text: Las Vegas Youth Travels to D.C. to Advocate for Kids Friday, Sep 18, 2015 Page Image Page ContentA former Boys Town Nevada Youth recently took part in a congressional briefing in Washington D.C. on Thursday, September 17. Seventeen year old Aeryn was in trouble with the law before coming to Boys Town, she has since turned her life around and now she'll be part of a briefing that will inform others about the needs of other at-risk children.Aeryn provided insight for an overview of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) and the ways in which it diverts youth from juvenile justice system involvement, saves taxpayer dollars and, most importantly, promotes safer, stronger and healthier youth, families and communities. The legislation expired in 2007, but there is a movement to reauthorize the bill."Today, the JJDPA remains the only law that sets out national standards for the custody and care of youth in the juvenile justice system," said Howard Olshansky, Boys Town Nevada Executive Director. "It codifies what we have come to think of as common-sense: kids, even when they come into conflict with the law, should be treated as kids, and we hope Aeryn can help put the need for this law to be reinstated in perspective."The new bill strengthens and updates the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA), which has provided states and localities with federal standards and supports for improving juvenile justice and delinquency prevention practices and contributed to safeguards for youth, families and communities for more than 40 years.Now nineteen years-old, Aeryn lives in her own apartment, attends college and works part-time. She'll continue to work with Boys Town, as she earns her college degree, but she's well on her way to a bright future.

Cantor Jill Pakman has served as the Cantor of Temple Covenant of Peace in a part-time capacity since September 2003. Although she had been viewed as the Temple's "Student Cantor" while completing her Masters Degree in Jewish Music/Cantorial Studies at Gratz College in Philadelphia, Cantor Jill has functioned as a Cantor/Cantorial Soloist since 1989. Her first position, after leaving the USAF Band in Omaha, Nebraska, was Temple Emanu-El in Wichita, Kansas. Jill then went on to work in South Florida where she resided for more than four years becoming the Cantorial Soloist/B'nei Mitzvah Tutor/Religious School Music teacher for Temple Bet Tikva in Sunrise, Florida. She returned to her home in the Yardley, Pennsylvania area in 1994 and has been engaged in Cantorial work in and around the area since that time.
Jill has trained, literally, hundreds of B'nei Mitzvah students as she began to tutor/train students just after becoming a Bat Mitzvah herself, due to the fact that she was able to learn the trope/cantillation system by chanting her own Haftarah portion. She looks forward to having the opportunity to work with/train B'nei Mitzvah personally in her home in Yardley, or via the internet where ever a student may be as she brings more than forty years of experience in preparing students for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah ceremony. Cantor Jill will also officiate a B'nei Mitzvah ceremony anywhere in the world as long as it is in an appropriate venue that will be able to honor the Jewish traditions of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah.

By Joy Lee, The China Post
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Procter & Gamble (P&G) yesterday celebrated 20 years of its 6 Minutes Protect A Life campaign that aims to promote women's cancer awareness. The campaign ambassador, supermodel Lin Chi-ling (林志玲), led a team of female cancer survivors to perform as cheerleaders to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this P&G campaign that has helped save the lives of so many women. Ajit Nayak, P&G Taiwan-Hong Kong general manager, said that 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of 6 Minutes Protect A Life Program. "The death rate from cervical cancer in Taiwan has decreased dramatically by 65 percent since P&G started the program," said Nayak. "The death rate from breast cancer has also significantly decreased due to regular screening." "More importantly, through regular screening, 80 percent of breast and cervical cancer cases in Taiwan are now diagnosed at early stages, leading to better treatment. Through everyone's support, the movement has spread across Taiwan, helping millions of women over two decades," said Nayak. This year, Nayak said, P&G took another breakthrough step to increase participation in the program. "We started the 6 Minutes Month, an online donation program on Facebook," said Nayak. "This helps us to leverage the social network of celebrities and leaders across Taiwan to influence and remind their families and friends to take action." "In just a month, we reached 1 million people by converting 13,000 consumers into advocates to spread the word about cancer prevention. P&G is committed to continually investing to help women live healthy and beautiful lives, and keeping families happy all over Taiwan," said Nayak.
Wu Chien-yuan (吳建遠), division chief of the Bureau of National Health Promotion's Cancer Control and Prevention Division, said that she cannot believe that it has been 20 years since P&G started the campaign. "Not too many people have the passion to continue promoting one thing for 20 years non-stop," said Wu. "In the past 20 years, the government has relied on P&G to pass on the idea of regular screening." Wu said that P&G's 6 Minutes Protect A life has been so successful that she even received complaints from her male friends that there should be a campaign for men on cancer awareness as well. "Breast cancer still remains a major factor that affects women's health," said Wu. "However, screening for cervical cancer has been promoted since 1995 and many women have benefited from it. "Therefore, we hope to see the same great results in breast cancer cases," said Wu. Lin Chi-ling Cheers with Cancer Survivors Lin, who has been the 6 Minutes Protect A Life campaign ambassador for many years, led a team of female cancer survivors to celebrate life after cancer. "Through this performance, I hope more people can see the positivity and strength of cancer survivors," said Lin. "I also hope that patients who are going through cancer treatments now can step out of the low points of their lives and keep smiling for a brighter future." Among the team of cancer survivors, two are over 60 years old, and they only spent eight hours to practice the dance moves. However, they said that after conquering cancer, they aren't afraid of any challenge. Lin said that being able to perform as a cheerleader is like a dream come true for her. "I hope everyone can feel our energy and fight against cancer with your courage," said Lin.

