KINGSTON, Jamaica - The US drug trial of reggae star Buju Banton is the talk of Jamaica, where islanders are debating his guilt or innocence on street corners, in offices, in letters to the editor and on social networking websites.
KINGSTON, Jamaica - The U.S. drug trial of reggae star Buju Banton is the talk of Jamaica, where islanders are debating his guilt or innocence on street corners, in offices, in letters to the editor and on social networking websites.
Banton, a four-time Grammy nominee who rose from the slums of Kingston to success in the 1990s, was arrested on federal drug charges in December and a Florida jury is deliberating whether he conspired to buy cocaine from an undercover police officer. The 12-person panel reconvenes Monday in Tampa federal court.
In the Jamaican capital, some people are dissecting every detail of Banton's case, a few even comparing him to the late reggae legend Bob Marley.
"I've been following it close because Buju is big in Jamaica, like a Bob Marley. Way I see it, they need to free the man cause they don't have any concrete evidence against him," Charles Barrett, a resident of the capital, said Sunday.
For others the case is more of a curiosity, a media-fed sensation that distracts from weightier news.
His most ardent fans are talking of conspiracy theories - that he was framed by the U.S. government or gay activists who have protested violent, homophobic lyrics from early in Banton's career as a brash dancehall singer.
"We all know it was a government set up. Just because of your beliefs they want to imprison you," wrote a person identified as R. Johnson on a Web page titled "Free Buju Banton."
The husky-voiced Rastafarian singer has long been a star in his homeland with the brash reggae-rap hybrid of dancehall music and, more recently, a traditional reggae sound.
"He's a major, major figure here, so his trial has dominated the media and people's conversations," Jamaican musicologist and disc jockey Bunny Goodison said. "He's been extremely important through the years because he's represented Rastafari and black consciousness in a very focused way."
On Friday, a false story that Banton had been found innocent was broadcast on an island radio station. Tumultuous applause broke out at an elite prep school when the rumor was announced as fact on the public address system. People across Kingston spread the false bulletin on Facebook and Twitter.
"The best illustration of Buju's importance is the broad sympathy for him and the desire for his release," said Carolyn Cooper, a professor of literary and cultural studies at the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies.
Others are far less sympathetic to the 37-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Mark Myrie.
"No matter how the trial turns out, Mr. Myrie has already let down himself and his fans," the Jamaica Observer said in an editorial Sunday.
Banton is charged with conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine and aiding two others in possessing a firearm during the course of cocaine distribution. He faces up to life in prison.
In closing statements Thursday, Banton's attorney argued that an undercover U.S. government informant managed to connect only the two other men, but not Banton, to the conspiracy. Banton's team of lawyers has tried to prove the singer was a victim of entrapment.
The singer testified that he talked a lot about cocaine with a U.S. government informant, but said he was just trying to impress the man, who claimed to have music industry connections.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James Preston argued that Banton's conversations with the informant put the conspiracy into motion. Prosecutors said Banton was an established drug trafficker by the time he met the informant and the singer was looking for "more, new and different money through a new conspiracy he was shopping for" in addition to drug deals he had already financed.
Banton's arrest derailed plans to tour Japan after a tumultuous U.S. tour for his Grammy-nominated 2009 album, "Rasta Got Soul." Shows in several U.S. cities were canceled because of protests over his early homophobic lyrics and unapologetic anti-gay stance through the years.

Who is behind Brewgooder?
Introducing the guys who brought you Social Bite… and George Clooney
Brewgooder is founded on the desire to transform the world through the power of beer. With the help of our backers, Brewgooder will help lift hundreds of thousands of people out of poverty – not as a gimmick or some corporate social responsibility exercise, but as something we passionately believe in: helping people around the world get safe and easy access to clean water.
Brewgooder was founded by Alan Mahon and Josh Littlejohn. These serial social entrepreneurs have previously started and run several social businesses and not-for-profit events across Scotland. One of their social businesses, Social Bite, is now a national chain of sandwich shops that employs 1 in 4 staff from a formerly homeless background and donates all profits to various charities both home and abroad.
George Clooney poses for a selfie with formerly homeless Social Bite staff.
In just four short years, Social Bite has grown into a large independent caterer and recognisable High Street name across Scotland, generating employment for 25 homeless people and feeding up to 150 homeless people a day across Scotland's three largest cities.
In November 2015, Josh and Alan brought Hollywood Legend George Clooney to visit the very first Social Bite store in Edinburgh and launch the Social Bite Christmas campaign. The campaign ended up raising enough money to provide 73,000 meals for homeless people across Scotland plus warm clothing and tents for thousands of refugees in Greece and Calais.
Clooney kindly agreed to speak at Josh and Alan's annual social event, the Scottish Business Awards, joining a long list of headline speakers including former US President Bill Clinton, Sir Richard Branson and Sir Bob Geldoff. These awards bring together over 2000 business leaders from across Scotland and the rest of the UK to raise money for charity. Since 2012, the event has raised £4m for local, national and international charities, breaking the Scottish dinner attendance record twice in the process.
Alan, Josh and the rest of the Brewgooder team passionately believe that socially minded business can transform the world. Now with our Clean Water lager, drinkers can finally help others by doing what they love – drinking great beer!

