From write up:
"Taking an audacious and shocking angle against the constitutional eligibility mandate, Obama's lawyer, Alexandra Hill, admitted that the image of Obama's birth certificate was a forgery and made the absurd claim that, therefore, it cannot be used as evidence to confirm his lack of natural born citizenship status. Therefore, she argued, it is "irrelevant to his placement on the ballot"..." (The judge agrees? Corruption everywhere)

Ramsar Advisory Mission to Panama, November 2008
Malheureusement, il n'y a pas de version française de ce document.
Bahía de Panama (48,919 ha), situated on the Pacific coast of Panama, was designated as a Ramsar site no. 1319 in October 2003 and San San-Pond Sak (16,414 ha) as Ramsar site no. 611, in June 1993.
In October 2007 the Government of Panama (ANAM) requested the Ramsar Secretariat to send a mission to assess the status of these two Ramsar sites as they were facing different threats that could affect the ecological character of the sites.
In order to assess those threats and provide some recommendations to ANAM, a Ramsar Advisory Mission (RAM) visited the area between 18-28 November 2008, reviewed documents, and consulted with government officials, NGOs, and local communities.
San San-Pond Sak is being affected by the pressure of such different human activities as banana tree plantation, unsustainable tourism, and pollution. The construction of some dams upstream will probably affect its ecological character in the future.
Bahía de Panama has faced and continues to face important modifications to its ecological characteristics due to river modifications, as well as wetlands drainage and land reclamation for urban expansions of Panama city. Water pollution presents a high potential risk for human health, and the mangroves are being impacted by sand extraction, chemical factories, and livestock activities.
The ecological character modifications of San San-Pond Sak and Bahia de Panama affect the functions and services they provide, thus having an impact in human health and the loss of housing, crops, and so on.
In brief summary, the Ramsar Advisory Mission recommended that San San-Pond Sak and Bahia de Panama be included in the Montreux Record of Ramsar sites where changes in ecological character have occurred, are occurring, or are likely to occur as a result of technological developments, pollution or other human interference.
Other highlighted measures recommended by the mission for San San-Pond Sak are:
1) Consult and collaborate with Pronat to use the land tenure study results
2) Have a clear definition of the limits of the Ramsar site and the protected area
3) Update the current management plan
4) Undertake a land use zoning in the Ramsar site
5) Regulate the river transportation
6) Do not accept tourism developments inside the Ramsar site and where they can affect the ecological character of the site.
For the Bahía de Panama Ramsar site:
1) Designate the site as a protected area in national legislation
2) Update the Ramsar Information Sheet including in the new limits all of the wetlands of the coastal-marine zone (mangroves, lagoons, estuaries)
3) Prepare a management plan
4) Undertake a land use zoning in the Ramsar site
5) Carry out hydrological rehabilitation and restoration of the mangrove areas affected by the road from Río Tapia to Pacora river
6) Monitor the activities of sand extraction and acetylene production in the Ramsar site to ensure that they fulfill the environmental law regulations
7) Monitor of the water quality in estuaries, coastal zone, waterbirds.
The report of the mission, which was carried out by María Rivera and Montserrat Carbonell, is available here (in Spanish).

