Having accrued innumerable honours during his 47 years in football, it might be expected of Giovanni Trapattoni that he would be beginning to wind down. Not a bit of it. At 68, this most experienced and respected of coaches still has an insatiable thirst for the game, and is currently relishing the challenge of ensuring that ambitious Austrian outfit Red Bull Salzburg realise their lofty aspirations.
"I often wonder when I'll quit football, but I still don't have the answer," explains the man who began his managerial career back in 1974 with AC Milan.
Ask him how he cultivates his youthful passion for the game year after year, and the veteran coach does not need a second thought: "By constantly trying to set new objectives and meet new challenges. It's not just the idea of winning that excites me. It's more about getting my team to play one-touch football and getting players to fulfil themselves in positions they didn't start out in."
The idea of winning certainly remains high on his list of priorities too, and with Lothar Matthaus as assistant he recently marked his first season in Austria by steering SV Red Bull Salzburg to the national title. Given that his current club are the richest in the country, some might be tempted to downplay the achievement, but Trapattoni rejects that idea out of hand. "It's never easy," he declares. "The team was completely overhauled, I was discovering a new culture and we had to build a squad. You try getting players from 13 different countries to get along!"
On the last point, legendary former goalkeeper Dino Zoff is in no doubt at all about the irrepressible 68-year-old's credentials. "Trapattoni is the ideal coach for brining a squad together," he commented, and he should know, having long served under the master during his playing days.
Tactical flexibility
In Austria, Trapatonni did not take long to win over a whole new set of admirers. Still in great shape, he won instant respect by leading from the front during the team's endurance and stretching exercises, and in the realm of tactics he once again proved himself to be one of the game's great thinkers.
Settling on the best system for his new outfit, he distanced himself from the idea there is a magic formula that can be applied to every team. "I don't know how many times I've had to change formation down the years," he says. "Most notably, I've gone through 4-4-2 and 4-3-3, not to mention 4-2-3-1 with the national side.
"You have to use your experience and know international football well to be able to blend into different cultures. You need to get acquainted with the language, food and habits of the country and, above all, never improvise in an attempt to get yourself accepted. Otherwise, you end up like a bull in a china shop."
Trapattoni put his expertise to good use at Salzburg and wrapped the league up with relative comfort, thanks to a 20-point lead five matches before the end of the season. It was the club's first domestic crown since 1996/97 and, for their well-travelled trainer, yet another addition to an already-impressive list of honours.
In a coaching career spanning 33 years, he has managed eight different teams (Juventus, Inter, Bayern Munich, Cagliari, Fiorentina, Benfica, Stuttgart and Salzburg) and clinched 23 trophies, including ten championship titles in four different countries. Aside from his recent Austrian conquest, seven of those league triumphs came in Italy (six with Juve, one with Inter), one was achieved in Germany with Bayern in 1997 and one in Portugal with Benfica in 2005.
Elite band
That illustrious record puts Trapattoni third on the all-time European list alongside Austrian coach Ernst Happel, who also reached the summit in four separate championships (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria).
Far from finished, he could yet catch Hungary's Bela Guttmann, who secured titles in five countries (Hungary, Italy, Brazil, Portugal and Uruguay) and perhaps even the record-holder Tomislav Ivic of Croatia, a league winner in six (Yugoslavia, Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Portugal and France).
Similarly, Trapattoni's 23 trophies place him third on the podium of European coaches behind two Scots, Sir Alex Ferguson having claimed 33 and Jock Stein 26. Ukraine's Valeri Lobanovsky also boasts 23, with Ottmar Hitzfeld of Germany close behind on 22.
In fact, Trapatonni's only experience of failure came during his four-year spell with the Azzurri. Between 2000 and 2004, he contested 44 matches with the Italian national side, winning 25, drawing 12 and losing seven. Respectable figures perhaps, but the team fell frustratingly short in the two major tournaments they entered with Trapattoni in the dugout. Beaten in the Round of 16 at the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan™, they fared even worse at the UEFA European Championship two years later, bidding farewell to Portugal after the first round.
"I'll never coach a team in Italy again, but the idea of trying a new experience in another country definitely tempts me," asserts the man himself. "That said, here [at Salzburg] they are counting on me for the Champions League next season. It could be interesting to be get past the qualifying round and contest the group stage." Already focusing on his next challenge, Giovanni Trapattoni shows no signs of losing his appetite for success.

