- A must when you are in SavannahOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/19/2014Several friends and travel reviews recommended the Olde Pink House for dinner. It's sometimes hard to live up to the hype but the Old Pink House does so with aplomb. You must, must have dinner here when visiting Savannah. Reservations a must as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/18/2014Don't be put off thinking it's pricey.... it's moderate, and a great value for what is offered. Fine dining in a spectacular space with great service. What more could anyone want?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lived up to the "hype"!VanweezerDined on 9/18/2014The Olde Pink House Restaurant lived up tp all the wonderful raves we have other read and heard about. The beautiful rooms and decor were incomparable to any other restaurant we have seen. The food was delishish and the braised pork shank I had could have easily fed 2 people. Our server, was attentive and knowledgable about the menu. The only issue we found was that they were out of the wine my husband ordered and also out of the Ice wine he ordered for dessert, otherwise , we had a great dinner and experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Historical beautyNorCal1dreamingDined on 9/18/2014Dining here is always an experience, a wonderful time. The history which surrounds you as you dine is awesome, especially to a history buff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Get the Blt salad. Best ever!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014Great food. Excellent service and nice atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner was great!KateBDined on 9/17/2014All of the food (drinks / apps / entrees) was very good.Special Features:
- Planter's TavernoflaghertyDined on 9/17/2014My husband and I love Planter's Tavern, the food, the ambience, the excellent service, and most definitely, Diana Rogers at the piano. We frequently bring guests and we recommend to everyone, that a trip to Savannah is not complete without a stop, here.Special Features:
- Nice but not the nicest :/OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014We made reservations for dinner for 9/17. My husband and I were dining out to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately, we were seated in the basement, directly across from the bar. At first, we didn't mind as the live music had just begun, but as our meal progressed, and more people came down and crowded the bar area putting in their drink orders, the noise level continued to rise to the point that my husband and I couldn't hear each other without speaking loudly to each other. I was disappointed that we couldn't have a nice conversation in a quieter area. As for the food, I had he steak, which was delicious, but my husband would rate his pork tenderloin as average. We both agreed on the tasty praline basket for dessert. Would returnSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Essence without substanceasherVIPDined on 9/17/2014Gorgeous old mansion restoration. However, though upstairs room is beautifully appointed, setup is like a banquet hall. Food is uninspied, though waiter over sells it well. Wait staff is effusive. Service is poor. Waiter simply forgot us, eventually telling us that he intentional timed the meal in a slower fashion. Fortunately, our dinner didn't run into breakfast. Wonder if they set up cots next to the tables! Savannah has flavor, and I am sure there must be other places where the ambience is equivalent and the food and service better.
- AAAAAAAOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014Server JOSH AND OTHER EMPLOYEES ARE PROFESIONALS,THE COOK WAS FANTASTIC, WILL BE BACK, LIKE THE LAID BACK ATMOSPHERE WITH OUT THE LOUD MUSIC. THANK EVERYONE FOR A REALLY SPECIAL OCCASION. YA"LL DONE GOOD. KEITH AND SANDRA VICKERSSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/17/2014Our waiter was fabulous! He knew every ingredient on the menu. He was so energetic and not pushy. The fried Pork chop with gravy was my favorite! So good! Definitely a must if your coming to Savannah.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GVmamaDined on 9/16/2014Exceptional service, ambiance and of course the food. We heard about this historic home which has been a restaurant for many years from friends who told us that it was excellent. We were not disappointed. The grouper was excellent, as was the New York strip steak. The waiter was friendly, attentive and very informative. The maitre de stopped by our table just to chat during the meal, even though it was packed with every table busy. I would heartily recommend the Olde Pink House1Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly recommend for food and servfinconcoDined on 9/16/2014We had late reservations and arrived early. Were warmly greeted and able to obtain a lovely table and invited to tour the residence. Food was fabulous, beautifully plated and abundant, and service was superb. Will return many times and bring friends. A++ Amy was our server and she was delightful.Special Features:
- WonderfulFrequentdinerVIPDined on 9/16/2014Don't miss this gem and make sure you have a reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific Food and HistoryDining42Dined on 9/15/2014We had dinner here on our last night in Savannah. After trying several of the cities finest restaurants, this one was our favorite. One of the party requires a gluten free diet. The Olde Pink House offered the best options of any, including a praline basket dessert that was wonderful and worked for the gluten free need. The restaurant has 16 dining areas plus a downstairs level that offers music but each room is fairly small and intimate so you'd never know just how big it is. The waitstaff took the time to explain the history of the building to anyone interested in knowing more and they invited you to wander through to see all the interesting features at your leisure after your meal.Special Features:
- impressive!hapyexplorersDined on 9/15/2014We had a wonderful dinner and a great nite here. Beautiful historic surroundings and excellent service. The bar downstairs was a fun spot to finish our evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/15/2014The Olde Pink House Restaurant is perfect for that memorable special occasion dinner. The historic setting is charming, the service is outstanding, and the food is flavorful and exciting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderfultmm930Dined on 9/15/2014Everyone said you have to go the Olde Pink House in Savannah. They were right. The food, the service, the atmosphere were incredible. The staff encourages you to check out the 11 dining rooms. It was just beautiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/15/2014Heard so many good reviews about this restaurant and was really looking forward to eating here. Disappointing experience. Ordered the duck which was very dry, no amount of BBQ sauce could moisten it. Service was a little too attentive. I can say I've been there but would definitely not return.
- TemperatureOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/15/2014The maître d was exceptional. My friend and I were very cold only minutes after being seating. We spoke to the waitress who was excellent and friendly and she brought the maître d over his name was Q. Not only did he raise thermostat to a more comfortable temperature, but came back to see if it was ok!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014Food and Service were exceptional. Next time would ask for a smaller room. It was quite loud in the large dining room. Would prefer something more quiet and intimate.Special Features:
- Savannah GemOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/14/2014I cannot say enough about this restaurant. The staff, ambiance and food were outstanding. It is my new favorite restaurant!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/14/2014Scored flounder which I usually order is amazing but fried lobster was disappointing. Our Server was very nice and very helpful with wine and dinner selections, however, the service was too slow.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great service!WinesnobDined on 9/14/2014We travel to Savannah at least once a year, and we always eat at The Olde Pink House while we're there. It has great food, great staff, and a great story behind it. Enjoy!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/14/2014Worth trying if visiting Savannah. The old house is beautiful inside, the wait staff are friendly and attentive, and the food is delicious. Well worth the money!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great placeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014My husband and I loved the pink house. It was recommended by a friend . The food was excellent ! My husband thought it was the best steak he had ever had. Anjail was our waitress she was awesome. The prices were that of a nice restaurant but very well worth it . We paid more at a local chain crab shack and the food was horrible . The atmosphere was beautiful ! If we are ever in Savannah again we will definitely eat here and will recommend to our friends as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerAbigfoodieDined on 9/13/2014Thoroughly enjoyed the Pink House great history staff and food. I plan on returning there again soon!! Thank you do much for such a memorable experience!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic experience!JLegDined on 9/13/2014This is a true "fancy" dining experience in a historical home without the pretentious feel that we have had at similar restaurants. Jarvis greeted us an gave an overview of the home's history as he guided us thru the beautiful maze of hallways to the tavern below while we waited for our table. It was lovely with live music and a vibrant bar scene. When our table was ready, we were guided again to an absolutely wonderful table right by a window. It was a perfect choice, as I had asked for a private table for our anniversary celebration. Our waitress Maria, was a perfect example of superior service. She was energetic, professional and knowledgeable. The food was very good, especially the mac and cheese fritters.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Suprisingly disappointinglildevilDined on 9/13/2014I was visiting Savannah from FL to celebrate my birthday w/ 2 of my friends. Our reservation started off with a call back from the restaurant asking us if we would like to change our reservation of 8:15 pm, as they had overbooked. We arrived at the restaurant slightly before our reservation & we were seated 30 minutes later. Unfortunately, one of my friends meal was ruined because the kitchen does not know how to cook a steak with a "Medium" temperature. The first filet she received was rare, fatty & lackluster in taste. The 2nd filet, which was cooked by the head chef, again arrived rare. My friend decided not to pursue eating an entree, as we had long finished our meal. I could not in good conscious recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Great restaurant!StephandStretchVIPDined on 9/13/2014The food was fantastic; as was the service and ambiance. We dined in the master bedroom by candlelight. Make a reservation! It was super busy on the weekend. Also read about the history of the house while you wait on your food. You're free to tour the house before you leave.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014The service and experience at the Pink House were better than expected. My new wife and I were on our honeymoon and we had a very romantic and enjoyable experience with everything at the Pink House. We were seated in the basement bar in front of the fireplace and it was perfect for our first dinner out as newlyweds. We will definitely be back to visit this fine restaurant and we will be telling everyone that they need to visit the Pink House anytime they visit Savannah.Special Features:
- Upstairs DownstairsOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/13/2014Upon checking in for our reservation that was made far in advance, we were ushered to the downstairs bar and seated at a small (27in X 27in) table next to the bar. This was far different than the formal, linen covered table that we were expecting and that is prominently shown on the website. The bar was not a disappointment in itself, but just not what we were expecting. The bar was a neat find because it was very old and rustic and primarily lighted by candle; we almost expected some "redcoats" to come walking in. The food was great and so was the service. However, had this been a special occasion like an anniversary or the dinner where you propose to your fiancée, the unexpected change in ambiance could have been a problem.Special Features:
- True Savannah Dining ExperienceSavannahFoodieDined on 9/13/2014The Pink House is the perfect place to experience dining in a historic home that offers a traditional Savannah atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of up to date options. The food was well prepared and the service was wonderful. Great place for a couples night out, tourist experience, special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Lunch!bigmomma8Dined on 9/13/2014This was our first visit to this beautiful, old house. We drive up from Orlando almost monthly during the school year, and while dinner reservations are harder to get, lunch is readily available. We had a fabulous server, who gave us terrific descriptions of the unique dishes. The nachos were excellent, the signature Pink Lady cocktail was deliciously refreshing, and each one of us had a different, wonderful entree. Touring the house before leaving is encouraged, and our greeter turned out to be a very informative tour guide. His love of the house and its history is clearly evident as he showed off the place. I will definitely return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulHughesDined on 9/13/2014Superb dining experience! I loved the place and so did my friend, the decor was beautiful and the food delicious...service was excellent Melody took good care of us. Definitely return if we go to Savannah.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentSujuDined on 9/12/2014Food and service amazing. Excellent menu with great food. Good size portions. Wonderful atmosphere and service. It was a little pricey, but the exceptional service was worth the extra money. Would recommend as a must during a trip to savannah. Will definitely recommend to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved itlowboilDined on 9/12/2014My wife absolutely loved it. The building is very interesting and the food was delicious.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/12/2014A great dinner and one busy place on a Friday nightSpecial Features:
- Southern charm with amazing foodSKT2Dined on 9/12/2014One of the best restaurants in the southeast! Options for appetizers and entrees are wide ranging. We started out with the cheese board with fruit and honey comb. Delicious - and, by the way, save one of those hot southern biscuits so you can lather it with that local honey! I must admit that I had viewed the menu before my wife and I had dined and I thought I had decided on an entree selection - that was until I heard the nightly specials. I ended up selecting the jambalaya with soft shell crab and it was incredible. My wife settled on good ole southern comfort food of fried pork chop, Mac & cheese and collards. By the time we finished we were too full for dessert - my only disappointment. Perhaps when I'm back I'll save more room. Thanks!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never DisappointsBozOzlerDined on 9/12/2014Been here multiple times. First time we sat in the basement, however. Very intimate and historic feel. Mac and cheese bites for app was excellent. My filet-cut ribeye was fantastic. My wife was psyched to retry her BLT salad and lived up to the billing. We love going here when we're in Savannah. If I had a complaint, it would be my wish that the sides were a little more plentiful. They skimped big time on my greens and Yukon potatoes. Love this spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Communications interns have the opportunity to support ongoing media outreach efforts by assisting with news releases, template letters to the editor, news tracking and other public relations and marketing work, as well as with APHA's social media tools, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Work will also include local and national communications support for National Public Health Week and APHA's Get Ready campaign and blog writing for PublicHealthNewswire.org. Interns also work for APHA's monthly newspaper, The Nation's Health, by writing news stories for the monthly print issue of the newspaper or for its Web version, developing story ideas and attending press conferences and congressional hearings. Interns serve as reporters for the newspaper, gathering facts, following leads, conducting interviews and writing stories. The newspaper is run by journalism-trained staff with real-world experience, who will work with interns to improve writing and reporting skills.
APHA's Communications Department and The Nation's Health offer one internship per semester to a qualified student. Experience with deadlines and Associated Press/journalism style is a plus, as is prior writing and reporting experience and a willingness to learn. Opportunities for internships are available year-round and last for a three- to four-month period. To assure that the intern maximizes her or his experience, we require that students work a minimum of four days a week. All APHA internships are unpaid. Start and end times are negotiable.
At the end of the internship period, we hope the intern will have learned much about health communications. The intern will have produced numerous press releases, statements, news articles, blog posts and other materials that support communications efforts for the Association.

