Do. Learn. Define.
Therein lies the fundamental, root issue with why so many do not find lasting success (however they chose to define it) nor significance in their lives.
Define. Learn. Do.
Not only is this 180 degrees different when you examine in writing or hear someone say it out loud, it is also inside-out transformational for one's thinking and mindset.
Why is the former far inferior to the latter?
Let's dissect this at a high level in this post. This concept can easily form the spine of a book, or the core theme of an entire evening's seminar, so additional comments from those who read this post & identify with this are most welcome to offer input.
First, the former.
In old style, agricultural/industrial age schooling, you are often asked at some, or many points, by an adult in authority something along the lines of "What do you want to do when you graduate?" Without being aware of the far superior alternative, this seemingly straightforward question has pinned the teenager ('you') into a corner, and continued a programming that nearly often leads to mediocrity and a settled for life rather than one of uncovering genius, serving others, & being part of something far bigger than oneself.
Then, often, the answer received by the adult ranges from a shrug/blank stare, to a verbal "I am not sure/don't know", to, in some cases, a detailed reply from a smaller percentage of teens. This is quite often the lead-in to the learn step, where, often, one finds themselves on the college prep track, taking classes to beef up the transcript for colleges "A", "B", and "C" to evaluate when it comes to the next stage. You are embarking on a journey to learn whatever it is that you want to do
Lastly, whatever you end up learning defines your life; its contours, its obligations, most usually, your budget ( mostly debt ), and even where you live and whom you associate with.
You've now been boxed in = a Pre-defined outcome based on the first step you took. And, keep in mind, this step was driven often unconsciously, due to societal norms and perhaps peer pressure. Can this box be broached, so you can re-learn something else after changing your answer to the "do"? Yes, however, not all that easily.
What about flipping the entire equation, and turning it on its head? Let's look at it:
Define – define your life, 'Johnny'; where do you see yourself in 5? 10? 20? years. What's your ideal day look like? What are your priorities that you want to fulfill?
Learn – Let's find / lead you to someone(s), something(s) which will lead you through the steps, phases, decision points, thought processes, and commitments which are required in order to reach the lifestyle which you've defined in step one.
Then, wrapping up with Do. Now, after your thinking has been changed by this new information and perspective/mindset, it's time to act. Take action! Make mistakes. Failure is a direct input to success. Do what the someone/something advised and recommended. For instance, if you want to be wealthy and have both time & money, follow the success principles which the truly wealthy advised in the books & audios, and what your mentor(s) who have what you want have told you.
Is this not evolutionary, let alone revolutionary, in how it differs? For certain.
Why don't more folks in the West, let alone America, make the latter choice? Simple reasons > Too much noise v. proven gold medal information. Conditioning & programming. Those without success teaching those who have yet to have the opportunity to learn success principles that break the mediocrity 'chain'. A lack of reading & listening, and being unaware of the value of education v. schooling.
These reasons can be dealt with. And, it's one of my missions to reach as many as I can to help them realize that there is a choice.
Thank you for reading & may your days be blessed in all ways!

Would definitely purchase the Queen Anne again.Date published: 2017-03-10Rated 5 out of 5 by englishlady8654 from Where is the creamer and sugar bowl? This is a wonderful set of dishes, but is incomplete without the matching creamer and sugar bowl. What happened to them? Williams Sonoma, please bring them back! Such regal dinnerware which is commonly used for coffee/tea service like this Queen Anne pattern MUST have a creamer and sugar. Please bring them back, I'm begging.Date published: 2016-03-14Rated 5 out of 5 by SarahBeth7 from Quality dishes Just added more pieces to my set. No nicks or cracks after 10 years of use.

I received my MKGLAM VOXBOX! I have always wanted to try out Mary Kay Cosmetics, but was never lucky enough to get the chance to test any products from them out. When I received this box I was elated to try out all this wonderful makeup! Mary Kay makeup always intrigues me, I thought it was honestly for more adult women, but when I tried out all these pieces, boy was I wrong!
First things first, the packaging of the makeup sent to me was so adorable! Besides the cute chocolate brown and candy pink box clearly labeled Mary Kay, inside was a slew of baby pink tissue with a happy Hello! greeting inside the lid of the box. It is so lovely to see a company that puts a lot of pride into even the handling of their products. As well, came a card explaining all the goodies I got in my VoxBox.
Below are pictures and captions showing you all the great products as well as my honest first impressions!
I can honestly say that receiving this box really has opened my eyes and heart to Mary Kay Cosmetics. I have used and really enjoyed every product I was sent. I have definitely added some of these items such as the blush and translucent powder to my everyday makeup routine items. If you have not checked out their makeup before, I would definitely recommend giving them a try. Their company cares a lot about their customers and show that clearly through their care with packaging, service, and products.
If you have any questions or comments please leave them below! Or if you received this box as well let me know which products you liked or have been using the most! As always, Love Pearlsnheels ❤

On Tuesday, President Obama rolled out a plan to cap carbon emissions at existing power plants, improve efficiency standards on automobiles, double the amount of electricity produced with renewables, and lead a global movement to address climate change. But the media virtually ignored it.
All of the three major news networks spent mere minutes on the speech — which ran in total 49 minutes.
While the lack of coverage is shocking enough, perhaps the most astounding media failure of the day was by FOX News, who broke from Obama's climate speech to interview climate denier Chris Horner. Horner works for the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, and is largely funded by the oil money, including the Koch Brothers and Exxon-Mobil.
Of course, a media blackout on climate issues is nothing new. Even when outlets cover the devastating and very real affects of a changing climate, they are reluctant to mention "climate change" by name. Recently, the midwest experienced historic flooding, but only 3 percent of coverage used the term. When hurricane Sandy tore its way through New York, literally no newspapers mentioned a climate connection. Perhaps this comes from the shady, and undisclosed, connection between major news outlets and dirty energy interests.

