More Associations Detail 'Wabash Day' Plansby Howard W. Hewitt • October 3, 2005 Share:
The National Association of Wabash Men believe a national day of service fits right into Wabash's core values and the gentleman's rule. The inaugural Wabash Day, Oct. 29-30, will give Wabash alumni and students an opportunity to serve their community.
"Our core values come from two principle sources," Wabash Day chairman Jon Pactor '71 said. "The Gentleman's Rule requires us to be gentlemen and responsible citizens on and off the campus. Most of the time it's the gentleman part of the rule that is emphasized, but here we're talking about the responsible citizen part of the rule.
"The second source of the core values comes from the mission statement: to think critically, act responsibly, lead effective, and live humanely. If we think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, we will make our communities live more humanely."
As many as 20 of the national associations have indicated they will participate in the community service project. But an added benefit thus far has been another way of bringing Wabash men together.
"I was enlisted out of necessity," Dustin DeNeal '04 said. "Bloomington has a large alumni base, and no alumni association. Because of this, Jon Pactor enlisted Pat East '00 and myself to organize the Wabash Day activities here.
"Wabash Day is a great chance for people to see the difference that Wabash men make in their communities. It's a relatively simple but influential opportunity. We hope to make a significant contribution to the community while at the same time demonstrating the impact that Wabash has on the world."
Pactor said DeNeal's attitude has been an added benefit to the NAWM's idea.
"We've already gotten success having alumni who haven't participated in much are now participating," the Indianapolis attorney said. "We have already succeeded in that associations have undertaken projects where they haven't been doing anything. And of course, whatever good we can do in our community will make Wabash Day a big success."
"It's a big deal to get a large number of people to volunteer to do something for someone else," DeNeal said. DeNeal and East will lead a group doing landscaping and sprucing up around a community youth center. "If nothing else, we're hoping it will be a great chance for Wabash men to reconnect and spend a day working together."
As many as 100 Wabash alumni may be tackling projects in Marion County and more across the country.
"We have about 30 associations that have indicated they will participate," Pactor said. "But we don't know how many volunteers any of those groups have yet."
"We're looking in Marion County to have maybe 50-100 or more volunteers. Montgomery County could also have a large turnout as well."
A full list of project leaders, and Pactor's contact information, is available on the Wabash website.
A look at planned projects: (Be sure to check back as we continue to update the list!)

Westwood gets another shot at winning a major
Sat., July 20, 2013, 11:15 p.m.
GULLANE, Scotland — Lee Westwood has contended enough in the majors that he can identify important moments, even if he could barely see his ball.
He had a one-shot lead over Tiger Woods, standing in grass up to his knees in the dunes left of the par-3 16th hole. It was one of the few bad shots Westwood hit Saturday at Muirfield, and by far his worst predicament. Westwood slashed at the ball and it didn't reach the green. He used a putter to belt his next shot up the hill to 12 feet.
What followed was a finish that allowed him to believe he was closer than ever to ending his 20-year pursuit of a major.
Westwood poured in the putt to salvage bogey. He picked up two shots on Woods with a birdie on the next hole. He closed with a solid par, giving him a two-shot lead going into the final round, and most significant Sunday of his career.
"That was probably the biggest momentum thing I did all day — walk off there with a bogey," Westwood said. "That's what's been missing, making those putts. And back it up with a birdie at the next. Those are the sort of things you need to do."
Had he made putts like that, Westwood might not have missed the playoff at the U.S. Open that Woods won in 2008 at Torrey Pines. Or the playoff at Turnberry in 2009. He might even have been able to hold off Phil Mickelson at the Masters in 2010.
Westwood is widely considered the best player of his generation without a major. Maybe that's about to change.
The 40-year-old from England passed one big test when he outplayed Woods on another tough day at Muirfield for a 1-under 70 and grabbed a two-shot lead over Woods and Hunter Mahan, the only players still under par.
"Even though I haven't won a major, I know what it takes to win one," said Westwood, who was at 3-under 210. "It's just a case of going out there tomorrow and having the confidence in my game, which I've got. And putting it to the test."
Sunday figures to be the toughest test of all.
Despite his late blunder by hitting into a bunker and making bogey on the par-5 17th, Woods held it together for a 72. Mahan matched the best score of the third round with a 68 and will play in the final group for the second straight major.
"I've got 14 of these things, and I know what it takes to win it," Woods said. "He's won tournaments all over the world. He knows how to win golf tournaments. He's two shots ahead and we're going to go out there and both compete and play. It's not just us two. There's a bunch of guys who have a chance to win this tournament. And all of us need to really play well tomorrow to win it."
Westwood is the 54-hole leader for the second time in his career. He will try to become only the eighth player dating to 1861 to capture his first major in his 40s. He was hopeful the other close calls will serve him well, though the 40-year-old from England didn't seem all that uptight about it.
"I'm hoping it's going to turn out differently because I haven't won one yet and I'd like to win one," Westwood said. "But what can you do? You can only do what you think is right and put all that practice and hard work you've done tomorrow, try not to get in your own way mentally and just focus on the job at hand and believe you're good enough."
He was plenty good on another warm, sunny afternoon on a course that was noticeable softer but no less demanding.
Woods lost his chance to get in the final group with one swing.
Tied with Westwood as they played the par-5 17th into a stiff breeze off the Firth of Forth, Woods tried to hit 3-wood over a series of bunkers to allow for a simple wedge into the green. With his ball on the slightest slope, he got it up in the air just enough that the wind grabbed it and deposited the ball in the bunker. Woods had to blast out sideways and missed a 15-foot par putt.
Woods twice had at least a share of the 36-hole lead in majors a year ago and fell out of contention on Saturday. Despite the late bogey, he did well enough this time that he was only two shots behind. This is his best chance to end his five-year drought in the majors since the upheaval in his personal life at the end of 2009.
