The Hillsborough D: Great Wall of China?
By JOE SMITH, Times Staff Writer
Published October 11, 2007
When describing Hillsborough's dominating defense, Riverview tailback Jahleel Addae put it best: "It was like they have (the Great) Wall of China on the goal line." The Terriers D has epitomized stingy, posting four shutouts in a 6-0 start. But if Hillsborough is going to stop one of the state's top passing attacks in Plant (4-1) on Friday night, the Terriers will rely on their three cogs.
There's the sackmaster, senior defensive end Moses McCray (an FSU commit), who consistently draws double teams. There's senior linebacker Marc Thomas, the heart of the Terriers D and leading tackler. And there's hard-hitting safety Chuck Grace, who will, as coach Earl Garcia says, "simply knock you out."
Size: 6-3, 285 pounds
Position: Defensive end
College: FSU commit, but will visit LSU and possibly Florida
Size: 6-0, 205
TDs (rushing): 8
Colleges: Offers from Georgia Southern and Iowa State
Size: 5-10, 185
Colleges: Offers from Iowa State, Cincinnati, Temple, FIU and Illinois State

TRIBUTES on ABOUT.ME
Thanks to all you great people from around the world who have visited,
and paid tribute. I want to let you all know that it is very much appreciated.
I get a lot of visitors every day, and saying thanks to all takes a great deal
of time. I hope that I have not forgotten any of you who have said hello and
paid me a tribute.
Again thanks to all - and keep up your good work.
Please note all the below about.me sites are the copyright of their respective owners.

That's a lot of hits on the about.me/piotrzuylansky site. What's going on.
Well from there you can visit the VSCO Piotrzuylansky Galerie and the
Studio21st. Both are showing the latest contemporary photography, and
on the about.me site you can mail me directly, and I'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
Here on the You Know What Blog you can comment on all photography,
and of course all the short notes written here.
What do you say...
There's nothing like catching the little things - the unobserved that we normally
pass by in our daily lives. Mundane things that scream out to you - look at me.
And with the right lightning, colours, texture and form suddenly makes the less
obvious into something beautiful.
Take a look at the updated Gallery - Everyday Impressions at VSCO.

All good things.....
The Guys at VSCO have Honored me to-day.
I'm glad to receive this Accolade. Thank you!
It's my picture - no it's not!
When it comes to photography these days, cropping your pictures makes
good sense. You make your piece of art, and put it on your website. Hurrah.
Then one fine day, you see your piece of art somewhere else it shouldn't be
seen. On another website, on a postcard or in a brochure - you name it. And
on top of that someone else claims that they hold the rights to your picture.
Then what. How can you prove that your the righteous copyright holder. Well
if you tend to battle it out in a court of law, not only to prove that you own
the rights, but also to justify a large amount of money getting in to your pocket
- you need proof.
Thank heaven for cropping. You crop your pictures - all of them, right?! Good.
Now I'd say that the one person claiming to hold the right to your picture/pictures
have a problem here. If you produce the missing part, namely the part of the
picture of the non cropped "original" and now ask the other person to do the
same, now he's going to have some kind of real trouble here. So crop, crop, crop.
Did I forget to tell you to take a snapshot of the website showing your picture -
or to buy a couple of the postcards with your picture on them. Well there.
You know the drill.
It's your picture.
I'm very excited about the new iPhone.
Hope it'll be a quad core monster, with the ability to connect to a big
Mac screen, and that I'll be able to control it with a non cabled mouse,
I expect it to be expandable with a microcard of your choice, so
that you can determine whether you want to fx. download your pictures
onto your iPhone, or your expandable memory.
I want it to be watertight, and with a good grip. It should come as standard
with 64 GB of internal ram. It should carry a Carl Zeiss lens of the finest
caliber. It should have a non-breakable screen - scratch free. It should
hold a battery that could last for at least 24 hours.
It should be able to float, so you could accidentally drop it into water.
You should be able to fix it to your wrist by means of a steel wire.
So Apple - are you listening!

Chicago mobster Al Capone and a few others have been quoted as saying, "Vote early, and vote often."
When I hear that statement I always think of my grandmother and her visit from the Secret Service. Why would they visit an old lady, you ask? Voter fraud, of course.
Grandma lived in a small town in southwestern Virginia and was not in good health. She left home only to go to the doctor or the hospital. This very nice man from one of the local political parties visited her and offered to help her fill out and mail her ballot. Grandma was very flattered that this man cared enough to help her out.
Several weeks later, grandma was in the hospital and a nurse informed her that she had two visitors. You can imagine her surprise when two men walked in and identified themselves as Secret Service agents. They had questions about how her ballot had been filled out and by whom. Apparently there was some evidence of "volunteers" filling out mail-in ballots, but not necessarily according to the voters' wishes, to help out the volunteers' political party. Grandma was fit to be tied when they left her room. She told everyone who would listen that she would never trust that man again even if he was the town banker.
This was not unusual in my part of the country, at least according to my family. My mother said she had her own voting experience many years before grandma's experience. Mom's family belonged to Party A and Dad's family belonged to Party B.
One year a cousin of my mom's was running for a local office, and she wanted very much to vote for him. My parents went to vote early on Election Day, and Dad was informed that he had not paid his poll tax. Mom knew that she paid both at the same time, but had not brought their receipts with her. The poll workers told her that she had paid hers and she could vote. At first she refused if Dad didn't get to, but he reminded her they had to go to work so she voted. Mom said she was so angry that she voted a straight Party B ticket for the first time in her life.
The next day she ran into a cousin who had been in charge of the polling place the day before. He was angry and demanded to know why she had voted Party B. Since the ballot was supposed to be secret, my mother inquired as to how he knew how she voted.
His answer was, "I didn't let any Party Bs vote yesterday and there was one vote in my precinct so it had to be you." Mom always said it served him right.
As you can see, there is a pattern to voter fraud, and the pattern is that you have to be the party in charge to make it work. Kentucky writer Jesse Stuart wrote several short stories about politics in his native Kentucky and although they were fiction I always felt they were more history than fiction considering the nature of voting in my hometown.
When I turned 21, I wanted to register to vote. Virginia did not have election supervisors at that time. Mom called a Party A friend, and she wouldn't give her the name of the local person charged with registering voters. So I wound up at the home of a Party B friend, and while he and my mother sat in lawn chairs down by the riverbank talking politics, I filled out my registration card.
Because I was in college I requested a mail-in ballot. It arrived at my school the same day it needed to be placed in the mail in order to be counted. I walked 18 blocks to get my ballot notarized and back in the mail on time. A friend of my parents was present when the ballots were tabulated and she made sure mine was counted. She said the people in charge kept putting my ballot on the bottom, and she kept putting it back on top until they counted it.
I voted Party B, but Mom said I have probably voted Party A ever since I married and left the state since there is no guarantee that my name was ever removed from the voter rolls. The funny thing is I have a tendency to vote Party A now anyway.
Please remember to vote in the November election. But, don't vote often. After all, it is illegal.

What went down to September? In some way, it’s over already, meaning we have reached start considering Halloween outfits at this time. Seriously, get began – you won’t want to end up like me, where every October 28th you awaken in the center of the night time inside a cold sweat, realizing you do not have even half just as much time as you’d need to generate an imaginative costume so you’ll have to hope nobody remembers you need to do this every year and merely finish up putting on the Minnie Mouse costume you purchased 4 years ago that everybody thought really was funny that year but has certainly worn itself out.
However, if you simply cannot strengthen your to forget things nature, here are a few Halloween outfits you may earn on your own, even though you do not get began until a couple of hrs prior to the Trick or treat. Browse the internet’s best DIY costumes.

Please tell me I dont have to use gnome, but i love being able to copy and paste text from a web browser into a terminal (using Vi to code websites). I've tried eterm, xterm and the xfce terminal to no avail. Am I missing something?!!!!? Like in Fedora w/ Gnome, I am able to copy text and then with the right click button, it'll paste into the terminal window.
BTW ... I'm running XFCE 4.3 on FreeBSD 6.1
I just tried Firefox and XFCE Terminal 0.2.5.4beta2.
Highlight the text in the browser and middle click to paste into the Terminal. Works like a dream.
TIP: Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

... because you pay first (how do you know how much you'll need?) fuel is $3.35 a gallon. A gallon is just under 4 litres. Stopped at the Galleria on the way home (Fray got more stuff!) and then home by 5.30pm. Snow flakes on the windscreen as we drove home. Dinner at the same bloody place but this time we shared one bowl of pasta with a small salad each & it was perfect. A good day, last night here, off to Maine in the morning where it could be much ...

On reaching Main Street we quickly noticed a couple of issues: only 1 in 6 shops were open, there were signs saying 'No Loitering' & most significantly, we were the only white people.

1 BLESSED be God, our God!
Who gave for us His well-beloved Son,
The gift of gifts, all other gifts in one ---
Blessed be God, our God!
2 What will He not bestow,
Who freely gave this mighty gift unbought,
Unmerited, unheeded and unsought ---
What will He not bestow?
3 He spared not His Son!
'Tis this that silences each rising fear;
'Tis this that bids the hard thought disappear ---
He spared not His Son!
4 Who shall condemn us now?
Since Christ has died, and risen, and gone above,
For us to plead at the right hand of Love,
Who shall condemn us now?
5 'Tis God that justifies!
Who shall recall the pardon or the grace,
Or who the broken chain of guilt replace?
'Tis God that justifies!
6 The victory is ours!
For us in might came forth the Mighty One;
For us He fought the fight, the triumph won ---
The victory is ours!

with the French and their furnishings, which nimbly straddle the line between elegance and functionality. Although French country pieces are largely free of the embellishments that historically have marked more affluent French design, they're shapely and well scaled, with an eye toward balance. And because
rural French of old had to be sure every piece would work its hardest, it's not unusual to see multifunctional case goods or other furnishings that can transition to wherever they're needed most. In keeping with the collected look, stay away from matchy-matchy furniture sets. Instead, mix wood pieces

If you’re considering an online nursing degree program, there are a few things you need to consider before enrolling. For example, you’ll need to take a standardized test and have a 3.5 GPA. While many schools accept lower scores, you should choose the one with the highest score. Most online nursing bachelors programs also start with a general education requirement. You may also be required to complete some work experience in a medical facility. While you may be able to complete these requirements through other means, these are not mandatory.
One of the biggest differences between an on-campus and an online nursing program is the schedule. While some programs follow the same semester schedule as their on-campus counterparts, others offer programs that allow students to work at their own pace. A few schools even offer bridge programs for those who already have a bachelor’s degree or other relevant education. These programs usually require you to complete all of your coursework, but they don’t require you to complete clinical hours.
A common aspect of online nursing bachelors programs is the schedule. In-person classes are typically scheduled around a college semester, while online classes are more flexible. Most online nursing bachelors programs are available around the clock, and you can often complete the program in just two or three semesters, depending on your schedule. You can enroll in the online nursing bachelors program for as little as six or ten weeks, depending on how much time you have available to complete the degree.
Most online nursing bachelors programs have different start dates and schedules. Some of them follow a traditional college semester, while others follow a shortened “semester” format. Most of these programs use an asynchronous approach, which gives working nurses more control over their course schedule and can accommodate their personal lives. You can enroll in an online nursing program that’s designed to develop nurse leaders, rather than simply provide a degree to become a nurse.
An online nursing program will vary in start dates. Some programs follow a traditional college semester and others are based on “semesters.” While you can enroll in a program that’s based on a semester, the majority of online nursing degrees are asynchronous, giving working nurses more flexibility over when and where they take their courses. In most cases, an online nursing degree program will require 30 credits to complete, but it’s possible to transfer up to 80 credits.
Among the many types of online nursing degrees, BSNs are the most common. A BSN is a degree that focuses on providing healthcare to patients. This degree is a generalist degree that can serve as a foundation for a career in any field. You should take courses in the fields of nursing that you are interested in, such as pediatrics, surgery, and emergency medicine. You can also earn your degree online by studying at home.
An online nursing bachelors degree program can help you prepare for a professional career in the health care field. You can earn your BSN in almost any area of the country with an online program. However, you’ll still have to take clinicals in order to get your degree. There are plenty of online degree programs, but finding the right one for you is a matter of knowing which ones suit your needs best. There are a number of advantages to earning a BSN.
An online nursing degree program may not be right for everyone. There are many benefits to taking an RN to BSN program. The most important thing to keep in mind is the amount of time you have to devote to your degree. The duration of an online degree program will depend on the length of your course. Some online nursing bachelors programs are only available for full-time study. Those who want to earn a BSN, however, should be flexible and choose a program that will suit them best.
Choosing an online nursing bachelors program is an excellent way to start a new career. You can complete your BSN with as little as two years of study. And, you can choose to enroll in part-time or full-time. Most online nursing bachelors programs offer a variety of options to suit your needs. They can be tailored to your specific requirements. In addition, you can save a lot of money by not having to commute to the campus.

An Aquaculture Improvement Project (AIP) is a multi-stakeholder effort to address environmental challenges in aquaculture production. These projects utilize the power of the private sector to incentivize positive changes toward sustainability and seek to make these changes endure through policy change. To be successful, AIPs should operate at scales greater than farm level to drive necessary change; they should be focused on the adoption and implementation of policies that enshrine sustainable aquaculture and improved performance at farm and zonal scales. As with FIPs, the FishSource methodology and scores provide tools to guide AIP development and eventually measure AIP progress.
While far less developed formally than their FIP cousins, AIPs share many of the same attributes:
- Participation: an aquaculture improvement project should draw upon market forces. Participants must include supply chain actors, including producers, suppliers, importers, retailers and food service. It is highly desirable for AIPs to include producer organizations as participants, or to have establishment of a producer organization as an early AIP goal if none exists. All participants should commit publicly to supporting the AIP including financial support.
- Needs Assessment: the AIP should develop a needs assessment to identify the environmental challenges and scope of the project. While all FIPs refer to the Marine Stewardship Council standard to guide fishery assessment, no similar standard exists for aquaculture yet. SFP therefore recommends that the assessment cover all principle areas of the SFP Framework for Sustainably Managed Aquaculture [LINK] and FishSource Aquaculture Scoring Methodology. The assessment must be made publicly available.
- Workplan: the AIP must develop a workplan with timebound objectives for addressing key issues identified in the needs assessment. The workplan must be made publicly available.
- Progress Reporting: the AIP must publicly report progress on activities and outcomes against the workplan at least every six months. Regular public reporting helps give AIPs credibility throughout the seafood supply chain and shows buyers evidence of genuine progress.
Farm Certification and AIPs
SFP recognizes the value of farm-based certifications in improving practices on select farms, addressing some aquaculture risks, and providing buyers a measurable target for corporate social responsibility programs and reporting. Overall, the more farms using best practices, the better. At the same time, farm level improvements and standards do not address structural issues in industry planning and management or the cumulative risks and impacts of aquaculture seen in many major producing countries. As noted above, AIPs should operate at larger scales to drive necessary improvements. In this context, farm-based certification has value if it is a stepping-stone to zonal management and/or organizing producers. Leading certification standards have a vital role to play in expanding industry’s approach to and focus on sustainable aquaculture, and in developing standards around sustainable aquaculture.

1. Try doing six to nine mini-paintings (6" x 6"). Divide paper into 6-9 chunks or squares with 2" spaces around each chunk. Let yourself go-- paint, draw, scribble, work fast, set a timer for no more than five minutes per square. See what ideas emerge and where you can go with this. You may surprise yourself.
Here is an example of mini-paintings that started as five-minute studies and evolved later to more finished pieces:
2. Found Object Mark-Making--You can use pine cones, sticks, tennis balls, twigs, leaves, anything you find around the house. Dip an object into ink or pre-mixed paint, and start laying the objects down on paper or canvas. See what images and textures appear and where you can go with them. Try different colors, look for varied textures, and different shapes. A great starting place to inspire future paintings!Coming soon on my website, more tips!

Think in Sets
September 24, 2007 1 Comment
A short one today and just an opportunity, not to blow my own trumpet, but to bang a familiar drum that has been banged many times before by loads of people, including myself.
One of the most critical factors that will determine the performance of your database code is thinking in sets.
Yesterday my attention was drawn to a problematic and critical piece of code. Not some code that would appear on a top-N statspack report of resource-hungry SQL, but something that someone who was familiar the system knew was causing a problem in a particular area.
The fix was as easy as could be and a familiar story:
- Take a pl/sql functional lookup that was being called hundreds of thousands of times by another piece of SQL.
- Take the lookup out of the function, inline to the calling SQL.
- Rewrite and optimise due to the different context (i.e. you are doing the lookup based on a set of information not on a row-by-row basis).
(In this latest example, these actions reduced running time on a 100,000 row insert from 5 hours to around 17 seconds!)
This thinking-in-set drum will require regular beating in the face of test-driven development – TDD.
I am a big fan of the database. And I am a big fan of TDD. And I think the two can, could, should, do and will co-exist nicely.
But you just have to be aware that TDD as an approach is technology agnostic, has arisen in application tiers where this set-based thinking is not either relevant or important, and can encourage you to refactor a little too much in the database at least.
So, next time you write that nice, packaged little lookup function. Take a minute to think about the overall context in which it will be called. And test it using something like runstats and with some appropriate volume (with this particular issue, the lookup was being called 100,000 times but the performance issue, which wasn’t visibly noticeably with one row lookup, was already obvious by simple clock time when called by just a ten row dataset).

USB Keyboard? Then try plugging into a different port. Reboot the computer before opening the game.
Any other USB controllers? Unplug them.
Which version did you buy?
Try Deleting the GTA_SA.set file?
Reinstall the game.
Posted 16 April 2012 - 04:18 PM Edited by Jemoni2012, 16 April 2012 - 04:31 PM.
No USB keyboard.
My bro bought the game (CD version) a long time ago so I don't know which one.
Probably will do that.
EDIT NO2:Deleted the GTA_SA.set file and it temporarily worked, then it started glitching out again. I'll reinstall the game, but backup the save.
Posted 16 April 2012 - 04:50 PM
If it happens again, after the reinstall and it is the V1 you may want to consider getting the Officical Patch 1.01 (Google/Bing) for it. Since you don't mod that won't be a concern.

Effects of NCM/CM Lesions of Auditory Cortical Regions in Avians
My research this coming summer will be a continuation of my work in the Theunissen Lab since Spring 2019 where I have been helping to uncover the different effects of lesions to auditory cortical regions of the avian brain. Specifically, my research scope focuses on analyzing and assisting in collecting data produced by operant conditioning of songbirds with and without these lesions. The hope is that these findings will provide greater understanding to auditory memory in avians, with implications for preference, memory capacity, and discrimination of different vocalization sets.

Medical malpractice cases can be complex and often require the testimony of expert witnesses to help explain the medical concepts involved to the jury. These experts can come from a variety of backgrounds and specialties, and choosing the right expert witness can be critical to the success of a case.
Here are the top 10 types of medical malpractice expert witnesses:
- Medical Doctors: Medical doctors, also known as physicians, are often called upon to provide expert testimony in medical malpractice cases. They can provide insight into the standard of care that should have been provided in a particular case and whether or not that standard was met.
- Nurses: Nurses are another common type of expert witness in medical malpractice cases. They can provide testimony on the role of nursing in patient care and whether or not the nursing care provided was appropriate in a particular case.
- Specialists: In cases where a patient was treated by a specialist, that specialist may be called upon to provide expert testimony. This could include specialists such as surgeons, radiologists, or anesthesiologists.
- Hospital Administrators: Hospital administrators can provide testimony on hospital policies and procedures and whether or not they were followed in a particular case. They can also provide insight into the overall functioning of the hospital and any issues that may have contributed to a medical error.
- Pharmacists: Pharmacists can provide expert testimony on the proper use and administration of medications. They can also testify about any errors that may have occurred in the prescribing or dispensing of medications.
- Physical Therapists: Physical therapists can provide testimony on the appropriate care and treatment for patients with physical injuries or conditions. They can also testify about any errors that may have occurred during physical therapy.
- Medical Technicians: Medical technicians, such as x-ray technicians and laboratory technicians, can provide testimony on the proper use and interpretation of diagnostic tests. They can also testify about any errors that may have occurred during the testing process.
- Expert Witnesses from Other Fields: In some cases, expert witnesses from fields outside of medicine may be called upon to provide testimony. This could include experts in fields such as engineering or biostatistics, who can provide insight into the technical aspects of a medical case.
- Expert Witnesses with Legal Expertise: In addition to medical experts, legal experts may also be called upon to provide testimony in medical malpractice cases. These could include lawyers with expertise in medical malpractice law or legal experts in fields such as contract law or insurance law.
- Expert Witnesses with Insurance Expertise: Insurance experts can provide testimony on issues related to insurance coverage and the responsibilities of insurers in medical malpractice cases. They can also provide insight into industry standards and practices in the insurance industry.
Overall, the type of medical malpractice expert witness that is appropriate for a particular case will depend on the specific facts of the case and the areas of expertise that are relevant to the case. By choosing the right expert witness, plaintiffs and defendants can help ensure that parties have the information they need to make fair and informed decisions.

General Motors has brought in former Hill+Knowlton Strategies EVP and crisis guru Jeff Eller as the automaker copes with fallout from a massive recall.
Eller is the former president and CEO of Public Strategies Inc., which merged with H+K in 2010. He was director of media affairs in the Clinton White House and deputy assistant to the president. He left H+K in March to set up The Jeff Eller Group based in Austin.
Bob Ferguson, senior VP at GM's Cadillac unit and former public policy VP for, is a Public Strategies alum.
GM CEO Mary Barra faced Congress on April 1, apologizing for the recall that involves nearly seven million vehicles and is linked to 13 deaths.
"As we have from the start, we are drawing upon those who have deep experience and expertise in these matters," GM said of the Eller hire, which was first reported by Bloomberg.
In addition to Eller, GM has hired attorney Anton Valukas for a third party review and victim compensation specialist Ken Feinberg.

