Super Bowl Scams Range From Fake Ticket Offers To Hotel Packages To Counterfeit Merchandise
February 1, 2012 by staff
Super Bowl Scams Range From Fake Ticket Offers To Hotel Packages To Counterfeit Merchandise, The Super Bowl is shaping up to be a ratings bonanza with teams from two big media markets, New York and Boston. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns that publicity about the game is likely to breed scams as well.
"When major sporting events make a splash, scammers try to capitalize on the scarcity of tickets and fans' desire to snap up souvenirs or team jerseys," said Michelle L. Corey, BBB President and CEO. "The BBB advises fans to check out offers with the BBB before plunking down their money or giving credit card numbers."
While counterfeit items may seem like a good deal, they are actually stolen goods. If you love your team, don't buy a hat or jersey from someone who has stolen the team's name and logo for their own profit. Many counterfeit items are more cheaply made than genuine merchandise, which means they may not last as long as the real thing.
Buying counterfeit memorabilia online poses even more potential problems. Some websites don't even have merchandise to sell. They just want your credit card number and personal information so they can steal your identity or drain your bank account. The best way to ensure you are getting official sports gear is to buy directly from the team or league websites, from official vendors at the stadium or from other trusted stores.
Ticket scams often are rampant for events like the Super Bowl, which is a sellout more often than not. Craigslist has thousands of Super Bowl tickets listed, but the site offers no guarantees and sellers don't have to provide identification to list tickets. If you decide to try buying a ticket outside the event, remember that there are no refunds or guarantees there, either.
The BBB's website lists reputable, secondary market ticket firms that provide buyer protections, including money-back guarantees if tickets are fake. On some sites, sellers also must provide credit card numbers so the site can charge a seller's card for the cost of replacement tickets if they sell fake tickets. Before you buy, check out a seller's BBB Business Review, where you can find out whether complaints have been filed against the business and how the company handled any complaints.
Lodging scams also can be a problem for events like the Super Bowl. Scammers may lure people by advertising low prices – or they may charge a premium by claiming that the hotel is close to the ballpark when it isn't. Others may offer tickets with the hotel room, but you have little or no way of verifying whether the tickets are real.
The BBB advises fans to ask lots of questions and be wary of any offer that requires wiring money. When you send money by wire, it is almost impossible to get it back or to trace the recipient, who may be overseas.

Taking place a generation after The Talismans of Shannara, The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch opens with the discovery of a body. Only two people understand its significance: Walker Boh, the last of the Druids and a familiar character to Shannara fans, and the Ilse Witch, a beautiful but dark young woman who wields a potent magic. Thus begins the voyage of the Jerle Shannara in a race to uncover the mystery, which of course includes an unusual cast of characters: an Elven prince; a monstrous creature who is part man, part enigma; and a young man who may unknowingly hold the key to the success of the mission. For he is the only one who can call upon that ancient talisman, the Sword of Shannara. For the legions of fans who've been captivated since the very first Shannara novel, this eagerly anticipated new chapter in Terry Brooks' signature series will be reason to celebrate. The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch offers an intriguing invitation to plunge again into the enthralling world of the best-selling Shannara adventures.More
"This lively new adventure...combines the familiar quest format used in The Sword of Shannara with an array of well-defined characters and malevolent beings." (Publishers Weekly)
"The Shannara mythology gains a new level of history and depth in a tale that should appeal to the series' legions of fans." Library Journal)

How to Reduce Stock Market Injury Potential
Published: November 14, 1989
To the Editor:
A reader of the financial press lately, whether casual or concerned, has not been safe from the deluge of negative publicity about program trading, specifically index arbitrage. Interestingly, complaints about market activity seem to surface only when the market goes down. In rising markets, critics of these instruments and strategies are mute.
Recent articles of indictment generally contain two counts: (1) Index arbitrage creates volatility in the stock market. (2) Brokerage houses are injuring investors by transacting this business, either for their customers or for themselves.
Arguments that index arbitrage creates market volatility are at best unproved; at worst, overdramatized. The Brady Commission concluded that program trading was not the cause of the crash of Oct. 19, 1987. The market drop of last Oct. 13 was triggered by the announcement that financing for the buyout of UAL Corporation, the parent of United Airlines, could not be completed. That is, the market responded to bad news and was not triggered by the unthinking electronic manipulations of Wall Street computers.
If index arbitrage is dangerous per se, then the solution is self-evident; the Commodity Futures Trading Commission should kill it; that is, let the existing series of contracts expire and revoke the ability to create new ones. Forcing only certain groups to abstain from this arbitrage activity will accomplish nothing. New players will fill in the ranks at once.
If it is determined that the instruments are not themselves harmful, let us reduce the potential for injury by: (1) Increasing margin requirements. Why do people trade these instruments? Because they provide a cheap and highly leveraged way to participate in the movements of the equities market. Therefore, make the margin the same as those to buy the components - common stock. (2) Removing the uptick exemption. If one of the dangers is that the exemption allows traders to kick securities when they're down, make futures traders live by the same rules with which others comply - the uptick rule. (3) Providing coordinated circuit breakers for predetermined timeouts in the stock and futures markets when the action becomes unbalanced.
These instruments were created by exchanges and approved by regulators. Therefore, aiming the outcry against brokerages is misdirected. A week ago, we announced that we would no longer transact this type of trading for our own account. We did so not because we are in sympathy with the strategy's critics, but rather because we're in sympathy with our clients, individual and institutional. At Bear Stearns, we try to abide by the customers' wishes even if we believe that their ire is aimed at the wrong party.
We welcome reasoned and thoughtful analysis of market volatility and offer any assistance we can in addressing it. Both the analysis and the treatment, however, should be reasoned and accurate. It would be well to remember that Congress, in an attempt to prevent the recurrence of the 1929 crash, debated legislation that would have prohibited use of the telephone for margin stock purchase orders. Efforts to address today's problems should not be similarly misguided. ALAN C. GREENBERG Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Bear, Stearns & Company New York, Nov. 3, 1989

