New Sideline Concussion Evaluation to be Adopted by NFL
February 23rd, 2011 Matt Loede Posted in News
In a release on Wednesday, the NFL says it will use a new sideline test to determine concussions next season according to the Associated Press.
The details will be announced in Indianapolis on Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine.
The new test will include a checklist of symptoms, a limited neurological evaluation and a balance assessment. It will employ many components of the evaluation process developed during a Concussion in Sport meeting at Zurich in 2008.
The test was developed by the NFL's Head, Neck, and Spine Committee, with input from the NFL team physicians and athletic trainers and their professional associations.

On the 28th of August, the grade 5/6s went to the Grampians for camp. We stayed at Camp Norval. When we arrived, we met some people who worked at the camp. My group's first activity was the town-walk. In town, we got to buy ice-cream and lots of yummy lollies. For dinner, we had lasagne and wedges, it was delicious. The next day, we got to go canoeing on the lake and I accidentally tipped the canoe! Miss Ramsey, Jacob and I were totally drenched! When we got back to our cabins, we got all cleaned up and then went to do bush-cooking. We made damper, cinnamon apples and banana splits, it was disgusting. Afterwards, we had a go at archery. Only two people in my group actually hit the target, they had awesome aim. That night, we watched Grown Ups in our onesies for movie night. The movie was hilarious, when we looked over at Mr Romeo, he was laughing so hard that his face was red like a tomato! In the morning after breakfast, we went to our first activity for the day. Later, we came back for lunch and that's when I started to feel butterflies in my stomach because our next activity was high ropes. High ropes is about 12 metres high and you hang on by just a harness and ropes. Luckily, I overcame my fear of heights and leaped off. Later that night, we had Pentland's got talent, Maggie, Tori, Mia, Mahalia, Amelia-Anne and Audrey won by doing a crazy dance to 'Baby Shark'. Afterwards, we had the camp disco where there was a lot of funny Fortnight dances. In the morning, we packed everything up, loaded the mini-buses and played at the basketball court until it was time to leave. We said our goodbyes to the camp and headed back home. It was the best camp that I have ever been to!

"Reborn Rich" Park Ji Hyun: "They said the slip dress I wore before sleeping with Jin Sung Joon is too revealing"
tule7December 26, 2022Last Updated: December 26, 2022
Actress Park Ji Hyun talked about her scenes with actor Kim Nam Hee, who worked with her as a couple in "Reborn Rich".
On Dec 25th, JTBC's Friday, Saturday and Sunday drama "Reborn Rich" ended as a huge hit after 16 episodes.
In the drama, Park Ji Hyun plays Mo Hyun Min, the eldest daughter of Hyunseong Ilbo and the wife of Jin Sung Joon (Kim Nam Hee), the eldest son of Jin Yang Chul (Lee Sung Min) of Sun Yang Group. Park Ji Hyun recently met with MyDaily at the Namoo Actors office in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul to talk about her teamwork with the other "Reborn Rich" actors.
Park Ji Hyun shared, "In fact, I didn't have many scenes with Song Joong Ki. The actor that I filmed with the most is Kim Nam Hee. Nam Hee is really a genius. I think I'm a person with a lot of imagination, but I learned a lot from seeing him actively present things that I couldn't even think of," she praised Kim Nam Hee.
"He joked a lot behind the scenes, but when the camera started rolling, I really felt like I was looking at Sung Joon, so it was very easy for me to react to him. He acted sincerely every time, so I acted sincerely every time. It was such an honor for me to act with Nam Hee," she added.
Park Ji Hyun also mentioned a scene where she was surprised by Kim Nam Hee's colorful imagination.
"Before the wedding, there was a conflict between the two characters in the bride's waiting room. When Nam Hee provoked and suddenly changed his expression with a smile at the end, saying, 'I'll go out first.' I was like, 'How did he come up with that?' because it wasn't in the script at all. As soon as I got home after filming, I called all my friends in the acting field just to say 'Kim Nam Hee is the best'."
Park Ji-hyun shared how she focused on her styling to match the drama's historical background. In a scene with Jin Sung Joon, she impressed the viewers with a sexy Mo Hyun Min in a slip dress.
"I tried on various slip dresses to create my character's images because it was just me and Sung Joon in the room alone before sleeping. At the beginning, some at the filming site said those were too revealing, but I still wore those with the thought that the editing team would somehow improvise it."
Regarding the scene that Park Ji Hyun thought she did the best, "There was this scene where I fainted after the wedding reception. I don't remember exactly the fighting scene with Sung Joon in the hospital, but the bust scene finished after only one cut. During that scene, I acted while turning myself totally into Mo Hyun Min. The director even said okay in the first cut and praised me a lot."

