Achieving an in-depth understanding of the many interrelated and complex issues associated with sustainability and CSR requires an exploration into the entire value chain and the stakeholders who affect or are affected throughout the chain. Students will explore the value chain from origins through final product and the stakeholders involved. This includes exploration regarding the important interaction between multinational corporations, local producers and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) to promote sustainability. This course will also examine the challenges regarding how corporations effectively communicate sustainability in an authentic and meaningful way (through sustainability certifications and reporting) and engage with upstream suppliers to embed sustainability as a joint objective.

Top Teachers: Lance Teillon
Varina H.S., NJROTC
When Lance Teillon considered his next step post-retirement following 20 years in the U.S. Navy, he didn't have to look far for ideas. His wife's occupation – English teacher – provided ample inspiration. "It seemed like a worthwhile and fulfilling second career," he recalled.
Eighteen years later, it's safe to say he made the right call.
"I have a constant flow of cadets who have graduated come back to talk to me," said Teillon, the senior naval science instructor for the Varina High School NJROTC. "I give them a chance to talk to the present cadets – and when they tell them to listen to me, because I do know what I'm talking about, it is satisfying."
Another gratifying aspect of the job is seeing cadets wear their uniforms with pride, he said, "knowing that the uniform is the same as our sailors who are serving this country." Teillon also enjoys observing cadets as they "try harder at something than they have ever tried at anything in their lives."
Often, that effort involves practicing for the competition drill team, which requires cadets to come to school almost two hours early every day to practice.
"There is no other sport or club that requires that level of dedication," said Teillon, noting that the hard work has resulted in a number of trophies, including one for a fifth-place finish among 62 schools in a four-state area.
The job is not without its challenges, of course. Although he was a classroom teacher in the Navy for five years, his students then existed in an altogether different culture from high school students of today. After all these years, he confesses he is still taken aback by aspects of that culture – in particular, the lack of respect.
"I have reminded my students on more than one occasion that this school doesn't teach rudeness; it is brought from home," he said.
"I try very hard to make the kids understand how lucky they are to be given the education they are receiving. I tell the cadets that I feel my job is to get them ready to survive in this world after graduation, and if they can stand on their own two feet in this very difficult world, I feel I've done my job.
"It is frustrating when I cannot get through to some, and very satisfying when I can."
Clearly, he has "gotten through" to countless numbers of students, who praise his skill at developing their potential and his insistence on accepting nothing less than their best efforts.
"He teaches more than just naval science," wrote one student. "He teaches us ethics and general knowledge above and beyond what is entailed in his job description.
"He treats us as young adults."
Asked to relate a highlight of the feedback he has had from students and their families, Teillon said, "When you have a parent come into your room after their child has graduated, and with tears in their eyes tell you that they don't know what their child would have done without you -- or that you were their child's mentor."
Now, that's "worthwhile."

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

All area clergy are invited to attend a quarterly breakfast meeting at BroMenn. The purpose of these gatherings is to foster relationships in order to promote faith, healing and wholeness in our mutual communities. The meetings also provide clergy with a space and time to meet with other colleagues as well as an opportunity for continuing education offerings in the area of faith and health. Clergy are offered HIPAA training which enables them to receive a BroMenn badge for use in visiting their hospitalized church members.
The Parish Nurse is valuable in promoting health in congregations. Parish nursing is a health promotion, disease prevention ministry based on the care of the whole person - body, mind and spirit. BroMenn and the Advocate BroMenn Delegate Church Association (ABDCA) seek to provide support to Parish Nurses via quarterly networking and educational meetings, as well as annual recognition within the nursing and church communities with the Annual Parish Nurse Appreciation Breakfast. For more information on Parish Nursing, e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or visitt the International Parish Nurse Resource Center at http://www.ipnrc.parishnurses.org/
BroMenn and the BMA launched its first Faith and Health Conference in 2004 as a vehicle to provide nationally known speakers for staff, delegate churches, and the community. The event, held in October, is in conjunction with Pastoral Care Month. Our speaker for 2004 was Dr. Martin E. Marty, renowned church historian, interpreter of religion, and an authority in issues of religion and medicine. The Rev. Dr. Gary Gunderson, Vice-President of Methodist Health Care, Memphis and Director of the Interfaith Health Network at Emory University was the 2005 guest lecturer. In 2006, the Rev. Carrie Doehring, Ph.D., from the Iliff School of Theology, Denver, was guest speaker for several events. For information on the next event, contact Rev. Chereé Johnson, coordinator for Church Relations.

