Western suburbs tour
By Jessica Daniels On October 21, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
In an unusual scheduling fluke, the entire Admissions staff has been in the office for the past two days. Not for long, though. Flights will soon be carrying my colleagues to California and to the midwest (Chicago and Minnesota), and then next week to Asia.
While not as glamorous, but with the advantage that it requires no flights or jetlag, I'll be taking off in less than an hour for my tour of Boston's western suburbs. At noon, I'll be at Wellesley College, followed by a late afternoon information session at Boston College. (So crafty of me to fit them both in one day!) It's the perfect time to take a drive in that direction — the fall foliage is in full color burst — and we always receive great applications from graduates of both colleges. Plus, at Wellesley, I'm looking forward to meeting up with not one but two alums working in the careers office.
Two colleges, alumni visits, fall foliage, and home for dinner. A quick trip with lots of benefits!

Today we're hosting a PhD Visit Day. Like all of our Visit Days (and there is one for MIB applicants coming up next week), the day is light on programming, but still draws together all the activities an applicant might want before applying to Fletcher. In the case of the PhD Visit Day, this means that at 12:30, I'll be eating lunch with our visitors and offering information about the program.
Are you interested in the PhD program but not here with us today? It's still easy to put together a day of relevant activities. PhD applicants need to contact us directly to set up an interview, but you can arrange one for a day when there is an Information Session scheduled. If you have questions about the program even after the session, any member of the Admissions staff can help you.

