@gunslingerpanda: Well according to wikipedia, the cover athlete this year is The Rock. You know, the guy that lost at Mania and we haven't seen since.
Mr. I'm never going away really guys Im here to stay! I don't know how people who watch WWE even if they aren't smarks like all of us can't be offended by the rock just randomly showing up when he wants after he makes stupid promises like that.
I don't understand why people still get upset over that comment. I don't know why anyone took it literally. He never meant he would be there every week. I honestly can't believe anyone ever expected him to. All that comment meant was that he wasn't going to ever turn his back on the fans or shy away from WWE like he had been in years prior. I would think that with everything The Rock has done in and out of the ring, he has earned the right to appear when he wants to. Does anyone get upset that Undertaker basically works the same schedule as The Rock?

- The New #2GsBDayPlaceDined on 11/22/2014Took my Japanese Wife here for her Birthday. Usually our number 1 spot would be a Japanese restaurant. She is a big Yankee (Jeter) fan. As I expected, she loved it!!! Not just the amazing photos on the walls , but the food and service was excellent! They made her feel extra special with a birthday wish as soon as we walked in. A special Happy Birthday menu, complimentary photo, drinks, and dessert. Drinks were not water down and steaks were cooked to perfection! Appetizers were awesome, side dishes were super delicious. Everyone knows that when the Yankees do something they go all out, here was no exception. It seemed that everyone associated with the restaurant knew it was her birthday and made her aware of it. Final, our waiter Sammy was most friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and just downright cool.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a great place!!MikeandKimDined on 11/21/2014My wife and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary at NYY steakhouse and had the most amazing time. Being a life long Yankee fan I was in awe from the minute we walked in. Our waiter Rodrigo De Jesus made every second we were there very special. The food and the whole staff are wonderful. Thank you for a night we will never forget.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Go YankeesthataboyDined on 11/20/2014Even when it comes to food 😋,the Yankees are Champions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!NC34Dined on 11/16/2014We went here for my dad's birthday, and he was so happy with everything. They personalize the menus for the birthday person, and even take pictures and print out copies. The steak bacon appetizer is a must try. The fried oysters were also very good. We all had either the filet mignon or the long bone ribeye entrees, as well as the garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Everything was excellent and perfectly cooked. For dessert, you have to get the volcano! We will definitely be coming back for my stepmom's birthday in the spring!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- You don't have to be a Yankee Fan - just enjoy!HacmanVIPDined on 11/16/2014Although the association with the NY Yankees is the major theme of this steakhouse, it stands on it's own. Both food and service were among the best my wife and I have ever experienced. Outstanding steaks and a reasonable and fairly extensive wine list. My wife had Short Ribs and she said they were the best she's ever had. My filet was as good as I've ever had. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A perfect restaurant for a Yankees fanLJGVVIPDined on 11/16/2014As two women in a sports themed steak house we were treated very nicely. The service was friendly and professional. The menu is a bit limited but they have specials. The steaks were well prepared and tender.I would recommend this to a friend.
- MUST GET YANKEE VOLCANO DESSERT!!!nycfoodloverDined on 11/15/2014It's the best dessert I've ever had in my life! Also, order strip steak and you'll get a fabulous surprise!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best steak ever!JoyLDined on 11/15/2014I took my husband (a Yankees fan) here for his birthday. He was in awe - both of the setting and the food. And typically he barely notices food. He spent the entire meal waxing poetic about how it was the best steak he ever had! We had dinner at an off time (5 p.m.) so the place was empty - our wonderful waiter Ray kindly gave us a tour of the place. Needless to say, it was the highlight of the day for my husband to see the contracts of Babe Ruth and Mickie Mantle framed inside a vault. Tip: if you order one of the desserts recommended for sharing, note that "sharing" must mean 6 people, not 2. We had a crazy awesome amount of dessert for just the two of us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingrowanDined on 11/12/2014The service from the server was good, the attention by management sorely lacking. After ordering my food it took 30 minutes for my steak to come out in a place that was not very busy. When the steak came out the plate was already cold and the steak was warm. It was not cooked to medium as ordered. The server did take it back to reheat/recook it a bit more and was returned correctly. During this entire time while I ate my steak, the three managers who were just standing in the bar area talking with each other didn't come over once to see how I was doing or to apologize for my food not being prepared adequately for the price paid. This is an expensive place and at the end of the day I was not satisfied with my experience.