Home networks given new options at CES
Your IPTV needs an internet connection. But your living room is too far from your router to run an Ethernet cable, so what do you do? Or perhaps you have an office in the basement and need to transmit large files to the desktop down there, but the Wi-Fi keeps cutting out due to interference. Several companies demonstrated at CES various different answers to such dilemmas, but with a common theme: it was that no room in your house should be left unconnected.
WiGig may change the face of Wi-Fi
There have been several fast wireless standards competing for attention over the past few years but WiGig may just have the best chance of cracking the market.

If you want a thrill, this is it. This is the smallest tower anywhere. One follows nail heads for about 65' up the edge of a steep ridge to the base of the 15' "skinny" tower. A couple of aid moves to reach the summit block (3'X 18"). On the first ascent as Ross stood up on the summit, the whole spire started to sway from its base.... A very quick but careful descent then took place!! Hurry if you want a second ascent. It is advisable not to clip ones rope into any of the nails/piton on the actual tower section as it may cut loose with you on it.

Locker shows huge upside, rookie mistakes

Locker was sacked seven times - he tripped over his own feet on one - in Sunday's 55-7 loss at Green Bay.||||||| Locker finished 13 of 30 for 140 yards and a meaningless TD in the closing minutes. He is not a quality starting fantasy option.

Locker practiced Wednesday for the first time since dislocating his left, non-throwing shoulder and coach Mike Munchak says the Titans' quarterback is on target to return when Tennessee hosts the Colts on Oct. 28.||||||| Locker loosened up Wednesday by throwing a few short balls before working in individual drills. He also threw during 7-on-7 for the defense for his first practice since dislocating his left shoulder Sept. 30 for the second time in four games. Veteran Matt Hasselbeck will start Sunday in Buffalo for the Titans.
Locker is set to start for the Tennessee Titans on Sunday against Miami in his first game in more than a month.||||||| Coach Mike Munchak said Friday that Locker looks good and is ready to go unless something comes up between now and kickoff Sunday in Miami. The coach says Locker moved around and reacted well. Locker separated his left, non-throwing shoulder for the second time in four games on Sept. 30 against Houston. The second-year quarterback was cleared for contact earlier in the week. .

Local man charged with terrorizing Gering family
A Gering man who threatened to kill his former girlfriend and her family in a disturbance that involved a fight and the wielding of a knife has been charged with two counts of felony terroristic threats.
Court documents say 23 year old Alejandro Gauna is accused of threatening his estranged girlfriend last Tuesday when he came home after visiting his one year old son at a neighbor's house. Police said Gauna told the woman he was going to take his son and forcibly kept her from leaving the house while wielding a knife and threatening to kill himself.
Police say after the victim was able to get out the back door, Gauna got into a fight with her father, threw rocks at her car and repeatedly said he was going to kill the family.
auna is being held on $50,000 bond with a ten percent cash provision.

A security guard who became an online star after Tasing customers he deemed out of control is losing his job. Darien Long, a security guard at the Metro Mall in downtown Atlanta, became known worldwide after videos of him Tasing people he deemed out of control went viral on the internet. Long said that he was given a pink slip by his employers for financial reasons."They lost three vendors. They can no longer afford to pay me. So that's why they're letting me go," Long said. Some have questioned whether Long's uncompromising style of law enforcement is the reason for his dismissal. "This environment made me very, very aggressive. But when you need someone to handle a situation so you don't have to call the police, then you want somebody there that's going to be willing to handle it," Long said. Long said that while he has received supporter from all over the world, he does have critics. James Crooks said that he thinks Long's style is over the top."If you take a visual look at it, it appears that he is the only one causing the problem," Crooks said.Others at the Metro Mall praised Long."I think his style is excellent. I've seen him on YouTube and World Star Hip Hop. Somebody needs to clean up around here, I guess," said one man.Long said that he is unsure of his future.