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Lost in the hype of the matchup between Florida Gulf Coast University point guard Brett Comer and Florida point guard Scottie Wilbekin is the difference senior Mike Rosario makes when he plays well for the Gators.
The dichotomy between good Rosario and bad Rosario is staggering.
In Florida's opening-round win against Northwestern State, Rosario was benched for the final 13 minutes after failing to box out on a simple rebound opportunity. A similar situation occurred against Alabama on March 2 when Rosario was careless with the ball.
Less than 48 hours later, in Florida's Round of 32 win over Minnesota, Rosario lit up the scoreboard with 25 points on 6-of-9 shooting from three-point range. He was unstoppable and helped the Gators on a night leading scorer Kenny Boynton accounted for just seven points.
Rosario has been the epitome of an enigma after transferring to Florida from Rutgers following his sophomore season. He didn't play much last season and did not make a single start as a redshirt junior, struggling to stay on the floor because of mistakes.
After two full seasons under Billy Donovan's tutelage, that all changed this season.
Rosario led the team in scoring 15 times this season and started all 34 games. He is one of the top 50 active scorers in the nation and a key piece of UF's team.
Earlier this week, Donovan admitted that when all is said and done, he will look back on the turnaround of Rosario as one his most rewarding coaching accomplishments.
"There are so many things for him that I love about him. He's got such a good heart, he's a good kid," Donovan said, adding that holding Rosario accountable on and off the court has been instrumental in his success. "I give him credit that he, in basically 36 hours, can turn back around and re-shift his focus and come out and play like he did. And I don't know if we don't as a coaching staff hold him accountable, that he could have played the way he did against Minnesota."
Liking It Sweet
The Gators under Donovan entered Friday's game against FGCU 5-1 in Sweet 16 games.
Florida's last loss in the Sweet 16 came against Gonzaga in 1999 as a No. 6 seed. With more than 48 hours to prepare for a game in the tournament, Donovan has been lethal, beating Duke (2000), Georgetown (2006), Butler (2007), BYU (2011) and Marquette last season.
Internet Hit
After capturing the nation's attention by becoming the first No. 15 seed to ever advance to the Sweet 16, FGCU has become more popular than pop icon Justin Bieber — at least when it comes to Internet searches this week.
According to Yahoo!, FGCU is being searched more times this week Bieber, North Korea, Lindsay Lohan, NFL.com and Dancing With The Stars. The team is the most-searched of the 16 remaining in the NCAA Tournament.

Department of Communication Alumni Quotes:
"As someone who aspired to be an announcer on the radio, I had a pretty thick 'southern' accent. Plus I was shy and uncomfortable speaking in front of a crowd, no matter how small. My speech minor corrected my 'drawl' and my Public Speaking classes enabled me to become more comfortable in front of a crowd, also in constructing an interesting speech. Boy, I had some really bad ones at first, that literally put one guy to sleep! I worked on air in Radio for four years and also produced hundreds of commercials. My career led me into Radio sales and management, then into television and digital sales management. I still do a few segments on our live Listens show, using my experience from years ago. I'm very comfortable in front of a Live TV camera, and I owe a lot of that to my wonderful teachers in the Department of Communication!" ~ Doug Garrett
"Giving the gift of attentive presence to another person is the most effective way to engage in relationship, whether it be professional or personal." ~ Tony Glore
"Effective advocacy is the art of analyzing a situation, creating a strong message, and adapting that message to your target audience in order to achieve the desired goal." ~ Andy Spears, Ph.D.
"My Masters Degree in Communication gave me the gift of being able to adapt my talents to the situation at hand, create my own path to success, and the self confidence to lead others when called upon." ~ Melissa (Missy) McCubbin Barman
"I am able to adapt to the needs of various lines of business within the company and provide better support through my understanding of communication." ~ Patti Grice
"As a consultant, I advocate that companies really understand the difference between hearing and listening: that the former is the physical act of acknowledging the existence of noise, and that the latter refers to the active process of internalizing and understanding what that noise means." ~ Sam Ford

Holy crap. I just checked the TV listings and it looks like they're making my poor, injury-depleted Wizards play the Bulls tomorrow on ABC. How embarrassing!

Incidentally, I've been considering following up my outlandish John Edwards pick for the Democratic nomination with a daring prediction that the Chicago Bulls will take the Eastern Conference crown.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Oil futures added to gains Wednesday after the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a 1 million-barrel decline in crude supplies for the week ended Jan. 11. Analysts polled by Platts expected a 2.5 million-barrel climb. Motor gasoline supplies rose 1.9 million barrels, while distillate stocks added 1.7 million barrels, the EIA report said.

Following the latest data, February crude CLG3, +0.00% traded at $93.88 a barrel, up 60 cents. It was trading around $93.52 ahead of the report.