So I am basing my project entirely on character design, as I previously mentioned. I have decided to strip the book down to the rivalry between the main protagonist Henry Courtney, and the main villain Colonel Cornellius Schreuder.
The book pits these two together at regular intervals, however they are always interupted through some whimsical event and so it is left till the last few pages of the book for them to settle the score as it were.
By the end of the book where they fight to the death, they have great respect for each other. They refer to each other as sir, and are incredibly polite even when both are mortally wounded.
I aim to base my character designs around the characters at this moment in the book, and to hopefully recreate the aformentioned fight between them in a short animation. Though the character designs themselves will be the most important of things to produce.
I have spent the last couple of hours flicking through the book as fast as I can, to find out exactly what I need to know of the characters features and their traits. So here is what I found out:
Sir Henry Courtney :
-Bright young blue eyes
-Quite tall and slim, with robust and broad shoulders
-Unline face, smooth skin, almost feminine
-Black hair tied back
-Magnificent velvet cloak, tied at the neck with the logo of the order, hangs down to his knees
-Nautonnier Knight of the Order golden ring, and a necklace with the England Lion with its eyes inlaid with red rubies
-White Silk stockings
-Breeches and Doublet of midnight blue
-Satin sleeves sashed with gold
-Black leather shoes with buckles of heavy silver
-Crossed belts of black leather
-Cavalier Officers hat with ostrich feathered brim
-Sword of Neptune : Chased gold and silver scabbard decorated with crowns and dolphins and sea spirits gathered around Neptune enthroned. Large star saphires set in the pommel and the blade of steel inlaid with gold.
Colonel Cornellius Schreuder:
Progress here : http://jonathonstewart.blogspot.com/2009/04/transcription-5-colonel-cornelius.html
-Huge muscular man
-Large spiked dark brown moustaches
-Gold embroidered sash over shoulder
-Cold blue merciless eyes
-Dolman of islamic fashion
-Sashes and ribbons og gold
-White baggy breaches
-Soft knee high boots
-Scabbard of embossed gold
-Torn dirty clothing from fighting
There is no real reference to what Schreuders weapon looks like, however due to him being Dutch I can probably find source material of a Dutch weapon in the 18th Century.
So with these characteristics pulled from the book, I have an extremely strong foundation to build my characters upon. Henry being a young athletic man, late teens early twenties, and so will be quite small and not so muscular in comparison to the much older, larger and muscular Colonel Schreuder. Whom whilst is an expert swordsman isn't quite as light footed and fast as Hal.
Of course, this is a fictional book which takes real fashions and facts from the time it is set in. However I have artistic licencing with things like the Nautonnier Knight logo and such, as these are fictional things thought up by the author.

SALT LAKE CITY – Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker played, but Manu Ginobili, Danny Green and Pau Gasol didn't.
And so it goes for the injury-plagued Spurs.
"We have guys in, guys out," Parker said. "It feels like everyone is in minutes restrictions sometimes. But we will keep fighting."
The Spurs did plenty of that Thursday night, battling back from a 13-point first-half deficit. But it wasn't enough to beat another short-handed team.
Rodney Hood scored 11 of his game-high 29 points in the fourth quarter to help the Jazz pull away from the Spurs for a 100-89 win in a nationally televised game between teams playing in the second of back-to-backs.
"Hell of a player. Lefty, hard to guard, especially when he knocks down a couple," Spurs guard Patty Mills said of Hood, who came within two points of matching his career high.
"We just weren't all on the same page defensively, nor did we have the appropriate energy and juice, if you like, to handle him and he got away from us."
The Spurs got Leonard and Parker back after they sat out Monday night's 93-91 win at Portland as part of their injury management program following their quad injuries, but they didn't have Green (groin), Gasol (groin) and Ginobili (rest).
But they couldn't complain too much because the Jazz were also without several players, including leading- scorer Donovan Mitchell (toe) and leading-rebounder and shot blocker Rudy Gobert (knee).
"We're fighters," said Hood, who connected on 12-of-24 shots. "We are going to play hard regardless of who's out there. Sometimes we come out shorthanded, but every single night we compete."
Four others finished in double figures for Utah, including Ricky Rubio, who had a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds to go along with seven assists.
"They did a great job executing and finding the open man on the pick-and-roll," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "They just really sliced and diced us in that regard. So that was nice to watch in a weird sort of way."
Utah snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 15-18, while the Spurs had their three-game winning streak snapped in falling to 22-11.
Six player finished in double figures for the Spurs, including Bryn Forbes with a team-high 12. In his fourth game back, Leonard played a season-high 20 minutes (none in the fourth quarter) and collected 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block.
"He looked good," Parker said. "It was good to see him in the second half playing with us. Hopefully, he had no setbacks and can increase his minutes (Saturday night) in Sacramento."
Asked if he feels like he's improving with each game, Leonard said, "It's hard to tell or to judge the performance. With the minutes I am playing, I feel good. It's a gradual process."
Down by 12 points at halftime, the Spurs were within 72-70 entering the fourth quarter after Mills erupted in the third for 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting, including 3 of 3 from downtown.
Kyle Anderson ended the third with a buzzer-beating reverse layup. In Portland the night before, he closed the third with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to put the Spurs up by two.
Utah started the fourth with an 8-0 run to go up 78-70, but the Spurs pulled within one twice before the Jazz closed the game with an 18-8 run powered by nine points from Hood.
Popovich said the Spurs aided Utah in the final frame with a series of mental mistakes, including poor communication on the defensive end.
"We gave a pretty good effort, but had too many mental errors to sustain it," he said.
The Spurs have plenty of time to work out such issues, but it's hard to do it when players are in and out of the lineup.
"I wish everybody was healthy and playing better basketball, but it is what it is," Parker said. "We will keep improving and everyone will get better, and hopefully we will play better after the All-Star break."

This newly commissioned golfing look doesn’t keep returned approximately the challenges facing Little Rock guides.
From fewer oldsters taking part in the sport to troubles at each of the courses, it lays out why Little Rock is dropping money.
Sid Bray is ordinary at Rebsamen Golf Course.
“We possibly golf here approximately to three times per week,” Bray stated.
This direction has to turn out to be part of his recurring, so he was worried when he heard this week that a brand new price range idea recommended reducing two of Little Rock’s 4 publications, but not clearly amazed.
“Golf as a game is being challenged. There aren’t as many younger human beings gambling golfing as used to, so there may be no longer as much usage, and it costs more and more to do the whole lot you do today,” Bray said.
The city is losing nearly 9 times more at the courses today than it did in 2006.
Much of Hindman is in flood simple. The professionals endorse reducing losses there, selling the land, or repurposing it.
Suggestions for War Memorial encompass turning it into a true imperative park, a 9-hollow direction, or a non-traditional golf entertainment facility.
Golfer Nancy Morton says Little Rock would lose a treasure.
“I take into account that you can not keep dropping money. However, War Memorial is one of the treasures of the City of Little Rock, I assume.”
She thinks any endeavor here will cost money.
“I don’t see that this land is higher for a park than it is for a golf path. Are you going to charge human beings to visit the park? Both are going to ought to be maintained.”
Rebsamen had the fewest negatives, but specialists stated investment is wanted. They said that First Tee suffers from blurred traces between private and public obligation for the facilities.

The Judicial Board Hearing Panel is made up of no less than 21 students interviewed and appointed by the Dean of Students Office and Chief Justice of the Hearing Panel to adjudicate alleged violations of the Code of Student Responsibility and the Code of Academic Integrity. Three Hearing Panel members are assigned to an accused student’s Judicial Board to:
- Listen to all sides of a case in order to determine student responsibility or non-responsibility;
- Engage in meaningful dialogue regarding the facts of the case by posing fact-finding and educational questions;
- Balance the rights of the individual student with the safety and security of the University community;
- Determine educational sanctions and learning opportunities for the responsible student as applicable.
The Judicial Board is in place to redirect behavior that is unacceptable in the University community. A unique advantage exists in engaging student peers in influencing the attitudes and subsequent behavior of fellow students. Peer influence, exercised through the Judicial Board process, can be one of the most effective means of education a student may encounter while enrolled at UNC Charlotte.

Medical underwriting of annuities is not new; it has been growing in the individual annuity market, but it has only recently been applied to DB scheme bulk annuity exercises and to good effect.
It is interesting that around half of people retiring have a medical history that can lead to more favourable annuity terms – a sort of good news bad news story. The good news is you will get a bigger pension; the bad news is you may not enjoy it for long. There are four things that impact the size of annuity: how much you pay in, how long you work, investment choices and shopping around. Medical history is the new fifth factor.
I remember when the use of postcodes was a great innovation in the bulk buyout market and how providing postcodes was seen as racy and against the Data Protection Act by many trustees. Until that is, it was recognised that the use of postcodes allowed more accurate (and usually keener) deal pricing. Postcodes are now used as standard, but it took a few years to gain traction. What made the difference was the knowledge that it was information useful in the management of the pension scheme. It gave providers who used it a short term advantage until others caught up.
Medical underwriting of bulk buyouts is really an extension of the postcode principles – using individual information to get a more accurate view of the mortality of the scheme membership.
It is going through the same development pattern as postcodes and I believe it will become a standard component of bulk annuity pricing in the years ahead as provider experience develops and customer familiarity grows.
While we are in a developing market, there are some issues to deal with, including customer knowledge and understanding, variable practices and standards among providers. And then there was the 2014 Budget.
Recognising the first two issues, in February 2013 a report by the Pensions Institute, sponsored by Partnership and JLT, entitled “A Healthier Way to De-Risk”, signposted the need for a Code of Conduct and guidance to ensure consistent, safe and efficient practice in this new area of medical underwriting in relation to DB scheme de-risking. It also expressed a need to inform stakeholders.
The different providers of these new de-risking solutions adopt different approaches, and should the market grow quickly, there is a risk that different requirements, factors, forms and timescales in approach will confuse the market and make the solution unattractive for the wrong reasons. I am a great believer in standardisation of the data and process wherever possible, leaving room for differentiation in the calculations, so I believe we should encourage simplification. However, the contrary view is that the industry is so new it needs the freedom to develop products and approaches to maintain competitiveness. Shared procedures and collateral will emerge in future.
In the meantime, customers need information to help them understand the solution in general terms as well as appreciate the variety of approaches and how those approaches may affect outcomes.
The Good Practice Guide
Last year, I was asked if I would lead on the development of a guide to good practice in this new area, so I set about gathering together a group of key stakeholders (including insurers, consultants, advisers, trustees and lawyers) to help. The guide will be published later this year and it will explain medical underwriting, how it works and the benefits of the approach, as well as the potential downside. For example, if you are medically underwritten and don’t like the outcome [you are too healthy], the genie is out of the bottle and you cannot conceal that knowledge in a later application for cover. The same applies to a bulk exercise and some trustees may find this uncomfortable.
Additionally, a bulk annuity exercise using medical underwriting gives results that help the scheme as a whole rather than individual members. Premiums may be 10% lower, making buyout more affordable, but none of the individuals themselves get a higher pension – all receive a standard annuity. This can be challenging to explain, but generally scheme members are fine with this.
The drafting team has been busy for the last few months and the key sections have been written and are being internally reviewed. We have external reviewers, including the Society of Pension Consultants (SPC), which kindly agreed to help us with an independent review. It has been a great exercise in industry-wide co-operation.
The Budget – the last of the issues
The March 2014 Budget proposed that from April 2015 people aged 55 will be able to take their entire fund as cash or invest it as they wish. People have always been able to take more than 25% as cash, if they were prepared to pay the significant tax penalty (55%). The tax cost for excess cash will become the member’s highest marginal rate, which in some cases could be 60%, so the freedom is not quite as new or as free as suggested. Equally, there has not been compulsion to buy an annuity on retirement for some time. However, it is widely anticipated that the change will make some difference, especially over the short term.
The immediate reaction to the Budget was that this would be the end of annuities, and in particular enhanced annuities, with the market predicted to shrink from £12bn to £5bn a year. Firstly, this assumes that people will take cash and blow it on a Lamborghini (or more likely on lamb chops, given the average pot size is £30,000).
Inevitably, there will be an initial rush to cash, but that will calm down, especially when people realise that the Treasury will take a significant chunk off and will resist or spread or defer. 400,000 people retire from DC schemes each year and most will continue to need or want a secure lifetime income – even if guidance tells them how long they have to live.
Annuities are relatively simple, although seen as poor value currently; drawdown and working out how long your cash will last is more complex and stressful. I am more concerned that people will be tempted into liberation scams rather than traditional annuity providers, so education of members will be essential and the Guidance Guarantee set out in the Budget will help.
Do I believe that there is a strong future for medically underwritten bulk annuities? Do I think freedom and choice is a good thing? Yes, I do. I see a future with annuities alive and well, but more flexible than now and, more tailored to individual circumstances. This includes medically enhanced annuities, whether bulk or individual.

Stepping away from the chick peas this month, I have finally learned to cook something else, black bean burgers.
At the ripe old of 28 (#fakenews), I should be able to cook more, but I can’t be good at everything right?
Being vegetarian, one thing I do miss is a big juicy burger every now and again. Coming into BBQ season, although you’d never tell with all the snow, I’ve been on the look out for a replacement. I came across black bean burgers and have tried loads of recipes with varying degree of success. That was until I stumble upon this recipe from www.allrecipes.co.uk and I am hooked. They don’t taste like meat but are filling enough. Covered in cheese and ketchup and stuck in a bun, it was hard to tell the difference.
What you need!
- 1 tin of black beans, drained and rinsed. (16oz)
- 1/2 a gree bell pepper, cut into 2 inch pieces.
- 1/2 an onion, cut into wedges.
- 3 – 4 cloves of garlic, peeled.
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon of chilli powder.
- 1 tablespoon of cumin.
- 1 teaspoon of chilli sauce ( I used the Tesco own brand chilli paste).
- 1/2 a cup of bread crumbs.
How to make them!
- Mash the black beans in a bowl until thick and pasty.
- Mix the pepper, onion and garlic in a food processor and then mix in with the beans.
- Add the egg, chilli powder, cumin and chilli paste to the mix.
- Add the bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together.
- Divide into four or six patties depending on your appetite.
- You can grill or bake them. I usually grill them and turn regularly for about 10-12 minutes, this depends on the size of them. The bigger you make them the longer it takes them to cook inside.
- You can bake them in the oven too at a temperature of 190.
I serve them with some sweet potato fries and a side salad. For an extra treat I melt some cheese over them too. I’m having a love affair with Halloumi at the moment, but you can use Mozzarella or plain old cheddar.
They can resemble baby sick while you are mashing it all together but they really do end up tasting delicious. You can add more spice if you like your food hot.

MD legislators ban commercial harvest of diamondback terrapins
- Comments are closed for this article.
Diamondback terrapins got a pardon in March, when Maryland’s House and Senate approved bills banning the commercial harvest of the state’s favorite turtle.
The bills would end the state’s short commercial season for terrapins, which thrive in brackish waters around the Chesapeake Bay but are in decline. The bill passed the House 127–10; a similar version passed the Senate 43–2.
Some opposed the ban, saying terrapins should be protected by the state Department of Natural Resources, not through the law. “A number of my constituents said this is a bad idea,” said Del. Adelaide Eckardt, an Eastern Shore Republican who voted against the ban.
Sponsors of the ban acknowledged that the commercial catch of terrapins is small, but that the species needs all the help it can get when faced with habitat decline and other threats.
“We might lose one animal in our ecosystem, which is simply not acceptable,” said Del. Virginia Clagett, D-Anne Arundel, who sponsored one of the bans.
The House and Senate will have to reconcile minor differences in the two bans before sending it to Gov. Martin O’Malley.
The DNR Department of Natural Resources, which pledged to to put a moratorium on hunting terrapin, opposed the ban, saying the regulatory agency, not lawmakers, should make the decision.
Eric Schwaab, a deputy DNR secretary, said the terrapin is safe regardless of whether a law is passed. “We’ve been moving on a somewhat parallel track,” he said.
The turtles are hallmark creatures of the Chesapeake region and are the mascot of the University of Maryland in College Park.
The concern over terrapins is that they may be fished out of existence to supply a strong demand from the Asian seafood market. Although the terrapin has fallen out of favor as a local delicacy, there is a very strong demand for it in Asia, because the turtle, a symbol of longevity, is a prized soup ingredient. Turtle meat sells for around $20 a pound in China. It is also popular among the immigrant community in New York City.
Some East Coast states, including Delaware and Virginia, already ban commercial terrapin harvesting. Maryland was one of only four states that allowed the commercial harvest of the turtle.
Larry Simns, president of the Maryland Watermen’s Association, said the terrapin’s misfortune is caused by development, not harvesting. Only about 40 people in the state catch terrapins commercially, said Simns, adding that a ban won’t stop the turtles’ decline. Watermen reported a catch of 10,050 turtles last year.
“It’s a feel-good thing for the legislature but they’re not really doing anything” because habitat loss is the main problem, he said. He pointed out that terrapins were once abundant on the western side of the Bay, but now are mostly found in rural parts of the Eastern Shore.
In hearings in February, biologists testified that terrapins are in decline, although the exact population isn’t known. Among those pushing for a ban were terrapin expert Willem Rosenberg of Ohio University and Jack Cover, curator of the National Aquarium of Baltimore. A recent study by Rosenberg found a 75 percent decline in reproductive age females in the Patuxent River in the last decade.
Cover said terrapins may be on “a slow spiral to extinction,” noting that terrapins take a long time to reproduce, which means they have a harder time bouncing back from overharvesting.
“If we want our terrapins around...we really have to end this fishery once and for all. It just won’t work for this species,” Cover told lawmakers. He joked, “You cannot have your state reptile and eat it, too.”
Terrains are essential to the Chesapeake ecosystem because they eat snails that are destroying the Chesapeake’s marsh grasses.

PROVIDENCE – As much the sight of former PC baseball standout John McDonald bringing out the World Series trophy to where PawSox President Mike Tamburro and General Manager Lou Schwechheimer were standing at center court was cause for celebration, there was probably a lot of steam coming out of the Providence College locker room.
A strong push by the Boston College Eagles right before halftime enabled the visitors to grab a 31-127 lead over the Friars at halftime. The Eagles’ 11-2 surge coincided with lowpost threat Ryan Anderson scoring all six of his first-half points. The junior had been held off the scoreboard until there were four minutes left in the half.
The first half was defined by lots of pushing and grabbing, which in turn led to a bevy of whistles. A total of 19 fouls were called with four players – two on each side – called for two personals.
PC missed 15 of its final 19 shots to end the first half at 38.5 percent from the floor. As expected, sophomore Kris Dunn did not suit up while Rodney Bullock and Brandon Austin were not on Ed Cooley’s bench.

Today's card is a promo for Lidless Eye, spoiler released on the newsgroup. From what I gather, it will be in the May Scrye magazine (released later this month, I believe) and will then be available through the normal channel of Self Addressed, Stamped Envelopes sent to ICE.
Deadly Dart # Minion Resource # Minor Item # 0 MP # 2 CP
Scout Only. Tap Deadly Dart to give -1 body and -1 strike (to a minimum of one) to an auto attack or hazard creature keyed to a site. Tap its bearer or discard Deadly Dart when it is tapped. May also be used as a Hero resource (i.e. included in a Wizard's deck), but may not be included with a hero starting party.
First, a little terminology. This card, from what I understand, will have a slightly different resource marking to show that it is for use by minions (most of our current agents plus more minions such as orcs in companies led by Nazgul) rather than by heroes (the companies we have now). This one specifically allows for hero use, but with a drawback.
Deadly Dart is a nice utility card, nothing to make a huge part of your deck, but a nice card to have around, sort of a Black Arrow for the bad guys. It's for scouts only (no one else may even carry it), but there will probably be plenty of scouts, probably even some non-unique ones. While -1 to body isn't particularly great, -1 strike can be pretty nice. For instance, your company heads to Dancing Spire to take advantage of the low prowess. Tap Deadly Dart to reduce the attack to 1 at 11 and you can almost waltz in right under Daelomin's nose (with someone like Beorn or a wizard). Or perhaps a Nazgul riding a Fell Beast is bearing down on your company at Carn Dum and will surely hit your weak scout. Why not tap the scout and reduce the attack to just one strike and make the body fairly beatable, after all, a reduced strike still lets you get the MPs.
Deadly Dart does have a disadvantage, though, in that to keep it around you have to tap the scout. This means you shouldn't give a Deadly Dart to a character like Aragorn who you want to leave untapped, and you may even have some reservations giving it to a Hobbit, who you might need to grab an item or play a Concealment. Sure, you can use it along with cards like Hundreds of Butterflies or recylce it with Mathom Lore, but as it stands, you'll often be better off with a Black Arrow or, as time progresses, a Bow of Dragon-horn. Of course, in conjunction (maybe even on the same Warrior/Scout), these three cards can work as preventive measures to scare your opponent into not attacking you, as you'll just make them much weaker.
It still, it remains to be seen what sort of scouts Lidless Eye holds, and there may be some Orcs that work very well with Deadly Dart.