Coral Farming in a Two Bedroom Apartment
Todd Crail (aka "farmertodd")of Toledo, Ohio has been keeping aquatic life of some sort of the other for 19 years. What began as a 10 gallon "bribe" to sing a solo in a Church Cantata has now turned into a lifetime's passion, including pompting a Bachelor's degree in Biology.
Marine critters have only been a recent addition to Todd's aquatic resume with 2.5 years of experience. However, with a strong background in Ecology, Internet resources, owning an LFS for a year, and an intense curious nature, a full throttle approach to learning granted the opportunity to quickly develop and hone his marine husbandry skills.
Current marine systems are a 125 gallon SPS dominated aquarium and a 110 gallon soft and LPS multi-system, both with a focus on propagation and growth.
When Todd isn't basking in the halide glow, he usually can be found out in local fresh water angling or seining and studying local aquatic life or hopping around various XNet Chat Channels in the evenings.

The Best Places to Retire in 2013
There is more than one entry in five states—Florida, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina and Louisiana. It's no coincidence that these are all warm-weather jurisdictions. Climate is one of the factors we weighed–but only a factor. The list also contains a number of cold-weather towns, including Fargo, N.D., Billings, Mont., and, for the first time, Bangor, Maine. After all, not everyone craves a retirement in the sun and many retirees want to stick to—or move to—a region where their kids or other relatives live.
Do you want or need to work for pay in retirement? This list doesn't take into account the strength of the underlying economy or prospects for finding a new job. So unless you've self-employed or have a long distant consulting gig already lined up, you may want to look instead at a different list we published recently, on the 25 Best Places For A Working Retirement, which heavily weighs prospective job opportunities. Two of our coldest choices, Fargo, N.D., and Billings, Mont., make both lists. But a number of the Sunbelt locations on this list don't make our working retirement picks because of their continuing high unemployment rates.
Some 15 of the 25 on our best list are new this year. There are a number of reasons for this. Every year we look closely at even more places, so the competition gets tougher. Plus, we've added some new metrics. The main criteria we look at, however, remain cost of living, median home prices and tax climate for retirees (an issue that Forbes has been tracking for years). These factors alone were enough for us to knock out every prospect in the high-cost, high-tax Northeast and the West Coast, with two exceptions, Bangor, Maine and Medford, Ore. (If New York or San Francisco, with all their cultural offerings, are part of your dream retirement, take a look at our picks here for the 10 top urban retirements neighborhoods.)
Generally, we sought communities with a cost of living below the national average, as calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics or other sources. We also looked for median home prices below the current national average, which, as measured by the National Association of Realtors, is currently $186,000. Most of the 25 are way below. The cheapest is Clearwater, Fla., with a median home price of $116,000, followed by Bangor, at $127,000. Only two cities on the list are above the national average, Austin, Tex., at $208,000, and Prescott, Ariz., at $207,000.
When it comes to non-financial factors, besides weather, we looked at such factors as availability of doctors, crime rates and encouragement for an active retirement—good biking and walking trails (as measured by Bicycling Magazine) and a high level of community volunteering (as reported by the web site VolunteeringInAmerica.org).
As for new metrics, for the first time we took into account rankings in the Milken Institute's, "Best Cities for Successful Aging" report which weighs a wide range of factors, including some we didn't rate separately, such as local investment in public and senior transportation. Nevertheless, the final judgments about which cities to include were entirely ours.
As always, we paid a lot of attention to tax climate. Keep in mind that the lowest tax states for working folks may not be the same as those for retirees. For example, nine states—Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming—lack a broad-based state income tax. But states without an income tax tend to make up for it with other, higher taxes, most notably, higher sales and real estate levies, which can hit seniors hard. Seattle, for instance, compensates for Washington State's lack of state income tax with a 9.5% sales tax—no major U.S. city's is higher. Texas imposes notably hefty property taxes. On the other hand, many states with income taxes give special breaks to retirees, such as light or no taxation on Social Security and pension benefits, and inheritances. (For more on state estate levies, click here.) After weighing all that, in our view, the best states for retirees from a tax perspective are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and West Virginia.
Of course a good tax climate can be a double-edged sword. A relatively low tax burden might signal a lower level of governmental services for retirees to use. That's one reason why we decided to add in the Milken rankings.
One thing this list doesn't take into account is that intangible factor of scenic beauty. We might note there are some pleasant settings on the list, including Asheville, N.C., Lexington, Ky., and Medford, Ore. But maybe green or even mountains (like say, in Salt Lake City) aren't your thing. And, of course, there are those personal relationships. Staying near children, other relatives and old friends easily might outweigh everything else.

University Archives - Mission
University Archives Use
University Archives Collection Development
The University Archives collects and documents the history and services of USM, as set forth (in part) by state law. This includes, but is not limited to, records and publications of USM such as: copies of all printed materials relating to the history, development and character of USM; all publications of departments, schools, and agencies of USM; records of organizational activities, campus offices, and campus branches; and USM theses and dissertations (i.e., an archival, non-circulating copy of each University of Southern Mississippi thesis and dissertation is maintained in the University Archives). The materials are primarily in English, 1910 to date. Access to many archived departmental materials is limited to those within that department unless prior written permission has been obtained from the head of that department. University publications, memorabilia, photographs, and general history items are open to the public. State-approved Records Retention Schedules establish retention periods and specify which records have historical value. Records from the founding of the University of Southern Mississippi as Mississippi Normal College in 1910 to the present are collected. To that end, the University Archives:
- Appraises, collects, organizes, describes, makes available, and preserves records of historical, cultural, legal, fiscal, and/or administrative value to the University of Southern Mississippi
- Provides facilities for the retention and preservation of such records
- Serves research and scholarship by making available and encouraging the use of its collections by members of the University and the community at large
- Implements records management by formulating and pursuing policy and procedures that will ensure the collection and preservation of archival materials in accordance with the UNIVERSITY RECORDS RETENTION AND DISPOSITION POLICY and RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULES.
The University Archives is a unit of the University of Southern Mississippi Libraries. The responsibility for the management and development of the University Archives rests with the Curator of Historical Manuscripts and Archives. However, the ultimate responsibility for the University Archives' collection is in accordance with the UNIVERSITY RECORDS RETENTION AND DISPOSITION POLICY.

