Hoboken University Medical Center was named the mile-square city's Business of the Year at the second Annual Chamber of Commerce Business Awards on Thursday night, placing the finishing touches on a year of success that included the hospital's 150th anniversary in October.
Paul Walker, the hospital's chief executive officer, accepted the award on behalf of the staff. He said they were proud to continue serving Hoboken after overcoming several years of struggling to stay financially afloat. Walker also had high praise for his audience.
"In my career, I've been a part of Chambers in Philadelphia, Charlotte, Miami, West Palm Beach and Birmingham, Alabama, but I've never been part of anything as enthusiastic and vibrant as Hoboken," he said.
The hospital beat out Stevens Institute of Technology and the Monroe Arts Center for the evening's top award. Dino & Harry's won Restaurant of the Year after being nominated in 2012, and Bijou Properties, which cut the ribbon on the environmentally friendly Edge Lofts development earlier this year, won the new Green Business of the Year award.
"I've never been part of anything as enthusiastic and vibrant as Hoboken." – Paul Walker
'It's very Hoboken'
The awards celebrated businesses new and old. While Pilsener Haus Biergarten won New Business of the Year, 108-year-old Muller Insurance took home the Uniquely Hoboken business of the year.
Roger Muller, who co-owns the business that his grandfather started in 1906 with his sister Erika, said he greatly admired the other nominees in the category but surmised that history was on his side.
"I was totally caught off guard by this and I think so highly of [longlasting businesses] Biggie's and Maxwell's, but I guess there's not a lot that's more uniquely Hoboken then being here for over 100 years," he said afterwards.
Michele Litzky of the waterfront Litzky Public Relations firm won the Woman in Business award. She said later that the awards spoke highly the business community's inclusive nature.
"I think the people in this city embrace business, whether they're being started by females or young people and anyone else who wants to work hard and succeed, and that's where rewards like this come from," she said.
Scott Delea accepted the Community Service of the Year award for his organization Party With Purpose, which produces events that raise money for charity, and echoed Litzky's location-specific business sentiment.
"I love that we have an award that combines service and business. It's very Hoboken," he said. "A true community is one that grows together out of all aspects, like business, government, and service, and the result is a place where everybody wins."
Overcoming Sandy
Haven Savings Bank and Liberty Realty, which rounded out the evening by taking home the Financial Institution of the Year and Real Estate Office of the Year, respectively, were recognized especially for their different but important efforts in helping Hoboken recover from Sandy.
No one from Haven was able to attend the ceremony, but emcee Eugene Flinn (who owns Amanda's and the Elysian Cafe) praised the bank for donating $250,000 to the city's relief fund in Sandy's aftermath. And Michael Klein, accepting Liberty's award, issued a rallying cry for post-hurricane Hoboken.
"After Sandy, everyone really thought we were done for, but we've seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in sales this year and that's great for our town," he said. "People still want to come here."
In many ways, the entire evening stood in stark contrast to last year's awards, which were held only a month after the storm, when some businesses had yet to reopen. On Thursday, the atmosphere in the Elks Hall was more festive.
Greg Dell'Aquila, the Chamber's president, said he thought the performance of many businesses this year demonstrated a devotion not only "to the value of a dollar, but inspiration, courage, growth and mostly contribution – everything it means to be an outstanding member of a community."
Mayor's plans
Mayor Dawn Zimmer, won reelection two weeks ago, was on hand for much of the evening, handing out several awards and thanking business owners for their efforts to fuel Sandy recovery. She also laid out an ambitious plan to redesign Washington Street, and invited the audience to a to-be-scheduled public meeting to weigh in on the project.
"I'm looking forward to working together on this and really thinking about what we can do to make this a great street," she said.

Another great view into real world design and prototyping by Catapult Design—this time from industrial designer Noel Wilson. Reposted with permission from Catapult's blog, originally published here.
The value of a prototype is in what it can test. It isn't always necessary to make it pretty, nor to make it function, it totally depends on what you are trying to learn from it. On a frugal budget, be it of time or funds, one prototype can be made to test many things, and then adapted again to test even more…but really prototypes were made to be broken, and if they last too long it is a sign you're either not testing them hard enough or you've become too attached. I admit…after sweating over prototypes late into the night in my makeshift workshops (set up in hallways, bedrooms, bathrooms etc) and scrutinizing them for days or weeks, it is hard to let them go, let alone batter them until they fail. But tough love is justified in this case
– Preparing for the next day's prototyping
On this trip I was headed to Rajasthan with Wello to visit a mix of communities around Jodhpur & Udaipur to tune their device to better suit peoples needs and environment (see our Wello project page). I had to carry my kit on some challenging modes of transport to slice, melt, join, flatten, form, twist and repair our prototypes as we broke them.