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Pay-per-click search engine marketing is great – allowing website owners to drive traffic to their website, with the ability to define keywords, regions, websites, timezones and even times of day to target their audience. But, what happens if this still isn't enough for your website, if you feel you are wasting money on clicks that don't convert? Google have introduced pay-per-action and the premise is pretty simple!
"Pay-per-action advertising is a new pricing model that allows you to pay only for completed actions that you define, such as a lead, a sale,or a pageview, after a user has clicked on your ad on a publisher's site. You'll define an action, set up conversion tracking, and create ads that publishers in the Google content network can then choose to place in new ad units on their site."
The following points are covered by Rob Kniaz, Product Manager for Pay-Per-Action, and highlight the details of this new product.
Ad Placement – ads are only shown on the Google Content Network
Ad Formats – text ads, image ads and Google's new text link ads
Pricing – you define the amount you'd like to pay for each 'action' (based on what that action is worth to your business)
Tracking – Google Analytics enables you to add conversion tracking in order to verify when an 'action' has been completed on your website
Beta Test Requirements – In order to apply for pay-per-action Beta testing you need to comply with the following requirements:
- U.S advertisers only
- You must have conversion tracking (or be able to implement conversion tracking code) on your website
- Apply for Google Pay-Per-Action
The start of a pay-per-action style pricing model is very exciting for website owners as it asks the question "What is a sale worth to you?". No doubt there will be building speculation and commentary about pay-per-action and it's ramifications on search engine marketing. I, for one, look forward to seeing how Google do in Beta, and beg anyone who participates in testing to keep us posted… Should be interesting!!
Keep up to date with the latest from our blogs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/1/2017 (193 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An expert in the relationship between multiculturalism and arts funding is visiting Brandon University this semester.
The BU School of Music is hosting Parmela Attariwala as this year's Stanley Knowles Distinguished Visiting Professor. Attariwala will conduct three free public lectures at BU in conjunction with the Institute for Research in Music and Community and will teach a course in the School of Music.
Attariwala's first public lecture, "The Effects Of Multiculturalism On Publicly Funded Canadian Music," will take place on Jan. 17 at 8 p.m. in the R.D. Bell Hall of the Queen Elizabeth II Music Building. She will also speak on Feb. 7 and on March 21.
Also an accomplished violinist/violist and composer, she will perform on March 26 as part of the BU New Music Festival.
"Dr. Attariwala is a leading authority on Canadian cultural policy as it relates to multiculturalism and arts funding," said BU's dean of music, Greg Gatien. "While in residence here at Brandon University, her teaching, research collaborations, public performances and lectures should provide significant opportunities to consider the evolution of both our musical community and our curriculum."

If I may recycle my own lame joke, Bluetooth speakers rock. (I mean that both literally and figuratively.) There's just something totally cool about a compact speaker that can blast tunes from your smartphone or tablet, no wires required.
This week only, and while supplies last, AccessoryGenie has the GoGroove BlueSync MC Bluetooth speaker for $19.99 shipped. That's after applying coupon code MCSAVE at checkout. Regular price: $34.99 plus shipping.
(That's for the black model. If you'd prefer it in white, which I actually think is little nicer-looking, the same coupon code applies. Here's the link.)
The Bluetooth MC is notable not only for its dual drivers (some speakers have only one), built-in controls, and three-year warranty, but also for its wooden housing. Conventional wisdom holds that wood delivers a "warmer" sound than plastic or metal, though obviously this is a fairly subjective point. If nothing else, it usually means a higher price tag -- but not in this case.
If you're looking to "pair" the speaker with a non-Bluetooth device, like an iPod or MP3 player, there's an easy old-school solution: Just plug in the included 3.5mm aux cable.
Downsides? Because this model has no battery, it's intended more as a bookshelf speaker than a portable one. You can easily move it from room to room, of course, but you'll need to find an outlet. And you can't take it with you to, say, the beach. Also, it lacks a microphone, so you can't use it as a speakerphone.
CNET hasn't reviewed the Bluetooth MC, but over at Amazon, you'll find close to 140 user reviews with an average rating of 4.3 stars (out of 5). And those were based on the regular price. At $19.99 out the door, this is just a crazy-good deal, and a great Father's Day gift item.
Bonus deal: Game time! GameFly is offering some pretty hefty discounts right now, including one of the most celebrated PC titles of 2012: Dishonored, which is just $4.24 when you apply coupon code JUN15OFF at checkout. (You'll need a Steam account to redeem the offer and install the game.) Find out why GameSpot rated it a 9 and called it "a game you'll want to play more than once."