Indian Billionaire's Bank Profits on "Middle India"
Billionaire Uday Kotak, not content with 35 percent margins and a No. 1 ranking underwriting Indian IPOs, is aiming to increase profit next year at both his investment bank and commercial-lending businesses.
The performance of his Kotak Mahindra Group (KMB) could impress Kotak's former partner, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), which sold its share in their Indian joint venture in 2006, when the New York- based firm began independent operations in the country.
Kotak Mahindra, India's best-performing bank stock this year, had an average pretax profit margin more than triple that of Goldman Sachs's 11 percent for the first nine months of 2011.
"Kotak Mahindra today has profit margins that are enviable by domestic and foreign lenders," said Sampath Kumar, an analyst at India Infoline Ltd. (IIFL), a brokerage in Mumbai.
The reason is the bank's strategy of pushing growth in corporate and consumer lending at a time when investment-banking revenue has faltered worldwide. The lender's focus on "middle India" necessities such as farm tractors is proving profitable, Kotak said in a Dec. 12 interview in his second-floor office in the commercial hub of Mumbai's Nariman Point, overlooking a tiny patch of green.
Kotak's commercial bank, the most-profitable lending business in India, accounts for 60 percent of earnings of the group, whose subsidiaries include lender Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd., investment bank Kotak Mahindra Capital Co. and brokerage Kotak Mahindra Securities Ltd. That's a reversal from 2008, when 60 percent of profit came from investment-banking and brokering activities, said Kotak, the bank's vice chairman and managing director. Now, with a drop in takeovers, share sales and trading revenue, it accounts for 6 percent, he said.
'Not Looking Great'
"Right now the outlook is obviously not looking great," Kotak, 52, said. "We are going to see significant capacity reduction in the sector."
Kotak, who owns a controlling 41 percent stake in the group, said the money investment banks make no longer justifies the number of people they employ or their salaries. The industry has 20 percent to 40 percent excess capacity, and there is a "correction" under way, he said.
"There are too many firms and too many people per firm," Kotak said. "Over the last few years, India was the high- fashion country around the world. Every global player wanted to be in India without really analyzing the size of the revenue pool."
Lower Salaries
India's top investment banks compensate bankers at about half the rate of foreign counterparts operating in the country, according to Saket Jain, managing partner at recruitment firm Vito India Advisors in Mumbai. A mid-level director at an Indian investment bank makes about 8 million rupees ($152,000) in salary before bonus compared with about 13 million rupees working for a foreign bank, he said.
Lower salaries could catch on as banks realize revenue can't support such wages, said Kotak, who was paid 17.8 million rupees for the year ended in March, according to the company's annual report.
"I see combined compensation levels, both fixed and variable, correcting in this segment, in India, as anywhere else in the world," he said. "Supernormal returns, supernormal compensations, some of it is gone for a long time and probably not coming back."
Indian companies raised 296 billion rupees from share sales in 2011, almost the same volume as in 2005, even as the number of banks competing to manage those offerings almost doubled to 45, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Kotak Mahindra Capital is No. 1 in managing initial public offerings in India this year. Goldman Sachs doesn't appear in the rankings, having arranged only one offering of shares of an already-listed company, the data show.
'Partnership Culture'
The fee pool in India was about $1 billion last year, compared with almost $5 billion for China, according to Freeman & Co. LLC, a New York-based research firm. This year's fees may be lower because share offerings are down almost 75 percent and there were about 40 percent fewer mergers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Kotak, whose stake in the company is worth $2.8 billion, is ranked No. 15 on Forbes magazine's 2011 India billionaires list. He said his approach to leadership was learned growing up in an extended family of "60 members, under the same roof, with a single kitchen" in Mumbai.
"Being in the same house, the whole philosophy of getting along with people, carrying them as teams, was deeply ingrained," he said. "I think about leadership as a partnership culture."
Mahindra Investment
In 1985, Kotak, then 26, set up Kotak Capital Management Finance using 3 million rupees he borrowed from friends and family members who ran a cotton-trading business, he said. The following year he recruited as an investor the industrialist Anand Mahindra, who said in a Dec. 16 telephone interview that the two met when he became Kotak's client and admired his "very mature approach."
"I told him if he ever thought of going public, I would support him," said Mahindra, now vice chairman and managing director of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. (MM), India's largest tractor and sport-utility-vehicle maker. "During his wedding reception, he came and told me he would take me up on that offer."
The name was changed to Kotak Mahindra Finance. Mahindra still owns about 3 percent of the company.
On his first visit to New York, in 1992, Kotak said he saw that "some of the biggest names in the business were family names, and they were standing strong 150 years later. We named our company what we did, saying you should be ready to put your name on the line in a financial-services business."
Goldman Venture
Kotak formed a partnership with Goldman Sachs in 1995. In 2006, he paid 3.3 billion rupees to buy out the 25 percent stakes that the New York-based firm held in the investment banking and securities businesses.
"Two people can't own 51 percent each in a company," Kotak said. "That was the bottom line. Goldman believed India was very important. We felt it was equally important for us. We parted as friends."
Edward Naylor, a spokesman for Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, declined to comment.
Kotak said that dealing with Goldman Sachs taught him things were changing quickly in India and that he had to professionalize his capital-markets business.
"Discipline, culture, we learned a hell of a lot from them," Kotak said.
'Aligned With Investors'
After obtaining a banking license in 2003, he now has India's fourth-largest private bank by assets, according to Bloomberg data. Shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank, with about 330 branches and more than 9 million customers, have gained 0.2 percent in 2011, compared with a 32 percent decline in India's 14-company Bankex Index. The MSCI World Index (MXWO) has lost 11 percent this year, heading for its worst annual performance in three years.
The shares fell 3.1 percent at 12:03 p.m. in Mumbai, compared with a 0.3 percent drop in the benchmark Sensex index.
"From an investor perspective, it's great to have Kotak at the helm," said Brian Hunsaker, an analyst in Hong Kong at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. "He's built the business, his interests are aligned with investors, and he will presumably be running it for many years to come."
Kotak Mahindra's investment bank posted a loss of 40 million rupees for the quarter ended Sept. 30 compared with a 70 million-rupee profit a year earlier. Profit at the commercial- banking unit increased 34 percent to 2.6 billion rupees.
'Consistent' Growth Story
Overall, group profit for the period was 4.3 billion rupees on revenue of 16.7 billion rupees. In the fiscal year ended March 31, the group reported net income of 16.7 billion rupees on 84 billion rupees in revenue.
"Investors always look for consistent and strong growth stories and Kotak Mahindra today has that," said India Infoline's Kumar.
Foreign banks have cut jobs in commercial and investment banking in India amid global firings this year. Barclays Plc (BARC), based in London, will eliminate 200 retail-banking positions in India as it winds down consumer lending, a person with knowledge of the matter said on Dec. 8. Three of Tokyo-based Nomura Holdings Inc. (8604)'s most senior executives in India left amid job reductions in Asia and Europe, three people familiar with the matter said Nov. 16.
Competitors Scale Down
Kotak Mahindra won't follow suit, its founder said. The lender expects to get a "larger share of this pie in due course" as competitors scale down and the banking industry improves over the next 12 to 18 months, Kotak said. He estimates that his investment bank, which employs 82 people working on mergers and selling shares, will revive next year if India starts lowering interest rates, as analysts have forecast.
"As the interest-rate cycle turns downward in India, which I think happens sometime post-April 2012, we would love to see both the engines fire -- the banking engine and the capital- markets engine -- sometime in the second half of next year," Kotak said.
Credit will expand about 17 percent this fiscal year, which ends in March 2012, Kotak said. India's economy will return to long-term economic growth of 9 percent, from 7.5 percent for the year ended March 31, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in a Dec. 14 interview in New Delhi with Bloomberg News.
Farms, Home Loans
Kotak Mahindra's commercial-banking business has been helped by an avoidance of loans to airlines and infrastructure projects and a concentration on expanding collateral-backed loans for farms, home mortgages and vehicles, Kotak said.
"We've stepped on the gas in terms of agricultural lending against agricultural commodities, against tractors, against commercial vehicles," he said. "The real backbone to the Indian economy is middle India."
Kotak said that because of the bank's loan mix, it can expand at 1.5 to 2 times India's 15 percent nominal growth rate, which is the GDP growth rate plus the rate of inflation.
The group's net interest margin, a measure of its lending profitability, shrank to 4.8 percent for the quarter that ended in September, from 5.2 percent a year earlier. Kotak Mahindra still has the highest net interest margin among Indian lenders compared with 4.1 percent for HDFC Bank Ltd. (HDFCB), 3.7 percent for the nation's largest lender, State Bank of India, and 2.6 percent for ICICI Bank Ltd. (ICICIBC)
The bank has a relatively small savings deposit base compared with its rivals, according to KBW's Hunsaker.
"They are certainly disadvantaged on the funding side," Hunsaker said. "That is something they could improve upon longer term."
Cricket Accident
Kotak, who has a master's degree in business administration from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies in Mumbai, played cricket in his youth before he got hit in the head with a ball in 1979 and almost died, saved only by emergency surgery, he said.
"It got me a perspective on life," he said. "I learned to do what you think is right, and be bold about it."
Unlike many family-owned enterprises in India, Kotak Mahindra has avoided employing family members.
"My view is you need to think professionally," said Kotak, who has two sons of university age.
Professional Management
Mahindra, for his part, lauds his partner for his professional management practices.
"He definitely knows how to build consensus," Mahindra said. "People see Kotak Mahindra as a one-man show. It's anything but. His core senior team has all stuck around because of the climate of challenge and empowerment."
Kotak is unlike many billionaires in Asia "who would never stoop so low as to take an analyst's call," said Hunsaker. "He's out there meeting with analysts, investors, policy makers, making himself accessible."
Kotak criticizes the practice of offering loans to fund acquisitions to win investment-banking business.
"There's a fundamental conflict between good advice and writing a check," he said. "An advisory league table is about what value has been added by a banker, and you don't mix it with finance."
Rivals including London-based Standard Chartered Plc (STAN) say they plan to increase takeover financing in India as they seek to gain ground in mergers advisory.
"We run advisory as an integrated piece," Neeraj Swaroop, Standard Chartered's outgoing chief executive officer for India and South Asia, said in an interview Dec. 13. "If we have to give balance sheet and we are comfortable with the client, we will put out our balance sheet."
Looking to Expand
In mergers-and-acquisitions advisory, Kotak Mahindra is ranked No. 21 this year, while Standard Chartered, which funded deals including Aditya Birla Group's $875 million purchase of Columbian Chemicals Co. in January, is No. 3, according to Bloomberg data. Morgan Stanley (MS) is No. 1.
As investment-banking revenue slows amid the European sovereign-debt crisis and banks face tougher capital requirements from regulators, financial companies have announced 230,000 job cuts globally this year, eclipsing 174,000 in 2009, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Still, Kotak Mahindra is looking to expand in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Malaysia, Kotak said.
"There are a lot of countries in Asia that are not necessarily the most fashionable but make the most business sense," he said.