alternative to translatable
16 November 2011 at 1:39am Last edited: 16 November 2011 1:39am
I wanted to share with everyone something I've created to be an alternative to the Translatable paradigm. It's one thing that bugs me with silverstripe, I don't like to have duplicated entries in my database or instead of translatable, using fields like myfield_en, myfield_fr is not very flexible. So, I got the idea to work on a dataobjectdecorator that is going to allow to make some fields localizable, while keeping only one "master" record. To achieve this, I simply create a table to store the localized fields called mytable_locale and use one row with the parentid and the locale + the localized fields.
The thing I like with this, is that I only make one query to get my translated dataobject every time (because i simply do a left join to get my localized fields), that I can rely on one single id as the reference, without having to go through a translationgroup table. As an extra bonus, it is super simple to edit in the admin because I don't need to have a special modeladmin or switch language or anything like that. I just create a tabset, with one tab for each locale, with the translated fields. Super easy.
It's still a bit rough right now and could surely be improved, but you can see a working example
To use it, simply :
Object::add_extension('MyDataObject', 'Localizable');
Declare this property on the dataobject :
public static $localizableFields = array(
'name' => 'type'
And if you want to access transparently to your localized field, simply overload the __get method (haven't found a way to do this in the dataobject decorator)
function __get($fieldName) {
if($this->hasLocalization($fieldName) && Localizable::$automaticLocalization) {
return $this->localize($fieldName);
return parent::__get($fieldName);
What do you think of this approach ? any comments, suggestions?

Hi there
Interesting Just to make sure I get this right from the start: do you intend this to be used instead of Translatable, or in combination with it?

I like it... it reminds me of what I did (here http://www.silverstripe.org/data-model-questions/show/8397?start=8) in order to over come adding full translation (adding translatable to teh full dataobject) because the price and setup of a product doesn't change - just the name and description.
So, again I like it alot and my use the approach int he near future!
Re: alternative to translatable
16 November 2011 at 10:07pm
@martimiz : As swaiba mentionned, in some cases, I believe it makes more sense to be able to translate only a few fields. But for pages, the translatable approach might make more sense if you have some content that is not the same depending on the language. So I guess you could do both : only use my approach, or mix it. In the website I'm developing currently, I'm mixing both approaches : translatable for pages, localizable for dataobjects that need it.
@swaiba : yes I think it's a very similar approach, but instead of having two dataobjects, I made it work as a decorator.

which is why I may be using it very soon ;-)
thank you for sharing!

I get it - mixing the two would work for me, I suppose. I'm going to try out your solution as soon as I find a moment - I'm really curious... Thanks
[EDIT] (Something popping up) When mixing Translatable and your decorator - you'd still need a way to synchronise relations for your translated page, wouldn't you?
Re: alternative to translatable
16 November 2011 at 11:44pm
Indeed, if you use translatable, since you are going to have different pages, you will need to attach your dataobjects once for each language.
But maybe you could simply override the getter method for your relation to get directly the dataobjects from your main language or something like that.
Re: alternative to translatable
17 November 2011 at 12:33am
Yes I suppose you could...
But that would mean if you wanted to make an existing site translatable, just decorating the DataObjects involved wouldn't be enough. You'd still have to add new getters to all classes that use them...
A bit of a challenge to think of a way in which the Decorator could play it's roll in this as well?

Diet Tips That Actually Work
Support, accountability and consistency are key
Whether you want to lose five pounds or 50, dieting is not an easy task. The only thing that is easy is getting distracted by fads and quick-fix gimmicks. The surest path to success is focusing on tried-and-true techniques used by those who have successfully maintained substantial weight loss.
One source for such techniques is the National Weight Control Registry (www.nwcr.ws/default.htm). The registry tracks 10,000 people who maintain a substantial weight loss. To qualify, you must have sustained a weight loss of at least 30 pounds for one year or more. The registry's website includes research studies explaining how registry members keep the weight off. Participants featured in the site's "success stories" share their tips, which emphasize accountability, support systems and consistency.
Track food intake
Most of the registry's success stories reference food logs or other records. Tracking food intake can be an eye-opening experience. Registry member Drew relates in his story that once he started tracking his food he realized he was eating 4,000 to 5,000 calories a day — a contributing factor to his high weight of 325 pounds.
Track your food the old-fashioned way with pen and paper, or establish a free account at a website like www.sparkpeople.com or www.myfitnesspal.com. (Both have smartphone apps for tracking on the go.)
Develop a support system
The success stories emphasize the importance of a support system. One participant even met his wife in a weight loss support group. Surrounding yourself with people who are also making healthy choices and respect your new lifestyle is important. Otherwise, you'll succumb to temptation and sabotage your progress.
In addition to support from family and friends, you can find weight-loss buddies online. Both www.sparkpeople.com and www.myfitnesspal.com have busy message boards where dieters commiserate and celebrate together.
Set a fitness goal
Each of the National Weight Control Registry success stories mentions exercise. You simply can't lose weight without burning calories through physical activity. One way to make exercise more palatable is to set a fitness goal that isn't tied to the scale. Instead, aim to complete your first 5k or a sprint triathlon.
Once again, the Internet is a boon. The Couch to 5K program at www.coolrunning.com takes the guesswork out of creating a training plan — and once again, there are smartphone apps that will tell you exactly when to run and when to walk while you're training.
Prepare your own food
More and more restaurants are publishing nutrition information these days, but if you want to truly be confident of your caloric intake, you need to prepare most of your own food. Success story Gary, who has maintained a 75-pound weight loss for more than eight years, says that he avoids fast food and cooks most of his own meals himself using as many organic ingredients as possible.
When it comes to weight loss, there's no easy answer, but hard work and consistency will make it happen.