By Kitty Bean Yancey, USA TODAY
Hotel pools are going off the deep end when it comes to luxury, novelty and entertainment.
Ever seen one lined with Swarovski crystals? Guests at the new Thompson Beverly Hills can check out the rooftop watering hole with the glittery baubles embedded in glass, emitting what Thompson Hotels chief Jason Pomeranc calls a "shimmery" effect. "It's one-of-a-kind … very Hollywood," he says.
The guests-and-friends-only pool at Thompson's new Donovan House boutique hotel in Washington, D.C., by contrast, is more subdued, but arty, too, with a design on the bottom. "I see pools as palettes," Pomeranc says.
Other hoteliers — especially those catering to the party crowd — are making waves with swimming holes:
•Just-opened The Joule, A Luxury Collection Hotel, in Dallas has an architectural jewel of a pool with one translucent end that juts out over the street, 10 stories up. It and its lounge open to the public from 5 until midnight Thursday through Sunday. Unlike many upscale pools that allow visitors, there's no entry fee or velvet rope.
•The new Gansevoort South in Florida's South Beach boasts what's billed as the USA's longest rooftop pool (110 feet). Lined by palm trees, it's designed with underwater lights and music and a window where bar patrons can watch swimmers' underwater moves.
It's "an economic drain" because of the cost to build, run and staff it, Gansevoort Hotel Group president Mike Achenbaum says. "But it's a marketing tool … an opportunity to generate a buzz about the hotel."
That tactic worked for the first Gansevoort in the trendy Meatpacking District of Manhattan, where models and actresses cavort. The hotel built "a tremendous following of people who rent rooms just so they can sit by the pool," Achenbaum says.
•The renovated El San Juan Hotel & Casino in Puerto Rico has turned its oceanfront pool into an ultra lounge, with white-curtained sunbeds, deejay, massage pavilion and luxe furnished tiki-hut-style cabanas that include flat-screen TVs and minibars that rent for $500 and up a day this time of year. When not spinning, the deejay will customize hotel guests' iPods with personal poolside faves.
•Las Vegas hotels are going bananas for cabanas with electronic bells and whistles. You'll find them at most upscale casino resorts. Recent additions include the new Wet Republic adults-only party pool at the MGM Grand, where revelers watch DVDs, play Xbox games and order from their cabana's bikini-clad hostess. The Rio's new tops-optional splash-atorium is affiliated with the Sapphire strip club.
•The new guests-only Pooldeck at the renovated Empire Hotel across from Lincoln Center in Manhattan has cabanas with ceiling fans, telephone, flat-screen TV, wireless Internet and daybeds. Plus there are bird's-eye views of bustling Broadway below.
Atlantic City — not known for over-the-top luxury — is getting into the swim with five pools at brand-new The Water Club. An adults-only swimming area at the 800-room non-gaming sister hotel to the Borgata has 400 jets that keep the 80-degree water bubbling. There's a sandy beach area and cabanas, of course, plus a kids' pool and a "Sunroom" with water cascading along a curved stone wall into a pool. At night, it becomes a bar and lounge.
Across the country, boutique hotels in perpetually sunny locales such as San Diego host riotous pool parties open to anyone who can get past the velvet rope. The Ivy Hotel's pool and bar is hot there. In Beverly Hills, the newly renovated pool area at The Peninsula Beverly Hills — created as an urban oasis by designer Cheryl Rowley — caters to a quieter crowd. There, a celeb might be getting a manicure next to you in a cabana ($250 a day for guests, if any are available).
Less than 10% of hotel guests actually go into the pool, veteran hotel analyst Bjorn Hanson says. But "many make their (hotel) decision" based on whether it has one. "There's competition for higher-end travelers," he says. "And if they can have a 'wow' experience (poolside)," it's a competitive edge.
In some cases, pools have become the "modern version of singles bars," he says. "There's a 'beautiful people' association. Instead of going to the bar, you go out to the pool."

From the poisoned rivers, barren wells, and clear-cut forests, to the hundreds of thousands of farmers who have committed suicide to escape punishing debt, to the hundreds of millions of people who live on less than two dollars a day, there are ghosts nearly everywhere you look in India. India is a nation of 1.2 billion, but the country's 100 richest people own assets equivalent to one-fourth of India's gross domestic product.
Capitalism: A Ghost Story examines the dark side of democracy in contemporary India, and shows how the demands of globalized capitalism has subjugated billions of people to the highest and most intense forms of racism and exploitation.
Capitalism feels like straight reportage from the front lines of a war. In every part of the world, the rich few keep getting richer on the backs of a population that continues to work harder and grow poorer for it. And Roy keeps sending these furious, intelligent bulletins to alert us to what's going on. More people than ever are listening to her." —The Stranger
Praise for Arundhati Roy's Field Notes on Democracy:
"Gorgeously wrought . . . pitch-perfect prose. . . . In language of terrible beauty, she takes India's everyday tragedies and reminds us to be outraged all over again." —Time
"In her searing account, Roy asks whether our shriveled forms of democracy will be 'the endgame of the human race'—and shows vividly why this is a prospect not to be lightly dismissed." —Noam Chomsky
"The scale of what Roy surveys is staggering. Her pointed indictment is devastating." —The New York Times Book Review
"An electrifying political essayist... So fluent is her prose, so keen her understanding of global politics, and so resonant her objections to nuclear weapons, assaults against the environment, and the endless suffering of the poor that her essays are as uplifting as they are galvanizing." —Booklist


text: Ok, here's something bothering me. At the end of "He's Our You" we saw Sayid shoot young Ben, and everybody thought he's dead. At the end of "The Variable" we see Daniel being shot, and again, everybody assumes he's dead. What if he isn't and will be miraculously saved somehow? His wound is around his right lung, which makes it impossible that his heart is hurt.

