In a perfect world, Keely Krueger, Woodstock District 200's director of language and culture, would hire strictly from a pool of local candidates.
But in a dual language program that requires bilingual teachers not just for Spanish class but for all subjects, Krueger struggles to find enough candidates to fill all positions. So, since 2000, the district has recruited teachers from Spain through an exchange program run by the Illinois State Board of Education.
It's a program that takes on a heightened importance in years such as this one when, Krueger said, area applicants are particularly thin.
"To be honest with you, I really struggled this year to find teachers locally," she said. "Those positions that I can't find locally, that's when I try to find someone from Spain."
The district has most frequently used the program to fill bilingual positions that require rare skill sets – notably, special education and speech pathology teachers. District 200 currently has about eight teachers from Spain, and is looking to add an additional three or four during this year's recruitment efforts.
The state board of education pairs with the Ministry of Education and Culture of Spain to set school districts up with candidates.
Depending on negotiations, the Spanish ministry of education will sometimes pay the travel expenses of district administrators, ISBE Spokeswoman Mary Fergus said. Harvard District 50 Superintendent Lauri Tobias will travel to Spain this week to interview candidates.
Last year, 11 Illinois school districts hired a total of 33 teachers from Spain. Teachers hired in the U.S. are granted three-year visas. Some end up staying longer.
Neus Vilchez, a first-grade teacher at Crosby Elementary School in Harvard, taught for four years in Barcelona before coming to the U.S. to teach under the exchange program.
"I thought it was a great opportunity to know another educational system," she said.
Here, Vilchez teaches science and social studies in Spanish. The English-speaking students in her class indirectly learn Spanish literacy.
"Most of them, they don't speak a lot of Spanish yet, so it's a challenge to make them understand all the stuff they have to learn in Spanish," she said. "But it's a nice challenge."
Vilchez also gets to share her cultural background with her students.
That's a perk that isn't overlooked by districts recruiting Spaniards.
"We can bring that cultural piece to the community," said Carolyn Villarreal, District 50 bilingual program coordinator. "They have that opportunity to learn firsthand from folks who are bringing pretty different ideas and linguistic abilities to our students."
The state board of education also has, in the past, offered opportunities to recruit teachers from Mexico, but that spinoff of the exchange program isn't active at the moment.
Both District 200 and District 50 said they'd be open to seeking teachers from other Spanish-speaking countries in the future.
"They enhance the whole cultural piece of the Spanish program," said Krueger, who noted that District 200 also has teachers from Guatemala, Venezuela and Peru – although they didn't come from the program.
"As native speakers of the language, the framework of the language is a little different," she added. "They kind of bring that framework to us."

I assume you're talking about a multisession Puppy.
So the CD did boot, just not with the changes you made? If so, Puppy should be able to mount the CD or DVD and see what's on it. If a session was saved, it should be on the disk.
How much RAM do you have? Also, I think the disk needs to be in the same drive it booted from in order to save to the disk.

Its best to use burniso2cd in Puppy to write the iso to dvd which will leave it open for saving sessions after booting from it.

Thanks for the replies
I burn't the live dvd using burniso2cd
The cd was burn't using pburn
Both were burned at a slow speed..6x
Both are set for multisession
I have a Plentiun D dual core 3.0ghz with 2gb of ram
Both the cd and dvd boot fine..they just do not save any changes I have made
Cd and dvd are in the same drive that they are booted from
Mounting both disc and no squeezesave.2fs files are found
I have tried saving with disc mounted when shutdown I get an indication session saved
When saving with disc unmount I get an error unable to mount disc
I have saved Macpup with the same pc and disc drive so I have to assume it is dpupexprimo that has a problem

Here's what I see in ROX when I mount my multisession DVD. The seven dated directories at the top are saved sessions. When Puppy boots, the contents of the sessions are loaded into RAM and then Puppy's layered filesystem combines them with the sfs file after it is loaded.

I have all the files for booting the only difference is the name of the distro
I do not have any of the save files like yours
I have checked every time after trying to save and no .2fs have ever been saved
I have been told that the .2fs is not the best that .3fs or.4fs would be better
There is no panel to change the type of fs files
Any other suggestion that I can try !!!

I think you're overthinking this. For one thing, the filesystem on the DVD is, as far as I know, not changeable, and since multisession Puppy loads into RAM and runs entirely from there, I'm not sure what kind of filesystem it uses, but I'm pretty sure it is not 2fs, 3fs or anything like them.
Tell you what, try making a multisession DVD of some other version of Puppy, for instance
, and see if it works like it ought to. You can use a rewritable DVD if you have one. Multisession Puppy works great from a DVD+RW or DVD-RW. Just download the iso and use Burniso2cd to burn it. You don't even have to blank the rewritable DVD first; Burniso2cd will simply overwrite whatever is on it.

I have done Lupu-5.28 and Macpup-5.28
On this same computer and optical drive and they both saved files
Even did Macpup on a pen drive and it saved files
This dpupexprimo was downloaded and the md5sum checked and burned with burniso2cd
To a dvd/rw with multisession open
The save configure file says it will save to squeeze_save.2fs
The other distro's saved to pup_save.2fs
That file or any dates dir as your /mnt/sro never appears in rox
I have mounted sr0 after every try
I will try another distro and let you know the results.
Thanks for the help

Man, I wish Cacharel was still as cool as it was back in 2001. I think this collection is the reason why I developed a light obsession with toile de jouy. I loved the way Suzanne Clements and Inacio Ribeiro mixed classic patterns with modern silhouettes and made such clothes for cool girls. Kinda like Marc by Marc before Marc by Marc existed*. I'd give anything to have any of these pieces in my closet today.
*Actually, I think Marc by Marc debuted this same season, but I think it was more of a quiet launch because the first fashion show of his' that appears on Style.com is the Fall 2001 collection, which was his second. Random Information for your everyday life. I know. Ack!

Pictured: Colin West, a senior co-captain of the Harvard
men's squash team, is ranked No. 2 in the CSA preseason individual
Photo courtesy of Gil Talbot.
The Harvard men's squash team looks to improve upon a fourth-place at last year's College Squash Association (CSA) Team Championship. The Crimson finished the regular season with an overall record of 7-6 and 3-3 mark in the Ivy League. Harvard enters the season ranked fifth in the CSA preseason national poll.
Harvard returns 14 players from last season's squad, six seniors, five juniors and three sophomores. Among those returning are senior co-captains Frank Cohen and Colin West. West took third-place at last year's CSA Individual Championship and begins the 2009-10 campaign as the second-ranked player in the CSA preseason national individual poll. He has attained All-American status twice and will aim to become the 12th player in program history to earn All-Ivy honors four times. West posted an 11-2 record at the top spot in 2008-09. Also returning for the Crimson is junior Richard Hill. Hill finished last season with a 10-3 record, the second-best on the team behind West.
Earlier this year, head coach Satinder Bajwa announced the addition of four newcomers. Charles Gertler, Alexander Ma, Jason Michas and Zeke Scherl will all compete to earn a spot in the starting lineup this year.
Harvard will play a demanding schedule once again this winter. The season begins with three straight road matches. The Crimson will travel to Brown to start the season Nov. 20 and will play matches at Williams Nov. 22 and Dartmouth Dec. 2 before its first home match of the season. Harvard makes its return to Barnaby Courts Dec. 5 as the Crimson hosts Cornell. After the match against the Big Red, Harvard won't compete again until 2010 when it takes on Rochester Jan. 23 at home. A trip to perennial powerhouse Trinity will precede the final two home matches of the season. The six seniors will play their final home matches of their careers as the Crimson takes on Penn, Feb. 6, and Princeton, Feb. 7. Harvard closes out the season on the road against Yale.
The Crimson will compete at the CSA Team Championships in New Haven, Conn. Feb. 19-21. Harvard will try to reach the final match of the CSA Team Championships for the first time since 2004-05. The CSA Individual Championships will take place Mar. 5-7 in Hartford, Conn.
The Crimson has plans to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity this year and continue to volunteer with Kids Squash Program, a free community squash program for local players.

