Economies of Traffic Density in the Deregulated Airline Industry
This article estimates a structural model of competition among hub-and-spoke airlines in order to measure the strength of economies of traffic density on individual route segments. We find that economies of density were strong during the sample period (fourth quarter 1985), stronger than previous estimates by Douglas Caves, Laurits Christensen, and Michael Tretheway derived from traditional cost-function methods. We also find that the airlines' competitive behavior was far from collusive in the markets under study (markets requiring a connection at a hub airport). Our structural model also provides plausible estimates of demand elasticities. We use our estimates to provide a cost-based rationale for the major changes in the structure of the industry following deregulation (for example, the increase in airport and industry-wide concentration, and the increase in competition at the city-pair market level) and to simulate the effects of a merger of airlines that share a hub.

Google Announces New Digital Coupon Service; Zavers
Think there's enough digital coupon services out there? Google didn't think there were enough, and they think they can do better. They announced Zavers, their new "digital coupon solution". Google is claiming that it takes on all discounts and deals which allows companies to measure their customers habits and coupon usage stats to better target those campaigns they will be running.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
Now what does this mean for shoppers? Well you'll be able to find the coupons relevant to you on specific retailer websites and add them to an online account. Once you go to checkout with your full basket, these discounts will be automatically accounted for. Retailers can see first hand how Zavers will work by visiting their demonstration booth at the annual NRF Convention & Expo, which takes place January 14-15. They'll be at booth #2281. If you're a US-based retailer or packaged goods manufacturer, you can find out how to get started at their website.
Google also has Zavers integrated with Google Wallet. But that is as long as you pay for items in-store. So far we have no clue how this is going to work out yet. But we also have to wait for them to get Zavers up and running properly. Hopefully that won't be to long of a wait.
Zavers sounds like a great idea, and having it integrated with Google Wallet will make it so much simpler than the other digital coupon services around. The only thing is getting Zavers to take off. We're hoping it will, so everyone can take advantage of this service. It sounds pretty great, and we'll just have to wait for Google to get it setup everywhere so we can see how well or not so well it'll work.
What do you think about Zavers? Is it something you'd use? Post your thoughts in the comments below, we're always interested to see what our readers have to say.