Oscar De La Hoya beautiful full signature (silver sharpie) autographed portrait (print). Beautifully framed and mounted measuring 23" x 19".
Price: £ RESERVED
Oscar De La Hoya (born February 4, 1973) Mexican American nicknamed "The Golden Boy," De La Hoya won a gold medal at the Barcelona Olympic Games shortly after graduating from James A. Garfield High School.
De La Hoya was born in East Los Angeles, California, and comes from a boxing family. His grandfather Vicente, father Joel Sr. and brother Joel Jr. were all boxers. De La Hoya was The Ring's "Fighter of the Year" in 1995 and Ring Magazine's top-rated Pound for Pound fighter in the World in 1997 & 1998. De La Hoya officially announced his retirement from the sport at a press conference held in Los Angeles on April 14, 2009.
De La Hoya has defeated 17 World champions and has won ten World titles in six different weight classes. He has also generated more money than any other boxer in the history of the sport, an estimated to about roughly over $700 million pay-per-view income.
De La Hoya founded Golden Boy Promotions, a combat sport promotional firm. He is the first American of Hispanic descent to own a national boxing promotional firm and one of the few boxers to take on promotional responsibilities while still active.
De La Hoya's amateur career included 234 wins, 163 by knockout, with only six losses. Of those six losses, two came at the hands of Shane Mosley.
In 1989, he won the National Golden Gloves title in the bantamweight division. In 1990, at the age of 17, he won the U.S. National Championship at featherweight and was the youngest U.S. boxer at that year’s Goodwill Games, winning a gold medal. The joy of victory was tempered by the news that his mother, Cecilia, was terminally ill with breast cancer. She died in October 1990, expressing the hope that her son would one day become an Olympic gold medallist.
With the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, approaching, De La Hoya turned his mother’s dream into a strong focus for his training. After an upset victory in the first round over the Mexican boxer Julio Gonzalez, De La Hoya defeated Marco Rudolph of Germany to win gold. The U.S. media publicized his quest to fulfill his mother's dying wish and dubbed him with the nickname "The Golden Boy," which has remained with him throughout his career.
Professional Career - Super-Featherweight
On November 23, 1992, De La Hoya made his professional debut by scoring a first round TKO victory. In his twelfth professional fight, he won his first World title at age 20, stopping Jimmy Bredahl (16–0) in the tenth round to win the WBO Super Featherweight title. He defended the title once, stopping Giorgio Campanella (20–0) in three rounds.
On July 29, 1994, he knocked out Jorge Páez (53–6–4) in the second round to win the vacant WBO Lightweight title. In his first title defence, he defeated John-John Molina (36–3), who had recently vacated his IBF Super Featherweight title, by unanimous decision.
De La Hoya vs Ruelas Unification
On May 6, 1995, De La Hoya defeated IBF lightweight champion Rafael Ruelas (43–1–0) in a unification bout. De La Hoya knocked Ruelas down twice before the fight was stopped in the second round. The IBF then ordered De La Hoya to defend against Miguel Julio.
He relinquished the IBF title and defended the WBO title against undefeated Genaro Hernández (32–0–1), who relinquished the WBA super-featherweight title to fight De La Hoya. Hernandez quit after six rounds because of a broken nose. In his sixth and final defence of the WBO lightweight title, he knocked out Jesse James Leija (30–1–2) in three rounds.
Light-Welterweight - Chávez vs De La Hoya
On June 7, 1996, Oscar De La Hoya fought Mexican legend Julio César Chávez (96–1–1) for the Lineal & WBC Light-welterweight championship. De la Hoya, with a record of 21–0 with 19 K.Os, defeated Chavez by a fourth round TKO. The fight was stopped due to a bad cut suffered by Chavez. Until their rematch in 1998, Chávez stated that De La Hoya did not defeat him since the fight was stopped. De La Hoya successfully defended his titles with a twelve round unanimous decision against undefeated former WBC Lightweight Champion and number one light welterweight contender Miguel Ángel González (41–0–0).
Welterweight - Whitaker vs De La Hoya
On June 12, 1997, De La Hoya moved up to the welterweight division and fought Pernell Whitaker (40–1–1). The fight proved to be a difficult one. De La Hoya won a disputed twelve round unanimous decision to capture the Lineal and WBC titles. He also became the Ring Magazine's number one ranked pound-for-pound fighter.
Oscar De La Hoya vs Julio César Chávez II
On September 13, 1997, he defeated Héctor Camacho (63–3–1) by unanimous decision. On September 8, 1998, he fought a rematch with Julio César Chávez (100–2–2) and defeated him by eighth round TKO. In his next bout, he faced undefeated former WBA Welterweight Champion Ike Quartey (34–0–1) and won by a somewhat disputable split decision.
De La Hoya was knocked down once in the fight, while Quartey was down twice. He then defeated Oba Carr (48–2–1) by eleventh round TKO.
De La Hoya vs Trinidad Unification
After seven defences of his Lineal/WBC welterweight titles, De La Hoya fought rival and IBF Champion Félix Trinidad (35–0) on September 18, 1999, in one of the biggest pay-per-view events in history, setting a record for a non-heavyweight fight. Oscar dominated the vast majority of the first nine rounds, staying just outside of Trinidad's range while generating much success with his stiff jab and blitzing combinations. But in the last 2-3 rounds of the fight, heeding the strict instructions of his corner who felt that De La Hoya was way ahead on the scorecards, De La Hoya shut down much of his offense and evaded trading with Trinidad. De La Hoya virtually gave away the last couple of rounds. Though landing well over 100 more punches, Trinidad was ultimately awarded a majority decision. The judges scorecards came under question after the decision. Fans and boxing analysts called for a rematch, which never happened.
De La Hoya vs Mosley
On February 26, 2000, De La Hoya knocked out Derrell Coley (34–1–2) in a WBC eliminator. The WBC awarded De La Hoya their welterweight title, which he lost, to Shane Mosley (34–0) by a split decision on 17 June 2000, giving De La Hoya the first sound defeat of his pro career. The fight was a disputed decision, with one judge scoring the fight 115–113 for De La Hoya, and the other two scoring it 116–112 and 115–113 for Mosley.
De La Hoya took promoter Bob Arum to court in the fall of 2000, trying to break his contract with the promoter. The courts ruled in favour of De La Hoya in February 2001.
Tempers flared during the battle and reached a low in March 2001, when De La Hoya called Arum racist in a newspaper interview and then apologized for the remarks.
"I don't have blue eyes and I am not white, but a Mexican arriving on the cusp of fame, and that is what they do not support," De La Hoya told La Opinion in 2001. "Bob Arum's people hope I lose because they can't see a Mexican above them, and also that he defeated one of the biggest Jews to come out of Harvard."
De La Hoya defeated Arturo Gatti (33–4) by fifth round TKO on March 24, 2001.
He then moved up to light-middleweight, challenging the Spanish Lineal/WBC champion Javier Castillejo. De La Hoya dominated the fight, winning almost every round and knocking Castillejo (51–4) down with ten seconds to go to win the title by a unanimous decision.
Rivalry with Fernando Vargas
De La Hoya did not fight for the 15 months and in this time the rivalry between him and WBA champion "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas (22–1) grew. They knew each other as amateurs and it is said the rivalry began when Vargas was angered by De La Hoya laughing at him after he fell into a snowbank. De La Hoya said he would never fight him.
Eventually, however, De La Hoya accepted a match. The fight was scheduled for early 2002, but De La Hoya had to withdraw because of a hand injury.
The unification bout, labelled "Bad Blood," finally took place on September 14, 2002, at the Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip. The fight was even for the first six rounds, with Vargas landing punches on the ropes in the odd rounds, while De La Hoya outboxed him in the even rounds. De La Hoya took over the fight in the seventh round and hurt Vargas with a left hook in the tenth. In the next round, De La Hoya knocked Vargas down with a left hook and stopped him moments later. The win is widely considered to be the biggest of De La Hoya's career. Vargas tested positive for stanozolol after the fight.
De La Hoya vs Mosley II
De La Hoya defended his unified title against Yori Boy Campas (80–5) with a routine seventh round stoppage then faced Shane Mosley (38–2) in a rematch. The fight, billed as "Retribution" and staged at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, was more of a boxing match than their first encounter, and while some rounds were close, De La Hoya's game plan utilizing his jab seemed to be paying off, leaving Mosley visually frustrated. It was De La Hoya who seemed to be landing the cleaner, more effective punches, and obliterated Mosley in Compubox, landing over 100 more. But judges apparently didn't see it that way awarding Mosley with the controversial unanimous decision. Mosley was later connected to the BALCO Labs steroid scandal. Jeff Novitzky, a lead investigator on the BALCO case, reported that documents seized from the lab show that Mosley received "the clear" and "the cream," both designer steroids. Mosley reportedly began his doping regimen prior to his rematch with Oscar De La Hoya. Mosley would later admit to using performance-enhancing drugs from BALCO for this bout, saying he thought they were legal supplements.
Middleweight - Sturm vs De La Hoya
De la Hoya next challenged Felix Sturm (20–0) for the WBO middleweight title on June 5, 2004, and a shot at the undisputed World middleweight champ Bernard Hopkins. De La Hoya was awarded a unanimous decision, becoming the first boxer in history to win World titles in six different weight divisions. All three judges scored the bout 115–113 in favour of De La Hoya. The decision was very controversial, far more so than his decision wins over Pernell Whitaker or Ike Quartey: Whereas the Whitaker & Quartey fights were considered close bouts that could've gone either way (or called a draw), the feeling from most is that De La Hoya flat-out lost to Sturm. Compubox counted Sturm as landing 234 of 541 punches, while counting De La Hoya as landing 188 of 792. There had been some rumblings throughout the boxing community that the decision was made to insure that De La Hoya would fight Hopkins, a mega-dollar fight that would've drawn more money than a Hopkins-Sturm matchup would.
Iain Darke of Skye Sports said the decision looked "tailor made" to set up De La Hoya versus Hopkins. "(De La Hoya) got the benefit of high charity," Darke said. Sturm & his promotional team, Universum Box-Promotion, filed a protest with the Nevada State Athletic Commission over the decision, but it was to no avail, and the decision still stands today.
Hopkins vs De La Hoya
De La Hoya fought Bernard Hopkins (44–2–1) in a unification match on September 18, 2004 in Las Vegas. Hopkins held the WBC, WBA, and IBF middleweight titles, was recognized as Lineal and The Ring champion, and was considered by many to be the number one pound for pound fighter in the World.
Although the fight was at a catchweight of 158 pounds (72 kg), many thought De La Hoya was too small for the weight class and Hopkins was considered a heavy favourite.
Several days before the fight, De la Hoya's hand was cut when his hand wraps were being cut off after training. The cut required eleven stitches.
De La Hoya fought a tactical fight. After eight rounds, De La Hoya was ahead 77–75 on one scorecard. He was behind 78–74 and 79–73 on the other two scorecards. In the ninth round, Hopkins knocked out De La Hoya with a left hook to the body. It was the first time in De La Hoya's career that he was knocked out.
De la Hoya later said he couldn't get up because the pain of a well placed livershot is unbearable. Despite losing, De La Hoya made over $30 million from the fight.
Bob Arum claimed De La Hoya took a dive. Although it may not have mattered as it appeared Hopkins was going to win the bout one way or another. Like Mosley, Hopkins would get a job with Golden Boy Promotions.
De La Hoya responded, "So now he's going to attack me left and right. He's going to keep saying that I took a dive against Hopkins and that I'm in this only for the money. I can't stop him from saying those things. I think he's hurt. He's hurt because I chose not to stay with him until the end of my career.
Comeback - Mayorga vs De La Hoya
De La Hoya took a layoff of 20 months before signing to fight WBC light-middleweight title-holder Ricardo Mayorga (27–5–1). In the buildup to the fight, Mayorga insulted everything from De La Hoya's sexuality to his wife and child, but when they fought on May 6, 2006, De La Hoya knocked Mayorga down in the first minute of the fight with a left hook. He knocked him out in the sixth round to take his tenth World title.
De La Hoya vs Mayweather
In early 2007, De La Hoya signed to defend his title against WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. (37–0–0)De La Hoya was a two to one underdog in the fight.
The fight took place on May 5, 2007. De La Hoya pressed throughout all the rounds, doing his best when he used his left jab. Mayweather controlled the later rounds and was ultimately rewarded with a split decision victory in front of a sold-out arena at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Chuck Giampi saw the fight 116–112 for Mayweather, while Jerry Roth also scored it for Mayweather at 115–113. Tom Kaczmarcek ruled for De La Hoya 115–113. The Associated Press had Mayweather winning 116–112.
Although Oscar was the obvious aggressor, chasing Mayweather and throwing many combinations, Mayweather dominated the stats, according to Compubox, connecting on 207 of his 481 total punches thrown. De La Hoya threw more punches 587 but landed only 122.
On May 3, 2008, at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, De La Hoya fought Steve Forbes (33–5) in a tuneup for a possible rematch with Mayweather. De La Hoya showed a more relaxed style, throwing a constant jab and always staying on his toes. He opened a cut near Forbes' eye in the sixth round.
On June 6, 2008, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. announced his retirement from boxing, effectively ending talk of a rematch.
De La Hoya vs Pacquiao
De La Hoya faced Manny Pacquiao (47–3–2) on December 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank, Inc., the bout was a twelve round non-title fight at the 147-pound (67 kg) welterweight limit. Although Manny Pacquiao went into the fight recognized as the leading pound for pound boxer in the World, some pundits speculated that 147 pounds could have been too far above his natural weight against the larger De La Hoya.
However, Pacquiao's trainer Roach was confident of a victory as he stated that De La Hoya could no longer "pull the trigger" at that stage of his career. De La Hoya, who was favoured to win the bout due to his size advantage, was expected to be the heavier of the two on fight night. However, though Pacquiao weighed 142 pounds (64 kg) and De La Hoya 145 pounds (66 kg) at the official weigh-in on Friday, De La Hoya entered the ring at 147 pounds to Pacquiao's 148.5 pounds (67.4 kg).
De La Hoya took a beating and his corner stopped the fight after the eighth round. Pacquiao was ahead on all three judges' scorecards before the stoppage, with two judges scoring the fight 80–71 and the other judge scoring it at 79–72. After the bout, Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach stated, "We knew we had him after the first round. He had no legs, he was hesitant and he was shot." Confirming Roach's pre-fight predictions that he'd grown too old, De La Hoya crossed the ring to Pacquiao's corner after the bout was stopped and told Roach, "You're right, Freddie. I don't have it anymore." When asked by reporters whether he would continue fighting, De La Hoya responded, "My heart still wants to fight, that's for sure," De La Hoya said. "But when your physical doesn't respond, what can you do? I have to be smart and make sure I think about my future plans." During the first episode of the HBO 24/7 Pacquiao–Hatton series, Roach had said he saw IV marks on De La Hoya's arm, pointing out that he needed to be rehydrated surgically as a last resort.
De La Hoya announced his retirement on April 14, 2009, ending any speculation about a potential fight with Julio César Chávez Jr.
De La Hoya was accused in a lawsuit of rape in 1998. The lawsuit, filed in San Bernardino (Calif.) County Superior Court, alleged that De La Hoya raped a woman, who was 15 at the time, in a hotel room in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in June 1996.
The case was settled out of court in 2001.
In 2000, he released a Grammy-nominated CD, entitled Oscar De La Hoya. Released through EMI International. The self-titled CD is a Latin pop album with 13 tracks in both English and Spanish written by Diane Warren and the Bee Gees.
On October 5, 2001, De La Hoya married Millie Corretjer.
They have two children together: Oscar Gabriel (born Dec. 29, 2005) and Nina Lauren Nenitte (born Dec. 29, 2007).
He also has three other children from previous relationships: a son Jacob with Toni Alvarado, a son Devon with Angelique McQueen and a daughter Atiana with Shanna Moakler.
On December 12, 2002, the Consulate General of Mexico in Los Angeles granted De La Hoya Mexican citizenship. De La Hoya stated: "I've always felt that my blood is Mexican."
In 2004, he debuted a clothing line of casual, and active-inspired apparel through Mervyns department stores. In the summer of 2004, De La Hoya starred in and hosted a boxing reality television series on Fox and Fox Sports Net titled The Next Great Champ.
In 2005, Golden Boy Enterprises announced the formation of Golden Boy Partners, a company focused on urban development in Latino communities.
This fictional picture book was the 2007 Bilingual Children's Picture Book of the year.
In 2006, De La Hoya authorized a children's picture book titled Super Oscar published by Simon & Schuster and released in his name. The book was written by noted children's author Mark Shulman and illustrated by children's illustrator Lisa Kopelke. The book tells the story of young Oscar as a daydreamer, who uses his great physical ability to prepare an elaborate picnic for his entire neighbourhood in just fifteen minutes. Written in English and Spanish, the book received unanimously positive reviews from the publishing review journals. Super Oscar was selected as the winner of the 2007 Latino Book Awards Best Bilingual Children's Picture Book of the year.
In September, 2007, De La Hoya's company Golden Boy Enterprises acquired The Ring, KO Magazine, World Boxing Magazine and Pro Wrestling Illustrated from Kappa Publishing Group.
In late 2007, photographs featuring De La Hoya cross-dressed in company of a woman not his wife were posted on a tabloid website and received extensive publicity across the internet.
De la Hoya has denied the authenticity of the photos. His lawyer stated, "The photographs depicting Mr. De La Hoya's image that were posted online today by an obscure paparazzi Web site are fake. Many of the Web site's viewers (as reflected in postings on the site) identified the photos as 'a really bad photoshop job.' Unfortunately, with today's technology, anyone can make any photo seem like something other than it is."
In September 2007, Mila Dravnel, the woman who sold the photographs, recanted her allegations against De La Hoya and denied the authenticity of the photographs. However, in May 2008, Dravnel sued De La Hoya for slander, but she dropped the lawsuit after experts determined the photographs had been digitally doctored. However, in De La Hoya's August 2011 interview with Univision, he confirmed that it was indeed him in the leaked 2007 photos.
On May 1, 2007, the Staples Center sports arena announced that a 7-foot (2.1 m) bronze statue of Oscar De La Hoya would join similar tributes to Los Angeles sports stars Magic Johnson and Wayne Gretzky at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. The statue was unveiled on December 2, 2008.

He is a member of the 2008 United States Olympic Hall of Fame.
Oscar De La Hoya is on the front covers of the PS3, Xbox 360 and PSP versions of EASports' Fight Night Round 3.

In early 2011, De La Hoya visited U.S. military personnel in Kuwait and Iraq under the auspices of the USO, holding boxing clinics and greeting the troops.
In May 2011, De La Hoya acknowledged he has a problem, but the nature of the issue was not revealed. "After doing an honest evaluation of myself, I recognize that there are certain issues that I need to work on. Like everyone, I have my flaws, and I do not want to be one of those people that is afraid to admit and address those flaws." He underwent treatment at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California for his alcoholism.
In September 2013, just a few days before the Golden Boy promoted match of Floyd Mayweather vs Saúl Álvarez, De La Hoya announced that he was returning to a drug and alcohol treatment facility to address his disease.

When I saw that September 15 was International Dot Day, I was intrigued. I thought it must be a day to celebrate the wearing of polka dots. I was wrong!
Instead, the inspiration behind this day is the children’s book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. Teacher Terry Shay introduced the book to his classroom on September 15, 2009, and the idea caught on.
According to the official website, “The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing…”
The idea behind this day is that we are all creative in some way, and sometimes it takes another’s belief in us to give us the courage to take that first step, no matter how small. In the story, Vashti discovers she is an artist, but art isn’t the only way to express creativity. Whether you long to try art, or music, or quilting, or cooking, or dancing, or writing – there is a spark in you waiting to be fanned into flames. If you want to encourage a child, or need a push yourself, this book is well worth the few minutes it takes to read. The best part of the story to me is that not only has Vashti found her own confidence, but at the end, she reaches out to help another pupil find theirs.
Look into your heart and find that creative activity you have always longed to try but were afraid you weren’t good enough. Make a start, even if is as small as a dot on a paper, and see where it takes you.
Quotes about creativity
You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.–Maya Angelou
Whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfish or too silly to work on your creativity.–Julia Cameron
When we are writing, or painting, or composing, we are, during the time of creativity, freed from normal restrictions, and are opened to a wider world, where colors are brighter, sounds clearer, and people more wondrously complex than we normally realize.–Madeleine L’Engle
When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on Earth. So what the hell, leap!–Peter McWilliams
We need creativity in order to break free from the temporary structures that have been set up by a particular sequence of experience.–Edward de Bono
We are born makers. We move what we’re learning from our heads to our hearts through our hands.–Brene Brown
The process of writing, any form of creativity, is a power intensifying life.–Rita Mae Brown
Life is creation. Self and circumstances are the raw material.–Dorothy M. Richardson
It is important to do what you don’t know how to do. It is important to see your skills as keeping you from learning what is deepest and most mysterious. If you know how to focus, unfocus. If your tendency is to make sense out of chaos, start chaos.–Carlos Casteneda
Imagination is the spark that ignites the fire of creativity.–Richard Laurence Peterson
Focus should be to encourage and develop creativity in all children without the ultimate goal begin to make all children inventors, but rather to develop a future generation of critical thinkers.–Faraq Mousa
Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.–Mae Jemison

John Perez's plan to find an undiscovered global automaker and deliver it to the United States burst into flames -- just when it was a whisker away from success. In August, after four years of waiting for Indian truckmaker Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. to get its compact diesel pickup certified for U.S. sales, Perez found himself ousted from the distribution deal he created.
Six days later, Mahindra said it had won approval from regulators in Washington to go ahead with U.S. sales of the pickup.
After quarreling for a year with Perez over his finances and marketing plans, the Indian manufacturer informed the world in a terse, unilateral announcement in August that its contract with Perez's company, Global Vehicles USA Inc., had expired.
Perez had already sued Mahindra in the United States and filed for arbitration in England by then. Most recently, Perez sent Mahindra an order for pickups -- which Mahindra rejected.
"I believe that, legally, I'm still their U.S. distributor," Perez says stoically in his deep baritone voice. "And I want trucks delivered to our dealers."
That question will be decided in court. But the story of how the plan to sell Indian pickups in the United States hit the skids is one of broken trust, fights over money -- and 347 dealers potentially left out in the cold.
Mahindra says the dealers that Perez recruited to his distributorship have no valid franchise agreement. The automaker says it will consider granting franchises to the dealers, who paid Perez up to $200,000, but is not obligated to do so. One lawyer for dealers says they may wind up suing Perez, even as he fights to keep his company -- and their franchises -- alive.
For Perez, a 63-year-old Cuban-American businessman from Atlanta, it was the second time such a deal has imploded. For more than a decade, he tried and failed to import a Romanian SUV called the Aro and later renamed the Cross Lander.
The soured relationship with Mahindra is in court in two countries. In June, before Mahindra declared the contract expired, Perez requested arbitration in London, as the contract requires, to force Mahindra to drop financial demands it was making. He then sued in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, asking a U.S. judge to force Mahindra to do business with Global Vehicles and its dealers.

POWELL REFLECTS ON HARD-FOUGHT VICTORY
Hope Powell admitted that her side put in a below-par display against Aston Villa, but was pleased to claim another three points at Culver Road.
First-half strikes from Kirsty Barton and Ini Umotong put Albion 2-0 up at the break, but Tash Baptiste pulled one back for Villa and ensured a tense end to the game for Powell’s team.
She said, “It was hard-fought and difficult. It was very challenging and credit must go to Aston Villa.
“They could’ve scored within the first minute, which really would’ve put us on the back foot and Lucy [Gillett] did really well with that one-v-one situation.
“We got to grips with the game, but made some basic silly errors and made it quite difficult for ourselves. At times we overplayed when we should’ve cleared the ball or played when we should’ve cleared it.
“It wasn’t the best day, but I think the most important thing was the three points.”
Powell felt the side didn’t get near the heights of last week’s performance and result against Doncaster Rovers Belles, but explained the games against the league’s bottom sides can often be the toughest.
“After last week’s performance and how well we did, this was always going to be a challenging game.
“I said to the players beforehand that these games you’re expecting to win are often the hardest to win.
“That was proved on Sunday, but I can’t fault the effort of the girls as they worked hard, it just wasn’t a good day in terms of football and how well we know we can play.”
Albion next face a double header against bottom club Watford before facing Durham and Millwall, and Powell stressed that the level of performance will need to improve in the coming weeks.
“It’s back to the drawing board and we go again. The performances have got to be better than that in the games we’ve got coming up.
“Watford will have pride to play for and will be battling to prove a point that they’re still capable of competing at this level, so we’ve got to be mindful of that and perform better than we did today.”

Close followers of Brew Blog (thanks, both of you! No, no, kidding) will know that Scottish beers are never far from our hearts, nor are stouts of most kinds. So it was a cheap thrill for us to spot Belhaven Brewery's "Scottish Stout" on the shelves at Central Market recently.
Many others around the Information Superhighway seem to find this offering exquisite. The beer averages an A- from 105 reviewers on BeerAdvocate, while an Examiner.com guy in Dallas labeled it "Guinness' worst nightmare.