Guest Danielle Younge-Ullman on Inspiration
[Danielle Younge-Ullman debuted in July 2008 with Falling Under (do read presentation/review) — a book this Fairy Godmother described as painfully breathtaking and brutally exquisite. And it remains so in its Kindle Editon and NOOK Book format.
Today, in this guest post, the author focuses on her inspiration for the novel, and what makes the story passionately honest.]
It's kind of a pretty word, a word that suggests something beautiful, like a butterfly landing on your fingertip, or a beam of sunlight bursting from the clouds.
But I was mad when I wrote FALLING UNDER. Furious, in fact. And the issues I was furious about are what sparked and drove the writing of the book.
Inspiration didn't come to me like a butterfly, in other words, or even a beam of sunlight. More like a burning astroid, or a Mac truck.
The thing I was on about, and angry about, is what happens to kids when their parents divorce, particularly when those parents cease to function as parents, leaving the kids to navigate the world on their own…to essentially parent themselves.
Here's a short excerpt from Chapter Sixteen that will give you an example. (My protagonist, Mara, has just been kicked out of her mother's house.)
"The morning you arrive with your huge suitcase, Dad tries the heart-to-heart, but it's not helpful to have him rant about what a bitch Mom is and then punch the wall beside the fridge, get hammered that night, and refuse to go to work the next day.
Certain kinds of support are worse than none at all."
Sure, divorce is an everyday kind of tragedy these days. And yes, kids are elastic, adaptable, they survive. Sometimes they adapt so well on the surface that nobody sees how deeply and profoundly their view of the world has changed; how hurt they are, how alone they feel, how much more precarious everything seems to them, how much less they trust.
Mara, is a sensitive kid, a smart kid, a funny kid, and also a survivor. But the decisions she makes, as a result of having no stability and no parental figures she can trust or go to for guidance, are not often the best. The results are sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, often both. And Mara grows up to be a mass of contradictions and unfulfilled potential—so afraid of the world that she can barely leave her house most days, stuck in a horrible artistic and professional rut, and burdened by a past littered with disastrous romantic (and sexual) relationships.
Mara's adult life is consistent with what studies and statistics say, which is that many of the effects of divorce become evident only when a child reaches adulthood and confronts adult relationships. These are conflicted people who've had to rely on themselves, and don't necessarily know how to function in a trusting relationship. They are also (statistically) likely to be less educated, more substance-addicted, less financially stable, less emotionally and psychologically stable, more likely to marry early, more likely to divorce…and it goes on. Unfortunately these stats are true of the adult children of all divorced families, including the amicable and "good" divorces, though of course the more stability and support provided by parents, family and community, the better chances the child/grown-child has of thriving.
Think about what that means, in a society where 50% of people are getting divorced…
Now I want to be clear: I am NOT on an anti-divorce rant. There are people who shouldn't stay together, people who can't.
I simply wanted to tell a story that would pull people, as viscerally as possible, into Mara's experience, so that they would understand it. I wanted to reach out to adults and young adults who have been through this and maybe wonder why they (possibly) feel screwed-up and are not coping, and let them know they're having a normal reaction, and that they can work through it. And I wanted to reach out to parents who may have divorced, or be considering it, and give them a sense of how it might affect their children, how important it is for them to continue to provide as much stability and leadership and understanding as possible, so their kids can better cope with whatever happens.
And then, if it's not too much to ask, I'd also like society as a whole to start doing a better job at supporting families in crisis. Because THAT would be inspiring…in the beam-of-sunlight-bursting-through-the-clouds sort of way.

Pregnancy: [US Boxed Warning]: Methotrexate has been reported to cause fetal death and/or congenital abnormalities. Methotrexate is not recommended for women of childbearing potential unless there is clear medical evidence that the benefits can be expected to outweigh the considered risks. Pregnant women with psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis should not receive methotrexate. If you are going to use methotrexate and be sexually active you need good birth control. Go see a gynecologist..

Spring Football
"We're looking at four returners on offense, plus Devon Atkinson who missed all of last season due to a knee injury," said Waldrop of Atkinson, who was an all-state selection as a sophomore two years ago. "We have three returning on defense, plus our punter and place kicker. We also have five returning players who were playing in rotation."
At Sparkman, the program is under new leadership as Laron White is the new head coach. He was named the head Senator in February replacing Chris Cagle who decided to vacate his position after the 2016 season as the Senators finished 4-6. White inherits a program that was 11-19 in three seasons under Cagle. White is no stranger to winning as he came to Sparkman from Tanner High where the Rattlers were 148-30 in his 14 seasons at the school that also won two state championships in Class 2A.
"We expect to have around 107 players coming out this spring as we have four starters on defense and six on offense coming back for the 2017 season," said White. "We are excited about spring practice and want to go out and be aggressive and fly around."
At Madison Academy, second-year head coach Grant Reynolds looks to take his program one step farther in 2017 after finishing runner-up in Class 4A losing in the state title game to Handley 30-7.
"We will be trying to build depth at several key positions on offense and defense this spring," said Reynolds. "We have 11 starters all together returning, but lost some players in key positions. Of the 64 players coming out this spring we have six starters on defense coming back and five starters on offense."
For White, arriving on campus just prior to spring practice kickoff, he knows his time with the program is limited and he's not hard pressing that issue, therefore, will limit new items inserted into the program. "He added, "We just want to have some physical practices and see who will compete for playing time."-Bob Labbe

Minimise food waste
In Australia we waste up to 30% of the food we purchase. In 2017 it was estimated that food waste cost the Australian economy about $20 billion each year. Australian consumers threw away about 3.1 million tonnes of edible food a year. Another 2.2 million tonnes was disposed of by the commercial and industrial sector.
Food waste costs Australian households between $2,200 to $3,800 a year. The environmental cost is also significant, an estimated 7.6 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions was released into the environment as a result of sending food waste to landfill in 2014/15.
Every time we throw food into the bin we're also discarding the vast amounts of resources, energy and water that it took to produce, process, store, refrigerate, transport and cook our food.

