Obama lifts ban on Guantanamo transfers to Yemen
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is lifting his self-imposed ban on transferring Guantanamo Bay detainees to Yemen in his renewed effort to close the prison.
Obama suspend transfers there in January 2010 after a would-be bomber attempted to blow up a U.S.-bound flight on instructions from al-Qaida operatives in Yemen.
The change in policy comes since a new president has taken over and improved security in the Arab nation. But al-Qaida is still active in Yemen, and there have been instances of former detainees returning to jihad there.
Lifting the ban is a step toward Obama's goal of closing the Navy-run prison in Cuba, since nearly 100 of the 166 detainees are from Yemen.
Obama announced he was lifting the ban in a speech Thursday at National Defense University.

I personally have spent a minimal amount of time at the Career Center at MiraCosta, but when I did check out what they had been offering there, I felt it was a bit of a struggle to receive information that suited me. Last time I visited the Career Center, I was interested in applying for an on-campus job, but I received vague instructions, and found out through students or anyone who was not in the Career Center about the requirements necessary for applying for a job on campus. It was a bit confusing, but I eventually found out what was necessary to apply.

A Huntington man who manages a youth baseball team was arrested Friday on charges of harassing another coach he'd gotten into a dispute with.
Suffolk County police said Robert Sanfilippo, 45, of 20 Timber Ridge Dr., stalked a rival coach's family and sent threatening text messages to the competing coach.
Police gave this account: Sanfilippo, who manages the team Vengeance, a youth baseball squad of 10 and 11 year old boys, got into an altercation with another coach at a tournament in May. He later bought an untraceable phone and in August, sent several text messages with pictures, threatening to harm the victim, his son, and his wife.
Fourth Precinct Crime Section officers determined the phone belonged to Sanfilippo. He was arrested Friday during a game at Baseball Heaven, at 350 County Road 101, in Yaphank, at 5:15 p.m.
Sanfilippo is charged with 20 counts of aggravated harassment and one count of stalking. He is scheduled to be arraigned Saturday at First District Court in Central Islip.

There has been a lot of trade talk here, attempts to improve the Magic's immediate hopes by way of an acquisition. But I think the hard truth is that this simply will not happen. We do not have the trade assets necessary, period.
That said, should Otis Smith not focus his attention entirely on the summer of 2012?
Magic fans need to keep in mind that the first round match-up against Atlanta was arguably the least favorable for Orlando in the entire conference. Including Miami. But this doesn't mean the Magic are a bad team, or even out of the conversation to win the Eastern Conference again next season.
Hedo Turkoglu should play better. Same for Gilbert Arenas, Chris Duhon and Quentin Richardson. Even moderate improvements from the latter three would help the Magic a lot.
JJ Redick likely will not tear his abdomen again.
Depending on the summer he has, Daniel Orton may be able to carry some weight in the post in short minutes behind Dwight Howard.
The point is, a shocking first round dismissal from the Playoffs does not make the Magic an immediate lottery team. There is still plenty of talent (even if most is isolated in Howard) and Stan Van Gundy is going to maximize it, as he has from day 1.
With all of this in mind, Otis Smith and the rest of the Magic front office need to acknowledge that they are more than one or two pieces away from winning an NBA Championship. And these pieces are not going to come by way of a trade.
The Magic, to me, seem to be in that dreaded position Dallas was in for the latter half of the last decade. Perpetual runners up.
Should Smith pull a Pat Riley and try to clear room enough to sign a franchise point guard in the offseason, at the expense of the Magic's immediate success?
If he can somehow move Jameer Nelson and Hedo Turkoglu for little or nothing in return, other than the 19 million dollars coming off the payroll, should he do it?
Of course, there's still Gilbert Arenas and his morbidly obese contract.
Let us bow our heads and pray for an Amnesty Clause.
Would Howard be willing to stay on the promise of a massive rebuilding next summer, in the face of a contained implosion in the meantime?
And as much as I hate to say it, a contained implosion now would likely give us a head start in the event that Howard departs.
If the Magic are not realistic Championship contenders now, and are unlikely to become contenders by making any available trades, I'm not sure I see a smarter alternative than trimming the fat now and praying Howard can be sold on a brighter future with a better Orlando Magic team.

The Weekend before the Oscars (on February 17,18, & 19 2012),
Save Venice Inc. hosted
La Dolce Vita Weekend
in Beverly Hills, a gala weekend of Balls and cultural events in private homes, for the benefit the art and architecture of Venice, Italy.
A Gala Evening at Dawnridge:
The opening Ball transported guests to 1951, post-war Los Angeles: the land of Billy Haines, Elsie de Wolfe, and Vincente Minnelli. Hosted by
Hutton and Ruth Wilkinson
, Count and Countess of Alastaya, this Ball featured the debut of La Contessa, the Wilkinson's stunning new residence on the legendary
Tony Duquette Estate
. A 21st century re-interpretation of a Venetian palazzo, the home (recently published in
Bazaar, Italian Architectural Digest
) features extraordinary murals and a collection of decorative arts from the 17th-21st centuries. Guests wore "Dior New-Look" inspired vintage couture and black tie, right out of a Cecil Beaton photograph, while dining and dancing to the strains of "Beyond the Sea" and Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable" under the supervision of band-leader Johnny Holiday. A dozen singers and dancers serenaded guests in the supper-club atmosphere.