We're not so sure. To be fair, (1) we were foolish to fall for a stout in this season, (2) we'd had a small glass of wine much earlier in the evening, with much water in between, and (3) we were recovering from a nasty canker sore.
But still. We weren't in a vegetative state. And look, to be clear, the first 75 percent of this beer was excellent. The pillowy, copious, caramel-colored head correctly foretold a smooth, creamy, vaguely chocolate-tinged beer. Carbonation was low, adding to the smoothness; this beer can be savored and drunk slowly (and the flavor was appropriate to hold in the mouth). It finished sweet without ever becoming syrupy.
But the finish, the last 25 percent, wasn't always welcome. On good sips it finished sweet, smooth, then faded to reveal a bit of roasted charcoal. Fine. Many sips didn't play out that way, however. There was too often a lingering bitterness we chalked up to the ashy, charcoal bitterness of the roasted malts (three malts, they kept telling us on the bottle). Regardless of precisely what made up that flavor, however, it wasn't all that pleasant.
It's possible we've miscalled this one. And it's not awful, it's not bad. But we don't feel wrong labeling it mediocre. Pass on this, folks, at least until the temperature drops quite a bit.

It depends on the species; most species have a breeding season during spring through summer. The longest breeding season, 14 to 16 months, belongs to the king penguin. The shortest, about 50 days, belongs to the fairy penguin which also breeds throughout the year.

There is a good deal of confusion surrounding boilers and also we have actually attempted to cover the basics right here. The size of your central heating new boiler installation boiler is dictated by the outcome you require. This is measured in terms of radiators and also hot water cylindrical tubes.
It has actually been common in the past to over size central heating boilers to make sure the central heating boiler would heat your house appropriately. One result of this is that a lot of old boilers are large. This is an extraordinary drainpipe on financing
as well as energy and nowadays boiler efficiency estimations are a lot more advanced.
There are several kinds of gas boiler where you can choose, so it's essential that you understand exactly how they differ if you're to make the ideal option for your specific requirements. It is likewise recommended that you figure out what sort of gas is available in your city if you do not already have home heating set up or you are considering altering. Requires 2 water tanks located high up one a Cold Water Storage Tank the various other a growth or feed tank, also requires a Hot Water Cylinder. The storage space clynidrical tube holds a big amount of hot water that is available promptly or as quickly as the feed enables. Nonetheless when this store has actually been used up it has to be reheated, this might take anything approximately 1 hr. This sort of system is considered the least effective as there are heat losses from the pipeline job to and from the central heating boiler to the cylinder and also the cylinder itself.
System boilers are available in 2 types, a vented reduced pressure as well as an un-vented high pressure system. Both require a Hot Water cylinder. Vented system central heating boilers need a storage tank however the majority of the various other elements are held in the device itself which indicates that installment is quicker and also less costly. Likewise, the hot main water is pumped through the system to the radiators as well as warm water cylindrical tube causing a quicker reaction and also even more affordable operating costs. Unvented system central heating boilers incorporate the devices essential to develop a closed system consisting of a stress relief valve as well as a pressure gauge, removing the demand for a feed as well as development container. Combi's are currently the most pre-owned kind of main home heating central heating boilers. Many Combi's work on mains stress water, thus do not need tanks to be put in the loft. They also eliminate the demand for a warm water cylinder as they instantly heat up the water when it is needed. An additional advantage with the combi is that, due to it running from the mains water supply, you can develop an efficient power shower without the need for a pump.
Combi boilers require the least amount of pipes therefore offer a cost conserving when setting up. Whilst all brand-new central heating central heating boilers have to meet government-set minimal criteria of running performance like cars as well as family home appliances such as washing devices, some central heating boilers operate even more financially than others ...
This is piped to your home by means of a supply firm. If you require natural gas and it has not been linked to your residence yet then it can cost a great deal of money to obtain connected. You can mount a gas central furnace yourself yet will certainly require a Corgi signed up installer to make the connection to the gas supply. Natural gas is very practical and there are a great variety of heating unit that can be powered by gas, such as combis, back boilers, wall heating units and so on. One more benefit is that you will not run out of gas for your heating. This is an alternate to natural gas where it is too expensive or not practical to get gas. LPG is provided to your home by means of big orange cylindrical tubes that stand concerning 4 feet high, you usually need two of these cylindrical tubes to be fitted with a shutoff to switch in between both as there are no determines on them to tell you exactly how full they are. LPG works in exactly similarly as natural gas however you will certainly require a boiler that can be made compatible via a conversion kit.
Oil gas a few of the most efficient central heating boilers readily available, the option of heating systems are fewer than with gas being limited to simply boilers. In most cases to run an oil central heating boiler you will certainly need a container to be mounted outside your home, these are normally big as well as really tough to disguise, you also need to comply with a range of laws visible it. An additional thing with oil is that if you let it go out then you will certainly require a heating designer to re-prime the system before you can get it functioning again. Strong gas home heating boilers are mainly restricted to back boilers, or kitchen arrays. There are some strong fuel boilers which run similarly as other fuelled boilers and use instantly fed pellets from a receptacle located outside the house (we do not supply these). Most strong gas heating systems are inefficient as they contain open fires; they additionally can be messy as well as call for cleaning out once a day at the very least. Solid gas comes in a range of kinds, coal, wood, and so on.
Till recently reliable electrical central heating was restricted to storage space heaters or blown air systems. These were both run off economical rate power supplied in the little hrs, and in many cases for a short top up duration in the mid-day. Though storage space heaters (one of the most prominent) are reasonably effective they have a trouble of getting on at all times, so if you have a warm day after a chilly day in the winter season, you will have heating although you do not require it. They are likewise susceptible to drafts which can discharge them really rapidly without a doubt. A brand-new type of electric powered heating has shown up just recently in the form of electrical heating boilers. These can straight change various other boilers in standard heater; they are very portable, light and can be run economical price electrical power. Another advantage is that they are completely silent.

I ate a lot of fish in Lent, along with the bread and vegetables...the photo is from the market in Singapore last fall.
I love the image from Rilke, which always reminds me of nestlings taking their first flight, urged on with great enthusiasm by their parents.
This column appeared in the Catholic Standard & Times on 28 April 2011.
And know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.— Mt. 28:20b
As I write this, Lent has not quite spent itself. Still, wisps of resurrection are beginning to show themselves amidst the solemn violet trappings of Holy Week. At choir last night, we practiced Pange Lingua, anticipating the stripping of the altar on Holy Thursday; half an hour later, the Easter sequence was rising. A stray alleluia escaped at Morning Prayer, even as we read from Isaiah of the suffering servant. And Mike is doing his laundry, to be sure of enough white dress shirts for the liturgies to come.
My eyes are already looking for the rising of the Son, though there is yet the passion to pass through. I’m ready to bring back the alleluias in full voice, see the church filled with light and life, and let go of my self-imposed Lenten disciplines.
A friend, a recent convert to Catholicism, asked me one morning after Mass what happens with our Lenten practices when Easter dawns. Do we end them with a sigh of relief and stop thinking about them until next Ash Wednesday?
I gave up meat this Lent; my family did not. Six days a week, I have been making steak sandwiches, dishing out sloppy joes and putting roast chicken on the table, all the while eating bread and cheese and vegetable soup. Quite aside from the challenges that has presented to my resolve, the shopping list has grown more complex, and it has made whoever cooks a bit more harried when two different menus need to land on the table simultaneously.
There was certainly a penitential aspect to my Lenten practice, a not unnecessary sense of expiation. As St. Gregory the Great recommended, “in doing penance it is necessary to deprive oneself of as many lawful pleasures as we had the misfortune to indulge in unlawful ones.” I like roast chicken, I felt deprived.
But this particular Lenten journey has provided me with something more than the chance to atone for my sins. It has been what Pope Benedict XVI called in his Lenten address of 2009 “an itinerary of intense spiritual training.”
Pope Benedict suggests the work doesn’t end with Lent. My Lenten discipline was not merely a temporary swapping of indulgence for deprivation, somehow seeking to balance the books with God. As with any sort of training, the practice is not the goal, but the means to something else. When we freely embrace self-denial, says Pope Benedict, “we make a statement that our brother or sister in need is not a stranger.” Self-denial, particularly fasting, teaches us to maintain “a welcoming and attentive attitude towards our brothers and sisters.”
This period of intense training, of a developing awareness of the difficulty of scarcity in the midst of plenty, is about to give way to the joys of Easter, but it has left me with questions to ponder amid the celebration of this season of redemption. How can I be aware of those around me who do not have what they require to meet bodily needs? In what ways can I welcome the poor into my life, as brothers and sisters, not strangers?
I leave the training of Lent behind, but not without thought for what comes next. In the words of poet Rainer Marie Rilke, “We who have been cradled close in your hands, are lavishly flung forth.” And so I go, to love and serve the Lord — and care for my sisters and brothers.
Use us and our gifts for your newness that pushes beyond all that we can say or imagine. We are grateful for words given us; we are more grateful for your word fleshed among us.
— Walter Brueggemann in Called beyond Comfort Zone