They left America for the jungles of Guyana to start a better life. Yet what started as a Utopian dream soon devolved into a terrifying work camp run by a madman, ending in the mass murder-suicide of 914 members in November 1978.
In A Thousand Lives, the New York Times best-selling memoirist Julia Scheeres traces the fates of five individuals who followed Jim Jones to South America as they struggled to first build their paradise, and then survive it. Each went for different reasons - some were drawn to Jones for his progressive attitudes towards racial equality, others were dazzled by his claims to be a faith healer. But once in Guyana, Jones' drug addiction, mental decay, and sexual depredations quickly eroded the idealistic community.
For this groundbreaking book, Scheeres examined more than 50,000 pages of newly released documents that the FBI collected from the camp after the massacre - including diaries, crop reports, and letters that were never sent home - as well as hundreds of audiotapes of Jones addressing his group.
Scheeres's own experience at a religious boot camp in the Dominican Republic, detailed in her unforgettable debut memoir Jesus Land, gives her unique insight into this chilling tale.
Haunting and vividly written, A Thousand Lives is a story of blind loyalty and daring escapes, of corrupted ideals and senseless, searing loss.
©2011 Julia Scheeres (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"Chilling and heart-wrenching, this is a brilliant testament to Jones's victims, so many of whom were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time." (Publisher's Weekly)
"Scheeres shows great compassion and journalistic skill in reconstructing Jonestown's last months and the lives of many Temple members (including a few survivors).... [A] well-written, disturbing tale of faith and evil." (Kirkus)
"Julia Scheeres' A Thousand Lives... tells the tragic tale of Jonestown - in its way, a peculiarly American apocalypse." (Los Angeles Times)
"The Tragedy is that Jim Jones Lives on in Infamy"
The author has thoroughly documented the horrible story of Jonestown in a manner that enables us to see what happened, and how it happened. She gives us enough information that we can understand how people were suckered into this cult by what appeared to be a progressive, spiritual leader, and then how they were kept in the cult by a combination of false promises, lies and misinformation, and mental and physical coercion. We learn that many within the cult realized that things were not right, but Jones was so successful in establishing control that these people were unable to escape from the seemingly open settlement.
At times, the book became tedious simply because the story is so depressing. As one who believes in the importance of faith in God and the necessity for community expressions of faith, I was troubled by the thought that persons initially acting out of a similar faith found themselves trapped in a situation where it may not have been possible to think independently. Recognizing that many religious leaders do not encourage independent thought, this serves as a reminder of the abuse of faith.
But, of all the individual tragedies presented in this book, it is the realization that Jim Jones partially accomplished the goal of infamy. Oh, that we could just delete his name from human history (along with Hitler and a few other tyrants), but unfortunately it is necessary for us to listen to this story, and to mention those names again and again, in order to learn the lessons that we need to recognize.
"3.5 Rounded Up"
I thought this was a Four Star Book until I listened to the Jim Jones tape right after this. Now THERE was the story I thought I'd be getting from "A Thousand Lives." "A Thousand Lives" is a brilliant chronicle of Jim Jones, the Peoples Temple, and a few of its congregants, but by no means does it go into that last fateful day. The last hours are touched upon, and it's heartbreaking when you realize who makes it, and who doesn't, but, really, it's not gone into deeply. I don't know if Ms. Scheeres thought it might be morbid? Perhaps she thought it might be, what? Too soon? Too disrespectful to the families?
After listening to the Jim Jones tape, which is available on Audible, but could probably be found anywhere on the internet, I don't think it would be disrespectful. I simply think it's the real human drama, real people making horrifying choices, saying their good-byes, and yes, screaming and crying, all while a doped-up madman chastises them.
I was twelve years old when this happened. Couldn't understand how something like this could happen. "A Thousand Lives" does make me understand WHY and HOW it could happen, but the tape makes me care.
Maybe not entirely credit worthy, but certainly worth a Daily Deal, or a sale. Besides, Robin Miles as Jim Jones at the end there is downright creepy!
"Are you kidding?! A shocking must read!! A++"
Upon finishing this book, I couldn't understand why I didn't already know more about this shocking tragedy. I realize that the suicides occurred before I was born (Im 33) , but so did the Charles Manson murders- and I grew up knowing all about that story and its victims. Anyway...
Knowing just a little about this story, I was transfixed with this book. It is so well written and well read! Kudos to the author for the ability to be empathetic, but also straightforward and cutting when necessary. The reader definitely gets to make up his own mind about various individuals involved, i.e. the members who were forced to leave family including their children behind when escaping.
