Tech sets out to help the homeless
Google "tech," "San Francisco," and "homeless" right now, and you will undoubtedly find the tale of Greg Gopman, former CEO of AngelHack, whose notorious Facebook comments comparing homeless people to "hyenas," among other things, earned him a viral dose of public shaming delivered via Twitter and the blogosphere.
Needless to say, the less-than-angelic entrepreneur didn't score any points with vocal critics of the tech sector as a driving force of gentrification in San Francisco.
"I looked at this tech boy's face and wondered if he ever really worked in his life," scoffed longtime activist Tony Robles, in an editorial for POOR Magazine. "He has pampered written all over his face. He says he been all over the world, to third world countries even (clap clap clap). I hope he wasn't as big an assh**e overseas as he is here in the Bay Area."
In this climate of flaring tempers, increasingly defined by escalating tension between the haves and the have-nots, tech entrepreneur Rose Broome is wading in with something she believes can help solve homelessness in San Francisco and elsewhere: A startup.
Hey @Sidecar, Chris is homeless and could really use a winter jacket. Can you help? https://t.co/FAPIFsnhNv #MakeMyHoliday

HandUp is unlike any homeless services provider. It doesn't operate as a nonprofit, nor does it provide shelter, accept donated blankets or foodstuffs for those in need, or connect people directly with mental health services or substance abuse counseling.
Instead, in accordance with a Silicon Valley-based formula that encourages a technology user to share in order to earn points and broaden one's circle, it is based on digital profiles.
HandUp "members," who include individuals living on the street as well as those at risk of becoming homeless, are aided in the creation of their own webpages, where they write out their bios, pose for professional photographs, and make a list of items they need. They are also given something like business cards, to hand to people on the streets as a way to direct them to their website.
Donors may then visit the website, surf through the member profiles, and decide how much to give and to whom. The whole transaction can occur without the donor ever having an interaction with an actual person on the street, but Broome says the donors express interest in how the members are doing, while members express curiosity about who has chosen to help them and why. If the donors feel uncomfortable selecting an individual, they can contribute to a general fund.
Once a member has received a donation, they can go to Project Homeless Connect, HandUp's partner organization, to redeem it for things such as clean socks or canned food. "It really depends on what the person needs," Broome said. "People need their phone bill paid, bike locks, temporary housing, help with ordering things online. We want this to be open because people have all kinds of needs." So far, with a pilot program, Broome says members have averaged $200 in donations per month.
HandUp plans to begin fundraising for its corporate development soon, and it's won public praise from Bevan Dufty, appointed by Mayor Ed Lee to address homeless issues, and Sup. Jane Kim.
Broome told the Bay Guardian that she got her idea after witnessing a homeless woman sleeping on the street last winter. "I was like, why, in a city with so many resources … have we not figured out some new ways to tackle homelessness?" she wondered.
That is a good question. It's a question that many a homeless advocate, affordable-housing activist, clergy member, Occupy protester, health-care provider, government employee, candidate for office, international visitor, or generally compassionate individual has likely asked as well. But the problem persists.
HandUp isn't the first tech-based initiative to try and tackle homelessness: There's also this, and this, and this.
As Salon.com writer Andrew Leonard put it in an article where he reflected on HandUp and his interactions with Jason Calacanis, HandUp's lead investor, "I also detected what I thought was the unstated assumption that if the almighty tech community just got around to devoting its attention to the issue, then it could be fixed, lickety-split."
.@Gopmania, you said something really dumb, but you are a good person. Go to http://t.co/83ClgRnOFC and give 5 folks $100 each--I will match