In this essay, I provide an analysis of the much-discussed authoritarian aspects of Donald Trump’s campaign and early administration. Drawing from both philosophical analyses of authoritarianism and recent work in social science, I focus on three elements of authoritarianism in particular: the authoritarian predispositions of Trump supporters, the scapegoating of racial minorities as a means of redirecting economic anxiety, and the administration’s strategic use of misinformation. While I offer no ultimate prediction as to whether a Trump administration will collapse into authoritarianism, I do identify key developments that would represent moves in that direction.
.. The unorthodox campaign and unexpected election of Donald Trump has ignited intense speculation about the possibility of an authoritarian turn in American politics. In some ways, this is not surprising. The divisive political climate in the United States is fertile soil for the demonization of political opponents. George W. Bush was regularly characterized as an authoritarian by his left opposition, as was Barack Obama by his own detractors. Yet in Trump’s case, echoes of earlier forms of authoritarianism, from his xenophobic brand of nationalism and reliance on a near mythological revisionist history, to his vilification of the press and seemingly strategic use of falsehoods, appear too numerous to ignore. In this essay, I attempt to provide a sober evaluation of the authoritarian prospects of a Trump administration.
.. I focus on three elements of authoritarianism in particular:
- the authoritarian predispositions of Trump supporters,
- the scapegoating of racial minorities as a means of redirecting economic anxiety, and
- the administration’s strategic use of misinformation.
.. the strategic use of misinformation plays a role in “activating” authoritarian predispositions.
.. my view is that identifying the most statistically significant predictor of supporting authoritarian regimes, or their single most salient causal factor, is less important than attaining a wide-ranging view of their central attributes, thus developing the outlines of a standard by which to judge the Trump and other administrations. Accordingly, while I offer no ultimate prediction as to whether a Trump administration will collapse into authoritarianism, I do identify key developments that would represent moves in that direction.
.. AUTHORITARIANISM AMONG TRUMP SUPPORTERS
If Trump is an authoritarian, then his is a populist authoritarianism, a form of rule in which “a strong, charismatic, manipulative leader rules through a coalition involving key lower-class groups” (Gasiorowski 2006, 111). Thus any study of Trump’s alleged authoritarianism cannot neglect the nature of his appeal to his core supporters, nor the fact that he was propelled to power by a groundswell of support that was largely unanticipated by the Republican establishment that ultimately – though with great initial reservation – nominated him as their party’s presidential candidate.
.. Fortunately, scholarship on authoritarianism has historically emphasized the importance of understanding its psychological appeal, and thereby focused on not just authoritarian rulers and governments themselves, but on their core supporters.
.. Adorno et al.’s study on The Authoritarian Personality (1950) provided the model for this sort of approach, and offers a more general definition of authoritarianism. Adorno et al. identified a number of personality traits that were correlated to
- anti-Semitism, and
- “anti-democratic” attitudes.
.. Grounded in Freudian psychology, these researchers ultimately located support for authoritarian regimes and policies in childhood pathologies that resulted in rigid adherence to simplified worldviews, strict obedience to authority figures, and fear and distrust of those who do not share this same orientation to the world.
.. while this particular study has been criticized both for its reliance on empirically questionable Freudian presuppositions and for methodological errors (Stenner 2005; Hetherington and Weiler 2009; Christie and Jahoda 1954), the core idea of an authoritarian personality type remains influential, and continues to be developed and refined by social scientists.
.. Matthew MacWilliams has recently utilized such a revised authoritarian personality measure to study Trump supporters, and claims as a result of his study that a predisposition to authoritarianism is the single most statistically significant predictor of support for Trump, more significant than
- level of education, or
- other commonly cited correlates (2016).
.. MacWillams used a serious of questions about childrearing that have been shown to capture not only active authoritarian views, but the predisposition to having such views “activated” by threat
.. MacWilliams’ results have been challenged by Wendy Rahn and Eric Oliver (2016), whose own research showed greater predispositions to authoritarianism among supporters of Ted Cruz than among Trump supporters.
.. claim that anti-elitist populism, manifested in distrust of experts and political elites is the more significant factor that distinguished Trump supporters from supporters of other Republican contenders. But even if Cruz was the preferred candidate of those predisposed to authoritarianism, their study still revealed high levels of authoritarianism in Trump supporters as well.
.. One might expect authoritarians to submit to the authority of political and other elites, but this misses the fact that authoritarians do not view all forms of authority equally. As MacWilliams puts it:
authoritarians’ sense of order is not necessarily or solely defined by worldly powers. To authoritarians, there are higher powers that delineate right from wrong and good from evil. There are transcendent ways of behaving and being that are enduring, everlasting, and the root of balance and order. These authorities are “morally and ontologically superior” to state or institutional authority and must be obeyed. (2016, 14)
.. If the actions of social and political elites are viewed as being inconsistent with these higher sources of authority, if they are viewed as unconventional outsiders aiming to upend traditional values, and so on, there is no inconsistency in authoritarians resisting them or their claims to authority. This is precisely the reason that “populist authoritarianism” is not a contradiction in terms
.. the study of authoritarianism has historically been plagued by difficulties in disentangling it from conservative political ideologies.
.. one of the advantages of approaches that focus on child-rearing is that they are supposed to get behind ideological commitments and political beliefs.
.. “authoritarianism is a predisposition that arises causally prior to the political attitudes and behavior that it affects”
.. in order to understand the distinctiveness of a Trump presidency, we must look at the actions and ideologies of Trump himself, and of his campaign and administration, in addition to the psychological predispositions of his supporters.
.. With this in mind, I now turn to one such tendency of Trump’s governing strategy: the tendency toward racial scapegoating.
.. While MacWilliams presents authoritarianism as an alternative to explanations that focus specifically on race and the alleged racial resentment of many Trump supporters, it is clear that the two factors are not mutually exclusive. In fact, one of the key features of authoritarianism is its fear and suspicion of those who are different
.. helps especially to clarify how exactly populist authoritarian leaders manipulate “key lower class groups.” Trump’s campaign certainly employed this strategy, effectively playing upon the anxieties of the white working class regarding their perceived cultural marginalization in the face of the increasing racial diversity of the United States.
.. Yet analyses of Trump’s rise that focus specifically on racial resentment often neglect the economic dimension of Trump’s support among the white working classes.
.. geographical locations where Trump found the most support are areas where traditional sources of employment have been rendered obsolete or moved overseas, where free trade agreements like NAFTA are viewed with suspicion, and where the social effects of economic marginalization manifested in things like drug addiction have wreaked havoc
.. The economic marginalization of a subset of the white working class provides fertile ground for racial scapegoating
.. In Dialectic of Enlightenment, Horkheimer and Adorno aimed to show that German anti-Semitism was intentionally cultivated as a means of redirecting discontent arising from economic exploitation. In their words, German anti-Semitism served a specific purpose: “to conceal domination in production”
.. While European Jews had historically been excluded from ownership of major industries, they had, according to Horkheimer, Adorno, and other social theorists of the time including Hannah Arendt (1976), achieved some success integrating the “circulation sphere,” including what we would now call the financial sector, as well as small business ownership. This social position made the Jew an easy scapegoat for the most basic injustice of capitalism, the extraction of surplus value, i.e. profit, from the wage-laborer.
.. The exploitation that they attribute to the Jew is really a projection of their own exploitative nature, and in unleashing violence against these substitute exploiters, the masses feel a false sense of emancipation, while remaining within the established “reality principle” of capitalist exploitation.
.. Horkheimer and Adorno’s theory also describes the way that this form of scapegoating relied on what contemporary race theorists call “racialization” – the transformation of a social group into a racial group
.. Prior to the early twentieth century, and even in the earlier writings of critical theorists (Horkheimer 1989), the “Jewish question” was primarily considered to be a matter of cultural and religious difference.
.. German fascism understood Jewishness first and foremost in racial terms, thus distancing itself from the “liberal thesis” which held that “the Jews, free of national or racial features, form a group through religious belief and tradition and nothing else”
.. The Nuremburg Laws, for example, like the so-called “one drop rule” in the United States, included precise specifications of who was to count as a Jew, in order to eliminate any element of voluntary self-identification (or, perhaps more to the point, dis-identification). In this way, the group targeted for scapegoating is identified and fixed in a more or less stable form.
.. The key idea is simply that scapegoating occurs as a response to a real economic crisis, which results in political dissent of a sort that threatens the vested interests of those who hold economic power, which is then redirected toward vulnerable minority groups.
.. Scapegoating of this sort has certainly played some role in Trump’s rise to power. White working class communities that have experienced
- the loss of low-skill manufacturing jobs,
- decreasing tax revenue,
- crumbling infrastructure, and
- general social anomie have proven incredibly
responsive to explanations that link these phenomena to the (perceived) influx of immigrants from the south.
.. Growing white anxiety about misleading reports that whites will soon become a minority in the United States due to increased immigration from non-European nations compounds these economic fears
.. This shows that it is not immigration per se that worries Trump supporters, but a racialized immigration that challenges white control over power and resources.
.. Authoritarian predispositions are “activated” by threat, and scapegoating represents targeted groups as both economic and existential threats. Mexicans not only threaten “our” jobs, but are also represented as murderers, rapists and all around “bad hombres,” responsible for (fictional) increases in crime and disorder.
.. Their perceived threat to law and order is surpassed only by those from the Arab world, who are equated with terrorism and “radical Islam.” Such threats must be rooted out by any means necessary, and so racial profiling and increasingly invasive police practices are tolerated within our borders, and broadly restrictive immigration measures, physical barriers, and other imprecise responses are promoted as a means of fortifying them.
.. While it is true that these forms of scapegoating target minority identities that are not technically racial (at least not by the United States’ own official system of racial classification), there is a gap between “official” and popular understandings of race when it comes to Arabic Muslims and “Hispanic” groups. For example, the myriad reports of impending white minority almost always focus on non-Hispanic whites as the relevant demographic for measuring
.. And even if Trump supporters’ aversions to Arabs or Muslims appear to be primarily cultural or religious aversions, the rarity of distinguishing between culture, region, and religion in the discourses surrounding immigration from the Middle East demonstrate the increasing racialization of this group
.. that Hispanics and Arabs are commonly thought of as being racially distinct from non-Hispanic, non-Arab whites.
.. As tools like the Census are integral to defining and categorizing populations as “racial,” it will be interesting to see how a Trump administration approaches the 2020 Census, and in particular whether some effort is made to distinguish Arabs and Middle-Eastern populations from “whites.”
.. Finally, new research suggests that it is not just economic marginalization, but economic inequality in general that contributes to authoritarian attitudes, which in turn make their possessors amenable to racial scapegoating. The “relative power” theory of Frederick Solt holds that economic inequality leads to inequality in power and thereby produces hierarchy. This hierarchy in turn “mak[es] experiences that reinforce vertical notions of authority more common and so authoritarianism more widespread”
.. if the economic structure of a society requires or rewards submission to the authority of employers, benefactors, and those with more economic power, this sort of subservience is likely to be seen as normal, and thereby transferred to the sphere of political (or familial) authority, where it can be exploited to support xenophobic policies that purport to address complex social and economic issues.
.. societies with a high degree of economic inequality will produce heightened levels of authoritarian predispositions, and that these heightened authoritarian predispositions are more easily activated in times of economic or political crisis
.. Given that capitalism is prone to both extreme inequality and frequent crisis, it is fair to say that it will reliably produce such authoritarian attitudes, especially in those that become economically marginalized. Scapegoating will thus appear as an easy solution to any legitimation crisis that might arise.
.. A final, much discussed feature of Trump’s alleged authoritarianism is his seeming indifference to truth.
.. Trump is by no means the first politician to employ a strategy of deceit and falsehood. But generally, politicians lie through omission, or in ways that can be easily retracted or reinterpreted.
.. Trump’s cavalier and easily repudiated use of falsehoods regarding matters large and small has struck many observers as unique.
.. Arendt claims that authoritarian regimes are marked by their “extreme contempt for facts
.. “the chief qualification of a mass leader has become unending infallibility; he can never admit an error”
.. Yet the authoritarian orientation to the truth is misunderstood, she claims, if it is viewed as an attempt at factual accuracy. Rather, the “propaganda effect” of such pronunciations consists in their “habit of announcing their political intentions in the form of prophesy”
.. Once authoritarian rulers attain power, “all debate about the truth or falsity of a … prediction is as weird as arguing with a potential murderer about whether his future victim is dead or alive”
.. The baseless claim that three-to-five million undocumented immigrants voted illegally in the general election, for example, was taken by some as “telegraphing his administration’s intent to provide cover for longstanding efforts by Republicans to suppress minority voters by purging voting rolls, imposing onerous identification requirements and curtailing early voting”
.. Trump also claimed that the U.S. murder rate was at a 47 year high when it was actually at a 45 year low, and his Attorney General Jeff Sessions repeated similarly false claims about increasing crime rates
.. these claims serve both to shore up obedience in general and to signal an intent to “get tough” on crime, continuing the legacy of criminalization that undergirds the repression of minority groups
.. But perhaps most troubling, and less discussed, are the claims that look more like “prophesy” than assertion. For example, when a federal judge issued a stay on his Executive Order temporarily banning travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, Trump tweeted “just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!” (Trump 2017). While the claim that people were “pouring in” could be disputed on factual grounds, the more important aspect of this message is found in its prophetic character, and the precedent it sets for blaming the judiciary for any future attack that might occur. Given the high likelihood of some act of terrorism occurring at some point in Trump’s presidency, this message sets the groundwork for consolidating power in a truly authoritarian fashion.
.. public approval ratings of Congress remain at historic lows. This demonstrates a lack of faith in the effectiveness of the legislative branch of government. If faith in the judiciary were similarly undermined, the stage would be set for reigning in its powers, and undermining the system of checks and balances designed to prevent autocracy.
.. One might identify as key features of authoritarianism (as a political system, as opposed to a psychological predisposition)
- the consolidation of executive power,
- the elimination of effective checks on that power from legislatures,
- judiciaries, and
- the press,
- repression of opposition parties, and
- repression of political opposition more broadly.
.. Trump’s early administration does not seem to have consolidated power or repressed dissent in this way. To the contrary, his actions appear to have produced levels of dissent, protest, and pushback, from citizens, from the media, from opposing political parties, and in some cases even from the Republican Party itself, not seen in the United States in some time. Perhaps this indicates that worries about Trump ushering in an era of authoritarian repression and control are exaggerated.
.. It does seem unlikely that a Trump administration will succeed in outlawing the Democratic Party, disbanding Congress, or replacing independent journalism with state-sponsored channels of propaganda. For this reason, it seems premature to declare the Trump administration definitively authoritarian. However, it is equally unwise to ignore Trump’s clear pretensions to authoritarianism: his disdain for judges and legislators alike, his attempts to delegitimize protest and resistance with conspiratorial fantasies of shadowy puppet masters, paid operatives, and terrorist infiltrators, and his attempts to exclude certain news media from White House press briefings, to bypass journalistic channels entirely, communicating with the public through Twitter, and to create his own news organization. If some of Trump’s intentions and preferred methods of rule are indeed authoritarian, this is reason enough to pay close attention to changes in the political environment that might create possibilities to introduce such methods.
.. For example, Trump has already flirted with the dangerous possibility of simply disregarding judicial review of his policies. When the first federal judges issued a temporary stay on Trump’s January 27th travel ban, the Department of Homeland Security originally announced its intention to continue to enforce the provisions of the order in spite of the early rulings. Thankfully, the administration changed course as public outrage grew and additional decisions reinforced and expanded the initial rulings.
.. But it is easy to imagine that if public opinion turned against the judiciary (perhaps as a result of acts of terrorism as prophesied by Trump’s tweet), such a strategy of disregard might appear more feasible to Trump’s administration.
.. A major terrorist attack on the United States would also provide a convenient premise for expanding executive power and restricting the constitutional rights of citizens, following precedents set in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
.. Authoritarian regimes appeal to the authoritarian inclinations of their supporters, and such inclinations do appear to be present at significant levels among Trump’s supporters. These inclinations make Trump supporters amenable to policies and explanations that scapegoat vulnerable racial minorities (as well as contribute to the “racialization” of groups that were previously not thought to be racially distinct), and that redirect attention away from the structural economic causes of their increasing marginalization.
.. And finally, Trump’s strategic use of falsehoods points to their “prophetic” character as predictions rather than truth claims, intended to construct ideological grounds for rationalizing future actions, as Arendt describes. Citizens and political analysts alike should continue to monitor these elements of the Trump administration, and to guard against their expanded use and exploitation.
In his first 400 days in office, President Trump made more than 2,400 false or misleading claims, according to The Washington Post. Yet a recent Gallup poll shows his approval ratings among Republicans at 82 percent. How do we square these two facts?
- Some supporters no doubt believe many of the falsehoods.
- Others may recognize the claims as falsehoods but tolerate them as a side effect of an off-the-cuff rhetorical style they admire.
- Or perhaps they have become desensitized to the dishonesty by the sheer volume of it.
I suspect that there is an additional, underappreciated explanation for why Mr. Trump’s falsehoods have not generated more outrage among his supporters. Wittingly or not, Mr. Trump’s representatives have used a subtle psychological strategy to defend his falsehoods: They encourage people to reflect on how the falsehoods could have been true.
New research of mine suggests that this strategy can convince supporters that it’s not all that unethical for a political leader to tell a falsehood — even though the supporters are fully aware the claim is false.
- When President Trump retweeted a video falsely purporting to show a Muslim migrant committing assault, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, defended him by saying, “Whether it’s a real video, the threat is real.”
- On another occasion, Ms. Sanders admitted that Mr. Trump had made up a story about how Japan drops bowling balls on American cars to test their safety, but she argued that the story still “illustrates the creative ways some countries are able to keep American goods out of their markets.”
When asked about the false claim that Mr. Trump’s inauguration had drawn the biggest inaugural crowd in history, Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, suggested that inclement weather had kept people away.
In each instance, rather than insisting the falsehood was true, Ms. Sanders and Ms. Conway implied it could have been true. Logically speaking, the claim that more people could have attended the president’s inauguration in nicer weather does not make the crowd any bigger. But psychologically, it may make the falsehood seem closer to the truth and thus less unethical to tell.
.. Some claims, like the falsehood about the inauguration crowd, appealed to Mr. Trump’s supporters, and some appealed to his opponents: for instance, a false report (which circulated widely on the internet) that Mr. Trump had removed a bust of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office.
.. All the participants were asked to rate how unethical it was to tell the falsehoods. But half the participants were first invited to imagine how the falsehood could have been true if circumstances had been different. For example, they were asked to consider whether the inauguration would have been bigger if the weather had been nicer, or whether Mr. Trump would have removed the bust if he could have gotten away with it.
.. reflecting on how a falsehood could have been true did cause people to rate it as less unethical to tell — but only when the falsehoods seemed to confirm their political views. Trump supporters and opponents both showed this effect.
.. Again, the problem wasn’t that people confused fact and fiction; virtually everyone recognized the claims as false. But when a falsehood resonated with people’s politics, asking them to imagine counterfactual situations in which it could have been true softened their moral judgments. A little imagination can apparently make a lie feel “truthy” enough to give the liar a bit of a pass.
These results reveal a subtle hypocrisy in how we maintain our political views. We use different standards of honesty to judge falsehoods we find politically appealing versus unappealing. When judging a falsehood that maligns a favored politician, we ask, “Was it true?” and then condemn it if the answer is no.
.. In contrast, when judging a falsehood that makes a favored politician look good, we are willing to ask, “Could it have been true?” and then weaken our condemnation if we can imagine the answer is yes.
.. In this time of “fake news” and “alternative facts,” commentators worry that people with different political orientations base their judgments of right and wrong on entirely different perceptions of reality. My research suggests an additional concern: Even when partisans agree on the facts, they can come to different moral conclusions about the dishonesty of deviating from those facts. The result is more disagreement in an already politically polarized world.
Mueller’s team says in the court papers that Corsi scrubbed his computer between Jan. 13, 2017, and March 1, 2017, deleting all email correspondence that predated Oct. 11, 2016, including the messages from Stone about WikiLeaks and Corsi’s email to Malloch.
.. Corsi remained in contact with Stone in 2017 when the former Trump adviser’s connections to WikiLeaks came under investigation by the FBI and congressional committees, according to the draft court papers.
On Nov. 30, 2017, Stone emailed Corsi asking him to write about a person whom Stone had told congressional investigators was his “source” or “intermediary” to WikiLeaks, according to the draft court papers.
Corsi and Stone have identified that person as Randy Credico, a radio host and one-time friend of Stone.
“Are you sure you want to make something out of this now?” Corsi responded, according to the draft court papers. “Why not wait to see what (Credico) does? You may be defending yourself too much — raising new questions that will fuel new inquiries. This may be a time to say less, not more.”.. Corsi, the former Washington bureau chief of the conspiracy theory outlet InfoWars, has told NBC News that he had no direct or indirect contact with WikiLeaks. Corsi claims to have anticipated WikiLeaks’ release of the hacked emails by “connecting the dots” between public statements from Assange and other available materials... But in a letter drafted by Gray and addressed to Mueller’s team, Corsi’s lawyer argued that he should not be charged with a crime based on a faulty memory.
“I understand that this plea to making a false claim is predicated on the fact that Dr. Corsi had emails and phone calls wherein he was in fact interested in WikiLeaks,” Gray wrote... Gray also noted that if Corsi were to plead guilty, he would have to give up his securities license and cease his online chats until sentencing, depriving him of crucial sources of income.
Daniel Goldman, a former federal prosecutor who is now a legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, said the documents suggest that Mueller has more on Corsi than is laid out in the draft court papers.
.. “Based on reviewing these documents, I believe that the office of the special counsel may have more evidence of criminal wrongdoing by Corsi beyond the false statements, and that is why they engaged in plea negotiations,” Goldman said.
“He is a clear target of the investigation,” Goldman added.
.. “Since when did gossip become a criminal offense? Where is the WikiLeaks collaboration? Where is the evidence that I received anything whatsoever from WikiLeaks and passed it on to Donald Trump? These emails prove nothing other than the fact that Jerry Corsi is an aggressive investigative reporter.”
“I was very clear when I was in charge of the campaign, Michael was not somebody who we wanted at the campaign,” Lewandowski said. “He would go out and make statements that we had to walk back afterwards because he would say things which were factually untrue. I warned everybody at the organization that Michael was going to become a problem.”
The Clinton campaign paid Fusion GPS to compile a dossier against Mr. Trump, a document that became the basis of the Russia narrative Mr. Mueller now investigates. But the campaign funneled the money to law firm Perkins Coie, which in turn paid Fusion. The campaign falsely described the money as payment for “legal services.” The Democratic National Committee did the same. A Perkins Coie spokesperson has claimed that neither the Clinton campaign nor the DNC was aware that Fusion GPS had been hired to conduct the research, and maybe so. But a lot of lawyers here seemed to have been ignoring a clear statute, presumably with the intent of influencing an election
.. But under this standard, where are the charges against the principals of Fusion GPS, who Sen. Chuck Grassley has said look to have been lobbying on behalf of powerful Russians against a U.S. sanctions law, with its payment again funneled through a law firm? This was a sideline to its dossier work, but Mr. Mueller usually has no issue with sideline charges.
.. Or what about an evenhanded look at dossier author Christopher Steele ? FARA also requires foreigners to register if they act on behalf of a foreign principal. Recently disclosed emails from senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr show the British Mr. Steele pleading the case to the Justice Department on behalf of a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska.
Of the seven U.S. citizens Mr. Mueller has charged, five have been accused of (among other things) making false statements to federal officials. But there have been no charges against the partisans who made repeated abjectly false claims to the FBI and Justice Department about actions of their political opponents. There have been no charges against those who leaked classified information, including the unprecedented release of an unmasked n between former national security adviser Mike Flynn and a Russian ambassador. Nothing.
Some of these charges might not stand up in court, but that’s beside the point. Plenty of lawyers would poke holes in the campaign-finance charges against Cohen, or the “lying” charges against Mr. Flynn. Special counsels wield immense power; the mere threat of a charge provokes plea deals. It’s the focus that matters.
Prosecutors can claim all they want that they are applying the law equally, but if they only apply it to half the suspects, justice is not served. Mr. Mueller seems blind to the national need for—the basic expectation of—a thorough look into all parties. That omission is fundamentally undermining any legitimacy in his findings. Lady Justice does not wear a blindfold over only one eye.
They point out that the president says many things that are not just inaccurate but knowingly false. In maintaining that there are no perjury traps, what they are really arguing is that Trump does not need to be “trapped” into perjury; that his lawyers’ claims about Mueller’s treacherousness are a smokescreen to hide their real worry: viz., that Trump will lie in the interview because that is what Trump does.
If that is what they think, then that is what they should say. It’s a perfectly coherent position, especially if one is predisposed to believe that Trump is incorrigible, and that he conspired with Russia to steal the election, then obstructed the FBI in order to cover it up.
But see, for charging purposes, the witness who answers the questions does not get to decide whether they have been answered truthfully. That is up to the prosecutor who asks the questions. The honest person can make his best effort to provide truthful, accurate, and complete responses; but the interrogator’s evaluation, right or wrong, determines whether those responses warrant prosecution... There were some discrepancies between Flynn’s account of the discussions and the FBI’s understanding of them (we’ll come back to why). Did that necessarily mean Flynn lied? Of course not. To take the most obvious possibility, Flynn could have had an innocent failure of recollection. It happens to all of us; it would happen to you if you tried to describe this this column to someone without having a copy of it in hand.
The investigators and prosecutors had to weigh whether Flynn’s discrepancies were honest mistakes or conscious misstatements. It appears that the first set of investigators gave him the benefit of the doubt, but Mueller’s team drew the opposite conclusion. Yes, Flynn ultimately pled guilty, but when highly experienced investigators assess the same basic facts differently, the matter cannot be black-and-white.
.. The conversations happened months before the FBI asked him about them, so could he simply have remembered them wrong? Sure . . . but the investigators decided otherwise because Papadopoulos had a strong motive to fudge the timing: The conversations would seem innocuous if they’d happened before he joined the Trump campaign, but possibly sinister if after he joined, as was in fact the case. The fact that this was a sensible conclusion hardly makes it an ineluctable one.
.. In his fourth day on the job as national-security adviser, Flynn had every reason to believe Strzok was there to talk business, not because Flynn was a suspect. Flynn did not have a lawyer present. We do not know whether Strzok advised him of his Miranda rights (which is often done even when, as in Flynn’s situation, it is not legally required because the suspect is not in custody). Here’s what we do know: The Justice Department and FBI were so hot to make a criminal case on Flynn that they used the Logan Act — an unconstitutional blight on the penal code that has never been used to convict anyone in over 200 years — as a pretext to investigate him.
.. And what did they ask him about? Conversations of which they had recordings. Why on earth would it be necessary to interrogate someone — let alone a top government national-security official — regarding the details of conversations about which the FBI already knew the details? Why conduct an investigative interview, carrying potential criminal peril, under circumstances in which the FBI already knew
.. We don’t know for certain that the Flynn interview was a perjury trap. But it sure looks like one. And regardless of whether Flynn pled guilty because he is guilty (or because enormous pressure, such as the possibility of charging his son, was put on him), we also know that the question of whether to prosecute him was a judgment call — one on which Mueller aggressively said yes, when others had said no.
.. What we refer to as a “perjury” trap covers both perjury and false statements. The difference between the two is more form than substance. To oversimplify a bit, perjury is a lie under oath; a false statement or material omission is a lie told to government investigators when no oath has been administered; the potential sentence for both is zero to five years’ imprisonment.
.. Successful perjury traps do not get prosecuted all that often. But that does not mean perjury traps are uncommon. They tend to be used more for leverage than to prosecute as a stand-alone charge. A prosecutor who knows a reluctant witness will lie elicits the lie and then exploits the resulting specter of prosecution — along with other leverage points — to pressure the witness into spilling the beans. Or, in a jury trial, the prosecutor who suspects a defense witness will lie, sets the trap, elicits the lie, and then blows it up — not to lay the groundwork for a future perjury charge but to destroy the witness’s credibility, which helps win the trial.
As president, Donald Trump has uttered more than 4,000 falsehoods or misleading statements. And the spokespeople and advisers tasked with squaring Trump’s version of reality with actual reality must often contort themselves accordingly.
.. On Sunday, they tried a couple of new tacks: asserting that “facts develop” and saying that the president “misspoke” — while saying something he has said dozens of times.
.. George Stephanopoulos challenged the president’s personal attorney Jay Sekulow on two past, disproven assurances that Trump hadn’t authored the initial, misleading statement about it. (That statement said the meeting was “primarily” about the adoption of Russian children.)
.. Facts might have “developed” from Sekulow’s perspective, but the actual events never changed. Either Trump didn’t tell him the truth about his role in drafting that statement, or Sekulow and Sanders offered assurances that were basically made-up. That “bad information” came from somewhere — either Trump or thin air.
.. John Bolton offered another extremely hard-to-stomach explanation for Trump’s soft stance toward Vladimir Putin on Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election, saying Trump merely “misspoke”:
.. why not stand there right alongside Putin, with the whole world watching and say, we are not going to stand for any more meddling?
BOLTON: Well, as the president said, he misspoke.
.. Trump has also said that he misspoke at the news conference with Putin — but not at this juncture. He said that when he said “I don’t see any reason why it would be” Russia, he meant to say wouldn’t instead.
As the video clip Wallace played shows, that was hardly the only moment in the joint news conference with Putin in which Trump played down the idea that Russia interfered. Bolton was responding not to Trump saying “I don’t see any reason why it would be” Russia but to his insistence that “President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today.” Trump has never said he misspoke about that.
.. And that really gives lie to this whole thing. Trump has downplayed Putin’s interference so many times over the past 18 months that he would have had to be misspeaking almost constantly. It’s clear what he truly believes or at least wants to convey — even if aides can occasionally reel him back in slightly.
.. each and every one of them also has the side effect of undermining the credibility of the spokespeople who, in neither of these cases, must truly believe the things they are saying.

Focke-Wulf FW-190 a5
June 23, 2012 3 Comments
I start most of my projects because I see something brilliant by another builder, and then I decided to develop this idea, or give the idea little more substance. After discovering a great two row radial, I wanted to give the engine a body. It had also been a long time since I had done a large project.
I chose to make the FW-190 for a couple of reasons. First, it had a radial. OK, 14 cylinders in the plane, and mine would only have 12, but it was close enough. Second, it was one of my favorire plane of WWII. Third, the body work would not present too many challenges. I set to work. I had to get the scale right, and start placing some of the plane’s extremities, so I would have a good idea where to place all the parts that I would build.
Once everything was placed, I had to figure out how I was going to do all the control surfaces. This started with figuring out the joystick, and the rudders. The joystick was a simple design driving side to side movements out the front by an axle to gears for the ailerons. When the joystick was moved front to back, a link all the way to the rear elevator was activated. I mounted the foot pedals on a simple pivot connected by gears to the rear rudder. Flaps, with a simple activating lever, were also installed. The cockpit was pretty full.
With a project this size, it took a great deal of work to get the shaping of the plane to work right. I used half stud offsets to get the fuselage correct, and spent a lot of time on the wings. Because the cockpit had a lot of activating levers, a lot of work went into the area around here. Adding the opening canopy did not help things. I added brick built markings, worked on the coloring, and spent some time adding guns and other details. The model was done.
Brickshelf.com gallery is here.
It’s been three years since I have built this plane, but I needed a little motivation to help me with another similar project. It was good for me to remember how much I enjoyed this project, even though it took a lot of time and energy. Stay tuned for the next big plane.

Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior | Live Like Washington
Human beings admire those with dignity and grace. No matter how far the public taste strays into an ocean of trash, social graces are a braided rope thrown from the shores of home.
Do as George did
In saying this, I don’t mean that we should all go to finishing school to prepare for our high society coming-out parties before Lindsay Lohan pulls us beneath the waves like the Creature from the Black Lagoon. No, I’m talking about how we conduct ourselves. If we want to be treated with respect, it wouldn’t hurt to do as George Washington did. He studied “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation.” He transcribed these 110 rules to live by when he was a boy.
He was the Father of Our Country
David Brooks writes in the New York Times op-ed piece “In Search of Dignity” that Washington’s rules of civility were difficult to follow, but he worked hard to cultivate them throughout his life. Historian Gordon Wood recognizes the efforts of America’s first president when he writes that “Washington became a great man and was acclaimed as a classical hero because of the way he conducted himself during times of temptation. It was his moral character that set him off from other men.”
About human beings
This code Washington strove to follow was based on the same underlying idea that informs the United States Constitution: that human beings are flawed and must work to govern their passions. The belief is that artificial systems of government must be in place to help regulate unchecked desires or chaos will reign. Do not give in to personal interests over those of the greater good, do not carry on in public and treat rashness with healthy skepticism. Rely on yourself first. Be polite to others. It’s all part of the code.
America lacks manners[ad_block type=”horizontal” float=”left”]
So what’s the point that Brooks is trying to make here, aside from the fact that too many people like to play with Lindsay in the muck? The “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation” and any dignity code they spawned are all but gone. Brooks blames shameless self-promotion; flinging our feelings around like Jackson Pollock’s paint; confessing everything to everyone (no matter how inane); and “radical egalitarianism,” with its negative view of high manners.
Violators of the code
We see violators of the code every day. Arrests, scandals, embarrassing drunks in bars and co-workers who must tell you about their random and sundry rashes. But the ones that stumble into the media spotlight make for an interesting study. Mark Sanford offers no apology to his wife or South Carolina constituency during his press conference. He rambles on and hopes the gloss of a book – a book – will blind others to his titanic failing and complete lack of personal dignity. Michael Jackson lives in perpetual childhood and pain unto death, then the world feeds on the carcass. Then Sarah Palin comes forward to resign from the Alaska governorship. She expects us to be inspired by her authority and trust, but she actively works to stir attention in the tabloids. Learn how to behave with dignity and you will be treated with dignity. Homespun charm isn’t enough.
Governing your passions
Do you fly through your life in pursuit of one passion after the next, without any real steering mechanism? Try some of the “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation” on for size. The roots of dignity and ethics are there, but you have to plant them in order to make them work in your own life. How you do that is up to you. One financial piece of advice I’d offer is that instead of running up a credit card bill you pay off over time (hence paying a lot more money than you needed in the first place), try payday loans and unsecured loans instead. One-time fee of $15 to $30 per $100 loaned is typical and inexpensive.
Then there is Barack
Brooks likes to point out that not all celebrities lack dignity. Whatever disagreements you may have over some of his policies, President Obama “exemplifies reticence, dispassion and the other traits associated with dignity,” writes Brooks. Will Barack Obama bring dignity back to a country that badly needs it?

While other state-owned banks were in bad financial condition, Janata Bank was in good shape. There was a balance between their capital and loans. The bank had also done quite well.
But after the Awami League government came to power in 2009, the default loans kept growing due to political appointments in the board of directors of this bank, as in other state-owned banks.
The situation took such a turn that at one point a special allocation had to be made in the budget to run the state-owned banks.
While the situation improved somewhat, the default loans in Janata Bank continued to increase because of haphazard disbursement of loans. The bank couldn’t recover due to the chairman’s whims and the managing director’s nepotism.
When Abdus Salam Azad took responsibility of the bank as the managing director back in 2017, the amount of loan disbursed by the bank was Tk 459.58 billion (45,958 crore). The amount of default loan among that was Tk 76 billion (7,600 crore).
Now the bank’s loan disbursement has increased to Tk 852.06 billion (85,206 crore) and the default loan has rose to Tk 143.87 billion (14,387 crore). That means the loan disbursement and default loan has almost doubled in the past five and a half years.
There’s a law that more than 25 per cent of the capital cannot be lent to a single group. If loans more than that is disbursed, it turns into a huge risk for the bank. Abdus Salam Azad’s tenure is ending on this 29 April.
Incumbent managing director without taking responsibility of the bank’s condition wants to blame it onto the former chairman and managing directors. Meanwhile, former officials say, they did everything according to rules. Then who’s responsible for this situation?
As reported by Prothom Alo, AnonTex, Crescent Group and quite a few influential businessmen are the top loan defaulters of Janata Bank. Among these loan defaulters, there are also such businessmen who have tried to buy out the topmost loan defaulter’s company getting the bank interest to be waived.
It’s not that loan scams have happened only in Janata bank during the tenure of the current government. There have been loan scams in Sonali Bank and Basic Bank too. Also, there are allegations that so called entrepreneurs and politically influential people have taken billions of taka in loans and have siphoned them off abroad.
Banks are monetary institutions run of several rules and regulations. The bank authorities will give loans only to those from whom they can recollect the loan. Banks are bound to go bankrupt if they lend based on other considerations or political influence.
The amount of default loans in state-owned banks is skyrocketing excessively, but has any chairman, board member or managing director been held accountable for that? If they had been, then the officials of Sonali Bank, Basic Bank and Janata Bank would not have been exempted of liabilities like this.
Even if the issue of bank loan scam sometimes escalates to a lawsuit, invisible strings do away with such cases. It needs to be investigated whether something like that is happening in the case of Janata Bank as well.
Another major setback in running state-owned banks is dual governance. As the guardian institution, it is Bangladesh Bank that monitors the matter of income and expenses of these banks.
But for the unwarranted interference of the Financial Institutions Division of the finance ministry, it is not possible to take legal action on their part as well. For the state-owned banks to be run properly, dual governance too needs to end.

