With power still out in some places, quake-damaged older buildings and closed streets, tourism officials recommended that visitors stay away from downtown Napa Sunday, and possibly Monday.
But wine tourists shouldn't put the rest of their Napa Valley excursions on hold, as restaurants, shops and wineries north of Napa — including in Yountville, St. Helena and Calistoga — experienced little damage, according to a statement from Tom Fuller, a spokesman for Visit Napa Valley, one of the region's tourism associations.
Several historic buildings in downtown Napa sustained significant damage, including the Goodman Library, the Alexandria building and the historic county courthouse, with brick facades crumbling into the street.
"Most of the impact of the earthquake centered in around the city of Napa and points south where the epicenter ways," Fuller said. The five-story, 41-room Andaz hotel on First Street in downtown Napa was immediately evacuated following the quake at 3:20 a.m.
Staff at the Meritage Resort and Spa, five miles outside town, were struggling to accommodate Andaz guests, said Kyle Munsey, the venue's manager. The Meritage, which was 100-percent booked Saturday night, sustained little damage with some broken glasses and wine bottles. However, guests nerves were a bit rattled.
Fuller has been told structural damage wasn't a challenge for most restaurants, shops and wineries in and around Napa. Businesses in downtown Napa were have been closed thus far today due to power outages, as well as the need for staff to clean up fallen items, tables, or broken debris.
"There are some areas blocked off, and no one is walking around," said Fuller, a Napa restaurant who has also been without power since the quake. "Most of the downtown area is without power. There are areas blocked off because of the structural damage to some buildings. We won't see any activity in Napa today, but maybe tomorrow things will start to stabilize."
It was too early to assess Sunday what economic impact the earthquake will have on the tourism business in and around Napa. "We are in emergency operations mode at the moment and won't know today," said Jennifer LaLiberte, the city's economic development manager, in a brief email early Sunday morning.
Fuller said anyone planning a visit to the valley in the next day or two, even if they are heading north of Napa should still call their destination to make sure they are open, because some wineries or restaurants may be doing cleanup were affected by scattered power outages.

Atlas Copco has raised the bar in the field of telematics with its new machine monitoring system, Certiq. The system provides real-time data, helping equipment owners and operators to ensure that their machines always perform to the best of their ability.
Atlas Copco's new machine monitoring system, Certiq, is now a feature on the company's construction and mining equipment. The Certiq system, which is based on wireless data transmission, or telematics, allows owners and operators of equipment such as surface or underground drill rigs to monitor the performance of their machines at any time and from any location. With this real-time data at their fingertips, equipment owners and operators are empowered to optimize their machines to achieve the highest possible productivity and profitability. The Certiq software gathers and records infinite amounts of data while the machines are in operation. This information is then presented in easy-to-read graphics on a dedicated web portal. Users simply access the portal with a unique login to monitor a single machine or an entire fleet.
The system tells users how a machine is currently being used, or has been used over time as well as machine availability rates, service requirements and much more. In addition, the system will automatically generate performance reports and forward them to the machine owner/operator's email inbox. This data processing and automatic reporting functionality enables managers to stay on top of developments at a particular project. It also helps them decide if, and when, operators need extra training to improve their machine handling skills. Atlas Copco pioneered remote machine monitoring with the launch of its satellite-based system, ProCom, in 2003 but the Certiq system has been made infinitely more advanced to meet high demands for data analysis together with simplified access.
" Sitting around waiting for information from a machine operator or from the next maintenance visit is a thing of the past. With detailed knowledge of all operations, managers can now clearly identify production bottlenecks, maximize the running time of the equipment and track alerts and interruptions. All this helps to avoid unforeseen production stoppages in a way that simply wasn't possible before. "
Certiq comes in two versions – basic and professional. The basic version provides a limited range of data such as engine hours, drill hours, number of alarms and location. The professional version provides a complete range of data and functions including a drillmeter-per-hour calculator, report generator and service handling. It also lists alarms, sends text message alerts to mobile phones and Excel production reports to owners and operators via email.
For more information please contact:

Bar Rafaeli, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl and star of that DISGUSTING GoDaddy.com Super Bowl commercial, was recently spotted shopping on Robertson Boulevard in LA, carrying a puffed lambskin Chanel Coco Cocoon Satchel. This bag has been retired by Chanel, but since it's basically the designer bag equivalent of a puffy ski vest, I can't help thinking that maybe that's a good thing. (Though I'm certain puffy ski vests will have their day once again, and subsequently, the Cocoon Satchel will get a nice reissue.)
Of all the luxury leathers out there, I find "puffed lambskin" to be one of the most curious, mainly because it sort of sounds like the wearable biproduct of a kebab stand. But if it's good enough for Bar Rafaeli, it's probably good enough for the rest of us, right? (I'll just continue to try to avoid thinking of helium-inflated baby lambs when I touch it.)
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!