Engineering Credentials
The various credentials for Engineers and Allied Professionals and the continued increase in the number of such credentials create confusion for practitioners and consumers alike. Many have recognized that this confusion compromises the effectiveness of these credentials. Some of the confusion is due to lack of understanding about credentials, their benefits and limitations, and credentialing terminology. To address these needs, the Council of Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB) and the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) have collaborated to prepare this tutorial on credentials for engineers and allied professionals.
All NAFE Members, Senior Members and Fellows are Board Certified and credentialed Diplomate Forensic Engineers

text: LeadHEADLINES August "Budd" Horvath will think of his old war buddy Vince Mistretta today. Budd couldn't have asked for a finer friend. They shared a foxhole together in World War II and then Budd built a house for Vince two lots down from his own lake home outside Sturgis, Mich., after they both retired. "Vince was originally from Brooklyn and I was from South Bend, but we became buddies during the war," says Budd, who will turn 87 next week. "We went through a lot together." This is Veterans Day. This is when guys like Vince need to be remembered -- and guys like Budd need to be thanked. Budd, who worked 20 years at Studebaker and another 20 years for the South Bend school system as a building engineer, joined the Army Air Corps just a few days after Pearl Harbor. B1 It was a reunion he will remember for the rest of his life, Robert Smith said. Last weekend, the Elkhart resident met up with three friends he had known in the Army in 1952 and hadn't seen since. The four soldiers had been radio operators stationed with the 4th Anti-Aircraft Artillery in Mildenhall, England. They had been in their late teens or early 20s. In recent years, Smith had been trying to reach them. All he knew of his friends Roy Albers and Roy Fulsaas was that they were farmers in Iowa. And all he knew of Leonard Mitchell was that he lived in Tennessee. B2 Indiana's economy will improve in 2006, but at a rate slower than the rest of the nation, a group of economists from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business said Thursday at the College Football Hall of Fame.

UNICEF helps to enrich school libraries in Uzbekistan
TASHKENT, 30 March 2010. – Children of 850 schools, participating in the "Child Friendly School" Programme, will enjoy reading the classic books of world and Uzbek literature. The presentation and handover of the new publications took place today at the Republican Education Centre with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Public Education of Uzbekistan and UNICEF.
The 8-book series includes famous works of Alisher Navoi, Abdulla Kadyri, Pirimkul Kodirov, Chingiz Aytmatov, William Shakespeare, Alexander Pushkin, Jonathan Swift and Gianni Rodari. The works of Uzbek writers were published in Latin script – so were the masterpieces of world writers and poets in Uzbek language translation. The selection was done by the Ministry of Education from the list of works of fiction, which are part of the school curriculum and are thus must-reads for children. The books' illustrations were done by well-known Uzbek artists Victor Apukhtin and Anvar Mamadjanov. The total print run is 34,000 copies.
Among other recipients of the book series are methodological centres of the Departments of Education, institutions for in-service training of teachers and pedagogical institutes of the country.
As UNICEF Deputy Representative a.i. Ouyn Dendevnorov emphasized during the event, "printing of books is a part of a broader cooperation between UNICEF and the Ministry of Public Education that aims to create a more conducive learning environment and broaden access of school children of Uzbekistan to knowledge and information." She expressed hope that reading of these masterpieces would broaden children's outlook and contribute to their harmonious development."
Director of Republican Education Centre Islam Zakirov thanked UNICEF for the continuous and wide-ranging support. He also expressed deep appreciation for the technical assistance that was provided in the development of child-centred methodic teaching materials.
The "Child Friendly School" (CFS) programme is being implemented since 2006 by the Ministry of Public Education with the technical assistance from UNICEF in six pilot areas. These include Karakalpakstan and Khorezm region, which face a number of development challenges due to the shrinking Aral Sea, Navoi, Ferghana and Tashkent regions and Tashkent city. The programme aims at improving the quality of education through the development of life skills, promotion of child rights, issues of sanitation and hygiene, and the active involvement of families. The CFS concept supports the creation of such an educational environment that is conducive for the harmonious development of a child and full realization of his or her capacities, while increasing their motivation to learn.
The programme also focuses on introducing the new teaching technologies, principles and standards that contribute to child development. Teacher training, introduction of internationally accepted tools for monitoring and evaluation of teachers' performance and strengthening school management are some of the components of the programme.
Overall, the "Child Friendly School" programme contributes to the improvement of the quality and efficiency of basic education through quality teaching methods, which is entirely in line with the goals and objectives of the National Programme for Training and State National Programme on School Education Development for 2004-2009.
As the 2009 external evaluation of the "Child Friendly School" programme in Uzbekistan has shown, introduction of the CFS principles in education process helped to improve teachers' skills, enhance mutual understanding between teachers and children and improve the performance of children. Parents of students in the project schools also expressed great satisfaction with the programme, noting the increased interest of children to learn and excel.
Under the current Country Programme of Cooperation of UNICEF and the Government of Uzbekistan for 2010-2015, the number of CFS schools will be expanded. The new child-centred teaching technologies will be introduced in the curriculum of all teacher training institutions.