Broome, who partnered with software engineer Zac Witte to formulate the HandUp platform, attracted some criticism for taking the for-profit route. HandUp is registered as a benefit corporation, a kind of corporate entity that has a positive social mission "baked in," as she puts it, to its raison d'être.
"We don't want to be constantly struggling, and constantly fundraising," she explained when we asked about why HandUp is a for-profit entity. "Our social mission is very core to what we do." A mechanism for generating revenue will come further down the line, she said – not by taking a cut of the donations, but through partnerships with retailers who will be part of the system for redeeming donations.
Broome acknowledged that her idea might be dismissed as too simplistic. "It's sort of a cliché, that tech people want to pull out a phone and solve a problem," she said.
And while the basic desire to help is laudable, it's hard to see how great of an impact this could have when considering the broader economic picture. The Bay Area is ground zero for a sweeping national trend of income inequality, and the housing affordability crisis is undeniably a key reason why there are so many people without homes. This very crisis is fueled by an influx of tech employees. HandUp doesn't begin to approach this root cause.
It's also a bit questionable that members are expected to publish their names, images, and life stories in order to get their needs met. Some members, out of desperation, are even sharing details about past incarceration, drug use, or medical problems, which could actually hinder their efforts to land a job or find housing in the long run.
But Broome says personal stories contribute to HandUp's greatest strength, which is to "humanize" the problem of homelessness for prospective donors who may not understand their plight or otherwise think twice about them. "We help put a really human face on homelessness. It's hard to have an understanding of what homelessness is like," but by giving people a forum to share their story, "It helps you have empathy."
Do San Franciscans really need that much help feeling a sense of empathy? If they are anything like Gopman, then maybe so. This week's Guardian editorial dives into this a bit.
Kara Zordel, executive director of Project Homeless Connect, acknowledged that HandUp is not a cure-all, yet said she was pleased to see new energy and "to have anybody from the community coming up with some idea." After all, a startup that aims to tackle homelessness could lead to a flood of donations from tech workers, a demonstrably better outcome than tech workers sounding off on Facebook about how disgusted they are by the homeless.
"I don't think this is a good fit for someone who is ill on the street, but there's not one program that's going to fit every single need," Zordel went on. For people who are mentally or physically ill and living on the street, there is still vast unmet need, she added.
"If I could have one wish, it would be for medically based housing in San Francisco," Zordel went on. "Even if we have 1,000 different housing units, we have a lot of medically fragile people," who would require a high level of care in order to improve, she explained.
At the same time, she emphasized that any person who approaches Project Homeless Connect with a need will be treated equally, whether they participate in HandUp or not.
"There's no way I would feel comfortable sleeping at night thinking that somebody on HandUp is more deserving than somebody who's not," she said. And on the whole, she agreed, the problem of a lack of housing for those out on the street should be prioritized. "Until we meet the needs of the homeless," she asked, "Are we really going to feel whole as a city?"
I feel sure they will be very happy to get off the hook so lightly.
but his money is still welcome!
All the Bay Guardian hand wringing accomplishes is an open invitation.
The lemmings at the Bay Guardian can piss and moan, in the end millions is spent by the city and the throng of non-profits around town, and nothing will ever change.
City services should be for the citizens of the city, not just some fuck up who drops by.
professional SF progressives when it relates to their preferred non profits or city programs. But when it pertains to tech workers and their shuttles then they demand the STRICTEST standards!
Certain groups need to finance the world view of progressives.
Certain groups because of their terrible choices are entitled to do as they wish.
Tech companies should not be able to use bus stops for a few minutes at a time.
Camping out on the sidewalk all day with you mean asocial dog is encouraged.
This is so wrong, on so many levels.
Where do I begin?
First, some personal thoughts on becoming homeless.
Number 1: I (we, my wife and I, but I will use myself only for this) am not homeless (although I have recently learned my building in Hayes Valley will be put on sale in the near future; it is unlikely I will be able to find another apartment to remain in San Francisco as I cannot afford current market rents). I have never been homeless. Nor am I involved with any organization that deals with the homeless. I can only imagine what it would be like to be homeless. And I'm sure I don't have a firm grasp on all the needs of the homeless (some working, some not), such as help with ordering things online which I would not have thought is a major concern.
Number 2: If I become homeless I will not want my name and picture on a website (creation of their own webpages, where they write out their bios, pose for professional photographs, and make a list of items they need) for donors to peruse and deem if I am worthy of their charity, some of those perusing donors no doubt being former co-workers, family, friends, acquaintances, etc. And then there's my family on the other side of the country, and my ex schoolmates from college and high school (this is the internet, after all). Please, tell everyone on earth how I have failed. I know I would feel ashamed, right or wrong, for the situation I find myself in. I'm pretty sure I could adjust my expectations and my (loss of) sense of self-worth enough to accept help and charity when it's offered, but I would want to keep my humiliation and shame to a minimum. And yes, things could get so bad eventually that I would need to put even those last shreds of dignity aside and accept what I would consider further public humiliation, but I would resent it for being a price I am made to pay to survive. And then adding my short bio with my needs would only further my sense of resentment for having to 'perform' in order to receive my charitable donation, and it puts me in competition with others to make my plight more 'worthy' to be selected by beneficent donors.
Number 3: If I become homeless I expect I will be more concerned with eating, having a place to sleep, and my personal safety before anything else. I doubt I would find very much free time/opportunity to visit the 'community/web center' to create my home page (while guarding my meager belongings). No matter how many facilities you offer.
Number 4: It appears, according to the story and the HandUp website, that the program's objective is to help me live homeless more comfortably, not to end my homeless state.
Now, to the meat of the matter.
The tech people are obviously so out of touch with reality outside of their inner circles it makes me want to start a petition to require all tech graduates to also complete a liberal arts program before they can graduate. They just don't seem to have a clue. Their ability to empathize with the problems of the homeless runs the gamut from 0 to 1 (my apologies, Dorothy).
I donate/lend to KIVA. I do not have to interact with those I lend my money to, in fact it is impossible, as I cannot afford to travel to the places my money goes. And truthfully, I don't want to go. I don't want to meet them. I just want to help when I can. But to offer as a perk/inducement to donors of this program shows a dumbfounding lack of sensitivity.
Regarding (and not a non-profit), this just screams startup/venture capital/good for my tech resume to me. Somehow, someway, someone wants to make a profit from this. The motivation is suspect.