All living tissue needs oxygen to survive.
Without oxygen, the cells of the body quickly die. Unfortunately, the excesses of living and often injury can compromise the body's ability to transport oxygen. This can be due to clogged arteries (Atherosclerosis), scarred blood vessels, which occurs with Radiation Injury, swelling due to Necrotizing Infections, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, vascular obstruction seen in Diving Accidents or due to injury such as Crush Injuries or Frostbite.
Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO2) uses a couple of simple laws of physics and chemistry to provide huge amounts of oxygen to oxygen starved tissue. By pressurizing the environment, and the gas that we breathe, we can pack the oxygen molecules tighter together, increasing the amount of oxygen we inhale with every breath. The red blood cells, which usually carry most of the oxygen in the blood, are quickly filled and the extra oxygen is dissolved directly in the plasma, the liquid portion of the blood. How much extra? Breathing air at sea level, you might have about 90 mmHg of oxygen in your blood. HBO2 can increase that by as much as 15-20 times! So even though a limited amount of blood gets through to the oxygen starved tissue, that which does is chocked full of oxygen, which the tissue greatly needs. Magic? Nope, just physics.
The Chamber of Life
The three cylindrical pressure chambers measure eight feet across and are linked in an L-shape. Two are equipped to treat critically ill patients and together can accommodate up to 18 patients and six clinical staff. The third chamber links the two patient treatment chambers and allows staff and equipment access without affecting treatments in progress. A dedicated group of physicians, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists and technicians provide constant hands-on care. Outside, at a wide panel of gauges, technicians trained in hyperbaric medicine, control the chamber's environment, increasing the atmospheric pressure until it is more than double the outside pressure. Inside, patients are attended to throughout their treatment by our hyperbaric staff. By providing patient care in the chamber we are uniquely equipped to treat the most sick and critically ill patients. Our facility delivers between 3000 and 4000 patient treatments each year.

It feels like the best day ever in North Korea and the worst day ever in South Korea after Pyongyang shocked the world by launching a rocket 1600 miles.
The successful rocket launch was celebrated across the North — with festivities carefully staged by the dictator for the local AP bureau.
Meanwhile in the South they're burning effigies of Kim Jong-un in wild protests.

text: Just a quick analysis of what the Seahawks did yesterday seeing that they lost to a pretty bad 49ers team on the road 33-17. The Seahawks looked really bad in this game and have some serious issues at QB. Tavaris Jackson didnot look very good at all for the Seahawks and Marshawn Lynch didnt really run well at all either. This is absolutely positively the best team that could be coming in here this weekend for the Steelers to tee off on and take their frustrations out on. Seattle historically has been terrible traveling out to the East Coast for early 1 o clock games. While I am not taking any game for granted especially after what happened yesterday in Baltimore if the Steelers dont beat the Seahawks by at least 2 TD's at Heinz Field on Sunday Ill be shocked. There is just no way that I see right now Seattle coming in here and winning this game Sunday with as pissed off as the Steelers will be after this loss in Baltimore;plus, the fact that they are just not a very good football team to begin with. I expect the Steelers to bounce back big this week and look for them to win this game against Seattle something like 28-10. What do you guys think??

"A Different Take On Sherman & Browner" http://www.hawkblogger.com/
Simply superb article by Hawkblogger (and the follow up comment as well about the hypocrisy of fans moralizing about PEDs while expecting athletes to overuse painkillers).
Always a great place for level-headed kool-aid free analysis, but in particular the last paragraph of this article made some very reassuring points, like: "Fans should just keep in mind that Carroll has never needed top-flight talent at corner to field a great defense." Hopefully this is pointing out something some haven't seen yet. Good stuff.

According to ProFootballTalk.com,
"Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch was observed swerving through traffic and nearly hitting two different vehicles before he was finally pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence before 4 a.m. on Saturday.
The California Highway Patrol says Lynch was driving a Ford Econoline van and had two near collisions with two other vehicles. The arresting officer said Lynch showed "objective signs of intoxication" and failed field sobriety tests. He later submitted to a blood test that showed his blood-alcohol level above the legal limit of .08.
This isn't the first time Lynch has driven dangerously. In 2008 he hit a pedestrian outside a bar, then drove off.
Lynch is scheduled for a preliminary court appearance on August 14. As a repeat violator of the NFL's personal-conduct policy, he's likely facing league discipline as well. Following his last run-in with the law, a 2009 guilty plea to a misdemeanor weapons charge, he was suspended for three games."