EVANS, Ga. – Georgia College men's cross country placed fourth at the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championships Saturday morning. Six of seven runners placed in the top-30 for the Bobcats at Blanchard Woods Park, led by junior Daniel Horseman (Cohutta, Ga.) who took eighth, good for an All-PBC Second Team selection.
Pacing the Bobcats for the fourth time this season, Horseman crossed the finish line in the 8K race at 26:18. The time is the second best in school history, just seven seconds off the record Horseman set two weeks ago. Junior Rob Manning (Lawrenceville, Ga.) finished one minute later in 18th place with a time of 27:23.
Junior Colin Conroy (Dacula, Ga.) finished the race in 22nd crossing the end mark at 27:34. Freshman Philip Laskey (Marietta, Ga.) finished only three seconds behind for a 23rd place finish in his first conference meet.
Senior Tim Cary (Monroe, Ga.) took 28th place with a time of 27:55 to round out the scoring for the Bobcats.
Horseman became the first All-PBC runner for the Bobcat men since 2007, when both Josh Hollar and current Bobcat assistant coach Rich Dobson brought home the honor. All-time, Bobcat men have now won seven All-PBC accolades.
The Bobcats finished with 97 points, 15 behind third place Clayton State University. UNC Pembroke finished second with 63 points and Columbus State University won the title with 31. Columbus State's Meshack Koyiaki shattered the course record and won the individual title with a time of 24:14.

Source #1: 1900 U.S. census, Logan County, Oklahoma Territory, population schedule, Rose Hill Township, ED 143, sheet 3B, dwelling 50, family 50, James L. Cothirn household; Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com: accessed 15 Nov 2009); citing NARA microfilm publication T623, roll 1339.
Since I don't have his birth record, the earliest record I have of John Henry is his 1900 census record from Rose Hill Township in Logan County, Oklahoma. Rose Hill is southwest of Mulhall. (The 1931 marriage announcement of John Henry's son said that John Henry lived west of Mulhall). In 1900, John Henry was living with his mother and stepfather. Here is a transcription of the census record:
James L. Cothirn, head, white, male, b. Feb 1861, age 39, married, married for 14 years, b. Tennessee, f.b. Tennessee, m.b. Tennessee, farmer, can read/write/speak English, owns farm free of mortgage, no. 51 on farm scheduleThis again says that John Henry was born in Mar 1884 in Illinois. This makes me a little more confident because this record is the earliest created record I've found so far that states a birth date and place for him. The source is unknown because it's not possible to know who the census taker talked to that day, but my guess is that it was Carrie, since she would have been in the best position to know John Henry's birth date and place, and this info is consistent with later records. This census record states John Henry's father's birthplace as Tennessee, but it looks to me like the census taker just copied down the same info of his half-siblings. Of course, it's entirely possible John Henry's biological father was from Tennessee as well. It says that Carrie had 9 children, four of whom were still living. I would presume the four living to be John Henry, Rolena, Myrtle, and Willie. There is the family story that she had 3 or 4 girls with her first husband who all died in childhood. Some of the five children could have been with her second husband as well. This census record also tells us that the family moved sometime before Sep 1887 from Illinois to Kansas and then moved again sometime between Sep 1887 and Mar 1890 to Oklahoma.
Carrie Cothirn, wife, white, female, b. Mar 1861, age 39, married, married for 14 years, mother of 9 children, 4 children living, b. Illinois, f.b. Indiana, m.b. Indiana, able to read/write/speak English
Willie H. Cothirn, son, white, male, b. Dec 1892, age 7, single, b. Oklahoma, f.b. Tennessee, m.b. Illinois, attended school 2 months
Rolena Cothirn, daughter, white, female, b. Sep 1887, age 12, single, b. Kansas, f.b. Tennessee, m.b. Illinois, attended school 6 months, able to read/write/speak English
Myrtle Cothirn, daughter, white, female, b. Mar 1890, age 10, single, b. Oklahoma, f.b. Tennessee, m.b. Illinois, attended school 6 months, able to read/write/speak English
Johny Mertena, stepson, white, male, b. Mar 1884, age 16, single, b. Illinois, f.b. Tennessee, m.b. Illinois, attended school 4 months, able to read/write/speak English
I just realized that I need to order a copy of the marriage record of John Henry MERTENA and Blanche WELDEN. My grandmother has a copy of a marriage record for them that is in a very large frame hanging up at her house. We believe this is a copy provided for them by the minister who performed the marriage and not an official copy. They were married 25 Dec 1907 in Mulhall, Logan, Oklahoma (just one month after Oklahoma became a state). The FHL has Logan County marriages from the Judge of Probate's Office on microfilm from 1890 to 1908. I think I will order the microfilm that covers Dec 1907 when I order the Franklin County birth records.
Source #2: 1910 U.S. census, Logan County, Oklahoma, population schedule, Rose Hill Township, ED 138, sheet 7B, dwelling 131, family 135, J. Henry Mertena household; Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com: accessed 15 Nov 2009); citing NARA microfilm publication T624, roll 1260.
By the time of the 1910 census, John Henry and Blanche had been married 2 years. Their only child, my great-grandfather, wouldn't be born for another four months. It looks like John Henry hadn't ventured too far from his mother and stepfather's home, considering he was still in Rose Hill Township.
J. Henry Mertena, head, male, white, age 26, married once, married for 2 years, b. Illinois, f.b. Pennsylvania, m.b. Illinois, speaks English, farmer, works on own account, able to read/write, owns home free of mortgage, no. 21 on farm scheduleSince the official census date was 15 Apr 1910, John Henry's age of 26 supports a birth date of 11 Mar 1884. His birthplace is given again as Illinois. His father's birthplace is given here as Pennsylvania. So now we have one vote for Tennessee (albeit a shaky one) and one vote for Pennsylvania. Again, we don't know the source because we don't know who gave the information to the census taker. If it was John Henry, he was probably relaying info his mother had given him about his father's birthplace.
Blanche Mertena, wife, female, white, age 26, married once, married for 2 years, no children, b. Missouri, f.b. Kentucky, m.b. Kentucky, speaks English, able to read/write

John H. MertenaWhew! Another document that confirms his birth date as 11 Mar 1884. Too bad it didn't ask him exactly where he was born.