When Kerr County was formed in 1856, Brownsborough changed its name to Kerrville and became the county seat. The first Kerr County Courthouse was built in Kerrville in 1856. In 1860 the county seat moved to the town of Comfort, where a new courthouse was built in 1861. In 1862, when Comfort became a part of the newly formed Kendall County, the county seat was returned to Kerrville, where it has remained. Courthouses were built in Kerrville in 1876, 1886, and in 1926. The 1926 courthouse currently serves the county.

Loved our little apartment in the city!
My new husband and I just spent our honeymoon staying in this apartment, and loved every minute of it! It was minutes from everything - dining, shopping, groceries, Central Park, the subway, etc. It was THE perfect home base! We had all of the amenities necessary for our day-to-day, and it was handy having a fridge to store our left-overs and breakfast foods. The only things that would have made it perfect was if we got a quick tour of where to find everything in the apartment (had to hunt for cutlery and a couple other things), if the microwave worked (the stove was good though), and having blackout blinds for at night (I'm a light sleeper and the curtains let in a fair amount of light from the street. I'll be sure to pack a mask when we stay here next!) The apartment is also on the ground level, so there's not stairs to climb with heavy suitcases. I can't say enough good stuff! Thanks for making our honeymoon SO enjoyable!!!

By Dawn Krebs
ST. LUCIE COUNTY -- Hundreds of job seekers traveled to the Havert L. Fenn Center in Fort Pierce on Wednesday on April 17 for the Spring Job Fair.
By 11 a.m., the line for people getting into the fair snaked down the long hallway running next to the gymnasium, where the fair was being conducted.
"The turnout was fantastic," said Odaly Victorio, the communication coordinator for Workforce Solutions.
According to Ms. Victorio, more than 500 people were waiting for the event doors to open to be the first to take advantage of the 89 employers from St. Lucie, Indian River, Martin and Okeechobee counties who are waiting to talk to them.
A number of businesses from all over the Treasure Coast had representatives at the event, including the Fort Pierce Police Department, the city of Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie County, Indian River State College and the St. Lucie County School Board.
In addition to the employer booths, there were also two sessions to show potential employees how to write a successful resume and learning tips on having a successful interview.
Another job fair is planned for the fall, but for now, Ms. Victorio says all the employers have information on the Workforce Solutions website.
Workforce Solutions is a private, nonprofit organization that helps area businesses, job seekers and economic development.