Riot mistakenly reported at York County Jail
Miscommunication between jail, dispatch led to confusion
Several law enforcement officers were called to the York County Jail Wednesday night after about 30 inmates refused to return to their cells.
York County Sheriff William King says the inmates were upset about recent operational changes at the jail and were being “passively non-compliant.”
However, law enforcement from several area departments swarmed to the jail after the incident was erroneously described as a riot. King said the miscommunication happened when jail staff contacted the Sanford Regional Communications Center.
All of the inmates were secured around 9:20 p.m.
The incident remains under investigation and disciplinary action against the inmates responsible are likely, King said.

M. Dwaine Greene, Ph.D.
M. Dwaine Greene, Georgetown College’s twenty-fourth President, is a North Carolina native often described as a man of integrity, humility, and strong faith. According to Dr. Greene, these traits took shape in him through the care of his beloved parents, Earl and Nora Greene of Watauga County, in the mountains of North Carolina.
In looking to Georgetown, Dr. Greene said, “I hold deep respect for what Georgetown College has accomplished during its many decades. Quality academics in concert with faith commitments resonate with me both personally and professionally. Joining such a worthy endeavor at Georgetown College is a high honor. I am humbled to serve as President.”
Dr. Greene, an accomplished administrator, comes to Georgetown from Campbell University, a Baptist institution in Buies Creek, North Carolina, where he was academic vice president and provost from 2001-2013. He is an alumnus of Campbell where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in religion in 1979. He then received his Master of Arts in New Testament from Wake Forest University in 1982, and subsequently completed his Ph.D. in New Testament and Early Christianity from the University of Virginia in 1987.
Early in his career, Dr. Greene was chairman of the Department of Religion and Philosophy at Chowan College (1986-1990) in Murfreesboro, North Carolina. After four years in that post, he accepted a faculty position at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, North Carolina. He served there for eleven years (1990-2001) during which time he was a religion professor, department chairperson, provost/dean of faculty, and, for a brief period, acting president. He then was recruited to his alma mater, Campbell University, to oversee the University’s academic operations.
Dr. Greene is married to the former Carolyn Michael, whom he met during their college years. Originally from Pennsylvania, she is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a degree in mathematics. Dr. and Mrs. Greene have two daughters, Patricia and Meredith, both of whom received their undergraduate degrees from Campbell. Patricia is a graduate of Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, Virginia, and is Associate Pastor/Minister to Families at the First Baptist Church in Rockingham, North Carolina. Meredith is pursuing a doctorate in molecular medicine and translational science at Wake Forest University, and anticipates completing the degree requirements in 2015.
Over the course of his career, Dr. Greene has authored scholarly publications in several well-regarded academic journals. He has also maintained numerous professional involvements in connection with his work both as an academician and as an administrator. Of particular significance is his involvement with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.
He lists among his hobbies and interests assorted sports and outdoor activities, reading, and piano.

In Mexico, urban rabies has been reduced during the last decade thanks to intensive canine control and vaccination campaigns; however, rabies transmitted by wild animals, especially by bats, has been increasing due to vampire bats feeding on livestock. Vampire bat populations has been controlled by culling with vampiricides, reducing indiscriminately other bat species. Hence, bat vaccination for rabies offers an alternative for culling. Nevertheless, available rabies vaccines are not suitable for their use in wildlife from emerging countries. This project presents an alternative for the use of plasmid vaccines using bio-nanotechnology, to create low-cost and accessible vaccines. To accomplish this goal, chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized by ionic gelation and conjugated by coacervation with a pDNA rabies vaccine to test their attachment efficiency. Also, the conjugate was functionalized with Protoporphyrin IX and Folic acid as biomarkers. The nanoparticles complex was characterized by ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and the Z potential was obtained. In vitro tests were performed on cell viability and transfection. The nanoparticles possessed a low polydispersity, a mean size of 118.5 ± 13.6 nm and a Z potential of 17.3 mV. The attachment efficiency was of 100% independent of pDNA added. In contrast to functionalized nanoparticles which showed a max attachment efficiency of 99.6% dependent of pDNA concentration and the method of functionalization. The conjugate did not influence the viability and they improved the transfection efficiency. Results suggest that these nanoparticles are easy to prepare, inexpensive, and exhibit potential for plasmid delivery as it improves transfection efficiency of pDNA vaccines.

here's a great lesson in counting...
i LOVE learning new words, phrases, and perspectives from Kdg. people!
we had a pizza party after school today. one of my Kdg. munchkins ate a slice of pizza. after he began munching away on the next slice he yelled, "mrs. solms! i'm eating my tooth (twoth) piece of pizza!"
sometimes you just want to scoop up a small person and put them in your Lands' End Jumbo Ginormous Tote Bag.

Hotel guru. Armchair psychologist. Traveling philosopher. Author. Speaker. Teacher. Student. Chip Conley has lived out more than one calling in his lifetime. Many of you know of Chip from his best-selling leadership books and TED talks. He is an inspirational entrepreneur and the founder and former CEO of Joie de Vivre hotel group. During his nearly 24 years as CEO, he grew the company to become the second largest boutique hotel company in America. After selling the company, he joined Airbnb in 2013 as Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy to share his hospitality methods with hosts in nearly 200 countries.
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to speak with Chip about leadership and what fuels his passion within Airbnb.
SB: I just read your book Emotional Equations and immediately saw the power of practical strategies for leadership. Tell me more about your view on leadership today.
CC: Leaders are the emotional thermostats for the business. Whoever is the top dog conveys mood and tone. How they talk is amplified across the organization. It is contagious and sensed by employees.
Today, anxiety is the number one emotion felt across organizations. According to Abraham Maslow’s “psycho-hygiene”, we can sense stressors in our environments. People don’t do their best work in anxious circumstances and lack of confidence impacts our work. I’ve observed that the best companies allow for vulnerability and they consciously strive to build trust.
SB: Are you seeing leaders today that are more in touch with their authentic self?
CC: Yes, and I think there are influences working in our favor. There are more women in the workplace and with that there’s a better reading of the room and emotions. Secondly, coaches have become a normal part of leader development. We also offer feedback through multi-rater tools. And the issue of diversity is now part of the Board conversation. This adds to a CEO’s understanding of the environment and ultimately themselves.
SB: What prompted you to join Airbnb after selling the largest boutique hotel group in the west?
CC: It began when the CEO asked me to be his coach. This was my first tech startup, and I found the organization so intriguing - it was a total immersion. It wasn’t what I anticipated at that stage in my life, but I found it fascinating and it was a great work-life fit for me.
SB: What have you learned at Airbnb?
CC: I am beginning to understand tech. Today we know the face of our mobile phone better than the face of an actual person. At Airbnb our workforce is intergenerational. Prior to working in strategy, I was the head of learning and development where I was teaching twenty-five year olds how to manage twenty-three year olds. I was able to help people through great emotional growth. Now I work on public policy and help our clients all over the world be the best hosts they can be. I am proud to say that our guest satisfaction is the highest it’s ever been.
SB: How do you find top talent?
CC: Success breeds success. Now Airbnb is the leading world hospitality company and our culture and values drive our decisions. We have 2,700 employees and 100 recruiters on staff. Of course it helps to have thousands wanting to work with us, but we start our talent assessment with core values - every candidate goes through a core values interview.
SB: How do you continue to disrupt your industry?
CC: We have to disrupt ourselves before we can disrupt the industry and that begins with looking beyond where we are right now. My advice would be to talk to people outside the industry you’re in and find your blind spots. Be evangelical about what you do. You don’t succeed by meeting customer expectations – you have to go beyond and imagine their unrecognized needs. Highly successful companies know how to increase the intimacy of their customer relationships, and they surprise and delight them with something unrecognized. Reinforce the emotional connection between you and your customers to help them meet their highest goals.
SB: What’s next?
CC: I am constantly curious. I was curious about tech so I joined Airbnb. In 2013, we were booking 8 million room nights a year and now it’s up to 150 million. I was drawn in by the combination of home-sharing, tech, and startup culture. I will continue to work at transformation and coaching others to find their path, always reaching for new work-life fit experiences.
Many of us are working in virtual teams and organizations across the globe. Chip’s reminder is an important one: to be smart in today’s workforce means not just understanding people but to also understand ourselves. Are you investing in you and the intangible relationships inside and outside of your organization? Are you caught up in the tangibles of day-to-day? What are you curious about? Let us know what you are learning!

T1 Line Versus Ethernet
Right now, an increasing amount of data is being passed between data centers and users, based on the tenancy for cloud computing and visualization as well as increased utilization of data replication and backup, memory space requirements, and data center consolidation. While cloud computing can easily reduce total costs and give agility, insufficient cloud computing bandwidth can also add latency to application transport. Buyers may want to seek the advice of our experts for tactics to overcomes latency problems between data centers by enhancing and accelerating data through the company's corporate network.
A T1 communications line is better than the conventional Ethernet line and it is employed by many industries. Even though Ethernet is essentially used in various companies, it is slowly becoming replaced by T1 connections.
The key reason in support of utilization of T1 data cable over Ethernet is only the swift and reliable service it offers. An Ethernet network is definitely a efficient, gigabit or metro interconnection that may be employed mostly for inside system traffic. On the other hand a T1 is known as a communications path, which is external to internal network link. There are lots of instances where firms swap T1 with quicker fibers, but T1 has several benefits over fiber connections.
One's T1 data connection is a dedicated net connection which is not mutually used by others and offers the most bandwidth. On the other hand, an Ethernet solution depends on shared networking and hinges on the data utilization in your neighborhood, which directly hampers your speed. T1 is a data and voice path which is available as an Internet link whereas an Ethernet connection is a connection used in Local Area Network situations for reliability and velocity.
We are experts in Arkansas T1 line. This page is a quick listing of the services specifically offered by T1Market in Alma.
As we go forward, our objective is to continuously improve our product offerings. We now provide enterprise products usually used by larger firms, particularly: MPLS network service, gigabit ethernet, OC3, and cloud computing bandwidth delivered over a fiber optic backbone. Several of our providers even deliver cost-free managed Cisco routers for multi-year agreements. Mainly, our objective is to create a bond with you - our client - that will last for years to come. Obtaining your trust is just what we do all the time. Saving you cash on affordable MPLS services is precisely how we keep it.

Soprano Nixon / WED 6-1-11 / Warren Buffet's sobriquet / 1981 Chrysler debut / Undergrads Greek leadership society / Target many New Yorker cartoon
Wednesday, June 1, 2011
Constructor: Elizabeth C. Gorski
Relative difficulty: Medium-Challenging
THEME: OOO (32D: Tic-tac-toe line ... and a hint to this puzzle's theme) — three-word phrases where all three words start with "O" (and middle word in every case is "OF")
Word of the Day: MARNI Nixon (1A: Soprano Nixon) —
Marni Nixon (born February 22, 1930) is an American soprano renowned for being a playback singer for featured actresses in well known movie musicals. This has earned her the sobriquet "The Ghostess with the Mostess", and "The Voice of Hollywood". She has also spent much of her career performing in concerts with major symphony orchestras around the world and in operas and musicals throughout the United States. (wikipedia)
This one was nowhere near my sweet spot, and on top of that it was teeming with less-than-wonderful fill, so not much joy for me today. ORACLE OF OMAHA is a nice answer to build a puzzle around, but "ONE OF OURS" is not exactly marquee Cather (Pulitzer notwithstanding), and I've simply never heard of ORDER OF OMEGA. I've also never (or barely) heard of MARNI Nixon or "The Makropulos Affair" or OKEMO (except in some forgotten crossword, I'm sure) (37D: Vermont ski resort), and I didn't know W.A.S.P. was still a thing or that "The New Yorker" still cared (49A: Target of many a New Yorker cartoon). In short, my response was mainly "what year is it?" and "maybe if I were a patrician W.A.S.P. opera-goer from the northeast, this puzzle would be more likeable."
Junk: IOS, OLIOS, CCIX, ABO, POTRO (DEL POTRO would've been just fine), SEG, ORIEL, DFCS, as well as the clues on FEY and FEST. Not junk: the FLIP and FLOP answers (FLIP A COIN and MEGAFLOP) (18A: Make heads or tails of something? and 38D: Big bust). Putting sportsy SHAUN White next to sportsy Juan Martin del POTRO seems slightly cruel to the notoriously sportsphobic, but with all the damn "New Yorker" / opera / FARRAR, Straus and Giroux snootiness everywhere else in the puzzle, I guess it's only fair.
- 14A: "Love the skin you're in" sloganeer, once (OIL OF OLAY)
- 19A: Undergrads' Greek leadership society (ORDER OF OMEGA)

It's so invasive and hard to kill.
you will have the roots sending up new shoots for years to come. Just know that so you can stay on top of them . . . . two years after pulling mine out I am still getting shoots. THey are easy to control by pulling and they are getting smaller and fewer in number, so I am winning.
For a replacement, how about this:
I replaced mine with grapes. But I wouldn't recommend that over a deck. Birds like grapes, birds eat grapes, birds crap grapes. And they don't have much of a flower, which you want.
I was looking for a place to plant grapes for jelly so out went the wisteria.
I grow Hyacinth Bean on my arbor. It grows FAST in hot weather of 80+. Easily covers my arbor in a season. But it is not a perennial anywhere in the us except S. Florida. Frost kills it right off.

German composer Wilhelm Richard Wagner brought to audiences such operatic treasures as “Tristan and Isolde,” “Parsifal” and the “Ring” cycle. But his influence on music extended further than his mainstream popularity. He changed the way theater-goers saw opera, and his impact reverberates to the modern day. The North Carolina Opera is doing a performance of portions of his works. Host Frank Stasio talks with Timothy Myers, conductor for the opera’s upcoming performance; and Elizabeth Bishop, the lead actress.

Plague Upon Plague: Mike Baker writing in The New York Times:
‘With queens that can grow to two inches long, Asian giant hornets can use mandibles shaped like spiked shark fins to wipe out a honeybee hive in a matter of hours, decapitating the bees and flying away with the thoraxes to feed their young. For larger targets, the hornet’s potent venom and stinger — long enough to puncture a beekeeping suit — make for an excruciating combination that victims have likened to hot metal driving into their skin.
In Japan, the hornets kill up to 50 people a year. Now, for the first time, they have arrived in the United States….’

After a catastrophic car accident with a drunk driver, you may face significant medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and uncertainty about your future. However, you could also be entitled to punitive damages, which aim at punishing the drunk driver and discouraging similar misconduct.
Unfortunately, many drunk driving victims don’t demand punitive damages in their injury claims. Below, Fishwick & Associates’ personal injury lawyers explain the essentials of Virginia punitive damage awards.
What Is the Difference Between Compensatory and Punitive Damages?
When we talk about damages, most people immediately think of compensatory damages, which reimburse victims for both their economic and non-economic losses. They can cover a variety of losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and property damage.
Punitive damages do not compensate you for your losses. Instead, they punish the drunk driver, make an example of them, and deter others from committing similar offenses. Under certain circumstances, a court may award punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages.
Am I Entitled to Punitive Damages?
Under Virginia law, there are two grounds for punitive damages in a drunk driving injury claim. First, your injury lawyer can demand punitive damages under a Virginia statute (Va. Code §8.01-44.5) when:
- The drunk driver had a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of at least 0.15% when the incident occurred.
- The drunk driver knew or should have known that they were too impaired to operate a vehicle.
- Their intoxication was a proximate cause of injury or death to the victim.
Second, if the driver’s BAC was lower, but they engaged in wildly reckless or malicious behavior, punitive damages may be appropriate under Virginia common law. In these cases, the jury must weigh the evidence and determine whether punitive damages are appropriate.
However, you’ll need to prove more than the driver was intoxicated. Typically, the court will weigh the driver’s level of intoxication, their past criminal convictions, and the circumstances surrounding the crash. To win punitive damages, you typically must prove that the drunk driver’s actions were “sufficiently willful or wanton as to show a conscious disregard for the rights of others.”
Because this is a difficult standard, it’s in your best interest to consult with a lawyer before demanding punitive damages.
A Review of Relevant Virginia Supreme Court Decisions
The following cases address the issue on appeal to the Supreme Court of Virginia of whether the plaintiff presented sufficient evidence for the court to submit a claim of punitive damages to the jury. These are some of the leading cases on this issue, but there are several additional leading cases not discussed here. See, e.g., Allstate Ins. Co. v. Wade, 265 Va. 383, 579 S.E.2d 180 (2003); Doe v. Isaacs, 265 Va. 531, 579 S.E.2d 174 (2003); Woods v. Mendez, 265 Va. 68, 574 S.E.2d 263 (2003); Baker v. Marcus, 201 Va. 905, 114 S.E.2d 617 (1960).
BOOTH V. ROBERTSON, 236 VA. 269, 374 S.E.2D 1 (1988)
In Booth, the defendant drove the wrong way down an exit ramp on Interstate 81 in Roanoke County. Id. at 270, 374 S.E.2d at 1. The defendant narrowly missed a tractor trailer, which honked its horn with a “constant blast” and flashed its lights, but the defendant kept driving and hit the plaintiff head-on once on the interstate. Id. The defendant’s B.A.C. was 0.22% and he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence. Id. at 271, 374 S.E.2d at 1.
The trial court struck the plaintiff’s claim for punitive damages and the Supreme Court of Virginia reversed. Id. at 270, 273, 374 S.E.2d at 1, 3. The Court stated that the “objective fact that the defendant in this case voluntarily consumed enough intoxicants to produce a reading of 0.22% blood alcohol content, causing him to drive as he did on the night in question, provides sufficient proof of his conscious disregard of the rights of others.” Id. at 273, 374 S.E.2d at 3.
The Court focused on the defendant’s B.A.C. and voluntary intoxication in explaining its ruling that the evidence supported an award of punitive damages for the defendant’s “egregious” behavior. Id. Later cases frequently reference Booth as the quintessential case in which punitive damages were appropriate because the defendant’s behavior embodied egregiousness.
HACK V. NESTER, 241 VA. 299, 404 S.E.2D 42 (1991)
In Hack, the defendant was driving with a B.A.C. between 0.09 and 0.114%. Id. at 506–07, 404 S.E.2d at 45. The evidence showed that the defendant had two prior DUI convictions; he drank at least half a pitcher of beer before the accident; his license was suspended; and he operated the vehicle on the left side of road, with the left headlight out and while he was suffering from night blindness. Id. at 502, 506, 404 S.E.2d at 43, 45. The defendant hit the decedent in the left lane and her administrator brought a wrongful death action against the driver for negligence. Id. at 502, 404 S.E.2d at 43.
The jury awarded $50,000 punitive damages to the plaintiff. Id. at 503, 404 S.E.2d at 43. On appeal, the Supreme Court of Virginia compared these facts to those in Booth and explained that none of the circumstances from Booth were present here. Id. at 506–07, 404 S.E.2d at 45. The Court stated it could not conclude the defendant met the level of conscious disregard of the decedent’s rights to carry the award of punitive damages and it reversed this part of the judgment. Id.
PUENT V. DICKENS, 245 VA. 217, 427 S.E.2D 340 (1993)
In Puent, the defendant had a B.A.C. of 0.24% when he failed to brake and rear-ended the plaintiff’s vehicle at a traffic light. Id. at 218–19, 427 S.E.2d at 341–42. The defendant admitted liability for compensatory damages and pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving. Id. The evidence showed the defendant was “going very fast” and that he continued to drink whiskey from the bottle in his vehicle after the accident. Id. at 219, 427 S.E.d2d at 342. The trial court struck the plaintiff’s claim for punitive damages and the Supreme Court of Virginia affirmed. Id. at 218, 220, S.E.2d at 341, 343.
Although the defendant’s B.A.C. was lower in the case of Booth, the Court noted that “other acts of negligence that were direct causes of the collision” must be considered and that the defendant’s conduct here did not “approach that degree of negligence” in Booth, Huffman, or Hack. Id. at 219, 427 S.E.2d at 342.
The Court concluded that a plea of guilty to reckless driving was insufficient alone to sustain punitive damages. Id. at 220, 427 S.E.2d at 343. Even though it called the defendant’s conduct “reprehensible,” the Supreme Court of Virginia did not reverse the trial court’s decision. Id at 220, 427 S.E.2d at 342.
HUFFMAN V. LOVE, 245 VA. 311, 427 S.E.2D 357 (1993)
In Huffman, the defendant was driving with a B.A.C. of 0.32% and speeding (25 mph in a 15-mph zone) when he crossed into oncoming traffic and struck the plaintiff head-on. Id. at 313, 427 S.E.2d at 359. Prior to hitting the plaintiff, the defendant had collided with another vehicle and continued to drive. Id. The defendant did not stop at the time of the accident, and he could not talk, stand, or walk when police pulled him over three miles later. Id. The defendant had two prior convictions for DUI and had completed VASAP. Id.
The trial court struck the plaintiff’s claim for punitive damages. Id. The Supreme Court of Virginia reversed the trial court’s ruling, finding that there was sufficient evidence of the defendant’s “conscious disregard for the safety of others” for the issue of punitive damages to be submitted to a jury. Id. at 314–15, 427 S.E.2d at 360.
The Court focused on three facts:
- The defendant had a prior collision shortly before the collision with the plaintiff.
- The defendant was speeding at the time of the collision.
- The defendant’s B.A.C. was over three times the statutory limit.
Id. at 315, 427 S.E.2d at 360. The Court stated that “[i]n determining the degree of a defendant’s negligence, intoxication is relevant as an aggravating factor, increasing with the level of intoxication.” Id. at 315, 427 S.E.2d at 360–61 (citation omitted).
The Court’s analysis in Huffman is instructive because it expressly points to three facts that the Court considered in reaching its determination.
WEBB V. RIVERS, 256 VA. 460, 507 S.E.2D 360 (1998)
In Webb, the trial court struck the plaintiff’s common law claim and the Supreme Court of Virginia reversed. Id. at 462, 464, 507 S.E.2d at 362, 363. The defendant was traveling 90 mph in a 25-mph residential area with a B.A.C. of 0.21% and ran a stop light, after which he collided with the plaintiff. Id. at 462, 507 S.E.2d at 361. The officer who responded testified that the defendant was drunk to the extent that he “was in a stupor” and was unaware of the time or where he was. Id.
In reversing the trial court’s decision, the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled that the plaintiff “established sufficient facts from which a jury may infer that the defendant’s acts of recklessness or negligence evinced a conscious disregard of the rights of others.” Id. at 463, 507 S.E.2d at 362. These facts are comparable to those in Huffman, including the high B.A.C. level, speeding, and a traffic violation that should have alerted the defendant to his inability to safely drive his vehicle.
COALSON V. CANCHOLA, 287 VA. 242, 754 S.E.2D 525 (2014)
This appeal addressed whether the remittur (reduction) of the punitive damages award was proper, but the opinion is instructive for the Court’s treatment of punitive damages. In Coalson, the defendant began drinking at brunch and continued to drink through the afternoon. Id. at 248, 754 S.E.2d at 527. Notably, the defendant engaged in deceptive and misleading behavior to ensure that a police officer did not know that the defendant was driving under the influence. Id.
The defendant was driving and talking on his cellphone when he approached the left turn into his hotel and turned in front of the plaintiff’s vehicle. Id. The defendant’s B.A.C. was almost twice the legal limit at the time of the accident. Id. at 247–48, 754 S.E.2d at 527. After he hit the plaintiff’s vehicle, the defendant fled the scene. Id. at 248, 754 S.E.2d at 527–28. The defendant was previously convicted of DUI seven times and one time of driving on a suspended license. Id. at 247, 754 S.E.2d at 527. A jury awarded each plaintiff $100,000 in punitive damages. Id. at 246, 754 S.E.2d at 526.
In reversing the trial court’s decision to reduce the punitive damages, the Supreme Court of Virginia recalled the purpose of punitive damages to warn and deter. Id. at 249, 754 S.E.2d at 528. The Court pointed to the defendant’s seven prior convictions for DUI and his deceptive conduct with the police officer, as well as his fleeing the scene and asking his girlfriend to lie about his involvement, as important factors in the defendant’s “egregious” behavior. Id. at 249, 754 S.E.2d at 529.
The Court noted that this is the kind of conduct punitive damages are supposed to deter because the defendant’s conduct evinced a willful and wanton disregard of the rights of others. Id. at 250–51, 754 S.E.2d at 529–30. The Court concluded that the trial court erred in granting the remittur because the $100,000 award to each plaintiff was not excessive. Id.