John Mertino, head, rents home, male, white, age 35, married, able to read and write, b. Illinois, f.b. France, m.b. Illinois, able to speak English, farmer on a general farm, employer, no. 51 on farm scheduleGreat, now we have a vote for France as John Henry's father's birthplace. So, that's one shaky vote for Tennessee, a less shaky vote for Pennsylvania, and a less shaky vote for France. As the official census day is 1 Jan 1919, his age of 35 supports a birth date of 11 Mar 1884. At least this date and his birthplace as Illinois have been consistent.
Blanche Mertino, wife, female, white, age 36, married, able to read and write, b. Missouri, f.b. Kentucky, m.b. Kentucky, able to speak English
Merlen Mertino, son, male, white, age 9, single, attends school, b. Oklahoma, f.b. Illinois, m.b. Missouri, able to speak English

Again, his age is consistent with a birth date of 11 Mar 1884, and his birthplace is consistent as Illinois.

Source #7: "J.H. Mertena Dies Saturday," obituary, Lake Charles (Louisiana) American Press, 30 Jan 1956, p. 12, col. 3.
SULPHUR -- John Henry Mertena, 71, died at 10:30 p.m. Saturday at the home of his son, 102 East Beech road, Maplewood.The date of 1889 is consistent with the dates suggested by the 1900 census for the family's move date into Oklahoma. I digress here from the task at hand, but this obituary reminds me of a story my grandmother told me about her grandfather, John Henry. She said that he had come to Louisiana because he was very sick with cancer, and my great-grandfather was his only child, so he had no other children to help take care of him. Even though he was very sick, he loved to watch Groucho Marx on television. When Marx was on television, he would get up out of the bed and come to the living room to watch it. He would always ask to hold my dad when he got up to watch Groucho Marx. My dad is the great-grandchild listed in the obituary. He was only 6 months old when John Henry died. My grandmother and my dad were living with my great-grandparents at the time because my grandfather was in the Navy. That must have been interesting having four generations under one roof, if only for three months.
A resident of Mulhall, Okla., for 35 years, he had been visiting his son, Merlen P. Mertena, the past three months. The body was sent by the Hixson funeral home of Sulphur Sunday afternoon to the Smith funeral home in Guthrie, Okla.
Services will be Thursday at Mulhall and burial will be in the Odd Fellows cemetery in Marshall, Okla.
Survivors include his wife, Blanche; one son, Merlen P. Mertena; four grandchildren; one great-grandchild; one brother, W.H. Cothern of Mulhall, Okla.; and two sisters, Mrs. Edgar Norris of Crescent, Okla., and Mrs. Henry Tate of Lokeba, Okla.
Mr. Mertena was born in East St. Louis, Ill., A farmer and cattleman, he had lived in central Oklahoma since 1889.
All records seem to be pretty consistent about a birth date of 11 Mar 1884.
Here's a tally for the birthplace of John Henry MERTENA:
Illinois - 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 census
Franklin County, IL - delayed birth record of son, Merlen Paris MERTENA (1944)
death record of son, Merlen Paris MERTENA (1989)
East St. Louis, St. Clair County, IL - death record of John Henry MERTENA (1956)
obituary of John Henry MERTENA (1956)
Here's a tally of the results for the birthplace of John Henry's father:
Tennessee - 1900 census (may be the birthplace of stepfather instead of father)
Pennsylvania - 1910 census, 1930 census
France - 1920 census, death record of John Henry MERTENA (1956)
Here's a tally of the results for the name of John Henry's father:
J.H. MERTENA - death record of John Henry MERTENA (1956)
My next post will focus on the records I've found so far for John Henry's mother, Carrie ORTH.

Give yourself one point for every no you answered to numbers 1-4, one point for every yes response to numbers 5-8 and five points for every yes to numbers 9 and above.
Now that you're finished and have your score, the next step is to find out what it means. Simply take your total score and see which of the categories below apply to you.
Score: 0 Points
You got a score of zero? Don't worry -- it's a good thing! It sounds like your relationship is on a pretty healthy track. Maintaining healthy relationships takes some work -- keep it up! Remember that while you may have a healthy relationship, it's possible that a friend of yours does not. If you know someone who is in an abusive relationship, find out how you can help them by visiting loveisrespect.org.
Score: 1-2 Points
If you scored one or two points, you might be noticing a couple of things in your relationship that are unhealthy, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are warning signs. It's still a good idea to keep an eye out and make sure there isn't an unhealthy pattern developing.
The best thing to do is to talk to your partner and let them know what you like and don't like. Encourage them to do the same. Remember, communication is always important when building a healthy relationship. It's also good to be informed so you can recognize the different types of abuse.
Score: 3-4 Points
If you scored three or four points, it sounds like you may be seeing some warning
signs of an abusive relationship. Don't ignore these red flags. Something that starts
small can grow much worse over time. No relationship is perfect -- it takes
work! But in a healthy relationship you won't find abusive behaviors.
Score: 5 or More Points
If you scored five or points, you are definitely seeing warning signs and may be in an abusive relationship. Remember the most important thing is your safety -- consider making a safety plan.
You don't have to deal with this alone. There is help.

The Phillies have made an interesting series so far in New York. They have rallied late in the game in both games of the series to come up with victories. On Friday night, the Phils were down 3-2 when in the 8th inning, the Phils scored to tie the game and then in the 9th, the team combined a few hits to scoring 3 runs to win. Last night was no different, the Phillies couldn't do much against Met's pitcher Mike Pelfrey, but scored 3 times in the 8th inning and once more in the 9th to seal a victory in that game.
The Mets team is just recovering from a scathing verbal attack from the owner of the team, Fred Wilpon. He named names, and had some tough comments to make about some of the players that he has signed the checks for. He was probably right on a few comments. You don't often hear about this type of comment from an owner though, and it may be good that we don't. I think Wilpon can look in the mirror though and find one of the biggest problems of the Mets, himself. He's the person who hired the GM and manager that lasted years longer than they should have.
The Phillies are in position to sweep the series from the Mets. This rivalry between the Phillies and the Mets has definitely been more quiet than in previous years. The 'war of words' that existed between the two clubs in previous years hasn't taken place. The New York papers haven't jumped all over Phillies players for saying something about the Mets or anyone else for that matter. It's been sort of like a deflated balloon from the way it used to be.
I think the Mets franchise would have benefited from a totally new owner. Someone that has the best interest of the team at heart and makes the moves to relate to that. The Wilpon era should be over in New York, the fans should demand his ouster as well.
The Phillies go with Vance Worley for his first start in New York. Worley has been fairly solid for the Phils with a 2-0 record and 2.14 ERA. He'll face Jonathan Niese for the Mets who is 3-5 with a 4.33 ERA. Worley pitched 1.0 innings last year on September 26 2010 against the Mets in Philadelphia.
Cole Hamels earned his 7th win for the Phillies last night, and Chase Utley went 2-3 with 1 RBI. Ryan Howard had 2 RBI on the night as well.