How is artificial intelligence going to impact franchising?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not the destroyer of worlds some may have feared – it's an evolved business tool that can drive things forward faster and smarter
by Amanda Peters
Join 2000+ members and get weekly franchise insight
Please keep me up to date with regular emails from Global Franchise
"There's going to be 'AI haves' and 'AI have-nots', and if you are an 'AI have-not', then you might as well just rip out all the computers in your office and throw away your phones because that's how impactful it will be," said Shark Tank investor, Mark Cuban, at the world's most influential consumer technology conference, CES 2020, in Las Vegas this year.
This isn't just talk. The serial entrepreneur and billionaire is putting his money where his mouth is, betting big on artificial intelligence (AI) and investing in businesses that leverage it to innovate and create meaningful impact. For instance, he has invested in health tech startups such as Eon Health and Genetesis, both of which utilize AI technology.
So if you don't want to risk becoming "a dinosaur very quickly", here's why artificial intelligence should be on your radar even if you are a small- or medium-sized franchisor. "Franchising is at an inflection point when it comes to adopting the latest advancements in technology," says Gustavo (Gus) Guimarães, CEO of Qubo Technologies and Systems.
"The separation between early and late adopters of AI is starting to show up in quarterly results across various industries – both inside and outside of franchising – as companies that embrace big data grow faster and reap higher profits, while companies without a plan suffer, with some going to the wayside."
Are robots about to take over?
Not quite. Co-founder and CEO of HubKonnect, and chairman of QSR AI Research Lab, Michael Koch explains: "People thought AI was like the Terminator, they thought it was going to be a talking robot and over the course of me going out and evangelizing over how HubKonnet uses AI to make smarter data-driven decisions, our successes and clients, businesses are now able to see that it's really just a very evolved business tool that could drive things forward."
When strategically implemented, AI has the potential to remove bias in the recruitment process, improve customer service, operations, and communications, and help better position a franchise as a global brand. It represents a chance to pull ahead of late adopters or competitors that are doing nothing at all while keeping pace with those that have already figured it out.
"Data holds the key to faster growth, higher profits, and more efficient operations, as well as franchise owners and employees that make more informed choices," Gus best puts it.
To be, or not to be
It is great to be at the forefront of technological innovation but implementing AI for AI's sake without a real-world application or doing so because competitors are without having the expertise to operate it or the data required to drive it can prove risky.
"The real question is 'am I prepared to be a data-driven business?'," asks Michael. "The AI brain only knows what to do based on the business' processes, thus, understanding the business is key for the implementation of an AI platform. You can have all the data in the world but if you don't use it, it doesn't help your business. Take the small necessary steps to where you evolve into a data-driven organization to reap the benefits of AI."
Carl Mazzanti, co-founder and president of eMazzanti Technologies, points out a more straightforward reason: "As when investing in any technology, what are the expected costs, reliability, and maintenance versus the projected return on the investment? It's not magic. It's business."
Ben Michaelis, managing director of ThinkEngine, highlights the 'human versus machine' trap: "Will investment in AI technology do the role better than a human?"
"There should never be a scenario where a business views AI as an eventual replacement for workers or a cost-saving measure in that regard. It is a business tool, not a threat to jobs, or humanity," emphasizes Gus. "One common misperception is built around the idea that AI will reduce the need for jobs and people. AI will create many more jobs than it eliminates."
Another major concern when it comes to AI technology is privacy and the use of data. Accenture Interactive's 2019 Consumer Pulse Survey found that a majority of consumers (69 per cent) would not do business with a brand if their data usage was invasive. Thus, it is important that responsible business practices be part of the data privacy issue. Gus emphasizes the need to program the AI to only access certain data. "Remember that the AI will only do what you program it to do. In that regard, it may be wise to proceed with caution surrounding your protected data that deals with restricted personnel or other legally sensitive materials, and ensure you understand exactly what your AI can and cannot access before you proceed," he continues.
"There should never be a scenario where a business views AI as an eventual replacement for workers or a cost-saving measure in that regard"
However, there is a silver lining when it comes to the use of AI and data privacy. As it is constantly learning, the expression: 'Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me' doesn't apply to an AI-powered system.
"The great thing about AI is that it gets smarter, it learns," says Michael. "We are able to determine and understand behavior and improve through experience. The power of AI is improving through experience, through exposure. It can also be set to where it's evolving and learning, which is a powerful message."