Meet the 2014-15 Admissions Interns
By Jessica Daniels On October 11, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News, Our Students
I always like applicants to know who it is who may answer the phone when they call or their emails when they write. This year we have a small group of four dedicated student interns working in the Admissions Office. They'll introduce themselves in today's post, but this won't be the only time you'll be hearing from them on the blog. I've asked them to write about their student activities, too. But first the intros.
Rebekah: Hi everyone! I am a second-year MALD student focusing on gender and human security. I am originally from San Luis Obispo, California and attended Occidental College in Los Angeles for my undergraduate studies. Prior to Fletcher I lived in Washington, DC and worked as an administrative and research assistant for an international trade consulting company, where I focused primarily on trade and investment issues in Latin America.
I spent this past summer interning with the conflict resolution NGO Search for Common Ground (SFCG) in Luanda, Angola, where I had the opportunity to work on SFCG Angola's gender programming. This year at Fletcher, I am excited to be serving as the co-president of Fletcher's Gender Initiative and as the second-year Student Representative on Fletcher's Committee on Diversity and Inclusiveness. I also represent the Fletcher student body on the President's Sexual Misconduct Prevention Task Force. When I'm not on campus, I enjoy cooking, running, and exploring the Boston area. I look forward to hearing from you in the Admissions Office this year!
Justin: Hey! I am Justin Peña, a second-year MALD student at Fletcher. I'm from New York City, having grown up in the lower east side of Manhattan. I graduated from Wesleyan University in 2012, where I majored in Government and International Politics. My current interests revolve around U.S. Foreign Policy, with an emphasis on U.S.-China relations. I've had a long interest in Chinese politics and society, which stemmed from my study of Mandarin in high school. This had led me to study abroad in Hangzhou, China during my undergraduate years. Prior to Fletcher, I interned for a Beijing-based NGO, the China Development Brief, which reported on civil society in China. In Beijing, I also spent some time advising Chinese high school students seeking to matriculate in U.S. colleges.
While at Fletcher, I have decided to concentrate in Security Studies and Pacific Asia. Outside of the classroom, I have tried to remain engaged in a number of ways. During my first year, I worked as a research intern for the Center on Conflict, Development, and Peacebuilding, examining the Turkish-Armenian rapprochement process. I had also worked with PRAXIS, Fletcher's journal of human security. My work with the Office of Admissions began in the latter half of that academic year. Over this past summer, I interned at the State Department's Office of Chinese and Mongolian Affairs, which exposed me a bit to the world of diplomacy. This year, along with continuing my work with the Admissions office, I am one of the co-leaders of Fletcher's China Studies Society.
So that's about it for now, but I look forward to sharing more of my experiences at Fletcher as the year rolls on.
Emma: Hi! I am a second-year MALD student from Cleveland, Ohio and Portland, Oregon. Here at Fletcher, I focus on International Security Studies and International Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, with a particular interest in strategies for confronting non-state armed groups in the Middle East. I spent last summer in Beirut, Lebanon assisting a peacebuilding and conflict resolution organization and eating all the fattoush I could.
Living close to Davis Square, just a few T stops from Cambridge and Boston, means that I get to explore my new city, eat a ton of delicious and diverse food, and indulge my love of U.S. history. Outside of the classroom, I'm a senior staff editor for our foreign policy journal, The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs. I look forward to hearing from you all soon and hopefully welcoming you to the Fletcher community!
Allison: Hi everyone! I am a first-year student in the Masters of International Business (MIB) program. I started at Fletcher last January, so I am one of about 40 "Januarians" at Fletcher. For my undergraduate degree, I studied political science at Tufts. After graduating in 2009, I moved to Geneva, Switzerland to work at the World Economic Forum on its social entrepreneurship initiative. I later joined the Peace Corps as a Water and Sanitation volunteer in Peru. Upon concluding my time with the Peace Corps, I returned to the social entrepreneurship team at the World Economic Forum. When I arrived at Fletcher, I planned to focus on the role of the private sector in international development, but my interests have shifted as new professors and courses have given me the opportunity to explore new areas of study. My Fields of Study are International Finance and Banking and International Business and Economic Law. When I'm not studying, I love hanging out with other Fletcher students, going running, and cooking.
ICYMI: Application Boot Camp (and an update)
By Jessica Daniels On October 9, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
Way back in the August archives lives a week-long series that Christine and I put together to help you, dear applicant, with your application. Consult our Application Boot Camp for tips on arranging supportive recommendations, writing strong essays, test scores and transcripts, and more!
I also wanted to pause for just a minute to tell you what's happening around the Admissions Office. Our first batch of applications for 2015 is trickling in, with the deadline for January enrollment coming up next Wednesday, October 15. This will be our first opportunity to work with our new online application review system (exciting and nerve-racking in equal amounts). We're glad that the first batch of applications we'll read on the new system is small enough to allow us to iron out some wrinkles.
Our travel season is in high gear, and it's a rare day when every member of the staff is in the office. We've already covered DC, Toronto, New York, the Pacific Northwest, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Chicago, Minneapolis, San Diego, San Francisco, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, and other locations are still in front of us. Having our application readers on the road complicates the January admissions process, but we always get everything done in time for admitted students to organize themselves to arrive here in mid-January.
Our student interviewers are getting into the swing of things, and we'll soon be selecting students to serve on the Admissions Committee. We also called on our Admissions Ambassadors to join visitors for lunch on Monday, during our Visit Day.
All in all, we're enjoying hosting visitors at Fletcher, meeting prospective applicants on the road, and putting our systems together to make the admissions process run smoothly for everyone.

Visitors visiting
By Jessica Daniels On October 6, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
Today we're hosting the first of the fall's Visit Days. Prospective students will start arriving at about noon, and we'll all have lunch together. Then we'll move on to an Information Session, and a student panel. The first of the visitors have already arrived for morning interviews, and others are checking in at the office just to be sure they're in the right place.
Visit Days are energizing for the staff, and useful for applicants. Not only does the schedule allow a convenient way to stuff a lot of activities in a short period of time, but it's always helpful for applicants to hear what others are thinking. (The person obsessing over the personal statement will benefit from the questions asked by the person obsessing over the résumé, and vice versa.) It's helpful for the blog, too! If I hear any good questions that I hadn't already planned to answer, I'll make note and cover them in the coming days.
If you aren't joining us today but the Visit Day concept is appealing, consider joining us on November 17 for a general Visit Day, or on October 20 (PhD applicants) or October 27 (MIB applicants).