And while he has never won a major when trailing going into the last day, the outlook didn't look bleak from his vantage point.
"I'm only two back," Woods said. "There's only one guy ahead of me."
Instead of playing with Westwood in the final group, Woods will be in the penultimate group with Masters champion Adam Scott, who had a 70. The Australian not only is poised to be the first player with a multiple-major season in seven years, he can atone for his meltdown a year ago at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.
"I go out there tomorrow not carrying the weight of the lead or not having won a major," Scott said. "So it's a different feeling."
Mahan made only two bogeys, and he avoided a third on the final hole when he made a 25-foot putt to save par from the bunker. He played with Mickelson in the final round at Merion and stayed in the game until late in the round, closing with a 75. One month later, he gets another crack at it.
And there are plenty of others still in the game — five major champions within five shots of the lead, a list that goes down to Mickelson at five shots behind.
Two-time major champion Angel Cabrera opened with 12 pars and had a roller-coaster finish — double bogey, birdie, bogey — for a 73. He was at 1-over 214, along with former Masters champion Zach Johnson (73), Henrik Stenson (74) and Ryan Moore (72).
But it starts with Westwood, who can add to the British celebration of sport by capturing his first major. He certainly looked up to the task over 18 holes in the third round, and he didn't seem the least bit uptight when asked to think about what was at stake Sunday.
"I'm not in a high-pressure situation because I'm going to go have dinner, and I'm so good with a knife and fork now that I don't feel any pressure at all," he said, trying to keep the mood light.
He sees nothing wrong with imagining his name on the base of the claret jug, ending all those questions about whether he has the game and guts to win a major. But when he steps to the first tee Sunday, it's all about finding the short, yellow grass carved out of rough that looks like a Kansas wheat field.
"I should be in the same frame of mind as I was today," Westwood said. "I didn't feel any pressure today — felt nice and calm out there and in control of what I was doing."
Miguel Angel Jimenez didn't lose control. He just lost the lead.
The 49-year-old Spaniard found too many bunkers, missed too many fairways and dropped far too many shots. He wound up with a 77, six shots behind.
Woods was never far from the lead, even during four two-shot swings involving Westwood.
The first one came on the par-5 fifth hole. Woods proved there was a driver under that tiger head cover by smashing his tee shot down the fairway, though he wound up missing a 6-foot birdie putt, while Westwood rolled in a 50-foot eagle putt from just short of the green.
Westwood hit a high shot that settled 4 feet from the cup at the par-3 seventh while Woods hammered a 9-iron through the green and made bogey. Westwood led by as many as three shots, but they were tied at the turn when Westwood found a bunker of the tee and made bogey, while Woods had a simple up-and-down for birdie.
The last three holes changed everything — a bogey that could have been much worse, a birdie to build a cushion, a par for confidence.

Sandra Johnson to lead student affairs July 1
Sandra "Sandy" Johnson says that her nearly 25 years as a professional in higher education has afforded her the privilege of giving back. She recently spoke with University News communication specialist Scott Bureau about beginning her next chapter at RIT as senior vice president for student affairs.
Question: Tell us about yourself.
Answer: I'll use an example from the series "This I Believe," which used to run on National Public Radio. I would say my "This I Believe" statement would include "to whom much is given, much is expected" and "always leave things better than you found them." I try to apply these beliefs to aspects of my professional and my personal life. I enjoy giving back and have never seen it as a chore; it's just what I like to do and I believe it is important.
Q: What are the greatest strengths you bring to RIT?
A: Similar to fitness experts who stress the importance of strengthening your core muscles, as a leader I have found it is essential to have a set of principles that support my core values as a professional. I believe in developing others, seeking justice, nurturing excellence, promoting diversity, demonstrating compassion and embracing humor. My decisions are based on these principles.
Q: How do you define student success?
A: It is my belief that a successful student is one who is actively engaged in his or her college experience, both in and out of the classroom. By doing so, students will develop greater awareness of personal and social responsibility, respect for self and others, integrity, ethics, leadership, diversity and commitment to their community.
Q: What are some student affairs initiatives you would like to roll out here at RIT?
A: This is a difficult question to answer, as I have only just embarked on this road. Essential to the process of understanding how we at student affairs can enhance the student experience is first by listening; listening leads to learning. Learning about institutional history, tradition, mission, relationships, and internal and external factors are necessary to manage change and to plan for the future. During my first few months at RIT, I plan to take the time to listen, learn, analyze, seek input and then work collaboratively to plan for the future.
Q: What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
A: In my life, there is no such thing as spare time. Nonetheless, in an attempt to balance the many demands in life, I try to dedicate time each day to providing encouragement to others and to reflect on my own actions in order to make tomorrow a better day.
Q: What is something about yourself that many people don't know?
A: You will learn this if you are sitting or standing to my right and wonder why I am not answering your question—it is because I can't hear you. I am deaf in my right ear.
Hometown: New York, N.Y. and before that Hauppauge, N.Y.
Education: Ed.D., University of Pennsylvania; M.Ed., Columbia University; BA, political science, State University of New York, College at Oswego.
Interests: Cooking, traveling, spinning, reading
Family: Husband, Andy; sons, Caleb (14), Daniel (12); black Labrador retrievers, Charlotte and Brittany

The family is conjecturally descended from a Norman noble, Fredegis, who held the lands of Sibetorp (Sibthorpe) from Count Alan.

In the graveyard of the church there were twenty Irish yew trees, which have gained fame throughout the years.