Five miles separate the workplaces of Brad Wilson and Ken Johnson.
In their long and distinguished coaching careers, they've walked a lot further than that distance on their respective sidelines.
Wilson is beginning his ninth year as the head football coach at Westminster High School.
Johnson, the dean of Carroll coaches, is in his 10th season at Winters Mill and his 19th overall in the county.
The two preside over football programs that have become successful largely because of their abiding commitment to the young men they've influenced through the years.
Life of Sport
Brad Wilson prepared for a career in athletics from a young age. A 1978 graduate of Meade High School, he played three sports for the Mustangs. He moved on to Anne Arundel Community College, where he played football, basketball and baseball for two years.
He played another year of football at Frostburg State College, but Wilson's career ended after he tore ligaments in his ankle. When he returned home for Christmas break, his high school coach Butch Young offered him a coaching position.
"He said that if I transferred back here, I could help coach the baseball team," Wilson said. "Coaching was what I wanted to do, so I decided to take the job."
Within the next year, Wilson became an assistant varsity football coach on the staff of his former coach, Jerry Mears, and accepted an offer to serve as the head jayvee basketball coach at Meade. The three-sport athlete had become a three-sport coach.
"There aren't too many people who can say that they coached under their high school coaches," Wilson said. "I ended up staying at Meade for 10 more years."
Coaching three sports was a time-consuming exercise, and Wilson took a hiatus from college. But there was one hitch.
"They called me in during one summer and asked if I was going back to school," Wilson said. "I told them that I eventually would. They said 'yeah, you are.' I had to enroll the next day, or I wouldn't be coaching there anymore."
Wilson immediately enrolled in summer school at Towson State University, and earned his degree in education in 1987.
When Mears died, Arundel's Chuck Markiewicz became the head coach at Meade and promoted Wilson to varsity defensive coordinator. They served together for three years before Markiewicz was hired as the head coach at North County High. Wilson went north with him. In 2000, Wilson got his first head coaching position when he was tabbed to lead the Glen Burnie High program.
"It was tough for me to leave North County and coach Markiewicz, but I wanted to be a head football coach," Wilson said.
He coached the Gophers for four years, and led a losing football program out of the wilderness. Wilson's teams were winless his first two years, then went 7-3 and narrowly missed the playoffs. His final Glen Burnie team, featuring current Kansas City Chiefs' offensive tackle Branden Albert, finished 6-4.
By 2004, Wilson was ready for another challenge. After coaching in Anne Arundel County for 24 years, he decided to apply for the head coaching position at Westminster.
"At that point in my life, I just needed a change," Wilson said. "I wanted to go to a place where there was a football tradition, and where the game was important. That was Westminster."
Under Wilson's leadership, the Owls took flight. After a 5-5 season in 2004, Wilson and his staff guided one of the best teams in county history. The 2005 Owls were the class of the county and the region, completing the regular season with a 9-1 mark and earning the top seed in the Class 3A North playoffs.