Shop wisely
Much of the food wastage in our kitchens comes from simply buying too much or inadequate planning. To reduce the amount you throw away:
- Check what's in your fridge before going shopping, and plan your next meals around what needs to be eaten. Put things in the freezer if you aren't able to eat them soon.
- Think about what you will eat for the next few days and make a list of what you need. This will help you to buy only what you need.
- Buy in quantities that you will use.
- Keep a store of long-life basics in your cupboard—like pasta, rice, tinned fish or beans or frozen vegetables. This makes it easy to prepare a quick meal when you add a few fresh ingredients.
- Check use-by dates to make sure you'll eat the product before it goes out of date. Try to include local or organic food in your shopping. This helps reduce emissions from transport as well as the use of chemicals and fertilisers.
- When purchasing fish, choose species which are not overfished or threatened. Ask your seafood retailer for advice.
- Try to select food with minimal packaging to reduce waste to landfill
- Remember to take your reusable shopping bags.
Store food correctly
Different foods have different storage needs. Correct food storage has a huge impact on the freshness and shelf-life of food.
Keep your food fresh and avoid wasting energy by having your fridge set at the right temperature—between 3 and 4°C for the fridge and between minus 15 and minus 18°C for the freezer. Use a fridge thermometer to check.
Keep a range of air-tight plastic containers for storing various foods once they have been opened or cooked. Keep old margarine and takeaway food containers including their lids for this purpose.
Air-tight jars (like jam jars) are great for storing dry ingredients like flour or rice or leftover liquids.
Here are some tips for storing food:
- Most vegetables keep best in the refrigerator—in the vegetable drawer if you have one. Once cut, vegetables are safest stored in the fridge.
- Remove vegetables, herbs and mushrooms from plastic bags as they will 'sweat' and spoil.
- Store potatoes, onions and other root vegetables in a cool dry place. If potatoes turn green, don't eat them—put them in your compost or worm farm.
- Refrigerate raw meat immediately after purchase until cooked. Keep meat in a sealed container so it doesn't contaminate other food. Store it in the coldest part of your fridge (usually at the rear).
- Store opened pasta, rice and cereals and other dry ingredients in air-tight containers.
For lots more tips on how to choose and store different foods visit the Food Safety Information Council website.
Use your freezer
Use your freezer to store food that would otherwise go off.
- Store leftovers for in the freezer for later. Do not reheat more than once.
- If cooking a curry or stew, cook extra and store some in the freezer for an easy meal later on. Remember to thaw items in your fridge overnight rather than in the microwave.
- If you're unlikely to use a whole loaf of bread before it goes stale, cut it up into portions and store it in the freezer.
- Lots of fruits and vegetables are suitable to freeze. You can blend frozen strawberries or raspberries into a smoothie or use it as a topping. Freeze bananas (without the skin) that are getting very ripe, these are great for baking or eating.
- You can even freeze some cheeses like parmesan or gruyere.
- Freeze liquids like stock and even wine in small containers or in an ice cube tray and use as needed in cooking.
Cook what you need
Try to cook only as much as will be eaten. A portion guide may help you to work out how much to cook for each person.
If you have extras every night, adjust the amount you cook.
Use leftovers
Get inventive with leftovers and put even small leftovers in the fridge or freezer for a handy lunch or snack. There are plenty of websites with new and traditional recipes that make use of leftovers to provide nutritious and delicious meals.
- Keep leftovers for lunches or snacks, or as part of another meal.
- If you can't use leftovers straight away, freeze them for later. Don't reheat leftover food more than once.
- Be creative and invent your own recipes from what's in the fridge. You can search for recipes online by key ingredients.
- Keep scraps for pets. Make sure the food is suitable—for example, onions are toxic to dogs.
- Chickens will eat a variety of kitchen scraps. They'll also provide fresh eggs, pest control and garden services.
Refuse and re-use packaging
The majority of packaging that comes with your food can be avoided or recycled. Here are some ways you can reduce or re-use packaging:
- Refuse excess packaging. Look for products with no or less outer materials.
- Avoid pre-packaged fruit and vegetables where possible.
- Recycle packaging where you can and re-use containers. Plastic take-away containers from restaurants can be used for storage or as a lunch box, and margarine containers are great for paint holders if you're renovating.
- Take your own bags when you go shopping.
- Pass on egg containers to friends or colleagues who keep chickens. The cardboard can also be ripped up and used in your compost.
Recycle waste
Plastics, tins, paper and cardboard and drink containers can all go in your home recycle bin. Check our recycling guide and make sure you know what your local council does and does not collect. Bottles can be recycled and don't forget the corks from your wine bottles. Cork is a valuable natural resource. Find out where you can recycle cork stoppers from wine bottles through Planet Ark's RecyclingNearYou.
Compost food scraps
Turn food scraps into compost for your garden to reduce waste and return nutrients to your soil.
You can compost most types of food waste including:
- uncooked vegetables and scraps
- fruit
- salad
- tea bags
- crushed egg shells
- coffee grounds
- non-food materials such as plants and flowers, grass clippings, leaves and shredded paper, cardboard or pet and human hair.
It is not recommended that you put the following items in your compost as they do not break down quickly and can attract animals or vermin:
- dairy products
- meat or fish
- lemon or orange peels.
Keep a small container for food scraps handy in your kitchen and empty it regularly into your compost bin.
Cut up large pieces of food scraps as they will break down more quickly.
Start a worm farm
You can also recycle food waste by turning it into rich fertiliser through a worm farm. Worm liquid and castings are excellent for pot plants.
You can have a worm farm even if you live in an apartment and don't have much space. There are clever worm farm kits that fit under your sink or on your verandah so they're convenient, space-efficient and clean.
While worms aren't fussy eaters, you shouldn't feed them:
- dairy produce like butter or cheese
- meat or fish
- fat or bones
- onions or garlic.
Grow your own food
Growing fruit and vegetables is a great way of reducing some of the harmful gases produced by processing and transporting food. Not only is growing your own food rewarding—it tastes better too.
Even if you don't have a garden, it's easy to grow a few fresh herbs or salad greens in a pot on your verandah or kitchen so they're always on hand. Instead of buying costly bunches of herbs at the supermarket that you may not use, you can snip off just a few leaves as you need them.
Consider using organic principles for the food you grow.