Teams are in alphabetical order because I figured if we're going to be giving out grades, we might as well keep it school oriented. Oh and there are no F's in my class, although some teams were pretty close.
Picks: Round 1 - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (CB), Round 2 - Calais Campbell (DE)
The Cardinals filled in two key weaknesses by landing a CB and a DE with their first two picks. Cromartie also gives them a return specialist while Campbell has the potential to finally give their defense a legitimate pass rush threat.
Grade: A
Picks: Round 1 - Matt Ryan (QB), Sam Baker (OT), Round 2 - Curtis Lofton (ILB)
After kicking themselves in the ass after giving away Matt Schaub, the Falcons decided the time was now with the third pick in the draft and selected Matt Ryan from Boston College. Ryan is generally regarded as the best QB in the draft and along with Sam Baker and second round pick Curtis Lofton, should make an immediate impact.
Grade: A
Picks: Round 1 - Joe Flacco (QB), Round 2 - Ray Rice (RB)
Everyone knew the Ravens needed a QB and apparently, so did they. After trading down and acquiring more mid round picks, the Ravens selected Delaware QB Joe Flacco, perhaps the most accurate QB of the bunch. Ray Rice was selected in Round 2 to spell McGahee and the two give a great upgrade to what otherwise was an anemic offense last year. They still need receivers, though.
Grade: A -
Picks: Round 1 - Leodis McKelvin (CB), Round 2 - James Hardy (WR)
The Bills get the top rated CB in McKelvin who should sure up their defensive pass attack and James Hardy, a second round receiver with the potential to be great.
Grade: A -
Picks: Round 1 - Jonathan Stewart (RB), Round 2 - Jeff Otah (OT)The Panthers decided to continue the trend of two-back systems by taking Oregon running back Jonathan Stewart. He will be a fine power compliment to DeAngelo Williams speedster style. The Panthers also landed Jeff Otah in at pick 19, which is amazing considering some had him going as high as the Top 10.
Grade: A
Picks: Round 1 - Chris Williams (OT), Round 2 - Matt Forte (RB)
Why the Bears didn't take a QB is completely beyond me. Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton? Come on! Brian Brohm and Chad Henne both fell to them and they failed to pull the trigger. Chris Williams however, is a great offensive tackle and Matt Forte will usher in the end of the disappointing Cedric Benson era. I'll give the Bears the benefit of the doubt and assume they're going to take a Woodson or Brennan later on in the rounds.
Grade: B -
Picks: Round 1 - Keith Rivers (OLB), Round 2 - Jerome Simpson (WR)
Keith Rivers is going to be a great linebacker and will finally fill the void of a playmaking linebacker that was left after the departure or Takeo Spikes. Jerome Simpson in Round 2 perplexed the shit out of me, however.
Grade: C -
Picks: N/A
Picks: Round 1 - Felix Jones (RB), Mike Jenkins (CB), Round 2 - Martellus Bennett (TE)
Reports said Jerry Jones wanted Felix Jones in the first round and it turned out to be true. In fact, it turned out to be really true because the Cowboys probably could have waited until their twenty-eighth pick to get him. Instead, they took Mike Jenkins -- a curious decision considering the amount of corner back depth they already have at the position. The round two selection of Martellus Bennett will go well in two TE sets along with Jason Witten.
Grade: B +
Picks: Round 1 - Ryan Clady (OT), Round 2 - Eddie Royal (WR)
As with the Bengals selections -- the Broncos first round selection of Ryan Clady was a good one (if a little puzzling due to his size) however their second round pick of Eddie Royal while many of the top receivers were still on the board? Um, what?
Grade: C -
Picks: Round 1 - Gosder Cherilus (OT), Round 2 - Jordon Dizon (OLB)
I'm not going to knock the Lions first and second round picks of Cherilus and Dizon, respectively, however I am going to knock the fact that they failed to take Rashard Mendenhall after he fell to them twice. Hey, at least they didn't take a wide receiver.
Grade: C +
Picks: Round 2 - Jordy Nelson (WR), Brian Brohm (QB), Patrick Lee (CB)
A lot of people were surprised with the Jordy Nelson pick but I don't think he was that much of a stretch. He's going to be a good player. You got to feel for Aaron Rodgers, though. After finally ridding himself of Brett Favre and the starting job in his sights, the Packers go and select a supreme talent in Brian Brohm. So now he has the constant worry of Packers fans calling for his head after he throws two consecutive picks in a game. Poor kid. Patrick Lee was the best available pick at corner for the Packers.
Grade: B -
Picks: Round 1 - Duane Brown (OT)
The Texans had a need for an offensive tackle and Duane Brown will fit the bill. Simple enough.
Grade: A -
Picks: Round 2 - Mike Pollak (C )
The Colts are apparently planning for the future at the center position and Mike Pollack was considered by many the best one in this years draft.
Grade: A -
Picks: Round 1 - Derrick Harvey (DE), Round 2 - Quentin Groves (DE)
With the departure of Marcus Stroud the Jaguars didn't want to lose their reputation of having a fearsome offensive line to go with a smash mouth offense. They did just that by obtaining Derrick Harvey (in some what of a reach) in round one and Quentin Groves in round two.
Grade: B
Picks: Round 1 - Glenn Dorsey (DT), Branden Albert (OG), Round 2 - Brandon Flowers (CB)