What if you could look into the future of your business? With AI, it's possible through predictive analytics. Your business can make better decisions by evaluating profit and loss statements, revenue projections, the potential impact of various spending decisions and other key metrics.
And global franchise brands are catching on. Qubo recently signed a pilot agreement with homecare franchise giant Neighborly to deploy its Qbot artificial intelligence platform to assist the brand's network of franchisees, helping to analyze data and business KPIs, drive performance, increase profitability, streamline operations and improve the overall customer experience.
"Looking to the future, staying ahead of competitors will likely require more. We believe employing AI will be key to gaining or even maintaining a competitive advantage in an increasingly informed and sophisticated marketplace," says Mike Bidwell, president and CEO of Neighborly. "We are enthusiastically pursuing predictive analytics as a tool to optimize our opportunities to enhance our franchisees' growth and success."
Although in its early stages of the partnership, the Qbot AI platform is gathering data. Gus says: "[It is] learning more every minute of each day. Some of the AI applications that we are putting into place include the areas of franchise sales and development, marketing, franchisee sales efficiency, predictive analytics for franchisees, and demand elasticity (the impact on revenue from a change in price).
"Qbot is also providing advanced data comparisons, fraud detection, and forecast analysis, which allows franchisees to run through a series of "what if " questions based on forecast data to predict future business trends."
AI at the center of marketing, sales and customer service
Sales and marketing teams are looking to AI not just to automate routine processes, but are using it to empower people to work faster and smarter. The International Data Corporation states that spending on AI systems is expected to reach nearly $80bn by 2022, up from an estimated $35bn in 2019.
For instance, ThinkEngine utilizes an AI platform that can process a piece of written content like a blog article or website page and then produce a 30- to 60-second video in under 10 seconds. "This time, resource and cost-saving to clients is making a drastic difference to their social media engagement and most importantly, their revenue," says Ben Michaelis, managing director of ThinkEngine.
A Demand Metric survey found that 80 per cent of marketers believe personalized content is more effective. This means that individual franchise owners can use AI to create local marketing strategies by tapping into more system-wide data that is available across their franchise network. For instance, HubKonnect's software factors in millions of data points to create an in-depth trading area analysis for each individual location. After specifying the location, business objectives, and time period, HubKonnect combines in-depth local store marketing with AI to analyze trading area opportunities and instantly generates a plan tailored to drive sales for that particular franchise.
"Franchising is at an inflection point when it comes to adopting the latest advancements in technology"
Michael takes a real-life example of a large QRS that HubKonnect A/B tested: one location running on its AI platform and the other not. He explains: "What we found is that over the 12-month period, the store that ran on HubKonnect increased its sales by an average of five per cent, based on transactions, versus the one that did not. This shows that in the same environment, having more pointed marketing tactics can help a store thrive."
Lead qualification with AIfocused automation or chatbots is another area. A key focus is through custom workflow integrations – this enables firms to better filter lead quality based on any criteria. This clever processing allows sales and marketing teams to work better together to get the appropriate lead quality. In addition, it supports sales teams to follow up on leads which are considered 'hot' immediately to give a better opportunity to close a sale.
A key area that franchise brands have benefited from AI already is customer service. Apart from using conversational virtual agents to retain a franchise's identity and keep things on message, they can also be used to analyze data from customer conversations to understand what works and what doesn't.
Being in the business since the early 2000s, MINDBODY has successfully leveraged AI in customer service in the fitness and wellness sector, working with Orangetheory Fitness, F45, CorePower Yoga, and GymGuyz to name a few. "Having perhaps the richest data set in the fitness industry, relating to consumer bookings, we are able to provide personalized recommendations to the millions of active consumers on the MINDBODY app," says Sunil Rajasekar, CTO of MINDBODY. "Recommendations come in many forms, such as types of fitness classes and routines, and even recommending several fitness classes during your ideal workout times."
AI-empowered recruitment
In many franchise businesses, where HR teams tend to be small or exist without clearly defined areas of responsibility, using AI can greatly impact the bottom line in more ways than one, not to mention relieve the strain put on the team as the business grows. This pressure can lead to snap decision-making, which can have long-lasting detrimental effects.
Daniel Pitchford, co-founder of AI Business, says: "AI can help by analyzing time-consuming tasks like reviewing CVs and cover letters – using automated systems to check documents at a much faster rate than a small team."
AI technologies like KeenCorp and Humanyze can be especially useful for global franchisors where franchisees and the head office are geographically spread out. This type of software is a "gamechanger" when it comes to keeping up morale. "They assess language and communication within businesses and analyze what's affecting performance. They can pinpoint where enthusiasm may slowly be seeping away and give HR teams time to act before things may escalate," explains Daniel.
Dr Alan Bourne, a chartered psychologist and founder of AI-based assessment company Sova, highlights a long-term benefit of using AI in the recruitment process. He says: "By using an end-to-end assessment system, AI can offer much more long term cost benefits in the form of identifying, tracking and, if necessary, amending the attributes that make for a 'star hire', which will ultimately bring about the biggest cost benefits by boosting the success and future-proofing of the business. This is particularly key to the franchise sector, as it enables data and insight to be shared and integrated with the long-term strategy of the business."
Another challenge that AI can mitigate in the recruitment process is bias, provided that the system has been safeguarded from the algorithm designer's own bias and the training data used.
As workforce diversity is a major driver of business success, it is important that organizations ensure their recruitment processes are fair, data-led and transparent to attract the best talent. AI can automatically fine-tune algorithms to ensure discrimination is reduced and fairness maximized.
"In order to protect against bias in AI recruitment," says Dr Alan, "it is essential that a real person is placed front and center of the process so that humanity, laws, regulations and ethics are considered with as much importance as technological capabilities. The opportunities to do this are vast, whether it be using an internal human resource, an advisory board or using AI to audit other forms of AI being applied to the business."
So, the question is not whether you should use AI, as it is already an integral part of many facets of business today, including with applications that use Microsoft, Google and other services. The real question is, where can you use a targeted AI platform to improve operations and get the most out of your data?
ROADMAP TO IMPLEMENTING AN AI PLATFORM FOR YOUR BUSINESS
• AI is not magic; be prepared to put in the initial work required to get the system up and running
• Familiarize yourself and your team with AI technology
• Identify places where you are already using AI
• Work with professionals in the AI field to help widen your understanding
• Research the areas where AI would improve your franchise operation
• Work across the relevant departments of your business to ensure a smooth implementation
• Communicate regularly with your franchisor or franchisees during the implementation phase
• Set up a system to regularly monitor the data and pull insights from the AI platform
• Think of it as a business assistant; the more data you give to the AI platform, the better the results
AI IN THE HEALTH, BEAUTY AND WELLNESS INDUSTRY
Front desk staff working in the beauty and spa industry often wear multiple hats, causing them to drift away from the phone. According to MINDBODY data, roughly 25 per cent of all calls are missed, and half of those are in the middle of the day. In addition, the preferred scheduling method to book appointments or treatments is through the phone. MINDBODY's automated text-based AI system, Bowtie, reaches out to missed callers, answers their questions, books their appointments and even collects billing information.
AI IN DELIVERY SERVICE
Named Frank, Deliveroo uses machine learning to scope out the most efficient way of distributing orders, using predictive analytics based on the location of restaurants, riders, and customers. The food delivery giant claims Frank has reduced delivery times in the U.K. by 20 per cent.
AI IN TRAVEL
Hilton Worldwide and IBM announced a pilot collaboration on an AI concierge called Connie. Connie is powered by IBM's Watson AI and uses the Way Blazer travel database to interact with guests during their check-in, assist with visitor requests, as well as personalize a guest's experience by helping them plan their trip.

