The University of Chicago encourages students to make a difference in their communities. In commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a documentarian will stand where King once stood to drive that message home.
"Some people take the past for granted and don't digest the meaning. It's important for all of us to know that everyone can make a difference," said Eden Sabala, assistant to the dean for arts and events management, at the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel.
Civil Rights activist and documentarian Judy Richardson will engage in a conversation with Professor Charles Payne at 6 p.m. Thursday in remembrance of the Civil Rights Movement and its progress today.
Richardson is best known for her work in the 14-hour PBS documentary "Eyes on the Prize." The documentary highlights the African-American Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. from the murder of 15-year-old Chicago resident Emmett Till in 1955 to the election of Chicago's first black mayor, Harold Washington, in 1983.
Her most recent documentary is "Scarred Justice," which focuses on a massacre of students in 1968 in Orangeburg, S.C.
An estimated 650 to 700 people are expected to attend the ceremony, Sabala said. Every year the audience is drawn from beyond the university, and Sabala said the chapel has become a hub for the South Side.
The chapel, she said, does not invite just anyone to speak. In 2002 Barack Obama was the keynote speaker.
"There is a presence about the speakers that resonates with the audience and inspires them to make a difference," Sabala said.
Between 1956 and 1966, King spoke at the university's campus three times, twice at the chapel.
"The place where we sit is a place where a person of extraordinary insight and leadership has stood," said Dr. William McDade, deputy provost for research and minority issues at the university.
King was an iconic figure who galvanized the nation through several campaigns, chief of which resulted in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Others included the integration of Little Rock High School and the University of Mississippi. King, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, would have turned 84 on Tuesday. The holiday celebrating his birth is Monday.
The university demonstrates King's message by having the first African-American woman to earn a Ph.D., the first minority scholarship program at a business school and the first gay liberation organization in Chicago.
To truly honor King, McDade said, one must not remember his message but rather live it: "We must strive to keep his image and ideals alive because in the end that is what will make us a better society."

MOSS POINT, Mississippi - It was an anonymous tip to Moss Point Lt. Mark Meiselbach that led to the capture of escaped Mississippi Department of Corrections inmate Richard Glen Maples on Monday, Chief Keith Davis said.
Maples, 22, was serving a 7-year sentence for convictions of burglary of a residence, vehicle burglary, identity theft and credit card fraud from Jones County when he escaped from the Pike County Community Work Center on Saturday night.
He now faces an additional 5 year sentence if convicted of escape.
MDOC alerted local authorities that Maples was possibly headed to the Moss Point area in a stolen vehicle.
Meiselbach received an anonymous tip from an informant Monday that told him Maples was near the Shular Inn on Miss. 63, Davis said.
"Lt. Meiselbach, along with other Moss Point police officers, responded to the Shular Inn, where they spotted Maples entering the passenger side of a vehicle," Davis said.
The officers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle at Miss. 63 near Grierson Road.
"At that point, inmate Maples exited the vehicle and began running into a wooded area, with officers pursuing him on foot," Davis said. "The driver of the vehicle stayed in the vehicle and did not attempt to elude the police."
Ocean Springs officers and MDOC investigators, who were in Jackson County searching for Maples, responded to the scene and set up a perimeter around Maples.
A Moss Point K-9 unit was also called in, and Maples surrendered to police a short time later.
Maples was transported to the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Rankin County, Davis said, and additional charges could come from MDOC for the driver of the vehicle.

Winging it
By AARON MANAGHAN
Sports editor
If it hadnt been for an injured rotator cuff, Rustin Wingers sports days might have ended after the Central Kitsap senior graduates this year.
When I would try to do baseball-related things, my shoulder would dislocate, Winger said.
As a result, hes been a force on Central Kitsaps cross country and track and field teams as a distance runner, parlaying his high school running career into a collegiate scholarship, as Winger signed his letter of intent last Wednesday to run for Seattle University.
Its really cool, said Winger, the son of Russ and Diane Winger. Its great to go to school for college. Running will help the cost and I still get to run. Its great.
A baseball player until his injuries got the best of him as a freshman, Winger got into running through friends.
One of my friends did track, he said. Originally I was going to be a sprinter. But then another one of my friends got me into distance running.
Winger, who took 12th in the 800-meter run at last years West Central District postseason meet, also runs the 1,600 and 3,200 races as well as cross country in the fall. This fall, Winger advanced to the state cross country meet with his team.
While the rotator cuff injury ended his baseball days, he was more than happy to run through the door that opened.
I was good at baseball, but was never really going anywhere with it, he said. Its kind of cool. That injury got me somewhere. It was a blessing in disguise.
Seattle University was an easy decision for Winger, who had narrowed it down between Seattle and Western Washington University.
Its small, he said referring to the campus. And I really like the Northwest. I love it. Ill live here the rest of my life. I love Seattle. Its cool living here and knowing Seattles just a boat ride away.
The CK harrier is excited to take his game to the next level.
Im totally ready, Winger said. They did a great job (preparing me). Coach (John) Emery got me where I was in cross country. Coach (Mark) Ward, even though this is the first time Ill have him directly coaching me, hes been a great support. I feel like Im ready to go on to the bigger level.
But he knows he still has unfinished business this year too.
Its a big season, Winger said. Hopefully I can get a school record in the 800. Thats my goal. Its also a good opportunity to show the coaches even more.
State also is a goal for his high school finale.
I just need to post some strong times, he said.
Winger, who added the 800 last year in addition to the longer races, will train more for speed this season, having already built up lots of endurance through cross country and distance running.
Im training with coach Ward this year, working more on speed, he said. Everything about it is different.
But its a challenge Emery said Winger is ready for, as evidenced by his college signing.
Its great that Rustin is going on. Thats fantastic, Emery said. Im just proud of him. Im proud of him being able to succeed and have the opportunity to compete at the collegiate level.
With college signings usually focused on football, basketball or soccer, Winger said it was nice to show prospective athletes that hard work running can pay similar dividends.
Thats why is was cool, he said. People were like, Ive never really been to a signing for a distance runner.
With the paperwork out of the way, Winger is looking forward to showing what he can do for one more season.
Im glad to have it done, he said of the signing. I dont really have to worry about it anymore.
Because he didnt get into the sport until he was already in high school, Winger never envisioned it would take him so far.
Not at all, he said. When I was a sophomore, I hadnt really developed into a runner yet. I never thought Id be able to go to state or anything.
Its cool to know I got something on my own feet.

Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC2323-16, a dual, 16-bit, 5 Msps simultaneous sampling, successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with flexible differential inputs. The LTC2323-16 supports a wide input common-mode range and simplifies system-level design by relaxing the signal conditioning requirements to drive the ADC with a wide range of analog signals up to Nyquist frequencies.
The LTC2323-16 leads a family of 16-, 14- and 12-bit SAR ADCs, featuring sample rates of 5 Msps and 2 Msps while achieving 81 dB SNR at 16 bits, 80 dB SNR at 14 bits, and 73 dB SNR at 12 bits. The 14- and 12-bit versions feature sign-plus magnitude transfer functions, making them ideally suited for control-loop applications. The LTC2323 family integrates a precision bandgap reference with low drift and guaranteed 20 ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient into a small 20 mm² QFN-28 package. The devices can be powered from a 3.3 V or 5 V supply and consume just 55 mW with a 3.3 V supply and 80 mW with a 5 V supply. The high-speed SPI-compatible CMOS or LVDS serial interface is ideal for highly-integrated high-speed systems.
The LTC2323-16 is available today in commercial, industrial, and automotive (-40°C to 125°C) temperature grades.

LAMBERTVILLE — Upgrades to the Municipal Utilities Authority's outdated plant equipment and electrical system are nearing completion. The $7.3 million project, which will allow the plant to meet criteria for the treated sewage it releases, minimize odors and maximize its energy efficiency, was celebrated by officials last weekend.
The improvements were spurred by an administrative consent order issued by the state Department of Environmental Protection in 2009, Executive Director Tom Horn said.
"We were having problems with what we were discharging to the river," he said of the plant's difficulty to meet standards for the treated sewage.
The authority replaced the primary and secondary sludge pumps and sludge transfer pumps, but the lion's share of the improvements included replacing eight rotating biological contactors used for the treatment process and the magnesium hydroxide feed system for odor and process control, he said.
In addition to new conduit wires and controls that replace a portion of the plant's electrical system dating back to the 1950s, Horn said a new system was installed that will better control and monitor the plant's process.
The new equipment will minimize the odors emanating from the plant in the south part of the city, he said.
"It's not going to totally eliminate odors, but it will help to minimize them," he said, adding that the authority is trying to reduce the frequency and length of odor occurrences.
The plant will be more efficient and cost-effective, Horn said.
Among its green efforts are the use of wastewater as a heating and cooling source for the authority's administrative building and the recycling of treated wastewater for vehicle washing and sewer jetting, he said.
Funding for the project came from the state Department of Environmental Protection's Environmental Infrastructure Trust Fund, but about $3.5 million of the loan was forgiven through the federal economic stimulus program, Horn said.
The final phase of the project involves replacing the odor control unit for the plant's biosolids holding tank and upgrading the aerobic digester tanks to improve the solid handling in the future, he said.

Dell's UltraSharp 2007WFP monitor is a great choice for those after an all around PC monitor for day-to-day usage.
Dell's 2007WFP is a 20in widescreen LCD monitor that offers good image quality at an affordable price, making it a good choice for everyday PC users.
In DisplayMate, which runs a variety of colour charts and test screens to help reveal any flaws that a monitor might have, the 2007WFP passed every test almost flawlessly. Its contrast levels were good with great distinction between colours on the intensity ramps, blacks were equally impressive and colours were rendered richly and accurately.
Edges were clean and sharp with no colour bleeding or blurring and our moire patterns showed no signs of image noise. There was an extremely faint rippling that we could sometimes detect on plain grey screens, but it wasn't noticeable unless we were looking for it and were sitting extremely close to the screen. There was also a very minor uniformity issue along the top and bottom of the screen, with those edges appearing slightly darker than the rest of the display, but again, this was an insignificant problem. Overall, the 2007WFP impressed us thoroughly in these tests and it's a perfect choice for regular PC users.
We also ran our DVD copy of Swordfish to check how well this model handles fast-paced material. Here it wasn't quite as impressive. There was a minor amount of ghosting evident, and colours were slightly warm. There is a multimedia preset, which helped fix these issues to some degree, but they were still present. For occasional movie-watching or gaming, the 2007WFP will be fine, but its strength clearly lies in displaying standard PC applications so users who want a screen primarily for gaming and watching movies may wish to look elsewhere.
Aside from the multimedia mode there is also a games option, along with the default PC desktop configuration. Users can also change the brightness, width, sharpness and adjust the quantity of each of the three primary colours. Picture-in-picture is also available using one of the secondary connections.
Speaking of connections, the monitor is well-stocked in this area. Many options are available, including DVI (which is HDCP compliant), D-Sub, S-Video and even Composite. Furthermore, there are four USB 2.0 ports scattered around the unit as well as a fitting for a Kensington lock, which can come in handy if the screen is to be used in an area where security is a concern.
Aesthetically, the 2007WFP is quite smooth. Unlike previous Dell monitors, which have been plain black, this model has a silver top and bottom, which looks quite good and adds a touch more class to the design. The buttons run along the front right-hand corner and are easy to operate. Meanwhile, the monitor can be swivelled horizontally and rotated vertically on the stand, but it can't be height-adjusted.
All up, Dell's 2007WFP monitor is a great choice for those after an all around PC monitor for day-to-day usage.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Here's a few tidbits to chew over today since there won't be any baseball tonight in New York.
(You can check out the Rangers, though. They play in Vancouver at 10 p.m. and it'll be on MSG and 1050AM. You can get the game story, when it wraps up, here on SILive.com later tonight.)
- CC Sabathia has pitched 36 1/3 innings this postseason, setting a new Yankees record. Andy Pettitte was the previous record-holder after tossing 34 1/3 innings back in the 2003 postseason.
- The Yankees, who held a 3-1 lead in the series prior to Monday night's loss, have won the World Series each of the eight times they've been up three games to one.
- If the Yankees win the World Series, they'll be the first team to do so while employing a three-man rotation since the Minnesota Twins won it all in 1991 with Jack Morris, Kevin Tapani and Scott Erickson. Interestingly, Erickson started twice in the series but never got a win. The only other team to make it to the Fall Classic with a three-man rotation was the '92 Braves with Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz.
- A.J. Burnett, who gave up four runs in the fourth inning of Game 5 of the World Series, has given up seven first-inning runs in the postseason. The seven first-inning runs is one shy of the Major League record, which is held, dubiously, by Jaret Wright (Cleveland, 1998), Daryl Kile (St. Louis, 2000) and Scott Kazmir (Tampa Bay, 2008). Burnett, who was pitching on three days' rest, only gave up nine first-inning runs in 33 starts during the regular season.
- Phillies second baseman Chase Utley tied a World Series record with his fourth and fifth homers in Game 5 of the World Series. Who does he share the distinction with? Yankee legend Reggie Jackson.
- Wednesday night's starter for the Phillies, Pedro Martinez, is 1-1 in elimination games. Martinez has appeared in three games where his team was faced with elimination (2003 ALDS, Game 5; 2003 ALCS Game 7; 2004 ALCS Game 7) and has a 5.87 ERA in those appearances.
- Pettitte, who will be pitching on three days' rest Wednesday night, is 3-1 with a 2.88 ERA in five postseason starts on short rest. He's also 5-4 all-time in playoff games where he can eliminate an opponent. In the 11 starts in closeout games, the lefty has a 3.73 ERA.

