems like it keeps getting worse. I suggust they bring the 'old' drop-off back or have that 'new' side street in the back be an entrance & an exit. This is one issue that has me wanting to switch schools.
This is my granddaughters 6th year at Greenville. Now I have another granddaughter and a grandson in kindergarten. I have nothing but good things to say about the teachers and the school!
This is my daughters' first year at Greenville. She's a kindergarten studen. So far, she loves the school, her teacher and the traffic helpers. And so do I. At this point I don't have any negative thoughts towards the school. :)
I am very impressed with all the progress including the new traffic flow. Please keep up all the good works
My daughter is about to enter 2nd grade and loves Greenville. She has been there since kindergarden. It's a great school with high academic standards and strict rules. Parking and drop off/pickup always been a huge drawback but finally something has been done to ease that. A second parking lot has been built along with small side street.
Greenville is a wonderful school. Most of the teachers have been teaching at Greenville for many, many years. The principal is great. The parking is horrendous, meaning there is no parking so really you cannot interact with your child's teacher or the other parents on a daily basis. These are the main drawbacks of the school. It is lacking community because the traffic and limited parking forces parents not to interact with the school environment. They simply stay in their cars and drive through to drop off their children and pick up their children. There is a select group of extremely involved parents that carry the weight of the school upon their shoulders. Out of 30 kids in my daughters class, I am the only parent that volunteers in the classroom. The school does however have high academic standards and is the best school in the Santa Ana Unified district.
This school is great.Teachers are friendly.
Highly recommend this school for parents that care about their children's education. Parents be prepared to go back to school yourself. Lots of parent involvement. Well worth it in the end.
My daughter has gone to this school for 3 years now and excels in all that she does. She loves the teachers and I love the education she is receiving. They run a strict ship at this school but the kids never miss a beat! Thank you for providing what she needs both academically and socially.
I feel Greenville is the best Elementary School in the Santa Ana District. My daughter was well prepared thanks to her teacher, for the STAR test this year and her scores are at the Proficient Level. This is the test results I want to see for my daughter. I am confident my daughter is getting the education she deserves through Greenville.
My granddaughter attends this school and is very excited about going to school each day. I'm amazed when I see how much she has learned in such a short time. I think the teachers are great!
This school has very high expectations for students, both academically and socially. Students are expected to behave, and are shown 'good old-fashioned' manners. However, the academic curriculum is very up to date and students are encouraged to learn in many different ways. This is a very motivating school to be in, because everybody - parents, teachers, support staff - is excited about learning and being a responsible citizen.
This school provides a strong educational foundation, has good parent involvement.

Hussam A. Hadi, Regional Director, Spacetoon Kids TV
Nearly one half of the Iraqi population is under the age of nineteen. Having lived with insecurity and uncertainty for much of their adult lives with little opportunity for travel outside of their home town, these youth often associate more with their local communities than with a national Iraqi identity. In order for Iraq to build a lasting peace, the future leaders of the country should be able to traverse regional, cultural, and religious boundaries to strengthen dialogue and understanding. Join The Chicago Council on Global Affairs to hear Hussam A. Hadi, the fifth annual Patricia Blunt Koldyke Fellow, share his experiences with using a media platform to foster dialogue for peace among Iraqi youth.
Hussam A. Hadi is the regional director of Spacetoon Kids TV, a broadcasting organization that seeks to address the challenges facing children, caused by the conflict in Iraq. Spacetoon Kids tackles numerous social and development issues, including children's education, landmine risk education, children's rights and protection, healthcare and hygiene, and nutrition. One of the most innovative programs produced by Mr. Hadi is called, Salam Shabab, or Peace Youth. It is a reality TV show for Iraqi youth, ages fourteen to eighteen. Now in its second season, Salam Shabab is designed to empower a wide range of Iraqi teens with the skills and values needed to become active peacebuilders in their communities. In addition, Mr. Hadi developed a unique animated series called Diamond Island. The purpose of the project is to promote the tolerance of Islam in relation to other religions and to build bridges between Muslim children and young people of other faiths around the world.
The Chicago Council's Patricia Blunt Koldyke Fellowship in Social Entrepreneurship is funded by the Koldyke family to recognize a leading social entrepreneur who is working in the economic, educational, health, government, development, media, or cultural realm. This year, the selection committee focused on primary and secondary education and the media in Iraq.