Comparing Roger Clemens to Hall of Fame Pitchers
Andrew had some comments about the graphs on Freakonomics that showed a seemingly odd "change of fortune" for Roger Clemens.
You can see that Clemens almost followed an opposite pattern from all other pitchers in the league. As Andrew notes though, there seems to be a lot riding on the quadratic fit and average values when we know that Clemens has been anything but ordinary throughout his long career.
Graphing Without Smoothing
For fun, I tried graphing the ERA data for Clemens against the ERAs for the 16 most recent hall of fame pitchers (that I could get data for). My thinking was the hall-of-famer performances might be a better indicator of what should be "normal" for great pitchers. The results are a little less compelling. However, one thing to note is that most players who played past age 40 saw an increase in ERA while Clemens had a pretty significant improvement in ERA from age 40 to 43.
Whether this is due to performance enhancing drugs or just a change in pitching strategy, coaching, or some other factor, I can't say. There's probably only a few people who can know for sure.
Anyways, if anyone has a different take on the data, I'd love to hear it in the comments.
10 Comments
Is there some evidence to believe that no previous pitcher has taken performance enhancing drugs? ;)
You might try looking at walk to strikeout ratio, as that's the only statistic that the pitcher truly has control over. He may have had a less hitter-friendly park in Houston for his low ERA, may have had better defense behind him, or simply could have had outstanding luck that season.
@hadley: i guess not. i just didn't want a big, gray and non-interactive blobby.
@dave: One interesting note — Clemens' ERA improvement, that started at age 40, spans across play with the Yankees and the Astros. You do bring up a good point though, and strikeout ratio is definitely worth investigating. Maybe someone would like to give that a try.
I was talking with a baseball mad friend who loves Roger Clemens yesterday about this. We were discussing the "hall of fame" effect on his pitching in later years.
Given that all of his managers want him to get into the hall of fame they might pull him early if it looks like his stats will take a hit (no pun intended). Would this effect the numbers that much?
Clemens played fewer innings the past two seasons than any other season in his career, but could it be just because he's getting older and doesn't heal as quickly?
Clemens' inning counts were low lately because missed some starts in recent seasons for injuries, and last year he waited until after the season started to decide whether to play, and didn't even start pitching until June or so.
I saw an alternative analysis of Clemens' stats, which took into account walks, strikeouts, and home runs, either on the Freakonomics blog or on a page they cited. I can't find it now, because the blog isn't answering my browser.
Nathan: Can you provide the list of the 16 most recent HOF pitchers that you used for your comparison? If you have their baseball-databank IDs, that would be even better, but not necessary.
One thing to note is that the allegations of Clemens' steroid use go back to at least 1998, which covers some of the highest as well as the lowest ERAs of his career.
ERA is a flawed measure.
It measures defense and luck more than pitching skill, for one. It measures context as much as it does the pitcher. And it conveniently elides durability.
As an object lesson, take Carlton's last season (which baseball-reference has as age-43) in 1988. He got a grand 29 outs, more telling by far than his awful performance. Clemens's 2005, he essayed 634 outs, and put in his yeoman's effort in a half-run-per-game higher-ERA environment.
If you must use ERA, try b-r's ERA+ measure. 'Tain't perfect, but it isn't bad.
wcw, i think you're right about ERA being flawed, which is interesting, because ERA is so often quoted as if it were a performance measure. i wonder if it's just b/c it's easiest for the most people to understand.

By Ronnie DahlFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Rodney McCoy's co-workers told us that he would often sleep in an abandoned home next door to the car was where he worked. When he didn't show up Friday morning, they went there looking for him and discovered him dead."He washed cars and he was good at it," said Renaldo Vantrees.It was nearly a dozen years ago when Vantrees convinced McCoy to come work for him at the Wash Rack on Detroit's west side. He never thought the last time he would see his friend and co-worker would be Christmas Eve."His cousin said he was coming to pick him up Christmas Eve, and I thought that he was... with his people and that he would be alright for the holiday anyway," Vantrees said.Friday morning, the car washed reopened following the holiday.When McCoy didn't show up, they went looking for him. He had been staying in a house that had long been abandoned."He was sleeping on carpet insulation," said Vantrees. "He had a candle in there and his radio."Workers discovered the 55-year-old's body in a back room. There was blood in the house and Detroit Police are investigating, but its believed McCoy died from exposure to the cold weather elements.Employees at the car wash tried to help their friend, offering him food and warm boots. They tried to get him to go to a shelter, but he refused."I guess he [is] in a better place now," Vantrees said.The medical examiner will perform an autopsy to determine exactly how and when McCoy died.

ALBANY, N.Y. – Governor Andrew Cuomo is expected to make medical marijuana legal in New York State.
The issue of medical marijuana passed in the Assembly but failed in the Senate. Cuomo was previously opposed to medical marijuana, but plans to use his administrative powers and bypass the legislature and sign an executive order.
According to a report first published in the New York Times, Cuomo will announce his plans during the State of the State address Wednesday.
The Drug Policy Alliance said the governor plans to create an interim medical marijuana program involving 20 hospitals statewide. The selected hospitals will be allowed to distribute medical marijuana to patients who meet a list of qualifications.
Nancy Rivera is an advocate for Compassionate Care NY in Troy and has been battling cancer for 20 years.
Rivera is a survivor of breast, throat and colon cancer but the side effects of treatment remain. She believes medical marijuana may help.
"It would have helped me deal with the nausea and the dry heaving and the situations that cause me to have so much weight loss," she said.
Rivera said medical growers could make marijuana strains specific to certain symptoms unlike a street-quality drug.
"The oils work well," she said. "Other people need pain killers, and they would be able to benefit from the higher THC value."
Many New York residents are divided on the legalization of medical marijuana, but Rivera said legalization is the miracle she and the thousands of people she represents at Compassionate Care NY have been waiting for.
"I'll take it over the Valium and the Compazine and the Cisplatin that I took that put me in stage three kidney disease," she said.
Legalization of medical marijuana would make New York the 21st state to allow medicinal use of marijuana but will be more restrictive than other states such as California and Colorado.