Lady Sequoits have a new look on the court
Posted by Adminreportgrp	/ September 1, 2013
"I am incredibly optimistic for this season, as we have three to four players in each position who could start in any game making our depth on this team very impressive." ~ Girls volleyball head coach Jamie Atkinson
By Todd Rohde~SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
When the Antioch girls' volleyball team begins the season, they will have a new look both on the court and on the sidelines. That's because the Lady Sequoits will be under the leadership of a new head coach as well as having some different faces in the lineup.
Jamie Atkinson, who is in her eighth season within the program and who was last year's JV coach, will begin her first year as the team's head coach. She takes over for Glen Heitman, who stepped down after serving six years at the helm of the girls' team and 12th overall at Antioch.
Atkinson will attain a program that sits in pretty good shape, as they are coming off of a season in which they were fairly successful. The Lady Sequoits are also returning several players with a good deal of playing experience and leadership from a year ago.
Antioch finished with a 20-16 overall record in total matches played last season and were 3-3 in North Suburban Conference play, as they fell to crosstown rival in Lakes Area in the regional semifinals. The Sequoits will have just three spots to fill, after losing Abbi McIlhany, Ashlee Briggs and Linnea Lubkeman to graduation.
"I am incredibly optimistic for this season, as we have three to four players in each position who could start in any game making our depth on this team very impressive," stated Atkinson. "The girls have been working hard for the past few years and I believe this will be the season that it all pays off."
On the bright side of things, the Sequoits will feature 15 athletes out for the varsity program including several returning letter winners. The team consists of six seniors and nine juniors, as no team captains have been selected as of yet.
Antioch will be led by the likes of returning starting players in Samantha Falco, Marissa Grant, Madeline Johnson and Elena Kelsh. Falco is a senior right-side/middle hitter and Grant comes back as a junior setter, while Johnson and Kelsh are senior outside hitters for the Sequoits.
The strengths of the team this year will be in the overall depth at several positions as well as the leadership and experience of the returning players. The Sequoits are focusing on being consistent, playing together and being confident in their abilities as well as those around them.
Antioch's goals are to continue to improve and get stronger as the season progresses, be competitive within the conference and advance as far as possible into the postseason tournament. They hope to accomplish this by running a fast-paced offense and being able to stay aggressive on the defensive side of things.
Antioch is striving towards being in the running for a conference title with the likes of teams such as Lakes, Wauconda and Vernon Hills. They also expect their crossover matches with the other side of the conference to be very challenging and beneficial in a good way.
The Sequoits began practicing Aug. 15th and so far things have been going quite well. The girls worked hard over the summer on improving their skills, as well as lifting weights and improving their speed.
"The team focus has been on blocking and running a fast-paced offense out of service receive," said Atkinson. "The girls have recognized their talent and are starting to figure out that if they work together, even through adversity, they will be successful."
Atkinson will have Tara Heitman as her varsity assistant coach, while Molly May is the JV coach and Tony Losinger will serve as the freshman leader.

Each of the five episodes features four culinary all-stars competing in a number of challenges as they navigate their way through the aisles of a grocery store with curveballs from games such as the Fieri Food Pyramid and the feared Food Wheel. Whether it is preparing an upscale dinner using frozen and canned foods, making a noodle dish from the clearance carts or creating a dinner using ingredients from the produce aisle only, each All-Star chef has to shop, prepare, and plate three different dishes using only what they can grab from the grocery store aisles. One-by-one the losing All-Stars check out, determined by a rotating panel of judges that includes Richard Blais, Melissa d'Arabian, Duskie Estes, G. Garvin, Troy Johnson, Beau MacMillan, Brian Malarkey, Catherine McCord and Aarti Sequeira.

Garvin, Beau MacMillan and Aarti Sequeira compete in the kitchen! First, they must eat their words and prepare an international lunch using only items that begin with the letters P and Z! Then, they must prepare a decadent dinner using only ingredients from the produce aisle. The two finalists must prepare a family meal that includes three strange ingredients from the Fieri Food Pyramid. The winning judge learns how challenging the Shopping Spree really is as they race to earn up to $20,000 for their charity of choice. Judges: Duskie Estes, Troy Johnson, Catherine McCord
Premiering Sunday, August 30th at 8pm ET/PT "All-Stars and A-Lister Dinners" Culinary titans Anne Burrell, Eric Greenspan, Jet Tila and Marcel Vigneron are not spared Guy Fieri's twists when a bowling game selects some strikingly bizarre ingredients for a hearty lunch.

