Giattina earned a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Alabama in 1990. He founded venture capital firm Global Investments and realty firm Global Realty in 1996. Giattina is currently the Chief Financial Officer of Giattina Aycock Architecture Studio. He has been a board member of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute and the Cultural Alliance of Greater Birmingham. Giattina and his wife, Elene Kapanis, have two children.[1][2]
Giattina won re-election to his District 3 seat on August 27, 2013. He ran unopposed for the seat as the filing deadline for the election passed without additional candidates in District 3.[3] Due to Alabama state law, write-in candidates are not allowed in Birmingham's municipal elections, so he won the election by default once the filing deadline passed.[4] Giattina's name was not on the ballot, and as a result, there is no vote total for the District 3 race.[4]
Giattina first won election to the board on August 25, 2009. He faced fellow challengers Elisa Burns-Macon, Bob Friedman and Randall Woodfin to fill the open seat in District 3. Giattina advanced from the August 25 general election and defeated Burns-Macon in a runoff election on October 6, 2009.

What was at stake?
Nine seats, including every board officer position, were at stake. Three members of the controversial "Gang of Five" coalition of board members were on the ballot. These members were Emanuel B. Ford, Virginia S. Volker and Tyrone H. Belcher, Sr., all of whom lost their re-election bids.[5] Incumbents Carol E. Clarke, W. J. Maye Jr. and Phyllis F. Wyne did not seek re-election.[6]
Stake takeover
On June 26, 2012, the Alabama Department of Education assumed control of Birmingham City Schools after the school board failed to pass a measure that would have cut hundreds of jobs over two years to bring the district into compliance with state law.[7] The discovery that schools in the district were operating without the mandated month of emergency reserve funds, which amounted to approximately $20 million, was another contributor to the state takeover.[8] Since the takeover, the school board has consolidated seven schools and six office buildings in an effort to save the district approximately $8 million.[8]
Board confrontations
Giattina was involved in a confrontation with fellow board member Tyrone H. Belcher, Sr. during a closed board meeting on January 25, 2011. According to harassment charges filed by Giattina, Belcher argued with Board President Phyllis Wyne and fellow members intervened to prevent escalation of the argument.[9][10]
About the district
The Birmingham City School District was created in 1910 when the Alabama State Legislature passed a bill creating Greater Birmingham. Through this bill, 40 schools were annexed by the Birmingham Free School, most of them substandard and in disrepair. Birmingham City Schools is now comprised of 51 schools including 25 elementary schools, 11 middle schools, seven K-8 schools, seven high schools, and one alternative school.[11]
Jefferson County outperforms the rest of Alabama in terms of median household income, poverty rates and higher education achievement in 2011. The median household income for Jefferson County is $45,750 when compared to $42,934 for the state of Alabama. The percentage of people below poverty level for Jefferson County is 16.2% while it is 17.6% for the state of Alabama. The 2010 U.S. Census also found that 29.0% of Jefferson County residents aged 25 or older attained a bachelor's degree compared to 22.0% in Iowa[13]
Note: The United States Census Bureau considers "Hispanic or Latino" to be a place of origin, not a race. Therefore, the Census allows citizens to report both their race and that they are from a "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin simultaneously. As a result, the percentages in each column of the racial demographics table will exceed 100 percent. Each column will add up to 100 percent after removing the "Hispanic or Latino" place of origin percentages, although rounding by the Census Bureau may make the total one or two tenths off from being exactly 100 percent.[15]

The Dothan High Football Team is facing a serious change of scenery this season. After years of facing teams from East Alabama like Central-Phenix City, Auburn and Opelika, realignment swung the Tigers to the opposite end of the state.
Now, Dothan will play in Class 6A Region 2, against Mobile schools like Foley, Daphne and Fairhope. So, the Tigers plan to rely on veterans like Auburn commitment Kamryn Melton, UAB commit Adrian Kirkland and versatile two-way star D.D. Thomas to help the team adjust to it's new surroundings.
White says his team must replace some key pieces from last year's 6-5 playoff squad, but he believes this group can make another playoff run, despite facing so many new teams.
"These guys are used to winning now, so we just want to continue to build on that and ride our guys from last year who played a lot and won some games for us," Head Coach Kelvis White said. "I'm excited about it and looking forward to it.
"Hopefully, we can have a great season."
Dothan opes the year with a pre-season game against Abbeville at Rip Hewes Stadium on August 24th. The Tigers play their regular season opener on August 31st, also at home, hosting Jeff Davis.
Lettermen from the 1940s and 1950s Dothan High teams will be recognized during the game. For more information, call 792-3022.

In a deal that will dramatically affect both the story lines on NBC's "30 Rock" as well as the future of media conglomeration, Comcast, the country's biggest cable provider, has acquired NBC Universal from General Electric for an estimated $30 billion. —JCL
The New York Times:
After nearly nine months of negotiations, Comcast, the nation's largest cable operator, finally reached an agreement on Thursday to acquire NBC Universal from the General Electric Company.
The deal valued NBC Universal at about $30 billion.
The agreement will create a joint venture, with Comcast owning 51 percent and G.E. owning 49 percent. Comcast will contribute to the joint venture its stable of cable channels, which includes Versus, the Golf Channel and E Entertainment, worth about $7.25 billion, and will pay G.E. about $6.5 billion in cash, for a total of $13.75 billion. For now, the network will remain NBC Universal, but ultimately Comcast could decide to change the name.
Almost immediately, the transaction reshapes the nation's entertainment industry, giving a cable provider a huge portfolio of new content, even as it raises the sector's anxieties about the future.