Elizabeth Copland was born and raised in Arviat but spent 14 years in Whale Cove. Before deciding to run in this election, she was the chair of the Nunavut Impact Review Board.
In 2007, Copland was elected as Arviat's first female mayor. Copland has spent over 20 years as a coroner. She's also been a justice of the peace and economic development officer. In 2010, Copland was appointed chair of the Nutrition North Canada advisory board (she resigned two years later). She's also served with the Nunavut Planning Commission.
Copland's campaign slogan is "It's our turn." She says Arviat and Whale Cove have been ignored for too long. If elected, she'll focus on education, jobs and health care. She's also concerned about cancer prevention and the high cost of living.
Joseph Ivitaaruq Kaviok
Joseph Ivitaaruq Kaviok, 56, grew up in Whale Cove, Arviat and Winnipeg. Kaviok is currently Arviat's fire chief, a job he's done for the past four years, and from 1978 to 1996.
As a young man, Kaviok went to work at the short-lived Cullaton Lake Gold Mine about 200 km west of Arviat. In addition to fighting fires, he's spent the past four years as a driver instructor, teaching people how to get their class 5 drivers' license.
Kaviok says he's running to give back to all the people of Whale Cove who babysat him while both his parents worked in the cannery there. He says housing is a big issue, "but most all, I'm pushing for education because the young people need it today." Kaviok is running against his big brother, David Kritterdlik of Whale Cove.
David Kritterdlik
David Kritterdlik, 62, has spent most of his life in Whale Cove. He worked with the former Northwest Territories department of social services before division, and with the hamlet of Whale Cove. He also runs his own business as a general contractor and acts as the local airline agent.
Kritterdlik has been a hamlet councillor and mayor. He worked with the Caribou Management Board and the Keewatin Wildlife Federation. He was a board member and acting chair of the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board. He's spent the past six years with Sakku Investments, including three years as board chairman.
Kritterdlik says he's running so he can speak for small communities. If elected, his main issue is the cost of living, which he links directly to the high cost of transportation. He'd like to see a railway from Manitoba to Arviat. He also wants to see funding for community groups, like housing associations or health centres, to hire young people and train them on the job. "They could learn the skills they need, and that would also help with unemployment."
George Kuksuk
George Kuksuk, 59, is a former mayor and businessman in Arviat. Kuksuk also has a daughter and grandchildren in Whale Cove and says he visits regularly.
Kuksuk ran an expediting/shipping company in the hamlet, and later was the chair of Sakku Investments and the Keewatin Business Development Centre. He also served on the board of the Arviat Development Corporation.
He's running in this election because he feels the smaller communities have been left out. "I see absolutely nothing in those smaller communities in terms of getting a piece of the pie from government funding." He's also concerned about the way the government issues contracts.
Amauyuk Netser
Amauyuk Netser, 65, grew up in Coral Harbour and moved to Arviat in 2002. He's now retired after spending over 40 years as a heavy duty journeyman mechanic, but says he's "a hunter, first of all." He's also served on the hamlet council in Rankin Inlet, on the district education authority in Coral Harbour and on the board of Nunasi Corporation.
He says there are many issues he'd tackle if elected, starting with the cost of living and housing. He worries about people who can't afford their power bills, and the huge expense of owning a home.
Netser is also concerned about the new jail in Rankin Inlet, which he says is filling up with young people. According to him, the government should focus on education and jobs that keep young people out of trouble in the first place.