Attention all Toyota Sienna Swagger Wagon fans: don't get too excited, but the Swagger Wagon rapping Dad will make an appearance at the SEMA show on November 2 to debut the Swagger Wagon Supreme.
Toyota made the announcement today on its Twitter feed, adding that there will be "more to share soon." The original video helped draw attention to the 2011 Sienna SE sport van and continues to attract viewers online.
We've heard Dodge is preparing a "man van" version of the Grand Caravan. The Sienna SE already has a body kit and upsized wheels like any potential Dodge man van; now it appears SEMA might host Toyota's debut of new modifications and accessories for the Sienna.
What do you think the Swagger Wagon Supreme is?

Bellevue artist Lillian Yeh, a former Federal Way employee, dies in moped crash
Lillian Yeh, a Bellevue resident and former City of Federal Way employee, died in a moped accident while vacationing with her family in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
While riding a moped on April 13, Yeh crashed into the right rear side of a truck, according to Tribuna de la Bahía, a Spanish-language newspaper. Although she had been wearing a helmet, Yeh fell into a coma and died the next day from head trauma. She was 48. Yeh's husband, Joe Welch, and son, David Welch, were with her in Mexico.
Yeh worked for the City of Federal Way for about five years in economic development and tourism promotion. She left the city when her position was cut at the end of 2010. Patrick Doherty, director of economic development, translated information from the Mexican newspaper for this report. He had hired Yeh and praised her work in the Federal Way business community.
"She was a good representative for the city," said Doherty, noting that Yeh was one of the central forces in the creation of the Buds and Blooms Festival. "She was very hard working and enthusiastic. … We've never been able to fill her shoes."
According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure Puget Sound, Yeh joined Komen Puget Sound in September as an advocacy intern, and was instrumental in organizing the proclamations of Breast Cancer Awareness Month among local county governments. She also helped coordinate January's Advocacy Day in Olympia.
Yeh was also an accomplished artist who specialized in watercolors. According to the "about the artist" section on her website lillianyehart.com, she wrote: "There is no greater pleasure for me to translate what I see in nature onto paper using beautiful watercolors. … I try to create pieces that capture the essence of the subject, so that the viewer will fall in love upon every viewing."

|[TowerTalk] Effect of feedline on apparent resonance

Yes, that's exactly why I said "apparent resonance." I have an MFJ259B, and have used it to check the VF. It comes in right at .72. The cable is made for the Wireman, and their other specs appear to be very close to standard RG-8X, except that they use a polyethylene dielectric and a tougher jacket. I've pretty well satisfied myself, though fiddling with TLW, that what I need to do is trim the cable enough so that its reactance as an open stub is the same as that of the original Belden. At that point its resistance will also be very close, so within the limits of my ability to measure things I should be back where I was.

China Mobile began taking preorders for iPhones on Dec. 25. Its smaller rivals, China Telecom and China Unicom, have had access to the iPhone for years.
The anonymous source said:
Shipping one million or more iPhones to a single carrier per month is substantial. But we have limited visibility beyond this month as Apple hasn't informed Foxconn of the volume for the next shipment to China Mobile.China Mobile has 760 million customers.
There were technical reasons for the delay, but there may have been other reasons as well. As opposed to China Mobile's homegrown 3G technology (TD-CDMA), China Telecom and China Unicom used more standard 3G tech, with China Unicom offering iPhones since 2009 and China Telecom since 2012.
Analysts have predicted that the China Mobile deal will help Apple sell an additional 10 to 30 million iPhones in 2014. However, a recent report from Wedge Partners said initial indications were that iPhone demand at China Mobile is more tepid than anticipated. This may be because China Mobile is months behind its rivals in terms of a 5s launch. It may also be because there so are many choices for consumers.
Gartner analyst Sandy Shen said:
We have seen fading enthusiasm for iPhones compared with the past few years as we have more choices in China now. There has been no dramatic change to the iPhone and consumers want a larger screen size.In the third quarter of 2014, Canalys said that Samsung had the top market share in China, with 21 percent, followed by Lenovo's 13 percent, and two Chinese companies, Yulong and Huawei. Apple was relegated to fifth position with a Chinese market share of 6 percent.
However, Shen added,
Shipping one million or more iPhones to China Mobile every month would be significant to Apple as its average monthly iPhone sales in China is only about two million.


text: Adam La Rosa reports his Canyon Runner fleet has been doing very well catching large medium bluefin tuna about 30 miles off Oregon Inlet, N.C. Most of those are running from 150 to as high as 450 pounds. Their fleet got out Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. The A-Salt Weapon fought 11 tuna Tuesday and released seven of them. The action has been by trolling and some popping, but jigging has been ineffective lately. The boats average six to 10 bites a day, and are able to keep their one "under" tuna. A couple of 200-pound class bigeyes were also caught recently. Due to a last minute cancellation, The Canyon Runner Ritchie is open for charter on Monday -- or for individual reservation at $400 a seat. For information call La Rosa at 732 272-4445.

The Lagniappe Stage took on an Andalusian atmosphere as New Orleans Jazz Fest crowds cheered on fierce flamenco rhythms clapped, tapped and stomped to somber-toned songs of lonely gypsies, wandering in search of guitars.
New Orleans guitarist John Lawrence and his Ven Pa' Ca Flamenco Ensemble started their set a bit late, but made up for the delay by pounding out a nonstop series of dramatic flamenco songs.
Lawrence, who has played flamenco guitar for more than a decade, showed off his skills with agile picking and strumming. He was accompanied by percussionist Dave Sobel, soprano saxophonist Robert Wagner and dancer Leticia Jimenez.
Sobel joined Lawrence in providing raspy, forceful vocals and teamed with Jimenez to create rhythms with hand-clapping, foot-stamping and various slaps and taps to their cajons, a box-like percussion instrument that doubled as their chairs.
Jimenez's dancing provided the main attention-grabber.
Crowds oohed and aahed, grabbed cameras and sat up in their chairs each time she swirled to center stage, arms flowing and hands tracing florid patterns in the air. Jimenez's upper half stayed smooth and graceful while her legs and feet tapped and stomped out brazen rhythms.
Her dances often ended with a flourish, arms whipping into the air as though issuing a challenge.
The performance added a distinctly Spanish flair to the festival.
"So unique," Gregg Mello of Milford, Conn., told Sobel after the show. "You wouldn't think to hear this at a jazz fest."
The highly percussive Flamenco music and dance style stems from the Andalusia region of Spain. While energetic, the gypsy-influenced songs can involve mournful sounds resulting from a history of oppression.
Most of the music performed Friday afternoon featured darker, almost ominous tones, expressed in up-tempo guitar and percussion parts that often built in intensity. The set included a song by Lawrence's mentor and fellow flamenco guitarist, Carlos Sanchez, a regular Jazz Fest performer who died last spring.
Toward the end of the set, the group played a song with a more jovial, carefree feel. Jimenez expressed the mood with twirling arms, lighter footwork and a rare smile.
The bit of Spanish culture left crowds eager for more. After the show, several audience members asked where they could find the ensemble outside the fest.
For those wondering, John Lawrence and Ven Pa' Ca are set to play Sunday evening at Bacchanal in the Bywater.