BREWSTER -- Peace and harmony prevail once more on Route 6A in Brewster.
Cumberland farms and town officials have settled their dispute over increasing the fuel storage capacity at the Cumberland Farms store and gas station at Foster Square.
The convenience store chain had requested an amendment to its permit to increase fuel storage to 40,000 gallons in two tanks. After discovering that one of three 8,000 tanks currently in the ground had leaked 327 gallons of fuel in 2013 the selectmen denied the amendment by a 3-2 vote on May 15 and Cumberland Farms filed a lawsuit to overturn the decision.
They've reached a compromise solution.
Cumberland Farms will be permitted to store up to 32,000 gallons of gasoline (no diesel fuel) in three triple-walled underground tanks.
This is all part of Cumberland Farms' expansion of the existing store to 4,980 square feet. The chain has been upgrading its outlets on the Outer Cape with Eastham and Chatham already receiving larger stores and more fuel pumps. The effort to increase the size of the Wellfleet store is in court; that town also denied permission for larger fuel tanks.
The Brewster selectmen met in executive session prior to Tuesday's regular meeting to finalize the agreement with their attorney Gregg Corbo of KP Law.
"Their (current) license authorizes 24,000 gallons of gasoline and they had an application to expand to 40,000," Corbo said. "The board voted to deny and Cumberland Farms filed a lawsuit in Barnstable Superior Court. That opened the discussion to reach a resolution and as a result we reached a fair compromise to allow a modest increase in capacity while adhering to several conditions."
The original request had been for two double-walled 20,000-gallon tanks that would also accommodate 8,000 gallons of diesel fuel. Now there will be three triple-walled tanks with a total capacity of 32,000 gallons of gasoline. Those will replace the three single-walled, 35-year old tanks now in the ground. The new tanks also have sensors that would immediately detect a leak. The leak in 2013 wasn't discovered for up to 10 months.
Replacing the tanks will also allow for contaminated soil beneath them to be removed. Cumberland Farms has 27 monitoring wells on site and indications are the clean-up using vapor extraction technology is nearly complete.
"We think these and other conditions protect the public's health and safety," Corbo said.
Cumberland Farms will maintain a fuel monitoring system on site, make sure the tanks are inspected and the results provided to the board, and it will coordinate with the Brewster Fire Department to make sure a hydrant is on the property and that the department has an emergency access gate through the fence.
The curb cut for the new store's exit will be for a right turn only.

This is the software solution, type "Mobile sales", for automation of work for sales managers.
23 Июля 2014
Sooner or later any company faced with the need to develop a distribution network for effective promotion of the goods on the market. This includes the work of the various categories of "roving" staff directly from the client. The article describes an embedded solution for automation of sales managers, supervisors, and freight forwarders.
Develop an IT solution to qualitatively raise the level of distribution, and provides additional advantages over competitors. The software should run on low-cost smartphones and provide the following functionality:
As a platform for creating mobile solutions has been selected by the operating system Windows Phone 8. Developing applications for Windows Phone 8 has a number of advantages over other platforms:
It was decided to Exchange data between a Smartphone and a server by using the HTTP protocol. Then for server side solution sufficient to install IIS, available now on any Microsoft operating system. Internet Information Services (IIS) has established itself as a reliable enterprise solution and does not require a lot of time on startup and configuration.
In the process of exchanging data Smartphone gets:
and passes to the server:
Information stored on the server in the form of text files, set format that allows you to easily import data from smartphones in accounting systems, such as 1 c, etc.
Application screenshots are shown below.
From left to right: 1 - product catalog; 2 - detailed information about the product; 3 - route sales representative for the chosen date; 4 - order shipment and magazine applications; 5 - the order of settling with clients and magazine applications for repayment of the debt.
Figure 1 - Mobile trading application screenshots on base Windows Phone 8.
The server part of the software lets you import data into the accounting system, formation of customer visit schedules and route sales managers, monitoring of implementation of charts hits, display maps with location for shipping orders abstract, formation of the running schedules (with maps) for Transport Department.
Figure 2 - Example of monitoring and route sales representative according to Mobile Smartphone applications.
Figure 3 - Monitoring of implementation schedules visits clients in registration system.
Thanks to the functionality, that is implemented in the, you can minimize the time spent by the client before mobile 50%, compared with the time when working with paper. It is also increases the number of visited points by sales managers in the day. Additional software features allow you to convert the quantitative distribution into high-quality distribution, thereby increasing the overall competitiveness and tying the end client not to the mobile employee, but to the company he represents.
Thank you. Comment you can leave after registration on our site. Dmitry Kalchenko.

