Debate yields new By David Hill Signpost campus affairs editor Candidates for the ASWSU executive offices could barely be heard over the crowd of students gathered in the Gallery of the Shepherd Union Building Tuesday morning. The candidates came to debate top issues concerning students at Weber State University, but the appetite of the crowd for food and casual conversation took overwhelming precedence.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

We are pleased to announce our partnership with the IRS and the VITA Program. We are authoring a pilot program between the IRS and the VA at the VA Northport, NY, medical facility. Stand by for times and locations in 2014.
Through the IRS' VITA program, you can take advantage of one of the options below that fits you best-with the easiest being to click through on the MyFreeTaxes link below.
1. Going to a VITA site allows you to have face-to-face tax preparation with an IRS-certified volunteer or you can use the self preparation service where you prepare and file your own tax return with access to an IRS-certified volunteer if you have questions. VITA sites are generally located at community and neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls, and other convenient locations. To find a VITA location near you that offers the do-it-yourself option (self preparation) or face-to-face tax preparation, go to Find a Location for Free Tax Prep.
2. If you are the type of person that is interested in free on-line tax preparation without going to a VITA site, you have several choices to prepare taxes for free from home, work, or anywhere with access to the internet. Software companies make their products available through public-private partnerships with the IRS. Free federal tax preparation and e-file options are available for all taxpayers. However, each participating company sets its own eligibility requirements and not all taxpayers will qualify for all companies. Review all the choices at IRS FreeFile and MyFreeTaxes.
EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT IS FREE MONEY! For tax year 2012, a worker with no children who made less than $13,980 can receive up to $475. Single parents with three or more children who made less than $45,060 are eligible for $5,891. Married couples must file taxes jointly. Couples earning less than $19,190 qualify for a credit of $475. Those couples with three or more children qualify for $5,891 if they made less than $50,270. The IRS estimates that more than 26 million citizens received over $60 billion in federal, refundable credits in 2011.
Please press the MYFREETAXES.COM link BELOW to go to the website to prepare your 2013 Tax returns FOR FREE if you qualify! If you like how it works please drop us a line. If it is a problem, also let us know...
Our mission is simple – rebuild our US economy by connecting the dots for veterans and families before they are discharged from active service until they are reintegrated back into society as a productive family with stability, financial security, and an affordable home.

Is society as a whole in an infant, adolescent, or maturing adult stage? Explain and relate to history and current global issues.
As individuals we move through the various stages of life growing in physical, mental, social, and spiritual capacities. Infants, for example, are the centers of their own universe. Adolescents "try on" different lifestyles. Maturing adults move past self-centeredness to help others. Where are we as a society in 2013? Please related your answer to history and current global issues. Thank you.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Aug 1 2013: Late adolescence. We still think we're invincible, can't plan ahead very well, and still use force as communication. But we've shown some glimmers of hope.
The signs of hope are things like the UN, Wikipedia, our collective response to tragedies, and attempts at democracy.
Most people are mostly cooperative most of the time. And we've created (sometimes cruel, sometimes supportive) systems to deal with the outliers. But we have a built-in biological limitation in our brains. We evolved to live with the hundred or so members of our little local tribe, and to think a generation or two forward in time. Beyond that, most populations, numbers and time scales get very theoretical.
Because of that, we may always be bad at planning for our great-grandchildren, and we may always see leaders simply as the top warriors of tribes of 150 people.
Aug 1 2013: Thank you Sandy. Your assessment has great merit. Your anthropological and social insights are quite perceptive. Let me ask you to comment on one aspect of your thought - your last paragraph. Do you see any possibility that we could make a quantum leap forward as the result of some major event, widespread awareness, tragedy, etc? Could, for example, a mass spiritual awakening fundamentally change how we relate to one another? Thank you again.
Aug 1 2013: Wow, I would love to think so. This may be a bit off topic, but I study reincarnation, and an idea I think worth spreading is that we are all souls who have come to Earth and temporarily forgotten our true nature. When we're "home" between incarnations (Heaven if you like), we are much less fearful, we see the big picture, and we can be much more empathetic towards others.
If you look at the literature on near death experience, it is almost universal that people who have glimpsed their true nature come back with a profound sense of peace, connectedness, and compassion. You see similar feelings from the thousands of people who have had a past life regression therapy sessions.
Yes, it is possible. But I think it requires tapping into that higher self, and I'm not sure how to do it on a mass scale...

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Deep, rich black cherry, raspberry and mocha aromas and flavors linger beautifully across a long, focused finish. Refined, well-integrated tannins add to the
wine's polish and grace.
"Washington has clearly staked a claim for making some of the New World's best Syrahs. But in this price range? This is a great place to start your explorations. It's almost pure varietal, dark and tight and spicy. Young and still backward, it rewards breathing time with pure blackberry and black cherry fruits, black olive, coffee grounds and a lick of licorice. Seamless, muscular and layered, this wine definitely wants some breathing time."