Italian design meets American muscle once again to collaborate on a one-of-a-kind Ford Mustang concept making its world premiere this week at the Los Angeles auto show. Called the Mustang by Giugiaro, the vehicle is a styling exercise penned by famed design house and coachbuilder Italdesign – Giugiaro S.P.A. and tuned by Ford Racing technologies. Click to see more of the Mustang by Giugiaro in our Los Angeles Auto Show CoverageAutomotive icons such as the Mustang have long captured the attention of Fabrizio Giugiaro, Italdesign's styling director. So in early 2005, when Giugiaro pitched his idea to work his magic on a Mustang with the help of his legendary father Giorgetto Giugairo, Ford group vice president, Design and chief creative officer J Mays was only too happy to oblige.Fabrizio Giugiaro led the 2-D design process on the concept and delivered a complete exterior model in four months. Visually, the concept appears more compact than the production Mustang, thanks to a reduction of the rear overhang and a signature Giugiaro design que of tapering the angles on the car to the limit of its mechanical outlines.The bright orange concept is wider than the production version and its longer hood and barely visible trunk lend it a fastback look at the side view angle. Among the notable exterior and interior design touches outlined by Fabrizio Giugiaro:>> The interior – featuring a dramatic instrument panel that sweeps the width of the car; circular gauges that project from behind the steering wheel; dark brown horsehide-covered headrests with horse logo accents; and seat cushions and backrests elaborately upholstered in dark brown mottled horse hides.>>; The single curved glass panel that bridges the windshield and rear window, serving as the concept's roof. Produced by Solutia of Detroit, the panel is made from a special type of crystal that filters out 100 percent of UVA rays while providing unfettered vista views.>>; Doors hinged at the base of the upright A-pillar and open vertically at the touch of a button.>>; Bespoke taillights, which are three separate elements as found on the 1964 Mustang – but reinterpreted into a more dramatic arrow shape that links to the louver panels that replace the rear side windows.>>; The visible curl that sweeps into the crest of the concept's carbon fiber fenders, hinting at tail fins that defined American cars of the '50s.>>; The unique 20-inch rims,;fitted with 275/40 tires on the front and larger 315/35 tires on the rear.While the exterior design is clearly much of the concept's story, this Mustang is all business beneath its Italian exterior thanks to a powertrain and chassis enhanced in conjunction with Ford Racing – the outfit responsible for Ford Motor Company motorsports development and operations.Ford Racing's race-prepared version of the Mustang, the FR500C, a turn-key race car sold to privateers, provided the inspiration for the Mustang by Giugiaro concept's performance and handling.For the concept, Ford Racing added an intercooled twin-screw supercharger to the all-aluminum 4.6-liter 3-valve V-8 engine in the production Mustang GT. Additional improvements included fuel injectors from the Ford GT and a unique engine calibration. The engine's air intake was increased and its exhaust performance enhanced by new Ford Racing mufflers and an X-pipe. An upgraded radiator was also added. The upgrades helped the concept's powerplant to reach an estimated 500 horsepower.Under the car, the chassis tuning was accomplished with a tailored Ford Racing Handling Pack, available through Ford Racing for the Mustang GT.; The package adds new Dynamic-tuned dampers, lowering springs and anti-sway bars. The changes give the concept a lower stance and help sharpen its handling response. The car rides approximately 1.5 inches lower than the production Mustang GT.Click on any image to see a larger view, and be sure to stay tuned to Motor Trend for more on the Mustang by Giugaro and all the vehicles on display this week at the L.A. show.

Marietta Wrecker Service 22 ReviewsGREAT Wrecker/Towing Service
I can't recommend this company highly enough. They came exactly when they said they would. Justin DeWitt also called to let me know he was on his way. He was professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Both Justin and the dispatcher, who was very reassuring to my wife, were pleasant and easy to talk to. They told me of what the charge would be and there were no surprises. I find their charges to be in line with what other companies charge, plus it was a Sunday afternoon. They are very customer service oriented and we would call them again if needed. Bill Higgins

Whatever your issues are, there are some simple but effective ways to move past stress and enjoy sex.
The best person to talk about sex with is the person you're actually having it with. But if you're not quite ready to open up about what's bothering you, we still suggest you spill to someone you trust. Talk to a close friend, your sister or anyone you feel comfortable dishing about sex with. The more you talk about sex, the more you'll realize that the hang-ups you have are likely more common than you realize. Plus, getting things off your chest makes moving past them a whole lot easier.
It's really difficult to enjoy sex if you're stressed out or thinking about other things (whether he likes you, if you spent enough time at the gym this week or if he's enjoying himself). The less you're caught up in what's going on in your head, the better your experience will be. Try to clear your mind and only focus on exactly what's happening. In other words: Be in the moment. Every time you feel yourself over-thinking something, take a deep breath and refocus on the here and now.
Whatever you're trying to do, whether it's feel more confident in the buff or get a little more adventurous between the sheets, takes time and no one expects you to change overnight. But you can take small steps toward your goal as a way to get where you want to be without too much pressure. Do one thing every day that gets you a little bit closer to your goal and away from your hang-up.
As serious as it can seem sometimes, sex is supposed to be fun. We're not saying you should be rolling off the bed in a fit of laughter every time you have sex, but there should be an element of fun in the proceedings. Do yourself a favor and stop taking things so seriously. Laugh at yourself, laugh at him, laugh together! Sex can be messy and awkward but that's OK. The less seriously you take what happens, the more you'll enjoy whatever happens.

Urban Meyer vs. Nick Saban: Who's the King of Recruiting?September 18, 2012
It was once a heated SEC rivalry, but Urban Meyer's retirement, un-retirement, retirement and move to Ohio State has transformed it to a national rivalry.
Nick Saban vs. Ohio State—who's the king of the recruiting trail?
The answer is Alabama head coach Nick Saban.
While that battle is heated, the stats don't lie: Saban is a recruiting machine.
Nothing against Meyer, who has reeled in some fantastic classes at Florida and did so in his first season at Ohio State, but Saban is the best of the best.
Since taking over at Alabama in 2007, Saban's Alabama teams have finished higher than Urban Meyer's Florida and Ohio State teams in the Rivals.com team recruiting rankings. Saban has bested Meyer in the rankings in three of the five years in which both coaches were in the business.
In three of those seasons (2008, 2009, 2012) Saban has reeled in the nation's No. 1 overall class. Meyer signed the nation's top class only once, and that was in 2007—Saban's first year at Alabama.
Above all else, Saban is relentless.
If it takes sending 105 letters in one day to make an impression on a recruit, he will do it. If it takes going on Skype for 90 minutes, he will do it. It has even been reported that he offered safety Landon Collins' girlfriend a job, which would be illegal in basketball, but not football (via Yahoo! Sports).
Not all of these tactics work. His Skype conversation with Brice Ramsey hasn't swayed the Georgia commit from Athens, and his letter barrage to Alvin Kamara hasn't resulted in a commitment yet.
But they get the attention of recruits, and that's what matters.
It was this type of tenacity that has resulted in the flip of several key contributors, including freshman running back T.J. Yeldon, who signed with Alabama in 2012 after being committed to Auburn earlier in the process.
In his first three games in Tuscaloosa, Yeldon has 191 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
Meyer is a stud on the recruiting trail too. He has already forced Big Ten recruiting to evolve into the 21st century by recruiting players that are committed elsewhere, drawing the ire of his fellow Big Ten coaches in the process.
Both coaches are consistently elite, but Saban's ceiling has proven to be higher than Meyer's.
They were the rivals in the SEC, they are rivals on the recruiting trail, and don't be surprised if they become rivals in the national title mix once Ohio State gets through its current sanctions.