OC Housewife Lynne Curtin Finally Moves Out Of Evicted Home
The eviction saga of The Real Housewives of Orange County star Lynne Curtin has finally ended, as she moved out of her Arch Beach Heights home Wednesday, after receiving another eviction notice on Tuesday.
At first, Lynne refused to move, forcing the homeowner to file an eviction notice with the Orange County Sheriff's Department on Tuesday. Several neighbors confirmed seeing Lynne and other family members move belongings from their home to a moving van. One of the neighbors also said this isn't the first time the family have been evicted.
We initially reported that Lynne and her husband, Frank, never paid their security deposit, owing over $12,000 to the homeowner.
"Instead of paying the rent, security deposit and commission to their Realtor, Lynne got a facelift and her daughter got a nose job," a source told the OCRegister.
The OCRegister also reports the Orange County housewives have reportedly earned $120,000 or more per seasons, however Lynne's finances from the show are unknown.
Though all their belongings were moved, the garage door was left open, revealing storage and camera equipment owned by Evolution Media, the company filming the show for Bravo.

Kinston's former running back broke ankle in midst of recruiting process his senior year.
Editor�s note: This is the last story of a seven-part series about former athletes from area high schools.
Michael Thompson got his first football when he was 4-years old.
He began playing on a team just a few years later, but long before then, Thompson formed a dream.
He was going to play NFL football.
The 2008 Kinston High School graduate had it all planned out: become a standout running back for the Vikings, garner an offer from UNC and, finally, hear his name called in the 2012 NFL draft.
He attributed innate speed to his productive career at Kinston.
�Speed, speed, speed,� Thompson said. �I was a lot faster than they guys I played against. I was small, I outran them. That was my downfall, being that I was small. Schools would come, saw me on film and be overwhelmed, but they�d see me (in person) and be like �That�s all, that�s it?� �
Thompson still made a name for himself on the gridiron, drawing college interest.
He only experienced the NCHSAA playoffs once, when the Vikings lost to Jacksonville White Oak, 27-14, in the first round his freshman year. A revolving door of head coaches tainted the football experience for Thompson and the entire team.
�Not having a stable coach had a huge effect on us as a team,� Thompson said. �We could never jell as a team.�
Thompson was still set. He had offers from Division I schools such as Duke, Clemson, and his dream school � UNC.
Since childhood, he loved the Tar Heels. There was no doubt he�d accept.
The Kinston Vikings were 3-0 to start his senior season. Then-head coach Tony Edwards led an �intense� practice one day leading up to Week 4, so Thompson and the defensive line accepted.
�The defense was just getting drilled that day,� Thompson said. �Mister Hike tackled me and I didn�t want to go down, so I kind of drug him a little bit.
�When we did fall, we just fell awkward.�
A dream shattered
For two days, Thompson didn�t know his ankle was broken. In all the years he played football, he�d never suffered more than an ankle sprain, which is what he thought the injury was.
Only this time, the swelling wouldn�t go down.
Thompson wound up having surgery, and what probably hurt worse than the wound was calling colleges afterwards.
�I had the surgery, got seven screws in my ankle and they told me I wouldn�t play ball no more,� he said. �They told me I wouldn�t play no more in high school.�
He lost all of his D-I offers, except for Duke. He said Blue Devils coaches could offer a partial scholarship if he could prove his ankle was completely healed. However, he didn�t have the money or grades to fund his stay at Duke on a partial scholarship.
�I was devastated,� Thompson said. �I didn�t know what I wanted to do with my life. I didn�t know what I wanted to do after school. I just had it so set that I could go, that I could make it. Once they told me I wouldn�t play, I cried. I walked around school and cried, you know, literally bawling crying.
�I was heartbroken.�
Basketball season swung around and the multi-sport athlete was healthy enough to play, and he had a few months to cope by then.
Inevitably, a reminder of a lost dream revisited him: Signing Day.
�I was able to play basketball, and then Signing Day comes up,� Thompson recalled. �Boom: it all hits me once again, heartbroken all over again.�
Thompson, who went on to attend several different colleges before returning to Kinston in 2010, grew up with New York Jets linebacker and Kinston standout Quinton Coples and they made plans to go pro together.
Thompson remembers the exact day Coples signed with UNC, on Feb. 16, 2008.
Chapel Hill-bound Coples called his friend after inking and Thompson fought back tears as he congratulated a guy who went on to be drafted in the NFL.
Coples encouraged Thompson to hold his head up.
�His exacts words were, �Bro, tighten up, stop crying. When I make it, you make it,� � Thompson said. �That was it.�
Throughout Coples� recruiting process, the pair remained in constant contact. They tore up the Kinston field three years together before Coples transferred to Hargrave Military Academy for his senior season.
Thompson said he was also supposed to transfer, but remained in Kinston to represent his home team. At the time, Carolina had offered Thompson.
But after the injury revoked his offers, Thompson sat back and observed Coples� recruiting course.
It wasn�t easy.
The two grew up in the same apartment complex and have had a resilient friendship since. When they got their first cell phones, they pretended to be NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on the voice mail.
�For the first pick in the 2012 draft, we select Michael Thompson from the University of North Carolina,� it stated.
While it didn�t happen for Thompson, Coples was drafted in 2012. Since then, Thompson regularly visits New York and will be at Metlife Stadium when the Jets open the regular season against the Oakland Raiders.
Through the downfalls Thompson experienced in his high school football career, Coples was there to pick him up.
�Quinton Coples was the one person to bring me through that injury,� Thompson said.
With a rewarding look on his face, he added, �That�s my brother, that�s my brother.�
Coples mimicked similar remarks.
�Whenever I�m going through something or if he�s going through something, we�re always there for each other,� Coples told The Free Press, �ever since I could remember.�
Because of their bond, it was no question for Coples to support Thompson emotionally after the injury.
�I think God positioned us to be brothers for life,� Coples said. �We were from the same neighborhood, the same places.�
Coming home
Thompson currently works in auto sales. He spent time at N.C. Central and N.C. A&T before his daughter was born.
When she came into the world, his chose between playing ball and being a father.
�It was easy for me to come back, give up school, give up ball,� Thompson said. �I had my father around, but he could never do anything for me. I could see his face, but he wasn�t there for me.�
Thompson, who also played basketball at Kinston, frequents local gyms to hoop, but he�ll never forget the dream ravaged by an ankle injury seven years ago.
He said it doesn�t discourage him from living his life and supporting his daughter. She�s 4-years-old, and when Thompson was that age, he didn�t know much about his father--- but he knew football.
So every once in a while, he remembers what he could have had.
�I just wanted to play,� Thompson said. �It was my goal, my dream.�

(Glenn) Becky Loses All-American Sponsor Coca-Cola; One 10-Second Ad Was One 10-Second Ad Too Long

BELOW: Do these protest signs look familiar?
Whatever they called themselves in Poolesville, Maryland, in 1956 -- and whatever they call themselves today -- it's the same group of people.
It's not a myth, it's not our imaginations.
It is historical fact, proven repeatedly. We don't need to learn this lesson again. It is too divisive to the nation and too painful to its people.
The groups of people holding these extremist, minority opinions and views -- whenever and wherever they show up -- are on the wrong side of justice, fairness, peace between peoples, and "the American way".
Fortunately, they have the right to advertise themselves.
The legible signs:
"Integration Is Communism"
"Integration Is UnChristian"
"Integration Is Illegal"
"Stop Integration"
"Keep Poolesville White"
"Put Me Down As 'No' Nigger-Lover" (held by a child)
More frightening than the imaginary danger posed by re-animated dead people hunting living brains is the fact that Americans originally motivated by patriotism have already been recruited and trained to instigate, incite, and take part in attacks on a nation they still think they revere.
"Spontaneous people's revolutions" of the kind Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, and other greedy fatalists long to incite, to unleash their larcenies and insane propaganda machine, are designed to line up cadres of emotionally driven, dictatorship-ripe know-nothings.
The same FOX followers who are easily targeted and incited by Right-Wing fearcasters against any person, group or asset in the real or virtual worlds.
Hordes of Republican zombies are "ready, willing and able" -- eager -- to be triggered to act out.
Unthinking, still caught up, following orders to be patriotic as that is now re-defined -- anti-Democratic Party -- to support the war by going shopping, despite ballooning personal debt, during the real estate expansion bubble.
We, the country and people, spent even the "voodoo" part of zombie Republican economics, always designed to increase the number of available "re-education ready" bodies to keep increasing the number of zombpublican forces.
From the first day the zombie Republicans ate the government and took over the White House back in the 1990s, and every time they've been left alone with the keys to the nation's treasures, they've stolen everything they could steal.
Until President Obama was actually inaugurated and continuing in fewer ways over time, they took our life's savings, retirement accounts, investments, land, homes, jobs, cars.
We put it all on the line for eight years of destruction, to go shopping, because too many believed there was no doubt that the financial dream was going to happen for us if we were "patriotic" and good Republicans. Mixing God and war, a gang of professionals -- a team of ultra-criminals -- hypnotized and propagandized, boldly lied and convinced.
To fulfill our beliefs in our earned and deserved, therefore due and dependable expectations -- we have been compelled to acts of obscene financial violence and social mayhem, in order to open resources for death profiteers. The new market for those with money to buy valuable assets cheaply is the U.S.A.
They are the living dead, Reds. They are zombies, caricatures of people like my Republican father, a combat veteran, who, when alive, was a very patriotic American.
Now, if my father is not now one of these Republican zombies, I can still say I am proud of him because he served in the military and was still patriotic. I was young and mistakenly took that as a permanent endorsement of the entirety of the U.S. military. I volunteered and served in the U.S. Army and remain patriotic.
This is 2010. Things are what they are. Do not enlist. Do not re-enlist. Get out ASAP. That's my opinion, and you're welcome to it.
There are only a tiny few Republicans today who care to see clearly enough through their dead eyes to admit that the pillaging of the U.S.A. was completed on schedule by December, 2008.
Most Republicans today have given up on reality.
They refuse to see the zombies, they refuse to protect themselves from becoming zombies. They refuse to see that they are becoming zombies, one-by-one.
They refuse to see that they are serving those who are profiting from the creation and existence of zombies, and those manipulating the zombies in order to more easily control the planet.
Republican zombies are used to spread actual lies and panic about mythical threats from Communists and Socialists while supposedly warning about communism and socialism. Religion-based control is inculcated with all zompublican preparations also, as everyone in the U.S. knows by now.
They call it "re-education about the Democratic Party's true goals", or "how to better spot communism or socialism" when "they rise up to ruin this country as they've planned all along."
Part of the "re-education" of Republican pre-zombies is a nonstop multimedia river of violent, radicalizing justifications for the accomplished mass murder and torture of a non-threatening nation's people, the "wrong" people, mixed with constant exhortations to acknowledge and surrender to the perfect joy, grace and love of "Jesus Christ".
The zombie Republicans' confusion, their contagion, threatens the very life force of the nation.

January 2012, Ntoto, North Kivu, DRC: Woman and children who sought refuge in a school after fleeing fighting between the Forces de Défense pour la Libération du Rwanda (FDLR) and Forces de Défense Congolaise (FDC). Credit: Sylvain Liechti/ MONUSCO
"With a little bit more money and coordination, we can save more lives," says Humanitarian Coordinator Fidèle Sarassoro
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) faces multiple crises including attacks by armed groups, massive displacement, food insecurity and disease outbreaks.
Approximately 1.8 million people remain displaced, mostly in eastern DRC, due to conflict. Last year, measles and cholera epidemics claimed more than 2,400 lives, mostly children's.
Conflict and insecurity severely affect the humanitarian response in DRC. In 2011, there were 177 attacks against aid workers in the Kivus. A serious decline in funding and resources also affects the ability to help thousands of people in desperate need. The humanitarian appeal for 2011 was only 62 per cent funded, and this year's appeal has so far received only 4 per cent of the required US$718 million.
Fidèle Sarassoro has been the Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator in DRC since 2010. He talks in depth about the humanitarian challenges facing the vast central African country.
Q: What are some of biggest humanitarian challenges facing DRC today?
A: DRC has many humanitarian issues and challenges. In the east of the country, armed conflict is severely affecting the civilian population and creating huge humanitarian needs. In the western provinces, there are very high levels of malnutrition and food insecurity.
Recently, we have seen a decline in funding and resources. Sometimes I feel helpless because there are acute and persistent needs, and yet we do not have enough resources to help even the most vulnerable people. In 2008, the humanitarian appeal for the country was funded at 77 per cent, but last year we only received about 62 per cent of the required funding.
In 2012, we need $718 million to help hundreds of thousands of people facing conflicts, epidemics, natural disasters and limited access to basic social services across the country.
Q: What is the impact of the lack of funding?
A: Several essential programmes are affected, such as projects focusing on the protection of women who have been subjected to sexual violence. When you have an armed conflict, women and children are the most affected. Our ability to access them and provide them with the necessary support is definitely affected due to the lack of funding.
Q: The World Health Organization has confirmed there have been more than 26,000 cases of cholera across the country since early 2011. How is the aid community responding to this?
A: Humanitarian organizations are responding with urgent medical treatment for those infected by cholera. They are also addressing the underlying problem: lack of clean water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). The epidemic is persisting because clean drinking water is a luxury for the vast majority of Congolese. Many families do not have access to proper sanitation, and facilities handling waste often do not function properly. These factors and others have contributed to the spread of the disease to nine out of the 11 provinces in DRC.
In January 2012, Emergency Relief Coordinator Valerie Amos allocated $9.1 million from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to help with the cholera response. WHO and UNICEF are already implementing treatment, prevention and WASH projects with the funding.
Q: According to the World Food Programme, despite fertile soil DRC has a food deficit estimated at between 30 and 40 per cent. How do you address food insecurity in the country?
A: This is a country that could have enough natural resources to feed the whole of Africa, and yet it finds itself in a situation where malnutrition is rampant: 28 per cent of children under the age of 5 are malnourished. Conflict, mismanagement of resources, and the lack of investment and good policies have contributed to this paradox. If we want to address food insecurity in DRC, we need to make a strong link between humanitarian response and development work. Clearly, we need to focus on agriculture. I have been talking to colleagues in the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on how we can best support the country in terms of agricultural policy advice, resources and investment.
Q: Millions of people remain displaced in DRC due to conflict. What is being done to help them?
A: There are about 1.8 million displaced people in the DRC now. The UN and its partners are providing health care, shelter, education, water and sanitation to these people.
Despite our efforts, it is hard to access some of the affected population because of insecurity. It is unacceptable that a number of aid workers were attacked this year. They need safe and unrestricted access, and this has been the subject of my ongoing discussion with the Congolese authorities.
Q: As the Humanitarian Coordinator, you have travelled around the country assessing the humanitarian conditions. Tell us what you saw, and how can the humanitarian response be improved?
A: When I visited Province Oriental in north-eastern DRC, I met a woman who had been abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), but somehow managed to escape. Her arms and lips were cut off, and her own community refused to accept her when she returned. Unable to fend for herself, she was begging in the streets for food. I also remember this little girl who had been raped and left completely traumatized. Aid workers in these places meet victims of such atrocities every day. They often find themselves in a difficult situation—seeing the human tragedy and not being able to respond as much as they can because of the lack of resources.
It is painful to know that we could be sitting 5 kilometres away from a little girl in the middle of the jungle crying out for help, but we cannot reach her because of the lack of logistical support, security and resources. I know that with a little bit more money and coordination, we can save more lives. When I appeal to donors, I urge them to see the human tragedy of the people living in these places.