Open Letter To President Barack Hussein Obama
President Barack Hussein Obama,
As my son is heading off to Afghanistan today to defend this country against Islamic Terrorism or as you put it, an overseas contingency, I read that you are now planning your fifth vacation since July, not to mention your 44 games of golf as of July 16, 2010 and your little fantasy basketball camp over your birthday. All this while the country is in a financial meltdown, no new job creation in the private sector, and we are at war against Islamic Terrorism, and of course let's not forget the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Mr President, when is it you find time to lead this nation in between all your recreational and fundraising activities?
Personally, I find you and your family's conduct disrespectful and arrogant. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
You frolic about this country on the taxpayers dime in constant campaign mode blaming President George W. Bush and the Republicans for everything under the sun including the mortgage fiasco that you and your friends Barney Frank and Chris Dodd created and you constantly evade your own personal responsibility for the mess this country is in.
President Obama, you sir, are a disgrace to office in which you hold and a disgrace to this great nation. With all his faults, President G. W. Bush is a far more honorable man then yourself and you sir could never hold a candle to him. The respect he shows to our troops will forever hold in my memory and shadow over any of he may have made along the way, at least he accepted the responsibility that goes along with the office in which you stole.
I personally cannot wait to see the voters of this great nation give your party the boot come November of 2010 and to see you come away from 2012 as a badly beaten man. Not because of your race, but because of your lack of leadership, honesty and honor.
Disrespectfully yours,

Cultural Wars: Tujague's Saved
Sometimes there are victories in the wars to save the culture. Last week there was such a win. Tujague's, at 157 years old, the city's second oldest restaurant (after Antoine's) and the last of the old-style Creole food purveyors will survive.
That the restaurant persevered into this century was due to Steven Latter, its most recent owner, who worked to maintain the dignity of the old place. After Latter died last February there were rumors that his brother, Stanford, who owns the building in which Steven ran his business, was going to make a deal with someone who would turn the place into a T-shirt and trinket shop with the extra indignity of selling fried chicken. Where Tujague's kitchen prepared classic indigenous dishes, the pre-packaged, deep fried greasy chicken would probably be plopped on Styrofoam plates. That would have been a desecration of the restaurant's history.
No one really talked much during the episode, so we will never know how close the T-shirt/fried chicken idea came to being implemented. There were also rumors that Chef John Besh, at the urging of area foodies, looked into buying the building. Besh has pulled off many amazing entrepreneurial deals but not this time.
Then there was a period of silence. Central to all the rumors was that Steven Latter's son, Mark, who had moved into a management position at the restaurant even before his father died, wanted to run the business.
Stanford Latter, if the rumors are correct, had to choose between big bucks tinged with gaudiness or family pride tinged with preservation. Whatever the deal making was, in the end he did the right thing. He signed a lease, which is reportedly long-term, with his nephew. In the end, Stanford Latter will not be remembered as the man who killed Tujague's; to the contrary he apparently helped save it.
Mark Latter has promised to spiff up the old place and add some new dishes to the menu, but to keep the old Creole specialties in place, too. Nowhere else does a slice of beef brisket precede practically every meal. Horseradish was never in such good company. Preceding that was a serving of chilled shrimp to be dipped in a savory house-made remoulade sauce. The seven-course meal journey through history was just beginning.
Several years ago the former New Orleans symphony was on the rocks. I remember reading a column by a music critic who complained that with the symphony in such a shaky condition he felt there was no point in his critiquing the music – survival overshadowed that.
That's how I have felt about Tujague's. Why gush over the food when it might not be served much longer? Now that the restaurant will survive I would like to say a word about one particular dish: Chicken Bonne Femme. That word is "definitive." I have tried the dish at several other old-line, big name restaurants and no one comes close to Tujague's where the serving has a rich garlicky flavor and the accompanying potatoes and veggies burst with flavor. In the confused and fused new world of tilapia with pesto sauce, and chipotle-flavored Buffalo wings, the dish is a reminder about how great some of the old, and practically forgotten, Creole dishes could be.
That there always seems to be another cultural battle in New Orleans may be due partially to there being so much culture worth saving—and that is due to victories from the past. Now it is time to celebrate at Tujague's bar. If Mark Latter is there give him a high five. And if you see Stanford Latter, buy him a Sazerac.