As NYC took on salt water in places it never intended, many of us here operated instinctually — raiding grocery stores, hoarding bottles of wine, wrapping WiFi routers in surfsuits. You know how it is. It won't surprise you to learn that I was most fixed on what LPs people pulled for the flood. What was your record for end-times? There are classics upon classics to consider, and perhaps no better time then a time like this past week to consider them — and then there is someone like Jessica Pratt, a contemporary chanteuse with a classic, dog-eared vinyl feel out of San Francisco. In fact, her self-titled debut came as a recommendation from our friend Daniel Arnold, during the storm, as the right music for it. Jessica's is a melancholic, fingerpicked folk, with a milk-eyed meandering voice wrapped in the hiss and overall aura of a mystic sylvan setting. This is the music for that last bottle of wine, when the WiFi's submerged and your candle's flickering with its last. It's also a good add to your recovery soundtrack. It's pretty. You can have the lead track here:
Jessica Pratt – "Night Faces"
Jessica Pratt is out via Birth Records.

Home / Articles / TEFL Syllabus design
Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.?
?Alice in Wonderland, Chapter VI, page 64, L. Carroll 1960
The quote above comes from an old childhood favorite but clearly makes a case for the use and reasoning behind a syllabus. But, first and foremost we must define what a syllabus is. The American Heritage Dictionary tells us that a syllabus is an outline of a course of study. Other sources explain what a syllabus is as a student?s introduction to the subject as well as you the teacher. Also, as a document that communicates your goals and expectations to the students. It can also be an official notice of policies and requirements, as well as a learning tool. But most importantly, it is an agreement between the teacher and the students that clearly states your expectations, easily explains what the students will be required to do for the course and the policies that will be followed. This being said, I believe we can now go into syllabus design.
In order to design a syllabus we must know what we are teaching and in what direction we want to lead our students toward enlightenment. In doing so some researchers have suggested asking yourself as the teacher ten questions before designing a syllabus.
1.What do you want your students to learn?
2.What are the course objectives that enable you to answer question one?
3.How can you use your class time at its most effective?
4.Have high expectations been laid out for your students to reach for?
5.Have you used all your resources?
6.Do your tests and worksheets; measure your students? grasp of the material.
7.Is my syllabus straightforward enough for comprehension as well as being creative enough to keep the students engaged?
8.Are there ways for students to give feedback on how they think the course is going?
9.Is the tone of your syllabus the one you wish to convey?
10.Would you like to be given this syllabus if you were the student?
After these questions have been thoughtfully answered you can start to consider the other elements to designing your syllabus.
Some common elements are course overview, learning objectives, general approach, policies, etc. The course overview simply describes what the course covers and why, it is useful. The learning objectives show the students what they are expected to know as well as do at the end of the course. The general approach section will explain how you plan on tackling the course. Will there be lectures, discussions, independent or group or projects? This will give your students a heads up into what is in store for them. As for policies, you should clearly state the protocol for attendance, late assignments, class participation, etc.
Also in your syllabus should be included information about textbooks and other course material. Indicate what is required and where they may find it if you can. You may also include a section concerning major assignments and exams and the dates for both. A brief description of the major assignments is both helpful as well good for students? preparation. This will also benefit your students so they can estimate their workload and properly plan their time, In this section you should include all other course requirements. Such as quizzes, written work and projects and how they will be graded and what is needed for a passing grade. Also a statement about academic integrity as well as supplementary materials such as websites, glossaries, etc.
This should be sufficient for you, the teacher to start preparing your own syllabus. Just remember, a syllabus is a guide for your students, an outline of what lies ahead as well as the rewards. Try not to add too much but also keep in mind to give all the information your students will need. Also be direct and to the point but creativity is not only fun but enticing. Most importantly do not scare the students. A well written and precise syllabus will be their bible so do take care. Now all that is left is to start.
As I began this article with a quote, it only seems sitting to end with one.

When the Phillies were at last safe in the sanctum that is their clubhouse following their 1-0 loss to the San Diego Padres last night, you couldn't have blamed them for gazing skyward and lamenting, "Someone up there doesn't like us."
It was a game they had every right to win, no right to lose. Their pitcher, John Denny (1-5), outpitched the Padre duo of Dave Dravecky (4-2) and Goose Gossage (12 saves), if only marginally. They outhit the Pads 9-4. They played errorlessly afield. They had more good chances to score than did their foes. But San Diego scored and Philadelphia didn't - and that's the bottom line, isn't it?