Policy on Classroom Recording
Federal laws, including the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, require institutions of higher education to provide reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. Permission to make recordings of lectures and class discussions is a reasonable accommodation for many students with language-based learning disabilities, attention disorders, communication disorders, and significant difficulties with executive functions.
For the purposes of private academic study and review, Landmark College students may record class lectures and discussions using analog or digital technology, including audio, video, still photos, and other forms of capture technology as they become available.
Classroom faculty may record their own class lectures and discussions to serve various purposes at the discretion of the faculty member. These purposes include academic research (with Institutional Review Board approval), professional development, and digitization of course content for access through course websites and other formats.
All course materials (lectures, discussions, handouts, examinations, web materials) and the general, intellectual contents of each course at Landmark College are protected under federal copyright laws. The content of any recording of a lecture or class discussion is protected under federal copyright law and may not be published, quoted, or shared without the consent of the faculty member.
The College's Policy on Academic Freedom will prevail in all applications of the Recording policy. Classroom recordings created under the policy cannot be used by students for purposes other than as a tool to support personal study and review of course material for test preparation and similar, academic uses related to the course.
Students are required to inform faculty before recording class lectures and discussions for such personal, academic study and review. Faculty members are required to inform students when recording class lectures and activities that include student participation. If a faculty member records classes to support research activities, the faculty member must obtain informed consent from students before incorporating student-generated data in the research. (Faculty members and others wishing to conduct classroom-based research are required to adhere to protocols, set by the College's Institutional Review Board, that govern such research.)
Students and instructors making classroom recordings are responsible for keeping sensitive and personal materials private. Students and instructors may not publish, quote, or share classroom recordings in publicly accessible locations, and in real or digital (e.g., networked or on-line) environments, without the expressed consent of the individuals being recorded or affected by the recordings. Any violation of these requirements will be viewed by the College as a serious violation of the College's rules, and will result in College discipline and other remedies as appropriate. Students who wish to make recordings in class will be required to sign an acknowledgment that they understand and will comply with these requirements.
In cases for which students may be absent from classes, instructors should not be expected to provide students with a recording of the class meeting.
The syllabus for each course at the College must include a statement that students are allowed to record in the classroom for study and review. Course syllabi should also state that any student concerned about the creation of classroom recordings should speak with the instructor about the concerns at the outset of the course.

Help Me Find the Good Eats Corkscrew!
Good Questions
Q: I am looking for the cork puller that Alton Brown picks up at 7:58 in this episode of Good Eats — he demonstrates how to use it.
Does anyone know what brand it is and where to buy it?
Sent by Cara
Editor: The video that Cara is referring to is here:
• Good Eats S13E10P1 - Fermentation Nation
Cara, this is a Zyliss corkscrew — but it doesn't seem to be currently available.
• Zyliss Corkscrew With Foil Cutter - Not available, Amazon.
Readers, can you recommend another source, or an alternate corkscrew?
Related: How To Use a Waiter's Key Corkscrew
(Images: Screenshots via Food Network)
6 Comments
We have one that looks like that and I thought it was made by Zyliss. Alton Brown features Zyliss products a lot, so that makes sense, although when I search for it on Google, I can't find it. Maybe they changed their design?
If you can find one, they are especially great for getting broken corks out!
While it looks like a good corkscrew, I really love the double hinged waiter corkscrew for myself. They're small, cheap ($5 at TJ's) and extremely easy to use. Unlike a traditional waiter's corkscrew, it has two catches where you push against the bottle, so you get much better leverage. That eliminates the problem with the older style that Alton talks about. I would only upgrade to something like what's in the article if I was hosting a lot of parties and regularly needed to open 6 bottles of wine at once.
Oh, I remember that design! Basically, you just place it over the top of the bottle, and the worm works its way into the cork, the cork goes up the worm and out of the bottle.
In terms of function, the closest one is the OXO
or this Screwpull
I totally agree with louiedog. After opening about 3 bottles of wine with a double-hinged wine key, you are proficient.
I have easily opened over fifty bottles of wine in a week (I'm a bartender) and the double hinged wine key can't be beat for price or simplicity.
Tip: If a bottle has foil on top, the foil can almost always be removed by tugging it off with your hand. I would never do that if someone was purchasing a bottle of wine, but if you are at home or selling wine by the glass it really speeds things up. You also don't have to worry about any foil getting into the wine if you pull the collar off. And, you don't run the risk of breaking the top of the bottle, which can happen if you use some of the foil cutters out there.
I agree with louiedog and zaba. I used to be a server at a wine bar, and this was by far the best tool to use. Not to mention that it easily fits in your pocket.
I have one that is just like that from Tupperware, I'm pretty sure they still sell it on there site. Easy as pie to use!!

Great job dude!
Dis is teh PWN! I just love holding twin blades and slicing and sawing and hacking and killing and bashing and arrowing and--
But heck graphics 6 because everyone has a sqare base.
Square base characters are much easier to work with, many gameplay features would have either been impossible (or at least much harder to make) without them. Thanks for the good review.

This game is excellently made. Its obvious you put a lot of effort into it, and it came out really well. Can't figure out that lass boss though.

Absolutly on my favorite list
It shouldnt just be on mine either... it should be on EVERYBODIES! this is one of the best things to hit Newgrounds in a very....VERY long time. I didnt even find the tutorial that hard... I was RAPING those vampires. I was all GWAPOOWOWOWOW! And they were all WAAAAAAAAH!!!!.... it was cool... I honestly think you should make a series of games just like this. Just one question.... how do you kill the final boss, I tried fighting him that didn't work... I tried all the platforms that didn't work... and that's about all I tried... It is definatley a GREAT GAME! BRAVO!
Thanks a lot, really great to get reviews like this. I'd love to make a sequel one day. For the final boss you need to activate the center panel then attack him whilst he's on it, see croftstorm.net/buffywalk.php for more detail. Thanks again.