Hillary Hall was getting people's attention around Boulder as far back as 1982, when the future county clerk and recorder was an industrious high school scholar.
"Hillary was an officer in student government in Fairview High School when my son Stratton was, and so they worked together in our basement with other students from Fairview High School, cooking up all kinds of leadership activities for students at Fairview," said Josie Heath, former Boulder County commissioner.
"I saw her then as I see her now: as a smart, visionary, compassionate person," said Heath, now president of The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County.
Now Hall has risen to greater prominence, far beyond her hometown, through her ongoing battle with Colorado Attorney General John Suthers, who sued her office Thursday to stop Hall from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. One hundred and five had been issued in Boulder County through Thursday.
Heath is not surprised at anything she has seen from Hall through a continuing controversy that has drawn national attention.
"She has a strong sense of justice, but she is a reserved, quiet person," said Heath, adding, that, "Still water runs deep. Anyone who underestimates Hillary would do so at their own risk."
Boulder County Clerk and Recorder Hillary Hall
Education: Fairview High School, University of Northern Colorado and Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts
Elective office: Won her first term as Boulder County clerk and recorder in 2006, re-elected in 2010, is the Democratic Party candidate for a third term on November's ballot. Previously was chair of Boulder County Democratic Party
Personal: 48 years old, married with two adult daughters, resides in Boulder Heights
In training: Preparing to hike 21 miles rim-to-rim in the Grand Canyon in one day this September
Quote: "We are so blessed to live where we are."
Hall told The New York Times last week that, "The introvert in me is screaming." And, in an interview with the Daily Camera on Thursday, she underscored that her actions since June 25 were not a bid for fame or notoriety.
"Just because it looks like someone is comfortable doing what they're doing does not necessarily make that so," said Hall, 48. "Sometimes you have to do things you're not super-comfortable with because you believe in something.
"I am more introverted, by nature. I know people may not believe that, but I am."
'That's not really how the law works'
Hall, first elected Boulder's clerk and recorder in 2006, vaulted into the headlines when, within hours of a 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision striking down Utah's gay marriage ban as unconstitutional, she began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Boulder County.
She has done so in defiance of Suthers, who cautioned that because the 10th Circuit ruling was accompanied by a stay pending a U.S. Supreme Court decision on the issue, licenses issued in Boulder could be invalidated.
In addressing a press gathering last Tuesday, Hall showed no sign of discomfort having taken a stance that no other county clerk in the state has matched.
"I think that just because he says something is not valid, that's not really how the law works," Hall said, referring to Suthers. "It takes a court to say something is not valid."
While stating at one point that, "History will be on our side," Hall's tone was otherwise almost matter-of-fact for a topic around which political passions often run high.
Hall, no relation to Boulder County Coroner Emma Hall, holds a degree in culinary arts from the Western Culinary Institute, now known as Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Portland, Oregon.
She is married to Tim Enwall, son of former Boulder District Judge Michael Enwall, and the couple has two daughters, aged 20 and 22.
Hall grew up in Boulder, and in a Daily Camera 2010 questionnaire, she stated that her heroes "are the local firefighters and emergency workers who worked tirelessly and courageously fighting the Fourmile Canyon fire."
And, invited on the 2010 questionnaire to reveal something "unusual" about herself that few people know, Hall didn't stray too far off-message, confessing only to being "an election nerd" who, when traveling, will visit elections officers for a first-hand look at how others do the job.
'Exercising the prerogatives of her office'
Hall is running for re-election to a third term in November. She faces no Republican challenger, but is opposed by Libertarian candidate Ralph Shnelvar.
Shnelvar has said that he agrees licenses should be issued to same-sex couples, but that he also would be granting those couples civil union licenses, due to current uncertainty about the enduring validity of marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples.
He has greater differences with Hall on the issue of voting transparency.
"She has improved procedures this year," Shnelvar said. "Nonetheless, (poll) watchers are still pretty much potted plants."
Shnelvar added, "One can appear to be fair and transparent, and yet tilt the playing field toward the preferred party. I believe she is exercising the prerogatives of her office, to give her political party a legal advantage when it comes to voting."
Hall said it was "unfortunate" that that's how Shnelvar views her office.
"In regard to elections, we collaborate with other county clerks and the Secretary of State's Office to implement election policies in as neutral a way as we can," Hall said.
"Elections processes need continual refinement to keep up with changing times and modern technology. I work very hard on legislation to ensure these changes move forward and that our office in turn implements the new laws correctly and in a uniform manner. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with modernizing election laws to fit with our times."
Seen as 'steady, level-headed person'
Another longtime acquaintance who has been watching Hall's current battle with keen interest is retired Boulder attorney Jean Dubofsky.
She is the first female member of the Colorado Supreme Court, who is also known for successfully arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court for the overturning of Amendment 2 to the Colorado Constitution, which barred protective status based on sexual orientation.
"I was surprised when I first heard she had done it," Dubofsky said of Hall's decision to issue licenses to same-sex couple. "But then I thought, 'Good for her.'"
Dubofsky recalls when Hall used to put her culinary talents to use in providing elaborate dinners as prizes for Democratic fundraisers. Hall did the same for The Community Foundation's Open Door Fund, which raises money and distributes grants for programs that are supportive of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
"She is a very steady, level-headed person," Dubofsky said. "I think she doesn't get excited" when challenged.
Dubofsky alluded to Hall's battles with critics such as Shnelvar, who sued Hall's office in 2012 to allow designated election watchers to observe all of her staff's handling of mail-in ballots and those of active-duty members of the military, as well as citizens living overseas.
That suit reached an out-of-court settlement just days before the 2012 election.
"I think she handled it very well, without getting excited about it, and bent over backwards to accommodate people — but wouldn't do everything they wanted, by any means," Dubofsky said.
A meeting of ideals and perception of duty
As for Hall's emergence as prominent advocate on a central equity issue of the moment, Hall noted that her ideals and philosophy were forming as early as her sophomore year at Fairview.
She recalled an inspiring youth minister who wrote plays for a touring group from the school, one of which addressed the question of whom, if Jesus were on Earth today, would be his disciples.
For that production, Hall said, she played a prostitute, while another student portrayed a person with disabilities, and another was cast as a gay person. Not long after, that youth minister came out as gay himself.
The experience, Hall said, underscored for her the message that "people are people," regardless of what labels or limitations others might try to place on them.
Hall's most recent actions in office, she said, represent a convergence of her personal beliefs with what she considers to be her legal duty.
"I think this is where, as an elected official, I feel privileged to be where I can match both of those up," she said. "I have an obligation. It is my job. I have a responsibility, and it goes with what I believe to be true as well."