Briarjb needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 94 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
Robin & Rose
We are launching an online boutique specializing in vintage and burlesque inspired clothing and accessories.
Robin & Rose will offer retro styled fashions for any occasion, from the casual, to the corporate and from the bedroom, to the burlesque stage. The boutique has a strong inclusive philosophy, welcoming customers from the petite to the plus size.
Our target audience is predominantly female, aged 25 to 35. Women with a unique sense of style, who have moved on from trend based fashions and want a more mature and classic image without surrendering their sex appeal or individual flair.
The boutique will be of special interest to women involved with the reviving art of burlesque dancing and to women involved in the hot rod and rockabilly scene and those who consider themselves 'alternative'.
We are looking for a logo for use on our (yet to be created) website and on printed brochures/leaflets. We also intend to produce a T-shirt featuring the logo to promote the website.
It should contain the words "Robin & Rose" and possibly incorporate the byline "Put it on - Take it off". You may choose to incorporate the image of a Robin Red Breast and Rose/s into the logo. My name is Briar, which is a type of wild rose so it would be meaningful if the logo featured this style of rose (Type 'Briar Rose' into Google images for visual examples.)
Some other images you might like to Google for inspiration include; Katy Keene paper doll, Sailor Jerry.com, Bill Wenzel, Elvgren, Vaudeville and Chinese painting
The style of the logo should have a vintage feel. The logo should be feminine, risqué, cute and a little bit quirky.
Colours – We would like to steer clear of the baby pink / black colour combination used by many of our competitors. The colours we favour are bright pink, coral red and aqua green. These colours are a guide only. We would like to see a logo that is bright & colourful, but with the ability to reproduce in two colours without losing too much of the visual clarity of the logo.
Please, no stock images or clip art. Final files in Illustrator and .jpg formats.
Thank you & have fun!

Cyprus Signs Deal Improving Russian Loan Terms
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Bailed-out Cyprus says it has signed a deal improving the terms of a 2.5 billion euro ($3.32 billion) loan it received from Russia in 2011.
The Cyprus Finance Ministry said Thursday that the revised loan cuts the annual interest rate from 4.5 to 2.5 percent.
Repayment has now been expanded over eight installments between 2018 and 2021 instead of a lump sum due in 2016, easing the country's public debt burden and saving it 160 million euros ($212.64 million).
Cyprus in March agreed a bailout deal in March with its eurozone partners and the International Monetary Fund that forced huge losses on savings over 100,000 euros in the country's two largest banks in exchange for a 10 billion euro ($13.29 billion) loan.

|Fix your Mac & give your slow internet a boost
|no comments
Ø Internet, its usage and benefits
We all use computers and we can't live without internet. The statement is true for most of the young generation. Internet is a global hit, no matter where you go or where you are from. Some use it for enjoyment, others earn their livelihood online. Whether you have to search for relevant material on your term paper or you have to find books, you no longer need a tangible library. The uses of internet are countless.
Ø Internet dependency
There is a downside to it as well. Being so extensively dependent on something makes you vulnerable. It comes as a revelation the moment you start having trouble with your internet connection.
Ø The perfect machines and the worst nightmare
When one talks about perfect machines and operating systems, it is impossible to keep Macintosh out of the picture. Even these extraordinary operating systems are not free from the slow internet Mac problem. There have been numerous complaints from Mac-users about their browsers running too slow.
Ø Faulty hardware could not be the problem
When your browser starts taking too much time to load pages, it is usually a warning bell for you. Since we are talking about Macs, the possibility of faulty hardware could easily be ruled out. The Mac with its features and specs is the perfect hard-wired system you would find anywhere. I doubt if even alien technology could beat that.
Ø Possibility of slow DNS lookups
A slow internet connection could also signify a problem with your DNS. Since Apple has somewhat changed how DNS lookups operate it could lead to inefficiency but that is a big IF.
Ø Mackeeper could be the solution
Most of the times, it is other things that are clogging up you Mac. "Slow internet Mac" is a very common problem these days. There is a new application by the name of Mackeeper and it does brilliant things for a Mac.
First of all it claims to be the solution for the problem of slow internet Mac. The condition, however, remains that your DNS lookups are not slow. Apart form slow DNS lookups it could take care of almost all the problems that are responsible for making your Mac slow.
Ø What can Mackeeper do for you?
It is a utility application. Works as 911 for your Mac, the producers claim. It brings along 16 applications in one bundle software. It is also regarded as an-award winning application in Apple communities.
The application along with its tools performs a number of functions to enhance your system's performance.
ü Cleans up junk and unnecessary data from your drives
ü Gives you free space to work with as a result giving it a boost
ü Keeps you protected from hidden threats and in turn builds a great defense
ü Takes care of all your privacy needs by curtailing virtual intruders
All in all it optimizes your Mac's performance thus providing you the solution to slow internet Mac problem if macbook running slow .