Until the Dawn’s Light
By Aharon Appelfeld, Translated by Jeffrey M. Green
Schocken Books, 240 pages, $26
‘Until the Dawn’s Light” opens with a mother and son on the run. What they are escaping, as they travel by train from city to city across Europe, is revealed only just before the novel’s end. But there’s a notable lack of suspense in this story; at no point does the reader stop to wonder why the two are running.
And perhaps there’s good reason for that. Israeli author Aharon Appelfeld, one of the foremost chroniclers of Jewish suffering through fiction, and one of the few Holocaust survivors still writing at all, is less interested in sequential cause and effect, in plot and resolution, than he is in exploring the tragedy of the human condition. So, while there is in fact a specific reason that mother and son are in flight, what becomes clear fairly early on in this novel is that their escape is one that could not have been averted — that as humans, and specifically as European Jews, they are by definition refugees: rootless and wandering.
Indeed, a sense of place, and the lack thereof, looms large in “Until the Dawn’s Light.” The novel tells of Blanca, an Austrian Jew living at the turn of the 20th century who rather inexplicably converts to Christianity in order to marry a gentile, Adolf (his name is a heavy-handed bit of foreshadowing), and then bears a son, Otto. Shortly after the two are married, Blanca discovers that her husband is crass and cruel, often returning drunk from evenings out, spewing anti-Semitic slurs and turning their home, for Blanca, into a place of “oppressive rooms.” To earn her keep, Blanca finds a job working at a Jewish old age home in the countryside — a space that, while it separates her from her cherished son, provides a reprieve from her husband’s wild outbursts.
Here, too, however, the space is problematic; an old woman complains of being so far from home: “This alien place is delaying death.” And when the synagogue in Blanca’s town finally closes its doors for lack of funds — the Jews of the town are mostly assimilated or have converted to Christianity — Blanca’s grandmother, a crazed old woman who rebukes the town’s Jews for abandoning God and tradition, says that this marks the closing of the gates of prayer in the world. When the inevitable happens and she is forced to run for her life, Blanca sets off “with no destination in mind.”
For Blanca, a heavy darkness permeates not only her surroundings, but also her very body itself. When she takes to stealing from patients at the old age home in order to put together some escape money, she feels unclean, as she had when she married Adolf.
Blanca experiences intense feelings of alienation — from home, from her husband, even from her own physical actions. She makes gestures that “didn’t seem to come from within her own body.” And although the book’s title suggests that time will bring some reprieve, there is no such luck for Blanca, who finds that time, too, is stuck in a “heavy batter.” There is no dawn ahead, only nostalgia for what lay behind: her youth and the promise it once held.
As in much of Appelfeld’s work, from “The Story of a Life: A Memoir” to novels like “Tzili” and more recently “Blooms of Darkness,” the character’s sense of being alone and lost is felt most acutely in her inability to communicate. In an imaginary conversation with a friend, Blanca says:
There are no words in my mouth. Once I knew how to talk, how to express things in detail and with precision, but now, when I stand next to Adolf, my tongue cleaves to the roof of my mouth and I can’t think of a single sentence with which to answer him.
In another instance, “Blanca felt the muteness that blocked her mouth.” It is as if her own mouth were foreign to her. Even with her son, she can barely make conversation. When she does call him, it is as though the “word slipped out of her mouth.” And his response, “What, mama?” is met with “Nothing.” Such conversations repeat themselves throughout this book, a sort of signature Appelfeld motif that underscores the impossibility of communication.
Like so many of Appelfeld’s works, this one is marked by terse prose that suggests a reticence on the part of the author, as if, despite being a prolific man of letters, he remains a person of very few words. Indeed, now nearing 80, Appelfeld shows no signs of loosening up. If anything, he has become more tight-lipped than ever, which can make for a frustrating read, as this novel is at times. But perhaps there is no other way to be for an author whose subject is deeply painful and even more deeply real. Throughout his impressive oeuvre, one senses that Appelfeld is not mining his imagination to concoct tragic stories — rather, he is simply telling and retelling the story of his life as a child survivor of the Holocaust: a story of loss, suffering and confusion.
In this case, it is Blanca who must bear the burden of pain. Her life with Adolf is like the abandoned ruins she encounters on her travels, “barren and full of damp darkness.” And for her, “death isn’t darkness… it’s just a change in place.”
In a sense, to read Appelfeld is to bear witness, to share in that burden of pain. And while this is far from his strongest novel, it nevertheless succeeds in this regard — something that is especially important now, with the last generation of survivors fading away.

THE "one push can kill" promotion has fallen on deaf ears of intoxicated young people or in drug-induced psychoses.
This deadly tactic often has no rationale, other than drug-related paranoia, mental illness or testosterone on high.
Victorian legislation is in place to incarcerate perpetrators who kill for life.
It's too late for previous victims.
The problem is a reflection of the continual societal breakdown of authority and unlimited access to illicit and legal drugs.
It's a war fought in homes and on our streets.
Many young disengaged and disaffected people, aimlessly wandering, looking for mischief, are an escalating problem, as governments fail to have solutions to escalating family breakdown, homelessness and the irrelevance of education for some.
We see these lost souls hanging around shopping precincts and fast-food outlets at the start of the day and wonder why they are allowed to freely harass and intimidate with impunity.
With no education and no job prospects, they revert to anti-social behaviours.
Car theft and graffiti are common outlets for their need to compensate and satiate their desires.
The school system fails many young people, who truant and find comfort in addictions and anti-social practices.

The meeting started with the Board of Education recognition ceremony to honor the 20 staff members who are retiring this year. "In the years that lie ahead, recall us fondly," said Board President Rosemarie Perez Jaquith. "Embrace the exciting challenges that await you and make the most of each day. Embrace the knowledge that you have left a lasting legacy. You have shaped and molded the minds and hearts of so many."
Congratulations to: Guy Connelly, Renata Miros, Dennis Deland, David Ormsbee, Suzanne Dorries, Randall Roeser, Cathy Frank, Michelle Ryan-Rivers, Stephanie Frey, Michelle Sausa-Gatta, Barbara Gorman, Diana Seda, Judith Henery, Mark Treanor, Varda LeMonds, Judith Vaccaro, Lauren Matarazzo, Peter Warren, Margaret Mazzanoble and Abigail Weber.
As part of the recognition, newly tenured faculty members were also honored. This "passing of the torch" looks to be a new district tradition.
Student Representative Report
A group of students, high school administrators and Superintendent Cosimo Tangorra recently participated in a Skype meeting with an organization called "7 Cups of Tea," which provides peer-to-peer conversations to help students deal with stress and anxiety. The organization works predominantly with colleges. Student representatives said it was interesting to learn about the program. A great deal of conversation would be needed before moving forward with it at the high school.
The student forum meetings gained some momentum this year and students are hoping for even more participation next year.
Board members recognized senior Student Representative Cassidy Beauchemin for her contributions in the role over the last two years.
Science & Engineering Program Review
The K-12 Science & Engineering Technology Program Review resulted in an analysis of the current program and the identification of priority areas for future work. These areas included: K-12 curriculum alignment; facilities that enable more hands-on science and engineering technology learning; instructional technology and teacher training; and exploring the possibility of accelerated opportunities in science and engineering technology at the middle school level.
These recommendations and an overview of the Program Review Process was provided by K-12 Director of Science & Engineering Technology Director Jackie Carrese and review team co-facilitators Mary Hanchar of Iroquois and Jessica Jefts of Rosendale. It was a comprehensive, evidence-based approach. They also said it was a rewarding and unique opportunity to work with colleagues across all levels to review the program and discuss future priorities.
Science & Engineering Technology was the first department to undergo a program review through the process established last year by the District Curriculum and Assessment Council (DCAC). All departments will go through a program review based on a cycle developed by DCAC. At the Board meeting, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Lauren Gemmill highlighted how program reviews are a critical part of a systematic approach to planning the future of school programs. The work will inform curriculum development, technology and facilities priorities and the professional development plan. To learn more, view this infographic that Ms. Gemmill shared at the meeting.
Budget Vote Exit Survey
Matt Leon shared some highlights of the exit survey conducted as part of the May 16 budget vote. There were 528 survey responses, which represents 24 percent of voters. The results indicate strong support for the schools, increasing confidence in the leadership of the district over the past few years, and increased awareness of the strategic plan.
Superintendent Cosimo Tangorra, Jr., noted that the State Education Department has released some guidance this spring pertaining to school calendar requirements, including half days. He said that it may be necessary to adjust next year's calendar to avoid half days at the end of the year (June 2018). Additionally, he said he believes it is important for the district to maintain traditions like the 9th grade orientation day in September and the kindergarten visitation days at the start of the year, but this may require tradeoffs at other points in the calendar. These could include holding school the day before Thanksgiving or abbreviating another break. No decisions have been made to adjust next year''s calendar at this time.
Closed Courses and Wait List for 2017-18
The list of high school courses that have a wait list at this point in the high school scheduling process was shared. There was a general discussion about the scheduling process and the role that self-selection plays in fulfilling student course requests. This discussion included the idea of seeking feedback from faculty about self-selection.
Enrollment/Demographic Study and Pupil Capacity Study
The Board approved a proposal from SES Study Team to conduct an enrollment/demographic study and pupil capacity study. This work will inform future capital improvements, including those that would accommodate more interdisciplinary and project-based learning, which has been discussed by the Instructional Program Advisory Council (IPAC) throughout this year. The enrollment and capacity study will begin this summer and is expected to be finished by the spring.
Athletic Code of Conduct Report
High School Principal John Rickert and Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics Larry Gillooley presented the report on Athletic Code of Conduct infractions for the spring season and the full year. There were a total of four reports of violations this spring, three of which resulted in disciplinary action. For the year, a total of 18 suspected violations led to 12 penalties. Mr. Rickert and Mr. Gillooley said they believe the focus on the Athletic Code of Conduct of this past year did lead to greater awareness among student-athletes. They said the coaches have been helpful in sending this message to students.
Student Representative Jonathan Romano
The Board appointed current sophomore Jonathan Romano to a two-year term as the student representative to the Board for the Class of 2019. He will officially begin with the Board at its organizational meeting on July 14. A total of eight students interviewed for the position. Congratulations, Jonathan!
Board Policy Review
The Board adopted Policy 7680 Independent Educational Evaluations and Policy 8450 Home Tutoring. A first read was conducted for Policy 5660 School Food Service Program and a series of policies related to the finances of extracurricular activities (Policy 1336 Duties of the Extraclassroom Activity Fund Central Treasurer and Faculty Auditor; Policy 5520 Extraclassroom Activity Fund; and Policy 7410 Extracurricular Activities.)
During the meeting, Board member Pat Lanotte noted that there have been good conversations at two recent meetings of the Audit Committee about policies and procedures needed to ensure sales tax compliance on the part of extracurricular activities.

Kissimmee Orlando’s getaway city
“Kissimmee” was originally a small trading post on the northern bank of Lake Tohopekaliga known as the community of Allendale. After the Civil War, this area was included in a purchase of four million acres of marshland and plains by Hamilton Disston.
The sale price for the land totaled $1 million at 25 cents an acre!
The infusion of $1 million to the state of Florida reportedly rescued the State from financial disaster. In January 1881, Disston contracted to drain the area and deepen the Kissimmee River, so products could be shipped to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. Many steamboat captains navigated the chain of lakes leading from Kissimmee to the Gulf with cargoes of cypress lumber and sugar cane.
Kissimmee has excellent shopping, restaurants, and amenities. It used to be Miami that had the best shopping, this trend has shifted in past years gradually to Kissimmee for the “best shopping” spots. The weather is sunny and warm for the most part of the year and that will always be a great attraction to tourists. Kissimmee’s Hot spots include:
Osceola County Welcome Center and History Museum is in Osceola County, Florida. It includes the Osceola County Historical Society Museum’s local history exhibits as well as Pioneer Village and its Ross Lanier House. Ross Lanier House includes a blacksmith shop, one-room schoolhouse, 1882 citrus packing house, general store, and “cracker house” cow camp. The center includes a multi-purpose room with 50 theater style seats and mini-kitchen. The center and museum are the Osceola County Historical Society. Exhibitions feature swamplands, pine flatwoods, oak hammock, and lakefront dioramas with interactive displays and scavenger hunt challenges. A screen room overlooks Shingle Creek and it can be accessed outside the museum on the 7.8 acres of Mary Kendall Steffee Nature Preserve.
Old Town is an amusement park and outdoor shopping mall located in Osceola County. Operating since 1986, its original purpose was to be an entertainment complex and provide unique shopping experiences. Old Town’s iconic Ferris Wheel was renovated in 2017. Take a spin on this Italian hand-built LED ride and enjoy spectacular views of Kissimmee and all of Orlando. Every weekend, enjoy classic cars and trucks throughout Old Town. At night, line the sidewalk to watch these beautiful cars drive down Old Town’s brick-layered Main Street for the “Friday Nite Muscle Car Cruise “and Saturday Nite Classic Car Cruise (the longest running weekly car show and cruise in America).
Many see Kissimmee as the place where they would like to retire. First and foremost Kissimmee has a family friendly atmosphere and has a number of great schools to choose from. Kissimmee has some of the best golf courses, housing, and entertainment in all of Orlando.

Every once in a while the hype train comes rolling in, and I jump on board like a blind little toadie. There was no reason for me to be excited about Project Almanac. The trailer didn’t sell me. It looked like a carbon copy of so many other time travel films before it, and it’s found footage, which is one of the weakest genres out there. Yet, there I was on opening day, ready to throw my $6.75 at the cashier for my ticket, and start time hopping.
God, what was I thinking? What was MTV thinking? What was anyone thinking when they made this movie? The film opens with a pretty cool audition tape for MIT. Our hero has created a remote control via little pads he puts on his fingers, and he can control a drone. Right afterwards, the film gets really sloppy. He finds out he can’t afford to actually go to MIT after being accepting. He finds an old camcorder in the attic that was last used by his father ten years prior, on the day he died in a car crash, and it magically works.
I know this is a film about time travel, and one should suspend disbelief to a certain point, but there is no way in hell that battery would still have juice in it. As he watches the film of his birthday party, he catches a glimpse of his present-day self in a mirror in the very back of the scene. Someone in my theater actually shouted, “Are you serious? No way he would even notice that!” It’s literally a one-second shot that needs to be zoomed in to see it, and I’m supposed to believe that he noticed it the very first time he turned it on? To add insult to my poor brain, the films insists that the only processor powerful enough to make this time machine work is one from an Xbox One, and it requires a battery from an electric car to power it. Thankfully, our cute nerds and sexy girls figure out how to pack all of this into a tiny backpack for when they start time hopping.
The film’s biggest flaw, outside of its poor characters and how unbelievable the whole thing is, has to be the overly long concert scene, where our gang travels back in time to see Imagine Dragons and Atlas Genius play. Hell, they even hop on stage, get songs dedicated to their hot, misunderstood girlfriends, and dance with the band. I couldn’t even make this up. It just falls apart as the film reaches its climax, which takes the most generic route it could possibly go. If you’ve seen the trailers for this film, then you know every thing that will happen.
This is director Dean Israelite’s first feature film, and it shows. The found footage angle never really works. I get that they want to capture it all on camera for the sake of science, but his sister is the worst photographer ever, and she bounces the camera to the boys’ faces constantly instead of the car that is about to time hop. The product placement reaches further levels of absurd as Red Bull cans fly around the screen. Later, the films drops pop culture references in the form of “cool” films like Argo and Looper.
Maybe I’m just too old to understand what these hipster kids want in their sci-fi films these days, but Project Almanac delivers nothing we haven’t seen a few hundred times before. Instead of giving us any sort of solid resolution, it goes down the most generic, happy ending route it could think of because hey, everyone deserves to be happy, no matter what they’ve done. I left Project Almanac hating myself for falling into the hype that never had any rationale. Was I that desperate for a good sci-fi adventure? Was it the Platinum Dunes logo? Or was the hipster in me screaming for some ADHD entertainment? Either way, the film doesn’t deliver in any aspect that it should have. Its science is a jumbled mess, the product placement is infuriating (think Wayne’s World, but done in a serious tone), and the super pretty cast is insulting to all nerds out there. It’s like having Hollywood’s top five sexiest men star in The Big Bang Theory. It just doesn’t make any sense. Project Almanac is the first big let down of 2015, and that’s weird because I really shouldn’t have been excited for this stinker to begin with.
Chris was raised on horror films, which gave him a deep love for the genre, especially its most quirky and offbeat titles (like A Nightmare on Elm Street 2). This love quickly turned into an obsession for cinema in 1997, when he decided he needed to see every major theatrical release. Video games (JRPGs), reading (anything but fantasy), and reality television (Survivor) are just some of his other passions. He’s been with Cinefessions since 2013, and has been writing reviews all over the internet for the past twelve years.

An earlier version said the Dominican Republic’s presidential election was taking place on 26 July. The election is ready for five July, with 26 July being the date for a run-off election, within the occasion that neither candidate obtained an absolute majority within the first round. “The younger people are in many ways attuned to transnational networks and conversations,” says Lorgia García Peña, an associate professor in the department of romance languages and literatures at Harvard University.

- Some of the Dominicans he prayed with have been professors he had during his 4 years.
- His vocational decision is hardly stunning to his family, associates and parishioners again house, and his circle of friends — a lot of them Dominicans — at PC.
I’m simply unsure how a lot “coaching” it’ll take earlier than we resolve that black and brown people should be treated like human beings. I am afraid that if we, as a nation, don’t confront our history, we will by no means be free to experience peace and justice.

After two Presidential debates it’s becomingly increasingly clear there will be little discussion of U.S.-Latin American relations in the final month.
How will the next President handle President Hugo Chavez, the deteriorating U.S. – Venezuelan relationship, and growing ties with Russia and Iran? What about Russian warships headed to the Caribbean for joint maneuvers with the Venezuelan navy or Chavez’s soliciting Russian help with nuclear power?
Enriched by Venezuela’s oil revenues, agents of Chavez’s government have conspired with narco-terrorist guerrillas in Colombia, shipped suitcases of cash to Argentina, and worked to firm up relations with Middle Eastern terror organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. Oil and other subsidies from Chavez give Raul Castro in Cuba a major means to preserve a communist dictatorship well beyond its expiration date.
Borrowing from the Hugo Chavez’s playbook, Evo Morales swept into power in Bolivia in 2006, promising mass-government handouts while deriding the free market and “Yankee imperialism.” Morales has tightened his grip on the state nationalizing the gas industry, cutting away at private property rights, defending the right of farmers to grow coca [the base ingredient of cocaine], and pushing his country to the brink of civil war. In Ecuador, President Rafael Correa has utilized his brand of populism to win control over the nation’s central bank and key economic resources and to guarantee longevity in office. In Nicaragua, Sandinista president Daniel Ortega pines for the bad old days of the 1980s and even traditional Central American friend Honduras is tempted by offers of cheap oil and other financial aid from Venezuela.
And yet, the stalled Colombia Free Trade Agreement in Congress seems to indicate that our public elected officials have little interest in shoring up our ties with one of our strongest allies in South America.
In the past, U.S. presidents articulated broad visions and bold measures to advance U.S. interests and leadership in the Americas. One hopes that the candidates will be able to look past the current crisis on Wall Streets and beyond sniping over their fitness for high office to articulate a clearer, bolder vision of the way forward in the Americas. Let’s hope the instincts for American leadership prevail in reasserting the importance of democracy, human rights, economic freedom, and individual liberty in the Western Hemisphere and across the globe.

A couple of weeks ago and I came across an interesting HTML5 based experiment. Canvas based image manipulation by Patrick H. Lauke. Thinking this could be quite useful if we could save the resulting image, I cobbled it together with Jacob Seidelin’s Canvas2Image and suddenly I had a working prototype of a jPlayer Skinner.
If we were to try and create something similar without using HTML5 we would have needed either to use Flash or manipulate the image on the server. (Let’s just pretend Flash doesn’t exist for the purposes of this post). Even if you put to one side the added complexity of creating and integrating the serverside code, it makes much more sense to do this kind of manipulation clientside – the load is perfectly distributed, in fact all the server has to think about is serving up plain old text.
This is a huge win for HTML5 and one that not many people are talking about. Increasingly we are using client’s CPUs as the workhorse for complex activities that previously could only be achieved on the server. This means more efficent web apps, less traffic between client and server and fewer cycles being consumed on the server.
In short HTML5 helps web apps scale.

Twenty-year old He defeated American superstar Nastia Liukin to win the gold medal on uneven bars in Beijing, and she went on to win the gold medal on the event at the 2009 World Championships. But she lost her cloak of invincibility shortly after that: She fell off the apparatus at both the 2010 and 2011 World Championships. During qualifications in London, however, she posted the highest difficulty score, kept her legs glued together, nailed her jaw-dropping release skills and only came off the bars when it was time to stick her dismount. She qualified just behind Tweddle. Perhaps He has found her old magic in the nick of time.