Wine Enthusiast
"Novelty Hill wines have performed well to date, and this deep, weighty, very well-focused effort keeps the winery's string of successes fully in tact. From its complex aromas of ripe berries, woodsy spice, and smoke, to its layered, like-minded flavors, it exhibits a sense of refinement uncommon for a wine of its size and never lets ripeness dictate terms. Its tannins, while not out of bounds, are enough to warn off immediate drinking, and we would opt for another four or five years in the cellar."

Summer Undergraduate Internship Program
The ICPSR summer internship program provides undergraduate students with a unique and expansive research experience that introduces all aspects of social science research and includes supported exploration of a research query from start to finish, data management training, and focused methodological education in quantitative research. This prepares interns for capstone or senior thesis projects, graduate school, and/or research-based employment opportunities. The students, under the supervision of faculty mentors, develop a research question, perform a literature search and review, complete data analysis, and report findings in a poster; learn good data management processes and research practices with a research process mentor; and attend classes at the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods.
Additionally, regularly planned luncheon meetings focus on research projects within ICPSR/ISR, ethics in research and data management, and life in graduate school or in a research career obtainable with a Bachelor's degree in the social sciences. In the last week of the internship, the students display their work in a poster session for all faculty and staff. They leave ICPSR with a poster and abstract suitable for submission into a local/regional social science professional organization meeting of their choosing.
The internship program is excellent preparation for advanced studies and careers in data science and social science research.
Internship Structure
Interns spend 10 weeks from mid-June through mid-August at ICPSR (Ann Arbor, Michigan), during which they will:
- Work in small groups and with faculty mentors to complete research projects resulting in conference-ready posters
- Gain experience using statistical programs such as SAS, SPSS, and Stata to check data, working in both UNIX and Windows environments
- Select and attend graduate-level courses in the Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research
- Participate in a weekly Lunch and Lecture series that covers topics related to social science
How to Apply
The following documents are required for a complete application:
- A cover letter or letter of interest

"Are you a Problem Solver or Power Seeker?".... a question that was raised during a recent visit to Washington, D.C.
Cindy Boggs is an American Council on Exercise-certified fitness professional, corporate wellness presenter and author of the award winning book, CindySays… "You Can Find Health in Your Hectic World." Send inquiries/comments to email@example.com.
The New Year is here and statistics tell us that at least 40 percent of us made a New Year's resolution. Making commitments toward better health is an admirable way to start a year; however, only about 8 percent of us actually achieve them.
One of the biggest reasons we don't succeed is that we hate the pain associated with physical activity. It's called DOMS, short for delayed onset muscle soreness. Delayed is the key word here because all the muscle soreness and stiffness sneaks up on us 24 to 48 hours after the workout is over. No fair, right? Of course there are a few who are rewarded and spurred on by the discomfort — most though, just walk away.
It goes something like this:
Monday morning you're pumped and determined to hit the weights hard. The now-or-never mindset is fully engaged, even though you haven't done a single pushup or squat in 348 days. By the way — the average lifespan of a resolution is 17 days so everything's adding up.
You finish an impressive workout that drenches your body in sweat and pride and as you shower, you can't wait to do it all again on Wednesday.
Wednesday morning you reach for the alarm clock and recoil in severe pain cursing the paper your resolutions were written on.
How in the world can you be this sore? It takes you 15 minutes to crawl out of bed as every muscle fiber screams in retaliation of Monday's stellar effort.
Resolve to give yourself a chance
Although some muscular discomfort and stiffness, or DOMS, is quite normal, especially if you have been inactive for a while, it is not necessary to experience intense pain for more than a couple days.
If, however, your workout was too enthusiastic for your own good, you are going to have the kind of pain that sidelines you and makes you want to never be active again.
So it's OK to have DOMS?
Yes, it is OK to have some discomfort. This is the result of microscopic tears in the connective tissue around your muscle following eccentric exercise and is your body adapting. It does sneak up on you 24 to 48 hours after activity but should decline after 72 hours.
This adaption process actually makes your stronger and the good news is that once you become consistently active, you shouldn't experience that sensation again until the intensity is increased. Keep in mind that even conditioned individuals will feel the effects of DOMS when they either exercise in an unfamiliar way, or increase the intensity, frequency or duration of their workout.
If you have been a little overzealous in your attempt at getting back into shape, here are a few treatment options. While some of these can reduce the amount of inflammation, the best treatment is prevention.
R — Rest. Take a break from intense activity
I — Ice the affected areas
C — Compression, such as an ace wrap
E — Elevate affected area above the heart
Preparing the body with a thorough warm-up, which raises the muscle temperature and increases the elasticity of muscle tissue, is vital to reducing discomfort and improving athletic performance. Also, following a 10 percent rule — a progressive approach to exercise that increases intensity and duration and amount of weight lifted in increments of no more than10 percent per week — seems to be one of the best ways to prevent extreme pain and stiffness.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs — NSAIDSs — continue to have mixed reviews as to their effectiveness in alleviating the pain of DOMS. Following your workout, always cool-down — actively recover — with low-intensity movement.