Born in 1989, I – Maria Astor aka Masha Sedgwick –have lived in what must be the most beautiful city in the world for the last five years: Berlin. The idea to start a blog first surfaced in 2010, when I began to write down private reflections on events in my life, and gradually collated these texts into a kind of ongoing diary. I never stopped writing, and over the years I also developed a profound passion for digital media and photography. Drawing on my love for fashion, beauty, lifestyle and also socially relevant issues, I channeled the growing success of my blog into a concept in which my personality, my love for writing, and my know-how as a pioneer in the influencer world form an authentic, unique whole. With time, I started using other social media channels as outlets as well, among them Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and a podcast, and today I regularly express myself creatively on all of them. Using these different platforms, I take my readers, followers and friends along on on trips to distant corners of the world, or offer them glimpses behind the scenes of the fashion world through my personal, sometimes polarizing lens.

WASHINGTON — Carlos Santana, the Mexico-born powerhouse whose songs have stirred listeners across cultures and across generations, was among five high achievers recognized Sunday at the Kennedy Center Honors.
Santana and a fellow honoree, opera singer Martina Arroyo, were only the third and fourth Latinos in the ranks of 190 overall who have been given a Kennedy medallion. They joined past winners Placido Domingo and Chita Rivera.
"The Latino thing has arrived. It has become the new black," said Harry Belafonte, in a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Santana at the 36th annual national celebration of the performing arts.
Other honorees this year: pianist Herbie Hancock, singer-songwriter Billy Joel and actress Shirley MacLaine.
Santana, 66, who hails from a small town in Jalisco, Mexico, found fame at San Francisco's Fillmore and became a sensation at the 1969 Woodstock Festival with tunes such as "Soul Sacrifice" and "Evil Ways."
At the dawn of this century, he proved his staying power when his album "Supernatural" collected nine Grammys, a record, at the 2000 awards ceremony. He has 10 Grammys and three Latin Grammys.
Belafonte, in his send-up, said his own calypso music could have had a renaissance if he, not Santana, had taken Woodstock by storm. Rattling off Santana's many influences — rock, blues, Afro roots, the Afro-Latino groove, reggaeton and tejano — he said it all sounds foreign, joking: "We shoulda built a bigger fence."
In keeping with a night that emerged as an overdue tribute to Latinos, even Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina on the high court, got in on the revelry.
She celebrated the career of Arroyo, 76, a fellow New Yorker whose father was Puerto Rican and mother was African-American.
"I'm here for the diva," Sotomayor told the crowd, who gave the justice a standing ovation.
Rapper Snoop Dogg and Bill O'Reilly of Fox News, an unlikely pair, appeared in praise of Hancock.
The black-tie audience was not the most likely to plug Snoop Dogg's ribald rap into their iPhones. But there's an anything-goes energy at the gala, which is the exclamation point to the social calendar in the capital.
Snoop Dogg, in sunglasses, a tuxedo and spats, was backed up by several performers. He energized the audience by shouting, "Put your hands up. It's a party, y'all."
Conservative talk-show host O'Reilly opened the tribute to Hancock, saying, "I know, I'm surprised too," as he took the stage. Hancock calls himself a "left-wing, liberal Democrat" and counts President Obama as a friend.
O'Reilly, a fan of Hancock's, said the musician was always serene, modest and polite.
"And believe me, I need that kind of role model," he said.
He said that Hancock, a Buddhist, was so composed that he was the only person seated with Obama who was "not nervous about what I'm going to say."
MacLaine, 79, was dubbed by emcee Glenn Close as "a captivating redhead from Virginia with legs out to here, a heart out to there and a life too big for just one lifetime."
Anna Kendrick belted out "It's Not Where You Start," one of MacLaine's Broadway hits.
MacLaine's brother, actor Warren Beatty, won the honor in 2004, making them the only brother and sister to collect Kennedy prizes.
The evening's emotional wallop came when singers Tony Bennett and Garth Brooks led tributes to Joel, called the "poet, performer and philosopher of today's American songbook."
The 64-year-old Joel was serenaded with tunes ranging from the pop hit "Only the Good Die Young" to the gut-punching ballad to Vietnam Marines, "Goodnight Saigon," a number that was performed by Brooks and drew about 50 war veterans to the stage. Many wearing fatigue jackets, they swayed arm in arm.
The audience rose to their feet during the number, as Joel's eyes glistened.
Before the curtain came down, Rufus Wainwright's plaintive rendition of "New York State of Mind" reminded the audience that not everyone feels the pull of Washington.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who attended, singled out Arroyo as a "national treasure" and enthused about Hancock and Santana.
"Being from San Francisco and having Carlos Santana honored is really personal for us," she said.
She added about Hancock, who lives in Los Angeles: "What a master. He's a personal friend, so we're thrilled for him."
The honors, given only to living artists, recognize a person's lifetime of contributions to American culture through the performing arts: music, dance, theater, opera, film or television.
Michael Stevens, from Studio City, produced and co-wrote this year's program with his father, Washington's George Stevens Jr., creator of the program.
The son, speaking Saturday during a rehearsal, said the diverse Kennedy honorees had traits in common during their enduring careers.
"It's a passion for discovery," he said. "And it's that none of them have been held back by a fear of failure, by a fear of success, by any kind of fear.
"Their art is in part their courage to want to continue to discover: to continue to write, to continue to perform despite the obstacles that they might face along the way, which can be personal, which can be societal, which can be creative. And that's what makes them unique."
The awards show airs Dec. 29 on CBS as a two-hour, prime-time special.
Tribune Washington Bureau reporter Becca Clemons contributed to this report.

Strong Body, Stronger Marriage
Want intimacy that goes beyond washing your spouse's bike shorts? Take these tips from someone who's been there—and come out alright.
Last month, Annie Clements Beaty, wife of Sugarland musician and Kona Inspired spokesperson Thad Beaty, shared her tale of the awkwardness that can plague a household of mixed fitness goals. This month, she talks about how to balance the long hours of training while staying (happily) married.