The most impressive first day out of any team, I think. They had three high profile picks and they stuck to their game plan and didn't take what they didn't need. Some thought they would take a QB early but there are still plenty available. Glenn Dorsey could be a franchise corner stone, Branden Albert must have Larry Johnson smiling and Brandon Flowers will make their secondary better.
Grade: A +
Picks: Round 1 - Jake Long (OT), Round 2 - Phillip Merling (DE), Chad Henne (QB)
Another great first day, the Dolphins selected Jake Long who could anchor their offensive line for the next decade, Phillip Merling (who freefell to them for some strange reason) and Chad Henne who will battle for the starting job and most likely get it.
Grade: A +
Picks: Round 2 - Tyrell Johnson (S)
The Vikings filled a need with a great safety here. Done and done.
Grade: A
Picks: Round 1 - Jerod Mayo (OLB), Round 2 - Terrance Wheatley (CB)
I'm not going to lie, me and my friends were flipping out after we traded up to number ten and the Bengals took Keith Rivers. After the selection though, we all began to calm down and realized Mayo is just as good if not better than Rivers. Belichick does know a thing or two about defensive players. Terrance Wheatley, while not one of my top choices is a great athlete who should do just fine in the system.
Grade: B +
Picks: Round 1 - Sedrick Ellis (DT), Round 2 - Tracy Porter (CB)
Trading up to the number seven pick, the Saints made an immediate upgrade to their defensive line with Sedrick Ellis. Does the selection of Tracy Porter in round two suggest that the Saints are no longer in the running for Lito Shephard?
Grade: A
Picks: Round 1 - Kenny Phillips (S), Round 2 - Terrell Thomas (CB)
The defending Super Bowl champion Giants upgraded their weaknesses with Kenny Phillips, the best safety in the draft and Terrell Thomas, a great athlete with the potential to make an impact.
Grade: A -
Picks: Round 1 - Vernon Gholston (DE), Round 2 - Dustin Keller (TE)Again, I won't lie. I'm jealous. Not for the Dustin Keller pick, although it was a good one -- but for the fact that Jets fans get to enjoy Vernon Gholston for the next couple of years. I got a little too attached to Gholston over the past few weeks and while I knew he wouldn't fall to the Patriots, I just wish he hadn't gone to the Jets. I'm still a fan, though.
Grade: A
Picks: Round 1 - Darren McFadden (RB)
You can't knock the Raiders for taking the best running back in the draft, but you can knock them for doing it after giving Justin Fargas a three year deal and having Lamont Jordan and Dominic Rhodes on the roster. Still though, he's a prime talent and they made a good decision. Or should I say Al Davis did.
Grade: A -
Picks: Round 2 - Trevor Laws (DT), DeSean Jackson (WR)
The Eagles upgraded their defensive line with Laws who should be a great professional player. DeSean Jackson gives them a playmaker, but they still don't have a tall, physical possession receiver. Plenty of picks left to get one.
Grade: B+
Picks: Round 1 - Rashard Mendenhall, Round 2 - Limas Sweed (WR)
Although I think Willie Parker is one of the few backs in the NFL who should not be a part of a RB by committee, he has been an injury risk and Mendenhall fell right to them. It was a good pick and will be a fearsome duo. They also aimed to please Big Ben with the selection of Limas Sweed, a big tall receiver to replace the void left by Plaxico Burress.
Grade: A
Picks: Round 1 - Antoine Cason (CB)
I thought they might take an offensive lineman with this pick, but Antoine Cason is a great cornerback.
Grade: B+
Picks: Round 1 - Kentwan Balmer (DT), Round 2 - Chilo Rachal (OG)
I thought the 49ers would take one of the top tier QB's early since Alex Smith has been a disappointment, instead they improved their offensive and defensive lines -- something they sorely needed to do. Still many QB's left on the board for them to select.
Grade: B
Picks: Round 1 - Lawrence Jackson (DE), Round 2 - John Carlson (TE)
Why they didn't take Phillip Merling is beyond me, but Lawrence Jackson is still a solid defensive end. John Carlson gives them a great catching and blocking tight end.
Grade: B -
Picks: Round 1 - Chris Long (DE), Round 2 - Donnie Avery (WR)
Chris Long was the obvious pick in round one but Donnie Avery in round 2? There were so many better wide receivers on the board! Did the teams know something we didn't about the top receivers?
Grade: C
Picks: Round 1 - Aqib Talib (CB), Round 2 - Dexter Jackson (WR)
Aqib Talib perhaps would have been the best CB available was it not for his off the field problems. Dexter Jackson in round two? The definition of reach. What were they thinking?
Grade: C -
Picks: Round 1 - Chris Johnson (RB), Round 2 - Jason Jones (DE)
No wide receivers for Vince Young? Seriously? Chris Johnson is a great running back and Jason Jones a very capable defensive end, but why oh why wouldn't you have taken one of the top receivers with the top two picks especially after every single one fell to the second round?
Grade: D+
Picks: Round 2 - Devin Thomas (WR), Fred Davis (TE), Malcolm Kelly (WR)
No Chad Johnson? No problem! The Redskins get the best wide receiver in the draft in Devin Thomas, the next best one in Malcolm Kelly and a fantastic receiving tight end in Fred Davis. Hey Tennessee, this is what trying to help out your QB by giving him weapons looks like.
Grade: A