Inside Wall Street: Lodging demand rises
Marriott, InterContinental and Starwood lead an early rebound.
The lodging industry was one of the hardest hit sectors of the economy, with the major multinational hotel companies bearing the brunt of the global recession's adverse impact. But as the industry started to recover this year, the same top hoteliers and hospitality companies that reeled from the downturn are now leading the recovery's early phase.
So shares of top-ranking lodging companies, Marriott International (MAR), InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) and Starwood Hotels & Resorts (HOT), have been on the rise, even as other lodging stocks are still nursing their wounds.
Steven Kent, lodging analyst at Goldman Sachs, expects a "solid (second) quarter" for the group as the U.S. revenue-per-available-room (RevPAR) stays strong, in part driven by the fact that the lodging supply has not increased even as global demand has been improving.
"There are no indications that supply is increasing in the U.S., and global demand growth remains positive even if it is slowing in certain regions," says Kent in a report on the lodging industry. For the big three (Marriott, Starwood and InterContinental), "we believe trends should be good, although we would expect Marriott to show the best RevPAR growth given its U.S. focus and recent trends picking up in group business," notes Kent.
"As our favorite name in our coverage, we expect Marriott to benefit from the positive industry trends we are currently seeing," says Kent. Given Marriott's heavy exposure to the U.S., about 80% of total rooms, he expects the company to benefit from a strong U.S. RevPAR environment of about 7%. At its Investors Day held in China in June, Marriott highlighted its expansive pipeline, saying it will add more than 100 hotels by 2014, with nearly 40 in China alone. Today Marriott has 22,800 managed rooms in China.
Shares of Marriott are trading at $38 a share, not far from its 52-week high of $40.45, and way up from its 52-week low of $25.49 last year. David Loeb, analyst at investment firm Robert W. Baird, who rates Marriott as "outperform," figures that with its "solid balance sheet and significant free cash flow generation," the company will earn $1.64 a share in 2012 and $1.90 a share in 2013, up from 2011's $1.40 a share.
Zacks Investment Research, which rates the stock as "outperform" with a 12-month price target of $44 a share, has higher earnings forecasts of $1.66 a share for 2012, and $2 per share for 2013. In a recent report on Marriott's prospects, Zacks said the company's strong pipeline, significant international exposure, solid balance sheet, aggressive buyback strategy and lower operating cost structure, augur well for its earnings growth prospects. It notes that Marriott has been increasing its market share in its various markets.
Goldman Sachs's Kent expects the biggest news could come from Starwood as it has indicated it is in talks to sell some of its hotels, and "it could announce something bigger on the capital allocation front," he says.
Starwood, which is one of the world's largest lodging companies with more than 1,000 hotels in about 100 countries, is positioned to benefit from international economies, "and we expect major metropolitan markets, in which Starwood has higher exposure, to outperform over the long term," says Esther Kwon, analyst at S&P Capital IQ, who rates the stock a "buy."
Its hotel brands include St. Regis, which is in the luxury-hotel category; Sheraton, a full-service hotel and resorts; and W boutique, which are full-service urban hotels. Although Kwon is worried over the mixed economic data in the U.S. and the turmoil in Europe, she believes limited supply growth in the U.S. and Europe and Starwood's greater exposure to faster-growth Asian markets could partially offset those concerns and favor Starwood's prospects.
Starwood's stock has been moving higher, to $51 a share, up from a 52-week low of $36 on Oct. 3, 2011. Kwon sees the stock rising to $69 a share in 12 months. After selling much of its owned-hotel portfolio over the past several years, receiving about $5.6 billion for them, Starwood now primarily focuses on maximizing earnings and cash flow by managing and franchising hotels.
On InterContinental, the world's largest hotel group by number of rooms, Goldman Sachs's "buy" recommendation is based on its improving RevPAR, which was up 7.7% in 2012's second quarter, beating most analysts' forecast. Its stock is trading at $24 a share, up from its 52-week low of $15 hit on Nov, 25, 2011. The company owns, leases, franchises or manages more than 4,500 hotels and over 661,000 guest rooms in 100 countries. Among its brand hotels: Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Candlewood Suites, Hotel Indigo, and InterContinental.
Fred Lowrance, analyst at Avondale partners, who rates the stock as "outperform," has raised his 12-month target for the stock to $29 from $27. "While the shares have performed well year-to-date, we believe there is still recent upside remaining, given earnings growth prospects and the current valuation discount relative to peers," says Lowrance.
He's positive on 2012 and beyond, says the analyst, encouraged by its RevPAR gain of 5.2% in Europe last April. And Lowrance expects a continuation of strong demand trends in the U.S. and China. Looking beyond 2012, the analyst says "persistent positive industry trends, significant exposure to high growth emerging markets, and the return of more substantial system growth should continue to support InterContinental's healthy RevPAR and earnings growth."

Setting the Standard for Buckhead Dog Daycare & Grooming
Our newest facility, near the corner of Peachtree and Pharr Road in Buckhead, specializes in daycare for small and medium sized dogs and offers grooming for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Bring your dog for a half day or full day, to play in our brightly colored, open play area.
Discerning dogs with good taste are running to Buckhead for our Concierge Boarding services. Bring your dog to Buckhead, and we'll transport her via BHV's first doggie limo, to one of our luxury doggie hotels in Midtown (See more information below). You can choose boarding ranging from standard, for our more socialized active guests, to luxury boarding for those who want something more quiet and serene.
Our Buckhead location was recently named one of Buckhead's Top 10 New Boutiques by CBS Atlanta. One reason could be our decadent Doggie Dessert Bar featuring all-natural doggie treats, ice cream and baked goods.
Be sure to check out our Daycare Package Rates, listed below, to save on daily daycare.
The Buckhead location carries a number of grain free food brands for purchase, including: Fromm, PureVita, NutriSource, Acana, Orijen and Earthborn.
- 100% free play all day for small and medium dogs (45 pounds and under) separated by size and activity level
- Outdoor yard with plenty of shade and swimming pool (in-season)
- Early morning and evening hours allow for drop off and pick up flexibility
- Great location for active, social dogs
- We carry a wide variety of premium dog foods, all-natural treats, toys, leashes and collars. And we always have doggie ice cream available!
- Parents can grab a bite from Sophie's Deli and Bakery next door while their dog plays or gets groomed.
- Exclusive snout cams so you can watch your dog play all day
Concierge Boarding Information
Our doggie concierge will make boarding reservations for you at one of our Midtown luxury boarding locations – based on your dog's needs and temperament. As with all of our boarding options, full activity daycare is included.
- Drop-off and pick-up here – we'll limo your dog to and from his or her doggie hotel **
- Assisted living services are available for older dogs or dogs with special needs at our boarding locations
Our Rates
Barking Hound Village Buckhead offers several daycare and boarding options for our guests.
Our Standard Daycare offers free play throughout the day for dogs 45 pounds and under.
BHV Buckhead actually boards your dog at our Midtown locations. You can drop off and pick up in Buckhead and we'll transport them to our other locations which offer Standard Boarding in private kennels for dogs of the same family. They also offer three levels of suites for a more private, secluded time away from everyone else – with a little extra pampering thrown in for good measure.