Under the joint ownership deal, Comcast will own 51 percent of NBC, GE 49 percent.

One of Broadway's leading ladies, Kristin Chenoweth, heads back to the boards!Buy Tickets
Love and luck take centre-stage in this revival of the 1970s mischievous comedy, where Peter Gallagher and Tony-winner Kristin Chenoweth star as former lovers who meet by fate aboard the luxurious Twentieth Century's Chicago to New York City line.
This exciting new production by the Roundabout Theatre Company comes after several years of waiting in the production line, and almost 36-years after the musical first appeared on Broadway. The production will be directed by Tony-winner Scott Ellis.
Theatre producer Oscar Jaffee (Gallagher) has exactly one train journey to convince Broadway starlet, Lily Garland (Chenoweth), to take on the lead in his brand new play! Two tiny problems exist - he is completely bankrupt and the epic play in question isn't actually going ahead yet!
Oscar Jaffee has to race against the clock to make save his career and get his play about Mary Magdalene onto a stage, as well as contend with Ms. Garland's jealous (and highly religious!) new beau.

from paul 59 marion 61 sarah 35 simon 32 we arrived at dasis apartments at 11 0clock at night after they provided a personal taxi from the shutlle bus straight to apartments which i thought was very nice the manager ertan and barman selo could not do enough for us anything we wanted they tried to accomadate us we had a very enjoyable fortnight and would not hesitate to recommend the apartments which are very handy for everything you want in bodrum
In September 2007 me and my girlfriend had a 11 great days at Bodrum, especially thanks to Dasis. It is a small cosy and unusual hotel. Every room has a breathtaking view on Bodrum centre, the castle and the sea. The guest family really made us feel at home. Dasis has a quiet location and still within walking distance of the dazzling centrum. Nearby is a supermarket, weekly vegetables, textile market and a bus stop. I recommend it to anyone who wants some cosiness and rest, but who also wants to enjoy everything that Bodrum has to offer.
The Dasis guarantees a unique atmosphere and lots of hospitality. The apartment with two rooms were spacious and basically furnished. The furnishings are the only things wrong with place (6.5). The Dasis scores a 9 or a 10 for everything else! The staff are really friendly and they really try to help you out as much as possible without being pushy. It's only a two minute walk to the cheapest supermarket in Bodrum (Tansas) where they sell fresh bread and other products. There's a bus stop next to the shop and you can explore the whole of the area surrounding Bodrum for very little money. There's a fresh fruit and veg market next to the shop a couple of times a week and there's a cheap bazaar on a Tuesday (don't forget to haggle). The centre is really near the hotel. Conclusion: I can really recommend the Dasis.
Nice apartment complex that's on a small scale. The staff are really friendly and helpful. We had an amazing time in this hotel and we had a wonderful holiday.

Lenovo Yoga tablet bends 360-degrees, handles all of your fingers
At a press event in New York today, Lenovo joked that it was the second largest PC maker that nobody's heard of, even after overtaking the silver medal from Dell in October and eyeing HP's lead.
It's true, most people have no clue who Lenovo is. Some people might know that IBM sold its PC division to the Chinese company in 2005, but Lenovo's PCs and tablets can hardly be considered breakthrough or iconic.
Meet the IdeaPad Yoga. Is it an Ultrabook? A giant 13.3-inch tablet? An oversized tabletop digital calendar? It's all of those and it's one of the most interesting transforming laptops we've seen in a while.
Look How Far I Can Bend Ma!
The Lenovo Yoga is appropriately named because its screen can bend into a number of positions.
Opened at 90-degrees, the 13.3-inch Yoga (1600x900 resolution) is a fast solid-state disk-equipped Windows 8 Ultrabook.
Bend the screen backwards to 180-degrees and it can be laid parallel to a table. I haven't figured out what use I would use the Yoga in this position for personally, but that's up to you to figure out.
Keep on bending the Yoga and it can be positioned with the keyboard acting as a base or in a "tent" — perfect for propping up on a cramped airplane table.
If you complete the 360-degree bend, the entire Ultrabook suddenly becomes a tablet. Thanks to an IPS display, viewing angles are preserved without screen details becoming muddled pixels of light.
Even with all that bending, in my brief hands-on with the computer, I didn't detect any significant flex to the screen or keyboard. The entire machine felt very well constructed and the hinges certainly seemed engineered to withstand constant transforming.
Multitouch Heaven
Most impressive about the Yoga outside of its flexible hinge is that it supports multitouch for 10 fingers. In fact the Yoga is the first tablet/touchscreen Ultrabook to let you press all ten of your smudgy fingers all over it.
How does it feel? Very good. Very, very good, considering what was on show was still a prototype model. Windows 8 was very responsive. I can't wait to see what app developers do with all the finger tracking.
When Can You Buy One And How Much?
Lenovo wasn't ready to announce any official specs, but I did spy two USB ports (one 2.0 and one 3.0) and an HDMI port on the sides. Obviously, there's no optical drive on this guy.
A firm price and release date for the Yoga in the U.S. isn't available yet, but a Lenovo product rep tells us that it should hover in the $1,199 range and will be released alongside the launch of Windows 8 (currently pegged for later this year).
For our readers in the U.K., Lenovo announced this morning that the Yoga would start at £1,199 (about $1,900). Hopefully that conversion won't bring the extra $700 with it when it hits the States.