Two sex offenders have been indicted on charges they violated the terms of their supervised release, either by lying about their address or not telling authorities where they were living.
Jeffrey Moore, 24, faces one count of failure to register while 73-year-old Anthony Landi has been indicted on five counts of the charge.
Arrested in March, Moore began staying in the Mansfield Motel on Route 57 after he was paroled from prison Feb. 18 after serving a portion of a three-year prison sentence, court records say. A warrant for his arrest was issued after it was discovered he never reported the address to township police, which was a condition of his release.
Moore, previously of Independence Township, was arrested in January 2010 by detectives from the Warren County Prosecutor's Office on charges he had sex with a female under the age of 16 on several occasions.
He later pleaded guilty to various charges in the case.
Landi was also arrested in March after authorities discovered he was living in Blairstown Township, despite registering under a Mansfield Township address, court records say. He is accused of falsifying his address on five occasions dating to March 2010, records show.
Landi is required to register with authorities after he was indicted on numerous charges in 1992, including several counts of sexual assault. He was sentenced a year later to five years' probation after pleading guilty to a charge of third-degree endangering the welfare of a child, records indicate.
Both of the men have been released from the Warren County jail and remain free on bail, online records indicate.

California Public Employee Relations
CPER's October 2008 issue (No. 192) has two important articles. First is a piece on the influence of stereotypes on employment decisions. The article provides readers with an overview of both the science and legal issues relating to stereotyping, highlighting examples of where the law and science are arguably at odds. With this understanding, practitioners can better frame discovery and legal theories, and identify circumstances where expert testimony may be necessary to counteract common misconceptions about decision-making and the influence of stereotypes. The article is by Jocelyn Larkin, director of litigation and training at the Impact Fund, whose mission is to enhance the ability of lawyers to bring public interest impact litigation in the areas of civil rights, poverty, and environmental justice.
CPER's second main article concerns a recent decision of considerable importance by the U.S. Supreme Court in Engquist v. Oregon Department of Agriculture. The court considered whether the United States Constitution's Equal Protection Clause requires that every employment decision of state and federal agencies have a "rational basis." The vehicle for this rational basis review was the "class-of-one" theory of equal protection – which the court rejected. The authors laud the decision, which they posit would have substantially increased public sector employment litigation.
In October, CPER will publish the Pocket Guide to Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act, by J. Scott Tiedemann. It is the 15th title in the CPER Pocket Guide Series. For a complete list, go to http://cper.berkeley.edu/.
Center for the Study of Child Care Employment
In August, CSCCE released the year-one report of Learning Together, our five-year study of six BA completion cohort programs in early care and education. Such programs, which have targeted small groups of adults working in early care and education to pursue a course of study together and receive a variety of support services, have emerged in several California counties. CSCCE launched this longitudinal study to demonstrate the outcomes of these efforts, and to inform further policy and program development. This Year I report compiles findings from interviews with over 90 percent of the 124 student cohort members, as well as 13 administrators and faculty members from three of the six institutions of higher education.

A Fond Farewell to Elizabeth del Rocio
Elizabeth del Rocio Camacho leaves IRLE this month, but she will be remembered with great friendship and appreciation for her many years of outstanding work at our Webmaster. During her tenure, several IRLE program Web sites were the recipients of national and international awards and acclaim. The IRLE Library site has won three awards, and The Labor Center, The Labor Project for Working Families, and Center for the Study of Child Care Employment have also been recognized several times. The IRLE and Labor Center Web sites are the two most heavily visited sites on the Socrates server, and for many years, our Web presence has served as an example to other campus Organized Research Units. Yet even though Elizabeth's work has never been anything short of outstanding, she will be equally missed for her warmth and collaborative spirit. IRLE wishes Elizabeth the very best in her future plans!
California's Living New Deal Project in the News
Although kudos belong to the California Studies Center as well, it is noteworthy to mention recent press about the project under Library News, as we work closely with CSC, and the CLNDP's Web site. is the heart of the project. On Labor Day, the San Francisco Chronicle published a front page feature on the project, with extensive interviews of Dick Walker, Gray Brechin, and staff at the California Historical Society. The story also indentifies the IRLE Library as the overseer of the Web site.

Labor Project for Working Families
On August 7th, the Labor Project for Working Families and the VOICE Coalition hosted a forum on child care for parents, advocates and providers. The forum provided an opportunity to discuss how Alameda County should address the crisis in child care that exists at the local, state and national level. Participating in the panel discussion were Mark Friedman of First 5 Alameda County, Gianinna Perez of Children Now and Terry Waller of Assembly Member Loni Hancock's Office. The VOICE Coalition is a coalition of labor unions and child care advocates
The Labor Project provided leadership to the California Work and Family Coalition and continued to fight for paid sick days legislation (AB 2716). To support AB 2716, the coalition worked with its partners to highlight a health impact assessment and a public opinion poll supporting the importance of paid sick days. On July 30th, a health impact assessment was released by Human Impact Partners and researchers at the San Francisco Department of Public Health showing significant positive public health impacts of the bill. A press conference was held at the State Capitol on August 5th to release the findings of a poll by the Field Research Corporation showing striking public support for a paid sick days law. Primarily due to fiscal considerations in California's current budget crisis, AB 2716 was held by the Senate Appropriations Committee on August 7th. AB 2716 will not make it to the Senate floor for a vote this year. However, AB 2716 progressed farther in the legislative process than paid sick days legislation in any other state. The coalition is committed to reintroducing paid sick days legislation next year.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of optical networking equipment maker Finisar (Nasdaq: FNSR ) plummeted more than 10% in intraday trading today, just one week after marking a new 52-week high.
So what: There's high volume in the sell-off, which suggests profit taking by large institutional owners of the stock. Wellington Management, administrator of the Vanguard family of funds, and BlackRock (NYSE: BLK ) were the two largest outside shareholders as of June 30.
Now what: Without any business cause for a sell-off, I'm loath to call this anything other than Mr. Market acting like, well, Mr. Market. Brocade Communications (Nasdaq: BRCD ) , a customer, just recognized Finisar as one of its top suppliers, and the stock was trading for a reasonable 15.5 times next year's earnings before the drop. If you're a long-term investor looking for a buying opportunity, panicked traders just handed you one.