<"We help put a really human face on homelessness. It's hard to have an understanding of what homelessness is like," but by giving people a forum to share their story, "It helps you have empathy."> Well, let me suggest this to you: A photo on a webpage is not actually a human face. It is a representation of a human face. The actual human face is sitting on the grass in Civic Center, and under the freeway in a tent, or living in a car parked behind Best Buy. Gather your friends, jump on the google bus and take a detour on your way to Mountain View. Stop the bus, jump off for a minute and empathize. That single statement puts the whole 'tech community approach' in a nutshell. They only see the problem, and it's solution, through their own narrow lens, via the cellphone app, or an email, or a website. If they could they would offer chits for Amazon drone deliveries to your cardboard refrigerator box. They seem incapable of doing otherwise. Not a single aspect of this 'solution' requires the donors (obviously the heroes here) to 'get their hands dirty'.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you think that a google shuttle bus surrounded by protesters in a Muni bus stop is a powerful symbolic image of the haves vs havenots problems in this city, wait till you see the image of the google shuttle bus burning down in the Muni bus stop. If something doesn't change for the better we'll see it sooner than we'd like.
Nobody owes you a rent that you clearly cannot afford.
Move to Oakland.
Nor is your threat of arson very convincing. You just sound angry at yourself for not succeeding.
Guest, you have a one track mind with the many complex issues surrounding affordable housing in sf, or really the entire Bay Area ( I can always tell its you by the two or three line dismissive suggestion to move to Oakland ), and once again, if your response to gussdolan was all you could muster, it seems you don't do much thinking. Why do you center on him moving away, instead of the main points of his comment- his thoughts on Handup? That is what the story is about, correct? Engage in some critical thinking once in awhile.
except in a trivial way by building the odd BMR unit here and there.
Accepting that expensive cities are, er, expensive would go a long way to aiding your understanding of this and any other complex issue.
Blah. You're hopeless.
one-line prejudice is evidence enough that your viewpoint is worthless.
Using the little while of reimbursing period of around 30 days lenders supply the amount beneath this mortgage from GBP80
to GBP1,500.
I wasn't too comfortable with it either, and you put a lot of my feelings into words.
PS... don't mind the trolls
someone who disagrees with Greg who Greg cannot refute.
This seems well intentioned.
But it also reveals just how out of touch and naive the people behind it are.
Also, there's already a 'handup' website. It's run by a church in Milton Pa and has almost the same business model as this one.
I give this 6 months til fade out.
Like a lot of tech applications, these are good intentions but poor understanding. Like a lot of what's going on in Silicon Valley, people think they can solve social problems with technology. That's not going to happen here.
All this is is a model for people to give money to homeless people without interacting with them. It's just about taking what was once a social interaction and moving it to a web browser so you don't have to actually *deal* with that person.
A hundred bucks and a jacket isn't going to get someone off the street. It might help them subsist a little bit longer, but it's not going to get them out of there. Ending homelessness is a problem that has to work on a government scale, because it takes a large up-front investment to build the shelters, networks and connections the homeless need to really get into a place and stay there. Not to mention drug counseling, rehab, dealing with alcohol abuse, etc.
A lot of tech workers think they can solve social problems in very libertarian ways using technology, but these aren't actual solutions, they're bandaids. Likewise, someone mentioned an app that helps homeless people find shelters with beds - again, nice for helping homeless people subsist but even helping them find beds doesn't actually address finding a home, finding work, making this work long-term.
That's not to say that donating to the homeless is bad, or that it isn't appreciated - but IMO the app basically sounds like a web browser version of walking down the street and actually giving something to a homeless person. It's nice that people can do it from their phone or browser or whatever, but it A) doesn't reach the people who aren't on the app (another major problem with tech) and B) doesn't actually address any of the social issues for homelessness, so people are still just as poor off as they were before.
Mostly, though, it makes me concerned that the tech industry really thinks it can solve social problems from behind a computer screen rather than by interacting with people. That's just not a good trend.
but your sentence "It makes me concerned that the tech industry really thinks it can solve social problems from behind a computer screen rather than by intereacting with people" caught my eye.
I don't think it is the tech industry's responsibility to solve a City's social problems. IMHO, that is for society as a whole to deal with, with government leading the way. The tech industry should be a good citizen of the city they are in, however. And if somebody comes up with an app that alleviates the suffering of even 20 people, I'm all for it. And if they can manage to run a successful business doing it, I'm in favor of that, too. A win-win in my book
But what I'm referring to is the fact that these tech "solutions" we keep seeing don't actually involve the community or getting involved. It's like those videos last year about Kony 2012 where a bunch of people felt that if they all clicked "Like" on the video, it would somehow get Kony caught or killed.
In the end, the video received thousands or millions of likes. But it doesn't matter because Kony is still out there, still using child soldiers. I think the term people were throwing around was "Slacktivists," people who share and forward articles from computer screens, but don't get involved at the ground level.
At the end of the day, if you want to solve homelessness it involves a group effort at the ground level, interacting with, communicating with and being amongst homeless people. It involves leaving your computer and getting out there and doing something, and what concerns me is applications like HandUp making people think that sending some money through an app is enough, then returning to their bubble, and trying to pretend the problem doesn't exist anymore.
for incisive analysis and thoughtful commentary (unfortunately sullied by personal attack from the move to Oakland simpleton).
Food and rent riots coming soon to a neighborhood near you. For this phenomenon, San Francisco will lag other parts of the country.
Let them eat lead.
All those protestors need is a massage at the end of a police baton and they'd re-think their advocacy of violence real quick.
Or else it's the ass-raping in the big house that achieves that.
have some experience with that kind of thing eh?
intellectuals who get banged up for protesting tend to leave prison with an anal cavity far larger than when they arrived.
If I buy an indulgence from the website, can I go back to wishing the homeless would just go away?
The last two paragraphs say that Project Homeless Connect won't differentiate between those who have received donations through HandUp and those who haven't, so the company's claim that people redeem donations for goods is false. It's plain, old fundraising, which is fine, but seems really disingenuous.
You'll never be royals (roy-als)
It's not in your blood, we were born from gods and angels,
you obviously came from mud-
Let me be your ruler (roo-ler)
You can call me King "G",
And, baby, I'll rule (Irule-Irule-Irule-Irooooo)
Let me live that fantasy. (woe, woe.... woe-woe)
Rumor has it Gopman lived, by himself, for years, in a subsidized unit at 420 Berry St..
420 Berry is BMR housing supposedly reserved for families.