The thing that was most surprising to me is that Jonestown was a movement for socialism, and not actually a religious cult. Jones started as a religious minister, but dropped all pretense of religion after a while. He forbade bibles and told the group that he was god. His message was not religious or spiritual, but economical. They killed themselves for socialism! ?????
I was shocked and disgusted after listening to a book about Scientology recently. Compared to Jonestown, Scientology barely registers on the radar! I have so much trouble understanding individuals who fall prey to men like Jim Jones or L Ron Hubbard. Both men had similar personality types, marked by the ability to charm and move people, and also by a growing and bizarre paranoia and isolation. Though I must add that Jones was just a really bad man, through and through. Why do people get caught up in cults? There was an obvious point where Jones had gone nuts, and yet these people followed him still. For years, the members lived in squalor and starved. Many lived in fear, and rightly so.
The final chapter of the saga, the circumstances before the mass suicide, was the most shocking. I knew about the suicides and forced suicides, but not about the slaughter of nonmembers.
I haven't read a more interesting book in a long time. I will definitely read more by Julia Scheeres. Also the narrator Robin Miles was excellent.
"A New Insight"
I've often wondered how people get themselves sucked into a cult situation and trapped there. After all, it would make sense to simply walk out! Or so I thought. Now I have a better understanding, thanks to Scheeres' well written and documented book.
These followers were people of faith, hope, trust and goodness. Their frame of mind didn't include deceit, betrayal, and evil. Jones, however, was a superb and well-practiced con-man with a host of evil attritubes. They simply weren't able to understand or withstand his malevolence.
Psychopaths prey on people's weaknesses, and use these to their own advantage, but most focus specifically on one or two life areas. Jones, however, pulled no punches. He attacked relentlessly on all fronts: religion, relationships, race, home and security, finances, etc. He used every possible soft spot to annihilate his victims' independence, personal power, and ultimately even their lives.
This is true evil.
An interesting and insightful read, well narrated.
"A Slow Creeping Horror Story That's All Too Real"
Don't join cults.
The incredible amount of detail that the author puts into her telling of the Jonestown story. She did a good job of sorting through the hype and the sensationalism and painting a deeper, more horrifying story of slow and relentless brainwashing, isolation and madness.
Favorite is the wrong word. But the description of the cult's final decision to take the Kool Aid was gripping and unforgettable.
Highly recommended, both as a historical document and as a social examination of the allure and hypnotic pull of cult life.
"Interesting listen"
I very much enjoyed this book. I dont normally listen to stories other than thriller/suspense (the more vampires the better) books, but I decided to broaden my horizons since I was feeling a bit bored.
This book was a very interesting listen, I knew the story of 'drink the kool-aid' but never understood or knew the story before the mass suicide.
If you are looking for a riveting story that keeps you interested by changing the perspective narrator (you hear stories from the perspective of many different survivors and journal entries of different members), this is a good one.
"Worth your time, twice!"
I thought this was a wonderful composition! The detail that is revealed in the book is unbelievable and makes you question why it was not made public knowledge from day one. How sad to know the amount of opportunity our government had to put a stop to this. I highly recommend. I purchased this becuase I know someone who was present to stop it on the day of the massacre. Wow, the people you meet and what they bring to your life.
"A Warning for All of Us"
The author related the experiences of a variety of people.. and each one could be you or someone you know. Its chilling to realize how they each took steps further into this nightmare.
The author says that this is not the story of anyone joining a
Hyacinth Thrash was an elderly survivor of this tragedy. She had joined the People's Temple over 20 years before, and witnessed the slow metamorphosis from church to cult of personality.
Each of these members reached a point when they were asked to do something that went against their instincts, morals, common sense. Stepping over that line led them irretrievably under the control of Jim Jones.
Whether you remember this event, or only heard of it recently, a must read, and a lesson for us all!
"Terrifying, but fascinating"
Well documented, well written. Brings together, in a comprehensive way, all the details of this well-known story and gives an insight into how one person's mental illness can lead hundreds of others to their death.
"perfecy book, perfect listen."
overall, a wonderful listen. skillfully researched and written. i admire the author's ability to capture this world and its bizarre characters with clarity and compassion.