text: Okay so we went through an awful ordeal with ds being very sick for the month of Marcha nd part of April. I was with him 24/7 for 5 weeks straight and although it was horrible going through the stress and him being sick, it was also wonderful to have that time together. I have to admit, I stayed home an extra week just to have more time and considered another but had to go back and save that time, in case he has a relapse. So that whole time there was no reason to pump and I didn't miss it one bit. Coming back to work after being out for 5 weeks was stressful enough I am finding it even harder and mroe stressful to pump. Ds is going to be 16 months this week and I am thinking it's okay to say Bye Bye to the pump. If I were with him all day there would be no reason to have to supplement but I am not and can't change that. Is anyone else in this position, where they nurse when with their child but give a supplement when not with (which for us would amount to 4-6 ounces per day, one bottle at naptime). Yesterday i forgot to bring his bm and he did fine with the bottle of milk. He drinks organic cow's milk with added DHA once in awhile and we had added al ittle to his bottle to see how he would do with it, just in case I was ever in this position (or as yesterday occured, forgot his bm). He does okay with it, it's not like how he is with bm but he will take most of it. Any help would be appreciated! I am sad about this and feel like I am giving up and failing but I know I am not- he still nurses 4+ times a day. But the feelings are still there

Childhood friends Mike Cox and Robbie Agnone are currently toiling away in the summer heat during two-a-day practices at NFL training camps.
Cox, who is entering his third season with the Kansas City Chiefs, is atop the depth chart at fullback. Agnone is working hard trying to make the Atlanta Falcons as a backup tight end. Both former Red Land High School standouts entered the NFL as undrafted free agents.
Obviously, work ethic and determination has brought both athletes this far.
Cox, who starred at Georgia Tech, made the Chiefs' opening day roster in 2008 by plowing into defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs as a bruising lead-blocker. He opened many holes for former teammate Larry Johnson, and is poised to do the same for free agent pickup Thomas Jones and third-year speedster Jamaal Charles.
The 6-0, 252-pound Cox carried the ball once as a rookie, and three times last season for five yards. He did catch 10 passes for 79 yards last year (longest reception was 19 yards), after hauling in eight passes for 19 yards the year before.
"Man ... it's like 104 degrees in my car right now," said Cox during a break from training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Mo.
"I came in [rookie year] with a midset of just outworking people everyday. There was an open position and I just fought hard for it. I just worked hard and had some luck on my side. I was just blessed."
Last year, the Chiefs were rebuilding under first-year coach Todd Haley, known for his tough-guy reputation. The team finished dead last in the AFC West with a 4-12 slate, including going 1-7 at Arrowhead Stadium. There were some bright spots, however, for Cox and his teammates last season.
The Chiefs recorded back-to-back victories over Oakland and Pittsburgh in weeks 11 and 12. Cox's highlight was when he scored his first touchdown of his career when he blasted into the end zone from a yard out in a 44-24 victory over Denver in the season finale.
Cox feels that the positive win over the Broncos, which snapped a five-game losing streak at that time, has carried over to this year.
"We started the season slowly, but we ended it on a high note," he said. "It was carried over to the offseason and, hopefully, into this season."
Haley added two new coordinators to his staff this season in former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis (offense) and former Browns mentor Romeo Crennel (defense). Both coaches were at one time part of the New England Patriots organization, and Cox can already see the changes in the team's approach.
"You can tell there is a difference at practice," Cox said. "They are big on tempo and they brought in a winning tradition."
Cox also credits assistant head coach/running back coach Maurice Carthon for helping him develop as a blocker and all-around fullback. With the addition of Jones, who ran for more than 1,400 yards last year with the Jets, Cox feels that the running game will be as dangerous as ever.
"Thomas is a downhill runner and a leader by example," he said. "He's fit in right away, and is like another coach on the field. Charles is a game-breaking runner with blazing speed. We have a tough O-line, and we take pride in running the ball."
Cox and Agnone had an opportunity to catch up at Cox's wedding, and again last Friday at the Georgia Dome when the Falcons recorded a 20-10 preseason victory over the Chiefs.
"Mike and I have been friends since I was six," said Agnone during a break from Flowery Branch, Ga. "He is a great person and player and he has given me a lot of advice [regarding the NFL]."
Agnone was a two-year starter at the University of Delaware after he transferred from Pitt. The 6-6, 256 pounder played in 35 games, starting 31, and hauled down 71 passes for 886 yards and 11 touchdowns. He finished his career ranked second in all-time receptions and touchdowns for a tight end in school history.
Following his collegiate career, Agnone as signed by the Washington Redskins last year, but was released before the regular season. He then spent the entire season on the Patriots' practice squad before being waived. The Falcons signed him on July 31.
"I was at home [in Harrisburg] and my agent called me, and a couple of hours later I was on the plane," Agnone recalled. "I feel this is a great opportunity to learn from one of the all-time great tight ends in Tony Gonzalez."
At the tight end position, the Falcons, who finished second in the NFC South at 9-7 last season, had some openings at backup. With the experience, albeit limited, Agnone gained last year, he as a good shot at making the team.
"I've stayed positive and have been playing well," Agnone said.
"I've been studying my playbook, learning the offense and just being prepared for anything. It's been amazing to be in [offensive] meetings with Gonzalez because he is such a great player with tons of experience. I know with Matt Ryan and the other weapons, the Falcons have an explosive offense."

Normally, he says, business is good when Valentine's Day falls Tuesday through Thursday. This year, the day falls on a Monday, creating the possibility that too many lovebirds may opt for a long weekend and go out of town -- instead of shopping in downtown Portland.
The National Retail Federation predicts the average shopper will spend $116 this year on such Valentine's staples as flowers, chocolates, jewelry and cards. That's 11 percent more than the $103 consumers spent last year on tokens of their affection.
By the numbers
Here's how consumers plan their Valentine's Day dollars, according to a survey of 8,900 people conducted during the first two weeks of January:
$68.98: What they expect to spend on significant others
$3.5 billion: Projected U.S. jewelry sales
$5.04: What they plan to spend on gifts for pets
$3.27: What they spent on pets in 2010
$3.41: What they expect to spend on co-workers
— National Retail Federation
The retail trade group, which commissioned a survey of 8,913 consumers, predicts total U.S. spending will reach $15.7 billion for the holiday. Cards are expected to be the most popular gift, yet jewelry moved up slightly on gift lists, with 17.3 percent of respondents saying they'd pick up something sparkly -- compared with 15.5 percent last year.

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H20Br2O2, contains one half-molecule located on an inversion centre. The molecule is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation from the best plane of the non-H atoms of 0.054 (2) Å for the O atoms. The butoxy group adopts a fully extended all-trans conformation. In the crystal, molecules are connected via C-BrO halogen bonds [BrO = 3.2393 (19) Å] into a two-dimensional corrugated network in the bc plane.