|King James Version (KJV)
|New International Version (NIV)
|31 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy , and of such as lay in wait by the way.
|31 On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he protected us from enemies and bandits along the way.
|32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
|32 So we arrived in Jerusalem, where we rested three days.
|33 Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;
|33 On the fourth day, in the house of our God, we weighed out the silver and gold and the sacred articles into the hands of Meremoth son of Uriah, the priest. Eleazar son of Phinehas was with him, and so were the Levites Jozabad son of Jeshua and Noadiah son of Binnui.
|34 By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.
|34 Everything was accounted for by number and weight, and the entire weight was recorded at that time.
|35 Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the LORD.
|35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven male lambs and, as a sin offering, twelve male goats. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.
|36 And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
|36 They also delivered the king's orders to the royal satraps and to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, who then gave assistance to the people and to the house of God.

We hate to admit it, but we made a mistake last night. We should have referred to what we termed WSU's "scrimmage" as a "mock game." That seems to be all the rage around the country right now. It's the hot term for a controlled environment in which the players do everything they would do in a game except get yelled at by the opponent's crowd. Because there is no opponent, only teammates. Which makes a mockery of the game part. Oh well, we have links to coverage of WSU's scrimmage – yes, we've decided we like that term better – and to other news from around the Pac-10.
• Washington State: There's a lot here this morning, from our story and post on the scrimmage to one fan's perspective and video. There's more video on the WSU football site and another story from freelancer Howie Stalwick in the Kitsap Sun. CougFan has coverage. OK, that's it.
• Around the Pac-10: Ted Miller of ESPN.com is having some technical problems (some posts have just disappeared) but he still has the practice players of the week and rates the conference's defensive tackle units. … The Pac-10 and the Alamo Bowl sign an agreement. … Washington: Bob Condotta writes about the energy Nick Holts brings to the Huskies, though, for $700,000 a year, it seems that would be a given. … UW has named its captains. As an aside, WSU had game captains last season but my guess is the Cougars will name at least one or two guys that will serve all season. … Oregon State: The Beavers answered a multitude of questions during the past three weeks. But some remain. … This is an interesting post. … Oregon: The Ducks' inexperienced group of receivers has a tough assignment against Boise State. … Cal: Budget busts will force Cal to bus to Los Angeles. As I read this I was hit with one thought: Why does a person who has a signed contract, which is, after all, a contract, have to take a furlough? Seems like it would void the contract. … Stanford: We all know the Cardinal cast a wide net when recruiting. This linebacker is from a long way away, both geographically and socio-economically. … USC: Worried that the Trojans wouldn't have a No. 1 running back? Me neither. But if you're interested, Joe McKnight is the guy. …UCLA: Though games start next week, the Bruins don't think their offense is ready. … Arizona State: No redshirt for freshman quarterback Blake Osweiler. … Arizona: The Wildcats' placekicker Alex Zendejas is struggling. But he doesn't lose sleep over it.
• That's all for this morning. The Cougars have the FanFest in the morning – as I look out my window I see threatening clouds, sorry – and then practice is scheduled for 3 p.m. We'll have a report on the latter but we'll probably skip the former. Until then …

We eat lots of chicken soup. After all, isn't chicken soup good for all that ails you? We love it. I have made soup by great chefs and they are always good. I guess that has something to do with the chicken and all those veggies. This week, I tried Paula Deen's recipe from her new cookbook, Southern Cooking Bible.
I want to write a review after I make some more recipes but just looking through it shows how much promise there is. This recipe is extra special. It has no butter in it. I cut back on most of her recipes on her liberal use of butter. I, most likely lose out on some of the taste but I won't eat sticks of butter.
1 whole chicken (31/2 pounds), rinsed, patted dry, and cut into 8 pieces
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 large carrots, halved crosswise
1 large yellow onion, halved through the root end
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 bay leaves
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1. In a large stockpot, combine the chicken, 12 cups
water, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, bay leaves, salt, black pepper,
and tarragon. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and
cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes.
2. Remove the chicken and carrots from the pot and set aside.
Strain the remaining liquid and discard the solids. Return the strained
broth to the pot, stir in the rice, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook
until the rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, once the chicken is cool enough to handle, pick the meat off the bones,
discarding the bones and skin. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces and
thinly slice the carrots. Return the chicken and carrots to the pot.
Simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning and stir in the parsley just
before serving.
You feel terrific, immediately.