Recently Published - Early Maine Wildlife
Early Maine Wildlife: Historical Accounts of Canada Lynx, Moose,
Mountain Lion, White-tailed Deer, Wolverine, Wolves, and
Woodland Caribou, 1603 – 1930
by William B. Krohn and Christopher L. Hoving
The Northeast, especially Maine, has an exceptionally rich heritage of early literature about wildlife. These writings are buried in obscure scientific books and journals, government documents, rare books, old newspapers, and discontinued sporting periodicals. The primary section of this book is a chronologically-arranged compilation of selected quotations from these hard-to-find sources, thus making accessible significant wildlife writings of early biologists, naturalists, and woodsmen from northern New England and eastern Canada.
While designed to be a reference-work for biologists, conservationists, folklorists, and historians, this book will also be of use to campers, hunters, trappers, and others interested in the region's natural history. Early Maine Wildlife features early writings about the Canada lynx, moose, mountain lion, white-tailed deer, wolverine, wolves, and woodland caribou. To put the historical information about these species into a contemporary context, life history summaries of these animals are presented. These brief life histories are supported with recent technical bibliographic references for those wanting more detailed scientific information.
Although Early Maine Wildlife does not provide a thorough analysis of historical information, the book functions as a unique guide to help readers find important early records relating to the biology, distribution, and conservation of four predators and three ungulates. In addition to providing extensive quotations documenting the occurrence and status of each of the featured species, Early Maine Wildlife discusses the pros and cons of using early written records.
Published information is only as reliable as the competency of the observer and reporter. Thus, biographical sketches are included, portraying the twenty-one authors whose writings are most frequently quoted. Short histories of the six sporting journals and newspapers most frequently cited in the book—along with their availability in public libraries—are also discussed.
533 pages, 7 x 10, with 50 illustrations
Hardcover; 2010; ISBN: 0-89101-119-6 / 978-0-89101-119-4; $39.95
Click here to order this book from our online store.
William B. Krohn is a wildlife research biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. He is stationed at the University of Maine where he is the long-time leader of the Maine Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit.
Christopher L. Hoving was both a graduate student and a research associate in the Department of Wildlife Ecology, University of Maine, Orono, when he worked on this book. Hoving is currently the Endangered Species Coordinator for the Wildlife Division, Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Krohn and Hoving continue to study historical patterns in the abundances and distributions of wildlife species, and are especially interested in the processes that have, and are, affecting the broad-scale distribution of wildlife populations.