PULNiX TMC-1020-30 Camera. Now vision systems say "nanocheese" with the color digital AccuPiXELTM camera. It boasts an unusually high frame rate: 30 frames per second, made possible by doubling the horizontal scan frequency from 20 to 40 MHz, thus, timing becomes more critical. The camera has a maximum dynamic range control with a built-in Look-Up-Table (LUT), where the user controls the programming. Using a Bayer CFA (color filter array), unique uniform square pixels provide superior image definition in any orientation. Camera software uses neighboring pixel information to fill in the missing colors between pixels for clear, smooth images. Lead Engineer: Mark Wang (www.pulnix.com/Press/r-TMC1020-30.html) Enter 576
Roomba, Roomba, hey, hey
Irobot Roomba Floor Cleaner. Go ahead...impress him or her by volunteering to do the vacuuming. Then release the Roomba from iRobot in a room, close the door, and go have fun. The Roomba will clean the floor for you in no time. This automatic sweeper spirals around the room using infrared sensors to follow walls and detect drops such as stairs. A light contact sensor identifies furniture and other obstacles. "It sees the world more or less by running into it gently," says Eliot Mack, mechanical engineer from iRobot. The sweeper brush automatically adjusts its height to any cleaning surface by detecting the torque of that surface.

Under a (laser) microscope
Nikon C-1 Confocal Microscope. It's not like high school biology any more. With the laser-based C1 Digital Eclipse Modular Confocal Microscope System, medical researchers and others have a variety of software tools at their finger tips for 3D imaging. Key features are the compact scanning head and pre-calibrated laser and detection modules, which are easily installed and eliminate calibration during set up. The series of lasers and filters available for the microscope provide compatibility with every fluorescent dye used in research today. Time-lapse recording is possible and the system also has analysis software and a graphical user interface for mouse-clicking into advanced scanning methods.

Wabi Buddies® Bears. The folks who brought you Teddy Ruxpin in the1980s are back. The Wabi (no it's not Japanese, but stands for "what a beautiful idea") Buddies teddy bears will provide children with voice messages, as well as stories and lullabies. "The 900 MHz digital cordless chip technology provides the right combination of low cost, good range, high quality connection, and high security," notes Dave Durran, VP of engineering. "A Wabi bear can be thought of as a computer controlled digital answering machine in the handset of a cordless telephone. All intelligence resides in the bear (handset). The bear 'wakes up' periodically to poll the Wabi message server, and stores any new messages locally," Durran notes. Other services with stored material "are implemented in additional software running on the answering machine microcontroller," he adds. Engineer: Dave Durran (www.wabiland.com) Enter 579
3D vision in your hand
Global Haptic Georb. Imagine a 3D mouse on steroids. The Georb, a spherical device used in virtual sculpting or navigating through 3D space, breaks away from flat keyboard mapping to be more intuitive than any other haptic (touch-based) device. It features unique mapping of a convex surface to 3D space and interacts through tactile user input of 26 sensors and switches. The shape of the device, slightly longer than it is high, and slightly higher than it is wide, orients the user to easily recognize which part of the orb they are holding.

Don't get cold feet!
Hotronic® FootWarmer. Cold feet are the worst if you like winter sports. And those little packets that you shake and insert into your boot often bake your toes and then leave a funny feeling lump in the front of the boot. The Hotronic's FootWarmer puts an end to cold and uncomfortable feet. Microprocessor technology allows the user to regulate warmth before going outside to prevent feet from getting cold. The rechargeable battery pack contains surface mounts that work with the chip located on the bottom of the heating element. This determines the temperature for each of the four individual settings. The heat generated by the chip is disbursed across the 65 x 55 mm oval heating element through individual layers of fiberglass and copper.

Funny story in the news, a puppy called 911 and when the police arrived it turned out that its owner was wanted by the cops anyway. In fact they figure the phone was dropped and the puppy stepped on it causing 911 to be called. The man has been arrested and the police think the puppy will be a good candidate for their K-9 division.
A lot of fuss in the news about the Liberal candidate, Justin Trudeau, who admits to smoking pot since he has been a member of parliament. His dad was Pierre Trudeau who was, IMHOP, a great prime minister and I think everyone was expecting him to follow in his father’s footsteps. Maybe that hope was unfounded.
Sunday we have friends coming for dinner. Should be fun. I am cooking a leg of lamb which we know they enjoy.
The only problem I have with this recipe is the ingredient 1 lb leftover grilled ribeye steak. I would never have any leftover steak, let alone a whole pound of it. Therefore to make it I would have to plan to grill the steak in advance.

MIKE GRIER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
MIKE GRIER RETIRES AFTER 14 NHL SEASONS Veteran winger played over 1,000 NHL games with Edmonton, Washington, Buffalo and San Jose
TORONTO (December 1, 2011) – Mike Grier, a hard-working and dependable winger who played his career with the Edmonton Oilers, Washington Capitals, Buffalo Sabres and San Jose Sharks, announced his retirement today from the National Hockey League (NHL) following a career that spanned 14 seasons.
Grier, 36, appeared in a total of 1,060 regular season NHL games, recording 162 goals and 221 assists for 383 points. He also played in 101 NHL playoff games, as his teams qualified for the playoffs in 11 of his 14 seasons in the league.
“I was very fortunate to be able to play 14 seasons in the NHL with some great players,” said Grier. “The memories and friendships that I have built during my time in the league will last a lifetime. I would like to thank my former teammates, family and fans for helping make my career so memorable for me. It was a great ride, and I am now excited and looking forward to my post-playing future.”
Grier was born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in the Boston area and although his family was active in professional football, Mike’s passion was for hockey. His dedication and hard-work enabled him to become one of the first hockey players of African-American descent who was born, raised and trained in the United States to play in the NHL.
Grier was drafted in the 9th round, 219th overall, of the 1993 NHL Entry Draft by the St. Louis Blues, but was traded to the Edmonton Oilers while attending Boston University. Mike honed his hockey skills in NCAA hockey, playing Division 1 at BU for three years starting in the 1993-94 season. Mike accumulated 120 points in 114 games played over his career at BU, and was named a Hobey Baker Finalist, an NCAA East First All-American Team and helped the Terriers win a National Championship in 1995.
Grier broke into the NHL during the 1996-97 season with the Edmonton Oilers, playing in 79 games while scoring 15 goals and 17 assists for 32 points as a rookie. He would spend six seasons in Edmonton, posting two 20-goal seasons, before being traded to Washington. Grier would stay with the Capitals for parts of two seasons, before being dealt at the trade deadline in 2004 to the Buffalo Sabres. He was a member of the Sabres during their run to the 2005-06 Eastern Conference Finals. He signed with San Jose as a free agent in the summer of 2006 and spent three seasons with the Sharks, making a trip to the playoffs in each of those seasons. He returned to Buffalo as a free-agent in 2009 and played the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons – the final two of his career – with the Sabres.
Mike and his wife Anne, and their three children, will reside in the Boston area.

EWU Awarded Community Grant
Published: May 06, 2014
CHENEY, Wash. - Eastern Washington University has been awarded a $149,995 College Spark Washington Community Grant to partner with Community Colleges of Spokane and K-12 school districts in the greater-Spokane region to improve the alignment of curriculum and assessments with each other and to the Common Core State Standards.
The annual, competitive statewide Community Grants Program focuses on building the effectiveness of grantees working with low-income students in middle, high school and college by funding new and promising practices that help students be college-ready and transition successfully to college.
"The College Spark grant will allow high school teachers and college professors to align curriculum around the rigorous expectations of the Common Core State Standards," said Wendy Watson, director of the Secondary Curriculum at Spokane Public Schools. "The goal is for students to transition seamlessly from high school to postsecondary coursework without the need for remediation."
This year's 12 grantees will measure results using at least one of the four following indicators of future college success:
• 8th Grade Algebra: Increasing the number of students who take and pass Algebra by the eighth grade.
• Early Warning Indicators: Decreasing the number of middle school students who trigger two of three early warning indicators: five or more absences per semester; course failure; suspension or expulsion.
• Remedial Education: Decreasing the number of students who require remedial education in college.
• College Math and English: Increasing the number of students who earn their first college-level credit in English or math.
"We are supporting organizations across the state working hard and making progress on postsecondary access, persistence and completion rates for low-income students," said Christine McCabe, executive director at College Spark Washington. "These grantees will be tracking their results and sharing what works."
Since 2005, College Spark Washington's Community Grants Program has awarded more than 100 Community Grants totaling $14 million.
To see a full list and descriptions of grantees visit the 2014 Community Grantees web page.
For information, please contact Barbara Alvin, EWU Mathematics department chair at firstname.lastname@example.org or 509.359.2203
College Spark Washington funds programs across Washington state that help low-income students become college-ready and earn their degrees. Grantees include community-based organizations, K-12 schools and districts, community and technical colleges, four-year colleges and universities, educational nonprofits, and public agencies. College Spark began supporting access to higher education in 1978 and, since 2005, has awarded more than $38 million to college readiness and degree completion programs throughout the state.

The Escalante Ranch is a century old western cattle operation located on the Western Slope of Colorado. It lies 25 miles south of Grand Junction and 12 miles northwest of Delta, Colorado. Stretching from the Gunnison River to the top of the Uncompahgre Plateau, it covers approximately 6,000 deeded acres and over 100,000 acres of leased, private, BLM and Forest Service ground. This contiguous block of land is approximately 6 miles wide and 30 miles long, with the elevation ranging from 4,600 feet along the river in the lower country to over 9,200 feet on the forest on top of the plateau. The change in elevation makes for unusually dry mild winters down below and tolerable moist summers in the high country. An ideal home for a 1,400 head cow-calf operation.
The ranch (known as the Musser Ranch for the last 100 years) was amassed by the Musser brothers, Jack & Tom and their father over the last 100 years. The Musser brothers were known for their promotion and sale of Beefmaster cattle. The ranch changed ownership in 1990 when purchased by Dick Miller, an east slope farmer who still actively manages the ranch and his farming operations. Miller's roots in the cattle industry stretch back prior to the depression when his grandfather, Palmer Miller and his great uncle, Waltman Miller of Miller Farms, Granger, Missouri championed the best and largest herd of purebred Shorthorn cattle in the United States.

Learning about how to increase your home’s value on a budget isn’t rocket science. However, if you aren’t aware of some of the basic tips and insider tricks, then you can make costly home improvements that won’t add up to value-added improvements.
The expression, “don’t judge a book by its cover” definitely doesn’t apply to houses. First impressions are extremely important; driving up to a home with an old, broken-down car in the driveway or out-of-control shrubbery can easily turn potential buyers away.
The rule of thumb for increasing your home’s value is to spend money on things a buyer can see.
For example, unless you are planning on living in your home for more than a decade, don’t install a new tankless water heater. This type of upgrade will take several years to see a return on and cost several thousands of dollars to install. Instead, focus on items such as a new garage door, landscaping or a new stainless steel kitchen sink.
Avoid the common mistake of over-improving. Consider what is the norm in your neighborhood. Do you live in a high-end neighborhood? Are home seekers looking for high-end appliances in homes in your area? Don’t bother installing fancy features in your home if it’s not what’s going on in the house next door. It won’t help increase the value enough to make it worth it.
Fix up the Exterior First, Then the Interior
Curb appeal matters and fixing up the exterior will instantly increase your curb appeal and your home’s value.
1. Clear up Clutter – Unnecessary objects around your yard should be removed. A downed gutter or downspout, old bikes, recycling bins and trash cans should all be arranged nicely in your back yard.
2. Landscaping – Spend time pruning your hedges, trees and shrubs. Low-maintenance landscaping can add real value. Lay down some mulch, plant a few native plants or hang some flower baskets on your porch. These budgeted landscaping ideas will save you money now and add value when you sell.

WIP (Work in Progress)
Inaugural exhibition of new space for STALA Contemporary Art Gallery.
The paintings for ‘Work in Progress’ was a continuation of my study of the way we interact with the inner city environment. Through this I became interested in how street art pieces on walls created another layer of information that reflected popular culture and mirrored our behaviour. Bringing these arrangements together creates the next level of commentary of these locations.

Conserving energy and finding cleaner sources of energy are two ways to reduce the threat of climate change and other effects of rampant fossil fuel use. Joining the clean energy revolution can also provide jobs and economic opportunities. The problems with our reliance on fossil fuels are well-known: air and water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, and rising prices as easily accessible sources dwindle, to name a few. With our work on clean energy, advocacy, and communications, the David Suzuki Foundation is committed to finding climate solutions that can improve the health of our citizens, our environment, and our economy.
Canadians call for ambitious agreement at UN Climate Summit
Our campaign leading up to the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen in December 2009 showed that Canadians care about climate change and are willing to let politicians know how they feel. More than 14,300 Canadians joined us in making telephone calls, sending letters and handwritten cards, and posting videos online to demand that our federal government take real action on climate change.
While Canada's prime minister and world leaders failed to deliver the fair, ambitious, and binding agreement we need to fight global warming, the movement for solutions in Canada and around the world has never been as strong or as alive. This includes calls for action by faith leaders, athletes, health professionals, students, and many more, as well as progress by Canadian provinces and cities.
Guide to green business wins international readership
It's a first for the David Suzuki Foundation. Our how-to guide, Doing Business in a New Climate, was such a hit that international publisher Earthscan released it as a book. The book's subtitle, A guide to measuring, reducing and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions, offers an indication of what you'll find between its covers.
Study shows economy can grow by decreasing emissions
Contrary to what some politicians argue, Canada can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to the level that leading scientists say is necessary to avoid runaway climate change — and can do so without harming our economy. That's the conclusion of a report by the David Suzuki Foundation and the Pembina Institute that was supported by TD Bank. The analysis, Climate leadership, economic prosperity, by economist Mark Jaccard, showed that Canada's GDP can continue to grow while Canada works to meet science- based greenhouse gas reduction targets.
Research begins for Trottier Energy Futures Project
Canada is one of the only developed nations without a coordinated energy plan. We've teamed up with the Canadian Academy of Engineering and the Trottier Family Foundation to embark on a five-year project to research the best renewable energy options for Canada. We will engage Canadians, from energy experts to citizens, to analyze our current and potential energy sources, systems, and needs, and develop a sustainable energy plan.
Foundation pushes 2010 Winter Olympics in carbon neutral direction
In February 2010, Vancouver and Canada hosted the world for the Winter Olympics. The Foundation did its part by helping the organizing committee (VANOC) prepare a carbon-neutral strategy for the event. We also assessed how well the Games did in reducing overall climate impact, and awarded the Games a "bronze" with the hope that future Olympic and other major events will do even more to curb emissions.

KNOXVILLE — Mimi Williams of Maryville said the first time she met Pat Summitt, she melted.
“I have two heroes,” said Williams, ticking them off — her grandmother and the legendary Lady Vols coach.
Williams volunteered at Summitt’s basketball camps and said Summit saw her in line at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and called her by name, much to the surprise of those around Williams.
Williams said she admired Summitt for her straight-forward honesty and how she considered everyone around her a friend.
On Thursday, those who admired Summitt came to Thompson-Boling Arena from throughout the state and across state lines. It was a family event — mothers and daughters, grandfathers and grandsons, and sisters alike.
Together, a crowd of more than 6,000 remembered Summitt, along with fellow fans, former players and a host of basketball coaches from across the country. They listened as Tyler Summitt, Mickie DeMoss, Peyton Manning and others shared stories and inside jokes, laughing at all the right times.
“She was very simple in her wisdom. She was also someone who did things the right way and never compromised her values for anyone or anything,” said Nikki Fargas, a former player and current Louisiana State University women’s basketball coach.
Helen Beresford of Knoxville said she would watch Summitt coach on TV and wondered if her intensity was as real as it seemed on TV. After moving to Tennessee, Beresford said she saw Summitt coach in person, confirming that legendary intensity was no joke.
That same intensity is one of the reasons that Tina Hosse of Murfreesboro admired Summitt and raised her twin daughters, Jessica Cunningham and Stephanie Puertolas, as Lady Vol fans.
The sisters, now mothers themselves, said they fell in love with the team and wanted to come to Knoxville to honor Summitt, who was a familiar face and like family.
While some attendees said their kids were too little to understand or not basketball fans quite yet, others said they came because Summitt and her teams defined their childhoods.: Chelsea McCulloch of Mountain City grew up playing basketball and attending Summitt’s camps.
“My childhood was Pat Summitt,” she said.
Emma Meschede, of Maryville, is a rising seventh-grader and Lady Vol fan who named her dolls after her favorite Lady Vol player, Candace Parker.
“I love everything about her,” Meschede said of Summitt, adding that the coach pushed her players to be better and better.
Melanie Haynes of Viera, Fla, graduated from UT in 2001 and was on campus for three Lady Vol national championships. Haynes said she was in Charlotte, N.C., when she decided to come to Knoxville for the event honoring Summitt. She said it was amazing to see Summitt coach and see the great respect that people had for her.
“It was exciting to be a part of history and of something bigger,” she said of being a student while Summitt was coaching.
And then there was Ronnie Wagenseller, of Elizabethton, Tenn., a Lady Vol fan who brought his daughter, Savannah, and 6-year-old grandson, Karson Tanner, with him on Thursday.
Wagenseller said one of the reasons he admired Summitt is because she’d make her players sit in the front of the classroom.
That dedication to both athletics and academics is what Shiela Wood-Navarro of Knoxville also pointed out, adding that all Summitt’s players who completed their eligibility graduated.
Former Tennessee football coach Johnny Majors added Summit was “the best.”
“You can’t say more about that, because the best is the best. She made things happen that hadn’t happened before in basketball,” he said.

To address business continuity issues, the system installs a preconfigured storage appliance on a customers LAN (local area network) that captures snapshots of the servers operating state, including applications and settings. The system captures a complete server image every month and incremental images each week. Customers also can opt for daily incremental images. In the event of a failure, the system can then use the LAN to recover the contents of the most recent server image to another server.
To handle disaster recovery, the system can apply an agent to the on-site appliance, allowing server images stored on the local recovery appliance to be backed up over the customers existing network, Brick said. Customers can initiate a complete system, data and bare metal recovery to a recovery site if necessary.
Also at SNW, iVivity Inc., of Norcross, Ga., and StorAge Networking Technologies, of Irvine, Calif., joined forces to offer an ASIC-based, SPAID-optimized (Split-Path Architecture for Intelligent Devices) SAN (storage area network) product. The products are based on the concept of split-path separation, which provides separate paths for management and I/O in a SAN fabric, according to the companies.
The product will allow OEMs to implement intelligent network or array-based SPAID SANs that deploy data protection storage services like snapshots, replication, migration, local and remote mirroring, and volume management.

Finally, Avamar Technologies Inc., of Irvine, Calif., announced the newest version of its Axion enterprise data protection software. Version 3.0 now includes enhanced commonality factoring, allowing the amount of backup data transmitted over the network and managed by Axion to be reduced by up to 45 percent. The result, said CEO Kevin Daly, is a reduction in hardware costs for deployment as well as the network bandwidth needed to perform off-site replication of backup data.
Axion 3.0, built on Enterprise Linux 3, also allows users to protect data on 64-bit x86 systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, provides the ability to protect Oracle databases on the Windows platform, and supports open file backups for Windows 2003 and XP clients via the Windows Virtual Shadow Copy Service.

Since its founding in 1991, The Friends School of Atlanta has enjoyed the support of a remarkably generous community. Throughout the years FSA parents, as well as the Board, faculty, staff, alum families, members of Atlanta Friends Meeting and friends of the school, have given their time, talents and financial support to sustain a values-based education offered in a diverse, nurturing learning community. While there are countless ways to support the school through volunteer support and other gifts in kind, there are five primary vehicles for providing financial support:
- The Annual Appeal provides essential support for the operations of the school.
- The Annual Benefit Auction, organized and run by the family volunteers of FSPATA (Friends School Parent and Teacher Association), each year provides a wonderful evening of fun and fund raising in support of FSA.
- Business Sponsorships offer businesses marketing exposure to the FSA community and attendees of FSA events while at the same time supporting the important work of the school.
- The State Tax Credit Scholarship Fund, administered for FSA by the Apogee Scholarship Fund Organization, allows you or your company to redirect your Georgia state income tax dollars to provide tuition assistance for new FSA students coming from public schools or just entering pre-kindergarten, kindergarten or first grade.
- The Legacy of Light Society includes friends of FSA who have included the school in their estate planning. Unless otherwise designated, planned gifts such as bequests and charitable remainder trusts support FSA’s endowment fund, the Legacy of Light Fund, ensuring the long-term financial health of the school. Such gifts can be structured to benefit the donor and/or the donor’s estate as well as FSA.

Heaps of bodies are being uncovered amongst the rubble of Mosul and in its river, threatening contamination and a public health emergency. While the Iraqi government is now working to clear the main roads through the city, some of the bodies are being dumped in the river. Many more lay scattered on the riverbanks. A number of people have returned to the east side has since been diagnosed with diseases that may be related to the water contamination.
Meanwhile, Royal Jordanian Airlines stated they will resume flights from Amman to airports in the Kurdistan Region on April 1, with the first one flying to Sulaimani. Passengers will be offered a discounted price of 280 JOD (about $395) for the two-way trip and travelers can buy tickets from Friday [March 16] through the end of this month to travel between April 1 and June 8.
Lastly, FIFA lifted a three-decade long ban on Iraq on Friday, allowing three provinces to host international football matches. Three cities, Erbil, Basra and Karbala had been allowed last year to host friendly matches, providing the security situation was “stable.” On March 21, Iraq is set to host Qatar and Syria for one such friendly tournament in Basra.

who essays the male lead in Imagine
and BAG Films' newly launched show Looteri Dulhan
is on Cloud Nine, after fulfilling one of his longest desires…
Ask him about it, and he goes down the memory lane and says, "My grand father possessed a Vintage car, a Buick Park Avenue model somewhere in the year 1918. My dad as a kid used to get excited whenever he stepped into it. We have grown hearing great stories about this ancestral car that my fore fathers possessed. I have always wanted to drive a car of this model, and I recently got this opportunity thro' Looteri Dulhan
Talking about the experience, Mrunal states, "In Looteri Dulhan
, I play the character of Abhinav who is a Rajkumar. The production house wanted me to use a vintage car for the shoot. And to my pleasant surprise, I was given the same model which my ancestors had with them. I got excited the moment I saw it, and have been driving the car all thro' the shoot (smiles)".
In the show, Mrunal plays Abhinav who is a very straightforward person, who does not want to live the life of a Yuvraj. He wants to be a free bird, and is against the dictatorial rule of his King father.
Just enjoy the moment, Mrunal!! Reporter and Author: Srividya Rajesh

The experience is pleasant, a beautiful and large drawing surface, the tools present but discreet, intuitive use.
No bugs so far.
If an improvement is possible, for the onion skin: the designs behind one color and the designs in front of another. This would allow us to better know where we are in the inbetweens.
Thank you for your good work. congratulations.