Abortion Healing
TestimonialI had two abortions; one when I was 17 and the other when I was 22. I lived with the pain and depression caused by those mistakes for over 27 years. I spent most of that time trying to deny that I did not have any lasting problems from those "procedures."
During this time I suffered from major depression and suicidal thoughts. I felt that I wasn't worthy to be anyone's friend or even to be alive.
It wasn't until I heard someone from Project Rachel tell her story. My husband and I were in our car coming home and I began crying along with the lady on the radio and I knew right then that I needed to grieve and mourn the death of my two children.
I contacted Project Rachel and went to a retreat to heal. It was the most extraordinary experience I have ever experienced and I know feel forgiven by both God and myself.

Published: Wednesday 1st July 2015 by The News Editor
Greece is teetering on the brink of financial meltdown after becoming the first developed nation to default on an IMF loan.
The international crisis escalated as the deadline for repaying 1.6 billion euro of debt passed. But desperate efforts are still under way to strike a deal that could stave off economic disaster.
The eurogroup of ministers are due to hold a conference call at 10.30am BST to discuss yet another proposal from the Athens government. But there are doubts over whether progress can be made after German chancellor Angela Merkel refused to consider releasing emergency funds from the eurozone stability mechanism before the Greeks hold a referendum on Sunday.
Markets across the world are braced for more turmoil as a Greek exit from the euro – and potentially the EU – becomes ever more likely. The FTSE shed nearly 100 points yesterday on top of losses from Monday, taking it close to the 6,500 mark.
Ministers have been making contingency plans to minimise any contagion from a Greek banking collapse, although the direct exposure of British institutions is thought to be minimal.
The left-wing Syriza government, elected on an anti-austerity platform, has been in talks for months with its Troika of creditors – the IMF, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission. Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras has urged the country to vote against demands for spending cuts and tax rises in the national poll on Sunday. However, EU leaders have warned that a rejection would effectively mean Greece leaving the eurozone.

Towards Effective Prevention: Practical steps for the next Government
16 Jul 2014
A new report from The Early Action Task Force, led by Community Links, sets out ways in which a future government could free itself from the stranglehold of short-term planning and save taxpayers' money as a result. The report Towards Effective Prevention: Practical steps for the next Government, argues that looming cash crises in health, local government and other public services due to rising demand could be avoided if government invested now in early action rather than cutting back on measures that will save money and promote growth over the long-term.
The report has been produced by the Early Action Task Force - a consortium of leaders from charitable bodies, the public sector and business and identifis that early action saves money, and promotes both prosperity and well-being but suffers from chronic underinvestment. A 2013 Public Accounts Committee report said that shifting away from reactive spending and short-term action could potentially bring better outcomes, cut public spending and give better value for money but the National Audit Office found that only 6% of relevant government spending was being spent in this way.
The report proposes a new investment strategy, including a ten-year government planning perspective, combined with firm five-year budgets in every spending review. It also advocates:
- a new budget for early action spending to protect vital social investment from short term "current account" pressures;
- a £250m Early Action Loan Fund to promote better working across different budgets and agencies to be funded by a new tax on "social polluters" including alcohol, gambling and pay-day lenders;
- an independent Office for Future Generations to report on the Government's progress in investing in reducing costs downstream.
Commenting, David Robinson, Community Links co-founder and chair of the Early Action Task Force, says:
"The political agenda is too often set by short-term considerations and the focus is on current concerns rather than the future. Prevention and early action are just not happening at the moment and it is costing us dearly. Our proposals have the potential to save us all billions a year as well as helping people live healthier, happier lives, including in their later years. An effective investment strategy for early action should be a vital element of a 'two term' strategy for an incoming government to bring social and economic aims together in a positive programme for the future."
The report was launched at the House of Commons. Margaret Hodge MP, Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, comments:
"Government currently spends £400 billion each year on health, education, welfare and criminal justice but far too little of this goes on early intervention and prevention. Longer term planning, defining and protecting early action spending and new incentives to break down silo working are all needed to save money and improve lives in the future, as the Public Accounts Committee itself concluded last year. This new report sets out valuable ideas for how to put this into practice and should be essential reading for anyone planning for the next Government."
Caroline Slocock, report author and Director of think tank Civil Exchange, also says:
"Investing in the long term rather than salami slicing existing budgets is the only sustainable solution to the crisis facing public spending, particularly in local areas. Without addressing the underlying barriers to early action within the public spending system, warm words will not manifest in the changes we desperately need."