I love Paula Deen and love her recipes, This looks very tasty anxious to hear how you liked it. I know about the butter, the boys are trying hard to get her a little healthier in her cooking......... AndiReplyDelete
You can never go wrong with a good Chicken Soup!ReplyDelete
It sure look stuffed full of flavor! I don't think you need sticks of butter to get good flavor! IMO you can use a small amount and get great flavor from it! :)ReplyDelete
Yum and yum! Our grandmas were right about chicken soup. Finally the medical community has endorsed them!! Love Paula and your soup.ReplyDelete

Café Yesterday: Cocoa Puffs and Verve coffee for all
October 28, 2011 2:30 pm by Sarah Henry
When Midwest transplant Ryan Brinson recently set up shop in Berkeley, he thought he'd died and gone to heaven. Well, that might not be how Brinson, an ordained minister, would characterize it. But the rock and roller with religious roots definitely felt like he had come home.
Brinson, a keyboard-playing long-time preacher in San Diego, decided to switch gears and locations to open Café Yesterday, a nonprofit java joint with a charitable and compassionate community approach — as one might expect from a man of the church. … Continue reading »
Birdland Jazz finds a new home at Café Yesterday

Late last year Michael Parayno, the founder of arguably the hippest garage jazz club and barbecue joint in town, was having some serious run-ins with the city — as first reported on Berkeleyside.
Parayno was operating a very popular supper club, then called the Multi Culti Grill and Birdland Jazz, out of his Sacramento Street residential address across from North Berkeley BART. Almost 150 people commented on the three posts we wrote about his situation, the vast majority … Continue reading »

Wynn's Earnings: What We're Watching This Quarter
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( Trefis) -- Last year, Wynn Resorts (WYNN) saw overall revenues increase approximately 26% which was primarily driven by impressive performance in Macau. Wynn competes directly with Las Vegas Sands (LVS), MGM Resorts International (MGM), SJM, Galaxy and Harrah's among others.
This quarter, we are watching Wynn's performance in Las Vegas which has started showing signs of a recovery. In Q4 2011, revenues from Las Vegas operations witnessed an increase of 7.2% vis-a-vis Q4 2010. We are also optimistic about VIP table games turnover, we expect it to show impressive growth due to the potential size of the Macau gaming market.

Surnames From Patronymics - by Donna Speer Ristenbatt
Dutch Patronymics of the 1600s - by Lorine McGinnis Schulze
English Equivalents of Dutch Names - Hope Farm Press
From: email@example.com (Hank Matty)
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 1996 10:48:22 LOCAL
The following Dutch names come from Nellis, M. Old Palatine Church. St. Johnsville, NY: Press of the Enterprise and News, 1930. Page 32 has a listing of the family of Hendrick KLOCK, who was a first settler of the Mohawk Valley. Wife: Jacomyntie; children: Jacob, Honorich Jr., Johannes, Johangurge, Coonrod, Hannarum, Honyost, Barvalis, Magdalena, and Adam.
Of these 12 names, Jacob, Magdalena, and Adam have no further English equivalent known to me. Equivalents are in hand for Hendrick (Henry), Johannes (John), Johangurge (George, who in his case was nicknamed Ury, Jerry, and Old George), Coonrod (Conrad), and Barvalis (Barbara).
Jacomyntie is a special problem because the source left uncertain whether it was a given name or surname. I need help also with Honorich Jr., Hannarum, and Honyost.
Hank Matty
From: firstname.lastname@example.com (Ida S. McCormick)
Date: 27 Jun 1996 17:24:26 -0700
Eva Alice Scott in Jacobus Jansen Van Etten: Some Ten Generations in America.... (Youngstown, Ohio, 1952) has 2 pp. of given names glossary. It shows Jacomyntie as a given name which is the equivalent of Jemina or Jacoba (fem.) in English. The diminutive name endings (nickname) for females (ie, je, tje, ke, ken) make spotting many of the feminine names easier. Jemima looks like a usage equivalent rather than a linguistic equivalent. Other sources list only Jacoba as the English equivalent of Jacomyntie.
It looks like the other problems with the KLOCK record you have are threefold: nickname forms that have coalesced into double nicknames, spelled phonetically, plus probably some mistranscription of characters in the book which is the source of your information.
Honorich, Jr., is likely a mistranscription of Hendrich, Jr. Or maybe he's Johannes Hendrich KLOCK, Jr.
Jacob is often converted into English James. In English we differentiate between the Old Testament Jacob and the New Testament James. Both are Jacob/Jacobus/Jakob, etc., in other languages. The English James comes through the Spanish Jaime.
Johannes is John in English. There is one child in this family whose name is Johannes, but it is also the first name of some or all of the other sons. When there are double given names, the pattern is to use the one closest to the surname. In this family they nicknamed the Johannes part, too, and ran the nicknames together. Hon is a phonetic rendering of the Dutch Jan, short for Johannes.
Johangurge is Johannes Gurge/Jurge. The equivalent would be John George in English.
Honyost is Johannes Jost [Justus].
Barvalis is Barbara Elisabeth. I can hear a small sibling attempting the new baby's name.
Hannarum, I believe, is another son whose first name is Johannes. His middle name is likely Abraham or Aaron.
Look for the children's names to be the same as their baptismal sponsors. The pattern of naming the first son after the paternal grandfather and the next son after the maternal grandfather was used among the Dutch.
Other sources of information on Dutch names:
"Dutch baptismal names and their equivalents in English," Collection of the Holland Society of New York, Vol. 1, Part 1 (1891).
Articles on Dutch personal names in The American Genealogist periodical vol. 32, 33, 37.
Rosalie Fellows Bailey. Dutch systems in family naming, New York and New Jersey. National Genealogical Society Special Publication #12; reprinted from the NGS Qtrly vol. 41, 1953.
World Conference on Records and Genealogy Seminar, 1969. Vol. 5, area I, #27.
Maryly B. Penrose, Compendium of Early Mohawk Valley Families (2 vol., Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1990) has some KLOCK information.
Some of the above books and articles will help with understanding the Dutch patronymic system. Jacomyntie may not have had a "real" surname, just a patronymic.
Ida Skarson McCormick, Seattle
From: "M'Lisa Whitney" - firstname.lastname@example.com
Date: Fri, 01 Nov 1996 17:15:50 -0800
The first name would probably be spelled Johannis, which just means son of John (the IS or NIS at the end notes that he's a son). Don't swear by it though, because it is possible he was named Johannes, means the same thing. But what I'm getting around to is that the name was either JohannEs or JohannIs. Jacobus wouldn't work either. If he was named Jacob, he is NOT the son of Jacob. BUT, he could have been named Jacob Jacobse, which means that he IS the son of Jacob. Even the girls had this type of thing thrown into their names. How's this one grab ya: Annetje Jacobse Van Winkle. This means she is the "girl" of Jacob. By the way, that "girl" denotion could mean anything from daughter to wife.
M'Lisa Whitney, Spokane
From: Lorine McGinnis Schulze - Specializing in Loyalist Research in Ontario
I know what Y.M. and Y.D. mean, especially in marriage records. But what does Y. W. mean? E.g. in the Bergen N.J. Reformed Dutch Church baptism records 1684 Oct 5:Parents: Hans Spier and Treyntje Pieters Child: Hendrick Witnesses: Jan Aerts van de Bilt Catreyna Spier, Y. W.Catryena Spier was about 17 years old when she witnessed this event.
As this record is from Bergen NJ (New Jersey, USA)
YM = young man (Dutch: JM = jonge man) indicating not married before.
YD = young daughter ( JD = jonge dochter) indicating not married before.
YW = young wife / woman (maybe indication exceptionally young married?)
If Y means "young" and M means "man" and D means "dame" (lady) than W can be widow but thats not likely at 17. It can also mean WEES, a parentless child. Who knows?
The November 1996 issue of my genealogical quarterly newsletter, "New Netherland Connections". as a feature article by James Nohl Churchyard entitled "Introduction to Dutch Names".
Subscriptions to "New Netherland Connections" are $15.00 (U.S. currency) per calendar year. This new periodical began in February 1996, and it was reviewed in the April 1996 issue of the "Record" of the New York Genealogical & Biographical Society. Each issue is 28 pages long. Regular sections are QUERIES (of any length) -- free to subscribers and to non-subscribers alike -- and "Replies to Queries".
An understanding of the Dutch naming system is *essential* for not getting lost in researching the family ties of our Dutch colonial ancestors and their kin.