Above: See that goofball smile? That's my happy-cuz-I'm-steamboating face. Friends might tell you I look like that a lot. Fair cop. Really good friends will be able to tell the subtle differences between my various goofball happy-cuz-I'm- <insert other food activity> faces.
Why does the phrase "in the soup" mean that you're in trouble?
For me, being in the soup -- of hotpot or steamboat or nabe or shabu shabu or Chinese fondue (whatever you call it where you are) -- is the best way for me to transcend the muck of any internal trouble I'm feeling. It's like a jacuzzi for the soul.
Maybe the savoury hot broth helps to melt away internal emotional blockages. Maybe the community warmth and fuzziness of a table full of people cooking, chatting, laughing and eating around a steaming cauldron on a chilly evening (or even steamy tropical heat, really) softens emotional bristly-ness.
Maybe just to gaze upon the annual Soh family epic steamboat spread during Chinese New Year (below) is enough to make me cackle any crankiness away.
I can't imagine I'm the lone believer in the magical restorative abilities of steamboat. Why else would it have popped up in so many nooks and crannies of this big wide world during our 15 months on the road? And sometimes in the most unlikely of corners?
Okay, so maybe it has something to do with the unstoppable sprawl of commodity-hungry, infrastructure-building savvy Chinese diaspora around the world, and steamboat being the perfect product to pitch to homesick overseas Chinese communities. But why let facts get in the way of a good story, eh.
So how unlikely are these unlikely steamboat satellites?
Well. How about Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania, for a start?
At Beautiful China (Mhasibu House, NBAA, Bibititi Mohamed Rd; +255 22 215 0548), a steamboat feast was quite the treat after volunteering on a farm in rural western Kenya without electricity or running water.
We didn't order the extent of this feast (below) on purpose. Really! This is what we got after calling ahead just to say we wanted hotpot. The table next to us had the same amount of food. Except their table had 8 people, vs our 2. Still, we made more progress than I care to admit...
Thanks so much to G*Star for sending us this lead.
Another unlikely steamboat satellite was amid the blazing deserts of Abu Dhabi in the UAE.
Far from the glitzy resorts and shopping malls, Qian Zhou Hotpot (Nadja Street, Al Markaziyah West; +971 2 674 5677) is a hidden soupy oasis, with good quality broth, fresh and authentic produce, and an impressive array of dipping sauces for you to use individually or to create a DIY-custom blend. Again, this was a lovely recharge of something familiar and comforting after a month of stuffing our faces with delectable but heavier meats, rices and mezzes of Syria, Jordan and Egypt.
Thanks so much to Louise and Herbert for hunting down this location for us and taking us there and treating us to boot!
Above: See? There's that goofy smile again
Asia is no surprise territory for steamboat. Or so I thought.
In Hanoi, Vietnam, I was utterly delighted by Kichi-Kichi Hotpot (1A Tang Bat Ho, Hai Bà Tru'ng) because it combined hotpot AND a kaiten aka sushi-style conveyor belt. Which means you can slurp away and watch a world (of temptations) go by. Be still my beating heart.
Your fixed fee of under £10 gets you unlimited access to soup stock and anything on the belt. Drinks and premium food items for your cauldron are extra. I found the basic belt spread to be pretty satisfactory, frankly.
Food aside, I ate at Kichi-Kichi with very mixed feelings. Circa 2007 I had a pipe dream to launch this exact restaurant concept in London. So I was very frustrated to see that someone else got to it first, but elated to see that the concept is obviously viable -- the place was packed to the gills when we were there and Kichi-Kichi apparently has quite a few other outlets around Hanoi.
Big props to Our Man in Vietnam Steve Jackson, through whom I found Kichi-Kichi.
While in Kyoto, Japan, our merry Solihull crew of 6 spent an evening sampling sumo-style steamboat (say it 6 times swiftly!) at Tian Shan Sumo (3, 4, Yamatooji, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto Hakatacho, 605-0805; +81 75-561-7378).
Be prepared to pay between £40-50 per person, but you will be stuffed silly by the end of the evening with impeccable produce and service.
While waiting for your streaky meat to scald, sip on some sake or beer and pick your object of sumo-star aspiration from the posters plastered to the walls.
Shoutout to Team Dom!
You have a choice of letting the waitstaff fuss over you, or you can get involved yourself. Our mate Chris reckons the experience is enhanced by you making "shabooooo shaboooo" sound effects as your swish around your paper-thin beef slices in the soup.
And then there are the steamboat soirees money just can't buy.
Like the one on Wednesdays at the Chinese food resto-canteen at Google HQ in Mountain View, California USA. If you don't work at Google you can't pay money to eat here, but if you've got a friend at Google who likes you enough, you eat for free!
The range of steamboat dishes here was understandably more limited and basic compared to a commercial steamboat restaurant, but because Google works hard to source canteen food ingredients from local farmers, the freshness of the meats and vegetables were top notch.
Many thanks to Gus and Basil (and Larry and Sergei) for a very special steamboat lunch, complete with a view of some hyper-geeky meeting rooms!)
Love also always trumps money at the steamboat soirees hosted by your fabulous friends and their families. So to the Hans, Foxy Foong and "Hollow Legs" Jas and her ever-patient Dom, much much much love.
So once Babs and I settled back into London town after the big gallavant, it was no stretch to believe that steamboat would be a fabulous way to get together with a few London foodbloggers and get to know our London foodie community a little better.
Little Lamb (72 Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 6NA; +44 20 7287 8078) in Chinatown is a humble non-descript looking outfit, but when I was homesick for Singapore this past Chinese New Year and feeling in a bit of a funk about work, this Mary had a Little Lamb, and damn it saved my life! (Kudos to reviews by Meemalee and Tamarind and Thyme, whose reviews inspired me to go.)
You can order ala carte, or you and your mates can go for the £20 pax set meal, where each person gets to pick 5 generously-sized dishes.
I was sceptical about the blue swimmer crabs on my first visit, but tried them on my second. They turned out to be surprisingly fresh and meaty, keeping some bite rather than disintigrating into powdery mush after cooking in the broth.
The varied marbling on the beef, pork and lamb slices are a work of art.
Bubble bubble, toil and trouble begone!
The meat skewers are also definitely worth a try -- lots of tantalising chili pepper and cumin spicing.
And now to close, shoutouts to the very sporting food blogger folks who ventured out for a steamy good time despite it being a ludicruously sunshiny day in London! Thank God for Gelupo afterwards.
Here's Aaron of The Grubworm and Su-Lin of Tamarind and Thyme, one a very fast-learning steamboat acolyte, the other a veteran!
My homegirls Eunice of Heaven in a Wild Flower, and Rachel of The Pleasure Monger, both looking fresh as flowers as usual despite steamboating up a storm!
And last but not least here are the very bubbly Kay of From Chopstix 2 Steaknives and Kavey of Kavey Eats, momentarily in intense concentration!
Remember folks, when life gets you in the soup, the get in the soup gooooooood, get all souped up and then get back in the game. Better yet, have a few friends along. The killer combination of broth and brethren will surely pick you right up and set you off steaming ahead again. Wherever in the world you might be.
So tell me, where's your favourite hotpot haven in the world?