Using LEID Products Electronic Lockers, Madison County Public Library Expands their 'Library-on-the-GO' Program to Meet Growing Patron Demand
Auburn Hills, MI – May 15, 2012 – LEID Products, LLC., the leader in electronic locker and cabinet storage with biometric asset protection and control, today announced Madison County Public Library has extended library access to patrons through the installation of a third Library-on-the-GO (LOTG) location in the northern part of Madison County Kentucky. Busier-than-ever schedules, $4 a gallon gas, the continuing love of reading and need for information are the elements driving the expansion of the Library's popular LOTG program. The new location opened Friday April 20th at Dishman's Shell west of Exit 95 on Interstate 75.
"The Library-on-the-GO program helps us serve our 42,000 card holders better by giving them greater access to library materials and saving them time and gas. Use of library materials and services continues to grow in Madison County, and we're thrilled to be able to encourage that growth through this program," said Ruthie Maslin, director of Madison County's public library system. "These mini libraries offer a book drop for customers to return materials plus LEID's electronic locker system that allows customers to put books on hold and have them delivered to the Library-on-the-GO location closest to them."
"We have been very happy with the security, durability and ease-of-use of LEID's electronic lockers," Maslin stated when asked about the performance of LEID's self-service electronic lockers.
The LOTG program began with its first installation in 2010 and has been very well received by patrons who value the convenience. The existing locations in Waco/Moberly and Kingston serve library users in the western part of the county more distant from the main library locations in Richmond and Berea. This third location is in the northern sector of the county, about 7 miles from the closest full service branch.
According to Maslin, locations for the LOTG have been chosen based on community gather points. The businesses asked to host these mini libraries, have been very welcoming and accommodating. Two of the LOTG's are at gas stations, Dishman's Shell and Cole Moberly Shell, and one is a located outside Dollar Valu Plus, a retail shop.
Madison County Public Library delivers materials to LOTG locations three times a week. The self-service mini library system encompasses LEID's Electronic Modular Access Units with keypad access and a library drop box for returning materials. The outside locations allow for 24/7 patron access. To use LOTG, patrons obtain a special LOTG sticker from the Richmond or Berea library branch. Library items can be placed on hold online or by phone using the special sticker code. Patrons have three days to pick up their holds after receiving notification their materials have been delivered to their selected LOTG.
The new LOTG location at Dishman's Shell was made possible through a donation from the Madison County Athenaeum in honor of Sue Hays, the library's first director who retired in 2010.
Often referred to as a 'Library Express', the concept of a self-service mini library branch has been growing in popularity across the nation. Public libraries continue to be faced with flat budgets, increased demands for services, and constricted open hours while the cost for construction and personnel continues to escalate. The self-service solution allows public libraries to provide library access where demand is insufficient to support a traditional 'brick and mortar' library.
LEID's self-service library solutions include the option of various configurations of electronic lockers and cabinets and the option to include the innovative self-service iLibrary Kiosk which allows patrons to browse and order library materials at the site of the mini library branch. LEID recently announced Version 2.0 of the iLibrary Kiosk, which includes enhancements to its sleek tamper proof construction and larger kiosk screen for additional security and functionality.
For more information on the Madison County LOTG program, contact Ruthie Maslin, director of Madison County's public library system at 859-623-6704 or 859-408-3973.

Mark McDonald, group vice president and head of research in Gartner Executive Programs, suggests replacing the IT budget / revenue ratio with a metric that has meaning – like IT headcount to Free Cash Flow. That is a metric one CIO is using and it makes more sense because it can be managed.
He suggests measuring IT headcount because more than 70% of most IT budgets are already contractually committed – effectively removing them for short-term management changes. IT headcount is the result of factors the CIO can control, like the level of automation, the skill of their people, the structure of their operations and the nature of their IT investment budget.
McDonald suggests that free cash flow is a better numerator, as it is more indicative of a company's health. Management can influence free cash slow and manage it to some extent in either a strong or weak economies. Case in point; look at organizations building cash in the recession. Free cash flow is also something that IT can influence as IT systems integrate process and information flows which improves end-to-end process and cash performance.
It is harder to measure, free cash flow and IT headcount, but it should produce a clearer signal and inform better management decisions and actions.

Each week, Lana Hoks works a different shift.
One week finds Hoks on the third shift for a local manufacturer. The following week, she's on second shift. The third week, she's a first-shift worker.
Yet, the busy mom and grandmother from Neenah still finds time to take classes as she pursues her bachelor's degree, thanks to Lakeland University's adult education program and its BlendEd feature.
"BlendEd is everything to me," Hoks said. "Its flexibility helps me to balance my family life, my work life and my schooling."
It's that flexibility that has students like Hoks excited. Lakeland is expanding its BlendEd program this spring with three new ways to take a class.
Lakeland launched BlendEd® in 2005 with classes that allowed students to seamlessly transition from week to week between the traditional classroom and online. Now, the institution has developed three more ways for students to take classes.
"We have yet to find a program that provides students with this much flexibility within a single class," said Zach Voelz, Lakeland's vice president for enrollment management "Many colleges and universities around the country offer students different pieces of our program."
Learn more about the additional class options with the new BlendEd.
Voelz said the push for more options has come from students like Hok who are shopping the higher education market for programs that don't require major lifestyle changes.
"Working adults want quality academic programs offered in flexible formats," Voelz said. "It is forcing higher education to be creative in the ways we make classes available to students."
Lakeland piloted the expanded BlendEd in the spring of 2013, and Voelz said feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive.
"Many students really love the opportunity to attend a live class without having to leave home," Voelz said. "We heard from students who had time to have dinner with their family, then login to class without having to travel."
Voelz said he often shares two student stories when discussing BlendEd with prospective students:
- A Lakeland graduate student who travels regularly for his job (he is a pilot for a major manufacturer) loves the ability to log in to a live course from his hotel room.
- Another graduate student was admitted to the hospital unexpectedly during the middle of a term. He didn't want to miss class, however, so he logged in to a live class from his hospital bed.
Voelz said students also like getting live, online access to classes that, in the past, might have been only offered at a center in another part of the state. "Our new features are stripping away the geographic barrier for students," Voelz said. "Students have said the savings in time and money was much appreciated."
Lakeland's programming for working adults began in 1978 with the creation of its Lifelong Learning Program, the state's first evening degree-completion program for working adults. Lakeland created one of the nation's first complete online degree programs in 1998.
This fall, approximately 2,850 students were enrolled. Lakeland has centers in Chippewa Falls, Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, Neenah, Sheboygan and Wisconsin Rapids.