- AmazingRbauxDined on 11/11/2014They have their own butcher! We ordered the long bone rib eye and they carve whatever you want on the bone and the taste is delish! Appetizer of thick cut bacon is to die for and garlic mashed potatoes as well. The Wildcard drink was not good or sweet like we asked but the $35 glass of ice wine from Canada was. Definitely a place to return to once my pockets recoverSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best dinner for 2 I've had in my life!JrExecutiveDined on 11/6/2014I made a 10pm reservation for 2 on a Thursday with my sapphire preferred card and arrived at 10:03 pm. To my surprise I was acknowledged by name although this was my first dining experience at this venue. I was offered an option of seating deciding on the dining table vs the bar and given the option to have some one take my suit jacket. The waiters attentiveness reminded me of excellent service you typically receive in France and at no point did we ever have to pour our own glass of wine or water. The Jr chef was polite enough to make sure the carving on my long bone steak came out correctly as the message was very sentimental to my significant other. In all we ordered the traditional long bone steak, onion rings, lobster and Mac, half dozen oysters (west coast), a shrimp appetizer, a salad and the NYY bottle of wine. I'm not a millionaire yet, but I now know what it feels like to dine as one. Thank you for a wonderful and romantic night NYY steaks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A notch down in servicePatrickVIPDined on 11/5/2014OK, I'll be honest. Love the food. Nice atmosphere. But frankly the service is starting to become a little overbearing. The bartender coming to my table, extending her hand and introducing herself? And asking my name? Then addressing me by first name (I'm nearly 70 by the way and she is probably 21). No less than five different people stopped at my table to ask how everything was. A bit much? I love that they keep the water glass filled, never leave you waiting, and all the rest. But honestly -- enough is enough. This isn't the first time I've eaten in a restaurant and it won't be my last -- I don't need to be treated as if I'm royalty dining at the Palace. Or do some actually thrive on that much attention?
- PleasedkimjotonytDined on 11/4/2014This place was fabulous! We were never treated with such flair. Found something on the menu for everyone. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent experience!BenjasdinnerDined on 11/2/2014We celebrated my husbands New York City Marathon Finish....and they made It an excellent dinner celebration in Family....great service......excellent dinner.....exquisit Wine recommendation....and overall excellent evening!Special Features:
- A nice experience for Yankee fans1ynkefanDined on 11/1/2014Nicely decorated, not over done. Food is delicious especially the bacon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great winesJMKtravelsalotVIPDined on 10/30/2014Picked the place based on the wine list, which contained some of my favorite higher end, highly rate Napa Wines at good prices. Decent service only slightly slow pace but the place was pretty busy. Food was really good. The beet salad was excellent. The sides were good and served 2-3 people easily. It's not touristy and is good for business dinner or date night if you are in NYC.Special Features:
- Good for team building eventUWSderVIPDined on 10/30/2014I was expecting the steak to live up to STK standard but I give a credit to make a sports bar such a glamed-up place. Service was excellent and the ambience was so elegant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ExperienceMikeDined on 10/29/2014Ate ear the other night, the food was excellent and they had a good wine/cocktail selection. As a lifelong Yankee fan i loved the decor. Was celebrating a birthday and the staff went the extra mile to celebrate with us. Angel was a terrific server.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/25/2014Great staff, friendly, informative - desserts are very large - for sharing onlySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great #55 Birthday at NYY SteakCarolinaGuyDined on 10/25/2014I celebrated my 55th birthday at NYY Steak with my wife and special friends. The staff, and especially Anthony (our server) took great care of us. The bone-in ribeye was cooked perfectly, the sides were fantastic, and the deserts were the perfect end to this special dinner. Thanks to everyone at NYY Steak for making this birthday the best yet. We hope to come back for future events.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovethisplaceLovethisplaceDined on 10/25/2014WOW, what a great place. Even if you are not a Yankee fan, come to this place as the food is great (better than great), the service is even better, with a great (long) wine list. This was one of the best NYC places we have eaten at and we go out to eat a lot! The location is also great.Special Features:
- Excellent.CatblueDined on 10/25/2014Excellent food. Steak and lamb chops and crab appetizer were all perfect. Wonderful Yankee atmosphere but still a fine dining experience. Waiter could not have been better. Good wine too.Special Features:
- great for steak loversAnExpatWifeVIPDined on 10/23/2014NYY or New York Yankees is a shrine to the Baseball Team. It is owned by the Yankees and is full of memorabilia. I'm guessing its the ideal destination for a fan... I know nothing about baseball but still had a fabulous experience. We came here for steak on our last evening in NYC and we were certainly not disappointed. they have a room in the basement where they age the beef and you can see the meat hanging there just waiting to be ordered. From the moment we walked in the door service was amazing. Everyone asks your name and then continues to uses it which is a little bit strange.. but I guess some people like to feel 'special'. for the rest and pictures.... http://www.anexpatwife.com/the-restaurant-blog/nyy-steak-new-york-citySpecial Features:
- Good food, pushy/overbearing waiterOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/23/2014I went for lunch - great spot for a business lunch. I got the 8 oz filet mignon, with au poivre dressing, asparagus and corn on the side. Everything was really good. Corn was amazing - has bit of bacon in it, and it extremely delicious. Steak came out just as i ordered it. The waiter was just a complete weirdo. Too much info about everything.Special Features:
- A fun steakhouseWallStreetLawyerVIPDined on 10/21/2014For Yankee fans, and baseball fans. Great looking restaurant. Excellent place for a meat-eaters lunch. Pricey, but the specials are worthwhile. (If you can't get a table at the Yankee Stadium location, this is a very good alternative.)Special Features:
- Steak and YankeesMeataholicDined on 10/20/2014If you like one or either, you'll enjoy NYY. Great staff, great service, great food and sizeable portions. Lots of interesting Yankees stuff to, if that's your thing. Even as a Phillies fan, I enjoyed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice place for a nice dinnerhughesinohioDined on 10/20/2014My sister and I were both in NYC on business, so we met up for dinner. This place was perfect. We both enjoy wine and good food. We wanted a place that could provide both without being too loud so that we could talk and catch-up with each other. I arrived before her and enjoyed a glass of the house cabernet at the bar. When she arrived, we were promptly seated. Our waitress did an excellent job and the food was delicious. I was a little suspicious because it was fairly empty while we were there. But the food was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AWESOMEOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/18/2014WE GO TO A LOT OF STEAK HOUSES. THIS ONE OFFERS IT ALL. GREAT FOOD, GREAT AMBIANCE, GREAT SERVICE AND BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!!!! OUR NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT.Special Features:
- Great mealMJFinDined on 10/13/2014NYY is a high end sports bar- not quite what I had expected. The food was excellent and the energetic service was fun. A great meal in a slightly unexpected setting - I would come back. Our waiter Rodrigo was charismatic and steered us to some excellent food. The restaurant was a bit loud but pleasant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top NotchTravelingGalDined on 10/13/2014We came because we are Yankee fans but we left knowing we'd found a great steak house. The steaks were perfect and the crab bisque beforehand was amazing. Superb quality and great service. We felt like one of the family by the time we left.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- conn1138Dined on 10/7/2014Located across the street from Rockefeller Center. This is another great venture by the NY Yankees. The steaks and side dishes are comparable to the great steak houses of NYC. The service was outstanding and everything was spaced out between courses. I never felt as if I was being rushed out the door.Special Features:
- Great midtown steakhouseSamanthaVIPDined on 10/3/2014I love dining at NYY steak. The food and service is always great. It never disappoints. Highly recommend for business or personal dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good food but expensivePeckVIPDined on 10/1/2014It's all about the Yankees so make sure you're a fan! Good food, but I found the description of the menu by the waiter very long and prices are very high, there are better deals in nicer settings in the area in my viewSpecial Features:

- Never DisappointedHankdevilDined on 9/27/2014You do not have to be a Yankee fan or even a baseball fan to appreciate great service or great steak which is what NYY Steak delivers constantly. Service is top notch and the wait staff is as friendly as they can be without going over the top.Excellent cuts of meat, the Filet Mignon actually melts in the mouth, the Strip is a Man's steak and the rib eye is fit for a king. My favorite place to take a relative or friend to for a special occasion.Special Features:
- vivalavidaVIPDined on 9/27/2014This is a very top notch restaurant. Everything was just outstanding. The only reason i didn't give a 5 star for food was because my steak was a bit overdone and they they didn't get it when i asked for a red center. The fillet mignon came over cooked and barely had a pink middle... I should have complained but didn't want to put the nice waitress in a hard spot, so let it go.Special Features:
- Excellent!LoveagreatsteakhouseDined on 9/26/2014I have been to a lot of steak houses, but this was one of the best! The filet mignon was buttery soft and delicious. The service was excellent and enthusiastic. It's a little pricey, but well worth it. Plus, the atmosphere is very cool if you are a Yankee fan.Special Features:

Group Purchasing Organizations:
Pilot Study Suggests Large Buying Groups Do Not Always Offer Hospitals Lower Prices

This testimony discusses group purchasing organizations (GPO) for medical devices and supplies used in hospitals. By pooling the purchases of their member hospitals, these specialized firms negotiate lower prices from vendors. GAO found that a hospital's use of a GPO contract did not guarantee that the hospital saved money: GPOs' prices were not always lower and were often higher than prices paid by hospitals negotiating directly with vendors. GAO studied price savings with respect to: (1) whether hospitals using GPO contracts received better prices than hospitals that did their own contracting, (2) the size of the hospital, and (3) size of the GPO. This data raises questions about whether GPOs, specially large GPOs, achieve consistent price savings.

Caregivers Finally Catch A Break
Talk about a change of heart.
A few months back my blog dealt with the negative commentary emanating from Canadian government officials and targeting live-in caregivers, also known as the extended Filipino community in Canada.
Lo and behold, last week the very same government announced significant reforms to the caregiver program that can only be seen as hugely beneficial to the caregivers themselves.
Changes to the program include ending the live-in requirement. It will remain an option, but will no longer be mandatory. No longer will caregivers be forced to sleep where they work and have their wages garnished for room and board. It's about time.
Of utmost importance to caregivers is the length of time they are separated from their spouses and children back home. As it stands now, a caregiver must first complete two years of full-time work in Canada before applying for Canadian permanent residence status and including their immediate family members in the application. Processing times are long and, in some cases, extend well beyond three years. Currently, there are 60,000 applications awaiting a decision. The government has committed to clear the backlog completely by 2016. A cap of 5,500 applications per year has now been imposed, with the goal of processing permanent resident applications within six months. If this goes as planned, it will be a praiseworthy accomplishment.
As I have stated previously, caregivers are dedicated, hard-working individuals. They do the type of work that Canadians shun, at any reasonable wage. I, for one, am glad that they are finally getting their just due. Better late than never.

Africa Urged to Invest in Young Leaders
Kenny Dlamini writes that during the United States of America-Africa Leaders' summit which took place on August 2014 in Washington, one of the shared commitments outlined by the United Sates and African governments is to increase investment in the next generation; investment in Africa's youth.
Dlamini says the call to invest in the youth was in line with the theme of the summit 'Investing in the Next Generation', which focused on ways of stimulating growth, unlocking opportunities and creating an enabling environment for the next generation.
He says, "It is true that Africa cannot always rely on outside help for its future prosperity. At the same time this does not mean that the continent must not welcome outside assistance that claims or seeks to help Africans to build a better and prosperous future."