I don't think so. Getting the patch upstream has several reasons IMHO: 1) We're applying an opensource scheme: "if you're making changes, send feedback upstream so that everyone can benefit of it". We're not willing to fork the Linux kernel and make a "Debian kernel", are we? 2) Getting the patch upstream allows upstream kernel hackers to review it. This is of real interest to our users, since we ensure that they will have a verified and accepted (read: supported) kernel. Forking the kernel would actually be missing the interest of our users. BTW, IMHO that last sentence also applies WRT negative diffs (read: removing files)... I know that we've been having kernel packages rather "different" than pristing source (at least for 2.4), and I'm not quite sure that is a Good Thing (tm), especially when it comes to arch-dependent bits. (who said hppa patch was 700k+? ;) > So what if it is a monolitic patch ? The kernel-patch package gets first > prepared, uploaded to svn, and built and uploaded to the archive.

I do agree that we need to provide our users with good software in a timely fashion. "Good" here means "good quality", and that's very important as well.

I fainted.
After all that running through the bitter cold, after all that climbing up jagged, ice-slicked rock, after fending off angry moose and a particularly aggressive dinosaur, I fainted. I had finally found my quarry on top of a snow dappled mountain top, a cousin of the aforementioned dinosaur but bigger, meaner and harder to kill. It owned me, and I fainted. Because I didn't know what I was doing.
The hunt started off well enough. I hacked at the thing repeatedly with my sword, dodged its oncoming charges and even used a flash bomb to great effect. Yet as soon as I lost track of my quarry I was forced to struggle (wo)manfully with the camera in order to re-center it, which allowed Barney to get the drop. Only when I spun the camera around wildly on my second attempt was I finally able to lock on and fell the beast. Thus went my first mission in Monster Hunter Freedom 2, an amazing game for the PSP that I somehow missed out on four years ago.
Even today the game looks purrrrty, with gorgeous environments, vivid monsters and colorful palettes. The game also sounds purty, with a fairly catchy soundtrack that sets the tone for this epic monster-vanquishing adventure. And although the story isn't exactly deep (NPCs are fairly entertaining though) the gameplay is VERY deep. I'm impressed with the amount of strategy you can employ to win your objective, and I like how everything from fishing to bug collecting actually serves to enhance your hunting skills. Not only does catching and cooking my own food make for an entertaining mini game, but later on I know I'll thank myself for hanging out in the great outdoors when I'll need that food to keep my stamina up against a particularly tricky Boss. I even enjoy the fact that what you WEAR makes a difference. If I load myself up in heavy armor and top it off with heavy weaponry, I'm going to pay a heavy price. Likewise if I wear very little and carry around very little, monsters are going to beat me up with little problem. I've only just completed the seven part training mode and am off to my first official hunt, but I feel like already I've learned a ton of invaluable things.
So who here has played Monster Hunter? Did you enjoy it? Do you find it's rewarding? Challenging? Boring? Will I enjoy other games in the series or will I get bored with a fairly formulaic property? Sound off in the comments below! <3

We want to have it all: financial strength, secure homes, clean air and water for our children. With the latest technological advances available, we deserve to have every dilemma resolved. Isn't that the way it's supposed to work? "Hope in Troubled Times" dares to say "no." Poverty, terrorism, and overtaxed land are planetary problems that make even believers despair. But the authors point to Christ as the source of hope. Our choice is obvious. We work together, learning to live unselfishly, or we watch civilization sink further into the abyss. With a foreword by renowned human rights activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu, "Hope in Troubled Times" provides real-world solutions to life-threatening problems. The authors show that with God's guidance we can knock down the idols that stunt clear thinking.
Hope In Troubled Times Pb by Bob Goudzwaard; Mark Vander Vennen was published by Baker in May 2007 and is our 62573rd best seller. The ISBN for Hope In Troubled Times Pb is 9780801032486.

GridPoint CEO Peter L. Corsell Recognized By Technology Review's Prestigious TR35 Listing of the World's Top Young Innovators for 2008
GridPoint Inc., a leading clean tech company whose smart grid platform benefits electric utilities, consumers and the environment, announced that its President and CEO Peter L. Corsell has been recognized by Technology Review magazine as one of the world's top innovators under the age of 35 for developing a practical solution to advance the development of a Smart Grid. Selected from more than 300 nominees by a panel of expert judges and the editorial staff of Technology Review, the TR35 is an elite group of accomplished young innovators who exemplify the spirit of innovation.
"Peter Corsell is a persistent visionary: He sees the day when individual consumers can become active participants in the power grid, managing their own electricity use online to reduce consumption and costs," said Esther Dyson, renowned futurist and technology author. "This vision empowers users and enables utilities to more efficiently use existing capacity, which ultimately means building fewer of the most expensive, most polluting power generation facilities. This can be a hard sell in the legacy world of electric utilities, but Peter has the grit and determination to prevail."GridPoint is the pioneer of innovative smart grid platform that empowers utilities to optimize electrical grid management, achieve business objectives, increase grid reliability, promote environmental stewardship and fuel the adoption of renewable energy sources. The platform applies information technology to the electric grid to provide utilities with an intelligent network of distributed energy resources that controls load, stores energy and produces power.

For Halloween, six Indiana seniors dressed as the Hoosiers' championship banners
The best costume at one of Bloomington's most popular sports bars Wednesday night had a college hoops theme to it.
Indiana senior Ben Kessler and friends Andrew Josephs, Michael Friedman, Jedd Horn, Mitch Glazer and Vad Slezberg purchased red felt, white fabric paint and stencils on Wednesday so they could dress as the championship banners hanging at Assembly Hall. Five of them represented Indiana's past national titles. The sixth dressed as the one the preseason No. 1 Hoosiers hope to capture in 2013.
When Kessler and his friends walked to Kilroy's Sports Bar in Bloomington, drivers who passed them honked their horns in support. They received the loudest ovation of any of the contestants in the the costume contest at Kilroy's, earning them first prize — $500 and free cover for life.
"It was an amazing night for us," Kessler said. "We didn't want to spend that much money. We spent like $12 each and we won $500. I think that's a good investment."
Kessler and his friends are longtime Indiana basketball fans, so they're very much looking forward to a season that should be the culmination of the Hoosiers' return to national relevance. Even though Halloween is over, Kessler thinks he and his friends may be able to get some more value out of their memorable costumes.
"We're definitely going to wear it to one of the games this season," he said. "Maybe we'll save it for the North Carolina game or something."
If not then, maybe in Atlanta the first week of April. That's when the Hoosiers could make that optimistic sixth banner a reality.