OverviewThe Rim of the World Trail is the primary route through Nebraska's 4,000-acre Ponderosa Wildlife Management Area (WMA). This WMA has been in existence since 1965, but the trail is actually an old 2-track road long abandoned by the county for being too steep. The only vehicles allowed on the trail are state fish & game units. Like the rest of the Pine Ridge, the WMA is characterized by steep buttes, canyons, ridges, sandstone rock formations, and small streams. Thick ponderosa pine forest covers much of the area, though there are some stands of aspen and ash. The area does not see many visitors, except during firearms deer hunting season and wild turkey spring hunting season. Besides an abundance of deer and wild turkeys, other wildlife seen there include bighorn sheep, some elk, a growing mountain lion population, coyotes, and the common mix of porcupines, racoons, and skunks. The WMA has survived three major forest fires. The first was the McIntosh Fire in 1985 and the second was the Sawlog Fire in 2000. The third, 2012, was by far the worst, with almost everything north of the Rim of The World Trail destroyed.
CAUTION is warranted in this burn area, along with permission from the WMA office. The state of Nebraska is working to remove dangerous fallen timber from it's state parks and WMA's.
Getting There
Route and OptionsThe Rim of the World Trail is about 4 miles long, from the trailhead to the WMA boundary. Hikers climb from 3,960 feet at the traihead to about 4,380 feet at the high point on the trail just past the halfway point. Not far from the WMA end of the trail, hikers will come to a junction with the Rattlesnake Trail, which heads in a mostly northerly direction on a gentle slope down over 300 feet into a rocky canyon. The Rattlesnake Trail is just over 1 mile in length. It's beauty is the easy access it gives to the canyon bottom, allowing for lots of exploring. Rattlesnake Trail will also gett you started on one of the ways out to Crown Butte.
While the hike on the Rim of The World Trail is great just for a remote get-away into a very rugged and scenic area, it is also good for the options it gives hikers for some off-trail hiking to nearby canyons and major buttes. At the mid-point of the trail, there is a 200 foot deep canyon about 1/2 mile straight south. If hikers go off-trail straight north for about 1 mile, they will come to the south side of Castle Butte (4,504 feet), which is a long serpentine butte with very steep sides. About 1 mile (straight line)north-northwest from the end of The Rattlesnake Trail, is Crown Butte (not to be confused with the nearby Crow and Little Crow Buttes). Though hikers do not cover long distances when exploring off-trail, the terrain is very rugged and steep, so progress will be slow.
Anyone who chooses to hike this area should be advised these trails have no markings, so PLEASE study your maps carefully! A good topo map along with your national forest map is essential. GPS is a great idea, though do not depend entirely on it.
Essential GearUnless you go during the winter, when your selection of gear would be dictated by how much snow was on the ground and how cold it was, you will need only what you would normally take on a hike of 3 hours or longer, depending on how many side routes you might wish to try.
Suggestions would include water, appropriate shoes or boots, hat, hiking pole, sunscreen, tick repellent from early spring to late August, compass, map, rain gear if the forecast is questionable, and a camera. If you are hiking solo or with just one friend, pepper spray is advisable in case you encounter a mountain lion. This is WMA land and not a state park, so you might encounter local hikers who sometimes carry a pistol because of the mountain lions. This is legal in Nebraska.

John Thompson was an 18-year-old high school senior from Hurdsfield when he was faced with a critical decision that no 18 year old or anyone should have to make: Should he have his arms reattached to his body?
It was in 1992 when Thompson had his arms ripped off in a farming accident. Now, almost 20 years later, his plight is scheduled to be the subject of a feature on the Biography Channel's television program "I Survived..."
The program will show how he survived the accident, which became headline news around the world.

Almost 20 years ago, John Thompson had his arms torn off in a farming accident. Thompsons' arms were subsequently reattached. His story is planned to be the subject for the Biography Channel's program "I Survived..."
Right now, Thompson said he is "99 percent sure they're going to do the show."
He said that he has done a phone interview with the crew in Switzerland. This crew then sent a representative from Los Angeles to do a video interview, here in Minot. The purpose of this video was to see how Thompson appeared on camera, what he looked like and how his story sounded.
Once he goes to Los Angeles while he isn't sure when exactly, he said he believes it will happen sometime in the first two weeks of March he will shoot another video, this time it will be footage for the show.
"They want to get it on the air in April, this year yet," he said. "They were rushing to get it all together."
He was the average high school senior from the Midwest. He was tall with blond hair and blue eyes and listened to Guns N' Roses the kind of guy that seemed to scream the epitome of a Midwestern teenage boy in the early 1990s.
But his life changed on Jan. 11, 1992.
Thompson was unloading grain from a truck into a grain auger on his family's farm near Hursdfield, 25 miles south of Harvey. While he was unloading the grain, his shirt got caught in the power takeoff shaft of the auger.
"It pulled me in and ripped my arms off," he said.
His left arm was pulled off between the elbow and the shoulder; his right arm, just below the shoulder.
Thompson managed to make his way to the house. With a pencil clenched in this teeth, he dialed 9-1-1. He then waited in the bathtub, so as not to get blood on the carpet.
The original plan was that he would be taken to Bismarck and treated for shock before being medivacced to Minneapolis. He was far from being in shock. On the contrary, he was "calm and relaxed," Thompson recalled.
He was taken to St. Aloisius Hospital in Harvey, where Thompson said he was born and died "I've been dead three times or I should have been."
Blood was flown to Harvey from Bismarck as he didn't have any blood left in his body.
"Medically, I shouldn't have been alive," he said.
The "O Negative" blood which had coursed through his veins was practically depleted. His veins had collapsed, which made administering an IV all the more difficult. The fact that he didn't have any arms complicated matters more; the IV was applied in his feet.
The hospital didn't have his blood type, so they started using whatever blood type they could find; as soon as they put blood into him, it would bleed right out again. When his body began to retain the blood, he was flown to Robbinsdale, Minn.
Thompson said he remembers being in the hospital in Harvey and being loaded on the plane. It was a boring flight to Minnesota, he said.
"I remember getting off the plane and it was a lot colder in Minnesota than it was here (in North Dakota)," he added.
It was at the North Memorial Medical Center, in Robbinsdale, where Thompson was faced with a critical decision: he had the choice of having his arms reattached.
"I figured I'm already here, so you might as well put them on," he said.
However, with his choice, there were risks. Having his arms reattached meant that he would have more chance of infections, a longer hospital stay, and there was the chance that, if his arms didn't respond, they would again be removed.
It was a risk, and he took it.
His arms were attached, but all was not well with the world. By this time, his arms had been unattached for eight hours. They started to decompose.
When they put his arms back on, toxins in the arms went back into his body and he received an infection. This infection gave him a 20 percent chance of living.
His left arm wasn't responding and the doctors wanted to remove it. Thompson said to keep it on.
There was no blood flow in it, but however it soon started circulating on its own the doctors didn't know how it happened.
Over the course of about 14 years, Thompson would be plagued by infections because of the operation. It has been about six years since he has had any infections.
The accident, as Thompson said, was "no big deal."
"There's no similarities between what my life was and what it is now," he said.
However, as news began to spread about his story, the 18-year-old boy from Hurdsfield, N.D., became known worldwide.
He couldn't go out in public without people staring, people talking to him, and people touching him. He began to avoid going anywhere by himself. He didn't go out in public or travel by himself without security.
"People know who I am," he said.
Even on a trip to Mexico in 2010, Thompson was recognized. It ruined his vacation, he said, as by the fifth day of his eight-day trip, the whole resort knew who he was. He said it was stressful to be approached by so many people at a time when he was relaxing on a vacation.
Thompson is still a relatively private person. He no longer requires security except when he travels.
At first, when people who had heard about his story approached him acting familiar, he said it was "really creepy at first."
"I'm used to being stared at and gawked at," he said, but he's also become accustomed to not paying attention to attention. It isn't that he's stuck up, it's just that being the object of curious stares became a common and constant occurrence.
"It's not that I'm rude. I just don't pay attention to people," he said.
Since his accident, Thompson guessed that he's been on about 20 television programs.
"Donahue was the first talk show that I did where I went somewhere," Thompson said, referring to the many local news shows that he appeared on. "I think I did that in the fall of 1992 or the following summer. I've done so many that I can't remember."
The last program that he was featured on was "Urban Legends" as part of the episode "Three Degrees of Separation," in 2009.
On the 10th anniversary of the accident, on Jan. 11, 2002, his book, "Home In One Piece" was released. The release party was held at North Memorial Medical Center, in Robbinsdale, where his reattachment surgery was held.
Coincidentally, his book is used in English classes in Switzerland.
"I don't know why," he said. "I'm a big thing in Switzerland. I'm like a celebrity over there."
In addition to touring, Thompson began to give farm safety talks. This progressed into motivational speaking.
He has been involved in government, mostly working with governors but also says "Earl, Kent and Byron" are friends of his. In 1994, Thompson worked with then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton on the health care reform bill. He also took a chance at becoming a member of the government; in April 2004, he ran for a seat in the North Dakota House of Representatives. He later changed his mind, as he planned on moving out of the state, but it was too late to get his name off the ballot. Despite the fact that he didn't campaign, "I almost won."
In 2009, he entered the real estate business; since 2010, he has been a Realtor.
As the 20th anniversary of his accident approaches, Thompson said that he plans to write a follow-up to his book. He said he hopes to have it released in time for the anniversary, but with an agent and a publisher to find, it won't be an easy task.