The Fellini Ball:
The following night
, studio heads
Warner Bros. Sony Pictures, Lionsgate, NBC Universal,
as well as guests who had flown in from around the world, all gathered in the flamingo pink splendor of the Beverly Hills Hotel for
The Fellini Ball
. This time they all channeled their creativity to evoke the glamour of 1961 — recreating an era when the Kennedys held the White House, Sean Connery battled Dr. No, and Anita Ekberg emerged from the Fontana Di Trevi. Guests sparkled in 1960s-inspired vintage couture (it looked like a few had been successful bidders at the recent Elizabeth Taylor auction at Christies in New York). Gentlemen donned their slimmest, 007 "shaken, not stirred" black tie.
Isis Moussa and Jeffrey Schlesinger
Juan Prieto, Douglas Truesdale, Matthew White, and Michael Carter
Yana Ayrapetyan, Chris Moss, and Michelle Host
70 performers, many volunteering their talent, brought this era to life in a show conceived & directed by Gala Chairman
Manfred Flynn Kuhnert
and produced by
Tara Kuhnert Cote.
Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy greeted guests before "Austin
Powers" led a parade of "20 Mod Girls" into the ballroom as a 35 piece orchestra played Henry Mancini, and everyone swooned to the strains of "Moon River Cha Cha Cha"! Bond Girls soon appeared, not to mention "Shirley Bassey", "Johnny Mathis", "Marilyn Monroe", "Maria Callas" and even "Elvis Presley."
Under the musical direction of
Tony Galla,
these extraordinary singers took us back to the sizzle of the Sunset Strip.

Early last month, the Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson's
and the
Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF)
hosted its fifth annual
Celebrate Spring
event at LAVO located at 39 East 58th Street in New York City. Over 350 supporters of Young New Yorkers and the Parkinson's Disease Foundation attended which raised $100,000.

Celebrate Spring was first conceived five years ago by
G. Pennington Egbert III
, his sister
Missy Egbert Sheehan
and their close friend
Georgina B. Schaeffer
. The three, whose fathers both lived with Parkinson's disease, joined together to create the Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson's committee, a group of nearly 100 New Yorkers dedicated to advancing a cure for Parkinson's. Each year the committee hosts Celebrate Spring, which has raised $400,000 since its inception.
Robin A. Elliott, Missy Egbert Sheehan, Georgina Schaeffer, and G. Pennington Egbert III
The event began at 8 PM with cocktails and dancing with music provided by
DJ Brenda Black

William Black
, the founder of Chock full o'Nuts, a successful New York coffee and restaurant business, PDF was the first national not-for-profit organization to focus on Parkinson's disease.

One of Palm Desert's premier events, Fashion Week El Paseo, says they need more money from the City to keep growing.
Organizers proposed an increasing sponsorship deal that would have the city donate up to $125,000 three years from now.
After the loss of over $20 million in redevelopment money, the City has cut back on spending. The council voted last week to give $75,000 a year to Fashion Week for the next three years, with the possibility of more funds later.
The event drew 11,000 to Palm Desert earlier this year, bringing an estimated $3 million to the economy.

BBC takes gaming TV shot
A brand new TV show dedicated to coverage of gaming has been announced by BBC Scotland, revealing that the show - videoGaiden - will begin being aired from Friday November 4th at 11PM. Currently, the show will only be broadcast on BBC2 Scotland, but of course satellite and cable viewers will be able to pick up the channel too. The producers of the show were apparently behind Consolevania, which went down rather well before being canned, and this new six-part series is described as the BBC's first return to games TV since the Acorn days.
News, reviews, interviews and comedy sketches will comprise the bulk of videoGaiden, apparently, and the show is aimed at gamers over fifteen, promising a laid-back, humorous style that also takes gaming seriously. Parallels with the BBC's Top Gear car show are being made. "Even if you hate the whole gaming world, you'll still find it funny and engaging," the producers claim, thought at ten-minutes per episode it would have to be pretty dire to become actually boring wouldn't it?
The show is, we're told, already generating a wee smidgen of excitement online and could interest other divisions of the Beeb if it proves a success. We'll keep you posted.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a wireless network setup solution that lets you automatically configure your wireless network, add new devices, and enable wireless security. Wireless routers, access points, USB adapters, printers, and all other wireless devices that have WPS capabilities can all be easily set up to communicate with each other, usually with just a push of the button.
Typically, there are a few steps to setting up a wireless network. With WPS, the number of steps required to set up a network can be reduced by about half. You push a button on the router or enter a PIN number to network the devices. One of the advantages of WPS is that you don't have to know the network name or security keys to join a wireless network; these are created for you and authentication uses a strong authentication protocol, EAP, that's used in WPA2.
A disadvantage of using WPS is that if some of your devices aren't WPS-compatible, it can be harder to join a network set up with WPS because the wireless network name and security key are randomly generated. WPS also doesn't support ad hoc wireless networking.
As with the phrase "Wi-Fi", Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance, an international association of companies involved with wireless LAN technologies and products. You can view a demonstration of Wi-Fi Protected Setup at the Wi-Fi Alliance's website.

Mammoth - buying online for all my SAE's. Ebay for 90% when it's a REALLY good deal. About the only FTF stuff I can find around me is Craigslist and I found that to a real P.I.T.A. (they say they want to sell but then have no desire to meet with you or the want spot and then some) so I've been avoiding it.

PMG - I am a big fan of Peace & Morgan silver dollars. Yes their premium is high for the amount of silver they contain, but they are very desirable among both collectors as well as many stackers.
In a SHTF scenario, I believe that a silver dollar will purchase far more than say, four pre-1965 quarters will buy.
How are you buying your silver, have you bought from any private sellers in a face-to-face cash deal? hat is where I get my best 'bang for the buck.'