Head & Shoulders Citrus Breeze Shampoo Reviews
My hair must be alot different, because this didn't work for me..I don't have dandruff, so I have nothing to say about how it works for that. The only reason I bought it was for my oily scalp. I had read somewhere that any shampoo with citrus was good for controling oil. This just don't work for me...I noticed absolutly NO difference in my oily hair, I even washed twice. The only pro was that it made my hair somewhat softer. But it must be a good product because everyone else rated it a 10! Just not for me :( — 3 years, 2 months agolanigaga | 113 reviews

Good but only for a little while...I suffer from dandruff and oily hair and after trying this product, this did make my hair feel shiny and light. At first, I thought this was great. However, it didn't treat my dandruff at all. Even worse, after about three uses, it caused my scalp to itch like CRAZY! My scalp became very dry and it caused me to rigorously scratch my head. I've stopped using it ever since. Ugh! I'm never going back. — 6 months, 4 weeks agoInstamaticKarma | 34 reviews

i had high expectations!Most anti-dandruff shampoos make my hair greasy, so when I saw this I was so excited, this should not only remove the white flakes but also the citrus should make the oiliness go awas ...well it actually made it very dry and even more flaky due to the dryness, but in a weird way it also made my hair so oily after like 5 hours! i stuck to it for like a month waiting for better results to appear, but it just didn't work for me :( — 1 year, 4 months agoKennymg33 | 7 reviews

H&S Citrus FreshI bought a new bottle of shampoo today and thought I would check out what other people thought of it on here. The shampoo I bought is labelled "Citrus Fresh" not Breeze, so after looking through about 5 or so reviews I realised they were the same thing. On the bottle I bought it says "New formula" so they obviously altered the name a bit as well. My hair is greasy and I sometimes get a small amoun...read moret of dandruff around Fall and/or Christmas. The price of this Shampoo is very decent and the bottle looks good. I also really enjoy the lemon smell from it. I will report back on how good/bad this product is after I have gotten the chance to try it. Will report back soon. — 2 years, 1 month agoBeautyFatality | 1 reviews
Best. Ever.My hair is a disaster. I love the head and shoulders line. I can't even venture from it unless I want horrible, flaky hair. My hair is do greasy after one day of going unwashed. But this shampoo made my hair go unwashed for three days before showing any signs of dandruff or grease. — 2 years, 2 months agomariaguillen | 2 reviews

H&S Citrus Is The BestFor years I had dandruff and felt like there wasn't a product out there that could help my situation. I tried buying those $15 medicine smelling shampoos that were supposed to help. I tried all the variations of the H&S product line and none of them initially worked (for my scalp). I tried the dark blue bottle (I forget what that was called). I tried H&S for oily hair, H&S for dry ...read morehair...when those bottle ran out, I'd try the next one to see if it helped. Eventually I saw H&S Citrus and had never heard of it. After a few uses, I was shocked. My dandruff was completely gone...completely. My head doesn't itch anymore...and doesn't smell like medicine. For the simple fact that I no longer have dandruff, I'd say that price is perfect. No more inflamed scalp, no more flakes, no more burn, no more itch...totally gone. No more tapping on my scalp because I'm afraid to scratch and make the flakes come flying off (you know what I'm talking about =-). When I tell people that I use H&S Citrus they remark that they didn't know I had dandruff. Now that's what I'm talking about. I use it every time I shower. I take a travel bottle with me because I'm afraid to use other shampoos in hotels and my relatives homes. I'll never stop buying H&S Citrus and will be totally bummed if they ever stop making this particular bottle. — 4 years, 11 months agoJoshua1973 | 1 reviews