Business briefs: GlaxoSmithKline, Burson-Marsteller
GlaxoSmithKline's Wednesday earnings announcement opened with CEO Andrew Witty saying the company was entering the year with "the potential to launch 15 new drugs" between now and 2016. Witty also said in a statement that 2013 will be the basis for "what should be a series of growth years for GSK." The company's fourth quarter closed with $11 billion in sales, flat against the same period last year. GSK saw 2012 sales slide 1% for the year, to $41 billion. Pharmaceutical and vaccine sales slid 2% during the quarter and 2% during the year. Consumer sales were flat for the quarter and for the year, although GSK said US consumer sales rose 2% while Europe's were flat. The company attributed this performance partly to the economy, but also to what it called "the drag from Alli," the over-the-counter weight-loss drug that it hasn't been able to cleave from its portfolio.
PR firm Burson-Marsteller made a pair of appointments, announcing that the ex-Cord Blood Registry chief marketing officer David Zitlow will chair its US healthcare practice while Lisa Davidson, who has led the New York healthcare team since 2009, becomes US deputy chair. Zitlow's background includes a stint as EVP of the healthcare practice for GolinHarris. Davidson previously headed up the healthcare practice at Porter Novelli, where she was a partner.

DUE WEST, S.C. – The King University men's soccer team faced the tough challenge of taking on Erskine College on the road. The Tornado had scoring chances though out the game, but couldn't push a goal across as they fell to the Flying Fleet 3-0.
Ryan Murphy started the attack for King in the fifth minute as he tested the Flying Fleet goalkeeper with a shot that was turned away. Eli Carrasco followed with a shot in the 10th minute, but the attempt sailed just high of the crossbar. Thomas Dube had another chance in the 34th minute, but his shot was saved as well to keep the game scoreless.
Erskine (5-4-1, 3-0 CC) then moved play to the other end the field and Andrew Settlemire gave the Flying Fleet the lead in the 35th minute. He took a pass from Luke Boyce on the goal line and slipped his shot past the goal keeper, giving Erskine the 1-0 lead.
The score remained that way at halftime, and the Flying Fleet continued to pressure King's defense in the second half. Erskine ripped three shots in the first five minutes, but Kari Sveinsson came up with a save on the final shot attempt to keep King (1-7-1, 1-3 CC) within one.
However, Ross Henderson extended the lead to 2-0 when he scored on a free kick in the 69th minute. Settlemire stretched the lead to 3-0 with his second goal of the game in the 75th minute as he took a cross in front of the goal.
The Tornado had a pair of shots saved in the final minutes, but couldn't push one across the goal line as Erskine took the contest 3-0.
The Flying Fleet registered 18 shots to King's nine. However, seven of King's shots were placed on goal. Erskine held the Tornado without a corner kick while taking five of their own in the win.
King will be in action again on Saturday when they host Lees-McRae College at 3:00 p.m., at Parks Field.

4790 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222
(800) 822-4639 (317) 492-6700 Mon-Fri, 9a.m.-5p.m. ET
Graham Hill was a key member of a wave of international drivers who tested their skill at the Indianapolis 500 in the 1960s. He holds the unique distinction of being the only driver who has won the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Formula 1 world championship.
By modern standards Hill started racing late in his life. Born in London in 1929, Hill didn't even acquire a license for driving on the street until he was 24 years old. He began racing in 1954 and shortly thereafter started working as a mechanic for Lotus, on both production and racing cars. He also raced Lotus sports cars on the weekend, and by 1958, Lotus founder Colin Chapman selected Hill to drive for the Team Lotus Formula 1 effort.
Hill joined BRM in 1960 and in 1962 he won the first of his two F1 championship crowns. Meanwhile, Lotus began competing in the Indianapolis 500 and won the race with Jim Clark in 1965. That success - the first at Indianapolis for a rear-engine car - prompted a wave of copycat designs, including the Lolas entered by oil magnate John Mecom and prepared by legendary crew chief George Bignotti.
Hill was brought in as a last-minute replacement by Mecom when contracted driver Walt Hangsen was killed in testing at Le Mans. He was teamed with Jackie Stewart (then an up-and-coming F1 star and the other major international rookie at Indy) and two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Rodger Ward.
In his autobiography, Hill admitted that he had to overcome some mental hurdles before getting up to speed at Indianapolis, which was his first oval racing experience. He qualified 15th, on the outside of the fifth row, and just managed to miss out on one of the biggest start-line accidents in the history of the Indianapolis 500.
"There were cars in pieces all over the place, bits tumbling out of the sky and all hell was let loose," Hill recalled in Graham. "Eleven cars were demolished and I just managed to get through this whirling mass of destruction with one other car on my tail. We were the last two cars to get clear."
The accident took out many top contenders, including AJ Foyt and Dan Gurney; pole winner Mario Andretti retired early with a blown engine. Lloyd Ruby was the last of the American contenders, but engine trouble eliminated him at three-quarters distance.
Stewart emerged with a clear lead, but there was doubt about whether Hill or Clark was running second. Clark had spun on two occasions earlier in the race, causing confusion among the scorers. When Stewart's engine lost oil pressure and he parked with eight laps to go, Hill was designated the leader and he crossed the line 41.13 seconds ahead of Clark.
Hill wrote: "While I was on the winner's dais one of the officials came up and suggested that it was possible that I might not be the winner. I knew I'd beaten Jimmy - so I just looked at this questioning chap deadpan and said: 'No way, mate -- I drank the milk!' Then blow me if Jimmy didn't come in half a lap later and drive into the winner's circle thinking he'd won."
A known raconteur, Hill brought down the house at the Victory Banquet. Poking fun at the number of contingency sponsors, he quipped: "Jimmy and I are thinking of sponsoring an award for the top finishing American next year!"
And while he enjoyed the winner's check for $156,297, an Indianapolis 500 tradition that peaked in that era made the biggest impression on him.
"The incredible thing is that within minutes they presented me with a newspaper with the headline --GRAHAM HILL THE WINNER -- across the front page complete with photographs," he wrote. "I don't know how they managed it but I was terribly impressed. When the prize-giving came round they capped it by giving me the actual metal printer's plate of that front page and it's something I have treasured ever since."
Hill rejoined Team Lotus in 1967 and joined Clark in the team's Indianapolis 500 lineup, but both men finished at the pack of the field after losing engines. Hill returned with Lotus in 1968 driving the wedge-shaped STP Turbine car, but a suspension failure caused him to crash out of his last Indianapolis 500 on the 111th lap.
Hill won the 1968 F1 World Championship for Lotus but suffered severe legs injuries when he crashed at Watkins Glen during the 1969 U.S. Grand Prix. He returned to Formula 1 in 1970 as an owner/driver and transitioned into full-time team ownership by 1975. The most notable achievement of the latter part of Hill's career was his victory for Matra-Simca in the 1972 24 Hours of Le Mans teamed with Henri Pescarolo.
Hill died in November 1975 when the plane he was piloting crashed in fog on its landing approach. His son Damon went on to win the F1 championship in 1996.