Alrighty! Finally ready to submit! (For the most part XD")
Well this has kinda taken me a...YEAR.. to do. Due to my lack of time and...laziness. I have always wanted to create an animated series with these characters. I've had them since I was about 12 ish? Some belong to YoshikoFuru of coarse
This I would say is my first real try at animating, and I defiantly learned A LOT. I now know tons of dues and don't s. I am still frustrated with a lot of this animation, I found is very difficult to find the right sound effects and soundtracks to go with this. That is something major I plan to work on, on ep 2... when ever I finish that.
I do wanna thank all the voice actors that participated in this! You gave life to the characters! Thank you ^//u//^
Also I know it may be confusing at the end... but it will become clear in ep 2. When it comes out.... so until then be confused XD""
But ha-whell... now ya get to watch another "Anime" series. Hope you like!
P.S Here is the dialogue for the middle section. I understand that the text may be to fast
We are humans that contain demon spirits within in our bodies. Everyone is fighting for control over KikenâEU¦ especially Gin. He has been trying to take over YuuâEUTMs third of the island and might prevail. Yuu, Gin, and Renki are the only leaders we have, we have to make sure that our forces are stronger. HeâEUTMs a sinister leader. He takes people who have been taken over by their âEUoeBirth DemonsâEU beyond there point of control. We canâEUTMt let Kiken be over run by the likes of him kai!
much time... we... "live" till about 21.We must protect Yuu! We must protect our territory!

What are your New Year's resolutions?
Last year, Sajeesh Ragavan posted this question at http://www.ted.com/profiles/933068
Now, having made it through the 21st of December, 2012, it seems like exactly the right time to post it again!
I've been inspired by Dr Mike Evans short video about how much more successful New Year's resolutions tend to be compared with making resolutions at other times of year. Just posted a TEDed and would welcome your thoughts and feedback: http://ed.ted.com/on/cu5IwKY6
Happy New Year!!!

Dec 28 2012: Hi Melissa,
I thought you didn't just mentioned Derek Sivers' Talk. I don't have much habits that need to be changed or improved. my goals are unlimited as I set them every day because everyday we encounter ourselves with new challanges and overcome these challanges are (and can be) goals too.
To answer your last question, I would simply say, I ask myself several questions (examening my goal) and if the majority of the answers are with YES, then I create paths to approuch my goal.
This kind of approuch is used by Roman Emperors... they built roads that led to conquer the world.
They didn-t build castles and stayed inside. They explored, they reached out to grap their goal,
Inspiration, Flexibility are the keys to achievement.

I can think of three reasons to visit the Hess winery up the hill west of Napa town. First, the ride to the winery is a welcome break from winery touring in the valley up and down Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail. Second, The world class art collection trumps everything else and everything else includes the historic stone building that is the winery and visitors center to the long wooden tasting bar. Third, the wines are very good. For Napa Valley where you should expect to pay $25 just about anywhere the $10 cost to taste is downright cheap. Reservations not needed. Just walk up and pay the tab. Hess wines are widely distributed so there is no need to pay top $$ for bottles at the winery. A very worthwhile ride.Hess Collection Winery Napa, CA
I know what you are thinking…Sterling? The winery with the tram ride? Go. Pay your way into the VIP room. You will taste the best wines Sterling has to offer which are very good. These include their reserve cabernets and the Red Carpet line poured at the Oscars. Keep your eyes open for the Diamond Mountain Ranch and Winery Lake labels. When you have quaffed your fill decline the offer to purchase at a 10% discount. Better you should test your negotiating skills at the bottom of the tram ride. Be sure to ask for older Diamond Mountain and Winery Lake vintages. Do not settle for less than 30% off. One more thing... the tram ride has some of the best vineyard views in the valley.Sterling Vineyards Calistoga, CA

COSTCO, Halifax, NS, does not provide a safe working enviroment for their employees!
** I did not write this **
COSTCO BAYERS LAKE, HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA ABUSE AN EMPLOYEE, ONLY COST IS MEMBERSHIP FEES…. Costco Wholesalers in Bayers Lake, Halifax, Nova Scotia seems to be allowing its members to take shots at its employees. The current event that took place was when a long time female employee was grabbed by a member and shaken so violently that it caused her to seek medical attention and she is off work with still undetermined injuries. This "Member" still holds his membership card that allows him to shop in any Costco store that he chooses. Another assault took place earlier this year when a male employee was assaulted by a "Member" exiting the store. This case is before the courts and within months the "Member" and long time employee will face a judge that will make a ruling on this case. Cases in the past have seen "Members" verbally abuse, physically abuse not only the employees but also members of management with little to no repercussions or banning of these so called "Members" in the stores. In both cases it is up to the employees to contact the RCMP to have charges laid and Costco will not get involved. They also must seek their own legal council, pay for this out of pocket and go through this with no support from their Costco employer. A number of "Members" stepped forward in this last assault and provided information so they could give the information to the law officials and did this because they knew it was wrong, not acceptable, and that an innocent person was abused in the work place. Even a member that was having lunch stepped forward and gave information so this so called "Member" could be apprehended by RCMP. I understand that companies do not disclose information or get involved in situations that involve legal action, but do they have the right to make sure that each and every person that enters their building or works for them is safe in the workplace. I assure you that if I was assaulted in the workplace that someone would need to answer to this not to mention pay for medical attention to the person that felt they could touch, not alone shake me or any other employee or person. Have we reached a point that we allow this to go on in our local business? Do we turn a blind eye to not only the people who work there but also the people who enter a local business? Do we sit in silence and just pretend that it did not happen and it will soon go away? This action is not tolerated, it never will be and it is not going to be, we all need to take a stand and let Costco know that in today's civilization it is just not ok to say nothing, by sitting silent we are just as guilty and the man that thought it was ok to reach out and shake a person because he felt he could. Did he think that his $63.25 membership allowed him to do this? it has to others in the past, with nothing being done about it. In closing, we the public have to act not only within the laws of the store, but the laws of the land. We need to act respectfully in and out of stores and with each other. We need to let Costco know that what they kept behind their closed doors is now wide open. We the public will not tolerate this today, tomorrow or ever. I would like you to forward this to everyone you know and let Costco know that this is a big deal and they need to make a stand. A workplace is somewhere one should never fear for their health or safety, even though the cost exceeds $63.25 and the employees health and safety is priceless. Well news update, Police do not want to lay charges on this gentleman as he has a very clean record and they do not want to taint it. can you imagine if you were assaulted by someone that had a clean record the people who you put in place to serve and protect you would do nothing on this because you have "Not been caught for doing anything " I am so upset with this decision. so people, it looks like something is going on here and I will keep you informed as more events unfold. Sad