In my opinion Silver dollars sell for way too much over spot, at least around here.
In the general market place, Morgans are collected by more people. yet they out number Peace dollars by approx, 3/1

3: .300 Blackout/Whisper a new kid on the block essentially a 7.62x35 round. The interesting bit is that it uses a necked up 5.56 casing and a much larger bullet. The Whisper is a subsonic load for use in a weapon with a silencer. The Blackout is faster than it's Whisper brother and is very close in terms of ballistics to the Russian 7.62x39 AK round. A quick note that the Whisper is also useful for situations where over penetration is a worry. If you plan on confronting a bad guy in your home and he might end up between you a wall and a loved one behind it the whisper will more than likely stop in his body or the wall.
The 300 is nifty in that it uses standard AR magazines and with a upper change any AR can fire the round. I own a PWS in the 300 format, love it. It's a way to keep that AR your use to but get a round in it that is a substantial upgrade over the standard AR 5.56 though there's an argument lately about accuracy past 300 yards. I'll cover range issues separately but...

@undeRGRönd thanks. I am pretty open minded about most information I come across and try to tie it all together to help with trying to understand the world I live in. I am exceptionally strong minded and can read and see info without involving emotion. I consider myself logical and only take in facts. I reserve the right to change my opinion as new information comes in but currently I have the following image of how the world works in my mind.
I believe their are no coincidences in the world and everything has a reason. I try to look for clues left behind by the Powers that be and dont pretend to be anything but a person presenting ideas and theories and not a Nostradamus or Edgar Casey type figure. Personally I don't believe they had any real powers or clairvoyance, but instead connections. Connections to the Occult underground. I personally currently believe Nostradamus had ties to...

Sounds as though we have at least one 'closet-carpenter' here. Well, you are going to sh!t when you hear this: Here where I work, we have an 80+ year old wood building that is going to be demolished next month. The structure is built out of Pacific NW old-growth timbers, with fine, tight grain and few knots. Wonderful wood to salvage!
But - due to lead paint and concerns about liability - management has decided that all of these fine timbers are to be cut up and sent to a hazardous waste landfill, at a cost of over $100K! All over the country they are salvaging wood from old buildings, but here the state & federal laws are so strict, they decided to throw away this irreplaceable lumber. What a waste.
We have 7" x 14" beams that are 70' long, as well as many other stout, shorter timbers. If I can figure out any possible way to 'pirate' some of this fine old wood without losing my job, I will do so.

Coin Roll Hunting finds
July 23, 2014 03:57 am
Maybe some are asking why they are getting rid of pennies. Well, I know one reason, it's because nobody uses them that much. Because of inflation, they are such a small denomination that they're just not useful. Canada has produced no cents since last year, and now it has officially ceased circulating them as well. A similar move has been debated in the U.S. for more than 20 years, but a choice still stays in limbo. You may need a short term loan to pay for your things if prices increase.

Break from the post here, I own 2 AR's they are both from PWS and use the AK gas system rather than the direct impingement system of the standard AR. I'm trying to suggest weapon systems that don't break the bank but PWS IMHO make the finest AR's in the world.
I have one in 300 blackout and another in 7.62x51, the 7.62 is really the best AR I've ever owned. 7.62 AR's are known pains in the butt with various issues but not the PWS it's been on 5 continents with me and with the ACOG on it it does what it's suppose to.
If money isn't an issue I'd suggest PWS every time, or if you want to make sure that the gun you get to protect your life works every time PWS is good to go. The 300 blackout and it's silencer loving brother the 300 whisper are very interesting rounds. The PWS 300 I use is an SBR with a silencer, very quiet and easy shooting.

Good write-up, IMO the numerology is useful, at least the way you are trying to interpret it. We know they use it, and when folks like Christine LeG. telegraph it, we should listen.

It does not really change anything I am doing, other than gives me probable target dates to beware!

With contract talks between the Bears and Matt Forté's representation at a standstill since August, using the franchise tag on Forté in 2012 appeared to be the Bears' most likely course of action throughout the season. That outcome is as likely as ever in the wake of the MCL sprain Forté suffered in his right knee early in the Bears' loss to the Chiefs in Week 13. There has been speculation that Forté might not be motivated to get back on the field as quickly as possible due to his unhappiness with the long-term offer the Bears made him, but indications are he's working hard and is taking every step he can to join his teammates as they try to keep pace in the wild-card race. Forté has been durable — he has started 60 consecutive games for the Bears since entering the league in 2008 — and has played through injuries before. His current ailment is expected to keep him out for at least two weeks.

Libya: the son also rises?
Since the end of international sanctions against Libya, leader Muammar Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam has symbolized hope in the West that a secretive, authoritarian oil and gas exporter can reform itself from within.
The sharp-suited, western-educated Islam has called for a new constitution, a freer press and an independent judiciary, music to the ears of the U.S. and of European governments all desperate to give a moral basis to their re-engagement with the oil-rich north African state.
Islam took the end of diplomatic isolation as the cue to press for a cautious public debate among ordinary Libyans about their future.
Two newspapers and a TV station linked to Islam have been holding government officials to account for their failings.
A new constitution that would bolster press freedom and an independent judiciary is ready for approval by Libya's General People's Congress, a newspaper editor and close ally of Islam told Reuters this month.
Optimism among advocates of liberal reform has turned to disquiet however, as attention shifts to Islam's brother Mutassim, Libya's head of national security who is viewed by some observers as a rival for power.
Mutassim is reported to have built a strong support base in Libya's conservative
Revolutionary Committees and he held talks with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Washington in April.
Analysts are divided over whether the showdown between the Gaddafi scions is genuine or merely window dressing to keep Western governments believing in the chances of peaceful reform.
Islam's globe trotting helped secure the end of sanctions and Libya's return from
diplomatic isolation, but his liberal message has also grabbed the spotlight from exiled Libyan dissidents, whose voice is now seldom heard in the debate about Libya's future.
"A scene has been set that portrays Saif al-Islam as the rebel successor to his father. But this scene is of course managed and controlled by the regime itself," said Amel Boubekeur of the Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut.