I came across this carbon calculator via bikelovejones in a post titled Treading Lightly.
We all contribute to global warming every day. The carbon dioxide you produce by driving your car and leaving the lights on adds up quickly. You may be surprised by how much Co2 you are emitting each year. Calculate your personal impact and learn how you can take action to reduce or even eliminate your emissions of carbon dioxide.
Now, my own carbon average is 4.25. That's less than the national average of 7.5, but far more than Beth's 0.5, which she attributes to not owning a car. I have a car, an older Ford, but I just don't drive much. In fact, I drive roughly half the national average per year, about 6,000 miles.
An epiphany in WalMart...
Yes, I held my nose and went into WalMart yesterday. I walked in a half-circle through the store until I reached the sporting goods section. I left there, and rather than retrace my path back to the front, I continued around the circle. That's when it hit me.
I'd discovered why men never ask directions! If I'd retraced my steps, I would have seen the same things a second time. Why do that? Just down that next aisle there could be something wondrous. Just down that next road there could be something that could change my life. Somewhere out there just over the horizon there could be something magical. But if we don't take that road, or step into that aisle we'll never see it.
There's no point in turning back or asking directions. Men are adventurers at heart. Magellan had already seen the east coast of South America. He wasn't about to turn around and see it again, so he ended up sailing around the world.
I explained all this to Mary, but she just rolled her eyes. If women had things their way, well, sure, we'd know where everything is, but we'd still be living in caves somewhere in Europe.

Molly Brown will have the chance to compete to win $100,000 in tuition assistance Dec. 7 at the Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis.
Molly Brown first knew she wanted to be a pediatric nurse after visiting Akron Children's Hospital.
She watched the nurses playing with some of the cancer patients and noticed the children began to smile.
"It's something I want to do every day," said Brown, a Walsh University sophomore who's studying nursing.
Now, the 19-year-old from Louisville hopes to win a contest that will help her pursue her dream. Brown will have the chance to compete for $100,000 in tuition assistance from Dr Pepper on Dec. 7 at the Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis.
Dr Pepper holds an annual tuition giveaway competition and plans to award more than $1 million in scholarships this year, according to its website. Contestants were asked to submit their stories about why they needed the financial assistance and then promote their stories via social media. Those who got at least 50 votes were invited to make minute-long videos.
Brown's video shows her in a hospital setting wearing scrubs and also sporting Walsh apparel and drinking Dr Pepper while she studies. She explains that she's putting herself through college.
"It will change my life so I can change others," she said in the video.
Judges have selected five finalists from four regions to attend college football championship games next week, where the students will compete for the money by trying to throw as many footballs as possible into an oversized can of Dr Pepper. Brown is guaranteed $2,500 just for going.
She got the news that she was heading to the championship game about two weeks ago. A room full of people from Dr Pepper called her and all at once screamed, "You're a finalist!" she said.
"One day, she calls me crying," said her father, Bob Brown, who is traveling to Indianapolis with her. He thought something was wrong, but she was just telling him she'd heard from Dr Pepper. "It's been a kind of real exciting, fun deal."
Since she learned she was a finalist, Molly Brown — who played basketball and volleyball in high school — has been practicing every day. The football coaches at Walsh gave her new balls, and her neighbor made her a big can to throw them into. Her dad comes over to the university to help her.
Brown said she's working between 10 and 12 hours a week while attending school full time and has several student loans.
"It would be so nice to be out of debt," she said. "It would release a lot of stress off my shoulders."
You can watch Brown's video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHLhCEd4ck0&feature=youtu.be.

Colts-Texans Preview
A win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday would clinch a
second straight AFC South title for the playoff-bound Houston
Texans. A loss makes the division race much more interesting.
The Texans look to bounce back from a blowout loss and prevent
the surging Colts from securing a playoff berth as these teams meet
in Houston for the first of two meetings over the final three
Despite a 42-14 loss at New England on Monday, Houston (11-2)
still has the AFC's best record and needs only a third straight
home victory over Indianapolis to win the division.
"We still control our destiny," defensive end J.J. Watt said.
"We control everything. We are going to go back and focus on
winning the division and locking that up. Everything is still in
front of us."
However, if Indianapolis (9-4) wins Sunday, it would wrap up a
playoff spot and put a division crown very much within its grasp.
If the Colts win their final three games, including at Kansas City
next week and at home against the Texans in the regular-season
finale, they would claim the South title.
"There is no doubt that (the Texans are) the top horse right
now," interim coach Bruce Arians told the Colts' official website.
"We've got to go in there and knock them off."
Indianapolis has won three straight and seven of eight, moving
in position to join the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to
lose at least 14 games one season and make the playoffs the
Much of the turnaround has been attributed to Andrew Luck, whose
six fourth-quarter comebacks are the highest single-season total by
a rookie since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. A week after Luck's two TD
passes in the final 2:39 – including one as time expired – resulted
in a 35-33 win at Detroit, he helped rally the Colts from a
13-point halftime deficit in last Sunday's 27-23 victory over
All but one of their victories has come by seven or fewer
"Everybody on the team – offensively, defensively, special teams
– just plays football," Luck said. "They're not worried about the
scoreboard too much, not worried about what's going on. They're
aware of the situations, and we just go out there and play football
to the best of our abilities. It's just not overthinking all the
Though he's managed to come through when needed, Luck has been
far from consistent of late. He's completed less than 50 percent of
his passes in back-to-back games and has 10 interceptions over the
past five, including two last week while throwing for 196 yards –
his second-lowest total of the season.
Luck has been sacked 10 times in the last three games, raising
his total to 32 – tied for third-most in the league entering Week
15. Add in starting offensive linemen Winston Justice (biceps) and
Samson Satele (ankle) getting ruled out, and the Colts could face
an even tougher time trying to protect Luck from a player like
Watt, who leads the AFC with 16 1/2 sacks.
That uncertainty on the offensive line also could prevent rookie
Vick Ballard from building on the career-high 94 rushing yards he
recorded against Tennessee. The Colts, who placed second-leading
rusher Donald Brown (ankle) on injured reserve this week, are
averaging 105.8 yards on the ground to rank 22nd in the NFL.
Houston ranks third against the run, giving up 90.8 yards per
game despite yielding 130 to the Patriots. Over the last four
games, the Texans' strongest defensive performance came when they
allowed 354 total yards in a 24-10 win at Tennessee on Dec. 2. In
the other three, including overtime wins over Jacksonville and
Detroit, they have yielded averages of 467.3 yards and 36.7
Coach Gary Kubiak also is concerned with an offense which has
stumbled in the last two games, getting held under 340 total yards
in both while going 8 of 31 on third downs.
"We've got issues," Kubiak said. "We've got to stop people
better, we've got to move the ball better, and we've got to get rid
of penalties on special teams. … We've got to play better than
we've played."
Arian Foster has been limited to 84 yards on 29 carries in the
last two games, but he had rushing TDs in both and four in the last
three contests. He hasn't gone three straight games without rushing
for 100 yards since his 2009 rookie season.
Foster has had 100-yard games in all three of his matchups with
the Colts, rushing for 491 yards and 6.9 per carry with five
touchdowns. He ran for a career-high 231 yards and three TDs in a
34-24 home win over Indianapolis on Sept. 12, 2010.