By David Purdum / For the AJC
With 30 seconds left and his team in command, a fired-up Berkmar coach Greg Phillips turned to the Patriots fans behind the bench and implored them to, "Get up!"
This win meant something, and it came against the team that ended the Patriots' season last year.
C.J. Foster had a game-high 22 points, lifting unheralded Berkmar to a 56-48 upset of host Alpharetta in a second round AAAAAA state tournament game Saturday.
The Patriots (18-12) are in the quarterfinals for the second straight season and will face the Norcross-Archer winner on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Foster scored on an array of drives to the basket, which also produced plenty of trips to the foul line.
Berkmar out-scored the Raiders 20-6 from the free-throw line.
But both coaches agreed – this win was about defense.
"Alpharetta's a heck of a team," said Phillips, "and to hold them to 48 points, I just can't say enough about my guys."
Alpharetta coach Frederick Hurt said his team didn't play its best game, but said Berkmar was the reason why.
"What'd we score? Six in second quarter, and eight in the third?" asked Hurt after the game. "That's not like us. Berkmar played some very good defense."
The Patriots' man-to-man defense was physical, quick and well-positioned. There were very few open looks for Alpharetta. Raiders leading scorer Ty Toney had just five points through three quarters. By the time he got going, it was too late.
Alpharetta went nearly six minutes in the third quarter without scoring, allowing Berkmar to seize control and causing Hurt to discard his tie in frustration.
"We couldn't get in any rhythm," said Hurt. "Even when got out in transition, we fumbled it away. Credit Berkmar."
The Patriots burned close to two minutes off the clock on one third-quarter possession, and when Jonathan Sanks swished a jumper at the end of another long possession, Berkmar was up 10 heading into the fourth quarter.
Sanks finished with 15.
Malcolm Hannah opened the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer, and the Patriots maintained a three-possession lead throughout the final period.
Tony hit a couple of contested 3-pointers late in the fourth and finished with 15 to lead Alpharetta. Carlos Burse added 13, and Bjorn Walker had 11 for the Raiders (20-10).
Alpharetta eliminated Berkmar last season in the Elite 8. Foster said that made the win even sweeter, and his coach agreed.
"Last year was tough, this season was tough," said Phillips. "That's why I'm so happy for the seniors."
Berkmar – Foster 22, Sanks 15, Hannan 8, Tim Rowe 7, Sanders 2, Bradley Holmes 1, Kip Patton 1. Alpharetta – Tony 15, Burse 13, Bjorn Walker 11, Bryan Roberts 3, Jarrell Hollman 2, Grant Davis 2, Connor Ramsey 2.
Halftime: Berkmar 22, Alpharetta 20
February 23rd, 2013
11:59 pm
Basketball can be a strange game sometimes. Last year at this time Toney was scoring about 35 ppg. What a difference a year makes. Berkmar was the favorite in their Elite 8 game last year, but Alpharetta won. I guess it all just evens out.
February 24th, 2013
4:51 pm
I predict an all Region 7 final: PTR vs. Norcross.
February 25th, 2013
12:21 pm
A case of a team being better than their record might indicate. Didn't they do this to Norcross in the Region tourney ?
February 25th, 2013
2:20 pm
I wouldn't say they were a better team, just better on Saturday. Alpharetta's main scorers couldn't get a look at the basket…..and couldn't seem to keep the turnovers to a minimum. That's the playoffs for you, anything can happen!

Dedication, Unleashed
It's a partnership that continues long after the holiday lights come down. "Because of the passion Subaru and their customers have for helping animals, we collaborate on a number of programs on a year-round basis including the Subaru 'Love a Pet' Adoption Drive, sponsorship of local shelter events across the country, the National Spay/Neuter Project, and the ASPCA's national endurance training and fundraising program, Team ASPCA," Howard added. "Subaru also provides us with custom-wrapped vehicles for a number of our partner communities as well as our Veterinary Forensics Team."
And the opportunities keep growing.
Right at Home
"Last year, our Subaru 'Share the Love' donation allowed us to host a series of 'Mega Match-a-thon' adoption events and vaccination clinics nationwide," Howard continued. "This year, we are allocating 100 percent of our 'Share the Love' donation as grants to animal welfare organizations in all 50 states. We have already started allocating funds to support local shelters, animal relocation programs, and disaster relief, including Hurricane Sandy."
Driven by the commitment and the compassion of Subaru owners, this promises to be a continuing journey between Subaru and the ASPCA in giving shelter, care, and love to animals in need.