Argonne researcher wins 2009 U.S. Particle Accelerator School Prize
|(Nanowerk News) U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory researcher John W. Lewellen was recently named a recipient of the U.S. Particle Accelerator School (USPAS) Prize in Accelerator Physics and Technology. He will receive the award at the 2009 Particle Accelerator Conference in Vancouver, Canada, in May.
|The USPAS prize honors individuals by recognizing their outstanding achievements over the full range of accelerator physics and technology. The prizes are awarded on a competitive basis without bias to race, sex or nationality. Two USPAS achievement prizes are awarded every two years; one of the prizes will be awarded to a young scientist under 45 years of age. He will receive a certificate of merit and a cash award of $3,000.
|Lewellen graduated in 1991 from Case Western Reserve University with a B.S. degree in physics and a minor in the history of science and technology. He received his Ph.D. in applied physics from Stanford University in 1997.
|After graduating, Lewellen became a staff scientist at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne. There, he worked on the Low-Energy Undulator Test Line self-amplified spontaneous emission free-electron laser, the first SASE-FEL to lase and saturate in the visible region and with demonstrated wavelength tuning range of 130-660 nm. His other work at the APS has included development of novel, high-brightness electron beam sources and variable-period undulator technology, and has led to numerous publications and three patents. While at the APS, he served as linac manager and deputy group leader for the accelerator physics group.
|In 2004, Lewellen helped found the Argonne-Office of Naval Research Project Office (now the Argonne-Department of Defense Project Office) to coordinate directed energy-related research between Argonne and the various Department of Defense research organizations.
|Lewellen was granted a joint appointment with Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Ill. Also in 2007, Lewellen accepted a position of Research Associate Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif.
|The U.S. Particle Accelerator School provides educational programs in the field of beams and their associated accelerator technologies not otherwise available to the community of science and technology. We also promote the development and publication of advanced technology textbooks.

Nico Rosberg takes pole position for Monaco GP ahead of Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton
MONACO – Nico Rosberg set the fastest qualifying time at the Monaco Grand Prix on Saturday to secure his third consecutive pole position and a fourth straight for Mercedes.
The German driver finished ahead of teammate Lewis Hamilton. With Monaco's track the hardest to overtake on in Formula One, Mercedes has a chance to clinch its first win of the season on Sunday.
The 27-year-old Rosberg, who has spent much of his life in Monaco, climbed out of the cockpit and clenched both fists.
"Very special for sure, I've grown up here, gone to school here," he said. "The way I race through the tunnel is the way I went to school."
Defending F1 champion Sebastian Vettel starts from third, ahead of Red Bull teammate and last year's winner Mark Webber.
Red Bull were 1-2 with just over one minute remaining in qualifying, but Mercedes again showed it is near-untouchable on one-lap speed, despite tricky weather conditions with the track damp from frequent bursts of rainfall around lunchtime and again early into the afternoon session.
"It was changing so much (that) you have to be on the right tires at the right time. Everything went to plan and the last lap went OK," said Rosberg, who clocked 1 minute, 13.876 seconds. "It definitely could have been easier. The conditions were all over the place, and then it started drizzling again so the lap times got a lot slower."
Rosberg has won one race in his career so far, and his best this season was fourth at the Malaysian GP. He may not have a better chance given how tough it is to overtake in Monaco.
"We know they're quick on one lap," Vettel said. "I don't want that to sound like an excuse. There was more than a tenth (of a second) missing. I think I had that today, but it didn't come together on the last lap. If anyone is to blame, then it's me. The car was very good."
Hamilton was not pleased with his run.
"I've been struggling all weekend and my pace has been slacking. I've struggled with the car and this is the first time that's happened since 2005," said Hamilton, who won the F1 title in 2008. "It's been a difficult weekend, so I'm happy to have been able to lock out the front row for the team. It's been a massive improvement for me."
Red Bull has won the last three Monaco GPs — all from pole — but it was still a good afternoon for Vettel because he finished ahead of his two main rivals. Kimi Raikkonen goes from fifth place while Fernando Alonso starts sixth and the Spaniard needs circumstances to go in his favor if he is to repeat his Spanish GP win from two weeks ago.
Kimi Raikkonen is only four points behind championship leader Vettel, and Alonso cut the deficit to 17 after winning in Barcelona.
"I'm happy there's not a Lotus or Ferrari ahead," Vettel said. "Sitting in third I think is still a good result."
Ferrari driver Felipe Massa goes from the back of the grid. The Brazilian was unable to start qualifying after a crash in the morning's third and final practice session, in which he was unharmed. He would have incurred a five-place grid penalty because Ferrari had to fit a new gearbox following his crash.
Paul di Resta had a tough session, finishing 17th and missing the cut for Q2.
Di Resta's Force India race engineer apologized over the race radio: "That's P17 Paul. I apologize for that. That was a mess," to which the bewildered Brit replied "You're joking?"
Massa, Frenchman Romain Grosjean and German Adrian Sutil all crashed in practice.
In the morning, Massa and Grosjean both crashed at Sainte Devote — where Grosjean had also crashed in Thursday's second practice session.
Massa's impact was considerable as the front-left of his Ferrari took the full force before the car slid around into another barrier.
Sutil lost his Force India on the run up the hill through Massanet, hitting the barriers to his right.