The year 2004 is the 300th anniversary of what less sensitive times commonly referred to as the "Deerfield Massacre". This was a raid during Queen Anne's War in which over 50 colonists were killed, and about 150 captured and taken on a forced march to Canada.
This story in the Sunday Globe (which carefully avoids using the judgemental term in the paragraph above) tells how the local historical society has covered some stone tablets from the 19th century which contain text deemed too coarse for our highly sensitive 21st century ears. References to "savages" and "Negro servants" are two examples. The offensive text is now safely behind hanging flaps of cloth which have been designed to match the stone tablets, but contain revised descriptions that use current terms for Native American tribes and are more nuanced. Only those museum visitors who risk their sensitive souls and lift the cloth will be exposed to the offensive 19th century language on the stone tablets underneath. The example given in the article is of an original text describing a young woman captured by the tribe formerly known as Mohawks:
'Mary, adopted by an Indian, was named Walahowey. She married a savage, and became one.'And the revised text:
'She married a Kanien'kehaka and adopted the culture, customs and language of her new community in Kahnawake.'The latter reading is not offensive to Native Americans. But what about feminist sensibilities? Are we to believe that such girls and young women of 1704 were not victims of trafficking, but instead simply flexible enough to adopt the culture customs and language of those who had kidnapped...er, adopted them? I hope no feminists read this article too carefully, lest the museum be forced to hang yet another flap to avoid yet another flap, and stay out in front of the culture, language, and customs of the Pioneer Valley in the 21st century.

Receptor Epha2 Activation with Ephrina1 Suppresses Growth of Malignant Mesothelioma
Source: ScienceDirect.com
A recent study has uncovered a possible new way to suppress the growth of malignant mesothelioma cells. The study attempted to uncover the mechanisms of activation of receptor EphA2 by its ligand ephrinA1 in the development of malignant mesothelioma. Activation of receptor EphA2 by its ligand ephrinA1 was shown to trigger both the phosphorylation of EphA2 and the phosphorylation of ERK1/2, which significantly decreased MMC proliferation. These studies suggest that EphA2 activation by its ligand ephrinA1 transmits intracellular signals from cell membrane to nucleus via ERK1/2 signaling cascade and inhibits MM growth.

NEW YORK — New Yorker drama critic John Lahr set off a social media firestorm in December with a blog comment that called for a moratorium on those "infernal all-black productions of Tennessee Williams plays unless we can have their equal in folly: all-white productions of August Wilson."
The theater community, as viewed from my portal on Facebook, found the comparison not just inept but inflammatory. Emily Mann, who happens to be directing the multiracial Broadway production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" starring Blair Underwood and Nicole Ari Parker that opens later this month at the Broadhurst Theatre, however, refused to take the bait when we spoke during a rehearsal break in March. Her response to the question of the legitimacy of such a multicultural endeavor is short and sweet: "Tennessee always wanted this to happen."

Some people in the market for a new used car might prefer to pay for their vehicle with cash. Thus, they avoid a credit inquiry and a long-term monthly payment. But in the real world, this is becoming less and less common. Buying a used car typically involves applying for a used car loan. But while you may not jump at the idea of taking on a new monthly debt, there are ways to keep your used auto loan affordable.
Used car loan dealerships vary. Some cater to people with no credit history and bad credit, and offer in-house financing. In this case, anyone with a down payment and acceptable employment can qualify for a used automobile. Of course, bad credit used auto loans don't always feature the best terms, and it's not uncommon for borrowers to pay higher interest rates.
If you need a car and can't qualify with a large dealership, this is your best bet. Many dealerships that offer in-house financing do report to the credit bureaus, thus having a bad credit used auto loan can help improve your credit – providing you pay your car loan on time each month.
If you have good credit, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain used car financing from a large dealership or another bank. Some people prefer larger dealerships because of their reputation and their larger selection of automobiles.
If you're in the market for a used car loan, pay close attention to your credit score. In fact, your credit essentially determines your options for financing. A person with a credit score of 620 or lower may not qualify for most financing programs. However, if you maintain a score in the 700 or higher range, the options are numerous.
In most cases, the dealership will not require a down payment or cosigner if you have a high credit score. You can literally sign and drive in the same day. So how do you qualify for this type of used car financing?
Maintaining a strong credit history is the key. Before test driving a used car and applying for a used auto loan, check your own credit report. This takes less than 10 minutes and you can order your report online. Annualcreditreport.com is authorized to give every consumer one free credit report annually. Order your personal history and then check each line of the document for errors or problems. Dispute errors and take steps to raise your credit score. Pay your bills on time and pay down debts.
In addition to taking steps to ensure a loan approval, you should work to obtain the best interest rate possible on your used auto loan. Your interest rate impacts your monthly payment, and borrowers who receive a higher rate pay more each month. An excellent credit score is a top way to obtain a prime interest rate and keep your vehicle loan affordable. But you can also obtain desirable used car loan rates by shopping around.
While dealerships have a finance team in place to secure your financing, consider other alternatives. For example, you can apply for a used auto loan with your personal bank or credit union, and perhaps obtain a rate that's lower than the rate offered by the dealership. Banks have different standards for determining interest rates. And whereas one bank may offer a certain rate, another bank may offer a rate much lower. Don't rush the process and contact at least three different finance companies before choosing a company to handle your used car financing.