text: Bek, I can answer your whole post by saying I don't believe all disputes need to be resolved. People disagree. Who cares? They love God, they believe they've done right based in their relationship with God. Even if they did completely the opposite of what I believe is true, it's not for me to say what God told them is wrong. I believe God can say different things to different people. I believe a passage in the Bible can be read through the Holy Spirit and be interpreted many different, and equally correct, ways for different people. I don't believe I need a, or the, church or a pastor to tell me right or wrong; I have God. Not that I always listen or interpret correctly, but I would trust what I feel from the Holy Spirit over anyone. That's not to say I don't ask for guidance sometimes, I do, but I ask for guidance from God first, then others, then God again. I don't care if my whole church disagrees, they don't know all the answers any more than I do. I'm non-denominational, but don't care what denomination you are, we can always agree to disagree - the fundamentals of my faith (that I believe Jesus died and rose again etc.) is what is most important, that we love God and one another, and that we continue to seek with open minds and hearts.

Whey Protein and Protein Powders
Whey protein, other types of protein powder and protein shakes are widely regarded as the single most important bodybuilding supplement for gaining muscle mass, boosting athletic performance, improving muscle tone and increasing overall health. Most people do not consume enough protein in their daily diet and protein powder can be used to add additional protein to your diet easily and conveniently!
Whey protein is the most popular form of protein powder. It is highly bio-available, low in fat and carbohydrates, and digests relatively rapidly. Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Whey is a great choice and makes it an ideal post-workout shake when fast sources of protein are needed. However if you're using protein powder before bed or between meals, you may want to consider selecting a good quality protein blend like Bodybuilding Warehouse Performance Protein or micellar casein. Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Casein is the UK's best quality, best value miceller casein and is ideal for those looking for an anti-catabolic protein that will slowly drip feed their muscles over an 8 hour period. For a low fat post workout option Whey IsoClear (our fruity whey isolate) is an excellent choice.

Best Protein
Best value for money protein about, used to always use discount supplements and protein works but since finding bodybuilding warehouse a few month ago il never use any other again. protein mixes great with no lumps at all. no complaints at all
Transformation Stack
Great Value For Money
I brought this stack with my protein discount card making it even better value. Quick speedy service and all products work well together I would avoid mixing the Green Tea Extract with your protein shake as the taste is quite potent. not all things good for you taste nice fact of life.
Bodybuilding Warehouse Premium Peptide Probiotic - 2.1kg
Good Quality Protein Blend
Nutritionally it's a great product. Ideal for anyone using a powder throughout anytime of the day because of the absorption rate of the different proteins. Price is a little high but due to the nature of everything it has in it I would say it's definitely reasonable and competitive against other similar products. It's the second time I've bought the Peptide Whey now and it seems to be a very good all around shake; low calorie, low carb, high protein, large amino acid range etc. My only criticisms are how frothy it becomes when shaken up (maybe due to the egg protein), and the taste is not quite as sweet. It seems like a very light, frothy shake. I've tried the chocolate and the chocolate cookie crunch so far and be aware the crunch version actually has crunchy pieces in it! I didn't realise this and then was having crunchy shakes for about a month!
Performance Protein V2
Performance Protein
Great all round protein. ..After using for along time I can feel the benefits from this protein keeps me fresh and ready to smash my next workout !
Pure Hemp Protein 50
Excellent Quality
This is excellent quality hemp protien and the best price around. It does add a slightly nutty flavour to anything you add it to but mixes ok. I just drink it down in a glass of water. It's the ony protein to contain omega 3 (as well as 6 and 9), it's good for inflammation, reduces muscle soreness and contains every amino acid. I'm not a body builder. I have crohnes desease, I follow a vegetarian diet and hemp is something that I feel benefits my condition, along with l-glutamine and psyllium husk. With these 3 combined I no longer need medication and feel very healthy. Great product great price...try it!