Sue Semrau has more wins to her credit than any other coach in the history of Florida State women's basketball. In fact, despite having been in Tallahassee for little more than a decade, she's just a few good seasons away from having more wins than all the other coaches in program history. At some point, that kind of tenure starts paying back success with interest.
When former Florida State players plying their trade in Spain relayed scouting reports back to the Panhandle about a young local phenom, Semrau was more than willing to reap the fringe benefits of an ever-expanding network of successful ex-Seminoles.
And while the basketball world must bide its time until January before getting a look at Seminoles freshman Leonor Rodriguez, the Spanish import should be worth the wait.
In a season littered with freshman talent, don't discount the international representative.
While it didn't generate quite the shock waves of Team USA's loss to Australia in the 2006 FIBA World Championship, a 90-86 loss for the United States against Spain in the Under-19 World Championship this past summer raised its share of eyebrows. Sharing the court opposite such names as Skylar Diggins, Nnemkadi Ogwumike, Samantha Prahalis, Kelsey Bone and others, Rodriguez led all players in the game with 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting. The United States subsequently earned a 16-point win in the championship game rematch in Thailand, but Rodriguez still scored 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting.
Semrau followed those results with somewhat divided loyalties, but it wasn't until Rodriguez arrived in the United States that she got her first in-person look at the 5-foot-10 guard. Beyond the shooting and ballhandling evident in the U-19 numbers, the coach recently said what impressed her most was the maturity with which Rodriguez carries herself. She's young, even by freshman norms, having turned 18 less than a month ago. But despite the hurdles of adjusting to college life in a second language and living in the United States for the first time, she's fitting in.
The same stroke of good fortune that first alerted the Seminoles to Rodriguez is the reason the freshman won't be able to take the court in a regular-season game until Jan. 3 against Temple. Growing up in the Canary Islands, closer to Morocco and Western Sahara in North Africa than mainland Spain, there weren't a bevy of high-level basketball opportunities from which to choose for a girl in Rodriguez's sneakers. She played as an amateur for a local club team, alongside players who were compensated. As a result, by NCAA ruling, she has to sit out the team's first 14 regular-season games.
The eligibility ruling did not apply to exhibition games, and like a movie trailer for a holiday blockbuster, Rodriguez teased Florida State fans during the team's unofficial opener. In 23 minutes against Valdosta State, she totaled eight points, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block. And given her recent arrival -- not to mention small frustrations like adjusting to the traveling interpretation in the American game -- the extra time to adjust could work in her favor.
The Seminoles are in good hands in the interim. Despite losing departed seniors Tanae Davis-Cain and Mara Freshour (and their 23.7 points per game last season), there are backcourt options with point guard Courtney Ward, Angel Gray, Christian Hunnicutt and wing Alysha Harvin, in addition to redshirt freshman Alexa DeLuzio, herself a player worth watching in her return from an ACL tear.
But when January rolls around, don't bet against Rodriguez making her presence felt in ACC country the way she already has from the Canary Islands to Thailand.
Five more players to watch
Erica Beverly, Hartford: Watching a lot of post players operate brings to mind the old urban legend about leading a horse up stairs, only to find it can't go back down them. The ball disappears down low, and you sit back and hope it ends up going through the net because it sure isn't going anywhere else useful. But watching skilled post players in action -- players like Jayne Appel and Courtney Paris before her -- is a reminder that the low block can be a two-way street. So it is with Hartford's Erica Beverly, one of the best mid-major posts.
Beverly's bread and butter seems to be what you expect from a post player. A knee injury cost her most of the 2007-08 season, and she averaged 11.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last season as part of a terrific post partnership with Diana Delva. Her work on the boards was good for fourth in America East. But the traditional double-double stats are only the beginning of the story. Beverly also was the only player in the conference to rank in the top 15 in assists, steals and blocked shots.
Alexis Gray-Lawson, California: As loaded as Stanford is this season, the best guard in the Bay Area resides in Berkeley. In fact, if you want to talk territory, Alexis Gray-Lawson could make a reasonable case for herself as the best guard west of the Mississippi River. And for a Cal team in a state of flux after losing Ashley Walker and Devanei Hampton to graduation and a number of players to transfer and adding a highly touted freshman class, that's a nice cornerstone to have anchoring the drive to remain Stanford's primary concern in the Pac-10.
Whereas "combo guard" is a label often applied to someone who doesn't own quite the right skills to play either backcourt position expertly, it's a fitting compliment for Gray-Lawson. She's been a plus 3-point shooter since she arrived, never shooting worse than 38 percent from behind the arc. She can get to the basket and score -- and has improved at the free-throw line every season. But she's also capable of distributing the ball, the past few seasons to post players who depended on it and now to freshmen whose growing pains should be eased by it.
Ify Ibekwe, Arizona: It's not clear whether rebuilding Arizona is quite ready to figure out the Pac-10 under second-year coach Niya Butts. What is increasingly clear is the league isn't going to figure out how to keep Wildcats forward Ify Ibekwe off the glass. The brightest spot in Arizona's 12-19 campaign last season, Ibekwe averaged 15.7 points and 11.6 rebounds (she also accounted for 56 percent of her team's blocks and 25 percent of its steals).
And the 6-foot-2 junior forward isn't just beating up on smaller foes. In her first five career games against Stanford, Ibekwe averaged 13.2 points and 10.2 rebounds. For some frame of reference on that, Stanford allowed an opposing player to reach double-digit rebounds eight times last season; Ibekwe was responsible for two of them. Among the players who faced the Cardinal and didn't manage it: Chante Black, Devanei Hampton, Paris Johnson, Jantel Lavender, Kia Vaughn and Ashley Walker.
Melissa Jones, Baylor: At the top of the recruiting charts each year are the players who can do everything, those who make you marvel at the things they do. Fast forward a few seasons, and the most valuable players are often those who will do everything. Watching those individuals perform -- players like Baylor's Melissa Jones -- the prevailing emotion is less awe than guilt. If someone listed at 5-foot-10 -- or roughly the Baylor name across the front of teammate Brittney Griner's jersey -- can own one of the more significant all-court presences in the Big 12, what excuse do the rest of us have for our daily sloth?
Despite playing primarily off the bench after some early starts, Jones led the Bears in steals last season, ranked second in 3-pointers (first in 3-point accuracy) and third in rebounds, and was the only player other than point guard Kelli Griffin to finish with a positive assist-turnover ratio. There are science fiction novels with fewer dimensions. And when the team needed it most after Danielle Wilson's season-ending injury, Jones stepped up to average 9.8 points and 8.0 rebounds en route to a Big 12 tournament title, and 15.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in three NCAA tournament games.
Gabriela Marginean, Drexel: No player on any team carried a bigger offensive burden last season than Gabriela Marginean. The 6-foot-1 forward ranked third nationally with an average of 23.3 points per game, and her output represented 38 percent of Drexel's points last season. In one memorable effort against Bucknell, she scored 33 points in a 44-35 win. By comparison, Middle Tennessee State's Alysha Clark (27.5 ppg) and James Madison's Dawn Evans (23.8 ppg) accounted for 36 percent and 31 percent of their teams' totals, respectively.
A Romanian, Marginean is the secretary general of Drexel's United Nations roster (she's one of five Europeans, all representing different nations). And opponents might be well advised to try some diplomacy on defense rather than taking up arms against her. Not only did she nearly lead the nation in free throw attempts last season, averaging more than eight trips to the line per game, but she ranked seventh nationally in free throw percentage at 89.7 percent. In three seasons, she has missed just 63 of 569 free throws.