Radnor, Pa. - May 8, 2013 - The Springfield College men's lacrosse team trailed by just one after 15 minutes of play, but was ultimately defeated by Cabrini, 20-8, in the opening round of the NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship on Wednesday.
Springfield, which was making its sixth-straight trip to the NCAA Championship, ends its season with a 10-8 record. The Cavaliers, who entered the game ranked fifth in this week's USILA National Poll, are now 15-3.
Brendan Boss led the Pride with three goals, while junior Kevin Freeman tallied three assists. Bryce Serriello netted two strikes, and Ryon Lynch produced a goal and an assist. Junior goaltenders Connor Nash and Robert Maher combined for 19 saves as they faced 60 shots in the contest.
Corey Elmer paced the Cavaliers with his seventh eight point game of the season, pairing four goals and four assists. Senior Bobby Thorp and sophomore Mike Leyden added five points each on seven goals and three helpers. Thorp posted three goals, while Leyden tallied four goals.
The Cavaliers took control of the game early, recording three goals in a one minute span in the game's opening minutes. Leyden opened the scoring before Elmer and Thorp found the net. Junior Matt Biegel added a man-up goal at 9:35, giving Cabrini a 4-0 lead. Following Springfield's first goal of the game from Boss, sophomore Anthony DiSanzo tallied the first of his three on the game.
The Pride grabbed the game's momentum late in the period, cutting the Blue and White advantage to 5-4 after 15 minutes. Ryan Murphy and Sean Doolay scored 14 seconds apart before Serriello ripped home a marker with 16 seconds left to make it a one-goal game.
It didn't take Cabrini long to regain control of the game as junior defenseman Bill McCabe scored his first goal of the season 75 seconds into the quarter to kickstart a 7-0 burst by the hosts. Leyden tallied his second of the game with just under nine minutes to play. DiSanzo's second came just 80 seconds later, extending the lead to 5-4.
With 5:12 left before the half, sophomore Ethan Heisman scored the first of his two goals. Heisman recorded his second assist of the quarter at the 2:09 mark, finding Thorp for the senior's 42nd goal of the season. Elmer completed the period with two goals in the final two minutes, including one with just three seconds remaining, sending the teams into the break with Cabrini leading 12-4.
The Cavaliers' maintained their eight goal through the third quarter as the clubs exchanged goals. Serriello and Boss netted goals, while Heisman and Leyden found the net for Cabrini.
The Blue and White sealed the game away in the opening five minutes of the fourth quarter as DiSanzo completed his hat trick one minute into the final quarter and Elmer posted his 55th goal of the season 76 seconds later.
After the ensuing faceoff, senior Andrew Kvech found sophomore Damian Sobieski streaking to the goal for his 25th of the season just 13 seconds after Elmer's goal. Senior Andrew Protenic netted an unassisted tally at 11:40, 59 seconds before Thorp completed his hat trick. Leyden closed Cabrini's scoring with 5:50 to play off an pass from rookie Evan Allvord.
The Blue and White outshot Springfield 60-28 and scooped 55 ground balls to the Pride's 38. Kvech and sophomore Anthony DiNenno combined for 16 ground balls, while Kvech also matched a career high with five caused turnovers, while DiSanzo and junior JoJo Cooper caused two each. Freshman Chris Treat scored his first NCAA Tournament win with eight saves.

An East Texas man was sentenced to 10 years in prison Thursday following a June accident that left one person seriously injured.
According to Smith County records, 25-year-old Lawrence Woodham was sentenced to 10 years after pleading guilty to charges of intoxication assault with a vehicle.
On June 13th, Woodham crashed his truck into a car driven by Casey Patterson at the intersection of Troup Highway and S. Loop 323 in Tyler. Patterson was transported to the hospital in critical condition, but was later treated and released. Woodham suffered minor injuries.
Upon further investigation, officials determined that Patterson was making a legal left turn when the accident happened, and that a large Smirnoff bottle was removed from Woodham's truck.

Attorney Fees
Lawyer Replaced by Client Can't Collect Full Contingency on $1M Settlement, Court Rules
Posted Jan 11, 2013 9:34 AM CDT
By Molly McDonough
A state appeals court in New York ruled Thursday that a lawyer whose client replaced him in a personal injury case cannot collect his full contingency fee.
Adwoa Gyabaah, who was injured by a bus in 2010, obtained a $1 million personal injury settlement, but not before switching lawyers, Reuters reports.
New York's Appellate Division, First Department, ruled in an unsigned opinion that the settlement wasn't yet final when lawyer Jeffrey Aronsky handled the case because the settlement offer hadn't been formally communicated to the defendant, Rivlab Transportation. However, the court held that Aronsky will be allowed to place a lien on Gyabaah's recovery and receive a pro rata fee based on his contributed work, Reuters reports.
Reuters notes that in a dissent, Justice Richard Andrias considered the settlement binding because a general release was signed and defense counsel confirmed in writing that the $1 million settlement offer was accepted.