Minutes with Cornel from CLC Kenya
Cornel has been in the CLC Kenya for the last 14 years. Now he lives in Kitale, a town near the Ethio-Kenya boarder. On the General Assembly of the CLC that took place in Addis Ababa from 29-31 August, he shared his life experiences in CLC. He talked about the meaning of life in CLC , about CLC as a community and the three pillars of the CLC. The following was taken from what he had said during the event.
What is CLC?
CLC is about life, it is about living whatever the CLC gives; CLC is a way of life. Once you enter the CLC you begin to live a particular life. When we started CLC 14 years ago, we were 46, and there was a Canadian Priest who was accompanying us. At the beginning, our expectation with the priest was so high that within 6 months only 7 of us remained. Those seven chose CLC life to this day. CLC is living this life every moment: whether you are in your office—working, or in the class room—teaching.
CLC Elects a Coordinator and a Treasurer
Members of the Christian Life Community in Ethiopia elected Gemechu Bekele Lemu the new National Coordinator and Elsabeth Efrem the Treasurer of CLC Ethiopia on 31 August 2014. The outgoing Coordinator, Ephrem Tekle, was praised for his positive contributions to CLC Ethiopia
The election was held during the General Assembly meeting that took place at Kidane Mihret Parish in Addis Ababa from 29-31 August 2014. Gemechu is currently working as communication officer at the Horn of Africa Regional Environment Center and Network, Addis Ababa. Elsabeth is assistant coordinator for the Golden Jubilee Celebration of the Ethiopian Bishops' Conference, Addis Ababa. Both make up the National Executive Committee along with Tamrat Woldemariam (Wolaitasoddo ) and Alemu Tereda (Emdebir).

Dynacast International Announces New Service Offering
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynacast International, a global die casting manufacturer, announced today that they are adding metal injection molding (MIM) to their service offerings. The addition of MIM as a manufacturing process means that Dynacast will be expanding its ability to produce small, complex components using a wider variety of metals.
The MIM process is suitable for producing small and even micro-size components, often with very complex geometries, using metals such as stainless steel, titanium, copper, and more. Dynacast has been manufacturing small- and medium-sized die cast components for more than 70 years using aluminum, magnesium and zinc alloys.