Review for Park Place Bodywerks Auto Body and Collision Repair Center
Joe L. on 12/07/2015
Joe said he had suspicions of someone using his vehicle while at the facility and talked to the manager and he told him he was going to look into it. There was an address on his GPS and he never uses it, the odometer had been restarted and there was a valet parking ticket on the dash for a place he has never visited. The repair was a week later than promised and does not know the reason for the delay.

Estimating the Value of Brand Alliances in Professional Team Sports
Brands often form alliances to enhance their brand equities. In this paper, we examine the alliances between professional athletes (athlete brands) and sports teams (team brands) in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Athletes and teams match to maximize the total added value created by the brand alliance. To understand this total value, we estimate a structural two-sided matching model using a maximum score method. Using data on the free-agency contracts signed in the NBA during the four-year period from 1994 to 1997, we find that both older players and players with higher performance are more likely to match with teams with more wins. However, controlling for performance, we find that brand alliances between high brand equity players (defined as receiving enough votes to be an all-star starter) and medium brand equity teams (defined by stadium and broadcast revenues) generate the highest value. This suggests that top brands are not necessarily best off matching with other top brands. We also provide suggestive evidence that the maximum salary policy implemented in 1998 influenced matches based on brand equity spillovers more than matches based on performance complementarities.

Securing Vehicular Communications - Assumptions, Requirements, and Principles
Among civilian communication systems, vehicular networks emerge as one of the most convincing and yet most challenging instantiations of the mobile ad hoc networking technology. Towards the deployment of vehicular communication systems, security and privacy are critical factors and significant challenges to be met. Thanks to the substantial research efforts carried out by the community so far, we make the following contributions in this paper: we outline security requirements for vehicular communication systems, we provide models for the system and the communication, as well as models for the adversaries, and propose a set of design principles for future security and privacy solutions for vehicular communication systems.

East Northport students lobby for beloved teacher
Former students and colleagues of a popular East Northport Middle School English teacher who died Friday have waged an online campaign to get a character in an upcoming novel named after her.
Over a thousand people had "liked" Leslie Spanko's name on author Tim Green's Facebook page since Friday evening, assuring a character in a future book is named after her, the author said.
Spanko, 62, a seventh-grade English teacher, was found dead in her home earlier on Friday, after she didn't show up for work and fellow teachers became concerned. She had gone home sick on Thursday. Her son, Alex Spanko, 23, said she died of a stroke.
Searching for a way to remember her, teachers at the middle school submitted her name to Green, a former NFL linebacker and defensive end turned writer, who spoke at the school two weeks ago. He had mentioned that he was holding a contest on his Facebook page to name a character -- a lawyer for a fictional Major League Baseball player -- based on how many people "liked" different names submitted to his page.
"Hearing that my son's favorite teacher from middle school passed away was so devastating for everyone here," wrote Barri Feuer of East Northport on Facebook. "Having this positive thing to focus on has been nothing short of miraculous."
In an interview, Feuer credited Spanko with instilling her now 15-year-old son Ethan with a love of reading.
Alex Spanko said it was a fitting tribute to his mom, who raised him by herself. He recalled how they would go to Shea Stadium on weekends, including many Mother's Days.
"She loved teaching sports books," he said. If the character she was being named after wasn't a teacher, it was appropriate it would be a lawyer, he said. "She loved to argue her case," he said.
Green, in an interview Sunday, said no name he has put up for votes has ever gotten the response this one had.
"This one was so poignant. I saw Leslie two weeks ago," he said. The librarian, who invited him to the school, insisted he meet with Spanko.
He could've closed out the voting yesterday -- and Spanko was assured to win, ahead by 900 votes and counting. But he wanted to extend it for another day, so the middle school students could participate today.
Other teachers said Leslie Spanko's death has devastated the school community.
"She had this kind of sarcastic wit about her," said Sandy Leahy, 42. "She told it like it was. Kids adored her, and she was just an incredible educator."

Father of two Brian Gemmell, 53, from East Kilbride was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2014 after...
"The earlier we find cancer, the easier it is to treat"
If you are worried about any potential symptoms, or have noticed an unusual change in your body, the best thing to do is to visit your GP. It's probably nothing to worry about but if it is cancer, the earlier it's found, the better. When cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, treatment is often easier and more likely to be effective. For example, 9 out of 10 people survive bowel cancer when it's diagnosed early. Today, more Scots are detecting cancer early, in fact 24.3% of all breast, lung and bowel cancers in 2012 and 2013 were detected at stage one (the earliest stage). This is an increase of 4.7 per cent since 2010 and 2011.
In general, outcomes are much better these days. In fact, twice as many people survive cancer today compared to 30 years ago.* So, if you're worried about any potential symptoms, your doctor wants to see you.
*Source: ISD, Trends in Cancer Survival in Scotland 1971-1995; 1983-2007.
"Very often when someone is worried about cancer, it's something they put to the back of their mind. Either because they don't want to face it or are worried about wasting their doctor's time. However, timing is everything – the earlier a patient comes and sees me with their concerns, the quicker I can help them, which could save their life. If you notice a change in your health, any change, I want to see you. Whether you have unexpected bleeding, found a lump, altered bowel habits, weight loss, an unexplained pain or something else, make an appointment today. Sometimes those around you will notice changes to your health before you do, like a persistent cough. Don't fob them off, follow it up. You're not wasting my time, I'm here to listen and to help."
Dr Paul Baughan, GP
Below are some potential signs and symptoms of cancer that are worth visiting your GP about. Remember, having one of these doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer, it could be a sign of something else, but either way, it's better to have your concern checked.