MACON, Ga. (Sept. 30, 2012) – Mercer jumped out to a lead just 1:46 into the game, and overcame an equalizer from Samantha Kron (Paradise Valley, Ariz.) to defeat the ETSU women's soccer team, 3-1, in Atlantic Sun play on Sunday afternoon at Bear Field.
Tess Patton put in the early score for Mercer (8-3-2, 2-0-1 A-Sun), but the lead was erased when Kron launched in a free kick from outside the box to level the score in the 31st minute. Unfortunately for ETSU (8-4-0, 2-2-0 A-Sun), Patricia-Anne Upson put the Bears back on top just before entering halftime, and Danielle Hesse added on a late insurance goal to keep Mercer unbeaten in A-Sun play.
The loss is ETSU's second in a row to the Bears, falling in last year's A-Sun semifinals, 1-0, in double-overtime down in Ft. Myers, Fla. Bear Field has not been very kind to the Lady Bucs either, as ETSU drops to 0-3-1 all-time in road games versus Mercer.
For the game, Mercer won the shout count, 16-13, but gave up a 10-7 advantage to ETSU in the second half. It was the first half in which the Bears did the majority of their damage, scoring two goals on a 9-3 advantage in shots, and outlasting ETSU's barrage through the remainder of the game.
Tess Patton recorded the first official statistic of the day, scoring in the second minute to put Mercer on top early. Danielle Hesse sent a long cross into the penalty area, which Patton headed in for her fourth goal of the year.
"Mercer scored very early on, which made our task harder in what was a very physical game," ETSU head coach Adam Sayers said. "I thought we came into the game more as the half went on, and got the equalizer we deserved."
After fending off six more Mercer shots, the Lady Bucs put in a response off the foot of Kron. The junior defender, who recorded two assists on Friday against Kennesaw State, lined up a free kick from just outside the 18-yard box following a Mercer foul, and drilled in her second goal of the year to level the score in the 31st minute.
ETSU seemed to be imposing itself on the game more, with Lucy Goffe (Birmingham, England) forcing Nikki Atkinson to make one of her two saves in the half, along with Kron sending in another threat from the corner.
With five minutes to go before halftime, Mercer grabbed the lead back. Patton nearly put in her second goal of the game, but put a free kick off the crossbar. The ensuing rebound found Upson, who sent a shot into the back of the net for her first goal of the season.
"Conceding just before half time was a blow.," Sayers added. "We started the second half well, creating several chances and hitting the bar, but Mercer broke and scored a very good goal with 20 minutes left."
Kron was inches from putting in her second equalizer of the day in the second half, hitting the crossbar on one of her team-high four shots. The rebound was cleared out of play.
With 20 minutes to play, Danielle Hesse gave Mercer a stronghold on the game with her third score of the season to put the Bears up by two. Brianna Stampler dumped off a pass to Hesse, who struck from the top of the box to send in the insurance.
"Our team battled well until the end, but we couldn't find a way through," Sayers went on to say, "I think I could have done a better job of preparing the team and making certain adjustments during the game. I certainly take responsibility for that."
The Lady Bucs continue their season-long three-game road trip on Saturday, as they head down to Spartanburg, S.C. to take on USC Upstate at 7 p.m.
ETSU Notes
- Samantha Kron put in her second goal of the year to go along with her four assists. She is third on the team in points with eight.
- ETSU was limited to one goal for the fifth time this year. In all four of their losses, the Lady Bucs have scored just once, with their only win in a one-goal performance coming against Radford.
- Three of ETSU's four losses have come on the road, where it is 3-3 this year compared to 5-1 at home.
- Mercer extends its lead in the all-time series to 6-2-1, and is now 3-0-1 when playing ETSU in Macon.

I no longer pretend that I enjoy smoking cigars, a charade that I perpetrated for a good deal of my life, despite a history of nasal allergies.
The aroma of a cigar shop, however, is still irresistible. When I need my fix, there's no better place than Ybor City, the historic Latin Quarter on the eastern side of downtown Tampa. The assortment of shops, restaurants and bars along Ybor's hub on Seventh Avenue, evokes the mood of the French Quarter in New Orleans.
Depending on the hour, Ybor City's diversions can appeal to a variety of senses: There's the scent of Cuban coffee in the morning, the sight of historic architecture and the sounds of a variety of music that accompany Ybor's night-time party vibe.
The streets were relatively quiet on my recent weekday visit, when a sudden summer rainstorm briefly made window-shopping a challenge. I ducked under an awning and watched a cigar roller at work inside the front window at Nichabana Cigars. The tiny shop on Seventh Avenue is one of six cigar stores that work almost as well as bars as a setting for friendly conversation with strangers.
Ybor also boasts an array of interesting restaurants.
I'm often tempted to sample one of the signature dishes at the Acropolis Greek Taverna (acropolistaverna.com) and would still recommend them. This time, however, I stopped at the iconic Columbia Restaurant (columbiarestaurant.com), the original location of an establishment that has expanded to Celebration, Clearwater Beach, Sarasota and St. Augustine since opening in 1905.
The Columbia's signature 1905 Salad — iceberg lettuce with julienne of baked ham, Swiss cheese, tomato, olives, grated Romano cheese and garlic dressing — is big enough to be a meal. The Columbia's quiet courtyard is a nice spot to relax with a book amid the Spanish architecture.
Burn off the lunch calories with a stroll along Seventh Avenue, where there are plenty of funky shops in the manageable 10-block stretch between 13th and 23th streets.
I browsed "apparel for the brave" at Black & Denim (blackanddenim.com) and vintage T-shirts at Revolve Clothing Exchange (revolvewear.com), but settled for a drink in the shaded courtyard at New World Brewery (newworldbrewery.net) with a few new friends.