New tech helps clubs spot talent
Bodley: Nats must be patient
As a reliever. How often does this happen? "Not very often," scouting director Brad Grant admitted. But the Indians think they've found a natural in Adams, who recently finished up a senior season at Faulkner -- an NAIA school in Alabama -- in which he would start games at short and often finish them on the mound. He was 0-2 with 12 saves and a 3.00 ERA in 24 innings over 20 appearances as his team's closer. Obviously, Adams can hit, and that's why the Brewers gave him the attention they did last summer. But Adams' raw stuff on the mound is intriguing. Shortstops must possess arm strength, but Adams takes that notion to the extreme. "It's 94-98 [mph]," Grant said of Adams' fastball. "You don't see that very often. It's pretty special." The 22-year-old Adams, listed at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, will obviously have some learning to do, as this pitching thing is still rather new to him. But he caught some scouts' attention this year. "He's what player development is about," a National League scout told Baseball America this spring. "He has the kind of arm that is hard to find, and he might really improve by going full-time to the mound." In addition to the fastball, Adams also throws what Grant called a "plus" curveball. "We've seen Adams the past three years," Grant said. "Our area scout, Chuck Bartlett, has a very good feel for Adam. He feels if you put this guy in the right role, he has a chance to excel. We're going to put him in a bullpen role and hope that his power plays up in a bullpen role." With Day 2 of the Draft in the books, the Indians' selections, to this point, reveal several trends. First off, the Indians have gone the expected route and been heavy on pitchers, as 20 of their first 30 picks are pitchers. The Tribe also went 23 rounds without selecting a high school player, and 28 of the first 30 picks were from a college or university. On Day 2, the Indians took three players from the University of Arizona (right-handers Cory Burns and Preston Guilmet and catcher Dwight Childs) and two from the area (Kent State right-hander Kyle Smith and Port Clinton high school right-hander Michael Hamann). And on the quirky side of things, the Tribe drafted two guys named Kyle Smith -- the Kent State product and a shortstop from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Here's the compete rundown of the Day 2 activity: Round 4: Kyle Bellows, 3B, San Jose State: The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Bellows played shortstop in college, but the Indians are projecting him to be a third baseman. Grant said Bellow, 20, has a very good bat with developing power. Round 5: Austin Adams, RHP, Faulkner: The aforementioned Faulkner's fastball reportedly reaches as high as 98 mph but more commonly sits at 93-96. His curveball has been clocked in the low-80s. He resides in Millbrook, Ala. Round 6: Ben Carlson, 1B, Missouri State: The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Carlson bats from the left-hand side and has raw power, as evidenced by his leading the Missouri Valley Conference in home runs in 2008 and '09. Carlson, 21, had elbow surgery last year. Round 7: Jordan Henry, OF, University of Mississippi: The 6-foot, 170-pound Henry played center field for Mississippi. He has speed, a strong arm and good fielding skills. His glove currently outweighs his bat, which is a work in progress. Round 8: Cory Burns, RHP, University of Arizona: The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Burns is a sidearmer with a fastball, changeup and slider. He's pitched primarily in a bullpen role. Round 9: Preston Guilmet, RHP, University of Arizona: The Indians went with back-to-back picks from Arizona's pitching staff. "Last year, we had our University of Michigan run," Grant said. "This year, we had a University of Arizona run." Guilmet is listed at 6-foot-2, 190 pounds. The A's took him in the second round last year. He is more of a finesse than a power arm. Round 10: Brett Brach, RHP, Monmouth University: The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Brach is from Freehold, N.J., which is the birthplace of Bruce Springsteen. He was 7-3 with a 4.78 ERA in 15 appearances, including 10 starts, this past season. He struck out 77 and walked 14, so he obviously knows how to work a strike zone. Round 11: Kirk Wetmore, LHP, Bellevue Community College: Wetmore is listed at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds. He transferred from the University of Washington. He was 6-2 with a 2.89 ERA in 10 starts, striking out 85 and walking 28. Round 12: Joseph Colon, RHP, no school: No school? There's a story behind that. "He was at a junior college in Puerto Rico, named Huertas," Grant explained. "The Cubs tried to sign him last winter and found out he was Draft-eligible." So the Indians scooped Colon up. Round 13: Jeremy Johnson, RHP, Washington State University: The 5-foot-11, 186-pound Johnson just finished his junior season. He was a reliever for Washington State, going 6-2 with a 2.90 ERA. He struck out 124 and walked 33, which no doubt appealed to the Tribe. Round 14: Kyle Smith, SS, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo: The Indians' first Kyle Smith selected Wednesday is a 6-foot-1, 190-pounder who bats from the right-hand side. Smith, 21, has a solid glove and has made strides offensively. Round 15: Mike Rayl, LHP, Palm Beach Community College: The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Rayl has committed to transfer to Florida for his junior season.

Round 16: Dale Dickerson, RHP, Nicholls State University: The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Dickerson was rated the 30th best prospect from Louisiana by Baseball America. Round 17: Casey Frawley, SS, Stetson University: Frawley, 21, is 5-foot-11, 170 pounds and bats right-handed. He played the middle infield in college, but the Indians might try him out as a center fielder. Round 18: Dwight Childs, C, University of Arizona: This was the first catcher selected by the Tribe in a Draft that is not considered deep on college catching talent. He is billed as an excellent defender with a strong arm. His defense is what put him on the Indians' radar. Round 19: Nick Kirk, LHP, University of Northern Iowa: Kirk is 6-foot-1, 200 pounds. Baseball America rated him as the fourth-best prospect from Iowa. He's billed as a strike-thrower. Round 20: Kyle Smith, RHP, Kent State University: Kyle Smith No. 2 is a 6-foot-6, 220-pound right-hander from Louisville, Ohio. He has had some shoulder problems that drastically hurt his stock in the Draft, but the Indians like his talent and believe he has the athleticism to repeat his delivery. He has a three-pitch mix and size. Round 21: Jeff Rowland, OF, Georgia Tech: Rowland is yet another center fielder taken by the Tribe in this Draft. He reportedly has speed and defensive skills, but his arm is nothing to write home about. Round 22: Kenneth Kelly, RHP, Yavapai College: The 6-foot-1, 170-pound Kelly is from Scottsdale, Ariz., and has committed to go to Arizona State. He has a fastball and a changeup, but what's interesting is his good, old-fashioned eephus pitch, which is always a crowd-pleaser. Round 23: Daniel Jimenez, LHP, John A. Logan College: Logan is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound left-hander who was rated Illinois' ninth-best prospect by Baseball America. He is 19 years old Round 24: Michael Hamann, RHP, Danbury High School: This is the Port Clinton product the Indians are taking a chance on. He's already committed to play for Toledo, but the Indians will track his development this summer and, in Grant's words, "see what happens." Round 25: Blake Hauser, RHP, Manchester High School: The 6-foot-2, 170-pound Hauser hails from Midlothian, Va. Baseball America ranked him as the best prospect in Virginia. He has committed to Virginia Commonwealth University and might be difficult to sign at this juncture. Round 26: Antwone Hubbard, RHP, University of Oklahoma: The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Hubbard is another big-bodied arm, but he's battled a fractured leg that limited him to nine appearances this year, which was his sophomore season. Round 27: Tyler Sturdevant, RHP, New Mexico State University: Sturdevant is 6-foot-1, 170 pounds and hails from Littleton, Colo. New Mexico State has used him as both a starter and a reliever. Round 28: Nick Sarianides, RHP, Chattahoochee Valley Community College: The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Sarianides is a 19-year-old from Fortson, Ga. Round 29: Xorge Carrillo, C, Central Arizona College: The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Carrillo is from Tempe, Ariz. So that's two catchers from Arizona in one Draft. Like Childs, he's more skilled behind the plate than at it. Round 30: Bryson Smith, 2B, Young Harris College: With their final pick on Day 2, the Indians went with the 6-foot-1, 195-pound Smith. Like Rayl, he's also committed to go to Florida next year. He hit .469 with 21 homers and 90 RBIs and was named the National Junior College Athletic Association's Player of the Year.