Kenya: church questions government police operation
A diocese in western Kenya has criticised the government for a failed security operation whose aim was to restore peace in the border areas of two-districts rocked by violence since 2004. The Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (CJPC) of Kitale Diocese, which reported high tension in the area, also wants the government to reorganize its security machinery and rectify land allocation anomalies in Kwanza Division of Trans Nzoia District, at its border with West Pokot District. "The Catholic Justice and Peace Commission regards the recently concluded security operation along the Kwanza-West Pokot border as a well meaning but futile exercise resulting in an even more tense and volatile situation," the CJPC told CISA in a statement dated Tuesday, January 18, 2005. Fr Gabriel Dolan, the CJPC Director, said in the statement that on Christmas Eve 2004, the government sent several hundred security personnel into the area "in a well-publicised intervention", who removed illegal settlers from Kanyarkwat Farm and provided security for the holiday period. "However, two weeks later over 90 per cent of them were withdrawn and things started deteriorating immediately," he lamented, adding that their withdrawal "has left a huge vacuum and increased tension all along the border." In the statement Fr Dolan signed jointly with Mr Leonard Barasa, the Commission's Programme Officer, the CJPC reports many incidents of attacks on innocent members of the communities on either side of the border, "occurring in broad daylight". "Furthermore, it is clearly obvious that the politicians on either side continue to fuel the tension," the CJPC said. The Commission says "it is essential that the government relocates a GSU [the paramilitary General Service Unit] base to Kanyarkwat, and that both Kapkoi and Kolongolo police bases are elevated to the rank of police stations, with large numbers of police in both places." "We also insist that Lands Minister Amos Kimunya immediately addresses the issue of Kanyarkwat Farm; revoke the bogus allocations and redistribute the land" between the communities," the statement said.

Social Media Caffeine for Government Representatives
Of course, Donald Trump uses Twitter. His people are reading his words. They want to know what he has to say, and we're sharing. But what about the rest of the mass media networks and elected officials.
It's been said that social media is both the bane of Congress, and the boost Congress needs to involve the mass public. Back in the day, a letter from your representative was the only form of communication. But today… You're overrun with messages unless you can find a way to ignore them. Most can't.
Most feel overwhelmed by the vast amount of data threaded into our news feeds. I counted this morning, 37 news feeds channel through my updates at any given time and while I know how add to and subtract those amazing and glorious feeds, I'm finding more and more of my friends (age relevant here) don't see the need to learn this system. But the need to know impacts all of us at on point or other.

Most marketers often shy away from anything to do with politics. All that controversy and activism seems to distract lead generation campaigns from what they're simply called to do: Find potential clients.
And yet, what they may not realize is that politicking will find its way into the conversation regardless. Just because you're not talking about ISIS or 9/11 doesn't mean politics won't impact the quality of a lead or the success of your sales reps.
Perhaps the reason why office politics can be a dirty word in marketing is that it's often an undesirable element. But no matter how much you discourage it within your own company, there's going to be another company that'll make House of Cards (or worse, Game of the Thrones) look like Sesame Street.
This is a big deal? It will be if several of these companies are listed among your prospects.
It's perfectly natural to feel like you're caught between a rock and a hard place. One the one hand, you've got prospects who feel very strongly about certain political issues (e.g. taxation, economy, regulations etc). On the other, you've got prospects who might not be as transparent about their personal ambitions as you'd like to believe.
The only thing you shouldn't resort to is resignation.
No, not drastically resigning from whatever position you're in. This is resignation simply in terms of giving up control over the conversation with your prospects. Sometimes the politics can just serve as a distraction. That's why you shouldn't ever shy away, but rather stay focused in spite of it.
- Tip #1 – Focus on the problem, not just the politics: This sounds counterintuitive but you should ask what personal stake a prospect has in an issue. This will bring you closer to understanding the problem they want to solve.
- Tip #2 – Figure out what needs fixing: A prospect's problems has and always will be the only point of concern for your lead generation process. That means dealing with the politics influencing the problem sometimes. And other times, times it means rooting them out.
- Tip #3 – Understand the necessary role of politics: Like it or not, politics are a part of life. Handling them is a necessary skill among business leaders (which obviously includes your target decision makers). This necessity provides its own context can help you determine how much it should influence the conversation.
For some people, an ideal world is one without politics and everything just strictly business. But in reality, that may may never be the case. Better to accept it as the nature of the beast instead of cutting out half your prospect list because of political differences.