Hillsdale College, Mich.,
Apr. 17, 1863.
Capt. T. D. Kimball:-
One year ago we were together in pleasant association. Less than a year since we said "good-bye", hoping for a speedy re-union -- at least I hoped. War, with his cruel arbitrations, has separated us for now. These months have brought unlooked for changes and hardships; yet I rejoice that they have also brought promotion to my friend--a promotion based upon the actual development of the man within him.
Your mother has sent your address with a request -- that I write you. I am happy to do so, as well for the gratification of my own feelings of personal friendship,
from you. My kindest regards to Charlie Walker.
Yrs. truly,
Julia Moore.

Many millions of people using Linkedin are missing out on the fantastic brand building opportunities new Linkedin presents. I say new because after several years of under-investment, Linkedin has gone functionality crazy of late.
Give your Linkedin profile a spring clean today, avoid these ten all-to-common mistakes and start to take the most of the platform as an unbeatable research and business development tool as well as an incredible brand builder.
1. Poor or non existent profile pictures. Who wants to see a faceless profile or worse a company or brand logo. Not me. As with all social media, add a profile picture.
2. Lack of clarity in titles and descriptions. Use keywords that best represent who you are and what stand for do. That little box that tells you how many times you've been looked at – its down to keywords.
3. Lack of focus on achievements and what you add. Too many people fixate on titles when they should be focusing on your impact on sales, brand launches, new initiatives, or improvements in quality, process, training or operations if you are not in a commercial role.
4. Failure to use all available opportunities to promote via the profile page. There are some great links and embed opportunities. Use them. Add your website, a blog, a Twitter account, a Slideshare account.
5. Not having a thought out contact strategy or approach. Are you connected to all the people you've ever worked with rather than the people you want to sell to? Time to rethink who you want to be connected to by researching people using the search function, identifying key companies and seeking opportunities to informally approach them through Groups (see below). And don't let Linkedin send a default invitation request. Tailor it giving a reason to connect – reference to a group, common contact or other common ground.
6. Not enough or over use of the status updates feature. Linkedin status updates containing tweets is one of the most frustrating parts of logging into new Linkedin. If you're not careful a handful of people will take over your feed – luckily they can be hidden without dis-connecting. On the other side, don't be a Linkedin bore. Update once / twice a day with something useful.
7. Not enough or over use of testimonials. These should matter. The best testimonials come from former managers, clients or customers. Asking your peers, team or suppliers to provide references just seems lame. Go for quality over quantity on this one. .
8. Being a lurker not a contributor in Groups. I estimate 1% of a Linkedin group's membership actively engage in discussions within the group. What a missed opportunity. Getting involved in groups of like minded people is the cornerstone of the Linkedin experience. There is a group for almost everything on Linkedin. Search and sign up for one to try it out. There will be discussions taking place that you can add value to today!
9. Not building reputation through Answers. Like groups, this is a great feature to really build your profile as an expert in your field but as it is hidden away in the 'More' tab it is overlooked. Browse the categories and begin to provide feedback and recommendations to questions posed by other Linkedin members, worldwide.
10. Not fully populating your Company Page. This feature has developed in recent months with opportunities to add specific products and services linked to targeted landing pages and your Linkedin member colleagues.
Q: What other mistakes do you see made on Linkedin and how can they be avoided?

Stonington pitches in to help neighbor Westerly with cleanup
Westerly - The Misquamicut Beach landscape is still dominated by large mountains of sand and large yellow equipment, but much progress has been made cleaning up the community in the month since Hurricane Sandy.
On Thursday, public works employees from Stonington helped further the effort, working a full day volunteering their time collecting brush and turning it into wood chips. They'll be back there this morning - three men, a dump truck, a wood chipper and a pickup truck - for another work day.
"We're very appreciative," said Peter Chiaradio, the Westerly superintendent of the Public Works Department. "The towns have a great working relationship, and I feel it starts right at the top with the selectmen and town manager. We've worked together on other projects, like bridge work, so we're familiar."
Also helping in the cleanup were the Rhode Island towns of Lincoln, Johnston and North Providence. But Stonington and Westerly, separated by a state line, have formed a special relationship. It's an offer of free help, too, which the hard-hit Westerly was more than happy to accept.
For Stonington Public Works Director Joe Bragaw, whose department has seen its fair share of cleanup work after the storm, it was an easy decision.
"They had a lot of devastation down by Misquamicut, so we're just trying to help them out," he said. "Even though we're still cleaning up, we knew there was a neighbor in need."
It's a normal work day, but in a different town, for the Stonington crew, which arrived at 7:30 a.m. and worked until 3 p.m., ridding the community's streets of brush, turning it into wood chips and transporting the chips to the Westerly transfer station.
But for Chiaradio, it's an incredible help as he races against a Federal Emergency Management Agency deadline to get work done. After a certain time period, FEMA no longer reimburses the town for Sandy-related work, he said.
"We're plugging away to finish by deadline," Chiaradio said. "It's been nonstop this month."
A contractor assisted the town in clearing the roadways of sand; the entire length of Atlantic Avenue, which once was covered by feet of sand, has been cleared. Private properties are using their own contractors for work, Chiaradio said, but the town continues to remove storm-related debris that residents place curbside.
It's work the Stonington three are used to.
"We've had lots of mutual aid in the last couple years and ongoing communication about who needs what," Bragaw said. "When someone calls, we go."