Toronto, and Class of 2008 friends
By Jessica Daniels On September 19, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News, Our Alumni
I had a surprisingly nice quick trip to Toronto. I arrived yesterday morning, took a long walk around, and figured out where the APSIA fair would be taking place (down the street, behind the construction site — so I was glad I bothered to look). The first visitors to the fair arrived as I was still setting up, well before the official start time, followed by three solid hours of talking. Nice to meet some eager 2015 graduates of University of Toronto, as well as professionals in the area!
I was joined at the Fletcher table by an alum, Farrukh Lalani, a 2008 graduate, and she shared her perspective with the visitors interested in the student and alumnus experience. As the fair wound down, and over tea after the fair ended, we had time to discuss her new start-up venture, Aria Gems, a non-profit that seeks to build a business, and a model that others can follow, in ethical gem mining in Afghanistan. This led to a long chat about the non-traditional paths taken by many of her 2008 classmates. Mining/gems/Afghanistan/start-ups are not concepts we usually weave together when we're telling prospective students about typical Fletcher career paths, but the atypical path is, itself, somewhat typical.
Coincidentally, yesterday I heard from Farrukh's classmate, Margherita Zuin, who was featured in a Foreign Policy career guide. In a sense, Margherita's career path has been typical for a graduate of an international affairs professional school, though perhaps still atypical in its intensity.
So all in all, a good trip — productive participation in the APSIA fair, and a great opportunity to get to know an alum I hadn't crossed paths with when she was a Fletcher student.

Quick blog hello
By Jessica Daniels On September 18, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
I didn't intend for this to be such a slow blog week, but that's how it has turned out. Between setting up the interview schedule, attending a few meetings, and I'm not even sure what else, the first half of the week flew by.
The busy pace of September always comes as a bit of a surprise. We all know it's going to suddenly turn from August mellow to zany, but the meaning of zany is easily forgotten. One aspect: by Monday, nearly every Admissions staff member will have been out on the road. (Me, I'm on my way to Toronto for an APSIA fair. If you'll be there, be sure to say hello!)
More, and richer, blog content coming next week, when I hope I'll have a firmer grip on our schedule.
Visit Days for everyone!
By Jessica Daniels On September 12, 2014 · 2 Comments · In General Admissions News
While Fletcher offers admissions Information Sessions every week, we occasionally add in a little extra programming. This year, we'll welcome applicants to all programs for a General Visit Day on Monday, October 6 and Monday, November 17. On these days, in addition to a one-hour info session, we'll arrange a student panel and a lunch. You can also schedule yourself for an interview.
For MIB applicants, we'll offer a special MIB Visit Day on Monday, October 27. The Information Session will be focused on the MIB program, and you'll have extra opportunities to interact with current MIB students. Once you sign up to attend the MIB Visit Day, we'll contact you to arrange an interview.
Same for the PhD applicants' Visit Day on Monday, October 20 — a focused Information Session and extra opportunities to meet current PhD students. Once you indicate that you'd like to schedule an evaluative interview, we'll contact you with an appointment time.
Regardless of the program you're interested in, you're always welcome to visit! But we also encourage you to take advantage of these extra activities, designed to help you prepare for your application to Fletcher.

Prepping for interviews
By Jessica Daniels On September 8, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
It seems like forever since I last wrote a post about general admissions news, but the new semester has begun and we already feel like we're deep in the new admissions cycle. Travel starts next week for several of us (spreading us from DC to Michigan to Toronto and Mexico City) and less than six weeks separates us from our first application deadline (for January admission). Today I'm meeting with about 20 students who have volunteered to conduct interviews for us. It will be terrific to have them trained and ready for the start of on-campus interviews on Monday, September 22. I'd better turn my attention right now to preparing for the training session!
Not to worry — the application's coming soon
By Jessica Daniels On July 18, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
We've been hearing that people want to start applying to Fletcher, and they're asking why we don't have an application available. The answer is that we're still developing our new application system, but we're on track to make it available in August.
Most of the change that this application will bring is going to be felt by the Admissions Staff. We'll be reading applications online for the first time! But we're confident that prospective students for 2015 are going to find the new application more friendly. Among other improvements over our old system: it will be harder to submit an application that is missing information. Yep, that's right — we're creating an application that will help you avoid errors. At the same time as we fully intend to kick off the new application in August, we also believe that it will be worth waiting for.
Meanwhile, I'll point you back about a month to a post in which I provided the essay questions. Feel free to sharpen up your #2 pencil and start writing.