Peter Graves' Atlantean Driftwood Band featuring the Grammy award-winning saxophonist Ed Calle and Florida Music Hall of Fame vocalist Dana Paul, will return to Sanibel after 23 years to play at BIG ARTS' Schein Hall Saturday, Oct. 21, at 8 p.m.
Before the Atlantean Driftwood Band came into being, Peter Graves played trombone in the Jackie Gleason Show's orchestra.
"When I got out of the Navy, I was lucky as could be and immediately got a shot on the Jackie Gleason Show. I played in the orchestra for the last three years that he was on the air," Graves said.
Article Photos
Graves worked on the show once a week for 13- week periods, affording him the opportunity to build his own band. Graves received his big break after backing Frankie Avalon at the Newport Beach Hotel.
"We were playing a club and I was asked to back one of the traveling artists, which was Frankie Avalon, this was in 1969. I said 'Sure,' so we put together the band to back Frankie Avalon and the headline of the Miami Herald the next day was 'What A Difference A Band Makes,' that pressed for a band itself and led to doing the same thing for Gladys Knight & The Pips and Wilson Pickett," Graves said.
During the early '70s, the Peter Graves Orchestra was asked to relocate to Joe Namath's Bachelors III in Fort Lauderdale for five years where he backed up The Temptations, Mel Torme, The Spinners and many others. The late Jaco Pastorius, who played bass, joined the band during this time.
"It was an amazing run," Graves said.
Music producers eventually caught wind of The Peter Graves Orchestra. The musician who called upon him first to record on his album was Dr. John.
"We ended up doing his No. 1 hit, 'Right Place Wrong Time," Dr. John being the night tripper, he said 'You guys are desitively bonnaroo,' it's a Cajun word meaning 'the best of what is,' so he named us the Boneroo Horns, " Graves said.
The Boneroo Horns is the name Graves used while working in the studio with different artists. Shortly after working with Dr. John, he received a call from bassist Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones to do some recordings on their album, "Monkey Grip Glue." All of the recordings were done at Criteria Studios in Miami.
"(Wyman) was great. He was certainly the most low-key of the group," Graves said.
Following the closing of Bachelors III, The Peter Graves Orchestra moved to the Sunrise Musical Theatre which was brand new at the time. One of the first musicians to perform there was Frank Sinatra. Sinatra loved Graves' orchestra so much, he used them on his all his concerts in the southeast U.S. as well as Superbowl appearances in New Orleans, Louisiana and Atlanta, Georgia.
"For the next 20 years, until he retired in the mid-'90s, everything he did in the southeast, he used my orchestra," Graves said.
Another big name Graves worked with was the Bee Gees, which was one of the highlights of his career.
"I was contacted by their manager and they flew me to their home in the Isle of Man - halfway between Liverpool and Ireland. I met with the Bee Gees, we hit it off and that started the whole thing. The first album we did was "Children of the World." I was with them solidly for the next six years," Graves said.
In addition to helping them record their "Children of the World" album, Graves also worked on "Spirits Having Flown" and the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack which happens to be one of the best-selling albums of all time. Graves even recalls going on tour with them.
"We did two tours with them, one shorter one in '76 and one in '79. We were out on the road for six months. We had our own private jet, a Boeing jet, with a 'Spirit Having Flown' logo on the side of it. So, we flew private. We were in New York at the St. Regis Hotel for a month. We would go out, get on the plane, fly to let's say Buffalo, play the concert and then fly back to New York City that same night so we never had to change hotels," Graves said.
To Graves, tour life with the Bee Gees was a family affair.
"The parents, grandparents and kids were on the road. It was first class. The music was well-done. It was pretty amazing," he said.
Graves sums up the majority of his musical experiences as pure luck.
"A lot of it is really that fickle finger of fate," he said. "Obviously, you have to be prepared when you get the opportunity to take advantage of it but I can't dismiss the fact that you have to be lucky a lot in this business as well."
Another turn of fate was when Michael LaTona who was a bus boy at the time at the King's Crown at South Seas Island Resort, and Scott Siler of the Mariner Group, brought the Atlantean Driftwood Band to Captiva to play at the grand opening of Chadwick's Square in June of 1978.
"The hall was packed. There were literally people hanging out of the windows. It was a real island affair, it was free for the islanders," Graves said. "It was such a humungous success that Michael, Scott and I all looked at each other and said 'How can we do this more?'," Graves said.
After a few years of going over ideas, Sanibel Jazz on the Green was born. The festival kicked off at the Dunes Country Club in 1981 and attracted thousands of people each year until its final year in 1994. The annual event attracted an impressive lineup of artists, some of which included Michael Franks, Spyro Gyra, Bob James, Chick Corea and Chuck Mangione
"This all happened with the blessing of the president of the Mariner Group, Al TenBroek and Scott (Siler) of South Seas putting it together. We would take the proceeds of the festival and give them to BIG ARTS and other art organizations on the island. It was a win-win, the band loved it, we filled up empty rooms during a slow part of the year and the profits flowed to the arts," Graves said.
For the one-night reunion at Schein Hall, the band will be joined by Ed Calle, Dana Paul and a handful of other original musicians who played at the festival throughout the years. Calle, who won a Latin Grammy in 2015, teaches music business and production at Miami Dade College. Calle became involved with the band while he was a student at the University of Miami.
"(Peter Graves) started hiring me for a lot of different things and he just really liked the way I played. I've been a member the band ever since," Calle said. "I started with the band in the late 80s."
Calle said returning to Sanibel after all these years is wonderful, yet, bittersweet at the same time.
"We haven't done it for so long and the music business has changed so much in the years since we stopped doing it. It's reminiscent of a magical time in South Florida, Southwest Florida and in music," Calle said.
Dana Paul, who was a recipient of the Florida Music Awards Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement this year, has known Graves for over 50 years. Before the Atlantean Driftwood Band, Paul played in The Captiva Band with Michael LaTona, Jaco Pastorius and Marty Stokes. For the reunion, Paul said they plan to play a mix of songs from Sanibel Jazz on the Green and The Jaco Pastorius Big Band.
"It's my hope that there's enough people on the island that remember this so well that they can't wait to come out and be part of it again," Paul said.
Tickets are $45, reserved seats are $50. To purchase tickets go to bigarts.org or call 239-395-0900.