Each year Portland Opera To Go takes an opera on the road, sharing the power of opera, music, and theater with schools and communities throughout Oregon and SW Washington. It's not necessarily the easiest thing in the world, as you might imagine. But it's one of the most rewarding . . . for us and for the thousands upon thousands of students who get to experience live opera, many for the first time.
And this blog will give you a first-hand view from the performers themselves of what it's like when Opera hits the road!
Here's a link to more information on the tour and the program.
Hello there residents of cyber space! Sarastro, 'aka' Kevin Bertin here to sign off on our first week out of the gate, the week of January 14 – 18.
After two weeks of intense rehearsal making sure that our 45-minute take on Mozart's ever-so popular singspiel was primped, primed, and ready to go, we were super excited to see how our young audience would receive it.
Our first stop was at Lauren Middle School, a school not too far from Portland proper. Right out of the gate we were faced with small obstacles that warranted us not using all of our set due to lack of space. This venue required us to be on a stage which sat very low, therefore the 12 small boxes which provide the foundation for our beautiful storybook were left in the Penske (a small detail that made no difference to our eager middle school audience.) Regardless of this tiny conundrum, it was a smash hit! A smash I say, due to the thunderous rounds of "bravi tutti" uttered again and again by our pre-pubescent audience.
Tuesday corresponded with a hectic day at two different schools about 45 miles apart, followed by a gracious 11:00am call time for our St. Thomas More School performance on Wednesday afternoon. The space was beautiful and provided a rather "wet" acoustic, which was a saving grace since I was not feeling astonishingly resonant that day (hehe). After another great performance we loaded up, and headed back to the opera center. En route, hungry struck and Tamino, Papagena, the 3rd Lady and I, devised a plan for delicious eats at Portland's famous Pok Pok! Vietnamese spicy chicken wings – mm mm good!

NORFOLK--Military commissaries all around the world and in Hampton Roads will soon be closed on Mondays as a result of sequestration-related furloughs, according to the Defense Commissary Agency.
The once-a-week shutdowns will be for up to 11 days between July 8 and September 30.
At the Naval Station Norfolk Commissary Friday, the news was greeted with a sense of resignation from shoppers.
"I like commissaries, they have a really good selection for the good prices," said Don Owens. "It's going to be a little bit of an impact, but you know, we're going to get through. There's plenty of other grocery stores for the small items we need."
In all, this affects 247 stores worldwide, with more than 16,000 employees.
The furloughs will impact all of the Defense Commissary Agency's 14,000 U.S. civilian employees.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WTAQ) - Three more youngsters in Sheboygan have come down with tuberculosis, after a similar case was confirmed last month.
Officials say all four are in the family. Three of them attend Sheboygan South High School, and the other goes to a middle school.
Sheboygan County health officer Dale Hippensteel says the county has 8 active cases of TB infections – and they're all from the same extended family.
TB can be life-threatening if it goes untreated. It can be coughing, sneezing, or even talking.
Officials tested about two dozen students who go to class with the first infected youngster – and all those kids were all negative. Officials say they plan to test students who take at least two courses a day with the newly-infected students.
The eight TB cases are an unusually high number for Sheboygan County. They normally get three cases or less each year.

A word from THE Steakhouse at Circus Circus - Las Vegas
The Steak House has recently been named Top Las Vegas Steak House by Zagat. The Steak House has been thrilling diners with it's top grade meats served by a friendly, gracious staff for over 29 years. The Steak House also features a glass enclosed dry aging locker. Top grade Midwestern beef is aged for 21 days at 37 degrees Fahrenheit & 85 percent relative humidity. This process tenderizes the meat & gives it a distinct flavor, which is further enhanced by preparing the beef over an open-hearth mesquite charcoal broiler. Once inside the dining room, you will feel right at home. Rural-themed paintings adorn the green walls. The room is rich with dark woods, diamond tufted red leather booths, creating a cozy den-like ambience. Dinners include fresh baked breads, choice of our famous black bean soup or house salad plus a Chef's fresh vegetable & choice of garlic mashed potato, baked potato, or wild rice blend.Continued