THREE RIVERS (WKZO) -- A wild and dangerous chase in St. Joseph County has ended with three men in jail and a young infant back with his mother.
Three Rivers police say men suspected in a number of thefts were spotted leaving the local Walmart and pulled over after they left the parking lot. When the officer got out, he ordered the driver to turn off his engine. Instead the driver bolted and in the high speed chase that followed, the suspects crashed into a power pole on Constantine St.
The three men, identified as Antonio and Charles Hearn and William Powell fled on foot, the driver dropping stolen items and bleeding from an injured leg, which made it easy for a K-9 to him track down.
Two others were spotted by neighbors and reported and then arrested. One of them was carrying a 6 month old baby, who had been in the car at the time of the crash.
The baby received treatment and was returned to its mother.
The three men face a variety of charges including driving drunk, child endangerment, fleeing and eluding, larceny, resisting arrest and child abuse.

Sometimes I Sit
in a room lit only
by sunlight
so I can see the edges
where bright and dark
meet. I watch the sunlight
with boundaries, cross
the hesitant windowsill
and explore with square fingers
the opposite wall
or sprawl on the ceiling
at dawn
as if gravity had been reversed
in the moment
between day and night.
If I sit still enough
The light may perch
on my fingertips,
a moth whose dusty wings
beat exactly once a day.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Ordered these thank you cards, they arrived in no time. Can't wait to send these out!! I will definitely order more soon!!"
"Wow, wow, wow. I really just couldn't say enough nice things about the thank you cards. We had them personal used with our/my new last name instead of two first names like the example. We were both very happy with the results. I wanted to make sure we had a stack of thank you cards that matched our wedding stationery in advance of the wedding. Now we can get started with our "thank yous" right away after the big day....or at least right after the honeymoon."
"These cards are great quality and beautifully designed and printed. The colors were customized exactly to our specifications and they arrived quickly!"
"I'm sending these simple little thank you cards to my daughter, complete with stamps, pretty pens and an admonishment to USE THEM!"
"Love my thank you cards for my upcoming bridal shower. Simple, elegant and to the point. I also was able to match the color of the flowers to my girls dresses."

"The card itself was perfect I loved the design the only issue was that instead of delivering to my current address that I had put on the order my order was sent to my old address in New York which was on my profile but not the address I had put to be sent to. Luckily my parents still live there and sent it to me in Louisiana."
"I like the fonts chosen for this card. The honoree didn't tell me where she was registered until I submitted the order. I contacted Customer Service right away and they were able to adjust the text before it went to print. I like their free Design service that gives a second set of eyes to the product before it prints."
"I ordered this invitation as well as the matching thank you cards and favor labels for a baby shower. I was extremely delighted with my order. The paper quality was excellent as was the print and colour quality. The turnaround time from printing to delivery was very fast and my items were delivered by the date that was promised. I had a few questions concerning my order so I contacted customer service. The customer service staff was very courteous and professional and my questions were answered promptly and my concerns were addressed immediately and to my satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Tiny Prints."
"Love the cards! Excellent quality , beautiful colors and chic envelopes. and very easy to personalize. I highly recommend it. I am definitely printing my baby announcement cards with TIny Prints. Thanks so much!"
"I am so happy with my choice of Woodland Wonder! The quality of the print and paper are excellent. I also took advantage of the design service; customer service is outstanding. The invites were packaged well with a timely delivery! I would definitely order from Tinyprints again!"