Solar Cell
Spinach protein boosts efficiency of "biohybrid" solar cells
Popeye gets his strength from downing a can of spinach and what works for him also works for solar panels. Researchers at Vanderbilt University led by David Cliffel and Kane Jennings have come up with a way to dope silicon with a protein found in spinach to create a more efficient "biohybrid" solar cell that produces substantially more electrical current than previous efforts and may one day lead to cheaper, more efficient solar panels. Read More
Despite their ability to generate clean, green electricity, solar panels aren't as commonplace as the could be. The main sticking point, of course, is price. Due to their need for relatively expensive semiconductor materials, conventional solar cells don't yet have a price-efficiency combination that can compete with other sources of electricity. Now Profs. Alex Zettl and Feng Wang of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have developed seriously unconventional solar cell technology that allows virtually any semiconductor material to be used to create photovoltaic cells. Read More
A UCLA team has developed a new type of solar cell that is nearly 70 percent transparent to the naked eye. The plastic cells, which use infrared instead of visible light, are also more economical than other types of cells because they are made by an inexpensive polymer solution process and nanowire technology, potentially paving the way for cheaper solar windows. Read More
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, through its Light Technology Institute, this month will initiate new research on printable organic solar cells. The four-year project aims at increasing the efficiency of such cells to more than 10 percent. These promising, cheaper solar cells can be manufactured using existing techniques such as screen printing and continuous roll-to-roll processes. So far, however, low efficiency rates have stood between these cells and the market. Read More
Israeli photovoltaics developer bSolar has developed a double-sided solar cell it claims can boost the energy yields of solar panels by up to 50 percent when installed vertically, or by between 10 and 30 percent in more typical installations. The "bifacial" cells rely on a back surface field (BSF) of boron rather than aluminum, which bSolar claims not only allows for an open rear face but also increases the efficiency at the front of the solar panel. Read More
We certainly hear a lot about solar cells that are able to convert larger and larger percentages of the sun's energy into electricity. That's all very well and good, but if those more-efficient solar cells are too expensive, they will still ultimately prove impractical for everyday use. Researchers from North Carolina State University, however, have found a way of creating "ultra-thin" solar cells that should create just as much electricity as their thicker siblings, but at a lower cost. Read More
MIT researchers develop all-carbon solar cell
Researchers at MIT have developed a new type of photovoltaic cell made with carbon nanotubes that captures solar energy in the near-infrared region of the spectrum, which conventional silicon solar cells don't. The new design means solar cell efficiency could be greatly increased, boosting the chances to make solar power a more popular source of energy. Read More
Although solar cells are proving indispensable for powering things such as electronic sensors on dry land, sensors located underwater have typically had to rely on batteries, or electricity piped in from photovoltaic panels situated above the surface. That could be changing, however, as scientists from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory have recently developed functioning underwater solar cells. Read More
It's hard to believe how many classic children's toys are getting modern makeovers these days - from the Etch A Sketch to toy helicopters to footballs - and now it looks like even the playground swing set is getting a slight upgrade with the Son-X Octavia. When attached to any swing, the Son-X will play different sound bites depending on how high or long a child swings, encouraging them to go higher. Read More
Solar power is up there as the quintessential clean energy and there's a race worldwide to develop better solar cells to overcome current challenges related to cell efficiency, manufacturing costs, durability and materials, among other things. One of the latest developments in the sector comes from Northwestern University where researchers have developed a stable dye-sensitized solar cell that may one day prove cheaper than silicon-based cells.

Comic Book Writers
Comic book writers are creative storytellers who possess both a strong command of language and a good visual sense. Although comic book writers do not have to be (and often are not) good visual artists, they must be able to weave engaging stories that can be rendered in lively artwork and told within a limited number of comic book panels. These challenges are unique to comic book writers, but it is a love of these challenges and the comic book form that attracts writers to this field.