30 Rock: Seasons 1 - 7 DVD Set
Price: $289.86
Emmy Award winner Tina Fey writes, executive produces, and stars as Liz Lemon, the head writer of a live variety program in New York City. Liz's life is turned upside down when brash new network executive Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin in his Golden Globe winning role) interferes with her show, bringing the wildly unpredictable Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) into the cast. Now it's up to Liz to manage the mayhem and still try and have a life. Join in the behind-the-scenes hilarity with the complete first season (21 episodes) on DVD.
Season 2
Relive the second season of the Primetime Emmy® Award-winning comedy 30 Rock, the show that the guy who writes stuff on DVD boxes calls my current assignment and that Gillian Flynn of Entertainment Weekly has named simply the best TV. Created by Golden Globe® and SAG Award winner Tina Fey, 30 Rock features Fey (as TV writer Liz Lemon), Golden Globe® and SAG Award winner Alec Baldwin (as corporate executive Jack Donaghy), Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski (as Lemons unpredictable stars, Tracy Jordan and Jenna Maroney) and Jack McBrayer (as the naive NBC page Kenneth Parcell). Co-workers and friends, they are all trying to balance work and life, with the inevitable result of failed relationships, disastrous parties, at-work drunkenness, hard-core coffee addiction, world-class sandwich eating and occasional attempts to chop down Christmas trees. Join in the behind-the-scenes fun with lots of exclusive content and all fifteen episodes of the acclaimed second season of 30 Rock from executive producer Lorne Michaels.
Season 3
Re-enjoy the complete third season of the Primetime Emmy® and Golden Globe® Award-winning comedy 30 Rock, hailed by The New York Times as its third season and by The Sun as a comedy shown on NBC [which is a] network. Primetime Emmy®, Golden Globe® and SAG® Award winner (and show creator) Tina Fey and Primetime Emmy®, Golden Globe® and SAG® Award winner Alec Baldwin star as corporate executive Jack Donaghy and TV writer Liz Lemon (reverse respectively). Together, Jack and Liz manage the workplace chaos with no help from Lizs loose-cannon stars Tracy Jordan and Jenna Maroney (Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski) and hapless NBC page Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer). The end result is topless break-dancing, professional tetherball, geriatric kidnapping, bird murder, sexual espionage, Appalachian witchcraft, patricide, gay lion tattoos and important life lessons learned from sasquatches.
Season 4
Revisit all the hilarity of the complete fourth season of the Primetime Emmy® Award, Golden Globe®, Peabody®, and SAG Award®-winning 30 Rock. Show creator Tina Fey and fellow Primetime Emmy Award®, Golden Globe®, and SAG® Award winner Alec Baldwin star as TV writer Liz Lemon and conservative GE executive Jack Donaghy, who together preside over the everyday mayhem at a late-night variety show. Pretending to help them are mercurial stars Tracy Jordan and Jenna Maroney (Tracy Morgan and Jane Krakowski) as well as wide-eyed NBC page Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer).
Season 5
Re-experience the complete fifth season of the Primetime Emmy® and Golden Globe® Award-winning comedy 30 Rock, heralded as funny by some random Twitter user and a bitterly merry comic jihad against corporate stupidity and mendaciousness by Glenn Garvin of the Miami Herald -- which is pretty much what the Twitterer said in 140 characters or less. Primetime Emmy®, Golden Globe® and SAG® Award winner Tina Fey stars as showrunner Liz Lemon and Primetime Emmy®, Golden Globe® and SAG® Award winner Alec Baldwin is corporate executive Jack Donaghy in this behind-the-scenes romp about sketch show TGS; its neurotic stars, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) and Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) ; hapless NBC page Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) and the rest of the befuddled crew working to create the magic of television. Brought to you by the folks at GE Kabletown, its a season of video obituaries, cross-dressing love, page showdowns, Canadian births and other strange events in 22 blerg-worthy episodes from executive producer Lorne Michaels.
Season 6
Primetime Emmy®, SAG®, Peabody® and Golden Globe® Award-winning comedy 30 Rock returns for more Korean dictators, mantra stealing, erotic normaling and plant children in its outrageous sixth season. Primetime Emmy® Award winner Tina Fey is back as Liz Lemon, the struggling TGS writer who seems to have found a new groove along with M&M pancake-filled domestic bliss. But with GE executive Jack Donaghy (Primetime Emmy® Award, Golden Globe®, and SAG® Award winner Alec Baldwin) scheming his way through KableTown, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) finding his voice as an idiot, Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) taking her love life to new levels of extreme and NBC Page Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer) being, well, Kenneth, will the chaos be too much for this new and improved Liz to handle?
Go to there all over again with the complete seventh and final season of the Primetime Emmy®, SAG®, Peabody®, and Golden Globe Award®-winning comedy, 30 Rock, hailed by The Washington Post as the equivalent of a whole platter of night cheese, and praised by bloggers and snail writers with all different parts of speech like "lines", "emotional", "laughing", "jokes-per-minute", "Lutz" and "self-cancelled." Primetime Emmy®, SAG®, and Golden Globe® Award winners, Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, are back one more time as weird buddies/work spouses, Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy. As Jack schemes to take control of KableTown or sink the whole company trying, Liz strives to balance her uncharacteristically blissful personal life with the constant chaos of her career. Even with Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer), life-long NBC devotee, temporary janitor, and immortal creature not of this earth, around to tend to TGS lovable misfit stars, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) and Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski), 30 Rock mayhem ensues with a season full of network tanking, election meddling, upward spiraling, funeral weddings, Florida, reverse health scares, sacrificial bunions, symphonic Sanford and Son arrangements, last lunches and boat modeling.
The fun times continue with exclusive bonus features in addition to all thirteen episodes of the acclaimed seventh season of 30 Rock from executive producer Lorne Michaels (The Tracy Morgan Show).
Starring: Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jack McBrayer, Jane Krakowski