With the Scarlet Knights finishing in second place for four-star Pope John XXIII (Sparta, N.J.) receiver Noah Brown – who committed to Ohio State, Monday – Rutgers fans have pondered whether the staff would re-open the recruitment of another in-state four-star pass-catcher – Juwann Winfree. NJ.com caught up with the 6-2, 185-pound Englewood (N.J.) difference-maker to find out if that were the case or not.
"No," the standout North Jersey split end told NJ.com. "The last time I heard from Rutgers was a few months ago."
Winfree maintains that five schools stand out, while a sixth also has an outside chance.
"I have five schools: Georgia, Maryland, Pittsburgh, North Carolina State and West Virginia. Vanderbilt, too, but I don't know," he said. "So far, I've already taken an official visit to Georgia, and my next official visit will be to Maryland when they face West Virginia on the 21st."
Winfree broke his list of top schools down even further as the Georgia Bulldogs are gaining momentum in the waning days of his recruitment.
"Honestly, I don't know. There is a nice run between a lot of these schools," said Winfree. "But Pitt, Maryland and Georgia are probably up at the very top, right now."
When the Bulldogs hosted the agile receiver this past weekend for an official visit, they set the tone for the remainder of Winfree's recruiting cycle.
"That was a great visit," Winfree said. "It was a nice experience to see the atmosphere and what life is like out there. I enjoyed it."
An internet rumor surfaced a month ago, claiming Winfree had committed to the Pitt Panthers. But according the talented wide-out, although Pitt remains one of his top choices, there is no truth to the allegations.
"I don't even know where that came from, honestly," he said. "But that never happened."
Winfree hopes to wrap up the recruiting process over the next few weeks, after receiving the opportunity to experience most of his favorite schools in-person.
"I plan on making my decision by the middle of my season," he said. "I want to get a few visits done first and that should help me decide."

A 36-year-old man accused in the death of a Hershey Co. executive will face trial on charges he was drunk when his car slammed head-on into the victim's as she was driving home from work in Derry Township.
Nicholas Rivera is charged with DUI homicide by vehicle and related charges in the March 11 crash on Hersheypark Drive. Norma Menis-Croxall, 47, of Hummelstown, died in the wreck. Menis-Croxall worked as The Hershey Co.'s director of corporate social responsibility. Another woman in a third car was injured.
Police say Rivera had a blood-alcohol content of 0.14 and had marijuana in his system at the time of the crash. After a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, District Judge Dominic Pelino decided the case will go to trial.
Rivera pleaded guilty to a DUI case in Dauphin County in 2003.

Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, has auctioned an annual charity lunch with the legendary investor to benefit Glide, a San Francisco nonprofit helping those in need. Andrew Harrer
The UpTake: Glide has raised more than $16 million auctioning an annual lunch with Warren Buffett over the past 15 years. More directly, the annual auction has boosted Berkshire Hathaway's bottom line. And Warren Buffett has even been able to do some talent scouting at the event.
T he Glide Foundation has raised more than $16 million auctioning an annual lunch with Warren Buffett over the past 15 years. But the real winner of the charity lunch is Buffett himself.
The auction's biggest bidder for two years running was money manager Ted Weschler. He won the auctions in 2010 and 2011, after which he was hired by Buffett to join Todd Combs in managing billions for Berkshire Hathaway.
To be certain, the Rev. Cecil Williams— co-founder of both Glide Foundation and the Glide Memorial Church — was generous in his praise of Buffett and eBay in making last week's auction a success, pulling in more than $2 million this year.
For more news from the San Francisco Business Times, check out Mark Calvey's work.
As for Weschler, he was already prospering in managing $2 billion at his firm, Peninsula Capital Advisors of Charlottesville, Va., when he first sat down with Buffett for lunch.
An investor putting their money into Peninsula Capital's 10 largest holdings from late 2003 to mid 2011 would have almost doubled their money compared to a 30 percent gain in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, including reinvested dividends, the Motley Fool reported, citing data from research firm AlphaClone.
That performance didn't go unnoticed by Buffett at those pricey lunches with Weschler.
"Ted will no doubt make a lot of money at Berkshire. But he was already making a lot of money with his fund — you can get an idea from the size of his bids," Buffett said in hiring him, according to Reuters.
Weschler's investments at Peninsula in 2011 included DaVita, the operator of kidney-dialysis centers and DirecTV, now being acquired by AT&T. It's not surprising that some of Weschler's favorites have since popped up in Berkshire's holdings. Like Buffett, Weschler was quite comfortable concentrating Peninsula's holdings into a handful of names as he managed money from a small office in what the Wall Street Journal described as a "quaint" block in downtown Charlottesville.