Enhancing its presentation arsenal Scharff Weisberg has wrapped up a deal with German-based G-LEC to be the exclusive U.S. rental agent for G-LEC ClassicFrame™, an exciting new transparent LED "graphics display curtain." The company will rent the technology as a unique effects device for rock concerts, Broadway theater, television and large-scale corporate events.
"We see this as part of a new breed of products in our industry, combining lighting with video and stage design," commented Scharff Weisberg Partner, Peter Scharff. "There are a myriad of creative applications for G-LEC ClassicFrame™ and once we get it into the hands of show designers, it's going to open up many new creative possibilities."
The G-LEC ClassicFrame™ is a modular LED graphics display for indoor and outdoor use that can be used to create vibrant, dynamic visuals of enormous size. Its unique features are its transparency and extreme lightweight, but what is immediately noticeable are the rich coloring and very fast and smoothly graceful graphic display. Totally unlike a video wall, the ClassicFrame ultrabright pixels are 2 inches apart, allowing not only visual transparency, but also audio and wind transparency. Physically, the ClassicFrame consists of two or more aluminum frames, each with 30 acrylic tubes featuring 16 ultrabright RGB LED pixels. The frames can be mounted together in any configuration. Systems can be designed to be very large, well over 1000 square feet, and can also be configured to be split and moved apart, even while performing their graphics display. The ClassicFrame shows still and animated content stored on a graphics server, which are triggered by any suitable DMX controller, as well as live or recorded video.
"The transparency of the ClassicFrame allows actors and objects behind the display to be invisible when not lit; it also allows backlighting of performers through the display," observed G-LEC's Director of International Business Development, Peter Ed. "The system is often used to hide orchestras and bands and to provide brilliant and dynamic graphics to conceal unsightly speaker stacks."
One of many particular applications that suit the ClassicFrame is awards ceremonies. "Separate segments of the ClassicFrame can be mounted on stage trucks and flown, providing constantly changing scenery. The great color rendering and smooth animation are great dance routine backdrops, while still able to quickly and effortlessly move into different constellations for presentations, films, orchestras and theatrical scenes. A great dynamic tool," added Managing Director of G-LEC, Lars Wolf.
Scharff Weisberg will take delivery of the system in late July and will be the only resource in the U.S. for rental of the G-LEC ClassicFrame. Scharff Weisberg, which has a staging, lighting and media resource company, is uniquely qualified to take full advantage of the new system. "Our video staging department is expert in video, display and playback technology. Our lighting department is well-versed in lighting elements and consoles. And the Scharff Weisberg Media Resource Center can configure media to the specific requirements of any design," noted Scharff.
Scharff Weisberg Pro Audio and Staging specializes in video projection, image magnification, show control, computer data display and wireless sound technology.

White is a walking, breathing legend of snowboarding. Born in San Diego, California on September 3, 1986, Shaun White went on to create an almost impossible streak for someone who loves boarding – be it on the snow or the cement. A two time Winter Olympic Gold medalist, Shaun White doesn't just snowboard - he also skates board. He has outdone himself straddling both board sports with style and dominance. He's added a few more achievements to his name by helping to create designs for Oakley and has his own line with Burton. As well as countless snowboarding magazine covers, he's also featured twice on the front of Rolling Stone magazine. At the tender age of nine, he figured out that he had passion for both snowboarding and skateboarding. He befriended Tony Hawk in 1995, and this friendship was able to lift him from struggling snowboarder to pro. He has gone on to do what he does best – win skateboarding and snowboarding events relentlessly. He is the first to compete and win gold medals in the Summer and Winter X Games and in 2012 in Aspen he walked away with the SuperPipe title after laying down a perfect 100.00 score. The numerous records under Shaun White's name are unlikely to ever be matched. He's one of the few action sports stars to break out of the sport itself and receive worldwide mainstream coverage for himself and the competitions he's dominated.

There are four Esperanzas being referred to on this page. The first is La Esperanza (the name is Spanish for "the hope") Mixing flamenco-styled guitars with contemporary dance rhythms, La Esperanza was led by songwriter, producer and session ace Carlos Villaloba, who assembled guitarist Andre Barboza, keyboardist Randy Wheeler and drummer Danny Cruces to record the group's self-titled 1998 debut LP. Esperanza II appeared three years later.

They're still playing that nail-biter in Detroit, but that didn't stop the Nationals and Cardinals from starting their Division Series in St. Louis.
In the top of the first, Adam Wainwright had little trouble with the top of Washington's order, striking out both Jason Werth and Ryan Zimmerman. Wainwright retired Bryce Harper, too, but that won't stop us from trumpeting Harper's talents.
In nine days, Harper turns 20. While he did make the National League's All-Star team this summer, it's probably fair to suggest that Harper was overshadowed in baseball by Mike Trout's incredible season, and in D.C. and environs by the controversy surrounding Stephen Strasburg.
But here are the 19-year-old players in major-league history who finished with more Wins Above Replacement than Bryce Harper:
Yeah. There aren't any. According to Baseball-Reference.com, Harper's 5.0 WAR were tops all-time among 19-year-old players, well ahead of Mel Ott (1928), Edgar Renteria (1996), Ken Griffey (1989) and Ty Cobb (1906). So while Harper's not an MVP candidate like Trout, he already looks like a pretty good bet for the Hall of Fame.
Meanwhile, back in Game 1, Gio Gonzalez issued a two-out walk to Matt Holliday, but retired Allen Craig on a fly to center field to end the first inning. So we're still scoreless in St. Louis.