Supply from Vaitarna stopped
A day after it insisted that the yellow-tinted water coming through taps in some areas of the city was safe for drinking, the municipal corporation on Tuesday decided to get the water samples tested through independent agencies.mumbai Updated: Jan 12, 2011 01:34 IST
A day after it insisted that the yellow-tinted water coming through taps in some areas of the city was safe for drinking, the municipal corporation on Tuesday decided to get the water samples tested through independent agencies.
The state government, too, swung into action on Tuesday with water supply minister Laxman Dhoble saying he would visit the two lakes to find out why Mumbaiites were receiving the coloured water.
After doubts were raised on the civic laboratory reports that certified that the water with a yellowish tint was fit for consumption, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) decided to undertake a third-party test to check the quality of water.
While the BMC is awaiting these reports, it has stopped withdrawing water from Upper Vaitarna.
The municipal corporation has asked the University Institution of Chemical Technology and Indian Institute of Technology to check the water for chemical reaction and whether it is fit for consumption or not.
"The third-party laboratory tests report is expected within 24-48 hours and will be submitted to the civic standing committee," additional municipal commissioner Manisha Mhaiskar said.
In a related development, the state's water supply minister Laxman Dhoble said he would visit Modak Sagar and Upper Vaitarna lakes to find out why the water supplied from there was yellow.
He said he would also check whether the water purification plants at the lakes were outdated.
"I will submit a report on my visit to the chief minister and deputy chief minister for further action," Dhoble said.
The civic body's move came after corporators across part lines slammed the BMC on Tuesday in the civic general body meeting for not knowing the reason for the yellow-tinted water.
Corporators also complained about no action by new municipal commissioner Subodh Kumar.
Opposition leader Rajhans Singh along with other party corporators walked out of the civic general body meeting after the BMC couldn't give them a definitive answer.
"Several children in Dahisar have been admitted to hospitals after consuming the yellow water," Dahisar corporator Sheetal Mhatre said.
Dharmesh Vyas, a Congress corporator, claimed that eight people had been diagnosed with cholera after consuming the yellow water.

Blue light works as a vasoconstrictor, and is a proven method to treat mild-to-moderate inflammatory and hormonal acne.Acne is caused by a surplus of sebum produced by the sebaceous glands. When there is too much sebum, the p. acnes bacteria flourishes, leading to acne breakouts.
Blue light therapy works by killing acne-causing bacteria in its tracks, anywhere on the body. Devices harnessing blue light use 415 to 420 nanometer wavelengths to generate oxygen singlets. The light penetrates into the pores where the bacteria do the most damage and oxygen singlets kill the p. acnes bacteria that lead to acne outbreaks.
Creams and regimens often leave acne-battered skin red, dry, itchy and peeling. But Quasar Bio-Tech blue light therapy devices stop the root cause of acne and allow people see the clean, clear difference in their skin.