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014My wife and I had dinner for our 20th anniversary (1989) at the Steakhouse and decided to go back for our 45th this past weekend. The food was exceptional along with the service and it will not take another 25years before we return. Thank you for making this special occasion very enjoyable.Special Features:
- Second visit in a rowJonnoh64VIPDined on 9/19/2014This is now a must do while visiting Las Vegas. I had another exceptional steak and the service was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- well worth the waitOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Missed the restaurant last time in Vegas. Glad we got there this time. Excellent! !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- we loved itFatherDaughterDined on 9/19/2014My daughter and I went here based on the reviews and were not disappointed. I had the Filet large and it was LARGE and perfect. My daughter had Salmon. The portions are generous.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Every year!BruceVIPDined on 9/17/2014We come to Vegas at least once a year and always eat at the Steak House at Circus Circus! Steak us great and priced the same as Morton's and the other high end Vegas places, but your salad, potato and vegetable comes with it instead of a la carte. Great food and service and priced fairlyI would recommend this to a friend.
- pghzooladyDined on 9/17/2014This place is better than any steakhouse on the Vegas strip. Service was fabulous and the food was beyond outstanding. I think some people may shy away from the Steakhouse because it is located in Circus Circus. Please, don't let that stop you. This place is a hidden gem!Special Features:
- Great Vegas Steakhouse Experience!bs093070VIPDined on 9/16/2014This is my third time to the Circus Circus Steakhouse. Every time I go I have a terrific experience. For this meal, I ordered the large filet - I asked for a little pink and it was cooked perfectly! The garlic mashed potatoes are an excellent side. They have a really good selections of desserts too. It's a strange place for a nice steakhouse, but it's a find!Special Features:
- The steakhouse circus circusOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/16/2014The atmosphere was awesome dark and intimate. The service was great they were very attentive and laid back. The food was good, simple menu but cooked perfectly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good food.FrankieTRDined on 9/14/2014Chose this restaurant due to recommendations on Trip Advisor. Very happy with our meal. The sevice was very good as well!Special Features:
- Food qualityPinoyboy007Dined on 9/13/2014I've been going to this restaurant for years, and it's always been great and one of my favorite; till now. The steak seems like it got smaller, they over cooked my rib eye steak. Very disappointed! I don't think, I'll be coming back anytime soon. The quality is not the same.Special Features:
- DisappointingdinerDined on 9/13/2014As locals, THE Steakhouse has been a b-day destination for yrs. This yr so disappointing, we won't be back. One party is a vegetarian and yes we understand it's a steakhouse but also a b-day tradition so we don't expect much accomodation. Last year was stellar service/dining, when informed about the veg status, server told us not to worry, the chef would handle it. Along with steak, we were presented with a HUGE, lovely plate w/EVERY a la carte veggie. When the bill came, the plate was comped! We were surprised and grateful. This yr, we were flatly informed we could have a potato and asparagus. Server was blah, inattentive, interrupted us to ask if we'd be paying by credit, very rude. Steak was poorly cooked. Mgr was blase at our exit also
- Great EverythingCraigCDined on 9/13/2014Old school experience - great steak house and overall restaurant - highly recommendSpecial Features:
- Amazing experience!TheOneDined on 9/12/2014This is definitely a hidden gem! Would have not expected such top notch service! Felix was our server, he was very knowledgeable and his service was outstanding. I would definitely come back visit soon!Special Features:
- Excellent as alwaysBigdog782VIPDined on 9/10/2014I visit Vegas every few years in order to see whats new. I NEVER miss going to THE Steakhouse! Consistently excellent food, a decent wine list at reasonable prices and top notch service. It also looks like the company is updating the Circus Circus Casino, its wasn't quite the dump I remembered from a few years ago. But seriously, if you're a foodie like me then this is a "real" restaurant in a town that has an excessive amount of over-hyped, underwhelming restaurants, this is the real deal. The prices are reasonable (by Vegas standards) and the food does not take a backseat to any of the better known strip restaurants.Special Features:
- the complete experienceSCDinerDined on 9/10/2014Great reception, kind & attentive service; incredible food (garlic shrimp appetizer, petite (8 oz) filet mignon, creme brulee). As others have mentioned, this is definitely a hidden gem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Vegas institutionVegasLocalinVegasDined on 9/10/2014After 13 years living here I finally tried THE Steakhouse inside Circus Circus. Now I'm a bit of a foodie and have been to my share of high-end and super-high-end restaurants, so I couldn't help but compare. First off, you will not be disappointed! The steaks were cooked over an intense wood-fired grill (which you can see as you walk in), the service was exquisite and the decor is beautiful, dark wood paneling, soft lighting and old books and paintings. LOVED it! As high-end places go, the prices were quite reasonable, especially compared to other steakhouses where you must pay for the steak, sides and salad separately, here it's all included. I will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Big SurpriseNoblemonDined on 9/9/2014We were given this recommendation by friends and were not disappointed. From the beginning, everything was done right, and as you'd expect. Our waiter Mitch was able and helpful, and the food was delicious. We've paid more, but have not had as great a meal as we had at THE Steak House. It's definitely on our go back list.Special Features:
- Pleasantly SurprisedLadyDy333Dined on 9/9/2014We were staying at the KOA Circus Circus for the first time and wanted to go to a nice dinner close by. Although The Circus Circus is a little ruff inside The Steak House is not. We loved our whole experience there. Great service, food and ambience!Special Features:
- AmazingVegasloverDined on 9/8/2014Always a must stop on my trips to vegas. Took a friend for their first time to steakhouse. He loves steak and said it was the best he ever had. There are steakhouses that charge more but none better. Large portions and cooked perfectly. Service was a 10. Always there when needed but not hovering around to rush you. Most of the waiters have been there for years. People look at me funny when I tell them it is inside Circus Circus. I usually stay at MGM or Mirage, but this place is worth the taxi fare for a great meal. I have eaten at so called famous chef restaurants on the strip that don't hold a candle to this place.Special Features:
- Very DisappointingLVFoodieDined on 9/8/2014I had heard a lot of good things about THE Steakhouse so I was looking forward to dining there. First, the restaurant itself is threadbare and the decor hasn't been updated in decades. Second, the service is slow and generally impolite. Third, the selection is extremely limited with almost no appetizers. I ordered the bone in ribeye which is $55 so u was expecting a lot. About thirty minutes later the waiter showed up with one of the worst steaks I have ever encountered. The steak was filled with hard grizzle and devoid of flavor. I don't know where they found a ribeye that bland and tough. After about another thirty minutes I was able to get the waiters attention that I couldn't eat the steak. Overall, a miserable place.
- Spectacular, again!DespayreDined on 9/7/2014If I could just get through it with room for dessert... I've been there 5-6 times this year, and it's just the best steak I've had, every time. I can literally push my knife across the steak and have it sink through it... paired with a nice bottle of Berenger Knight's Valley, the petite fillet is just fantastic. I hear the rest of the menu is good too, but until they make my steak less-than-perfect, I may never know! :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RodLovefoodDined on 9/6/2014The food is always great as well as the service. We recommend this to all our friends and family. We have been coming here for more than 20 years.Special Features:
- very pleasantly surprisedlvtomsterDined on 9/6/2014I'm am normally not enthralled with steak joints. Boring, boring, boring. But my meal here was very delicious without the silly pomp of the typical steak joints (which rarely deliver on food quality). The ambiance cannot be beat for being placed in such a garish casino. I highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 6 star service and 6 star steak!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/5/2014Richie and Ron made the night! Far exceeded even high expectations after reading all the great reviews. Classic steakhouse with classic feel, and genuine great service. I don't write reviews, but I feel the need to here. Don't come here if you need a scene, come here if you want a phenomenal steak with really quality servers. We celebrated our anniversary and they made it even more special. Thanks again guys. I will be back again
- Excellent!Marie77Dined on 9/5/2014I love authentic old style steakhouses. This one did not disappoint! I had the petite filet and my husband had the rib eye. From the basket of bread to the delicious and tender steak, our meals were without fault. I will make a point to dine here on all future trips to Vegas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BIGCITYDined on 9/4/2014This restaurant has the best steak in Vegas and at much better pricing ( not ala carte ). The open kitchen makes for a unique dining experience.Special Features:
- wow!EspoDined on 9/2/2014I am so glad I decided to follow my friend's advice and go here. From the moment you walk in the restaurant you can smell the steaks cooking. And they taste every bit as good as they smelled! It is old school - dimly lit/lots of wood but I like that! I would gladly go back to this place when I am in town!Special Features:
- Best steak ever!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/1/2014Been going to Vegas for many years. The Steak House is a must on our to-do every time. Wouldn't miss it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and serviceDavyDined on 8/31/2014The steaks were perfect and the service was really great!! A touch on the dark side but over all the meal and service is what counts and that was Awesome!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great steakAandVDined on 8/30/2014My boyfriend And I ate here for the first time the other night for our 2 year anniversary. Food was excellent. His portorhluse steak was absolutely succulent and the oysters we have as appetizers were so fresh. Definitely would go here again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!Kwaltz72Dined on 8/29/2014A wonderful meal including amazing service and delicious food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mixed FeelingspookiesauntVIPDined on 8/28/2014Ate here with friends for Restaurant Week. While the meat itself was universally acknowledged as amazing, the rest of the meal -- salads, sides and dessert cart items -- had nothing to distinguish themselves and did not live up to the high bar of the steak itself. Coupled with the garish and inconvenient aspects of the hotel itself, not sure if there will be an encore in our future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Grand but obsoleteCassDined on 8/28/2014I remember visiting Circus Circus Steakhouse 15 years ago and thinking it was out of this world. This week I got exactly the same steak, wine and service... but cuisine has moved on and cuisine in Vegas is now a totally different market. Look if you want a hunk of aged meat seared til it's black this is still great steak. But if you want the kind of subtle flavours and great tastes that you should now be getting for $150 per person then this place now looks completely out of date. Sorry but it's had it's time and has not moved on. Overall: disappointing.Special Features:
- most learn how to cook steaklittledisappointedVIPDined on 8/28/2014this is called THE Steakhouse; i had the worst porterhouse of my life, what more can i say. this is not a knock on the front, service, manager, bar, ambiance (although it is in Circus Circus..yuch). My wife ordered salmon, rare, which was just fine (if they can cook fish why not steak); it is a 50's timewarp restaurant. no glitz or glam here but do have red booths. now, THE STEAK...asked for very rare...came out medium well to well...ok, can make a mistake; sent back, then came out barely on the grill and ICE cold through out. No taste, NO flavor, and too tired to send back for a third time..get me out of here..this is a steakhouse..and if i wanted a cold steak i would have BLEU, a la francaise, which is not what i would have asked for. bad