About Clifford
-Skill Level
-Schedule request.
'Dr. Cliff,' a part-time college/university professor, teacher and tutor with 5 master's and 3 doctoral degrees in a variety of topics: Mathematics, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, Management Information Systems, MBA, Leadership, Education and Administration. He has always used proven educational techniques to instruct undergraduate students, graduate students and school children/teenagers (K-12). In addition, Dr. Cliff is a Certified Tutor by American Tutoring Association and National Tutoring Association (Math); he holds California Teaching Credentials in Math (CSET I,II,III), Busin
Dr. Cliff believes that, although many professors and teachers do an admirable job in the classroom, many students and children do not learn well in traditional institutions. Many students and children don't respond to the assembly line nature of most institutions. He believes that a student's or child's strengths and natural abilities need to be the foundation of learning. Dr. Cliff often warns against a "cookie cutter" approach to educating students, teenagers and children. You or your child is seen as an individual, and natural strengths are identified and built upon. Therefore, individual one-on-one tutoring or help is the key approach to each student who has any challenges difficulties in a given subject.
In today's environment and economic challenges, with shorter budgets for the education, larger classes sizes and pressure of performing well in all kind of standard tests, I often see many students lacking true knowledge and skills in a given subject, since they cannot get individualized attention during the class session. That's where a tutor comes into the picture, not only uncover major "holes" in students' knowledge set but also teach students how to study, how to learn and through proper guidance "fill" those knowledge and skills holes.

About Amadou C.Close
View Full Profile
French is among the most important languages in the world; over 7% of the world's population speak it and it is the third most important language in the business world. Unfortunately, French is notorious for being gratuitously difficult. On the bright side, I have over 7 years of experience with French, I speak it fluently and I teach it up until the intermediate level. I tutor French in a fun and engaging way that captivates my students and has them speaking it in a provisional amount of time. Along with the basics, I also delve into the technicalities of French grammar, spelling and reading. You've come to the right person, as you'll never have to be craven taking your next French test, impressing your French-speaking friend or visiting a francophone country after I 'fragment French'.
About Amadou
As an engineering-inclined individual, I encourage an exemplary study ethic in my students as well as an organized and systematic approach geared towards maximizing student grades/scores. I also bring results by relating to my students by incorporating elements of the things that they like (sports, hobbies, m
Having lived in over 20 countries has also permitted me to maintain my patience, composure and sense of flexibility and open-mindedness when dealing with even the most extreme personalities. I believe that everyone has potential; however potential is worthless unless put in motion. And experts like me take pride in our abilities to give students that push, that jolt of energy that galvanizes them into pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps, allowing them to achieve academic excellence.

During my student teaching experience, I developed and initiated a curriculum sequence on French reading and comprehension.
This collaborative unit involved working with the other teachers within my team.
In my work with the classes, I stressed critical thinking and the incorporation of
culture and science units into the course. The student response was very encouraging, as we had a 100% passing rate for this section. In addition, our team met state curricula guidelines and received numerous positive comments from students' families regarding the class material.