Title: Spectroscopic Orbits for Kepler FOV Eclipsing Binaries
Abstract: We are working on a program of precise photometry with the NASA \it Kepler Observatory to search for variations in minimum light timing for intermediate mass eclipsing binaries. Such periodic variations will reveal the reflex motion caused by any distant, low mass object that orbits the close binary. \it Kepler's unprecedented accuracy and continuous observations provide a unique opportunity to detect the low mass companions that are predicted to result from the angular momentum of the natal cloud. We need to determine the masses of the central binary to help estimate the companion mass. The goal of this proposal is to obtain blue spectra of these targets, derive radial velocities, and produce a double-lined spectroscopic orbit. Combined with the \it Kepler light curve, we will determine very accurate masses, radii, and effective temperatures for the members of the close binary, and this will yield M \sin i for any companions detected by light travel time effects.

TG Therapeutics is an innovative, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of medically important pharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancer and other underserved therapeutic needs. Currently, the company is developing two therapies targeting hematological malignancies. TG-1101 (ublituximab) is a novel, glycoengineered monoclonal antibody that targets a specific and unique epitope on the CD20 antigen found on mature B-lymphocytes. TG Therapeutics is also developing TGR-1202, an orally available PI3K delta inhibitor. The delta isoform of PI3K is strongly expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin and is believed to be important in the proliferation and survival of B‐lymphocytes. Both TG-1101 and TGR-1202 are in clinical development for patients with hematologic malignancies. TG Therapeutics is headquartered in New York City.
Cautionary Statement
Some of the statements included in this press release, particularly those anticipating future clinical trials and business prospects for TG-1101 and TGR-1202 may be forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Among the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially are the following: our ability to successfully and cost-effectively complete pre-clinical and clinical trials for TG-1101 and TGR-1202; the risk that pre-clinical and early clinical results that supported our decision to move forward with TG-1101 and TGR-1202 will not be reproduced in additional patients or in future studies; the risk that TGR-1202 will not produce satisfactory safety and efficacy results to warrant further development following completion of the current phase 1 study; the risk that the data (both safety and efficacy) from future clinical trials will not coincide with the data produced from prior pre-clinical and clinical trials; our ability to achieve the milestones we project over the next year; our ability to manage our cash in line with our projections, and other risk factors identified from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements set forth in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release. We do not undertake to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof.

Kansas City, it's time for fall foliage! We've got your ultimate guide to fall leaves, from where the best Instagram-worthy photos are to what to do with all of those leaves in your yard.
This year, we can expect peak fall colors around October 22nd. Here are just a few of the best places to snap a photo:
Looking for a mini-fall getaway? Midwest Living has 30 great fall getaways.
Getting to see fall leaves is always a favorite fall activity; however, knowing what to do with all of those leaves in your yard is another story. We asked Zaarly expert Caleb Kangas what to do with all of those leaves.
"It is best for the lawn to continue to mow and mulch the leaves on a weekly basis," Caleb Kangas owner of Dynamic Earth Lawn & Landscape on Zaarly, said. "This allows the most nutrients to return back to the soil and helps to hold moisture in as we enter the drier season of late fall. After all the leaves have fallen, it is good to do a final mulching of your leaves. If there is still a thin layer of leaves on the ground, you can bag them on the final time. This is only necessary when there are so many leaves that they will block sunlight from coming in contact with the grass and then, in turn, kill the grass."
And, of course, you can always make a big pile and jump right in!

America's Boating Course 3rd Edition, certified by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard, is now available (as of October 31)."The course has been extensively revised and rewritten to address new technological developments and meet updated state licensing requirements," said Richard Kyle, National Education Officer of the United States Power Squadrons. Kyle also said a completely new Introduction to Navigation chapter is included at no additional charge, and includes Basic Piloting Skills, How GPS (Global Positioning System) Works and Basic Concepts in Coastal and Inland Navigation.Responding to requests from boaters who wanted to take educational courses at their own pace, Kyle said America's Boating Course 3rd Edition can be completed in one of three ways: Participants will be able to take the course on the Internet; as a CD-based course; or in a classroom setting. All students will receive an extensive, full-color book and a self-study, animated and narrated CD. The book and CD serve as easy-to-use reference after the course has been completed.When asked about the benefit of being awarded a Boating Certificate for successfully completing the America's Boating Course 3rd Edition, Kyle responded that boat insurance premiums may be reduced by as much as 10 percent. In fact, some insurers offer even greater discounts for those who also complete advanced courses offered by the United States Power Squadrons. Kyle urged everyone interested in saving money and being safe on the water to contact the United States Power Squadrons at 866-262-8222. Online course registration for Internet courses can be found at www.americasboatingcourse.com, and classroom course registration and locations can be found at www.usps.org.