While coping with a pressure-cooker work environment, Scott Chadd discovered inner peace while tending little trees.
"I was leading a high-stress, fast-paced life," recalled Chadd, former director of public works and transportation for El Dorado County. "I found bonsai was a wonderful escape from all that stress."
Chadd started work on his first bonsai tree 40 years ago. Today he is an accomplished bonsai teacher and has his own nursery, Lotus Bonsai near Placerville.
This week, he's busy coordinating an exquisite miniature forest in Sacramento's DoubleTree Hotel. Hundreds of artfully manicured and trained trees will be on display during the 35th annual Golden State Bonsai Federation convention.
"Statewide, we have 78 clubs with more than 10,000 members," said Chadd, the show's co-chairman. "We also have affiliates in Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona."
With four active clubs, Sacramento has long been an epicenter of American bonsai. The nation's oldest bonsai organization, the Sacramento Bonsai Club, co-hosts the convention with the American Bonsai Association of Sacramento, Bonsai Sekiyu Kai and the Satsuki Aikokai Bonsai Association.
The show will honor Harry Hirao, a 94-year-old bonsai master who still teaches, collects and styles trees. Hirao's specialty is California junipers. His work inspired a major display for this show.
"We'll have a display of all California native trees," Chadd said. "Almost all of them were collected from nature.
"For the first time, we'll have a judged show with $1,500 in prizes," he added. "They do it in Japan, they do it Europe; why not do it here? It's a great stimulant to improve your product."
More than 200 bonsai enthusiasts are expected to attend the four-day convention, which opens Thursday. The event includes 19 workshops and seminars featuring some of the world's most accomplished bonsai experts.
Among them will be British bonsai star Kevin Wilson, who will be making his first U.S. appearance. Ryan Neil and David Nguy, who both studied with Japanese master Masahiko Kimura, will demonstrate their styling techniques.
The public is welcome to attend. Registration is necessary for seminars and workshops, but the show and vendor mall are open for free Friday and Saturday.
"We'll have vendors from throughout the U.S., selling tools, pots and bonsai," Chadd said. "And our artists really are globally renowned. It's all very exciting."
That is, in a calming, peaceful kind of way.
Old roses inspire hunt
About 100 rose experts gathered in Sacramento last weekend to compare research and celebrate a local gem the historic City Cemetery. A member of the Great Rosarians of the World international hall of fame, the city-owned cemetery garden which is open free to the public every day but Wednesdays and Thursdays contains many rare rose varieties, thanks to volunteers.
Angelique Ashby, Sacramento's vice mayor, lauded the preservationists' efforts.
"No matter what's happening with the economy, we have beautiful roses for everyone to enjoy," Ashby said. "(Garden leader) Barbara Oliva embodies the best of Sacramento."
Rose hunters hope they'll find more rarities. Early California breeders produced thousands of varieties that are no longer in commerce and are thought lost. Surviving bushes still may be growing behind old homes, at abandoned foothill farmsteads or in other old cemeteries. But these roses won't last forever.
"There are many times when I didn't take the cutting and two years later, the rose was gone 'cleaned up' with the weeds or wiped out by development," said botanist and rose hunter Fred Boutin, who contributed many of the roses in the city cemetery's collection.
Said Oliva, "We're on a rescue mission. It's our responsibility to save this genetic material before it's lost forever."
Camellia: Flower Power
The grand dame of local garden clubs, the Camellia Society of Sacramento, is gearing up for its 89th show in March. But first, it needs a button.
Commemorative buttons have been part of Sacramento's camellia celebration for decades. This year's theme: Flower Power. The club is holding a contest for the best design with a $100 first prize. Deadline is Nov. 23.

SummaryThe accelerating decline in professionalism—often referred to as "civility"—has been the subject of increasing concern to the law profession for many years. The American Bar Association has urged adoption of, and adherence to, civility codes. The American Bar Association Guidelines for Litigation Conduct are modeled on the Standards for Professional Conduct adopted by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, a set of proven aspirational standards. The civility in the legal profession is inextricably linked to the way in which lawyers are perceived by the public—and, therefore, to the deteriorating public confidence that our system of justice enjoys.