- Best Steak House in Las Vegasjames64Dined on 8/28/2014The Steakhouse at Circus Circus is the best in town, it's prices are also the most reasonable on the strip. The steaks are the best you will find anywhere. The Steak house has been there for 30 plus years and still maintains it's Old Las Vegas Strip décor. The service is tops and it is always a pleasure to eat there and introduce to diners, who have missed this gem.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great restaurantlovegrtdining1Dined on 8/25/2014Hidden gem.. loved everything about it but the steak was superb. Would highly recommend. .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/25/2014Excellent filet mignon. The lobster was just a little crispy at the end, but the rest of the food was great. The wait staff and host were welcoming and very friendly. This was my third visit and it won't be my last. The elegant setting and great food are never out of style. I made a note on my reservation about my friend's birthday and they wished her a happy birthday and made her feel special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Circus Circus secret1jtbaldwonDined on 8/24/2014The most compelling reason to stay at Circus circus. This sets the bar for all steak houses. Sadly most can't match the excellence that this restaurant seems to do effortlessly. The whole experience is outstanding. Every evening that I am in Las Vegas I treat myself and my lady friend to dinner at The Steakhouse at Circus Circus. I have been doing this for decades and have never been dissapointed.Special Features:
- Good not greatLikegoodfoodDined on 8/24/2014The service was excellent. The steak was good, just not great. It did not meet our expectations as some of the reviews stated how great it was.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014This restaurant was recommended to us and it exceeded our expectations! The service and food was fantastic! We were lucky enough to be there during restaurant week which allowed us to partake in some great specials. We would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone that is looking for a great dinner at 1/2 the strip prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I've seen all sides of it now. Parenting, coaching, officiating, managing. I've done it and loved almost all if it. For those who've just entered the minor sports arena for the first time (and for the veterans who need a reminder) I've assembled a list of the worst mistakes sports parents make.
1) Not shutting up.
This one is so crucial we need to break it into four categories.
If I were still refereeing (and I have no desire to return), I would give one warning to parents. Then I would stop the game until the offending parent leaves.
99.9% of the time the referee is trying his/her best. It's fun to win but, really, does the result of the game/match really matter so much that you'd rage at another person like that? Would you do that anywhere else for any reason? Just remember, that medal, plaque or trophy you wanted so badly will very shortly be forgotten, stuck in a closet gathering dust.
This whole sports experience is meant to build a child's development and confidence. Confident kids become confident successful adults, who make great decisions. Don't take that away because they didn't play a game well in their childhood. If they make a mess of a play, it's not a reflection on you.
Be careful of the big laughs too. Let's say a child misses an easy goal on an empty net. A parent makes a joke like, "Hey Dave, that's how you used to play." The joke was only directed at Dave. Dave is an adult who can take it. However, the child only heard the big laughs right after his mistake and thinks all the adults are laughing at him.
Cheer your head off. Way to go! Good job! Good try! Applaud when an injured player gets up. That'll do nicely.
1d) Standing too close to parents on the other team
Inevitably, you will hear a yahoo parent from the other club ignoring the advice listed above. My best advice is, stay as far away as possible so you can't even hear them. Nothing makes your blood boil faster than an opposing team's parent who verbally attacks players or parents on your team. This happened in Tweed at a Bantam C hockey game in March. BANTAM C!
2) Not respecting the coach and his/her decisions.
The good news is, the next team down has great kids and parents too. Remember most of these sports relationships are fleeting anyway. Ask any parent whose child graduates from club sports. How many sports parents that they saw almost every day do they actually stay in touch with now? Not many. The best friendships will endure no matter what.
But for now, you're upset. Don't email the coach or leave angry voice mails. You might say hurtful things you'd never say in person. Give it 24 hours then talk to the coach in person.
Once you respectfully chat face to face, you might understand. Even if you don't agree with it, you'll probably come away thinking, "Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. I guess I sort of understand. I guess he hasn't really got it in for my child after all." As with referees, verbal abuse of the coach will never improve your child's situation. Be sure to ask what the child needs to work on for next year.
Once you're on your team, it's the same rule. If you have a problem, cool off for a day then approach the coach in person. Don't share your complaints with other parents. That just gets everyone worked up. I've seen teams become so toxic like this. One parent complains to another that the coach failed to do something. By the time this info reaches the 12th parent on the team, the information has morphed into - "Hey, I heard the coach is a serial killer."
Obviously, if your coach's behaviour is truly over the line (sometimes coaches go wild too), you need to discuss this with the appropriate director of your association.
Just think about how loudly you'd complain if your child's elementary school cancelled summer break. You need to give your child some down time from their sport to recover, mentally and physically. You hear stories of burnout all the time.
That said, I understand that AAA players cannot shut down for 5-6 months a year anymore and expect to stay on the top team. I wish they could. But a couple of months of down time won't hinder development. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Speaking of absences (and this primarily affects summer sports), if you know your child will be on holiday for 8 weeks during the season, why did you have them tryout for a competitive team, displacing another child who really wanted to make and commit to the team? Family time obviously and definitely comes first but it's a bit selfish to tryout for a team you don't have time for.
Now, after thinking about that, how in the world can you be angry because it didn't go well at soccer tonight? WHO BLEEPING CARES? Embrace them and savour every moment.