Unlike the big to-do made of Donovan McNabb's contract restructuring last week, Monday Night Football analyst Ron Jaworski doesn't think it's such a big deal.
"I think it's irrelevant, to tell you the truth," Jaworski said while sitting in his office at NFL Films last week in Mount Laurel.
Jaworski was participating as an instructor in last week's 3rd annual NFL Broadcast Boot Camp for present and former players looking to break into television and radio.
"Donovan had two years left on his contract. I felt all along that he would fulfill the two years. The Eagles probably did the right thing, they had money under the cap and they gave it to a guy who is a big key to season.
"If you're going to be a championship team, your team has to play well. There have been times, occasionally, that an average quarterback wins a Super Bowl. But it's all about what's your best chance to win a Super Bowl … Their best chance is with Donovan McNabb," Jaworski said.
As a former Eagles Pro Bowl quarterback, Jaworski can understand why it was important for McNabb's mental state to re-work his contract.
"I would think that they believe in me," Jaworski said. "They believe I'm the guy. They laid 5 million on my lap. They could have easily said to play the next two years how the contract is."
With a healthy – and happy – quarterback, Jaworski thinks that the Eagles offense will operate a little more smoothly this year. Aside from McNabb, the upgrades on the offensive line and at receiver can't hurt. But a lot depends on how the team's collective personality jells.
Jaworski knows that each new player brings a new dimension to the locker room.
"Although I think there have been upgrades in the talent and youth, chemistry is always the unknown," he noted. "You look at the offensive line and they are huge – but can those 5 work as one?"
In the end, Jaworski thinks that the Eagles will be standing at the top of the NFC East standings at the end of the upcoming season – despite changes abound to opponents' rosters.
"Although I think the Eagles are a better football team … [the division is] my biggest concern. The Giants are a heck of a football team. You're going to have to contend with Albert Haynesworth in Washington. Dallas is still a very talented football team. I think the NFC East is a hell of a division.
"I still like the Eagles."

From the ex-Eagles file, Sean Considine has been penciled in as the starting strong safety for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"I wanted the opportunity to start when I first went in and talked to them," Considine told the Rockford Register Star in his hometown in Illinois. "They told me I would be given that chance, and the rest is up to me. Their defense is quite a bit different from what I'm used to, though. There are a lot of adjustments I still need to make."

Victoria and Albert Museum, British museum that houses what is generally regarded as the world's greatest collection of the decorative arts. It is located in South Kensington, London, near the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum.
The foundation of the museum dates from 1852, when the British government established the Museum of Manufacturers in Marlborough House, St. James. This museum largely housed a collection of decorative arts objects that had been displayed at the Crystal Palace, which housed the Great Exhibition of 1851. The items were transferred to the South Kensington Museum and redisplayed in 1857 as part of a government effort to improve taste and knowledge among those concerned with British manufactures. The collection soon outgrew its premises, and plans for a new museum were developed. The museum was renamed the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1899, when Queen Victoria laid the cornerstone for the present building, designed by Sir Aston Webb. This structure opened in 1909. Since then the museum's premises have been modified and extended, partly into adjacent buildings. The Victoria and Albert Museum is also responsible for two other museums in London: the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood, in the borough of Tower Hamlets; and the Wellington Museum, in Apsley House, at the southeastern corner of Hyde Park. The Theatre Museum, near Covent Garden, Westminster, was a branch of the Victoria and Albert Museum until January 2007, when it closed.
The Victoria and Albert Museum houses vast tableaux of European sculpture, ceramics (including porcelain and other pottery), furniture, metalwork, jewelry, and textiles from early medieval times to the present day. It includes the Jones bequest of French furniture, porcelain, and other objets d'art; the Schreiber group of English ceramics, enamelwork, and glass; the Currie collection, containing fine Italian and French arms and armour; and 18th-century German porcelain that forms part of the Murray collection. There are strong sets of Indian art, which were given an early impetus with the acquisition of materials from the East India Company's museum after it was closed in 1858. The East Asian artworks include remarkable Chinese ceramics, jade, and sculpture from the Eumorfopoulos collection. The museum also houses the national collection of British watercolours, miniatures, prints, and drawings, among which is an outstanding group of works by John Constable. The Italian Renaissance and Baroque sculptures are some of the best outside Italy. The museum also houses the National Art Library.

Overview of OCR Compliance and Enforcment Program
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in the U.S. Department of Education (ED) is responsible for enforcing five federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability and age by recipients of federal financial assistance. These laws are:
- Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (prohibiting discrimination based on race, color and national origin);
- Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (prohibiting sex discrimination);
- Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (prohibiting disability discrimination);
- The Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (prohibiting age discrimination); and
- Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (prohibiting disability discrimination by public entities, e.g., public elementary and secondary school systems, postsecondary schools, and vocational education programs, whether or not they receive federal financial assistance).
In addition, OCR enforces the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act. Under the Act, no public elementary school, public secondary school, or state or local education agency that provides an opportunity for one or more outside youth or community groups to meet on school premises or in school facilities shall deny equal access or a fair opportunity to meet, or discriminate against, any group officially affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America or any other youth group listed as a patriotic society in Title 36 of the United States Code.
These civil rights laws represent a national commitment to end discrimination in education programs. Since most educational institutions receive some type of federal financial assistance, these laws apply throughout the nation.
Coverage of these civil rights laws extends to:
- 14,859 school districts;1
- 4,197 colleges and universities;2
- 5,059 institutions conferring certificates below the associate degree level, such as training schools for truck drivers and cosmetologists;3 and
- thousands of other entities, such as libraries, museums, and vocational rehabilitation agencies.
Consequently, these civil rights laws protect millions of students attending or seeking to attend our educational institutions. In certain situations, the laws also protect persons who are employed or seeking employment at educational institutions. Overall, these laws protect:
- nearly 54.3 million students attending elementary and secondary schools;4 and
- nearly 16.4 million students attending colleges and universities.5
Enforcing these laws is critical to carrying out the mission of the U.S. Department of Education — ensuring equal access to education and promoting educational excellence throughout the nation.
In FY 2003, OCR's budget was $85,715,000, with full time equivalent (FTE) staff of 672. See Figure 1 on historical funding and FTE.