Fields for PGA and Web.Com Tour events have plenty of local flavor.
When: Today-Sunday
Where: TPC Louisiana (Avondale)
Purse: $6.6 million ($1.188 million)
2012 champion: Jason Dufner
TV: 3-6 p.m., Today-Friday and 1-2:30 p.m., Saturday-Sunday on Golf Channel; 3-6 p.m. Saturday-Sunday on CBS
Locals in the field: Maybe a blast from the past can contribute to a much-needed surge to help Dorman/Clemson product D.J. Trahan find his back to full-time status on the PGA Tour. Trahan posted his first-career PGA Tour top-10 with a tie for ninth at the Zurich Classic as a rookie in 2005, but he has missed the cut in his other three starts there, including last year after opening with a 78. The 32-year-old fell outside the required top-125 on the money list last season (130th) to fall into the conditional status category for the first time since arriving on the Tour in 2005. Trahan is playing this week thanks to a sponsor's exemption. He ranked 129th in earnings with $206,932 after ties for eighth at the Puerto Rico Open and a tie for 15th in his last outing two weeks ago in San Antonio. He also has a tie for 10th at a Web.com Tour event in Louisiana last month ... Greenville/Clemson product Lucas Glover has surprisingly only played this event once (last year) in the last three years after having tremendous success. After missing the cut in his 2004 debut, Glover tied for third, seventh and eighth from 2005-2007 before skipping 2008 and returning with a tie for 19th in 2009. He finished tied for 66th last year despite posting all four rounds at par or better and in his last 20 career rounds at the event has carded only three above par ... Simpsonville resident Justin Bolli is coming off a solid tie for 35th at last week's RBC Heritage, his second-best finish this season after a tie for fourth in Puerto Rico. He's had little success at the Zurich where he last played in 2010 and in three starts hasn't finished better than a tie for 57th and has broken par only twice in 10 career rounds. He will likely be playing in front of large galleries the opening two rounds after being paired with 14-year-old Chinese phenom Guan Tianlay, making his first start since making the cut at the Masters ... Clemson's Jonathan Byrd has played this event so sporadically it's had three different names in each of his three starts with the last coming with a tie for 12th in 2008. He also tied for 25th (with a final-round 66) in 2004 and a tie for 34th in 2002. Byrd finally made the cut on Hilton Head last week (although he finished with a disappointing 79) in his third start since coming back from major wrist surgery in late October ... Clemson's Kyle Stanley continued his prolonged slump with another missed cut last week at the RBC Heritage and has now missed three of his last four Friday cuts and finished 79th in Texas after not surviving a secondary Saturday cut. Stanley, who missed the cut in his lone Zurich appearance two years ago, hasn't posted a top-10 since winning the Phoenix Open on Feb. 5, 2012 and has plummeted to 116th in the world rankings.
When: Today-Sunday
Where: Kinderlou Forest GC (Valdosta, Ga.)
Purse: $650,000 ($112,500 winner's share)
2012 champion: Luke List
Locals in the field: USC's Mark Anderson has gotten off to a slow start with two missed cuts and ties for 33rd and 44th, but this could be a venue to get the long hitter cranked up. This is the longest layout on tour at 7,781 yards and five of the last six winners have finished the season averaging over 300 yards driving for the year. Anderson is 18th in average distance at 305.1 yards and finished tied for fifth at this event his last time out in 2011 ... Former Clemson teammates Phillip Mollica and Sam Saunders will be paired together for the opening two rounds. Mollica has struggled mightily as a rookie with his only made cut in six starts a tie for 64th in Chile and he's broken 70 only once in 14 rounds. Saunders tied for 36th in Colombia and 12th in Chile before missing both cuts when the tour came to the United States. He finished tied for 18th in his lone appearance at this event last year ... Greenwood/Clemson product Ben Martin leads the locals in earnings at No. 45 with $26,858 in finishing no worse than 28th in the four of six cuts he's made, including a season-best tie for 11th in his last outing at the WNB Classic ... Duncan resident Matt Bettencourt has missed all three Web.com Tour cuts, but has made two of three on the PGA Tour as he continues trying to find a medication and inhaler for his ongoing struggle with asthma that won't leave him suffering from jitters ... Furman's Matt Davidson tied for 10th during his lone appearance at this event in 2011 ... Clemson's' Brian Duncan and Danny Ellis are also in the field while Clemson's Matt Hendrix and USC's Kyle Thompson are alternates.

As recent scholarship convincingly demonstrates, trade, travel, and cultural and diplomatic relations were the most important vehicles for the exchange of artistic ideas between Venice and her Muslim neighbors. Maps give a sense of place and a realization of the close proximity of Venice and Damascus, Alexandria, Cairo, Istanbul, and other major Islamic cities, while Venetian travel diaries and painted views of Near Eastern peoples and places provide insight into the Venetian perspective of these foreign lands.
The heart of the exhibition is comprised of objects from the 15th and 16th centuries, when Venetian interest in the Islamic world peaked. This is abundantly clear from the numerous representations of Islamic costumes and architecture in manuscript illumination, prints, drawings, and sculpture. The point of departure for these images was Gentile Bellini's diplomatic mission to the court of Sultan Mehmet II between 1479 and 1481. During and after his visit to Istanbul, Bellini represented Islamic figures and settings in his paintings, and his many pupils, like Vittore Carpaccio and Giovanni Mansueti, followed suit. Many of these artists' most magnificent "orientalizing" paintings and drawings, now dispersed all over the world, are featured in the exhibition.

Two early '90s stars for the Pirates, both sent to Kansas City as the team tried to shed some salaries and rebuild. (Click to embiggen.)
One trade with four Jeffs, a Joe and a Jay. Easily the high "J" ratio of any Pirates trade, unless they someday spin Jason Jaramillo, Garrett Jones and James McDonald to the Marlins for Josh Johnson and John Buck.
Seriously though, very little return on this one. One year of Randa and some mediocre relief innings.