NanoBio Awarded Patent Covering its Nanoemulsion-based Anti-infective Product Candidate for the Treatment of Cold Sores
|(Nanowerk News) NanoBio Corporation announced today that it has been awarded a seventh U.S. patent covering its novel nanoemulsion technology. The new claims encompass methods of treating Herpes Simplex I infections, including herpes labialis (commonly referred to as cold sores), using NanoBio's proprietary anti-infective nanoemulsion product candidates.
|This new patent covers NanoBio's NB-001, a novel topical therapy for the treatment of cold sores that has been licensed to GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) in the United States and Canada for over-the-counter (OTC) use. NanoBio and GSK are currently preparing to initiate two Phase 3 clinical trials to confirm the efficacy and safety of 0.3% NB-001 and are targeted to launch the product in 2013 - 2014.
|"The issuance of this patent further demonstrates the novelty of NanoBio's nanoemulsion platform for use in treating dermatological conditions," said James R. Baker, Jr., MD, chief executive officer and founder of NanoBio. "Given the remarkable safety profile of NB-001 and the clear efficacy demonstrated in our prior clinical trials, we expect NB-001 will make a meaningful contribution to the well being of the millions of people who suffer from cold sores."
|The development of the nanoemulsion platform began in the 1990s at the University of Michigan, and has since been supported by over $110 million in grants, investments and partnership funding. The newly issued patent (U.S. #7,767,216) is licensed from the University of Michigan to NanoBio Corp. on an exclusive, worldwide basis. With this new patent, NanoBio now holds seven U.S. patents and has filed over 30 additional U.S. and International applications.
|About NanoBio
|NanoBio Corporation is a privately held biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing dermatological products, anti-infective treatments and intranasal vaccines derived from its patented NanoStat(TM) technology platform. The company's lead product candidates are treatments for herpes labialis (licensed to GSK in the U.S. and Canada), onychomycosis, acne, cystic fibrosis and a broad platform of intranasal vaccines. The company's headquarters and laboratory facilities are located in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Variety says that producer Lionel Wigram, the creative force behind Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, has hired screenwriter Peter Straughan (The Men Who Stare at Goats) to update Alexandre Dumas' classic "The Three Musketeers."
Wigram, who oversaw the first three "Harry Potter" films, has set the project up at Warner Bros. Pictures.

Workshop: How to Recruit Diverse Participants, Wednesday, February 15, 2017
How to Recruit Diverse Participants
Jennifer Tiffany and Eduardo Gonzalez, CUCE-NYC
Wednesday, February 15, 2017
12:00-1:30 PM 157 MVR Hall
This interactive workshop will explore the engagement, recruitment, and retention of diverse participants in the context of partnerships with organizations, agencies, and communities. We will walk you through a step-by-step process that supports successful recruitment efforts. Guided by the interests of workshop participants, discussion may focus on studies involving populations with distinct perspectives and needs (e.g., seniors, youth, immigrants, or teachers). The workshop will also address challenges related to retention because, in many studies, continued engagement for follow-up phases is as crucial as initial recruitment.
Jennifer Tiffany is executive director of Cornell University Cooperative Extension's New York City Programs, director of outreach and community engagement for the BCTR, and co-director of the Community Engagement in Research component of Weill Cornell Medical College's Clinical and Translational Sciences Center, working to promote the translation of Cornell's research to communities throughout New York State and beyond at the same time as working to increase community members', policy makers', and practitioners' participation in developing research projects and agendas. Many of her scholarly articles focus on youth participation and HIV risk reduction. She holds a Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from Cornell University.
Eduardo González, Jr. is the state diversity, research partnership development, and youth development specialist for Cornell Cooperative Extension - NYC at Cornell University. Mr. González is assists staff, managers, administrators and their respective organizations in developing the awareness, understanding, and skills to support and/or provide leadership in organizational change efforts on diversity and inclusion.
Eduardo holds a bachelor's in human services and a master's in public administration from Pace University. Mr. González is a past fellow of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation International Fellowship in Community Development sponsored by Partners of the Americas. He is a Cornell Certified Diversity Professional (CCDP) and holds a certificate in Diversity Management from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations.
To Register:
Please contact Patty Thayer at email@example.com
Lunch will be served.
This workshop is open to all Cornell faculty, staff, and grad students.
Part of an interactive workshop series
Researchers are increasingly conducting studies in community settings and applying for grants that require documentation of real-world impact. Indeed, some funders now require components such as dissemination plans, stakeholder engagement, or community participation. To meet these new demands, researchers may wish to collaborate with non-academic groups and craft research questions and results that inform practice or policy. This series of interactive workshops shares the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research's extensive experience conducting research in real-world settings and translating empirical findings into practice. Each workshop addresses a key challenge that researchers face in doing translational research and provides practical tools for overcoming obstacles to conducting effective translational research.