Why Not Nuclear?
So everyone is talking about whether the Republicans will push the button on the "nuclear option." First of all, the nomenclature is a bit overblown, isn't it? I mean, come on, right?
But I know some conservatives are expressing concern about doing something this "drastic" that will forever change the way things are done in the Senate. To be clear, I couldn't care less about Senate procedures. And some conservatives are asking what will happen when Democrats get the majority back in the Senate. They'll just run roughshod over the Republicans and put a radical liberal on the bench. Oh nooooooos! You mean they'll be able to get crazy liberals like Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the highest court in the world and they'll rule on things like gay marriage and abortion!!!!???
Done and done. The Republicans don't do anything to stop the Democrats anyway. So why not go nuclear?
Look, this is about winning. Democrats don't care about the Constitution. They don't care about process. They care about winning. And as long as we care more about being nice guys and following the rules, we're going to get beat. Time to win.
The Supreme Court is worth making a few Democrats mad at us, don't you think?

Be Ready When the Time Comes
In today's climate, it is more important than ever that all of us be prepared for possible emergencies. Natural or other disasters can strike at any time and anywhere. There are five actions you can take that will make a difference.
Make a Plan
Planning ahead is the first step to a calmer and more assured disaster response. Talk with your family about disasters that can happen where you live. Plan an evacuation route and meeting place.
Build a Disaster Supply Kit
What you have on hand when a disaster strikes can make a big difference. Store three days worth of essential supplies (like food and water) for everyone in your home.
Get Trained
Learning simple First Aid, CPR and Disaster Response Techniques can give you the skills and confidence to help anyone in your home, neighborhood and workplace.
Our communities need your help. There are so many needs and many ways for you to serve.
Give Blood
Blood is needed in times of emergencies, but the ongoing need is also great.

MADISON -- Pope Benedict XVI has invited the entire Church to celebrate a "Year of Faith" beginning this October. He emphasizes the need for all of us to rediscover the fundamental content of the faith so that we can live out the faith in all its truth, goodness, and beauty.
He proposes that the Catechism of the Catholic Church is a precious gift in which we find the fundamental content of the faith and see how it all fits together. He reminds us that in the Catechism we do not encounter a theory, but we actually encounter "a Person who lives within the Church," the person of Jesus Christ.
People who want to encounter Christ more deeply and rediscover the "big picture" of the Catholic faith are invited to "The Main Event," which is a weekly gathering of prayer, teaching, and discussion that will take attendees on a journey through Sacred Scripture and the Catechism, revealing how the Catholic faith fits together into one great, cohesive, beautiful story — the story of God's plan for each of us to share in his own communion of life and love.
"The Main Event" is a perfect venue for Catholics who want to grow deeper in their faith as well as for people who are not Catholic, but are interested in learning more about the Catholic faith and what it has to say about the big questions in life.
Additionally, all of "The Main Event" sessions double as Seat of Wisdom classes, which is the catechist certification program of the Diocese of Madison. Those who are interested in earning their diocesan catechist certification, "The Main Event" is the quickest and easiest way to do it.
"The Main Event" is being held Tuesdays, beginning Sept. 4, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at St. Patrick Church, 404 E. Main St. For more information, contact Marc Laudonio at 608-257-5000, ext. 14, or
www.isthmuscatholic.org, for more details and the full "The Main Event" schedule for the 2012 to 2013 year.

"Last year, clients questioned whether it would even be in existence this year," says Joe Abruzzese, CBS president-sales, who also oversees UPN.
Now nearing its eighth birthday, UPN has had an often-tortured existence. Its identity has changed repeatedly from a sci-fi channel to a hub for programs targeting African-Americans to one that tries to do both. And it has never received much acclaim for any permutation.
Critical disdain can be shaken off. But financial issues are harder to ignore. And UPN is a perennial money-bleeder. So much so that in 2000 Viacom bought out partner Chris-Craft's 50% share for a mere $5 million, a steal for a broadcast network, except it came with a mound of debt.
Early this year, Viacom began moving aggressively to shore up UPN and ensure that come upfront time, questions of long-term viability would be allayed. CBS's turnaround artist Les Moonves was given oversight of the network. In February, he brought in a well-respected programming chief, Dawn Ostroff, who helped vault Lifetime to the top of the cable ratings. Since then, the network developed a softer logo and reaffirmed a target of 18-to-34-year-olds.
Ostroff crafted a 2002-03 schedule that sought to make the programs on individual nights complement each other, and propel viewers to the next one (UPN programs two hours of prime time Monday through Friday). Three new shows dot the schedule. Comedy "Half and Half" joins the block of four half-hour comedies on Monday that target African-Americans, who make up 81% of the night's viewers. ("All of the shows provide water-cooler buzz on Tuesday morning, and we find that's helpful for our clients," says Sharman Davis, media director at New York urban-marketing agency Prime Access.)
Tuesday will again be led by "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and followed by the new "Haunted," about a detective in touch with the dead. Wednesday is sci-fi night with the return of Star Trek spin-off "Enterprise" followed by a revival of the "The Twilight Zone" hosted by Forest Whitaker. Thursday offers wrestling's "WWE Smackdown" and Friday a movie.
UPN executives believe the line-up will provide a night-to-night springboard. On Tuesday, "Buffy" captures about a 22% African-American audience and "Haunted" offers a prominent African-American character. Even WWE on Thursday has a 33% African-American audience. "We feel in all of our shows that there are things of interest for the African-American viewers to come into Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday," Ostroff says.
easing advertiser concern
Beyond that, execs hope shows like "Buffy" and "Enterprise" will help build the ratings in the general 18-34 demo. The hope is the shows can help launch "Haunted" and "Twilight Zone." Overall, UPN posted a season-long rating of 1.9 (about 1.2 million viewers) in the 18-34 demo last year, placing it above AOL Time Warner's WB for fifth among the broadcasters.
Besides the new lineup, Moonves' presence alone should ease advertiser concern. Also instilling confidence is UPN operations such as ad sales now coming under the CBS group. "Viacom's affirmation of their long-term faith in UPN sent the appropriate signal to the marketing community," says John Rash, senior VP, Campbell Mithun, Minneapolis.
It would have been difficult in the $8.1 billion 2002 upfront for any of the six nets to struggle, but UPN posted large percentage gains in revenue intake with a 50% jump, from $160 million to $240 million. In pricing, UPN posted 15% gains in cost-per-thousand viewers, or CPMs.
The network may be on a trek to profitability. Abruzzese says the goal is to do so in the next year and a half.