UN Pays Tribute to President Mandela
The United Nations (UN) secretary-general, Ban Ki-Moon, has described former president, Nelson Mandela as 'a giant for justice' whose 'selfless struggle for human dignity, equality and freedom' inspired many people around the world.
Ban told reporters soon after Mandela's death was announced by President Jacob Zuma that, "No one did more in our time to advance the values and aspirations of the United Nations."
He says he was deeply touched when he met Mandela in February 2009, adding that, "When I thanked him for his life's work, he insisted the credit belonged to others."

Gigaba Criticises Opposition Parties, NGOs

Gigaba told the South African Democratic Teachers' Union (SADTU) that, "All around us, the opportunists, the pessimists, the opposition and the counter-revolutionists are telling us what we have achieved in the last 19 years has been nothing and this revolution faces its inevitable doom."
He further states that some opposition leaders have went to countries like the United States and spoke ill of development in South Africa in aims of getting money from them.

Green Ultra Right Bombers
So if you are wondering why the long silence since the post last week, well…I am in Durban after all, where things tend to move a little slower than Joburg and about as fast as Cape Town. And it has been busy: the 'People's Space' at University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), mostly at the initiative of Patrick Bond, has taken off and is always buzzing with energy, people and a whole herd of news crews from local and international media. There are activists, socialists, NGO people, more activists and a whole bunch of artists as well, mostly thanks to the Climate Train initiative and the great crew that was on board that long trip around South Africa to Durban.
The 'occupy space' has also been buzzing and you should take a look at the video post from the Ambush Collective who descended upon it and built a wonderful garden for the future. Which brings us neatly to another aspect of the 'occupy space' in Durban. It is not your classic people-driven occupy, but rather a city approved space for people to occupy during COP17, which was negotiated with the city by the civil society representatives on the C17. It is in that sense a new kind of occupy, a government approved and temporary allowance for people to express and engage. While there are so many ideological issues with such a concept, I am trying to be brave and creative enough to let go off those issues and ideas of occupy as we know it from OWS and focus on what has been happening there and maybe, some thinking about what may come of it post COP17. So far, nothing has come of the 'occupy space' since the march on Saturday, 3 December 2011 and in the words of my colleague, John Treat, it is now de-funked, which may go some way towards debunking the myth that international NGOs (INGOs) are capable of hijacking the occupy idea. That is something we should all be very grateful for.
And that is pretty much where I feel we can leave this blog as it seems that my assertion that NGOs and other movements in civil society will try to co-opt and cannibalise the ideals and methods of occupy for their current agendas was in fact prescient – but, I feel that maybe I am being too harsh on the people and processes in SA. And there is good reason to be kinder to our levels of (dis)organisation and the nuances of our political history which make engagements with the SA government a challenge fraught with tensions and high-drama instead of a simple critical intellectual engagement and consensus building on moving forward.
The how and why we are here mired in this stalemate is the subject of not just another blog but of several issuances from academics to cartoonists, locally and across the know universe. Yet, we as people of this nation and across all sectors seem unwilling to be brave enough to change or are too content with this divided society we are building. Or maybe it is simply that we do not care enough about how we work or fail to. Almost all conversations with locals and visitors alike tend to lead back to the question of leadership and lack thereof among civil society organisations as the key weakness in our ability to engage critically and effectively with government. And I tend to agree, though I still hold that the concept of an apex representative structure for civil society that is recognised by government is not just outmoded but also potentially harmful to the growth of ideas that manifest as ideals and changes to the stark poverty and inequality in SA. But going back to agreeing with the notion that there is a lack of leadership in the sector and what some sober and principled leadership can achieve: for a start it may help with my desire to see a better engagement process than the current hobbled together rigmarole of government doing things, civil society organisations responding negatively to it and inevitably a court process to find a better solution. I find it baffling that, in a country with a globally lauded Constitution and a rich pool of intellectual talent, we are seemingly constantly finding ourselves at loggerheads with each other over things that, at first glance at least, seem pretty obvious or common sense. A good example is the demands around climate secrets by Right2Know and while the demands themselves make for interesting reading, the fact that we must demand these things, seems to me that the ideals of the Freedom Charter are somehow being lost in this transition to a form of capitalist sanctioned democracy we are building… but maybe that is a blog for another day.
The march on 3 December was a great show of both strength and courage from a range of people and organisations not willing to be boxed into corners by a government that is increasingly moving further right in the way it treats its people. The use of what Rehad Desai calls the "Green Bombers" to intimidate other allegedly anti-government civil society groups was an appalling act of machismo and it is worth reading Rehad's post about the incident on Facebook.
I am reminded of the outburst from former President Thabo Mbeki about the 'ultra-leftists' and how perceptions of political allegiance and positioning are really just perspectives. Maybe Mbeki did not realise how far right he had moved and thus some people did seem to him to be ultra left. Which is pretty much where we seem to be going with the COP17 process. The current deal period is about to expire in 2012 and with no deal here in Durban, it just means that we will have to deal with what is left, instead of doing what is right.