Key West
Things to do in Key West
It would be simple enough to come to this island getaway and eat conch fritters, drinks margaritas and check out the sunset every evening at Mallory Square—and have a great time doing just that. But to dig a little deeper into the magic and history of this place, where are some great things to do in Key West. Take a ferry ride first: The Yankee Freedom II takes visitors the 70 miles (about two hours) from Key West to Dry Tortugas National Park, then you'll have about four hours to enjoy some of the best snorkeling in the world at Fort Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas beaches. (You can even camp here if you bring your own gear.)
One of the most classic things to do in Key West, Papa's House, is always worth it. The official tours start every 10 minutes and are led by a ramshackle group of stand-up comics turned literature lovers. If you don't have a half-hour to spare, see the ancestors of his cats (bred to have extra toes, also known as polydactyly) and his sons' room, where photos of the author on his many vacations (Africa, Paris, Cuba) give new meaning to his literary works. Key West has attracted its fair share of vacationing presidents (Eisenhower, Kennedy and Carter among them), and the memorabilia displayed at Truman's former winter residence turned museum, the Little White House, immortalizes every presidential visit. The free two-room exhibit has photos and videos; for more, take a 45-minute tour of the president's personal quarters, furnished with his desk and custom-made poker table. One great option, if you're wondering what to do in Key West with kids, is the 6,000-square-foot Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center. You'll learn about North America's only living contiguous barrier coral reef, and kids can get hand-son with a fun yellow submarine.
The museum dates to 1834.
A jazzy live band accompanies the rough-looking bartenders, who serve $3 brews to a wide range of characters beneath twinkling green lights.
The circa-1891 Key West Museum of Art & History at the Custom House features a dripping-with-malice portrait of Truman Capote, waving a 1976 American Bicentennial flag and pistol, a Vote for the Man sign and a bloody young couple in the foreground: it was done by Capote's fellow all-star of w
Cuban cigars are embargoed in the United States, so buy a legal version at this warren-like shop directly across from Mallory Square.
At the improbably first-rate theater, local boy Richard Wilbur once helped out with Molière translations.
Pick up cartoonlike sculptures (fish in red high heels, anyone?) and bright beachscape-painted tables and chairs at this boutique filled with handmade crafts by Floridian artists. All evoke a cheery Key West sensibility.
This annual arts exhibit of contemporary, large-scale outdoor sculptures and installations started in 1995 as an informal exhibit. Now, it showcases emerging and established artists from around the world.
Key West has attracted its fair share of vacationing presidents (Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Carter among them), and the memorabilia displayed at Truman's former winter residence turned museum immortalizes every presidential visit.
Almost every item in this ocean-themed shop is covered in seashells. There are handmade sand dollar– and starfish-rimmed mirrors and frames, along with gorgeous sea-glass chandeliers, all of which come wrapped in tissue paper decorated, yes, with shells.
Off the beaten path in an old Armory building, this nonprofit creative arts community center serves as an artist residency to more than 40 different artists each year. Mediums include writing, hair and headdress designing, dancing, painting, sculpting, and music.
Yacht owners tie up their boats and grab seats on the wraparound porch at this marina bar and slurp Key lime–garlic oysters during happy hour (4–6:30 p.m., when starters and drinks are half-price).
This recently renovated hotel restaurant hosts its very own cabaret; men in drag do nightly impersonations of celebrities like Madonna and Cher at the Crystal Room. Skip the overpriced poolside restaurant for a fresh mojito on the black-and-white-marble patio.
Catch an art film at the nonprofit Tropic Cinema (founded, in part, by writer Jean Carper and George Cooper, a retired law professor and author).
Owned by a Key West native who stocks her well-appointed accessories boutique with candles from Diptyque and Tocca, antique clocks, spicy red pepper–flavored Belgian chocolates, and enough Dr. Hauschka and Kiehls beauty products to keep you moisturized for life.
Spend the day at the 1850s park (don't miss the fascinating antique desalination plant). Here, you'll also find one of the few beaches in Key West with showers and picnic tables. Tip: bring waterproof sandals—the beach is pebbly.

Long line to nowhere
The new series of marine reserves proposed around the country, including one taking up most of the Coral Sea, are a win for environmental groups, but it does come at a cost.
The fishing industry is finding itself squeezed more and more tightly between offshore conservation areas and inshore port development for shipping, especially along the Queensland coast.