All In a Name: Obama's Simple Plan to Reach Out to Muslims
All In a Name: Obama's Simple Plan to Reach Out to Muslims
Just like all presidents before him, the President-elect plans to be sworn in using his full name: Barack Hussein Obama. Although Obama said that by using his full name, he's just doing what every other president did, he also told the Chicago Tribune, that he has a unique opportunity to renovate relations with the Muslim world. He hopes to "create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership in countries and with peoples of goodwill who want their citizens and ours to prosper together."
Obama's Muslim-community outreach won't end on Inauguration Day. The president-elect also plans to deliver a major address in an Islamic capital as president.
The election of the first African-American president with the middle name "Hussein" surely reveals an openness not seen in many other countries. Maybe all those Obama supporters who changed their middle names to Hussein on Facebook actually reduced the stigma, transforming the name from a campaign liability to a tool of US diplomacy.

Awards honor Henrico students
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 03/19/12
The Mills E. Godwin String Ensemble provided prelude music and the Highland Springs High School Choir/Ensemble provided choral music at the 45th Annual Brotherhood Sisterhood Youth Award Ceremony, held February 23 at The River Road Church, Baptist. Among the honorees were 20 Henrico County residents and students, including one recent immigrant to the United States from Myanmar (Burma).
Sponsored by the Interfaith Council of Greater Richmond, the awards annually honor students from local public, private and parochial schools who have schools who have been nominated by their school counselors, administrators and classmates for their efforts to improve human relations, enhance understanding among people of diverse backgrounds, and model empathy and caring for others.
At The Academy at Virginia Randolph, for instance, Elisabeth J. Hutson participates in the AVR Peer Mentoring Program, Jobs for America's Graduates, and Skills USA. She is known for her ability to be a team player, relate to others from diverse populations, and act as a voice of reason when conflict arises.
Justin Bartlett of Varina High School, who aspires to a career in educational leadership and administration, belongs to Key Club, Beta Club, and National Honor Society and works a part-time job at Famous Footwear. As president of the senior class and a member of the student congress, he is known for interacting well with other students and helping them to have their voices heard.
A volunteer for Angel Food Ministries, Raven Sharrieff of the Hanover Center for Trades and Technology also serves as the manager for the boys basketball and soccer teams. Her coaches say that Raven models appropriate encouragement and confidence and that the boys reflect the respect she demonstrates toward them. In addition to helping to care for a grandmother with Alzheimer's disease, she worked with a boy at summer basketball camp who has autism, helping him to build confidence and feel part of the team.
As chief reporter and lead anchor on the school news station at Hermitage Technical Center, Jordan Taylor has brought mentally, physically, and emotionally challenged children on air in the studio to have them assist with news broadcasts and to enhance their visibility in the community. He is also a teacher aide, a member of the Tech Ethics Society and Henrico County Division of Police Explorer Post #608, a mentor to physically and mentally handicapped
students, and a volunteer helper for students who are being bullied and harassed.
At The New Community School, John T. Whitty III is known for his kindness and polite ways, as well as his willingness to volunteer to help other students who need assistance or partners for projects. He is always ready to lend a hand when his peers need a big brother, friend, or classroom support person, and he knows how to intervene early in a situation and prevent confrontations.
A member of Project Diversity, a group that celebrates and showcases the diverse cultures and religions at Glen Allen High School, Soemi Nava-Ovalle is known as a calming influence during heated debates and for her ability to relate well to students from all backgrounds. After seeing some exceptional education students being bullied at school, Nava-Ovalle championed a campaign called Stand Up/Speak Out, which advocates for the rights of students with special needs.
Sarah Gaines Pearce founded the Campus Feminism Club at St. Catherine's School and is also an avid crusader for the campus Gay/Straight Alliance. With the Feminism Club, she leads a regular lunchtime conversation group, and works to bring in outside speakers, including a recent expert who spoke about the traditions of Muslim women.
Founder of the Earth Service Corps at Deep Run High School, Liesa Collins also is a youth group leader at Gayton Kirk Presbyterian Church and a youth elder for session meeting at her church. In addition to working with the Key Club, Student Congress and SODA, she volunteers at the YMCA and provides swim lessons to children of diverse backgrounds.
As junior class president at Godwin High School, Carter LaBoue was asked what the class officers' legacy should be, and responded that he wanted to be a member of the first senior class that would mentor freshmen rather than hazing him. In addition to leading the newly-created senior-freshman mentoring program, LaBoue made a point of walking around the cafeteria during the first week of school and starting up a conversation with anyone eating alone, then introducing students to each other and helping them establish connections.