The 15 Most Powerful Members Of 'Skull And Bones'
By Thornton McEnery
(Business Insider) The most famous secret society in America, Skull and Bones was co-founded at Yale in 1832 by the father of a future president and has come to signify everything that attracts and repulses the public about "The Elite."
Rumor has it that Yale junior class members are tapped for membership each fall by some measure of leadership, influence and breeding.
Among the business titans, poets, politicians and three US Presidents that are rumored to be members, we've picked out the honor roll.
William Howard Taft – Class of 1878
Yale University Archives
Our 27th, and fattest (fun fact), President was known to his college buddies as "Big Lub," and was the first "Bonesman" ever to reach The Oval Office.Frankly, young Mr. Taft would probably had a rather easy time getting into the club…
His father, and one-time Attorney General, Alphonso Taft, co-founded Skull and Bones as a Yale student in 1832.
Amos Alonzo Stagg – Class of 1888
Yale University Archives
Yale's greatest football player of all-time (apologies to Calvin Hill), Stagg practically invented the modern game and is still the only man to be elected into both the Pro Football and Pro Basketball Halls of Fame. It can only be assumed that being the most gifted jock in Yale's history had some bearing on Mr. Stagg's being chosen to join Skull and Bones.
William Averill Harriman – Class of 1913
Yale University Archives
The future Governor of New York and Presidential candidate was clearly a man who liked his time at Yale… Immediately after inheriting the largest fortune in The United States from his railroad baron father upon his graduation, Harriman took a job as Yale's crew coach and stuck around New Haven.
No doubt the man his fellow Bonesmen referred to Averill as "Thor," continued to enjoy himself around town as Yale celebrity before moving on to his many future successes.
Archibald MacLeish – Class of 1915
Yale University Archives
Before living in Paris amongst "The Lost Generation" of Hemingway, Pound and Fitzgerald, while honing a poetic voice that would yield three Pulitzer Prizes, MacLeish was a Yale Graduate and a member of Skull and Bones. It would seem that MacLeish, like most Bonesmen, was chosen more for his brains more than his connections…
"Archie's" father was an Illinois dry goods dealer, and his mother was a college professor, a rare combination of parentage and geography for the Bonesmen of his day.
Prescott Bush – Class of 1916
Yale University Archives
If you thought "Dubya" was a wild man in his college years, you should have met his grand-daddy. Prescott, the future Senator from Connecticut, was apparently a real "cut-up" who, along with some other Bonesmen, is believed to have dug up and absconded with the skull of the legendary Native American warrior Geronimo during World War I.
Legend has it that Geronimo's head is still inside Skull and Bones HQ, known as "The Tomb," at 64 High Street in New Haven.
Robert Lovett – Class of 1918
Yale University Archives
Harry Truman's Secretary of War and the man whom many have called "The Architect of The Cold War" was the consummate Bonesman insider. Along with sharing a membership timeline with Prescott Bush, Lovett was also friendly with fellow Bonesman Harvey Hollister Bundy, who served with Lovett in Truman's War Cabinet and was the father of future Bonesman McGeorge Bundy.
Henry Luce – Class of 1920
Yale University Archives
The man who went on to found and publish Time Magazine was first an editor of The Yale Daily News. He was also a man that fellow Bonesmen referred to as "Baal," an apparent reference to a mythological, ancient, Aramaic demon.
We have no idea why, but the mind boggles at the implications.
Potter Stewart – Class of 1936
Yale University Archives
The son of a Midwestern Congressman, Stewart went on to be an editor of The Yale Law Review, after being a member of Skull and Bones during his undergraduate days. But it was perhaps much later in life that Mr. Potter was of greatest assistance to Bonesmen of the future…
As an Associate Justice of The Supreme in 1965, Mr. Potter wrote a dissent in Griswold v. Connecticut, setting the stage for the future legalization of the sales of contraceptives in The Nutmeg State, no doubt bringing great relief to the young gentlemen inside "The Tomb."
McGeorge Bundy – Class of 1940
Yale University Archives
Before becoming one of JFK's "Wise Men," Bundy was another Bonesman with a long family lineage of getting "Tapped" for the society. But, if the lore surrounding Skull and Bones has any veracity, he was apparently a man with a personality all his own, one that led his pals to nickname him "Odin."
George Herbert Walker Bush – Class of 1948
Skull and Bones Yearbook, 1948
The second ever Bonesman to be elected President, "41" was also a fighter pilot in WWII, Ambassador to "Red China" and Director of the CIA. His training at Skull and Bones must have been invaluable in the career he made out of keeping safe the secrets of state

CBS News: Skull and Bones
By Rebecca Leung
(CBS) As opposite as George Bush and John Kerry may seem to be, they do share a common secret – one they've shared for decades, and one they will not share with the electorate.
The secret: details of their membership in Skull and Bones, the elite Yale University society whose members include some of the most powerful men of the 20th century.
Bonesmen, as they're called, are forbidden to reveal what goes on in their inner sanctum, the windowless building on the Yale campus that is called the Tomb.
When 60 Minutes first reported on Skull & Bones last October, conspiracy theorists, who see Skull and Bones behind just about everything that goes wrong, and even right, in the world, were relishing the unthinkable – the possibility of two Bonesman fighting it out for the presidency.
Over the years, Bones has included presidents, cabinet officers, spies, Supreme Court justices, captains of industry, and often their sons and lately their daughters, a social and political network like no other.
And to a man and women, they'd responded to questions with utter silence until an enterprising Yale graduate, Alexandra Robbins, managed to penetrate the wall of silence in her book, "Secrets of the Tomb," reports CBS News Correspondent Morley Safer.
"I spoke with about 100 members of Skull and Bones and they were members who were tired of the secrecy, and that's why they were willing to talk to me," says Robbins. "But probably twice that number hung up on me, harassed me, or threatened me."
Secret or not, Skull and Bones is as essential to Yale as the Whiffenpoofs, the tables down at a pub called Mory's, and the Yale mascot – that ever-slobbering bulldog.
Skull and Bones, with all its ritual and macabre relics, was founded in 1832 as a new world version of secret student societies that were common in Germany at the time. Since then, it has chosen or "tapped" only 15 senior students a year who become patriarchs when they graduate — lifetime members of the ultimate old boys' club.
"Skull and Bones is so tiny. That's what makes this staggering," says Robbins. "There are only 15 people a year, which means there are about 800 living members at any one time."
But a lot of Bonesmen have gone on to positions of great power, which Robbins says is the main purpose of this secret society: to get as many members as possible into positions of power.
"They do have many individuals in influential positions," says Robbins. "And that's why this is something that we need to know about."
President Bush has tapped five fellow Bonesmen to join his administration. Most recently, he selected William Donaldson, Skull and Bones 1953, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Like the President, he's taken the Bones oath of silence.
Ron Rosenbaum, author and columnist for the New York Observer, has become obsessed with cracking that code of secrecy.
"I think there is a deep and legitimate distrust in America for power and privilege that are cloaked in secrecy. It's not supposed to be the way we do things," says Rosenbaum. "We're supposed to do things out in the open in America. And so that any society or institution that hints that there is something hidden is, I think, a legitimate subject for investigation."
His investigation is a 30-year obsession dating back to his days as a Yale classmate of George W. Bush. Rosenbaum, a self-described undergraduate nerd, was certainly not a contender for Bones. But he was fascinated by its weirdness.
"It's this sepulchral, tomblike, windowless, granite, sandstone bulk that you can't miss. And I lived next to it," says Rosenbaum. "I had passed it all the time. And during the initiation rites, you could hear strange cries and whispers coming from the Skull and Bones tomb."
Despite a lifetime of attempts to get inside, the best Rosenbaum could do was hide out on the ledge of a nearby building a few years ago to videotape a nocturnal initiation ceremony in the Tomb's courtyard.
"A woman holds a knife and pretends to slash the throat of another person lying down before them, and there's screaming and yelling at the neophytes," he says.
Robbins says the cast of the initiation ritual is right out of Harry Potter meets Dracula: "There is a devil, a Don Quixote and a Pope who has one foot sheathed in a white monogrammed slipper resting on a stone skull. The initiates are led into the room one at a time. And once an initiate is inside, the Bonesmen shriek at him. Finally, the Bonesman is shoved to his knees in front of Don Quixote as the shrieking crowd falls silent. And Don Quixote lifts his sword and taps the Bonesman on his left shoulder and says, 'By order of our order, I dub thee knight of Euloga.'"