Medical practitioners or physicians who diagnose and treat problems related to the neuro-muscular through adjusting and manipulating the spine are known as chiropractors.Patients usually learn from the chiropractors the ways in which they can improve their functionalities or account for their health and also reduce the back pain.The process of diagnosing and treating the neuro-muscular disorders is called chiropractic.The first chiropractor started the chiropractic treatment in the late nineteenth century in the United States.
The chiropractor belief is that the nervous system is affected by the derangement of the spine structure.The concept of the chiropractic treatment is not only to restore the structure of the spine but also to reduce the pressure on the neurological tissue.The chiropractic is not a surgery but it is an alternative therapy treatment in the medical care.The chiropractic treatment focusses on the musculoskeletal system and how it affects the performance of the body.The chiropractic is gaining popularity because of its effectiveness.
The chiropractors usually get patients who suffer from neck aches, back pains, headaches, sports injuries and arthritis.Whiplash can also be experienced by these patients since some of these injuries are auto or car accidents related.Low minor collisions can cause whiplash which is very common in accidents.Various techniques are used by the chiropractor in this treatment. Activator methods, bio-energetic synchronization, chiropractic biophysics vector point therapy,Thompson, gonstead, applied kinesiology, neuro-vascular technique, motion palpation, Logan Basic,diversified technique and cranial are some of the techniques used in the treatment.The injury of the patient usually determines the technique to be used.
Since chiropractic treatment is basically manual, the force will be controlled and applied to the joint.The chiropractors also help in the natural healing of muscles and tissues from injuries.A good and professional chiropractor is not easily found.Rather than using the search engine in the internet to find a professional chiropractor, you can always ask your personal doctor for a recommendation. This is advisable because some of the chiropractors available in the search engines usually pay a lot of money to get those top spots.
The reason for this is to ensure that the right therapeutic technique to treat the injury is used.In this case, a good example of a professional chiropractor based in Madison, Alabama is Dr. Anthony Houssain.Dr. Anthony Houssain is not a chiropractic specialist but also has an experience of over twenty years. Chiropractic care is very important and has proved to be life changing to some patients.


In this talk, the Human Rights Foundation CSO Alex Gladstein will build on a career of working at the intersection of technology and human rights and share his perspective on why bitcoin matters for freedom. In his view, decentralized blockchains like bitcoin are possibly the next revolution in how humans interact with each other.
Today, we stand at a crossroads, where we could go down a centralized path, or a decentralized one. If we give in to centralization, all of our interactions will be monitored and policed. If we choose decentralization, we can preserve our rights and freedoms.
WeChat, the instant messaging software launched by China's Tencent, exemplifies the centralized path. WeChat users can send messages, call, shop, order food, consume, play games and so on. It's the epitome of modern convenience. However, the Chinese government uses big data to surveil all of this activity. If a problematic message is posted through WeChat, it can be censored and the user can be persecuted.
Gladstein will emphasize that bitcoin is a decentralized money network that no single person controls or owns. It is also the first currency in history that is censorship-resistant. For the first time, Bitcoin allows people all over the world to transact with each other without trusting or knowing each other -- a revolutionary concept. It is an insurance policy against an Orwellian future and the doorway to a new and different age.

I hope he makes a killing.
I find myself saying - and, agreeing when it's said by my generational peers - that we've landed at the hard-rock bottom of the slippery slope of celebrity in the US of A... when Paris, Brittany and Lindsay are the heroes-of-choice for the media to "feature" for the impressionable ditz-brains who see them as the icons of achievement. What a joke: if they lived in Kansas, they'd be in a youth correctional facility. Instead, they're in Hollywood... and the Winner's Circle. I hope he makes a killing.
"He?" Sylvester Stallone. He's been out-of-view for years now, running a restaurant with his now adult son in a rundown neighborhood in Philly. Down, but not out, though there's nothing in his current life that would indicate that he is a man with anything but a past; certainly, no future...
Whoops, wait a minute. I'm talking about Rocky Balboa, the alter-ego for Sly (that's what his friends call him). Thirty years ago, Rocky ran up those 72 steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and came into my generation's spotlight. The kid from the 'hood who had a dream, beat the odds, played the longshot... and won. He wrote the story, cast himself in the lead... and created one of the characters that would make him an everybody-knows-him face in the Boomers' yearbook of life.
Rocky - the original - spawned four sequels finishing with the flop known as Rocky V in 1990. The critics - and the fans - had a going-away party for Rocky/Sly, gave him a few one-shot chances in-between, but for the most part had the ol' boxer buried in the VHS dump along with the Godfather and Star Trek multiples. Rocky. Rambo. Retirement. Game over...
Maybe not. Wednesday night, the holiday theaters will welcome Rocky Balboa into the digital age. When the project was announced, the critics' choir started rehearsing their combined chorus: "Game over, game over, game over..." Just when they got the harmonies down... the nearly-finished-with-editing version was first viewed. The reaction?
To quote USA Today, "Preview screenings... are delivering a sucker-punch of charm: jaded Hollywood journalists, many of whom sneered at all the sequels, are grudgingly conceding their affection for it. 'I expected to go all Scrooge on Sylvester Stallone's sixth round as Rocky Balboa,' Rolling Stone's PeterTravers writes, '(But) just when you're ready to puke, the old Bill Conti theme (Gonna Fly Now) kicks in – are you feeling it? - Stallone steps into the ring and every day is Christmas...'" Can you call a now 60-year-old over-the-hill boxer the "Comeback Kid?" Wasn't the "Italian Stallion" headed for the dog food factory?
Christmas is like Christmas to the movie business. They always get a couple of gifts (ticket window blockbusters); the surprise is found in the fact that those gifts are often unexpected. The movies they bet on lose; the ones they dismissed generate lines at the window. Who knew?
It reminds me of another don't-count-him-out figure of history. From a workin'-class neighborhood in Nazareth, he was born before birth certificates; he lacked the pedigree that would put him on the up-and-comer list in his culture. The "intelligencia" of Israel were taken with themselves while he generated a considerable following among the blue-collar crowd in his generation. Worried about his growing popularity, the powerful cranked-up their conspiracy machine and turned the critics - and, the crowd - against him. The Manger Baby became the Sacrificial Lamb; game over...
Rumor was that he came back to life, but after a few weeks, the stories of his sightings died down. An insider Pharisee reported an encounter on horseback; one of his followers wrote a book half-a-century later based on an island audience that lacked eyewitness confirmations. For the most part, this Jesus character was history...
But there's a comeback in the works. The trendy modern media have dismissed it as rumor; most say we've moved on, disinterested in the possibility of another installment of this heaven-visits-earth story.
Rocky Balboa may surprise everyone this Wednesday. I wonder: what would happen if the Lord Jesus Christ was to release his sequel, on his birthday? You think he'd be the surprise hit of the holidays?