City draws Cambridge drug firm to Fan Pier
Vertex deal a key in remaking of waterfront area
In one of the largest office deals in recent Boston history, drug maker Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. will move into two new buildings in the Seaport District, catapulting the city's effort to transform the waterfront into a neighborhood of technology companies, academic institutions, and medical firms.
Vertex yesterday signed a letter of intent to relocate its headquarters from Cambridge to the Fan Pier complex in late 2013. The 23-acre development has just one tower now, but is slated to have eight buildings of offices, residences, stores, and hotel rooms, as well as parks and a marina.
The deal is a watershed in Boston's campaign to court a biotechnology industry that has largely eluded it, with most drug companies preferring to be closer to Cambridge's prestigious universities or out in massive suburban office parks that offer cheaper rents and room for expansion.
Vertex's relocation is also a huge boost for Fan Pier developer Joseph Fallon, who will soon be able to resume construction after a recession that dried up funding for large-scale projects in Boston and across the country.
"This is a jump-start for the entire waterfront,'' said Mayor Thomas M. Menino, who has been trying to remake the area into an "Innovation District'' by offering incentives to companies to locate there. "Vertex has made the decision to be on the forefront of the Innovation District, and that decision will lead other companies to follow suit.''
Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, and the company has not yet signed the lease. The lease is contingent on an unusual clause: Vertex must receive federal approval of its first major in-house commercial drug, telaprevir, a treatment for hepatitis C. US regulators are expected to act on the company's application by June.
Vertex would occupy about 1.1 million square feet, filling a pair of 18-story buildings at Fan Pier, with an option to expand into a third to be built there. Vertex's portion of the $2 billion Fan Pier complex is estimated at $800 million, according to state officials.
State and city leaders are providing Vertex with a substantial tax break and other inducements to help close the deal. Vertex's lease will require it to pay real estate taxes on the new buildings. Boston will provide Vertex with an $11.8 million reduction in property taxes through 2018.
But even with that reduction, the new buildings will result in $58.1 million in additional tax revenues for the city over that period, Boston officials said.
The state, meanwhile, will provide $10 million in tax breaks in exchange for Vertex creating 500 additional full-time jobs by 2015. Massachusetts will also borrow $50 million for roads, water and sewer, and other necessary infrastructure, to be repaid with tax revenues generated from Vertex's buildings.
Any shortfall in revenue needed to pay off the state's bonds would come from the City of Boston or from the developer.
"This will help to launch one of the largest construction projects in the country at a time when a lot of people in that industry still need work,'' said Gregory Bialecki, Governor Deval Patrick's economic development chief. "It will also help ensure that the many people who work at Vertex will continue to work in Massachusetts for many years to come and will be joined by many hundreds of new colleagues.''
The offer from Massachusetts comes on the heels of the debacle with Evergreen Solar Inc., which earlier this month said it is closing a factory in Devens that was built with the help of millions in state incentives, resulting in the layoffs of 800 workers.
Bialecki said Vertex's incentives would be subject to rigorous clawback provisions: If the firm did not meet its job creation targets, it would forfeit the tax breaks.
Vertex had previously considered moving to Fan Pier, but held off when the recession slowed work on the property. However, the parties continued talking, and closed the deal as other landlords tried to land Vertex. Neither Fallon nor Vertex would disclose its rent in the new buildings, which would be among the first to be built in Boston following the economic downturn.
The buildings will be the second and third major structures at Fan Pier, and would be between the existing 18-story tower at One Marina Park Drive and the John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse. Fan Pier has been in the making for some 30 years, with several previous owners unable to get it underway. Even today the site is mostly covered by parking lots.
"When a company occupies 1 million square feet in one location, it's an immediate game-changer,'' Fallon, the chief executive of the Fallon Co., said yesterday. "There is no question we will see more demand for retail stores and residences in this area.''
The relocation will allow Vertex to consolidate its 1,300 workers, now divided among 10 buildings across Cambridge, into a single location.
The decision to relocate comes at a critical juncture for the biotech, which has recently hired 300 employees in anticipation of selling telaprevir, a drug it has been developing for 15 years. If it gets a regulatory nod this spring, Vertex will be the first approved, commercially available treatment for hepatitis C, a disease that has become an epidemic among baby boomers who were infected decades ago, either by a blood transfusions or injecting drugs.
The market to treat hepatitis C is expected to be worth billions of dollars annually over the next decade. Vertex is trying to beat out New Jersey-based Merck & Co., which is seeking approval of a similar drug.
Real estate specialists said the firm's relocation stands to have a huge impact on the future development of the South Boston Waterfront. Until now, the area has lacked a major tenant to give credibility to the city's effort to transform it into an Innovation District.
"You couldn't script a better company coming to the waterfront,'' said Tom Hynes, chief executive of the real estate firm Colliers Meredith & Grew. "One company can really make a huge difference, and this transaction is an example of that.''

Stop by Walser BMW of Wichita located at 11000 E 13th St N, Wichita, KS 67206 for a quick visit and a great vehicle!
Jesus was wonderful and super helpful and helped us pick out our first bmw. We are very happy w our decision and encourage others to go to bmw of Wichita.
Walser BMW of Wichita is amazing, they are so professional and personable. I really appreciate how they do business, I'm always impressed! Blaize F. is a joy to work with, he took an unfortunate situation and turned it into something positive and exciting, thank you Blaize!!
I had been looking online for a BMW convertible for a long time and then I saw the one I wanted at Walser BMW of Wichita. Since I live near Minneapolis, I assumed that I was going to have to catch a flight to Wichita to check it out but Michelle was super helpful! She took some videos of her walking around the car and showing every detail, even pointing out any imperfections in the paint (since it is a 7 year old used car.) She went over the various warranty packages that are available on the phone with me and ...
I worked with Blaize Foltz to find the perfect car for me. Not only was the process super easy but Blaize also made it fun. He's an easy going and very understanding person so I felt comfortable through the entire process. Thanks for helping me find my car! I love it!
I had a great experience buying my first BMW from them. At first I was really skeptic in buying the car because I'm not from Kansas and lived in Minnesota! I never test drive or seen the car in person just the informations online and with the help from Mandi Calderon, we were able to seal the deal! Mandi was awesome to work with! She's super friendly and accommodated to all my needs in making me one satisfied customer! She lives up to what my expectations of buying an expensive car comes with great standards and services...thank ...
Quality service! Friendly and professional!
Had to run by the Walser BMW on my way home from work, terrified it was going to be something bad. My car kept shifting into park at each stop light. Even though it was an hour and a half from closing time for them on a Friday, they worked me in and ran a full diagnostic. Turned out to be a battery going bad. Thankfully, they replaced the battery and I was on my way... but not until they washed it and cleaned the inside out! Great service!
From the moment we walked through the door we experienced nothing but professional service. Arnold Kim (AK) looked after us and did an exceptional job. We are extremely happy with our BMW and would highly recommend BMW of Wichita. It is refreshing to purchase from a dealership with high standards and up-front competitive pricing.
I had a great experience at BMW of Wichita. AK accommodated my busy work schedule so I spent very little time sitting and waiting at the dealership. He kept me informed by text on the process, thoroughly showed me all the features and answered all the questions I had about my new vehicle. Will definitely return for future purchases.
AK at Walser was amazing and super easy to work with! He made the car buying experience enjoyable and I would highly recommend him to everyone looking for a new car!