Hi everyone, Annie here—otherwise known around these parts as the "Ironwife."
Today I'd like to talk about balancing my relationship with my husband with his relationship with training. I don't know if any of you other "IronSpouses" have noticed, but IRONMAN training takes up an awful lot of time. Like, almost all of my husband's free time.
And then there's the pesky issue of having a job (I'm a musician) that predominantly takes place at night, paired with a training schedule that often has my husband waking up around the time I'm getting home. More than once I've pulled into the driveway from a late-night show as he is literally securing his bike to his car, heading out for a long ride before his own workday at the studio begins. Those days are pretty brutal.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it: I don't know how ANY of you balance this type of training with children. Kudos to you! Someone please write a blog about that.
Related Article: Ask a Pro—How to Balance Family with Training
We suspected that things would be tough if Thad decided to take on IRONMAN training so we discussed the prospect together and set expectations for how much time we'd be spending apart and how we'd stay connected through the process. We had to make a decision as a family to work together, so that Thad's IRONMAN was something that would make us stronger, not tear us apart. It's not easy, but I thought I'd share some of our best practices with you all, in the hopes that you too can have a relationship with your spouse that is more enjoyably intimate than, say, the intimacy of hand-washing their bike shorts.
Plan ahead
Now that we've been at this for a while, I have a pretty good grasp of Thad's training schedule. He has his late evening swim class on Wednesdays so that's a night I use for catching up with friends over dinner or scheduling a rehearsal. He has early swim on Fridays (4:20 a.m. early) so if I'm in town, we try to block out date night for Thursday to cook dinner at home, catch up on some TV shows, and go to bed early so he's not tossing and turning waiting for me to finish work and come to bed. We plan ahead and block out time for each other so we don't stress about it.
That's not to say we don't stress. There was the time last month Thad woke me up at four in the morning to ask me to apply sunscreen to a hard-to-reach (and sunburn susceptible) spot on his back. I refused to get out of bed throughout the process—even to wash the sunscreen off my hands—and just lay there brooding with my hands dangling off the side of the bed until he brought me a wet cloth.
Anyway, stories aside, let's move on to tip number two.
Training time = Couple time
I'm not training for a marathon. But I can power-walk and plow through a month of US Weekly's with the best of 'em, so Thad and I often hit side-by-side treadmills at the local recreational center. That way we can at least be in each other's presence when I find out how much baby weight Kim Kardashian still has to lose before she'll leave the house.
And if your spouse ever runs drills on the local high school track, there's no rule that says you can't go out and lay on a towel in the middle of that same track and work on your tan while they run circles around you. I will ask Thad what his minute-per-mile goal is and then count his laps, turning over after every fourth one to ensure a nice, even seven to nine minute rotation.
Make sacrifices
Are there Thursday nights when I want to attend an extremely specialized line dancing class that will allow me to master the Chuck Baby and the Tush Push in one fell swoop? You bet. But that's our date night so it'll have to wait. Would Thad rather run in the beautiful park by our house than suffer my constant interruptions from the treadmill next door with more updates on the fallout from Miley's Grammy performance? Perhaps. But by sticking to the plans we've made we have built the trust necessary to know that we can get through this new season of life as a team. We have to have each other's back right now, otherwise the stresses of one spouse taking a lot of perceived "me time" can start to wear pretty thin on the other.
Thad and I are taking on this IRONMAN as a family, and for me, it's the only way to go. This time is a special season of our life where he is tackling something that only a small percentage do. And it has inspired him to make lifelong changes for the betterment of his own health and, ultimately, our family.
So get creative with time management, make plans together and have fun with all the craziness. The payoff on race day will be that much sweeter. Let's all help each other avoid that awful "IronWiddow" status by sharing our ideas for how to stay connected during training with each other.
Until next time,
Annie Clements Beaty, "IronWife"

Staying fabulous can take quite a lot of work sometimes. It might seem like staying gorgeous can take quite a lot of time commitment and it's often the case. Hairstyling is one particular area where investing time is often required, which is why, especially in the morning, we might be tempted to stay in an almost permanent loose hairstyle/ponytail routine. However, looking polished isn't as much work as it might seem at times. A little creativity can certainly save the day and a few variations can make an ordinary look complex and beautiful....

Former Ozzy Guitarist Joe Holmes Returns With New Band
Holmes was Ozzy's guitarist during for a five-year period, beginning when Zakk Wylde departed the band in the mid '90s and ending when Zakk returned. At the beginning of Holmes's time in Ozzy's band, Zakk was on the verge of becoming Slash's co-guitarist in Guns N' Roses. You can read Zakk's side of that story here.
As for Holmes, he's had quite the interesting career. Aside from several Ozzfest tours with Ozzy - and participation in the writing sessions for the Ozzman's Down To Earth album - he played with Lizzy Borden and also replaced Jason Becker in David Lee Roth's band for the A Little Ain't Enough tour, when Becker had to bow out due to his diagnosis with ALS.
Holmes's Ozzy link stretches back to his guitar teacher: one Mr. Randy Rhoads. "Not only was Randy my favorite guitar player, but he was also a really cool person," Holmes told Guitar School magazine's Jeff Kitts in 1995. "I'm not into idolizing people, but Randy was the perfect guy to look up to and want to take after." So what was it like to learn from one of metal's guiding lights? "Learning from Randy was an incredible experience," Holmes said. "At one time I stopped going to school so I could stay home all day and practice what he taught me." more on this story

Lawyer admits guilt in $4 million scam
BRIDGEPORT--Joseph Haddad built a legal career around settling personal injury cases.
Now some of those cases could land him in federal prison for as much as five years.