THE HERMITAGE OF SANTA CATERINA DEL SASSO: legends and beauty at Lake Maggiore
Starting from Premeno, it is possible to organize an interesting trip over the Lake Maggiore, to take a good look at all the beauty and all the monuments of the territory. Amongst the many touristic activities there is a place rich in charm since time immemorial: the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso. From this rock, on which now the convent and the church rise, one can enjoy a unique panorama directly on the lake, with the Borromean Islands glimpsing on the background and a very evocative landscape. Those who decide to stay at the Hotel Moderno in Premeno, will have to go to Verbania and then take the ferry-boat that connects the two shores of the lake to arrive at the Hermitage of Santa Caterina Del Sasso. Once arrived at Laveno Mombello, after a few kilometers it is possible to look at this wonder able to combine nature and art.
The Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso was built during the Middle Ages, precisely during the XIII Century, by a merchant of the place that, according to the legend, have wanted to atone for his sins in this way. The merchant, Alberto Besozzi di Arolo, in fact, made a vow of penance to Saint Caterina, that saved him during a bad shipwreck. The most curious thing about the Hermitage is that the place, still according to the legend, was considered the house of the devil and, once transformed in a religious place in which the believers used to rush up in droves, was completely destroyed by a rock that was thrown from the mountains by the hand of the devil. Nowadays the convent and the church are guarded and kept by the Benedictine Oblates and are opened for visitors all year long. The southern part of the convent is the one that was destroyed according to the legend, by the devil and it was renovated in 1624 by the Prior Giulio Cesare Martignoni. The convent is the dormitory of the building and it is characterized by particular Gothic arches completing the courtyard with a very important colonnade from the sixteenth-century. The Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso is completed by a three naves church founded in 1585 and the bell tower from 1300, in which stands out the belfry with the mullioned window made of Angera stone.


Great hair styling comes in steps. There's the treatment; a great leave-in conditioner or a hair mask once a week to keep the strands hydrated and healthy. Next, use volumizers, mousse, gel, cream; anything to create a style base and prep hair to be styled. Lastly, is the setting products, hairspray, texturizing sprays and shiny, gloss products. When it comes to styling products, less is more, keep it light and natural for beautiful style daily.

Metabolic complications relating to complex effects of viral and immune mediated mechanisms are now a focus of clinical care among persons living with HIV (PWH) and obesity is emerging as a critical problem. To address knowledge gaps, the NIH sponsored a symposium in May 2018 entitled "Obesity and Fat Metabolism in HIV-infected Individuals." Mechanisms relating to adipose dysfunction and fibrosis, immune function, inflammation, and gastrointestinal integrity were highlighted as contributors to obesity among PWH. Fibrotic subcutaneous adipose tissue is metabolically dysfunctional and loses its capacity to expand leading to fat redistribution, including visceral obesity and ectopic fat accumulation, promoting insulin resistance. Viral proteins, including viral-protein-r (vpr) and negative-regulatory-factor (nef) have effects on adipogenic pathways and cellular metabolism in resident macrophages and T-cells. HIV also affects immune cell trafficking into the adipose compartments, with effects on adipogenesis, lipolysis, and ectopic fat accumulation. Key cellular metabolic functions are likely to be affected in PWH by gut derived cytokines and altered microbiota. There are limited strategies to reduce obesity specifically in PWH, enhancing our understanding of critical pathogenic mechanisms will enable the development of novel therapeutics which may normalize adipose tissue function and distribution, reduce inflammation, and improve insulin sensitivity in PWH.

Riley earns praise for appointments
Published 1:04 pm Wednesday, January 8, 2003
Bob Ingram, Alabama Scene
MONTGOMERY–Even his critics have given Gov.-elect Bob Riley an "A-+" grade for the Cabinet appointments he has made thus far for his upcoming administration.
His latest appointment, that of Kathy Sawyer as commission of the Department of Mental Health, may have drawn the most applause. Sawyer is the first woman and first African American named by Riley, but more than that, she was the Democrat incumbent in the position, having served in the Siegelman Cabinet.
That he would not only pick a Democrat for this position but a Siegelman appointee gives added weight to his promise to fill his Cabinet with the best qualified people, no matter their politics.
As a matter of fact, of his first four Cabinet appointments, only one has had any link with politics–incoming Chief of Staff Toby Roth. He was Riley's campaign manager.
Incoming Finance Director Drayton Nabers and Transportation Director Joe McInnes both are long on business experience (Nabors with Protective Life, McInnes with Blount Inc.) but have had no experience whatsoever in the rough-and-tumble arena of state politics.
Early in the new administration newly-reelected Attorney General Bill Pryor will be nominated for a seat on the 11th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and if confirmed by the Senate will resign from his AG post.
If Pryor gets the judgeship…something he has coveted for a long time…that would mean that Riley would appoint his successor.
Two familiar names have been prominently mentioned for the appointment: Terry Butts, a Democrat, and a former member of the Alabama Supreme Court; and Steve Windom, who will become the former lieutenant governor on Jan. 20.
Butts had been pretty much off the radar screen after losing in a race for AG four years ago, but he played an up-front role for Riley in the post-election controversy last November. He would most certainly switch to the Republican Party before he would be considered for the appointment.
Windom was badly beaten by Riley in the 2002 GOP gubernatorial primary, but licked his wounds, and labored mightily for the Riley General Election campaign.
Last fall U. S. Sens. Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions…who make federal judicial appointments…had nominated U. S. Magistrate Judge William Steele of Mobile for the 11th Circuit spot, but his nomination was never considered by the Senate.
As the story goes, Steele will instead be nominated for a vacant U. S. District Court judgeship in Mobile (the Southern Division), opening the way for Pryor to be named to the 11th Circuit.
Being a newspaper junkie…I read just about all of Alabama's dailies…there was general agreement among the daily press on the top two stories, but no agreement as to which was No. 1.
The historic 2002 governor's race which went into extra innings and the Hyundai announcement that it will build a billion dollar plant near Montgomery were either No. 1 or No. 2 in all the newspapers.
And if you are curious, the Alabama football coaching controversy was near the top in all the rankings as well.