It can be hard to buy for the men in our lives. With many of the guys I know, when they need something, they go out and buy it. Also, they don't tend to have too many things that they want, which they don't also feel they need. And so the item is purchased.
This all leaves me a little stumped at gift-giving time. It also makes it extra fun to give them something that they didn't even know they needed.
Here are a few of our favorite gift ideas for the dad who has everything:
For the Travelin' Dad
Scratch Map
Price: $24.00
Help dad track his travels with this scratch-off-where-you've-been map that charts globetrotting in a fun and innovative way. When Dad scratches off the areas he has visited, he'll reveal adventurous pops of color, as well as local facts. Wrap this one up with a coin for easy scratching – and top with a few scratch lottery tickets.
From Uncommon Goods.
For the Gadget Lovin' Dad:
Boogie Board LCD Writing Tablet
Price: $42.95
This brand new LCD writing tablet is a tree-friendly alternative to paper, pencils and pens. Plus, it's a fun gadget. Simply press on the surface with the included stylus or other suitable writing instrument (even your finger) to create an image and then erase with the push of a button. Comes with a Boogie Board Magnet Kit and Shammy Cleaning Cloth

12-15-04 Prices sought for drug testing
By Margie Wuebker firstname.lastname@example.com
MARIA STEIN -- Marion Local Schools board of education authorized the superintendent to ask Grand Lakes Biomedical and Gateway Outreach Center to provide estimates on proposed random drug tests for student athletes. Superintendent Andrew Smith was instructed to ask representatives to attend an upcoming meeting to discuss the costs associated with the proposed plan officials would like to implement next year. Great Lakes offers an eight-panel screen for $19 per test. The price also includes lab confirmation in the event of a positive result. Gateway offers a five-panel test for $22 per test with all positive tests confirmed by lab analysis for $28 per drug. The number of panels equates to the number of substances the urine tests would identify. Smith noted work remains in order to mesh the proposed policy drafted by the school's legal advisers with the existing athletic policy. The legal version indicates immediate suspension for the season in the wake of a positive reading while the athletic policy includes various steps ranging from athletes sitting out a designated number of games to suspension. If the school board members drafted a letter to Santa Claus, two likely requests would be for new windows in portions of the elementary building and a larger weight room. Smith provided estimates from two area businesses covering replacement of windows on the east side of the original 1978 wing. The prices, which include the installation of screens, are $27,674 from Celina Glass plus $1,500 in shipping costs and $22,870 from Hemm Glass in Sidney. Members also discussed the possibility of replacing other windows and asked whether the prices would hold firm if the work were not done until next summer. Smith agreed to look into the matter and report on the specifics at an upcoming meeting. Reroofing of the weight room has been placed on hold until school officials decide what to do with the facility that has become too small. The facility is used by physical education classes as well as student athletes. Smith will investigate the matter in terms of construction costs for a larger facility. The board also approved 2005 appropriations totaling $9,538,162.79, which includes a carryover balance of $76,448.87. This represents an increase of $170,735 from the 2004 total. Treasurer Paul Gagel explained changes are likely during the coming months. In other business, the board: ´ Welcomed visitor Carl Pohl, a member of the Marion Community Scholarship Foundation, who presented a plaque that will hang in the high school commons. Since its inception in 1996, the foundation has awarded $500 scholarships to 65 Marion Local graduates. ´ Discussed questions regarding the awarding of high school credit for eighth-grade students who participate in high school marching band activities. Additional input will be sought from band director James Stephens before any decision is made. ´ Met in executive session to discuss the treasurer's evaluation. ´ Set Jan. 11 as the date for the annual reorganization and budget hearing to begin at 7 p.m. The regular meeting follows at 7:30.

Micro enterprises prefer local usurers
DTI Davao Senior Trade and Industry Development Specialist Marie Anne How said DTI did not fall short in informing micro entrepreneurs on the available financing institutions that are offering credit financing windows to micro enterprises or businesses with a capitalization of 3 million pesos and less.
How said small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are those that have total assets of P3 million to P15 million.
How made the comment in reaction to a question raised by media on why DTI seemingly focuses on assisting small medium enterprises to the neglect of micro enterprises who are also considered engine of the Philippine economy.
She, however, clarified that DTI Davao is also assisting the micro enterprises by giving them technical assistance and trainings on entrepreneurship and management to improve their livelihood.
Nevertheless, most of the micro enterprises opt for the usurers to easily access loans without complying with numerous loan requirements particularly, the aspect of collateral.
How said the Small and Medium Enterprise Development (SMED) Council will address the problem. PNA