Haddad, who had law offices in Trumbull and then Bridgeport, is the seventh person to plead guilty in an undercover FBI probe dubbed Operation Running Man targeting fraudulent personal injury claims paid out by insurance firms.
So far Dr. James Marshall, who operates Immediate Medical Care in Monroe; Francisco Carbone, a former Bridgeport doctor; and four chiropractors including Marc Kirshner, who owned and operated clinics in Bridgeport and Stamford as well as Midas Medical, LLC, a diagnostic testing company. The other chiropractors who pleaded guilty are George DeCarvalho, Jennifer Lynne and Jennifer Netter. All are awaiting sentencing.
Haddad, 65, appeared before U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill late Friday and admitted guilt to charges of conspiring to commit mail fraud and mail fraud, both of which carry maximum 20-year terms.
However Haddad agreed not to appeal any sentence of 63 months or less imposed by Underhill on March 28.
That agreement is part of a plea-bargain deal worked out by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christopher Schmeisser and David Sheldon and Haddad's lawyer, John R. Williams. Haddad also agreed to make restitution of $1,758,368 to the various insurance companies like Nationwide, Travelers, Progressive, Metropolitan and Esurance who paid out on fraudulent medical claims.
The FBI investigation, coordinated by Special Agent Daniel Curtin, infiltrated the conspiracy by sending an undercover agent to Haddad. The agent claimed he was injured in a car accident.
Documents filed in federal court claim Haddad paid cash to individuals to find clients involved in motor vehicle accidents.
Often those runners would review and obtain accident records from local police departments, particularly Bridgeport.
After meeting with the clients Haddad often would recommend they visit Francisco Carbone, a former doctor with a prior federal health fraud conviction and whose license was pulled by the state. Carbone fabricated injuries in reports and provided permanent disability ratings often without even examining clients.
On occasion he would send clients with instructions to Marshall, who would write prescriptions for narcotic pain killers, often without examining the patient.
Haddad told the undercover agent to request stronger medication "even if you don't take it."
His clients also would obtain at least six months of treatment from the chiropractors.
The undercover agent was told by Haddad this time frame was necessary "because that way I got a good quality case and they can't say you didn't treat long enough."
Chiropractors who sent a patient for a nerve conductivity test provided by Kirschner's Midas Medical would get a kickback on the $2,000 bill, according to the FBI.
The prosecution claims Kirschner's Midas Medical paid Haddad at least $100,000 in finders' fees.

small-batch coffee roasting
We wanted a coffee roaster that would give us enough capacity to be efficient while be small enough to take advantage of coffee beans that were not widely available. Roasting small batches with a higher frequency also ensures freshness. We sell directly to individuals and partner with some community businesses to distribute and serve Rad coffee.
Since installing our roaster in our shop in Kent, WA, we have been having way too much fun creating roasts and combinations of beans. We have loved getting to know customers through coffee tastings around town. We are excited about the community partnerships we have been developing in the area and building our base of Rad Roasting coffee drinkers.
Rad Roasting wants to provide high quality product and superior customer service at a price that is good for everyone.
One great aspect of such a small operation is being able to meet clients' needs in creative ways. Rad Roasting has worked with folks in ways ranging from providing beans to organizations for their fundraising activities to creating customized mini-bags of coffee for wedding favors.
Please contact us if you have any questions or if you have a need Rad Roasting might be able to fill.
this is matt
Matt Chipps grew up southeast of Seattle in Covington, WA and attended Kentwood High School. He started working in the coffee industry as a barista in 2000 to help pay his tuition to Washington State University (Go Cougs!).
After graduating, Matt remained in the coffee business and became the store manager at The Spotted Cow in Bothell, WA. It was at the Cow, in 2005, where he learned the art of coffee roasting.
In sojourns back to Kent, WA and its surrounding areas, Matt noticed a deficit in the availability of local, high quality coffee. In 2011, Matt and his father, Geoff, decided to join forces to address this problem. Rad Roasting Coffee Company was born to bring small-batch, artisan-roasted coffee to the good people and businesses nearby Kent, WA and wherever fresh coffee is needed. You can find Rad Roasting at these awesome establishments or you can have them mailed right to you in the bright blue bag.
Matt's favorite roast is Aviator, served piping hot in his favorite mug. When he is not roasting coffee, Matt can be found adoring his puppy, Waffles, playing soccer or volleyball, or considering surf lessons.
Geoff loves iced coffee (cold-brewed Carmen Sandiego beans), with a touch of cream and a little sweetener. When he is not talking about or drinking coffee, you are likely to find Geoff kayaking, admiring his granddaughter, perusing yard sales, or grilling on his deck.
Customer service at Rad Roasting cannot be rivaled. Stop by the shop to see, hear and smell the roaster in action, chat with Matt and Geoff, and try some brews. If you are not nearby, order some beans to be delivered to your door,

Hipsters are making beer more expensive, or at least that's the argument that's been popular the last couple of days. But the brewing industry -- run by enormous multinational conglomerates -- has been planning price hikes for years.
First appearing in the New York Daily News, the quote that launched a thousand Facebook shares was from Chuck Ellis, head of a research group called Restaurant Sciences that looks at trends in the restaurant industry:
"I believe the single biggest driver in sub-premium beer price increases is indeed specifically PBR. It has become quite fashionable."
Ellis was referring to the findings of a recent study conducted by his company. The study looked at beer prices in 500 restaurants and bars throughout New York City and found that, while all beer prices had increased over the last six months, the price increase of "sub-premium" beers like Keystone, Natural Light and Pabst Blue Ribbon far outpaced the other product segments.
Nationally, these bargain brands increased in price by nearly 7%, and in New York the increase was nearly 10%. The connection was made that New York's large population of nouveau bohemians had adopted PBR as its ironic brew of choice, which led to an increase in sales -- which led to an increase in price. And since "the hipsters" are easy targets, they got scapegoated.