AMD looking into underclocking issue caused by Crimson Edition driver
AMD's big Crimson Edition driver launched a few weeks ago with many major changes and feature additions. As is often the case with significant releases such as this, there have been problems. First there was the fan speed issue, and now reports have surfaced about an underclocking issue caused by the driver.
Asked about the issue on Twitter, AMD yesterday stated it's aware of it and investigating. The fan issue was resolved very quickly with a hotfix driver, so the same is likely here. In the meantime, if you find yourself experiencing it and/or stutter in games, AMD says you can get around it by reverting to Catalyst 15.11.1 Beta or 15.7.1 WHQL drivers.

NBA handles Twitter threats sent to Wizards
NBA handles Twitter threats sent to Wizards
May. 01, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Wizards say the NBA has investigated a person who made threats to the team on Twitter after the first-round series win against the Chicago Bulls.
Polish center Marcin Gortat said on Thursday after practice there was "one gentleman who really threatened us, actually made some terrorist threats to us."
Gortat said "he was saying there was a bomb on the plane and stuff, that my country's going to get bombed and all my family's going to die, just stuff like that."
The tweets came after the Wizards' Game 2 win in Chicago last week.
Wizards spokesman Scott Hall said the matter was turned over to the league. Added Gortat: "Some people already visited him."
The NBA said it doesn't comment on security matters.