Very Disappointed! I called...12/03/2012
Very Disappointed! I called them to make a reservation for December 2012. We are doing a road trip from Florida to Texas and stopping in New Orleans for two days. I called to make a reservation and they said they need an interview done at least a day before the dog can stay. When I tell her that we arrive that day and we cannot go the day before since we will not be in New Orleans she says that for the holidays they may be completely booked. Then she says that the dog can be interviewed in Florida and they can transfer the paperwork. Seemed that that was going to work out. I told her ok let's make the appointment then. She said the appointment can only be made after the interview is done….UHHH excuse me? That doesn't make any sense…she is telling me that they will be booked but then she doesn't want to make an appointment for my dog? The whole process doesn't make sense. My dog is a Maltese used to travel in airplanes, hotels, boarding in many places. She gets along with all kind of pets and I told her this. I will be telling this to all my friends that own pets.
5 stars for Camp Bow Wow01/03/2011
Camp BowWow is wonderful. After my dog had a difficult experience elsewhere, I was nervous about doggie-day care. I had nothing to worry about at Bow Wow. The staff are great. They get to know the dogs and work to make sure the dogs all get the attention, care and exercise they need.
Great Place12/27/2010
I love camp bow wow. They have a very friendly staff and tons of room for your pooch. They are always sending great information and promotional emails. During ur pooch's stay they will be treated great. Playtime with other dogs there size and u can watch them online incase ur feeling gulity or wanna chenck up on them. I would recommend this place to anyone who feels bad when they leave there pooch for vacation time! Your dog will not be lonely or treated badly ;o)
Overprotective mom of a yorkie12/10/2010
As a new owner of a yorkie I was and am still very overprotective of her and this is the only camp that I feel 100% confident in her staying. \r \r The camper cams are great to see what she is doing and I have popped in and taken a tour at different times and it is always very clean and well attended. \r \r I have brought my dog there several times and each time I am very well satisfied. The staff is great and very accomodating. I just wish I lived closer so she could go and play more often not just when I am in New Orleans for the weekend or on vacation.\r \r
Corgi-tested, Mother-approved12/09/2010
Brought my Corgi here for her ""interview"" and free day of camp and am going to board her here for Christmas. I was very impressed. Before your dog can be a ""camper,"" the staff brings them back and tests their temperament and how well they get along with other dogs. That makes me feel comfortable about the other dogs that she will be playing with. Then while I was finishing up the paperwork, they put the camera feed up on a TV screen so I could watch her, which was very reassuring. I was very impressed by the facility tour. It was very clean and well-kept. They have a lot of dogs but are very organized. They put my dog in with other dogs of her size, which was perfect. They also have a ""tea cup"" room for the teeny dogs which is too cute! They seem to know a lot about dog behavior and health. Dogs have to wait an hour after eating to play to prevent bloat. They get ""nap time"" mid-day so they don't get overextended. There is even a ""time out"" area for dogs that are getting out of hand. I loved watching my dog on the camera when I was at work. It was fun to see her run around! She is older and I was worried about her over-exerting herself, but she eventually just plopped herself at the counselor's feet. I saw her get a nice tummy rub too! The prices are a little higher than I'd like to pay, but you're definitely getting a high-quality facility.
I would absolutely recommend Camp Bow Wow New Orleans11/18/2010
I would absolutely recommend Camp Bow Wow New Orleans. My dog Stella practically tackles me with excitement every time we pull into the parking lot. Whether it is a half day, full day, or overnight camp stay I know my dog will be taken care of and have a wonderful time there. The camper cams are a fabulous way to check in on your little one. Camp is a great way to get your dogs to socialize with other dogs and playing with other dogs sure beats sitting at home all day. You can also rest assure that there is always someone in the play areas with the dogs for supervision purposes. The cabins are very spacious and I even enjoy shopping around in the store. When I pick her up she immediately falls asleep and is an angel for the rest of the day or night. It is worth every penny and trust me your dogs will love it.
We love Camp Bow Wow11/08/2010
Wow to Camp Bow Wow!! Our two dogs love camp bow wow. They are so excited when we pull up to the wonderful, clean, friendly facility. When I drop them off they don't even look back to say good-bye. It's off to their freinds. When we pick them up, they fall asleep on the back seat of the car before we even get home. Thank you camp bow wow for the peace we get knowing our babbies are in such good hands and having such a great time. Camper Cams are a big plus!

We just love Camp Bow Wow and so does our dog Tank. I especially love the Camper Cams so I know Tank is being well taken care of. The staff is very friendly and treat the dogs as their own. I always feel Tank is in good hands when he is there for either the day or for a week.

Runners please....
Okay..so I honestly haven't worked out in around ten years. I mean really worked out. I made attempts but they failed :(. I am not necessarily "over weight" but I am very out of shape. I am trying to get back into eating really healthy again. I kind of got off of that band wagon for awhile.
Does anyone have any advice for someone just starting out? How start out, etc? I was looking into that Couch to 5k program......
Here's the ONLY thing that gets me in gear to actually run. Signing up and paying money for a race.
If I'm not financially invested, I'll slack off.
I would not consider myself a runner (I don't even love it), but I have finished 2 marathons, and had a blast. The training was hard, but when I was $90 in on entry fee and another $100 on shoes, I made myself do it! :)

This deal has ended.
BlueFly's clearance section has incredible values. Everything at Bluefly is 40% off to begin with, but once the selection of sizes gets thin, the item goes to clearance and prices drop to 60%-80% off. Take women's jeans, for example: Dolce & Gabbana are as low as $75 and Diesel as low as $35. If they hit your size its a steal. These women's Diesel jeans retailed for $130 but are now $39.99 in clearance. Plus, we have two coupon codes ($15 off $100 and $30 off $200), shipping is a flat $7.95 and there is no sales tax (except NY).No longer available


text: Couldn't pass up going here as I read the great reviews on Trip Advisor. Had cravings for dumplings so we got boiled gyoza, fried gyoza and another dumpling. The fried gyoza was amazing...probably the best I have had. Crispy and so juicy! The other two dishes were average but not outstanding. Very simple and crowded place. Most of the staff... More