We will start the tour from the city of Dubrovnik, in the south, a jewel in itself known as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' for its stunning beauty. Dubrovnik is the best-preserved Croatian medieval city and the liveliest in Dalmatia. From there we will make our way north, along the Dalmatian coast on the Adriatic sea, to our second stop, Split.

You will meet like-minded gay men from all over the world on this all gay tour. Book now as spaces of this once-in-a-lifetime trip are limited!
Welcome to Dubrovnik: Famous for being the filming location for the iconic Game of Thrones series, the city has such unsurpassed beauty you'll never get enough of.
Make your way to your accommodation, smack bang in the centre of the city and settle in. Here you will meet your hosts and get your Gay Eastern Europe Tour welcome pack. Join your fellow Gay Travellers and your tour host, Sergio in the evening for a Complimentary Welcome Dinner. Here we will all get to meet each other and have a full briefing on the adventure that lies ahead.
After breakfast we embark on a city walking tour of Dubrovnik's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is the perfect way to get to know Dubrovnik: we will visit all the best attractions of this charming seaside city, from the City Bell Tower to the Assumption Cathedral, the Rector's Palace and the Church of St Blaise.
Free time in the afternoon to enjoy lunch and stroll around Dubrovnik as you wish or take a siesta.
Today we will spend a full day exploring Montenegro, getting to know the historical heritage of the Bay of Kotor and Budva. We will explore the city with a professional guide and admire gorgeous architecture of Baroque and Venetian periods.

Free time in the morning to enjoy once more some of the beautiful sights of Dubrovnik at your own pace.
In the early afternoon we board on a ferry along the Dalmatian Coast ready to make our way to the second stop of our tour, Split.
After breakfast, we will take part of a tour of the amazing Old Town of Split. We will meet our guide outside the Diocletian Palace and then head inside to discover the delights of its incredible ruins. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the palace was originally built as a lavish home for the Roman Emperor Diocletian, but became more like a city in its own right as more buildings were added to it throughout the ages.
The rest of the day will be free for you to enjoy the sights of the area at your own pace. If you want to continue exploring the surrounding area you can embark on a tour of the coastal inlet of Trogir — sandwiched between Croatia's mainland and the island of Ciovo. Once surrounded by city walls, Trogir's historical center has been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in recognition of its architecture that dates back to Hellenistic times.
Later, we invite you to join dinner in one of the typical restaurants of the old town.
After breakfast the group will join a tour of one of the most suggestive natural areas of the world: the 16 lakes and waterfalls of the Plitvice area.
Our first stop – about an hour up the coast – is a dramatic viewpoint above the charming village of Skradin, on the Krka River where it meets the sea and in the distance, surrounded by Krka National Park. After our short stop, we'll head up through the countryside towards a unique jewel – the Plitvices Lakes. We will spend the full day in the area, before returning to Split.
After breakfast we take a Fast Train that brings us directly into the Capital City of Croatia: Zagreb.
Check-in at the hotel and enjoy lunch on your own. In the early evening we will join a guided walking tour of the city.

After check in into the hotel and lunch on your own, we will embark in a walking tour of Ljublijana. Ljubljana is often called a European jewel or described as a small blend of Prague and Amsterdam. It is a 'town with a soul', as visitors often comment. This vibrant old town is concentrated along the Ljubljanica River, and the castle on a hill still looks like it is protecting the romantic city below.
The tour is on foot because it is much easier to get around Ljubljana's pedestrian Old Town. Despite the fact that it is a capital city, it is easily walkable. You will see all the major sights in Ljubljana including the main square with the Prešeren monument, Franciscan Church and Three Bridges, Congress Square (Park of the Star), the National University Library, Križanke Monastery, the New Square, the Cobbler's Bridge, the Old Square (the oldest street), the romantic river promenade, the Municipality Square, St. Nicholas Cathedral, the famous Open Air Market, Butcher's Bridge, and Dragon Bridge.
Just 45 minutes north of Ljubljana, there lies the magical Alpine resort, Bled with its magical lake. We will ascend the old castle, perched on top of a steep cliff above the lake, and take some time to enjoy spectacular views of the surroundings from the castle's terraces. A boat ride on a 'Pletna' – a traditional boat made by locals – is mandatory when visiting Bled. We will reach the only true island in Slovenia, ring the 'fortune bell' and soak up the sun, peace and fresh mountain air.
Then it's time to head south to discover the mysteries of the Slovenian karst in the Postojna cave. The guided tour of the cave takes you on a ride by electrical train and a walk through the beautiful passages and chambers with spectacular drop stones, pillars, limestone curtains, and other extraordinary wonders of the underground world.
We will continue to the idyllic village of Predjama where we will enjoy the medieval fairytale of the amazing Predjama castle, the largest cave castle with its dramatic setting in the gaping mouth of a cavern half-way up a hillside. Learn about the legend of a famous knight, Erasmus – the 'Slovenian Robin Hood' and other local folk traditions before heading back to Ljubljana.
In the late afternoon we will then make our way back to Ljubljana, in time to get ready for our farewell dinner.
After breakfast it's time to say goodbye! This amazing Gay Eastern Europe Tour is over. No tears please!
You can make your way to the airport or extend your stay either in Ljubljana or take a train to explore Venice. We can help you plan your stay.
9 breakfasts and 2 dinners included.