Very happy with Griot's products. I detailed both my 2012 Tacoma with 100K and my 2017 Fusion with 4K miles. Still have plenty of product left for 6-10 more details. A little Griot's goes along way. Both cars look like they are coated in a layer of glass and now have deep color depth. The Fusion looks better now then the day I drove it out of the show room. I used the Best Show Was on the Ford and only the Clay and Speed Shine on the Tacoma. Again both look amazing.

Dear Bay Weekly:
I loved Carrie Madren's story "Bag It" [Vol. xv, No. 37: Sept.13]. My boys and I saved a horseshoe crab from probable death as it struggled to free itself from a plastic store bag. The crab was tangled up along the shoreline at our community beach, and we had to cut it free. I can only imagine how many other wildlife deaths are occurring out there, and with turtles being my favorite animal, the story definitely touched home with me. I enjoyed reading the story and sharing it with my children.

Maryland's seafood industry may be gone forever as of midnight Sept. 30, when the returning worker provision of the H-2B Guest Worker Program expired, thereby eliminating the majority of seasonal employees who have kept our family and the majority of Maryland seafood processors in business [The Whole Crab: Vol. xiii, No 39: Sept. 29, 2005].
The lapsed returning worker program was critical to small seasonal businesses around Maryland, including Maryland watermen. Many Maryland seafood companies will close permanently if the H-2B returning worker provision is not reinstated.
Picking houses, shucking houses, canneries and hospitality and landscape business will all suffer disproportionately without workers to fill slots that no locals wish to fill. This program does not rob Americans of jobs. Two and a half American jobs are retained for each and every H-2B temporary worker. At the end of the processing season these temporary workers return home, and most continue to return to the same employer every year, season after season.
Maryland's seafood production is seasonal. This makes the work unattractive to local workers, who want full-time jobs. Local workers don't need seasonal work, and don't even apply.
Maryland's processors produce the safest product in the world due to strict government inspection, plus an industry-sponsored quality control and inspection program. But these local companies compete with those importing crabmeat from all over the world, including Southeast Asia, Central and South America. Thus, if they miss one season of production and distribution, their niche markets will disappear forever. Buyers who want real Maryland crabmeat will be lost forever to the cheaper imports.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski has twice been successful in accomplishing passage of the Save Small Seasonal Business Act, both in 2005 and 2006. She has helped save hundreds of Maryland's small businesses from failure while saving thousands of American jobs. She and the entire Maryland congressional delegation are again co-sponsoring the Save Small Seasonal Business Act of 2007 (S.988 and HR.1843)

Just hoping to get a little advice please?
Basically at work We have a system in place to invoice people which is hosted on a third party website which is php
but all seems to be in java frames?.
To send out an invoice we need to log in to the website, go to the accounts page,
type in an individual account number and submit. It then sends us to the customer account page.
We then have to click on another button "statement" which pops up a pdf window which
we then have to print, close and return to the accounts page.
As you can imagine having to do this with 40+ accounts at a time is quite time consuming.
I am hoping to write a program to automate this, i type in a list of account numbers, and the program automates
the rest.
I am not asking for code on a plate, I am willing to learn this myself. I just need to know if this is possible and
what language would be best for doing it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Santiago (Fides Service) –"Where is the One who is born?"(cfr Mt 2,2) is the slogan of the traditional 'Christmas on the Streets' initiative organised by the office for university Pastoral in the Archdiocese of Santiago in Chile. Every year the initiative involves hundreds of students, teachers and other staff with their respective families go out onto the streets on Christmas Eve to adore Christ present in needy brothers and sisters.
Taking into account the diverse situations of the people encountered on the streets, old people, tramps, sick people, prostitutes, street children, participants attend a formation course on 13 December which helps them to assume an attitude of great respect and tact with regard to the people with whom they will share a moment of Christmas joy and brotherhood and as well as alleviating their suffering. The preparatory meeting also serves to assign city areas to the different groups and to plan activities to render the visit to the most needy brothers and sisters of the Chilean society a moment of joy.
Usually there is a prayer, selected according to the place and the people encountered, followed by a moment of fraternity and sharing which may include a small party, singing or simply listening to the tale of troubles these people have to tell.
On Wednesday 24 December 2003, from 7 –7.30pm., the students and families will gather in the cathedral of Santiago where His Eminence Cardinal Javier Errazuriz, Archbishop of Santiago, their Pastor, will bless them and send them out to visit their brothers and sisters in all manner of places, identified previously by the organisers. Between 11pm to 12.30 they will return Cathedral for a solemn Mass of the Nativity of the Lord at the end of which the " Christmas on the Streets missionaries" will return to their families to share with the loved ones their experience of mission on the streets of Santiago. (R.Z.) (Fides Service 11/12/2003; lines 24; words 335)