Great Color Corrector
I was given this as a gift and love it! I have uneven skin tone and it defiantly helps take away any appearance of uneven skin tone and helps prep my skin for my foundation.
Reordered a full size after using the sample. I have extremely dry skin and it keeps my skin hydrated all day while covering redness. I use it with Stila cc cream and it works better than some of the high-end foundations!
Absolutely Love!!
This is my favorite product!! I bought it, but was skeptical at first how it could work! I was absolutely amazed by it!! It covers up all redness, any flaw, it a great mostuzer, primer, and my makeup stays perfect all day!! I use it every single day before I put my make up on! Its a product I can't live without!
When I first bought this, I was unsure at first if I was going to like. I didn't know how colors mixed could possibly work, but I tried it. I absolutely love it!! I use it every single day before I put my makeup on. It covers up any flaw and redness and it is a wonderful moistuizer. It sets my makeup and it stays perfect all day and never wears off. This is one product I can't live without. Its amazing!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! My makeup bag is never complete without it. I have been using this for over a year now and my skin looks amazing! I get compliments all the time on my makeup, and im not even wearing foundation! Its amazing. Best product ive ever found!
Love This Stuff
Please don't ever stop making this product. I have fair skin with a lot of redness. This product evens out my skin tone like no other product I've tried. I love the way it brightens my complexion too. It is so light. Works great underneath my foundation.
As someone who has dark eyes and has red tones in their skin, this is literally the best toner I've ever used. It evens my skin instantly and the bottle lasts for months. For those days when I couldn't be bothered with make-up, I would always wear this instead and my skin would look perfect.
One word...Love
This is my all time favorite product that Stila makes. It works wonders for my red undertone and sensitive skin. It evens out my complexion within seconds of applying it and leaves behind soft touchable skin. I love this product and will purchase it as long as Stila provides it!
Great product!
This is a fantastic primer and it leaves your skin feeling AMAZING! Worth the cost. It you buy the "best sellers set" which includes a liquid lipstick and eyeliner it's a total steal!
Not the best but,
I purchased this because my place of purchase said the CC Colour Correcting Cream was discontinued. On it's own, the One Step Correct didn't do very much; my redness and minor flaws still showed as though I had bare skin. However, when mixed with the Stay All Day 10-in-1 my skin is flawless! Shame I have to spend twice as much to get the same effect when I used the CC Colour Correcting Cream.
I have wasted money too many times on skin tone correcting products that claimed to do so much but didn't come close. I am so excited that I found this and that it actually works perfect for me! I am able to wear it alone and with other make up products and I absolutely love it. For me personally, this is a "miracle worker". Please don't discontinue or change this make-up's formula in any way. ♡
Fantastic product!
I like many of you saw this product and was intrigued by the bottle and was curious to how it would work for me. It works great for me. I am Latina have have a tan complexion with some red spots on my cheeks. The corrector works wonders at evening my skin tone and making my makeup last all day. A small amount goes a long way, I have had the same bottle for 4 months and have 1/3 of the bottle remaining. It goes on smoothly and does not clog my pores. The price is a little hefty for the amount you get but it's well worth it! I will continue to use this product along with many other of my favorite Stila products!
Amazing Amazing Amazing
I was at a beauty store mulling over many many products trying to find something that would minimize the appearance of my pores (I often find my foundation sinks into my pores creating a "dotted" appearance), reduce redness (I have pink/red undertones that are very noticeable), and reduce my natural oiliness (I look like I'm slathered in grease usually by mid-day). The lady that was helping me let me try this product on half my face to get a feel for what it would do. It went on so smooth, it was hydrating and it dried to a nice matte finish. I wasn't initially impressed, because the difference wasn't immediately apparent, but my sister came over and noticed right away. The lady then used Stila's 10 in 1 HD illuminating Beauty Balm and the look was flawless. I no longer look red in pictures, and I've even had friends comment that my makeup looks perfect/airbrushed. This Combo has saved my life and I've even noticed long term effects as I am finishing up my first bottle. (I use two squirts for my whole face but have a LOT of redness & deep pores.) My pores have actually shrunk a bit and I haven't had any breakouts aside from typical horomones, and my forehead lines have improved. I LOVE this product!! It's a must have for anyone. You can obviously use less product if you don't have as many blemishes and enjoy the many many benefits of this product! I truely hope this is on the shelves for the rest of my life!
Helps with rosacea redness
I have very fair skin (NC15) with moderate rosacea. My skin is also extremely reactive and sensitive, so I am wary to try new products. I had been eyeing this product for some time, and had a chance to try it at a local store, and it felt so soothing on my skin, I purchased a bottle. I now use it daily. This stuff is great. It is a great makeup base and really helps to even out redness before applying foundation. I still have to use some more targeted concealer on some problem areas, but in general, this product does a great job evening the redness out without leaving a green sheen all over my face as other color correcting primers have done. But, what I really love is the cool, soothing texture. No break outs, no rash, no burning eyes, no balling up of product under foundation - in fact with this my makeup lasts all day. This is a great product, and I intend to buy again when my first bottle runs out. Thanks, Stila.
my favorite primer!
Great product! I use it even when I don't wear make up. Easy to happy. I just use my fingers and boom! Done. It really help correct some of the flaws in my skin. This is a must have!!!
I LOVE this
Please don't EVER stop making this! I <3 it so much!
green monster
ok this product made my face look green and gooey (like shrek) and i do have redness and blemishes to cover. it's a total waste of money and the bottle is really small for the price.
A must have!
This is a must have for anyone with oily skin. I have really oily skin and have to be pretty selective of the products that I use on my face because most products will make it worse. One Step Correct actually really helps control oil all day as well as helps to smooth out my skin for a more flawless foundation. Well worth it!
Maybe if I had something to conceal...
I have clear skin and hoped that this product would even out my coloring since I don't need to use foundation or concealer. It feels AMAZING going on, but I didn't really notice a difference in how my skin looked. Maybe if I had redness or uneven coloring if would have been more beneficial... bottom line: don't buy this unless you actually need it. :)
I wanted to like this but.......
I was so excited to find a corrector and primer in one bottle. I am very disappointed. The bottle is great looking, the product looks cool inside but thats where the love ends. I have fair skin with red spots on the tops of my cheeks. This corrector feels GREAT going on but it doesn't do anything for me. The red spots are not reduced, the surface of my skin isn't improved (even temporarily) and my foundation just sinks into my face. Due to the cost ($$) I will finish out the bottle, but I will be using another foundation primer over it to help.
Not sure...
I've been using this product for a few weeks. Didn't really notice any major differences...but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I think it's good to give it some more time.
This stuff is amazing!
I have never had luck with color correctors, but my mother bought me this recently and it works magic! Some reviews say it doesn't last very long but I've been using mine for over 2 months and still have a more than a third left. It only takes a tiny amount to cover the face. It will make your face look a little shiny if you don't use powder or a matte foundation with it. But besides tha it is lovely!
It really works -- you get a flawless finish!!!
I thought this might make your face look a little strange but it really corrects any flaws - redness, blemishes, circles, large pours, etc LOVE IT!!!
Worth the money
I got this primer to wear under my makeup for my wedding and it really helped my skin look great. You can not tell that you put all those colors on your face but it does make a difference even before makeup, even on acne, age spots, dark circles, etc. I used this for a couple months after the wedding and then I went back to all my regular makeup because I wanted to save my good stuff for special occasions, but even though I was using another prestige brand of primer (that I liked) I found my makeup was not lasting as long and my skin tone over time was getting worse. I think this was actually improving my skin quality. I would wear it overnight if I could afford it!
Five Star
Being a makeup artist, you are often asked your opinions on certain products and to be honest when I first saw this one I thought it was a gimmick! with the sleek packaging and different tones in the primer it looked too good to be true. When applied to dry skin, it feels hydrating and to oily skin, it seems to have a mattifying effect. It improves the wear time of your foundation as well and keeps it from caking. If you have any concerns of discoloration, redness or rosecea, you cant go wrong with the one step correct. Every makeup artist should have this in there kit, and every woman should have it on their dressing table. Thanks for pulling out all the stops Stila and making a product that is truly suited for EVERYONE!
This product is amazing..I have a lot of redness on my cheeks and this helps me even out my skin. Its great Ive never found a product that could fix this problem.
doesn't do everything it claims to
i was so excited to use this product after reading all this great reviews about it. i finally used it and frankly it was disappointing. i mean the packaging is nice and all but it just claims to do so much and perhaps my expectation was too high but it does not even out my skin tone or reduce redness at all which is my main concern. The only thing i liked about this one was the texture and feels pretty nice and smooth. That's about it. I won't recommend to those who have need a lot of correcting. this will be my first and last time i'll ever buy this one.
Perfect primer!