Last Sunday I visited the New Land Trust for the first time. A friend and I met Steve Jenks, the longtime trail builder, on Plumadore Road in Saranac and set off for a few hours of exploring interspersed with storytelling, trail work and photography.
At the clubhouse we learned about the ambitious project started by a group of four friends from Plattsburgh State in the 1970s. Wanting to live off the land, they bought 287 acres and started working it.
A few decades later their legacy is a big piece of property with miles of trails that are perfect for day hikers, birders, dog walkers and cross-country skiers. Thanks to many volunteers and supporters, this property is entirely open to the public.
Last Sunday, Steve led us on a tour featuring a lean-to, outhouses, bridges, benches and trail signs. The trails wind through old orchards and a variety of forest types, but it was the stone walls that captivated me.
Some trails travel beside a wall; others cross through openings that were made when the walls were built or when recent trails were designed. It was impossible to pass the walls without imagining the hours of backbreaking work by people, oxen or horses. Maybe all three. The walls stretch for hundreds of yards and seem to have been built for field boundaries and livestock enclosures, all of which are now beneath another generation of forest canopy.
Stone walls are not found all over the United States; they are special to New England and upstate New York. Rocks in our walls come from the geologic history that left stony glacial till on the surface of the land. European settlers between 1750 and 1850 likely built stone walls, after the American Revolution but before industrialization changed agriculture and supplied wire fencing. Forests were cut and the stumps that were uprooted to make way for plows exposed many rocks on the surface. Frost heaves would have gouged out more each year.

Watch Dylan Mayer unfurl his potent combination of speed and power in play after play for the Menlo School football team, and you can't help but admire the motor the two-way starter has.
But ask Mayer about his motor, and he's liable to start talking about circuits and current. No, the Menlo senior isn't referring to the wiring that makes him a standout athlete who may play baseball and football in college. He's discussing another one of his passions – building motors.
A gifted student in science and math, Mayer delights in tackling complex engineering projects. As the rare junior to enroll in Menlo's applied science research class last year, he built a Mendocino motor – a solar-powered levitating motor that spins because its circuits create magnetic fields when in sunlight.
When Menlo students presented their work at the Maker Faire last May alongside top-notch engineers from around the country, Mayer's motor was a hit.
"His booth was crowded," said James Dann, who teaches the applied science research class. "There were always people around – from engineers to kids going, 'How does it spin? How does it work?'"
This fall, Mayer is delving deeper with an independent study. He's using two of his Mendocino motors to build a solar-powered car the size of a large shoebox.
"I just really like building stuff," Mayer said. "Once I find one thing I'm interested in … then I find a more complicated way I could build that."
Dann, who called Mayer "a genius engineer," said that what sets his pupil apart is his determination to find solutions, even when none seemingly exists after countless efforts.
"He has an amazing perseverance, and that's what's going to make him a great engineer," Dann said. "He never gives up."
Mike Thibodeaux, a mathematics teacher, said Mayer's penchant for creative problem-solving also helps the senior excel in AP Calculus BC, Menlo's top mathematics course.
Yes, it seems that Mayer stands out in just about everything he does – all while being quite humble.
In volunteering for the past two years at , a nonprofit educational organization, Mayer showed uncommon grace in mentoring a diverse group of students, including disabled veterans.
"His humility and humaneness, he's just remarkable, just remarkable," related founder and CEO Gary Riekes, who said Mayer was a role model while giving guitar lessons, leading exercise classes and teaching people how to lead tours. "He has an amazing heart."
And then, of course, there's Mayer's athletic prowess.
In football, the 6-foot-1, 215-pound senior is an imposing presence and a playmaker wherever he lines up. On defense, he started the year at middle linebacker but is now a fleet and hard-hitting strong safety. On offense, he sees time at running back and all four of the Knights' receiver positions.
Heading into Friday's regular-season finale against rival Sacred Heart Prep – which 6-3 Menlo needs to win to bolster its Central Coast Section playoff hopes – Mayer has totaled 12 touchdowns, including a 92-yard run and a 69-yard reception.
In baseball, he's a middle-of-the-order slugger who has already been a part of two Central Coast Section Division III championship squads. After hitting .449 in both his sophomore and junior seasons as an outfielder, Mayer said he might also try to pitch some this year.
As for his collegiate plans, Mayer said he's eying a West Coast school but that he hasn't narrowed his choices much. Stanford, Cal, UCLA, Pomona and Claremont McKenna were among nearly a dozen schools he mentioned. "I'm still talking to people, still visiting campuses," he related.
Mayer said he's "almost positively" going to play baseball at the next level, and that football may be a possibility if he goes to a Division III school.
In addition to his engineering interests, Mayer said he's likely to take a close look at business during college. He intends to do an internship at Burr Pilger Mayer, an accounting firm his father, Stephen, founded and chairs.
But for now, Mayer is all too happy to make the most of his high school days.
There's the solar-powered car and all of its trouble-shooting. There's trying to extend his prep football career a few more games. And there's his dance class – wait! Dance?!
Yes, Dylan Mayer even does dancing.
"I'm taking advanced dance, which has actually helped me a lot with my flexibility," he said with a laugh.
Add it all up, and it's easy to see why Mark Newton, Menlo's head football coach and a history teacher, called Mayer "an incredible citizen on campus."
"It's really hard to find somebody with that whole package," added Newton, who earlier termed Mayer "off-the-charts bright."
"He's everybody's All-American. He's really the real deal."