"This process is a natural fit for Dynacast, as it only sharpens our focus on providing small, complex components to our customers and it opens up a whole new market for us," Newman noted. Dynacast offers two manufacturing processes in addition to MIM; die casting and injected metal assembly (IMA). These processes are used to make metal components and assemblies for thousands of companies in hundreds of industries around the world.
About DynacastDynacast International is a global manufacturer of small, engineered metal components. Utilizing proprietary die cast and metal injection molding technologies, we offer robust solutions to a variety of industries including automotive, consumer electronics, healthcare, hardware, computers and peripherals and many others.

JDS Uniphase: M&A Speculation Heating Up In The Test & Measurement IndustryAtonRa Partners • Wed, Oct. 15
- A major competitor emerges in the Test & Measurement business as NetScout acquires a Danaher unit.
- Pressure is likely to mount on JDSU's management to enter into M&A discussions regarding its NSE unit.
- The NetScout – Danaher deal was achieved at 3.1x 2013 sales, significantly above JDSU's current multiple (1.5x).
Update: JDS Uniphase's Speculative Appeal To Materialize As Activist Investors Step InAtonRa Partners • Thu, Oct. 2 • 1 Comment
- Activist investor Sandell is said to push for a sale of JDS Uniphase's optical components and lasers business.
- This is perfectly in line with our scenario: we believe that both the optical unit and the network-testing equipment unit could be sold before the spin-off expected in Q3 2015.
- Selling assets is the only way to monetize potential cost synergies and deferred tax assets, hence to unlock value.
JDS Uniphase A Potential M&A Target For Agilent's Keysight, Telecom Equipment VendorsAtonRa Partners • Fri, Sep. 19 • 1 Comment
- Following the recent spin-off announcement, we believe that JDS Uniphase's two main businesses could attract M&A attention.
- Both businesses lack critical size in a tough telecom equipment market and have huge deferred tax assets that could be monetized by large predators.
- Core JDS Uniphase could potentially attract Agilent's Keysight, while software-defined networks and optical assets could be grabbed by telecom equipment vendors.
Is JDS Uniphase Poised To Beat The Whisper Number?WhisperNumber • Tue, Aug. 12
- The whisper number is $0.14, one cent ahead of the analysts' estimate.
- JDS Uniphase has a 65% positive surprise history (having topped the whisper in 31 of the 48 earnings reports for which we have data).
- The overall average post earnings price move is 'opposite' (beat the whisper number and see weakness, miss and see strength) when the company reports earnings.
Modeling Share Prices: JDS Uniphase To HoldIvan Kitov • Tue, Apr. 1 • 2 Comments
- We have developed a share price model for JDS Uniphase as based on consumer price index of postage and delivery services together with index of all items less energy.

- The model standard error is $3.38 since July 2003 that corresponds to the level of intermonth price fluctuations.