PARIS (Reuters) - Little-known Pole Jerzy Janowicz set his sights on a place among the tennis elite after being beaten 6-4 6-3 by fourth-seeded Spaniard David Ferrer in the final of the Paris Masters on Sunday.
The 21-year-old's barnstorming run to the final secured a place in the world's top 30 and a seeded place in the Australian Open, the grand slam tournament he skipped in January because of a lack of cash.
Another consolation for the unseeded Janowicz's runner-up finish was a cheque for 234,865 euros ($301,700).
"I have just become a top-30 player so I think I will not have to worry any more about money and I will have good opportunities to fight for an even better ranking," he told a news conference.
"I'm going to be seeded in Australia, that is a huge help. In the small ATP tournaments sometimes I will have a bye in the first round.
"This is a good opportunity to work even harder and to fight for everything. Maybe one day I will become a top‑10 player in the world."
Janowicz beat five top-20 players this week including U.S. Open and Olympic champion Andy Murray.
"At the beginning of this year my goal was to be in the top 100 and suddenly I am in the top 30," he said.
Tournament director Guy Forget, the former world number four, said he had seen it all before.
"The first time Gustavo Kuerten reached the final of the French Open he came here with his blue and yellow shirt and his disheveled hair and his very special technique," said Forget.
"People were saying, 'who is that Brazilian player?' So very strange things have happened in tennis.
"Just before the second round, someone asked me a question about Janowicz and I hadn't seen him play at all. I didn't even know what he looked like so I thought I had to watch him a little bit.
"I watched him play and this lad is amazing," Forget added.
Murray, dwarfed in his third-round match with the 2.03-metre Pole on Thursday, was similarly impressed earlier in the week.
"He tried a lot of drop shots and went for winners when he was out of position that maybe some of the others don't," the Scot said.
Janowicz, who saw his parents sell their shops and apartments so that he could become a professional, said he would keep his feet on the ground.
"Right now I cannot relax. I just have to keep my focus all the time because there is a good opportunity to become even stronger," he said.
If he needs a reminder of his stunning giantkilling run in Paris he will simply take a look at the worn-out bag he used this week.
"I will keep it somewhere in my closet at home," he explained. "When I have some tough moments in my life I will just grab this bag and think about this week."

I remain befuddled by Hersey's ridiculous decision to sell their product in drug wrap-style packaging, so I decided to investigate further. There is no doubt that whatever your views, drugs are a part of today's culture. It is certainly interesting to see just how immersed it has become. From "High Times†calendars to McDonald's coke straws, it seems that drugs are indeed very hard to avoid.
Implications - Using drugs to sell a product does not (usually) endorse harmful behavior, but uses the connotations of escape and bliss that come from these chemicals to appeal to consumers. Contemporary society is looking for new ways of avoiding the monotony of everyday life, and this is one marketing technique that addresses the desire for escapism.

North Carolinas best public dove fields are mostly in the Piedmont.
The Sandhills Game Land comprises 63,000 acres surrounding the town of Hoffman along US 1 south of Raleigh in Hoke, Moore, Richmond and Scotland counties. It is open to the public on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
The Commission maintains 15 dove fields at Sandhills, from the 120-acre Carrington tract and the 30-acre Parsons tract to several fields from 4 to 7 acres in size. Dove fields on the game lands cover 214 acres.
Brady Beck, a biologist for the Commission, said not all of the fields are planted every year. Call the Sandhills Depot (910-281-3917) to check on the status of individual dove fields.
Butner-Falls of Neuse Game Land has had a reputation as a good dove-hunting venue for years.
"The Brickhouse Road dove fields (70 acres) ... draw a lot of hunters, but there are other good dove fields at Butner-Falls," said Chris Baranskii, a Commission biologist.
The 35-acre Flat River field, Olive the 28-acre Grove Road field, the 18-acre Ellerbe Creek field, the 17-acre Eno Hole field and the 16-acre Penny Bend field are planted in corn, millet, top-seeded wheat, buckwheat and sunflowers and draw plenty of doves.
Butner-Falls is open Monday through Saturday, with no special permits are needed to hunt doves.
Jordan Lake Game Land has seven dove fields totaling 55 acres, with the 22-acre NC 751 tract probably the best. Its dove fields also have corn, millet and top-seeded wheat.
The Wayne Bailey-Caswell Game Land's seven dove fields cover 156 acres and range in size from the Scott Tract's 30 acres to 8 acres at the Old Bigelow Tract.
Northeastern North Carolina has one of the top permit hunts on the Conoho Farms tract of the Lower Roanoke Rapids Wetlands Game Land between Williamston and Hamilton, but the deadline for permit applications was Au.g. 10. Approximately 40 acres of fields are planted in millet and sunflower on the right side of NC 125. To make sure all 50 permits are drawn during the application process, call 888-248-6834
"Permit dove hunts at the Lower Roanoke River Wetlands are by far the best in the northeast," said David Turner, a Commission biologist, "especially the first couple of days."