The breweries themselves are a far more probable cause of the increase on sub-premium beer prices. The market share and profit margins of the multinational conglomerates that brew sub-premium beer -- which actually invented the whole category -- have been shrinking for years. When the economy tanked and the customers of the big beer brands felt the pinch, many moved away from the "premium" brands like Bud Light, Coors and Miller to the lower-cost sub-premiums.
Sub-premium brands have much thinner profit margins, and the breweries have been trying to move people back into the higher-margin brands for years. An article in Advertising Age from April 2011 about the disparity in cost between tiers says, "Executives can cope with the volume losses -- as long as they move consumers into their own premium brands. Anheuser-Busch has been especially aggressive, making it a goal to reduce the price gap between its subpremium and premium brands to 15%, down from the historical average of 25%." These price shifts don't occur overnight, and the effect is finally being noticed at retail.
Perhaps the customers who downshifted into a sub-premium brand during the recession have realized that the beer tastes pretty much the same as their old "premium" favorites and, being now more penny-wise, decided not to pay extra for a different label. Perhaps the craft beer revolution is finally starting to hit the big brewers' bottom lines and they are getting more serious about recouping that lost revenue.
If the basis of the argument for PBR's price increase is that the beer is popular with hipsters and they are driving the price up, then why not blame college students for the price increase? 2012 saw a record number of students enrolled in post-secondary education. They love PBR too.

text: It's still true. Those issues boil down to individual state bar examiner requirements. For example, some states allow attorneys to pass the bar who have a felony conviction, others do not. Some don't mention undergraduate requirements others do. Some states focus on financials, others have lower requirements. The National Bar Examiners web site has a huge chart breaking down individual state requirements. Texas, for example, does not allow any felony convictions, but Delaware doesn't mention felonies: they just say all issues are considered as a whole. It would sooooo suck to take and pass the bar in a state and then not be admitted because you filed bankruptcy 20 years ago or something.

Sándor Márai keeps getting younger. Twelve years after he committed suicide, in 1989, at the age of eighty-nine, Knopf published the first American edition of his novel "Embers," which had originally appeared in Hungary when he was forty-two. That launched Márai's career in this country. Three years later came "Casanova in Bolzano," written when he was forty. Now, courtesy of George Szirtes, we have the first English translation of "The Rebels" (Knopf; $24.95), Márai's fourth novel, published when he was only thirty. It's a darkly comic, war-ravaged coming-of-age tale that displays much of the genius visible in his later works, but it's also funnier and more extravagantly imaginative than those books might have led one to expect. In 1930, of course, Márai had not yet experienced most of the great tragedies that lay in store for his nation and for him.
Márai was born in 1900, in a town in the Hungarian provinces called Kassa, where his father was a lawyer and his mother a schoolteacher, and he came to Budapest as a young man to make a career as a journalist. He succeeded, but art rapidly took precedence: volumes of poetry appeared, then plays, and a first novel when he was twenty-four. By then, the Versailles Treaty had transformed his home town into Košice, Czechoslovakia. War and politics were redrawing the map of Márai's life, and they did not stop until after his death.
He published more than sixty books in his lifetime, almost half of them novels, and from the nineteen-twenties to the nineteen-forties he was considered one of Hungary's leading literary men. As the Hungarian-American scholar Albert Tezla notes in an introduction to a memoir that Márai wrote in 1972, he was often described by critics and by himself as a "middle-class writer." To American ears, it's an odd distinction; our writers are either literary or commercial, but for him class identity was stronger. A character of his seems to be pronouncing an authorial credo when he says, "I am a bourgeois. I am deliberately so." Márai took the label, and the responsibilities that he felt it entailed, very seriously. He considered that his class, at its best, embodied the highest European traditions: liberal democracy, enterprise and creativity, intellectual curiosity, and duty tempered with tolerance. After the First World War, though, he saw his class fail to live up to those ideals, and he blamed its selfish refusal to shape a democracy for Hungary's interwar political troubles, and its slide toward Fascism. The middle-class writer's task now was to write an obituary: "I see the whole [class] disintegrating. Perhaps this is my life's, my writing's sole, true duty: to delineate the course of this disintegration."
He chronicled it from within a disintegrating nation. The Versailles Treaty reduced Hungary's size by two-thirds, and political chaos followed. Order finally took the form of the authoritarian reign of Miklós Horthy, who was proclaimed Regent, although Hungary had no king, and who was still called "Admiral," although Hungary had lost its coast under the treaty. Horthy's regime, which Márai detested, brought Hungary into the Second World War as a lukewarm ally of Nazi Germany, and Márai responded with what he called "internal emigration"—"by turning completely inward, toward my work."
Living under a dismal government, on the wrong side of another world war, Márai found himself preoccupied with the problems of the past, and his fiction from this era—"Casanova in Bolzano" and "Embers"—explored how history is claimed and reinterpreted in people's efforts to determine the future. In "Casanova in Bolzano," set in the seventeen-fifties, the middle-aged Casanova returns to the town where, years earlier, he lost a duel over a young girl. The man who wounded him, the Duke of Parma, is now old and dying, and the girl has become the Duke's wife. In a series of dialogues in Casanova's hotel room, the Duke and the Duchess attempt to determine the meaning of that duel, to contradictory purposes. The Duke wants the Duchess's unqualified devotion; the Duchess wants Casanova to acknowledge her as his one true love. With their happiness at stake, both describe to Casanova a future based on their own understanding of the past, and both try to charm or bully him into seeing events as they do.