Nonprofit Sustainability is the Responsibility of LeadershipMoney in the bank does not necessarily mean that your organisation will be sustainable.
A strong sense of being mission-driven, measuring impact and sharing results is what leaders of charities and nonprofit organisations (NPOs) should strive to embed into the consciousness of everyone involved in the organisation, this is how an organisation can shift the status quo from fretting over money to creating future plans.
Using the seven dimensions1 for nonprofit sustainability as a guideline, leaders can embrace these characteristics for determining board competencies and delegation of duties for oversight, good governance and quality performance that will ensure continuity.
The seven dimensions encompass the following; legal good standing and compliance; organisational capacity and expertise to do the work; financial viability of the organisation; advocacy for the work undertaken that will make a difference; quality and professionalism of service provision; stable infrastructure and building of a brand that portrays a positive public image.
Nearly 122 000 entities are registered with the Department of Social Development's Nonprofit Organisations (NPO) Directorate. More than 80 000 NPOs are non-compliant2 with only 19 percent of NPOs financial statements and narrative reports being verified annually by the Directorate.
Does this indicate that a majority of elected or appointed board members of NPOs are blissfully unaware of their fiduciary duties and other responsibilities?
Few board members work closely with fundraisers yet financial sustainability is unquestionably the responsibility of the board. Human resource policies need to be interrogated by the board to ensure recruitment of employees remains equitable, fair and open. So-called operational matters such as these are often left to the executive and put on auto-pilot.
It is often stated by board members that projects are driven by experts 'we leave that work to the professionals and do not interfere', abdicating responsibilities, assuming everything is hunky-dory will not lead to sustainability.
"For nonprofits, financial sustainability and programmatic sustainability cannot be separated. It's not enough to have a high-impact programme if there's no effective strategy for sustaining the organisation financially. And neither is it enough to be financially stable: we build our organisations for impact, not for financial stability."
Quote from the book 'NonProfit Sustainability: Making Strategic Decisions for Financial Viability', Authors: Jeanne Bell, Jan Masaoka and Steve Zimmerman.
What are the Seven Dimensions for NPO Sustainability?
- Legal good standing and compliance; this includes not only signing off audited financial statements but making sure that all fiduciary reporting deadlines are met, that all taxes are paid to the South African Revenue Services, that issuance of Section18a receipts to donors are done correctly, that amendments and changes to constitutions, trust deeds and memorandums of incorporations are done in accordance with statutory bodies.
- Organisational capacity and expertise to do the work; that a clearly defined vision, mission and set goals and targets have been defined in a medium to short-term strategy. That the programmes and projects being undertaken by employees are professional and that adequate resources are in place. Dedicated staff and committed volunteers including board members have written 'contracts' with duties (job descriptions). Technological know-how and access to broadband is a must.
- Financial viability of the organisation and its programmes; a revenue plan with financial projections for at least 2-3 years should be in place and approved by the board. Such a plan will include diverse income sources and avoid reliance on a single or few streams - the plan needs to be balanced using a variety of fundraising techniques appropriate to programmes and the mission. Philanthropic gifts should be sought from individuals, trusts, foundations as well as tapping into corporate social investment as well as efforts to work with government departments.
- Advocacy for the work undertaken to change the world; Respond quickly to a call for action. Interact with national and local government on policy making, join issue-based coalitions and energetically participate in advocacy campaigns. Lobby for reform to social justice, influence legislation that might affect the sector such as Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) score cards, participate in public benefit taxation laws that enable or disable the NPO sector, encourage ethical behaviour, promote values and sign codes of good conduct.
- Quality and professionalism of service provision; focus on the greatest needs in your community and do not proffer projects that are not necessarily going to change the status quo - you need to measure the impact being achieved and effectiveness services to beneficiaries, which will not be cut-back if there is a funding crunch. Ideally other NPOs and government departments recognise your work and beneficiaries are even prepared to pay fees for your services. You confidently demonstrate a social return on investment.
- Stable infrastructure and ownership of assets; ensure that there is adequate space and facilities with long-term investments such as endowment funds or a steady flow of membership fees to keep the organisation glued together. Form alliances; build strong relationships with local business and government, encourage co-optiveness and share lessons learned with other organisations and work with many to make a difference in communities or in the country. Make sure that your team members receive opportunities for upgrading their skills by attending training courses and can tap into new technology.
- Building the brand and public image; issue positive and regular media messages about your work, self-promote at forums, do public speaking stints and monitor public perceptions - if things do not look positive then jump into action. It is always a good idea to have a communication strategy in place for both internal and external communication. Create solid relationships with the public, local newspapers, radio stations, social networks, schools, hospitals and the police and have a dynamic website that publishes news and uplifting results.