For the first time ever, rock icons Aerosmith are set to perform their classic album 'Toys in the Attic' in its entirety along with other classics during a summer tour.
The classic album has been credited for inspiring several musicians – including REM who covered the song on 1987's 'Dead Letter Office.' It was also one of two Aerosmith albums astronaut pilot Mark E. Kelly took with him on board the Space Shuttle Discovery on a 13-day, 8.5 million-kilometer trip to the International Space Station in July 2006.
The album spawned the now classic Aerosmith songs (and concert staples) "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion." It was featured on Rolling Stone's list of the "Greatest Albums of All Time."
The Aerosmith tour is presented by Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and kicked off June 10 in St. Louis. The tour will also feature special guests ZZ Top on June 21st.
The band made history in 2008 with the release of Activision's Guitar Hero: Aerosmith – marking the first music-based game built around the legendary music of Aerosmith.Note the date on this article may be incorrect due to importing it from our old system.

Koop I can see it trading up In the 1st and then again who am I trading for? RB Todd Gurley, DT Jordon Phillips,
guy was considered by many as top edgerusher. top 5 pick. i still see him as a top 10 to 15 pick. way too many teams needing pass rush help and or
Pretty impressive stat on Todman, 3 yrs in the league, 2 of which he has played in all 16 games....not a single fumble!
111 rushes, 40 receptions
Been thinking this through, which of course that is a mistake on my part.
First, I like the signing of Todman and the pickup of Martin. Why

Beautiful Masonic Auditorium on the top of Nob Hill - great sightlines, acoustics, etc. Chris Isaak put on a marvelous show. He had his brother open for him which was pretty much full-on country (not my favorite kind of music) but when he took the stage at 9:00am, he sang for almost an hour and 50 minutes. His voice was in fine form and he sang his songs as well as covering others, all dressed in a red sparkly suit and later in one that was silver -what a hoot!

I saw Chris Isaak many times in a small club on Haight St. across from the I-Beam (Full Moon Saloon?). We all knew he'd be a big star someday, so it was great fun to see him at the Masonic Auditorium. I hope he & the band had as much fun as we did!

I play tf because he reminds me of gambit, nothing more.
Will there be an offensive mastery tree remodel too?
No idea why Kat needed a nerf. Her ult is easily counterable, and now she is basically obsolete.
Wait, so not all the proposed test realm changes are in this patch?
I was looking forward to the spirit visage change, the change to madred's bloodrazor and frozen mallet
For such a long wait time. this patch is the worst in a long time. probably the worst since i started in august. After an entire month, there is nothing to show for but some tweaks and fixes that aren't ultimately ruining this game. I love the game but this is a tiny patch, especially for a month and it is definately not worth the wait. I am very disappointed with what Riot is putting out. Good tweaks but not the changes that need to happen. Twitch is still going to rock every game that he is in, especially in high ELO. It has nothing to do with his ulti AS bonus. Yi hits the max AS constantly but at the cost of having to be in close. Twitch gets to do it out of tower range, with aoe, with stackable on hit debuffs, and an ability to make it do more when its done, all at max attack speed because twitch already gets a big AS buff from stealth. This is just one of the many concerns that are keeping this patch from actually doing something to fix the real problems. Fail Riot. I've never once had to flame about something Riot did but this is just pitiful for a month of work, even with the holidays.

Donald Sterling Rant: NAACP Abandons Plans for Lifetime Achievement Honor
NAACP interim president Lorraine Miller stated on Sunday that embattled Clippers owner Donald Sterling will not be honored with a lifetime achievement award after audio of racist remarks emerged.
"He is not receiving a lifetime achievement award from the NAACP that's coming up in the next few weeks," Miller said on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday.
Sterling was among those scheduled to be honored by the Los Angeles NAACP next month.
The mogul is embroiled in controversy following the release of an audio recording of him making racist comments, but the civil rights organization previously tapped him as a lifetime achievement award honoree for NAACP LA's 100th anniversary celebration May 15.
RELATED: Magic Johnson Says He 'Will Never Go to a Clippers Game Again' After Owner's Racist Rant
The event is slated to take place at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, with other honorees including Rev. Al Sharpton and L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, both of whom condemned Sterling Saturday. NAACP California State Conference is urging the NAACP LA to withdraw Sterling from the ceremony.
"If these allegations are proven true, we are extremely disappointed in Mr. Sterling," Alice Huffman, President of the NAACP California State Conference, said in a statement. "Recent remarks like these, and those of Cliven Bundy, remind us that racism is not a footnote of our past, but a reality of our present that we must confront head on."
She added: "As the investigation is in progress, we urge the LA Branch of the NAACP to withdraw Donald Sterling from the honoree list at its upcoming Gala. We also suggest that African Americans and Latinos should honor his request and not attend the games."
The NAACP has previously honored Sterling with the lifetime achievement award in 2009, as well as the NAACP President's award in 2008. Ahead of his 2009 honor, the NAACP LA head Leon Jenkins praised Sterling to the Los Angeles Times, even as the mogul was being accused of racism in a lawsuit from former Clippers general manager and NBA hall of famer Elgin Baylor.
"He has a unique history of giving to the children of L.A.,"Jenkins said of Sterling the time, adding that Sterling routinely gave 2,000-3,000 tickets to local youth for each Clippers home game.
NAACP LA did not respond to requests for comment.