According to a league source, the Timberwolves have asked the NBA to look into whether Portland knowingly traded them an injured player when the Blazers dealt Martell Webster to Minnesota for the 16th overall pick in last summer's draft. Webster on Monday underwent surgery to repair a disk in his back and is expected to miss about six weeks. He said the injury dates to last spring's playoffs, when he was undercut and fell hard in a game against Phoenix. The Wolves are likely looking for a draft pick as compensation.

additionally ... i think the t-wolves became confused when they heard what Webster said. reports are that upon hearing Websters words, the t-wolves front office looked at each other in confusion and asked in unison: "what are playoffs?"
yep, that's right; Kass bringing some humor!

....what a hoot......... :/
What about comletley cutting a player due to an injury, yea it may not seem wrong, pity its not you though right?
I think that webster was wronged when he was traded from here. But my homie, and now i am starting to see it, thinks that Twolves are going to dominate.. The points in the paint, the points between those 3 bigs, with webster chillin out on the 3pt line, then that makes him an accessory.ha. Twolves dont need him, but i dissagree with the "damaged goods"
But Minn is just gonna run with it, an honestly if they offer up a few draft picks, CHO will give em the whole damn team.
Cho could play this season, with a team full of future draft picks, if he had his way. ha.
What portland should do, is Offer up some guys to try and snag one of those bigs, Beasley would be the best one we could get, he could age with the rest of the team, but Darko and Love are both smiles as well.

What are you talking about?
What do you care more about, presonal preference of type of players? or Youre team's success?
I mean not every player can be an
Oxford or Cambridge graduate?
Beasley could easily boost this teams rating to like #8 at least. I mean if it were up to you, like you personally, would you keep two broken down, beat up centers, that you honestly dont know if one of them will ever get better, or would you rather have a player that can play multiple big positions, score in a number of methods, who has the hands of a PG?
Really, you dont have to be an Oxford Grad to know the correct answer to that :D

(WMC-TV) - Big things are on tap along Memphis' most famous street. The new year will bring big new changes to Beale Street.
New managers plan to make the short-term transition as seamless as possible. People who visit Beale Street to eat, drink, or enjoy music probably will not even notice when someone else takes charge.
The Downtown Memphis Commission will start managing Beale as soon as 2014 begins.
"Well, it'll be a change in management, but hopefully you won't see a lot of changes," said Paul Morris with the Downtown Memphis Commission.
The commission will initially oversee the street at Mayor A C Wharton's request.
"We're trying to hold the fort and keep the street running the way it is while the city figures out what to do long term," said Morris.
John Elkington, who became developer and manager of Beale Street, is leaving after more than 30 years.
A federal court settlement cedes control from Elkington's company, Performa Entertainment, to the city.
"John Elkington was doing a good job so far as I was concerned, because the street was full of people," said Beale Street business owner Jerome Burt.
Burt is uncertain about the changes, but he hopes the best for himself and the city of Memphis.
Morris believes one of the city's biggest assets is secure, and plans to retain many existing operations personnel. Although, that does not mean there will not be a few road blocks.
"This is a 24-hour operation that requires a lot of attention and management, and it's going to be a big challenge to transition from Performa to the city," said Morris.
Beale Street Merchants Association President Ty Agee says the Bluff City will hit a turning point with the official end of the Beale Street lawsuit Wednesday.
"With them being able to resolve everything, we can move forward. We can get to marketing the street," he said. "We don't get any state dollars; we don't get any city dollars. I think maybe some money will free up that way and a maybe they can market us."
He points out the entertainment district is the safest in the city and the goal there would be to improve upon what Memphis police are already doing.
Beale was recently voted "most iconic American street" in USA Today. Part of Morris's short-term plan is try and market it again to Memphians not just tourists.