Art Walk Trail is a 1 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Nahcotta, Washington that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible year-round.
kid friendly
nature trips
wild flowers
no dogs
Great time! Perfect first hike for my grandson!
Fun, unique short trail!
we drove all the way over with our dogs and there's a sign that says no dogs so we will find another Park one star for being bummed
This was a fun easy trail. There is various kinds of art all along the trail that makes it very fun
Chere C.
This review is actually for the art walk and Cutthroat Climb, but there's no enty available for those, so putting it here. Official website with all the logistics: https://www.fws.gov/refuge/willapa/visitor_activities/trail_guide.html
Access Cutthroat Climb via the boardwalk for the art path. Art walk is good for anyone and everyone. Cutthroat is a loop of 2/3 mile. It's super cool; perfect for families. Lots of stairs, including an overpass for a fallen log. Even nice days can have a wet trail; I wished I'd switched out my running shoes for hiking boots. There are little stops along the way with clues for guessing what various animals are. My 7 year old and 8 1/2 year old seemed to like it. There's a mandala made of paving stones to walk toward the end of the loop. The trails themselves are pretty easy, but hilly and interactive enough to be interesting. There is a lot of foxglove; something parents of tiny humans and fur babies should be aware of. I did get by a mosquito, but for a group of 5, that was the only one. Also be aware that the restrooms are only available while the visitors center is open. Still, a great little gem. Would hike again.