marlo marketing has done a great job for us. In a short period of time the team got us in front of reporters and editors resulting in an impressive list of print and digital periodicals that have written about our product. This has given our start up company a lot of credibility to both customers and investors, and we're now on the shelves at CVS. They work hard on a very personal level with excellent communication and follow up. We highly recommend them.
I have had the pleasure of working with the marlo marketing team with two very different food companies. I started working with marlo while at an artisanal cheese start-up company called the Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company and experienced first-hand the team's creativity, organization and follow-through and what they managed to achieve with a start-up company's budget. I found them to be incredibly responsive and impressively tied into the food scene locally and nationally. Given such a positive experience, when I joined the Snack Factory® Pretzel Crisps® team, I brought marlo on board to handle all of our national Public Relations work. As one of many examples of success, they developed an amazing strategic national integrated media and PR plan for Snack Factory's recent Gluten Free Pretzel Crisps® product launch (utilizing both guerilla and traditional tactics) that helped the sales team attain a strong ACV within the first six months. I think marlo marketing is one of most creative and pro-active full service firms anywhere in the entire country.Go to Pretzel Crisps case study
We worked with the team from marlo marketing through the opening of our new brand, UNO fresco. As this was a brand launch, many details were emerging and changing throughout the process. The marlo team remained patient, focused on the end result and committed to fulfilling our expectations from start to finish. They were organized, delivered to every deadline and made a difference in the launch of this brand. I highly recommend them as a strategic business partner.
Marlo and her team of enthusiastic, creative professionals are so fun to work with and deliver results! If you're looking for a great PR partner who will provide strategic value coupled with awesome PR impact, look no further!
Marlo and her team have done an outstanding job getting out the Narragansett Beer story. We have received countless placements since 2009 on both the national and hyper-local level. They have delivered results with industry experts, traditional media outlets and cultural influencers. The team is great at developing an annual plan and then executing against it regularly.Go to Narragansett Beer case study
Marlo and her team have been instrumental in helping launch our brand. I think what separates her firm from other PR firms out there is that in addition to having contacts at all the typical news outlets covering our market she has personal relationships within the marketplace itself from which clients can benefit. She is fair, straightforward, and willing to go the extra mile for us which we appreciate. She lives and breathes her work, and the results show.
marlo marketing provided public relations services for the Provincetown Tourism Office. They are professional, collegial and communicate well. Marlo has helped the Town of Provincetown in building out the content of our Tourism website, concept and create Press Kits (which have been used widely), coordinate press trips, and has done an excellent job in promoting Provincetown worldwide as a travel destination. Additionally, the editorial the town has received is extremely valuable. Marlo and team have to work with a number of personalities and have handled it professionally and gracefully.Go to Provincetown case study
We initially hired Marlo to re-launch Grafton Street in early 2002, quickly realizing the value she brought to all of our establishments. While the amount of editorial coverage her team is able to consistently obtain for all of our locations is impressive, the added-value that they deliver – from private parties to new business relationships to marketing and advertising – has cemented marlo marketing's importance in our business' continued growth. Knowing we have found a true marketing partner, someone we can trust on every level, is worth every cent.
Marlo and her crew have completely changed my mind about PR. Over the past thirteen years, I have been through numerous PR firms and have also gone without PR for many years. Have I noticed a particular difference? Have I felt like the thousands of dollars were worth it? I was entirely skeptical. Ask her. But, I am now convinced. Here's why:
She chooses her clients wisely, with regard to their ability to back up her efforts to promote them. It is all about the relationship. I have never felt like I was just one more client in her roster. It is about "marketing" and not just PR. No throwing parties or doing events that don't show us off properly or lump us in with 25 other restaurants. I have been shown how to effectively and efficiently promote my businesses for what they are. Marlo and her team have been relentless in getting us access to those people who, when we do our jobs right, appreciate what we do and how we do it, and who will talk and write about it. Similarly, I really do believe that she and her team truly get what we are trying to accomplish, and that they take great pride in helping us succeed. And, perhaps most importantly, I feel very, very confident that I can leave this (PR) aspect of my businesses in her hands, knowing that it will be handled in a way that I feel comfortable with, thereby allowing me to concentrate on the aspects of my businesses that I do best.
Marlo and her staff have been invaluable in raising the visibility, stature and success of our two zoos since we began working with them in 2006. I regularly receive comments from people about the frequent and positive coverage we receive in the press. The editorial coverage, combined with their creative management and targeted execution of our limited advertising budget, has helped us reach record-breaking visitor and membership levels. It is obvious with every step that they have a real commitment to our success.Go to Zoo New England case study
The team at marlo marketing is professional, easy to work with and produces amazing results. The media coverage exceeded our expectations and as a result we've seen an increase in ticket sales and brand awareness throughout the country. People now know who we are and are excited to experience social painting and the unique concept we bring to their community. As we continue to expand Paint Nite into new cities in the United States and eventually into new countries, we look forward to continuing our partnership with the marlo team.Go to Paint Nite case study
Marlo came very highly recommended to me within the Boston hospitality industry when we were starting a new company – Frost Ice Bar. Not only did she deliver above and beyond our expectations, but I found the entire staff very easy to work with and extremely professional (yet fun at the same time). She is a hard-working business owner who cares deeply about the success of her clients and who is willing to get involved to ensure the highest quality of work. I'd definitely use her again in the future.Go to the Frost Ice Bar case study
We engaged marlo marketing for two consumer product launches and the resulting national roll out. Marlo and her team were able to quickly assess the promotional opportunities and customize a really effective campaign for us. Not content to stick to business as usual, we tried traditional approaches mixed with some new ideas. We felt that Marlo's team was able to quickly and effectively adapt to an evolving strategy and recalibrate if necessary. I would recommend Marlo without a doubt and look forward to working with her in the future. It's hard to find genuine professionals that you consider true partners in your endeavors – Marlo is one such professional.
Marlo has assembled a great team of true professionals at marlo marketing to support our brand building and PR initiatives. They have worked for us to execute campaigns, conduct desk-sides, follow up and come up with creative positioning of our treatments resulting in some excellent exposure and national press. The team, I consider, are 'real' sans the 'fabulous attitude' exuded by many other PR groups. It's a big deal when a real Yankees fan hires someone out of Boston but they've proven to be really worth it – I strongly recommend them!Go to Dermelect Cosmeceuticals study
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the team at marlo marketing! While we have only worked with them for 6 months, the results that they have delivered have absolutely exceeded our expectations. Our brand went from having literally no PR and little SEO presence, to having fantastic sources raving about us such as Teen Vogue, Glamour, and Harper's Bazaar. For an up-and-coming beauty brand, this is huge! The entire team is incredibly sharp, hard-working, and are constantly on the pulse of the industry for any opportunity. Beyond delivering phenomenal results, they have been fantastic people to work with and it has always been a pleasure spending time with them whether its in a meeting or running from taxi to taxi during desk-sides!
The marlo marketing team is so high-energy and hardworking – man, they just deliver. Since partnering with them, we've secured coverage in Better Homes & Gardens, ABCnews.com, Good Housekeeping, Seventeen magazine, Cooking Light, and House Beautiful, along with lots of influential blogs and specialty publications. They've really thrown themselves behind our brand and are helping us forge lasting relationships with the press. It's refreshing to see results, rather than reports from a PR agency.Go to The Grommet case study
Marlo and her team have been a great driving force behind the marketing success of All American Assisted Living. marlo's attention to detail and "out of the box" marketing campaign positioned us to excel during our construction/pre-opening phase. We really enjoyed working with marlo and wouldn't hesitate to work with marlo on future projects.Go to All American Assisted Living case study
Marlo and her team took the kernel of a brand concept and led us through a process that distilled our product's core attributes andbrought clarity to our communication strategy. We had to communicate three things in about three seconds: easy, delicious, and healthy, and marlo made that happen!
From the selection of a familiar packaging style and size, to the use of simple language and photographs, our box appeals to busy families who don't have time to cook and members of a generation that never learned. By featuring mouth-watering photographs of the finished meals, customers could nearly taste their dinner before it went into their cart. And by highlighting the key healthful attributes — gluten-free, all natural, and no added sugars — even the shopper most skeptical of boxed foods would be pleasantly surprised by our quality ingredients. Did it work? In just one year, The Healthy Pantry went from 100 to over 1,500 stores carrying it's products, and those stores sold 1.7 times more each week!

MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 11, 2013) - Chartwell Seniors Housing Real Estate Investment Trust (TSX:CSH.UN) ("Chartwell") announced today it has changed its name to "Chartwell Retirement Residences" effective immediately. Chartwell will continue to trade on the TSX as 'CSH.UN'. The change is timed to coincide with the rebranding of the 42 retirement residences Chartwell acquired with Health Care REIT (HCN) in May, 2012.
"We believe that our new visual identity better reflects our brand promise and our evolution as a customer focused service provider," commented Brent Binions, President and CEO.
The new name makes way for a more consistent translation in French to Chartwell Résidences Pour Retraités. In Ontario, long term care communities will be branded distinctively as Chartwell Long Term Care Residences. Chartwell residences will begin reflecting the new name and logo as part of a national roll-out strategy throughout 2013.
About Chartwell
Chartwell indirectly owns and operates a complete range of residences from independent supportive living through assisted living to long term care. It is one of the largest participants in the seniors housing business in North America. Chartwell's aim is to capitalize on the strong demographic trends present in its markets to maximize the value of its existing portfolio of retirement residences, and prudently avail itself of opportunities to grow internally and through accretive acquisitions.
Chartwell's Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") allows Unitholders to have their monthly cash distributions used to purchase units without incurring commission or brokerage fees, and receive bonus units equal to 3% of their monthly cash distributions. More information can be obtained at www.chartwell.com.
Forward-Looking Information