JDS Uniphase Corporation - Analyst/Investor DayFeb. 14, 2013
Tue, Dec. 9, 1:52 PM
- Verizon CFO Fran Shammo has promised his company will continue growing wireless capex (albeit while cutting wireline capex) to keep up with data traffic growth. Small cells and smart antennas were mentioned as areas of interest.
- The remarks have been well-received by investors in telecom equipment and component/chip vendors, many of whom have been hit hard by soft North American and (to an extent) European spending. The Nasdaq is up 0.3%.
- Gainers: JDSU +3.6%. FNSR +3.1%. CYNI +10.1%. INFN +2.8%. CIEN +1.9%. AMCC +3.7%. PMCS +3.7%. ZHNE +3%. OCLR +5.4%. AFOP +2.8%. ADTN +2.5%. UBNT +2.2%. XXIA +1.7%. CALX +3.5%. EZCH +2.9%. SONS +2.4%. Sonus is also benefiting from a bullish Wedbush coverage launch.
- The group was pummeled in November after AT&T set a 2015 capex budget of $18B, down from 2014's $21B.
Thu, Nov. 20, 1:38 PM
- Optical networking hardware vendors and their component suppliers are turning in a good day. The gains come a day after component vendor Oplink announced it's being acquired by Koch Industries for $445M, and will be managed by connector maker Molex (a Koch subsidiary).
- RBC thinks Koch's entrance into the slumping component industry could trigger further consolidation. "Current fab utilization rates remain low ... with optical component vendors unable to charge a premium for their innovation. Gross margins are currently weighed by competitive pressures with optical component makers willing to cut pricing to account for high fixed costs."
- The firm believes Finisar (FNSR +1%) could be a buyer, and JDS Uniphase (JDSU +1.5%) and Oclaro (OCLR +7.1%) sellers. JDS, set to spin off its component unit, is facing activist pressure to put the business on sale.
- Meanwhile, Ciena (CIEN +2.8%) announced this morning it's partnering with Avaya to offer an enterprise solution that pairs its optical networking and integrated optical/Ethernet gear with Avaya's Ethernet switches. Like peers, Ciena is trying to lower its dependence on pressured carrier capex budgets.
- Other gainers: AFOP +3.7%. NPTN +3.3%. ADTN +2.7%. INFN +1.9%.
Mon, Nov. 17, 6:04 PM
- After management rejected its call to do so, activist Sandell Asset management has issued an open letter outlining its case for why JDS Uniphase (NASDAQ:JDSU) should put its optical component/commercial laser unit (CCOP, set to be spun off) on the block.
- Sandell also calls for shareholders not to re-elect CEO Thomas Waechter and governance committee chair Martin Kaplan to the board at JDS' annual meeting.
- Sandell: "It is our belief that there are several potential buyers who would be interested in an outright acquisition of the CCOP business, and we believe that a sale could be consummated far sooner than the 3rd quarter of 2015, which is the date of the proposed CCOP spin-off."
- The firm adds JDS "has federal, state, and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $6.1 billion, $1.8 billion, and $1.0 billion, respectively." It argues a CCOP sale acts as the most effective way to monetize the NOLs.
- JDS: "The JDSU Board believes that pursuing an auction process for the sale of any business segment, as Sandell proposes, would be harmful to the business and not serve to maximize shareholder value."
- Bloomberg reported in October Sandell was pushing for a CCOP sale.
Thu, Nov. 13, 3:28 PM
- Though Cisco is higher after beating FQ1 estimates and issuing soft FQ2 guidance, many telecom equipment and component/chip names are going in the opposite direction.
- At issue: Cisco reported a 10% Y/Y drop in service provider orders (-18% in the U.S.), while stating on its CC (transcript) it "saw dramatically reduced spend at several large U.S. service providers." The networking giant also suggested demand will remain weak during the next couple of quarters.
- The remarks came just a few days after AT&T set a 2015 capex budget of $18B (down from 2014's $21B), prompting a Monday selloff in equipment vendors and their suppliers.
- Today's decliners: ALU -3.8%. CIEN -2.8%. JDSU -3.1%. FNSR -3.7%. JNPR -1.7%. INFN -3.8%. RKUS -3.4%. ZHNE -3.2%. AMCC -4.1%. CALX -2.7%. CYNI -1.8%. ADTN -3.5%. ALLT -2.4%. FN -1.9%.
Mon, Nov. 10, 9:51 AM
- Declaring its Project VIP network expansion effort ahead of schedule, AT&T has set a 2015 capex budget of $18B, down from 2014's $21B and below a prior forecast of $20B. The figure is equal to only 13% of AT&T's 2015 revenue consensus.
- Telecom equipment and optical component makers, many of whom have already felt the effects of AT&T's subdued 2014 wireline capex, are off in early trading. CSCO -1.4%. ALU -4.8%. CIEN -6.6%. ADTN -7.8%. JNPR -2.5%. RKUS -2.1%. SONS -2.9%. FNSR -2.9%. JDSU -1.1%. RKUS -2.1%. XXIA -2%. FFIV -1.6%. ERIC -1.7%.
- Cisco delivers its FQ1 report on Wednesday. The networking giant reported an 11% Y/Y FQ4 drop in service provider orders, thanks to both weak demand and share loss.
Wed, Oct. 29, 4:24 PM
- JDS Uniphase (NASDAQ:JDSU) expects FQ2 revenue of $445M (+/- $12M) and EPS of $0.15 (+/- $0.03), below a consensus of $445.9M and $0.17 at the midpoints. Given the bad news seen by many peers and suppliers, investors aren't upset with the numbers.
- Consumer/commercial optical products (about to be spun off) saw revenue rise 6.3% Q/Q and 2.3% Y/Y in FQ1 to $209.3M. Network enablement (test equipment) -19.8% and -8.5% to $132.8M; service enablement (boosted by M&A) +10.6% and +79.9% to $48.2M; optical security/performance +1.6% and -17.5% to $43.3M.
- Gross margin was 49%, -100 bps Q/Q and +270 bps Y/Y. GAAP opex +9% Y/Y to $195.1M.
- FQ1 results, PR
Wed, Oct. 29, 4:10 PM
- JDS Uniphase Corporation (NASDAQ:JDSU): FQ1 EPS of $0.14 beats by $0.04.
- Revenue of $433.6M (+1.1% Y/Y) beats by $16.93M.
- Shares -0.65% AH.
- Press Release
Fri, Oct. 24, 12:32 PM
- Though Ericsson (ERIC -3%) beat Q3 estimates, the mobile infrastructure giant stated North American business activity "slowed down during the quarter as operators currently focus on cash flow optimization." It added North American spending patterns make it tough to judge near-term demand.
- Ericsson's North American sales fell 3% Y/Y to $1.93B, partly offsetting strong growth in China, India (+56%), the Middle East (+38%), and other emerging markets. Top-line figures were boosted some by M&A.
- AT&T and Verizon have been taking cautious approaches to capex, and Sprint (though investing heavily in 4G following the SoftBank deal) has been looking to cut costs under new CEO Marcelo Claure. The U.S. and Japan have been ahead of many other developed markets in ramping 4G coverage.
- Juniper (JNPR -6.3%) offered light Q4 guidance two weeks after delivering a Q3 warning, and reported its service provider sales were down 6% Y/Y due to soft demand from Asia-Pac, EMEA, and (especially) U.S. carriers.
- When the world's #2 carrier router vendor was asked on the CC (transcript) about 2015 sales, CEO Shaygan Keradpir admitted Juniper has poor near-term visibility, and that a rebound could take time. "Because we think these cycles typically take 2 to 4 quarters ... our planning assumption is that growth will return in the second half of 2015."
- Nokia and Infinera recently offered more positive numbers/commentary. Bulls have argued strong data/video traffic growth will lift capex. Bears have argued soft (if not negative) carrier revenue growth will continue pressuring spending.
- Decliners: ALU -1.6%. JDSU -2%. INFN -3.1%. CIEN -2.5%. CALX -2.5%. FNSR -1.8%. ADTN -1.5%. The Nasdaq is up 0.4%.
Fri, Oct. 10, 10:58 AM
- Telecom equipment makers and their chip/component suppliers are seeing more pain after Juniper (JNPR -7.5%) and Procera (PKT -32%) issued Q3 warnings (I, II), the latest bad earnings news for an industry that has seen plenty due to soft wireline capex. A few enterprise-focused networking vendors are also having a rough day.
- Cisco (CSCO -3.1%) has fallen below $23.50, and Alcatel-Lucent (ALU -4.3%) below $2.50. Other decliners: CIEN -4.7%. JDSU -4.6%. FFIV -5.3%. ANET -7%. RKUS -5.7%. SONS -4.4%. INFN -2.4%. CYNI -3.5%. AMCC -10%. PMCS -3.4%. NPTN -7.7%.
- Analysts are defending Juniper, arguing (in remarks that also have implications for peers) bad news has been priced in and that telecom capex is likely to improve in 2015. Bulls have argued Web/mobile traffic growth and SDN/NFV investments will ultimately boost capex, in spite of industry service revenue pressures.
- The Nasdaq as a whole is down 1.2%. Chip stocks are off sharply following Microchip's warning and prediction of an industry correction.