Pennsylvania school district pays steep price for censoring public comments at board meetings. Another Rhode Island teacher declares victory over alleged retaliation for exposing CRT-influenced lessons.

The Rhode Island mother who got herself sued by teachers unions for trying to shine a light on public school curricula is now waging her own legal fight for public access to "secret meetings" about "equity" for students who are black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC).
Nicole Solas filed an Open Meetings Act (OMA) lawsuit Wednesday against the South Kingstown School Committee and its BIPOC Advisory Committee, which refused to let her attend its meetings where "district policies regarding curriculum, hiring, discipline, and accountability" where discussed, according to her lawyers at the Goldwater Institute.
It's the latest challenge to a government body allegedly outsourcing its work to evade legal obligations.
Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general updated their lawsuit against federal authorities' alleged collusion with Big Tech this week, adding censored doctors as plaintiffs and additional federal officials as defendants based on newly disclosed CDC and Department of Homeland Security documents.
Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha investigated Solas' complaint but eventually decided the advisory committee is not a "public body" because it "only makes suggestions and does not have authority over implementing its suggestions."
He distinguished it from the governor's Emergency Hiring Council that had "veto power" over state decisions, which the Rhode Island Supreme Court deemed a public body in a successful legal challenge by Solas' late father Gregory.
In a May 10 letter to Solas and the counsel for the school district, Neronha argued it's not enough that the school district created the committee, that some of its members also serve on the district's policy subcommittee — whose recommendations can be implemented— or that the district paid Nonviolent Schools RI to run 25 regularly scheduled meetings.
Solas is seeking a superior court determination that the advisory committee's "meetings, minutes, actions, and other activities" are public, but also asking to void actions taken by the committee or the district in response to its recommendations because it met secretly.
It's irrelevant whether the committee "possesses decision-making power" because it meets all five tests under the OMA, including the participation of public officials, the suit says. Solas asked for $5,000 civil fines on the district, advisory committee and each member of both. She included more than 100 pages of exhibits.
The Goldwater Institute noted school districts in Kentucky, Colorado and Arizona also allegedly evaded legal obligations by requiring masks during school board meetings, secretly meeting to fire a superintendent, and silencing public comment.
Restricting public participation in public meetings can be costly. A Philadelphia-area school district recently paid $300,000 in attorney's fees — and symbolic payments of $17.91 to individual plaintiffs — to settle a lawsuit for prohibiting "offensive," "intolerant," "verbally abusive" or "irrelevant" language at board meetings and requiring speakers to announce their addresses.
A federal judge had issued a preliminary injunction against the Pennsbury School District last fall for editing out racist "dog whistles" from a meeting video, shutting down public commenters for criticizing its equity program, and potentially chilling speakers by bringing in law enforcement.
School officials were facing potential personal liability for unconstitutional actions when the district settled with the Institute for Free Speech, which represented community members. The public interest law firm said the district rewrote its public comment policy, abolished its "civility policy" and even fired the law firm that advised the board.
The Goldwater Institute is also defending Solas in the teachers union lawsuit to prevent the release of curriculum and policies related to critical race theory, antiracism, gender theory and children's sexuality. A spokesperson told Just the News a hearing is scheduled for next month.
In a renewed motion for summary judgment last month, the public interest law firm called the lawsuit an "unprecedented attempt to enjoin the statutory public records process" and "textbook strategic lawsuit against public participation" that violates Rhode Island's anti-SLAPP law.
The only remaining question is whether Solas' Access to Public Records Act requests were a "sham." In a June decision rejecting summary judgment, Judge Rekas Sloan cited some APRA requests that "as phrased, appear to be seeking nonpublic records," including hiring records and performance reviews for Assistant Superintendent Ginamarie Masiello.
Because other requests were "carefully phrased in an attempt to specifically exclude 'non-public information,'" the court at this time must view those that weren't so carefully phrased as "objectively baseless," Sloan wrote.
The state and local unions have passed up two opportunities to offer evidence of sham requests or pursue legal discovery to find them, Solas' renewed motion says.
The unions sought to dismiss the case as moot in June, saying the district had since promised not to produce records that "would implicate teacher privacy," but Solas responded that they had known this before filing suit, accusing the unions of trying to evade liability under the anti-SLAPP law.
Another Rhode Island teacher recently announced she prevailed over an allegedly retaliatory "involuntary transfer" to a school where she was "forced to spend a year alone in a windowless empty school basement resource room" waiting for a permanent assignment.
Ramona Bessigner, then a 22-year veteran of public schools, warned last year that Providence schools were creating observable "racial hostility" by teaching the concepts of critical race theory "under the umbrella of Culturally Responsive learning and teaching."
Some of her students, most of whom are nonwhite, started calling her "America" because she's white, and the district started separating white from nonwhite teachers in training.
Writing again in Legal Insurrection last month, Bessinger said the district gave her a "permanent classroom assignment" for the fall days before a scheduled grievance hearing.
"I'll teach universal themes that all children can relate to, my classroom will have characters and poetry free of harmful political activism and full of accuracy," she wrote.