By Steven Winn
Lena Hall, who won a Tony Award for her featured actress performance as the male character Yitzhak in the rock musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," comes by unconventional casting naturally. The daughter of two San Francisco choreographers, Ethnic Dance Festival co-artistic director Carlos Carvajal and Carolyn Carvajal, she was raised in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood.
Q: How did that upbringing affect your childhood?
A: It was great. I grew up with a different understanding of the world. Gay, lesbian transgendered people and drag queens were always in and out of my life. It made me very open to whoever I came across in the world. Never did I think anything was strange.
Q: How did your parents' outlook and work affect you?
A: There was one point when I was in school and wanted to be a doctor. My father and mother both said, "No. Stay in the arts."
Q: You took their advice.
A: They encouraged me to be a prima ballerina. I had a full scholarship to San Francisco Ballet when I was 11. My life was school and dance and nothing else. At age 12 I saw my sister in a musical theater production. From that moment on I wanted to quit dance and do that. I wanted to be more of a normal kid.
Q: Did you and your sister perform together?
A: The first show we were in together was "West Side Story." It was at Stern Grove. My father choreographed it.
Q: That was with the San Francisco Park and Rec's Young People Teem Musical Theatre Company?
A: I loved that company. It was very much what a Broadway company is – a family of like-minded people who find each other. "Once Upon a Mattress" at the Randall Museum was the first time I realized I could make people laugh. That was pretty infectious.
Q: How did your professional career begin?
A. I was cast in the touring company of "Cats" as a swing when I was 18, after I graduated from School of the Arts. I got my Equity card and instantly became an adult.
Q: When did you change your name (from Celina Carvajal to Lena Hall)?
A: About a year ago. People were having trouble remembering my name. The stage name I use in my band is Lena Hall. It just seemed simpler. I held out for my lineage for a while. Carvajals go back as performers for seven generations in the Philippines. Then I found out that someone way back had taken Carvajal as a stage name. So maybe it was meant to be.
Q: How does it feel to be in a cult hit like "Hedwig?"
A: It's everything I wanted and more. It's almost its own belief system. The audience gets so uproarious and raucous you think the theater's going to implode.
Q: How was Tony night for you?
A: I was so nervous and felt so sick I thought I was going to throw up. The pit of my soul was turning over and over.
Q: Your acceptance speech was so spontaneous and joyous. You said, "Friendship is magic."
A: I don't even think I was breathing. I kept thinking I had 90 seconds. 90 seconds! I know I forget some things. I'm just happy to have made a few blanket statements of gratitude.
Q: Neil Patrick Harris, your lead actor, was beaming at you from the audience. Did you two talk?
A: He had sent me this very beautiful note before the matinee that day, saying how bad he wanted me to win. It made me cry. Right after I got the award I had to change into my costume for the "Hedwig" number. Then Neil and I were backstage doing what we always do when we're in costume. We stayed in character and insulted each other."
Q: Did you celebrate afterwards?
A: You go to all these different parties, but you hardly see anyone. I was there with my agent and manager. You run around and say hi. It's part of the business. I'm looking forward to going out to dinner with the company so we can just sit down and be quiet and talk about what happened.

The air is turning brisk, the leaves are transitioning to beautiful shades of red and gold, the scents of bonfires and pumpkin pie fill the air and fall festivals are plentiful. It's my absolute favorite time of year.
It is a wonderful time for fall fun in Springfield. It is also a great time to draw closer together and enjoy time with family and friends. I've found that as the weather turns just a little cooler, it's easier to get my family of five outside to enjoy all the great trails that this region has to offer. With more than 50 miles in the Ozark Greenways trail system, they are easily accessible to run, walk, bike, or in my case, push a stroller. I have a four-year-old boy and 8-month twin girls so we enjoy spending time outside as much as we can.
One of our family's favorite fall traditions is going to the Halloween Spooktacular at the Dickerson Park Zoo. 2013 marks the 30th year for this event and they are celebrating with several themed areas including: Angry Birds Zoo, Prehistoric Forest, Vintage Carnival, Musical Pumpkin Mansion and more. The Spooktacular is open nightly Oct. 19-31.
Another our family's favorite new fall traditions is going to the Rutledge Wilson Farm Park. The park offers free admission and charges a nominal fee for a few of the special activities. My son loves the farm-themed playground, riding on the tricycle tractors and seeing the pigs, goats and miniature horses. On weekends through the end of October, the farm has special events and activities such as a corn maze with more than 250,000 stalks of corn, a pumpkin patch, hayrides, inflatables and even a corn cannon. In December they will kick off "Christmas at the Farm" with a horse-drawn hayride, hot cocoa, face painting, a Christmas tree farm and photos with Santa, so we'll be sure to make it back for those events, too.
We also enjoy going to the Bass Pro Fitness Festival. The Bass Pro Shops in Springfield is the original and largest store and they know how to put on great events! The marathon weekend festivities begin Nov. 1-3 and will include a marathon, half marathon, 5k and even a camoflauge run/walk! This year we're participating in the camo event and I can't wait to see the little girls in their pink camo tutus!
Beginning in November, we'll get in the holiday spirit by attending the kick-off of the annual Festival of Lights celebration. The six-week event features a tree lighting, free ice skating, live performances and wraps up with a great family-friendly New Year's celebration complete with downtown fireworks. Organizers keep adding more events to the list of offerings so I'll be sure to check back often to make sure we don't miss anything.
As you can tell, fall is full of fun in Springfield and I hope you make plans to join us. To learn more about this and other things to do in Springfield, call the Convention & Visitors Bureau at 417-881-5300 or 800-678-8767 or visit www.SpringfieldMO.org. The CVB is a nonprofit organization dedicated to boosting the local economy by promoting travel and tourism to Springfield.

GroupM's Mindshare rejigs senior managementAdvertising
Cheil Worldwide has launched the latest form of digital outdoor branding, Media Poles, in downtown Seoul in Korea. These poles are basically free-standing, tall vertical structures with digital displays meant for advertising and other functional purposes.
This latest technology has been executed in the heart of Seoul's busiest financial district, Kangnam. Located along the roadside of the Kangnam Main Road, there are 22 such poles measuring 12 meters in height and two meters in width, which stand at intervals of 30 meters.
The poles will provide information to Seoul citizens in an interactive and visually fashionable way. Some of their functions include a photo mail service with motion camera function, which can express various effects; digital games; digital voting; search for public transportation systems; and search for movies, books and music titles. These expensive poles provide services in English, Chinese and Japanese.
The LED screens of the poles can also display images of digital art, photography, graphics, lighting sequences and more.
Current advertisers on the Media Poles include Samsung Anycall and a local restaurant, VIPS Salad and Steak.
The information on the poles will change continuously, informs the company. The fixtures will be operated by KT (Korea Telecom), while Cheil will be responsible for content production.
For the record, Cheil Worldwide Inc., an affiliate of Samsung Corporation, has been ranked as the 16th largest agency in the world by Advertising Age. Established in 1973, Cheil has 33 operations in 28 countries, and employs more than 1,300 people. In December 2008, Cheil acquired a 49 per cent stake in Beattie McGuiness Bungay, a top London-based creative agency.