Two years later, when "Embers" was published, the moral collapse of Hungary's middle class was patent, and the novel is decidedly more sombre, the future it depicts less malleable. After a long, self-imposed exile, during which he has surrendered his Hungarian citizenship, a man returns to face a childhood friend, a retired general whose wife he tried to steal forty years earlier. She's dead now, and the two old men, with very little future ahead of them, pass a long night in an attempt to settle blame. One of them wants only to see clearly the degree to which he misunderstood his youth and his life; the other, not having won the woman, wants only to thwart his old friend, keeping all secrets and clarity to himself. With little to gain except a peaceful deathbed and old men's pride, the two wrangle over the meaning of what has gone before.
In "Casanova in Bolzano," when the conversations end, the Venetian lover is left alone with his thoughts. "The candles had guttered," Márai writes, "but were still smoking." In the closing pages of "Embers," after the long debate about the past, the old general says, "Look at that, the candles are burned right down." And, indeed, the image provides the book's Hungarian title, "A Gyertyák Csonkig Égnek" ("The Candles Burn Right Down"). In "The Rebels," a dozen years before, a scene is set with the line "A gyertya csonkig égett": "The candle had burned right down. They could see only outlines in the darkness." The image obviously spoke to Márai. By the failing light of a nominally independent Hungary, he wrestled with the question of when things had gone so horribly wrong. For all his efforts to understand, the future arrived noisily in 1944, and his fruitful period of internal emigration came to an end. The Nazis invaded their sluggish partner; rabid Hungarian Fascists dispatched Admiral Horthy, who was a moderate by comparison, to Germany; the Hungarian role in the Holocaust began in earnest; and Márai retreated to the countryside. There he was soon overrun, from the other direction, by the Soviet invasion.
After the German surrender, and a dangerous year spent living in close quarters with the Red Army, he returned to the ruins of his Budapest home, which had been bombed to the foundations. He clambered over his crushed top hat, his candlesticks, his photographs, and salvaged from what had been a six-thousand-volume library a single book, "On the Care of a Middle-Class Dog." Considering his belief that "the arts exist to keep us from falling into ruin," it must have required great courage to go back to writing.
Márai was able to publish for a while longer, as he watched the Hungarian Communists, with Soviet backing and the acquiescence of many other writers, seize power. When he realized that he would no longer be able to emigrate into his work—that he would not even be allowed to keep a dignified silence in the face of totalitarian oppression—he left his homeland, for the last time, in the summer of 1948. After sojourns in Switzerland and Italy, he came to the United States, living in New York and then settling in San Diego when he was seventy-nine. Even after Hungarian liberalization, in the nineteen-seventies, he refused to visit his homeland or allow his books to be published there unless two unlikely demands were met: that the Soviet occupation end and free elections be held. In 1989, having lost his wife, his adopted son, his sister, and his brothers, he declared himself "a thoughtless guest who has overstayed his welcome." But death did not come quickly enough. "I am beginning to lose my patience," he said. Within a year of his suicide, the Soviets were withdrawing, and the Hungarians had held free elections.
Rewind to May, 1918. The First World War is coming to a bad end, and a middle class still exists in provincial Austria-Hungary. That is the setting of "The Rebels," a novel about young men who, coming of age as their world is destroyed, confuse growing up with dying, adulthood with war.
The Great War has another six months to run, but in an unnamed and almost completely empty town its toll is painfully clear. "The town dozes among mountains," Márai writes, but, if he raises expectations of a romantic, postcard Europe, it's only to dash them: "A good spring moon tends to magnify whatever it illuminates. It would be very hard to give a proper scientific explanation for this. All objects—houses, public squares, whole towns—puff themselves up with spring moonlight, swelling and bloating like corpses in the river. The river dragged such corpses through town at a run." The brief panorama of the village includes the butcher shop ("great swelling animal carcasses hanging on hooks…a calf's head, its eyes closed, black blood dripping from its nostrils") and a lawyer's study ("Several thousand butterflies lined the walls in glass cases.…He carried the cyanide bottle and the butterfly net around with him everywhere.…He had lost two sons in the war"). Trains still arrive at the pretty little station nestled amid snowcapped mountains, but the passengers are often the war dead. Buckets of lime and bored sanitation workers await them.
Even within this desolation, however, youth persists. Ábel and three of his friends have just finished their high-school examinations. They look out onto the adult world they are about to join, and are disgusted. The four young men face an unpleasant prospect: "In six weeks' time they would be in uniform and, with one great effort, even if the training dragged on, they'd be out at the front by the end of August."
Though their fathers either are at war or have been damaged by it, the boys live in terror of them: "There was no limit to the power of fathers." Béla, the dim son of the rich grocer, "was as terrified of his father as simple people are of natural disasters." Childhood had meant being beaten for "not holding a knife and fork in the proper manner," and wetting one's pants in fear. Ernő's father, a cobbler who has been broken, body and soul, by the war, served as a hangman at the front and is proud that his colonel allowed him to execute officers, not just common soldiers. Back home, he torments his son in fits of shell-shocked insanity. Márai describes each boy's life in terms of smells: "Tibor's house was discreetly scented with lavender, the smell of genteel poverty and sickness, combined with the rather more combative smell of cured leather." Tibor, the golden child of the town's colonel, was in second grade when his father horse-whipped him for being unable to remove the man's riding boots.
Joined by Tibor's brother, who has returned from the front with only one arm (throughout the book, he is referred to as "the one-armed one"), the young men rebel. They drink and gamble, of course, play mind games with one another and confound their teachers, make up stories, smoke and mope. They steal for no real purpose, and order bespoke suits in lunatic designs—costumes they wear only in one another's company, in a secret hideout in a crumbling spa hotel called the Peculiar.