- Bloomberg reports activist investor Sandell Asset Management is pushing JDS Uniphase (JDSU +2.6%) to sell (through an auction) its optical component and commercial laser ops, which the company is set to spin off from its network test equipment/software, anti-counterfeiting, and 3D sensing/gesture recognition ops.
- Sandell also reportedly wants JDS to "extract tax benefits from operating losses estimated to potentially be worth $10 a share." The firm currently holds a 2% stake.
- JDS' optical component and laser businesses accounted for $196.9M of the company's June quarter revenue of $448.6M. Optical component sales only rose 1.4% Y/Y to $156.2M, but laser sales (boosted by strong industrial cutting/chip equipment demand) rose 44.3% to $40.7M.

Our Texas Ranch, Resort History
Cibolo Creek Ranch was founded by Milton Faver in 1857.
Although his birthplace is not known with certainty, he was most likely born and raised in Missouri. Local lore contends that, while in his teens, he fought a duel and fled south, believing he had killed his opponent.
Faver made his way to Meoqui, Chihuahua, Mexico, married Senorita Francisca Ramirez, and began a freighting business. It was a modest beginning, with a single cart of Mexican goods which he transported to and sold in Texas. He brought the cart back filled with American goods to sell in Mexico. He soon established regular trade with Fort Davis, the US Army cavalry post founded in 1854 in the Davis Mountains to protect the Overland Trail to California. Recognizing the business opportunity that Fort Davis offered, Faver acquired land on Cibolo Creek.
Faver built the first of his three forts, El Fortin del Cibolo, in 1857, as a defensive measure against Apaches, Comanches, and bandits of all kinds. His ranching empire boasted as many as 20,000 longhorns and herds of sheep and goats by the 1880s, making him the preeminent pioneer of the region.
El Fortin del Cibolo (the Fort on Cibolo Creek) was Faver's stronghold, where he operated a sizable agricultural enterprise fed by nearby springs. Faver later built El Fortin de la Ciénega (the Fort at the Marsh), where he headquartered his cattle operation, and El Fortin de la Morita (the Fort at the Little Mulberry Tree), which became the center of his sheep and goat operations. His vast enterprise not only supplied beef but also farm produce and his famous peach brandy to troops occupying Fort Davis, settlers in the region, and after silver was discovered, to the miners in Shafter, next door.
Milton Faver, also known in his time by the honorary title, don Meliton, is one of the most important individual contributors to Big Bend history. His ranch withstood the withdrawal of federal troops during Civil War times and the resulting onslaught of Apaches and Comanches until the return of Union forces in 1867. During the tumultuous times of the latter 1800s, Faver managed to keep the inhabitants of his colony faithful and active in the defense of his settlements. Continued trade with Fort Davis supplied Union troops at the fort, supporting their stay in the region, and ensured continued settlement of the area until the advent of the railroad. He was an early pioneer in Texas cattle drives and is thought by some to be the inspiration for the television character Gil Faver on Rawhide.
Upon his death in 1889, Faver left his estate to his wife, Francisca, and his only child, Juan. Juan died in 1913, followed shortly by his mother.
Sadly, Cibolo Creek Ranch thereafter passed through several owners over the years and finally succumbed to picturesque ruin prior to its purchase by John Poindexter in 1990.