When Superman faces off with Batman in the sequel to Man of Steel, they may have some company: the roles of Wonder Woman and the Flash are reportedly being cast, too.
Suggestions for Better Batmen Than Ben Affleck
The magazine reports that Gal Gadot (Fast and Furious), Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) are in the running for a female lead role described as "tall, brunette, athletic and exotic," according to Variety. These descriptors fit Wonder Woman (though Variety sources say it could also describe a Bruce Wayne love-interest role). MTV reports that Jaimie Alexander (Thor: The Dark World) has hinted at having met with Warner Bros. about playing Wonder Woman, too.
Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman in the still-untitled sequel, and Ben Affleck will play Batman – news that sent the Internet into an anguished tizzy of hand-wringing when it emerged this summer. The superhero rumor mill suggests that the movie will also feature other members of the Justice League, Wonder Woman and the Flash among them.
Zack Snyder will direct the Man of Steel sequel, which is currently scheduled to hit theaters on July 17th, 2015.

EL DORADO — Union Mine High boys soccer coach Christina Savage was very pleased with goalie Nick Boring's performance against Liberty Ranch in a Sierra Valley Conference contest at the Diamondbacks' field Thursday night.
The senior had 11 saves as the D'backs and Hawks played to a 1-all draw until the 76th minute when Liberty Ranch scored for the 2-1 win over Union Mine (0-2-1, 1-3-1).
Most of Boring's saves were in various ways: challenges, corralling corner kicks and dive-saves near the net.
"Nick is an awesome goal keeper," Savage said. "He never gives up. He has a positive attitude."
In the first half, Union Mine had plenty of open shots — one that flew past the Liberty Ranch goalie when D'back forward Raine Scott scored on a breakaway in the 10th minute to tie the game at 1-all.
"We created a lot of chances," Savage said. "We controlled the midfield."
Scott joined forward Bryce Yaple, defender Jeremy Dupras and midfielder Levi Sattler-Petrocchi in taking shots at the Hawks' net in the game.

I am so very sorry for theI am so very sorry for the painful loss of your friend and her daughter... and the lasting impact that act has had for your son. Our older kids did catch a bit on the news, but we have since been limiting. We did discuss it briefly as a family as we prayed for the victims, their families, and more. Our younger ones asked questions -- some tough ones to process. We answered as best we could honestly while trying not to overwhelm. I think this will be an ongoing process. Being a parent is difficult. We want to be able to give our children promises that nothing bad will ever happen to them... and more so we want to make it be true.
My oldest is 6, and in theMy oldest is 6, and in the first grade. I keep looking at the pictures of these beautiful faces, that remind me of my son, and my heart just breaks. We have chosen to not expose our kids to what happened. We have kept the tv off, and dont discuss what is going on in front of them. Our kids are 6, 3, 2, and 6 weeks old. They really arent old enough to process it. In 2009 a friend of ours, and her daughter, were murdered. Our oldest still has a fear of a man with a gun hurting us. We dont want to make that fear worse, and have him not want to go to school or worry more than he already does.bbq

As a way of appreciation my mom (now known as "Nana") has for years invited Mr. & Mrs. Claus to drop in for Christmas dinner with all our family. Most of the time, he goes home and changes first into more casual attire. (We actually get to see them off and on throughout the year as well and consider them very dear friends.) The kids love that they know the REAL Santa. :) They especially love being able to hop on his lap to say "Thank you" for whatever they received! Santa has a great memory!
"Santa" can be anyone, in my"Santa" can be anyone, in my opinion, not just the guy in the jolly red suit -- who plays "Santa" in your house or does he really pay a visit?