New York City Students Pay To Store Cell Phones
By editor
Originally published on Thu October 4, 2012 9:19 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Think of this like valet parking for your car. Students in New York City have valet parking for their phones. Cell phones are banned in New York schools, but students cannot bear to be without them on the subway ride to school and back. So entrepreneurs have been parking trucks near the schools. And there you can leave your phone for a dollar a day - or about $180 per year. The minute school is out students can go back to texting or being baffled by those new Apple maps. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

"Ever had the tacos at Flash Mart?" sounds like a crappy pick-up line some drunk chick would give you at Ghostbar. But, seriously, have you ever had them? No, of course there are no flashers inside the Flash Mart on Abrams Road. Gah. Everyone knows they're all at DISD high schools early in the morning. There is, however, the wonderful smell of barbacoa plus bacon thanks to their little taco stand, Taquería La Tejanita.
For brunch, I ordered a bacon and egg breakfast taco, a potato and egg breakfast taco, a barbacoa taco and a pastor taco. Got a giant cup of coffee and all four tacos for just $7.01. Suck it, Starbucks.
If you're more of a beer-with-brunch kind of person, there's a huge selection of beer at Flash Mart just for you, as well as a ridiculously large selection of incense, keychain wallets and cell phone covers.

The breakfast tacos were both on tiny flour tortillas and the filling-to-tortilla ratio was great: These things were piled high with eggs, bacon and potatoes. Refreshing, compared with a lot of places that somehow manage to put half an egg and a wad of bacon spittle on a giant tortilla and call it good to go. Taste-wise, these breakfast tacos were mother-boning amazing. Pour their red sauce or that stupid delicious green sauce on top and they're the breakfast of your dreams.
The juicy barbacoa and pineapple-y pastor tacos were on corn tortillas, and the kitchen just as heavy-handed with the filling of these magnificent little gifts from the food gods.
I'm happy these tacos were good. But, more than that, high fives to Taquería La Tejanita for figuring out what other Americanized taco stands still haven't: Name your taco stand anything in English and it sounds like lady-part euphemism. Proof: Velvet Taco. Rusty Taco. Fuzzy's Taco.
Even the sweetest, most innocent-sounding English word next to "taco" goes euphemism-y. Proof: Sweet Taco. Innocent Taco. Puppy Taco. Taquería La Tejanita in English: Little Texan Girl Taco.
Naming a taco stand? Stick with the Spanish. Eating at Taquería La Tejanita? Get the barbacoa and a bacon breakfast taco.

To the Editor:
With the sheriffs election fast approaching, I wanted to express my support for Larry Cleveland. Up until my retirement in May of this year, I served as Warren County Administrator. In my position, I had many occasions to work with Larry on Warren County issues, including his budget and the 30+ contracts he manages.
Larry is an excellent department manager and administrator. He has saved the county thousands of dollars by carefully watching his budget and by helping other departments. When cuts to the budget were needed, he would cooperate by identifying areas where we could cut expenses without cutting critical public safety services. And when the public safety building was under construction, he personally scrutinized hundreds of payments over a dozen contractors and subcontractors. Ever mindful of our tax dollars, he brought the project in on time and under budget.
When the municipal center was recently closed due to an electrical fire, Larry opened his command center and provided telephones and workspace so the county clerk, department of public health and board of supervisors could keep county government services functioning during the emergency.
He also manages over 30 contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, including health, dental and food services for the jail, vehicle maintenance, uniform purchases, radio repair maintenance, computer systems and building security. He also has public safety contracts with the Village of Lake George, the Town of Chester and the state of New York which he handles for the county.
In my opinion, Larry Cleveland is a professional administrator with the skills, expertise and most importantly, the experience needed to serve as our sheriff. There is no one else in this election more qualified.