Calorie Control Weight Management Formulawith CoffeeGenic® Green Coffee Extract
420 grams (14.82 oz.)
Item Catalog Number: 01693
In response to mounting evidence that age-associated fat accumulation results from the loss of metabolic capacity to utilize ingested calories, this natural blueberry-flavored powdered drink mix has been formulated with these five key ingredients … each individually shown to promote weight loss:
LuraLean® (propolmannan) – a proprietary fiber that swells in the stomach after ingestion with water to help reduce calorie consumption. It binds to bile acids in the small intestine and helps transport them out of the body.48 These bile acids otherwise facilitate the digestion and assimilation of dietary fat into the bloodstream. LuraLean® propolmannan also slows the rapid emptying of ingested food into the small intestine, reducing the surge of glucose entering the bloodstream. And LuraLean® works better than other fibers because its enzymes have been removed, sparing it from degradation in the digestive tract.49-54 This enables LuraLean® to form a stable viscous barrier to help impede calorie absorption and maintain its sponge-like activity throughout the digestive tract. In placebo-controlled studies, LuraLean® (propolmannan) induced moderate weight loss of up to 7.92 pounds on average in 8 weeks along with significant reductions in fasting lipid and post-meal glucose/insulin levels.55,56
White Kidney Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) – inhibits amylase, the digestive enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates to be absorbed into the bloodstream as glucose. Phaseolus vulgaris has produced weight loss of 6.5 pounds on average in 30 days and abdominal fat reductions.57-59
Irvingia gabonensis (African mango extract) – has amylase digestive enzyme inhibiting properties.60 Irvingia also favorably regulates leptin to decrease appetite and facilitate triglyceride removal from adipocytes (fat cells). It also regulates adiponectin to facilitate insulin sensitivity,47 and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to inhibit glucose from converting to triglyceride fat in adipocytes.61 Irvingia has demonstrated weight loss of 20 pounds on average in 10 weeks in placebo-controlled trials.47
Green Tea Phytosome – boosts resting metabolic rate62 and helps impede the lipase enzyme used to facilitate dietary fat breakdown. This proprietary green tea phytosome has been shown to absorb much better into the bloodstream than conventional green tea. It induced 30.1 pounds of weight loss on average in 90 days when combined with a reduced calorie diet.63
CoffeeGenic® Green Coffee Extract – delivers high potency chlorogenic acid to inhibit excess activity of the enzyme that triggers glucose formation from non-carbs (fat, protein) and glycogen release from the liver.30,31,64 Chlorogenic acid also targets the enzyme that breaks apart complex sugars and enhances their absorption into the bloodstream32 … and increases the signal protein for insulin receptors in liver cells.29 All to help inhibit after-meal glucose surges.
This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.

I try and use this twice a day, but it's easy to forget to take it 30 minutes before a meal.The pills/capsules make more sense to me-just easier to take quickly before a meal. I really haven't noticed any weight change, though I don't truly diet, but do exercise at the gym and lead a fairly active lifestyle. I do feel the fiber in this product may help make you feel full and probably not eat as much as you might without taking it. I do purchase it when LE has their great sales and have my husband taking it, too, when I remember.

Found that bottles were short of stated amount. I used level scoops and found all of my bottles short of product. Was only able to get at the most 40 scoops from one jar. I found this in all of my jars. Unsatisfactory. I used same product last year and the jars contained the stated amount.

Comments about Life Extension Calorie Control Weight Management Formula with CoffeeGenic®, 420 grams (14.82 oz.):
I believe this product worked for me. When it was in individual packets, it was easy and convenient to use. I kept a couple with me for eating out. Now it is messy in the big package and impossible to carry into a restaurant. I will not be reordering if it is only sold in bulk.