What's the Origin of "Nor'easter"?tags: Bradley Craig, nor'easters, winter storms, blizzards
In a break from tradition (or perhaps it's merely the start of a new one) the Weather Channel has given names to the major winter storms from the 2012-2013 season. Time will tell if this has been a particularly snowy winter, but as of the end of February sixteen of the twenty-three proposed storm names have already been used. None were more severe this year than Winter Storm Nemo, which socked the Northeast at the beginning of February, causing power outages throughout the Northeast and killing fourteen people.
Nemo was far from the worst of the so-called "nor'easters" which regularly impact New England. Documented since at least the early nineteenth century, nor'easters regularly devastate the eastern coasts of Canada the United States. Nor'easters typically occur between the months of September and April (so there's time still yet for another round – in 2007, a powerful nor'easter hit the East Coast in mid-April), and these storms usually cover an area of hundreds of miles or more. Heavy rain, snow, and winds tend to hit the New England region heaviest, causing flooding, property damage, and coastal erosion.
The Oxford English Dictionary dates the appellation "nor'easter" back to the year 1837, although the less abbreviated form "north-easter" (also northeaster) goes all the way back to a Boston newspaper in 1753. The Great Blizzard of 1888 was one of the earliest severe weather events that gained notoriety in the Northeast when it hit New York City in mid-March, leaving an ice bridge across the East River. The Great Blizzard resulted in two hundred deaths in New York City and an additional two hundred throughout the Northeast. The aftermath of this particular event spurred the creation of New York's subway system and an overhaul of the city's infrastructure.
A locomotive nearly buried by the 1888 blizzard.
In 1950, the Great Appalachian Storm swept through almost 12 states throughout the Midwest and along the East Coast, leading to over three hundred casualties. The November storm required the Ohio National Guard to mobilize for rescue operations, although, in a stirring display of true priorities, the football game between the Ohio State University and the University of Michigan went ahead as scheduled.
The most catastrophic nor'easter in the past half-century actually got its name from Ash Wednesday -- the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962, which occurred between March 6 and March 8. The Ash Wednesday Storm's forty deaths and property damage to 45,000 coastal homes led to the establishment of new construction standards for beachfront homes. The damage totaled $90 million in Delaware alone.
Wreckage in Ocean City, New Jersey from the 1962 storm.
The Great Northeast Blizzard of 1978 wreaked tremendous havoc on lives and property as well. A record 27.1 inches of snow fell in Boston over the course of 32 hours and 40 minutes. Parts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island were named federal disaster areas during the storm. Over 3,000 vehicles were stranded on Route 128 in Massachusetts. In total, more than 4,500 people were injured during the storm and 100 died.
The show must go on: musician Paul Benoit trudges through snow dumped by the 1978 blizzard to get to a gig.
March 1993 witnessed a nor'easter that turned into the Storm of the Century, the convergence of three separate severe weather events. This storm shut down every major airport on the Eastern Seaboard for the first time in history. The event highlighted the need for a more efficient emergency notification system. As a result, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration put in place new guidelines for threat communication.
A car buried under snow and fallen trees from the 1993 Storm of the Century.
Areas further south have not been immune -- extreme winter weather shut down the entire federal government for an unprecedented six days during the Blizzard of 1996, which hit Washington, D.C., Virginia, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and New York, among other states. Nine states were named federal disaster areas. Most deaths resulted from traffic accidents, but people also died of carbon monoxide poisoning while trapped in their cars.
And, with Winter Storm Rocky bearing down on the Midwest this week and another month and a half of nor'easter season, we're not out of the woods yet!