'We believe we can win' - Michael O'Neill on Northern Ireland's clash with Wales
The game will take place at the Parc des Princes on Saturday evening.
Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill said his side got the more favourable side of the draw - lining up against Wales instead of France on Saturday.
It looked for a long while on Wednesday night that Wales would play Turkey and Northern Ireland would tackle hosts France in the last 16.
But the Republic of Ireland's 1-0 victory over Italy - Robbie Brady scoring a late winner in Lille - changed the dynamics of the second-round line-up.
Turkey were eliminated as the Republic reached the next stage, and Group B winners Wales will now play Northern Ireland, one of the four best third-placed teams, at the Parc des Princes in Paris on Saturday.
O'Neill said he believes it will be a "fantastic game".
"We will be heading back to the Parc des Princes which as we know from Tuesday night is a brilliant stadium," he said.
"We will benefit from the familiarity of having been there already, of having done the journey and of having played on the pitch.
"The results tonight put us in what is arguably the more favourable side of the draw, so we are pleased about that.
"We are in no doubt that it is going to be a tough game against Wales but we will go into the match believing that we can win and that we can progress."
Wales manager Chris Coleman conceded Northern Ireland are "difficult to break down" defensively.
"Northern Ireland are more physical than Turkey," he said.
"They get the ball forward quicker. That's where their strength is.
"They are superbly organised and defensively so difficult to break down. They are excellent from set-plays."
England, who play Iceland in the last 16, are in the same half as France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Beating Procrastination
"I promise I will never procrastinate again for as long as I live." This is the promise I made to myself as I gulped down a fresh cup of nearly black coffee while sitting at IHOP in the middle of the night writing case briefs for my Media Law class.
Something happens to your brain when you push it to operate early into the morning. I just wanted to cry. And sleep. And cry. I was not sitting at IHOP with a friend from class because we particularly loved the food, but because everywhere else in town was closed. And IHOP had coffee and a place to plug our laptops in.
The case briefs were a cruel semester long project to remind students they should never consider going to law school and a even crueler joke on the college procrastinators. Mainly me.
August-"I have all semester? I am sure I will finish this in no time."
November- "I should really get started on those case briefs."
December-"At IHOP crying over black coffee while writing a semester's worth of case briefs the night before they are due."
Not my finest moment.
I am happy to say that I did finish the case briefs and was able to keep enough caffeine in my system to drive to school, turn them in, and drive home to go to sleep. But that night, that moment, was when I really discovered I had a problem.
I wish I could say that was the last time I procrastinated on an assignment. But I can say that the memory of black coffee at a cold IHOP in the middle of night has propelled me into working ahead more than once. I am not perfect by any means, but I have learned a few things about how to beat procrastination.
Create margin in your life. Margin, space, room. I want to create room in my life to do the things I want to do. And not always have to be consumed by my responsibilities. A few months ago, I gave myself the challenge to try not to bring work home. Instead of trying to finish everything on Friday, I spread my tasks out over the week and actually scheduled a day for them to be completed. When I am at work, I work. Hard. Because I know that my reward will be peaceful rest at home without an unfinished assignment hanging over my head.
Does this mean I never bring work home on the weekends? No, but it is getting more and more rare. As I am learning the importance of creating space in my life, I am learning that procrastination is not a dragon I have to fight, but simply a creature I have to outsmart. I have to plan my way around procrastination. As soon as I get an assignment, I make a deadline for myself and I stick to it. This may be something that comes naturally to some people, but I have actually had to work really hard to train myself to do this.
Do the hard things now. This is something I have struggled with since high school. It is really easy to complete the simple tasks right away, but the hard things, the tasks I am dreading are usually the ones that I end up procrastinating on (Media Law Case Briefs). I am slowly learning that if I start with the hard things, I will have more energy to deal with them. This is translating into other areas of my life as well, like not running from conflict, but facing it head on.
Make shorter lists. I am a list maker. I have lists on lists on lists. But there is nothing more discouraging than seeing a huge list of to-dos at the end of the day that you did not have time to complete. What I have started to do is make a short list of the things that absolutely need to be done that day. Usually no more than five things. Then, when I finish that list I feel like a champion and sometimes I even have time for another task or two. There is no greater feeling than a completed to-do list at the end of the day. And a list of 22 things may not get finished and will leave you feeling like a failure.
Take Breaks. Sometimes when I am powering through my to-do list, I feel like my brain is melting and that is when I usually want to quit and leave all my tasks for another time, which breeds procrastination. The solution is to simply take a break. Sometimes I actually set a timer on my phone for five or ten minutes and go for a walk or read an article or blog that I enjoy. The key to this is to actually go back to your task when the timer goes off. With a renewed energy and focus, the tasks you have set for the day can be accomplished.
These are just a few things I have learned over the past few years that work for me. What do you do to beat procrastination?