I was a classroom teacher of French for 15 years to students of all levels. Throughout that time I spent many hours working outside of class with individual students and tutored during the summer. Since 2013, I've been tutoring exclusively, becoming familiar with the programs and textbooks used in area schools.
I particularly enjoy helping beginning and intermediate students build a solid foundation in their understanding of the language while acquiring substantial vocabulary and confidence in their general speaking skills. Believe it or not, I like grammar and love to teach it! If it has you stumped, I'd love to help you make some sense out of it.
When I begin working with a student I try as quickly as possible to identify and address the problem areas and suggest helpful study skills. The ultimate goal is that they become confident learners who see and are pleased with their progress. I am very patient.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Illinois' already disastrous financial situation worsened Friday as another credit rating agency downgraded its rating to the worst of any state in the country, blaming lawmakers' ongoing failure to resolve a multibillion-dollar pension crisis.
Standard & Poor's rating service said Friday that the rating on the state's general obligation bonds was downgraded to A- from A. The agency also gave an A- rating to $500 million in general obligation bonds that the state plans to release next week. The agency says the outlook is negative, an indication it could take the unusual step of further downgrading the state if conditions don't improve.
The downgrade is just the latest warning from the New York bond houses about the state's ongoing credit deterioration. It means taxpayers will likely pay a higher interest when the state issues bonds, or borrows money, for big items such as construction projects.
Speaking at a press conference on an unrelated topic Friday, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn said "the pressure is higher than ever" for lawmakers to pass pension reform — something they failed to do during a special legislative session last year and in a lame duck session that ended earlier this month, despite urgent pleas from Quinn and other leaders.
"We've got to put our seatbelts on here and understand the rating agencies won't give us better marks until the legislature passes Senate Bill 1 and gets the job done," Quinn said, referring to a recently proposed pension reform bill. "That's really the message the credit rating agencies are screaming at the top of their voice. I've heard it, and I think the members of the legislature need to hear it as well."
Illinois has a $96 billion unfunded liability in its five state-employee pension funds, due to decades of shorting or skipping its pension payments. To catch up, the state must allocate nearly one-third of its general revenue annually to pensions, putting a squeeze on money for services such as education and health care.
Standard & Poor's analysts said Friday the new rating reflects what the agency sees as the state's "weakened pension-funded ratios" and lack of action on reform measures.
"While legislative action on pension reform could occur during the current legislative session and various bills have been filed, we believe that legislative consensus on reform will be difficult to achieve given the poor track record in the past two years," analysts said.
Moody's Investors Service gave Illinois its worst rating of any state in January 2012. Earlier this month — days after lawmakers left the lame luck session without a pension deal — Fitch Ratings changed Illinois' financial outlook to "negative" from "stable," an indication that a ratings downgrade could be coming.
In its report Friday, Standard & Poors analysts said even if Illinois is able to pass pension legislation soon, the state is likely to face a legal challenge, so it could be years before the budget situation or the unfunded liability improve. That, along with an income tax increase that's scheduled to expire on Jan. 1, 2015, contribute to the state's negative economic outlook.
Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford, a Republican who's indicated he may challenge Quinn in the 2014 race for governor, said lawmakers' inaction "has our great state headed for a fiscal disaster."
"It is beyond irresponsible to let this continue," he said.

Former Navy Seal Donates Liver To Stranger After Seeing Her Facebook Plea
By Shared.com
January 3, 2018
Melinda Ray was suffering from a genetic disease that was quickly destroying her liver. She had been trying to find a donor, but no one was working out. Her husband James told ABC News, "We had just had candidate after candidate being ruled out, and symptoms were progressing. They were progressing fast. The days were getting harder."
She was becoming increasingly desperate, unsure of how she would carry on. The mother of three made one last appeal to her Facebook friends, asking them to consider getting tested to be a match. All of her friends and family passed along her message, until one day a complete stranger saw the post.
Robin Ihnfeldt was friends with Melinda's sister and she heard that Ray was unable to find a donor. She told her husband, Jeff Bramstedt, about Ray's trouble and without hesitating he volunteered his own liver.
The former Navy SEAL's wife said, "He's always been an amazing man. He hears bullets and he runs into these situations."
The doctors warned him that it would be risky. "There's a lot of things that can go wrong, including the risk of dying," Dr. Elizabeth Pomfret said. He had a lot to consider, but it didn't take him long to make his choice...

In a business filled with bravado, Nigel McGuinness surprisingly downplays his part in the Oscar-nominated film The Wrestler.
It's not that he's embarrassed by his role in the Mickey Rourke movie about a professional wrestler looking for one last chance in the spotlight. It's just that the 33-year-old from London, England, hasn't come to grips with the fact there are no small parts in the movie business.
He jokes when he calls it his "blink and you'll miss it moment."
"Just having your name attached to the movie certainly raises your profile, so it does help in that way," said McGuinness, who is the current Ring of Honor World Champion. "People are asking me about it, so it can't be all that bad, can it?"
His scene is near the end of the movie, when Rourke comes in for the final match. Not a big part by any stretch, but being on set gave him the chance to find out what makes the strangely fascinating Rourke tick.
"What people forget is that he was trained as a professional boxer, so coming into the wrestling ring was a bit of a shock to him," McGuinness said. "He told me how he was getting banged up and how he had to get someone to help him up the stairs to his house at the end of the night. So that was quite funny. He's an interesting man."
And in case you're wondering, he has no "inside the ring" information on whether the flip-flopping Rourke will actually take on Winnipeg's Chris Jericho at WWE's WrestleMania this April.
"If you find out, can you let me know?" he asked.
McGuinness, one of about 30 pro wrestlers to appear in the production, said The Wrestler is much like how his life is on the independent wrestling circuit, as his Ring of Honor group has to work that much harder to fill up venues and make a go of it.
He laughs when it's suggested that a parallel can be drawn between the movie business and the professional wrestling business based on the theatrics both industries embrace.
"But with a movie, you have more than one take to get it right," he said. "The scene I was in, we did 30 takes, which took about 45 minutes just for that five of seven seconds of finished product. There's a lot less margin for error in wrestling."
McGuinness will be part of the Canadian Wrestling Elite card at the Maples Community Centre in Winnipeg on Feb. 20.