Costco, Halifax, Nova Scotia, DOES NOT provide a safe working enviroment for their employees
Then to make matters worse, the HRM POLICE said they had more then enough evidence (my Moms statement and injuries, 2 other members who saw the assault and left their contact info for the police because they WANTED to give a statement, and multiple other employees who witnessed it) to press charges, all of a sudden changed their tune saying they didn't feel comfortable pressing charges under the circumstances, which is that the guy has no record. So there you go Halifax. No criminal record? Bad day?? GO ASSAULT SOMEONE!

Big brother canada is finally here!
So BB Canada premiered last night. Im a huge big brother fan and was very excited when I heard it was coming to Canada finally! And Im now kicking myself for not auditioning, oh well next year.
So here are my impressions so far:
I hate the theme music. It needs to be said. Its annoying.
Of course Im rooting for the east coasters, but one of my favorites is definitely Kat. I think she has a very good chance of winning this. An early prediction.
My least favorites? The girl who says her name all the time, boobs, tan and nerd. I want to like mama bear, but her laugh grates on my nerves. Like Rachels.
Im hoping Emmett doesn't go home tonight but I have a feeling he will… we'll see tonight! Well, Ill see tomorrow because I don't have cable lol

Centerstone of Tennessee, Inc.
(615) 463-6600
Centerstone of Tennessee, Inc. located in Nashville, Tennessee, is Tennessee's largest not-for-profit provider of community-based behavioral healthcare, offering a full range of mental health services, substance abuse treatment and related educational services, annually serving over 56,000 individuals and families across the state. Since 2004, Centerstone has been faithfully implementing the Matrix Model of Intensive Outpatient Treatment, serving 6 Tennessee counties, and making this evidence-based practice accessible in a high-need region of the state.
By 2004, methamphetamine had become "the most dangerous drug problem of small-town America", and Tennessee ranked 3rd in the nation for meth lab seizures; still in 2010, Tennessee is one of two states responsible for most meth lab seizures in the Southeast US. In 2004, Centerstone implemented a project called Methamphetamine Evidence-based Treatment and Healing (METH), which initially integrated the Matrix Model into Centerstone's services, a model that is now sustained as an element of the agency's care continuum.
Centerstone's Matrix Model implementation has consistently shown positive results for consumers, with the rigorous METH project evaluation producing the most, to-date, comprehensive results. By 6 months, treatment results showed a statistically significant 50% reduction in drug use scores. Staff also found a significant increase on the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) scores from intake to 6-month follow-up for program participants who: 1) did not use alcohol or illegal drugs, 2) had no past 30 days arrests, 3) were currently employed or attending school, and 4) who experienced no alcohol or illegal drug related health, behavioral, or social consequences. From baseline to 6- and 12-month follow-ups, all program clients reported statistically significant improvements in all 8 areas of physical and mental health domains.
Crosswinds Youth Services, Inc.
(321) 452-0800, ext 100
Located in Cocoa, Florida, Crosswind Youth Services has been dedicated to helping Brevard County's vulnerable youth and their families get the immediate services and support they need. Crosswinds' first program, the emergency shelter, opened in 1974 out of a local commitment to address the tragedy of children without a safe place to live. Since that time, Crosswinds has grown to provide 11 programs developed in response to some of the most serious issues facing the area's youth and their families.
Brief Strategic Family Therapy is an evidence-based intervention for adolescent populations, developed at the Center for Family Studies in the University of Miami. Brief Strategic Family Therapy™ (BSFT™) is a structured, problem-focused, directive, and practical approach to the treatment of conduct problems, associations with antisocial peers, early drug use and their accompanying maladaptive family interactions. BSFT™ successfully reduces behavior problems including substance use in adolescents and strengthens their families by providing families with the tools to overcome individual and family risk factors. Brief Strategic Family Therapy is conducted in approximately 12 - 16 weeks, depending on the severity of the problems. The clients served are from the Department of Juvenile Justice. The therapist reviews video with the team during weekly supervision. The family interactions are observed and rated to determine if the family system has been changed in a positive and permanent way.
The Crosswinds BSFT™ program began accepting clients in December, 2007. Since inception, this program has worked with 172 clients. 73% of these clients have been closed successfully. The benchmark is 70%. In order for a case to be deemed successful, the client's record is reviewed to ensure that no new charges have been filed, and a drug screen is administered to determine whether the substance using behaviors have ceased, or have been reduced. All successful cases are then reviewed at 6 months and one year intervals to determine if new charges were filed, or if there has been a violation of probation. During the 2008-2009 fiscal year 77.6% of all clients discharged were discharged successfully. The benchmark is 60% of successfully closed cases will not have a new adjudication.
Denver Juvenile and Family Justice Integrated TASC Project
(720) 913-4248
The Denver Juvenile Probation - Juvenile and Family Justice Integrated TASC Project (DJFJ TASC) with collaboration from the Denver Police Department, the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect, the Colorado State Court Administrator and the Denver Juvenile Court developed a pro-active approach designed to integrate prevention and treatment efforts for substance abusing parents and their children. The collaboration of these agencies and the realization of the overlap in families with involvement in multiple related agencies let to the creation of the Justice Initiative for Drug Endangered Families (JI-DEF).
JI-DEF seeks to identify drug endangered families and provide high quality care using evidence based prevention and treatment models, including Community Outreach Program Esperanza Model (COPE), the Matrix Model, Functional Family Therapy, Seeking Safety and Safe Care. JIDEF provides opportunities for parental substance recovery, the prevention of child maltreatment, and reduction of child welfare involvement and out of home placement when appropriate through a highly aggressive initiative recognizing that all systems play an overlapping role in supporting children and families while keeping the community safe.