5 Things Diageo Learned from QR Codes & Personalizable Whiskey Bottles (Video)
January 30, 2013
Maybe it was a cool idea that didn't quite crack the QR code.
Econsultancy is out with an interesting case study on five things beverage giant Diageo learned from using QR codes to personalize whiskey bottles as part of a Father's Day promotion last year.
The idea: Enable consumers to scan a QR code on the back of whiskey bottles that allowed them to customize a little film tribute to dear old Dad. When the bottle is presented as a Father's Day gift, Dad can scan the code to watch the film. IE, a one-size-fits all bottle becomes a personalized gift.
Indeed, the concept of turning offline products into online experiences and services is something I talk about at length in my book THE ON-DEMAND BRAND. But in this case, I think it was a nice concept that was undercut by the current state of technology and adoption.
Indeed, the brand isn't saying specifically how successful the effort was, but from the five things they learned about the initiative, one might assume the experiment provided just as many insights about what didn't work as did.
The first two lessons:
1. "Build it and they won't come": Things like this need to be promoted in other channels if you want people to act on it. Just hoping they discover it won't work.
2. "Keep it lightweight and effortless": Most brands overestimate how much information people are willing to give them do create digital engagement. And new forms of digital media need to be easy to understand and use - and "effortless to act upon."
One might guess that not many people tried this, let alone knew it existed. And while it's actually a fun idea - expecting someone to go to all the trouble to scan a label, personalize the video, and then hope Dad (who would sometimes be a grand dad in this scenario) is going to take out his smartphone, activate his QR code reader, and watch the video.
Hey, good luck with that.
Still, this a great idea that could really be interesting in a few years, through technology we probably haven't even thought of yet, that will truly make such experiences effortless.
Kudos to Diageo for the experiment.
I mean, brands using small scale trials to see how - or if - they'll work in order to learn how to better engage consumers?
I'll drink to that.

€20 Style Challenge : Week 2
The shoes and scarf were perfect for a little cream cotton dress I had, that is very boring on it's own. I plaited my hair across the front and grabbed the back and clipped it loosely ... a great trick for making your hair look full, especially when it's fairly short like mine. Soooo, let me know what you think :)

Pets abandoned amid moving day chaos
Canadian Press
Not everybody will get a new home on Quebec's July 1 annual moving day.
City-run shelters have been set up to handle the human crunch of people who couldn't find or couldn't afford new accommodations as Montreal copes with continued tight vacancy rates.
But more than 500,000 of Quebec's four-legged residents will be left to aimlessly wander the streets, peer anxiously from behind cage bars or simply be killed if no one adopts them.
"Right now we have exceeded the capacity of the shelter," said Pierre Barnoti, director of the Montreal branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The organization's two Montreal shelters now house around 600 animals.
"Every tenant who's trying to move into a dwelling and has a pet has a problem in Quebec. Less and less landlords are tolerant of pets."
Most of the abandoned animals are cats -- about 65 per cent -- and the remainder are dogs.
Quebec displays one more example of its distinctiveness from the rest of Canada on July 1. When the rest of the country is focused on celebrating the country's birth, Quebecers are lugging furniture.
July 1 has been the province's official moving day since 1973, when it was legislated to ease disruptions to the school year caused by the old moving date, May 1.
That means most of the leases in the province end on the same day, clogging the streets with moving vans and filling the air with grunts.
Often, Fido and Kitty are not toted along with the dishes and chairs.
They get dropped off somewhere away from home, often lured away from their owner by what appears to be a friendly game of fetch _ except the owner disappears before the dog brings back the ball. Other times they're simply abandoned until someone hands them over to the SPCA.
Barnoti said the stress brought on by the abandonment often compromises the animal's immune system and sometimes it has to be put down when it becomes ill.
"These are fantastic animals," Barnoti said. "There is nothing wrong with them except that the people who own them cannot have them any more in order to find an apartment.
"Luckily, we've been increasing our adoptions every year for the past 10 years. I believe we have the record in Canada for the largest number of animals adopted so I still hang on to the hope that I won't have to euthanize too many animals."
Barnoti didn't have cross-Canada figures for abandoned animals but it's more likely a seasonal concern. No other province mandates a single moving day and leases are staggered.
But John Levi, president of the Canadian Association of Movers, said movers are still kept hopping.
"This is the busiest season of the year for movers as kids come out of school, as job transfers occur mostly over the summer and people's leases on their rental accommodation come up at the end of the month," he said from Mississauga, Ont.
Alan DeSousa, a member of the city of Montreal's executive committee, urged people to think twice before abandoning their pet.
"It's an act of cruelty to the animal because it risks dying of cold, hunger, illness or injuries," he said. "As well, they create a public nuisance because in reproducing, they give birth to other strays."
DeSousa, along with Patricia Tulasne of the Quebec Society for the Protection of Animals, urged people to find new homes for their pets instead of leaving them to fend for themselves.