Solar Blanket saves chlorine
Does anyone put their solar covers on to save on chlorine?
I used a solar cover about two years before it broke down. I ended up saving about 50 percent of chlorine. I just now bought another solar cover and just got it on. Also I dont have to run my pump as much.
I use a solar blanket in May and September, to cut down on heating costs (because during those months, swimming is more rare, anyways). It does save on running my pump (and running my chlorine generator), but honestly, it is really ugly and a pain to work with (pool odly shaped, so a roller doesn't really work).
I wish someone would come up with something as efficient (or more), that wasn't such a pain...They would make 100s of millions if not more.....
(Haven't tried any of the liquid solar products, because a) I am a skeptic b) it is just more consumables I have to buy c) my wife is worried they kids will drink it by accident in the water)

I have always been intrigued by the power of leverage. Using leverage means borrowing money to invest in something for the purpose of magnifying your profit potential.
When you are right, leverage works in your favor. When you are wrong though, leverage could result in disastrous results and bankruptcy.
An interesting leveraged instrument is SSO, which generates double the daily return of the S&P 500 through investments in stock index futures. If the S&P 500 rises by 1 %, SSO will increase by about 2%. The changes are never EXACTLY twice the rate of change for S&P 500 due to tracking errors.
I gathered daily data for S&P 500 going back to 1950. I then calculated the returns for the 58 year period for twice the daily changes in the index. I didn't account for taxes, commissions, dividends and interest for simplicity purposes. The results are truly astonishing.
Investors who could have stomached the extra volatility from the increased exposure to the S&P 500 could have enjoyed average annual returns of almost 14.33% annually. The worst drawdown in annual returns occurred from 1972-1974 -68.60%, and 69.50% during the 2000 - 2003 bear markets. In addition to that, investors who bought the back tested index at the end of 1999 are still underwater by 37%.Here are the results per decade:
Year $1 invested at the beginning of the decade grows to: at the end of the decade
1950's $ 11.32
1960's $ 2.13
1970's $ 1.14
1980's $ 7.77
1990's $ 14.14
2000's $ 0.78
For example if you invested $1 in the SSO at the end of 1980, your investment would have grown to $55 by the end of 2007. On the other hand, the same $1 investment in an S&P index fund would have grown to $22.50.
So how should investors incorporate leverage in their portfolios? I believe that a 5% to 10% of ones portfolio could be invested in a leveraged instrument like SSO as a long-term investment. Over time this investment should boost your profitability overall.

Noves feared title would 'slip away'
ESPNscrum Staff
June 5, 2011
David Skrela endured a high-profile off-day in the Top 14 final © Getty Images
Guy Noves has admitted that he feared the Top 14 title would 'slip away' from Toulouse after fly-half David Skrela's kicking nightmare gave Montpellier hope of a famous upset in Saturday's Stade de France finale.
Le Rouge et Noir were made to fight for every one of their 15 points by a Montpellier side emboldened by a historic play-off march, with Skrela's wayward boot contributing to some nervous moments for the now 18-times champions.
Montpellier scored the only try of the game, through winger Timoci Nagusa, but were eventually overrun as two late penalties from Nicolas Bezy, Skrela's replacement, rewarded their territorial dominance.
"You have to make your superiority count," Noves said. "When David was missing his kicks I said to myself 'it's just not possible' - it was complicated. I thought at one stage it might slip away. Finally we made our domination count."
Montpellier boss Fabien Galthie conceded that his side struggled to impose themselves on the game and that Toulouse were worthy winners.
"In the end we had difficulty keeping the ball and directing the game. Well done Toulouse, they were better than us," he said.

Greetings internet Fold!
I will admit… I have never crossed the borders of 4chan, but I have seen things come out… terrible things. Reddit is like a tame version, which is scary enough. I guess it's like going to any foreign place, just stick to where people you trust have told you to go, and DO NOT STRAY. There is only weeping and gnashing of teeth.
On another note… I love TRON. I can't help myself.