Calyssa S. Baig of Highland Springs Technical Center has served in the Interact Club and as a class officer and Tech Center student ambassador. Known for her friendliness and her caring and giving spirit, she attended the Student Leadership Conference, served on the Homecoming Committee, volunteers at the food bank, and is a member of
the Technology Student Association.
At Northstar Academy, Chris McKenna has appointed himself the arbiter of birthdays. Whenever he knows of a student's birthday, he leads the cafeteria in song and celebration. A volunteer at St. Peter's Church homeless feeding program, McKenna helps welcome new and visiting students, assists middle school students who have behavior
difficulties at school, and encourages his peers to focus on their abilities rather than disabilities.
The captain of the lacrosse team at Freeman High School, Stephen Goddard is also a member of the National Honor Society and a volunteer for CARITAS. In addition to tutoring students at Maybeury Elementary School and at Freeman, he volunteers many hours coaching 10- to 12-year-olds at the Boys and Girls Club of Richmond, teaching youngsters not only how to be better athletes on the field but also how to apply lessons in off-the-field situations.
As a peer advisor and a coordinator of the MADE Mentoring program, Marshall Mayhew of St. Christopher's School shows his ninth-grade group that it is 'cool' to be open to ideas and opinions different from one's own. The faculty advisor of the peer mentoring group comments, "Reaching out to others is a natural part of who Marshall is. He selflessly and enthusiastically engages the younger guys in activities and discussions that help boost their self-confidence and self-awareness."
Jason Bass of Benedictine College Preparatory School has logged well over 100 hours of community service with organizations such as the Special Olympics, Police Athletic League, and The Salvation Army. Over the past three years, he has organized and spearheaded the Cheer for Gear campaign, which has collected more than $4,000 worth of sports equipment and athletic gear for low-income children who would otherwise be unable to participate in sports.
At J.R. Tucker High School, Valentina Vega founded and serves as president of the Latino Association for Personal Success (LAPS) club, which empowers Latino students and promotes their education. Valentina also tutors elementary through high school Arabic-speaking students in English, tutors French to other Tucker students, serves
as a bingo volunteer for senior citizens and is active in the Key Club and PTSA.
As co-chair of the student government at The Collegiate School, Jordan Lee is known as a skillful consensus-builder and unifier who excels at conflict resolution and works to include many voices while striving to represent them fairly and equally. He is also a member of the Mosaic Diversity Club, and serves as an ambassador and guest speaker at the Collegiate Emerging Leaders International Conference, welcoming and hosting students from 12 schools around the world.
Ellie Iverson of The Steward School is a member of the Stewardship Club and volunteers at the Skills Development Center, Patrick Henry's Promise and Northstar Academy.
"Ellie," said her nominators, "is the ideal role model for others on how to be an inclusive, caring friend to all. She encourages others to be giving and she herself has a low tolerance of self-centeredness."
When Jennifer Titus of Hermitage High School was offered a study hall due to a scheduling conflict, she refused it -- despite a rigorous course of studies and activites such as captaining the cheerleading squad and volunteering for Triangle II Community Service -- and asked to tutor exceptional students instead. "What separates Jennifer from
other students," said her nominator, "is her ability to see the person and not the disability. . . When the students see her in the classroom, they are very eager to work with her on various lessons or tasks."
After only three years in this country, Samuel Uk Ceu Lian of Henrico High School has become an inspiration to all the students in his ESL class. Active in the school's Spirit Club, he has become an interpreter for the Chin Community, a youth leader in his church, a varsity soccer player and a member of the robotics team. His peers know -- despite his struggles to learn not only content but also the language used both in and out of the classroom -- that he can be
counted on to try and defuse any situation and handle classroom disturbances with tact.
A student at Highland Springs High School, Andrew L. Compton uses his musical talents to brighten the lives of visitors to the homeless shelter at which he volunteers, as well as to lead youth worship at his church. He has traveled to Atlanta, Philadelphia and East Asia on mission trips, volunteers at the LAMB's Basket food bank, is president of the National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society, and is known among nursing home patients and students alike for his compassionate listening ear.
"Perhaps Andrew's most impressive quality," wrote a nominator, "is the humility that he displays in all things, knowing that he has much more to learn in his life, that he is not a perfect individual, and that every moment is a learning opportunity for the future."
County streamlining, expanding some GRTC routes in Henrico
By Ashlee Korlach, Special to the Citizen 07/28/2017 General NewsGovernment
Some of Henrico County's busiest GRTC bus routes will expand to include weekend service and will be regularly scheduled in 30- or 60-minute intervals, a Henrico Department of Public Works official told the county's Board of Supervisors earlier this month.
"This is about optimizing routes," County Manager John Vithoulkas said. > Read more.