Stocks Finish Lower After Google's Earnings Leak
The weakest sectors in the broad market were technology, consumer non-cyclicals, and basic materials. Capital goods, consumer cyclicals, conglomerates were areas of strength.
Breadth was fairly even on the New York Stock Exchange while losers were ahead of winners on the Nasdaq by roughly a 2-to-1 ratio. Volume totaled 3.86 billion on the Big Board and 2.04 billion on the Nasdaq.
Thursday's data didn't provide much impetus to continue the rally stocks had enjoyed so far this week. Before the opening bell, the Labor Department said initial jobless claims for the week ended Oct. 13 rose by 46,000 to 388,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised figure of 342,000. The four-week moving average was 365,500, an increase from the prior week's 364,750.
Continuing claims for the week ended Oct. 6 fell 29,000 to 3.252 million from the preceding week's upwardly revised level of 3.281 million.On average, economists were expecting initial jobless claims of 365,000 and continuing claims of 3.275 million. "After all the confusion [between a high current reading and last week's barely revised low level of initial claims] the key four-week moving average now stands at 365,500 and we continue to believe that despite the higher than forecast reading the broad labor market is maintaining its forward momentum," said Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak. "Going forward and using the benchmark four-weekly average, we would say that initial claims will trend towards last week's lower number rather than this week's higher headline level." The Philly Fed's Business Outlook Survey registered a jump to 5.7 in October from -1.9 the prior month. Economists were expecting a rise to 1. Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, noted that while the headline index signaled some improvement in manufacturing, "the details remain quite weak," with orders slipping to -0.6 from 1, employment falling to -10.7 from -7.6, and the six-month outlook index falling to 21.6 from 41.2. "In short, while the headline index signals some improvement in manufacturing, the details remain quite weak. In interpreting the data, we expect manufacturing numbers to be weaker than other data now because of greater exposure to declining exports," said O'Sullivan. A small bright spot among the economic releases was the Conference Board's Leading Economic Indicators Index, which rose 0.6% in September after falling by a downwardly-revised decline of 0.4%. Economists were forecasting a rise of 0.2%. The FTSE 100 in London finished down 0.10% and the DAX in Germany was up 0.58% in trading Thursday. The Nikkei Average in Tokyo closed up by 2% and the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong gained 0.48% after data showing that China's third-quarter gross domestic product rose 7.4% from a year ago, which was as expected by economists surveyed by Reuters. Industrial production and retail sales data for September came in a bit above expectations. The in-line GDP figure was "firming up beliefs that the Chinese economy has stabilized," noted Stephen Guilfoyle, U.S. economist at Meridian Equity Partners.

FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
Not sure if this has been posted already. Ron Jaworski, who is known for his expert evaluation of NFL QBs, told 620WDAE that he thinks Mike Glennon is on the rise and that Tampa has 'no reason to draft a QB' in May. I'm am surprised by his comments -- Mike Glennon has yet to win a game in the NFL-- but considering Jaworski made a few brash predictions before September that ended up comming true, I wonder whether Jaws sees something special in Glennon that the rest of us don't.Then you must wonder, what if the Bucs see the same thing and decide to pass on a QB in the upcoming draft. Hypothetically speaking, what do you guys think Tampa should otherwise do with the top-pick?
Thanks, Ron. Don't call us; we'll call you.
He also said Freeman shouldn't have been benched.. Jaws needs to be drug tested.
I like Glennon. I think he makes some impressive throws. You can tell he knows whats going on out there. He's had only 4 starts and certainly shows promise. The truth is this. In order for us not to draft a QB with our first pick...It's up to him. He needs to win enough games to move us out of the Teddy and Mariotta range. Thats it. plain and simple. period. end of story.

Great buy for the money. Runs a little small however, I need to get back in shape!
The size runs small so I had to return the jacket. I am waiting to see if my money is refunded.
I really like the jacket but is there anyway you can indicate that the sizes run small when describing the items. The last couple of articles of clothing I ordered, I had ordered in X-Large and were lucky if they were a Large. I found out more about the actual size from the reviews.
Nice jacket, a little small for a Large.