Watched a re-run of the Gatti - Gomez fight yesterday. Gomez was in rampant form, Arturo Gatti never threatened a come back.
Watched a re-run of the Gatti - Gomez fight yesterday. Gomez was in rampant form, Arturo Gatti never threatened a come back.
And regarding Marciano, I had suspected as much, but like you said it's a record that is impossible to argue with, like we hear with Cricket so much these days, you can only beat whoever is put in front of you. But yeah, to be honest I'm pretty new to boxing, or at least I have only recently started really getting interested in it and stuff, so my views are that of a total novice so I apologise in advance if I appear to be talking out of my arse.
Edit: And yeah, typical crap from the media, bigging up Gatti and virtually ignoring Gomez pre-fight and then going on about how Gatti was too old and washed up and crap afterwards. Totally taking away from the fact that Gomez put on a clinical display in that fight, dominated through seven rounds.
Also the Kermit Cintron fight before that was pretty explosive and fun to watch, I really like the look of that guy from what I've seen of him. Really strong, and his ability to throw cross-counters almost at will really impressed me.

By all reports, he intended to take Foreman on by doing a number on him with his jab, but realised after 1 round the ring was too slow and he'd tire too much, so he reverted to what seemed like lunacy - letting arguably the heaviest puncher in the history of the division to that time beat on him until he got tired. That's gutsy.
He really had two careers - pre lay-off and post lay-off. Ali pre-lay off was as fast a fighter as there's ever been in heavyweights. Post lay off he lost a lot of his speed, but developed/ discovered how great his heart and chin were.
Nevertheless, what you say is right. It's almost impossible not to let your judgment of him be clouded by his iconic social/ political status .

Khan was given a rough time by Scotland's Limond
British lightweight champion Jon Thaxton has challenged Amir Khan to a fight and questioned the newly-crowned Commonwealth champion's chin.
Khan, 20, was floored by Scotland's Willie Limond on Saturday on his way to claiming his first major title.
Thaxton said: "He's said a lot about me in the press, disrespected me, so now it's time for him to step up the plate.
"There have always been question marks about his ability to take a punch, now I'm convinced that he's got no chin."
Olympic silver medallist Khan captured the Commonwealth belt when Limond failed to emerge for the ninth round at the O2 Arena in London, but only after climbing off the canvas and surviving some torrid moments of his own in the sixth.
He's getting knocked out the first big punch I land, I would get the job done properly
Jonathan Thaxton
And Norwich's Thaxton added: "I've got the British title, he's got the Commonwealth title, so let's do things the old-fashioned way and put them both on the line.
"If he says yes, the fight can happen. My promoter Mick Hennessy wants to make the big fights, so we aren't going to let politics get in the way of things.
"I'm not going to hide behind my promoter, we will happily go and box on one of their shows."
Thaxton, 32, made the first defence of his British title with a stoppage of English champion Scott Lawton in March and he is convinced he would have the measure of Khan.
"He was floored heavily by someone I consider a light puncher, someone who gave up his status as mandatory contender to my British title," said Thaxton.
"He's getting knocked out the first big punch I land. I would get the job done properly, I wouldn't let him off the hook. I think he was one punch away from being stopped.
"He's got a bit to prove now and I am giving him the opportunity to fight for the British title against the number one lightweight in Britain.
"He has disrespected a few fighters. He's been talking about being ready for a world title by the time he's 21. I don't believe he's even good enough to win a British title."
The discussion re Marciano and Ali is an interesting one.I believe shortly after Ali retired some computer experts in the US put both fighters relevant details into a program including how they won etc etc and the end result was that even though Ali at the end of the 14th was way ahead on points,Marciano had enough left to come out and knock him(Ali) out in the last.Someone who knows their way around computers could look for a reference and maybe post it here.
wouldn't take too much interest in that espn tbh. it was done as part of a series if i recall correctly and obviously they only have the rights to certain fights so they have to work their list around that.
but seriously, george foreman at number 20? so laughable, almost as overrated as ali is by the casual viewer and uninformed media.
meanwhile the fight of the year will take place in cardiff on november the 3rd as the two undisputed kings of super middleweight get it on, britians finest by a distance joe cazlaghe gets in the ring with the danish viking mikkel kessler.

Mundine is much improved and would give either of them a decent fight IMO. He didn't exactly embarass himself last time against Kessler, and every fight since he's looked far superior. He absolutely murdered Soliman, in what was after all a title fight. Didn't see his most recent defence, though.
I'm looking forward for him to be matched against whoever wins, anyway.
It's cold on the outside they say
But the cold leaves you clear while the heat leaves a haze
the winner of this fight will be looking for much bigger fish to fry, the winner of winky-hopkins being their main target.
The boxing website I use the most as it is deep and comprehensive has Calzaghe the top rated Super-Middleweight in history and Mikkel Kessler is rated 10th.
Anytime you have 2 of the top 10 in history going at it then you know you cant miss it.
If I only just posted the above post, please wait 5 mins before replying as there will be edits

steve collins at number two is another odd choice, sure he beat benn and eubank, but both were well on the slide then.
although there is no doubt, calzaghe and kessler are top class fighters, there is no one between 160 and 175 that could take either of them.
However, when Collins beat Eubank for the first time it was an upset and Eubank was still riding high.
Another point about Eubank is that he won his wars (well won 1 drew 1) with Benn but could be very ordinary and was himself the beneficiary of some dubious decisions. The fact he went undefeated so long was a lot to do with some generous ring-side interpretations.
One think that you have to love about Eubank was that although he was a talker and flash he had a granite jaw. Cant think of many that prefered him as a fighter over Benn though.