Item: Has the consistency of top flight recruiting classes ever been greater in the Boeheim era?
The terrific website Verbal Commits lays out the complete roster timeline of major college basketball programs. There's a graph listing current four year eligibility cycles by academic class for scholarship players and walk-ons by position, along with a three year recruiting tracker of players who have either signed letters of intent, given verbal commitments, have been offered a scholarship, or remain among the players a school is pursuing.
With the SU coach now settling into his eight man rotation which loses two scholarship players (C.J. Fair and Baye Moussa Keita) and perhaps one to two others (Jerami Grant) after the season, there's the three talented freshmen (B.J. Johnson, Ron Patterson and Tyler Roberson) who's minutes have come almost exclusively in non-spotlighted games so far, and a fourth, big man Chinonso Obokoh, who's likely to officially redshirt this season.
» Related: Former Syracuse basketball player Rob McClanaghan trains elite NBA stars
Add next year's two highly rated recruits F Chris McCullough and PG Kaleb Joseph who've signed letters of intent, along with last week's verbal commitment from N.J. junior elite SG prospect Malachi Richardson who joins Hudson Valley native PF Tyler Lydon in the 2015 class, and the current recruitment of HS sophomores, it's clear that the influx of talent is not going to dissipate in the eventual Boeheim-to-Mike Hopkins transition which is likely to occur somewhere during the period that these last two classes of scholarship players are on campus.
Sure, there have been some pretty talented rosters and consecutive year periods of success when you review the Boeheim years, the 1990 team that lost in the Sweet 16 to Minnesota had six future NBA players, and the 1987 national runners-up had four that played in the NBA. The 2003 national championship team might have had just two future NBAers, but obviously had enough collective talent to win it all, while the 2010 team had five future NBA players, yet will always be known for the "what if" question surrounding the availability of center Arinze Onuaku who missed the NCAA Tournament with a severe knee injury.
Off back-to-back seasons of making the Elite Eight and Final Four while sending five players to the NBA in the process, currently (as of Dec. 18) one of 14 unbeaten Div. I teams and ranked second for a second straight week, and with the future of the program filled with the prospect of the highest level of scholastic talent, the last chapters of Boeheim's coaching tenure might just incredibly be the most victorious of all.

It was comforting for our family to know that everything was going to be taken care of and that we would do my father-in-law justice with a very beautiful funeral. Thank you so much for that peace-of-mind. We could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out. You all are truly wonderful at what you do. I would never go anywhere else! (Although I'm hoping not to have to use your services for a very long time!) Thank you so much for everything."

November 22, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld an Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling that a proposed "personhood" constitutional amendment would be an unconstitutional ban on abortion.
The court on Monday rejected the appeal without comment.
Mathew Staver of the Florida-based Liberty Counsel - which filed the appeal on behalf of Personhood Oklahoma - says supporters may try again to get it on the ballot.
The proposal would grant fertilized human embryos the rights and privileges of citizens in Oklahoma. Supporters say it's part of an effort to have the U.S. Supreme Court review a ruling that legalized abortion.
It was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union and the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of several Oklahoma doctors and residents.
The state Supreme Court called the measure "clearly unconstitutional."