By Mike Pound
While there have been a few changes to the annual Joplin Kiwanis Club apple sale, the overall goal remains the same as it was when the first sale took place in 1966.
"We're not selling the apples to make money," said Steve Doerr. "We're selling them to give kids opportunities they otherwise wouldn't have."
Steve is heading up this year's sale. When I asked Steve what a guy has to do to make it to the top apple-selling spot, he said, "You have to be lucky enough to volunteer and then get stuck with the job."
I thought that was funny.
The annual apple sale grew out of a desire by several Joplin men to help the Tri-County Cerebral Palsy Center not just thrive, but grow. At the time, the center was operating out of a small home located behind the old Freeman Hospital, and it was clear to just about everyone that there was a great need to expand the services the center provided. That's when the Kiwanis Club stepped in.
In 1966, Bob Higgins, Victor Cerwert, Earl McElfresh and John Stuart drove to Springfield to talk to Kiwanis Club members in that city about their apple sale. The four brought what they learned back to Joplin, and with that the Joplin tradition was born.
In 1966, the first Kiwanis apple sale in Joplin raised $1,600. Now, the amount of money raised tends to fall between $15,000 and $40,000. In 1966, the Cerebral Palsy Center was the lone recipient of the proceeds. Today, the Joplin Kiwanis Club donates the money raised by the sale to a diverse group of programs geared for kids of all ages.
Steve said money still goes to the CP Center, and proceeds also are given to the Boys & Girls Club, Special Olympics, the Salvation Army Christmas party and the Joplin High School Key Club. The club also helps with Christmas parties at Joplin elementary schools and funds scholarships at Missouri Southern State University.
The neat thing about the way the Kiwanis Club divides the proceeds from the apple sale is that the money goes to a wide range of kids. Steve said it is such a wide range that many of today's Kiwanis Club members likely benefited from the apple sale, in some fashion or another, when they were kids. It's sort of a neat full circle kind of deal.
Steve said Kiwanis members are now taking orders for apples. Once the club gets an idea of how many apples will be needed, the orders will be placed with a company in Washington state. In the past, the club has ordered red delicious and golden delicious apples; this year, the decision was made to order red and, for the first time, gala apples.
"Every year we look at ways we can improve our product and make our customers happy, and so this year we decided to add the gala apples," Steve said.
A bushel of apples will cost $50. For those of you who are not fluent in bushel talk, there are 100 apples in a bushel. A half-bushel is $30, and a peck (a quarter of a bushel) is $25.
Steve said folks also may combine their apple purchase with gift baskets from Richardson Candy House. Gift baskets range from $25 to $40.
Once the apples are ordered, Steve said, they will arrive in Joplin in early December and will be delivered to customers on Dec. 5, 6 and 7.
If you haven't yet been approached by a Kiwanis Club member and would like to order apples, you may call 417-529-3730.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — It may be among the unlikeliest of battles — a grocery chain family taking its internal feud to the public and the public jumping in with both feet.
But the family fight playing out now is one that could concern area consumers, including those in Gloucester and across Cape Ann That's because the outcome of the Demoulas family battle, which pits cousin against cousin, could have an effect on consumer spending throughout the 71-store Market Basket chain, and that's especially the case where the Demoulas corporation salso holds the financial cards for the Gloucester Crossing shopping center as a whole.
The chain's board of directors is expected to vote today on whether to replace CEO Arthur T. Demoulas with his cousin, Arthur S. Demoulas.
Ordinarily, family in-fighting is no concern of ordinary citizens. But Market Basket customers are a loyal bunch, and both they and company workers are very concerned about a potential change of direction.
While there's been bad blood within the family for decades, the chain has continued to grow, notably through the company's partnership with Sam Park and the opening of Gloucester's Market Basket in the fall of 2009.
With that growth has come other new, larger stores and a swelling consumer base loyal to the brand. And loyal, longtime employees wonder what needs changing.
An online petition to "Save Market Basket" had nearly 40,000 signatures Tuesday afternoon. Store workers and others stationed themselves outside the grocery stores across the North Shore and into New Hampshire this week to collect more signatures to present to the directors in advance of their vote.
Managers and employees took out full-page ads yesterday in the Times and its sister papers supporting Arthur T. Demoulas and pleading with the Board of Directors: "Do not jeopardize our future."
On the eve of a 2011 Londonderry, N.H., store opening, Market Basket operations manager David McLean summed up the chain's philosophy.
"We are committed to the lowest prices," he said. "Shopping here is uncomplicated. There are no gimmicks, no frequent shopper cards or buy one, get one free."
The Demoulas family has a business to run, a very big business. Tens of thousands of customers and workers anxiously await the decision expected today.
But let's hope the directors weigh the number of petition signatures, look at how that business grew and consider why consumers and employees are so loyal to the brand before they cast a vote to make such a potentially drastic change.

NYS Assemblyman Brian Curran presented awards to eight local ladies from Lynbrook, Malverne, East Rockaway, Rockville Centre, Oceanside, Baldwin and South Hempstead this past Saturday.
"Each of these ladies has earned the recognition as a Woman of Distinction, Curran said. "Their hard work, commitment, and determination have made [these communities better places] … to live and raise a family."
One very special lady honored was Audrey Morrow, of Malverne. Morrow recently celebrated her 90th birthday and for the past 60 years that she has made Malverne her home she's worked tirelessly volunteering her time to organizations like the American Red Cross at Mercy Medical Center Cancer Unit, The Rosary Altar Society and the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary, to name a few. She's also served as recording secretary for Friends of the Malverne Library since 1965 and has been a board member for more than 40 years.
Another outstanding accomplishment is her immeasurable work with Books for Veterans. Monies collected from the program are given to the Northport Veterans Hospital, where reading materials and magazine subscriptions are purchased for our servicemen and women.
Julie Bergin, of Lynbrook, was also among the eight award winners. Bergin made outstanding strides in her community, dedicating her time as an education advocate. As a mom, she understands the importance of having a good relationship with her children's teachers and applies this knowledge to her work in enhancing communication between the home and school. Thus, Bergin was selected to represent New York at Parenting Magazine's Mom Congress on Education and Learning Conference in Washington, D.C. in late April.
As an active member in her local PTA, she also assists with fundraising, creating websites and Facebook accounts for SEPTA and many local schools. She also volunteers her time to helping organizations such as Swim Across America, raising more than $20,000 last year for cancer research. Begin has selflessly devoted much of her time and is truly a leader in her community.
Lynbrook resident Patricia Hickey also earned an award for her contributions to the community. Brought into Girl Scouting by her mother Doris, Hicey has shared her love of scouting with each of her children and others'. She acts as the religious leader for her son's troop, and since 1996 as a Girl Scout Leader for her daughter's troop, where she re-creates some of her most enjoyable memories as a child, while opening up the girls to new and wonderful experiences. Her commitment to the Girl Scouting movement is vital and is a tribute of keeping strong traditions and support for community alive and well.
Hickey has also dedicated herself to organizations such as the Religious Education Program at St. Raymond's, the Lynbrook PTA program, and Parents and Friends of Music at Lynbrook High School.
As part of Saturday's presentation, eight troops from Girl Scouts of E.L.L.M., (East Rockaway, Lynbrook, Lakeview, and Malverne) joined Hickey on stage to sing her a very special E.L.L.M song, a tradition she started.
Other award winners were Cathy Dapolito (Oceanside), Gail Schwarting (South Hempstead), Joan Flatley (Baldwin), Theresa Gaffney (East Rockaway) and Marilyn Nunes Devlin (Rockville Centre).
"I am extremely proud of these eight ladies … and I am truly grateful that they reside in the community of the 14th Assembly District that I represent," Curran added.