I have tried many primers and this by far is the best one to date! I normally don't use primers under my liquid foundation (only powder) but, used in conjunction with Stila's Perfect and Correct Foundation, I have hit a home run with my makeup routine. It evens my skin out and brightens while not making my face shiny. I just dab where I need it. I finish off with a light dusting of Stila's Illuminating Powder. This is the trifecta-power house of my makeup. No need to look further or purchase anything else.
Great Prep for makeup!
I've tried a silicone based primer from Bare minerals, and I realized it was drying out my skin as well as breaking out. So I switched to Stila's because the reviews said that it hydrates the skin (without making it oliy) so well I decided to try it out. It definetely hydrates the skin..you will be amazed how it feels on your skin, but what is so interesting is that when you let the primer sit on your skin for about a minute or two,it will kind of turn matte, which is perfect! So it definetely hydrates and mattifies the skin. However, I have to say that it doesn't really correct any color on my face. Either way, it's a great product!
Not impressed!
I read rave reviews about what I thought would be an innovative product. As such, I was excited to add it to my make-up routine. I have two 'red dots' on my face - which are actually broken capillaries and I was hoping this would help blend them in, in addition to help give my concealer some extra staying power. Unfortunately, the product did neither. I actually did not see any difference from when I wore my face bare with the product or with out it. Same thing when I tried it with make up. I guess Stila had to make it look really cool in order to sell an ineffective product. :o(
Flawless coverage
i love this primer! its so cool that one pump has 3 colors and each of the color function as a benefit to conceal skin imperfection. it smoothes out my skin and when I apply my foundation over it, my skin looks so flawless. i'm amazed
Nice primer, but...
It was a little oily. But I loved how velvety soft my face felt after it dried a little
I'd give more stars if I could!
I've found the perfect foundation. I had given up on foundation because my skin's so dry I looked like I was wearing chalk--even with so-called moisturizing foundations. Took the chance on this one, and I can't believe how good it makes my skin look. Can't speak for how it'd be on normal-oily skin, but my dry skin is lovin' it.
My skin glows!
I used this as a primer for my wedding day under my make up. It did everything I wanted and more. I didn't get much rest the night before (pre-wedding nerves), and my skin showed it the next morning. I was freaking out. I had circles under my eyes and I still had some red spots from a previous breakout. After I put on the one step correct, they completely disappeared. And it kept my makeup in place all day as a primer. It moisturizes, but doesn't make your skin oily at all. If you think the price is pretty steep, rest assured...this stuff goes a long way. I only need a pea-sized amount per entire facial application. My bottle has lasted me 4 months and I still have half the bottle left.
i absolutely love this corrector. im always really self conscious about my pores and this one step corrector COMPLETELY eliminates them. also, it feels amazing. its a bit on the pricey side, so you have to make it last, but its worth it.
Great Product!
I have tried many primers and color veils and this is the best of both. I have red under tones and some small veining aroud my nose and this provides just enough coverage under my foundation.
An overall AMAZING product
This is really an amazing product. It gives any foundation a cleaner, more even finish. I have personally found that I love wearing just this product and a little bit of concealer rather than full foundation. With my naturally redness-prone skin, I never thought I could go without make up, but this product has changed everything. I highly recommend this product for any skin type
a multi-tasker primer
I absolutely LOVE this product. I haven't been able to find something like it without buying 2-3 items to do the job of ONE. It is so light like mousse but primes yours skin enough for foundation or powder. I even wear it alone, especially on weekends. The only downside is that it is a little pricey for a small bottle but definitely worth purchasing. Maybe just skip on other stuff : ) Best product ever!!!
Good-bye redness!
This product is a great primer - holding all foundation on until you take it off (personally tested with a few 12+ hours - looked as though I had just put it on all day). The added benefit of the green concealor is great for my fair skin - which tends to hold a little red. Once I put this on, my face is a truly blank, even canvas! I have worn it with and without makeup - wouldn't leave home without it! I have used this product for four months and just bought my second bottle - excellent product!
This is a FABU-lous product
I not only use it for myself, but have purchased it as a gift for friends. It has been used to "calm" the under-tone on young faces without makeup. This has even worked for one friend who used it on her son (because it wasn't "MAKEUP" he accepted it) and it calmed the red on his face. Puberty can be a bummer! This product works, and is just great for any skin type.
Best Primer
This is one of the best primers i have ever used. Its very hyrdrating it feels like a drink of water on your face and it evens everything out with the color corrections in it.
Favorite summer beauty trick
I don't like using too much make up in the summer but I still need to hide the discoloring on my uneven skintone. This does just that! The combination of the green, purple and peachy cream instantly brightens up my face. This serum is also very lightweight, perfect for the summer but I will definitely be using it into the winter. Might need to pick up a second because I am already running out.
This product actually works
I have tried many products that would achive what this one step primer does! It truely makes any girl's skin glow to the natural color that it is, without suffocating under layer upon layer of products.
Simply the best primer ever!
I love this primer! Unlike many others I previously tried, this product goes on like invisible silk with no greasy/siliconey feeling afterwards. My skin and makeup appear flawless!
The Best Primer EVER
I am a professional makeup artist and struggle with skin tones all the time. I used to carry around 3 or 4 different primers but this the best! I no longer have to carry around as many different types of primers. It brightens any skin tone and makes the foundation look smooth and light.
I love ths product so much that I want to purchase another tube already just to have. This a smart way to combine the products need to prime and protect the face for a flawless finish. I can apply this primer with fingers or a brush and the primer is easy to blend so once I apply my makeup I have a beautiful finish everytime. This is great for personal and professional use. I recommend this for anyone!
Improves skin tone
I love this product. I use it as a primer because it evens out my skin tone and makes my powder foundation look like I have nothing on. It just makes my skin look so much better than it ever has before. One time I wore it alone and my skin looked fantastic. To me it is now my 'must have' product. I can't go out of the house without it.
Its not a miracle in a bottle, but not bad
It does well with discolored skin and works great as an over all primary. As far as the diminishing of small lines and wrinkles, it's okay.
love this product
I wear the illuminating powder, only, so this product does wonders at evening my complexion without overdoing it with concealer, foundations etc. It's a great base for the illuminating powder, and it makes my skin look smooth a natural without all the fuss!
Helps neutralize your skin's imperfection
I've been trying this product for a month now, I like how it neutralize your skin's imperfection such as for me is my redness on area (cheek, chin, around the nose, forehead). I suggest using their foundation brush to blend more effectively/evenly. I have very sensitive skin.
It works wonders!
I have an olive complexion, but my face is prone to a lot of redness and unevenness. This correcter is just the thing to fix that! The different colors really target all my areas of concern, and really start a good base for my makeup. I wouldn't apply foundation without apply this correcter first! I even put this is before I use my tinted moisturizer.
I have to say I love this product! It is so smooth when it goes on and dries within seconds. It creates an extremely smooth surface for me to apply my tinted moisturizer on. It is really moisturizing and evens out your skin tone completely!
The multi-tasker I've been hoping for!
This was my 1st purchase of Stila and I am head over heels for it. Not only does it control shine (oily T-zone gals), it corrects all tone issues (uneven tone gals) and works to tighten, firm and reduce pores (aging and tone concerned gals)! What more could a girl want.....more Stila!
this product evens my skin tone and is light and oil free. I wear it daily it makes my completion spotless
I love this product! Just like the rest of Stila's products, this one did not disappoint me. It glides on, and it makes my skin feel good (vip) and look good!!!
Love Love Love
I love how the corrector comes with all three colors because as a novice make up applier/wearer I had no idea which color I would need or how to apply it just right. This way all I do is apply it all over and i can wear it with foundation or for a natural look I can just wear it alone.
Helps control oil
Love this stuff! I have serious combination skin & it helps even out the dry/oily areas - it even reduces the amount of oil that my skin produces throughout the day!! I only wish it would do that MORE. Now I wouldn't dream of putting on my makeup without using this first. Overall: Doesn't clog pores, wonderful for sensitive/combo skin, and a GREAT alternative to traditional moisturizers. Highly recommended!
100% Improvement to Skin Tone
I was first introduced to One Step Correct after getting a sample at Sephora. I could not believe what a difference this product made on my face. My skin tone was more even. My foundation/powder went on much more smoothly and when my face was finished it hardly looked like I had any foundation on at all. That was the biggest difference. I don't like to look like I have make up on but with all other products i did. Not anymore! I don't have a lot of money to spend on cosmetics but I will save up to keep this a part of my make up regime. It is worth every penny. Thank you for such a great product.
this product has been great!
this corrector has been wonderful. i get dark circles and i have olive colored skin, so sometimes i need some help looking a little brighter. this corrector does a great job of neutralizing my green tones and bringing out my pinks to help my face look a little brighter. i only wish i got a little more quantity for the price, but it's still worth it!