Citrix Systems has started to detail the future of Windows desktops and applications in its virtual environments with tech previews of Excalibur and Merlin, the first versions of its Project Avalon.
Project Avalon, which Citrix announced in May, aims to transform any Windows application or desktop into a service that runs on either a private or public cloud and is delivered across any network, to any device.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Citrix lets users access PCs and Macs from Kindle Fire. | Doing thin client provisioning right is not so simple. InfoWorld's expert contributor shows you how to get it right in the "Thin Client Deep Dive" PDF guide. | Track the latest trends in virtualization in InfoWorld's Virtualization Report newsletter. ]
Excalibur and Merlin will make up the core of Project Avalon, Citrix announced on Wednesday at its Synergy user conference in Barcelona.
The Excalibur release of Project Avalon includes FlexCast 2.0 technology, and aims to address the challenges of managing Citrix environments.
For the first time, Windows administrators will have a common management console to configure any mix of virtual applications and desktops in a Citrix environment, and deliver them to end users with a delivery technology of their choice.
"We have unified the XenDesktop and XenApp in one common codebase," said Krishna Subramanian, vice president of marketing and business development at Citrix. "Even though customers will be able to buy them separately its all tightly integrated, and the management is also integrated and simplified so we can do cloud-scale automation next."
Getting the management right is incredibly important for Citrix, according to Nathan Hill, research director at Gartner.
"The complexity of managing Citrix environments has historically been a big challenge for organizations. As the diversity of what Citrix is trying to offer increases, they need to make sure the different delivery mechanisms are as simple as possible to manage ," said Hill.
Excalibur will also include an improved implementation of Citrix's HDX, which is made up of features that aim to enhance multimedia performance on virtual desktops. Upgraded versions of technologies such as HDX Broadcast, RealTime and MediaStream will help improve video playback, according to Citrix.
Using Excalibur, enterprises will be able to deploy Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows XP virtual desktops.
The Merlin release will focus on delivering Windows as a cloud service. The platform will run Citrix's own CloudPlatform and public clouds such as Amazon Web Services' EC2 and Microsoft's Azure, according to Citrix.
The move to the cloud also adds a layer of automation and orchestration when managing applications or desktops.
"The way we see it, IT [departments] have to do more with less, and we see that trend continuing. Merlin will make them far more efficient," Subramanian said.
The move to the cloud will give IT staff more flexibility. Enterprises will be able to simultaneously run a mix of different Windows versions on servers and clients, and different versions of XenApp and XenDesktop as well. This will, for example, simplify migrations, Citrix said.

Original post made by Concerned parent on Nov 7, 2006
I suggest that all PAUSD staff take the training on mandatory reporting of child abuse (online clases at: Web Link)
What actions will PAUSD take to assuage our outrage?
on Nov 7, 2006 at 7:28 pm
"Concern" is certainly appropriate, parent. But then, why are folks around here always shocked, amazed, outraged, seething...? Palo Alto is a bit full of itself, judging by some of the voices around here (on this and other issues). This kind of thing happens all too often, in all too many places. I'm not suggesting that we should be complacent about it, but all the shrill drama... please. As if we should somehow be insulated and separate from the rest of the world where bad people do bad things and normal people have lapses of judgment. That said, the crime certainly deserves punishment, and the potential failure to report deserves scrutiny and possibly punishment once the truth is known. And I'm sure the training you're asking for already happens. Training won't guarantee that people do what they're supposed to.
on Nov 8, 2006 at 9:19 am
According to today's weekly, Rick Ehrhorn, a teacher at Ohlone Elementary School, knew about Giordano's relationship with an underage minor. Yet Ehrhorn said and did nothing.
And this man is still teaching in our school system!!!!
on Nov 10, 2006 at 1:33 am
Ehrhorn is one teacher, and I don't know his story. I have heard what a great teacher he is. He's not an abuser-- isn't your wanting to have him fired a little harsh?
Believe it or not, Bill G. was a great teacher, too, for the vast majority of his students over his long career. As a colleague of his, I can attest to what a nice guy he was, a friend you could count on, someone with a wonderful sense of humor, and much liked by students and adults alike.
His crime was terrible, unforgivable, horrendous. But he sure didn't walk around drooling, or dropping hints, or openly doing anything. He was a normal, upright kind of guy, and his colleagues were deeply shocked by the revelation of his secret life.
So don't say "teachers and principals" knew-- you're painting us all with one brush, when you don't know the whole picture...