THENI: Thousands of devotees witnessed the Chitra Pournami festival, celebrated with religious fervour, at the Mangaladevi Kannagi temple on the Western Ghats, along the Tamil Nadu-Kerala border, near here on Wednesday.
The Theni and Idukki district administration and the Forest Departments of both the States made elaborate arrangements.
Officials of the Kerala Forest Department seized all plastic materials from pilgrims at the entry point. All vehicles were scanned.
The devotees climbed the hill through a trekking path, laid in 1934, from Paliyankudisai to reach the temple.
Besides pilgrims, 250 Tamil `pandit' women trainees of N.M. Venkatasamy Nattar Thiruvarul College, Thanjavur, came to the temple to learn more about Kannagi.
Collector Har Sahay Meena, who monitored arrangements, said officials had been deployed on the jeep route and on the trekking path.
Theni Superintendent of Police, R. Sudhakar said security had been tightened at all points. A team of doctors and paramedical professionals, led by S. Balasubramaniam, Deputy Director of Health Services, set up three medical camps. "We kept even oxygen cylinders and medicines ready. An ambulance was deployed at the forest checkpoint," Mr. Balasubramaniam said.
Priests from Kerala and Tamil Nadu performed special pujas to the main deity housed in a highly dilapidated granite structure.

CSG Systems International
49 Employee Reviews (View Most Recent)
1 person found this helpful
"Great Company to work for until recent years"
Pros – The CSG culture has historically been one that promoted entrepreneurially behavior in its employees. It was an environment where employees could ask questions, challenge new inititatives and feel as though their voice was heard. The company's growth through acquisition strategy has provided great opportunities for the midwestern organization to learn about integration of corporate cultures.
Cons – CSG has attempted to broaden its product/service lines to decrease the pressure of having the majority of its revenue tied to a handful of clients. Unfortunately, the in-house 'blame game' is alive and well at CSG, from sales, to development, to product management. Executive management is busy 'counting beans' rather than leading and holding those responsible, accountable.
Within the past 5 years there has been a significant shift in the culture that is a double standard. Management asks/requires employees to share their ideas and expand their skills (stretch goals) but do not provide the necessary support to help them achieve the goals and then wonders why employees are disenchanted and not motivated.
Advice to Senior Management – Spend some time to personally understanding what mid-level managers and employees think of the most recent initiatives.
"Very professional organisation"
I have been working at CSG Systems International
Pros: Professional, supportive, friendly. Senior mgmt emphasis on strategy and how… Cons: Can be slow to react Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend More

"Not my cup of tea."
I worked at CSG Systems International
Pros: Decent local job in the IT field. Benefits. Cons: Leadership is out of touch with CSG employees working directly with the client. No real opportunities for advancement. Morale continues… Advice to Senior Management: Watch 'Undercover Boss' to see what you've been neglecting. … No, I would not recommend this company to a friend More

In 2003, Harvard Business School professor Michael Beer wrote about why pay for performance doesn't work after studying it in action at Hewlett-Packard. "The idea seems perfect. Managers want their employees to pull out all stops for Project X, for example. Employees, confident of their ability to reach if not surpass the goals, start banking on the extra money."
This incentive-style of compensation has its pros and cons, certainly, and has been implemented in healthcare, education, the auto industry and professional sports. It continues to be used because employers of all kinds want to attract and motivate workers to accomplish specific objectives, while maintaining a level of expense scalability.
In a paper co-authored with Mark D. Cannon of Vanderbilt University, Promise and Peril in Implementing Pay-for-Performance: A Report on Thirteen Natural Experiments, scholars weigh in the potential downsides. "Other scholars have argued that the real problem is that incentives work too well. Specifically, they motivate people to focus excessively on doing what they need to do to gain rewards, sometimes at the expense of doing other things that would help the organization."
While tempting to pay for a specific accomplishment, in reality pay-for-performance becomes incredibly complex to institute for several reasons. First, for many roles, like teachers, the desired outcome is too subjective. Second, in scant jobs is there a singular objective, and pay-for-performance, as pointed out by Beers, can cost the loss of other, non-incented objectives. Third, it can be counter-intuitive to the organization's culture. Take two different shoe-related companies. At Zappos, customer service is the cornerstone. A p-4-p measure, driven by satisfaction scores, may be highly successful, whereas at Tom's Shoes, where philanthropy is king, incentivizing just on top sales may send the wrong message to employees.
Ultimately, employers must consider a wide spectrum of motivational and pay tools to drive success, including non-monetary measures. In a webcast later this week, leaders from Pfizer, Abbott Labs and ADP discuss different options, including incenting for retention.