The boys' early escapades have a nearly slapstick quality, which may surprise admirers of the stern "Embers," with its gripping speeches about duty and friendship, but "The Rebels" gives a child's perspective on the virtues that old men explore in the later book. The boys, with their outlandish clothes and useless stolen goods, pay ironic tribute to the values of their fathers; hard work and daring are cherished, as long as they're pointless. Béla, Tibor, and the rest will toil like madmen to learn a few phrases of Swedish, but they refuse to do their Tacitus homework. They hope that in their hideout they will find a place where "real life could finally begin," a life that "wasn't like their fathers' lives."
They come to the attention of a travelling actor, a mincing, middle-aged outsider more than willing to hang around with a group of teen-agers who admire his eccentricity and apparent experience, "lurking with them in a befitting manner." The actor leads them into disgrace, and, in short order, their games are over. The boys are trapped, betrayed by the adult world but also by one of their own, caught in the teeth of a con game. While there's some suspense after this (Will they find their way to safety? Will their families protect them? How much of their misbehavior will come to light?), plot, as in "Embers" and "Casanova in Bolzano," is secondary to the exploration of character.
As a coming-of-age tale, "The Rebels," for all its black humor, exists within a genre that has considerable currency in literature and cinema. Hollywood has had no shortage of poor kids driven mad by envy of their wealthier pals, causeless rebels, anxious adolescents wrestling with sexuality—no shortage, indeed, of youthful games that bleed into adult betrayals. Like other rebels, Márai's characters struggle to understand love and friendship and the fuzzy line between the two. ("I love you.…Maybe it is because you are beautiful," Ábel tells Tibor. "You're not, if I may say, particularly bright.") They must untangle loyalty, duty, individuality, the divisive power of class and wealth. Ábel shows signs of eventually becoming a writer. "Beware of such," the itinerant actor says of writers who hold themselves back from the action, the better to observe it. "Sin begins the moment you leave the circle and watch from outside."
The artist, writer, and actor as corrupting or otherwise morally dubious influences is a notion that turns up in both of those later Márai novels, and also in the works of his elders. There's just something about 1918; the book's pervasive moral and physical sickness (we get characters who are bedridden, crippled, shell-shocked, insane, mass-murdering) may remind you of other novels from the twenties and thirties—Thomas Mann's "The Magic Mountain," or Joseph Roth's "The Radetzky March," or Robert Musil's "The Man Without Qualities." That's neither entirely coincidental nor to Márai's discredit; he breathed the same air as those great writers. By 1942, with "Embers," Márai had achieved an individual style. That novel—with its long, swirling monologues, its psychological depth, its examination of the layered meanings in a single, long-ago betrayal—is unique, inimitable. Back in 1930, though, he was still writing books that were merely very, very good.
But even when dealing with familiar motifs or inherited plots, he proves his power. In "The Rebels," stock characters—the invalid mother, the poor boy with ambition, the fruity actor, the wounded veteran back from the front, the merciless Jewish pawnbroker—pulse with life. And the language is often breathtaking: "He danced on half-naked. His heavy breasts shook with each maneuver and his bare back shimmered like pale bacon in the spotlight." Márai's wit is displayed on every page, and he can shift smoothly from vicious irony to heartbreak: Tibor "represented the two-armed branch of the Prockauer family.…The one-armed one tended to lie in bed during storms with a pillow over his head."
Unlike other writers who were forced into exile by the horrors of twentieth-century Europe, Sándor Márai did not oversee the creation of an English-language persona, and that is part of the reason he died in obscurity. During the four decades in which he lived away from his homeland, he wrote only in Hungarian. Perhaps he was too old—he left Hungary when he was forty-eight—or perhaps he was too attached to his native tongue. In his memoir, he describes his last-minute hesitation before escaping from Hungary as the Communists tightened their grip: "I didn't want to leave my native land without taking something with me for the long journey. Something that I would never again find elsewhere." His keepsake may strike one as odd:
I did nothing else but read.…I didn't open books by foreign writers. I read the works of Hungarian writers. But not the…classics…not even the great generation of our own century…but those of the less noted.…I kept sampling this pure, powerful prose like someone who has stumbled on a buried cellar where he discovers a barrel filled with an old vintage.…I began to search the works of "the second set" of Hungarian writers for what I wanted to take with me, because I knew I would never find any trace of them abroad.
When the borders were closing, and the secret police were circling, and the publishing house was telling him to stop writing, and his income had trickled to nothing, and his friends were leaving or being arrested, he spent an extra year in libraries, gulping down second-tier Hungarian literature, like a camel preparing for a desert crossing.
He may have despaired that he would ever reach the other side. In the event, his suicide, the same year Hungary cast off Communism, marked the beginning of his restoration in his homeland. He is now read widely and taught in schools, and he received, posthumously, Hungary's highest literary prize. (A statue of him, however, stands in Košice, now Czech-less Slovakia, implying that he is not so much a Hungarian writer as an Austro-Hungarian writer.) Meanwhile, American readers must approach him through the imperfect correspondence of translation. "Embers" had a layover in German before arriving in English. The very accomplished Anglo-Hungarian poet George Szirtes, who also translated "Casanova in Bolzano," renders "The Rebels" in luminous prose, albeit with something of a British accent. (Horsemen wear "breeches" and brothel guests pay a "tariff"; one character uses the term "haroosh"—it means, research reveals, a rumpus or a witch hunt, more or less—which seems to be slang used in the British bureaucracy of colonial India.) In the meantime, there are still two dozen novels in Márai's native language, bristling with ű, ő, and sz, that were left behind when the great middle-class writer rode the train across the border. "We left the bridge and traveled on in the starstudded night toward the world where no one was waiting for us," Márai wrote of his departure. "In this moment—for the first time in my life—I really felt fear." After two world wars, after the destruction of his home and his career, after his country's colonization by Russia, fear gripped him only as he left the past behind, and faced—like so many of his characters—an uncertain future by a dim light. ♦