Janet James, pastor
By Ashley Luck, Special to the Citizen 07/27/2017 General NewsReligion
Tennessee native Pastor Janet James of Gayton Kirk Presbyterian grew up in a small town surrounded by mountains in Eastern Tennessee called Dayton.
She grew up worshiping Baptist, but that soon changed when she attended college and explored her religious options. James attended a worship and music conference in 1989 in Montreat, N.C., that made her question her career choices. She could not stop studying and reading more about God and decided to go to career counseling. > Read more.

Monthly meetings of the Plainfield Volunteer Firefighters Association are held on the second Thursday of each month at 1900 (that's 7:00pm) at the Plainfield Public Safety Complex, 38 North Central Street. If you are interested in joining the Association and helping Plainfield's emergency responders, be sure to stop by our monthly meeting.
If you are interested in joining Plainfield Fire-EMS and becoming a firefighter, EMT, or medical first responder in Plainfield, or want to get involved in any way, be sure to stop by any Thursday evening.
See the calendar for dates of special events and of the next monthly meeting.
See below for news.
News and Events
PVFA launches 2016 fund drive
The Plainfield Volunteer Firefighters Association relies on donations from the general public to provide support to the volunteer Fire-EMS department in Plainfield. Please take a look at our latest fund drive letter, and consider a donation today.
PVFA elects officers and committee members, honors long-time service
At the PVFA's 2016 annual meeting, the Clinton Fiske committee recommended four people receive the Fiske award for their decades of service to the Fire-EMS department and to the PVFA. The membership agreed and honored Andy Stevens, Rob Shearer, Mert Taylor Jr., and Theresa Thatcher.
The PVFA membership elected John Westwood as President, Debbie Stevens as VP/Secretary, and Andy Stevens as Treasurer. The association elected Mert Taylor Jr. to a three-year term on the Clinton Fiske Committee, and re-elected Brian Hawthorne to a three-year term on the Boryta Committee.
New PVFA website is live
The Plainfield Volunteer Firefighters Association website (http://pvfa.org) has been updated to use Google Sites as of 10/9/2016. If you are reading this, then you are on the new website. This new website provides us with an easily updateable calendar of events and news page, and will also support members-only features for tracking project to-do lists. Google Sites is part of the Google for Non-profits product, which allows registered 501(c)3 organizations free access to Google's new G Suite.
PVFA has been proud to provide free web hosting space for the Town of Plainfield's Fire-EMS department for many years. The town now has its own official website. Much of the information that PVFA had been hosting on the website has now been moved to the Plainfield Fire-EMS section of the town's website, making clear the distinction between the non-profit Association and the town's Fire-EMS Department. This separation will make it easier for the town fire chief when applying for federal grants, and for the Association when soliciting donations from individuals and foundations.
2016 Fire Rescue Trailer is in service
Thanks to our many generous donors, PVFA was able to research, fund from donations, procure, and outfitted a custom 2016 U.S. Cargo 18' customized heated trailer (9900 lbs GVW, 4' side door, drop ramp) at no cost to the town. The trailer is now in service, and carries the 4x4 off-road rescue vehicle, Rescue Alive ice/water rescue sled and six cold water ice rescue suits, a generator, and other items.
Hampshire County EMS honors Plainfield responders at annual awards banquet, 5/19/2016
On May 19, 2016, Hampshire County Emergency Medical Services held its annual awards banquet to recognize personnel for years of service and to present awards for outstanding life saving efforts. Along with awards to many other area personnel, HC EMS presented "Save" awards to nine Plainfield responders for their mutual-aid efforts at a two-car head-on collision on Route 9 in Cummington in 2015. Police Chief Stacey Hudson, Fire Chief Dennis Thatcher, Fire Lieutenant Matthew Hardwick, Fire Lieutenant Merton Taylor Jr., Medical Officer/Firefighter/EMT Ellen Dupont, Firefighter/EMT Brian Hawthorne, Firefighter Claude Dupont, Firefighter Jamie Wooldridge, and Firefighter Tyler Shearer received awards, and were personally thanked by the driver whose life they helped save.
The Plainfield Volunteer Firefighters Association applauds the efforts of these dedicated volunteers. This story is a reminder of how much all of us in small towns rely on our neighbors. We salute the many Cummington Fire and Highland Ambulance personnel who were the primary responding companies on this call and who were also recognized, and we thank Cummington Fire Chief Bernard Forgea especially for his dedication, professionalism, and for honoring Plainfield's responders with these awards.
PVFA still needs a bit more help to outfit a Fire/EMS Rescue Trailer
The response to our 2015 annual fund drive letter has been heartwarming. Thank you, if you already donated! PVFA has ordered the rescue trailer, and it is now being built. Once we take delivery, there will be a need for a bit more money to cover final equipment and setup. For information on how you can help see the fund drive letter.
PVFA Annual Meeting held on Nov 12, 2015
The annual meeting of PVFA was held on Thursday, Nov 12, 2015 at the Plainfield Public Safety Complex. Debbie Stevens was reelected President, John Westwood was reelected Vice-President/Secretary, and Andy Stevens was reelected Treasurer of the Association.
PVFA purchases thermal imager, gear rack, and equipment for brush truck, 2015
Over the past few years, the annual PVFA fund drive has raised funds for outfitting a new brush truck, updating a thermal imager, and many other important needs.
The brush truck is used for fighting wildland fires and for access to otherwise inaccessible places. PVFA purchased a new brush guard frame and winching system at a cost of $2600 to complete the outfitting of this piece of equipment.
PVFA purchased a new Argus Mi Thermal Imaging Camera with extended warranty at a cost $9500, to replace the fire department's aging thermal imager.
PVFA purchased a new gear storage facility that is now fully in use at a cost of $2700. This system allows gear to dry more quickly after a fire, helping to make the gear last longer.
PVFA Annual Meeting held on Nov 13, 2014
The annual meeting of PVFA was held on Thursday, Nov 13, 2014 at the Plainfield Public Safety Complex. Debbie Stevens was elected President, John Westwood was reelected Vice-President/Secretary, and Andy Stevens was reelected Treasurer of the Association.
Ashfield Structure Fire Water Supply Post-Incident Review on January 8, 2014 at 1900

Im a new grad in the field of phlebotomy.I was told to get a job sooner then later my best bet would be to volunteer and get more draw's and then employers will start to notice you.
My question is does anyone know of any hospitals or anywhere in or around the chicago area preferably the suburbs like around chicago heights, steger, olympia fields, matteson, area but willing to travel.I just need to find a site that will allow me to volunteer so my skills at least dont diminish while i am looking for employment thanx.

I have talk to the Red Cross as well as tried to find a company to get hired through to do health fairs. I have also called the hospitals,blood banks,plasma donation centers and everything in between. I have done everything I can do including calling my school and asking them for some help finding some place I can volunteer and I have run in to a brick wall every time I turn around. I am a Nationally Certified CPT-1 as well as a Nationally Certified Medical Assistant, I also feel like I have wasted my money!! There are literally no employers who are willing to hire new grads including the teaching hospitals(I know because I have checked). Does anyone have any other suggestions so I can get the experience that I need to have a career and utilize my education.

To all of you new phlebos looking for jobs, don't give up! Luck is one component in the job search, but the most important, I found, is you. You absolutely MUST have a professional resume that puts you and your skills "out there" and gets you noticed. For example, you don't just have "phlebotomy skills," you have "outstanding" skills. Write a cover letter that engages the reader and makes them want to meet you and give you an interview. For those of you looking to get more experience, learn to use a Cholestech machine if you want to work for a wellness screening company like Hooper Holmes or United Health. That is the key to getting your foot in the door there. Hang in there. The jobs are out there, but I know it's hard to get one without experience. That's where your confidence and personality come in!

Volunteering is an excellent way to get work experience and given the state of today's market where almost every employer considers work experience a must, I would say it's a no-brainer really. I found this article on the matter:
It may be handy for those looking to volunteer as a phlebotomist.
But beyond getting experience, as a volunteer or in any other way, to finally land a job one will need to deploy a professional resume a cover letter and even prepare for the interview. I would go as far as to give employers a call or even stop by trying to "sell" myself. In my opinion, it's not the certificate that gets you the job or the CEDs you might have or pursue if you don't. They are obviously important but in most cases it's your personality and overall presence that makes a difference.
A lot of people have the skills required to perform phlebotomy procedures but not everyone is as capable in greeting patients, addressing problems fast, communicating with his/her co-workers etc.
My point is one should try to STAND OUT. And that's not easily or at least, not solely done by obtaining more experience and credentials...