Two nights of one-act plays by contemporary Latin American playwrights
Suffolk University SOULS and the Latinas Unidos de Massachusetts present Latin American Theatre Night:
Wednesday, December 1, 2010 at 5:30pm
"Old" Everett High School Auditorium
548 Broadway Street
Everett, MA
Tuesday, December 7, 2010 at 6:30pm and 8pm
Studio Theatre
41 Temple Street, 4th floor
Suffolk University
The production is directed by Iani Moreno, Suffolk's assistant professor of Humanities & Modern Languages, and features three one-act plays by contemporary Latin American playwrights Jorge Díaz, Diana Raznovich, and Carlos Canales.
Díaz's play El cepilla de dientes (The Toothbrush), is a light-hearted comedy about a husband and wife who must invent games to cope living with one another. Casa Matriz by Raznovich is an acclaimed work about an agency that lets its clients spend time with the "substitute mothers" of their choice. The final play, El Generalisimo Brujillo, by Canales, examines the life of ex-dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina, who ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961.
All three of the plays will be presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
Sufolk students featured in the play are members of Moreno's class SPAN 428 "From Script to Performance: Latin American Theatre and Society/A Service Learning Course."
A discussion and reception will follow the performances.
Admission is free and open to the public.

Starcraft Retribution is an expansion pack for Starcraft: Brood War, which contains over 120 new multiplayer maps, and a large single-player campaign.
Brood War is the expansion to the best-selling pc-game of 1998, Starcraft. Brood War expands on the original game with unit additions for each race as well as a new campaign that continues the story of the original game.
StarCraft has been called the greatest real-time strategy game ever and it's certainly one of the most critically acclaimed. StarCraft features three powerful, yet balanced races: the Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss. You play as each race fights to the death for the fate of the universe.
Legacy of the Void is the third and final expansion pack for StarCraft II. It follows the blueprint of the other two parts of StarCraft II but this time focuses on the Protoss and the mysterious Xel'Naga.
StarCraft: Ghost was supposed to be a third person stealth action shooter that took place within the StarCraft Universe. The game went through a lengthy development cycle with many release date delays, eventually being announced as "on hold" in March 2006, but it's generally assumed to be cancelled.

As of Saturday, August 25, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
I was amazed and delighted at how many columns about the arts in Gwinnett I had fall into my lap over the last few months. Not only did I get to write about the art scene in our county, but through responses to my columns, I also connected with several more artists who will be the subject of future columns. And, through my column, several artists connected with each other. My research even provided me an opportunity to reconnect with the Post's Art Beat columnist, Holley Calmes, whom I had the pleasure of meeting last year when we were both writing about the Gwinnett Ballet's "Nutcracker."
So now, what just fell into my lap is Gwinnett Library's "Fall into the Arts" program, giving everyone the opportunity to experience the arts.
First up are two nationally known authors to help celebrate 2012 Gwinnett Reads. On Sept. 29, children's author Carmen Deedy will present her book "Return of the Library Dragon" at the Lawrenceville Branch. Then on Oct. 7, Natasha Trethewey, a Pulitzer Prize winner and Poet Laureate of the United States, will take the stage at Georgia Gwinnett College.
To add some drama to the celebration, on Oct. 11 the New Dawn Theater in Duluth will present "The Caine Mutiny Court Martial," directed by Sherry Inbritsen.
And now, the really "arty" part: The "Chair-ish the Arts @ Your Library" contest in which everyone — individuals, groups and organizations — gets to be an artist. All you need is a chair and your imagination. Take your chair and paint it, cut it, stamp it, drill it, do whatever you want to enhance it. You can even include your company logo.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking: The only chairs I have, I paid a fortune for. Or inherited from my great-grandmother. Or lent to my son for his dorm room.
No problem, because here's where the real fun comes in. Just go to any of the charity thrift shops we have around the county: St. Vincent de Paul in Buford, Duluth and Lilburn, Quinn House in Lawrenceville, Lily's Cloak in Lilburn, ReStore in Lawrenceville, Atlanta Mission Thrift Store and Hands of Christ, both in Duluth. And don't forget Goodwill and Salvation Army.
They have all kinds of chairs, all cast-offs, just sitting around waiting to be re-imagined into a new life. And while you're there, be sure to look around at all the clothing, jewelry, toys, shoes, books, tools, knickknacks, etc. you can use to decorate your new creation. It won't cost you much money, and every cent you spend at any of these stores will go toward helping people in need. Everyone wins.
And who knows, you might discover you are so good at this that Steve Slotin will have to create a whole new category for you in his next Folk Art Festival!

This makes me think of the decorated bulldog statues that were all over Athens a few years back. There was something similar in Atlanta too, but I can't remember what it was.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes says he will take a tour of Detroit to get a personal view of the condition of the city.
In court Thursday, Rhodes said the details of the three-hour trip will be kept confidential for security reasons and he will meet with members of the U.S. Marshals before the tour. During the hearing Rhodes also ruled Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette will not have to testify about an opinion he wrote about property at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Rhodes also ruled that city of Detroit retirees' hardships would not be taken into account during the restructuring plan confirmation trial. The ruling stops an attempt by bond insurer Syncora to access the personal financial information of pensioners.