By Juliehjhall

I take this product right before my biggest meal of the day. I really try to limit refined carbs, but there are occassions when I go off my diet. I have not noticed that it helps to make me feel full, but it is very good at keeping your post-meal blood sugars down. I have experimented with white bean extract only and this product. This product won hands down! I would definitely recommend it for diabetics or anyone who understands the dangers of elevated blood sugars after eating.

Holly's hobby - counting Ks
Thu. February 21, 2013 at 10:05 p.m. | By Andy Marks

CANDLER — Holly McKinnon has collected a whole bunch of strikeouts over the course of her star-studded prep softball career at North Marion High School, but she doesn't spend much time thinking about those.
She does, however, think about the one strikeout she didn't get last year as a junior, when she finished the season just a single K shy of what would've been an eyebrow-raising milestone for a high school pitcher.
"This year I'm just trying to do better than last year, so I set my goal to go over 300 strikeouts," McKinnon said. "That's what I'm working for, because last year I was stuck at 299."
McKinnon added 11 more punchouts to her 2013 total Thursday night at Lake Weir High School, where she no-hit the host Hurricanes in the Colts' 12-0, six-inning win.
"It's just phenomenal to watch her do what she does night in and night out," North Marion coach Rob Blackmer said. "She's really determined."
McKinnon (5-0, 0.00 ERA) posted her fifth shutout of the season and second straight no-hitter — coming on the heels of Tuesday's perfect game against Palatka. The South Alabama signee has now fired 32 consecutive shutout innings to start her senior season, including 17 straight no-hit innings spanning back to Saturday's win at Jacksonville Trinity Christian. Her 11 strikeouts Thursday gave her 53 for the year.
"All my pitches were working (well) tonight," McKinnon said. "I'm just working on throwing hard and being ready for our next district game."
That will take place Friday night at home against Eastside (0-4), a team McKinnon shut out twice — and no-hit once — last year.
McKinnon also belted a three-run home run Thursday — her first of the season — as the Colts collected 10 total hits against Lake Weir. She finished 2-for-4 with four RBIs, while Brooke Sapp (2-for-4, double, RBI), Erin Klein (2-for-4, run) and Kayla Taylor (double, RBI) also chipped in offensively.
Lake Weir competed with the Colts in the early going but were ultimately undone by errors. North Marion's first seven runs off of Irene Medina were all unearned, as the Hurricanes committed five errors through the first five innings.
Then the Colts' bats heated up with nine total hits over the final two frames to end the game early via the 10-run rule.
The 'Canes (2-5) will try to rebound when they resume their district schedule Tuesday at home against South Lake, a team that was 0-4 entering Thursday night's game against Leesburg.

Flutist Sonora Slocum continues family tradition of making music
When Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra principal flutist Sonora Slocum takes the stage with the MSO, releases a downloadable EP recording as she did this summer, or appears on the Frankly Music series, as she will in late September, she brings a wealth of family history with her.

Dennis Pearson's final 'Beasties' have arrived
The fanciful, amorphous, make-believe animals known as the "Beasties" were invented by artist and Wisconsin native Dennis Pearson. Many will remember them from the fund-raisers for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra years ago called the "Beastie Beat," which placed artist-decorated Beasties on Milwaukee streets.
Like the Cows-on-Parade public art projects and their many spin-offs across the country, the public display of Beasties was a fun, whimsical project. The here-today, gone-tomorrow surprise effect was part of what made that work, of course. And yet the parade has marched on and on and on. »Read Full Article
Source: BET suspends producer after Blue Ivy joke
NEW YORK (AP) - BET has suspended a producer after a joke about Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter that aired Monday on the network's music video countdown show, "106 & Park."
A source at the network, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not allowed to discuss the matter publicly, said the producer was suspended after a remark about 2-year-old Blue Ivy's hair. »Read Full Article
Hating and loving Mark di Suvero's 'The Calling'
Special note from Mary Louise: Whenever there is a discussion about public art in Milwaukee, it often begins and ends with bellyaching over Mark di Suvero's "The Calling." Like passing "GO" and collecting $200, it is the most predictable part of the cycle, a true blue Milwaukee pastime right up there with remarking on the weather or one of our teams. When artist, writer and curator Shane McAdams, a transplant to our area from the heart of the art world, the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, told me about his own conflicting points of view about the piece, I asked him to elaborate. Here is a point of view from a relative newcomer.
Outdoor public sculpture has a history of inspiring a wider degree of controversy than more portable work designated to live out its days within the sanctuary of an art institution. The reasons for this are myriad: public sculpture is by its very nature highly visible; it often comes with a significant and known price tag; its role is often ambiguous; and the constraints of site specificity have tended to privilege a pre-ordained selection of art world regulars, traditionally male, macho and white. »Read Full Article(15)

Pierce Brosnan returns to spy game in unsuspenseful 'November Man'
For someone who once played James Bond, you'd think Pierce Brosnan would have better instincts when choosing another spy thriller.

On Tap Today: Desert Noises at Marcus Center's Peck Pavilion
Another oudoor concert season at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts' Peck Pavilion is coming to an end. But arguably, the best show has been saved for last.

Kari, Canada, 15-year-old Girl Guide: "I have started an environment committee at my high school, where we help in the awareness of our planet's health. The flag I have created represents Mother Nature reaching out a helping hand,the unity of people, animals and the environment and how we are all friends, here to support each other. The shimmering moonlight pours onto the picture to symbolize hope, peace and global community. Only together can we maintain the treasures of the Arctic."