While it's been mostly doom and gloom around Harley-Davidson in 2010, the Milwaukee-based company does appear to be solely in business because of the strong cost-cutting CEO Keith Wandell has been able to achieve during his tenure. Despite the moaning and groaning from the Bar & Shield loyal about Wandell's non-motorcycle riding lifestyle, the CEO knows how to trim the fat, which is exactly what this HOG needed.

Ron DePinho, who as president of MD Anderson Cancer Center launched its
Leather Cross Body Matinee Purse Ted Baker wF9KENP
, sees grand challenges "as grand opportunities to deliver a population-level impact that requires the discovery and application of new knowledge, and therefore a cross-sector, multidisciplinary effort."
Whatever form a grand challenge takes, it is an effort to pull an organization out of a purely operational mode and create something truly new. That is the both the promise and the peril of any truly ambitious effort, because critics often object to diverting resources from more-pressing needs. Skeptics worry that scientists will spend a lot of time developing solutions that have no definable time horizon or specific application in mind.
However, DePinho pointsout that, over the long haul, grand challenges tend to make good economic sense. "We actually learned that there tends to be so much spinout from a major collective effort that the end result tends to be an increase of effective resources," he says, because it propels many other efforts forward.
He points to

, which sequenced over 10,000 tumor genomes across 33 types of cancer, as an example. As a first-of-its-kind effort, it created a new "periodic table" for cancer research and shifted the field in new directions. It also helped give rise to a similar effort, the 90s Capsule 50 Sailing Bumbag Corporate Tommy Jeans F7l4dr34AC
, which hopes to make a comparable impact in manufacturing .
For established organizations, grand challenges can also represent managed risk. IBM's Meyerson points out that projects like Deep Blue, Blue Gene, and Watson differ significantly from his company's development of the
Preowned Leather clutch bag ThePerfext GuAUeoEw
back in the 1960s, which cost $5 billion (about $40 billion in today's dollars) and could have meant the end of IBM if it failed.
"Grand challenges are not about the amount of money you throw at the problem," he says. "To run a successful grand challenge program, failure should not be a material risk to the company, but success will have a monumental impact. That's what makes grand challenges an asymmetric opportunity."
Meyerson also points out that today's technology makes the pursuit of ambitious projects far more accessible to smaller organizations: "In the current environment of cloud computing, software as a service, and open data, the opportunities for organizations of any size to pursue grand challenges with minimal capital expenditures is unprecedented."
No matter what form innovation takes— short, agile sprints or long-term, grand-challenge investments —innovation

. And the bigger the problems you choose to tackle, the larger the potential payoff. Pursuing a grand challenge won't improve your results next quarter, but it might just take your enterprise to a whole new level.
Papua and West Papua Provinces (high risk)We advise against all tourist and other non-essential travel to Papua and West Papua provinces. The security situation remains unpredictable and there is a risk of kidnapping. Political tensions associated with anti-government groups and local rivalries can lead to violent clashes. Sporadic violence has occurred in Papua province, mainly in Jayapura, parts of the central highlands, around the Grasberg mine and on the road between Timika and Grasberg. Clashes between security service personnel and civilians, and between groups of civilians, have resulted in deaths and injuries. If you are travelling to Papua or West Papua provinces, a travel permit known locally as a "surat jalan" is required. Should you need medical attention, limited facilities are available.Papua and West Papua Provinces

|Third Season
|Previous College:
|Georgia Southwestern '99
>>>2015-16 PBC Co-Coach of the Year
Mark Gainous enters his third season as the head coach of Bobcat Men's Basketball. In his second year in charge of the Bobcats, Gainous steered a major turnaround.
In the 2014-15 season a young Bobcat team went 9-19 and won the PBC's Team Sportsmanship Award. In 2015-16 the Bobcats and Gainous stunned the rest of the PBC on their way to an 18-11 overall record and a Peach Belt Tournament berth.
Gainous' success in year two earned him Co-Peach Belt Coach of the Year. Bobcats swept the Peach Belt end of season awards, as Terrell Harris (2013-15) was named Player of the Year and Isaac Thomas earned Co-Freshman of the Year. Harris earned All-America and All-Region status as well as a spot in the D2 Senior All-Star Game. The Bobcats got their first PBC Elite 15 Award in 2015-16, as Evyn Smith had the top GPA among the teams in the PBC Tournament.
Gainous patrolled the sidelines for the Bobcats for 11 seasons as assistant men's basketball coach. As an assistant, Gainous helped the team to a 177-131 (.575) record, including four 20-win seasons. The Bobcats picked up a Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Regular-Season title in 2005-06, and earned three trips to the NCAA Tournament, including a Sweet-16 run in 2006.
Gainous has helped coach 12 student-athletes to All-PBC status, including PBC Player of the Year and All-American Honorable Mention Jeremy Mayweather (2004-06), and 2015-16 PBC Player of the Year and All-American Honorable Mention Harris.
Gainous is the eighth head coach in Georgia College men's basketball history.
He came to Georgia College from Shorter College in Rome, Ga. where he served as an assistant coach under head coach Ricky Williams for three seasons, also helping coach the golf team and serving as the Sports Information Director.
Prior to that, he was a graduate assistant for the women's basketball team at Georgia Southwestern State University under head coach Kip Drown in Americus, Ga. where he earned his Bachelor's degree in 1999 and Master's in 2000, both in Business Management. He also completed a Master's in Physical Education from Jacksonville State University in Alabama in 2003.
Gainous graduated from Cairo High School in 1995 and was a three year letterman in basketball at GSW under head coach Randolph Barksdale where he twice earned academic all-conference honors.
He is married to the former Natasha Stotler, a graduate assistant coach for the Georgia College women's basketball team from 2007-09. They had their first child, Abram Mark, in 2010 and their second, Annie Grove, in 2014. They reside in Milledgeville.