SilverStripe Website Technology Spreads with Launch of Global Partner Program
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND - For release from: 2PM Wednesday 6 May 2009 NZST.
SilverStripe Expands Horizons Globally
SilverStripe has today significantly expanded its global reach. From today, its corporate headquarters in Wellington, New Zealand, is complemented by partnerships with established companies in 8 locations throughout the US, UK, Europe, and Australia.
The Partner Program gives customers access to professional SilverStripe skills and knowledge across the globe. Today's milestone will allow businesses around the world to get local professional SilverStripe support and services. Additionally, the Partner Program will accelerate market adoption and awareness of SilverStripe globally.
Customers across the world can now visit http://silverstripe.com/partners to find a local SilverStripe partner who can help implement their SilverStripe solution.
SilverStripe Technology Seen as Next Generation
SilverStripe Content Management System (CMS) is a modern platform used to construct and manage websites, web applications, and intranets. Released two years ago, it is open source and has been downloaded over 150,000 times. The CMS last year powered the US Democratic Party's National Convention website, streaming live speeches by Barack Obama, and serving 3.2 billion hits over 96 hours.
SilverStripe's focus on usability and well-built architecture is making it popular within government and established businesses. Because the SilverStripe CMS is free, it is also very popular with small businesses and with web developers.
Web industry expert Bryan Ruby of CMSReport.com says that SilverStripe's technology is considered to be setting a new global standard for web and CMS technology. Bryan evaluated SilverStripe while judging the 2008 Packtpub Open Source CMS awards, in which SilverStripe won the 'Most Promising' category:
"SilverStripe CMS is firmly planted in a new generation of web content management systems. The ease, power, and flexibility of the user interface is an aspiration for its competitors. Quite simply, with SilverStripe it is easier to add pages, links, images, and do all the other typical tasks of managing a website. Under the hood, it also has a lot of good things going for it. Most other web and CMS platforms have awkward codebases that are difficult to customize and upgrade. There is an emerging trend to solve this by cleanly separating a CMS into two things: a well-architected object oriented code framework, and a user interface for content and site management. Several key players are heading down this path, but SilverStripe is unique because it has a two year lead. SilverStripe has had this architecture from day one, and is now perfecting it, rather than working towards the trend."
Formalising a Growing Open Source Community
SilverStripe CMS is open source software; the source code and documentation are all publicly available at no cost. A community of website developers has quickly grown around the technology—it has been adopted by thousands of website developers as their platform of preference. As individuals and companies become more familiar with the SilverStripe CMS, they seek recognition for their competency and experience. The Partner Program begins to address this, by giving established companies formal recognition as the go-to people for SilverStripe in their geographic location.
Paul Wander, Sales and Marketing Director at Ibuildings says, "As one of Europe's most sophisticated and largest enterprise PHP companies, Ibuildings are always seeking out advances in the PHP marketplace. SilverStripe is a great product, filled with modern best practice architecture. It gives our PHP professionals more freedom and efficiency in their work. We partnered with SilverStripe because we see a quickly growing market for SilverStripe-based work in Europe, and we are already working with the SilverStripe company to capitalise on this."
Helping Customers Connect with Local Proficiency
Organisations wanting projects built on our technology contact us daily. This is because we offer a full range of services from strategy, design, and development, to hosting and support. Being based in New Zealand, however, makes it hard for some organisations who want to have the assurances associated with having a local partner. Unable to find local SilverStripe proficiency, these prospective customers sometimes end up using other products. To remedy this situation, we sought partners in geographic regions where we were seeing this happen. When seeking partners, we looked to companies with an established market presence and a history of using SilverStripe. This included evaluating their market leadership status, staff size, length of time in business, and ability to offer SilverStripe services.
It is very important to ensure partners can handle the opportunities given to them. To address this, partners will continue to have a strong connection back to SilverStripe company headquarters in Wellington, New Zealand. This means they will have access to technical support, mentoring, and knowledge of our product and plans. Partners will also be able to jointly offer solutions to clients where a portion of the project may be completed by the local partner, and a portion completed by SilverStripe HQ.
Our CEO, Brian Calhoun, describes the magnitude of the expansion plan, saying "This is the most exciting and ambitious expansion plan in the company's history. Two years ago we opened up our licensing from a proprietary to an open source model. That has gone significantly better than we anticipated. People all over the world are downloading and doing amazing things with our software. I am constantly impressed with the creative and diverse SilverStripe-based sites out in the world. We feel the Partner Program will allow more businesses all over the planet to gain the benefits of using our technology by having a local provider help them create excellent solutions. The Partner Program comes strictly out of demand; we had people knocking on our doors telling us that they wanted to be our international partners."
Partners Choose SilverStripe To Help Them Be More Competitive Because It Is The Best Product Available
An economic recession means website development companies are competing more amongst each other for business. SilverStripe partners tell us that our technology makes them more attractive when tendering for business.
One of the SilverStripe partners in the United Kingdom is GPMD. Having completed many SilverStripe-based projects, CEO Mark Slocock comments, "We've been using SilverStripe for about two years. Over this time we've noticed that showing SilverStripe CMS in a sales meeting can often more or less cinch the deal. Prospective customers are constantly impressed by how easy and powerful it is to manage websites, and this experience carries right through to when we've completed our work. GPMD is therefore delighted to become an official SilverStripe Partner for the UK. Not only can we continue to give our clients a user friendly and fully featured website, we now get to increase our standing in the SilverStripe community. We also benefit through the partnership program's training and support services. This connection will increase the sophistication of our use of the SilverStripe platform."
Tim Chambers is Co-Founder for USA-based SilverStripe Partner Dewey Digital. Their relationship with SilverStripe has enabled many high profile American websites to run on the SilverStripe CMS. This includes the 2008 Democratic National Convention (http://www.demconvention.com) and the California Women's Conference (http://www.californiawomen.org). Tim says, "At Dewey Digital we are constantly searching for the most cutting edge and simplest solutions to help our clients better engage and communicate to an ever-evolving, increasingly connected digital world. We specifically sought out a content publishing system that could stitch together seamlessly with a host of other web services, could manage tons of different media types, languages, and platforms, and could do so in a way that brought simplicity, not complexity to the entire process. And no contest, SilverStripe was it."
Michael Hill is Managing Director for SilverStripe's Australian Partner, NOW/Media. He says he was attracted to using SilverStripe because it is "developed on an excellent open source code foundation, backed by a dedicated support team."
Next Steps for the Partner Program
SilverStripe will initially focus on gaining service delivery momentum with the initial pool of partners to ensure high-quality relationships. Future plans include carefully adding more partners globally. Companies who are interested in becoming partners are encouraged to contact us and we will work with them to determine how they may best serve the SilverStripe community.

So my mom is the BIGGEST Elton John fan and he's coming to our area in a couple months. My brother, sister and I wanted to try and get her tickets to go see him. My brother, being a champ, camped out last night and got THIRD ROW SEATS! She's going to go totally nuts when we give them to her. Since this was definitely a splurge…even splitting the cost three ways between us is expensive…we want to think of a creative way to wrap/give them to her and my dad.
Any suggestions other than just putting them in a little envelope and wrapping that? I thought about wrapping them up in box after box so you can't tell what it is before hand. My mom always gets awkward when people give her presents and much prefers giving them over getting them, so I definitely need some help and/or creative ideas!
Thanks 🙂