The Evolution of the Relationship between Military Veterans and the Finance Industry from 2011-2012
Since time immemorial, military veterans, especially junior military officers, have been attending top MBA programs and then entering careers in finance- be it the less glamorous more stable careers in retail banking or the high-pressure, high-paying careers in investment banking or sales and trading. However, it was in June of 2011 that five of the top banks:
- Bank of America (BoA)
- Citi
- Credit Suisse (CS)
- Deutsche Bank (DB)
- Goldman Sachs (GS)
came together and organized themselves as an organization called "Veterans on Wall Street" (VOWS), which is dedicated to "honoring former military personnel and employees currently in the National Guard and Reserve by facilitating career and business opportunities in the financial services industry." This effort was mainly focused on hiring veterans for the retail banking business for BoA, Citi, and back-office and middle-office functions for GS, CS, and DB. Note that no front-office job was being offered as a top-tier MBA was still a requirement to break into those fields. Conspicuously absent was JP Morgan, which has recently become the King of Wall Street, and Morgan Stanley.
Five months later in November of 2011, JP Morgan Chase (JPMC) led an effort called the "100,000 Jobs Mission" to hire 100,000 veterans by 2020. Founding members of the 100,000 Jobs Mission appear to be mostly non-financial services related:
- Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.
- Cisco Systems Inc.
- Cushman & Wakefield Inc.
- EMC Corporation
- Iron Mountain Incorporated
- JPMorgan Chase & Co.
- Modis
- NCR Corporation
- Universal Health Services
- Verizon Communications Inc.
It is unclear to me why JPMC did not just lump itself together in the VOWS campaign, however, I suspect that it had something related to do with the recently settled military mortgage scandal. Before we go into some of the motives of the campaigns to hire veterans, I want to highlight all the positive things that are happening.
In 2012, GS had its inaugural "Goldman Sachs Veterans Internship Program" which started this April. This is the first internship of its kind as its timeline is not connected to the traditional summer internship. It appears to be the first internship at a financial services company focused on training and eventually hiring veterans. Also, military veterans are now considered part of their "diversity" hiring which traditionally included women, minorities (minus Asians), and LGBT.
Also in 2012, CS initiated its inaugural "Credit Suisse MBA Military Boot Camp," geared towards prior-military MBA candidates entering a full-time MBA program in Fall 2012.
JP Morgan, not to be confused with JPMC, has had a MBA Early Advantage program in place which has been open to " is open to Black, Hispanic, Native American, female, LGBT" and recently, if not this year, "military and veteran students."
Citi and BoA are the only two banks that I know of that offer pre-MBA fellowships, i.e. they guarantee accepted fellows a summer internship as well as payment for tuition or a stipend, before MBA students even start their first MBA class. Both have recently, if not this year, included veterans in their respective programs: Citi Pre-MBA Fellowship, Bank of America Merrill Lynch 2012 MBA Diversity Fellowship Program.
The obvious trend is including veterans in "diversity" recruiting and I have no major qualms about that. Although secretly, I must admit that most veterans would find it slightly distasteful as if veterans couldn't get the job otherwise. After all, combat experience is earned, and all the other diversity categories one is born into. But hey, I'll get off my pedestal - this obviously benefits veterans so I'm all for it.
I also want to touch briefly into why these banks are starting these veteran hiring initiatives, is it out of the kindness out of their hearts or is it more for PR reasons? Probably a touch of both, with a heavier weight on the latter.
Beyond the earlier link of JPMC's recent settlement, JPMC was also involved in violating the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). The SCRA provides numerous protections, but the JPMC incident focused on the 6% clause, "Servicemembers may be able to reduce the interest rate on their pre-service credit cards, car loans, mortgages, installment contracts, interest charged by the IRS, secured debts under a confirmed bankruptcy plan, and other debts or obligations to 6% per year under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), 50 U.S.C. App. Section 527. However, federally insured guaranteed student loans are not eligible for this rate reduction under the Higher Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C.S. Section 1078(d). The SCRA specifically includes debt owed by the Servicemember individually or jointly with a spouse. Debt jointly owed by a Servicemember and individuals other than a spouse has also been eligible for the interest rate reduction. It does not matter which one of you initially incurred the debt." Read more here. This is probably a good segway into student loans and how they seem to be impenetrable to anything…but we'll deal with that in a later post.
In March 2011, units of Bank of America and Morgan Stanley have agreed to pay more than $22 million to settle charges that they improperly foreclosed on active-duty members of the U.S. military. The list goes on. Wells Fargo - here. Citi - here.
Obviously bad things have been done, I think you get the point by now. However, to balance out this picture, I do believe that in general, the mortgage departments were just incompetent and understaffed, so it wasn't veterans who were specifically targeted but rather a lot of mortgages were just handled in an erroneous manner.
So from a historical point of view, one could definitely argue that the mortgage scandals could have been one of the motivators of the banks starting veteran hiring initiatives.
From a employment point of view, this is fantastic. It appears that the retail banking units are targeting enlisted soldiers and the more glamorous positions are still mainly being offered to officers who graduate from a top MBA. Where is Morgan Stanley???????