Short term outcomes resulting from the implementation of these interventions include; increased identification and early intervention for drug endangered children, prevention and/or reduction of child welfare involvement, decreased out of home placement, increased parental engagement & retention, decreased parental substance, and lowered criminal recidivism. Interim long term outcomes are increased availability and effectiveness of methamphetamine treatment programming within Denver, alleviation of the strain of methamphetamine addiction on the city's court, human service, child welfare and law enforcement systems, and the return of participating families to positions of recovery and strength.
New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services
(518) 485-2317
The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), based in Albany, New York, oversees one of the nation's largest addiction services systems, serving 110,000 New Yorkers on any given day. In 2008, New York became the first state to implement regulations that prohibit tobacco use in all 1,550 certified prevention, treatment and recovery programs.
Every provider must assess each client for tobacco dependence, integrate assessment findings into the client's treatment plan and provide nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) as indicated. Additional EBP's used include motivational interviewing (MI) to resolve client ambivalence and engage the client in becoming tobacco free and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to assist in developing tobacco free coping skills.
Compliance is assessed during program recertification reviews to ensure that there is a written tobacco-free policy and procedure for clients, staff, and visitors. This policy must include communication, staff training, verification that the treatment of tobacco is integrated into the context of treating all other addictive disorders and a plan to address relapse. Since 2008, tobacco free program compliance has steadily increased to 91 percent. Moreover, system-wide admissions have not decreased and OASAS data indicates that 23,000 clients are no longer using tobacco upon discharge.
Old Pueblo Community Services and the Center for Applied Behavioral Health Policy
(520) 546-0122
This project is this result of a partnership between Old Pueblo Community Services, a non-profit organization with over twelve years of experience providing transitional housing and outpatient treatment services for homeless persons in Tucson, Arizona, and the Center for Applied Behavioral Health Policy, a research center at Arizona State University's College of Human Services. From 2004-2009 the CSC Project served 575 clients, primarily individuals being released from Arizona jails and prisons, in a structured, 90-day, transitional housing and treatment program. This program included interventions based on Motivational Interviewing (MI), the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA), and Contingency Management (CM), all of which were selected due to their proven track record of improving outcomes in substance abuse treatment.
Six months post discharge clients experienced an increase in employment (42% to 82%) wages ($315 to $1222), and stability in housing (1.9% to 42.3%) along with sustained abstinence (12%) and a 40% reduction in consequences due to alcohol and drug use. In addition, clients increased their average length of participation in the program from 54 days to 90 days.
In addition to outcome data, fidelity data were collected and analyzed across all three interventions. The process for ensuring implementation encompassed multiple approaches including; the uses and adherence to a standardized manual, training, review of client data, and recoding of incentives provided. In addition, to help ensure fidelity across the programs and attend to programmatic processes, biannual focus groups were held. Participants provided feedback on their experience, and made suggestions that would help shape policy and enhance client experience.
Synergy, Addiction Research & Treatment Services (ARTS), University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine
(303) 761-6703
Addiction Research & Treatment Services (ARTS) is a comprehensive addictions and behavioral health treatment provider within the Division of Substance Dependence, Department of Psychiatry, University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine. Based in Denver, Colorado, the mission of ARTS is to improve the life and productivity of individuals and families affected by substance abuse, dependence and co-occurring mental health disorders through the application of scientifically supported prevention, education and treatment services. ARTS offers an array of residential and outpatient treatment services that are grounded in promising and evidence-based practices and closely monitored for fidelity of implementation .Synergy is the continuum of treatment services within ARTS for adolescents and their families.
The data for youths in Denver reveal a significant substance abuse problem for young people. Based on this need, Synergy decided to focus on Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) with adolescents and their families, integrated with the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) plus vouchers for some of their clients. MST is a multidimensional intervention that aims to decrease adolescent antisocial behavior and substance abuse, and to improve functioning within the family and community. It is a cost-effective, sustainable family-oriented intervention that is implemented in non-residential settings; therapy generally is provided in the client's home or other community settings
Measurements of fidelity are taken regularly using the MST Institute Enhanced Web site; Synergy has been implemented consistently with high average or above scores. Based on an assessment of 636 clients served from 2002 through 2008, 13.9% were identified as clearly unsuccessful in their outcomes, 74.9% had no legal recidivism while in MST treatment, and 58.3% of all clients and 78.8% of those who completed the program had no substance use during the last 30 days of treatment. A follow-up evaluation interviewed 460 clients (66.1% of the total sample), finding that 67.8% of these clients had sustained their successful discharge status.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures closed lower Tuesday, after a choppy session, with some strength in the dollar pressuring prices as concerns over the U.S. fiscal cliff and the euro-zone debt crisis kept investors on edge. Gold for December GCZ2, +0.00% delivery fell $6.10, or 0.4%, to settle at $1,724.80 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. "We see a risk on/off cycle developing as no one knows exactly what to expect with the ensuing [U.S.] fiscal cliff deadline," said Jason Rotman, president of Lido Isle Advisors, a Newport Beach, Calif.-based alternative investment firm. "As we have previously noted, we believe gold is strongly supported below $1,700." December palladium PAZ2, +0.00% jumped 4.7% and January platinum plj3 added 1.3% after a Johnson Matthey report forecast supply deficits for both metals this year.
